Chapter 50: The Suspicious Soldier Breaks His Soul
The night in February was not much warmer than in the middle of winter, and the hands and feet were cold and stiff, and they did not dare to light a bonfire to keep warm or move, and piles of soldiers hugged each other in a group to warm each other with their bodies.
Song Nan was also so cold that snot and tears fell, constantly rubbing his hands to keep warm, looking up at the stars in the sky shining coldly, he couldn't help but feel a little wandering out of the world, fate is so wonderful, a few months ago he was still surfing on the beach in the future to enjoy the sun, a few months later he was nesting on a battlefield in the Ming Dynasty waiting to participate in a fight, if it wasn't for personal experience, who could believe that all this was true.
"Guys prepare!" At the third watch, Jiang Bin quietly gave an order, and everyone conveyed the orders one by one, got up one after another, and lined up to prepare.
"Don't rush out of the mountain pass, keep in formation, look calm, and let the Tartars feel that we are not afraid of them discovering us." Jiang Bin added.
Song Nan nodded secretly, Jiang Bin is still reliable in fighting, and he also knows how to play psychological games, just like he said, to show fearlessness, the more this is the case, the less the Tartars will doubt the strength of the Ming army.
The team of more than 1,000 people slowly walked out of the col along the corner of the mountain, and walked less than a stick of incense, and the team in front of them sent back the news that they had reached the mountain pass, Jiang Bin immediately ordered to light the torches, and the soldiers raised the three-pronged torches one after another, lit them, and suddenly crackled the smoke and fragrance of the burning pine oil rushed straight to the ears and nose.
The front team of more than 300 people spread out like a mountain pass, and more than 900 fireheads densely spread out in the wilderness outside the mountain pass, and several guard towers on the periphery of the Tartar barracks immediately noticed that something was wrong, and almost at the same moment, warning horns sounded on the three guard towers.
The low sound of the horn echoed in the dark night, sounding panicked, and there was immediately movement in the barracks, dozens of bonfires that were about to burn out were immediately brightened, and from a distance, the figures of the Tartar soldiers ran back and forth, looking extremely panicked.
Soon, you can see that many Tartar soldiers have put on their armor and stepped onto their horses, and the blades in their hands are flashing like stars in the firelight, as if they are ready to attack.
Fang Datong followed Song Nan and Jiang Bin's side, his heart tightened slightly, and asked, "Tartar is going to fight hard when he sees this fight." ”
Jiang Bin snorted and ordered loudly: "Don't panic, don't run, don't mess up, keep a good formation, the rear of the squadron should be spread out and lined up on both sides, so that the Tartars can see it." ”
The front team slowed down, the squadron and the rear team quickly followed, moving sideways to the sides, and the whole team was spread out over the wilderness like a big pancake after leaving the pass, and thousands of torches filled the open space at the pass, like a big blanket on fire, spread out in front of the Tartars.
The south gate of the Tartar barracks had already been opened, and hundreds of cavalry had begun to line up in front of the camp to prepare to charge, but as the dense torches of the Ming army poured out of the mountain pass, the Tatar soldiers did not know how many people the Ming army had dispatched, and they were shocked by a rough estimate of no less than a few thousand.
After a while, several horses galloped out of the camp gate, and it was a few generals led by the Tartars, and then the long horn sounded again.
Song Nan was startled, thinking that the Tartars had given the order to charge, but he heard Jiang Bin's surprised voice in his ears: "The Tartars are instigated, this is the clarion call for the withdrawal of troops." ”
"Kill." Jiang Bin shouted, pulled out the long knife at his waist, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the war horse swooped out; At the same time, the shouts of killing were deafening, and the soldiers shouted loudly and charged forward.
The whole formation is like a fire net, very oppressive to the Tartar barracks net, coupled with the loud shouts of killing that resounded through the sky, the Tatar soldiers did not dare to engage in the battle at all, the commander of the thousand men gave the order to evacuate, the Tartars relied on the horses to walk, when the Ming army left the camp for more than two miles, there were already hundreds of horsemen rushed out of the rear camp gate to flee north.
Jiang Bin rushed to the front with more than 100 horsemen, and the Tartar soldiers on the sentry tower in front of him were running to the camp in a panic, and were caught up by Jiang Bin, who was in the lead, raised his long knife, opened the bow left and right, and suddenly the two Tartar soldiers returned to the west sky; Once they saw the blood, the cavalry soldiers who followed around them had red eyes like crazy wolves, and the infantry behind saw it clearly, and the Lord Qianhu took the lead in killing the two, and the morale suddenly rose, and the speed of the charge was faster.
Song Nan's heart was beating when he watched it in the back, this is a fucking murder, the evil buried in his heart suddenly seemed to have been opened, and his heart was excited; Song Nan looked left and right, and saw a Jinyi guard captain pulling the horse and standing aside, stretching his neck to look forward, snatching the reins and flying on the horse, the back of the knife knocked on the horse's hip, and the horse galloped out.
Fang Datong shouted repeatedly: "Song Zongqi, what are you doing?" ”
Song Nan didn't look back, only floated over with one sentence: "Kill the Tartar!" ”
Fang Datong rolled his eyes, spat at the foam, turned over on his horse, stretched out his hand and pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his waist and shouted to more than 30 captains on the left and right: "What are you still stunned for?" Grab the credit, damn it. ”
All the captains woke up like a dream, and they all got on their horses and followed behind Fang Datong to cover up and kill the past.
The Ming army brigade was approaching, and the head of the Tartar soldiers did not dare to fight back and fly away, and they fled quickly and heard the screams behind and secretly rejoiced, but unexpectedly, the sound of ping-pong sounded on both sides, and dozens of Tartar soldiers on the periphery fell off their horses in response, and everyone had not come back to their senses, and the sound of swishing through the air was like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, and many people in front of and behind them were shot by arrows.
"There's an ambush."
The Tartar soldiers were in a mess, regardless of the rush forward, fortunately, the ambushed Ming army did not aim at them, but at the new group of cavalry behind, where did the Tartar cavalry in front dare to turn back, beat their horses and galloped away.
Song Nan rode his horse and rushed into the barracks, many panicked Tartar soldiers ran around in the camp, not all of the Tartar soldiers were cavalry, and many were infantry responsible for the transportation of logistics materials.
Jiang Bin yelled and killed several people in a row, and when he saw Song Nan galloping in, he hurriedly shouted, "Brother Song, what are you doing?" Didn't you stay behind? ”
Song Nan said: "I'm also a soldier, how can I hide behind and watch the excitement." ”
Jiang Bin smacked his lips and was about to persuade Song Nan to leave, when he suddenly saw Song Nan riding his horse and approaching, and the blade in his hand stabbed him in the neck.
Jiang Bin was shocked: "Brother Song...... You ......"
Song Nan shouted, "Don't move. ”
Jiang Bin only felt a gust of cold wind hit his neck, and then a hot and sticky liquid splashed on his neck, Jiang Bin turned around, only to see a Tartar soldier standing on the low wall behind him, still holding a blade in his hand, but his neck was already full of blood.
Song Nan pulled out his blade, his hand was a little weak, and he smiled reluctantly: "It's so dangerous, this guy almost killed you." ”
Jiang Bin then understood that Song Nan had saved his life, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, looking at Song Nan's white face, Jiang Bin said: "Brother, this is the first time to kill someone." ”
Song Nan held back the discomfort in his heart and said in a dumb voice: "For the first time, it feels really fucking bad." ”
Jiang Bin said with a smile: "You get used to killing and killing, follow my brother, let's try to kill a few more Tartars." ”
……
The battle lasted less than half an hour before it ended, the Tartar soldiers fled without a trace except for lying on the ground, Jiang Bin ordered people to pretend to chase out for several miles, and the rear ones hurried to clean up the battlefield, the front brigade was killed and wounded less than 30, and the ambush soldiers of Ma Ming and Zhao Baihu behind were killed and wounded more than 70 people, many of whom were blindly rushed to the front by the chaotic Tartar soldiers, and there was nowhere to escape; Fortunately, the Tartar soldiers had no intention of fighting, otherwise none of them would have been spared.
More than 300 Tartar soldiers were killed, whether they were dead or wounded lying on the ground, Jiang Bin ordered their heads to be cut off and taken away, Song Nan saw how big the hatred between Da Ming and Tartars was, there was no such thing as a prisoner of war, because of this, the battle between the two sides was also very fierce, unless they could escape, those who could not escape were fighting with their lives.
After cleaning up, Jiang Bin ordered the immediate withdrawal of troops, this is too far away from Ulzhou, and I don't know how many people and horses there are in this area, if they come back to their senses, it will be a big deal.
Regardless of their tiredness, everyone marched in the starry night and walked all night, and when they saw the tall black shadow of Ulju City, they breathed a sigh of relief; When they returned to the barracks to reorganize and rest, everyone was extremely tired, except for the soldiers who were on guard, everyone fell asleep.
Song Nanlian had nightmares, and the tragic murder scenes on the battlefield appeared in his dreams one after another, and he was sweating profusely in his sleep; I don't know how long I slept in a daze, when I opened my eyes, I saw a ray of golden sunlight shining in directly from outside the tent, listening to the laughter outside, and the smell of food wafting from the end of my nose, Song Nan regained consciousness, sat up and stood blankly for a while, secretly grateful that everything last night had passed, and life was still going on.
