Two-five-five, loud assault
After Zhu Yuanzhang sent out several leaders, he sneaked into the officers and soldiers camp with the 500 soldiers who stayed by him and lay down in a ditches about thirty feet away from the enemy camp. He did not rush to take action because he was acting in the dark and did not want to alarm the officers and soldiers, Bu Fu's speed would not be very fast. Although he was ready, the other leaders might not be able to cooperate, so he still needed to endure more time. If he was anxious at this time, he would fail. Only those who were calm could catch a big fish.
After waiting for about an hour, he had enough feet to circle the officers and soldiers' camps to make several rounds. I guess the leaders had already lurked in the pre-determined position with the bandits, so he slowly stood up.
"Ma Xiaotian, I ordered the entire army. I shouted, and everyone shouted loudly, rushed into the officers and soldiers' camp... and grabbed the torches from the patrol soldiers and burned the other party's tent. The scene became more and more chaotic."
"We are sneak attacking, why do we shout loudly? Isn't this a reminder to the enemy that we are here?" Ma Xiaotian was a studious boy who asked if he didn't understand.
"When you are attacked late at night, people wake up from sleep and don't know what's happening around you. If the noise around you is louder, they will think that the situation outside will be more chaotic... So when we shout loudly and rush over, the officers and soldiers will be in chaos."
"Ha, so that's it. I learned another move." Ma Xiaotian smiled.
At this time, a patrol team of officers and soldiers turned over. There were eleven people in this team. In fact, a ten-men leader led ten soldiers. Each of them took a torch. The leader of the leading ten-men kept nagging while walking: "Damn it, why did you choose our team from two thousand people? It's so fucking bad luck."
As soon as the poor ten-master said this, he heard a shout in the darkness a hundred meters away: "Do it!"
"Do it?" The head of the tenth husband couldn't turn his head. In the middle of the night, who was fucking calling for action in the dark? Is this going to catch the weasel? Alas... something is wrong...
With a "take action", a shout suddenly sounded "coaxed" a hundred meters away: "Kill!"
"Chop the fuck!"
"Run in and do those stupid guys!"
"Your mother!"
"Wet you north!"
All kinds of rough and bold curses sounded in the darkness, followed by rapid footsteps, and there was no way to the chaotic scene. There was no way to know how many people rushed over in the darkness. Soon, a face with a fierce expression appeared at the distance that the torch could reflect, and then the second and third pictures, the waving swords and guns were dragged out by the light of the torch and swayed randomly.
"Oh my mother! There is an enemy attacking the camp!" The tenth captain finally woke up from the shock and roared wildly, but his tiny roar was completely submerged in the surging shouts of the bandits.
In fact, they didn't need to warn them at all, because the shouts of the bandits were hundreds of times louder than their warnings. The chaotic insults and strange screams had already stated to the officers and soldiers in the military camp: "I'm here to attack the camp!"
The eleven night patrol soldiers were only slightly stunned. The bandits had arrived. They were startled, turned around and ran away. Someone ran two steps and felt a pain in his heart. It turned out that he was shot by a hunting bow. The bows in the past are not going to kill people in one go. However, with the pain in the back, his body lost balance and fell heavily. When he struggled to stand up again, the bandits had arrived in front of him. The spear was stabbed to the heart.
Another soldier threw away the torch while running, and then a bandit caught up from behind, picked it up, and threw it onto the nearest tent... The fire followed, and the people in the tent ran out in disarray, sweating profusely, with a look of horror on their faces: "The bandits attacked the camp? How many have they come? Where did they come? Why are there strange screams and shouts of killing everywhere?"
"Why are there shouting to kill everywhere?"
It turned out that just after Zhu Yuanzhang launched a surprise attack, Wang Er and Miao Mei also started an attack at the same time. The bandits from both directions rushed out shouting and shouting. What a sudden thing was this in the quiet night?
Panic and fear defeated the fighting will of all the officers and soldiers in an instant. The camp was full of disheveled clothes and screaming. They were sleeping in a daze and suddenly woke up by the shouts of killing. When they heard the voices of people from all directions, they thought the situation was gone and there was no idea of fighting? The soldiers were completely confused about the southeast, west and north, and ran around like headless flies.
Killing people must set fire! Under Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the bandits threw away the snatched torches everywhere, burning one tent when they saw one. The flames of Xiongxiong became even more chaotic in the dark, and made the officers and soldiers who wanted to hide in the tent pretend to be dead and ran around with their heads in their arms.
Wu Yan, who was resting in the central army's tent, was also awakened by the sound of killing. He sat up from the marching bed and rubbed his confused eyes. Before he could figure out the situation, he saw Zhang Fushun lifting the door and rushing in: "Sir, our army was attacked by thieves at night, get up quickly..."
"What? Was attacked at night?" Wu Qi was confused: "Didn't you say the thief is going to ambush us in Chengcheng? Now we are still in Baishui..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Get up quickly... go with me!" Zhang Fushun grabbed Wu Qi and slapped him in his hands, with his feet off the ground.
"Is the situation so bad? Need to escape?" Wu Qian said anxiously: "Didn't you say there is a complete plan to defeat the enemy? It is precisely because you said you will win that I came here with you..."
Zhang Fushun: “…”
His head was covered in sweat. He was obviously sure that the enemy would ambush in Chengcheng, but the thief was obviously much smarter than he thought. Not only did he not fall into his cover, but he took advantage of this and attacked him on the way. At this time, his preparations were not yet ready, and the soldiers were not prepared. It was the most headache-inducing night attack in military tactics... Zhang Fushun just looked at the chaotic camp and knew that this battle would be defeated. Now it is not a question of whether he can win or not, but a question of whether he can escape.
Zhang Fushun carried Wu Yan out of the camp tent. Wu Yan had the chance to see the scene outside. When he saw it, he was shocked. He saw that the camp of the officers and soldiers had been submerged in a sea of fire, and there were fires everywhere. There were more than a dozen tents burning in Xiongxiong wherever he saw them. In just a blink of an eye, the bandits had already reached a very close place to the central army. The officers and soldiers had completely lost their fighting spirit and could not make any effective resistance except for running around with their heads in their arms.
Occasionally, dozens of soldiers with a calm mind were not panic and gathered together to form a small spear formation, but they could only resist the bandits for a short time. The bandits would give priority to these small groups of soldiers who remained calm in the chaos, in case they gathered more officers and soldiers to reorganize the situation. Often, five times the number of bandits formed a spear formation, and in an instant they would stab the reassembled officers and soldiers to pieces.
Wu Qi couldn't help but gasp: "Our army... is Tingsui's elite soldiers... but not ordinary guards, why are their combat power so poor?"
"Imperial Commander, it's not that our army is not working hard, it's because the thief army is too cunning! The Baishui Zhu Ba can accurately detect the actions of each unit in this dark and dark fire. It's so terrible..." Zhang Fushun shook his head and said, "Stop talking... Go quickly."
But how easy is it to go? The target of the attack of the bandits is the large tent of the Central Army after all. For a while, there are not many soldiers surrounding the Central Army. Zhang Fushun and Wu Qi, under the protection of more than 100 servants, walked around the back of the Central Army's tent. Without going far, the bandits cut off their way.
The hundred loyal servants were not in vain. They fought desperately and forced the bandits around to retreat, protecting Zhang Fushun and Wu Qi on their war horses.
In the Ming army, almost every official who went to the expedition rode a horse, just like the leaders of later generations must have a car. Of course, Wu Yan and Zhang Fushun also had horses, but their soldiers did not have such high-end things. The one hundred soldiers knew that they could not escape by walking, so they had to hope that their boss would be able to treat their families well after they escaped, so they shouted: "Two sirs, we will do our best to help you open a retreat..."
Zhang Fushun rode on the war horse, with a higher vision. After looking around for a few glances, he found that there were almost no bandits in the west, and only a few bandits were detouring to the west, but did not form an effective encirclement. If he rushed out from there, there would be a chance. So he pointed to the west and shouted: "Rap towards that side!"
"yes!"
A hundred soldiers of the family started to ruthlessly and rushed westward with their heads silenced. Countless bandits came from behind, and the sound of the bow strings of the hunting bow vibrating. Several soldiers of the family were caught in arrows behind and rolled to the ground. Several soldiers of the family ran too slowly and were stabbed to death by catching up and spears.
Wu Yan was a civil servant who had been living a peaceful life in the capital, playing with his pen, impeaching his colleagues, and doing some knowledge in his stomach. If Emperor Chongzhen had not appointed him as the imperial envoy, he would have had the opportunity to experience such a cruel and tragic scene. He was so scared that he could not even do the movement of slapping the horse and running away, and his arms were trembling.
Zhang Fushun sighed deeply, reached out to pick up Wu Yan's horse reins, and the two of them rode their way out of the camp...
If you want to say that the things like the servant soldiers are not really covered. Although the bandits are cruel and the officers and soldiers around are all in a mess, these hundreds of servants are still very strict and do not mess at all. Finally, they protected the two Shangguans and rushed out of the ambush circle of the bandits...
Looking back at the chasing soldiers, the servants reported to the boxing: "Two adults will go first when they beat the horse, our palace behind..."
Zhang Fushun looked at the group of veterans who had been with him for many years, and was a little reluctant to leave, but Wu Yan no longer cared about anything else and ran towards the west with a clamped horse's belly.
