Song An pursed his lips and nodded: "Young master, don't worry, people are in the city, and people are dead in the city." ”

"Pie", Song An was beaten by the neck.

"The young master is not yet twenty years old, and the city must be ...... You must also live. ”

Song An muttered, "I'm younger than the young master." ”

Turning to Chen Shoujie and his son, Wu Zheng smiled kindly: "The matter of deploying artillery will bother your father and son, and this official has only one request, that is, the artillery must be sounded when it should be sounded." Whatever manpower and material resources you need, you will ask him. ”

Song An had a bitter face, with a aggrieved face.

Early the next morning.

Wu Zheng led the cavalry of Chi Erhan, Li Ruhai, Zhou Dahu and Qian Sudian, a total of 2,800 people, to leave Hangzhou and obey the predetermined ambush point.

In fact, Wu Zheng's courage is really not small.

In addition to the people in the eastern half of the city who were treated well by Wu Zhengbu, there were also people in the western half of the city who had deep grievances.

In addition, there are 10,000 troops who are floating in their hearts.

It's a powder keg that can explode at any moment.

Wu Zhengsheng stuffed this powder keg into Song An's arms, and led the army to leave without asking.

But Wu Zheng has no choice, if he leaves the guards and soldiers and leads the army to fight this battle, it is really not easy.

The slightest mistake will wipe out the entire army.

In the afternoon, the soldiers rushed to Hejiadai and quickly set up defenses.

According to Wu Zheng's request, the soldiers made a lot of construction on the official road.

More than 100 earthen mines were planted, and then the fuse was put in a bamboo tube, covered with earth, and when it was time to detonate, all it had to do was ignite.

This was the gunpowder originally used to load artillery shells, and Wu Zheng didn't even know if it was useful.

But a dead horse is treated as a live horse doctor, and there is nothing to lose by trying.

Of course, Wu Zheng will not rely only on these home-made mines.

To ambush enemy cavalry, tripping is a must.

On the official road, a shallow ditch with a width of an inch and a depth of an inch was dug horizontally.

After the rope is buried, it is covered with earth, and when the Tartar cavalry comes, it is to be easily shaken up.

Fortunately, the woods on both sides of the official road are tight, and it is very easy to ambush thousands of people.

The guards each carried a double-barreled quiver.

This is to maximize the power of arrow suppression, so as to reduce the casualties you will suffer when charging.

Qian Sudian had a cavalry battalion, which was placed by Wu Zheng in Zhoujia Village, a few miles north of Hejiadai.

That is, the ambush position of the cavalry battalion was much earlier.

This is to cooperate with the main force to strike at the chasing Tartars at the same time.

In order to ensure that in a short time, the battle will be resolved and the city of Hangzhou will be retreated.

Wu Zheng, Chi Erhan and others repeatedly calculated the distance and time, and tried to be foolproof.

By midnight, Wu Zheng was already sure that as long as there was no accident, the main force would definitely be able to intercept the Tartars.

What really worries Wu Zheng is Qian Sule's cavalry battalion, these cavalry are still rookies.

In case the Tartars were on guard, it would be a hard collision of eggs against stones.

But Qian Sudian disagreed, he said that the cavalry battalion was by no means as useless as Wu Zheng feared, and the cavalry battalion itself was taken by surprise, so as to be prepared for the unprepared, after the main force of He Jiadai was launched, the attention of the Tartars would be attracted to the front in a short time, and the cavalry battalion would attack the rear of the Tartars at this time, and the battle would definitely be won.

Wu Zheng thought about it and made sense, so he didn't raise any more objections.

But in fact, Wu Zheng also has an account in his heart, no matter whether the cavalry battalion can successfully complete the task of defeating the rear army of the Tartars, its appearance will definitely cause chaos in the rear of the Tartars.

This created favorable conditions for the main force to quickly defeat the forward, and in the estimate, the Tartars pursuing Wang Yilin's division should not exceed three thousand cavalry, as long as this number is around, it is sure that the battle will be ended within an hour.

Wu Zheng made an agreement with Qian Sudian, as long as the sound of explosions on the official road came out, Qian Sudian led the cavalry battalion to charge in the southeast direction, assaulting the rear of the Tartar forward, and after the defeat, he quickly turned to the southwest, attacked the Tartar on the official road, and joined the main force.

……。

After a night of suffering.

The Tartars came as promised.

When Wang Yilin led 3,000 people to gallop, there was only a pillar of incense, and the cavalry of the Tartars appeared on the official road.

Wang Yilin led the infantry, retreated from Jiaxing Mansion and appeared here.

They marched for more than two hours.

I was already tired and miserable.

Fortunately, Wang Yilin set off early, otherwise they would have been caught up by the Tartar cavalry.

At this time, the speed of the Tartar cavalry was very fast.

In the blink of an eye, the striker had crossed the minefield at a distance of ten feet, and saw that he had crashed into the triphorse area behind.

Wu Zheng immediately ordered, "Ignite the fire, shake the rope, and shoot arrows." ”

The blows at the upper, middle and lower levels are triggered at the same time.

The arrows came first, and the stumbling ropes were immediately raised.

The mines finally exploded.

The Tartar cavalry was instantly stunned, and except for those who died on the spot, the living circled in place like headless flies.

The bows and arrows of the guards played an unprecedented role at this time.

Shooting at these shadows shrouded in smoke and dust almost hit the shot.

So much so that after the war, it was found that many of the arrows on the corpses were several arrows, or even more than ten arrows.

Three thousand Tartar cavalry, with eight horsemen in unison and three feet apart, could reach four or five miles in front and behind.

Therefore, the ambush killed only accounted for only 30% of the total number of Tartars.

And this time is enough for the Tartar middle army and the rear army to respond effectively.

Therefore, the casualties of the Ming army began to occur, and they were wounded by the bows and arrows of the Tartar cavalry.

Fortunately, the Ming army was only shooting arrows at this time, and did not charge.

Obscured by trees, the Tartars' archery was unable to perform as well as it should.

The Tartars dismounted and searched both sides for the enemy.

At this time, Qian Sudian led the cavalry of the Ming army to launch an assault on the Tartar rear army.

It's really good luck.

The Tartars were too arrogant, and if they chose to retreat, their losses would probably be set at 30%.

At least, they will never be caught off guard by the rookie cavalry led by Qian Sudian.

However, the Tartars had just taken Jiaxing City and repelled the Zhiren Department of the Prince of Xingguo, and they were overconfident in their own combat strength, believing that even if the vanguard was ambushed and annihilated, they would still be able to defeat this Ming ambush.

They dismounted, and when they dismounted, they lost their mobility.

And Qian Sudian's cavalry, even if their combat power is not as good as the Tartar cavalry, they have mobility in their hands.

Speed is the greatest guarantee of cavalry combat power.

Even if the cavalry did not wield their swords, it was enough to break the enemy's line by galloping on their horses alone.

There can be no doubt about that.

There is no fool who sees the war horse galloping towards him, and he can't stop it with his body.

But as soon as you retreat or flash, you will bump into or affect your colleagues around you.

The retreat and flash of countless people will make the formation chaotic and will not be able to play the effect of the formation.

The collapse of the formation is also natural.
