Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Chapter 142 Surprise Attack on Taiji Camp

The cold and windy grassland has always been desolate and empty, with grass stretching to the sky. The cold wind swirls on the grass tips. Amid the undulating waves, a team with faith walks through it with a determination to die.

The Mongolian horse takes its unique little steps, like flowing clouds and flowing water, carrying its owner forward.

Although Mongolian horses are relatively shorter than other war horses, they run smoothly and are easy to raise.

Two handfuls of bean feed, a pinch of salt, and roadside hay will ensure they have sufficient physical strength.

In particular, this kind of war horse is most suitable for long-distance raids, and can travel five to six hundred miles in a day and night. The Mongol and Yuan armies relied on this advantage to sweep across Europe and Asia and become the world's first empire.

One person and two horses swap horses with each other. Soldiers with excellent riding skills can even close their eyes and take a nap on the horse.

Along the way, if they encounter small tribes, they will be slaughtered immediately and mercilessly. When you encounter a large tribe, you will no longer be greedy for money and will avoid them.

Fortunately, on the prairie, it is so vast and so sparsely populated. If you don’t meet people, that’s normal. It's an accident when you meet people.

Coupled with the howling cold wind, if a person walks twenty miles away from his tribal camp, he is on his way to the appointment of death. If Jin Yiwei hadn't worked so hard to find them, it would have been difficult for you to rob a tribe.

They were deliberately avoided along the way and the news was not leaked.

At midnight on the third day, Lu Mou's team arrived outside Taiji Camp in Karaqinzhong Banner. Taiji Camp was dark, quiet and defenseless under the moonlight and stars.

Because the Haraqin tribes are in a semi-pastoral and semi-agricultural state, although most of them have settled down, they have not built cities according to the habits of the Han people. For them, there is no need or inconvenience in such a time-consuming and labor-intensive place where materials are extremely scarce. A strong warrior is the best city wall.

Therefore, the entire Taiji camp simply surrounded the yurts and some adobe houses with fences.

The dilapidated yurts and mud houses, like stars holding the moon, guard a magnificent palace. That is the Taiji Prefecture of the entire Karaqin Three Banners.

Four to five hundred years of construction have made it huge in scale, and there are four to five hundred years of exploitation and plunder accumulated there since the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

Lu Mou asked Qi Fei beside him: "Can the soldiers go into battle?"

Qi Fei shook his head: "Okay. But now is not the best time to launch a surprise attack. People are most relaxed around the time when the rooster crows. Especially on this cold and windy winter day, people prefer to huddle in a warm bed. Sleep in. So the best time is when the rooster crows for the first time."

"Okay, then let the soldiers sleep for a while. Remember, let the soldiers drink some wine so they don't freeze."

Qi Fei agreed and quietly stepped back to convey the order.

Patting the big white horse gently, the Dawan horse was the most humane, and knelt down docilely. Lu Jian wrapped his cloak tightly around him and got into Dabai's arms, keeping each other warm.

He carefully took out a handful of fried soybeans from his arms and handed it to Dabai's mouth. Dabai happily ate it in Lu Mou's hand. He finished it in three bites and stared at the sapphire-like bean. Big eyes, full of meaning.

He grabbed another handful and took it out. When there were only a few grains left in Dabai's meal, Lu Mou withdrew his hand and threw the grains into his mouth. Then he took out a small silver pot and drank a sip of wine.

The strong alcohol entered his throat, a line of fire hit his belly, and his body immediately warmed up. When he wanted to drink again, he grabbed the wine bottle with one hand: "Try a little to warm yourself up, drink more and get addicted. We don't want to see our prince become an alcoholic in the future."

Lu Mou smiled gratefully: "Let the soldiers drink a few more sips. Wine can not only warm the body, but also excite people. It can also numb nerves and improve the ability to resist blows."

Qi Fei nodded: "The war is about to begin. The soldiers are all experienced and they know how to measure."

Then he lay down on the grass again, wrapped his body tightly in his cloak, and continued to observe Taiji Camp under the moonlight.

The cloak is not actually used to draw wind. Its first function is to provide soldiers with bedding to keep warm in the wild, as it is now. And in battle, it can also block the flowing arrows behind it. It can be said that it is necessary for soldiers to march and fight.

In fact, no matter ancient or modern, everything on a soldier's body is not an unnecessary and flashy decoration. They all have their multifunctional life-saving effects.

Lu Mou whispered: "This time, we don't want cattle and sheep, and we don't want the property of ordinary herdsmen and common people. We are focused on capturing Taiji Mansion, and the gold, silver and jewelry there are probably enough. Therefore, as soon as we launched the attack this time, we ordered the soldiers to We used explosives to blow up the entire Taiji camp into a sea of ​​fire and stir up chaos. Then we attacked Taiji Mansion with all our strength, looted gold and silver, and immediately took us Han people and Han slaves with us, fled south, and crossed the Great Wall back to the Central Plains."

"You will finally understand."

In Taiji camp, the first cock crow sounded loudly.

Qi Fei suddenly stood up and shouted an order to countless pairs of snowy eyes in the darkness: "Drink up all your wine. Mount your horse and charge."

After drinking the strong drink, I could no longer feel the cold, only the fire burning all over my body.

Flying on horseback, the first division came from the left, and the second division came from the right. With the eagerness to welcome their relatives home, they stared at the blood-red eyes, bit their lips tightly, and fought towards the Taiji camp at the darkest hour of dawn.

Lying in bed, with his ears habitually pressed against the pillow, the Mongolian felt the tremor of the earth and heard the galloping of horse hooves. Although they were awakened, no one wanted to get out of the comfortable and warm bed. They all thought that it must be soldiers from the Qing Dynasty passing by. They didn't think there was an enemy coming.

Because on their left and right are the left and right banners of their own tribe, led by two Taiji Beizi, and to the north are their comrades in arms.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty strictly prohibited tribal vendettas, and no one dared to disobey the imperial edict of the Qing Emperor's master. Although the Ming Dynasty was the enemy in the south, did the Ming Dynasty still have soldiers who dared to fight?

Even when we hit their doorstep, they didn't dare to fight. They could only huddle in their turtle shells and watch us looting outside. Are you still going deep into the grasslands to fight against us? You are talking in your sleep.

Since it is concluded that the Qing soldiers are passing through the border, whoever goes out first will be the first to be arrested and serve the master, so it is even more time to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Just when everyone was about to fall asleep again, huge explosions woke them up completely. It was the Ming army, because only the Ming army had firearms.

Screams were heard outside, and fires soared into the sky. At this time, some soldiers got out of their warm quilts and came out to check on the enemy's situation, and more people chose to cover their heads with quilts.

Throwing explosive packets along the way, killing those ignorant, disheveled guys without weapons.

The sky is dry, the wind is howling, and the strong wind is rolling in flames. In the blink of an eye, Taiji Camp has been burned into a sea of ​​fire, tearing apart the darkness before dawn and shining the sky and the earth into a bright light.

The two armies dispersed, burned and killed, and soon met at Taiji Mansion. Lu Mou caught up and yelled at the warriors who were about to dismount and hit the door: "Use explosives to blow open the wall and rush in without stopping. Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Don't give them a chance to react to the organization."
