"Order the cavalry town, attack at full speed, intercept the cavalry of the Tartars, and don't escape a single one!"

Dozens of horsemen heard the words and listened to the order, and each went down to report the news, Li Jing sat on the horse, looking at the Tartar soldiers who came out of the mountain road one after another, and waved the whip in his hand, "Order all the armies, set off in formation!" ā€

At this time, within a radius of twenty miles, there were thirteen infantry battalions and five cavalry battalions that moved instantly, holding flags and waving banners, endlessly, and there were soldiers who came and went to give orders, riding war horses and whistling past, and the heavy drums were dragged forward by the war horses, and the low drums that shook the sky continued to sound.

It seemed that the whole sky was covered at this moment, tens of thousands of horses lined up, in the direction where the Tartar soldiers came out, raised their spears, and under the cover of thousands of cavalry on the left and right flanks, they organized a line in front of the Tartar soldiers with such a big grin.

"Oh my God, we've been tricked!"

Even if the stupid Tartar saw this appearance, he was deeply shocked, but isn't it, this is clearly prepared, otherwise, in a hurry, how can the transfer of tens of thousands of troops be possible?

"The Southern Barbarian is useless, he was hastily exposed before my army left the camp, isn't this a big move to take off his pants and fart?"

Abatai seemed to be ashamed and angry in his heart, as if he was happy, after all, his troops had just come out of the mountain road, and the nearest Ming army was still two miles away, the mountain road and the mountain road, to put it bluntly, it was not a place where horses galloped, if the cavalry of the Ming army dared to chase over, he must let the other party see, what is a good man who was born hunting in the jungle.

However, all this is destined to be calculated, what he can do at the moment is to quickly retreat back with a bull with a white flag in front of him before the Ming army is surrounded by various departments, no one can continue to attack forward under the coercion of such a powerful army, the Tartars are not indoctrinated at most, but they are not stupid.

As the saying goes, there are more than 1,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 soldiers, this looks at it, the Ming army's soldiers and horses are more than 10,000, plus prepared and unprepared, Abatai doesn't want to use more than 1,000 real Jurchen warriors in his hands to try the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and the Manchurian warriors who have lost the advantage of war horses, to put it bluntly, fight hard, and they are not necessarily the opponents of the Ming army.

It's a pity that he wants to attract the Ming army to the mountain road and destroy them one by one, but Li Jing is willing to give him this opportunity.

Kites have always been a kind of ancient folk culture, and there are more people who have played when they were children, and they can be tied to a ballista and tied with a big arrow.

Now, less than two miles from the southeast side of the mountain road, there are fifty ballistae specially used to suppress the castle towers and fight for the city.

Seeing that the Tartars began to retreat one after another, the general guarding the crossbow cart waved his hand forward, and all the men and horses struggled forward, pushing the large bed crossbow towards the side of the mountain road quickly, according to the test, the distance of launching this bed crossbow was only two hundred steps, and the farther away was not lethal.

But this time, it's not about lethality, it's about distance, and it's just about shooting the kite that lit the fire into the mountains and forests, causing a fire, and then igniting the clay pot buried in the ground.

"Put!"

At a distance of three hundred paces, the leading general estimated the distance, and directly opened his mouth, and suddenly, soaked in fire oil, a kite on the spot, accompanied by crossbow arrows, sou's mouth came out, and instantly plunged into the lush jungle, instantly causing pieces of fire,

"The arson team is on board."

Not only are the crossbow arrows being fired, but there are also more than 50 arsonists who are desperate to take the initiative to ask for fire, they carry a basket of ceramic oil cans on their backs, hold torches high, and run forward in the face of the Jurchen Tartars' arrows.

And come up at close range to block it, it is completely a live target, a ceramic jar the size of a bowl, smashed on the ground is splashed out of a cloud of oil, contaminated, a fire, can burn a Jurchen Tartar, after seeing two or three struggling and howling humanoid torches, the rest of the Tartar soldiers hesitated.

After all, the problem now is that they don't know what the Ming army on the other side is doing, if it's just a simple fire, then they don't have much to worry about, because who can they scare with this sea of fire? But I can't stand the abruptness in my heart, since the Ming army can prepare tens of thousands of horses and horses to ambush in front of you, how can it be a small fight here?

"Take your men up and drive the arsonists away."

Abatai also gradually felt unstable, after all, this series of things is too abnormal, unfortunately, he has not much chance, in the chaos, suddenly heard a loud noise, only to see in the jungle on his left, a pile of buried gunpowder, suddenly slammed into a violent explosion,

Maybe it was a code or something, after this sound, other violent explosions sounded in all directions, left and right, front and back, and there were Jurchen Tartar soldiers who were retreating in the forest, and they were suddenly swept down, and even the air waves of the explosion were lifted up to the trees.

"It's over, it's over."

Abatai can't sit still now, this series of movements, has made him unable to adapt, even with the team's soldiers and horses there is no crisis for the time being, but the organization of the entire team has been completely lost, he can hardly command the whole army to break through to a place, can only passively follow the rout, fleeing everywhere.

But right now, the entire mountain road is close to the side of the valley, and there are fires everywhere, burning trees, and dense black smoke, all of which indicate that the Tartar soldiers have been completely finished.

"Retreat! The rear team changes to the front team, and retreats immediately! ā€

Yue Tuo, who woke up as early as the first explosion, understood that he had been ambushed, and immediately ordered the whole army to turn around and prepare to return the same way, but before his words fell, a series of huge explosions rang out.

His horse was overwhelmed, and was even more disturbed by the huge explosion that shook the earth, and even let out a long neigh, and then the front hooves rose up, and actually overturned him to the ground, and when he came up to help him up, the whole army was already in chaos, and the frightened scattered horses kept knocking down the soldiers and horses who tried to stop them, and then ran hard in the direction of no fire.

The screams, the roars and the neighing of the war horses, at this moment, filled Yue Tuo's brain, leaving him with no time to care about more things,

"Quick, bring your people, forcibly press it, don't mess up, the organization will break through immediately!"

Now, there is no chance of winning the battle, the entire army has collapsed, and his only wish now is to be able to quickly retreat with this main force!

But the jungle, which had been dry for a month, was already overgrown with bushes and dense weeds, and the fire pots and gunpowder that had been prepared in advance were ignited all at once, and the fire became more and more intense by the wind, and the dry air almost made the Tartar soldiers who were holding their heads scurry, at a loss, they had never fought such a battle.

Before I saw the enemy, I was crushed by a fire.

"Master, it's over, the road behind has been blown up, and there are fires everywhere, we can't get through."

A Niu Lu really didn't care about the inhuman shape on his face, and rushed to Yue Tuo's side, and he couldn't tell whether his face was sweat or tears.

"What? Say it again! ā€

Yue Tuo forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, he knew that this was a complete scheme, he took six or seven thousand gold warriors, rushed into here, it's over! If he lost these horses, he couldn't even think of what else Dajin Guo could use to fight against the Southern Barbarians, this is ten Manchurian Niulu!

"Master, what should I do now?"

The Manchurian Tartars gathered around him were all in a hurry, the back road was completely cut off, and they got the news from the front, which simply didn't drive them crazy, this was in the midst of death!

"Let's withdraw!"

Yue Tuo slightly estimated the comparison of troops, the Ming army came prepared, the enemy in front of him, more than tens of thousands of horses, with the current unorganized, panicked soldiers and horses, it is impossible to break through from the face, and even if it breaks through, what can be done? Not a dead end?

Compared to continuing forward, it is better to take this seemingly dead end of the road, although the mountain road is cut off, but after all, you can take a detour, the fire is too big and you don't have to be afraid, it is better to break through directly than to fall into the hands of the Ming army!

"Whew~huh~!"

The waves of fire are one layer after another, warning all the people who want to pass by here, be careful!

It's a pity that there is a blockade in front and a raging fire in the back, and there is no better way for this group of people to be persecuted, so they stay where they are, maybe they are all roasted, so it is better to fight to the death.

But when you go up to fight, you have to divide the occasion, and now that the army has collapsed, what else to kill?

Don't think that the Jurchens are all iron, they are still afraid of fire, and they are also afraid of the ambush and encirclement of superior enemies, now it is clear that going up is a dead end, then it is better to go back and fight with the sea of fire.

"Puff~Puff~!"

The sound of explosions and the flames that rose by the wind formed a line of life and death, and through him, there was hope of survival, but this was a wall of fire that had gradually reached a width of thirty paces, and easily, no one dared to risk their lives.

"Take off your armor, pour water on your head, and we'll rush out in one go!"

Yue Tuo knew that now, there was no way to explain too much, and they each ran for their lives to ask for more blessings, he didn't have the time to continue to care about Abatai's life and death, and the forward battalion explored the way, but he didn't know when he walked into the ambush circle of the Ming army, what should he do with such people? !
