Chapter 1093: Fierce Battle (Seventy-Three)
Seeing that the flames in the camp of the Tatar army were gradually extinguished, Chen Qing also felt that the Tatar army would not attack tonight like the extinguished flames.
"Hey! You're here to attack, aren't you? Chen Qing said helplessly. Then he climbed down the lookout. In fact, it is not high, only two people are tall, but in this flat land, it can already be seen far away.
It was good to go down to the ground and meet the arrival of the lieutenant general who had made the arrangements and deployment.
Chen Qing immediately asked, "It's all arranged?" ”
The lieutenant general nodded and said, "Well, more than 20,000 soldiers have stood up and are ready to fight." ”
Chen Qing sighed and said quietly: "It seems that the Tatar army will not attack tonight." ”
Listening to Chen Qing's words, the lieutenant general looked in the direction of the third-grade camp and said, "General, the fire in the camp of the Tatar army seems to have been extinguished. Only the illuminated brazier remained. ”
Chen Qing nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I said that the Tatar army will not attack tonight." ”
The lieutenant general said, "Then I let the soldiers continue to rest?" ”
Chen Qing said: "Let's rest, but let the soldiers sleep in armor, if the war is together, it is good to respond to the battle in time." ”
The lieutenant nodded and said, "Then the general will let the soldiers rest in place." ”
"Okay, you can go!" Chen Qing nodded and said. Then he took the two guards and went to his tent.
Back in the big tent, Chen Qing fell asleep. From his own experience, he knew that the Tatars would not attack tonight. Even if it's an attack, then your side is ready. There are no mistakes. You'll be able to sleep peacefully.
Sure enough, after Chen Qing woke up the next day, there was no movement at all last night. He ate some breakfast hastily, and before waiting for the future, he had already gone to the lookout. Look at the Tatar camp two miles away.
Some black lines were visible in the thin mist. If you look closely, it looks like a dense crowd. Seeing this, the concubine couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, but he immediately smiled. for he had come to the attack of the Tatar army, which he had been thinking about.
"Give the order immediately, and let the soldiers and horses on both wings prepare to encircle." Chen Qing shouted loudly.
A small soldier beside him immediately obeyed the call.
At this time, the lieutenant also came. Chen Qinggong said to him: "General, what's the trend?" ”
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Look. As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of the Tarnu camp.
The lieutenant looked over and immediately said in surprise: "Isn't this the Tatar army coming to attack?" ”
Chen Qing nodded and said, "That's right, it must be." I think the spies will come in a moment. You go first and get the soldiers ready in formation. The artillery in front was also ready. ”
"Yes, General." The lieutenant arched his hand and said, and then ran to make arrangements.
Sure enough, as soon as the lieutenant left, he said that he had come to report, and said to his concubine: "Report to the general, the Tatar army has set out to attack us." ”
"How many troops do they have?" Chen Cheng asked.
"It's a lot, I don't know the specifics, but it's 30,000 to 50,000 people!" The spy said.
The concubine nodded and said, "Okay, you go to explore again." ”
"It's the general!" The spy arched his hand and turned around and ran.
The concubine looked at the Tatar army approaching in the mist, and her mood was naturally happy, so to speak, he was already a little impatient waiting for the Tatar army here. Today can be regarded as seeing the Tatar army attacking.
The ambush circle is downsized, but it is still available. If the Tatar army comes in a moment, we will surely win a great victory.
After all, it is their own army that is waiting for work, and the trap has long been prepared. Just waiting for the Tatar army to come and jump.
Chen Qing's strategy was that the Tatar army came in to attack, and then the right flank was diagonally inserted, and the left flank was copied. Coupled with the two-sided attack of nearly 20,000 people on both sides, these tens of thousands of Tatar troops will be surrounded. When the time comes, the artillery will take turns to fight, and it will definitely be the total annihilation of the Tatar army.
Chen Qing returned to the big tent, stepped on his waist knife, put on his armor, and prepared to fight. Then he went out of the big tent, went up to the lookout, sat in front of the formation, and personally commanded the Tarnon army that came to besiege him.
At this time, the deputy general was also arranged, climbed up to the lookout and stood beside Chen Qing, and asked, "General, why did the Tarnu army come so slowly?" ”
Chen Qing also looked ahead, and said quietly: "Yes, this doesn't look like it's coming to attack!" ”
After a while, the lieutenant said, "General, we don't see that the Tatar army is slow, but dead!" ”
Chen Qing also saw it, nodded and said, "Yes, what kind of trick does this Tarnu army want to play!" ”
"I don't know." The lieutenant shook his head and said.
At this time, a spy came and reported: "Report to the general, the Tarnu army has stopped at a distance of five hundred feet from our army. ”
Because Chen Qing had already seen that the Tarnu army had stopped, he was not too surprised, so he asked, "Do you know why it stopped?" ”
The spy shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know. ”
Chen Qing had no choice but to say, "Let's go and investigate." ”
"It's the general." The little soldier turned and went.
Chen Qing asked, and the deputy general next to him said, "What do you think so?" ”
The lieutenant thought for a moment and said, "Judging from the last general, the Tatar army wants us to attack it. ”
"Let's give it out? Could it be that the Tatars have already seen our plan? Then Chen Qing asked.
The lieutenant nodded and said, "Likely! The current Tarnu army is not as easy to deceive as it used to be. ”
Chen Qing thought for a while and said, "Then let Tai Busy wait somewhere, and tell the soldiers that if the army is not in front, not a single bullet will be fired." ”
The lieutenant nodded and said, "Yes, the last general will go and pass the general's order." ”
The adjutant general went, but Chen Qing still stood on the lookout and watched. But the Tatar army did not move. The intention is obvious, just waiting for him to give the order to attack.
However, Chen Qing understands that the ambush circle he set up here will be destroyed once it is attacked! That would be tantamount to fighting the Tatar army.
Chen Qing thought that he was not good at fighting the other party, although he had artillery and muskets in his hands, but the other party also had brave cavalry. Therefore, in Chen Qing's eyes, there is no chance of winning such an attack.
Now, the entire Han army is winning big battles, and there are few defeats against the Tatar army. He didn't want to be the first Han general to lose the battle.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Qing would not take the initiative to attack. So he went down from the lookout and returned to his tent.
The lieutenant also came and asked, "General, what should we do?" ”
Chen Qing said: "Pass on my generals, the army maintains the formation and acts according to the original deployment. ”
"Yes, General." The lieutenant went to give orders again.
