Chapter 639: Attack on the Northern Ming Guard
One of the main training of the scout is to deal with the opponents in the open and in the shadows in the lifeless, such as the defenseless and sparse formation of the Northern Ming soldiers, it is not too easy to complete the task. They were almost one by one, but as long as the Ming army was covered by them from behind, a stream of blood would quickly splash out of their necks, and then there would be eternal darkness in front of them, and they would die completely.
The whole process was very smooth, although the Beiming soldiers still found out at the end, but when there were less than twenty of the two hundred people left, there was no chance to counterattack, and when the scout soldiers flew towards them like tigers one by one, everything was over.
From beginning to end, the two hundred Beiming infantry did not make any loud noise, and did not alarm Zhang Mingzhi and the three hundred cavalry who were under the mountain.
In fact, even if they make a move now, it doesn't matter to the overall situation, Ding Shan and Gao Danhua, who entered the entrance of the village, have already received the signal from the mountain and launched a cavalry attack.
The battalion commander Gao Danhua led the 400 cavalry of his headquarters to attack at high speed; The company commander Ding Shan and his 100 soldiers guarded the entrance of the village, holding long machetes in their hands, and there was a big picture of a man who was a pass, and he didn't open it to prevent any enemy from escaping from here.
The choice of Jiaoshan Pass is precisely because it is easy to enter and difficult to get out, and what prevents them from seeing that the general situation is not good, they suddenly escape. But now, the pit dug for the other party is now really going to jump off by itself.
"Get on your horse, get on your horse, and get ready to meet the enemy." Zhang Zhizhi and Deputy Qianhu saw the sudden cavalry attack on the opposite side, causing the whole land to tremble because of this, at this moment he was really scared, and shouted loudly at the three hundred cavalry in a panic.
The three hundred cavalry from the twin cities never thought that such a thing would happen. They came here to receive war horses, and even if they were going to fight, they had to wait for the cavalry from Jianzhou Left Guard and Mao Lianwei to appear together. What's going on now, reinforcements haven't appeared yet, is this about to start?
The unprepared cavalry of the two cities, on top of Zhang Mingming's shouting, completed the action of hurriedly getting on their horses one by one. And just after doing this, the four hundred cavalry under Gao Danhua's department had already rushed to within a hundred meters of them. This was already the effective killing range of the bow and arrow immediately, and a flurry of arrow feathers rained down on their bodies.
Plop, plop...
I wasn't ready yet, just climbed on the war horse, and dozens of Beiming cavalry were shot by bows and arrows and fell from their horses, and some cavalrymen were lucky, although they were shot by bows and arrows, they were not critical, and they still had the ability to fight. Zhang Mingzhi belongs to the one with the best luck, he was not greeted by the bow and arrow, he knew that the situation was not good, and shouted again, "Bow and arrow counterattack, prepare for bow and arrow counterattack!" ”
With the heart against the unintentional, with the prepared for the unprepared, this cavalry hedge was already doomed from the beginning. Let Zhang Mingzhi go to shout and shout the command, but it is just stubborn resistance.
The distance of 100 meters is only, for the elite cavalry, it is just a blink of an eye to kill in front of them, poor those Beiming cavalry are still taking bows and arrows from the quiver, the opponent killed them so quickly, they didn't have time to draw their swords, and many people were cut down by the cavalry of the cavalry regiment.
Under the protection of more than a dozen soldiers, Zhang Mingzhi was fortunate enough to break out of the battle circle and rushed straight towards the entrance of the village, his goal was very simple, that is, to escape from here, and then converge with the reinforcements from Jianzhou Zuowei and Mao Lianwei, and then turned back and slaughtered Ding Shan and others, and dared to fight their ideas, it was really extremely death-seeking.
Zhang Mingzhi really forgot that he also beat the other party's idea. Even he had long been ready to rob horses and kill people, because he would never allow the news of his robbery and killing people to spread, but now he was returned by his opponent in his own way.
"It's coming! Here it comes! Kill! Seeing Zhang Zhizhi rushing from the village to the entrance of the village with more than a dozen cavalry, Ding Shan, who was guarding here, had a trace of excitement on his face, and then waved his big knife and went directly to meet him.
This kind of broadsword, which is more than two meters long, is also called a chopping knife, which is one of the most commonly used weapons for infantry to deal with cavalry.
Although war horses are very precious, natural human life is more important in times of danger, but it is just a dozen war horses, and if they are cut, they will be cut, and they must not be allowed to escape. The Sixth Young Master has given a strict order, but no one who has seen their enemies can escape.
Brush Brush Brush!
The sound of Qi Qi's knife swing sounded, one after another war horses lost their front hooves and were cut to the ground, Zhang Zhizhi and others, who wanted to escape, had already lost their former morale and combat power, and in the face of Ding Shan and others who had been waiting for a long time, they could only be slaughtered.
As the war horses fell to the ground, a cavalryman named Beiming also fell from his horse, and before they could do any actions such as turning over, a machete with a flashing cold light had fallen on their bodies, cutting their bodies into several pieces.
Zhang Mingzhi was finally unlucky, and he also fell off the horse when the front hooves of the war horse were broken, and then he was greeted by three sharp machetes, and he didn't even have time to ask, who was the opponent? Why is there such a big courage to dare to go against the Beiming army, a good head is separated from the body, he can't die at this moment.
Three hundred cavalrymen were either killed by bows and arrows, or fell on the way of cavalry charges, or died on the way to escape, in short, there was not one left. Gao Danhua and Ding Shan didn't mean to live, but whenever they found that a Ming army was not dead, they would step forward to make up for it, and their movements were fast and accurate, obviously this is not the first time that such a thing has been done.
Fortunately, Zhang Mingming had already ordered that all the people in Jiaoshan Pass could only stay at home, and no one should go out, otherwise they would be killed. Originally, he didn't want people to see him killing people and stealing horses, but now it has fulfilled Ding Shan, Gao Danhua and others, and they don't have to raise their big knives to do anything to the innocent people.
"Clean up the battlefield quickly and get out of here." Gao Danhua gave the order, and Ding Shan and the cavalry began to carry it out. After only half an hour, the Horned Mountain Pass regained its original tranquility, and only the bloody breath was still filled with air, unable to dissipate for a long time. Outside the Jiaoshan Pass, it was also not peaceful at this time, and the three hundred Mao Lianwei cavalry who came from Mao Liancheng were facing a joint attack from the first battalion of the cavalry regiment Deng Yu and the third battalion of Ma Xiongshan.
Mao Lianwei cavalry was unprepared to suddenly meet the enemy, first a burst of cavalry bows and arrows far away, and then a close range of cavalry to kill, with eight hundred against three hundred, plus the saber in the hands of the cavalry regiment is so sharp, occasionally some Beiming cavalry is still about to resist stubbornly, but after a few slashes on the horse, they sadly found that the saber in their hands was broken from the middle because of the quality.
Facing the Mao Lianwei cavalry with a broken knife, no one would be polite, whether it was Deng Yu or Ma Xiongshan's department. Who's to say that the sophistication of weapons is not another powerful hairstyle? Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, a burst of random slashing came, and the three hundred Mao guards were wiped out, and the cavalry regiment only took down a full three hundred horses with one dead and more than ten wounded.
Time was moving forward for two hours, and among the three battles, the first to do it was the main force of the mercenary army led by Yang Chendong.
As the opponent, the Jianzhou Left Guard cavalry came with two thousand this time, and it looked like a long dragon from a distance, and once it appeared, it would cause bursts of ground trembling sounds, giving people a sense of the immensity of thousands of troops.
Because it was the farthest away from Jiaoshan Pass, the cavalry of the left guard of Jianzhou was also the earliest, and as soon as the day dawned, they set out from the city, and when they arrived in the Shishan area, it was about nine o'clock in the morning.
In contrast, Yang Chendong's troops came earlier, they had already arrived here yesterday, and had chosen the best battlefield, relying on the fact that there were at most stones near the stone mountain, they chose a road between the two mountains as an ambush site early.
It is said that it is a mountain, but it is far from the height of a real mountain, but it is only about 20 meters high, and it is all bare, which shows the essence of a rocky mountain.
But the height of twenty meters has already made Yang Chendong very satisfied. He first arranged for the soldiers to place piles of stones at the exit between the two mountains to block the place, so as to ensure that the opponent could only be a turtle in the urn after entering the place, and then began to arrange the specific location and task of the ambush for each regiment and battalion.
Chen Bo, political commissar of the 2nd Regiment and commander of the 2nd Battalion, was responsible for the attack on the left side of the mountain; The third battalion, Changchun Yang, was responsible for the attack on the right side of the mountain; Wu Sheng, the regiment commander and commander of the first battalion, was responsible for blocking the enemy's retreat, and each battalion carried two auxiliary battalions at the same time to ensure the smooth completion of the mission.
In this battle, except for Yang Chendong himself riding a white dragon horse, there was no second war horse with him. But in the face of an enemy of 2,000 cavalry, he was still full of confidence.
This is an ambush battle, and the strength of the opponent is nearly twice that of the opponent, and the equipment is still advanced muskets, so I really can't see the slightest possibility of defeat, and now I just wait for the enemy to appear on time.
Also thinking the same as Yang Chendong was Liang Xuan, the commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard.
With 2,000 cavalry in person, this force is completely in the vicinity, which is equivalent to a sideways existence. Even if they don't make trouble for anyone, even if they are lucky, where would anyone dare to attack his idea? Besides, with the combat power and speed of 2,000 cavalry, even if you encounter an enemy, you can completely go on a rampage, and you don't have to think about it or worry about anything.
