Chapter 1852 : Tartar Night Attack
He originally thought that this would be enough to wipe out Xu Da's army, but he soon discovered that his plan was basically impossible to realize. Xu Da knew the art of war, the changes in formations, and the tightness. In addition, he cooperated with the fire cannons on the high platform and the cover of powerful crossbows, and launched repeated attacks.
I thought that the good Mongolian cavalry could not take much advantage after one battle. After several battles, they killed 8,000 enemies and injured 800 themselves. The Ming army outnumbered them. In the long run, they were ultimately defeated. Attacking
After several attacks, he decisively stopped the attack. After the two sides repaired for a few days, the Ming army never left the station again. They only used small groups of troops to test, and most of them late at night, attacking two or three times a night. This troubled Wang Baobao.
, he knew that this was Xu Da's plan to disturb the enemy, but at the moment he had no way to break it. For this reason, he had tried every means in the past few days, but it still didn't help. On April 5th, it was even worse.
A situation arises.
From this moment on, he realized that meeting Xu Da was his lifelong nightmare.
Starting from April 5th, Xu Da divided his soldiers into three groups, attacked his army day and night, and set fire to the barracks. In the middle of the night, he sent talented strangers to sneak into his military tent and beat gongs in front of the three army tents.
Playing drums, singing songs, shouting, burning fireworks, you can do whatever you want. On the night of the seventh day of the lunar month, there will be no more disturbances.
After the exhausted Yuan soldiers fell asleep, they immediately attacked his camp. His soldiers panicked, fled in defeat, and were completely routed. They only recaptured the camp at dawn. After a few days, his soldiers were tired and hungry.
, not allowed to rest. I was in a hurry and wanted to attack, but because the enemy's camp was strong, I could only watch and worry.
He knew that he could not continue like this. His 100,000-strong army had no fighting spirit and combat effectiveness because of fatigue. This battle was his hope and he could never lose, so he decided to take action.
During the days when Xu Da was making trouble, he was not idle either. He sent people to attack everywhere, looking for people who were familiar with the terrain, hoping to give the Ming army a surprise attack. Emperor Tian paid off, and he finally found a hunter who lived in this area all year round.
Under some pressure,
I learned that there is a mountain trail in Shen'er Valley that can go around the rear of the Ming army. However, this trail is hidden in the valley. It is a trail used by hunters in this area when hunting. It does not allow too many people to walk.
Only those who can ride alone can pass.
After hearing the news, Wang Baobao was overjoyed. He ignored Xu Da's constant harassment in the past few days. He knew Xu Da's intention. He did not want to fight decisively, but just wanted to tire his army so that he would eventually get bored.
Unable to bear the harassment, the troops retreated.
It's a pity that your plan will come to nothing this time. Outside the big tent, Wang Baobao looked at the Ming army's big tent, smiled coldly, and murmured to himself.
With this trail, Wang Baobao knew that this was his only chance. The success or failure of this battle depended on it, and there was no room for sloppiness. Therefore, he ignored Xu Da's harassment and even pretended to be unbearable, in order to paralyze Xu Da.
Da, let him relax his vigilance.
After several days of repeated research, Wang Baobao believed that this path, as long as it was used properly, was enough to attack the flanks of the Ming army. Once the flanks of the Ming army were removed, the Ming army would definitely be in chaos. In this way, these thousand cavalry took advantage of the chaos.
Kill the Ming army, and even kill Xu Da——?" After much calculation and instructions to his subordinates, he selected a thousand cavalry and marched eastward for more than thirty miles across a deep ditch. Along this trail,
Taking advantage of the darkness, we headed straight for Xu Da's camp.
The direction of Wang Baobao's attack was to the southeast of Mingjun. The commander of this camp was Hu Deji, who was the adopted son of Hu Dahai and was a very talented general. He followed Xu Da to Shanxi and served as Zuo Cheng in the army, responsible for assisting General Xu Da. Attack Dingxi.
In the past two days, Xu Da has been harassing the enemy and has never seen an enemy attack. Everyone's vigilance has weakened. Furthermore, the southeastern camp is responsible for helping to guard Xiao Yun's food and grass. Therefore, the camp was located at the rear of the army, and the vigilance was much weaker than at the front. No one expected that Wang Baobao would suddenly arrive.
The night was getting darker, and the fading moonlight was gradually obscured by clouds. In the entire Shen'er Valley, only the various camps of the Ming army shone with firelight from time to time, illuminating everything around them.
The trail between the mountains hangs between the mountains, and the two sides are covered by vegetation. Wang Baobao's thousand elite Mongolian cavalry quietly approached the camp. There was silence all around, except for the snoring sounds, which were louder than the other. Wang Baobao was overjoyed and thought "God bless me, Yuan?" With a cold shout, a thousand elite cavalry quickly launched an attack, and the sound of killing broke out. The cavalry who rushed in quickly moved away the antlers and wooden fence; Hu Dejiwan did not expect that the Yuan army would suddenly appear. Surprised, he hurried out of the tent and wanted to mobilize his troops. However, Wang Baobao's thousand cavalry swept past like the wind. Wherever they went, their swords shone brightly and there were loud shouts of killing. For a moment, they didn't even know they were coming. How many Tatar troops and unprepared Ming army were in chaos. Hu Deji's deputy general was panicked and forgot his command. The Ming army in the southeast camp was suddenly leaderless. In the panic, Wang Baobao's elite soldiers took the opportunity to kill many of them. Seeing the chaos, If the Ming army continued like this, they would all be killed by Wang Baobao. As the commander-in-chief, Hu Deji was anxious and wanted to mobilize troops, but the scattered troops fled in all directions. How could he organize them?
Suddenly, a figure quickly jumped out from the chaotic crowd. His movement was extremely fast, and he held a single sword in his hand. Wherever the sword shone, he would kill an enemy soldier. The figure passed by the soldiers, and his body was in chaos. Among the troops, like a fast-jumping civet cat, he quickly jumped onto the base built in front. The base was originally where the soldiers usually kept sentries. After the man jumped on the base, he glanced around. Regarding the battle situation, he shouted: "Brothers, don't panic. There are not many Tatars. Don't mess up your position!" His voice was not loud, but it was transmitted continuously, shaking people's eardrums. Although the field was chaotic, , the sound was also loud, but everyone in the Ming Dynasty heard it clearly.
"What a strong internal force?" Hu Deji secretly praised, came to his senses, pulled out the sword from his waist, and shouted into the night sky: "Brothers, follow me!"
The panicked Ming army seemed to have found its backbone, slowly calmed down, and began to search for enemies in all directions.
The man on the platform could see clearly by the lights and shouted loudly: "The Tatars are coming from the southeast. Brothers, guard the southeast. Don't let the Tatars enter the rear camp!"
