Chapter 290: Raid Camp
"Everyone, please answer, it's impossible! If I knew those Ming soldiers were Yulin Guards, how could I hide it from you? We are allies, brothers. How could I do something that hurts my relatives and makes my enemies happy?
"
In the hastily built Tatar camp opposite Zhoudengbao, Bo Chengen, who was 'invited' by a group of Tatar leaders on the pretext of discussing military affairs, had a look of grievance and injustice on his face at this moment.
However, this time, no matter how Guo Bosuien tried to defend himself, the Tatar leaders of the coalition no longer believed it.
"Master Bo, don't tell secrets in front of others! It's not impossible for you and your son to use us to help you conquer the country. After all, we are all members of the same clan, and we do have something to ask of you. But you
Father and son can't treat everyone like fools, right? You know clearly that this Ming army is the Yulin Guards, but you still deliberately concealed it..."
Looking at Bo Chengen, who looked sincere and innocent, Tezge, who had previously analyzed the identity of the Ming army on the opposite side, directly exposed the idea of Bo Chengen and his son taking advantage of everyone.
"Everyone, you have really wronged me. I..."
"Regardless of whether you are wronged or not, Master Bo, if you still want everyone to help you and your son win the country, you should show some sincerity!"
Directly interrupting Bo Chengen's sophistry, a Tatar leader began to force Bo Chengen according to the previously discussed 'plan'.
"Meng Ke'an replied, if you have anything to say, please just say it. As long as I can do it, brother, I will do whatever it takes!"
…
"Young Master Bo, there is a saying among the Han people that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters! There are only a few thousand Han soldiers. When you and your son take over the entire town of Ningxia, how many Han soldiers will you need?"
Seeing Bo Chengen's reluctant look, Terige, the leader of a small tribe who had just assumed the role of 'strategist' among the leaders of the coalition, looked at Bo Chengen with a joking face.
"What's more, in this attack on the camp, you just sent a few thousand troops to cooperate. The real main force is still the troops from our tribes. After all, Master Bo, you have not suffered a loss!"
It turned out that under the pressure of a group of Tatar leaders, Bo Chengen, who was trapped in the "allies" camp, had to send his remaining 4,000 rebels to follow a group of Tatar cavalry to attack the camp.
Although they were said to be 'following', in fact these more than 4,000 rebels were used as cannon fodder and shields, and were driven at the front of the attacking team by the Tatar cavalry.
…
"Look, it's such a dark night, what a great opportunity to attack the camp. Why are these Tatars too timid to come? It seems that our mines were laid in vain. We have to be careful to recover them tomorrow!"
Looking at the darkness that was getting darker as dawn approached, several Habayashi Guards soldiers sitting in the trenches couldn't help but murmur in a low voice with regrets on their faces.
"Do you think these Tatars escaped during the night?"
"How is it possible! We are so close. Tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry want to escape without being noticed by us, unless they don't want their horses. Otherwise, it is just the sound of horse hooves..."
"Boom boom boom..."
Just when several Yulin Guard sergeants were discussing whether the Tatars would run away overnight, suddenly, a series of continuous "thunder" sounds suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
"These cowardly Tartars are finally here, hahahaha!"
Facing this 'thunder' that shook the soil beside the trench, how could the Yulin Guards not know that the serial mines they had laid before had been triggered!
"Tsk, tsk, this mine is indeed a good thing that even made Emperor Chengzu suffer. This battle sounds much more enjoyable than the grenade!"
Listening to the loud 'thunder' sound that kept ringing in their ears and the neighing of Herod's horses, several officers of the Yulin Guard who came from a distinguished family couldn't help but express emotion on their faces at this moment.
"Beep beep beep beep..."
Not long after, as the last sound of 'thunder' disappeared, a series of rapid whistles sounded throughout the entire Yulin Guards' position.
"Brothers, let's get to work!"
Hearing the whistle, all the soldiers of the Yulin Guard also joyfully picked up the blunderbuss in their hands and aimed at the dark front of the trench.
"That's not right, brothers, listen, except for the neighing of injured horses, why is there no wailing of the Tatars? It's impossible that all the Tatars who attacked the camp were killed by such a coincidence, right?"
Listening to the constant neighing of the horses on the battlefield, many soldiers couldn't help but look puzzled. "Herod... rumble, rumble..."
Just when a group of Yulin Guard soldiers were surprised that there were only war horses neighing but no human voices wailing on the battlefield, another burst of war horses neighed, followed by the thunderous sound of horse hooves.
"Herod..."
Soon, with the whining of the horses, the Tatar cavalry attacking the camp rushed to the horse trap area arranged by the Yulin Guards. Many horses whose legs had been broken began to fall, and even the horses behind them were constantly tripped.
Fall to the ground.
However, the horse trap could not stop all the war horses. With the support of the huge number, many war horses finally rushed through the horse trap and rushed towards the Yulin Guards' position.
"Get ready to fire... grenades, hurry up, we have them all, change the grenades!"
Seeing a war horse break through the first line of defense of the horse pit, Zhao Xi, who was about to order the cannon to fire, couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and the order immediately changed from the cannon to a grenade.
No way, on the backs of these horses that broke through the defense line, there was not a single Tatar cavalry at this moment, but only crazy horses running wildly.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
As grenades that had not been used against the Tatars were thrown one after another, and with huge explosions, those crazy horses were finally stopped about ten steps in front of the first trench of the Habayashi Guards.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a crisp sound of gunfire sounded, and in an instant, many Yulin Guard soldiers were hit by projectiles and fell in the trenches.
It turned out that while the Yulin Guards were dealing with those crazy horses, at some point, Be Chengen's rebels took the opportunity to come up with blunderbuss.
"Beep beep beep... beep beep beep... half-kneeling position, three-stage rapid shooting!"
Seeing that dozens of his soldiers were knocked down in an instant, the angry Zhao Xi didn't care about hiding his strength at the moment, and immediately issued an order to let go of his hands and feet to attack.
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Soon, after receiving the order from Xi to let go, the soldiers of the Yulin Guards, who had been holding back their anger for a long time, immediately opened up their firepower and fired vengeful projectiles at those who had been exposed.
Chapter completed!
