Behind the hillside, Li Yuanqing, who was riding on a horse, saw this scene clearly, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Although Li Yuanqing has entered his fifth year in the army, at this time, it is his limited opportunity to fight side by side with the traditional Ming army.
Seeing the scene at this time, Li Yuanqing finally understood why, there has always been a proverb in the army, 'Ten arrows are not as good as one shot'.
It means that if you shoot ten arrows, the effect may not be as good as a spear.
In particular, the elite of the Houjin Army have multiple layers of armor and various shields in their hands, unless the bow and arrow can directly hit their necks and faces, otherwise, it is difficult to form a real and practical blow to them.
But on the side of the Houjin army, because of their natural advantages, they are almost all the most skilled hunters, and their bows and arrows are fast, accurate and ruthless, almost deadly.
Shooting against them, the Ming army simply could not have much chance of winning.
It is no wonder that in the Ming army, cavalry has always been used as a reserved unit, and it is generally sent out to pursue and kill the enemy when the situation is almost clear.
You know, this is still a cavalry archer under Man Gui, and it can be regarded as a personal soldier sequence.
If it is replaced by other ordinary Ming army archers, then ......
"Yuanqing, they rushed in!"
Man Gui's somewhat agitated voice interrupted Li Yuanqing's thoughts, and Li Yuanqing hurriedly looked ahead.
At this time, with the retreat of the first archer defense line of the Ming army, the entire camp was completely open, and in a moment, two or three hundred golden cavalry had already swarmed in and were rushing into the tent group.
In such a situation, Li Yuanqing didn't have time to think about anything else, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Gui, let's start!" ā
Man Gui couldn't help but nod with joy, although the first wave of archers lost very little, and probably only a few people died, but these people were all his elites, and dying would make him feel distressed.
At this time, Li Yuanqing spoke, where would he hesitate? Hurriedly gave the order to the front.
The archers hidden on both sides couldn't wait, and in a moment, they lit the rockets in their hands one after another, and 'swished' to the middle.
At the same time, the two mixed 'throwers' who had been in the woods above the camp were no longer kept, and they threw the improvised javelins in their hands at the Houjin crowd in the middle of the camp at high speed.
'Poof'.
A rocket hit the tent, froze for a moment, and the fire instantly ignited the top of the tent, because of the dampness, thick black smoke billowed up, and the fire instantly continued on the top of the tent.
Inside the tent, a lot of dry firewood and hay have long been placed, and as soon as the sparks full of grease on the top of the tent fall, the dry firewood and hay inside were quickly ignited, and the 'boom' was burning, and the more it burned, the more it burned.
Even though some tents could not be ignited by rockets, as more and more tents were ignited, the fire could not stop rising and soaring into the sky.
These tents, which were not ignited by the first wave of arrows, were also quickly raised by the continuous fire, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.
In about a few minutes, the entire Ming army camp was full of fiery red, tearing in the wind and swaying back and forth.
"Yuanqing, it's a success!" Man Gui couldn't help but wave his fist with joy, looking at the Houjin army who was trapped in the middle of the camp and laughing.
But Li Yuanqing didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Gui, hurry, don't hesitate, the archers follow, be sure to wipe them out inside, don't let them come out!" ā
"Huh? Oh! Man Gui also reacted at this time, hurriedly greeted his family soldiers, and personally rushed forward, pulled his bow and wound it, and shot at the Houjin army trapped in the fire.
Li Yuanqing also discovered a huge flaw in his plan at this time.
After all, this is not the well-equipped immortal battalion under his command.
Even if there was fire surrounding the dogs, there were not enough weapons of lethality to cause enough damage to them.
To put it simply, this is 'applause or not', 'only thunder but not rain'.
If you want to see the results, it is inevitable that the sons will still have to get into hand-to-hand combat with these dog tartars.
But it has reached such a point that regret is no longer of any use, or you can use the fire to kill all these dog tartars. Or, just wait for them to rush out and fight for their lives.
Seeing that even if Man Gui personally stepped forward to participate in the battle, the effect was still not ideal, Li Yuanqing couldn't sit still, and shouted to the soldiers around him to come forward, if there were dog Tartars rushing out of the fire in front, they must be solved as soon as possible!
The fire burned more and more, crackling, and the whole Ming army camp was full of noise, mixed with pine needles, dry firewood, and billowing smoke from dampness, as if it were the end of the world.
But the Ming army outside the battle array was better, and the Tartars inside were miserable.
Meng Gangdudu's majestic silver helmet was already missing at this time, and most of the oily money rat braids were also scorched, his face was covered with black ash, and his skin was already black, as if he had just climbed out of the coal kiln.
"Lord Meng Gangdu, there are fires on all sides, let's, we can't get out!"
The fire spread so quickly that the minions around Meng Gangdu panicked, and tried to break through to the surroundings several times, but to no avail, and they had to guard against the rain of arrows and javelins of the Ming army on all sides at any time, they were about to go crazy.
Meng Gangdu obviously didn't expect the Ming army to be so despicable, but at this time, he was already in the 'urn' of the Ming army, so he could only grit his teeth and shout: "The wind is coming from the north!" Quick, let's break through to the north. ā
"But, my lord, there is a cliff two or three feet high to the north!" A minion hurriedly said.
"Dog minion, can you fall to death at two or three feet high? You don't want to be burned, just move fast! Meng Gangdu couldn't help but slap the slave hard, and rushed towards the north at a high speed against the scorching fire.
Seeing that the master was like this, the minions around him no longer fired arrows aimlessly in all directions, and followed him one after another.
Not far from the bottom, Tan Bai was also panicked, he never expected that this small group of Ming troops would actually set such a big trap for them.
At this time, Tan Bai had already led his troops to rush over, preparing to rescue Meng Gangdu and his party.
Although Meng Gangdu is only a slave with a yellow flag and is not a noble, one of his daughters is the favorite concubine of Daishan's second son, Shuotuo.
In case Meng Gang died in battle here, not only would he not be able to explain to the old slave, but he would also be unable to explain to Dai Shan.
But the fire on the hillside was so fierce that they couldn't go up at all, and could only linger fifty or sixty paces away.
At this time, Meng Gangdu, who was in the north, didn't have time to hesitate, gritted his teeth, and whipped the horse's hips fiercely, and the war horse jumped down from a high place under the pain.
Although the hillside is not high, there are two or three zhang, about seven or eight meters, Meng Gangdu even fell down with people and horses, and he felt that his internal organs were about to be broken.
But this guy was at that time, and his reaction was quite agile, and when he landed, he deliberately let the war horse under him to cushion his strength.
At this time, although his body was in great pain, he did not worry about his life, and hurriedly rolled and hurriedly rushed to the front.
He didn't want to be crushed into meat sauce by the minions that followed.
In a moment, more than a dozen war horses rushed out of the fire one after another, but they didn't have the handsome skills and good luck of Meng Gangdu, there was a tall minion who was too unlucky, his head hit the ground first, his brains were smashed out, red and white mixed things were all over the ground, and he was still steaming on the snow.
The shouts here also attracted the attention of Tan Bai not far away, and after a while, a servant shouted happily: "Lord Tan Bai, Lord Meng Gangdu is here." ā
Tan Bai was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Quick, go and have a look." "Hurry up and gallop to this side.
As soon as he saw Tan Bai, Meng Gangdudu's tears could no longer stop pouring out, "Lord Tan Bai, this, this...... It's all my fault that I was too impulsive and killed the warriors! ā
Tan Bai was slightly relieved to see that Meng Gang was fine, but his face was incomparably gloomy, "Lord Meng Gangdu, don't blame you, if you want to blame, blame me for being too reckless, I didn't expect that these despicable Ming dogs would be so cunning!" ā
Meng Gangdu couldn't help but cry, "Lord Tanbai, the warriors, and hundreds of warriors are trapped in the fire!" ā
Tan Bai had already cooled down at this time, "Although this place is in crisis, it is a way to survive. Quick, come and shout, guide the warriors to break through from this side. ā
The minions around him didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly shouted loudly here.
With guidance, the Houjin troops trapped in the fire also had a direction and broke through to the north.
On the side of the Ming army, they knew that there must be a lot of Tartar heads in the center of the camp, but they couldn't rush into the fire to get it, so they could only lean on the surrounding sides and block it, and catch one and count it as one.
Soon, the simple javelins of the soldiers in the woods on the hillside had run out, and they did not dare to fight, so they quickly ran down to join the main force.
At this time, the Ming army had almost caught more than 30 Tartars, all of which rushed out of the fire like headless flies, and were attacked and killed by the Ming army.
They were soon cut off and stripped naked.
Seeing that the fire was getting stronger and stronger, but he was never able to go in to harvest the head, Man Gui was also a little anxious, "Yuanqing, this, this, this, this is all a merit!" ā
Li Yuanqing glanced at the sky, it was almost two or three o'clock, and if he continued to entangle, the Ming army could not take too much advantage, and hurriedly said: "Brother Gui, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, we should withdraw!" ā
Man Gui was stunned for a moment, and also understood what Li Yuanqing meant.
Although he was reluctant to let go of these Tartar heads, if there was no Li Yuanqing's plan, not only would these tents and materials be cheap Tartars, not to mention that there would be more than 30 Tartar heads in the account.
You must know that Guan Ning is no better than Dongjiang and Liaonan, with more than 30 levels of Tartar heads, which is almost a miracle.
What's more, it is still a Tartar head with a yellow flag.
The so-called legendary Ningyuan victory, in vain on more than 10,000 living beings on Juehua Island, not to mention, the Tartar head captured by the Guan Ning army is just a leak picked up by Mangui later when he went out of the city to try his luck, and most of the wounded soldiers of each banner are injured, and there is no actual gold content at all.
At this time, although there is no way to win the great merit in the camp, these more than thirty levels of Tartar heads are enough for Man Gui to touch the throne of the general soldier above his head.
"Yuanqing, I listen to you! Let's withdraw! ā
Seeing that Man Gui did not fight, Li Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and waved his big hand, "Withdraw!" ā
Soon, under the cover of smoke, the Ming army quickly rushed towards the south.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
On the side of the Ming army camp, the fire burned until midnight, and then gradually stopped.
Looking at the more than 100 'black charcoal' corpses in the devastation, Tan Bai's eyes were about to erupt with fire, but unfortunately, he knew that he had lost, and he had lost very completely.
Until now, he didn't even know which Ming army he had encountered.
Tan Bai wanted to roar loudly, but he knew that he couldn't do that, he was the commander of this army. However, his fists were clenched and creaking.
At this time, a servant suddenly said, "Lord Tanbai, a few flags have been found here." ā
Tan Bai was stunned for a moment, "Hurry up." ā
In a moment, a minion presented the flag quickly.
Tan Bai glanced at it carefully, for a moment, but he could no longer hold back the anger in his chest and abdomen, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar: "Ah!!! It's actually Li Yuanqing! Li Yuanqing, you dog offal! One day, I will tear you into pieces with my own hands!! ā
