Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

The Yanghe River was abundant in the Ming Dynasty, but at the beginning of the Little Ice Age, the upper reaches froze.If it is winter, the enemy can easily cross the ice.

But now it's the beginning of the spring flood, and horses can't stand on the ice. Therefore, this area is the only place to cross the river.

He didn't know how long he had waited, but Su Mu felt that his face was covered with mist, and he was so cold that he almost lost consciousness.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes in front.

"Here we come!" Everyone cheered up.

Hearing the sound, there were not many people and horses, only a few dozen riders.

Xie Ziran's expression changed: "It's a scout from the Tatars."

Indeed, if the person who came was the little Tartar prince, he would definitely send a scout.If Tanma finds out that there are many troops ambushed here, I'm afraid they will startle the snake.

Probably seeing his worry, Su Mu's heart moved, and said: "It is impossible not to be discovered by the enemy. Instead of waiting passively, it is better to send someone to lure the enemy, using the guard soldiers who stayed behind in Xuanfu Town In the name of this, the enemy will think that what they encountered is just a scout from the Xuanfu. This is the only passage for the little prince to return north, if he is afraid of exposing his possessions, he will definitely concentrate his main force and use the fastest time to rush over."

"That's a good idea." Hu Jinxue said in a low voice, "Zi Qiao, let me lead the soldiers and horses that lure the enemy along the way!"

Su Mu didn't look back, he just turned his eyes to the mist in the south: "Okay, I'll let you lure the enemy, get ready."

Hu Jinxue turned around and ordered to his side: "Team A, follow my orders."

There are 20 people in the first team of word A, which happens to be the establishment of a scout brigade.

Su Mu: "Be careful when you study."

Hu Jinxue laughed: "There is no one who can kill me yet. Besides, I will lead the striker to the battle later. Without me, Bai Dengying will not be able to win this battle."

While talking, there were whistles coming from ahead, high and low, it was the Tatars who were passing the signal.

Another gust of wind blew, and the fog in front suddenly cleared away. With the bright moonlight, we could see twenty or so Tatars on horseback coming out from the other side and splashing into the water.

I can already see the appearance of the Tatars clearly. Just like the Tatars I saw in Yingzhou last time, these enemies all have a flat face, the facial features are all flat, and the distance between the two eyes is very large. Showing a wolf-like fierce light.

The so-called scouts are mostly the most elite soldiers in the army.

As usual, these scouts did not wear armor, whichever was lighter, only a worn-out coat and a furry mink hat on their heads.

These twenty or so people all carried a riding bow on their backs, and the white feathers on the tails of the arrows were very eye-catching as they ran.

"Who is the visitor, do you know that I am a perfect left guard?" Hu Jinxue yelled loudly, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and rushed out with twenty cavalrymen first, with the bow in his hand wide open, and there was a "swoosh" shot out.

The Tatars obviously did not expect to encounter an ambush suddenly. The two Tatar scouts who had entered the river were hit by several arrows at the same time, and they screamed and fell off their horses.

The others also stopped entering the water at the same time, drew out their bows one after another, and shot across the Yang River.

The men and horses on both sides spread out along the river bank, displaying a wide frontal line.

For a moment, the air was filled with the sound of "咻咻".

People kept getting hit by arrows, because they were far apart, and the shooting of both sides was in a parabolic manner, so the lethality of bows and arrows was not great.Even if it is shot, as long as it is not in the head, heart, throat, etc., it is not fatal.

There were muffled humming sounds, and in a blink of an eye, the bodies of the unlucky people were already full of arrows.

Hu Jinxue was still shouting loudly: "Tatars, Tatars, hurry up, go and report to Lord Qianhu!"

In the process of shooting each other, more Tatars came, and in an instant, people and horses were everywhere, and the arrows shot to the north bank began to become denser.

"Ah!" A Ming soldier had an arrow in his eye socket, threw away the riding bow in his hand, and wanted to reach out to pull it out, but two more arrows came and shot him to death on the spot.

"Take the injured brother, hurry up, hurry up, and report to Master Qianhu." Hu Jinxue deliberately let out a panicked cry, and roared: "Let's go!"

He took the lead in turning his horse's head and rushed towards the woods.

The other twenty riders also ran back.

The Tatars on the opposite side thought that Hu Jinxue was just a soldier of the guard, and they were afraid that they would report back, so they shouted and rushed towards the river.

This time, it's all in action.

It has to be said that Su Mu's strategy worked very well.

On the surface, Hu Jinxue was just a soldier of Wanquan Zuowei. He happened to encounter Tatars during his patrol.

The Tatars seemed to have suffered an unprecedented defeat in Yingzhou this time, so they were forced to disperse and break through.

However, they were defeated by the main force of the Ming Dynasty.Moreover, it was Emperor Zhengde's personal conquest, which gave him a morale bonus.

In fact, the Tatars are still very arrogant in their hearts.Moreover, Hu Jinxue's scout team couldn't even catch the battlefield, so it was naturally garbage among the garbage of the Ming army.

Then, with a roar, the Tatars rushed towards the river at the same time.

Under the moonlight, large balls of river water were splashed by horseshoes, and those ice cubes that had not completely melted reflected strange halos under the moonlight.

In an instant, it was covered by the yellow muddy water at the bottom of the river brought up by the men and horses.

An interpreter beside him whispered the Tatar shouts to Su Mu: "Quick, rush up and kill that team of Ming dogs."

"If you let them go back and report the letter, things will be troublesome!"

"Rush, rush over!"

"Ignore it, it's just Minggou's team, rushing across the Great Wall in one go!"

"Don't worry, hurry up!"

……

The enemy yelled one mouthful at a time, and Su Mu could clearly see that the faces of the soldiers around him were full of strong anger.

His heart was also moved: the enemy shouted to chase and kill Hu Jinxue, and some shouted to pass through the border defense of the Great Wall quickly, obviously the opinions were not unified.

However, this can also show that the enemy came in a hurry, and the time was short, and they didn't have the leisure to send scouts to reconnaissance.In this way, the Baideng camp ambushing in the woods on the river bank does not have to be afraid of being discovered by the enemy.

……

However, this time, the enemy's entire army went straight to the north bank of the Yanghe River regardless, forming a white wave curtain in the river, which seemed to be really impressive.

Su Mu originally thought that the number of enemies was between [-] and [-], but the total strength of the Baideng battalion was [-], plus porters and military households, it was more than [-].The fighting power of the two sides is one to one, and it is an ambush again. This battle is naturally won.

Moreover, in the eyes of a modern person, five or six hundred enemies are nothing at all.

But seeing so many cavalry charge, he was still shocked.

There were about 700 Tatars who rushed into the river first, one person and two horses, and six to seven hundred people were crowded in a small river beach, and they moved forward recklessly. It really felt overwhelming.

As the Tartars approached the north bank, the sound of thundering hoofs and water filled the ears, and the voice of the interpreter was no longer heard.
