Chapter 669 Ambush Each Other
"Withdraw to Mengyang, leave an army behind, and ambush the enemy who may pursue." General Dongyu seemed to be quite cautious. Seeing that the Tongbi Pass could not be attacked for a long time, he took the soldiers back to Mengyang and divided a group of troops. A force of about six to 700 people was in the rear.

Once the Kyushu Army soldiers hoarded at Tongbi Pass go out to track them down, the rear troops will ambush them in the mountains and forests, and they will retreat to Mengyang after killing the Kyushu Army.

Seeing that the arrangement was in place, General Dongyu left with the main force.

Outside the Iron Wall Pass, there was a group of soldiers with only a thousand or so soldiers quickly shuttling through the jungle.They are Miao chieftain soldiers who have lived in the mountains for a long time. They are very familiar with the mountains and forests, and they walk like flying.Chen Yu, the Propaganda Envoy of Guangnan Prefecture, Zhang Fu and others who accompanied them were about to suffer some hardships. They were not bad in physical strength, but they were not familiar with how to save energy by walking in the mountains and forests.

"Our clansmen are the strongest fighters here, but we usually lack weapons. It is very difficult for us to forge slightly better swords." Nong Shaozhou, the chieftain of Guangnan who also came here, carried a bow and arrow on his back and wore Light Armor.

Although he hasn't killed for a long time, he still has the fierceness of his youth.In the Chief Secretary of Yunnan Province, there are a large number of chieftains, and it is too common to compete with each other for territory. These people who can serve as chieftain chiefs are not easy-going lamps, and they all have to work hard.

"I hope we can cut off their escape route in time, so that they don't escape." Chief Soldier Zhang Fu said, his body trembling.

He, the commander-in-chief, only maintains law and order. There are two to three hundred people, mostly to maintain the law and order in Guangnan Prefecture, to help the people deal with trivial matters, and to replace the disbanded chieftain army.But now that the Chief Secretary of Yunnan suddenly recruited soldiers on the battlefield, they volunteered to serve as Toungoo soldiers for the South Route Army to outflank and cross the border.

"Don't worry, they definitely didn't expect us to detour their rear left and right. We will win this battle." Chen Yu encouraged everyone.

"These tribesmen are all warriors who followed me among our chieftains. They were not ambiguous at all when they fought with the Shen family to fight for the land." Nong Shaozhou said proudly.

"Nong Shaozhou, you stinky boy, do you still want to fight? Speaking of which, our two families have been fighting for decades, and now I am not used to the sudden handshake." The Taungoo army also came together.

"Don't cut it, don't cut it. If you have the energy, it's better to cut down the Toungoo soldiers." Nong Shaozhou waved the treasured knife in his hand, "I've kept this knife for several years, and it's almost rusting. I don't know if I can use it again. .”

The Toungoo army attacking Tongbi Pass retreated thirty li.General Toungoo rode on one of the few standing horses, showing displeasure.Although Sihua and his gang, who were regarded as thorns in the flesh, were wiped out this time, the leader of the rebel army found the shelter of Tongbiguan, which will always be a worry in his heart.

"General, the ambush troops in the rear are fighting with the Yunnan troops. They really plan to take advantage of our retreat and chase us." A soldier from the rear galloped forward to report to General Toungoo.

"When we attacked the Tongbi Pass of the Ming Dynasty, we naturally slapped the face of the Ming Dynasty. Their emperor has always had the best face. If the guards did not chase after them symbolically, how would they explain to their emperor? I guess they chased them for five miles at most. , was intercepted by our ambush soldiers and fought for a while, and then returned to Tongbi Pass."

"However, General, it seems that the Ming Dynasty is no longer north of Tongbi Pass. They changed the emperor, and they have been changing in the past two years. I heard that a large number of chieftains have lost their power."

"It's just changing the soup but not the medicine. I guess it's not the same as it was 30 or [-] years ago."

General Toungoo seems to be very familiar with the military style of the Chief Secretary of Yunnan, and he is full of confidence.

After half an hour, another soldier from the rear came forward on horseback.

"General, more enemies have poured out from Tongbi Pass, from more than a thousand to several thousand. The ambush troops are ready to retreat quickly. Remind us to quickly retreat to Mengyang!"

General Toungu's face changed slightly, but he was still sure of his judgment: "They sent more soldiers out just to create momentum, don't panic."

Another hour passed, and this time the soldiers in the rear brought back even worse news.

"The ambush troops successfully set up an ambush at first and killed dozens of opponents. However, more and more soldiers of the opponent's exits have formed an anti-encirclement on the ambush troops. The ambush troops have been broken and are retreating!"

This time General Dongyu finally lost his composure, and his face became pale: "When will they dare to really start to fight back without asking the court for instructions?"

"What should we do now, our rear troops will retreat soon, and our main force may be implicated at that time." The deputy general beside him asked him, completely at a loss.

"If they really want to chase us, we might as well take this opportunity to give them a hard lesson. When the nearby troops retreat, if the Tongbi Pass enemy takes the opportunity to pursue us, we will set up an ambush for them and take the opportunity to destroy them! "General Dongxu's soldiers and horses were damaged, and a group of soldiers were killed at the bottom of Tongbi Pass, and he divided up hundreds of troops to ambush, leaving only more than 2000 people.

"Ambush again?! This is too risky!" The lieutenant felt that this idea was playing with fire.

"A soldier's risky move is like a sword moving sideways. Instead of losing, it is better to find a way to win." General Dongxu said.

Just when Dongyu generals were hesitating whether to lay an ambush again, suddenly there was a rain of arrows shooting out of the jungle!One after another, the cold arrows pierced the air!

The sharp arrows pierced through the chests of the unsuspecting Toungoo soldiers. The soldiers who were hit by the arrows did not know where the bows and arrows flew from before they died.

"Enemy attack!" The panicked Toungoo soldiers fell around, leaning on bushes and trees to block the rain of arrows from all directions.

General Dongyu used the iron sword in his hand to push away the arrows that almost fell on his door, broke out in a cold sweat, and almost died.

"Counterattack!" General Dongyu leaned against a tree trunk and called out to the soldiers around him to counterattack.

But they didn't know how many enemies there were and from which direction they were coming from, and they were full of fear.

In the jungle, an officer was using binoculars to observe the situation of the Taungoo army who was ambushed, and he showed a satisfied smile: "It seems that we are one step ahead of Chen Yu and Zhang Fu. We are the first to intercept the Taungoo army." Yes. We, the descendants of Prince Mu’s Mansion, want to prove to the world that we are not fed by the emperor, even if we join the Kyushu Army, we can still defend our honor with iron and blood.”
