Chapter 334: The Decisive Battle of the Blue Hoof Pavilion III

"Judging by the number of shadows, there are at least three thousand or more."

Behind a small hill, Du Du and the other scouts lay on the ground, and the few torches on the road not far from him could only give a vague hint of a human figure.

For the safety and concealment of the road, Tang Yannian's march ordered every 300 people to light a torch, and each soldier followed closely behind.

The scout captain beside Du Du said: "Beizi, the Ming people are fighting against my Eight Banners warriors in the front, but they are divided into troops, and they must be sneaking up to surround us." ”

Du Du nodded: "Yes, this is the usual trick used by the Ming people, but they seem to have forgotten the lesson of Salhu, and they still dare to divide their troops in a foreign country, do they go?" ”

"It's time for the time reinforcements to come."

"The torch is extinguished..."

Du Du heard the sound and looked over, his heart was horrified, the opponent suddenly extinguished the torch, either found them, or had achieved the goal, thinking of this, Du Du immediately got up and ran down the hill, and immediately got on the horse and left with people.

He is very self-aware, especially for Chen Cao's troops, even the Great Khan often said that if he faces Chen Cao in the future, he must be cautious, he only has more than 100 people under his command, and the number of opponents has exceeded 1,000.

Tang Yannian stood on the hillside where Du Du had stayed before, his hands clenched, his face serious.

Sure enough, Liu Butang, the commander of the third division, walked up and said in a deep voice: "The horse manure is fresh, and it should have just left." ”

"How far is this from the Blue Hoof Pavilion?"

"Report to the military seat, there are less than ten miles."

Ten miles away, the cavalry can arrive in the time of a cup of tea, Tang Yannian looked at the surrounding environment by the faint moonlight, except for this small hillside, the surrounding distances are mountains and wasteland, the road in the southeast direction is the road leading to the Blue Hoof Pavilion, but it is not spacious, and the scout returns will not be a plain until this road is passed.

"Order, the whole army stops, and builds fortifications along the way."

"Throne, isn't it?"

Tang Yannian looked at Liu Butang: "Old Liu, the Tartars are coming." ”

In a short time, several artillery shots rang out in the distance, and the soldiers who were building fortifications at the forward headquarters of the Third Division raised their heads, and suddenly the surrounding area exploded in unison.

"Enemy attack..."

"Here comes the Tartars..."

'Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...'

The sound of cannons continued one after another, bringing with them the wails of the soldiers.

Tang Yannian turned his head to look at the soldiers beside him: "Shenwu Cannon..."

"Military seat, the Shenwu cannon is still behind after dismantling..."

"Hurry up and bring it here..."

'Knock knock...'

Boom boom...

The sound of the bombs echoed in the artillery of the North Korean army, and the number of North Korean soldiers killed increased sharply.

Zilharang and Du Du were immediately in the distance, looking at the explosion and fire on their side, they looked at Du Du and said, "You really said it..."

Du Du nodded: "The usual tricks of the Ming people, I dare to guarantee that they will dispatch at least more than 5,000 people." ”

The Ming army of 3,000 men would not carry such heavy artillery, because it would be a burden, so Du Du could believe that the opponent must be more than 5,000 men.

"The reinforcements from the battalion will come soon, Li Sizhong has more artillery, and the terrain in the valley is responsible, which is not suitable for cavalry, so we will block it here."

After Du Du finished speaking, he rode forward a few dozen steps.

.

"Xin Lao's third division is the main force of the forward, the second division is divided into the left and right wings except for the sixth brigade, the first division leaves the third brigade as the reserve force, Feng Zhongping, you take the rest of the people in the center, Cao Shixiu is the commander-in-chief of the forward army."

"Yes..."

All the departments replied in unison, and Chen Cao stood up: "After nightfall, the terrain of North Korea effectively hinders the cavalry of Jiannu, but the Tonghyeon Pass in front is a trouble, as long as we rush over, our army will win this battle." ”

"Victory..."

"Daming Wansheng..."

The strength of the Jiannu cavalry is a fact that has been thought by the Ming Dynasty since Salhu, and Chen Cao does not dare to underestimate it, after all, he always remembers the battle in Xipingbao back then.

"Lord Wang, a messenger from General Liu's side."

A knight ran into the camp and saluted Chen Cao, who was in a meeting: "Lord Wang, this is brought by General Liu's order." ”

After handing over the letter, the knight said: "General Liu thinks that it is very likely that Jiannu will come with tens of thousands of reinforcements, and he also asks the prince to prepare early." ”

After reading the letter, Chen Cao handed it to the others to see, then frowned and looked at the map, and said for a long time: "Liu Xingzuo thinks that Jiannu's reinforcements are no less than 50,000, and he is preparing to abandon the previously established strategy, so as to sneak attack Jiannu's grain and grass behind the Bihu Pavilion. ”

Feng Zhongping said: "Lord Wang, didn't our plan fall through like this?" Even if he Liu Xingzuo is a general of Liaodong appointed by the prince, he can't act arbitrarily, so now that the big war is imminent, breaking the military order, the prince, the last general will ask the prince to punish him severely. ”

Many generals spoke out in unison, expressing their agreement with Feng Zhongping's words, after all, now is a critical moment for the two armies to fight.

If Liu Xingzuo's 52nd Division does not arrive, there is a gap in the right flank, even if they defeat Jiannu, the opponent can still calmly withdraw.

Chen Cao kept staring at the map without speaking, and after a long time, he quieted down in the tent before turning to look at Xu Fuyuan: "What do you think?" ”

Xu Fuyuan thought for a long time, and then said, "Maybe it's okay..."

"Lord Wang..."

"Join the Army..."

Hearing the conversation between the two, some of the generals behind him were anxious.

Chen Cao turned around and looked at Feng Zhongping, who was in the lead: "North Korea is short of grain, if Jiannu is really more than 100,000 people, then grain and grass are the key, our every move is monitored by Jiannu, not counting the traitors, at least they were scouted by their scouts, since Liu Xingzuo found their baggage team, as long as they succeed, then it will be the next battle of Guandu...

This king...

It's Cao Cao...

Amin has to do Yuan Shao once. ”

"All ministries, there must be no more objections, and act quickly according to the original plan..."

"Yes..."

.

"Your Majesty... People are coming..."

Han Jinzhe personally took a dusty person into Li Zhen's study.

The person who came respectfully saluted Li Xun: "Your Majesty, please be well..."

Li Zhen nodded, and then said, "Lord Zhao has figured it out?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, your Excellency thinks that compared to the Southern Dynasty of the Ming Kingdom, the Northern Dynasty and the Jin people are close to our North Korea, and the leader of the council is even more overjoyed when he learns that His Majesty is willing to take his daughter."

Li Zhen's brows furrowed, and then said, "What's going on?" ”

"The 100,000 troops of the Jin Kingdom went south, and the small ones have carefully observed, all of them are brave warriors, and they are by no means comparable to those southern barbarians of the Ming Kingdom;

In addition, in the battle of the day, although both sides won and lost, but in general the Jin people won the battle, their chariots blocked the muskets of the Ming army, advanced to their positions, and destroyed their artillery array...

The prince of the Ming Kingdom was annoyed and angry, and personally led his troops to charge into battle..."

Li Xun glanced at the dark place behind the left, and the person who came found that there was actually a person sitting in the dark place in the right front corner of his right, but he couldn't see it clearly.

"Your Majesty, the time has come..."

Li Xun looked at the person who was a little excited, and said, "You go back and tell Zhao Dongxue that everything is going according to plan..."

The visitor bowed down, and then slowly retreated.

This is Shen Shi Juncai in the shadows slowly walked up to Li Yu and sat down: "The Dragon and Tiger Camp can be fought, let the city be chaotic first, and create momentum..."

Li Wei nodded: "Then it's all up to the teacher, Han Jinzhe..."

"Your Majesty..."

"Let Kong Cheng prepare..."

"Yay (Korean mood particle, equivalent to 'yes')..."

.

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

Fierce gunfire exploded at the Tongxian Pass, Amin looked at the firelight and shouts of killing in the distance, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Erli beside him: "What's going on over there on Bald Mountain?" ”

"According to the report from Du Du, there are at least 5,000 people in Minggou outside the valley of Bald Mountain, and they are fighting with us."

"Since the Ming people can carry out artillery battles, then the army in the direction of Bald Mountain is at least the main force of the Ming army."

"Could it be that Chen Cao is in the Bald Mountain Valley?"

Ning Wan looked at the puzzled Amin, and then pondered: "That's what Juniper did back then..."

In addition to learning the tactics of the Jurchen from the captured Ming Dynasty generals, they learned more from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

"That's how juniper doesn't work."

Thinking of Juniper, Mang Gurtai on the side immediately became a lot excited, because he personally cut off Juniper's head: "Amin, if I go to the Bald Mountain Valley, how can the two boys of Zilharang and Dudu do it?" ”

The battle in front was fierce, and several people asking for help came, because not only in the center, but also the Ming troops on the left and right flanks attacked like crazy, which caught them a little off guard.

"Here we go again..."

A knight ran under the gaze of Erley: "Baylor, the Ming army on the left flank has broken through to the Tongxian Pass, Lord Jiala, please help." ”

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

At this time, the gunfire was very close, and Li Sizhong's firearms troops were assembling in the Balshan Valley.

"That's not right..."

Amin thought for a moment, and then looked at Ning Wan: "Mr. Ning, do you think why Mingren works so hard?" ”

Ning Wan looked at Amin and asked tentatively, "Baylor thinks it's over there?" ”

Mang Gurtai went straight to the point, and he couldn't understand the conversation between the two, so he was anxious: "The second brother will speak quickly." ”

"I thought that the Ming army in front of us was so fierce in order to create an illusion for us, Chen Cao was not here at all, but took people to the Bald Mountain Valley..."

After all, if you can start an artillery battle, it is enough to prove that the opponent has a large number of artillery, a large number of men, and the leader of the army is not small.
