After Li Yuchun and his group of thousands of cavalry left Zhujiazhuang, they were not discovered. In other words, the Ming army outside deliberately pretended not to see it. This made Li Yuchun even more proud and arrogant. He kept talking to Yan Wogong about the fake admiral Zhu Wu being a dandy.
Wang Zhiren, Wang Chaoxian, Zhang Mingzhen and others who claim to be able to fight are nothing more than this.
They walked in the dark for a long time, and Zhujiazhuang was far behind, several miles apart, and disappeared under the night.
Qishiha kept cursing. He hated the terrain of the Jiangnan water town. It looked like a flat plain, but when you ride a horse in it, you will understand how annoying this place is. There are rivers, ditches, ponds and lakes everywhere. Some places can be crossed directly.
But some places have to take detours, which makes the originally not far journey add a lot of detours, especially it is still the middle of the night, and we have to avoid disturbing others, so we have to explore the fields by starlight.
From time to time, horses' hooves got stuck in the mud or stepped into mud pits. Even the Eight Banners warriors with excellent riding skills fell off their horses because of this. Before they encountered the enemy, more than a dozen people were injured on the road.
In the end, there were a few places where he had to wade through water, which made Jishha wet all over. There were many mosquitoes at night, which made him very annoyed.
"How damn far is it?"
"Didn't you say it's only about ten miles?"
"Why do I feel like I've been wandering around for half the night?"
Li Yuchun was summoned and scolded. He quickly explained to this 'subordinate' Guerrilla and said he would be there soon.
Just as he was talking, suddenly there was a sound of strings in the dark night.
"Enemy attack!"
"There's an ambush!"
As soon as Jishiha heard the sound of the strings, he immediately shouted alertly, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked around, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark night. He only heard the sound of bowstrings in the wind, ringing in all directions.
Then came the screams.
Someone was already screaming in agony after being hit by an arrow.
In the dark night, I didn't know how many soldiers were ambushed on all sides. Jishha was furious, "This man is a fake spy. He deliberately led us into an ambush. We will capture and kill the thief!"
While dismounting and leaning on his horse to guard against stray arrows, Yan Wogong argued loudly, "Master Manzhou has misunderstood the students. This is the only road from Zhujiazhuang to Majiawan. Zhu Wu is the false admiral of the Ming Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of the entire army.
The closer we get to their camp, the more soldiers and horses there will naturally be. If we are not careful enough, it is normal for us to be discovered by their sentinels. The students are loyal and by no means spies. Please be aware of this."
Li Yuchun felt that Mr. Yan was very compatible with him today, especially since the two had a very good chat along the way. At this time, he was even more convinced that Mr. Yan was his Mr. Wolong, and he immediately defended him.
"Mr. Yan came to surrender on his own initiative. He also brought the troops and plans of the fake thieves. He also ignored the dangers and acted as a guide himself. How could he be a spy?"
Jishika was very angry. He heard the sound of bowstrings from all directions, and screamed from his own side, "Light the torch and kill them."
Since the whereabouts have been revealed, there is no need to cover it up!
not far away.
Zhang Mingbin, who was in the Zuoying Camp of Zhenbiao, looked at the torches lighting up one after another in the darkness not far away, and a group of people and horses were gradually emerging, and he couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile on his lips.
"These idiots, if you light the fire now, won't it make it easier for us to aim and shoot?"
The enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, which makes it easier for the archers to release arrows.
The torches were lit one after another, and Jishiha angrily ordered Li Yuchun to lead his light cavalry to rush over and crush those who were firing cold arrows.
Li Yuchun was also very angry.
He got on his horse, shouted orders again and again, and rushed over with the cavalry himself.
Zhang Mingbin saw the enemy cavalry meandering towards him like a fire dragon holding a torch, he just sneered twice and said, "Retreat!"
After saying that, the leader turned around and left. Behind him was a reed swamp. There were many small boats parked there, waiting for help. Zhang Mingbin and his people quickly retreated to the boat, and then drove the boat into the reeds.
Li Yuchun and others rode their horses to the water's edge, but no one was seen, only arrow feathers shot out from the reeds.
"Set up rockets and burn these rats inside."
He put on a rocket and shot it into the reeds, but when Zhang Mingbin and others saw this, they had already paddled away.
Li Yuchun looked at the lit reeds and the boats fading away in the light of the fire, and could only curse and return angrily.
After counting the people and horses, it turned out that a dozen people were shot and killed in a sneak attack, dozens more were injured, and a few unlucky ones fell off their horses and were trampled to death by horses.
Qishiha was furious and rushed towards Zhuwu's camp at Mayao Lake.
Now that the whereabouts have been revealed, let's attack by force.
The remaining nearly a thousand cavalrymen sped up and ran towards Ma Yao Lake holding torches. With the torches lighting up, their speed became much faster.
But in this way, it is very eye-catching.
Not long after running forward, countless hidden arrows struck at a waterside, shooting down several people.
Li Yuchun led his troops to turn around and kill, but the opponent did not fight hard. After shooting a few arrows, he turned around and ran away. Just like before, he escaped directly by boat on the water.
The cavalry could only look at the water and sigh.
At this time, Mr. Yan kindly reminded Li Yuchun, "The fake thieves must be using this opportunity to delay our army and give Zhu Wu time to escape. We cannot be fooled. Please ignore these little thieves and rush directly to the fake admiral."
Daying, don’t let him escape.”
Li Yuchun came to his senses, "Oh, I'm so pissed off by these guys that I almost let the big fish run away. Give me the order to go down. If you encounter these little thieves sneak attack on the way, ignore them and run straight to the pseudo-admiral's camp. Don't let him escape."
Already."
The cavalrymen held torches and speeded up regardless.
Zhang Mingbin was also rushing back, but he was walking on the water by boat. Soldiers were carried on boats and even rafts. Along the water network extending in all directions, they were no slower than the cavalry. They could even take shortcuts, which was faster.
"These Tatar traitors react very quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bridge that the Tatars were crossing suddenly exploded. Amidst a burst of fire and loud noise, the stone bridge over the small river was blown into the sky, and a dozen riders on the bridge followed suit.
Horses neighed and people howled, and blood and flesh splattered all over the sky.
The sound was as loud as thunder, and everyone panicked.
Li Yuchun's horses stood upright.
In the light of the fire, a small boat rowed away quickly from under the broken bridge. It was Ye Bushou who had just detonated the explosives.
Just hit and go.
The river was not wide, but without the stone bridge it was very inconvenient. Seeing the men and horses being cut in half, Jishiha gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
But soon the sound of drums came, and many boats and wooden rafts rushed out from both sides of the river at the same time. They were full of soldiers. They rowed hard to the vicinity of the captives and used bows, arrows and firecrackers to shoot at the traitors on both sides of the river.
Even the angry man picked up his bow and kept firing arrows.
Both sides shoot back and forth.
Jishiha fired several arrows in succession, shooting down several Ming soldiers on the boat. Just as he felt relieved, he saw a flash of fire on a larger boat, followed by a roar.
There was actually a cannon fire on the ship.
After the first cannon fired, several more cannons on the ship followed suit.
These cannons are also small cannons such as small Fran machines, tiger crouching or even lifting guns. However, although the cannons are small, they are mounted on the boat in the river at this time. They are very close to the enemy cavalry on both sides. Both sides are shooting at each other.
Neither the traitors nor the traitors expected that these Ming army ships actually had cannons.
Suddenly, there were several continuous boom-boom-boom sounds, and countless lead bullets and nails were blasted into it.
The very dense formation doubled the lethality.
Amid bursts of screams, scores of people fell down.
It actually produced a more powerful killing effect than the red cannon.
On a boat, Ruan Jin wiped the sweat from his face and shouted excitedly, "Come again!"
A moment later, countless cannons were fired again, followed by screams.
Although the Tatars were very good at archery, they were stunned at this moment. No matter how powerful their bows and arrows were, they were not as good as these guns and cannons. The sound alone was scary enough.
The Tatar horses screamed in fright.
Jishiha shook his head, allowing his shaking head to recover a little. Seeing more and more ships coming from both sides, he had no choice but to raise his voice and shout, "Get out!"
Qishiha took the lead in riding a horse to avoid this place and retreated three houses.
Looking at the warship still spitting fire, Jishha ordered to go around it.
After this ambush, the thousands of men and horses were divided into two, with half crossing the bridge and the other half still here. Now they can only fight on their own, find their own way, and continue to rush to Zhuwu's camp by Mayao Lake.
Zhang Mingbin jumped on Ruan Jin's boat.
"I never thought that the South China Sea dragon could still make waves when it arrived in this small river ditch in Jiaxing."
Ruan Jin took out two betel nuts, threw one into his mouth, and threw the other to Zhang Mingbin, "Tatar reacts very quickly."
"It's okay, let's rush to the next intersection and continue fucking him."
······
Li Yuchun and Yan Wogong led hundreds of cavalry to clear the way for the Manchurians. After the bridge was blown up, they separated from Jishha.
Li Yuchun, whose eyes were almost burning with anger, gritted his teeth and cursed the Ming army for their shamelessness. If he wanted to fight, he would fight openly and openly. Along the way, he made secret calculations and planted explosives to blow up bridges.
"Did the Ming thief expect us to come?" Li Yuchun was a little doubtful.
Yan Woggong was lying on the saddle panting, "It's absolutely impossible. If they really expected that we would come, I'm afraid more ambushes would have been ambushed. But looking at the situation just now, they just heard the warning and hurriedly
I just came to stop them."
"What to do now? The night attack is exposed, should we withdraw or continue?"
Yan Wogong said without hesitation, "The students thought that since the sneak attack failed, it is better to withdraw to Zhujiazhuang and look for another opportunity."
"But how can we return without success?"
If Lord Yan had insisted on persuading him to continue the attack on the camp, then Li Yuchun would have suspected whether this person was a spy sent by the fake admiral of the Ming Dynasty. But now that he did not hesitate to persuade him to retreat and collect his troops, Li Yuchun no longer doubted it.
He even began to analyze, "Those fake thieves are so tenacious in blocking, doesn't it mean that the fake admiral Zhu Wuguo is on the shore of Mayao Lake? Then this means that our plan is right. The stick hit them seven inches, so they
That’s why we were so scared and came so desperately to stop the attack, then we have to continue our attack.”
"This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it."
"But the army must not underestimate the enemy. Now that the Manchurian soldiers have been dispersed, our five hundred light cavalry will not be able to reach us. Our whereabouts have been leaked. If we cannot attack by force instead of a sneak attack, we may not be able to win." Yan Igong hurriedly continued to persuade.
"Jishiha will not give up easily. Look at the fire over there. Aren't they continuing to go to Mayao Lake? Let's just run to the Mayao Lake camp. We will naturally meet up with Jishiha there."
"Military, please think twice. Our whereabouts have been exposed and there is no chance. It is better to withdraw our troops for the time being and look for another opportunity."
Li Yuchun shook his head, "On the battlefield, fighter opportunities are changing rapidly. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed. You are not a general. You don't know that at times like this, you cannot retreat. You must hold your breath and work hard."
