Chapter 98 Night Attack
The sky gradually became ink-colored, and it was now November of the second year of Chongzhen. Qin Liangyu's eyes were as deep as the sea, watching the troops quietly leave, and the snowflakes fell gently, each one carrying determination and determination.
Mangui's steady eyes fell on the Jin Bing's camp not far away. The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue. The Jin soldiers in the camp were salivating. The aroma of firewood and barbecue intertwined in the air, stimulating their taste buds.
In the Chinese army's tent, Erbeile's eyes were slightly cold, and he summoned his guards to him: "Don't be careless, in case the Ming army comes to rob the camp!" His voice was decisive, like a sharp arrow.
Later, Erbeile stepped out of the camp and summoned a loyal general in front of him: "Azig, you lead three battalions to hide in the valley outside the camp!" His tone was firm and full of trust.
When Azig heard the order, he immediately responded: "Hey!" His voice was full of determination.
Watching the men and horses led by Azig leave the camp, Erbeile breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the camp. He looked at the laughing soldiers in the camp. Although he felt a little unhappy in his heart, he thought on second thought that there were still some people in the army.
They are Huang Taiji's men. If they are too harsh, they may lose their military morale.
The night was like ink, and figures emerged from the darkness, coming quietly like ghosts, only a few feet away from Jin Bing's camp. Man Gui drew out his sword, and his sharp eyes reflected the courage and determination of everyone: "Kill!"
His voice surged in the air like thunder, instantly triggering a frenzy. The war horses neighed and the iron hooves galloped, but in an instant, they had rushed into the camp. Amidst the lights and shadows of swords, a picture of a magnificent fierce battle was reflected.
At this time, the Jin soldiers in the camp heard the cry: "The enemy is attacking!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
In the hazy night, suddenly, a fierce neighing of war horses broke through the silence, like a quick warning before a violent storm. Then, the sharp sound of swords breaking through tents came one after another, accompanied by the wailing of soldiers and the neighing of war horses.
The sound awakened Erbeile from his trance.
His eyes changed slightly. Looking at the Ming army in front of him who was killing wantonly, Erbeile felt murderous intent in his heart. However, he quickly calmed down and realized that the battle situation was in chaos and he had to stay awake.
Among the defeated Jin soldiers, Man Gui's eyes flashed with cold light. He commanded Ruoding. When he heard the shouts of killing coming from behind, he immediately retreated while fighting, leading everyone to evacuate towards the town.
Under the town, Qin Liangyu quietly looked at the fire in the distance, her eyes firm and decisive. When she saw Man Gui and the others retreating to the city, she immediately got on her horse, waved the weapons in her hands, and ordered loudly: "Get ready to attack.
!”
After waiting for a moment, more and more people were waiting. Qin Liangyu waved his hand and decisively gave the order: "Attack!"
At this moment, the people of the Baigan Army descended from the mountain like tigers and rushed towards the crowd. When Mangui saw Qin Liangyu's response, he was overjoyed. He turned his horse's head, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill!"
The two sides fought fiercely in the dark night, with swords and swords flashing, and wars raging in the sky. It was not until daybreak that both sides retreated to their own territory exhausted, staring at each other warily.
Man Gui and Qin Liangyu looked at each other. Both of them were covered in the blood of their enemies. They looked at each other and smiled, showing their heroic spirit.
Back in the city, Lord Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice: "It seems that the strength of Jiannu has indeed weakened a bit, but now the weather is starting to turn cold, and the troops led by General Qin are all in the Sichuan Chief Envoys' position, and they cannot withstand the severe cold.
This will undoubtedly weaken the strength of our army."
Qin Liangyu and Man Gui were convinced. They nodded, and Man Gui asked respectfully: "I wonder what Mr. Sun has to say?"
Sun Chengzong smiled, a glimmer of wisdom flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Wait!"
On the other side, Huang Taiji was leading the crowd towards Yongping. At this time, Huang Taiji heard the news from the scouts, his face changed slightly, and his eyes showed a deep light.
"Great Khan, a Ming army scout has indeed appeared." The scout reported stammeringly.
Huang Taiji was silent for a while, scanning the surrounding terrain with lightning eyes. He quickly ordered the rear army to stop marching and hide on the spot, while the middle army led by him began to lay traps, and the front army hid on both sides of the road.
"Be sure to keep a close eye on the Ming army scouts and never alert the enemy!" Huang Taiji ordered in a deep voice.
The scout took the order and retreated.
He Kegang led his men and horses galloping on the official road, and the iron hoofs of the war horses hit the road, making a crisp sound. Seeing this, the bandits along the way did not dare to act rashly, but kept a close watch, and the Ming army's scouts also knew that these bandits were not
own goals, so turn a blind eye.
When He Kegang heard the scout's report that everything was normal, he frowned slightly, but did not worry too much. He ordered everyone: "Speed up the march and be sure to arrive at Zunhua within two days!"
"Yes!" Everyone's faces were full of exhaustion, but they still urged the horses under them without stopping for a moment.
When the Jin soldiers on both sides of the avenue saw the Ming army, they held their breath for fear of alarming them. Their eyes were full of tension and fear, as if if they were discovered, a bloody battle would ensue.
When the Ming army completely passed the road, Jin Bing's scouts immediately spread the news to Huang Taiji's ears. When Huang Taiji heard the news, a smile appeared on his face, looking at the vanguard that had appeared in front of him, he
He told the people next to him: "Go down and get ready!"
He Kegang suddenly asked everyone to stop, and he felt something was wrong.
"Rest where you are!" he ordered.
Everyone dismounted one after another, some lay directly on the ground, and some took out dry food and water and ate quietly. He Kegang turned around and looked into the distance, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes.
At this time, a mysterious force was quietly surging in the distant grass. He Kegang's brows furrowed slightly, and he felt an oppressive aura.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound from the front, like the sound of wind blowing through the grass. He Kegang's eyes immediately became sharp. He clenched the weapon in his hand and stared ahead.
The trap of the Jin soldiers has been laid, and they are hiding in the dark, waiting for the Ming army to enter.
He Kegang's breath was getting closer and closer, and the heartbeats of the golden soldiers also accelerated. Suddenly, a cold light flew out from the grass, and a rain of arrows poured down, covering He Kegang's troops.
A fierce battle between the Jin army and the Ming army is about to break out.
Everyone panicked and hurriedly looked for shelter. However, the rocks and woods on the road had been ruthlessly cleared by Huang Taiji, leaving everyone with nowhere to hide. Seeing the soldiers who kept falling, He Kegang felt a surge in his heart.
Feeling sad and angry, he got on his horse and shouted loudly: "Rush over!"
However, the rain of arrows was just an appetizer for the enemy. When He Kegang saw that the road ahead was blocked by gravel and tree trunks, his face immediately turned livid. He quickly shouted: "Run in both directions!"
However, the Jin soldiers on both sides rushed at them like a pack of evil wolves, forcing them back to the middle. Huang Taiji looked coldly at the Ming army in trouble and ordered coldly: "Annihilate them quickly!"
"Yes, Khan!" As a whistling sound came from the air, the Jin soldiers began to close their battle lines, pressing against the Ming army like an iron wall.
He Kegang looked at the golden soldiers all over the mountains and plains, and a burst of despair surged in his heart. He looked up to the sky, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks. He was not crying for his own defeat, but for the Ming Dynasty, for the world, and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.
These brothers Pao Ze.
He looked at the more than a hundred personal guards around him, and one of them said in a deep voice: "It is my brother's honor to be able to fight with you, and it will be worth it to die!"
"After going to hell, we brothers are still drinking together!" everyone responded.
He Kegang smiled slightly and said, "I, He Kegang, am so lucky to have brothers like you!" In his eyes, this scene seemed to be frozen in the history scrolls and would never be forgotten.
Looking at the wolf-like golden soldiers, everyone was about to take action, but the golden soldiers just surrounded them and did not take action rashly.
"May I ask who it is, General He?" A loud voice pierced the air.
He Kegang stepped forward and said proudly: "It's me!"
"Our Great Khan has long heard of General He's reputation and is eager to meet General He."
He Kegang was immediately shocked when he heard the Khan: "Huang Taiji came in person?"
At this time, Huang Taiji's figure slowly emerged from behind the scenes and said gently: "General He, we haven't seen you for a long time."
Looking at Huang Taiji's figure, He Kegang said deeply: "It is indeed you."
"General He, you and I have known each other for a long time. Why don't you come into my tent and talk about it?" Huang Taiji invited.
He Kegang pondered for a moment and said decisively: "If you want to talk, we can, let my brothers leave first."
"General!" everyone heard and shouted quickly.
He Kegang raised his hand and stopped everyone from talking.
Huang Taiji pondered for a moment and said resolutely: "Okay, let them go!"
"We won't leave, general!" everyone shouted in unison.
"Go quickly! Find an opportunity to spread the news about this place." He Kegang ordered anxiously.
When everyone heard this, their faces changed slightly, and then they turned around and left with difficulty.
