The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 128 Trap
Liu Zhilun looked at the high-spirited generals with passion.He said:
"Good job, all the generals dare to fight, and I will take the lead. I have decided to lead [-] infantry out of Zunhua Ximen to form an array. Ma Jinglue, Wu Zongbing, and General Huang, you should gather your cavalry to raid those arrogant enemy."

Ma Shilong, Wu Zimian and other generals applauded loudly, and they all stated that they would resolutely carry out the command of the general, and they would fight the enemy to the death.

Seeing that the generals were so angry, Huang Han had an ominous premonition in his heart. He really felt bad. What happened to these people? the right path.

Huang Han hurriedly advised: "Master Liu think twice, gentlemen, calm down, left-leaning adventurism is unacceptable, slave chieftains have been fighting since childhood, if they regard them as fools, it means that they are being foolish, and it is absolutely impossible to attack at this time!"

Wu Zimian was dizzy, and said: "Master Huang, can you say something that we can understand, what is left-leaning adventurism? Why is it risky for us to wait until the main force of slavery has retreated?"

Huang Han blurted out modern vocabulary, and didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he simply ignored it, and asked back:

"Is Jiannu really stupid? They know that the Zunhua garrison has thousands of cavalry who can complete raids, and they have succeeded several times. They will not take precautions? This is undoubtedly a trap. You can judge what Jiannu is hiding. Where are the large groups of people hiding in the valley?"

Liu Zhilun said: "Why did General Huang make such a judgment? You must know that our infantry went out to form an array, and the cavalry returned immediately after finishing the raid. When Jiannu learned that the transport team was attacked and killed, maybe our army would have returned to the city. Adventurous talk?"

"My lord, there is a problem here. Did the enemy choose to rush to help when they heard that the transport team was attacked, or did the enemy army directly attack our army with superior forces as soon as our army came out of Zunhua? The infantry formed outside the army city, and then surrounded our cavalry?"

Ma Shilong said: "Master Huang, what you mean is that those small convoys are just bait, and the enemy doesn't care about their lives at all. The enemy army has only one purpose - to lure our army out of the city?"

"Of course, Jiannu should have a plan this time. I believe that there are not only Jiannu sentries operating outside Zunhua City, but also many Liaodong Han spies around.

As long as our army leaves the city in large numbers, Jiannu should be able to get the news within half an hour. At that time, their cavalry will charge in a straight line and cut off our army's way back.

After destroying the main force of our army in the field, and killing generals such as Master Liu, Ma Jinglue, and General Wu, will it be too difficult for them to attack Zunhua? "

Liu Zhilun's brow was full of sweat, Ma Shilong's face was pale, and Wu Zimian's face flushed with anger, and he retorted loudly: "Mother, can you tell me something nice, Mr. Huang? How can I be so good at bowing horses that I am so easy to be killed by Jiannu?"

"Hey! Heaven and earth have the same power, and heroes are not free to be transported. Are the bows and horses of Zhao Lijiao, Man Gui, Sun Zushou, etc. the commander-in-chief? Are they not blood-sand battlefields with nothing to hate?"

"This... I'm not as eloquent as you, and I don't know how to drag words. I admit defeat, Mr. Huang, can we really go out and make a vote?"

"This is really impossible. They are not far from Zunhua and they are looking at us. I want you to take the Yansui army. Anyway, the humble 'Red Banner Army' chooses to stick to the city."

Huang Han, who had always encouraged the Ming army to participate in the war, chose to give up the battle. This attitude discouraged many generals who were enthusiastic.

Liu Zhilun pondered for a long time before saying: "General Huang's analysis and judgment are three-pointed, and I take it for granted. I am afraid that now is not a good time to attack. Your lords still need to cheer up and defend the city."

Huang Han said with a smile: "No, no, it is certain that the main force of slave building has retreated, and it is still necessary for our army to carry out attack drills.

I suggest that Lord Liu lead [-] infantry out of the south gate of Zunhua at noon tomorrow and return to the city immediately after forming an array for five miles.

The purpose is very simple, to kill Jiannu sentry horses, and capture all the common people encountered back to the city. If the common people don't obey and choose to flee, then they may be Jiannu's spies and beheaded directly. "

Wu Zimian said: "Since we are not going to attack the Tartar convoy, what's the point of sending troops out of the city? Wouldn't it be ridiculous if our army fails and Jiannu takes advantage of the loophole?"

Huang Han said: "Tomorrow we will clear out the spies in a radius of ten miles around Zunhua, and the day after tomorrow we can expand five miles to the outside, and then we can choose some targets for Jiannu to transport supplies. Besides, the people who lie in ambush by Jiannu may come tomorrow." It’s unknown if we tease it out!”

Liu Zhilun said: "What does General Huang mean by bluffing to exhaust the enemy?"

Huang Han said: "Of course, it's boring to be idle. Clearing out the enemy sentries within ten miles can more or less gain some gains, isn't it? Besides, it's interesting to tease those barbarians!"

"Hahaha..." The generals laughed out loud when they heard Huang Han's funny words, and their mood improved a lot.

The Houjin Army hid fifteen thousand elite cavalry in the mountains in the north of Zunhua, and three Baylors, Manggurtai, Azige, and Yuetuo, led the troops in person.

The three Baylors are very confident. They think that [-] Banner disciples are enough to defeat [-] Ming troops. As long as the Zunhua defenders come out, it is impossible for them to run away.

Originally they thought that the Ming army would have to lurk for a few days before they would take the bait, but who knew that the Ming army leader seemed rather stupid, but unexpectedly came out at noon the next day with nearly [-] paces.

Obviously the Ming army took the bait, and the three Baylors were ecstatic. They knew that if the main force of Zunhua was blocked outside the city and killed, it would be easy to regain Zunhua. Return the interest.

How to block the Ming army?The barbarians had negotiated a long time ago. Once the Ming army is dispatched, [-] fine cavalry will rush to the Zunhua city at the fastest speed and quickly control the vicinity of the four gates. Not allowing the Ming army to run back to the city is the first step, and it is also a matter of success or failure. The most important link.

After receiving the report that the Ming army had left the city, not only the three generals were inexplicably excited, but even the Jurchen cavalry under their command were enthusiastic, so [-] barbarians and [-] horses rushed out of the hiding place and galloped along the official road to follow. change.

Tens of thousands of horses galloping are magnificent, the earth is trembling, and the birds and beasts in the mountains are running away.

The bad Ming army just went out of the city to encircle and annihilate the Jiannu sentry horses within ten miles outside Zunhua as quickly as possible, kill or arrest the idlers, and then they went back through the city gate closest to the team.
