Chapter 1490 Ambush
"Chen Yingzheng, do you think the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu will send reinforcements to support Yang Guozhu?"
On a half-slope leading to the Xuanfu Bingma Camp, Cheng Ping hid behind the hillside and said to Chen Yunhui, who was also hiding here.
The army of tiger-shaped flags that left the city from Xinpingbao was divided into two groups. One army and horse was led by Gao Zhongyun to attack the Datong Bianma camp, and the other army and horse, led by Chen Yunhui, lie on the way to the Xuanfu Bianma camp to the Datong Bianma camp.
"Wait, Yang Guozhu hasn't sent someone to deliver letters to the Xuanfu Army Camp." Chen Yunhui, who was holding a dead grass in his mouth, said.
Cheng Ping next to him said, "I am just worried that the soldiers in Xuanfu will not move. If they don't come, we will waste our time here in vain."
"It's nothing wrong if you don't come. When Deputy Chief Gao defeated Yang Guozhu's army, we will join forces to deal with the troops from Xuanfu in one fell swoop." Chen Yunhui said.
Cheng Ping nodded slightly.
"Beijingzheng, Staff Cheng, let's eat something first!" Chen Yunhui's guard came up from behind, carrying two cloth bags in his hand.
Chen Yunhui reached out to take the cloth bag and threw it to Cheng Ping on the side.
Then, he reached out and took out a handful of fried noodles from the cloth bag, put it in his mouth and started eating.
The guard put down two more water bags and left.
"It's a pity that I can't make a fire, so I can only use this thing to make do with it." Cheng Ping looked at the fried noodles in his hand, reached out his mouth and took a bite, and then licked the fried noodles on his palm with his tongue.
While chewing in his mouth, he pulled out the plug on the water bag, raised the water bag and drank a big sip of water, and pulled the fried noodles in his mouth and throat.
Chen Yunhui next to him also made the same move.
Take a bite of fried noodles and drink a sip of water.
"It's good to have such food. It can fill your stomach without ignition. Back then, he fled to Datong with the boss. Not to mention fried noodles, even wild vegetables were often eaten." Chen Yunhui said while eating.
Cheng Ping looked down at the fried noodles in his hand and said, "I don't think that fried noodles are unpalatable. It's really much worse than the food made by the cooking team, and there is no oil or water at all."
"How can we say there is no oil and water? They are all fried in butter. The soldiers of the Ming border army cannot eat such good things." Chen Yunhui said.
Step! Step! Step! Step!
A rapid improvement came from the road below the hillside, interrupting the conversation between the two people.
Chen Yunhui tied a cloth bag containing fried noodles, pulled out a monocular lens from his waist, and looked on the road below the hillside.
Cheng Ping, who was next to him, also took out a monocular lens and looked down at the hillside.
"It's ours." Cheng Ping said.
The two cavalrymen who appeared on the road below the hillside were wearing the chest plaque of the cavalry, as well as the sabre and cavalry guns that were standard for the chest plaque of the cavalry.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, only the cavalry with the tiger flag dressed like this.
"It seems that the troops of Xuanfu have been dispatched." Chen Yunhui said to Cheng Ping beside him.
Hearing this, Cheng Ping nodded.
Not long after, Chen Yunhui's guard trotted over and appeared in front of the two people.
"The camp is in charge, just now the news came from the whistle cavalry that the Xuanfu army camp was heading towards us." The guard said.
Chen Yunhui turned his head and said to his guard: "Send the order and prepare for battle."
The guard turned his head and ran to pass the order.
"I've been waiting for so long, but I've come." Cheng Ping was ready to rub his hands.
The two official troops who came to Xinpingbao were almost the most troops that the border troops in Xuanfu and Datong towns could produce. As long as these two official troops were destroyed, there would be no imperial army in Xuanda area that could threaten the tiger flag.
Half an hour passed.
On the far road, a team of cavalry appeared, and flags appeared in Chen Yunhui's eyes.
"Chen Yingzheng, do you think that when we conquer Xuanda, can the boss be the king?" Cheng Ping said excitedly.
Chen Yunhui glanced at him and said, "You are thinking too far. We must fight this battle first before we can have what you said. Don't forget that the Xuanfu army is nearly 20,000 troops. If we defeat this battle, we may have to retreat to the grassland in the future."
"Don't worry, we don't know what kind of morality the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu are. We can only fight a few personal soldiers and servants around the generals, and the remaining battalions and soldiers are only fighting with the wind. Although the official army has 20,000 soldiers and horses, they are still not our opponents, let alone we mention setting up an ambush here." Cheng Ping said with a smile.
Chen Yunhui, who had been paying attention to the situation under the hillside, looked up and said, "Tell the artillery team not to fire the artillery first, and fire the artillery when the battle begins."
The messenger squatting beside him ran to pass the command.
Although the Xuanfu army below had not yet fallen into the encirclement, it also entered the range of the cannon.
The hillside is extremely quiet, and apart from the sound of breathing, it is difficult to hear other movements that do not belong to this hillside.
On the road below, as the government troops got closer, the sound became louder and louder.
The official cavalry walking in front passed by Chen Yunhui's eyes and walked forward along the main road. However, due to the drag of the infantry behind, the speed of traveling was not fast.
Chen Yunhui was like a very patient hunter, waiting for his prey to fall into the trap little by little.
"The one riding a horse in front is Wang Bao!" Cheng Ping whispered.
At this time, on the road below the hillside, a military general in armor was passing by, with many guards beside him, and a flag behind him.
On the flag, there is a big character named Zhao.
Chen Yunhui shook his head slightly and said, "It's not him, the general of Xuanfu is Wang Bao. This guy's general is written by Zhao. He should be the head general of the first battalion, or Wang Bao's deputy general."
"Then are you still waiting? Is it time to do it?" Cheng Ping asked Chen Yunhui in a low voice.
Almost one-quarter of the Xuanfu soldiers passing through the hillside.
Chen Yunhui frowned slightly and said, "Wait a minute, if you can wait for Wang Bao, this battle will be even better."
Cheng Ping had no choice but to continue waiting with him.
After all, Wang Bao is the commander of this Xuanfu army. If Wang Bao can be captured and killed alive, this Xuanfu army will definitely fall into chaos.
Almost a quarter of an hour passed.
Cheng Ping couldn't help but say, "Can't wait."
"Fight!" Chen Yunhui slapped his palm hard on the earth slope in front of him.
Beep!
The copper whistle suddenly rang on the hillside.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who had been hiding on the hillside began to throw the stones blocking their faces down.
Countless rocks of different sizes rolled down and hit the Xuanfu soldiers below.
The sudden attack caught the Xuanfu army who was about to pass through the hillside and caught him off guard.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Chapter completed!
