Five-three-five: Ambush

(The war north of the Songhua River has begun, and Wu Yijun is about to intervene)

Some were dressed in bear skins, some were dressed in wolf skins, and at a glance, it seemed that these cavalry were not riding war horses at all, but like fierce beasts.

It's like an army of beasts!

These war horses are carefully selected, they are all the tallest horses in the Northeast that are taller than people, and their bodies are far more than ordinary war horses, plus the entire fur of the beasts on their bodies, all of which make the surrounding war horses faintly uneasy, far away from these kind.

If Chen Dakang was here, he would definitely be able to recognize the way these cavalrymen came from!

He must have been impressed by this cavalry - because since the arrival of Wu Yi's army in the northeast, it can be said that it has won consecutive battles without tasting a single defeat, and the only defeat that can be regarded as a failure is the battle of Qileniwei! In that battle, Lian Zining waved his troops to Qileni Wei, and at that time, the Wu Yi Army, which had only two guards and eight thousand households, first infiltrated the city with secret agents from MI6 and opened the city gates, and then pressed forward step by step with an extremely powerful spear phalanx and flintlock pistols, advancing little by little, and the blockers were invincible! He Yunyan, the lord of the Acropolis of Qileni, was defeated, so he led his most elite tiger and leopard horses to flee and kill from the south gate! At that time, it was Chen Dakang who was in charge of guarding the south gate, but he was a little careless, and he was led by He Yunyan to ride the tiger and leopard, and killed the battle formation, which was very bad, and he left!

It can even be said that this battle changed the power pattern in the Wu Yi Army, originally Wu Yi Army from Lian Zining down, it can be said that Xiong Tingbi and Chen Dakang fought against each other, and the two were on an equal footing, even because of their seniority. Chen Dakang is even taller than Xiong Tingbi.

But after this defeat, Lian Zining deliberately put it cold, and then Xiong Tingbi was more reused, and repeatedly led the army to fight, and most of the time Chen Dakang's errand was to guard Xishenwei. Xiong Tingbi is also a very talented general. has won many battles, and now he is the second person in the army after Lian Zining, whether it is prestige or combat record, he is well-deserved. Under the elimination of one and the other, Chen Dakang's status is getting worse. Even in the eyes of many people, even front-line generals such as Yang Husheng, Nurhachi, Dong Ce, and Xia Zikai can't compare.

Although Lian Zining was crowned the thirty-second rank for the first time, Chen Dakang was not left behind, and he told everyone with practical actions that he did not mean to move Chen Dakang. But despite this, now, Chen Dakang is only the commander of the second guard. It's just a commanding officer.

That's right, these cavalry are the elite cavalry of Qileni Wei He Yunyan at the beginning!

This cavalry is He Yunyan's team at the bottom of the box, and it is also his personal guard battalion. He had this cavalry when he was in command of the Kemuwei, and later expanded it after he dominated the Kilerniwe. The scale of 300 people are all elite veterans who have fought bloodily with him, and their combat effectiveness and loyalty are unquestionable. And the equipment is also extremely sophisticated, far beyond the ordinary border army.

Because their mounts are all covered with the fur of fierce beasts, He Yunyan named them Tiger and Leopard Ride!

Later, Lian Zining's army set foot on Qileniwei, and He Yunyan fled in a hurry. first fled to Cao Xin, who was guarding Kaolang, but Cao Xin was also unreliable, and Lian Zining's army pressed the border. Cao Xian descended directly, led a guard composed of 5,600 people, and went to Xishenwei. turned out to be unexpected, but when he went to Xishenwei, he was poisoned by Lian Zining with wine. And before Cao Chen surrendered, he wanted to kill He Yunyan as a gift of apology, but He Yunyan found out. led people to fight out of the encirclement in advance, and escaped again!

After escaping from the Khao Lang Vultures. He Yunyan can also be regarded as understanding, now that Wu Yi's army is strong, like the sun is in the sky, if he is still messing around in the south of the Songhua River, how to escape, he will not be able to escape, and he will be caught sooner or later. And if you go all the way south, you will be exterminated by the court as a rebellious minister and thief. Thinking about it this way, fortunately, he led the three hundred tigers and leopards to cross the Songhua River and came to the border between the Jurchens and Mongolia. …,

This belongs to the area of the two regardless of the two, it is a power vacuum, come here, the sergeant is elite, the weapons are sophisticated, the war horse is majestic, his three hundred tigers and leopards are extremely strong in combat effectiveness, He Yunyan is to find a dangerous place, set up a shed, laid a foundation, can be regarded as starting from scratch, occupy the mountain as the king, and do the very promising profession of bandits.

He can fight under his hands, often go out to rob one or two Jurchen villages, Mongolian tribes, rob money, grab food, grab livestock, rob women, what is there to rob, there is no force around that can rival him, and life is also happy.

But he didn't expect that the good times didn't last long, and later his behavior was too rampant, and he was angry, and the Haixi Jurchen and Fuyuwei were sent to the easternmost ten thousand households to encircle and suppress, and the shed was burned to a white ground.

But he didn't expect that this escape of hundreds of miles was to escape to the border where the Northern Mongolian tribes and the Jianzhou Jurchens fought every year, and at that time, the Jurchen princess Wanyan Yeping was leading the troops there to attack the Northern Mongolian tribes, so she also handed over He Yunyan......

He Yunyan is also a very quick person to see the opportunity, he surrendered as soon as he was surrounded, this surrender attitude is quite good, and Wan Yan Yeping belongs to the kind of people in the Jurchen who admire the civilization of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty, so he didn't embarrass him - but not being embarrassed does not mean being treated, He Yunyan really has nothing to make Wan Yan Yeping look at, so he gave him a small official who was responsible for the management of the Jurchen Khan's garrison, and threw him in the Jurchen Khan's court. However, He Yunyan's three hundred tigers and leopards rode it, which made Wanyan Yeping very hot, and directly took it under his own name.

She treated these tiger and leopard horses very well, and these tiger and leopard horses reciprocated their favors, but they were also very loyal to her, and after Yan Yeping adjusted the appointment of officers, she took this small elite unit into her hands.

She came to the northern frontier to resist the Russian army, and the tiger and leopard riders naturally accompanied her, but even when the battle situation was critical, she did not use these elites, and now, these tiger and leopard riders actually appeared here!

And the one who was surrounded by the tiger and leopard rider in the middle was a young man in his thirties. It was the face of the Jurchens, who was full of flesh and extremely vicious, with shaved hair on his head and only a pigtail-like pigtail. It's already blue all around, and it's clear that I've been keeping this hairstyle for some time.

This person is none other than Wan Yanlie.

He was ordered by the Jurchen Great Khan Wanyan Chen monk to lead 1,000 kidnapping horses, 15,000 armored cavalry, and 20,000 light cavalry. went to northern Xinjiang to support Yan Yeping. And Monk Wanyan Chen had already passed on the edict, ordering the warriors of all tribes along the way to ride on horses, pick up swords, and wait for the call!

Wan Yan Lie led the army to the north, and along the way, he continued to summon local tribal leaders and directly take over the power of the army. He came with the general trend of the central government. In addition, there were many people, so those tribal leaders did not dare to disobey, and when he arrived at the Duo'er Bihe Wei ten days later, he hated the ancient river. The number of troops has expanded from 36,000 at the beginning of the expedition to 60,000!

And the reason why I went there was naturally because Wanyan Yeping was there.

Wanyan Yeping led the army to snipe the Russian army, fighting and retreating all the way, she is also such an excellent general. There are many scheming, all kinds of intrigues and intrigues are endless, although the number of troops is not large. But it was like a piece of kraft candy, stalked, and stuck to the body of the Russian army.

The skills of marching and fighting in the East are completely different from those in the West, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are hundreds of years ahead of the Europeans in this era. It is still stuck in the formation of the two sides, with the knights at the front. The two sides hedged for a while, and whoever died less after rushing over won, almost staying at such a primitive stage. The command skills of the generals in the Chinese cultural circle are something they have never thought of. …,

After Yan Yeping's series of conspiracies and tricks, endless night raids, day attacks, local attacks, cutting off his food routes, cutting off his ears and eyes, bluffing, and tricking tricks, etc., made those Russian generals dumbfounded.

At this time, they also fully understood, and even put away the trace of disdain for the Jurchens when they had just sent out the army, and knew that the opponent in front of them now was completely different from the Central Asians and Siberian natives they had defeated before, and even more difficult and powerful than all the opponents they had encountered in the history of the empire!

Even though there are only a few thousand of them!

Wanyan Yeping gave them the most typical oriental meeting gift, which led these Russians into a quagmire where it was difficult to move an inch.

Although they had an army of more than 100,000 people, more than ten times the number of Wanyan Yeping's army; Although they have such excellent soldiers as Dongfang Tong and Kutuzov like Zakhrev in their army, when they face an opponent who does not play cards according to their usual routines and ideas at all, and this opponent is an amazing and brilliant military general, they suddenly feel that they are not strong, a feeling that they cannot be forced, they are restrained everywhere, and they are one step behind everywhere, and they are really like they are stuck in a quagmire, and they are struggling to move forward.

It's because the speed of progress is very slow, and it's been a while for it to advance to the bank of the Hate Ancient River!

Hate the ancient river in the Jurchen Khan's court six hundred and seventy miles northeast! Hate the ancient river all the way to the east, in Manjingwei into the sea. This is the place farther north than the Songhua River, with lush forests and vast land.

But when you get here, you can't go back!

Although it is still hundreds of miles away from the Jurchen Khan's court, after crossing the Hagu River, it is a flat river, and there is no longer any obstruction! As long as you cross the Hyagu River, if the opponent sends a light cavalry, you can reach the Jurchen Khan's court in no time! No one knows better how strong the Russian Cossack cavalry is than Wanyan Yeping, who has been fighting with the Russian army for so long!

For Wanyan Yeping, this is an absolutely inadmissible scene! She can't let her father, who loves herself and values herself, see her powerlessness, see her own incompetence! She didn't allow herself to let her father Khan be so alarmed, she wanted to keep these jackals out of the country for her father Khan!

What is a country? Now hating Furukawa is the country! It can't be returned.

Wanyan Yeping's Jurchen army camped on the hills of the south of the ancient river, and the Jurchen army in order to avoid being attacked and harassed by the enemy at night - they had suffered many such losses along the way, often at night when the soldiers had just fallen asleep, they were woken up by the loud shouts of killing, and when they took up their weapons and stepped on their horses, they found that the enemy had just come to bluff, and they had already fled. Although the enemy fled, the sweet dream was also ruined. After doing this several times, the morale of the soldiers was so low that they could even fall asleep during the daytime march.

After suffering a few losses, Zakhrev also learned to be obedient, I am far from you. It takes a little more effort to harass you, doesn't it?

The two sides confronted each other.

And it was in this situation that Wanyan Lie led the army to reach Wanyan Yeping's camp.

For this scene, Wanyan Yeping is naturally looking forward to it for a long time, you know, she is even ready to use the little force at hand to hate the other party in the ancient river.

Despite the anticipation. But Wan Yan Yeping was not grateful to Wan Yan Lie, who led the troops, - as early as when the Khan sent troops, she was visited by the fast horse, and if Wan Yan Lie was really attentive, he could have arrived a few days earlier, if that was the case, the situation would not have fallen to the situation where he could only fight with his back to the water! …,

Finish Yan Yeping's scheming. Naturally, I know what Wan Yanlie thinks in his heart - to put it bluntly, he just looks down on himself as a woman, and he doesn't take himself in his eyes at all, maybe he is now planning how to snatch this command from his hands! And she knows it even better. If it is really occupied by Wan Yanlie, a brave and unscrupulous person, the command of these tens of thousands of troops will be over!

Wan Yan Yeping is also such a ruthless and decisive person, and he is not ambiguous, the night Wan Yan Lie came. She feasted the generals from afar, washed the dust for these generals, and then at the banquet. Hundreds of tigers and leopards rode in directly, and Wan Yan Yeping smiled and told them that they would either give up command or die now! In the face of a sharp blade, even a reckless man with a violent personality like Wan Yanlie made a wise choice.

It's as simple as that. The command of Wan Yan Lie and the others was easily relieved, and the senior officers in Wan Yan Lie's army. All of them were replaced by people who finished Yan Yeping, and because she has always had a reputation for being good at fighting, those soldiers were also quite obedient and did not cause any commotion. Although Yan Lie was let go afterwards, because none of the people below were his own people, without them, he couldn't command the army at all, and he was helpless.

Wanyan Yeping couldn't escape all the way, but he kept gathering the men from the tribes along the way to join the army, because although he fled all the way south, this soldier was thinking more and more. By the time they arrived at the banks of the Ancient River, there were already almost 10,000 people, plus the 60,000 troops who came to support, the force was already very large. When there were only thousands of people, she dared to argue with the Russian army, not to mention at this moment, she felt that she already had enough strength to confront the Russian army opposite.

As a result, a series of military operations were also launched.

Of course, the Russian army is also fighting more and more, the main supplement is the slave soldiers, there are many Jurchen tribes along the way, the Russians are also not taboo, regardless of men, women and children, all captured, women are used to vent their desires, men are Pingsuri to build camps, do some hard labor, and when the time comes, they will drive in front of the cannon fodder.

Expanding from the Grand Duchy of Moscow all the way east to the Far Eastern Sea, the Russians have been familiar with this trick for hundreds of years.

So there is today's scene.

The neighing of the horses in the distance flickered, and there was a slight sound of footsteps, followed by a few low cheers, and then the footsteps came closer and closer.

This voice woke up Wan Yanlie, who was sitting on the horse and resting, he opened his eyes, and his eyes were a little irritable: "Who is making noise? Slashed! ”

These days, he is very uncomfortable, and his temper is extremely irritable, so he is taking the opportunity to make a big fuss and vent his anger at once.

The knight next to him spoke, his war horse was covered with a complete bear skin, and the horse helmet was a complete bear head, like a black giant bear, the knight was wearing black heavy armor all over his body, obviously in the same style as the kidnapping horse, and he also wore a mask on his head, the armor covered his body, and the three-layer steel wire mask covered his face, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

This woman's name is Nalan Ruojiang, she is Wanyan Yeping's confidant, when Wanyan Yeping was in the palace, she was Wanyan Yeping's maid, Wanyan Yeping has always liked martial arts, and since she was a child, she has used the methods in the army to train herself These maids, although these maids are bitter, but they are also trained to be a very strong women's army, and the combat effectiveness of these female soldiers is not inferior to the elite soldiers of the Jurchen. Later, after Yan Yeping went north, these maids also accompanied her and became an important force in her hands.

This Nalan Ruojiang is an important figure in this women's army. Now it is the commander of a thousand households riding on the tiger and leopard, and this tiger and leopard riding is her commander. …,

Nalan Ruojiang chuckled and said, "Lord Wanyan, why are you in such a hurry? Let's see what's going on! ”

Wan Yanlie was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything more. Just snorted coldly.

Shaoqing, a Jurchen scout in leather armor and dressed very lightly ran to Wan Yan Lie quickly, knelt down and said, "General, the subordinates and others have already been explored." The team sent by the Russian mongrels to collect grain from the western tribes is still twenty miles away from us, and at their speed, it will be there in half an hour! ”

Before Yan Lie could speak, Nalan Ruojiang waved his hand and said, "Got it, go down!" ”

After the scout left, Nalan Ruojiang reached out and took out a piece of cloth from his pocket next to him and shook it open, which was full of straight and curved lines. If you look closely, it's a map!

Nalan Ruojiang walked up to Wan Yan Lie, pointed to a place on the map with his cold finger wearing steel gloves, and said, "Lord Wan Yan, look here." The Jurchen camp is here! ”

Pointing to another point on the map, and then drawing a route: "This is where the Russian army went to collect grain and grass, and if they want to go back to the camp, they must take this route, so in front of us, it must be the only way!" News of the arrival of our reinforcements. The Russians don't know about it, so they won't think of our sneak attack. Then our sneak attack today, caught off guard, will definitely be able to win a big victory! ”

She has followed Yan Yeping for these days, and under the influence of her ears and eyes, she can be trained into a good general even if she is a mediocre talent, not to mention that these female soldiers are all smart girls in ice and snow? This is a stroke. But it also hit the nail on the head.

Wan Yan Lie saw it and was convinced. But he snorted coldly: "You are all settled, what else do you want me to do?" ”

"Where can I be?" Nalan Ruojiang said with a smile: "Lord Wanyan, you are the forward general of the Great General's Point, how dare I make a decision privately?" It's up to you to decide what to do. ”

Knowing that this was a scene, but after listening to it, Yan Lie was also comfortable in his heart, he pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Time to rest for a cup of tea, after a cup of tea, the whole army will fight!" ”

The herald passed on the order, and the soldiers were all excited, and it was obvious that they were also looking forward to fighting as soon as possible.

An hour passed quickly.

Wan Yan Lie and Nalan Ruojiang slowly rode their horses, and they had already led the tiger and leopard to the front of the team, and behind them, all the soldiers had already stepped on the war horses and followed silently, their eyes full of wild battles.

At this moment, the tremors on the ground suddenly became louder, and another light cavalry scout hurried over, kneeling on the ground and saying, "General, those Russian mongrels are only a mile away from here!" ”

Wan Yanlie nodded, slowly dropped the steel mask composed of three layers of steel wire mesh, stretched out his hand to the right side of the saddle, and with a force, his mace, which was extraordinarily thick and the size of an average strong man's entire leg, was carried in his hand. This mace is full of dark red blood scale, obviously I don't know how many people's blood has been drunk, Wan Yan Lie's hand shook, this mace weighing more than dozens of catties in his hand was like a light soft sword, playing a flower. It can also be seen from this that this person can be entrusted with an important task by Monk Wanyan Chen, and it is by no means without merit, on the battlefield, he must be a first-class fierce general.

Seeing his movements, the corners of Nalan Ruojiang's mouth outlined a slight smile, and he also took out his weapon and held it in his hand, but it was two golden hammers. This golden hammer is modeled after Wan Yan Yeping's drum urn golden hammer, but she naturally does not have that strength, this golden hammer is several times smaller, one is only about the size of two fists of an adult man.

Behind them, the three hundred tiger and leopard horsemen clenched the six-foot-long red-tasseled spear in their hands, and the light cavalry silently drew the thick-backed machete at their waists.

In the rolling hills, a team came from afar, and the size of this team was not small, roughly about 5,000 people. There were about two thousand of them, all of them cavalrymen, wearing black cloaks, sharp swords, and high-headed war horses, and they were very powerful. It was the ace rangers in the Russian army, the Cossacks!
