The area outside Wanlayerxia Pass is vast and flat. This kind of place is a paradise for Tatar cavalry, where they can gallop and run wild.
And walking ten miles from Wanlayer Gorge is the location of the Tatar logistics camp.
This Tatar army still does not know the news that tens of thousands of troops are trapped in the Wanlayer Gorge, and it is impossible to imagine that the Central Plains army will have the opportunity to attack them.
During the day, after bringing the baggage and grain into the valley, the Tatars took some time off.
The Tatars do not have as many military regulations as the Central Plains army. Drinking is allowed in the army, but there is also a rule that you can be half drunk and must not be drunk.
The troops responsible for guarding and patrolling late at night had already been drunk and sat on the ground and took a nap.
In fact, in many cases, humans are inferior to animals.
Having learned the lesson from that day when all 20,000 Shuofang troops were killed due to drunkenness, they still had not drawn conclusions from it.
Perhaps they thought they had a sure chance of victory, but how could they know that tonight's Central Plains people would be lurking not far away just like their last night attack on Wanlayer Gorge.
At that time, all 1,100 people were prostrate under a hillside.
At this night, Han Xin'er was like an eagle, standing on a hillside alone, looking down coldly at the Tatar camp in the distance.
The Tatar camps generally house around twenty people, and a rough count of the number of camps totals more than a hundred, which means the number of people should be around two thousand to three thousand.
In Han Xin'er's advance plan, if there were less than 2,000 people, he could just lead a surprise attack on the Tatar camp. If there were 3,000 people, he would have to outwit them.
At the moment, it is obviously unbeatable.
Soon he came to the Shu army again.
After looking at the people lying on the ground, holding two wooden sticks with cloth strips wrapped around the ends, Han Xiner asked lightly.
"Are you ready?"
A Qianqi commander stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Go back to the general, as per your instructions, each person has been assigned two wooden sticks."
In fact, everyone was very confused about this. They thought they were attacking the Tatar logistics tent at night.
But who would have thought that the first order this young boy gave them was that there was no need to attack the Tatar army's tent, they only needed to light up the two wooden sticks and keep running and waving them in the distance.
If it weren't for General Chen's strict orders, these veterans would really not want to obey such a young boy. Isn't it child's play for a group of thirty or forty-year-old battlefield veterans to be led by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy to fight?
As for Han Xiner, he immediately came to the front of the sergeants. After thinking for a moment, he immediately said: "The cannon sounded, and everyone dispersed in all directions. They held up torches and pretended to capture the main Tatar camp. When the Tatar army came within a hundred steps, they used fire cannons.
Resist, within fifty steps, all Shu troops will retreat and will not confront them."
After this strategic deployment, there was a sudden roar among the crowd.
"Aren't you...aren't you already full?"
"You did it for a long time and you didn't even pull out the knife, so you just ran away?"
"Now it's time to take advantage of the situation and rush into the camp. We just want to retreat. Why is this kid so blindly giving orders?"
At least in a conventional strategy, the best strategy now is to attack the enemy when they are not prepared, but now they are deliberately waking up the enemy, and what is even more stupid is that they just run away instead of fighting.
Han Xin'er acted as if she hadn't heard anything, still standing at the front of the crowd and watching them quietly.
Soon, the Qianqi Commander couldn't help but ask: "What on earth are we doing here?"
Han Xiner looked at him with a cold light in her eyes: "Do you know what my name is as a soldier?"
Qianqi Commander didn't know what Han Xiner meant: "What is the name of the army?"
Han Xin'er shouted loudly: "In battle, we must win; in action, we must achieve results; in attack, we must capture; in retreat, we must plan."
Before the thousand cavalry commanders had time to react, Han Xiner looked at everyone again.
"If there is no victory in this battle, I will wield my sword to punish you. All you have to do is obey my orders."
Now that this is all said and done, the sergeants look at me and I look at you, and there is nothing more to say.
The army did not move first. Han Xiner took two hundred soldiers of the Shu army and took the lead in sneaking to the flank of the main Tatar camp.
Some people are so talented, and Han Xin'er is a military genius born for war.
As early as when he was traveling, he had made all the calculations. He was sure that when the Tatar soldiers saw two thousand torches and thought they were of equal strength, they would rush out in full force.
It was calculated that it was difficult for the horses to gallop late at night, so these Tatar soldiers would only pursue on foot, and would not cause the Shu army to be unilaterally crushed by the cavalry.
Even more accurate, the whole army attacked, leaving the two tribal kings alone in the camp, helpless.
This is Han Xiner's first battle, and he is bound to get a good start in his future military career.
When chatting with Brother Mu that day, he heard a word that was even better than the best card in the world - the so-called unparalleled national scholar.
He was not interested in things like money, power, and women, but somehow, every time he thought of this word, he always felt like he was breathing heavily.
Invisibly, it brought something that he wanted to pursue even if he spent his whole life.
"What a great... unparalleled national scholar."
As soon as the musket in his hand went off, the sleeping Tatar soldier was instantly killed.
The explosion was so loud that it could be heard almost across the plain.
Before the patrolmen on the other side woke up, Han Xiner hurriedly hid.
With the sound of the cannon, the Shu army in the distance suddenly raised their torches and rushed out from the bottom of the hillside.
Under Han Xiner's arrangement, all nine hundred people were scattered.
So from a distance, it looks like there are more than 2,000 people.
Screams and shouts of killing came from the other side in an instant.
"Kill!"
"Kill the prairie barbarians!"
"..."
As soon as the patrol saw the enemy attack and there were quite a few of them, they immediately blew the warning horn.
"Woo!!!"
Soon, groups of Tatar soldiers came out of the camp.
As Han Xiner expected, even though there were war horses in the camp, not a single soldier rode out to fight.
Soon, thousands of Tatar troops rushed towards the Shu army.
When we reached one hundred steps, we could clearly see that two hundred torches among the Shu army were suddenly extinguished.
After three more breaths, bursts of explosions resounded throughout the plain.
The fire gunners began to attack.
After the elite wave at the front was exhausted, the nine hundred people began to retreat.
To be honest, if there were slightly more troops, Han Xiner would definitely let them engage in a brief confrontation for a few rounds before retreating.
They suddenly retreated without even fighting. Their purpose was too strong. This was a strategic flaw.
However, there are less than 5,000 Shu troops left in total. Brother Mu is actually taking a huge risk by transferring 1,100 troops to himself.
Once there are too many casualties here, no matter how good the terrain is on the Wanlayer Gorge, we may not be able to defend it.
Therefore, Han Xiner must not only ensure that the two tribal kings can be captured alive this time, but also try to control the casualties of the army.
Fortunately, the Tatar army did not have any doubts, and they all climbed over the hillside and continued to pursue the Shu army.
Seeing this scene, Han Xiner smiled faintly and knew that the opportunity to become famous had come.
