Chapter 388 Lure the enemy deep and wait for the Tatars to crash into the ambush!
"asshole!"
"What on earth are we doing for food in front of us? To make these bright dogs so arrogant!"
Seeing that the attack was thwarted, and even the bravest centurion in the vanguard was beheaded by the Ming army, the little Tatar prince was immediately furious and wished he could just have the army attack him and completely destroy this damn city.
However, although he was furious, his mind was not so bad after all. He just told the front troops to retreat first with a gloomy face.
The cronies on the side were also furious and yelled and cursed one after another. In their words, they wanted to smash the bones of the city guarding general into ashes and cut his body into thousands of pieces!
"Gather the soldiers below and rest for a while. After an hour, we will continue to attack the city!"
The little Tatar prince gave the order coldly, gritting his teeth:
"I don't believe that such a small city can still stop my army from advancing?"
Many officers immediately stopped their horses and began to gather the soldiers. Various scoldings were heard from time to time. It was obvious that everyone had anger in their hearts...
On the Gyeongju city wall, the military general surnamed Chen, who had been charging and killing fiercely for a while, also sat down on the battlements, his expression not very good.
"Old Zhang, do you think these Tatars hate us to the core right now?"
The lieutenant nodded, but that was not the case. Hot and smelly golden juice was poured on his head, and he was hit on his head by a sharp and heavy rolling stone. He finally climbed up the ladder and rushed to the city wall, and all of them were hacked to death with knives and shot randomly.
Being stabbed to death, no one can bear this...
"Although I gave them a hard blow, General," the deputy general said slowly:
"The Tatar army is huge. This little damage will at most cause the general on the opposite side to feel pain for a while, but it's not a serious injury."
"Maybe they will get even crazier later."
General Chen glanced at his lieutenant and said angrily:
"Of course I understand that."
He looked into the distance through the observation hole for a while, turned his head and said to the deputy general:
"Hey, who do you think the leader of the army on the opposite side will be, who is the most important figure in the Tatar army? I look at the flag, and it doesn't look like that old guy from Arutai."
The lieutenant-general had just looked at him carefully for a while. When he saw his general asking a question, he shook his head and said:
"I'm not using the banner of Alutai. This grand master, oh no, I heard he is already a khan. He should be still behind."
"The man in front of us is probably a Tatar prince. I just don't know whether he is a big one or a small one."
General Chen sneered:
"It doesn't matter how big or small he is, he will soon become dead anyway."
He was silent for a while and then said:
"Is everything arranged below?"
"These Tatars will attack once or twice at most. They will withdraw their troops when it gets dark, and we will withdraw."
"Before the army is surrounded, run faster at night, cast a long line to catch big fish, and fish these Tatars into your pockets."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made arrangements over there, and is just waiting to deal with these guys."
The deputy general nodded:
"The injured brothers have all been arranged, and all the supplies on the road and the prepared baits have been prepared. We can start just waiting for dark."
He glanced out at the observation hole a few more times, with some doubts in his tone:
"I'm afraid that these Tatars will not follow common sense and attack the city even if they light torches at night..."
The general surnamed Chen snorted coldly:
"Didn't His Highness the Crown Prince say that when necessary, abandon all supplies and run as hard as you can in the direction of Quaning? Don't worry about anything else. As long as a person can make it alive, it will be considered a great achievement."
"The Tatars are used to being poor. They originally wanted to go south to plunder. His Highness the Prince specially sent us those gold and silver properties. Isn't it just to make them take the bait?"
The deputy general also laughed:
"Anyway, if you throw it to them now, you will get it all back later, haha."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they were not facing a huge army and there was no pressure at all.
…
"The Tatars came quite quickly."
Zhu Gaojie, who rushed from Xingzhou to Quaning, after hearing the spies' report, smiled and said to Su Wu beside him:
"This is accurate news. Knowing that I am having a hard time in the capital, I want to beat the slow with speed, so I just rush all the way south to the capital."
The commander of the capital, Su Wu, looked a little unhappy. Now there was an undercurrent in the capital, and he knew about it, but he didn't expect that the Tatars also seemed to know about it, and took advantage of this opportunity to go south in one fell swoop.
This is clearly someone colluding with foreign enemies!
"Okay," Zhu Gaojie waved his hand and didn't care, "It's just a minor problem. I only dare to hide behind and cause trouble secretly. It doesn't matter. The reason why I personally led the troops this time is because I want to
Completely defeat the Tatars."
"By the way, we have to tidy up the entire north, so that we can free up our hands to tidy up the south."
"Otherwise, most of the national grain taxes will be paid in the wealthy lands in the south. If there is no peace there, it will be a lot of fun."
He looked at the large map hanging on the wall:
"The Tatar vanguard army can actually gather tens of thousands of string control men. We really can't let them go anymore."
"Back then, I went on an expedition with my father. Although we beheaded a Tatar khan and killed the leader of Oara, Mahamu, their foundation was still there. In just a few years, they began to make trouble again.
"
"Su Wu."
"This time, I want the Tatar chickens and dogs not to be spared!"
Su Wu stood up suddenly and took the order loudly without hesitation.
For him, following Zhu Gaojie is the most important thing. Since His Highness the Prince said that he would eradicate the Tatars, he must kill them all!
"We have made all arrangements here, and the net has been set up. We are just waiting for the Tatar army to rush in."
"As long as Chen Jing's side doesn't lose control, I guess they will be here soon tomorrow."
Su Wu also looked at the map. Chen Jing was his old subordinate. He had warned him in person before, and with His Highness the Crown Prince's arrangement, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Your Highness, would you like those from Fengziying to come with you?"
Zhu Gaojie shook his head slightly. There were divine arm bows and giant axes, as well as military formations trained by Yue Fei himself. The expanded Shenji Battalion took the lead, and then brought several second-line troops around to eat up this Tatar vanguard army.
That should be enough.
"Stay still for the time being. The intelligence reports say that the 100,000-strong army of the Tatar Khan Arutai is still behind. Chen Jing and the others have the little Tatar prince there, only 30,000 in number. If the Shenji Battalion cannot even absorb this,
Then how can we flatten the entire grassland?"
"When the army of the little Tartar prince is defeated, Arutai will change the direction of march if possible. Fengzi camp cannot move for the time being."
Zhu Gaojie made the final decision:
"We are waiting for work, just waiting for the little Tartar prince to crash in."
