Chapter 335 Who said that ambush means you have to fight in person?
To the east of Hong Boyan Timur's order, the Yuan army immediately bypassed the thousands of Dingliao guards who had formed a formation and chose to march towards the official road from where they came.
That operation left Ye Wang, Wu Zhou and several Dingliao Guard generals confused.
Those Yuan troops came with great force, and even went to great lengths to reach the front and set up an ambush. Why did they lead their troops to leave before they could wipe out all of them?
Wu Zhou: "Master Commander, what should we do if they come from the east?"
Ye Wang gritted his teeth, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "His grandma, those Yuan dogs killed their brothers, and now they turn around and beg to leave, doesn't that mean they are not taken seriously?"
"Brothers, follow him and chase him, and you will die if you bite a piece of meat from those primitive dogs!"
It has to be said that Ye Wang, as a strong general of Dingliao Guard, is very bloody. After Shanhaiguan was captured, he held the belief of "Kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn one."
With such a mentality, now that he has seen that his brothers to the east have been ambushed and sacrificed so much by the Yuan army, but the Yuan army himself has suffered very little damage, how can he be willing to let the Yuan army just leave like that?
Seeing that the Ming army behind him started to pursue, Hong Boyan Timur was even more sure of his guess: How could a few thousand people dare to chase 20,000 people in the east of the world? It must be because of the mission that the Ming army received
, why don't you try every means to delay the return of your own army?
Therefore, Hong Boyan Timur withdrew even more decisively.
Looking at the entire history of Chinese wars, a very outrageous scene appeared: nearly 20,000 Yuan troops who had just won the battle fled madly in front, while there were only more than 3,000 people left, and the Ming army was panting because of the rapid march they had just experienced.
They gritted their teeth and pursued madly. The closer the Ming army pursued, the more certain the Yuan army was that there must be a fraud, so they retreated more decisively. They never thought of turning around and destroying that part of the Ming army first.
In the end, he was really annoyed by the Ming army. Hong Boyan Timur had to keep a small part of the Yuan army in the east, and then he completely got rid of Ye Wang's Ming army.
Hong Boyan Timur headed east along the official road. Soon, he came to another dangerous place, "Hulukou". Looking at the dark and deep valley mouth in the night, a suspicious deputy general pulled Hong Boyan Timur.
Son's horse reins.
"Sir, the terrain here is steep, so be careful of the Ming army setting up an ambush!"
Hong Boyan Timur was also a little hesitant, but after thinking for a while, he said with certainty: "The Ming army will not set up an ambush here."
"If we don't set up an ambush here, the Ming army will definitely get into a melee with them. The momentum caused by the melee will definitely be noticed by Gao Basi outside."
"Moreover, if they want to prey on them, the Ming army will definitely waste a lot of time. If they don't wait until dawn, they will lose the advantage of a surprise attack."
I have to say that Hong Boyan Timur's judgment was very correct. In that era, the so-called night fighting often meant "chaos." In the case of limited field of vision, soldiers often fought in small groups. Even if not
Even the most brilliant general can hardly mobilize and coordinate the overall situation.
And such a battle situation is destined to lead to a long-lasting stalemate in night battles. Many times, it is not until dawn that the soldiers can accurately judge the situation between the enemy and friendly forces. At dawn,
In the past, soldiers often just continued to kill according to their abilities.
Even if the Ming army set up an ambush there, they would definitely not be able to annihilate their own army of more than 10,000 people in a short time in a night battle. Rather than losing the perfect opportunity to attack Shanhaiguan, it is better to completely ignore the Yuan army that was transferred away from the mountain.
Army. If you want to know, you have to take Shanhaiguan to the east. Only for the Ming Army can you maximize your benefits.
What's more, Ye Wang's group of Ming troops are chasing after him!
If there wasn't an ambush set up there, then why would Ye Wang and his group risk their lives to hold them back?
Thinking about it, the deputy general who held the reins of Hong Boyan Timur's horse felt a little relieved. When a sentry came to report that no trace of the Ming army was found inside, was it even more clear whether Hong Boyan Timur and the Yuan army generals were complete?
Feeling relieved, Hong Boyan Timur pointed his horsewhip at the mouth of the valley and said proudly: "The Ming army thought they had a plan, so they left a message to humiliate the general. But they didn't know what their plan was, and the general already knew it.
.”
"Speed up the march! When he waits for the magic soldiers to descend from the sky behind the Ming army, he can let those children of the Zhu family know that their little strategy is nothing more than a trick!"
The arrogant Hong Boyan Timur did not notice the extremely strange look flashing in the eyes of the sentry who was retreating to the east...
Putting aside the worries in their hearts, the Yuan army, who was anxious because they were worried about being forced to take Shanhaiguan by the Ming army, started marching again. Hong Boyan Timur was riding on a tall horse, urging the infantry to move forward with a whip. Suddenly, Ye Chang choked his nose.
The smell made him sniffle: "Let's smell it, what does it smell like?"
"Well, it's very familiar..."
"Huh? That smell seems..." A general sniffed hard.
"Is it commonly used when defending the city... kerosene?"
How could there be kerosene in a remote place like Hulukou? Hong Boyan Timur frowned, always feeling that things were not that simple.
Suddenly, there was a sound of banging, and the mountains outside Hulukou suddenly lit up countless torches at the same time, illuminating the entire Hulukou as bright as red day. The sudden appearance of the strong light almost shook the Yuan army in the east.
Unable to open his eyes, Hong Boyan Timur also lost the ability to think for a moment. He could have controlled Kuodong's anxious horse and at the same time blocked the light of the torch with his legs: "What? What's going on?"
"All troops, shoot arrows!"
Vaguely, Hong Boyan Timur saw a young man holding a folding fan on his legs, shouting loudly on the hillside. As a veteran, he reflexively asked the Yuan soldiers to put up their shields. Can he treat it as a sight?
The countless Ming troops on the mountain did not shoot arrows directly, but instead lit the arrows with torches. His heart suddenly felt cold.
"Rockets! No rockets! The Ming army asked for release, no rockets!" Hong Boyan Timur's eyes widened.
By the light of the torch, he could clearly see countless liquids like kerosene flowing on the ground, and dry and flammable vegetation could be seen everywhere. At that time, he remembered a key element that he had miscalculated.
: Is it really easy to fall into the chaos of a night battle if you set up a normal ambush?
But there is a way to set up an ambush, which not only eliminates the need to get into a melee, but can even kill the Yuan army to your east on a larger scale.
Then no: fire attack!
boom!
As the arrow rain from the rocket fell in the night, the entire gourd mouth suddenly ignited with raging flames. Although the rocket could not cause much damage to the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty who raised their shields, the flames fell on the fire.
The oil is there, the bushes are there, the soldiers' felt hats are there...
The entire gourd mouth was filled with screams that shook the sky!
At the entrance of the valley, Zhu Su gently shook the folding fan with "no martial ethics" in his leg, and looked at the Yuan army running around screaming because of the fire, with a cold smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Who said that ambush troops must fight in person?
Damn it, I'm having 2 Yang. It's really uncomfortable. I'll update a chapter tomorrow. I'll make up for it when I feel better.
Please be careful, everyone! It feels like that wave is more severe than the previous ones...
