It was already deep in the night, and all the horses were lying on the ground with their bridles.

None of the more than 2,000 cavalry spoke, and they all quietly looked at the brightly lit old camp of the Ningxiang Army in the distance. There was still no wind, and the early summer night was like a black lead stone pressing on everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere seemed to be stagnant.

As if infected by the solemn air, some war horses snorted uneasily. The cavalry stretched out their hands to touch the neck of the war horse, comforting their comrades.

After a good night's sleep, the troops were pulled out by Sun Yuan and ambushed in a hilly area one and a half miles away from the old camp. At the same time that the whole army went out of the camp to ambush, Sun Yuan also ordered people to light all the lights in the old camp. The sporadic firelight is very eye-catching on the empty plain in the dark night, and I believe that it can easily attract Liu Chao.

It's so dry that the grass and trees on the hilly slopes have withered and yellowed, and you can't even find a single mosquito, and the night is as cool as water, which is very refreshing

。

Looking up, the sky above you is a translucent deep blue, with thousands of stars twinkling, no need to ask, tomorrow is another good day.

Sun Yuan had been standing under an old persimmon tree with his hands behind his back, keeping his head up at the sky for some time. As the hour passed little by little, when he saw that the situation had arrived, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. The wind is calm, how can there be a little wind in this night?

However, as the commander of the first army and the commander of the Yangzhou Zhen Army, even if he was worried, he still tried his best to make a calm face with a solid chest.

Xiao Yu was a little breathless, and whispered: "General, could it be a mistake, don't be fooling us, right?" In order to save Leng Ying's green-headed turtle, this guy was in a hurry and told such a big lie, which is really hateful! ”

Jing Ran was recommended by him to enter the army, and if this birdman caused such a big disaster, it would make him angry and anxious.

Sun Yuan opened his mouth, just about to appease Yu Xiang, who was already a little anxious. At this time, he suddenly ate a mouthful of dust, his trachea was irritated, and he almost coughed.

In an instant, a sharp whistling sound swept up the ground and rushed up the hillside. Seen by the starlight, an endless wall of dust swooped slowly and neatly, like the sea at high tide. The horsemane of the war horse, the battle robe on the body, the red tassel on the helmet, and the black flag of the Ningxiang Army all flew in the same direction.

The wind is blowing!

The power of nature was so spectacular that everyone stared at the sand and dust coming from the wall in front of them. Even the restless war horse quieted down and lay on the ground, trembling slightly.

"Rustle, rustle!" The wall of dust seemed to be very slow, but in fact, it rushed in front of Sun Yuan in an instant, and his eyes were suddenly confused, and only the sound of sand hitting the iron helmet sounded in his ears.

Sun Yuan opened his mouth to keep everyone in good formation, but in this case, it was difficult to even breathe, so how could he shout.

He could only take out the cotton towel he had prepared to cover his mouth and nose, and squatted directly on the ground to minimize the wind on his body.

I don't know how long it took, but I felt that my skin, hair, and armor were full of sand, and just when Sun Yuan felt that he was about to be unable to stand it, the wind gradually became lighter

。

The eyes were much clearer, and the lights of his old camp in the distance were transmitted in the dimness, and the starlight above his head was faintly discernible.

Sun Yuan looked back, but there was no one around him. In the midst of the horror, a shadow moved next to it, and then a second, a third, and a hundredth...... It turned out that the dust was so big just now that it covered everyone.

"General, enemy attack." Xiao Yu stretched out his right hand and pointed into the distance.

Sun Yuan's heart froze, and he looked fixedly, and in the distance was a sea of torches, which instantly filled his eyes.

The chaotic yellow earth curtain in the air also trembled slightly in the light of this torch, as if it was about to come to life.

"That's a lot, a lot!" Xiao Yu took a breath of cold air and spit out a mouthful of sand full of saliva: "At least 20,000, maybe more." ”

When Sun Yuan saw it, he almost burst into laughter: "Cao Kou is really Cao Kou, looking at Liu Chao's military situation, I am afraid it is not as good as Gao Yingxiang during the Chuzhou War." (.marshmallow)"

Xiao Yu is right, the enemy is at least more than 20,000, because it is the middle of the night, and the number is not clear, so it is impossible to exceed 50,000. Although there were many people, the ranks of the troops were extremely scattered, and there was no formation to speak of. The distance between soldiers and soldiers, and between teams is also large, and the thieves have all kinds of weapons in their hands, not to mention knives and guns, and many people still have hoes, nail rakes, and even wooden sticks in their hands. Naturally, it is impossible to talk about the cooperation of multiple arms of the armed forces in such a unit.

Obviously, the enemy did not have any rigorous training at all, and many of them were probably homeless people and ordinary people who were coerced by Liu Chao, and they were driven to the battlefield by throwing a wooden stick directly.

Such an army was a bit like the peasant army in the early days, relying on the outnumbers of people to rise up. If you win the battle, you can naturally rely on high morale to make the opponent fall into the sea of people. But once the battle is bitter and unfavorable, these rogues will scatter as birds and beasts.

The distance between the enemy's soldiers and the soldiers was so great that it was just right for our cavalry to charge. Wait for a single charge, you can directly penetrate Liu's super large array, and the rest will be simple. It's nothing more than pursuit, pursuit, non-stop pursuit.

It's ridiculous that Ma Shiying can't even beat such a bad army, and he and Ruan Dacheng kept telling themselves that Liu Chao is an experienced general, and his subordinates are all battle-hardened warriors, so they can't be careless.

Hehe, let Ma Yaocao show you today, what is a real stealing warrior

！

Putting the Ningxiang Army in the civil war is really a knife to kill chickens, and anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes!

It was precisely because the enemy had not undergone basic military training that as soon as he saw the lights of the old camp of the Ningxiang Army, he did not wait for the officer's order, and at the same time let out a shout and ran forward with all his strength.

At this time, not only Sun Yuan, but even Yu Xiang, who had never led soldiers, couldn't help shaking his head, and began to run wildly so far away, and when he reached the ground, he was not tired. If you encounter an ambush, how do you fight the enemy? On a serious battlefield, the two sides will face each other in formation, and the attacking side will slowly approach, and only when the two sides are a hundred paces apart will the speed be raised to the maximum.

yes, this battle is not serious at all.

Gradually, Liu Chaobu had already rushed to the bottom of the hills. Because there is sand in the sky, the vision is chaotic, and naturally you can't see the cavalry of the Ningxiang Army ambushed on the mountain.

Looking down condescendingly, by the light of the fire, Sun Yuan saw that many thieves were gasping for breath, and many of them were spitting out the sand in their mouths.

Before they even rushed to the ground, the thieves were tired like this. Before they had fallen into the trap, they had no strength.

There is no suspense in this battle.

Sun Yuan shook his head unconsciously, and then there was a sadness in his heart: the Central Plains has been repeatedly subjected to war since the early years of Chongzhen, and it is simply a sea of corpses and blood. It is said that if you learn war in war, the people here should have been in the elite a long time ago. But now it seems that it is so unbearable. If you don't have an army like this, how can you resist the upcoming Liaodong iron hooves in the future?

Today, let me show you what the real army is, it seems that in the future, what kind of Jiannu will be plagiarized, the Ningxiang Cavalry Army is a strong army that can fight with Duoduo.

"Cavalry in armor!"

Not only did the orders be conveyed to the ears of every cavalryman one by one, Sun Yuan opened his arms and asked the guards around him to put a mouthful of armor on him.

The armor polished like a mirror made his eyes light up instantly, and Sun Yuan also felt his body sink.

These two thousand iron armors were saved by Sun Yuan for his cavalry in the past three years, and his original intention was to let this army play a role on the battlefield when the Qing troops came in the future. As far as he knew, in the future, when the Qing troops went south to destroy the Ming Dynasty, the Han military banner and the Ming Dynasty surrendered the army accounted for the absolute majority of the troops. Coupled with the training of Kong De, Shang Kexi and others, the Qing army has begun to equip the troops with a large number of firearms, and the firearms tactics are even stronger than those of the Ming army

。

Firearms are the world where cavalry charges, and in order to protect the cavalry, Sun Yuan began to develop new armor. The iron armor also became thicker and thicker, and in the end, European plate armor was made. But the weight of the plate armor is too heavy, and the war horse can't move. So, Sun Yuan improved it several times, removing the sleeves and hem of the armor, and consisted of two decks at the front and rear, the main material was iron, the buckle and rivets were brass, connected by belts, and the surface was polished. By the time it was finalized, it had the flavor of the cuirassiers of the Napole period.

The weight of the armor was also reduced to twenty pounds. However, this weight is already heavy. Therefore, on weekdays, the armor of the cavalry must be placed separately in the armor bag, carried by another war horse, and then worn on the body when charging. But even so, because it is too heavy, the shoulders can't stand it after a long time.

These two thousand armors are too labor-intensive, and they are worth a lot of money, and together with the war horses under the cavalry, they are the most valuable belongings in the Ningxiang Army in addition to the warships.

Of course, Sun Yuan, as the commander of the First Army, had extremely strong armor on his body. In addition to the outer cuirass, a rope armor was worn inside.

In addition to equipping cuirasses, the cavalry of the Ningxiang Army also had a knife hanging on their waists, two handguns, a short hammer, an axe, and long weapons that had been eliminated by the team.

A body of polished armor pierced through the body, and the hillside grew brighter and brighter.

Then, a helmet was buckled to the head, and the long lightning rod-like helmet was fluttering in the wind, like a burning fire. Coupled with the armor that is as bright as lightning, it looks very penetrating.

Sitting on the war horse, Sun Yuan buckled the mask off his helmet, revealing only a pair of eyes outside, looking like a robot.

He drew his waist knife with a "sonorous sound", pointed forward, and the war horse slowly walked down the hill.

The other 2,000 cavalry also drew their standard Yanling knives at the same time, and just silently advanced forward with their commander.

Four thousand horses rushed down the hillside at the same time with neat steps, and although the sound was not loud, it was extremely penetrating. The entire turf shook violently in the torrent.

This inevitably attracted the attention of the thieves, and almost all of them turned their heads at the same time, and then opened their mouths wide and shouted. Unfortunately, their shouts were instantly drowned out by the sound of rumbling horses' hooves.
