Chapter 333: Who Said Ambush Soldiers Should Die Personally?
Under the order of Hong Boyan Timur, the Yuan army immediately bypassed the thousands of Dingliao guards who had formed a formation and chose to march towards the official road from which they came.
This operation made Ye Wang and Wu Zhou and several Dingliaowei generals confused.
These Yuan troops were menacing, and even spent a lot of effort to set up an ambush in front, why did they lead their troops to leave before they completely wiped out their own people?
Wu Xuan: "Commander, what should we do next?" ”
Ye Wang gritted his teeth, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "His grandmother's, this group of Yuan dogs killed our brothers, but now they are turning around to leave, doesn't this take us seriously?" ”
"Brothers, chase after me together, and if you die, you will bite off a piece of meat on this group of Yuan dogs!"
I have to say that Ye Wang, as a fierce general of Dingliao Guard, is very bloody. After Ben came from Shanhaiguan and was seized, he just held the mentality of "killing one is enough, killing two to earn one", and now seeing that his brothers were ambushed and sacrificed so much by the Yuan army, but the Yuan army himself suffered little damage, where could he be willing to let the Yuan army go like this?
Seeing that the Ming army behind him actually began to pursue, Hong Boyan Timur was even more sure of his guess: In the world, how can thousands of people dare to chase after 20,000 people? It must be because the task received by this Ming army is to find ways to delay the return of its own army!
Therefore, Hong Boyan Timur withdrew more decisively.
Throughout the history of the Chinese war, there was also a very outrageous scene: nearly 20,000 Yuan troops who had just won the battle fled frantically in front, while the Ming army, which was only more than 3,000 in number and was out of breath because of the rapid march, gritted its teeth and chased wildly behind. The tighter the Ming army pursued, the more certain the Yuan army was that there must be deception, so the more decisive it withdrew. I never thought about turning my head and destroying this Ming army first.
In the end, he was really annoyed by this Ming army, and Hong Boyan Timur had to order a small part of the Yuan army to be broken, and then he completely got rid of Ye Wang's Ming army.
Hong Boyan Timur went all the way east along the official road, and soon, he came to another dangerous place in front of the "gourd mouth". Looking at the dark and deep valley mouth in the night, a suspicious lieutenant grabbed the reins of Hong Boyan Timur's horse.
"My lord, the terrain here is steep, you need to be careful of the Ming army ambushing!"
Hong Boyan Timur was also a little hesitant, but after thinking for a while, he finally made up his mind: "The Ming army will not set up an ambush here." ”
"If an ambush is set up here, the Ming army will inevitably get into a melee with us here. The momentum caused by the melee will inevitably be detected by Gao Basi in the gate. ”
"Moreover, if they want to eat us, the Ming army will inevitably waste a lot of time. If they wait until dawn, they will lose the advantage of raiding. ”
I have to say that Hong Boyan Timur's judgment was very correct, in this era, the so-called night battles often also mean "chaos". With limited field of view, soldiers tend to fight in small squads. Even the most brilliant generals are difficult to achieve overall mobilization and co-ordination.
In many cases, it is not until dawn that the soldiers can accurately judge what kind of situation the enemy and friendly troops are in.
Even if the Ming army set up an ambush here, it would definitely not be able to annihilate its own army of more than 10,000 people in a short period of time in the case of night fighting. Rather than losing the perfect opportunity to attack Shanhaiguan, it is better to completely ignore this Yuan army that was transferred from the mountain. You must know that only by taking Shanhaiguan can the Ming army maximize the benefits.
What's more, there is Ye Wang's group of Ming troops behind, who are chasing after them!
If there is an ambush here, then why do Ye Wang's gang risk their lives to drag themselves down?
Thinking about it this way, the deputy general who grabbed the reins of Hong Boyan Timur's horse was also a little relieved. When a sentinel came to report that no trace of the Ming army was found, Hong Boyan Timur and the generals of the Yuan army were completely relieved. Hong Boyan Timur pointed at the valley mouth with a horsewhip and said proudly: "The Ming army thought it had a plan, and left a word to humiliate the general. didn't know their little plan, and they had already been aware of it. ”
"Speed up the march! Wait for me to wait for the Ming army to descend from the sky, so that those Zhu family dolls can know that their little strategy is just a small skill of carving insects! ”
The arrogant Hong Boyan Timur didn't notice the extremely strange look that flashed in the eyes of the retreating sentry......
Letting go of the worries in his heart, the Yuan army, which was anxious because he was worried about being forcibly taken by the Ming army, began to march again. Humbyan Timur rode on a tall horse and urged the infantry to speed forward with his horsewhip. Suddenly, a choking smell made him sniffle: "You smell it, what kind of smell is this?" ”
"Well, it's familiar......"
"Huh? This smell seems to be ......," one of the generals snorted hard.
It is a common ...... when defending a city Kerosene? ”
How can there be fire oil in a wilderness like Hulukou? Hong Boyan Timur frowned, always feeling that things were not so simple.
Suddenly, only the sound of bangs was heard, and countless torches suddenly lit up on the mountain inside the mouth of the gourd at the same time, illuminating the entire mouth of the gourd as bright as day. The sudden appearance of the strong light made Yuan Jun almost unable to open his eyes. Hong Boyan Timur also lost the ability to think for a while, and could only instinctively control the anxious war horse under his crotch, and at the same time shield the light of the torch with his hand: "What? What's the situation? ”
"Whole army, release the arrows!"
Faintly, Hong Boyan Timur saw a young man holding a folding fan, who was giving orders loudly on the hillside. As a general, he reflexively shouted for the Yuan soldiers to erect shields, but when he saw that the countless Ming troops on the mountain did not shoot arrows directly, but lit the arrows on the torches first, his heart suddenly cooled half.
"Rockets! It's a rocket! What the Ming army wants to release is a rocket! Hong Boyan Timur's eyes widened.
By the light of the torches, he could see the countless liquids that flowed on the ground, as well as the dry and flammable vegetation that could be seen everywhere. At this time, he remembered a key element that he had miscalculated: normal ambush is indeed easy to fall into the chaos of night battle.
But there is also a method of setting up an ambush, not only does not have to fall into a melee, but can even kill and injure the Yuan army under his command on a larger scale.
That is: Fire Attack!
Rumble!
As the rain of arrows from the rockets fell in the night, the entire gourd mouth instantly ignited a monstrous flame. Although the rocket could not do much damage to the Yuan soldiers who raised their shields, the flames fell on the fire oil, the bushes, and the felt hats of the soldiers......
In the mouth of the entire gourd, the screams shook the sky!
Above the valley mouth, Zhu Su gently shook the "Don't talk about martial arts" folding fan in his hand, looking at the Yuan army who was screaming and running because of the fire, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Who said that the ambush soldiers had to fight in person?
Damn, Eryang. It's really uncomfortable.,I'll update a chapter today.,I'll make up for it when I'm better.。
Be careful, everybody! I feel that this wave is more ruthless than the previous ones......
