Chapter 511 Victory in the first battle

Bosain Timur looked to his left and right, and saw ten thousand Tatar warriors lying quietly on both sides of the road, waiting for Zhang Fu's troops returning from Juyong Pass to aid Peiping to pass by.

The ambush site he chose was located on the south bank of the Shahe River. The Shahe Bridge was the only way between Peiping and Juyong Pass. As long as Zhang Fu did not want to take more than two hours to take a detour elsewhere, he would definitely pass through the Shahe Bridge.

The Shahe Bridge itself is not wide. There are sparse forests on both sides of the south bank, which is the ideal place for an ambush. When the time comes for Zhang Fu's team to cross the river, they will have to be stretched by the Shahe Bridge into a long one. When the team in front reaches the other side of the river,

He still had to wait for the rear team to slowly cross the bridge, that was the best moment for him to order an attack.

Bosai was sweating on Timur's palms. Even though it was early winter, his blood was still boiling with excitement in his heart. As long as he fought this battle well, he would prove himself in front of the entire Tatar tribe.

Including Ling Yufei, few people in the Central Plains have heard of the name Bosain Timur, but in the prairie, he is highly respected because of the glorious surname "Timur".

He claims to be the grandson of Wang Baobao (Koke ​​Temur), a famous general in the late Yuan Dynasty. He is quite proud of his family background. He is also the highest-ranking lieutenant under Guilichi except Arutai.

However, there are also rumors on the grassland that there is no solid evidence for his claim to be a descendant of Wang Baobao. He is most likely an illegitimate son who cannot be included in the genealogy and is a loser. His relationship with Gui Lichi is also mutual use.

Gui Lichi used him as the "Queen of Famous Generals" to enhance his political reputation, and he used his family reputation, which was unknown to be true or false, to pave the way for his career.

This time when the Tatars invaded, Guilichi camped under the city and took charge personally. He and Arutai took turns leading the attack on the city, so he gave the task of blocking Zhang Fu's reinforcements to Bosein Timur.

As long as he can defeat Zhang Fu, he will not only prove that he is not the wastrel who was promoted only by family reputation as rumored, but he can even further make the Timur family famous.

Bosain Timur looked at the Shahe Bridge not far away, thinking about the battle that was almost certain to be won in the near future, and his cheeks turned red with excitement.

Zoro, known as the "No. 1 Swordsman Beyond the Wall", was lying on the left side of Bosein with a gloomy expression. His sword didn't even have a scabbard, just hanging casually on his waist, but no one dared to look down on him.

Mongolians mostly charge on horseback and are not used to using swords. Solo's sword technique was developed from the Western Regions. The sword body is light and narrow, and the sword can be drawn out very quickly. The use of a scabbard also saves the time of drawing the sword. Ordinary people don't even have time to see it.

By the time I saw the shadow of his sword, it had already been pierced through the throat.

Yepa Uri, a big man who practiced hard kung fu, was lying on the right hand side of Busein. Unlike most hard kung fu masters who have violent and impulsive personalities, Yepa Uri was a very quiet person. He had a dark complexion and a jade-like appearance.

The whites of his eyes are particularly conspicuous. He often stares into space somewhere, as if he is deep in thought, but also as if he is not interested in anything.

Gui Lichi specially sent these two masters to help out, in order to capture Zhang Fu alive in this ambush battle, and take him to the gates of Beiping City to break the fighting spirit of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

All the arrangements, from strategy to tactics, were arranged in an orderly manner, and Zhang Fu seemed destined to be arrested.

No one noticed that a gray night owl had been hovering above the sparse forest for a long time.

The footsteps of the brigade were heard in the distance, and Bosain Timur suddenly became energetic. Solo put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and Yepauri also stopped thinking.

The Tatar warriors lurking in the forest couldn't help but peek out, and saw a team of about 8,000 people stepping onto the Shahe Bridge from the north.

Seeing that Zhang Fu's team was all infantry, Timur felt more confident. Even without an ambush, his 10,000 cavalry could surely defeat his opponent without even giving him a chance to escape.

When he annihilates this army on the south bank of the Shah River, Zhang Fu will definitely become the prey of Solo and Yepauri.

Zhang Fu seemed to be very anxious and led the team onto the bridge without much hesitation.

As Bosain Timur expected, Zhang Fu's team was stretched very long by the narrow Shahe River Bridge, and the soldiers who crossed the river first had to wait for the rear team to cross the bridge.

He only waits for the opponent to cross the bridge halfway before he can launch an attack.

Although Zhang Fu's team was well-disciplined and the warriors who crossed the bridge first maintained a good formation by the river, as long as the Tatar cavalry charged up, they could still easily defeat the opponent.

Bosain Timur slowly raised his hand, and just as he was about to issue an order, a strange smell suddenly penetrated his nose.

It's the smell of smoke.

He looked up and was immediately shocked.

There are two sparse forests on the east and west south of the Shahe Bridge. His 10,000 cavalrymen, 5,000, are in the east, and 5,000 are in the west. At this time, only a large thick smoke was seen rising from the sparse forest in the west, and it seemed that the light of fire could still be vaguely seen.

The winter in Beiping was extremely dry. When the howling northwest wind blew the fire, it immediately became uncontrollable and spread crazily in the forests on the west side.

Even though the Tatar warriors strictly abided by the general's orders and hid in the forest silently, their horses could not bear the approach of the fire.

I don’t know whose war horse was the first to neigh. The five thousand war horses in the forest on the west side all neighed together, and then ran wildly to the east side. The soldiers tried to grab their reins, but the horses were too frightened and could not pull them.

Unable to hold him back, some soldiers were even dragged out of the forest by their horses.

Isn't the formation of five thousand horses galloping together extraordinary? They rushed out of the forest, with the raging sand river on their left, and the road on the right could only accommodate five or six horses running abreast. The safest escape direction was the dense forest on the east side directly in front.

So the war horses rushed into the dense forest on the east side in fear, frightening the horses that were ambushed in the dense forest on the east side and running around. Countless Tatar warriors were trampled and collided by the horses. Soon, the Tatar warriors in the dense forest on the west side were

They were also forced to flee to the east by the fire, and the sparse forest on the east side became increasingly chaotic.

"The enemy set fire and we fell into a trap." Solo remained calm until this moment.

Bosain Timur was frustrated and angry. While moving eastward with everyone, he said: "They seem to have expected that we would set up an ambush here."

Solo snorted and said: "More than that, in addition to Zhang Fu from Juyongguan, they at least have an army."

Bosain Timur said in astonishment: "How do you know..."

"Listen." Zoro interrupted him.

The shouts of killing gradually began to sound, not from Zhang Fu at the bridgehead, but from deep in the sparse forest on the east side.

But after hearing three war drums resounding through the sky, countless arrows shot out from the gaps in the sparse forest, shooting down a group of Tatar warriors who fled into the forest.

Seeing that there was an ambush in the forest on the east side, these soldiers turned back to the west and collided with the soldiers behind them who were still running eastward without knowing where they were. Many people were injured in a confused manner.

"Everyone, don't mess up, get on your horses quickly!" Bosain Timur finally issued his first general order in several hours.

The soldiers then woke up from a dream and looked for their horses to jump on. However, the horses were frightened and went crazy, and in an environment where it was difficult to run in the sparse forest, it was difficult for the Tatar warriors to completely control them. Sometimes they were even led by the horses in the forest.

Running around in chaos.

Seeing this scene, Lan Qiao's shining sword unsheathed, shouted "kill", and rushed forward first.

Using the cover of the trees in the forest, he slashed and killed the Tatar cavalry, which had already become a mess, as well as the warriors without horses. The horses without warriors soon became stained with blood on their robes.

Of course, it is the blood of the enemy.

Hua Yuxi, Ling Yufei, Tieniu, Gongsun Bao, Da Fengxian and more Huairou camp soldiers followed closely behind, using a huge fan-shaped surface to intercept the Tatar cavalry trying to escape from east to west.

They used the "three postures of breaking cavalry" taught by Lanqiao, and they knocked down the oncoming cavalry very efficiently. Many Tatar warriors who had not had time to mount their horses were either shot by arrows or hacked to death with swords and guns.

The forest was filled with screams and blood flowed everywhere.

At the same time, Zhang Fu also ordered an attack. The troops poured into the forest from the Shahe Bridge and attacked from both sides with the Lanqiao Department, which also blocked the Tatar army's retreat.

It's like catching a turtle in an urn.

Zhang Fu secretly sighed in his heart. Fortunately, Ling Yufei's Xiao Hui "flyed the eagle message" in time, otherwise he would have suffered a disastrous defeat.

Many Tatar warriors were forced to go north and jumped into the sandy river. Many of them drowned or froze to death.

"Solo is mine, don't fight with me." Ling Yufei caught a glimpse of Solo, unsheathed his seven-hole ding-yin sword, and rushed toward the latter in a flash.

Zoro stood still, sneered and drew his sword in one breath, stabbing Ling Yufei's wrist like lightning.

Ling Yufei swung his long sword and used his "sonic boom" stunt, which created a strange suction force in the air and forcefully sucked Solo's long sword away, twisting it together with his seven-hole fixed tone sword.

On the other side, Hua Yuxi saw that Yepa Uri was trying to save Bosain Timur and wanted to imitate Ling Yu and fly to Yepa Uri for a duel, but was pulled back by Lan Qiao: "Don't go, our manpower is limited after all.

, Don’t chase after the poor bandit, let this coward lieutenant die.”

"Just tell me if you're worried." Hua Yuxi rolled her eyes at him, but she obeyed and stopped acting randomly.

Behind the forest on the west side, Fan Niang, who had completed her task of setting fire, went around to the south road, where Jueming was guarding the road with eight hundred warriors.

After experiencing the melee in the forest, Bosain Timur finally realized that he should run south, and he and Yepauri took the lead in rushing out of the sparse forest, facing Fan Niang and Jueming.

Although they were attacked by fire first and were ambushed in the sparse forest, they ended up with 10,000 troops. At this time, other Tatar cavalry followed and escaped one after another. Although Jueming himself was able to kill, the blockade of only 800 people could not stop him.

More and more Tatar cavalry were living there, so they had to retreat to the forest with Fan Niang and others.

"Damn, it's so damn good! Are you all okay?" Tieniu came up to him, chewing a "five and a half" in one hand, and shaking his curled sword with the other hand.

Hua Yuxi and Lan Qiao also came over, reorganizing the team with Zhang Fu while treating and bandaging the wounds of the wounded.

"It's a pity, it's a pity that I let that grandson run away." Ling Yufei finally came back and returned the sword to its sheath with regret, "Zoro really has a lot of skills. I'll deal with him next time."

He was originally a hunter, but now he has become a prey. The 10,000 cavalrymen of Bosain Tamerlane fled in confusion before they could attack, and in the end, less than 6,000 people escaped.
