Chapter 331: Night Attack
~~~~~~
Si Mangtai was so straightforward, and Burhanggu's face was a little unbearable. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
But at this time, the once powerful Yehebu had already disappeared, and Burhanggu had to endure his temper and said with a smile: "Brother Mangtai, don't worry about it first!" Although the younger brother is the messenger of Dajin, the specific matter still needs to be discussed by all of us. ”
In terms of bloodline, Burhanggu is 10,000 times higher than Simangtai.
At this time, even if Ye Hebu has declined, after all, he is a Jurchen, and most of these leaders around him are from Ye Hebu.
Seeing that Bur Hanggu's posture was so low, Si Mangtai also felt that his attitude was too much, and his tone couldn't help but soften, "Brother Hanggu, it's not that the old brother wants to find you. But now that Li Yuanqing's soldiers are in front of him, what should we do, we have to come up with a charter! ”
Burhanggu hurriedly smiled and said: "What Brother Mangtai said is extremely true, so let's all discuss it together." ”
Next to him, the head of a Yehe department spoke: "Li Yuanqing's soldiers are sharp, what we saw with our own eyes today, let alone careless." I mean, we should focus on defense. First stabilize our position, try our best to avoid confrontation with Li Yuanqing, wait for the arrival of our main force of Dajin, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop! ”
The head of this Yehebu is called Huqi, who has married the seventh son of the old slave, Abatai, and his daughter is now Abatai's favorite concubine.
It is also the most powerful branch of the Yehe Department at this time.
At the same time, it is also an important force that Burhangu needs to master the most.
At this time, Kuqi spoke, and everyone nodded again and again, and there was a whisper.
Burhanggu hurriedly smiled: "What Hu Qi said is good, Li Yuanqing has the advantage of the city of Hu Shi Guard, and the number of troops is far more than ours, so we can't act rashly." ”
Kuqi glanced at Burhanggu, but looked away and didn't answer.
Burhangu was a little embarrassed for a while, and was busy trying to find an excuse to divert the topic, when a servant reported outside the door: "Master, the Ming army has already collected its troops, and it has no intention of continuing to attack us." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Burhanggu's heart, which had been pinching, also relaxed slightly.
As long as Li Yuanqing doesn't attack, then he will have time to slowly infiltrate and control this team, and take down the stubborn traitor Huqi.
"Huh. This Li Yuanqing is also smart, knowing that we are far from being comparable to those miscellaneous pieces on the Eastern Front. How to prevent it, let's talk about your thoughts! ”
Burhanggu looked at everyone with a smile.
…………
At this time, on the side of the Hushi guards, Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde had returned to the division victoriously, and the post-war exploits and spoils inventory were being carried out in an orderly manner.
Surrounded by dozens of generals of the Changsheng Battalion, Li Yuanqing was observing the situation in the Burhanggu Department not far away.
At this time, it was only about 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
In this war at noon, apart from the process of arranging troops and walking on the road, the time that the war really consumed was only a few.
Seeing that Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde won such a big victory so easily, all the generals couldn't help it, and they all asked for battle, wanting to take down the Western Front coalition army on the Burhanggu side in one go.
Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "There are almost 3,000 people here in Burhanggu, and judging by the formation of its lineup, it is much stronger than those miscellaneous on the eastern front. In addition, they built a wall of snow with their backs to the river, and it was a little unwise for our sons to rush over. ”
"The general is benevolent! Humble admiration! ”
The generals also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and nodded one after another.
Kong Youde said: "General, the morale of our sons is booming, and the main force of Houjin is probably slowing down to our side, we can't waste too much time, we must pull out the nail of Burhanggu!" ”
Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a long breath, nodded with a smile, "You must pull it out." But not now! Pass on my military orders! ”
"Yes!"
The generals around him fell to their knees.
"Rest from the full armament! Tonight, it's time to go on the expedition! ”
"Yes!"
Only then did the generals understand what Li Yuanqing meant, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly went to prepare.
The generals around him left, Li Yuanqing looked at the Tartar camp not far away, and showed a slight sneer.
Burhangu.
This is a crucial chess piece!
…………
The time quickly came into the evening.
Although Li Yuanqing did not launch an offensive on his side, the terrifying deterrent power of defeating the coalition forces on the eastern front at noon made these Tartar coalition troops on the western front like frightened birds, and hundreds of sentry spies were densely scattered around the two armies, firmly monitoring every move of the Ming army.
Li Yuanqing did not send too many sentries to entangle with them, which was regarded as acquiescing to their actions and reassuring them.
Shu Luohuan's side and the clan minions are also back.
The statistics of the pacifiers also have an approximate figure.
In the battle at noon, on the side of the Changsheng Battalion, a total of more than 800 Tartars were killed, more than 200 were taken prisoner, and the rest were already broken and fled.
Shu Luohuan chased them out of more than ten miles, and only caught fifty or sixty minions.
The weather and terrain here are too bad, and it has been snowing, so it is really difficult to find a small group of people and horses into the old forest.
Li Yuanqing didn't want to annihilate all these Tartars, after all, they were the natives here, and if they wanted to do this, even if they were modernized in later generations, it would be difficult to do it.
All he wants is to create enough chaos and panic here, so that these Tartars are afraid of his Li Yuanqing's might!
However, although there were many merits, because of the lack of carrying capacity, Li Yuanqing could not repay the merits to the imperial court, so he had to throw these corpses in place to let the beasts have more food.
After dinner, the detailed tasks were assigned, and the time was already 9 o'clock.
The nights in the Northland are extremely cold, especially at night, when the wind blows stronger and stronger, and it seems to be more than ten degrees colder than during the day.
The only good thing is that it is white everywhere, and the river is like a mirror, and the visibility is not bad against the background of the faint moonlight.
Under the city, behind the high snow wall, Duan Xiliang and Li Sansheng, who were the main attackers, had already begun to reorganize the army.
The two wings, Kong Youde and Huang Guoshan, are also ready.
Li Yuanqing was not afraid of a head-on duel with Burhanggu at all, but he was afraid that this guy would want to slip away when he saw that the situation was not good.
To be on the safe side, he could only delay most of the day and choose the time for the attack at night.
In the distance, in the direction of the Burhanggu camp, a vigorous bonfire was lit, standing on the head of the city of the Kushi gatekeeper and looking at it, the sparks were lit, mixed with the white and green trees, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.
Their scouts had also shrunk to two miles away from the Immortal Camp front, and they didn't dare to rush over again.
At this time, a pro-soldier ran over quickly and whispered a few words to Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "It's almost!" Let Kong Youde and Huang Guoshan start first! ”
"Yes!" The soldiers hurried away.
Soon, Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde, who were on the two wings of the city, began to move closely.
The guards were in a plain area, surrounded by the flat plains washed out by the river, although the trees were grouped and somewhat hidden, but the terrain was extremely flat.
The camp of Burhangu was behind a small river, and they camped behind it, taking advantage of the river's geographical location, piled up a high wall of snow and hid it behind.
At this time, the camps of the two sides were almost two and a half miles apart.
According to the marching speed of the Immortal Battalion, it can be reached in half an hour.
If you want to make an impact, you can go faster.
It's just that, in order to prevent the main force of Burhangu from escaping, he must cover his pockets tightly.
Soon, Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde had already set up a formation, and according to this formation, they could directly rush to the front of the Western Front coalition army in Burhangu, and they could directly enter the battle.
It's almost time, Li Yuanqing waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
As the order was quickly passed on, Huang Guoshan, Kong Youde, Duan Xiliang, and Li Sansheng, nearly 3,000 soldiers, like a raging red tide, slowly but quickly surrounded the Tartar camp on the western front.
Li Yuanqing also came to the city, and rushed to the west surrounded by the pro-military camp and the four hundred bird soldiers of Shunzi.
In this era, many people have night blindness, especially these natives of the Northland, who mainly eat meat and lack various vitamins in green vegetables.
When the sons and daughters of the Immortal Camp went out more than a hundred steps, they discovered the abnormality here, and they exclaimed one after another.
But there was no fire on the side of the Immortal Battalion at all, and they couldn't tell the scale of the number of people in the Immortal Battalion, they only felt that the black pressure was overwhelming.
As the news reached the camp on the Western Front, the camp was instantly in chaos.
Si Mantai was already panicked, and he wanted to flee with his headquarters in a hurry.
Burhangu was also panicked, he never thought that Li Yuanqing would steal the camp in the middle of the night.
At this time, the warriors had just taken off their armor and slept, and many of them were awakened in their dreams, hurriedly putting on their armor and waiting for the orders of the leaders and officials.
"Brother Mangtai, you can't go!"
With a dozen entourage, Burhanggu hurriedly stopped Simangtai, who was in a hurry and wanted to run away.
"Not leaving? If you don't leave, are you going to wait here to die? Si Mantai was furious, waved his horsewhip, and wanted to leave.
Burhanggu hurriedly said: "Brother Mangtai, if you leave now, how should you explain to the Great Khan?" ”
Si Mangtai also came back to his senses.
That's right! If he runs away now, how will he face the anger of the old slave?
Although the Jurchens treated the Mongols much softer than the Han Chinese, the bloodstains of the Great Khan's personal conquest of Mongolia last year may not have dried up yet, and Si Mangtai really didn't dare to mess around for a while.
"Burhanggu, then, what should we do now?" Si Mantai was already panicking.
Burhanggu said solemnly: "We have so many fortifications and so many warriors, why should we be afraid of Li Yuanqing." Brother Mangtai, hurry up and call the sons and daughters to fight. We have geographical advantages, and Li Yuanqing can't do anything about us! ”
Although Si Mangtai was helpless, he could only listen to Burhanggu's advice and hurriedly beckoned his minions to prepare for battle.
In the face of this state of affairs, even if Kuqi didn't want to fight, he had no choice, so he had to take his minions to fight.
But after they had just arrived at the fortifications, many people had not even had time to put on their armor, and not far away, the surging red tide of the Ming army had already surrounded them, less than 300 paces away!
