Chapter 218: The moon strikes at night!
In the tenth year of Wanli, on May 16th, at the edge of the desert where the bright moon hung high, a large group of cavalry with more than 10,000 people and horses tied to their mouths was meandering forward unhurriedly in order to minimize the damage caused by the horses' hooves.
Vibrating sound.
It seems that this army is preparing for a night attack.
It is said that the night is dark and the wind is high, and the night is murderous! Under normal circumstances, a night attack should be carried out at the darkest time, preferably when it is difficult to see.
But this cavalry, who was preparing for a night attack, chose a night with the brightest moonlight in January.
There is no other way. This cavalry is equipped with all firearms and is better at long-distance "call roll" of the Yulin Guards. Therefore, the night attack proposed by Jie Sheng and Yang Shanshan was chosen on the 16th day of the month when the moonlight is the brightest.
.
"Uncle Guo, can we be the vanguard for this attack on the camp?"
After taking off the wooden stick in his mouth, the tall Yang Dengden asked Wang Bing in a low voice.
"this……"
Hearing Yang Shanshan's request, Wang Bing suddenly felt embarrassed.
It's not that he is reluctant to give up the first victory in the camp to Yang Shanshan and the others, but Yang Shanshan and the others are using cold weapons to fight at close range without the cover of night. If they go to kick the camp like this, they might be counterattacked.
Surrounded in the camp.
But on the other hand, if the camp is successfully defeated and the Habayashi Guards attack with their entire army when the enemy is in chaos, the battle will definitely be easier!
"Don't worry, Uncle Guo, it's just that the moon is a little brighter. The Tatars are already asleep, why are you afraid of them, hehe!"
Seeing Wang Bing's worried expression, he laughed in a low voice without fear.
"Okay! As for Brother Yijie and Brother Yang, the task of kicking the camp will be left to the brothers in Datong Town! But the two generals also have to promise the younger brother one thing. They will bring the younger brother's personal guards and let them
Use grenades to cooperate with you!"
In the end, Wang Bing finally agreed to Yang Shanshan and Hesheng's request to lead a team to camp. However, just in case, he asked Manhai and Shuerhaqi to bring more than 20 personal guards with them.
"Thank you so much, Uncle Guo, for helping me, haha!"
Holding their hands towards Wang Bing, the two of them couldn't help lowering their voices and laughing excitedly.
Just kidding, they have seen the power of Habayashi Guard grenades before. With that thing to help them, not to mention the bright moonlight, they will not be afraid even if they are asked to camp in broad daylight! “Bang!”
Under the bright moonlight, a crisp sound of gunfire sounded, and in an instant, a thunderous sound of horse hooves rang out to the north of Huoluochi's camp.
"kill!!!"
"Woo~woo~"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack...
The night, which was originally as calm as water, was suddenly pierced by the rumble of horse hooves and the cry of killing.
"Boom boom boom!"
As several roars louder than the sound of horse hooves rang out, the simple fences around Huoluochi's camp were like tissue paper, easily destroyed by the grenades thrown by Manhai and others from their horses.
"Kill!"
Then, along this opened gap, two thousand Datong Town Jingqi, led by Jie Sheng and Yang Dengden, suddenly poured into the Tatar camp like a flash flood and began to walk along the tents.
Get raging.
Speaking of which, Jie Sheng and Yang Dengheng are indeed two of the so-called "Four Brave Generals of Xuan Da Jingqi" under Ma Gui.
Even in the bright moonlight, which is extremely unfavorable for night attacks, the Tatars who woke up were still killed and ran away with their heads in their hands!
Then, after charging for a while, Jie Sheng and Yang Dengden reached a tacit agreement with each other and continued to expand the results of the battle. As a result, the personal guards sent by Wang Bing had to fight in Manhai and
The two men led by Shuerhaqi split into two, each following closely.
Unlike the Datong town cavalry who only focused on killing, the personal guards sent by Wang Bing to assist in the battle were more about setting fires. Of course, from time to time they would throw bombs into the crowded tent or the awakened Tatar crowd.
Grenades, that's what they should do.
Soon, under the night attack of two thousand Datong town cavalry, even with the bright moonlight shining, the Tatar camp howling unavoidably broke out. Countless Tatars began to cry for that inexplicable sense of security.
They trampled on each other and started killing each other.
Seeing that the Tatars began to roar in the chaos, and the goal of kicking the camp had been exceeded, Yang Shanshan and He Sheng also let out a long roar and began to kill in the predetermined direction that had been discussed long ago.
"kill!!!"
At the same time, around the chaotic Tatar camp, another burst of shouts of killing echoed through the night sky. The Yulin Guards sergeant holding a blunderbuss formed a thin skirmish line on three sides.
The encirclement method slowly pressed towards the camp of Huo Luochi and a group of Tatars.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
A moment later, while the roaring Tatars were still hacking and trampling each other, with a continuous sound of gunfire, the Yulin Guards had already begun to enter the Tatar camp.
"Ming Army, Ming Army is coming, run!"
As the muskets of the Yulin Guards continued to fire, some of the crazy Tatars who were in a roaring state finally woke up.
However, when they found out that the Ming army had entered the camp, the Tatars who woke up did not immediately go to the Ming army to fight for their lives. Instead, they twisted their buttocks, turned around and ran towards a place they thought was safe.
However, facing Lin Wei's blunderbuss, no matter how fast these people run, can they still be faster than the blunderbuss?
Therefore, compared to those Tatars who were still trapped in madness, these Tatars who were forced to wake up by the blunderbuss of the Yulin Guards died faster than those madmen!
"Brothers, take it easy and kill slowly. It's best not to wake these lunatics up, hahahaha!"
Looking at the Tatars who were still killing each other, some Yu Congwei officers were even deliberately slowing down their shooting speed.
However, no matter how crazy these Tatars were, more and more people began to wake up in the face of the continuous cannon fire from the Habayashi Guards.
"Brothers, stop now, the Ming army is coming!"
"Kill the bright dog!"
When these Tatars came to their senses, they were stunned for a moment. Then they waved their scimitars with red eyes and charged towards the Ming army with great courage.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
"Boom boom boom boom..."
However, the bravery was still no match for the cannons and grenades. Under the intensive shooting of the cannons by the Habayashi Guards, these Tatars were swallowed up by the grenades and cannons of the Habayashi Guards in an instant.
"Run quickly!"
Not all Tatars have that kind of bravery. Facing the powerful firepower output of the Yulin Guards, a sound of escape from an unknown source rang out. Just like the previous camp roar, these Tatars once again had a chain reaction.
In order to seize the unknown way of survival, these Tatars who became crazy again, while leaving their backs to the black hole of the musket of Habayashi Wei, once again waved their hands at the compatriots who blocked their way.
Chapter completed!
