"Are you sure?" Han Wantao was a little worried, "That's all the elite of the Eight Banners." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"It shouldn't be a problem." Xu Lang touched his body, but not a single cigarette was gone, "As long as we are fully prepared and trick the Eight Banners into the encirclement." Wan Tao, if you don't give them a head-on blow, let them chase us like this in the back, then the initiative is in the hands of others. ”

"Alright, let's smoke mine first." Han Wantao took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Lang, "Anyway, let's knock down the castle in front of us first, let's discuss it carefully, what you said is indeed very reasonable, we can't let them chase us like this." ”

There weren't many Eight Banners soldiers in the small castle in front of them, and there were less than 200 soldiers in the army and civilians. Zeng Guangxian commanded the new regiment and easily took it.

Han Wantao, Zeng Guangxian and several others ascended to the top of the city, and Xu Lang's blocking plan was approved by the mixed brigade principle. But how to lure the enemy deep has become a problem, because this castle is too small, and it is impossible to trick more than 3,000 Eight Banner cavalry in.

"This terrain is so good for blocking that we don't need this castle at all." Zhou Lei pointed to the mountain in the distance and said, "You see, there are typical two mountains and a ditch over there, and the Eight Banners will definitely come from there." As long as we have a wall on both sides, none of them can escape. ”

"Why are you so sure that the Eight Banners will come from there?" Zeng Guangxian asked.

"Zhou Lei is right, they will definitely come over there." Xu Lang explained, "Because that's where we came from. The Eight Banners will definitely follow our traces, and besides, this is their territory, they won't think about it that much. ”

"The key is how we block them." Zhang Hai asked another question, "Generally, we rely on a large number of people to fight blocking wars and ambush wars, but we only have less than 2,000 people, and they may be more than 3,000." If you can't block it, you won't be able to steal chickens and rice. ”

Everyone didn't speak, what Zhang Hai said was indeed a problem, what if it couldn't be blocked.

Xu Lang suddenly asked: "You have all read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", how did Zhuge Liang burn the upper valley?" ”

"You want to attack with fire?" The crowd asked.

"Not bad." Xu Lang said, "We still have a little fire oil canister now, scatter these fire oil canisters into the valley, and when the Eight Banners enter the valley, push down stones from behind to block the valley and set fire to them." ”

"But it's early autumn." Zeng Guangxian asked, "Although there are still fallen leaves accumulated in the valley, it rained a few days ago, and it is very difficult to burn. ”

"I know it's hard to burn." Xu Lang replied, "It's impossible to burn them, I think the reason for setting them on fire is to create their own chaos." We're going to use every possible means to get them to mess up with themselves first, so we can make it easier. ”

Han Wantao thought for a while and said, "It's easy to talk about blocking them inside, and it's easy to say about setting them on fire." But there is another problem, they have more than 3000 cavalry, how can you let them all in at once, they will definitely have a vanguard as well. ”

"How about finding someone to report the false news?" Zhou Lei said, "Find someone to pretend to be a soldier of the Eight Banners, go and tell them, just say that this castle is under siege, so that they will all come over." ”

"It doesn't work." Xu Lang vetoed Zhou Lei's idea, "Because none of us can speak Manchu, if we find a real Manchurian or local to report the news, we can't control it, and it's hard to say whether it will suddenly turn back." ”

"What then?" Zhou Lei ran out of ideas.

"But the method you mentioned reminds me." Xu Lang smiled, "We don't need to report false news, just report the real news." The Eight Banners Chasers will definitely send people to this castle to inquire about the news, and when the time comes, they will kill the people here, so that they will know that we have occupied this castle. ”

"If that's the case, the Eight Banners will definitely besiege the castle." Zhang Hai said, "This castle is so small, it can't store many soldiers, it will be very dangerous." ”

"There must be danger." Xu Lang patted Zhang Hai, "It's up to you Marine Company to set up all the 95 planes and 03 rifles without saving bullets." I don't believe that machine guns can't stop them. ”

"Xu Lang." Zeng Guangxian, who hadn't spoken for a long time, asked one last question, "Will you be able to guess this ambush plan Tao Min and Tao Gong?" ”

"I don't know." Xu Lang looked up at the sky that was about to get dark, and let out a long breath, "If the heavens can favor us to form a brigade, if Deng Zhaohui's spirit in the sky can bless us, I hope Tao Min can't think of it." ”

"Don't even think about it so much." Han Wantao waved his hand, "Zhang Hai, arrange the defenses in the castle and watch all the people at the same time; Guangxian and Zhou Lei immediately led people up the mountain to ambush. Tell the soldiers that they have to work hard tonight, and there is no way to do it. ”

"Yes." The people collectively stood upright.

The next day, it was dawn, and more than 3,000 Eight Banner cavalry rushed to Jiguan Mountain under the leadership of Yue Tuo.

"Enlighten the master." A soldier of the Eight Banners turned over and dismounted, "In front of you is Cockscomb Mountain, and there is a small fort of ours over there." ”

"Find someone to ask if there is any Ming army passing by. The army marched on. Yue Tuo turned around and said to Tao Min behind him, "Mr. Do you want to take a break, Mr. is very tired after a night of turbulence." ”

"Thank you, Lord Belle." Tao Min gasped on the horse, ran 100 miles in one night, and still rode a horse to run the mountain road, Tao Min really couldn't stand it.

"Sir, let's take a break. I'll go up to the front and take a look, and if I have any questions, I'll ask the gentleman. ”

Yue Tuo called a few people: "You stay here and take care of Mr., there must be no mistake." ”

"The minions obey."

Yue Tuo made arrangements and continued to lead the army in the direction of the fort.

The four cavalrymen galloped to the bottom of the fort, raised their heads and shouted: "Who is inside, we are Yue Tuobeile's people, have there been any Ming troops passing through this place?" ”

"What the are you yelling about, I don't understand." Zhang Hai led a squad of soldiers with a flintlock pistol at the head of the city.

The Eight Banners soldiers under the city were stunned, two Eight Banners soldiers turned their horses and ran, and two hurriedly took off their bows and arrows.

More than a dozen flintlock muskets were fired at the same time, and the two Eight Banners soldiers were shot and fell off their horses.

"Company commander, those two ran away." Several fighters switched to a second gun and wanted to shoot.

"Stop, stop." Zhang Hai shouted, "If they are all killed, no one will report it." ”

On the top of the mountain, Han Wantao held a telescope and stared at the two Eight Banners soldiers who were running back: "Herald, order everyone to get ready, the enemy is coming soon." ”

The two Eight Banners soldiers reined in their horses in front of Yue Tuo: "Master, the castle ahead has been occupied by the Ming army. ”

"Really?" Yue Tuo was not in a hurry at all, "I can be regarded as catching up with them." ”

"You." Yue Tuo waved his hand and called a solid mountain Ezhen over, "Immediately lead the Eight Banners warriors to surround the castle, and not let go of a Ming army." I personally went to ask sir. ”

"The minions obey." The solid mountain Ezhen turned over and got on his horse, "Warriors of the Great Khan, charge with me!" ”

More than 3,000 cavalry kicked up the billowing smoke and rushed in the direction of the castle.

Yue Tuo took his entourage back to the place where Tao Min was resting: "Mr. Shenren also." ”

Tao Min stood up and asked, "Why did Lord Belle say this?" ”

"The Ming army has been found in front." Yue Tuo replied, "They have captured a small castle and are resting. I have ordered the warriors of Dajin to go to besiege the city, and I can rest assured that the Ming army will be annihilated in one fell swoop. ”

"Really?" Tao Min said excitedly, "Lord Belle will definitely win this battle, and Lord Belle will wait for the reward of the Great Khan." ”

"Hahahaha." Yue Tuo smiled, "Sir, would you like to go with me to have a look?" ”

"Okay, I'll accompany Lord Belle to take a look and see what happened to these Ming troops."

Tao Min had just gotten on the horse but suddenly stopped: "That's not right. ”

Yue Tuo looked at Tao Min suspiciously: "What's wrong with Mr.?" ”

"We've been tricked." Tao Min shouted on his horse, "According to the speed of the Yulin Army, they should have arrived here yesterday evening at the latest, and they will never stay here for one night, waiting for us to chase after them." ”

Yue Tuo didn't understand Tao Min's words: "What does Mr. mean?" ”

Tao Min didn't give any explanation: "Lord Belle, please withdraw the army quickly, it's too late." ”

It really didn't take time. Han Wantao watched more than 3,000 Eight Banner cavalry rush into the encirclement unscrupulously, and a hanging heart finally let go.

"Order, block the mountain pass, light the fire!"

"Order, push down the rubble, seal the mountain pass." Ye Zhan, who received the order, shouted loudly.

Thousands of tons of large and small stones were pushed down from the mountains on both sides, and the mountain pass was sealed tightly in an instant.

"Light the fire, throw the torch!" Yang Tao gave an order to the new second regiment.

Hundreds of lighted torches were thrown down the mountain, and smoke billowed from the valley.

"The first battalion fired, the third battalion fired, the fourth battalion fired." Zeng Guangxian's order was also conveyed.

Hundreds of flintlock pistols fired.

The Eight Banners cavalry in the valley were in a mess, and people shouted and neighed, trampling each other.

"It's not allowed to mess around." Gushan Ezhen, who led the troops, raised his hand and cut down the two cavalrymen who were scurrying around, "Everyone listen to my orders and charge!" ”

The cavalry of the Eight Banners gradually came to their senses, and followed their solid mountain Ezhen Pegasus to rush towards Zhang Hai's castle.

Zhang Hai lay on Flight 95 and laughed secretly in his heart: "Lao Tzu is waiting for you." ”

"Fire!"

Flight 95, 15 03 rifles, and dozens of flintlock guns were fired at the same time.

Rows and rows of cavalry were knocked off their horses like crops, and the solid mountain Ezhen rushed to be the first, and was also the first to be pierced through the body by the bullets of Flight 95.

The Eight Banners, who had no generals, turned their horses and began to run back, and more than a thousand flintlock muskets on the mountains on both sides took turns to spit out vengeful projectiles.

"Master, the mountain pass is sealed." An attendant ran back from the mountain pass to report to Yue Tuo.

"It's late, it's over." Tao Min sat on his horse and looked at the valley with billowing smoke, listening to the familiar sound of Flight 95, he knew very well in his heart that all the 3,000 elites were finished.

"The sky will not be extinguished, and the sky will not be destroyed in Yulin Bay." Tao Min roared, "Both Shengyu and He Shengliang!" ”

"Sir, what shall we do?" Yue Tuo asked anxiously.

"It is up to man to do things, and heaven is to make things happen." Tao Min tried his best to pretend to be calm, "There should be such a catastrophe in my golden life, Lord Belle should not be too sad, the future will be long." ”

"That's the end of my 3,000 elites?" Yue Tuo still didn't believe what was happening in front of him, "How to explain to the Great Khan." ”

"Lord Belle, let's go back first, I'll explain to the Great Khan."

The battle in the valley lasted almost two hours. At noon, the battle was over, and none of the three thousand Eight Banners were alive.

"It's fun." Zhou Lei stood on the top of the mountain and waved his fist fiercely.

"Ye Zhan." Xu Lang called Ye Zhan over, "You take people down, gather up all the horses that can run, cut off the heads of all the generals above Niu Lu Ezhen, collect the armor and banners, and we will bring them back." ”

"What do you want those things for, cumbersome." Han Wantao looked at Ye Zhan's back and asked.

"It works." Xu Lang smiled, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

It took more than an hour to clean up the battlefield, and Ye Zhan cut a total of 18 heads, one of Gushan Ezhen, four Jiala Ezhen, and 13 Niu Lu Ezhen. More than 300 war horses that were barely able to run were collected without being killed, and a bunch of various armor banners were also collected. Xu Lang felt that there were a little few heads, so he asked Ye Zhan to cut more than 300 of them, and one was tied under the neck of a horse. Xu Lang's explanation to Han Wantao and others is to rely on these heads to ward off evil spirits.

Han Wantao secretly scolded Xu Lang in his heart: "You are recruiting evil spirits, not warding off evil spirits." ”
