Chapter 35: Burning the Company Camp

Lan Yu didn't want to go back like this, but with the current situation, even if he continued to fight, it would be difficult to make progress, unless the opponent made a major mistake.

As a qualified general, he will never pin his hopes of victory on the enemy's mistakes.

Lan Yu pondered for a long time and said, "Everyone, our grain and grass are still enough for nearly three months, and we have at most half a month after the necessary consumption of the class master to return to the dynasty." ”

"Then fight for another half a month." Wang Cong said, "Dashuai, this time we sent 100,000 troops, and now we have lost more than half, if we go back like this, how can we explain to the emperor?" ”

"We?" One of the lords sneered, "It's you, right? ”

"It's just, now that you know you can't explain?" The other general chimed in, "Wasn't it quite able to run before?" ”

"Before the fight, I was afraid that we would rob you of the credit, but now that you have lost the battle, do you know the united front?"

Wang Cong and Li Yuan's faces were red-faced, and they really couldn't defend the accusations of everyone.

"Alright." Lan Yu shouted, "Now is not the time to hold accountable. ”

The generals saw that the handsome man was angry, and then stopped ridiculing.

Li Yuan hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, the last general is willing to lead all the way to the hinterland of Tatar and fight until the last moment." ”

He is irrefutable, and he is willing to die to make his will clear.

"The last general is also willing." Wang Cong was red-eyed and followed.

Lan Yu shook his head: "It's late, the battle between the two sides has begun, how can the Tatars be defenseless, and if they go, they will be sent to death in vain, and it is impossible to win by surprise." ”

"What do you mean by ......?"

"Wait." Lan Yu said lightly, "Wait for them to attack us by surprise." ”

The generals couldn't help but be silent, the number was inferior to the other party, and if they responded to the enemy in a defensive posture, it would be too passive.

The Yuan people were almost all cavalry, and once they were killed, it would be difficult for the Ming army to bargain even if they were well prepared.

Lan Yu walked to the sand table, carefully observed the surrounding terrain, and after a moment, ordered, "Twenty miles to the north, where the north is high and the south is low, we only need to defend one place;

Prepare the horse rejection stakes, set up the horse rejection array, set up artillery, shield soldiers......"

A quarter of an hour later, the generals were ordered to leave one after another, and began to arrange the strategic deployment of the commander.

In the handsome tent, only Li Qing, the prison army, was left, as well as Li Yuan and Wang Cong.

"Li Qing, the wound on your face ......" Lan Yu watched the flesh and skin on Li Qing's face roll, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

Thinking about how handsome Li Qing was at the beginning, Li Jinglong, who was dignified, was a few points inferior.

"I'm fine." Li Qing grinned, "Man, just look at it, what's the matter with broken appearance?" ”

Lan Yu smiled, "With me here, you're dispensable as a prisoner." ”

After a pause, "With the current situation, it is basically impossible to win this battle, but we can make them uncomfortable." ”

"What is the specific uncomfortable method?" Li Qing asked.

"Put on your tartar clothes, and when the great war begins, go on a detour to their camp and light their tents." Lan Yu said, "The number of people can't be large, too many are easy to be exposed in advance, and it is extremely dangerous, and it is very likely that you will not be able to come back." ”

"The last will go." Li Yuan and Wang Cong confessed their hearts.

Lan Yu didn't pay attention to the two, but looked at Li Qing, "I will only give you two hundred people, this is the last chance, no matter whether you succeed or not, the army will be a teacher, and we can't afford it." ”

"I understand." Li Qing nodded.

~

"Is that him?" A touch of tenderness appeared in Mu Zhuo'er's wild eyes, but it was quickly replaced by wildness, "Someone." ”

After a while, the general came in to salute, "King." ”

"What about our casualties?"

"In the two wars, a total of nearly 15,000 were killed and nearly 20,000 were wounded." Ah Man was the first to reply, "But many of them are slightly injured, and they can still fight again, and the strength of the battle is about sixty-five thousand." ”

Mu Zhuo'er nodded with satisfaction, "Where did the Ming army withdraw?" ”

"Northerly, one hundred and twenty miles." A Man said, "That terrain, high in the north and low in the south, is most suitable for attacking from the north, which is convenient for cavalry to charge." ”

"King." The first general spoke, "The last general thinks that this is a deliberate act by the Ming army, and it must set up a heavy defense in the north, so it is better for us to go the opposite way and advance from the south." ”

"No." Another general objected, "The terrain in the south is from low to high, and our cavalry will not be able to rush up at all, and it will even lead to self-chaos." ”

"Agreed, what if they put up a defense?" Another chimed in, "We have the advantage, and we naturally want to give full play to our advantages." ”

Mu Zhuo'er pondered for a long time and sighed, "Attacking from the north is the offensive route designed for us by the commander of the Ming army, but we know this, but we have to attack according to their route;

In the words of the Han Chinese, this is called Yangmou;

But...... So what? ”

She said categorically, "All conspiracies and conspiracies, in the face of absolute strength, will be vulnerable, rectify the army, and march in one day!" ”

Aman asked, "Wang, how many troops will be sent this time?" ”

"The wounded remained, and the rest went to war." Mu Zhuoer took a deep breath, "Capture the other party's boss and supervisor alive!" ”

"Yes."

……

Here, Li Qing, Wang Cong, and Li Yuan gathered 200 elite cavalry, changed into the clothes of the Tatar army, hung a large number of torches on their saddles, and were always ready for a surprise attack.

Sapphire chose to face the enemy head-on, in order to provide them with a chance to attack at night.

Unlike the Yuan and Han Chinese, their homes are tents that are easy to burn.

Once the tents were burned, they could only rob the tents of other tribes, which also achieved the goal of attrition of the Tatars.

Let the meta people fight the meta people, and the effect is better.

But this time, the Ming army's bright record will not be better no matter what.

Two days later, at midnight.

The Tatars attacked the camp at night, and the Ming army had already prepared and immediately lined up to meet them.

Li Qing didn't care about the frontal battlefield, and went straight to the Tatar base camp with Wang Cong and Li Yuan.

"Drive ......!"

The two hundred cavalry squads galloped all the way, not daring to rest for a moment.

With maps in hand and a Tatar army coming forward, it's not hard to guess where their base camp will be.

In the evening of the next day, Li Qing and others found the location of the Tatar camp.

Wang Cong and Li Yuan were inexplicably excited, and when they saw the Tatar army patrolling all the way coming, Wang Cong said: "Yongqing Hou, the other party has already seen us, we can't wait any longer." ”

Li Qing glanced up and said softly: "Take a detour, avoid them, slow down, don't arouse their vigilance, and wait until it's dark, and then do it." ”

So saying, he turned his horse's head and hurried to the other side.

Li Qing proved to be too idealistic, and a quarter of an hour later, the Tatar army in charge of the inspection, seeing that they had never met him head-on, immediately became alert and chased after him.

"Damn, it!"

Li Qing scolded, raised his horsewhip, and galloped wildly.

Wang Cong and Li Yuan immediately followed and rushed straight to the Tatar camp.

At this time, it was already getting dark, and the Tatar army behind him immediately realized that it was not good when they saw this posture.

But Li Qing and the others were too fast, and rushed to the camp.

"Kill ......!"

Li Qing wielded a spear, taking the lead and being invincible.

It was so sudden that the Tatars did not have time to defend, and the Ming cavalry rushed into the camp.

Then, the Ming army immediately lit torches and threw them at the tent.

The tents were very flammable, and in a short time the Tatar camp was filled with smoke, and the Tatar wounded soldiers, women and children were choked out and cursed.

Li Qing and his party didn't care at all, and they didn't even care about killing the enemy, so they just dispersed and threw torches at the tent one by one.

In only half an hour, the two hundred squads lit hundreds of tents, and with the wind, the burning tent remnants blew onto the other tents, and suddenly black smoke billowed and the fire filled the sky.

The wind fuels the fire, and the fire rises by the wind.

A quarter of an hour later, the Tatar camp was in disarray.

"Damn, happy, happy......!" Wang Cong and Li Yuan were addicted, and finally let out a bad breath.

……

"Put away the tent first." Mu Zhuoer decisively gave an order, "Don't try to put out the fire, quickly collect the tent and kill the Ming army." ”

Soon, the Tatar army with colored colors on their bodies rushed up to kill them, blocking Li Qing's way forward with their flesh and blood, and at the same time, the camp tent in front was gradually put away.

"What a quick response!" Li Qing scolded secretly and immediately began to break through.

With the blessing of his true qi, he stared at him and rushed out of a hole.

Then, he lit the last torch, soaked in fire oil, and threw it with all his might, towards the largest yurt.

didn't have time to see the results, Li Qing took a deep breath and shouted softly: "Withdraw!" ”

This shout spread far and wide, and even Mu Zhuoer in the camp heard it.

"Want to run?" Mu Zhuoer was furious, rushed out of his scimitar, stepped on his bow and arrows, and immediately left the camp.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her front feet came out, the torches came closer, and before she could react, her tent was lit by the torches.

"Ahh......h Mu Zhuo'er stomped her feet angrily, "I can't spare you!" ”

She pulled up the battle flag planted on the ground and waved it vigorously.

After a short time, the scattered Ming army was forced back, and there were Tatar troops in all directions, and Li Qing and others were surrounded by regiments.

Wang Cong said to Li Qing: "Marquis Yongqing, the battlefield died today. ”

"Killing one is enough, killing two is profitable." Li Yuan echoed, "Rush!" ”

Li Qing raised his eyes and looked around, and there were Tatar troops as far as he could see, although most of them were wounded, but the hope of breaking through was almost zero.

He sighed and was about to give the order to charge, but at this moment, a voice sounded in front of him: "Give up resistance, you can save your life." ”

Li Qing, who was worried, was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "Kill me with me!" ”

Capture the thief and capture the king, and catch this leader, there may be a chance to turn around.
