Chapter 6: Operation Decapitation
During the day, the advance was very fast, and in the afternoon, the tanma in front had already fought with Dong Wenbing's tanma.
Cheng Yue was rewarded by the horse, and when he was only more than 30 miles away from Dong Wenbing's camp, he ordered to set up camp. Dong Wenbing's exploration of the horse comes again, don't pay attention to it.
Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but wonder: "Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, why not order someone to rush into the city and tell the reinforcements that they have arrived?" ”
Cheng Yue shook his head, sighed and said, "That's why I must come here." The Jiangyin army sentenced Li Shixiu to want to surrender to the Yuan army, but he was not successful before, and now he has contacted the Yuan army again, Dong Wenbing has promised him to continue to defend Jiangyin, and the Jiangyin army will surrender in the past two days. ”
"What? Is this serious? ”
"My lord, do I have to deceive you? No, this Jiangyin City is surrounded by water on all sides, how can it be so simple to capture it, what am I so anxious to come to the rescue? The purpose of letting Dong Wenbing's Tanma come over is to let him see that there are less than a thousand of us, so as to appease Dong Wenbing's heart, and also to calm this Li Shixiu's heart. ”
Wen Tianxiang was full of anger and scolded: "This Li Shixiu is just a villain, dare to do this?" ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Adults don't have to be angry, Fan Wenhu and Lu Wenhuan have all descended, not to mention his little thing?" I have my own way. The adults will then wait to enter the city to receive the Jiangyin army. ”
Wen Tianxiang looked at Cheng Yue and muttered, "But you want to raid at night? ”
Cheng Yue said mysteriously: "It's not a surprise attack, it's a decapitation operation." ”
Cheng Yue called Zhang Gui to take off and ordered them to select three hundred elite horsemen to rest now and act with him at night. The others are holding on to the camp, and those who provoke do not need to be ignored. After saying that, he swaggered to sleep.
When it was almost evening, there were more than 2,000 troops to challenge, and the two only ordered people to shoot with bows and arrows, and did not leave the camp.
When he was about to arrive, Cheng Yue got up and got all the equipment, instructed Zhang Guihe and Totoku in detail, called Wen Tianxiang up, told him the plan, and asked him to guard the camp. The three hundred cavalrymen who had been fully rested, all dressed in black clothes, covered with black scarves and black cloths, quietly disappeared into the night.
Twenty miles lay down two hundred and fifty cavalry and let them lie in ambush.
Thirty miles is coming in a flash, and Dong Wenbing's outer camp is close at hand. Cheng Yue said to the remaining fifty people: "I will go through the camp and enter the Chinese army, you are ready, wait here, see the Chinese army on fire, you also release rockets to the outer camp and send ten people to cover up and meet me, leaving forty people to ambush on the side of the road, waiting for us to pass, that is, to attack the pursuers." Don't fight in love, save your life, and we will kill until Khan Bali. ”
Fifty horsemen were ordered, dismounted and rested.
At this time, the sky was not good and the moon was not clear, Cheng Yue put on a night vision device, beat his horse and jogged, and found an open space between the camps and camps to pass through the camp.
Dong Wenbing brought 30,000 horses this time, which was already a sure victory, and because the Jiangyin army was about to surrender, it was natural that he would not defend the camp all night. Although I heard that reinforcements arrived, there were less than 1,000 people, and they did not dare to engage in battle, but they only strictly guarded the camp, and it is said that more than half of them were still surrendered by the Yuan army, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined. Except for the command not to be careless, no one really takes it seriously.
Cheng Yue rode alone, even if someone heard the sound of horses' hooves, what did it matter? If the horse's hooves are not in a hurry, they must not rush to the camp, and they are basically sure to be their own people. Even if you count the Song soldiers, it doesn't matter, the camp is tightly packed, can you still rush in? What's the use of you rushing to the middle barracks?
Cheng Yue had already expected this, so Cheng Yue arrived at the outside of the Chinese military camp very smoothly, this large camp was centered on a small dirt slope, and there were 5,000 people living in it, all of whom were elites under Dong Wenbing's command.
Dong Wenbing is conscientious, the camp is also firmly entrenched, there are many deer antler trenches that reject horses, the suspension bridge is raised high, and there are two teams of people patrolling back and forth on the camp gate, and they will definitely not be able to rush in.
Cheng Yue is not an immortal, and he has no intention of rushing in. He looked at the largest Chinese military tent on the dirt bag. The infrared telescope clearly saw that someone was sitting in the tent, and he hadn't slept yet.
God help me!
There are also people in several relatively large tents next to the Chinese military tent, who should be Dong Wenbing's nephews and generals.
Cheng Yue is in a good mood, everyone is here, hehe.
Cheng Yue picked up a sniper rifle and a silencer, aimed at the stomach of the figure in the military tent and pulled the trigger.
The sniper rifle made a soft sound, and Cheng Yue saw that the figure was shocked, his hand covered his stomach, and he looked at his palm in disbelief, and then called out loudly, faintly hearing but not knowing what he was shouting.
Immediately, two figures rushed to the man's side. One immediately rushed out, shouting as he ran.
At this time, all the tents were alarmed, and a figure ran towards the Chinese military tent in his clothes. A large number of soldiers also got up one after another and searched the camp.
When more than a dozen people nearby entered the tent, Cheng Yue picked up the automatic rifle, loaded the grenade, calculated the yuan, and pulled the trigger lightly. A grenade accurately hit the tent of the Chinese army in a parabolic manner, exploding and catching fire.
Cheng Yue saw that more than a dozen people in the Chinese military tent fell down in response, and he was still a little uneasy, so he put another one and blew it up again, so he quickly loaded the weapon on the horse, beat the horse and rushed back.
The trajectory of the gun grenade exposed Cheng Yue's position, although he didn't know what it was, Dong Wenbing had prestige in the Yuan army, and countless Yuan soldiers shouted and got on their horses and rushed to the camp gate, and when the camp gate put down the drawbridge, Cheng Yue had already run away.
The soldiers of the outer camp didn't know what was happening in the Chinese army at all, but they only heard a sudden explosion from the Chinese military camp, and then saw the Chinese army tent on fire. Immediately there was another explosion, and the roars of the camp were all in one place.
The outer battalions immediately raised their torches, and then they saw a horse in armor, on which a man in strange clothes rode through the camp, and the man rode his horse and galloped wildly, while shouting: "On the orders of Lord Li of the Jiangyin Army, Dong Wenbing's old thief, Dong thief's father and son have all been given the head, and the army still does not ask to surrender?" After saying that, there was a burst of laughter, and a large number of cavalry faintly chased after him.
At this time, an outer camp also suddenly caught fire, and there were bursts of shouts and killings, although the Yuan soldiers were well-trained, they couldn't help but be in a mess, and everyone was asking what was going on?
The pursuers behind galloped in, all of them were not fully armoured, obviously in a hurry, and many of the soldiers had tears on their faces, cursing loudly the person who broke into the camp in front. Seeing this, all the Yuan soldiers understood one thing, what the man in the strange clothes said was probably true!
Dong Wenbing is dead!
Jiangyin City can be lowered overnight, but Dong Wenbing is actually dead!
This bastard Li Shixiu! It's so despicable and shameless!
The battalions were in an uproar, and everyone was scolding. Those who have received Dong Wenbing's favor are crying bitterly. Almost all the Yuan soldiers took up arms and rushed to the tents of hundreds, thousands, and thousands of households to demand that they attack Jiangyin tomorrow, kill Li Shixiu, and slaughter the city!
Cheng Yue happily joined the ten cavalrymen who received him and galloped towards his own camp together.
The pursuers behind desperately caught up, and suddenly a tripping rope rose into the air, and a dozen cavalrymen in front fell from their horses with the neighing of their horses, only a few were seriously injured, and the others fell to their deaths.
Immediately after that, a rain of arrows was shot on both sides of the road, and dozens of people were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. Before the pursuers could take their arrows and shoot back, a second rain of arrows covered them again.
The pursuers were so angry that they finally took off their bows and fought back, but the ambush soldiers had already galloped away, and even if the arrows they shot fell on them, they would not be able to penetrate the armor of the men and horses, and they would not damage the opponent at all.
More than 2,000 pursuers were unwilling to suffer such a big loss, and their eyes were red. The thousands of households who led the troops did not want to chase after them despite the dissuasion of others, and they chased after them again, and the others had to follow.
After chasing ten miles more, the tripping horse rope came as scheduled, and there were five at once! The rain of arrows fired by three hundred cavalry was simply overwhelming, shooting from all directions. I can't see anything in the darkness all around, so where are you going to shoot? I didn't even dare to run.
The thousand households just woke up, in the middle of the night, it can only be beneficial to the ambush soldiers, if there are ambushes behind, wouldn't they be in danger? Just as he was about to call for retreat, a bullet had already sent him to the western sky.
Cheng Yue slaughtered the Yuan soldiers one by one or two through the infrared scope, and the top priority was the generals who tried to command.
A few canopies of arrows rained down, five or six hundred Yuan soldiers fell, the rest were at a loss, and the generals who led the troops were all dead, what should I do now?
Cheng Yue suddenly shouted: "Surrender and don't kill!" Then the three hundred men shouted together, and the darkness was full of voices urging them to surrender, and I don't know how many men and horses there were. The remaining more than 1,000 remnants of the soldiers looked at each other, and the battle was already lost, so these soldiers had to dismount one by one, lay down their weapons, and knelt on the ground to surrender.
Cheng Yue actually wanted to kill all the pursuers, but after he looked carefully, he found that these pursuers were basically Han Chinese, so he had the intention of surrendering.
Bands of cavalry lit torches, went forward to put away their weapons, tied up the prisoners, and escorted them back to the camp.
Back in the camp, Zhang Guituo was still worried that Cheng Yue would break into the camp with 300 cavalry alone, and he didn't know what the result would be. Suddenly, I saw three hundred cavalry returning unscathed, and brought more than a thousand prisoners, all of whom were cavalry.
The two of them are also experienced in a hundred battles, where have they ever seen such a big victory?
There are people below to arrange it, and I don't know how busy it will be.
Zhang Guituo and Wen Tianxiang, who heard the news, surrounded Cheng Yue, Wen Tianxiang grabbed Cheng Yue's hands, but he didn't know where to ask, this young man was simply amazing.
Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "If nothing happens, Dong Wenbing is dead, and it should be difficult for his nephews to survive." The Yuan army has already turned against Li Shixiu, and when we find an opportunity, we will enter the city and hold the Jiangyin army in our hands. ”
"What-?!"
Rao is three already knew Cheng Yue's plan, but they were still frightened by the huge results.
Dong Wenbing is an important minister of Kublai Khan, both civil and military, and has made countless meritorious contributions. Tokhtar admired his name in the Yuan army for a long time, and although he was a Han Chinese, no one dared to despise him in the Manchu Dynasty. He died like that?
This Cheng Yue is really the first rank of a general in a million army, like picking up something!
Tokhtar couldn't help but kneel down and hugged Cheng Yue's legs, and said loudly: "Master, are you afraid that you are the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva?" ”
Wen Tianxiang looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief who was patting his head off and showing a warm smile, patted Cheng Yue's shoulder and said, "If it is true as you say, this official should personally ask for credit for you." A miracle is a great achievement! Tell me the details. ”
Cheng Yue told the story in detail, and the three of them were convinced. Wen Tianxiang picked up the two weapons that Cheng Yue said, touched them lightly, and couldn't help but praise: "The world's gods, the world's gods." ”
Zhang Guidao: "Xianggong Wen, kill the general Dong Wenbing and more than ten of his subordinates, and break more than 2,000 elite cavalry with 300 and 2,000 unscathed, this move will shock the world and inspire the hearts of the people who resist the Yuan. ”
Wen Tianxiang didn't understand what Zhang Gui said, and said angrily: "As long as this matter is proven, the Empress Dowager has her own official to take care of." ”
