Chapter 567 There is a trap and an ambush

"Die! Still alive! Li Sanhe puffed up. Somehow, he suddenly came up with this very philosophical sentence.

"My lord! What do you command? The soldiers behind Li Sanhe didn't hear this sentence clearly, so they immediately stepped forward and asked in a whisper.

"Nothing!" Li Sanhe waved his hand. Tonight was too smooth, which made Li Sanhe a little uneasy.

All the people behind didn't dare to make any noise, they were all waiting in place, there was really no one in this position, and the company commander of Cheng Niu's company was really a little excited.

Cheng Niu and their prostrate past side was calm, during which there was a patrol of the peasant army passing by here, Cheng Niu and they were lying on the ground, lest they be discovered. finally touched the edge of the camp fence, which is indeed too sloppy. Because of the terrain, there was not even a trench dug, and there was not even a warning measure, it was completely empty.

"It should have arrived, but the thieves didn't find out." A personal soldier beside Li Sanhe said.

The distance was so far away, Li Sanhe and the others would definitely not be able to see Cheng Niu's movements, so they counted and estimated the distance of Cheng Niu's movements. And the personal soldier was in charge of counting, and he calculated according to the speed prescribed by the Runing army's ambush, and estimated that the soldiers who were crawling forward should have reached the fence of the peasant army.

Moreover, the camp of the peasant army was becoming quieter and quieter, and it seemed that the other party had not noticed it at all, and if such a night attack had been discovered, it would have been a noisy and commotionous affair. So the longer this quiet time, the greater the hope.

Cheng Niu suppressed the excitement in their hearts, tied the rope in their hands to the camp fence, and made a dead buckle, and several people connected the ropes in their hands together, and trotted back to the team. A follow-up man had already followed and picked up the ropes. At this distance, a soldier's rope was not enough.

Several strands of rope were connected to a sufficient length by the soldiers of the Runing Army. Cheng Niu's company commander whispered several orders, and the ropes attached to the camp fence were all tied to the horses.

Another soldier ran back to Li Sanhe and reported to him that the front was ready. All the soldiers of the Runing Army drew their weapons, and some of them got on their horses to prepare; Some of them formed a formation, and when the barracks were opened, they rushed in.

The ropes were all tied to the horses, Cheng Niu and the others got on their horses one after another, and the dozen or so horses pulling the ropes were in the opposite direction of the peasant army camp, while the rest of the Runing soldiers were facing the direction of the peasant army camp.

"Do it!" The company commander let out a low snort. The dozen or so horses pulling the rope exerted force at the same time, and the rope was suddenly stretched straight. And this camp fence is a third of the wooden stakes buried in the soil, so these dozen horses at the same time, this is a huge liliang, listen to the "squeak" a few times. The stakes of the barracks that were buried in the ground were uprooted. And a section of the camp fence in this direction was forcibly pulled by more than a dozen horses.

At this time, there was no need to be quiet, Li Sanhe rode on his horse and shouted loudly: "Little ones." Hurry up and rush in! Give these thieves a little bit of a hard work! ”

Night raid on the camp. In such a situation, more than 2,000 soldiers rushed into the enemy camp, slashed and killed, and the disturbance and shock were quite astonishing. And the peasant army was asleep, and everyone was confused, and they didn't know how many people were attacking the camp. It must be abnormal panic, and not being scared of urine is already a strong psychological quality. So don't look at the peasant army as an army of tens of thousands, with more than 2,000 horses in the Runing army, it is enough for them to collapse.

And the soldiers of the Runing Army also shouted loudly with Li Sanhe's order. This is not the time to be quiet, it is better to make this movement as loud and loud as possible.

And that kind of loud shouting is also a signal, and the artillery commander who was staying on the hillside and commanding six artillery pieces heard the movement of the Runing army, and immediately ordered: "Fire!" ”

Six shells flew into the dark night sky at once, and I don't know what the effect of the shelling was, only that those shells definitely smashed into the camp of the peasant army. But on a quiet night, the sound of shelling is really deafening!

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the camp of the peasant army suddenly exploded. This place is the camp of Liu Guoneng, who broke into the sky, heard the drastic change, Liu Guoneng immediately jumped up from the bed, and regardless of the screaming woman next to him, he pulled out the knife next to the bed and broke out of the inner tent.

"King! Official dog robbery camp! Liu Guoneng, the captain of the personal army who broke into the big tent, was stunned for a moment when he saw Liu Guoneng naked, and then immediately reacted and reported the situation in the camp to Liu Guoneng.

"Which direction?" Liu Guoneng didn't care about the cold night in late autumn at all, the first thing was to figure out what the situation was.

"It's an empty camp!" The captain of the pro-soldier replied immediately.

"That's good! Hurry up and arrange manpower to block the official dogs who robbed the camp. If you go out to inspect again, whoever is in trouble will be beheaded immediately! Liu Guoneng immediately ordered.

At this time, Liu Guoneng was no longer very panicked. In the long-term battle between the peasant army and the Ming army, when the two sides were stationed in camps and confrontations, they always fought between the camps and the counter-camps. And this kind of battle is quite fierce, and there are many tricks between each other.

So Liu Guoneng was in his camp, looking for such a place that looked careless and weak, and made people feel that they could break through this gap, and set up an empty camp. However, behind the empty camp, he ambushed a large number of night mobile troops, just to give the camp robbers a head-on attack.

In fact, this can be regarded as a psychological trap, people who can come out in the evening to rob the camp generally have speculative adventures in their hearts, and there is such a gap, which will always attract people to take the bait.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the campers rushed into an empty camp, and were intercepted by a large number of ambushed troops, they would definitely be demoralized because they had fallen into a trap, and even collapsed under the interception.

The only thing Liu Guoneng is worried about now is those artillery. It is also impossible to send troops out of the camp to pull out the artillery in the middle of the night, because it is not easy to find soldiers who are not night blind for a while. Therefore, Liu Guoneng had to organize his troops to avoid the range of artillery fire, and he also had to suppress the soldiers in the chaotic camp to prevent the bombing of the camp.

Liu Guoneng's personal soldier captain immediately led a team of personal soldiers into the camp to inspect the camp, drove all the peasant soldiers who ran out of the tent back to the tent, and cut down a few disobedient soldiers. Under the remediation of the hot hands, Liu Guoneng's camp gradually returned to peace. The soldiers within the range of the artillery fire also withdrew in an orderly manner to the rear of the camp.

But this calm did not last long, because soon, the Runing army that robbed the camp had broken through the interception of the ambushed peasant army and rushed into Liu Guoneng's camp.

The section of the road chosen by the Runing army was indeed a little more difficult to walk, and the infantry was better, but several cavalrymen were turned on their backs. And because of the road restrictions, it is not possible to queue up for a long time. But these are minor issues. The Runing Army still kept trotting, because as long as they rushed in at this time, everything would be fine.

Seeing that the infantry regiment in front had rushed into the camp of the peasant army, there was some movement in the camp of the peasant army at this time. Many of the cavalrymen behind were a little relaxed, and they couldn't help but sneer in their hearts: "It's too late!" ”。

But at this moment, the infantry regiment that had already entered the camp of the peasant army suddenly came with an exclamation: "This camp is empty!" We are in ambush! ”

Those cavalrymen couldn't help but hold on to their reins and waited for Li Sanhe to issue further orders.

"What are you panicking about! What are you panicking about? Li Sanhe roared angrily, "Keep quiet! Do you usually practice less in this situation? Do it as you train! ”

Although the shadow in his heart: he might encounter an ambush was confirmed, Li Sanhe relaxed at this time. In the night attack training of the Runing Army, the two sides of the exercise are also full of tricks, so every time the camp training may encounter an ambush, so as long as the training is followed, in fact, the Runing Army is not very afraid of this situation.

At Li Sanhe's roar, the officers of the Runing Army quickly restrained their troops, and they began to act according to their usual training.

And at this time, Liu Guoneng also miscalculated, he is now ambushing the army around the empty camp, far from the combat effectiveness of the army ambushed around the empty camp when the empty camp was first set up.

Because he was preparing to retreat, and judging that the Runing army would not march at night for such a long distance to attack at night, Liu Guoneng now arranged for many fewer troops to ambush around the empty camp.

In addition, the attitude of these leaders of Liu Guoneng more or less affected the peasant soldiers at the bottom, and the discipline of those peasant soldiers was quite loose, so many of the soldiers in the ambush were scattered and slept.

Even more tragic was that most of the soldiers who had gone to sleep slept in the empty camp. You must know that the peasant army has a very strong desire for supplies, so when retreating, it will definitely not give up the tents set up in the empty camp.

In addition, the sleeping environment in the empty camp is quite good, and it is much better than sleeping with dozens of big men with buckled feet, so the tents in the empty camp are now sleeping with many peasant army laborers who dismantle the tents and soldiers who should have been ambushed at night.

Therefore, when the Runing army opened the fence and the artillery fired, the peasant soldiers who were sleeping in the tents of the empty camp immediately fled in all directions, and these people first affected the formation of the ambushed peasant army.

Moreover, those who escaped were brethren from their own troops, and the troops in ambush of the peasant army could not bear to use long-range firepower such as muskets and bows and arrows. So when those people were almost running, the infantry regiment of the Runing Army, which had already broken into the empty camp, had already lined up in a phalanx and began to shoot with guns.
