Chapter 137: The First Battle
At the foot of Huashan, which is more than 30 miles away from here, Xiantugan is ambushing here with his own tribe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Ye Xian Tugan had arrived here yesterday, and today he ventured to cross the Yanghe River in person to check the situation of Yun Xi's camp, and it was already dark at this time, and Ye Xian Tugan returned to his camp from the south bank of the Yanghe River with his cronies.
returned to his camp tent, and said to the left and right: "It turns out that there are still generals in Nanban, and the camp is so neatly arranged, it is really handsome." When the camp is broken, I must capture the main general of the Southern Barbarians alive. ”
At this time, he walked into the camp tent of Yexian Tugan and said: "Prince, I have made an appointment with the Ordos and Karaqin tribes on the left and right, so that they can attack Tianchengwei and Huai'anwei tonight to contain the armies around the Nanban. ”
Ye Xian Tugan shouted, "Okay." It would be better if the prince of Nanban stayed at Yanghe Fort at night, so that he could surround Yanghe Fort early tomorrow morning and smoke them; Now this is not possible, and can only attack the camp, but fortunately, although the Nanban is vigilant, after all, he doesn't know that we are coming, and he can attack at night. Take the stage, immediately order to go down, select the most elite 1,000 warriors, and attack the Nanban military camp on the night of the third watch tonight. ”
Yun Xi had been marching very hard during the day today, so he fell asleep not long after he finished talking to Lan Zhen and returned to his camp. Like Yunxi, most of the people who accompanied him, including Lan Jin, were all tired from the daytime march and rested early.
Only the brothers Qin Nan and Qin Song have not slept yet. Qin Nan said: "I don't see that you don't show much in front of Your Highness, you're still messing around." If you do this, how can you revitalize the Qin family! ”
Qin Song said: "It's not that you don't know my temperament, that's all." ”
Qin Nan said: "If I die in Ming'er, you will do the same!" ”
Qin Song said: "How can you talk about life and death." It's late today, so let's go to bed first. Then Qin Song turned over and lay down.
Qin Nan glanced at him helplessly, shook his head, and also lay down.
In the middle of the night, Tugan personally led a thousand Mongolian soldiers to cross the Yanghe River, salivating grass and horses, and slowly approached Yunxi's camp with the lightest movements.
Lan Zhen's arrangement was still very good, but he forgot that this was not a nervous Northern Expedition army, but an ordinary guard who no one thought would be attacked.
He also marched with a few soldiers to a place seven or eight feet away from the camp gate, lay on the ground, gently picked up the weeds in front of him, looked carefully, and made sure that the two Ming soldiers guarding the camp gate were already asleep, and said secretly: 'God help me. Then he motioned to the people around him.
The two Mongol soldiers beside him quietly half-squatted for four or five feet, then straightened up and walked a few quick steps, and then killed the Ming soldiers guarding the gate with daggers, and then moved the horses at the gate of the camp very quickly.
At this time, a Ming soldier probably woke up with urine and peed, and saw someone moving and refusing to move. The Ming soldier didn't actually see that it was a Mongolian soldier, but subconsciously shouted, "What are you doing?" ”
As soon as he finished saying this, he felt a chill on his body, and then he lost consciousness.
He also let go of the bow in his hand and took out his whistle and blew it violently. The guard with a thousand cavalry behind him heard the whistle and knew that he had been found when he broke through the camp gate, so he first said to the guards beside him: "Go back at once and tell the rest of the warriors, leave a thousand men to prepare according to the prince's previous arrangement, and the rest of them all mount their horses and come over." ”
Then he slapped the horse's ass and shouted: "Warriors, the time has come to capture the Nanban prince alive and re-enter the Central Plains. Then he rushed out in the first place. The rest of the Mongol soldiers also rushed out.
The moment Yexian Tugan blew the whistle, Lan Zhen had already woken up. The whistles of the Mongols are different from those of the Han Chinese, and Lan Zhen, who accompanied her father on many northern expeditions, is very sensitive to the sound of the whistle. Lan Zhen jumped out of bed as soon as he heard the whistle, he didn't know that the Mongols had come to capture Yun Xi, but he knew his duty.
He didn't have time to get dressed, so he ran out of his tent and asked his younger brother Lan Lian to wake up the nearby soldiers and run to the place where the horses were kept. At this time, he felt the tremor of the ground, and knew that it was the Mongolian cavalry charging, and he secretly thought that he was lucky.
It turned out that because the guards Yunxi were two thousand households, Lan Zhen was divided into two camps in front and back according to custom, and there were things such as rejecting horses in the middle of the two camps, and the Mongolian cavalry could not rush into the rear camp for a while even if they rushed into the front camp.
But most of the martial arts students and soldiers in the front camp were all saved. Lan Zhen forcibly resisted the intention of going back to command, and said to one of the personal soldiers who had gathered around him at this time: "You go and tell Lian'er that he can gather as many soldiers as he can, and then collect the people who ran from the front camp in front of the fence of the front and rear camps."
"But if more than a hundred Mongol cavalry come to the fence, they will not allow the men of the front camp to come again, and dare to charge into battle and shoot them with bows and arrows."
The pro-soldier was also a person who had accompanied Lan Yu on many northern expeditions, and he knew the reason why Ci was not in charge of the army, so he didn't speak, and turned around and ran to Lan Lian.
Lan Zhen asked several other relatives to go around and shout, "Get up quickly, go to the stable to get the horses." ”
Lan Zhen herself also ran to the stable, took out dozens of horses, and then said to Cao Xing, who also rushed here: "You take your own soldiers to maintain order here, and those who dare to rebel will be killed." Cao Xing nodded.
Lan Zhen mounted her horse and walked quickly to Yun Xi's camp.
Yun Xi had already woken up when the Mongol cavalry stormed the front camp, got up and put on his armor, and gathered the guards and subordinate officers around him to gather outside his camp tent.
But then Yun Xi was quite calm, but he didn't know what to do at all, although the guards around him had been on the battlefield, they were all small soldiers, where did they know what to do; Guo Zhen is a family background, but he is young and has not yet been on the battlefield, so these dozens of people are waiting in a daze near Yun Xi's camp.
This is what Lan Zhen saw when she came to Yun Xi's tent. Lan Zhen immediately said, "Your Highness, get on your horse quickly." ”
Yun Xi saw Lan Zhen as if he had seen the backbone, and immediately got on the horse according to his words, and then said, "Lan Qing, what should I do now?" ”
Lan Zhen said: "Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry rushed to the front camp; I expected that there would be more than 1,000 Mongol soldiers coming. Now the front camp is in chaos, the back camp is only more than 1,000 people, Yanghe Fort is only 500 soldiers, from the left and right Tianchengwei and Huai'anwei to here is a two-day journey, if there are soldiers to obstruct it, I don't know how much time. ”
"The security guard in the southeast is three days away, and there are not many troops on the fort from here to all sides, and it is okay to hold the fort, and it is useless to rescue. Therefore, it is not possible to hold on, and it is necessary to break through. ”
Yun Xi had no idea at this time, and asked, "Where to break through?" ”
"To the east." Lan Zhen said without hesitation. "There is Nettle Ridge in the east, as long as you get into Nettle Ridge, you can escape."
Yun Xi then nodded and said, "Then go east." (To be continued.) )
