Chapter 281: Special Mission
Xu Da seemed to be extremely relaxed, and in the faint moonlight, Ma Du could clearly see that there was still a slight smile on his face. Ma Du asked softly, "Isn't the marshal afraid of fraud?" ”
"There is no choice, whether there is fraud or not, or whether there is someone to answer, Ben Shuai will kick the camp tonight!" He stretched out his hand and pointed to the Yuan army camp two miles away, "Besides, our army has broken through here, we already have a fifty percent chance of winning this battle, what else is there to be afraid of!" ”
"Oh, that's a fifty percent chance of winning?"
Chang Yuchun said: "Of course, you see which time the marshal camped not to expand the patrol circle to several miles, and there are also ten miles and eight miles." We are now only two miles from the enemy camp, and the odds of victory are more than fifty percent. ”
As he spoke, he saw a soldier bring two people over, and when he arrived at Xu Da, he said: "Tell the commander, Commander Guo has gone to the enemy camp with the people who responded." ”
When Xu Da heard this, he immediately ordered his subordinates, "You will be in position immediately, just wait for the signal to go straight to the enemy's camp," Chang Yuchun, Xue Xian, Fu Youde and others agreed in unison, and immediately took the order and left.
Xu Da said to Ma Du again: "Xuanzhong should go too!" ”
"Whoa!" Ma Du responded and rode away, and Xu Da also arranged a task for Ma Du in advance, and said that it was a very important task.
When the Ming army was preparing to kick the Yuan army's camp, Guo Ying had already followed the Huobi horse into the Yuan army's camp. This camp is really simple, there are no trenches, no fences, and even a few tents, but a place for a group of people to sleep.
The camp of more than 300 people with Guo Ying and Guo Ying was very eye-catching, but unfortunately they did not encounter any obstruction or interrogation, and the Yuan soldiers slept like dead pigs, and there was not even a patrol.
The situation in the camp was almost exactly the same as what Guo Ying saw on the nearby mountain, he was surprised and happy in his heart, thinking of Wang Baobao, who was sleeping in the tent nearby, Guo Ying couldn't help but get excited.
They arrived near Wang Baobao's tent unimpeded, Guo Ying was already excited, but suddenly someone shouted: "Why do you want to get close to the tent, what do you want to do, retreat quickly!" ”
When he saw that the dozing soldier who was scolded by him just now, he didn't expect that it would be this person who would harm him, and he knew that it would be good to let him sleep just now, he smiled and stepped forward and said, "It's me, Nose Horse!" ”
"It turned out to be General Huobi, how could he bring so many people close to the tent and not take them away quickly!"
"I have something to discuss with the prince, you go quickly!"
The soldier turned to leave, but he drew his knife and stabbed him in the back of the heart. The soldier seemed to be alert, leaned forward and dodged, the knife of the Nose Horse only scratched his back, and he shouted and rushed to Wang Baobao's tent, "The Nose Horse has rebelled!" The Nose Horse has mutinied! ……”
Guo Ying didn't dare to delay any longer, and ordered three hundred soldiers to draw their swords and chase after him. With such a big movement, Wang Baobao's personal soldiers would really be pigs if they didn't wake up again, and they got up from the ground and drew knives to meet them.
Guo Ying didn't take the time to fight with them at this time, and the grenade that had been prepared long ago was thrown directly over, boom, boom, boom ...... Immediately, a group of people turned on their backs, Guo Ying took the opportunity to rush to the handsome tent, the dim light in the handsome tent suddenly went out, and Guo Ying secretly screamed in his heart.
He felt a torch from the ground and rushed in, and the tent was empty, except for a delicate leather boot on the sheepskin mattress. A half-man-high opening was also cut at the back of the tent, and Guo Ying jumped to the back of the tent, where there was nothing but some panicked horses.
Guo Ying couldn't help scolding: "It's still run away by the dog!" ”
The dead soldier he brought with him asked, "Do you want to ride a horse to chase after you?" ”
"It's too late! Hurry up and send a signal to the big handsome, let's get on the horse and kill the fuck! ”
Five or six miles southwest of the Yuan army camp, Ma Du looked intently at the Yuan army camp, when suddenly a fire flashed, followed by a bang.
Ma Du instructed Chang Mao beside him: "Hurry up and light the fire!" ”
"Got it!" Chang Mao answered and blew the fire fold in his hand.
One torch after another lit up, hundreds of them, illuminating the surroundings.
"Fire!" Chang Mao ordered ten tiger squatting cannons and five cannons to immediately roar and spit out a ball of fire, he laughed and asked his subordinates, "How much will this artillery fire hurt the enemy?" ”
A gunner turned his head and replied with a smile: "Back to the general banner, a total of 10,000 enemies were wounded and 8,000 killed!" ”
Chang Mao waved his big hand, "Okay! Reload, hurry up and fire! ”
Ma Du smiled: "Chang Mao, you are really good at playing!" ”
Chang Mao said dissatisfiedly: "You don't give me a chance to make meritorious contributions, and I am not allowed to play, what are those who are in charge of playing the drums doing, hurry up!" ”
Several soldiers hurriedly took drumsticks and beat on the drums, and the sound of dong dong was endless.
"Now it's time to release the cannon, what to do with so much gunpowder, I don't know if gunpowder is expensive, three achievements are enough!"
The sound of drums, cannons, and hundreds of torches, from a distance, was quite loud, but in fact there were only fifty-four people in total. This is the task that Xu Da gave to Ma Du, and the louder the noise, the better.
Historically, Xu Da did the same in this battle, his main purpose was to intimidate the Yuan army, and it had two meanings. First, in order to let the Yuan army see that the Ming army's camp formation is very large, and there are Ming troops several miles away, and the cannon is rumbling and the fire is soaring to see if you are afraid; The second is that he is afraid that he will not be able to hold on to his troops enough, and he hopes that the scattered Yuan army will not run to this side, so that he can gather and destroy or take prisoners.
Ma Du was honored to serve as the commander of this mission, Chang Mao was his chosen deputy, originally this guy was a little dissatisfied because he couldn't follow everyone to kick the camp, but now he will have fun by himself when he is bored.
"You don't know the hearts of good people! It's so easy to kick the camp, there are hundreds of thousands of people and horses on both sides of the black and black, and if you are not careful, you will be trampled into mud......" Ma Du listened for a while, "Hearing that there is no such movement, eighty percent of the Yuan military camp is roaring, I bet that tomorrow the casualties will be counted, and the Yuan army will definitely not be trampled to death." You're my subordinate, and if you become like that, I'm really sorry to explain to your father. ”
Chang Mao listened with his ears tilted for a while, "Is this a camp roar?" My dad told me it wasn't like that? Besides, didn't you let Tang Ding follow him to kick the camp, so you weren't afraid that he would be trampled to death and that it would be difficult to explain to Lao Tang. ”
Ma Du said disdainfully: "Who are you still compared with, Tang Ding is the pillar of the musket battalion, but he is indispensable, you are at most a wooden pier, whether you want it or not, it's the same!" ”
Chang Mao was about to get angry, but he heard one of his soldiers say: "General Banner, my subordinates seem to have seen a cavalry turn around our side just now and ran away!" ”
