0287, offensive prologue

The big ancient city, only twelve miles from Huluhai Beach in the west.

Although it is called a city, there is no city at all, but it is a gathering place for some herdsmen and some fishermen.

Without a city, there would be no name for a big ancient city in this place, so there used to be a first city outside the Saiwai here.

In 326 BC, the Marquis of Zhao Guosu died, and Zhao Yong ascended the throne at the age of fifteen.

Zhao Yong's original surname wins, and in the pre-Qin period, men called their names but not their surnames, since they were the marquis of Zhao State, they were called Zhao Yong.

Speaking of Zhao Yong, in fact, few people know, but when it comes to King Zhao Wuling, there are many people who know.

The Chinese nation had cavalry a long time ago, but completely abandoned the chariot and made the cavalry the most important independent branch of the country, that is, Zhao Yong, that is, the later Warring States Xiaooverwang Zhao Wuling.

The famous allusion in Chinese history, "Hufu Cavalry and Archery", is Zhao Yong's great contribution to the military reform in China.

To train cavalry, you need a large field, and you also need a large grassland with abundant water and grass.

For this reason, Zhao Yong took out the money to build a huge castle on the east bank of the Hulu Sea, which is now the ruins that Qiao Rushan brought people over and saw.

Qiao Rushan was just a little bastard who was king of the mountain before, and he was only twenty years old.

A guy who doesn't know how to learn and don't know that the ruins and ruins he sees now are the birthplace of the first regular cavalry in China.

After Qiao Rushan led the young general Fan Tao's abductors and 120 people over, the first thing he wanted to do was to carry out the orders of the military division, gather all the herdsmen and fishermen here and take them away, and take them to Dongwan, 20 miles to the northwest, to be taken into custody.

At this time, it was only the second watch, and the vast fields were pitch black, and an army suddenly appeared, which was a catastrophe for any common people.

More than 200 villagers didn't know how many troops were coming, so they were stunned when they landed, and naturally they cried again. He thought that all his family fortune was gone, and he had become a slave.

After the three ladies of Guihua City signed a peace agreement with the Ming Dynasty, they issued a special decree to encourage the people of the Ming Dynasty to come over to open up wasteland and cultivate land and prosper the bilateral market.

Therefore, although these villagers have been breeding here for three generations, they are all people of the Ming Dynasty, that is, their own people.

But now is not the time to explain, and it can't be explained, once the news leaks out, it's all over.

Qiao Rushan and his brothers had military orders, so they could only strictly implement the orders of the military advisor and take people away with evil appearances.

After a busy time, the sky has begun to brighten, Qiao Rushan and his brothers have not rested all night, and now they can't rest either, they have to go to the gourd beach to get a lot of dry thatch, stack it on the ruins of the ancient city, and then cover the grass of the local villagers on it.

The common people were taken away, but their flocks remained.

Since there is a flock of sheep, of course, a sheep herder is needed, so Qiao Rushan personally served as a sheep herd, grazing sheep in the east of the big ancient city, and the other brothers had already dispersed to ambush each according to the order.

What Qiao Rushan didn't expect was that he had been herding sheep for a whole day, seeing that the sun was about to go down, and he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy.

Qiao Rushan thought that the military division had miscalculated and the enemy would not come, so he prepared to gather his brothers and return to the military camp south of the Hulu Sea.

At this moment, smoke and dust rose from the east, and a cavalry seemed to rush over.

Qiao Rushan was the owner of the cottage, and there were more than 300 people under his command before. So he soon found that the cavalry that rushed over was less than a hundred, only more than seventy, not the seven hundred as the military advisor said.

If you want to say bold, Qiao Rushan is really bold.

Seeing that there was a problem with the number of enemies, he did not panic, but pretended to drive the sheep back to the great ancient city, but was soon overtaken by those cavalry, who were captured on their own initiative, and then taken to the horse of a small leader.

"Isn't this a big ancient city, why do you see you alone, and the others?"

Regarding the little leader's inquiry, Qiao Rushan seemed to be a little trembling with fright, and his speech was a little trembling: "General, there is a large army in the south that is fighting, and it is attacking and killing the tiger's mouth." The people in the village were afraid that something would happen and ran away half a year ago. I really didn't have anywhere to go, so I was alone with a flock of sheep anyway, so I stayed. ”

"Is there anyone else around here who doesn't?" asked the little leader.

Qiao Rushan shook his head: "Because those merchants all passed by from the west of Haizi, no one has come here." ”

After such a delay, Qiao Shan finally found that another puff of smoke and dust appeared in the east, and he was slowly moving this way, only to know that the more than seventy people in front of him were here to inquire about the situation.

The little leader found no flaw, so he ordered his two men to return quickly, apparently to meet the large army.

But Qiao Rushan was not let go, but was coerced by those soldiers to return to the ancient city.

In the blink of an eye, it was half an hour, and I finally returned to the ruins of the ancient city.

Things did not exceed Qiao Rushan's expectations, and those soldiers did not ask for advice at all, so they directly tied Qiao Rushan's hands and threw them on a haystack. A flock of more than thirty sheep was quickly slaughtered, and then a fire was made to roast the whole sheep.

Now it was pitch black except for the light of the barbecue fire in the middle of the venue.

Qiao Rushan was a little anxious because he hadn't gotten out yet, because the enemy's follow-up troops were coming one after another, and the number had already exceeded fifteen hundred, but they were still coming over.

The cavalry I saw was already close to 1,000, far exceeding the original 700 men.

Fortunately, it was not the regular cavalry that came behind, but a group of herdsmen, men, women, and children.

They are said to be herdsmen, but there are no sheep, cattle, or horses to follow, and they are all empty-handed.

Seeing a group of empty-handed herdsmen, Qiao Rushan was already a little puzzled.

Because when he was in Fengzhen, he was ordered to lay in ambush on the west bank of the Yuma River for two days, preparing to prevent the enemy from crossing the river, and he had seen these people.

At that time, there were six herds of hundreds of sheep and a herd of more than ten cows. Now people are coming, but what about the sheep and the herd?

Although Qiao Rushan's martial arts are not very high, his mind is not slow.

He knew that a great opportunity was in front of him, and if he didn't attack quickly, once the men had eaten and drunk, they would disperse and get ready to sleep.

If the enemy is all scattered, the effect of a surprise attack will be greatly weakened, and I am afraid that it will not create enough chaos for the enemy.

If the enemy does not mess around, the more than 100 people under his command will certainly not be able to deal with a large force of nearly 1,000 men, and he will not be able to complete the combat order to drive the enemy out of here.

If you lose your fighter planes and are unable to accomplish your own combat objectives, thus causing severe consequences, military law must be enforced.

The enforcement of military law is as simple as it is to say, but in reality it is to cut off the head.

Thinking of this, Qiao Rushan could only grit his teeth and roll down from the haystack into the darkness.

His hands were tied behind his back and he couldn't untie them, and now he didn't have time to find a way to untie them, so he could only desperately run to the hiding place of the young general Fan Tao.

Qiao Rushan was in a hurry, and the young general Fan Tao was actually even more anxious, so he led the brothers to slowly touch up to find out the specific situation.

Because of the firelight behind him as the background, Qiao Rushan's figure had already been discovered as soon as he appeared.

Fan Tao didn't listen to what Qiao Rushan said at all, so he directly gave an order, and one hundred and twenty people had already pounced on them with crutches.

To say that there are more war horses than human elves, Fan Tao and they just approached within a hundred paces, and the enemy's horses were in a commotion, and then they alarmed the enemy's sentinels.

The so-called abductor gun is actually a bird gun, which is what later generations called a shotgun, which can fire three times at a time.

You can only fire three times, because there is no chance to recharge you on the battlefield.

Although the area covered by the bird is large enough, the effective range is only fifty paces.

The enemy has been alarmed, then there is nothing to say, and the brave who meets on a narrow road wins.

"Fire!"

Eighty paces away from the enemy, Fan Tao gave the order to open fire for the first round.

With an earth-shattering roar, the enemy was finally completely alarmed.

The enemy is really an elite soldier in a hundred battles, so he is shocked but not confused. In the roar of the leader, they had already drawn their waist knives and began to fight back.

People can not be messy, but the war horses gathered together have been thrown into chaos by firearms, and they have begun to rush out desperately.

The Mongol soldiers were all soldiers on horseback, and without war horses, there would be no combat effectiveness.

Therefore, the war horses were in chaos, and those Mongolian soldiers could only rescue their war horses, and the entire ancient city was finally in chaos.

The enemy was in the light of the fire, and it was dark outside, and I didn't know how many people came.

Coupled with such a mess, Fan Tao and the others had already rushed to within fifty paces, and the second round of firing was effective.

Not only did he kill and wound many people and horses, but he also ignited the haystacks that had been prepared for a long time, and the first step of the battle plan was finally realized.

Although Fan Tao is the centurion of the crutch gun, he does not have a bird gun more than three feet long, but a short gun more than a foot long, and he has been inserted into his belt and has not fired at all.

There was naturally a reason why Fan Tao didn't fire, because he was twisting his weapon in his hand, that is, a ninety-six pound iron rod.

The brothers rushed forward step by step, the main purpose was to make the enemy as chaotic as possible.

Fan Tao's purpose is different from that of his brothers, he is the first to rush to the front, but the purpose is different.

Because they had to lie in ambush near the enemy, the horses were all in the dense forest five miles away.

Without a war horse, you can't give full play to the power of the iron rod, so Fan Tao has the enemy's war horse left in his eyes, and he has to try his best to grab a temporary mount that becomes his own before he can attack the enemy's core.

At this time, the center of the ancient city was already in flames, and people were shouting and neighing.

Fan Tao suddenly saw a war horse one size bigger than all the horses, rampaging through the herd, looking extremely violent.

On the battlefield, the impact of the fierce horse was stronger and the speed was faster, so Fan Tao rushed straight to this fierce horse.

Since it is an outstanding BMW, its owner will naturally not be much worse.

Fan Tao only had a BMW in his eyes, so he didn't notice that there was also a person rushing over from the northwest, and he kept whistling in his mouth.

The moment the whistle sounded, the fiery horse turned around and rushed to the northwest.

Fan Tao was so angry that he could only turn around and chase back.

The two legs are not as fast as the four legs, and when Fan Tao rushed to the vicinity of the fierce horse, he found that a general was already sitting on the horse's back, and a mace in his hand was more than one zhang eight long.

Seeing that the BMW he had been chasing for a long time was taken away by someone else half a step ahead, Fan Tao screamed angrily.

The iron rod in his hand made a semicircle, and it had already slashed out with the sound of the wind, and the target was the right crotch of the guy on horseback. I734
