Nine Hundred and Forty Fifth: Seized 3 Cities (3)
The night is low, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Hearing that the second prince was going to fight in person, the guards and staff around him felt that their brains were overwhelmed.
"The Second Highness's body is precious, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. If you accidentally hurt you, I can't explain to the king."
The guards around him persuaded him, and the staff next to him also echoed him, but the second prince has a self-willed temper and feels good about himself.
He said, "Gu followed the martial master and studied hard. Even the father and king praised Gu as a warrior in the northern border. How can Gu be greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Before he was an adult, he defeated his own martial arts master, defeated several sparring personal guards in a row, killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and brought back a lot of spoils every time... He is the partridge of Northern Xinjiang, The brave, powerful and fragile Yuan Ruobing can still hurt him?
Northern Xinjiang is not peaceful, and there are many voices inside.
If a small tribe develops too fast or does not obey the orders of the imperial court, it will inevitably lead to conquest by the imperial court's army.
However, this kind of petty fighting is not a big deal, and it is generally used to gild the second generation of northern Xinjiang nobles.
The second prince had led troops to conquer several times, and each time he won a complete victory, which made him inflated and complacent, and he couldn't even see his own ability clearly.
You say you are a prince, just stay in the rear and wait for military success, why bother to go to the front to cause trouble for others and make it difficult for teammates?
What kind of ability do you have, don't you have any B number in your heart?
The staff and personal guards went into battle again and again, not only did not persuade the second prince, but even provoked reprimand and insults from the other party.
In the end, he said stubbornly, "There is no need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind!"
The more people around him persuaded him, the angrier he became, and the more he wanted to prove himself with facts.
Liu Xijie's woman can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so he is such a brave man from northern Xinjiang, why is he not as good as a woman?
"Dai Gu personally arrested Liu Xi—" The second prince looked around and snorted lightly, which seemed to be mocking.
Although he is self-willed, the second prince also knows that his life is precious, and he will still follow the arrangements of his staff in some places.
He asked the vanguard to put on the costumes of Han soldiers and put on the banner of Jiang Pengji.
It's best if you don't run into the enemy. If you run into an enemy patrol, you can get away with it.
The night is dark and the wind is high, which is suitable for robbing houses.
The second prince ordered everyone to hold the wooden chopsticks in their mouths, and wrap the horse's mouth with a cloth, and no sound was allowed.
Twenty thousand soldiers and horses were divided into several waves, and marched towards Chao Wu along several paths on the map.
Because he had a detailed map in his hand, the second prince led his troops to avoid several waves of checkpoints, and the road was full of surprises without any danger.
Approaching Chao Wu's granary, the patrolling troops became denser, even under the cover of night, they were still caught.
"who?"
The second prince was in a hurry, and the vanguard officer beside him answered in fluent Mandarin.
"We were sent by Liuzhou Mu to reinforce the granary! Zhou Mu is worried that barbarians from northern Xinjiang will sneak attack on the granary."
This vanguard officer is also a talent. When he lies, he doesn't blush or breathe, and even shows a dignified look.
The night was too dark, and there was a distance between each other. The other party couldn't see how many people were there with the second prince, so they let them go after a few interrogations.
The second prince felt relieved, and immediately felt a bit of contempt, "But that's all—"
Perhaps the luck in the first half of the night had run out, and the second prince encountered several waves of patrols one after another, and they were more skillful in coping with them.
Before he knew it, he was delayed for half an hour.
At this moment, it was less than a quarter of an hour away from Chaowu Granary.
Compared with the smoothness on the side of the second prince, the other two roads don't have such preferential treatment.
They only met three waves of patrol soldiers on the road, and they also used lies to get past them, but they didn't know that the patrol soldiers under Jiang Pengji were different from other patrol soldiers. Before handing over to each other, you need to match the codes. If the codes don't match, you will be killed!
Of course, today is different.
The patrol soldiers were instructed by the higher-ups that if they meet someone who cannot match the signal today, they should not make a fuss and cooperate with the other party in the performance.
Beijiang thought that his actions were going well, but he didn't know that their actions were all in the enemy's expectation.
Lijiang granary——
Li Yun chewed the hay,
Holding a gun in his hand, wiping the tip of the gun with a cloth strip in the other hand, his sharp eyes filled with fighting spirit.
"Wan'er, Nuan Nuan, wait for me to go back!"
Li Yun threw the wiped cloth aside, and the hurried footsteps of his subordinates were getting closer.
"Lieutenant Li, the enemy has formed an array to surround the granary!"
"Just in time!"
Li Yun stood up straight, grasping the white reins of the horse, turned on the horse neatly, and raised his gun in his hand.
"Send troops to meet the enemy!"
At this time, the sound of fighting was already heard outside the granary, and two thousand cavalry rushed to the Lijiang granary.
"rush!"
According to past experience, the defense line of the granary could not withstand their wave of charge at all, and it would collapse for thousands of miles.
Not to mention their sudden appearance, Chongzhou should be unprepared.
To meet the enemy hastily without preparation, it is even more impossible to block the iron hooves of their cavalry.
This time it's different——
When the cavalry in rattan armor formed an formation and accelerated their charge, the horse's front hooves suddenly stepped on the ground, and it fell forward with great inertia.
Groups of human heads emerged from the ground. They held unknown sickle-shaped weapons and slashed at the horse's legs, forcing the horse to fall forward in pain. After doing this, he immediately retracted his head to the ground, and repeated the old trick at the second echelon who had no time to react.
The granary in Lijiang was 200 feet away, and dozens of circular trenches were dug, in order to deal with the first wave of cavalry in northern Xinjiang.
The trenches are at irregular distances from each other, and even have ring waves.
In order to cover up the existence of these trenches, the open space was covered with turf, and with the cover of night, it was impossible to see the clues.
Close to the position between the granaries, dense barbed wire was sprinkled between the trenches.
Seeing this situation, the Northern Xinjiang team also realized that they were in ambush.
Lijiang granary is not a piece of fat at all, it is clearly a trap with fat!
However, the cavalry charged too fast, and the distance of two hundred feet was nothing at all.
By the time they realized the ambush and tried to retreat, the first batch of cavalry had already rushed to the granary.
"Want to withdraw? Did you ask me about the pistol?"
In order to meet the enemy conveniently, a half-foot-wide path was left around the granary.
At the same time, a similar scene happened in Sang Mo's granary.
Jiang Pengji has a restless personality, she doesn't like correcting books, she likes to go to war by herself.
The Northern Xinjiang side came to attack the granary, specializing in stealing grain. In addition to carrying combat weapons and soldiers and horses, their team also brought a large number of carts for grain transportation. The front team was defeated, morale dropped suddenly, and the soldiers and horses in the rear tried to evacuate.
Instead, the baggage cart became an obstacle to their cavalry, blocking them in place and unable to break out in all directions.
The combat quality of the northern Xinjiang cavalry is not bad. Although the performance in the rear is embarrassing, the remaining cavalry began to organize a charge to break through.
"Slaying the horse camp, step forward and form an array!"
The order was issued, and the sound arrow shot straight into the sky.
The soldiers of the Zhanma Battalion took heavy steps to resist the cavalry charge. Their heavy shields were scaled like fish scales, like a thick iron wall. Charge, and the crossbowmen scatter in the innermost.
