Chapter 303: Embarking on the Escape

"What ambush?" , Zhao Hong asked with some puzzlement,

"It is to let a team of soldiers launch a fierce attack on the Tartars at the south gate, so that the Tartars mistakenly think that we want to escape from the south gate, so that the pressure on the east gate will be reduced, and it will be much easier to escape...", Peng Yue said this, only to find that he was finally willing to admit that he was now fleeing for his life...

"And when the Tartars attack from the south gate, the soldiers at the south gate can also make an ambush there, set up a few pits at the city gate, and then bombard a few fucking cannons, haha... We have enough weapons left on hand to give the Tartars a pot to drink..."

"Great idea, sir!" , Li Dequan listened, and couldn't help clapping and laughing on the side. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"But... In this way, the soldiers who stayed at the south gate to ambush them, they were in danger, and it would be more difficult to retreat...", Peng Yue sighed lightly, and blamed his "woman's kindness" in his heart, in fact, in this case, it is much better to sacrifice some people than to sacrifice everyone.

"My lord, I will lead a team of soldiers to stay and guard the south gate!" Without a moment of hesitation, Zhao Hong patted his chest and said loudly.

"What?" , Peng Yue looked at Zhao Hong with some surprise, he didn't expect that Zhao Hong would answer so simply, "Do you know that this is very dangerous, you might... You won't be able to escape..."

"It's okay, don't worry!" , Zhao Hong laughed and said, "The adults still don't have enough experience in marching and fighting, I have my own strategy to defend against the enemy, don't worry, I don't want to die!" ”

"What can you do to ward off the enemy?" , Peng Yue also didn't believe Zhao Hong's words, he felt that Zhao Hong was comforting himself to a certain extent, because someone had to stay.

In fact, Peng Yue's guess was probably right, no one would be so stupid as to not be able to distinguish between danger and safety, and no one would be so coarse as to not be able to distinguish the difference between life and death, they were just the death of those who were confidants. Peng Yue promoted Zhao Hong from a centurion to a little general, how could Zhao Hong not admire it in his heart?

Since Zhao Hong got along with Peng Yue, he could feel the awe-inspiring righteousness in Peng Yue, and he could also feel his kindness to himself. Although sometimes he would shout at himself, it was all a rude way of getting along, and Zhao Hong didn't care. If one day Peng Yue is really asked to speak kindly and softly to himself, I am afraid that he will not be used to it.

"My lord, aren't we going to set up an ambush? If there is a powerful enough ambush at the south gate, the Tartars will not dare to catch up rashly for a while...", Zhao Hong's words are also reasonable, after prior analysis, he feels that he may not be able to escape, if it is really a mortal ending, he really has to hesitate for a while just now...

"Well, since that's the case, then you will lead a team of soldiers to defend against the enemy at the south gate...", Peng Yue sighed and gave Zhao Hong a big hug, "You must escape safely, I will invite you to eat and drink when the time comes..."

"Good!" , Zhao Hong was hugged by Peng Yue, and he was a little embarrassed, "Don't forget this promise, my lord!" ”

"Well, I won't forget!" , Peng Yue nodded heavily.

"That's... My lord, I'll go first. After making this decision, Zhao Hong also felt a cloud of spirit in his chest, only to see him step on the horse, wave his hand at Peng Yue, and leave.

When Zhao Hong came to the south gate, he found that there were indeed a lot of Tartar soldiers gathered here, probably because they felt that this was the direction of the south, and the people in the city should be the most likely to break through from here.

After seeing Zhao Hong dismount, he ordered the soldiers to still try to defend the city, and at the same time told another team of soldiers to dig a pit at the south gate and set up an ambush.

Soon, under the command of Zhao Hong, the soldiers dug a lot of pits at the south gate, and buried a lot of thistles, iron thistles, Zeng's mines and other things in the pits.

A tripwire was set up not far behind the pit to prevent the corpses from filling the pit, and the Tartars jumped over on horseback, and finally brought down a cannon from the city, ready to deal a fatal blow to the Tartars and create an opportunity for themselves to escape.

It was getting dark, torches were lit on the city, and more and more Tartar soldiers gathered at the south gate. Because of the unusually fierce counterattack at the south gate, the Tartars expected that the Ming army in the city would choose to break through at the south gate. And this is also the result that Zhao Hong wants.

At the east gate, Peng Yue had already sent someone to deliver the news that he would soon be able to break through, so Zhao Hong's counterattack here became more ferocious. Wooden skulls, flying torches and other equipment to defend the city are as if they don't need money, and they are smashed downward, and the number of deaths in the Tartars is also increasing.

Looking at the corpses of the Tartar soldiers piled higher and higher under the city, Zhao Hong couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but when he saw that there were fewer and fewer Ming soldiers on the city, his heart was a little sour. As the saying goes, if you hurt the enemy a thousand, you will lose 800 yourself, although you don't have so many casualties, but they are all brothers who are usually born and die, how can Zhao Hong not feel uncomfortable in his heart?

"General Zhao, the equipment to defend the city... It's almost running out...", a centurion reported to Zhao Hong.

"It's okay, it's best to run out of them!" , Zhao Hong didn't hide his purpose at this time, "Set up the cannon on the head of the city, and shoot all the shells for me, but don't waste it, hit it in a crowded place, and strive to blow up the cannon!" When all the stone cannon carts are gone, throw them directly at me, and then you will go down to the city and flee to the east gate, remember, you must not mess up! ”

The centurion also understood what Zhao Hong meant at this time, he knew that the harder the Tartar was beaten at this time, the easier it would be to escape, so after going to the city wall, there was no longer any meaning to cherish the cannonballs.

By the time the last shell of the cannon on the city wall was gone, the cannon had not yet exploded, so the centurion directly raised the cannon and smashed it down the city, and the stone cannon cart had the same fate.

After suffering such a fierce attack, the Tartar soldiers under the city were very cowardly and did not dare to charge. But when they saw that the Ming army even threw down the artillery cart, their hearts suddenly felt relieved: they were going to abandon the city and escape, kill!

Just as they were about to launch a more fierce attack, they found that the Ming army on the city wall had withdrawn, and at this moment, the south gate was slowly opened!

They're really going to run away! The Tartar soldiers were agitated again, but when they saw that the Ming troops who opened the city gate had withdrawn, they were puzzled again: What's going on?

It must have seen that there were so many of us that they didn't dare to rush hard! At this time, the Tartars didn't care about thinking too much, and after passively suffocating under the city gate for so long, there was naturally a fire in their hearts, so at this time they excitedly brandished their sabers and rushed towards the city.

But when they entered the city gates, they found that the nightmare had just begun. The large pit dug in advance caused many Tartar soldiers who rushed in advance to die here, and even if they did not fall to their deaths, the mines in the pit or something, plus the trampling of the follow-up cavalry, had already killed them.

Further on, there were tripstrings, thistles, and before they could catch their breath, the rain of arrows and artillery blows cost all their survivors their lives.

There is an ambush! The Tartar soldiers shouted and did not dare to move forward, but who knew that in this dusty place, the Ming troops in the city had already rushed towards the east gate.

At this time, Peng Yue had already led a part of the army to rush out of the east gate and rushed to the escape road. Although the Tartars were killed a lot, there were still many people who pursued them, so will this escape be smooth? Peng Yue didn't know... (To be continued.) )
