0524, seize Manmo

Burgud, 25 years old, was a Mongolian boy who joined the army in the Uzhumuqin Division, and is now the commander of the cavalry battalion of Yang Hu of the rear army of the Western Route Army.

The eight hundred men and horses of the cavalry battalion left the large army and acted alone, and it had been three days and three nights, as if they had disappeared from the world.

In fact, they did not disappear, but according to the order of Yang Hu, the captain of the Xiao Cavalry, they turned from light to darkness three days ago.

The cavalry battalion led by Bulgud was not idle, but endured all the hardships, much harder and more dangerous than the infantry battalion facing the enemy head-on.

After leaving Tianma Pass, he went out day and night, interspersed a hundred and twenty miles to the south, and then turned around and went north along the Irrawaddy River, and now 800 people were ambushed in a dense forest ten miles south of Manmo Town.

Only a five-person team reached out close to Manmo Town, lurking three miles away from the east gate of Manmo Town.

Three of the five were converted from the captives.

Because the garrison of Tianma Pass captured more than 800 people is the troops of Meng Yang's partial general Wu Bogang, they are of course very familiar with this area.

When more than 2,000 people went out for the first time in Manmo Town, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion thought that if they went out to fight an ambush, they would definitely not suffer.

"If the enemy doesn't move, you can't move, not even after 10,000 years. If all the enemies are dispatched, you have to act according to the plan. This involves the life and death of our entire army, and success or failure is here, don't make a mess for me. ”

Before Bulgud set off with his troops, Yang Hu confessed these two sentences in private.

After questioning the captured recruits, Burgud knew that there were still nearly 2,000 troops in Manmo Town, and the main general Wu Bogang had not yet come out, so Burgud immediately gave up the idea of taking the initiative to attack and ordered the troops to continue to hide.

The "10,000 years" mentioned in the military order is still early, so wait.

Unexpectedly, it was a day and a night to wait like this, and it was not until the early morning of the next day, when Wu Bogang led the troops out of the city, that Burgud began to get nervous.

This nervousness was not fear in his heart, but a strong excitement caused by the expansion of his blood, so his whole body tensed.

After three days of suffering, it is now the last moment, and it is the last moment of success or failure.

Acting according to the plan means acting in accordance with Yang Hu's established policy, which shows that Yang Hu had long expected that things would develop like this.

As for why the enemy would act according to Yang Hu's design steps, this is not something that Burgud needs to consider.

What he has to do now is to "act according to the plan".

"Arrange the saddle belt, check the weapons with you, and attack at any time. ”

As the battle was about to break out, Bourgud lowered his voice and commanded, and at the same time began to check his own qiē.

Burgud's weapon was an iron spear with forty-eight pounds, which was taught by Liu Guozhi, the commander of the cavalry battalion.

Liu Guozhi, Gan Changji, and more than 700 brothers were ambushed and killed in the Sword Pavilion, but the tradition of the Xiaocai Battalion all being iron spears was still preserved.

An hour later, Wu Bogang led the second group of enemies to leave the distance of Manmo Town, which should be about fifteen miles.

"Everyone is silent, moving towards the east gate against the dense forest, and the scouts are responsible for opening the east gate!"

Scouts are two veterans and three captives converted into recruits.

It turned out that Yang Hu's order to "act according to the plan" to the Burgud cavalry battalion was not to participate in the battle to annihilate the enemy, but to seize the town of Manmo and control the crossing of the Irrawaddy River after the enemy's main force left.

The capture of Manmo Town was only a minor part of the campaign, but it was a crucial step, as the three objectives set by Yang Hu had to be achieved.

The first purpose was to cut off the connection between the upper and lower reaches of the Irrawaddy River and control the ferry crossing of Manmozhen.

To the north of Manmo Town is Myitkyina Mengyang Comfort Mission, and to the south is Awa Comfort Mission, cutting them in two, thus losing the possibility of cooperating with each other, which is the second purpose.

The cavalry battalion occupied the dove's nest, so that Wu Bogang's troops became "lost dogs" because they lost their nests, and then annihilated them in the wilderness, which was the third purpose.

Yang Hu's original statement that "success or failure is in one move" was to require the Bulgud cavalry battalion to seize the town of Manmo, and to hold on here like a nail before the large army arrived.

There were only three hundred defenders in Manmo Town, and they were still old, weak, sick and disabled. Coupled with the fact that the main general Wu Bogang left on the front foot, the entire Manmo Town did not expect that there would be an enemy.

The fact that one's main forces are fighting outside and that the enemy suddenly appears at home is a cruel reality that no one can accept.

The three hundred defenders could not accept it either, so they had to resist.

But it was useless to resist, because the general had just left the city, and the gates had not yet been closed. By the time the three hundred defenders remembered to close the city gates, the two centurians of the cavalry battalion had already rushed into the city like a furious rush.

The next thing was that the Bulgud cavalry battalion had the final say, and the rest of the men were either obedient or lost their heads.

The town of Manmo was a small city, and Burgud felt that it was more appropriate to call it "Four Mile City", because the sides of the city walls were one mile long.

"According to the original plan, it was divided into two, and 400 men carried out a great purge of the whole city to collect materials that could be used for defense. The other 400 men closed the gates and went up to the walls to prepare for a defensive battle!"

Bulgund's horse rested on the only cross street, his spear in his right hand and his eyes looked around, and he gave the order coldly.

The 300 defenders were killed for their stubborn resistance, and all that remained was to clear the people who were ready to move.

Now it was a black tiger that punched the heart of the enemy, and it must not leave the slightest hidden danger.

In the face of enemies on all sides, a city-wide purge is an inevitable action and a last resort.

War is synonymous with blood, and it has nothing to do with mercy.

The purpose of war is to conquer cities, and the best means is to take advantage of the fire.

As a result, all around you are enemies.

Killing all enemies to ensure your own safety is the only option, there is no second way.

Show your kindness, which will only come after the end of the war.

There is no doubt that there will be a massacre in the early stages of the war, and this is a reality that no one can change.

Born a slave and having seen too many bloody massacres, Bourgud did not want to kill too many people.

But now that he heard that there were more than nineteen thousand people in the small town of Manmo, more than twenty times the size of his own cavalry battalion, Burgoud's back was covered with cold sweat.

Covered in cold sweat, the order given by Bourgood was naturally cold and without the slightest heat.

In fact, there is still some heat, that is, those who are crooked in the face of the cavalry battalion soldiers.

When their heads fell to the ground, the blood spurting from their necks carried the heat.

Kill those who should be killed, do what should be done, this is the military order.

It was here that Bourgud put the town of Manmo in order, and on the other side there was already a more brutal and dramatic change.

Yang Hu used an unfinished camp to confuse the enemy, just to figure out that "smart people do stupid things" to create more confusion for the enemy.

Creating confusion is not the goal, making the enemy unable to make accurate judgments is Yang Hu's means.

War is not a one-man game.

More than a month has passed, and all the things that happened north of Tianma Pass before should have spread all over now.

The news of the southward movement of the Three-Way Army is certainly no longer a secret.

When secrecy becomes a public event, the suddenness of the battle is gone.

Without the suddenness of the battle, the next step can only be the pretense of intrigue and intrigue, and the head-to-head confrontation will take a back seat.

Xiong Chu is a killer, and all the killer's actions are conspiracy before he stabs a sword at the end.

As Xiong Chu's disciple, Yang Hu certainly learned a lot of things from his master.

Now, Yang Hu received the help of Wu Bogang and his army, and he brought a large crossbow arrow rack.

The large crossbow arrows were stored as siege weapons, with a range of more than 600 paces, and their own Kong Ming crossbow and arrow vehicles were dwarfed.

Facing off against large crossbow arrows, that belongs to living impatiently and looking for their own death.

As a killer's apprentice, of course Yang Hu would not do this, and he did not think of a head-on duel with the enemy in his plan.

At noon the next day, the attack began the moment the enemy's two armies converged.

As soon as the enemy's offensive formation unfolded, and before the charge was launched, Yang Hu had already given an order, and the newly formed infantry battalion did not have the slightest intention of resisting, but turned around and ran away.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a day and a night, and finally prepared for a big battle, but the other side fled without a fight, and put it on anyone, it would produce the feeling of "punching in the cotton pile and having nowhere to focus".

If this punch is too forceful, it is likely that he will also flash his waist and fall into a herniated lumbar disc.

Wu Bogang, who had just rushed over, was very angry, really angry.

Since the enemy is so timid and afraid, his own reinforcements are just adding to the snake, and the effort is purely in vain.

Now that he has already come, and he is ready to attack the city, of course Wu Bogang will not count it like this.

Pressing up and attacking the city is a choice that has no choice.

The five-mile road is not far, and you can already see Tianma Pass after turning a mountain pass.

In fact, there is no need to turn around, Wu Bogang also knows that there is Tianma Pass in front of him, because he was still in his hands three days ago.

One report and one report, this is also a matter of no choice, Wu Bogang's heart is quite balanced.

I think that when I decided to rebel, I took advantage of the situation to take Tianma Pass and beheaded more than a dozen Han people.

This time, the Han people came to kill, and they also went down with one drum, and one of their own garrison battalions was wiped out.

In the first round of the competition between the two sides, they both used surprise attacks, and everyone was one-to-one, and now it was finally time for a head-to-head battle.

Tianma Pass is built on the mountain, and the post road between the two mountains passes through the pass.

Because of this, when you look at Tianma Pass from the west, it is really a majestic pass, giving people a feeling of towering into the clouds.

When Wu Bogang saw Tianma Pass again, he suddenly had a kind of vertigo.

Not just the feeling of dizziness, but the urge to vomit blood.

I haven't seen Tianma Pass for half a month, but now it's completely different.

Wild Goose Array!

The original lonely Tianma Pass has now appeared along the north and south wings, as if a person is embracing forward with open arms.

Wu Bo just wanted to vomit blood, not only did Tianma Pass suddenly have an additional city wall, but the most important thing was that the city wall was all full of crossbow carts waiting for battle.

Although he brought a large crossbow bolt with him, he is now attacking from the back.

If you want to attack Tianma Pass, you have to approach within 600 steps.

However, if he approached within six hundred steps, he would be less than four hundred steps away from the city walls on both sides, and the Kong Ming ballista cart on top would just play a role.

The moment Wu Bo saw Tianma Pass again, he knew that the general trend was gone, so he had the urge to vomit blood.

Since he dared to rebel, Wu Bogang would certainly not vomit blood lightly.

The problem that really made him want to vomit blood was that next to Kong Ming's ballista car, more than a hundred artillery pieces were suddenly found!

Wu Bogang is also a generation of heroes, and of course he was prepared to bring his troops over.

This is his own territory, even a bird flying in the sky is his, so there are many people who secretly deliver the news.

According to the news sent back by the spies, the enemy at Tianma Pass originally had no artillery.

What the hell is going on with the sudden appearance of so many artillery pieces today?
