With the mountain in its back, you can block the cold wind of the winter in the Northeast, and such a place is suitable for the locals to live, and slowly form a village with hundreds of households. The surrounding fields have also been appropriately developed. And there is another characteristic of such a place, that is, it is very suitable for ambushes.

On one side of the Horn Pass is a mountain and a dense forest, imagine what it would be like if an ambush army were laid there. If you are condescending, you may be able to gain momentum. There is a village at the foot of the mountain, and you only need to block the intersection out of the pass, so won't as many people who enter here as you come will be caught?

Even if Zhang Mingzhi chose the trading location here, he must have a plan. I'm afraid that he has already arranged eyeliner in this Jiaoshan Pass village, that is to say, the other party is completely in the lead, if Ding Shan dares to play any tricks, it will definitely not escape his eyes.

"How many enemies do the Twin City Guards have, and how many troops are they likely to send?" Yang Chendong only thought about it a little in his mind, and then asked the commander of the cavalry regiment who was standing aside.

Chasing the wind and thinking about it, he quickly gave a general answer. "Back to the Sixth Young Master, there is only one thousand households stationed there in the Shuangcheng Guard, but there are only more than a thousand people. Even if they want to swallow this war horse, then they can't show the news, and they won't send too many people, it is estimated that in addition to the original three hundred horsemen, they will send another two hundred infantry at most, half of the troops. ”

This is not a speculation of chasing the wind, but the result of countless experiences. There are often other alien races in this area, and the nearby cities of Beiming are often half of the troops, after all, there are a large number of people and their own things in the city, so they can't lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds, they are also afraid of the opponent's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and there is not even a nest when they turn back.

"Half the troops? Hehe, easy to do. After hearing this, Yang Chendong naturally showed a confident smile on his face. A plan slowly took shape in his mind. About a quarter of an hour later, he looked at the sand table again and again, and began to arrange the combat mission. "Battalion Commander Gao Danhua, you and Company Commander Ding Shan and Company Commander Xu Yunsheng are responsible for solving the Northern Ming army in Jiaoshan Pass, remember, killing the enemy is a must, and taking down their war horses is your main goal, of course, you can't let go of a single person, and the rumors are revealed; Battalion Commander Deng Yu and Battalion Commander Ma Xiongshan, your two cavalry battalions are responsible for solving the enemy of Mao Lianwei who may come to help, if nothing else, it is inevitable that they will send 300 cavalry, and they must leave their war horses; The rest of the people ambushed the main cavalry of the Jianzhou Left Guard in the Shishan area together with Young Master Ben, everyone familiarized themselves with their tasks and terrain as soon as possible, and if they didn't understand, they could come to Young Master Ben at any time to ask, and then make preparations and set off a day later. ”

With superior troops, sophisticated equipment, and the suddenness of the attack, Yang Chendong was 100% sure of inflicting heavy losses on the Northern Ming cavalry, and now the key question was how many war horses could be left. With his order, the regiments, battalions, and companies began to rapidly carry out pre-war mobilization and division of labor arrangements.

And just a day later, except for a company of auxiliaries left here to guard the supplies, all the other soldiers went out, each heading towards their goal. At the same time, a war horse in charge of communications also entered the guard of the left guard of Jianzhou.

The commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard is named Chen Dula, who is a brave general, and the only senior general in the guard who does not rely on hereditary inheritance, and has the official position of the third rank of the Northern Ming Dynasty.

After Zhang Mingzhi and Ding Shan separated, they went to the military camp to find Qianhu He Ying, and after some discussion, the two felt that with their own strength, four hundred war horses could not be eaten in any case, so they immediately decided to report to the above, and asked the superior Jianzhou Zuowei and the neighboring city Mao Lianwei to send troops to help. As a benefit, there were 400 war horses, 150 of the Shuangcheng Guard, 50 of the Mao Lianwei, and 200 of the Jianzhou Zuowei.

There is no way, Jianzhou Zuowei is a guard, and the strength is too great, so if you ask them to help, you must give enough benefits, although they are all a family. But the brother still has to settle the account, right? As for Mao Lianwei, they just sent troops to cooperate, and they could get fifty war horses for nothing, no matter how you look at it, they have earned it.

In the left guard of Jianzhou, the commander who got the news called Chen Dula, and called his commander Liang Xuan (from Sanpin) and commander Tang Longtian (Zheng Sipin) to discuss how to cooperate with Shuangchengwei to eat these 400 war horses.

"It's a piece of fat, hehe." Tang Longtian, who got the news, pinched a pair of calloused hands and laughed.

"This Shuangcheng Guard also knows each other and gives us half of the benefits, even so, General Ben will make a move, and I will take two thousand cavalry on a trip when I turn around, hehe, what is not to be captured." Commander Liang Xuan spoke, with an unstoppable expression on his face.

Liang Xuan inherited the position of commander by virtue of his ancestors, in fact, the Liang family is also a wealthy family in the entire Northern Ming Dynasty, and ordinary people naturally do not put it in his eyes. This made him naturally have a sense of arrogance, even in the entire Jianzhou Left Guard, except for the commander Chen Dula, there is no second person who can let him look at it like that. Under the arrogance, he has a strong background in the Liang family, so that no one can stop him from doing anything here.

Even if it is Chen Dula, who is half a rank high, but because of the background of the Tang family, as long as Liang Xuan's things are not excessive, he will pass with a blind eye.

You can get two hundred war horses at one shot, which is definitely a big credit, needless to say, Liang Xuan is about to make a move because of this military achievement, what else can Chen Dula say? He didn't think that there was anything in the vicinity that could stop his 2,000 cavalry. Oh! There is a team under the banner of the five-star army, which is quite powerful, with more than 1,000 people, but the two sides have never had any direct dealings, and the other party seems to have a very kind attitude towards Beiming, so there is no need to consider their threat.

Besides, how could more than a thousand cavalry be the opponent of his own two thousand elite cavalry? Even if there is no danger, it will be tossed with Liang Xuan.

Chen Dula left his hands alone, and Liang Xuan naturally became the one who took the idea, he called Hu Zhi, the envoy of Wei Zhenfu from the fifth rank, and asked him to gather two thousand cavalry, and go with him to carry out military affairs early the day after tomorrow.

The matter was settled in this way, and from beginning to end, no one asked about the origin of these four hundred war horses, and I have to say that their nerves were indeed big. Perhaps the Northern Ming army has ruled here for many years, and they have become accustomed to the feeling that everything is under control.

The cavalry of the Jianzhou Left Guard decided to set off early in the morning of the third day, because the time of the transaction was set at noon that day, as long as the speed was fast enough, it was naturally in time. It's just that Yang Chendong did set the time of departure on the morning of the previous day, which was nearly a day more time to prepare, and with this, the Northern Ming army had no reason to be undefeated. Many people say that opportunities are for those who are prepared, but you are not only weak, but also have insufficient preparation and preparation time, so how can you say that you are undefeated?

Horn Mountain Pass, on the morning of the third day of the scheduled day, suddenly became lively. Originally, there were only 100 villages in a small area, and the atmosphere was a little tense because of the sudden crowding in of 300 Beiming cavalry.

The three hundred cavalry were personally led by Zhang Mingming, the deputy Qianhu. He didn't mean to hide it, after all, this time he had to trade four hundred war horses, if the number of people was small, how could he bring these war horses back? He believed that seeing this formation, even Ding Shan would not be able to say anything.

Of course, there were only three hundred cavalry on the surface, but in secret, on the back hill of the Horn Mountain Pass, there were two hundred infantry in ambush. If it weren't for the safety of Shuangchengwei, I'm afraid that He Ying would have made a trip in person.

300 cavalry, secretly there are 200 infantry, which makes Zhang Zhizhi full of confidence, plus the 300 cavalry of Mao Lianwei and the 2,000 cavalry of Jianzhou Left Guard, which will appear successively after getting the news, which makes him feel at ease, thinking that everything is under control, and now he is just waiting for Ding Shan, the seller, to appear.

The appointed time is noon. When the smoke began to rise slowly from the chimneys of the small village of Horn Mountain Pass, a huge horse team drove at the gate of the village.

The horse team is composed of 400 war horses, each of which has a knight, and not only that, but there are more than 100 people accompanying them on the left and right, which seems to be a huge team.

"It's coming!" Zhang Mingzhi noticed this horse team at the first time, and a trace of evil smile and treacherous appearance appeared on his face. This Ding Shan really didn't break his promise, and really brought a team of four hundred war horses and horses, this person is really stupid, he dares to believe in himself like this.

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhi had already regarded Ding Shan and this horse team as fat in the bowl, although there were still four hundred cavalry and one hundred men who appeared with the horse team, but they had been automatically ignored by him. What kind of place is this, but the slave of the Northern Ming Dynasty, does anyone dare to be the enemy of the Ming army in this place?

Under the preconceived notion of the official position, he didn't think that anyone dared to make them enemies, it would be unfavorable to him, all the crises were not put in his eyes, and all he saw was left with benefits and opportunities.

At the moment when the commander of the Dingshan Company and the commander of the second battalion of the cavalry regiment, Gao Danhua, entered the village with 500 cavalry and 400 war horses, a massacre was entering the back mountain of Jiaoshan Pass.

The target of the slaughter was the two hundred Northern Ming infantry sent from Shuangcheng, and the slaughterer was a hundred soldiers under his command led by Xu Yunsheng, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion.

With 100 elite reconnaissance battalion soldiers, against the 200 Beiming infantry whose combat strength is only about the third class, and it is a secret raid, there is no problem with the chance of victory. In the silence, one after another Beiming soldiers hiding in the forest were killed, and even many soldiers did not make other sounds before they died, and they didn't even know who did it at the moment of death, and what the murderer looked like.
