Chapter 286: Digging pits and waiting for the Ming army
At this time, Namtai's army was like a wounded wolf, surrounded by several little jackals. Relying on his reputation before being injured, he roared at the few little jackals to intimidate them so that they did not dare to attack him.
The Ming army was obviously divided into several groups. Although they were willing to pounce on them, they were unwilling to act as guns for others. They went up to fight, but were taken advantage of by their companions.
Even so, some Dajin soldiers will still come into contact with the Ming army. In these small-scale contact areas, the Ming army will become extremely ferocious and swarm them regardless.
Two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands. After the Dajin soldiers were beaten to death by the Ming army, a group of Ming army cavalry around them often dismounted first and grabbed things from the ground.
Shuotuo looked carefully and suddenly understood. The Dajin soldiers carried a lot of property stolen from Yongping, which made these Ming soldiers jealous.
Being able to obtain the title of Baylor through military exploits, Shuotuo's war IQ was obviously not too low. After some thought, he came up with an idea and began to take action. Not only did he want to rescue Namtai, he was also prepared to teach the Ming army a harsh lesson.
Besides, Sun Chengzong was old and had not slept all night. He rushed from Luanzhou to Yongping, and his body was already a little tired. Therefore, he did not move with the cavalry, but led the main force of the infantry to the north.
Judging from the news fed back by the cavalry, the battle situation is still relatively optimistic, and the Ming army is basically on the offensive.
This kind of situation was not common before, or to be precise, it was not common before arriving in Yongping.[
Sun Chengzong was thinking about the changes in the various Ming cavalry armies when he was suddenly interrupted by Qin Liangyu: "My soldier, is the cavalry too far away from the infantry?"
Qin Liangyu led more than a thousand cavalry with white poles to protect the Chinese army and did not pursue Jianlu.
Sun Chengzong followed the sound and looked at Qin Liangyu, thought for a while and explained to her: "I ordered the cavalry troops from all walks of life to contain the Jianlu and slow down their speed. It is not a decisive battle with the Jianlu. Although the distance between the infantry and cavalry is a bit far, it is expected that
It doesn’t matter.”
However, Sun Chengzong knew that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and no one knew whether the cavalry would eventually act according to the plan.
Sun Chengzong thought about it for a while and felt that it would be better to play it safe, so he ordered the infantry to speed up their march and catch up with the cavalry.
Then he sent his personal guards to give orders to Zu Dashou, the cavalry commander on the front line, telling him to be careful and not to be fooled by Jianlu.
Zu Dashou was angry when he received Sun Chengzong's order. The other general soldiers accompanying him did not like his temporary command.
We are all general soldiers. Why should you let me charge first? I have to charge first. If you have the ability, you charge first. As long as the Jianlu are dispersed, we will ensure that the Jianlu are dealt with completely.
Zu Dashou also had his own thoughts, and of course he would not rush in first. These Jianlu were carrying the property of the whole city of Yongping. This wealth was so much that everyone was jealous, and no one wanted this money to fall into the hands of others.
hand.
Zu Dashou looked at the thousands of Jianlu not far away and felt that Sun Chengzong was a little too cautious. Even if there was no infantry, the cavalry, which was several times the number of Jianlu, could kill these Jianlu if it continued at this rate.
He said to Sun Chengzong's bodyguard: "Go back and tell our soldiers that there are few captives and their morale is not high. The cavalry is fully capable of killing them on their own. Please feel free to rest assured!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard beside him suddenly shouted: "Commander, there is a situation."
Zu Dashou looked up and saw smoke and dust billowing up behind Jianlu, as if many reinforcements were coming. He was immediately shocked.
Other general soldiers had also discovered this situation, and with awe in their hearts, they began to shrink their troops and move closer to Zu Dashou's Guan Ning Cavalry.
As a result, the Jianlu and Ming armies were temporarily out of contact, leaving a gap in the battlefield.[
Zu Dashou's first reaction was to immediately change his mind and ask Sun Chengzong's personal guards to go back and report the latest military situation, and asked his soldiers to arrive as soon as possible, otherwise they might not be able to contain Jianlu.
Just as the Ming army cautiously entered a defensive state, Shuotuo led his men and appeared in front of everyone's attention.
He ordered two hundred soldiers to tie branches to their horses' tails and gallop back and forth in the rear, while he led the rest of his troops in a slightly scattered way, creating the illusion that a large army was coming to help. He forced the Ming army to shrink in order to give Namtai's troops a breather.
opportunity, and at the same time, it also allows him to calmly plan the next step.
Namtai also saw the dust rising in the sky behind him, and the big golden flag was vaguely visible. He thought that the Liaodong troops had invaded from Qingshui Mingyue Pass, and he joined Shuotuo and arrived in time, otherwise there would be no such big movement, and he was immediately happy
Laughed loudly.
The Ming army has been oppressed these days and it's finally their turn to get angry.
When he saw Shuotuo in front of the reinforcements, he rushed forward to meet him.
Unexpectedly, after communicating with each other, Namtai knew the real situation. It turned out that he was just deceiving the Ming army, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.
However, when Shuotuo told his plan, Namtai turned from worry to joy, and quickly asked his guards to pass on the order, making sure to inform every soldier.
All the generals of the Ming army were observing the situation of Jianlu's reinforcements. If the situation was not right, they planned to retreat and rely on the main force of the infantry behind them.
But after watching for a long time, the dust was still flying behind Jianlu, but no new Jianlu troops were seen, only the first two thousand Jianlu troops.
Just when these general soldiers were in shock and doubt, Zu Dashou sent someone to invite them to discuss matters.
After all the generals arrived, Zu Dashou said straight to the point: "The reason why everyone is reluctant to attack is because of the Yongping property that Jianlu is carrying. Now that we have waited for so long, Jianlu has arrived with reinforcements. We have to wait some more."
If we go down, it’s hard to say whether reinforcements will come again.”
The generals all looked at Zu Dashou, and a few looked at Jianlu in the distance, weighing Zu Dashou's words in their hearts.
"The commander-in-chief has sent someone to inform our troops about Jianlu's reinforcements. It is estimated that our troops will arrive soon. If our troops arrive, Jianlu's property will belong to the imperial court. This is the property of the entire city of Yongping!
"Zu Dashou emphasized the last words "Yongping whole city" with great emphasis.
"Then what do you think we should do?" said a general soldier.
"Yes, let it go quickly!" Another general soldier also echoed.
Although Zu Dashou was dissatisfied with the dirty words in their mouths, there was nothing he could do about it. He wanted to solve the current problem, not to quarrel with them.
"My commander-in-chief means to launch an attack immediately. We can't wait any longer. Otherwise, if the Jianlu reinforcements appear again, it will be difficult to say whether we can win by ourselves. I would like to remind you that we will wait until there are more Jianlu reinforcements."
, you have to rely on the infantry where you are, and in this case, the whole city's money will be gone."
Several general soldiers looked at each other and felt that Zu Dashou's words were indeed reasonable. If they had to wait any longer and watch this huge sum of money being robbed by the rebels, or wait until the soldiers arrived and take it back to the imperial court, it would be worse than now.
It's better to compromise and settle.
"Then how do you divide it?" asked a general soldier.
"Whoever kills the Jianlu will own it!" Zu Dashou had already had an idea.
"This is not fair. You Guan Ning have more cavalry, so of course you will kill more." A commander-in-chief immediately objected.
"Then let me, Guan Ning's army, attack first to attract Jianlu's attention. How about you attack from the side?" Zu Dashou stated his conditions.
The other general soldiers didn't say anything for a while, they looked at each other, a little hesitant.
"Why, you don't want this property, right? Then our Guan Ning army will take care of it all. I don't believe it. A city's property can't make up for the lost soldiers."
Zu Dashou had already noticed that the Jianlu in front seemed different from the previous Jianlu, lacking an elite and tough spirit.
Even with Guan Ning's own strength, I'm afraid he can still eat it. Even if there is a stalemate with these Jianlu, these general soldiers will bite them for the property.
After Zu Dashou finished speaking, he stopped caring about them and began to mobilize his troops in front of them.
As soon as the general soldiers saw that Zu Dashou was coming, they quickly turned around and went back to their own troops, ready to wait for the opportunity.
None of them expected that the insidious Shuo Tuo was digging a hole waiting for them to jump.
