Text 217.The Battle of Yunnan (14)
As soon as Lan Yu heard this, he came to his senses, and said confidently: "I learned from a few people who surrendered that there is a beachhead downstream with shallow water, and you can walk directly on foot without boats, and the main guests of our army continue to build ships on a large scale here, pretending to attack from the front, and then secretly send a surprise army to quietly cross the river from the downstream at night, detour behind the enemy, and suddenly launch an attack on the enemy when our army crosses the river tomorrow, and then our army will be able to win a complete victory by attacking from both sides." ”
After listening to Lan Yu's strategy, Fu Youde's eyes lit up: "Can you walk downstream?" Are you sure? ”
Lan Yu nodded confidently: "Last night I interrogated the prisoners overnight, and learned about it from the mouths of several prisoners, there is a short shoal downstream, only two feet deep in the dry season, but because it is very narrow, the two cannot pass side by side, this situation is only known to the local soldiers, but the local soldiers are all Yelu Liang's subordinates, this time Darima in order to eliminate dissidents, Yelu Liang and his men are sent to the north bank, and now the soldiers who stay on the south bank probably do not know about it." ”
The more Fu Youde listened, the happier he became, and hurriedly ordered: "Come on, send a few people with the captives to investigate, see if this matter is true, and report to me as soon as the investigation is over." ”
As soon as Fu Youde finished giving the order, Lan Yu said with a smile: "I have already sent someone to verify, if nothing else, the person who verifies will be able to come back before nightfall." Speaking of this, Lan Yu's face changed slightly, and at the same time, he didn't forget to glance at Yao Guangqi, and deliberately said, "What does Yao Zhenfu think of this plan?" ”
In fact, Yao Guangqi also learned about this shoal from the mouths of other captives, and it was this plan that he discussed with Zhang Yu, but he had already decided not to compete with Lan Yu for merit, so as not to cause trouble again, so he pretended to appreciate it and said: "General Lan's plan is very good, and it is really a clever plan to strike first, and the last general thinks that this plan is feasible." ”
When Lan Yu heard Yao Guangqi say this, his face showed a look of pride, and he took the initiative to ask for his life: "General, I am willing to lead a strange army to cross the river from the shallows downstream and outflank the enemy's flank. ”
Fu Youde was happy to send Lan Yu this favor, and simply said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then whoever has the plan to do it, give you 3,000 elite soldiers, cross the river tonight, and deploy in place before noon tomorrow, my side will start to cross the river at the end of the day, and the first batch of soldiers will cross the river at two o'clock at noon to start a formation, so you must launch a sneak attack at two o'clock at noon, and if you can't launch an attack as agreed, don't blame my ruthless military law." ”
Lan Yu didn't mention it.
In the evening, Lan Yu led 3,000 men and horses, led by those few inspection soldiers, and went straight to the shoals downstream. How to cross the river Lan Yu has long been planned, as early as the day, Lan Yu has already selected a bold and careful low-level officer, named Wei Busan, not only has excellent water quality, but also is clever, and he will cross the river first to fight for the front station of the whole army.
When they arrived at the shore of the shoal, the soldiers quickly began to prepare, they tied a hemp rope thicker than an arm around Wei Busan's waist, Wei Busan waded forward, and someone behind him held the rope for him. Immediately, Lan Yu explained again, and told Wei Busan that after crossing the river, he must choose a strong place to tie the hemp rope firmly, so that all the soldiers of the army can quickly cross the river along the hemp rope.
According to the prior agreement, if you drag three times in a row, that is, the person has reached the opposite bank, if you drag four times in a row, that is, the rope has been tied, and the soldiers behind can cross the river along the rope, if it is dragged five times, it means that Wei Busan is in danger, and the soldiers on the shore will pull back
rope and be prepared to respond.
Things went smoothly, and less than half an hour after Wei Busan went into the water, the soldiers guarding the rope received feedback, and the rope was pulled three times in a row. Lan Yu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: all cross the river.
In order to cross the river conveniently, this time Lan Yu led all the light infantry, and Lan Yu himself is also lightly armed, in terms of leading by example, Lan Yu has always done a good job. Lan Yu took off his pants and wrapped them around his waist, tugged on the rope, and then helped him to start crossing the river. Lan Yu's exemplary role dispelled the doubts of the Ming soldiers, and they all followed Lan Yu across the river.
Although it can be walked on foot, the water level is still very high, the river is almost close to the chest, most of the body has to soak in the river water, the water is very cold and cold, even a little biting, it was fine when I first entered the water, but halfway through, Lan Yu already felt chills all over his body, and even had a headache and confusion, Lan Yu knew that he was stirred by the river, and the more he could not stop at this time, so Lan Yu gritted his teeth and said to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, hold on, just go ashore." At the same time, he kept his feet and walked towards the opposite shore with all his might.
Finally walked ashore, followed by a few soldiers who collapsed to the ground tiredly, Lan Yu was also weak, but he still fought his spirit, and said to the soldiers who went ashore: "Don't stop, stand up, run a few steps, if you can't do it, just go, keep moving." ”
But as soon as Lan Yu finished speaking, he heard several sharp voices getting closer and closer, and Lan Yu secretly screamed badly and shouted: "There is an ambush." As he shouted, he had already crouched down and picked up the weapon on the ground.
The arrows are shot from the opposite side, listen to the sound, the arrows are not dense, not like a large group of people and horses ambushing, and it may even be a night patrol team, before the rear team of people and horses complete the assembly, you must buy time for your rear team, yes, you can't stay here, otherwise the people behind will have no space to go ashore! In the blink of an eye, Lan Yu quickly made a decision and rushed.
"Brothers, there are few of them, rush with me!" While Lan Yu shouted loudly, he rushed forward.
In fact, at this time, there were not many people on the shore of the Ming army, and Lan Yu would also rush up to hundreds of people before he knew the real enemy, but at the critical moment, Lan Yu showed the demeanor of a general, raised his eyebrows and sharp knives, and took the lead in rushing forward without hesitation.
Lan Yu's judgment was correct, the Yuan army guarding the river bank in this area was less than 2,000 people, because Darima didn't know that it was possible to cross the river on foot here, so it was only symbolically sent a small number of men and horses to be responsible for guarding in this area, and at this moment, it was indeed a night patrol sentinel who fired arrows at the Ming army.
This night patrol team had already reached the time for the changing of the guard, but a few soldiers delayed the time because of peeing, it was these peeing soldiers who heard an unusual sound by the river, but the night was dark and the wind roared gloomy, and a few soldiers did not dare to come forward to check, so they had to run back to report to their superiors, and the commander did not dare to lead people forward, but ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows indiscriminately in the direction of the river, shooting at Lan Yu and the others The batch of arrows came here.
During the war on Goryeo Street in the fifties of the last century, Eagle Sauce was afraid of my rabbit's sneak attack at night, so once Eagle Sauce who was on guard at night found that the wind was blowing, he would fire guns indiscriminately in the grass and in the night.
In fact, this group of Mongol soldiers who patrol the night is the same, shooting an arrow is nothing more than a strong courage, if there is no reaction
, then explain to yourself that you heard it wrong, and you can rest assured that you can return to the camp boldly. However, the most ideal result they expected did not appear, and after an arrow, what was returned in the dark night was not silence and silence, but the passionate and high-pitched shouts of killing and the bright blades in the hands of the Ming army.
In the face of the charge of the Ming army, the Mongolian soldiers who patrolled the night were all frightened, staring at the darkness tremblingly, seeing that the Ming army rushed to the front, only a few Yuan soldiers reacted, raised their weapons and prepared to resist, but it was too late, Lan Yu, who rushed to the front, raised his eyebrows and raised his knife, and a knife penetrated a Mongolian soldier in front of him, and at the same time slammed upward, and picked up the Yuan army soldier, the Mongolian soldier was especially angry, holding the knife with both hands, and struggling with his legs to break free, in the eyes of the Yuan soldiers on the side, This face is really terrifying, the people around are frightened and retreat, the morale of the Ming army behind is soaring, the courage is abnormally rushed up, a company put down more than a dozen Yuan soldiers, these Yuan troops were originally Han people, unwilling to die for the Mongols, seeing that the Ming army is so fierce, most of the remaining Yuan army hugged their heads and ran around, and some of them were frightened to throw away their weapons, kneeling on the ground and shouting "Don't kill me." ”
The shouting and killing sound by the river reached the large camp not far away, and the thousand households responsible for the garrison in this area were called Lu Kuchi, Lu Kuchi did not dare to slack off, and quickly led the men and horses out of the camp, and just out of the camp gate, he ran into the rout soldiers who fled back, pointed to the riverside and said tremblingly: "Over there, there are Ming troops over there, and they swam along the river." ”
"Swim here? How many people are there? Lukuchi almost dropped his jaw.
"Many, many, hundreds, hundreds, thousands." These deserters were already frightened, and they tried their best to exaggerate the number of Ming troops to prove that they did not flee because they were cowardly.
Hearing that there were so many people, Lu Kuchi was even more afraid, he only had a thousand people in his hands, so many Ming troops, how could he be an opponent, should he withdraw first? I'm afraid it's bad luck to stay here. Fortunately, Lu Kuchi's brain was not completely out of order, and he pointed to the soldiers on the side and said, "You, go and tell Lord Darima and ask him to send reinforcements quickly." It is said that there are more than 20,000 people in the Ming army brigade here. ”
Then he ordered: "You, lead 800 men, meet the battle from the front, don't charge blindly, fight steadily." Hold back the main force of the Ming army, I led 500 people to sneak attack the Ming army from the west, we are flanked on both sides, there are definitely not many people who swim up from them, let's fight first. ”
In fact, where did Lu Kuchi lead his troops to sneak attack from the side, his small calculation was that the flank sneak attack became the best, and if the sneak attack failed, he would flee in the direction of the main force of Darima upstream.
No one knew about Lu Kuchi's small calculations, and his subordinates firmly carried out his orders, and eight hundred unknown Yuan soldiers set up a formation and pressed in the direction of the blue jade.
At this time, thousands of Ming troops have crossed the river, and there are Ming soldiers who are landing on the shore, Lan Yu saw that although the Yuan army killed the horse pistol, it was obvious that there were not many troops, and Lan Yu, who had already gained a firm foothold, also had some confidence in his heart, and ordered the whole army to line up, and he personally led the men and horses to meet it.
Night fighting, the two sides were trapped in poor sight, so as soon as they came up, it became a scorching melee battle, although the 800 Yuan army was neatly arrayed, but the morale and fighting spirit were obviously inferior to the Ming army, and the Ming army was superior in numbers, so the formation was disrupted by the Ming army as soon as it came up, and the momentum was completely suppressed by the Ming army.
