Chapter 281: The Battle of Tanma

Zarba led the 3,000 troops allocated to him by the first division and marched to Dongbali Fort overnight. /Top/Point/Novel. After running non-stop all night, in the early morning of the next day, everyone finally couldn't stay up, and the three commanders complained one after another, so Zarba had to order to rest on the spot, and the horse did not remove the saddle, and the armor did not leave the body to bury the pot and cook. Everyone knew that they had entered the interior of the Southern Barbarians, and there were unknown black-clothed troops waiting for them, so they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they had to obediently obey the order, turn over and dismount, let the horses go, fetch water, and bury the pot to make rice.

Zarba looked at the busy figures of everyone, and couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness in his heart. Although there were 3,000 men in hand, none of them were from their own tribe. There were a thousand people in front of him who were from their own tribe, maybe they were fighting bloody battles with the Southern Barbarian army at this time, and they wanted to take these three thousand people to catch up quickly, but when he insisted on moving forward, the three thousand commanders retreated with cold eyes and indignant tones......

Zalba's worries are becoming a reality, and the thousand-man team that was used as a horse scout is falling into the trap of Hou Xingyu's horse scouting team at this time.

Hou Xingyu originally thought that the army was blocked in Shenjing Fort and would definitely let go of the horses. It's a big release, but who knows that it's a team of 1,000 people. If you hadn't been careful and let a group of people fifty miles ahead, maybe your horse exploration team would have been swallowed by them to the point that there was not even a slag left. I was injured more than a dozen in Yanluozhuang last time, and now I am still lying in the Datong Field Hospital, where can the remaining dozen or so people stop this thousand-person team. But fortunately, there are a few mines hanging on all the horses and horses, hehe, I can't let this thousand-person team spare hundreds of lives!

Hou Xingyu stood on the side of the official road and frowned, looking at the ravine on the left. More than a dozen members of the horse exploration team hurriedly planted mines on the official road of Monkey Mountain. After the group of people who were released returned. He sent the two out to monitor the thousand-man team, and everyone else acted urgently.

This monkey mountain official road. On the left is a ravine, the water is not deep, and on the right is a cliff in Monkey Mountain, which is the most suitable for laying mines. Hou Xingyu has long been aiming here. However, there is one thing that worries Hou Xingyu, that is, he is afraid that when the thunder sounds, the people of the watts will rush down the official road and walk from the ravine. There is water in the ravine. He didn't dare to lay mines, this thing is good, it's useless when he sees water. The instructor said. Water resistance is not good! If the Varspurs all run forward from the ravine, it will be really difficult to get it! Is there any way to stop the Watters from going through the ditch?

Hou Xingyu visually inspected the ravine, which was three or four zhang wide, and the horses wanted to cross this ravine to the opposite side. It's unlikely! Moreover, the opposite side is full of thorns. Even on the other side of the river, it is not so easy to climb up, and the rocks are like dogs' teeth. It seems that it is enough to stop the Watters from descending into the ravine, or to prevent them from going down the ravine. If there is water in the ravine, you can't bury mines, so how can you stop it?

After burying the thunder, more than a dozen brothers saw that Hou Xingyu was still frowning by the ditch, and couldn't help but surround him.

"Tell me how to stop the Wattle from coming out of the ravine?" Seeing that the brothers were all around, Hou Xingyu looked at the official road. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he put his mind at ease. But when he thought of the loophole in the ravine, he couldn't help but ask, after all, the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang.

"That's what it is!" A big man said loudly, and after finishing speaking, he woke up when he saw that everyone's eyes were wrong, and he said hesitantly: "Oh, there is water in the ditch, there is water, and you can't bury mines." ”

The crowd was silent.

Hou Xingyu was also nerve-wracked, turned to look at the ravine, and muttered, "What should I do?" You can't let the Wattle Dog run forward from the ditch, right? In that case, except for the first one on the road, which can explode, won't the thunder behind it be buried in vain? ”

"Captain......," a weak voice sounded.

"What?" Hou Xingyu frowned, turned around impatiently, and looked at Zhao San, the weakest in the horse exploration team. Zhao San is the smallest, the worst equestrian, and the weakest member of his horse exploration team, if he hadn't cleaned his gun and loaded the fastest, he really wouldn't have been selected in the first place.

Seeing Hou Xingyu's impatient face, Zhao San couldn't help but shrink his neck, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

The big man who was laughed at just now glared at him and said, "Zhao San, let it go if you have a fart!" Don't hide it, no one will pity you if you are suffocated! ”

Zhao San's face flushed, and he was also a little annoyed, gritted his teeth and said, "Captain, I think you can use grenades!" ”

"With a grenade? Haha, Zhao San, why don't you stay and shake the grenade? The big man laughed and said, "There are a thousand thorn dogs, and each of them will drown you with a mouthful of phlegm, grenades?" You can't even shake it off! ”

Hou Xingyu saw Zhao San say that he used a grenade, and couldn't help but be a little curious, how did this guy think of using a grenade? Could it be that his brothers always tease him, he can't think about it, and is willing to stay and throw grenades and die for his country?

Zhao San couldn't stand the teasing of the big man, and hurriedly blushed and shouted, "Just use a grenade!" Lao Tzu doesn't need to keep people to blow up the tile thorn dog! ”

"What?! Don't need to keep people? The big man couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Zhao San, come on, do you think you are an immortal?" Do you think ......"

Hou Xingyu raised his hand, stopped the big man's words, nodded, and said, "Maybe Zhao San will become an immortal." As long as he can come up with a good way, he is a living immortal in our team! ”

As soon as he heard this, the big man immediately stopped talking and didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhao San couldn't help but be stunned and looked at Hou Xingyu.

Hou Xingyu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Zhao, Hou knows that you have a good brain, tell me, how to use grenades to bury these thorn dogs in the ravine?" ”

Zhao San's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took out a grenade from his waist, pointed to the pull ring on it and said, "Captain, we can hide the grenade in the ravine, tie the pull ring with a thin rope, and pull the string horizontally in the ravine to make a tripping horse rope!" ”

As soon as he heard this, the big man couldn't help blurting out: "My mother, this method is really godly!" ”

Hou Xingyu laughed, slapped Zhao San on the shoulder, and praised: "Brother Zhao San, you are really a living immortal of our team!" This time, I will take your first credit! ”

Zhao San stumbled, and when he thought of the first achievement, he suddenly smiled.

Hou Xingyu waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, act!" Do what the three brothers Zhao said! Brother Zhao, you go and lead the horse, go to the front and wait for us! ”

The crowd complied with the promise and slipped from the shore into the ravine.

Zhao San pursed his mouth, knowing that the captain saw that he was small, so he gave himself a light job. But I always have a feeling that others have deprived me of my idea, but when I think of the military regulations, I know that I can't escape the first merit, so I finally laughed and went to lead the horse......

Tong Hang and Jin Liang walked out of Dongbali Fort and came outside. The Flying Eagle Army and the Guards Battalion were already waiting in line, and Captain Qi and his men were also waiting beside him.

Tong Hang beckoned to Qi Wuchang, Qi Wuchang hurriedly trotted over, and was about to kneel down to salute, when he suddenly remembered the emperor's strict order, hurriedly straightened his waist, clenched his fists and said, "What does the instructor command?" ”

Tong Hang nodded and said, "Chief Qi Wu, we have been repairing in Dongbali Fort for two days, and it is estimated that this afternoon, the tile spur soldiers will come to your East Bali Fort, you should set off to Xuanfu now and inform Lord Luo of the military situation of the tile spur soldiers coming here." ”

Qi Wu hurriedly agreed.

Tong Hang took a letter from Jin Liang and handed it to Chief Qi Wu.

Qi Wu hurriedly picked it up with both hands, put it away and put it in his arms.

"This is the operational deployment transferred by the Ministry of War, please hand it over to Lord Luo!" Seeing Qi Wu's promise, Tong Hang waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”

Qi Wuchang hurriedly bowed and retreated, returned to his own army, got on his horse and took his own people, and left.

Tong Hang retracted his gaze, turned his head to Jin Liang and said, "I don't know what happened to Hou Xingyu and them." ”

Jin Liang hurriedly said: "Instructor don't worry, Hou Xingyu is very shrewd, and he will definitely be able to detect the enemy's situation and return safely." ”

Tong Hang nodded, turned his head to look in the direction of the grassland, pondered for a moment, and said, "Hou Xingyu is easy to dodge with few people, so don't worry about safety." It's just that Zhao Qixuan's kid is isolated on the grassland, I don't know where they are implementing the plan now? ”

When Jin Liang heard the emperor say this, he was also worried, and said, "Yes, Zhao Qixuan only brought two thousand people. ”

Tong Hang shook his head and said, "I also brought all the men and horses on the grassland to the Ming border first, presumably there should not be many soldiers on the grassland who can fight." There are a lot of 2,000 people, and they should be able to protect themselves, but it may be difficult to end the supply of the big tribes, after all, the big tribes like the Horqin Department and the Oirat Department have a large population, although the tribes are full of old and young women and children, there are still some guards and disabled veterans, and it is still very difficult to get rid of their grain, grass, cattle and sheep. ”

Jin Liang nodded and said, "Instructor don't worry, according to the information fed back by the Intelligence Bureau, Zhao Qixuan and the others attacked the first few times they were just some small tribes that were attached to these big tribes. ”

"I'm worried that they will attack most of Korqin and Oirat, but the main headquarters of those major departments can't be moved, and their other parts can be attacked! After all, their other divisions are much smaller in number than in the main division! ”

Jin Liang thought about it, but he didn't know how the Intelligence Bureau would judge, and now that the information was transmitted, it was estimated that it would be too late.

"Let them beg for their own blessings, I hope that kid Zhao Qixuan can gain insight into my intentions!" Tong Hang turned his head to Jin Liang and said, "Forget it, we'll still take care of our own business!" Let's go to Fort Earth! With that, he flew on his horse.

Jin Liang hurriedly flew on the horse and shouted: "Get on the horse!" Let's go! Target Civil Fort! ”

The soldiers of the Flying Eagle Army and the Guards Battalion, their armor sounded, and after finishing their horses, the team slowly started and marched towards the civil fort......

At this time, Zhao Qixuan, who was carrying 2,000 horses and horses, was hiding in a sparse woods, using the binoculars unloaded from his sniper rifle, and excitedly looking at the Horqin Beibu in the distance.

The lights were lit up, and outside the tent of laughter and laughter, there were piles of bonfires. This is another part of Horqin, the heroic marshal Luo Tuo is following their first division to burn and loot on the border of the Ming Dynasty, they never expected that there is an army in the Ming Dynasty that has been eyeing their homeland......
