A veteran of many battles must not only be as fierce as a tiger, but also as nimble as a rabbit, and more importantly, as cunning as a fox.
When the vanguard of the Ming army met the patrolling Beiyuan cavalry, they were as cunning as foxes. They could have gone up directly and killed the enemy, but instead of doing that, they began to confuse the enemy.
"Master, the thirty or so people from the Tatar side, are you going to kill them or do something like that?"
In the wind and snow, the cavalryman's face was completely covered by ice and frost, and he could not tell the difference at all. He could only judge by listening to the sound.
The person who spoke was the medicine introduction among a group of scouts that Mingjun spread.
The so-called medicine guide is to lure people out. He is the most alert and flexible member of the entire team.
The cavalrymen who are called the masters are from hundreds of households in this cavalry team, and they are also tall men. These people are different from the traditional Ming army cavalry. They are not military households, and they are not the sons of nobles. They used to be from Shandong.
The thieves later returned to the imperial court.
Those who become bandits must be better than those who serve as soldiers, otherwise they will not live long.
Hearing this, the leader's Adam's apple twitched and he spat out a mouthful of yellow phlegm, "Grandma, what can we do with only thirty people? I said, brother, bring a few people up and seduce them!"
"Hit!" Yao Yinzi agreed and waved to the people around him, "Follow me and walk the dog!"
A group of cavalry roared away. Yao Yinzi, who was in the lead, hung a bell on the horse's neck.
Jingle bells, jingle bells! In the howling wind and snow, the crisp ringing is particularly eye-catching.
The heavy snow is like fog, making it difficult to see the distance, but you can hear it.
The knight of Beiyuan, wearing a thick leather robe, heard the bell and rode towards him.
The two sides were approaching, and a fight was about to break out, but the thieves of the Ming army seemed to be panicked, turning around and running away. The Beiyuan cavalry was overjoyed and pursued them. But just when they were chasing happily and the team was somewhat scattered, those
The thieves killed another one with a carbine.
Caught off guard, the Beiyuan cavalry dropped two or three corpses.
In the wind and snow, the bows could not be fired, and the Beiyuan cavalry could only wield scimitars. However, the thieves were full of unique skills, especially flying rocks with almost 100% accuracy. Pebble-sized stones may not look impressive at first sight, but they can be smashed.
On the head, the horse can fall directly.
Whoosh, a sharp chirping sound began to appear.
Feeling that the enemy was in trouble, the Beiyuan cavalry sent signals to their companions in the distance. The Beiyuan cavalry cruising near Maoershan were all attracted by the thieves using this method.
Moreover, they were led into the ambush of the Ming army by the medicine.
~~
Jingle bells, many bells, suddenly appeared in the wind and snow.
Lan Yu, who was sitting on the horseback, suddenly grinned uglyly.
"The Tatars are coming, three hundred steps to the left, about three hundred people!" Lan Yu turned her head slightly and said to Fu Rang and Wang De beside her, "I guess all the rangers who came out of Mao'er Mountain were attracted.
!”
Fu Rangdaqi asked, "How do you know?"
"Hehe!" Lan Yu smiled, "You will understand after you have fought and led soldiers all your life!" As he said that, he suddenly raised his hand and put his finger in his mouth, "Beep~~~"
Immediately after this, whistles like this came one after another in the vanguard of the Ming army, and they continued to sound.
There were no war drums or shouts to kill. The Ming army used whistles as signals to pass to each other in the wind and snow.
"Follow me closely!" Lan Yu growled, drew out her slender saber, and slowly mounted her horse.
Fu Rang and Wang De also drew their swords and followed cautiously.
Not long after walking, suddenly two whistles came from the front, and Lan Yu shouted, "Crossbow!"
Several people behind him raised their crossbows in unison, facing the heavy snow in their sight.
With creaking sounds and horse hooves trampling on the snow, a dozen Northern Yuan cavalrymen fled in confusion from the encirclement of the Ming army.
Without Lan Yu's order, almost at the same time, dozens of military crossbows were launched in unison, and the people on the horse fell down in an instant. And just when the military crossbows were launched, Lan Yu, holding a scimitar, was already galloping on the horse.
passed.
It seemed that he didn't even use much force, and his body on the horse didn't shake much. With just a few chops, bright red blood stained the white armor.
At this moment, Fu Rang and the others suddenly realized and quickly drew their weapons to kill.
In the snowy field, the Beiyuan Rangers who were attracted were divided and eliminated by the Ming army.
If they were wolves, then the Ming army of this era would be the best hunters in the world.
After killing the person, Lan Yu slowly wiped the blood off the saber with a fine cloth and put it back into the scabbard.
"Is this the end?" Anlehou Wangde was a little unbelievable. In the wind and snow, he could annihilate hundreds of Tatar cavalry so easily.
Fu Rang nodded and looked at Lan Yu with burning eyes.
This set may seem tepid and unruffled, but it is the essence of Lan Yu's lifelong battle.
"What are you two brats doing?" Lan Yu shouted, "Go and cut off the ears of some Tartars!" He said with a smile, "It's all military merit!"
"Shuai Lan!" Wang De rode over and said with a smile, "Your hands are so powerful. You can play with the enemy in the palm of your hand. It's a good idea to teach junior generals!"
"You can't teach this thing!" Lan Yu said with a smile, "Then again, if you think about fighting for a long time, you can practice it!"
Fu Rang also rode over and said sincerely, "Shuai Lan, I'm convinced. I've never been by your side before, so I don't know what's going on. I've benefited a lot from marching with you these days!"
Lan Yu smiled, "I need you to obey me?"
Fu Rang smiled again, "General, General, it seems that the spies you let out are all from thieves?" Then he said, "Originally, General looked down on these people because they have bad military discipline.
The army is not in good shape, and it often acts in disobedience and disobeys orders."
"Give it to you!" Lan Yu suddenly became unhappy, "What happened to the thieves? I used to be a bandit who robbed the road. Before General Chang joined the emperor, I was the leader of these bandits!"
At this time, a rider came by, and it was the bull that Lan Yu said was gored to death.
"Commander, I checked three times and there is no living Tatar ranger within thirty miles!"
Then he added, "I haven't seen such a weird day today in many years. You see, the wind and snow are not strong now, but the damn fog is so clear!"
At this point, he yelled again, "What the hell is the fog about? The Queen Mother is holding a peach party?"
It is the Queen Mother who chooses her son-in-law!" Lan Yu scolded with a smile.
"Don't choose me, I'm so tall that the little fairies can't stand it!" the bull said with a chuckle.
"After the battle, I'll reward you with some thick-skinned old ladies!" Lan Yu said with a smile.
"Hey Hey!"
At this time, another powerful general, Xu Benlu, came over and said, "Commander, what are we going to do? I asked the brothers to go forward to explore the way. I guess the Tatars are gathering on Maoer Mountain to keep warm at this time!"
"Then kill them!" Lan Yu's eyes moved, "On this day, we can't see them clearly, and they can't see us clearly either. Just in time, we can be caught off guard!"
Fu Rang and Wang De spoke at the same time, "The last general will be the vanguard!"
~~~
There is nothing unusual about Maoer Mountain above the snowfield, just like a big dirt bag.
The Ming army dismounted in the distance, formed their troops at the officer's orders, and inspected their weapons.
In the front row, each person holds a crossbow in his hand, and beside them are elites armed with knives and wearing double-layered iron armor.
These people looked silent, and no emotion could be seen on their faces.
The wind and snow seemed to be getting lighter. Lan Yu walked to the front of the team, looked back at the soldiers who were ready to go, and smiled silently.
Immediately, he took steps and moved forward slowly.
The squeaking sound was the sound of his boots stepping on the snow.
Boom, boom, was the sound made by the Ming army behind him stepping on the snow.
~~
Mao'er Mountain is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a highland. Because it is stuck beside Zhu Di, it is particularly important.
There were 7,000 Northern Yuan cavalry stationed on the mountain, and simple wooden fences were built on the slightly flatter areas.
People are afraid of the cold. On this day, the Beiyuan cavalry were also nesting in their tents. Instead, they were holding their horses together.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, heat filled the air.
The leader Boyan Timur cut off a piece of freshly cooked dried mutton with a silver knife, pinched some milk tofu and put it into his mouth, and then took a sip of hot milk tea.
Then, he let out a sigh of relief.
"Ah, it feels so comfortable!"
Next to him, a man with a thin face and slender eyes sat cross-legged, silent and solemn.
"Enke, why don't you eat?" Boyan Timur asked.
Enke frowned, "The men who went out for a cruise should have come back to change their defenses, but there is still no movement." He said, paused, "It's been half a quarter of an hour!"
Boyan Timur smiled and said, "With such a heavy snowstorm, it is normal to be delayed for a while!" After saying that, he served the other party milk tea with his own hands and said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous!"
"The Ming army should not be underestimated!" Enke said seriously, "Zhu Di is still resisting and has not seen reinforcements from the Ming army, so he has to guard against it!"
"Haha, you are just too careful!" Boyan Timur laughed, "On this day, those southern barbarians from the Ming Dynasty would have frozen to death on the road, let alone coming to support them!" He said, patting the other party on the shoulder, "
Drink it and warm yourself up!"
Enke shook his head and stood up, "I'm still worried. King Khan allowed us to occupy this place just to cut off the connection between the Ming reinforcements and Zhu Di. We can't be careless!" After saying that, he opened the curtain and braved the wind.
Snow walked out.
~~~~
Squeaks, although walking slowly, you can still make such a creak.
The soles of the Ming army's combat boots were all nailed with non-slip iron nails. They would not fall whether it was snow or ice. But at this time, the sound of the nail shoes was so harsh. If it were not for such bad weather,
, the Beiyuan cavalry are all sleeping, I am afraid they have been discovered long ago.
On the mountainside, Lan Yu stopped, drew a line on the ground with a long knife, and then waved silently.
Creaking, the sound was louder, faintly like a roar.
Countless black shadows crawled towards Bei Yuan's camp on the hillside.
Fu Rang and Wang De were rushing side by side in the front row, and gradually they could clearly see the chest-high low wall in the Beiyuan position.
Creaking, the footsteps suddenly stopped.
Several Ming soldiers crept forward quietly, looked around, slowly stood up, and then untied the ropes tied around their waists. At the top of the ropes, there were black iron hooks.
Whoosh!
The rope shook and flew out with a roar, just in time to get stuck in the enemy's wooden wall.
A few people gave me a gentle tug, then turned around and waved.
In an instant, the stopped Ming army moved again, much faster than before.
~~~
Enke patrolled the camp with a straight face, his eyes becoming more and more angry.
Everyone was resting, and no one stood on the parapet to patrol.
Although the warriors on the grassland are brave, they are still too undisciplined compared to the Han people.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a snapping sound in his ears, followed by the sound of silent footsteps on the snow, swarming towards him.
Terrified, he lay on the parapet and looked out, his face suddenly filled with horror.
In his sight, everything was dark and filled with Ming troops climbing up.
"Enemy, enemy attack"
Before his shouting ended, there were two clicks.
The parapet in front of them was pulled down directly, and countless Ming troops roared and rushed forward.
"Kill the Tartars!"
