Chapter 204: Inside and Outside
One man after another came out of the tent and stood silently beside Yu Feng, the snow reflected their figures, and the blood stains on their faces were so dazzling under the snow light.
"Let's get started!" Wang Yin secretly sighed and commanded in a low voice. Everyone walked to the side of the truck without saying a word, took off the goods on it and put it aside, and then took out one by one firearms from the bottom, fire oil bombs, flying dragons, divine fire crows, and various firearms manufactured by the Ordnance Department pulled as many as two carts.
"Hey, what are you doing?" A herdsman who heard the movement lifted his tent in a daze, and shouted outside, he wondered why these caravan men were in a hurry to unload the goods before it dawned.
He replied with a sharp crossbow stuck in his throat, and he rolled over and fell without saying a word.
"Quick, speed up, attack the Khalkha head yurt first!" Wang Yin hurriedly commanded.
Ma Chuang picked up a fire oil bomb without saying a word, lit it and threw it vigorously on the thick curtain of the big yurt, the pottery jar shattered, and the fire oil in it splashed in all directions, and the flames burned all at once, and in a short moment they burned into a piece.
More than 50 people in groups of three quickly dispersed and launched an attack on the nearby yurts, and the fire oil bombs were worthy of being a sharp weapon for arson, and more than a dozen yurts fell into the sea of fire in a short period of time.
"It's on fire!"
"Enemy attack!"
The yurts are burning, and the heat has caused many herders to wake up from their dreams and find themselves in a sea of fire. The yurt is made of wood on the inside and covered with a thick wool felt, all of which are flammable, and although the top is covered with a thick layer of snow, it is still burning violently. The wool felt thing ignited, emitting thick black smoke and an unpleasant foul smell, many herdsmen and women were smoked by this smell before they could escape, and the violent burning emptied the air of the yurt, and many herdsmen died of suffocation.
The large yurt in which the Khalkha chiefs were located was so large that it would take some time to burn, and several Mongolian men used their knives to cut through the thick woollen felt, avoiding the burning exit and escaping from one side, but rockets like locusts awaited them. The Flying Dragon, a body loaded with 120 arrows, propelled by gunpowder, ignited and the arrows danced wildly, like locusts covering the earth. These herdsmen had just woken up from their sleep, and they had no time to wear armor and leather armor, each wearing thin underwear, and they had no resistance to the locust-like rockets.
With the screams, one herdsman after another fell in a pool of blood, and the Khalkha leader stared at the gray sky with dim eyes, and he did not understand to death why these guests, who had been hospitably entertained by him yesterday, now raised their butcher knives to him.
The entire Khalkha tribe occupies a large area, and there are hundreds of yurts, and it is impossible for Wang Yin's fifty soldiers to set fire to all of them. Seeing that more than a dozen yurts in the vicinity were on fire, Wang Yin decisively ordered the whole team to gather and gather together, all the flying dragons were placed in front, two people and one body, and they launched wherever they saw that there were Mongolians gathered.
At this moment, all the Mongols had woken up from their dreams, and the men rushed out of the yurt with their knives, and the snow outside was too thick for horseback riding, so the herdsmen gathered together, wielded their swords and bows, and tried to attack the incoming enemy, but before they could gather, what awaited them was rockets like flying locusts.
The sound of fighting, the crackling of gunpowder shells, the crackling of burning flames, the cries of herdsmen, women and children, the whole camp was in chaos. It was the darkest hour before dawn, and despite the reflection of snow, it was still impossible to figure out where the incoming enemy was. In addition, the leaders of the leaders were killed by rockets, and they couldn't wait for the horn of the commander to gather troops, and many herdsmen didn't know what to do, so they just subconsciously ran towards the burning tent.
"Mr. Yokoyama, they've got it!" Seeing the first firelight ignited, the soldiers of the Xishan Army, who had already sneaked three miles away from the camp at night, were all in high spirits. In order not to be discovered by the enemy, they did not dare to advance further three miles away from the camp, but waited in the snow for Wang Yin's signal to attack. It was extremely cold in the snow at dawn, and although they were wearing thick cotton clothes and drinking strong liquor to keep out the cold in their mouths, many people couldn't help but shiver, and now that the fight had finally started, there was no need to wait for the cold, and all the soldiers were cheered up.
"Rush in!" Chen Yue gave an order and took the lead in rushing towards the Mongol camp. Fighting in the snow, the war horse chariot has become a burden. The soldiers who left a general flag to guard the horses, and all of them turned into infantry, and ran towards the camp in the usual training formation.
The distance of three miles will soon be there, and the camp is already in chaos at this moment.
"Take the general flag as a unit, kill it from everywhere, kill people when you see them, don't leave them alive, pay attention, our people have red scarves on their heads, don't kill your own people by mistake!" Chen Yue commanded. All the soldiers rushed in from the gaps in the yurts in various places, taking the general flag as a unit. A total banner of eighty people, facing the Mongol herdsmen, who were already in disarray, was enough to destroy all resistance encountered.
The Ming soldiers entered from the periphery, and when they encountered the yurt, they couldn't help but say that first there was a burst of fire and crossbow attacks, and the projectiles and crossbow arrows shot the wool felt covered like a hornet's nest, and then the soldiers armed with spears, knives and shields killed the generals, and all the Mongols inside. Just like this, the yurts are cleaned up in order to purge all possible enemies.
Chen Yue quickly rushed in along the main road with three hundred personal guards, he wanted to pick up Wang Yin and the others inside, and then defeat the enemy troops who were still able to assemble. According to the intelligence, this tribe has only more than 2,000 people, and there are at most four or five hundred warriors who can fight, and this includes all the men who can lift a knife, and in the face of such an opponent, three hundred elite soldiers are enough to destroy all resistance.
The resistance encountered in my imagination was very small, and all I encountered along the way were only a few Mongols with swords rushing in, and there were many herdsmen hiding in the shadows to cast hidden arrows, but the thick jackets worn by the guards, and the thick armor draped on the outside of the jackets, as long as they were not shot in the face, were enough to resist all cold arrow sneak attacks. The guards raised their firearms and fired back in the direction of the sneak attack, but they didn't stop at all, and rushed straight towards the center of the camp.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Suddenly there was a chant in front of me, and through the dawn of dawn, I could see the bright red scarf on the head. It was Wang Yin and them, and Chen Yue's heart finally fell.
