After saying a few words briefly, Guo Dajing galloped on his horse again and came to the camp where the barber coolies were camping. He raised his token again and loudly pretended to pass on the general's order, "Leave camp immediately and retreat to Baima Mountain City to wait for reinforcements."
Guo Dajing did not know the latest deployment of the Dongjiang Army. He just created confusion and made the order look like that, which sounded more normal.
If he holds up a token and orders others to disembowel their stomachs and wipe their necks, then he is completely stupid and is looking for death if he is exposed!
The coolie militia camp was guarded only by soldiers with shaved heads, and they obeyed the orders of the captives. Guo Dajing could not find fault with his appearance and language, and he was holding a token. How could they know it was a fake?
The false order was carried out quickly and thoroughly, and the civilian coolie camp was noisy and busy for a while before retreating towards Baima Mountain City.
After Guo Dajing faked the order, he drew his horse back, but instead of returning to the Jianlu camp, he was preparing to run away!
Although he fought bravely to kill the enemy, as if he was not afraid of death, Guo Dajing basically thought carefully and was fully prepared before taking actions that others considered risky.
For example, if he wants to enter the Jianlu camp, Guo Dajing has two plans to infiltrate and infiltrate; and if he wants to assassinate Shuo Tuo in the camp, he has three plans, which he can choose according to the situation.
Of course, no matter how well you plan, think through, or prepare, accidents will inevitably happen.
Guo Dajing was idealistic about this, believing that life and death were determined by destiny, but he would not be timid because of this.
Slowing down his horse speed, Guo Dajing jumped off his horse and was about to run into the woods to meet up with Jin Zonglu and others before escaping. The deafening sound of gunfire and fierce shouts of killing stopped him in his tracks.
The feint attack has been coordinated, and he has succeeded and sent out a signal, so why did he attack the Jianlu camp again? Moreover, judging from this posture, it is several times more violent than before!
"Guo Baihu, Guo Baihu." Jin Zonglu emerged from the woods and waved vigorously, greeting.
Guo Dajing hurried into the woods and saw Jin Nianliang, whom he had sent to contact Longgushan City, and several Korean volunteers.
Jin Nianliang took a few steps forward, cupped his hands and said: "Guo Baihu, I came back late. The plan has changed..."
So that's it! Guo Dajing didn't blame Jin Nianliang. It was really hard to run back and forth. If he hadn't also known about his plan to enter the camp and assassinate him, he might still not know where to look for it!
Thinking quickly in his mind, Guo Dajing felt that defeating Jianlu was not impossible.
At the very least, if Jianlu knew that the commander Shuo Tuo was dead, the morale of the army would be in chaos. Coupled with the role of Poison Rat Qiang, Jianlu's combat effectiveness would definitely be affected.
"Wait a minute." Guo Dajing had made up his mind, turned around and walked behind a big tree, took out Shuo Tuo's head, turned around and walked back, handing it to Jin Nianliang.
Jin Nianliang's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Is this..."
Assassinating the commander in the Jianlu camp was shocking enough. To be able to take out the leader's head and escape alive is simply appalling.
"Shuo Tuo's head and helmet." Guo Dajing smiled faintly and said, "You should be able to shake the hearts of the Jianlu army by taking them to the attacking troops and holding them on high poles."
Guo Dajing originally did it casually and fiddled with the false general order to make the coolie camp retreat. But now it seems that it also made Jianlu suspicious and made wrong judgments.
Jin Nianliang took the head, looked at Guo Dajing with great admiration, and asked: "What about you, won't you go back with us?"
Guo Dajing said: "I am here to observe and try to create some trouble for Jianlu, which will help our army win."
Just when Jin Zonglu and others were about to say that they were with Guo Dajing, Guo Dajing had already waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have a small goal alone, I can fight and run, and I am more flexible. It is more suitable for you to go back to the brigade and fight side by side with Mr. Cui."
Although they did not say that they were a burden, they did mean that. Jin Zonglu and others smiled bitterly, knowingly said goodbye, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the mountain forest with Jin Nianliang and others.
Guo Dajing made sure that everyone had gone away, then came to a hidden place and took out Shuo Tuo's headless body.
The purpose of taking away the corpse was to delay time, give Jianlu a wrong judgment, and help him escape from the camp. But now, it has another purpose.
Peeling off the heavy armor, Guo Dajing put it on, put on a golden helmet, raised his feet and kicked the body into a snow pit.
Bringing out the heads is still reasonable, but there is no way to explain the corpse. Are all Jianlu blind?
Therefore, Guo Dajing originally wanted to dispose of Shuo Tuo's body in the wilderness. There was no need to bury it deeply. Who would recognize the headless body?
Moreover, there are many wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and their corpses will soon be eaten by wolves and dogs, turning them into wolf and dog dung.
Guo Dajing wiped some blood on his face, which made him even more unrecognizable. He led the horse out of the woods, calmed down his mind, mounted his horse and ran towards Jianlu's camp.
The Dongjiang Army and the Korean volunteers fought fiercely in three directions, first defeating the barbers in front of them, and launched a three-sided attack on the Jianlu camp.
The troops did not have an absolute advantage, and the battle plan was to repel the Jianlu, and then encircle and annihilate them under the Baima Mountain City. Therefore, the Dongjiang Army and the Korean volunteers did not surround the Jianlu on all sides, forcing the Jianlu to have no way out.
The defeated shaven-headed men bypassed Jianlu's camp and got closer. The Jianlu inside the camp would shoot with bows and arrows to prevent any enemies among them.
Not far from the south gate of the camp, Guo Dajing met several defeated men with shaved heads. He slashed them with his sword without hesitation and shouted loudly.
Jianlu, who was at the south gate, was attracted to his attention, watching the knights in armor and clothes who looked like Shuo Tuo Baylor charging towards him.
"Send my general order to retreat immediately and meet at Baima Mountain City." Guo Dajing rushed forward and threw the token into the camp without calling the door.
Without waiting for the Jianlu in the camp to respond, Guo Dajing had already turned his horse's head, and with the sound of horse hooves, he galloped away again.
"Is it Lord Beile?" a Jianlu asked his companions doubtfully, "I can't see his face clearly."
The companion nodded vigorously and said, "Wearing clothes and armor, who else can be there besides Lord Beile?"
Another Jianlu ran to pick up the token, came back, showed it to his companions, and said, "Report it immediately and ask Lord Nimachan to make a decision."
Although "Lord Belle" has a messy face and his true appearance cannot be seen, from the figure, armor, clothing, and tokens, who else could it be besides Lord Belle?
As for why Lord Baylor suddenly appeared and came to give orders alone, this is not a question that people at their level can know, or should know.
Report the truth to Lord Nimachan and let him decide.
The space for your imagination is left to you, and it is up to you to decide. After Guo Dajing galloped for a while, he got into the forest beside the road again.
The Dongjiang Army and Korean volunteers were still attacking Jianlu's camp, and the battle between the enemy and us was in a stalemate.
Although Jianlu was in a weak state and was affected by poison, which narrowed the gap in combat power between the two sides, it was still very difficult to defeat Jianlu.
However, there was no one alive and no corpse in Shuo Tuo's life, which caused great confusion to the Jianlu. Nimachan organized his troops to defend and searched the camp at the same time. He was so flustered that he could not launch a counterattack.
"Sir." A Jianlu rushed over, showed the token in his hand, and reported hurriedly: "Lord Beile appeared at the south gate, threw away the token, and ordered our troops to withdraw to Baima Mountain City."
Nimachan was overjoyed, grabbed the soldier, and asked urgently: "It's really Lord Baylor, have you seen it clearly?"
Jianlu swallowed and said, "It's Lord Beile's armor. His face is covered in blood and he can't see clearly."
Nima Chan grabbed the token and examined it carefully. If it was fake, it was indeed Shuo Tuo.
Jianlu added: "The shaved men have set up camp and retreated towards Baima Mountain City."
Nima Chan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. When he raised his head, he had already made a decision and loudly ordered: "Send the order. After Turge leads two oxen to break up, the entire army will withdraw to Baima Mountain City."
In Nima's opinion, Shuo Tuo was the most important thing. Even though he couldn't see his face clearly, it was impossible for the armor to fly out of the camp or be taken out.
In other words, in his opinion, he would not believe it unless Shuo Tuo was kidnapped from the camp, and even more so even if he was killed.
Shuo Tuo Beile is still alive. This is Nima Chan's judgment and his best hope. As for what happened, he has no way of knowing. He can only find out after seeing Shuo Tuo.
What happened tonight was too weird, with poisoning, explosions, and the disappearance of the coach. Nima Chan's brain was completely exhausted, and he could never imagine the truth of the matter.
Nima Chan was eager to see Shuo Tuo. After passing down the order, he led a group of men and horses out of the camp first and chased in the direction of Baima Mountain City.
After Turge led his troops to withstand another Ming army attack, he led his men and horses to abandon the camp.
Retreating in battle is a taboo for military strategists. If not, it will turn into a rout and become out of control.
However, Jianlu were all cavalry, which was their greatest advantage. They could fight, chase, and run, so even if the Ming army won, they could not expand their results.
The Jianlu were repulsed. This was the most accurate judgment. Because there were so many war horses, most of the corpses were carried away, which made the Dongjiang Army and the Korean volunteers feel helpless.
However, this was indeed a victory. The menacing Jianlu were defeated once again at the foot of Longgu Mountain City and retreated in embarrassment.
More importantly, all Jianlu's siege equipment was abandoned. Of course they didn't know that the Dongjiang Army led by Mao Wenlong himself was blocking the attack in Baima Mountain City.
The troops of Longgu Mountain City will also follow and pursue, and surround the two thousand captives under Baima Mountain City. Even if they fail to attack, the captives will collapse because they run out of food.
The wounded soldiers were in front, and Turge led the elite behind. They left the camp and were not marching very fast. The advantage of the cavalry was still there, and Turge was not worried that the enemy would catch up soon.
Moreover, it was Turg's self-confidence and pride that he retreated without being defeated. If the enemy dared to pursue him, he was not afraid to let the enemy experience the invincible mounted archery of the Jianzhou warriors in the wild.
Until now, Turg is still in a state of confusion. What happened tonight, and how could it be so chaotic? Not only did he not understand, but all the Jianlu were equally confused.
In fact, Guo Dajing didn't expect this. He just wanted to kill Shuo Tuo, and the subsequent troubles were all improvised and happened to be successful.
But Guo Dajing was not prepared to let Jianlu retreat so easily. He sent away Jin Nianliang and others for convenience and to prevent others from knowing his secret.
The large group of prisoners retreated, but he did not take action, but made preparations. When Turg's men passed by, he took action without hesitation.
Under the cover of night, the cold arrows were shot out of the forest silently and hit a war horse. The war horse suddenly roared and jumped, affecting the Jianlu riding behind.
Another arrow shot out quickly and hit a Jianlu directly in the chest. He screamed and fell off his horse.
Enemy attack! The prisoners howled, but it did not affect Guo Dajing's continued shooting.
Three soldiers were shot dead one after another, making Turg very angry and embarrassed.
Dismounting and entering the forest to search and kill should be the most direct response. But should all the troops stop? How many people should be left behind? Will there be pursuers behind?
Obviously, it was useless to use bows and arrows to fight back into the woods. Arrows were raining down here, and there were still cold arrows over there. Two more soldiers were shot and killed.
The people behind him shouted "horse neigh" to remind Turg that the enemy was catching up.
Guo Dajing seized this opportunity and used the cover of trees to sneak in and continuously shoot precise crossbow arrows at Jianlu.
Boom! In the flash of fire, the two Jianlu who rushed into the woods were blown up and staggered.
It was dark at night, and it was difficult to find the trip wires of the mines. Jianlu, who went into the forest to search for the attackers, hit three mines in succession. Although they were all filled with black powder, they also injured several people.
"Retreat!" Turg had already seen the pursuing enemies, heard their shouts to kill, and knew that he could not delay any longer.
This place is on a road, not a wide field, and the cavalry cannot gallop. If you fight with the pursuers, you will be at a disadvantage in terms of strength, and there may be more casualties.
Judging from the frequency of crossbow shooting, there should be only one enemy in the woods. If you sacrifice more lives for a despicable and shameless guy, you may not be able to find him and kill him.
Turg made the most favorable decision. Although he might still have to shoot several people, being chased by the pursuers would be even more troublesome.
Jianlu was so angry that he screamed, but there was nothing he could do. They all mounted their horses and galloped away.
It was dark and difficult to distinguish in the woods, and until now, they had not found the attacker's shadow. They could only judge the approximate direction through the trajectory of the crossbow arrows.
However, the soldiers who went into the forest to search and kill either stepped on landmines or were shot dead by cold arrows, basically posing no threat to the attackers.
Seeing Jianlu giving up the search and killing and running wildly on horseback, Guo Dajing became even more energetic. He fired arrows at the enemy with a crossbow, shooting horses and people, causing constant trouble for the fleeing Jianlu.
There were constantly injured war horses, neighing and jumping, or falling to the ground, affecting the riding of Jianlu behind them; there were also constantly Jianlu being hit by arrows and falling to the ground, screaming and wailing.
In the chaos, Jianlu finally couldn't care about many things, and was disturbed by one person. He left the corpses and wounded soldiers and left.
When the pursuers of the Ming army arrived, more than a dozen corpses of Jianlu and horses were strewn on the road, and several injured Jianlu who were not dead let out desperate wails.
