Chapter 1017 Moonlit Night March

After making a battle plan, Wang Deren returned to the camp and found scouts to explore the trail, as well as a mountain man who walked the trail, to guide the army.

That night, Li Dingguo selected 3,000 soldiers who were good at fighting in the mountains and forests and were good at climbing, and one of them carried more than ten days' dry food on his back, and under the leadership of guides and scouts, under the cover of night, he left the camp, chose the nearest of several trails, and entered the mountains.

At this time, the Jin army must be carrying supplies day and night, and every day late, the Jin army can transport one more material, and the Ming army will lose one more, so Li Dingguo can only choose the nearest one.

The Ming army in Sichuan, most of them were good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and 3,000 people entered the mountains and forests, and soon disappeared into the night, but after walking for a while, Li Dingguo found that the road was too difficult to walk, although there was moonlight, but it was still too dangerous, so he could only let the soldiers rest first, and then go over the mountains and mountains during the day.

After Li Dingguo left, the Ming army prepared as usual, although Wang Deren said that it was difficult to break through the frontal attack, but Ma Jinzhong did not give up, he always looked down on Wang Deren a little in his heart, and felt that you can't do it, maybe my old horse can't do it, so he insisted on letting the soldiers make a big machine and decided to attack again.

After three days of preparation, more than 3,000 Ming troops, hiding in the cave house, pushing shield carts, carrying shields, advanced into the valley, the Jin army on both sides of the mountain, made a round ball with bamboo, filled with firewood and grass, poured fire oil, lit and pushed down from the top of the mountain.

Nearly a hundred fireballs, burning and rolling down the hillside, rushed into the valley, immediately cutting off the Ming army, and then the arrows and rolling wood thunder stones fell like raindrops from both sides, and the Ming army was immediately disrupted in formation, and wails were all over the valley.

The Ming army paid a lot of casualties before rushing to the wall, which was full of horses and spikes, but by this time, after the previous blows, the Ming army had been weakened.

The canyon is very narrow, and only so many troops can be invested at one time, and once the attacking men and horses are weak, it means that it is impossible to break through.

Ma Jinzhong has been in battle for a long time, although his face is a little unbearable, but he still immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops.

The Ming army left more than 400 corpses and hurriedly withdrew from the valley, and Ma Jinzhong's attack failed, so he never mentioned the matter of the strong attack again, and patiently waited for Li Dingguo to outflank Guangyuan.

For a time, tens of thousands of Ming troops were stationed outside the valley, and the Jin army was stationed in the valley, forming a confrontational situation.

Ten days later, in the evening, in the camp where the Jin army was gathering supplies near Guangyuan City, the lights were bright, and a few miles away on the side of the mountain road, Li Dingguo was standing on the top of a mountain, looking at the Jin army's camp.

In the night, Li Dingguo's eyes seemed to reflect the firelight in the golden camp, and his black pupils were shining.

At this time, behind him, a long black dragon was slowly moving eastward, and they had already moved from the trail to the relatively gentle area near Guangyuan.

"General, there is a pier in front, but the brothers touched it, and they didn't find that there were golden soldiers guarding it!" A scout suddenly appeared and reported to Li Dingguo.

When Yu Youming heard this, he was surprised: "Even if there is a pier, why are there no soldiers and horses?" Saying that, he looked at Li Dingguo and wondered: "General, Jin Bing won't have retreated into Hanzhong!" ”

Li Dingguo didn't say anything and replied immediately, he felt that when he came out of the mountains and forests, he would inevitably encounter the scouts of the Jin army, and Hu Guozhu was also Wu Sangui's right-hand man, and he still had some reputation, so it was impossible not to take precautions.

Although Hu Guozhu's troops are limited, this does not require many people, as long as there are more than ten patrol posts, police training is exposed, and he has the opportunity to send troops to block the attack.

But when he went out of the mountains and forests, there were no people on duty at night in the pier, so he entered Guangyuan so smoothly, Li Dingguo was very unsure. How can Hu Guozhu also be a general of the Jin State, he will not be so careless. The big camp is still lit with torches, and the Jin army has obviously not evacuated yet, does Hu Guozhu really think that the Ming army will only rigidly attack Hump Mountain?

"Keep exploring!" Li Dingguo instructed the scout, and then said to Youming: "Since you have come, it is impossible to go back!" Hu Guozhu only has 10,000 people, and he has to guard against the Hump Mountain, he wants to divide his troops to eat us, and there is no such possibility! ”

The three thousand elite soldiers brought by Li Dingguo were much more elite than the ordinary Jin army, and he was worried that the Jin army would block him on the way over, but as long as he came out of the mountain and forest paths, he had the courage to break through.

"Let's go! Go ahead! Saying that, Li Dingguo waved his hand, "They have all gone out of the mountain, and when it comes to the last step, there can be no mistakes!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Dingguo led Yu Youming forward, and after a short time, he reached the front of the team, but found that the advancing team had stopped.

"What's going on?"

Li Dingguo asked, the soldiers didn't understand the situation, and the people in front stopped, so they stopped. Seeing this, Li Dingguo walked straight forward and found Wang Fuchen, who was rushing forward.

The reason why he was asked to act as a striker was because he had the experience of drilling mountains before, Li Dingguo came over, Wang Fuchen saw it, looked ahead, and explained: "General, two hills and one valley!" ”

Li Dingguo looked forward, and sure enough, not far away, two raised black shadows, like a woman's ****, blocked the way out of the army, and if the army wanted to pass, it could only take the ditch in the middle.

"Did the scouts notice anything out of the ordinary?" Li Dingguo frowned and asked.

"Not yet, but this terrain is the best place to set up ambushes. This black light is blinding, in case of an ambush, I am afraid it will cause chaos and huge losses! Wang Fuchen said worriedly.

There was no turning back from the bow, the army only brought more than ten days of food, and now everyone still has two cakes left, and it is definitely not possible to go back, only to rush forward without hesitation.

In the dark, Li Dingguo's expression could not be seen, and after a long while, he said in a deep voice: "Throw stones and ask for directions, Wang Fuchen, you take a thousand people over first, if you are attacked, don't panic, I will immediately send a signal, while letting Ma Dudu and Wang Du Town attack Hump Mountain, and catch up with you!" The Jin army only has 10,000, and it is impossible for them to ambush and defend Hump Mountain! Do you understand? ”

"The last general understands!" Wang Fuchen immediately solemnly clenched his fists.

Zhongyi Town are all veterans who have been in the army for many years, and the officers are also old seniority, and Wu Sangui has lost eighty percent of the elite soldiers after the defeat of Wanxian, although most of the officers are old people from Guanning, but the quality of the soldiers is still a little worse than that of Zhongyi Town, Li Dingguo is confident that 3,000 people will beat Hu Guozhu 5,000 people.

At this time, Wang Fuchen was ordered to leave, and Li Dingguo added: "Don't worry, you listen to me, if you pass safely, you will stop at the exit, wait for me to come, and then kill Ben Guangyuan together." ”

Wang Fuchen received the order again, and then ordered a thousand men and horses to break away from the brigade, and quietly moved forward, the team was orderly, and there was no sound, only the rustling footsteps and the slight sound of the armor on his body.
