When faced with a dilemma, Ma Ke, who was experienced in the battlefield, suddenly got inspiration from Tu Yuan's words. As the old saying goes, strike first to gain strength, strike later and suffer disaster.
Although there are many thieves, they are mainly infantry and there are a lot of refugees who use their weapons to make up the numbers. Only half of them are really strong soldiers. If they had eaten and drank enough on weekdays, they would have done it without hesitation. However, I am too tired to face so many thieves right now.
The army can only outwit.
That is to say, strike first to gain the upper hand!
Because the morale of the rebel army at this time is quite complicated, some are fearful and some are thinking of revenge, but it is definitely not high. But if they are allowed to take the initiative, there is no doubt that morale will rise accordingly, but suddenly the officers and soldiers
They just knocked on the door first. What do you think they will do?
In addition to being in a hurry, they are also thinking wildly. Why do they dare to attack? Could it be that reinforcements from the rear have arrived?
"Everyone, please remember, our proactive attack is not only to win the battle in front of us, but more importantly, to make them fearful and unaware of the depth behind us, so that we will not be driven back to Shun'an, Hebei by the rebels.
Shore, let alone let Bai Wang surround the Wu Corps and watch helplessly." Ma Ke took a branch and poked the ground hard a few times. Tu Yuan and the others nodded: "But this method can only last at most.
After one day, if our rear army cannot catch up, once the bandits find out, we will still be unable to stop ourselves from retreating to the north bank of the Thuan An River."
"It's only a matter of time. I sent someone to inform the young governor before. How could he not know the emergency here with his mind? As expected, reinforcements are already on the way!" Marco said, looking up at Yuhui's face in the west.
He became ferocious: "General Wu became famous after fighting in the south. It's time for us to shine our name."
"Hey, let's kill all the tens of thousands of thieves, and we'll ensure that there will be a big earthquake tomorrow!" Tu Yuan got on his horse and brandished his sword: "Black Tiger Camp prepares for war!" He said to Ma Ke: "I follow.
"East flank attack" he said and clapped his horse and left.
Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu looked at each other: "Old rule, we two brothers join forces to attack the west wing." After saying that, they got on their horses and gathered their troops to go west. Marco patted his shirt and looked at the knife in his hand, then reached out and stroked the blade gently:
"I'll let you drink enough for today!"
Besides, Wang Yi'en and Yuan Sanzhong had just decided on their tactics on Stone Mountain. The spies urgently reported that the officers and soldiers were moving. The troops were divided into three groups, each with hundreds of horses, and headed towards the bandit camp on Stone Mountain. This made the two men frown.
No matter how good the frontier army is, it is impossible for them to fight another battle with a force several times their own. When a normal person hears the pressure from the opponent's army, the first thing they think of is to withdraw, but they just head on.
Why is this?
Fool?
Wang Yi'en and Yuan Sanzhong did not think that the officers and soldiers were fools. If they were so stupid, they would all have died long ago.
Is that too arrogant and arrogant, not taking the rebels seriously at all, confident that two thousand exhausted troops can win two battles in a row, even if the number of enemies is multiple?
Impossible, if they were so blindly confident, all of them would have died long ago.
Then...there is only one possibility left!
The army from behind is coming!
Fuck! Wang Yi'en was so angry that he kicked him so hard that he was out of breath: "Fuck them, how could it be such a coincidence, how could it be such a coincidence!"
"King of Hell" Yuan Sanzhong saw that Wang Yi'en was a little crazy and quickly stopped him: "At this time, we are not sure whether the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers have arrived. You should hold on." He said, grabbing Wang Yi'en and shaking him hard for a few times to finally calm him down: "Now we should
Defend the enemy first, and his troops are divided into three groups to outflank us."
"He scolded him for actually attacking first, so let's just forget about it and do it first!" Wang Yi'en said fiercely, while Yuan Sanzhong frowned and looked into the distance and then looked behind him: "The officers, soldiers and cavalry are too powerful.
You are no match for a head-on fight..."
"We are so scared! No matter how powerful he is, what can he do? I can't beat him even if I hit one out of ten?" Wang Yi'en screamed hysterically again, and as he was about to get on his horse and gather his troops, Yuan Sanzhong quickly grabbed him:
"Go up the mountain! Go up the mountain! Although this stone mountain is not high, there are rocks protruding everywhere, which is not conducive to horse fighting. Let's lure them over..."
Wonderful! Wang Yien was really overjoyed when he heard this: "Yuan Laosan, you arrange it here, and I will go and lure him here." He said and got on his horse.
"Remember not to fight them head-on. Just lead them to the vicinity of Stone Mountain. At that time, we will surround them and their cavalry will lose their fighting power..." Before Yuan Sanzhong could finish his words, Wang Yi'en had already left, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He shook his head but had no time to do anything else and quickly summoned his subordinates to prepare for war.
At sunset, the officers and soldiers, under the command of Ma Ke, divided into three groups and marched towards Stone Mountain five miles away. On the middle road, Ma Ke's troops could not go three miles before they encountered more than a thousand cavalrymen, the leader of the bandits, Wang Yi'enbu. Without any nonsense, he directly
Start drying.
Although the officers and soldiers were tired, they were still frontier troops, and the commander-in-chief Ma Ke was a tough general among the toughest generals. Wang Yi'en, who led his troops to fight for his superiority in strength, was evenly matched in the skill of drinking tea. Both sides were shocked, especially Wang Yi'en, who was captured yesterday.
Wu Sangui used the excuse of military fatigue as a slap in the face, but today... he couldn't help but secretly praise that the frontier troops were really awesome.
Just when the two armies were fighting fiercely, the sound of killing began gradually on the other side of Stone Mountain. Wang Yi'en knew that the two wings of the officers and soldiers had been killed, so he immediately withdrew his troops. Marcona allowed him to leave calmly, and pursued and killed him regardless of exhaustion...
As night fell, the sound of killings began one after another on the small, bare and lonely stone mountain fifteen miles north of Tongling City. The sound spread for miles and startled countless birds and animals. The sound of killing lasted for nearly half an hour and gradually died away. By this time, the sky had completely darkened.
There was no light in the sky and everything was so pitch black that I couldn't see my fingers.
The torches around Stone Mountain gradually lit up. Wang Yi'en and Yuan Sanzhong were covered in blood and each took their own laurels. Everywhere they looked, there were corpses, human corpses, horse corpses, officers and soldiers, traitors and refugees, everywhere.
Piles of slices.
The battle just now was extremely brutal!
It is said that Bai Wang's men can fight, and Zuo Liangyu who once fought was unable to fight back. This is not groundless, they can indeed fight. In the battle just now, Wang Yi'en and Yuan Sanzhong fought at a high level. The soldiers under his command were very desperate, fighting for their lives with the officers and soldiers one after another.
However, this was also the most brutal battle they fought since they came out of the mountain! It can even be said to be the most brutal battle in the past few years, because they encountered the most powerful Ming army. They dared to fight and fought hard. They looked down upon life and death and would do anything if they refused! How could this happen?
Wang Yi'en was even a little scared to have such desperate officers and soldiers. If Zuo Liangyu's men could fight so hard, they would have been wiped out long ago.
"There are less than two thousand horses, but we were almost unable to fight back. If it weren't for the advantage of the geographical location and the strength of the troops, I'm afraid..." A chill rose from the soles of Yuan Sanzhong's feet, making him shiver. This was
When the officers and soldiers were exhausted, looking at the dark night in the distance, the unruly look on Wang Yi'en's face could no longer be seen. Instead, it was ashen and pale, with green in the white!
