Chapter 91: Failed Ambush (Favorites, Recommendations)
Chen Daquan felt that he had been deceived by Qin Yiming, where was this going to Chengtianfu, this was clearly the way to Suizhou, and it was the only way to Suizhou.
"Qin Qianhu, what do you mean by this? Are you going to stop the army of thieves here? Chen Daquan asked.
There was no need for Qin Yiming to continue to deceive Chen Daquan at this time, so he nodded and said: "This is the only way from Suizhou to Anlu, as long as you hold here, the thief army will not be able to reach Anlu." ”
"Are you crazy? Just with such a small number of people under your command? There are 100,000 Zhang Thief's army, and the imperial court has gathered more than 100,000 troops and there is no way to take him, you want to block Zhang Thief's way with a few thousand people, isn't this a mantis arm as a car, looking for death by yourself? Chen Daquan felt that he had no military talent, and he was far from being able to compare with his father-in-law Gao Qiqian, but no matter how he didn't know about the military, he also knew that the most intuitive condition for this war was the number of people, 5,000 people against 100,000 people, what is this not looking for death?
"Lord Chen, don't be in a hurry, the lower officials have their own calculations!" Qin Yiming didn't explain much, it was normal for Chen Daquan to be angry, because he didn't know the specific situation at all, he was helpless except to be angry, he couldn't move these soldiers, not to mention that his son was still a junior brother under Zhang Xiaoshe's door.
Qin Yiming originally didn't want to rely on this to fight with Zhang Xianzhong's main force in the field, the reason why he deceived Chen Daquan and used Chen Daquan's order to come here was to take Zhang Xianzhong's forward troops by surprise, weaken the enemy's old battalion, and frustrate the spirit, first of all, he brought all the well-trained elite soldiers, 1,000 firearms players, 500 archers, more than 2,000 spear infantry, more than 500 shield battalions, and 800 cavalry battalions of Ai Wannian, such a strong force, He is confident that he can fight with more than 5,000 people in Ai Nengqi who are alone, those homeless people, in fact, many of them are peasants who are coerced, and the old camp that can really fight, he estimates that there will be about 2,000 people to die, he is the one who fights more and less, plus sophisticated firearms, can he have a reason not to win? And the thieves' fighting style is relatively unified, at the beginning they used cannon fodder to attract and consume the firepower of officers and soldiers, and then went to the old camp, although the thieves can quickly grow to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, but the people in the old camp are still relatively stable, good soldiers, must be through the baptism of blood and fire, experienced the cruelty of the battlefield to exercise, not just pull a few strong men, as long as he can beat the old camp of the thieves, then everything will be easy to do.
"There's someone up ahead!" Suddenly, a soldier shouted, and everyone suddenly became nervous.
"Quick, get ready for battle!" Yang Baihu, Ai Wannian and other senior generals shouted at their soldiers.
When the hundred or so people approached, everyone relaxed their vigilance, because it was obviously a small group of officers and soldiers.
"What part are you from?" Qin Yiming shouted.
The group were all ragged, their weapons were uneven, and they were still out of breath, and they felt that there were pursuers chasing them behind. A big soldier in the lead stood up and said, "I am as fierce as a tiger in the thousands of households in Suizhou, where are you?" ”
"I'm Qin Yiming, a thousand households in De'an! This is Lord Chen, the left-behind Si of Hindu. Qin Yiming shouted, motioning for his officers and soldiers to lay down their weapons.
Fierce as a tiger stepped forward and knelt down and said: "See Lord Chen and Lord Qin, our thousand households surrendered with the guards of the thousand households, and we didn't want to surrender, so we ran out, they are chasing us behind, and our team of hundreds of people is now only so many people!" Fierce as a tiger said, with a look of frustration and resentment.
"How many people are chasing you?" Qin Yiming asked.
Fierce as a tiger replied: "About five hundred cavalry! If you set up an ambush here, you will surely be able to catch them all. ”
This is indeed a good ambush location, this fierce tiger is being chased and killed, and he actually has the desire to fight, and at a glance he has taken a fancy to the place where he has been thinking about it for a long time, Qin Yiming appreciates it very much, and feels that he is as fierce as a tiger and quite talented.
A team of more than 500 rogue cavalry was galloping, and when they ran near the Shitong River, they stopped here without seeing anyone as fierce as a tiger.
"His grandmother's, Liu Qianhu, I said that the people of your guard house can't fight, but it's really faster than a rabbit to escape, just like that, you can't see anyone?" One of the leaders looked at the hill in front of him and said to the people next to him.
"General Zhang, they definitely didn't run far, we continue to chase forward, we will definitely be able to catch up, maybe they will hide on the hill in front of us!" Liu Da next to him replied.
General Zhang looked at Xiaoshanbao, then at the other side of the Shitong River, and said, "We are all on horseback, won't they swim across the river so that we can't continue to pursue?" ”
If the fierce tiger crossed the river, then their cavalry would not be able to continue the pursuit, but if the fierce tiger was just hiding in the mountains, then if they continued to pursue, the fierce tiger would only have to wait for death.
Liu Qianhu said with a smile at this time: "Hehe, General Zhang doesn't know, this Mengbaihu is cunning, and it seems safe to cross the Shitong River, but this Mengbaihu will definitely not choose this road, and Mengbaihu is a landlubber, he can't swim!" ”
General Zhang looked at the thousands of officers and soldiers in front of him, and his heart was full of disdain, but he was still convinced of his words, after all, he was more familiar with his own soldiers.
At this time, General Zhang suddenly saw a figure on the hill, and Liu Qianhu next to him suddenly shouted: "General, it's them, it's them, let's chase!" ”
"Okay, chase them all for me and kill them all!" The leader of the thieves commanded, and at the same time rode out, and the cavalry behind him followed.
When their group rushed to the small hillside, suddenly there were pikemen and some bird-fired soldiers around, and at this time General Zhang shouted: "There are ambushes, don't stop, hurry, let's rush to the top of the mountain." ”
General Zhang led a group of people to kill desperately on the mountain, this tree forest, is not conducive to cavalry combat, they have few people, they are very disadvantaged in the battle here, they must rush out, otherwise the whole army may be annihilated.
At the same time, the woods are not conducive to infantry ambushes, because the infantry cannot be assembled in a tight formation in the woods, and without a tight formation, the infantry cannot block the onslaught of the cavalry, and those firearms are not of much use here.
The cavalry of the thieves quickly rushed out of the encirclement of the pikemen, the cavalry wanted to escape, the infantry really couldn't catch up, seeing that gang of thieves rushed through their own defense, but the spearmen of the guard couldn't stop it at all, this mountain forest, it was not good for the cavalry, and it was not very beneficial to the infantry.
"Hey, it's a pity, it seems that it's too difficult to ambush them!" As fierce as a tiger, he looked at the rogue cavalry who ran to the top of the mountain, and was very emotional.
Qin Yiming saw that group of rogue cavalry, and quickly rushed out of the encirclement with the speed of impact, he had no intention of fighting at all, and he was also blamed for despising these rogue thieves too much, and he was indeed not experienced enough.
"The spear battalion, the fire battalion, are all at the foot of the mountain, and we are waiting for them to come down and charge!" Qin Yiming ordered.
Chen Daquan was next to Qin Yiming, he was also looking at the situation on the battlefield, Qin Yiming's military order made him very puzzled, he asked suspiciously: "Qin Yishi, this thief will be so stupid, you have set up the team, and he threw himself into the net?" ”
Qin Yiming laughed, suddenly turned to ask Meng Ruhu, and said, "Meng Baihu, if you are the leader of that gang of thieves, will you lead the troops to rush down?" ”
Meng Ruhu nodded firmly at this time, and said: "Lord Chen, this group of people is obviously experienced, they found that there was an ambush, they didn't love war at all, and seized the top of the mountain, their commander must be a person who is very good at fighting, because of this, Xia Guan feels that they will, because it is cavalry!" ”
