Chapter 10 Calculation within Calculation

The vanguard battalion rushed into the camp of the Yuan army, but the Yuan army did not send the most elite cavalry to come, but let the infantry surround and kill, and did not even put all its forces into battle, and for a while, the situation on the battlefield fell into a stalemate.

At the same time, in the Mingjiao camp, a team of 3,000 people, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Yuan army being dragged by the vanguard battalion, suddenly launched an attack on the weak point of the Yuan army's blockade.

The timing and location of Mingjiao's attacks were very well chosen.

At this time, the strength of the entire Yuan army was attracted by the vanguard battalion, and the Yuan army in this direction was less than a thousand people, and the night was thick, Mingjiao suddenly launched a sneak attack, and instantly broke through the blockade direction of the Yuan army and fled into the distance.

There is a mountain not far ahead, and as long as you hide in the mountain, you can escape.

The news of the Mingjiao sneak attack soon spread to the Chinese army camp.

The little county lord sneered and said, "Sure enough, it was as I expected. This Ming army that broke through was the main force of the rebellion, and these cavalry in front of them were just abandoned chess pieces. ”

"If you really let you escape, then I won't be called Minmin Temur. The little county lord clapped his hands and said, "The hunting plan begins." The cavalry is dispatched to hunt down the rebel main force that broke through the siege, and the traitors must be wiped out. Capture the traitor Zhou Ziwang, reward 10,000 gold, and seal 10,000 households. ”

"The county lord has an order, capture Zhou Ziwang, reward 10,000 gold, and seal 10,000 households!"

The news was conveyed instantly, and the cavalry immediately let out an excited roar and galloped wildly. In their eyes, the rebels who broke through were nothing more than a flock of lambs, just waiting for them to harvest, with fast hands and slow hands without them!"

Seeing that the cavalry of the Yuan army went to pursue the Ming army that broke through, the vanguard battalion was very anxious, and even launched an attack on the surrounding Yuan army like crazy, as if it wanted to break through to block the Yuan cavalry.

Seeing this, the generals of the Yuan army laughed out loud and complimented: "This group of rebellious cavalry is really in a hurry, it seems that the county lord is like a god, and the rebel army that broke through is the main force of Zhou Ziwang." ”

The little county lord was complacent, looking like he was in his chest, and clapped his hands and said: "Pass my order to surround and not kill this rebellious cavalry, and consume their physical strength." If she can subdue them, she will not only be able to deal a heavy blow to the rebellion of Mingjiao, but also get a group of right-hand men! Her favorite thing to do is to collect heroes and heroes of the Han people, work for herself, and let them fight against other Han people.

With the order of "surround but not kill", the Yuan army's offensive was no longer fierce, but it was only guaranteed that the vanguard battalion would not break through and leave. The pressure on the pioneer battalion has also been greatly reduced.

In the pioneer camp, Luo Chuan and Chang Yuchun waved their hands to slash several Yuan army infantry in front of them, but suddenly found that there was no Yuan army in front of them, and the Yuan army also retreated to a distance, standing with spears in hand.

At this moment, there were Yuan troops in front and behind, left and right, and the vanguard battalion was besieged in the middle.

However, the people of the pioneer battalion gathered around in a hurry.

Chang Yuchun was not surprised, and said in a low voice: "Brother Luochuan, you are still like a god, and you can even calculate that the cavalry of the Tartars will go to pursue the main force, and let the lord and the young master hide in our vanguard camp in advance, and now, the cavalry of the Yuan army has left, and we can break through." ”

If the main force of the Ming Sect was here, they would definitely be shocked to find that Zhou Ziwang, the lord who was supposed to be escorted by them to break through, actually appeared in the vanguard camp. Moreover, in front of Zhou Ziwang, there is a small figure lying low, this figure is Zhou Ziwang's child, lying on horseback, covered by armor, and you can't see it if you don't look carefully.

From the very beginning, the pioneer battalion divided more than a dozen horses, intentionally or unintentionally blocking Zhou Ziwang's side, these people wholeheartedly maintained Zhou Ziwang's safety, always in the central area of the pioneer battalion, and did not participate in the attack. It's just that the night is so thick that it's hard for outsiders to notice.

Since the generals of the Yuan army were able to come up with psychological warfare to let the Mingjiao bomb the camp, Luo Chuan had no doubt that the Yuan army could see through their plan to abandon the car and protect the commander, so he used this trick "plan in plan!". The cavalry of the Yuan army really pursued the main force, but they didn't know that the rebel leader Zhou Ziwang, whom they were looking for, was right in front of them.

No one could have imagined that Zhou Ziwang would dare to take such a big risk and impact the Yuan army's array. According to normal people's thinking, Zhou Ziwang, as the coach, should pay the most attention to his own safety, and he has escaped a long time ago. That's what goes dark under the lights.

"Wait a little longer, wait for the Tartar cavalry to catch up with our men. At that time, even if our people can't hold back the cavalry of the Yuan army, but fleeing in all directions will make the cavalry of the Yuan army scatter and chase, and when the time comes, we will break through again, even if the Yuan army finds out that something is wrong, it will not be able to do it for a while and a half if we want to recall the cavalry. Luo Chuan analyzed it and said calmly.

After the rush and killing just now, less than half of the people in the pioneer battalion remained, but fortunately, at this time, the infantry of the Yuan army was only besieging but not attacking, and the vanguard battalion did not produce any more casualties.

After a while, Luo Chuan looked into the distance and found that the cavalry of the Yuan army had disappeared at this time, and only a little fire was faintly visible from miles away, which was the torch of the cavalry of the Yuan army.

"This is the time!"

Luo Chuan shouted violently: "Ignite the fire, throw out the gunpowder bag in your hand, and explode a bloody road!"

The soldiers of the pioneer battalion took out a package from their horses, which contained gunpowder.

Gunpowder, as early as the Song Dynasty, has been developed and used as weapons. Zhou Ziwang's troops were also equipped with several bulky bronze cannons, but they were pitifully powerful. But there was no shortage of gunpowder.

When Luo Chuan learned this, he was overjoyed and asked Chang Yuchun to collect all the gunpowder, then wrap them in cloth and carry them on the horse.

At this time, these gunpowder bags are the best weapons to open the way.

Although the gunpowder packs carried by the dead brothers were lost, there were still hundreds of them left, which were ignited at the same time, and the fuses sizzled brightly in the night.

"One, two, three. Throw!"

With Luo Chuan's loud shout, hundreds of gunpowder packs flew out at the same time, falling into the camp of the Yuan army like meteors.

Boom! Boom!

The explosion was deafening, and gray-white clouds rose up in the Yuan army, and the powerful air currents swept the surrounding Yuan troops away.

Although these explosive packets were only made of the lowest level of black powder, there were a lot of iron nails and the like inside, and the lethality was extremely terrifying as the shock wave of the explosion flew in all directions.

In just an instant, a large area of the surrounding Yuan army was emptied.

And where have the other Yuan troops seen such a powerful explosive package, they are just the wrath of the heavenly thunder, and they have long been stupid.

Hundreds of gunpowder packets not only killed hundreds of Yuan troops, but also caused a chain reaction. Many Yuan soldiers were deaf in their ears, threw away their weapons, and fled frantically.

Tens of thousands of Yuan troops were crowded together, crying and shouting, and the scene was chaotic, no less than the bombing camp of the Ming army before.
