In November of Dasanguan, the autumn wind was howling, and the Jialing River was much calmer. The floating leaves followed the mountain wind and went directly to the east.
Tens of thousands of intruders were stationed along the valley, layer upon layer, accompanied by the mountains and forests, as far as the eye could see, which was extremely shocking.
The mountains, forests and valleys in winter are not afraid of fire, but the humid weather makes it easier for soldiers to get sick.
Early in the morning, around Mo Yin time.
At the top of the wall of Dashan Pass, rope ladders several feet long were slowly lowered.
Immediately, the ant-like soldiers carefully descended along the rope ladder. In a short time, three thousand soldiers and horses gathered under the city.
"General, I have everything under my control, don't worry!"
Chen Yongfu looked at General Xiao Zhu who was full of hesitation and couldn't help but said in a deep voice.
For him, this raid was just a battle to win a name, and there was no room for failure, otherwise there would be no place for him in Hanzhong.
Zhu Yixi looked at his confident face and couldn't help but said: "In the army, I am most reassured. Now, I am afraid that only Mr. Chen is the one."
He raised his eyes again and gave serious instructions: "Be careful, you must wait until the smoke is ignited in Bai Guangen's army before taking action. I will wait here for your victorious return."
As he said that, he looked at the tall and burly Yan Guochao and couldn't help but said: "The grenadiers must obey General Chen's orders without any delay."
"As you command!"
Yan Guochao is covered in armor, wearing horns on his head, with ghosts painted on his face, and carrying a giant axe. He looks like a ghost soldier from hell, which is extremely scary.
The five hundred men behind him all looked like this, and combined with the vague mist, they looked particularly terrifying.
This is Zhu Yixi's masterpiece over the past few days - the heavily armored Ghost Ax Soldier.
Each of them is tall and equipped with heavy armor, like a humanoid tank, and is most suitable for surprise attacks.
The remaining two thousand or so people are supporting troops and have been recharging their strength for a long time.
"Crash-"
Everyone followed the guide's guidance and slowly disappeared from sight.
"Sect Master, is Chen Yongfu reliable?"
Zhu Meng couldn't help but ask.
"So what if it's unreliable? I can't do it myself, right?"
Zhu Yixi said attentively: "That's how employment is. If you doubt someone, don't use it. If you employ someone, don't doubt it. At present, he is the only one who can entrust me with important responsibilities."
If it were to deal with other people, Zhu Yixi would have to think about it, but to deal with Chuang Jun, Chen Yongfu was perfect.
How could Li Zicheng survive after being shot out of one eye?
And here, the left corner of Bai Guangen's military camp.
Three thousand Yulin elite soldiers, including generals such as You Shiwei, You Shigong, You Shilu, Liu Tingjie, Shi Qin, Wang Shiguo, Hou Shilu, and Hou Gongji, gathered together and waited anxiously.
Liu Tingjie, who joined the army, couldn't help but ask: "Is this Bai Guangen really reliable? Will he report secrets?"
"Probably not."
You Shiwei said solemnly: "Nominally, we are his subordinates. If it is leaked, he will not get a good harvest, and the trespassers will also lose their status."
"Second brother, is Zhu Yixi really reliable?" The eldest brother You Shigong couldn't help but ask.
The other generals also raised their heads, their eyes full of exploration.
“Had to choose!”
You Shiwei sighed: "Yulin has been conquered and Ningxia has been destroyed. We can't go to Lintao and Gansu, right?"
"Moreover, the Chuang army has already started building ships and is preparing to enter Shanxi. When the time comes, they will be trapped by the army and will not be able to escape."
"Bai Guangen should not have been trusted in the first place." Liu Tingjie said irritably: "I can still recruit some Tatars from Hetao. When the time comes, I will fight to the death and break a few of the thieves' teeth."
"I heard that Zhu Yixi also killed Li Guo, so he should be quite capable."
The third brother, You Shilu, chuckled and said, "As long as you can escape from the Chu army."
"That's right, we feel sick when we think about the little postman riding on our heads."
"We have been loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty for generations, inherited from our ancestors."
You Shiwei said carelessly, looking at everyone: "Tonight is a rare opportunity, everyone should be prepared, don't waste it."
Suddenly, a soldier ran over and said, "General, there are fireworks in the sky."
"Here we come!" You Shiwei was overjoyed and hurriedly left the camp. Sure enough, the fireworks were still being set off.
"Light the fire, burn the camp, this broken army, we will surrender to the imperial court anyway——"
"Anyway, anyway--"
The generals rejoiced and cheered.
Immediately, the fire ignited and soon turned into a sea of flames.
Bai Guangen's department also quickly discovered this situation.
"Quickly put out the fire!"
Bai Guangen calmly ordered: "Don't worry about other people, put out the fire before talking."
"In addition, we sent people to ask for reinforcements. We were attacked by a large force and could no longer withstand it."
He walked out of the military tent again, looked at the left side where the fire continued, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's just a stubborn stone, that's all. It's just a pity for those thousands of elite soldiers."
Not far away, Chen Yongfu, who was waiting and waiting half way, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw it.
He said hurriedly: "The plan is completed, go and send someone to pick them up quickly."
Immediately, he ordered: "Prepare to ambush and break into the camp. Today, let's make the intruders realize how powerful the Ming soldiers are."
Soon, thousands of Yulin soldiers came out of the camp and saw hundreds of people responding to them, as well as a large number of red cloth belts.
"There is a red belt here. Tie your arm on your arm. Our army has ambushed enemy reinforcements. You should hurry up!"
The responding soldiers said hurriedly.
"Okay." You Shiwei frowned and immediately agreed.
Soon, You Shiwei and others took advantage of the mist and headed towards Mako's camp.
At this time, the fire was discovered.
"what happened?"
Ma Ke was awakened by the fire in Bai Guangen's army. He quickly looked up and saw that the fire in the fog was particularly conspicuous.
"The entire army is on alert, fearing an enemy attack."
"Report, General, General Bai sent someone to ask for help, saying that the enemy suddenly attacked us and they can no longer hold on!"
"Trash." Ma Ke couldn't help scolding: "This guy named Bai is not worthy of being from Yulin. He has simply insulted the reputation of our Yulin."
He hesitated for a while. He didn't want to rescue him, but after all, he belonged to his subordinates and would not be able to account for him in the future.
Furthermore, if Bai Guangen could no longer hold on and attacked the city in the future, no one would die on his behalf.
"Assemble all the ten thousand people and follow me to rescue that waste. The remaining troops are ready in formation."
Soon, 10,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized, and the army filed out and headed for Bai Guangen's military camp several miles away.
Since the two armies were incompatible and the valley was too narrow, it was natural to divide them into camps.
After a while, halfway through, Ma Ke was riding a horse and felt something was not right.
"Why is there only firelight but no sound of fighting?"
"Rumble--"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a large number of things being thrown out of the woods on one side of the valley.
Before he could react, there were bursts of rumbling sounds in his ears and a strong smell of gunpowder in his nose.
In just an instant, hundreds of people were killed or injured, and the long queue instantly became panicked.
"There is an ambush, prepare to meet the enemy——"
Ma Ke survived and was thrown a few feet by the frightened horse. After reacting, he roared and the army recovered a little.
