Chapter 99: The Strongest Army
In front of the Ming army.
The menacing Korqin cavalry retreated like a tide, and the Ming musketeers repelled the first attack of the Korqin without paying a single casualty, and the victory came so easily that the musketeers lined up in front of the camp cheered one after another, and a huge wave resounded through the night sky.
These 1,000 musketeers were all veterans from Datong Town, and before that, these veteran ruffians had lost too many battles, they had lost to the thieves, they had lost to the Jiannu, they had lost to the Mongols, they had lost everything they could, they had lost what they couldn't, they had lost until they had lost all their confidence, they had lost until they thought they should have lost the battle, but they should not have won the battle...... But now, the minds of these veteran ruffians are changing little by little, and their confidence is recovering little by little, because they are starting to win battles again, and since they followed Wang Pu to Saiwai, they have fought several battles with the Mongols, and they have won them all, and they have won beautifully!
A faint smile appeared on Wang Pu's face.
There was no torch in front of the battle, Wang Pu couldn't see the excited expressions of the soldiers, but he could hear the voice!
What Wang Pu needs is this effect, he wants to strengthen the confidence of these veteran ruffians and horse thieves little by little through continuous victories, and he wants to convince them that they are the most powerful army in the world, and they can defeat any enemy if they want to!
I don't know when, the bearded man came to Wang Pu, laughed and said: "General, the people of Horqin are too fucking unbeaten, and the brothers haven't beaten yet, so they can't do it, hahaha......"
Wang Pu smiled silently.
The Horqin cavalry may not be as strong as their ancestors, but they will never be as weak as the bearded man thought, if it weren't for Wang Pu's early preparation and let Tang Sheng dig a trap in front of the camp, if it weren't for the fact that the Horqin cavalry had just gone through a long march and was already sleepy and lacking horses, this battle would not have been so easy even if the Ming army could win.
"Don't rejoice too soon." Wang Pu said indifferently, "The Horqin people are about to attack again." ”
"Come on, let them all let the horses come." The bearded man's eyes showed murderous intent in his eyes, and he said in a cruel voice, "If you come to a thousand, we will kill a thousand, and if you come to ten thousand, we will kill ten thousand, hehehe, make sure they come and go!" ”
Wang Pu showed a satisfied smile on his face, and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Lu Liu." ”
Lu Liu hurriedly walked up to Wang Pu and responded, "Yes." ”
Wang Pu said: "Let's go." ”
"Let's go?" Lu Liu was stunned and said, "Where are you going?" ”
No wonder Lu Liu was puzzled, seeing that the second attack of the Horqin people was about to begin, where was Wang Pu going when he was not sitting on the front line at this time?
"Where are you going?" Wang Pu said indifferently, "Go back to the account and sleep!" ”
"What? Sleep...... Go to bed!? ”
Lu Liu thought to himself that if the general didn't say something wrong, he must have heard it wrong, how could the general be in the mood to sleep at this time? Besides, the general shouldn't sleep.
But Lu Liuzhen heard it right, and Wang Pu didn't say it wrong, he was indeed going back to sleep.
There is no suspense in the battle, although the Horqin cavalry occupies the advantage of troops, but they are sleepy and lack of horses, and they have little combat effectiveness, coupled with their superstitious guerrilla tactics left by their ancestors, they have always refused to devote all their forces to launch a full attack, and it is enough to deal with the bearded 1,000 muskets.
As for Monk Zhang's side, it was even more fine, more than five hundred bandits attacking the empty Khan Court was just a piece of cake.
Wang Pu took a few steps forward, and suddenly turned back to Lu Liu and said, "Go and inform Scarface and Tang Sheng again, let their people also hurry up and sleep, and break through tomorrow to take the lead." ”
"Yes."
Lu Liu answered and took the order.
■■■
The top of the mountain, the Korqin Khanting.
In addition to the big tent of the Khan of Ukshan, there are dozens of tents of the Horqin nobles, which surround the big tent of Ukshan like the stars and the moon, and there are hundreds of low yurts scattered around the periphery of the tents of the nobles, which are the camps of 200 guards and 3,000 iron guards.
In addition to these, there are many warehouses on the top of the hill for storing grain and weapons, and the entire Khan court is in fact a military fortress with heavy troops, if it is not for the rescue of the Tumuts who transferred 3,000 iron guards, with Wang Pu's less than 4,000 cavalry, it may not be able to break through the Korqin Khan's court.
However, such an assumption no longer makes sense, because the Khan's court is about to be breached!
"Kill!"
The black tiger shouted, the waist knife in his hand rushed up like lightning, and a Horqin guard guarding the car couldn't dodge, only to hear the sound of "pop", the entire abdominal cavity of the Horqin guard was dissected, and the cut gap was white flesh, and the blood had not yet flowed out, and the internal organs and intestines in the abdominal cavity had already flowed down.
The Korqin guard screamed in a terrible manner, hurriedly abandoned the scimitar in his hand, and hurriedly tried to stuff the guts and intestines that had flowed out of his body back into his stomach, but before he could put the guts and intestines that had flowed out of his body, the boundless darkness had swallowed him up, and then he fell straight down from the carriage with his head tilted.
"Well done!"
Monk Zhang let out a loud shout and jumped into the carriage.
Before Monk Zhang could stand firm, the two Horqin guards had already pounced with their scimitars.
The cold light flickered, and the two scimitars had already slashed towards Monk Zhang's neck, Monk Zhang's figure shrank down, the sharp blade almost brushed against his head, and the waist knife in Monk Zhang's hand slashed out, and the two Horqin guards who rushed over had been cut into four pieces.
The next moment, Heipi, Cheng Yu and a few other generals jumped on the car wall, and the Horqin guards guarding the car wall couldn't resist it, and were soon cut down and retreated, these guards can be called one in a hundred warriors among the Horqin people, but compared with Monk Zhang, Black Tiger, and Cheng Jie, these loud horse thieves, the martial arts are far behind!
Monk Zhang suddenly looked up and saw two stone mounds ten steps away, two short and thick mortars were erected on the stone mounds, and the two Horqin guards were about to point the lead with torches, Monk Zhang was taken aback, turned around and shouted: "Lao Cheng, kill those two gunners, quick!" ”
"Yes!"
Cheng Cheng responded, shook his hand is two darts, but unfortunately he was still half a step slow, before his darts shot through the throats of the two Horqin gunners, the fuses of the two mortars had been ignited, and the leads of the mortars were sparkling with dazzling sparks, and they burned into the barrels of the cannons, and then there were two loud "booms".
Two clusters of flames shot out from the huge muzzle of the mortar cannon, and passed through the dense Ming army formation like lightning, and all the Ming soldiers who blocked the way of these two groups of flames broke their limbs and split their bodies in an instant, and these two flames were like two sharp blood plows, plowing out two bloody roads in the Ming army formation...... An extremely terrible scream suddenly sounded from behind him, and when Monk Zhang looked back hurriedly, he saw that his good brother Black Tiger was looking up to the sky and howling, and the upper body of the Black Tiger was "standing" on the carriage, holding the knife in both hands and still in a chopping posture, but his lower body had disappeared completely.
Behind the black tiger, a brother's hands clasped the car wall, posing as a climb over the car wall, but the head on his neck was gone, and behind the brother, more brothers with broken arms and legs were already lying in pools of blood, and one of the most unlucky brothers even had a big hole in his chest, apparently not alive.
Because of the crowding, these two cannons caused a lot of casualties to the Ming army, including the black tiger, seventeen brothers were killed directly, more than 30 people lost arms and legs and became crippled, and two brothers were blinded by the fire, and one brother was shocked to deafness, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
"Black Tiger!" Monk Zhang grabbed the upper half of the black tiger's body and cried loudly, "Black tiger, don't fucking die, you still owe Lao Tzu a drink!" ”
Black Tiger has grown up with Monk Zhang since he was a child, and the two have a very deep relationship, which can be said to be closer than brothers.
"Old ...... Top dog. The black tiger turned his head with some difficulty, the corners of his mouth were already foaming with blood, but a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said in a slurred voice, "Brother...... Brothers ...... first Let's go first...... Don't, don't forget to bring your brother back, go home, uh......"
The black tiger sighed softly, and his raised head was gently drooped.
Monk Zhang gently put half of the body of the black tiger on the ground, and when he stood up again, his eyes had become red, Huo Ran turned his head and stared at the Sulu ingot spear on the top of the Horqin Khan's tent, and roared hoarsely: "Brothers, listen to Lao Tzu, kill all these Mongolians raised by bitches, and leave no one behind!" ”
"Kill!"
"Fuck these bitches!"
"Lao Tzu fought with you, kill ......"
The death of the brothers of life and death completely inspired the wild surname of this gang of horse thieves, and under the leadership of Monk Zhang, they launched a crazy attack on Horqin's car formation, and the car formation that the Horqin people had struggled to support was soon smashed by the crazy horse thieves, and in less than a moment, Bart and his two hundred guards had been completely killed.
Monk Zhang, who was killed, took the remaining more than 400 brothers to rush into the Khan court of the Horqin people like wolves, they killed people when they saw people, smashed things when they saw them, and burned yurts when they saw them, and soon, this group of crazy beasts rushed to the front of Ukshan's sweat tent, and Ukshan was trying to surrender out of the tent, but he was cut off by Monk Zhang.
The remaining Horqin nobles and more than a dozen concubines of Ukshan scattered and fled, and were also chased and hacked to death, and the Sanbulachuan Khanate, which had been operated by the Horqin Department for many years, was destroyed in this way, and many rare antiques and valuable calligraphy and painting collections that were stolen from the Central Plains in the Khan's court were also burned.
■■■
The next time, when Wang Pu woke up, he was already on the third pole.
As soon as Wang Pu walked out of the tent neatly, he saw Lu Liuzheng arguing with Scarface and Tang Sheng, Scarface and Tang Sheng arguing to see Wang Pu, but Lu Liu stopped them from seeing him, and said that Wang Pu had given a military order, even if the sky fell, he was not allowed to disturb him to sleep, and letting the two of them go was to disobey the military order!
"What's the noise?" Wang Pu stretched his waist and said angrily, "I woke up the good dreams of General Ben." ”
"General, you're awake." Scarface and Tang Sheng hurriedly greeted him, and said in a loud voice, "If you go back to sleep, something will happen." ”
"Something big?" Wang Pu swung his waist and moved his muscles, and said indifferently, "What's wrong?" Is the sky falling? ”
Scarface said: "The sky hasn't fallen, it's a monk." ”
"What's wrong with the monk?"
"The monk took his people to find the Horqin people desperately!"
"Desperate?" Wang Puhuoran turned around and asked, "Why?" ”
Scar's face showed a gloomy color, and he bowed his head and responded: "Seventeen brothers were killed by artillery during the attack on the mountain last night, and the monk's good brother Heihu also died, and more than thirty brothers were injured and disabled, and the monk's eyes were red, and there was not a single living mouth left on the mountain!" After finishing and cremating the bodies of the black tigers, they were pounded until dawn, and when everyone thought they were fine, the monk took people down the mountain to find the Horqin people desperately. ”
Wang Pu was furious and said: "It's understandable that a monk wants to be a brother, but why don't you stop him?" ”
"We stopped it." Scarface shouted, "But you can't stop him, if you stop him again, he'll have to find us desperately." ”
"Then why didn't you come and report earlier?"
"We wanted to report it earlier, but Lu Liu, the bastard, won't let it."
"Alright, don't say anything." Wang Pu shouted in a deep voice, "How long has the monk taken people there?" ”
"It wasn't long before I went." Scarface said as he pointed his finger in front of him and said, "Look, General, this is not just done. ”
When Wang Pu hurriedly looked back, he saw that a group of more than 700 cavalry had rushed into the middle of the cavalry of the Horqin people, and the Horqin people obviously did not expect that the Ming army would suddenly launch a counterattack in the early morning, and they were not well prepared, and the thousands of cavalry gathered in a hurry were actually rushed into chaos by these more than 700 cavalry.
