Chapter 8: Ten Thousand Arrows

After the soldiers received the order, they quickly dismantled the Chongzhen crossbow into more than a dozen parts, one for each person, and marched towards the destination.

After most of the march, they arrived at the ambush site, and then hid themselves before the sun went down according to the assigned task.

The sergeants buried the pot and cooked, very relaxed and confident.

After Zhu Youjian sent a dozen scouts, he inspected the three ambush points.

Not only did he give some precautions to the officers again, but at the same time, he greeted the ordinary soldiers with cold and warmth.

He patted almost every soldier on the shoulder, giving encouragement with a determined look.

It wasn't until late at night that he returned to his hiding place.

This is the camp that Ni Yuanlu and the four of them chose for Chongzhen, just for his safety.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youjian woke up early and walked to a boulder on the top of the mountain to watch the battle.

After a while, he saw the scouts galloping back again and again, and Zhu Youjian knew that Tang Tong's army was not far away.

In the ambush point, several Wenchen held their breath and stared, and at the same time recalled the experience of less than half a month, it was really like a dream.

Things really happened as Emperor Chongzhen dreamed.

I can't help but sigh, the emperor is really the son of heaven!

Everyone thought that Chongzhen was trying to kill the enemy this time.

But they were all wrong.

Zhu Youjian didn't care about the 8,000 men and horses, what he cared about was the carriage escorted by the enemy.

That is the key to stabilizing the Guanning Iron Cavalry.

At the end of the hour, Zhu Youjian saw sand and dust rising in the distance.

It was trampled by the cavalry on the march.

"Hooray, it looks like the Tang Tong thief army has arrived." Wang Chengen squinted his eyes and said excitedly.

"Hey, the show is about to begin." Zhu Youjian commanded an ancient war for the first time, and he was also a little excited.

At this time, General Tang sat proudly on a heavy jujube-colored horse.

Among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, his title is still very high. Along the way, the mood was particularly comfortable.

Behind him, 8,000 cavalrymen dressed in leather armor and armed with sharp blades. From a distance, all you can see are tall horses, cold silver light and bright red tassels, quite the style of a mighty army.

In the midst of the army, there were 28 chariots that accompanied the army. It was as if it had been loaded with heavy goods, leaving deep wheel marks on the ground.

"Ding Xibo, taking over Shanhaiguan this time shows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to you!" Li Qi, the military advisor behind Tang Tong, was a little bored, and looked for the topic with a smile.

Tang Tong smiled: "That's nature!" ”

"I don't know how Your Majesty will arrange that Wu Sangui?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, the things in the holy decree are you bastard who should be inquiring about!" Tang Tong's eyes widened, and he was very fierce.

"The little one doesn't dare, don't dare to ......" Li Qi was bored and didn't speak again.

He leisurely looked at the valley in front of him, feeling that this was an excellent ambush spot. That is, there is no war now, otherwise, I really don't dare to pass by here, and I will definitely go around the distance.

Whoosh whoosh ......

Li Qi's ears moved subconsciously, and he, who had been in the army for many years, immediately smelled danger.

This is...... The sound of arrows breaking through the air.

Before he could react, Tang Tong in front of him on the right took a step forward and dismounted, pulling the reins tightly to block the horse in front of him.

Li Qi immediately understood, followed suit, and turned over.

It's a pity that he didn't have the first chance and luck of General Tang, and his feet hadn't fully landed, and there were already two sharp arrows piercing his chest and thighs respectively.

When Tang Tong heard the voice, he was horrified in his heart, and he didn't know which enemy he encountered. There is obviously no Ming court's army around the Jingshi. How could it be ambushed!

He looked up, back and forth.

Arrows flew in the sky, in any direction, but they couldn't see where the enemy was, and their faces were suddenly frightened.

Could it be Wu Sangui?

"Enemy attack! Get ready for battle! Tang Tong shouted, he knew that after the first wave of bows and arrows, it was time for them to charge and counterattack.

But the sharp arrows in the sky didn't seem to stop, and they fell from the sky, and the surrounding soldiers fell to the ground one after another.

Everyone was dodging, and there was no chance to organize a charge.

"This ...... Probably 10,000 people fired arrows at the same time. Isn't it Wu Sangui? ”

Tang Tong really couldn't figure out which Ming army could have such archery skills in the Gyeonggi area now!

"Could it be Jianyu!"

As soon as Tang Tong's idea came out, combined with the incessant rain of arrows, he immediately confirmed his conjecture.

Without thinking about it, he turned around and ran, and within a few steps he grabbed one of his warhorses, stepped on them and fled.

Just kidding, this is not a lot of effort, there are enough 10,000 arrows, not Jianyu, who else.

He knew very well that Jianyu was terrible, and at this time he didn't care about anything, it was important to save his life, so he would better escape and talk about it. In the Battle of Songjin back then, this is how he left his life.

When the soldiers saw the commander fleeing, they immediately lost their fighting spirit and fled one after another.

Ni Yuanlu, who was standing on the mountainside, looked down the mountain and was very excited.

Seeing that Tang Tong really didn't send detectives before, he already admired Chongzhen for being like a god.

Now that the Tang Tong army has fled in defeat, it is even more to the five-body surrender that Emperor Chongzhen admires.

On the top of the mountain, Wang Chengen saw the collapse of the thief army, was very excited, and shouted: "Long live, the rebels are defeated, the rebels are defeated." ”

Zhu Youjian laughed, "More than 10,000 sharp arrows were shot in an instant, and it was already a big fate for 8,000 people to be wiped out, and those who survived had already been frightened, so how could they not collapse!" ”

Tang Tong galloped on his horse, his ears were full of people roaring and neighing, and the sound of arrows and feathers breaking through the air was endless, he didn't care about these at all, he blindly waved the horsewhip, and there was only one thought in his heart, leaving Qingshan without worrying about no firewood.

When he galloped out of the valley, he looked back and saw that there were less than a thousand people who had escaped with him.

All 28 wagons he was escorting were left in the valley.

"Hey, it's a big crime!" Tang Tong was heartbroken, but he did not slow down his horse in the slightest. He was really scared of being killed by Jianyu in his early years.

The rout army galloped not far away, and heard countless sounds of breaking the air ahead.

Tang Tong was shocked and shouted loudly: "If you want to live, rush over desperately!" ”

In fact, there was no need for him to shout, everyone sensed the breath of death, and everyone galloped.

As the sound of breaking the air approached, hundreds of sharp arrows shot from the front, reaping more than a hundred lives.

Seeing that there were not many bows and arrows, Tang Tong was determined and waved his whip desperately.

Ling Yiqu saw that less than a thousand people were scattered, and he couldn't wait to run to the top of the mountain and kneel in front of Chongzhen, and the mountain shouted long live.

He was excited, as a civil servant, although he had also led soldiers to fight, but he had never fought such a hearty war of annihilation.

1000 vs. 8000, such a big disparity, it didn't take a single soldier to ambush 7000 cavalry.

Such a big result, Daming has never had it in the past hundred years!

The five rounds of salvo fire were completed, Ling Yiqu waved his big hand, and the soldiers behind him struck the gong.

As the sound of the gong spread, nearly a hundred ropes were raised out of thin air under Tang Tongjun's feet. All the galloping horsemen suddenly lost their horses and fell off their horses one by one.

This was followed by the sound of a brass gong.

Tang Tong found himself rushing out of hundreds of infantry in front of him and to the left and right. They were dressed in disheveled clothes, including soldiers from the Ming court, brave from local governors, and many people wearing the clothes of servants of large families.

This is not a captive, it's a newly surrendered army!

Tang Tong shouted: "Brothers, we are not the Ming army, we are also the people who broke into the camp, don't fight!" ”

Ling Yiqu was immediately happy when he heard this, and also shouted: "Kill you is a thief!" ”

Tang Tong was extremely puzzled when he heard this, he really couldn't think of anyone else in the Gyeonggi area with such combat power and such a scale.

But since he wasn't Jianyu, there was nothing to be afraid of, and he beckoned the soldiers to prepare to fight back.

However, his dream was empty again.

Tang Tong found that although this group of soldiers looked like a ragtag army, they were all neat and had strange tricks.

In addition, his own soldiers had just fallen from their horses, and everyone was wounded.

Often in three or five strokes, he was captured or killed by the miscellaneous soldiers in front of him.

"Who the hell are you?" Tang Tong shouted.

No one answered, but a stout soldier came at him with his bare hands.

"Hmph, you dare to underestimate General Ben!" Tang Tong was furious, brandished his steel knife and slashed forward.

"Huh?"

Tang Tong's steel knife slashed, and the enemy unloaded his weapon somehow, and then was inexplicably put to the ground, tied up in a strong knot!
