After leaving the pass, Yu Dayou was not in a hurry to march, and rearranged the troops outside the pass, with the bowmen and crossbowmen in the front, and the rest of the swords and spearmen covered on both wings, and the formation was lined up before slowly advancing forward.

Hu Zongxian and Xia Zheng were in the middle army, and they couldn't help but sigh when they looked at the formation: "Is this called the army!" If a soldier instigates one, he will instigate a nest! It seems that it is not just a matter of soldiers! ”

Xia Zheng said: "This is also related to Zhang Jing's deployment before, and the most capable brave generals have been transferred here." Mr. Yu has experienced a hundred battles, and with him, this victory is a great one. ”

"We suffered losses before, so it's better to be careful this time. No matter how powerful General Yu was, he was also ordered to be in danger, and he did not run in with the Zhejiang army, so he didn't know what would happen if he really fought. ”

In the blink of an eye, the army marched to the forest road, Yu Dayou ordered the march to be suspended, and sent two small teams of men and horses into the forest to explore the outpost, and must not be killed by the same ambush for the second time.

After a short time, the two pairs of men and horses returned safely, and they did see the ambushed Japanese robbers, and when they saw the outpost retreating far away, the sentry did not dare to chase after them.

Yu Dayou frowned, rode his horse and galloped to the Chinese army, his face was heavy: "Governor Hu, the Japanese have already prepared, and there is an ambush, once they enter the forest, they will be more than lucky." ”

Hu Zongxian pondered for a moment: "Four thousand people are in a good position, they are solid, are you really afraid of those hundreds of widows?" ”

"The Japanese are cunning and never exhausted, and they are divided into multiple teams to fight together. If you come to the nest, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist it. ”

"Then how did you win seven battles and seven victories before?"

"Waiting for work with ease and leading the gentleman into the urn is also the strategy that Zhang Jing arranged before." Yu Dayou couldn't help but sigh again, "The Japanese are good at guerrillas, so we will wait for them to attack." The Japanese are good at knives. We'll take our hands. Take your own strengths. The fight is short. Long-lasting consumption, the Japanese people are unable to replenish, and they are homesick, so they will naturally retreat. If you blindly pursue, the deeper you chase, the greater the danger. ”

Hu Zongxian was puzzled and turned to look at Xia Zheng.

Xia Zheng pondered for a moment and said: "This pursuit, destroying the enemy is a small matter. Zhenshi is a big thing, and if he doesn't try to annihilate all the Japanese invaders, it is ten or eight, which can be regarded as a victory. ”

Indeed, what is needed is to return to the dynasty victoriously and share the merits.

Yu Dayou frowned, how could the four thousand army win with the mentality of killing ten or eight enemies to go back?

Hu Zongxian weighed it again and again, and finally ordered: "Zhao Yushi has an order, and he swears to chase and defeat Kou to the death." Mr. Yu was suspicious and fearful. It also makes sense, I don't think it's as good as a steady march for five miles. If you see a wolf, kill and capture it. If there are no robbers, the thieves will have fled when they hear the news, and our army will not have to chase after them. ”

Hu Zongxian gave a neutral solution, chase a little, don't go too deep, our army has come out, so if you want to "scare away" the Japanese invaders, it can be regarded as a victory.

Yu Dayou had no choice but to take the order, and returned to the horse to persuade: "Governor Hu, the sword and gun have no eyes, just wait here, don't enter the forest again." ”

Xia Zheng also nodded at Hu Zongxian, the last time he entered the forest, he thought that the Japanese were completely defeated, and there was no danger or danger, who knew that the Japanese were so strong, in this case, the governor of a province really should not enter the complex terrain.

Hu Zongxian said in this regard: "Ru Zhen is here to wait for the general's triumph!" ”

Yu Dayou didn't speak, only nodded and returned to the front of the Chinese army, ordering a steady march and beware of movements in the forest left and right.

The army marched forward with a stick of incense, but only two miles, and saw several figures emerging dozens of feet away, waving their blades and jumping and jumping at the same time, shouting in an incomprehensible language.

The commander of the army was furious when he saw this, and ordered the gun to shoot with medicine.

More than 100 gunners hurriedly took out the arquebus gunpowder and began to prepare.

Seeing that the Ming army was about to shoot, the three or five Japanese people were even more arrogant, and one of them took off his pants and pouted his ass to face the Ming army and waited to be beaten.

Yu Dayou ordered: "Just prepare, don't ignite the fire." ”

The commander angrily pointed to the Japanese in the distance: "General Yu, I know that you are afraid of an ambush, let's open a bombardment!" ”

"This general, do you know how long the interval is between the two guns?"

"Dozens of breaths."

Yu Dayou nodded at the bare-bottomed wolf in front of him: "These dozens of breaths are enough for the front of the wolf to rush over." The Japanese are cunning, they always provoke us to open the gun first, and when we are fooled and fired, and then fill the medicine and put the gun, dozens or hundreds of Japanese people rush over. Once our guns get into hand-to-hand combat, they have no chance of winning. ”

"So what?"

"the guns, push them up step by step." Yu Dayou waved his arm and ordered, "Follow me, as slow as I go, you can go as slow as you go, and aim your mouth at that ass." ”

Yu Dayou is calm and steady, and the army is following such a general, and he finally has some confidence in his heart, at least he will not be directly beaten like last time.

Seeing that the Ming army did not shoot, but only advanced at a very slow speed, they could not dedicate chrysanthemums to the artillery forever, so they had to gradually retreat, and as far as the Ming army advanced, they retreated as far as they wanted, and always maintained the extreme distance of being in the bird.

One advance and one retreat, a cup of tea, the Ming army marched dozens of zhang.

Yu Dayou once again ordered to stop the march, and then sent two teams of sentries into the forest left and right.

This time, the sentry came back faster, and hurriedly came to report, there were many widows in the forest, but this group did not retreat in the face of the sentry, but provoked, and the sentry naturally did not dare to go deeper, so he had to repay.

Yu Dayou frowned, summoned the commander, and said two words: "Withdraw." ”

"That's it?"

"It's better not to take a step further." Yu Dayou drew a line on the ground with a spear, "A hundred feet further, we will be cut off from the back road." ”

"Retreat without a fight? Why bother! The commander pointed to the woods, "We can take the path and break through the forest." ”

"In the forest, we are no match for the Wakos. Taking a step back, they are the best at avoiding the enemy's edge, and they will retreat in whichever direction the main force is chasing, and at the same time they will scatter and surround them, and once they feel that it is appropriate, they will attack. ”

"Is it really as evil as you say?" The commander really didn't want to believe that the Japanese were so disciplined.

"I haven't been so powerful before, but recently, I'm afraid that the talent of the commander of the Japanese is not below you and me."

The commander is not a reckless man, he knows very well that Yu Dayou has been dealing with the Japanese for a long time, and now that it has been confirmed that there is an ambush in the forest, and the hasty march is really the result of being surrounded.

But the army has already come, not to mention walking five miles, not to mention walking three miles, wouldn't it be a joke to go back like this?

Yu Dayou saw the unwillingness of the commander, and said with a sigh: "I see this, don't move the army, I stepped forward to slash those thieves, and carried the corpses back to the army, which can be regarded as a victory." ”

"Mr. Yu alone?"

"I naturally have confidence." (To be continued.) )
