Chapter 363: Night Attack
Thank you very much for the tip!
*
It's just that Luo Xin is still young and young, if you want to wait for the day when Luo Xin will gain a foothold in the court, I don't know when, I can't help but sigh in my heart, and shake this matter away from my head:
"No, then we'll go straight to the east?"
"Well, let's go east!"
"Stepping on ......"
The sound of horses' hooves sounded everywhere in the steppe, and the Mongols were angry, how many years has it been, when did the Ming army dare to enter the steppe? Not to mention the fact that they went into the grasslands, slaughtered their cattle and sheep, and burned their pastures. The Mongol cavalry, who had withdrawn from the Ming Border Pass, searched the west for Luo Xin's traces. Now they don't know who killed the grassland, how many troops there are, they only have anger and hatred in their hearts, no matter who they are, no matter how many Ming cavalry, all they want is to find the Ming army and let them die in the grassland.
Alatan Khan did not send troops, in his opinion, as long as those Mongolian warriors who came back from the Ming border pass, they could completely kill these Ming officers and soldiers who went deep into the grassland, and the reason why the Ming officers and soldiers were able to burn their pastures was because the Ming officers and soldiers took advantage of the Mongolian warriors to go to the Ming border pass, and the rear was empty to achieve this effect. Now that their Mongol warriors have returned, it is time for the Ming officers and soldiers to die.
However, the Daming border pass has become much deserted, and most of the Mongolian cavalry who had been robbing the villages of the Daming border pass before have returned to the grassland. But there are still some who have not returned, and they are still robbing the villages of the Daming border pass. Because this part of the Mongolian cavalry are ethnic warriors in the eastern part of the grassland, they got the news that the Ming officers and soldiers killed the western part of the grassland, so they thought that it was impossible for the Ming officers and soldiers to kill the eastern part of the grassland, as long as the Mongolian warriors in the west returned to the grassland, they could easily deal with the Ming officers and soldiers who went deep into the grassland, so they might as well take advantage of the time when the Mongolian warriors in the west returned to the grassland. They robbed the Ming border pass more, and even they gloated a little over the blow suffered in the western part of the grassland.
Xuanfu.
"Lord Ministry, half of the Mongols at the border have withdrawn to the steppe." At this time, there was a scout reporting to Ma Fang.
Ma Fang didn't have a smile on his face when he heard this, but his eyebrows were full of worry, he was worried about Luo Xin and them. It can be said that Luo Xin's actions have had an effect, and what he is worried about now is whether Luo Xin and them can return safely.
"Kill ......"
Eastern steppe.
Luo Xin and others are attacking the tribes of the Mongols, one by one pastures have been burned, groups of cattle and sheep have been killed, Luo Xin and they are becoming more and more accustomed to the grassland, and they have reached one person and three horses at this time. came and went like the wind, and the Mongolian cavalry in the east had not yet returned from the Daming border pass, so Luo Xin and them really experienced the addiction of Huo Qu's disease.
this day.
Luo Xin and the others were hidden in a sea of grass, and a few black dots in the distance were rapidly approaching, and those black dots gradually enlarged in their eyes, but they were a few scouts. The three scouts came to Zhao Yong, Luo Qing and Luo Xin, turned over and dismounted:
"General, there's a tribe ahead. There were about a thousand households, and there were about 500 of them, and from what they said they knew was that they had just returned from a raid at the border. Among them, there are also many Han Chinese who have just been captured. ”
"These bunch of crumbs!" Luo Qing said hatefully.
"Five hundred are strong?" Zhao Yong frowned slightly, looked at Luo Xindao, "Do we want to use firearms?" ”
Luo Xin thought for a moment and said, "Brother, since we went deep into the grassland, to be honest, we haven't encountered a real tough battle. Five hundred Mongolian light and strong is not really a tough battle for us. Our tough battles are behind, and the Mongol cavalry will only grow more and more, when we want to jump out of the encirclement. That's when the real battle was tough. I think these 500 light and strong are just the opportunity for us to train our troops, otherwise once we are surrounded by the Mongol cavalry, we have very few chances of surviving. ”
Of course, Zhao Yong understood the meaning of Luo Xin's words, on the one hand, he never fought a tough battle, but just relied on Luo Xin's firearms, and once he encountered a real hard battle, these two thousand people might panic. In the case of not taking advantage of the time and place, if the people are flustered and lose people, I am afraid that none of the two thousand of them will be able to return to Daming alive. On the other hand, once the firearms are used up in advance, when the time comes, when the time comes, what will be used to break out of the encirclement?
"Okay, then let them fight hard!"
"It's not a hard hit!" Luo Xin smiled: "They are not prepared, but we are prepared, there are calculations or not, and their number is small, so there should not be many casualties." ”
"Not bad!" Luo Qing nodded and said, "And we don't need to go now, we can wait until dawn, which is when they are asleep." ”
The darkness before dawn.
This is the darkest period of time, Zhao Yong, Luo Qing and Luo Xin have already touched the outside of the ranch with two thousand cavalry. Looking out of the pasture, there were only four sentry posts, with a bonfire lit in the middle, and the four Mongol soldiers, probably returning from a long journey from the border pass, were sitting drowsy by the campfire.
Zhao Yong waved his hand, and immediately four archers stepped forward, bending their bows and arrows.
"Whoosh Whoosh ......"
Four sharp arrows pierced through the skulls of the four Mongol soldiers, who fell to the ground without even uttering a word.
"Get on the horse!" Zhao Yong shouted in a low voice.
The order was quickly passed on, and one by one the generals turned over and mounted their horses. At this time, everyone was holding a torch in their hands, and Zhao Yong took the lead in taking out the fire fold and lit the torch in his hand. Seeing that the torch in Zhao Yong's hand was burning, the two thousand Ming cavalry behind him lit the torches in their hands one after another.
"Kill!"
Zhao Yong shouted, clamped his legs, and urged the horse to rush towards the pasture. When he rushed into the pasture, he raised his hand and threw the torch in his hand towards a tent.
"Boom ......"
The tent was set on fire.
"Whoosh ......"
More than 2,000 torches were thrown, and in an instant, the entire ranch became a sea of fire.
"Ah......h
A scream came from the tents, and the Mongols ran out of the tents in panic, without even having time to put on their clothes, and even most of the Mongolian light and strong men were empty in their hands, and they did not even take weapons.
It was a one-sided massacre, even the Mongols had little resistance, and after the light of day, the pastures were still burning, and the air was filled with the smell of burning, the smell of the corpses of people and cattle and sheep. The Mongols in the entire ranch had been slaughtered, and some Han slaves had been killed by mistake in the process, and only hundreds of Han slaves were squatting together tremblingly, looking at Zhao Yong and the others in fear.
