Chapter Ninety-Two: A Wave of Ambushes
Agudammu glanced at Talik, and suddenly disliked it in his heart, what kind of attitude do you have?
Your dad hasn't become a Khan yet! Even if you become a Great Khan, it will not be this attitude.
"Those Ming troops are well-equipped and fearless of death, and we can't stop them at all." Agudamu is not happy in his heart, I have lost so many people here, and you are still picking and choosing here.
"Then why don't you chase after them and entangle them?" Pull Rick this anger!
A bunch of waste.
However, Pullik also knew that now was not the time to deal with Agudamu, so he waved his hand and said loudly: "Continue to chase, you must not let the Ming people pass the green mound!" After saying that, he chased him out first.
Aozuka, this place can be said to be deeply remembered by the people of Warat.
In that year, the Ming army attacked Bansheng City, and Altan Khan's cavalry pursued it to Qingzuka, and was ambushed by the Ming Dynasty. Although it was said that the Ming Dynasty did not take advantage of that battle, Altan Khan still suffered a loss.
Not only did they not catch up, but they were also ambushed by the Ming army, although the loss was not big, but it was aggrieved!
Since that battle, Aozuka has become the default demarcation between the Ming army and Warat.
After the green mound, walking forward is the Yunchuan Wei of the Ming Dynasty. If you haven't caught up near Aotsuka, you can't chase it anymore. Once the green mound is passed, his 10,000 people are easily surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army.
Unlike Rick's idea, Li Dong couldn't wait to run through Qingzuka quickly, so that he could survive.
Not to mention anything else, just by running to Yunchuanwei, these people have the power to fight.
A hundred miles north of the green mound, a group of soldiers hid in a mountain col, and this was the seventh day they had been here. He did not set up camp, did not cook, and ate the compressed dry food he carried every day, and his tongue was wooden.
Qi Jiguang took a bite of compressed dry food, poured a sip of water, and chewed for a long time before swallowing it.
Glancing at the bread in his hand, Qi Jiguang didn't know what the emperor had made for him. I've been eating it for days, and my appetite is not good. I took a bite of the cured meat, and it was a little better.
This kind of compressed dry food is indeed full, but it is too unpalatable.
If you don't eat some pickles, this thing is still heartburn, Qi Jiguang still has pickled meat to eat, and the people below can only eat pickles. But Qi Jiguang doesn't care, if you want to eat well, you have to be an official, and if you want to be an official, you have to have merit.
This is also an incentive, and there is a saying in Jingying now: for eating meat!
Don't underestimate the motivation to eat meat, you must know that eating meat represents more than just eating meat!
"Dashuai, we've been waiting here for seven days, and we'll eat this dry food for another three days!" By Qi Jiguang's side, Wu Weiying took a bite of the marinated meat and said, "In the past few days, more than 2,000 people can't stand it. ”
The soldiers of the Beijing camp, not to mention the rest, the food is still good. Although most of the people have adapted to the march since the march, they still can't stand it after eating dry food every day. Most of the 7,000 cavalry led by himself had stomach aches.
If it weren't for the medical school doctor following, it would have been fatal.
Qi Jiguang glanced at Wu Weiying, and said with a smile: "Little uncle, do you want to go back?" ”
For Wu Weiying, Qi Jiguang really likes it, the son of Gongshun Bo, but he does not have the temperament of a nobleman. The whole person is very introverted, the key is to be able to fight, this person is a fierce general.
Especially the immediate kung fu, it was really, really good.
Liu Wei glanced at Wu Weiying and teased: "The little uncle can't bear this hardship, it's better to go home and hug the child!" “
As Liu Xian's son, Liu Wei is also quite important in Beijing. However, Liu Xian did not put his son in the Tokyo camp, but threw him into the Xijing camp. mentioned that the Xijing battalion practiced cavalry, and Liu Wei came running.
The cavalry battalion had two guards, each with 7,000 cavalry, plus auxiliaries, for a total of 20,000 men, but only 15,000 could be beaten.
As the only two cavalry guards in Beijing, the two of them naturally don't like each other on weekdays, plus they are both young people, and their tempers are explosive when they practice martial arts, and they just get up in a few words. It's just that these two people are pressed by their bosses and can't make trouble.
Originally, the commander of the Xijing camp was Ma Fang, and the two of them were incomparable in front of Ma Fang in terms of seniority or military exploits.
After Ma Fang died, Qi Jiguang supervised the Xijing camp, and these two people could only pretend to be grandsons in front of Qi Jiguang.
Glaring at Liu Wei, Wu Weiying said angrily: "Just talk about not practicing, if you are not convinced, immediately compete, see if your knife is powerful, or my knife is powerful!" ”
These two guys are all big swordsmen, and they also compare, but for a while, no one can help anyone.
Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Okay, when you compare, it's just not now." ”
It is actually quite dangerous to take people out of Qingzuka for a hundred miles, but Qi Jiguang has confidence in himself and even more confidence in his subordinates. With 15,000 cavalry, plus 15,000 foot soldiers, plus 500 artillery pieces, and 5,000 Shenji battalions, Qi Jiguang felt that Vara could fight a battle even if there were tens of thousands of people.
You must know that the emperor let himself come to the grassland so excitedly, it is not for hanging out, and he is sorry for the emperor if he doesn't fight.
When he was in the capital, the emperor studied with himself, and at that time he expected that Huang Taiji would intercept and kill the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, and the possibility of the three ladies watching from the wall was very high, and it would even add fuel to the fire.
He and the emperor felt that this was an opportunity, and maybe they could give Huang Taiji a hard time.
Originally, the best ambush location was Qingzuka, but Qi Jiguang was afraid that Huang Taiji would not be able to catch up with Qingzuka, and he was also worried that the Ming army would not be able to hold on to Qingzuka, so he simply moved the team north for a hundred miles, waiting for Huang Taiji's people to get in.
Of course, this is also an inference, whether it can be done or not is not certain, this is whether there are dates or no dates.
If you can't fight, then it will be regarded as training, and during this period of marching, these soldiers of the Beijing camp have suffered a lot, but compared to when they were in the capital, they are a little more restrained, and they don't look so fancy.
If you can beat it, then you can earn it, and this wave will definitely make Huang Taiji's flesh hurt.
In order to achieve the purpose of ambush, he didn't even set up a camp, didn't cook, and slept in a thing called a sleeping bag at night. This play is made of linen, and there is a lot of hair stuffed in it, chicken feathers, duck feathers, and camel hair.
It's quite warm, but the smell is really unspeakable.
After staying up for seven days, many people couldn't stand it, and Qi Jiguang could also feel that his subordinates' minds were beginning to be impetuous.
"Can't you come back?"
Qi Jiguang couldn't help but sigh, glanced at Wu Weiying and Liu Wei who were cross-eyed, Qi Jiguang opened his mouth and said, "Okay, you can go back after eating!" Tell the people below that you'll be back in two days. ”
There are three days of rations left, and if you don't go back, you can't hold on.
After getting Qi Jiguang's reply, the two of them stood up and left.
This time, there were 30,000 people, as well as cannons and horses, so naturally it was impossible to stay in one place, otherwise the dung alone would be able to withstand the wind and smell for ten miles. Even if you are ambushing like this now, sometimes you can smell the wind.
In addition, although there is a mountain col here, the place suitable for hiding soldiers is also very small, so it can only be hidden separately.
For example, Qi Jiguang's side, there are only 3,000 of his pro-army, and he can't hide it a little more.
Listening to the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind him, Li Dong was anxious, he didn't expect the horses of the people in Warat to be so good and so fast. Although I don't have one person and two riders on my side, the horses are all good horses!
"Everyone is holding on, the front is Qinghugou, and after Qinghugou, you will reach Qingzuka!"
As Li Dong ran, he said loudly to the cavalry around him, and the cavalry around him also shouted to boost morale.
At this time, Qi Qi was sitting on the horse, his face was pale, and although he was pulling the reins of the horse in his hand, he felt that he couldn't control the horse at all, and the horse had been pulling him to run. Now I can't feel the presence of my body, so I can only force myself not to fall.
"Marshal, there are cavalry!"
A guard came to Qi Jiguang's side and said with a serious face.
In the Ming army, scouts lying on the ground listening to the sound of horses' hooves are all necessary skills. Li Dong's cavalry hadn't arrived yet, and they had already felt it.
Listening to the words of the guard, Qi Jiguang was suddenly overjoyed and stood up from the ground suddenly.
"Tell everyone to prepare, bow up, knife unsheathed, and wait for the order!"
finally came, he didn't wait in vain for the past seven days, and said that Qi Jiguang took someone to find a hillside that could be hidden. Through the hiding of the bushes, poke your head out and look out. As soon as he lay down, Qi Jiguang heard the sound of horses' hooves.
What appeared in Qi Jiguang's eyes was the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, but their situation was very critical.
From time to time, a war horse fell to the ground, obviously this is because the war horse has run too hard. Behind them, a large group of Varat cavalry was in hot pursuit. From time to time, there were Warat cavalry who shot arrows, and the Ming army also turned back from time to time to shoot arrows to counterattack.
The two sides were already within range of their bows and arrows, and they would be able to catch up in a few moments.
"It's dangerous!"
Qi Jiguang muttered, and said to the people behind him: "Order the artillery, wait a minute, the Wara cavalry rush in and fire the cannon directly." Ordered Wu Weiying to lead people to assault from the right side, and let Liu Wei assault from the left. ”
"Ben Shuai quickly encircled with 10,000 foot soldiers, and 5,000 foot soldiers and the Shenji battalion attacked from the south side."
The herald turned and ran out.
Of course, the heralds did not have to run over to give orders, but used the flag, which they had arranged a long time ago. Each ambush site has observation posts, and their role is to read the flags. As for scouting the perimeter, that's the scout's job.
After receiving the order, the Ming army in ambush moved quickly.
Liu Wei pulled the war horse, turned over on the horse, and slashed the big knife in his hand: "Wu Weiying, this time I want to see who has cut off more heads." ”
Wu Weiying also turned over excitedly and got on the horse, this was the first time he was in the battle formation, but he was very excited.
After receiving the order, the artillerymen hiding on the hillside quickly removed the cover covering the cannon, stuffed the shells into the muzzle, lit the torches, and waited for the commander to give the order to open the cannon.
