Chapter 182: The Mongol Cavalry Attacked
Zhang Bao, like everyone in the prison car, was like a walking corpse, without resistance, and did not even try to escape.
In the past few days, he has completely lost his faith, and even "Heaven" has abandoned him and no longer gives him the slightest help.
“………………”
Contrary to the servant slaves who were locked in the cages of the wooden carts, the atmosphere among the caravan masters and management became more and more happy, and even the dozens of guards at the bottom were in a better and better mood, because the border post city was ahead.
The hard days now are coming to an end!
“…………”
In the border post city, they will be greeted by buyers with deep pockets, endless wines, and intoxicating gentleness of pink.
The most important thing is that the caravan has entered the territory of the border post city, and when it reaches the land of Fanei, it will not encounter any danger.
There is no need to be afraid, for fear that robbers or small groups of Mongolian cavalry will come to fight them, and then they are afraid that they will be empty of people and money, and there will be no bones left.
However, this idea was shattered on the night of the fifth day, when the caravan was only a little more than a day's journey from the frontier post town, and the road was getting smoother and smoother, and the surrounding greenery was getting heavier, and villages began to populate, not at all like bandits or Mongol cavalry.
What they don't know is that what awaits them will be an extremely miserable death, the lips and teeth are cold, the country is about to die, how can the people be safe?
“…………”
Black clouds piled up in the air, and the dry and cold air pierced people's noses, like a hook hanging deep in their noses, and with every breath, there was a dull exhalation sound, and a thin layer of white ice accumulated on the ground.
Rows of black-armored light cavalry marched silently in the night, except for the crisp sound of horses' hooves, only the whistling of the night wind, no one spoke, and no other sound was heard.
"After the mountain col in front of you, you will be the "border post city"! The Mongol cavalry scout, with a gloomy face, pointed to a slope not far away, where a valley could be faintly seen, in which cowhide tents stood and a low makeshift wall enclosed it like a circle.
This Mongolian cavalry scout who led the way, who had disguised himself as a Han a year ago, had made a big deal of inquiries about the Shanxi territory, and he was naturally very clear about the prosperous city of Bianyi City.
"Prosperous border post city, I and my compatriots came here with scimitars this time, and a group of weak sheep who are addicted to stability and drunkenness, the descendants of wolves, this time we are here to prepare to kill people and slaughter the city!"
Seeing that he was about to arrive at the border post city, this Mongolian cavalry scout who knew the "prosperity" of the border post city suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart, and he was ready to massacre and plunder in the "border post city" city.
Because of the opening of a dangerous walled city that was originally heavily guarded, the Mongol cavalry that entered the Shanxi region in the south was divided into two routes.
20,000 Mongolian light cavalry first entered the Qinghai Plain and turned into the "Taiyuan City" along the route of the northward advance, while another group of more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry troops plunged directly into the "Border Post City" along the winding and difficult mountain range, like two iron pincers towards the entire northwest region.
On the part of the Mongol Empire, the high-level leaders made a battle plan, preparing to occupy the entire northwest region within a month, and then conquer the entire north.
“………………”
According to the intelligence of the Mongolian light cavalry scout spies, there were 15,000 infantry of the Manchu court stationed in the "border post city", and Hu Kemaao, the commander of the Mongolian nationality, now has the main task of sneaking up on the "border post city" and opening a smooth road for the next hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry troops who are ready to go.
Hu Kemaao gently comforted the restless Qianli Jian Ma under his crotch with his hand, such a night, so quiet, reminded him of the great battle thirty years ago between the Manchus and the Mongols, with a total of 800,000 troops.
On that occasion, the 300,000 cavalry and 10,000 troops of the Jungar Mongol Empire were devastated, breaking through five cities in one day and one night, and completely annihilating hundreds of thousands of Manchu Qing troops, once again proving the strength of the first strongest army of the Mongol Empire.
Unfortunately, due to his age, Hukomaao missed the big battle, which has always made Hulima proud angry, and now his chance has come.
"This time. I will write my legend and carry forward the prestige of the Hutes! Hukomaao's left hand grasped the reins of the horse, and his right hand held the hilt of the war knife engraved with patterns, a kind of blood and killing meaning, boiling in his heart.
"Order the whole army to prepare!" Hukomaao's face was serious, and he ordered his Mongolian light cavalry companions behind him, and there was a sound of the friction of a war knife unsheathed in the quiet night,
Then the surroundings fell silent, the swords of the snow emitted a cold light in the dark night, like a layer of phosphorescent light rippling on the surface of the water, and the face armor of the Mongolian light cavalry had been lowered, revealing only a pair of murderous eyes.
"The first team entered the east of the border post city from the east side! The second team destroyed the back gate of the border post city from the west side, and the other teams came with me and attacked the city directly! “
Hu Kemaao whispered to the two henchmen centurions beside him, "brushing" Hu Kemaao's right hand firmly drew out the snow bright war knife, pointed to the border post city in the distance, and shouted, "Fellow citizens! Let's use our swords to open the way to victory, and plunder the wealth and women of the Qing Dynasty who are as weak as sheep! ”
The wind was blowing in his ears, and Hukoma was lying on the horse's back, his bent back and the horse's jumping horse were closely intertwined, and it was only thirty miles away from the border post city, and more than 10,000 Mongolian light cavalry troops galloped wildly, and it would only take a little more than a moment to arrive.
In the cold night fog, more than 10,000 Mongolian light cavalry, like a demon god haunting the night, rushed to the border post city, after a pillar of incense, a row of wooden fences quickly appeared in the pass in front of Hu Maao, and piles of yellow tents were distributed on both sides.
"That's not right!" Seeing this, Hu Kemaao's face changed slightly, and the camp tents that suddenly appeared in front of him were one or two hundred, densely turning into the corner of the canyon in front of him. There was no end in sight, there were obviously more than one or two hundred, and at least four or five hundred.
Although "......" is just these people, Hu Kemaao does not take it to heart, after all, he has more than 10,000 Mongolian elite light cavalry behind him.
As long as he gives the order, after a rain of volleys of arrows, all the four or five hundred people in this camp will be turned into hedgehogs, and there will be no one left.
But for some reason, there was always a feeling of unease in his heart.
"How could there suddenly be a camp that is clearly inhabited by caravanserais, damn the intelligence department, it's all a bunch of rubbish!" Hukmaao scolded indignantly in his heart.
It was obvious that the scout spy had mistaken the information, either the news was revealed, or the caravan had only been stationed here in the past few days, and it was very unfortunate to meet him.
The camp was dark, with only a few patrolmen walking along the fence, and the sound of horses' hooves in the night was like a dull winter thunder, a strange noise that overwhelmed the guards at the camp gates. They all looked around.
"The whole army is assaulted, kill me! Kill! Kill! ”
The military situation is urgent, and it is too late to think about it, not to mention the absolute power, which can overwhelm anything, Hucoma shouted proudly, and the war horse jumped up with a whirlwind, and leaped over the low fence of the canyon pass,
"Bumping" a galloping horse knocked one guard to the ground, and Hukoma slashed over another guard with a knife, "Pull out the fence!" Hukmaao shouted to the light cavalry behind him, and the sword in his hand flashed, cutting several thick ropes that bound the fence and the pass, "Knock! There was a crunch on the fence around the perimeter.
A hook was thrown from the hands of the Mongolian light cavalry who passed quickly, with a loud bang, sawdust flew, more than a dozen horizontal logs were withdrawn by a strong force, and the wooden fence was cut into several by dozens of galloping war horses, and then the Mongolian light cavalry that followed up poured in like a tide, the horse's hooves flew, the hook of the war horse removed the tent, and the Mongolian light cavalry behind stepped directly from the guards who were still resting.
The patrol guards of the camp were obviously frightened, and did not even shout the alarm, shouting like ducks being driven, and fled in all directions.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill these weak sheep! Hukomaao didn't expect it to be so smooth, just a charge of more than a thousand cavalry of the front army could flatten the entire camp in an instant.
Hu Kema smiled coldly, took out a longbow from the weapon slot on the horse's cross, then took out a long arrow from the quiver behind his back, pulled the longbow away, put the long arrow on the bow body, and shot it violently.
"Smack!"
An unlucky guard was shot through the head by a speeding arrow, blood slowly flowed out of the hole, and the corpse that fell to the ground became completely cold after a while.
What's even worse is that the corpses that fell to the ground were trampled by the crowd of war horses rushing from behind, and countless Mongolian light cavalry drew their bows and shot arrows at Hukomaao to shoot the guards.
Many corpses lay on the cold ground, blood staining the ground red like blooming flowers.
The mountain wind burst through, and the passes between the canyons were even more windy, and a group of cavalry rode through on horseback, and the whole camp was like a fragile wooden model, hula, hulala, and was instantly crushed and defeated.
"Someone sneak attacked! Someone sneak attacked! "The sleeping caravan members in the camp ran out of their tents like ants that had been turned over, only to be met by a group of Mongol light cavalry. It was quickly overwhelmed by the rushing Mongol light cavalry.
The sound of horses' hooves resounded across the land, and another group of Mongolian light cavalry rushed in from the right, like a hurricane, scurrying in all directions, swords and blood splattered, leaving a place of wreckage and bones.
"Don't care about these weak sheep who want to escape, time waits for no one, hurry up and attack the border post city for me, quickly! Fast! Fast! ”
Hackmaao slashed down an enemy that was in his way, and found that most of the people in the caravan had been slaughtered by his own men, Hookmaao frowned slightly, and said loudly to several thousands of commanders behind him.
"......, what the hell! Have these guys forgotten what the real purpose is? Hukmaao reined in his horse at the corner of the canyon, and his heart calmed down his murderous mood.
