Chapter 645: The East Wind Has Arrived

"Humph! If you want to make us cheap, you must be prepared to be swallowed by us. Yang Chendong's eyes flashed with wisdom. If the Mongol army had no intention of attacking them, he would not have bothered to target the other party, but even if they had such thoughts, they could only return the favor with their ways. What kind of Mongolian background, this may be able to scare the Jurchens, but it will not be placed in Yang Chendong's eyes at all.

If he is upset, he can also deal a heavy blow to the Mongols, as long as this general wants to deal with him, the mercenaries will naturally not be polite in the slightest. In this regard, Yang Chendong has long been prepared, and two days is enough for him to complete the layout.

The Jurchen cavalry is actively making preparations. It's not that he didn't think that the five-star army would resist, but in his opinion, the Jurchen cavalry is the strongest cavalry in the world, and when it really starts, even the Mongol cavalry will not be their opponents, and this battle will not be defeated no matter what, and once their raid is successful, I am afraid that they will not even need an hour, and the battle will be resolved. The trouble was the 2,500 cavalry under Bagan, and if this man intervened in the middle, it would be a troublesome matter.

Just in case, Pote deliberately left General Huilibu, gave him a thousand cavalry, and asked him to keep an eye on Bagan, once the other party wants to make any moves, he will take action to contain him, although he is not superior in numbers, but he didn't want to hit them hard, as long as he can hold them near the town, and wait for them to completely wipe out the five-star army, Bagen will become honest and acquainted.

Therefore, there were only 3,000 cavalry used to fight the mercenaries, of which Hu Lu was the vanguard, and Xiao Te led the Chinese army. Yang Chendong was not very clear about this point, after all, the scouts sent only learned that the Jurchen cavalry would have a mission, and as for what the specific task was, it was impossible to know until the morning after tomorrow.

But whether it is 3,000 enemies or 4,000 enemies, Yang Chendong will not be afraid, it is just a simple defensive battle, even if it is a combination of Pote and Bagen, he is not afraid.

Time passed little by little, on the surface, the five-star army did not move during the day, and seemed to be waiting for the transaction two days later, but as soon as it was night, the army began to get busy, and the cavalry regiment directly under the regiment led by Ding Shan was also responsible for playing the role of a sentry post, blasting away the Jurchen cavalry who were responsible for finding out the news, and it would not be put back in until after dawn.

This practice did not arouse the suspicion of others, after all, everyone is afraid of being attacked at night, and for the sake of safety and responsibility, it is understandable that the vigilance at night is stricter than during the day. Therefore, the matter was only reported to the Son in a symbolic way, and did not attract anyone's attention in the slightest, and they were completely unaware that a large number of mines had been quietly planted on the frontal battlefield of the mercenary camp.

A considerable number of these mines belong to the later stage after the transformation of the Ordnance Stone of the Red Embedded City, which is called passive detonation mines, also known as passive mines. This kind of mine is not very powerful, but it can be used against cavalry, which can disrupt and deter the morale of the army.

The biggest difference between passive mines and previous mines is that the latter explodes when stepped on, while the former requires a long rope to detonate. This can greatly ensure that the mine will not hurt their own people, this is the emergence of new technology at that time, such as the Ming Dynasty has already appeared mines, they are a kind of gun buried in the ground, people can detonate after stepping on it, the lethality is not much, but it is enough to give people a headache. The emergence of passive mines has indeed greatly improved this technology to ensure that mercenaries can walk in the advance of this era, and with the continuous development of the future, there will also be remote-controlled mines, which will greatly increase the detonation distance, which is really powerful.

It was one thing to take advantage of the night to plant mines, and on the other hand, a cavalry soldier was quietly sent out, left the barracks, and disappeared into the night. It's just that two nights have passed, and the original Wind Chasing Cavalry Regiment, Leng Feng's Third Regiment and the two auxiliary battalions have all left, and only the four auxiliary battalions led by Yang Chendong are really left in the barracks.

For Yang Chendong who only left so few troops by his side, whether it was Chasing Feng or Commander Wusheng, they all expressed their opposition. In this regard, Yang Chendong acted as if he had not heard of it, and just told them to fight the battle according to the plan, especially the three regiments of Wusheng, they were the first time to go to war and gave up the strongest advanced musket, if they could not adapt well, they were afraid that the danger factor on the battlefield would be greatly increased.

It's not that you can't fight with a gun right away, but it will definitely lack enough stability and accuracy, so Yang Chendong's requirement is that unless you are sure, this battle will be better fought with a sabre. Even if it is a cavalry, it should be accustomed to killing the enemy immediately and slashing the enemy with cold weapons.

Under Yang Chendong's insistence, the main force was finally sent out, leaving only four auxiliary battalions, led by Lu Zhuo, the commander of the auxiliary corps.

Lu Zhuo, who was left behind, became nervous and excited after getting up early in the morning of the third day. Seeing all this in Yang Chendong's eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Commander Lu, don't be so nervous, everything is ready, you just need to do it as usual when you were fighting and training before." ”

"Yes, don't be nervous, Sixth Young Master, I'm excited. Thank you for believing in our auxiliaries and putting the responsibility of protecting your safety in the hands of the auxiliaries. "Lu Zhuo is really not nervous, he has also fought dozens of battles, big and small, and the nervousness of the first time on the battlefield will not appear in a veteran like him. But as he said, this meeting was really exciting. Yang Chendong sent all the main forces out, but left four auxiliary battalions at home, isn't this trusting the auxiliary soldiers?

In fact, of course, it is impossible that only four auxiliary battalions are at home, such as the first and second guard squads and the ghost sniper team, all of which stayed by Yang Chendong's side, and these people add up to nearly a hundred. In fact, their strength is far more than several times the combat power of their bodies, and with the existence of these people, Yang Chendong can be said to be safe enough. But Lu Zhuo was willing to think like this, of course he wouldn't correct anything too much.

"Okay, it's good to know that Young Master Ben believes in you, that's it, you should behave well today." Yang Chendong smiled, then looked at Ding Shan, who had been standing beside him for a long time, and said: "Company Commander Ding, the time is almost up, you can also set off, remember, don't be impulsive, there will be no problem if everything goes according to plan." ”

"Yes, Sixth Young Master, my subordinates remember." Ding Shan nodded a little nervously and respectfully. This is the sixth young master, what a proud thing it is to be remembered by him and stand by his side for a while.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

This east wind refers to the arrival of trading time. After receiving the order, Ding Shan took his company with him, rode a war horse out of the camp with 150,000 taels of silver, and rushed ten miles ahead.

At the same time, the Jurchen cavalry in Narcissus Town also began to move, with General Hulu as the vanguard, and Pote leaving the town with 3,000 cavalry for the Chinese army. It was only left that General Hui Libu kept an eye on every move of the Mongol cavalry.

"Bad is leaving, huh! It's really rampant, and I didn't even see a superfluous war horse, and the meaning of wanting to do it was already obvious. After Temur and a few of his own soldiers watched the Jurchen cavalry leave the town, they returned to report in front of Bagan.

"Very well, it seems that our guess is not wrong, even if it is so, we are ready to act, hehe." Bagen smiled, his eyes were shining with excitement at this moment, if this time the matter is done, Narcissus Town will think that he is the first in the future, and the Mongolian cavalry under him will also usher in a big development opportunity.

Temur nodded heavily, turned and began to gather the army. Before, in order to prevent their intentions from being discovered by the Jurchens, they had not even told the cavalry below that there was a combat mission today, and it would take some time to go to the assembly now.

The three thousand cavalry marched out until they were ten miles before the location of the Five-Star Army. It is also the agreed trading place of the two parties, and it is ten miles away from each other's territory, so no one has to worry about who will carry out any ambush.

In fact, neither side had arranged any ambushes in the ten miles of land. Pote was disdainful, as long as his cavalry army charged, what kind of enemy would be their opponent? Yang Chendong had prepared enough back-ups, worried that he would startle the snake, so naturally the ambush was not arranged at the place of the transaction.

So when both sides appear here in the dark, they all look very calm. It's just that when Ding Shan looked forward and saw that General Hu Lu, who had also drunk a bowl of wine with him, didn't even bring a spare war horse in his hand, he couldn't help frowning, "General Hu, I have already brought the silver, what about the war horse we need?" ”

"Hahaha, the war horse is in front of you, what we are riding, how about it, they are all excellent breeds." Hu Lu smiled hesitantly, and said with a somewhat sloppy look.

Hulu's vanguard army was exactly 1,000 horses, which was exactly the 1,000 horses he had traded. Although the number is right, Ding Shan will not believe these words. He asked with a cold face, "General Hu, it's rare that you drink so happily and do things so unreliable, even if you don't have sincerity at all, then wait until you have sincerity." Walk! ”

Ding Shan was very decisive, and with a hundred cavalry, he turned around and left, without the slightest intention of procrastinating, and judging from the fact that they retreated so quickly, it was obvious that this was not a decision just now, but had been prepared for a long time.
