Luo Xin looked down the mountain again, looking at the Mongolian cavalrymen, his eyes showed coldness. He made a total of [-] firebolts. In fact, these were not the firebolts of the Ming Dynasty, but the earth mines of later generations.Luo Xin is going to set up land mines for mine clearance.The so-called demining is to connect countless land mines into one piece through the fuse, and then ignite a main fuse, which will form a continuous explosion of landmines.

"According to our previous plan, you will take the infantry to lay a thousand land mines below, and I will take four hundred cavalry to the Yinlong River. After you finish the deployment, leave a small group of soldiers here to meet Alatan Khan When the defeated soldiers pass by here, light the fuse when the soldiers have passed one-third of the way."

"Yes!"

"After laying out the demining, immediately take the remaining [-] mines to the negotiated location outside Datong and hide them. After I finish laying out the arrangement at Yinlong River, I will go there to meet you immediately."

"Yes!"

"I'm leaving now!"

Luo Qing, Liu Shouyou, Zhang Cheng and Gao Wu whispered to Luo Xin: "Be careful!"

"rest assured!"

Luo Xin walked away from the ridge, and soon came to a dense forest, where the [-] cavalry from Taihang Mountain and Luo Qing's [-] cavalry had gathered there.Luo Xin got on his horse and let out a low shout:
"go!"

Everyone got on their horses and rushed towards the direction of Yinlong River.In addition to people, each horse also has boxes containing a thousand mines, buckets and slender bamboo pipes.

Drink the Dragon River.

Luo Xin stood on the bank of the river and looked at the completely frozen Yinlong River, and there was a thick layer of snow on the river.Luo Xin glanced around, then pointed to a river and said:

"Remove the snow from that river!"

Four hundred cavalrymen immediately jumped down from their horses, holding in their hands a snow removal board designed by Luo Xin, that is, a wooden board with a wooden stick nailed to it. snow cleared out.Then Luo Xin commanded [-] cavalrymen to start laying landmines on the ice, selected the mines to be exploded and placed them, and then connected the mines with slender bamboo tubes. Wax sealed.

It took an hour for a thousand land mines to be laid, and on the other side, Luo Xin had already smashed dozens of ice holes, and each soldier started to fetch water from the ice holes with buckets, and then poured water on the ice surface. , when it was too dark, all the mines had been frozen under the ice.The soldiers began to pick up the snow plows again and pushed the accumulated snow back to the ice surface. On the other side, Luo Xin threw buckets into the ice holes one by one. When the soldiers restored the ice surface to a piece of white snow, At the same time, those dozens of ice holes also froze again. Luo Xin covered the dozens of ice holes with snow, and then left five trained Taihang Mountain cavalry here, telling them to be Allah When Tan Khan's defeated army was halfway through, he lit the fuse, and then led the rest of the cavalry towards the periphery of Datong.

Datong General Military Mansion.

The newly appointed Chief Soldier Jiang Yingxiong looked solemn, even pale, with a hint of fear in his eyes. He looked at the scout standing in front of him and said in a serious voice:

"You mean that Alatan Khan led an army of 20 to march on Datong, which is less than [-] miles away from Datong?"

"Yes!" The scout's voice was also trembling: "This subordinate has seen the handsome flag of Alatan Khan."

"Did you find Ma Fang?"

On a high ground, Luo Xin was lying in the snow looking down at the 20 company battalion and asked in a low voice.

There was sparkle of excitement in Liu Shouyou's eyes: "We found it. They are twenty miles away from Alatan Khan's right, and we are on the left."

Luo Xin looked up at the sky and said, "We will do it at midnight tonight."

Liu Shouyou looked a little hesitant and said, "Ma Fang is still twenty miles away. If we do it tonight, they won't be able to help..."

Luo Xin shook his head and said: "I guess Ma Fang will also attack tonight. We want to do it before him. At that time, they should be not far from the camp of Alatan Khan. Even if they still haven't moved, see here Ma Fang will not let go of this opportunity. Besides, we still have a thousand firebolts in our hands. If we throw out this round of firebolts, Alatan Khan, who is not prepared at all, will panic, and we will not have too much trouble. Dangerous. Uncle Liu, the opportunity is fleeting. If Ma Fang is allowed to do it first, we will only be able to eat soup for this great achievement. This risk is worth taking. If a person dies, he will never die for thousands of years. Uncle Liu is timid?"

"That's a good point! People die and birds face up, and they can't die for thousands of years!" Zhang Cheng whispered: "It's just that these words are a bit vulgar, and they don't fit Mr. Luo's identity as a junior, hehe..."

Everyone laughed softly when they heard this, and Liu Shouyou also laughed softly: "Mr. Luo is willing to take such a risk, so why should I be afraid? I did it. It's just that Mr. Luo didn't go to the camp of Alatan Khan in advance. Bury that firebolt?"

"No way!" Luo Xin shook his head and said, "One is that it is impossible to determine the exact location of Alatan Khan's camp, and the other is that when Alatan Khan camps, he must dig the ground, which may expose the fire."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, Luo Qing said in a low voice, "How should Midnight act?"

"The remaining 20 firebolts are one for each cavalryman, and the remaining [-] infantrymen are picked out one for each. Let these [-] cavalrymen quietly lurk outside the camp at midnight, and then throw the firebolts into the camp, and then we will Lead the cavalry straight to Alatan Khan's central camp, throwing fire and thunderbolts as they go. All the infantry has to do is set fire to the Mongol army. Maybe we can crush him with only [-] cavalry [-] troops."

"It's very possible!" Liu Shouyou heard the firebolt that Luo Xin blew up in the yard before, but it was much louder than the firebolt made by the imperial firearms battalion, so he nodded and said: "In the dead of night, a Thousands of fire and thunderbolts exploded, and there is a great possibility of causing camp roars."

Luo Xin was taken aback when he heard this, he hadn't thought of this.The faces of Zhang Cheng and Gao Wu next to him changed, and Zhang Cheng turned pale and said:
"Mr. Luo, if the roar of the camp is caused and we are wrapped in it, I'm afraid none of us will survive."

Luo Xin also frowned deeply, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "After throwing the fire and thunderbolt, we don't rush to the camp immediately, but observe it from the outside. If there is a roar in the camp, we will kill the fleeing Tartars outside. , if there is no camp roar, but panic, we will take advantage of the situation and enter."

"it is good!"

"Back!"

Luo Xin said softly, and several people left quietly.
