Chapter 463: Ambush in the Jungle

It was midnight that night when Wu Yong led the Light Cavalry Battalion, the Heavy Cavalry Battalion, and the Medical Battalion to set out west. There was no concealment along the way. There were not many spies from Xixia along the way.

Because the rangers of the Cangzhou Army were so powerful, they were equipped with telescopes and rotary muskets. Whenever they encountered the Xixia Rangers, they would rush up and kill them as soon as possible.

This is how war is. The stronger the stronger the soldiers are, the more they are, the more they are, the weaker the weaker they are. The soldiers are zero, and they will disperse before the war is fought.

Now the Cangzhou Army is at a time when morale is overwhelming.

More than 12,000 people rushed to the middle of the night. After walking for two hours, they gradually saw the fish belly white and walked out about sixty miles.

Wu Yong passed down the order: "Stay on the spot, people eat food, and horses eat food."

The Fire Head Army is so hard that other soldiers can rest, but they cannot rest. Set up a big pot and cook something for everyone.

The Cangzhou army is not short of food, food and meat. There are also a lot of horses seized from small wars these days.

Some horses were shot too many times, and they were destined to be a pity, so they could only eat meat.

Besides, the six thousand troops behind Chai Lin did not set off the camp until dawn and headed west.

Zhang Chong is sleeping in the middle army. He has been so cowardly these days, and he has had enough of it.

"General, the Cangzhou army has left and is actually heading west."

"Win the west, isn't it our good water river? Our five thousand troops and countless food and supplies are stationed there." Zhang Chong said.

Zhang Chong frowned, not knowing what the Cangzhou army was going to do. This is an army that he had never come into contact with. He never followed the rules when fighting, and he fought with hammers in the east and the west.

"No, I'm going to go to Haoshuichuan to cook food and grass." Zhang Chong was shocked and sweated.

The border areas were sparsely populated, and Tong Guan implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. This time, the invasion of the Western Xia army did not get any benefits. The total grain was only tens of millions of kilograms, among which Haoshuichuan was piled with five million kilograms of barley and soybeans.

This is an important food for horse feed and people to eat. If more than 100,000 Xixia troops are lost, they will go hungry.

"No, I will send someone to notify the marshal immediately, and a cavalry of about 20,000 people rushed to Haoshuichuan." Zhang Chong immediately issued an order.

"Yes." The messenger took three horses and rushed towards Weizhou Prefecture.

Zhang Chong did not dare to neglect, so he lit up the only two thousand cavalry and followed slowly.

Good Shuichuan is the life gate of the people of Xixia and must be protected.

Chai Lin led his troops to walk slowly for thirty miles.

Niu Gao came to report: "Sir, Zhang Chong has followed, and there are still ten miles of land."

Chai Lin nodded and said, "I understand, let's explore again."

"Yes." Niu Gao followed up and looked forward.

Shan Shiqi said: "Brother Niu Gao is very capable. He doesn't know how tired he is all day long."

Chai Lin smiled and said, "Hahaha, do you think he is quite old when you see his beard. He is only eighteen."

Shan Shiqi was completely fainted. This guy is only eighteen?

Chai Lin said: "Don't Li Ying, Lu Da, Shan Shiqi, the three brothers want to make contributions?"

"Yes, I've been fighting since I came to the northwest." Shan Shiqi said.

Chai Lin pointed to a poplar forest in front and said, "There is a small forest here. Here, I ambushed here. After a while, Zhang Chong fought hard to kill half of him. But I can only leave you with five hundred creeping tiger artillery soldiers from Li Ying's troops and one hundred cavalry soldiers from Shan Shiqi."

"Enough, enough. Sa's family comes to command." Luda rushed to say.

"Okay, Lu Da is in full command, Li Ying and Shan Shiqi assist. As soon as I lead the brigade accelerates, Zhang Chong from behind will be anxious."

"Okay, brother, let's see."

This little wood is not big, and there are not many people ambushing it.

Chai Lin accelerated his march and led more than 5,000 main troops, riding a short iron-hoofed horse to the west.

Cavalry marching is usually used. Once it runs, the horsepower will be quite harmful. Once it encounters an enemy, the horse will be unable to sprint, which is too miserable.

Later, Zhang Chong received a report: "The Cangzhou Army accelerated its journey westward and even abandoned some unnecessary food and grass."

"We can also speed up, we can't fall too far." Zhang Chong issued an order.

Why did Zhang Chong dare to follow him? He was also confident. He believed that his two thousand light cavalry were definitely not the opponent of the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Cangzhou Army. But he understood even more that if the heavy armored iron cavalry wanted to catch up with the light cavalry, it would be a delusion.

The two thousand light cavalrymen of Zhang Chong rode all good horses from Xixia. They ran as fast as the wind and could not beat you, but I could run past you. That's why Zhang Chong chose to follow closely.

After moving forward for more than ten miles, he gradually entered the ambush circle of Luda and others.

This is a short shrub forest. There is less rainfall in the northwest region and less woods. There is just a river here and there are many small trees.

Ruda grinned in the grass.

Li Ying said: "It's enough, it's 200 meters long, and it's time to open the fire."

"Don't panic, it's enough to hit one hundred and fifty meters." Lu Da said with a smile.

Li Ying was a little panicked. He only had 200 artillery guns, a total of 500 people. If the enemy rushed up, he would probably have a fierce battle.

Lu Da smiled and said, "Defendant General Li, don't panic, what you are fighting on the battlefield is psychological warfare. I can guarantee that as long as you have a round of cannons, Zhang Chong will lead the team to escape."

As he was talking, Zhang Chong waved his hand and stopped the team. It seemed that he had discovered something was wrong.

Under normal circumstances, there are flocks of birds and beasts with rivers. Today it is a bit too quiet, which is a sign of an ambush.

"Fire." No longer hiding, Luda issued an order to fire.

The black muzzle was pushed out of the bushes, and the artillerymen holding the fuse ignited the crouching tiger cannon.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom bo

Tens of thousands of hot steel balls rushed over and buzzed, like bees blowing a nest, covering the entire sky.

After all, Zhang Chong is a martial arts master, hiding in a saddle, hiding on the side of the horse.

But the cavalry next to him did not react so quickly, and were beaten by steel beads and fell off the horse.

In just one moment, the first half of the two thousand cavalry was over, and at least seven or eight hundred were destroyed.

Lu Da laughed at the top of his voice: "Hahaha, ignorant child, how dare you follow the Cangzhou army? Do you know how many artillery we have? Two thousand artillery, stand there and don't move, and eat another round of artillery shells."

Zhang Chong turned his horse's head and found that the horse was injured. He made a cruel decision and pulled out the dagger and came over the back of the horse's buttocks.

Lead the remaining team to escape quickly.

Li Ying quickly ordered the soldiers to reload the ammunition, and in three or four minutes, it was reloaded again.

"It just so happens that we have not set up a position. If they rushed forward, the losses would be great." Li Ying said.
