Chapter 51: The First Voice

In fact, Liu Zhilun's soldiers have already completed several natural eliminations, after all, it was originally 20,000 thousands of people out of the capital, and after more than 20 days of non-stop attrition, more than half of them are now left.

Now there are only a few treacherous and old and weak people in the team.

Liu Zhilun is also a big fool, whether he can really take down Zunhua and seize a large amount of silver to reward the soldiers, as long as the soldiers have a fighting spirit, he feels that what Huang Han has done is remarkable.

In history, it was Fan Wencheng who found that the Ming army was overwhelming, and he only had 800 armored people in his hands who couldn't even stand in a circle on the Zunhua city wall, how to prevent the Ming army from attacking the city?

He made a risky move and chose to send cavalry out of the city to take the initiative to attack the Ming army with absolute superiority, and sure enough, he broke Liu Zhilun's two battalions.

The Eight Banners Army's frenzied rush and chopping out of momentum directly caused the remaining six battalions of Liu Zhilun's department to be suppressed by the Houjin Army, and they no longer dared to attack Zunhua City, which was still taking the initiative.

Fan Wencheng won a full nine days and waited for the reinforcements led by Dai Shan.

Huang Han believed that Fan Wencheng needed men and horses to stay behind, and at most he could only send half of his men out of the city to raid the Ming army.

Therefore, he made preparations early, with the aim of trying to leave all the Houjin troops who attacked.

He generously told all the Ming army that Jiannu and Tartar were paper tigers, and he liked to give the Ming army a dismount.

When our army approaches Zunhua City, the Jiannu cavalry will definitely have four or five hundred cavalry to sneak attack.

Huang Han asked everyone not to panic and stipulate which unit was killed and what to do next in the event of a surprise attack by Jiannu.

Then it was to spare no effort to publicize, resulting in every Ming army knowing that when they came to Zunhua City, they would encounter a surprise attack by Jiannu, and their own master had long expected that as long as everyone did not panic and obey the order and listen to the command, they would be able to win the battle.

Even many officers were shouting: "Brothers, we have 10,000 people, as well as ironclad cavalry, and the four or five hundred Jiannu who have come to fight are not a problem." If you get a reward for military merit, you will be rewarded with silver, and you will be promoted to an official and make a fortune, depending on whether you are fast enough to cut off the head of a slave. ”

Tactics, sneak attacks, and surprise attacks are all designed to catch the opponent off guard.

When Liu Zhilun's Ming army knew when and where it would be, and estimated how many Jiannu cavalry would attack, Fan Wencheng was ridiculous to play the surprise attack and knock the mountain and shock the tiger again.

Presumably, Fan Wencheng didn't know that there was a traverser in the Ming army who came to attack Zunhua, and he would turn his surprise attack into going out of the city to send the head.

There is no way, the soul piercing itself is a huge golden finger, Huang Han obviously knows this history, how not to take the lead and use it skillfully.

Because all the Ming troops rushed to the road, more than 10,000 men and horses rushed to a place more than ten miles outside the south gate of Zunhua on the afternoon of the third day.

As early as when he was still twenty miles away from Zunhua City, Huang Han, together with all the cavalry, once again reminded everyone to be on high alert, and Jiannu Bao might not appear in the next moment.

Since yesterday noon, it has been repeatedly emphasized that Jiannu is coming to attack, and all the soldiers have heard the calloon coming in their ears.

At the beginning, when they heard that they were about to be attacked, every Ming army seemed very nervous, but after repeated nagging all the time, everyone was already aesthetically fatigued, and the Ming army at this time was nervous and was waiting for Jiannu to come to death.

They are not stupid, they found that the brothers around them were holding back their strength to grab the head of Jiannu, knowing that they had 10,000 people, and the enemy was only four or five hundred, and the probability of winning a big victory was too high, and they all expected to grab military merits.

Huang Han's cavalry team could have intercepted the Jiannu cavalry, which might be less than his own, but Huang Han was not prepared to do so after ventilating with Liu Zhilun.

Because if the Jiannu who launched the surprise attack found that the Ming cavalry was arrayed head-on, if their intelligence was close to the normal value, they should understand that this sortie was exposed, and they would definitely not have a war of attrition with the Ming army, and it was the best policy to retreat back to Zunhua immediately and wait for help.

The purpose of the Ming army was to annihilate all the Jiannu who had launched a surprise attack out of the city as much as possible, and the plan was to let Jiannu break into the Ming army that had been psychologically prepared for a long time, and Huang Han led the cavalry to intersperse behind Jiannu at the fastest speed to block their way back to the city.

I believe that after eliminating these people, Fan Wencheng's garrison will be even more stretched, and morale will plummet, and it is possible to abandon the city and flee directly.

The history books did not deceive people this time, Zunhua was indeed garrisoned by Fan Wencheng, he did think that with the eight hundred armored men who were good at field warfare, he might not be able to hold the city, and still decided to send four hundred cavalry to raid the Ming army on the march to take the lead.

Song Pengfei selected fifty first-class Ming soldiers or family members to form a scout team, this team went out ten miles to investigate, and four hundred Jiannu who galloped out from the south gate of Zunhua were soon discovered by the Ming army scouts who were hiding in the mountain bag and peeping at the official road.

The scouts were waiting to see Jiannu appear, and no one panicked at all when they saw that they were coming, and the scouts passed the news that Jiannu had been dispatched through sign language relays, and there were more than 400 people to investigate.

It didn't take long for Liu Zhilun's troops, who were still on the march, to get the news brought back by Song Pengfei, and everyone was loose outside and waiting for Jiannu to break through was the established policy, in the atmosphere of foresight, this time the Ming army was really not afraid.

They came out of the city and galloped not long before they encountered the Ming army about eight miles from the south gate of Zunhua, and the four hundred Jiannu successfully broke into the Ming army without much effort and almost did not face the resistance.

It's just that Jiannu, who came in, felt that the atmosphere was weird, and the commonplace Ming army was messing around and running around at all.

I only saw too many Ming soldiers grinning and laughing, pushing one unicycle after another and slamming into them, following behind the unicycle, there were archers shooting arrows, gunners were releasing guns, and from time to time rushing out of the pikemen with spears as long as one zhang and two feet in their hands, stabbing and stabbing indiscriminately.

Although it was a messy group fight, the key was that the Ming army had a good thing tied to a three-pole spear to help in the war.

Jiannu couldn't crash through such an improvised formation, and they lost speed and suffered a big loss.

After a while, more than 100 Jiannu were killed, and they immediately realized that they had been plotted, and the Ming army had been waiting for the Dajin Army to throw themselves into the net, and found that the situation was not good, and the surviving Jiannu immediately turned back and ran.

At this time, Huang Han had already lined up on Jiannu's way back, and more than 500 horsemen were already trotting, and when they found that Jiannu had come out, they immediately accelerated to form a formation and rush to kill.

The sound of the bowstring was like a crack, and more than 300 feather arrows attacked more than 200 Jiannu who fled, followed by a rain of arrows, and then there was another round, the front was attacked by a thousand feather arrows, and there were pursuers staring at the buttocks and beating them, and Jiannu was in big trouble.
