Chapter 57: Harassment and Guerrilla Warfare

The Tartar cavalry who quickly traveled east at the foot of the mountain soon found the beacon fire on the top of the mountain, and suddenly there was a great chaos, and the sudden appearance of the beacon fire indicated that the Ming army had an ambush here, not to mention that it was hidden between the mountains and forests, and I don't know how many people there were.

The Tartar Qianhu Zhilu Daoming Army Brigade was coming east, he did not want to be bound here for too long, and today he had won a great victory, and it was only right to withdraw to his territory as soon as possible, so he immediately ordered to speed up the retreat to the east along the north bank of the Sancha River.

Song Nan had no other way, if he hid in the forest, the Tartars would not be able to figure out the reality and would definitely not stay to fight, so they could only show up to attract the Tartar soldiers to stay and fight.

Song Nan stretched out his hand to summon three soldiers, and ordered them to quickly climb over the mountain, ride around to the east of the Tartar brigade, and be sure to quickly light a few piles of beacon fires to bluff, the Ming army of 100 people in the east still has a long time between seeing the beacon fire and rushing to help, and the Tartar soldiers cannot be allowed to escape by taking advantage of this opportunity.

At the same time, Song Nan gave the order to appear, and more than 100 soldiers rushed out of the mountain forest together, shouting and rushing to the southernmost hillside.

The Tartar soldiers didn't know the truth and the truth, but when they saw that the Ming army that rushed to the hillside was only more than 100 people, they suddenly felt relieved, and a centurion shouted: "Damn, how many people do you think that such a small number of soldiers and horses dare to block our way, Batu Qianhu, wait for me to take people to slaughter these jumping clowns." ”

Qianhu Batu shook his head and said: "No, it's important to hurry, their intention is to delay our time, don't fall for them; Besides, if they just stand on the hillside and shout and don't come down, our horses can't rush up, so can't they abandon their horses and fight them on foot? ”

Baihu Huslen thought about it and felt that it was right, so he took a sip and said, "Damn, count them lucky." ”

The Tartar soldiers ignored the noise of the Ming army on the hillside and still maintained the formation and marched eastward, no matter how they scolded, Song Nan scolded the mother and ordered: "Rush down the hillside, chase the ass and release arrows, what about the firecracker?" Aren't there a dozen of them? Fill it with gunpowder and blast me. ”

The soldiers were stunned, and going down to the river bank under the hillside to fight them head-on was tantamount to seeking death, after all, Nan Ye didn't know how to fight, this was a blind command.

A general flag asked euphemistically, and Song Nan glared and said, "You know a fart, do you understand chasing your ass and harassing you?" When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we pursue, this is called guerrilla warfare; As soon as the Tartars turn back, they immediately run up the hill, and their horses can climb up the hill? Unless they are willing to climb up as infantry and fight us hand-to-hand, then what is their advantage? ”

Everyone suddenly realized, the admiration for Nan Ye is like a surging river, Nan Ye can still export in such a dangerous situation, what 'the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I chase', just like composing poetry, how can people who have no real skills understand this.

Dozens of soldiers with bows and arrows on their backs and fire guns climbed down the hillside, chasing the buttocks of the Tartar soldiers was a random shot of bows and arrows and fire guns, several Tartar cavalry dragged behind the most was knocked off their horses, and the captured people and Ming soldiers also knew how to cooperate, one by one lying on the ground and letting the Tartar soldiers pull and scold without moving their bodies.

Hu Sileng scolded angrily, and said to Batu: "Lord Qianhu, these dogs are too serious about us, ants are chasing and biting lions, can you fucking bear it?" ”

Batu frowned and said: "You take a team of cavalry to slaughter them, and the others continue to hurry, which prisoner dares to cut Lao Tzu directly without moving his body and delaying time." ”

The men obeyed, and immediately a few bloody heads fell to the ground, and the captured Ming soldiers and civilians had to get up and follow, and Hu Silen galloped to the rear, leading more than 100 horsemen to turn their horses and rush towards the Ming army harassing behind.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the horse's head turned around, the group of guys immediately twisted their butts and ran up the hillside, and when Husleng's horse team chased to the edge of the hillside, this group of guys had already climbed the hillside, and turned around and shot arrows condescendingly from dozens of feet away, and the Tartar cavalry was shot down seven or eight more without shelter.

Husleng angrily ordered the horse's head to turn back, and as soon as the horse's buttocks turned, the other party shouted and rushed down the hillside with a rolling belt, and shot at the tartar's ass again.

After a few times of eagle catching chickens, Hu Silen suddenly found that more than 30 of the more than 100 cavalry he brought had fallen, but he didn't even touch a single hair of the other party, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Batu scolded Huslen for being a fool, and asked someone to send an order to Huslen, asking him to stop caring about the harassment of these ants and keep up with the brigade to leave here quickly, it has been delayed a lot of time, and if the delay continues, I am afraid that the brigade of the Ming army will catch up.

Husleng had no choice but to let those guys chase after the buttocks and shoot arrows, and catch up with the team without looking back; Fortunately, those guys couldn't outrun four legs on two legs, and they soon sighed.

Batu urged to hurry up, whipping the grinding prisoners, he had an ominous premonition, today from the west sneaked into the successful attack on the Huaishu Fort, and on the way defeated a hundred people of the Ming army, it can be said that the harvest is full, I hope that the immortal heaven blesses, the good luck has not come to an end, and it is always necessary to return to the camp fifty miles away safely and securely to be regarded as a real victory.

However, Changshengtian seemed to have played a joke on himself, and the Tartars soon found that several puffs of black smoke were billowing up in the east direction of the team's advance, which was the most commonly used means of reporting the military situation by the Ming army.

In the consternation, someone found a fourth black smoke at the end of the distant horizon, that is to say, the Ming army in the distance has also obtained military information, judging from the size of the Ming army troops encountered on the road, they are scattered in a team of 100 people, that is to say, there are three 100 teams closest to them in the west, and their own men and horses have an absolute advantage, but once entangled, it will not take a lot of time, and the Ming army is chasing the ass to rush here.

Batu looked back at the group of ants that were chasing after him on the way, gritted his teeth and said: "Husleng, let's go back and slaughter this group of guys who are not self-sufficient, and then let's go from the mountains, isn't there a road there?" ”

Huslen said: "That mountain road is narrow, it has long been abandoned, and the depression on the other side of the mountain has formed because of the melting snow, and it is not easy to walk on horseback." Teach me to say, let's cut down these captives, ride lightly to the east, and let him have a Ming army, how many people can stop us? ”

Batu said: "It's not easy for us to walk, and it's even harder for the Ming army to walk on foot, so we still have horses to walk, and after a while, we will push these prisoners into the depression to step on our feet, and we won't save time here to cut them down; If I go further east, I am worried that I will be blocked by the Ming army in front of me on the riverbank, and this terrain cannot go up the mountain or down the river, so it will be more troublesome. ”

Hu Silen said: "What Qianhu said is that it is not easy to walk, and it is also a road, so let's kill the group of nasty flies in the back first." ”

Batu gave an order, the front team changed to the rear team, and quickly gathered more than 400 cavalry to turn the horse's head, Song Nan took the people who were chasing, and suddenly saw the enemy turn the horse's head, and a large number of cavalry were transferred from the front to the rear to assemble, and hurriedly raised their hands to signal everyone to stop.

"The Tartars are going to turn back, do you see, the beacon fire in the west is up, and the people and horses of Ma Qianhu in the east are also about to arrive, the Tartars are afraid of being made dumplings, listen to my orders for a while, don't mess up."

Everyone's hearts were pounding, staring closely at the movement of the Tartar cavalry, only to hear a strange cry in the Tartar array, hundreds of Tartar cavalry raised their long knives high above their heads, more than ten horsemen in a row, riding horses to charge.

The two sides gathered about two miles away, this section of the infantry had to walk for a long time, but for the cavalry it was a blink of an eye, only a little stunned time, the first echelon of the Tartar cavalry dozens of horsemen had already rushed to the middle, and you could clearly see the hideous faces and grinning appearance of the Tartar soldiers.

Song Nan shouted loudly: "Retreat to the mountain road and run to the gravel barren beach." ”

Everyone was stunned, why didn't they run up the mountain? But he ran up the mountain road, which can outrun the horses?

"Lead the Tartars into a trap." Song Nan added.

Only then did everyone remember that the trap they had worked hard for several days was on the mountain road, and they immediately dispersed and ran towards the small valley where the mountain road was located.

Hu Silen scolded with a smile in the rear: "This group of grandsons seems to be frightened by me, why don't they run to the mountain, but they just drill on the mountain road, it just so happens that Lao Tzu is about to take that road, but it saves trouble." ”

The Tartar cavalry was as fast as lightning, and soon chased after the Ming army running around, several Tartar soldiers took off the bows and arrows on their backs and fired them in a row, and several Ming soldiers were hit by arrows in their backs and threw themselves on the ground, and the cavalry behind rushed over, and the horse's hooves rose and fell, trampling them into meat sauce.

Song Nan was escorted by several guards to run on the rocky and barren beach next to the mountain road, and he could hear the screams of his brothers behind him, but he was helpless; It was an asymmetrical battle, and death was inevitable, not to mention that it was worth dying a few people in order to lead the Tartars up the mountain road full of pits.

All the way to the one-sided pursuit, has been successively caught up by the Tartar soldiers to cut down more than 20 people, and finally most of the Ming soldiers ran to the middle of the large rocky beach next to the mountain road, Song Nan ordered everyone to hide behind the rocks to avoid the Tartar soldiers' bow and arrow shooting, the Tartar horses could not walk on the rocky beach, they could only shoot with bows and arrows far away.

Batu arrived with three hundred cavalry escorting the captives, and Huslence immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Qianhu, look at these grandsons, they have run to the barren rocky beach in a panic to be shrunken turtles, should we dismount and slaughter them all." ”

Batu pointed to the west and said, "You see, their reinforcements are already five or six miles away. ”

Hu Silen hurriedly looked to the west, and saw rows of black dots on the horizon in the distance to the west moving rapidly towards this side, and Zhenghuan, who was chasing just now, didn't notice it at all.

Batu sneered: "Even so, how can you not eat the meat that reaches your mouth? You take some men off your horses and slaughter them, and the rest of them quickly pass through the mountain road, and we slaughter these guys right under the noses of their reinforcements, what can they do? ”

Hu Silen smiled: "Lord Qianhu is so domineering. ”

Batu smiled and glared, "Don't go and arrange it yet." ”
