A day passed in a hurry, and sure enough, the Ming army still only walked forward for less than five miles, as if it was unwilling to step into Luyugou. However, the sappers who opened the road before the Ming army seemed to be very conscientious, and they were very patient in smashing large stones into small stones to fill in the large potholes on the road that had been washed away by the flood, and then picking up water and soil from both sides to level the road, as if they were going to build a thoroughfare.

"Father, don't wait for them, let's do it first." Bi Chengen said to Bi Bai for the last time. After eating cold food for three days in a row, he couldn't stand it anymore. The Ming army marched openly, and when the time came, they would bury the pot and make rice, and eat hot soup and rice. Because the Bibai army was an ambush and could not expose its whereabouts, they did not dare to light a fire and could only eat dry food. If it drags on like this for a few more days, I'm afraid that if I don't have to fight, the other party will consume myself.

Bibai nodded and said, "Perhaps, Xiao Ruxun may have really sensed our intentions, maybe our whereabouts have already been discovered by the scouts he sent, so he will use this method to drag us down." Let's give him a plan. ”

From the psychology of Bibai, he would prefer to annihilate Xiao Ruyan's army in Luyugou. But Xiao Ruxun's march was slow, and the team was divided into several sections, putting on a step-by-step formation, and it was not easy for Bi Bai to fight this kind of unexpected ambush battle. In this case, it is also a way to let Bi Chengen take the initiative to attack, defeat Xiao Ruxun's forward troops, and frustrate Xiao Ruxun's sharpness.

With Bibai's permission, Bi Chengen returned to the team. took the 1,000 elite soldiers selected by himself, and quietly touched in the direction of Baiyanggou where the Ming army's vanguard was stationed.

Because the Ming army has already arrived at Baiyanggou. Naturally, Bi Chengen and his party could no longer ride forward. They abandoned their horses, avoided the main road, crossed the ridge on foot, came to the side of Baiyang Gully, and then gradually approached the place where the Ming army was encamped.

Across a hillside, the soldiers of the Bibai Army could already see the cooking smoke wafting from the camp of the Ming army, and the smoke seemed to have a faint fragrance of food, which made the Bibai soldiers salivate. They wanted to climb the hill right away. Storm into the Ming camp, kill all the enemies, and then steal their provisions.

But Bi Chengen knew that they had only 1,000 men and no horses, and that in order to storm a camp of 3,000 people, they had to ensure the suddenness of the attack. Win in chaos. To do this, the only way to do this was to set the time of the attack at night and wait for the Ming soldiers to fall asleep before attacking.

Bi Chengen asked the soldiers to lie in ambush behind the hillside and seize the time to rest. He climbed to the top of the hillside with a few people, under the cover of trees. Holding a telescope to observe the movement of the Ming army camp.

In the camp at the foot of the mountain, the soldiers of the Ming army were doing their work in an orderly manner, not noticing that the danger was approaching. The camp of the Ming army was arranged in accordance with the requirements of the standard drill code, with the large tent of the Chinese army in the middle and the camp tent of the soldiers next to it. On the periphery of the perimeter is a deer bar, guarded by a sentry a few steps away.

In front of the big battalion. Nearly a thousand sappers were diligently building the road, flanked by sentries who were in charge of watching and guarding, each with their spears in their spears, apparently believing that the enemy would only emerge from the front. All indications are that the Ming army fixed the focus of the defense directly in front of the main battalion, and although there was also defense on the sides and rear, it looked much more lax.

"The Ming army didn't think we could come around from the side." Bi Chengen said proudly to his subordinates.

"That's it, the little prince uses soldiers, how can these ordinary people guess?" Bagen, who was following Bi Chengen, hurriedly flattered.

Bi Chengen said: "Their weakness lies in the lack of geographical advantages. They thought that there were cliffs on both sides of Baiyang Gully, and there was no way out. Little did we know that we could find a way through this cliff and go around their flank. ”

Bagen laughed wildly: "I guess when we suddenly rush down, the Ming army still doesn't know where we came from, hahahaha." ”

"Shut up!" Bi Chengen lowered his voice and scolded, "You want to report to the Ming army, right?" ”

"This ......" Bagen knew that he had lost his temper, fortunately, the place where they stayed was still some distance from the Ming army camp, and the sound could not be heard, otherwise it would really be like what Bi Chengen said, and reported to the Ming army.

"When the order goes down, no one is allowed to speak out or show his head. Everyone eats something, rests, and rushes to camp at the third watch. Bi Chengen gave the order.

It was getting dark, and the wind was blowing in the mountains, and with a chill, it pierced into the bones of the soldiers of the Bibai Army. However, everyone had a fire hidden in their hearts, thinking that they could immediately defeat the Ming army and grab countless supplies, everyone was a little impatient.

In the camp of the Ming army under the mountain, piles of bonfires were lit. At first, you can see the soldiers of the Ming army eating and chatting around the campfire. Afterwards, the Ming soldiers returned to their tents in formation, leaving only a few sentries patrolling around the camp.

"Obey my orders, the first team, led by Bagan, approached the Ming camp and shot the sentries with bows and arrows. Then each team lit torches at the same time to charge, set fire to the camp, and took advantage of the chaos to kill the Ming army. Bi Chengen knelt on the top of the hill and said to the officers.

"Order!"

"Little prince, rest assured, we will never let go of a Ming army!"

The officers agreed, organized their soldiers, and quietly walked down the mountain according to Bi Chengen's instructions. These soldiers are also worthy of being the elite of the Worship Army, and they usually look like they are in good hands, but when they are about to fight, they also seem to be well-trained. They raised their legs high and landed lightly, and thousands of people walked down the hillside without hearing any sound.

Bi Chengen followed the last team and also attacked down the mountain. With a steel knife in his hand, he listened to the movements around him with his ears pricked up, ready to deal with all kinds of contingencies.

500 steps, 400 steps, 300 steps......

As the first group of soldiers led by Bagan got closer and closer to the camp, Bagan raised his hand, waved the white handkerchief in his hand, and signaled his men to prepare to take out their bows and arrows. At this moment, he saw a sudden flash of red light next to him, followed by a loud sound like the sky and the earth cracking:

"Boom!"

With the dazzling light of fire and the pungent smell of smoke, a dozen soldiers of the Bibai Army suddenly flew up, dirt, blood, and stumps splattering in all directions.

"Not good!"

Bagan had a buzz in his head, he was too familiar with this kind of explosion, only the gunpowder unique to the Kanyu camp could produce such a terrible explosion, and the ordinary black powder in the Ming army did not have this kind of power.

The explosion on the hillside sounded like a signal. Torches as dense as stars suddenly lit up around the Ming army camp, and countless Ming soldiers appeared in front of the Bibai army as if they had been called out from the ground, and the shouts of killing shook the valley.

"The Ming army is ready, withdraw quickly!" Even if Bagan's brain is not bright, he knows that not only did he not succeed in the sneak attack, but also fell into the ambush of the opponent. He didn't know that the explosion just now was because his soldiers had touched a mine laid by the Ming army, but he understood that the Ming army not only guessed that they would come to steal the camp, but even knew the direction in which they were stealing the camp.

In other words, when they thought they had a plan and lay in ambush behind the hillside waiting for a sneak attack at night, the Ming army had already discovered them and laid a trap, waiting for them to drill into it.

"The traitor is gone!" The Ming army below shouted and rushed up the hillside.

"Run, we're in ambush!" The Beyers shouted in chaos and fled backwards.

"Bastard, stop it! Don't be afraid, the brave wins! Fight with the Ming army! Bi Chengen arrived in time, and when he saw this situation, he knew that if he retreated blindly like this, it would inevitably be the end of the rout. At this time, only by resisting first, withstanding the momentum of the Ming army's charge, and then slowly retreating, can there be a way to live.

Hearing the order of the commander, the soldiers of the Bibai army had no choice but to turn around again, pick up their weapons, and form a group of hedgehogs, ready to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army that rushed up.

But the Ming army on the opposite side did not intend to engage in a reciprocal fight with the Bibai army, they rushed to a place about a hundred paces away from the Bibai army, and stopped. Behind a platoon of spearmen, a group of shooters armed with muskets flashed, and an officer, holding a small red flag, began to give orders.

"The Ming army has a firecracker, flash quickly!" The soldiers of the Bibai Army, who had just been stopped by Bi Chengen, shouted again, and what they were most afraid of was the firearms of the Ming army. I just stepped on a mine, and now I see the Ming army putting up a lineup of musket shooting, where do you still have the courage to fight.

"Slam!"

The muskets of the Ming army rang out, and a dense stream of bullets flew towards the Bibai army on the hillside. In the darkness, the musketeers of the Ming army could not aim accurately, they only knew how to shoot directly in front of them, and whether they could hit or not depended on the luck of the Bibai army.

"Ahh

"Ouch!"

Screams rang out from the hillside, apparently someone had been shot indiscriminately. There were some sparse trees on the hillside, but they were not large enough to cover the Beys soldiers. In fact, there were not many soldiers who were really hit by the Ming army, but that inexplicable sense of fear quickly spread to the entire department of Bi Chengen.

"Quickly retreat, little prince, while it is dark, the Ming army will not dare to catch up." Bagan pleaded with Bi Chengen.

Hiding behind a large rock, he poked his head out to take a look and assess the situation. He saw that the musketeers of the Ming army were numerous and extremely fierce. Although the distance between the two armies was only 100 paces, if their own troops were to rush through this distance, they would probably have to lose at least one or two percent of their troops.

Even if he can rush in front of the enemy, with the current state of his officers and soldiers, he will not make much advantage by engaging the opponent in close combat. The sneak attack failed, and his side had already bruised his spirit. The other party is waiting for work, the momentum is flourishing, and the strength of the army is also three times that of his own, this rush forward, if it is not done, it will be the end of the annihilation of the whole army.

"Withdraw!" Thinking of this, Bi Chengen had no choice but to grit his teeth and give the order to retreat.
