Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 956 Attack

Yaizhu also saw the fireworks in the sky.

He couldn't sleep at night these days, always worrying that the big fish in the net had escaped. Whenever there was any disturbance, he would wake up and come out to check the situation of Puding Fort. Only when you see everything is as usual can you breathe a sigh of relief.

So he saw the first fireworks, but this time it was not a false alarm, but something real.

Hearing the shrill warning sounds in the camp, and then the loud shouts of killing, the people who bit the pillars were numb. I don’t know where this magical general came from, how did he kill the Ming army from behind? Changshengtian, this is unreasonable...

However, because of the basic qualities of a general, he suppressed the panic in his heart and immediately ordered his soldiers to send orders everywhere for everyone to evacuate to the Chinese army tent. In order to reorganize the defense line, but also to ensure your own safety.

The Marquis of Yingchuan had predicted his reaction, so he changed his idea of ​​capturing the thief first and captured the king first. Instead of attacking the central army directly, he led his troops on a rampage, killing and setting fire everywhere without stopping, not even livestock. Let go...

When the soldiers of the Ming army rushed into the livestock shed, they not only set fire to the animals, but also untied the reins of the animals and slashed at the buttocks of the cows and horses, causing the frightened cows and horses to run around in the camp, creating even greater chaos.

This move has two purposes. One is to make the opponent confused about his true and false position and to confuse the enemy as much as possible. A rebel army, no matter how many people there are, they are just chickens and dogs, and they cannot pose a threat to them at all.

But if the other party finds out that they only have 2,000 people, they will soon calm down. Take advantage of their numerical disadvantage to organize counterattacks or even counter-encirclement.

Secondly, the enemy would not dare to reinforce the encirclement of Puding Fort because they could not figure out their own strength. In this way, the pressure faced by Muying's army would be much less.

However, Yingchuan Hou reacted quickly from the enemy's general and built a defense line at the position of the Chinese army. It can be seen that this time the opponent is not a pustule. It is impossible to defeat it directly.

Then we can only hope that Mu Ying can move quickly and lead the army out in time.

Otherwise, over time, the enemy commander will surely find that the number of incoming Ming troops is not large, and he will boldly send troops to support the defense line.

If Muying's side is blocked and the Yuan army at the mouth of the canyon sends reinforcements, there will be big trouble...

That's how risky it is in war. The higher the reward, the higher the risk.

If he had any distrust of the generals at Pudingbao, Fu Youde would not do this.

~~

Yaozhu was indeed frightened. Looking at the scene of chaos and fire in the camp, who wouldn't be confused?

Moreover, all the soldiers who escaped had abandoned their helmets and armor. Many of them didn't even wear shoes, let alone weapons... Not only the soldiers of the three tribes, but also the regular Yuan army also had this kind of virtue. He had to take good care of it. Only through reorganization can they regain their combat effectiveness and face the enemy again.

So even though he saw another firework set off over Puding Fort, he couldn't care less. He could only order his own soldiers to send orders to the soldiers on duty at the defense line to be on guard and wait for reinforcements.

What's more, based on his understanding of the barbarian soldiers, they wouldn't be able to assemble in less than half an hour. So let’s concentrate our forces first and stabilize the central army.

"Dad, there are flowers blooming again in the east..." At this time, Xi Tianbu pointed in the direction of the mouth of the canyon and made a fuss.

"I see..." Zhizhu snorted angrily, his face elongated and turned green by the fireworks.

But he was not worried about the mouth of the canyon. He already knew yesterday that the reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty had arrived, and nearly 30,000 defenders were waiting. It would not be a problem to stop them for ten or eight days.

So instead, he ordered his soldiers to quickly pass the order and let the deputy commander who was fortified at the mouth of the canyon escape, and immediately sent 5,000 regular troops back to relieve him.

But Yaizhu didn't expect that the chieftain soldiers from Puding Fort would assemble in just one meal and rush down the mountain screaming... much faster than expected. Soon, there were shouts of killing from the inner circle position, and the general in charge of the guard also sent people to ask for help.

"Our general said that the enemy is coming fiercely and we cannot hold out for long! Marshal, please send troops for reinforcements quickly!" the messenger shouted to him with an anxious look on his face.

"What kind of combat effectiveness can the chieftain soldiers have? Let your generals not exaggerate." Yaizhu said unmoved: "Tell him that my side was attacked by regular Ming troops. Once we fall, he will be attacked from all sides!"

"Ask him to hold on. As long as I can hold on here, I will send troops to support him..." He told the messenger again.

~~

In fact, it's not to blame that Yaizhu was too careful. This Ming army was really too fierce and invincible in the Yuan army camp. They cut melons and vegetables, and two thousand people were stunned to show the momentum of eight thousand people.

All the officers and soldiers who escaped were horrified and reported the terror of the Ming army. They were all tall and powerful, like wolves and tigers, and they were overwhelming and unable to resist...

Yaizhu asked about the number of people in the Ming army. Some said it was at least eight thousand, some said it must be over ten thousand, and some even said one hundred and eighty thousand... Even the most conservative statement was that it was more than the number of troops in their central army.

A total of 15,000 people surrounded Puding Fort. In order to maintain combat effectiveness, Yaozhu divided them into three squads and took turns guarding the position.

Therefore, when the Ming army raided, there were no more than 10,000 people in the camp. The Ming army was caught off guard and lost an unknown amount of money. Anyway, the officers and soldiers who fled one after another only totaled six to seven thousand, and there were also many local soldiers who were useless.

And they were all frightened. He was not confident whether he could defend against the attack of at least eight thousand Ming troops. How dare you divide your troops to support the inside line again. Not to mention going head-to-head with the Ming army who had less than eight thousand soldiers.

In Yaizhu's view, relying on the complete defense fortifications, the five thousand soldiers and horses were enough to stop the counterattack of the local soldiers in the fort.

Everything will be fine when our reinforcements arrive.

So he decided to stay still and wait for help.

It cannot be said that Yaizhu made a big mistake. The only blame is that he had thoughts that he shouldn't have and provoked the three princes of the Ming army to serve him.

~~

Inside battlefield.

Mu Ying has been condescending these days and has already thought through the Yuan army's defenses. He knew where only a small number of troops could be defended and where heavy troops were needed.

At this time, he confidently commanded the 20,000-reborn Shuidong and Shuixi troops, and broke into the weak points of the Yuan army's positions in three groups.

Moreover, the width of the temporarily dug trench was limited after all, so there was no need to bother filling it in. The bamboo rafts carried directly were placed on top to form a bridge.

After the bridge was completed, the soldiers rushed into the position with roars and began to move deer and firewood and demolish the walls of the village.

The Yuan army on the shooting floor naturally fired arrows desperately to stop them, but their troops were too few and they were suppressed by the Ming army's archers, so they could not cause much damage at all.

Relying on the strength of their numbers, the Shuidong and Shuixi armies quickly cleared all obstacles and roared into the Yuan army's position.
