Chapter 99 Think beautifully, do more beautifully

Wu Zheng thought beautifully.

But Wu Zheng did not hear that Chen Sheng was.

What I heard was, "Sir, here we are!"

Wu Zheng quickly turned around and followed Chen Sheng's gaze and saw a row of black shadows appear on the ridge of Pinggang Mountain.

Then there are two rows, three rows... until they are countless.

Wu Zheng was shocked. There were already a thousand cavalry in the Three Realms. Where did this enemy army come from?

Could it be that the enemy has broken through the Qiantang River defense line?

Could it be that Fang Guoan really surrendered to the enemy?

But the battlefield cannot be thought about Wu Zheng. Pinggang Mountain is not high, and the enemy's rushing down from the ridge is at most a stick of incense.

Wu Zheng quickly ordered that the entire army hide according to the established plan.

The place where the Ming army was ambushed was a piece of farmland at the foot of Pinggang Mountain.

Empty and flat.

Behind the farmland is Laohuai Village, which is a small village with more than 200 people.

Three days ago, when Wu Zheng led his army to arrive, it had been evacuated.

The dozen or so villagers and old men were walking back and forth in the village. Wu Zheng drew more than a dozen people to pretend to be.

But why didn’t Wu Zheng set up the ambush in a village instead of in an empty farmland?

That was when Wu Zheng saw the uneven straw stacks in the farmland, he made a sudden idea.

The straw at this time is an indispensable material for the daily life of the people.

It can make fire.

Many people can’t afford charcoal. Even if it can be used, there are substitutes that don’t cost money, so they will naturally not miss it.

Therefore, when the people cut the rice and cut the millet, they will pile the straw in the fields.

It is built into a cylindrical shape, with a tower at the top, like a barn.

To dry the straw, then move it home to burn it.

The straw stack is about two people tall.

When Wu Zheng saw these straw stacks, he came up with a good idea.

So, the Ming soldiers were ordered to ambush the back of each straw stack.

Even if the enemy looked down from the ridge, they could not see the ambush on the back of the straw stack.

In fact, the Ming army's intelligence is indeed wrong.

There were originally three thousand Tartars who entered Shaoxing Prefecture.

When he arrived in Zhuji, the Zhuji County Magistrate led the crowd to surrender.

So, a thousand Tartars stayed, one for the response, two for the retreat, and three for the plunder of people's wealth.

However, because of the surrender of Zhuji County Magistrate, the Ming army received news from the fleeing people in Sheng County.

There were indeed two thousand Tartars who fled from Zhuji to Sheng County. They attacked Shangyu and Xinchang along the way, but the Ming army did not know that there were still one thousand Tartars left in Zhuji.

In the first battle of the Three Realms, the Tartars returned in vain and met with the Tartars who remained in Zhuji.

After the guidance of the guidance, this policy was formulated.

One thousand cavalry attacked the Three Realms again, while another thousand cavalry abandoned their horses and crossed Pinggang Mountain, forming a force of attacking the Ming army from the east and west.

This plan is not unreasonable.

The Ming army was originally a major general, and was unable to set up defenses in such a mountain village.

In addition, the Tartars have always appeared as cavalry, who would have thought that they would abandon their horses and cross mountains and hills?

The time for a incense stick passed quickly.

The Tartars rushed down from the ridge panting.

They were not at all wary of the Ming army in such a small mountain village.

Even the scouts from this sect were not sent out.

It's not because they are stupid, but because they are arrogant, and more because they insist on having a guide.

They are in line.

If you want to die, this Tartar is the only one.

The place where they lined up and the place where the Ming army was ambushed was less than a hundred steps.

Their voices and commands are clearly heard.

Although Wu Zheng couldn't understand, Wu Zheng didn't want to say anything at this time, so that the Tartars could understand it.

Because of a sound, Wu Zheng knew that the Tartars would definitely understand it.

"Chir", "chir", "chir", "chir"...

It is like a bird's sing, but it is definitely not a bird's sing.

That was the call of death.

The Tartars lined up, facing the sudden, locust-like arrows.

The arrows came to them before they could even dodge their minds.

In an instant, more than a hundred people were shot to the ground.

But the Ming army had only had time to shoot the second wave of arrows.

Because it was face to face, the Tartars responded very quickly.

Even after being caught off guard, they still quickly dispersed before the second wave of arrows arrived.

Therefore, the second wave of arrows is far less rewarding than the first wave.

Only more than twenty people were shot overturned.

And at this time, the Tartars fought back.

Of course, the Tartars could not quickly organize a charge to counterattack.

No army could organize a charge in such unfavorable circumstances.

The Tartars' counterattack method was their strength - bows and arrows.

Their bows were taken from behind, pulled arrows from quiver pots, then bent the bow and put the arrows on the strings, shooting them out, like flowing water. In Wu Zheng's view, it was like a perfect art.

This is the gap. Wu Zheng brought the best archers on this trip, leaving all the crossbows in the Three Realms.

But even the best archers in the army are not as sure as those of the opposite Tartars...naturally.

This bow is like a Tartar, and it is most suitable to use an idiom like an arm to make a finger.

The third wave of the Ming army's arrows shot down only seven people.

But the counterattack launched in a hasty manner overturned dozens of Ming troops.

When Wu Zheng saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly shouted: "Retreat!"

So the Ming army turned around and ran away.

If you dare to say that you can escape, it’s not because the Ming army wants to die, but because there are uneven straw stacks to cover it.

This is also one of the reasons why Wu Zheng chose to ambush in the farmland.

But even so, more than a dozen Ming troops were still shot to the ground by the Tartar's sharpshooter.

But the same is true. The Tartars could no longer shoot the wheel because the Ming army had already run out of the range of bows and arrows.

Wu Zheng fled into the village with the Ming army.

It occupies several commanding heights that have long been confined.

After a while, a team of 300 people began to slowly move forward and tentatively.

As soon as I crossed the farmland and stepped onto the ridge, I welcomed the dense arrows of the Ming army.

After losing more than a dozen people, the Tartars had to retreat because their arrows were difficult to find their target.

With the cover of the house, the Ming army's disadvantage in archery was covered up.

The two sides formed a tactical stalemate and began a scattered confrontation that lasted half an hour.

It's funny that in the past half hour, none of the two sides were shot.

Half an hour later, the Tartars quiver was empty.

But the arrows brought by Mingjun were pulled by a car, so he could shoot as much as he wanted, unless the archer was tired and could not pull the bow.

But this phenomenon does not exist. After each Ming army sets three bows, they take turns to rest. How could it be tired?

The Tartars couldn't wait. They knew that if they didn't quickly defeat the Ming army, the reinforcements of the Ming army would arrive. After all, this was the hinterland of the enemy.

Under this mentality, the Tartars began to organize the entire army to charge.

They have shields and small round shields that cannot cover their limbs, but they can cover up vital points.

The lord general of the Tartars has determined that the number of Ming troops on the opposite side is not large, so with the advantage of their own numbers, they can completely break through the opponent's blockade.
