Chapter 963: Not enough to eat

"How can you know that military discipline is lax," Kun Sha asked, grasping the point.

"They wanted to humiliate me, cut off my nose and walk around the barracks, but they didn't know that I saw their truest side. Oh, some soldiers are eating and drinking, and some soldiers sleep in broad daylight, and they don't look like a warlike army should be at all. General, as long as you give me 5,000 cavalry, I can make a charge of the battalion to inflict a heavy blow on their fighting spirit, defeat them, and scatter and flee. He Kegen swore an oath.

"Okay, okay." Finally hearing a useful message, Kunsha laughed.

He never believed in how powerful the Han cavalry was, and in his eyes, he would say this first, just because he didn't want to make meritorious contributions, so he scared himself like this. Now that he had seen the facts with his eyes, he trusted his judgment even more. Seeing that it was getting dark, and the day was just over fifteen, and the moon was very bright, he had the idea of stealing the camp.

"I command" in the big tent, a confident Kunsha voice came out.

In the large battalion of the New First Army, Hu Mang and Shebei had already prepared two sets of battle plans, and all officers above the regimental level in the army had been summoned to announce the order.

Finally, there was a big battle to be fought, and all the officers were very excited. Two years have passed since Fan Yuhai was eliminated and the Mobei Mongolian tribes were unified. During this time, they continued to fight and experience, and their hands were already itchy. Now that we finally have the opportunity to show our talents, everyone doesn't want to give up, and everyone takes the initiative to take the responsibility of the main attack.

"30,000 iron horsemen, everyone doesn't have to fight, they all have meat to eat. But the commander of this army said ugly things in the front, if anyone dares to retreat during the war, then the next time when there is a mission, he will only be worthy of being a reserve. Hu Mang's eyes swept over each of the officers attending the meeting, and there was a warning and reminder in his expression.

"Rest assured, commander, this is our chance for the new army to reappear, and we will not disappoint you."

"That's right, if our light cavalry regiment drops the chain and lets them run away, then just take my head as the head of the regiment leader."

"If I can't break the enemy's battle formation with the first charge, I don't want the head of the head of the heavy cavalry regiment."

All the officers spoke one by one, made statements, and even stood up for military orders. Hu Mang nodded excitedly, "Okay, I've written down everything you said, remember that military law is ruthless, if something goes wrong with anyone, whoever is ready to be punished by military law." ”

It's no wonder that Hu Mang is so careful, there has been no big battle for two years, and many of the soldiers who have been replenished in the army have not really seen blood. Although the training has been targeted, the real battlefield and the exercise are completely different things, and any light enemy may cause irreparable losses.

In order to destroy the enemy, the staff officers of the military department worked out two sets of plans. The first is that if the enemy comes to steal the camp at night, they will count it; The second is that if they don't come to steal the camp, they will charge the whole army at dawn, which is the time when the people's defense is at their lowest.

The night came as scheduled, and the moon hung high and shone on the grassland

The army could clearly see far away, and their movements fell intact into the eyes of the cavalry of the reconnaissance regiment.

"Coming, coming, they really went out." After the news of the reconnaissance group was reported to the military headquarters, Hu Mang was a little excited, but when he heard that the other party only had 5,000 cavalry, he couldn't help but show a disappointed look on his face, "It's just that sending such a small number of troops over is not enough to eat." ”

"Hehe, the commander doesn't have to worry, it's clear that they look down on us, even if that's the case, we just need to carry out the second set of combat plans in advance." Shebei seems to understand the opponent's thoughts. Presumably, during the day, he let He Kegen slip around, and the deliberate weakness worked, and even if this is the case, then let them know what kind of evil consequences will be after believing their eyes.

"Well, that's good." Hu Mang nodded heavily, then looked at the messenger and said, "Order the regiment directly under it to stay and attack the incoming enemy, the left flank of the Tatar division will outflank the detour, the right flank of the recruit division will outflank the detour, the light cavalry regiment will go around to the rear of the enemy, the heavy cavalry regiment, the reconnaissance regiment and the military headquarters will attack the enemy from the front after half an hour, and the whole army will attack at the right time, based on two red signal flares." ”

The order was given, and several heralds ordered to be dispatched to convey the advance of the second set of plans. At present, the divisions and regiments that had been prepared on the outskirts of the barracks for a long time left for their destinations, leaving only the regiments directly under them to prepare for ambushing the incoming enemy.

He Kegen had a black scarf wrapped around his face to cover his somewhat frightening face, and rushed straight at the cavalry with five thousand Yili. When he was only a mile away from the main camp of the New First Army, he still couldn't see anyone appearing to stop him, but he saw some soldiers of the Five-Star Army who were in charge of patrolling the night running around, and he couldn't help but show a victor's smile on his face.

Everything was the same as he estimated, the new army was really just a showman, and he never thought that they would dare to attack at night, even if this was the case, then he would kill one to avenge the day. "Give me all charges, it's time to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions"

Holding the saber high, and Kegen laughed, followed the first echelon into the barracks of the new First Army, and then bent slightly, and slashed at the curtain of the first army tent, tearing it open a nearly incision.

It was only that the expected scene of the enemy sleeping or panicking did not appear, and through the campfire in the barracks, I saw an empty tent, not to mention a single figure in it, even a sleeping bunk.

This is clearly an empty military tent, and there is nothing in it, and from this point alone, it is clear that no one has lived in it at all.

One tent was empty, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, but he continued to cut down several military tents in succession, and the reality told him that there was no opponent in every barracks, and there were no objects. At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that this was an empty camp, in other words, he was fooled.

"It's not good, it's an enemy trap, get out quickly." Seeing that his hope was disappointed, a cool breath rose from the soles of his feet, and he Kegen shouted to withdraw his troops.

At this time, it was obviously too late to retreat, because at this moment, countless cavalry suddenly appeared in the dark night around the big tent, each of them holding bows and arrows that had been dyed with fire, and they were directly under the regimental commander

Under Deng Yu's shout, round after round of volleys, a flaming bow and arrow flew through the air and fell into the middle of the five thousand cavalry in Yili Commandery.

The fiery arrows struck the cavalry like meteors, and the soldiers wailed, screamed, howled, fell from their horses, rolled on the ground, or galloped aimlessly, knocking down one of their own companions.

Under the flying rocket, the formation of 5,000 enemy cavalry was chaotic, drowning out the sound of orderly retreat shouted by He Kegen.

Deng Yu, the commander of the regiment directly under the "All-Army Charge", after three arrows in a row, pulled out his saber and shouted with a shout to charge at the encircled enemy cavalry, followed by the sound of thousands of horses galloping in each battalion.

One side is prepared, the other side is flustered; On the one hand, morale is high, and on the other hand, there is no will to fight. This was not a fair battle in the first place, but after a few shocks, the cavalry of the five thousand Yili was killed and wounded, and the overall situation was decided.

In the main military camp of Yili Jiangli, you can vaguely see the flames in the barracks of the New First Army a few miles away, and the deputy general Uliji smiled and reported the good news to the general Kunsha. "General, it seems that he has succeeded with Kegen."

"Haha, General Ben has long said that the Han cavalry is not to be feared." Kunsha laughed, as if all this was in his expectation.

"General, then do we have to do something, why don't I bring a cavalry to support, after all, there are more than 20,000 enemies, even if you capture prisoners, you have to help." Uligi took the opportunity to speak, obviously he didn't want to watch him and Kegen concentrate on the front and snatch all the credit.

This little bit of caution can't hide Kunsha, and if the five thousand cavalry are used well, it is not difficult to capture several times the enemy. It's just that if you are a general, you have to learn to have a bowl of water flat, otherwise, how can you serve the heart of the general below. Nodding, Kun Sha said, "It's okay, General Ben is a little worried about Hekegen, so I will allow you to have five thousand cavalry and go to help." ”

"Thank you, General." Ulligi placed his right hand on his left chest, saluted, and turned to stride away. Kun Sha, who was left behind, was humming a small tune that only he could understand, with a pleasant expression on his face, and at this time his mind couldn't help but begin to fantasize about his great future after making this achievement. I thought of it and said more than once that the five-star army is not easy to mess with, but this time he slapped the other party with practical actions, he wanted to see what else this person had to say this time.

"Huh." Kun Sha, who was invincible, said a sentence that made people laugh at this moment, "I really don't know if I don't fight, it turns out that we are so powerful in the cavalry."

The dream in Kunsha's heart did not last long, and a quarter of an hour later, the figure of Ulliji in the big tent suddenly returned.

"Why haven't you set off yet?" it took a quarter of an hour to get ready, which made Kunsha's face somewhat unhappy. At this speed, I still want to grab the credit

"General, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, I just led the army to set off, and I met the main force of the five-star army, they were all armed with three-meter swords, and they were heavily armoured, we were not their opponents, and we were defeated." With a look of urgency, Ulliji's face showed guilt.
