Chapter 11 Ambush

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The path from Zhaoqing to Wuzhou was rugged and difficult. Ding Kuichu's seven thousand elite soldiers walked for three days and finally reached the Dragon Mother Temple near the Jingjun camp. Ding Meichu ordered the soldiers to take a rest while he ordered the scouts to inquire about Jingjun.

The situation of the camp.

After a while, the scout reported that there was nothing unusual in the Jingjun camp.

Ding Kuichu was overjoyed and said: "God will help me succeed!"

Then the whole army was ordered to attack.

"Kill!"

The well-trained cavalry of the Ding Army rushed towards the Jingjun camp. At the entrance of the camp, they divided into two groups and attacked along the camp. Some used ropes to pull down the fences, and some used rockets to attack the Jingjun camp, creating chaos in the Jingjun camp and rushing into the camp.

Disperse the assembled Jing army.

The infantry of the Ding army followed the gap created by the cavalry, killing the skirmishers of the Jing army in units of three or more.

After killing for a while, the Ding army generals felt something was wrong. Why were there so few enemies? And they were all in a mess and disorganized?

In the camp, there were only 500 dead soldiers of the Jing Army and more than 3,000 bandits and bandits who came to seek refuge with Zhu Hengjia, such as "flying on the grass", "shaking mountain tiger", "gust of wind" and so on.

What a pity for these criminal thieves and green forest heroes. Since they surrendered, they have not even enjoyed the blessings of King Jingjiang for a day, so they were sent to be fattened pork to lure the enemy.

There is no way, these grass bandits have not been reorganized and have no fighting power. They are like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to discard them.

Once a general succeeds, thousands of bones wither. Since ancient times, which emperor has not stood on a pile of dead people? Just think of it as being loyal to yourself.

After traveling through time, Zhu Hengjia became increasingly thick-skinned.

Yunfeng of Baiyun Mountain is where the Central Army of the Jing Army is located. Looking at the Ding Army that has penetrated deep into the camp, Zhu Hengjia finally relaxed and said, "It's like a fish in the mouth of a river."

The flag of the Chinese Army was waved, and in the camp, the dead soldiers of the Jing Army lit the fuse after hearing the order.

Jing's army had already laid gunpowder in the camp, and spread hay, firewood, sulfur, tung oil and other materials.

For a moment, gunpowder exploded and smoke covered the sky. Ding's army was suddenly ambushed, their formation was in chaos, and there were countless casualties.

"Send the order to fire!"

The command flag is waving, the tiger head on the mountainside of Dongjiu Mountain in Baiyun Mountain, and ten general cannons spit out fiery snakes.

Each of these big guns weighs three thousand kilograms. They were moved down from the city of Wuzhou on the order of Zhu Hengjia. They are said to be able to destroy thousands of miles with one gun. Next to the general's cannon, there are thirty Fran cannons collected from warships and battalions.

The sound of cannons rumbled.

This time, Ding Jun's situation worsened and he was blown away.

"Send the order to encircle!"

The flag is waved, and ambushes appear in all directions.

Dingyuan General Fan Youxian's troops fought out from the eastern foot of the mountain; Pingman General Shi Qiwen's troops fought out from the western foot of the mountain; Yang Fuchen's and Yang Wu's troops fought out from the southeast trail; and to the north was Guijiang.

The sound of drums was thick, and the three military formations, like three pointed cones, quickly closed into a large circle with one corner missing, forcing the Ding army to flee to the Yuncui Valley in the southwest corner.

Yuncui Valley is a big bag made by Jing Jun for Ding Jun.

The troops of General Jingjun and General Yan Tianfeng of Huaiyuan were blocking the entrance of the valley. They had already built barriers, trenches, deer villages, horse traps, iron caltrops, and horse ropes all over the place. The mountains on both sides of Yuncui Valley were also defended by soldiers and horses. Prepare bows, arrows, rolling logs, and stones.

Open the trap and wait for Ding Jun to enter.

At Yunfeng of Baiyun Mountain, Zhu Hengjia looked at the eager Fengguo Lieutenant Zhu Hengkuo and the Guards Yang Huai, and said with a smile, "You guys should go down and kill the enemy and make meritorious service."

Zhu Hengkuan is the younger brother of Zhu Hengjia, who has just turned twenty-one this year; Yang Huai is an old man of the Jingjiang Prince's Palace, and has been the principal of the Prince's Palace since his grandfather's generation.

Zhu Heng excitedly accepted the order and left; but Yang Huai stood still, "It is the duty of the last general to protect the prison country, and the last general will not dare to leave the prison country to the death!"

Zhu Hengjia was greatly moved: "There is no one more loyal than you!"

??

In the camp where the wolves suddenly fled, Ding Army Governor Biao Camp guerrilla Su Pin found Sima Jixiang, the Chinese military capital, who was fleeing towards the Yuncui Valley in the southwest corner.

"Where is the Governor?"

Ma Jixiang said with a sad face, "The general will not be able to patrol all over the country, and he may die in the army."

Su Pin was the most powerful general of the Ding Army. Ding Kuichu loved his bravery and appointed him as the guerrilla leader of the Biaoying Camp.

In order to achieve great success in this raid, Ding Kuichu did not let him guard him, but let him serve as the cavalry forward with Zhao Qiansi.

When Ding Kuichu was nowhere to be found, Su Pin felt deeply that he had been indebted to Ding Kuichu for knowing him, so he said to the only remaining three hundred cavalry battalion sergeants around him: "The governor has treated me very kindly, and today is the time for me to repay him with my life." ”.

Instead of escaping to the southwest, he fought from the northeast toward the central army of the Jing Army regardless of life and death.

Three hundred elite cavalry soldiers look like crazy tigers.

Su Pin opened the Kaiyuan Bow, and with a "swish" sound, a member of General Jing fell down; he threw away the soft bow, replaced the sword in his hand, and waved lightly, and the head rolled down.

Everyone followed closely behind, forming an arrow that went straight through the Jingjun formation.

A Ding soldier was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse, but his horse's speed did not slow down; a Ding soldier had his left arm cut off, but he still used his right arm to kill the enemy...

One man tried his best, but a hundred men failed, and Su Cheng penetrated the formation.

After Su Pin's troops penetrated the Jing army's formation, only about fifty people remained. They still ignored him and went straight to Yunfeng to kill Zhu Hengjia's army.

At the top of Yunfeng Mountain, Zhu Hengjia saw a general covered in blood, rushing towards him to kill him. He couldn't help being frightened and said: "I didn't expect that there was such a person in Ding's army! This is the evil from ancient times!"

I deeply regret that I should not have allowed Zhu Heng to lead his bodyguards to kill the enemy and perform meritorious deeds. He had a thousand bodyguards, but now there are only 500 left at his side.

Su Pin fought to the foot of Yunfeng Mountain, where the slope was steep, so he dismounted and fought on foot.

A general is a soldier's courage, and when his subordinates saw Su Pin's bravery, their morale was greatly boosted.

A member of the Ding Army was hit by several arrows, but he still used his wild goose feather knife to kill a Jing Army member; a Ding Army member who had already cut the knife in his hand until it curled up, still grabbed the Jing Army's spear, and killed several people to death.

Seeing that the enemy was less than a hundred steps away from him, Zhu Hengjia nervously drew his sword.

Yang Huai, the personal guard beside him, shouted: "The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the Lord humiliates his ministers to death." He led dozens of guards to kill Su Pin.

Su Pin fought fiercely for more than two hours and was at the end of his strength. He fought bravely and was shot several times. Yang Huai slashed him in the neck and died.

After the battle, Zhu Hengjia caressed Yang Huaibei and cried: "If you are not loyal and loyal, I will die alone!"

??

In Yuncui Valley, Zhao Qiansi, a guerrilla from the front camp of the Soviet army, called Yan Zungao, a guerrilla from the left camp. Sima Jixiang, the commander of the Chinese army, said: "Our army has reached the point of death, and we will fight at the point of death. The second prince will follow me to kill the enemy."

Zhao Qiansi has always had great prestige among the Ding army, and all the generals are willing to obey his orders and follow him to kill.

Zhao Qiansi led the cavalry to attack the valley entrance bravely. However, the mountain road was rugged and the valley was narrow. The Jing army also built many deer villages, traps, horse ropes, iron caltrops and other objects, causing the cavalry to fall off their horses one after another.

Zhao Qiansi had no choice but to dismount and fight on foot.

When they rushed to the front of the Jingjun formation, the Jingjun army had already dug a trench. There was a spear formation behind the trench, and a barrier was built behind the formation. There were hundreds of crouching tiger cannons behind the barrier.

Yan Tianfeng, the general of the Jing Army and Huaiyuan General, ordered his men to bombard the Ding Army. Only a hundred people of the Ding Army rushed through the ditch. Zhao Qiansi was unable to break through the Jing Army formation and was killed by dozens of arrows.

When Zhao Qiansi died, Ding Jun was frightened and had to retreat to Yuncui Valley.

On the top of Yunfeng, Zhu Hengjia saw that his own army had surrounded Ding's army. He said to his left and right: "These are all our Ming soldiers. What's the point of killing more? They will be laughed at by the Tartars. Pass on the order of the orphan, and those who surrender will avoid death." .

"The King of Jingjiang oversees the country and those who surrender will be spared death." The valley echoed endlessly. The officers and soldiers of the Ding army no longer had the will to fight, so they abandoned their armor and surrendered one after another.

??

In this battle, Jing's army suffered more than 800 casualties; Ding's army suffered more than 2,000 casualties and more than 4,000 surrendered. It is known in history as the Battle of Baiyun Mountain.
