Chapter 940: A Victory
It is no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of Liang Sidu and other generals, Yang Zhen can indeed be regarded as a more terrifying existence than a wolf. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They naturally heard a lot about what this Jinyi Wei Governor did in the capital, and what made them even more jealous was what Yang Zhen did in Datong a few years ago. At that time, he was only a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and he was able to turn his hands into clouds and rain in Datong, and knock down a Datong governor and many court officials who held military power into dust, which was not what ordinary court officials dared to do.
And now, Yang Zhen has become the commander of the Jinyi Guard, no matter the power in his hands, or his status, or the people who can be mobilized, he will far exceed the beginning, if he finds any clues, then the fate of his own people is not ......
Thinking of this, many generals shuddered, and then their expectant eyes fell on their own general soldiers, wanting to see what kind of attitude he had and whether he could give everyone courage.
Liang Sidu saw the fear of the generals under his command, in fact, he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, but at this time he still insisted on himself: "You don't have to be too flustered, we are different from other places after all, even if it is the Son of Heaven, if you want to attack us, you have to weigh the consequences, even if he Yang Zhen is ordered to do things, he will not dare to do things too much." ”
As he spoke, he swept over the people in front of him with a stern gaze: "But during this time, you should also be more restrained, don't do any more ridiculous things to make people seize the handle, otherwise we will be passive." You are also aware of the treacherous methods of Jinyiwei, although others have not yet arrived, it is difficult to ensure that the ears and eyes have already been inserted. ”
"Yes!" The generals hurriedly agreed. In fact, recently Xuanfu was besieged and attacked by the Mongols, and they all rushed to defend the city, and they really didn't have the heart to do those dirty things.
Seeing that they were so obedient, Liang Sidu nodded with some pleasure. But then, his eyes sharpened again: "There is one more point, we should also do it." Seeing that everyone was puzzled for a while, he pointed his hand in the direction of the city wall: "Those Mongolian people outside the city must repel them before Yang Zhen and them arrive!" ”
"Ah...... General, this is not easy to do......"
"Yes, general, they have tens of thousands of elites, and we can only gain the upper hand by relying on our geographical advantages, but if we want to defeat them completely, we have to take the initiative to go out of the city, so ......"
"Hmph, I don't know if it's difficult? But things have to be done if they are difficult, even if they will lose some people because of this, as long as they can be repelled and the siege of Xuanfu can be relieved, it is a good thing! ”
When everyone heard Liang Sidu say this, they were in a trance again. Before this, the chief soldier of his own family had always put the preservation of strength in the first place, but why did he suddenly change like this now?
"Why, don't you understand? The reason why the court is dissatisfied with us is because of the attack of the Mongols. Now if you want to block Yang Zhen's mouth, you can only make a contribution, so that you can have the confidence to deal with them. Now, it's not time to care about the loss, it's time to give it a go. Liang Sidu said with a solemn expression.
"But General, even if we are willing to give it a go, the Mongolian people outside the city will not be easy to deal with......"
"I've thought about this too, if we really go head-to-head with them, we may not be able to take advantage. But in the case of a sudden sneak attack, the situation is different. Especially tonight, they must not have imagined that we would attack the city immediately after holding a round! Liang Sidu's eyes flickered, and he explained his strategy.
The generals exchanged heads for a while, and then many people nodded in agreement. Indeed, after so many days of siege, the Ming army only defended to the death, and did not see a counterattack, and the Mongols must not have imagined that they would suddenly change their strategy.
"Since there is no problem, then the second watch will be assembled today, and the third watch will open the city to attack, and they must be completely defeated!" Liang Sidu waved his hand and gave the final order.
"Whoa!" The generals responded with a bang, in fact, they had already died of grievance, and they also hoped to give the Tartars outside the city a head-on blow.
Two days later, several guards stationed in Xuanfu City gathered. Although the faces of the generals and ordinary soldiers were full of excitement to kill the enemy and serve the country, except for the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves, there was no other sound to be heard.
As early as when they were ordered to assemble, a strict order had been issued to prevent the people outside the city from detecting it, and no sound should be heard. For this reason, the soldiers were even more in their mouths, and the horses were also stung on their heads, just waiting for the final order to attack.
Looking at the soldiers and horses under his command who were ready to go, Liang Sidu was both relieved and a little painful. This is all the capital that he spent almost ten years to accumulate little by little, I dare not say that it is the most elite people in the border army, but it is also the elite of the Ming army. And now, he is going to lead them to raid the Mongolian military camp outside the city, and I don't know how many people will die in this field.
After taking a deep breath, Liang Sidu suppressed the emotions in his heart, suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, it's time to let those Tartars know how powerful we are!" Kill, drive them out of our eyes once and for all! ”
Silently, all the soldiers raised their weapons in response to the peace. As soon as the knife in Liang Sidu's hand fell, the city gate was quietly opened, and then tens of thousands of defenders in the city rushed towards the Mongolian camp a few miles ahead.
When they led their horses to a place more than a mile away from the enemy camp, the cavalry jumped on their horses, flicked the reins, and controlled their horses to charge towards the Mongolian camp as fast as possible. At the same time, the foot soldiers behind him also let out a shout, raised their weapons, and galloped forward, like the cold north wind in front of them, and quickly rushed towards the black enemy camp in front of them.
Because there is only more than a mile of land, there is no need to hide anymore, and even if the enemy discovers his whereabouts, he is afraid that he will not have time to react accordingly.
The cavalry, which was even faster, rushed to the very humble camp of the Mongols without the slightest hesitation, and many of them had already lit the gunpowder in front of the arrows, and then put on the bowstrings and shot violently, and one rocket after another went towards the tents and yurts of the Mongols like a meteor shower on a summer night, and in the blink of an eye they were ignited, and they quickly burned under the blowing of the north wind.
After firing the rockets, the cavalrymen threw away their empty bows, drew their swords, and stomped in again with a shout.
It was only by this time that a hundred and ten Mongols burst out of the burning tents, just in time to meet the cavalry that had rushed towards them. Without horses, they fled from the burning tent in a hurry, and the Mengren, who didn't even have weapons in their hands, were naturally not the opponents of the Ming cavalry who were poised to kill.
And this aroused the fighting spirit of these cavalrymen, who kept shouting, controlled their horses and rushed forward, vowing to kill all the enemies they could see.
At the same time, the Ming army infantry also followed and slaughtered the Mengda camp. As soon as they saw that the cavalry was like a tiger, they also took the lead one by one, shouting and rushing straight at the Mongols who ran out of the tents one after another, and killed these enemies to the ground when their swords and guns rose and fell.
The soldiers were like tigers chasing and killing in the Mongolian camp, so unhappy and majestic, but many of the generals were suspicious, they saw that something was wrong.
As far as they know, the Mongolian army can be enough to have 30,000 people, but now, there are only two or three thousand people in the entire camp, which is the reason why the Ming army can completely suppress the enemy, but the other party has no power to fight back.
When Liang Sidu arrived later, someone reported the situation, which made him also surprised: "How can this be? Did these Tartars retreat early? But why are they in such a hurry to retreat at night? They had just launched a fierce attack before dark, so was it because of this defeat that the soldiers retreated? ”
Subsequently, Liang Sidu denied his judgment: "No, there must be other intentions in this." They won't give up because of a small setback, and besides, they must have left this part of the army to create a false impression, so as to hide people's eyes, but what is their purpose? ”
Although he couldn't figure out the motives of the Mongols, it was a great victory for Liang Sidu, and it was more exciting for him than the direct defeat of the Mongol army, because in this way, not to mention the credit--this battle could not only be regarded as the repulsion of the besieging Mongol army, but also the head of a few thousand enemy troops was also a great gain--and his own damage was not serious, which was an unexpected gain.
So after a little thought, he gave an order: "Pass the order, today's battle just needs to say to the outside that we see the opportunity to attack the Tartar camp outside the city at night, completely defeat them, and behead thousands." As for the other Tartars, they fled in a hurry after the defeat. ”
"Yes!" The surrounding generals hurriedly agreed, and when the battle was over, they would instruct their men to follow this statement and spread it out.
In the dark night more than ten miles away, a large cavalry team stopped and looked at their original camp, looking at the continuous fire there, and all the Mongolian people were shocked.
Who would have thought that they had only been away for two hours, and such a thing had happened over there. Although he was not at the scene, many people deduced that it was caused by the sneak attack of the Ming army.
Tuta looked back at the burning camp, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "This Xuanfu guard really has some skills." But don't worry, I'm not going to take it this time. Presumably, no one in the Ming Kingdom would have thought that my real goal would be it! Thinking of this, his gaze had passed through the dark night sky and went straight to the city farther away......
