Chapter 340: It's finally time to reach the valley
There were no soldiers and horses in front of him, and a team patrolling the mountains kept firing fireworks into the distance to warn them, so the Tartar soldiers who followed up were even more anxious in their hearts. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Quick, speed up the pace, it's a great achievement to get out of the mountain road!"
Abatai personally went into battle to lead the army at this moment, a positive blue flag Niu Lu and a positive white flag Niu Lu, moving forward together, no one has any complaints to say, after all, the goal is the same.
But there are still five miles away from the valley, this journey is fatal, wearing heavy armor, leading war horses, and can't ride, they can only follow bitterly, people's physical strength is limited, although the Jurchen tribe mostly hunts in the jungle, but also has to track prey for long distances,
But after all, it was light, and even if the tracking time was long, they had enough physical strength to support it, and now wearing heavy armor to travel long distances, walking five miles in half an hour, was still a burden for them.
"The Tartars are catching up, what should I do?"
The Yulin army patrolling the mountains moved quickly in units, but the Tartar forwards bit very tightly, they just wanted to keep these people, otherwise they would just send specific news.
According to the practice of fighting with the Ming army in the past, it is impossible for a small group of forwards to carry things such as wolf smoke, and they must stop in order to collect firewood and light the news, otherwise they can only warn and find the enemy with fireworks, but they don't know how many people and horses are found.
This gave the Jurchens a buffer time, even if there was a large army stationed nearby, they could not arrive in time, after all, the three armies could not move recklessly, and no one would directly attack with the main force until the specific situation was clear.
"Remember our mission? Before the captain sent us, I seem to understand a little bit of the last strange sentence, and I told the brothers, travel lightly, discard the unimportant heavy objects, and go back safely is the most important thing. ā
The captain seemed to remember something, and the captain said something to him before leaving, so he shouted at the soldiers behind him, and then quickened his pace to the other side of the mountain road and began to move quickly......
"The Tartars have arrived."
Looking at the fireworks that kept exploding in the mountains and forests in the distance, Li Jing came to the front line of the military camp in person, and when he heard the news, his face was joyful, and he quickly commanded left and right,
"All the armies are ready, and the soldiers who are responsible for the fire must go up quickly, and only listen to the fire of ten thousand cannons behind me, and then light the fire together, and completely leave this Tartar here."
In the pre-plan, the oil and gunpowder buried for about ten miles were enough to cut off the retreat of the Tartars, and the twenty dead soldiers who he had ambushed in the mountain road in advance would also cut off the retreat of the Tartars in the rear, that is, in the narrowest place, ignite the gunpowder prepared in advance, blow up the mountain road, ignite the oil and form a fire belt.
"Lord, let me go!"
Chen Da got up and asked for a fight, in this battle, whoever can compete for the first place will be the first to take the lead, but Ning You will not give an inch at all, this is a big opportunity for a long face, who is willing to lag behind!
"Lord, my Yulin Army is united, and it has been prepared for a long time, just send the last general."
"Hugh has to fight for merit!"
Li Jing smiled, at this time, how could he not argue, but after Chen Da and Ning You examined back and forth, he said,
"Ning You led the main force of the Yulin Army to press the formation, divided into two battalions to occupy the northwest, once the artillery stopped, immediately chased and killed the main force of the Tartars, Chen Da led the main force of the town to intercept the Tartar rout and break through, and then divided into two battalions to line up at the mouth of the valley to meet the Tartar vanguard!"
With such a proper arrangement, since Chen Da has offered advice, he should be allowed to take the lead, so that the credit is greater, but the casualties of the troops will not be small, after all, if the dog is driven into the poor alley, it will be a desperate struggle.
"Well, the last general will live up to the instructions of the governor."
Chen Da looked happy, then glanced at Ning You, and then smiled and went down to order to get ready.
"My lord,"
Ning You has to say again, although this kind of chasing and killing can have merit, but it is unstable, everyone will say in the future, if you change your own family, you will definitely be able to make this miracle feat, it is not very convincing.
"Hugh has to say more, each army has its own position, if you dislike it, you can choose the cavalry town to replace you, you will command the rear army, how about it?"
A full five battalions of cavalry lined up in the back, ready to counterattack the Tartars who fought to the death, if Chen Da fought well, maybe there would be nothing to do with them, the mountain road chased and killed the Tartars, and the cavalry had to dismount and fight, Liang Sijiu was depressed.
"Well, then the general has been ordered."
People are afraid of comparison, at least Ning You at this moment was a little happy when he heard him say this, and then looked at Liang Sijiu, who arranged the defense line behind him, and thought that he might not be able to mix up any credit, but he was a little happy in his heart.
"All armies on alert!"
With an order, the armies ambushed at the bottom of the valley began to act one after another, but they had not completely appeared in front of the Tartars for the time being, but one by one the artillery had been pushed into the reserve position, and the soldiers struggled to put them in place, and then sent the prepared gunpowder bullets up.
After the order was passed down, the main force of a whole dozen battalions, in this small valley with a radius of twenty miles, began to move to the predetermined place, and now, everything was ready, just waiting for the Tartars to appear.
"Hurry up, be sure to get out of the mountain before them."
The road is getting wider and wider, after all, it is about to leave the mountainous area, and those true Jurchen warriors behind them, who are chasing in front, have mounted their horses and started to pursue quickly, but the ones behind have slowed down accordingly, because the horsepower is not unlimited, and they have been exhausted after running for so long on the mountain road, they just wait for the battle report from the front, killing and injuring the Ming army.
"Don't stay here, just go out of the valley and rest."
After all, the strength of the troops in the mountain road cannot be used, and the combat effectiveness of the Jurchens will also be discounted, so it is better to go out of the mountain road and go to the valley to rest for a while, no matter what danger they encounter, they will have enough combat power to react, instead of sitting here and watching the beating.
But who knows, Li Jing is doing the opposite, in order to annihilate them at once, not to defeat them, otherwise, as long as they are in the mountain road, the first fire, or even as long as a battalion is arranged, it is enough to scare them away.
"How far is this trail?"
When he was so angry, he was angry and puffed under the service of a Nikan, running hard, and suddenly listened to Abatai's inquiry, so he stopped and looked at the surrounding environment, and only after confirming it, did he say,
"Back to Lord Belle, this place is still about two miles away from the valley mouth,"
"It will be two miles to go out, and the armies will move forward, and they are not allowed to stay, quickly!"
Seeing that the last part of the journey was over, the armies rejoiced, after all, this layer remained unchanged, and they were tired of the rugged and difficult mountain roads, and the Jurchen tribes who came out of the jungle still longed for the days when they raised their butcher's knives on horseback and slashed at the enemy.
