Come to Daming with military supplies

"General, I said that I have found a suitable place to cross the river. As long as it works well, I may be able to catch the opponent by surprise." The commander continued to speak excitedly.

Grand also became a lot more excited, and his body even trembled a little, "What you said is true, the river bed in that place is indeed not high, so you can let the horses gallop?"

"Yes, some of our brothers have lived here since they were young. I heard from them that they tried to cross the river on horseback when they were young. They knew where the river bed was higher and suitable for cavalry. They tried it on purpose just now. The discovery has not changed. Presumably this secret is only known to the locals, and it is reasonable for the mercenaries to oppress us grassland people for the first time, and they don’t know these things.”

This time, the commander not only told the source of the news, but also helped analyze the shortcomings of the mercenaries.And all this heard in Grand's ears, and he couldn't stop nodding. "Okay, okay, it's really God's blessing, haha, that's the case, make arrangements to cross the river at night, and then kill the other party by surprise."

"Yes, General." The commander also said extremely excitedly.If this battle can be won, he will undoubtedly have made a great contribution.

But at this moment, neither of them intended to send the news to Mr. Agadorji who was waiting for the news.Perhaps in their view, any rhetoric is far more real and effective than the facts.Or maybe, they were worried about repaying the matter, and the lord would send other people to carry out this task, just like he might send his unsatisfactory son Harara to lead the army. If so, wouldn't all previous efforts be for naught?

No one was notified, but some commanders in the army were called together to agree on the plan for the night.Although the position of the river bed is higher, the purpose of crossing the river with a raft can be omitted.But after all, walking in muddy water, I heard that areas with high water levels can submerge the horse's legs. Under such conditions, bring as few things as possible, so that the speed of the horse can be faster, so as to achieve the effect of surprise.

"Order, except for the necessary saber, throw all other things by the river side if you don't want to take them. Wait until you break into the city of Shi. If you don't have any good things, you don't care about throwing them away. Something?" Grand made a decision angrily.

Faced with this decision, no one actually refuted it. Perhaps everyone had already decided that this victory would belong to themselves the moment they learned that they could ride across the river on horseback.But if they had heard the historical story of the flooding of the Seventh Army, they might not be so optimistic.

In the military camp of the Independent Regiment three miles away from the bank of the West River, Humang, the head of the regiment, was staring at a simple sand table in front of him just like the young master.Standing in front of him was a battalion commander who was reporting the enemy's movements.

"Commander, the other party did not go looking for a raft, but set up a camp and started cooking. It seems that they may have fallen for it." When the battalion commander said this, he was a little excited and his eyes were flying.

"Huh! Of course they will be fooled. This is the strategy that the young master has decided." Humang said confidently, and then asked with concern: "Has the upper reaches of the West River made arrangements? As long as the signal is fired When it is lifted into the air, the gate must be opened in time to release the water.”

"Regiment leader, please rest assured that the deputy head Xin Honghai who is carrying out the mission over there will definitely be fine."

"That, that's good. Tell the soldiers to go to rest and prepare to catch fish at night." Humang's eyes once again showed a strong confidence.In his eyes, the [-] cavalrymen coming from the opposite side were already caught in the net and eaten on the plate.Both sides have their own arrangements, and are waiting for the arrival of the dark.In the weather at the end of July, the days are always long and the nights are short, and it gets dark very late. It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that the sky completely turned dark, and finally Grand's side began to move.

With the help of the cover of the night, Grand's cavalry began to divide into two groups and march towards the West River.Under the marching route chosen long ago, cavalrymen one by one entered the water like dumplings, and the sound of plopping was endless.

"Be gentle, don't make the other party alert, and don't light the torch, let others discover our actions." Some centurions reprimanded the cavalry under them in a low voice, and then went down the river cautiously.

Their actions were indeed very careful.I don't know, there is a kind of telescope called night vision goggles, which has already seen their every move.The poor cavalry thought that what they were doing was ignorant of the gods and ghosts.In fact, every step was shown clearly.

"Captain, the other party has started to move." Beside a mound of dirt, a soldier whispered to Humang.

As the head of the independent regiment, how could Humang feel at ease if he didn't see such a major event with his own eyes.So this time he came in person and watched the enemy's cavalry begin to enter the river with his own eyes, all the worries in his heart disappeared at this moment.

"Well, don't worry. When their main force reaches the middle of the river, they will release the water and open the gate. Hehe, it will be very exciting then." Humang's voice was full of relaxation and comfort.

The West River is about thirty feet wide, although due to climate and environmental reasons, only when the summer rainy season comes every year is the real water source sufficient.But the distance of nearly [-] meters is still in the water, which is enough for them to walk for a while.

In order to achieve the goal of surprise and one hit.Grand had no intention of probing, and made a decision that all the troops would enter. After calculating the exact positions of the two higher river beds, he pressed all the cavalry up. It was obvious that this time he was determined to , I want to rush into the other side of the river in a vigorous manner, and give the mercenary cavalry there a heavy blow.

There were more and more cavalry going down the river, and it went smoothly after a closer look. Although the deepest point was nowhere near the four hooves of the horses, people were fine in general. After making preparations long ago, the cavalry They all held their riding boots in their hands, even if their feet were a little wet, it would have no effect.

The first cavalry was less than 20 meters away from the shore, and the river began to become low again, and the army behind was pressing on one after another. Finally, when the first cavalry had leaped ashore, all subsequent cavalry dismounted Even General Grand himself went down the river under the protection of several personal soldiers.

"Fire the signal flare." Seeing that all the enemies had entered the urn, Humang, who was hiding on the other side of the river, finally gave the general order to attack. A soldier of the independent regiment beside him immediately took out the signal gun that he had prepared long ago. A signal was suddenly sent to the dark sky.

"Oh!"

A loud gunshot broke the tranquility of the night, and also broke the dark shackles of the night, replaced by a bright light like daylight flashing in mid-air, as sudden and bright as a meteor appearing.

Chapter 7 and Six

"What's going on?" Instinctively, all the cavalry in the river and those who had landed on the bank couldn't stop looking up at this moment. They couldn't figure out why there was such a bright white light suddenly appearing in the darkness. ?What exactly is going on?Could it be that the gods have manifested themselves?

The white light slowly flew towards the sky, but when it was exhausted, after rising to a certain height, it finally began to fall slowly, like a meteor, falling in mid-air, and then the earth returned to darkness. time.

Although Bai Guang was not there, for some reason, everyone felt a bad feeling in their hearts.Those who were ignorant naturally did not know that this was a signal flare, which meant that the mercenaries were about to launch a general offensive.I just told them intuitively that this sudden sign was not a good sign.

As soon as the bad feeling came out, it was quickly confirmed. First, a slightly anxious but unspeakable voice rang in my ears.The voice went from very soft at first, to very clear later, until the voice became louder and could no longer be restrained.

"Not good!" Some people in the crowd knew some water skills and lived by the river since they were young. Their expressions changed suddenly and they suddenly shouted: "It's the sound of the river rushing. We have been tricked. The upper river must have been blocked before." Hold on, now the sluice is suddenly opened to release the water. Quick, let's rush to the other side of the river, quick!"

"Hurry up, rush over and you will survive, otherwise you will definitely die if you stay in the water with such a big wave."

"Rush to shore, quick."

Obviously more than one person understood this truth, the sound of running water became louder and louder, and finally all kinds of shouts followed.It's just because there are too many people shouting, it's not so clear to hear.Those who understood clearly drove their horses with all their might, while those who did not hear clearly stayed there in a daze, looking around blankly, as if they were still waiting for someone's explanation.

"Wow...wow...wow..."

The sound of the river flowing is finally getting closer and closer. The most intuitive reaction is that the river water that could only submerge the four hooves of the horse before suddenly reached the waist of the horse, and then submerged the entire horse, and even the cavalry on the horse were crooked , fell into the river with a plop.

And such scenes happened more and more, and many soldiers who had no time to react fell into the river in fear.And in such a turbulent river, and it was night, even some soldiers with good water skills would hardly be spared.Not to mention that many cavalrymen's feet were still hanging on the stirrups, which greatly hindered their actions. The moment the horses were washed down by the river, it had already indicated that an unknown number of cavalrymen had fallen into the trap of death.

Under the pressure of death, more and more cavalry used their potential and rushed to the other side of the river desperately.However, the distance of less than a hundred meters did appear in front of them like a gap at this time, giving them a feeling that they were close at hand and yet far away.

And even those cavalry who rushed to the front and were fortunate enough to have landed did not feel safe because of this.On the contrary, after they had exhausted all their strength to reach the opposite bank, what awaited them was a burst of bow and arrow attacks like dense rain.

Under such indiscriminate bows and sharp arrows, few people could truly survive.A few very lucky people rode their horses, broke through the rain, and were about to come to the independent regiment soldiers who had been waiting on the opposite side for a long time. Hundreds of muskets with bullets already installed were waiting for them , waiting for the scene that beats them into a hornet's nest.

Grand was lucky, but he realized something was wrong just after getting down the river, and retreated back under the protection of several personal soldiers. He was the lucky one among the 5000 people.When the river suddenly rose under human control, his face turned pale, and he kept repeating, "It's over, it's over, everything is over."

Of the [-] cavalry team, only he and the eight soldiers around him escaped in the end. The other brothers either died in the water or died under the strong bows and muskets of the mercenaries.

And from the beginning to the end, they didn't even see a single figure of the other party clearly. From the beginning to the end, they didn't even have the chance to brandish their sabers and fight the other party head-on.Five thousand cavalry were finished in this way.

"General, let's retreat quickly. The enemy will come on rafts soon, and it will be difficult to retreat at that time." The eight soldiers also said with ugly faces.The scene in front of them also made them feel scared, but they couldn't think too much at the moment, leaving here as soon as possible is the kingly way.

"Okay, get out, get out!" The upper gum hit the lower gum. Although Grand was very reluctant and even wanted to take another look, he knew that with the total of nine of them, staying here was useless. necessary.It's better to report the situation here truthfully, and at that time, he will accept his fate whether he is killed or cut.

Grand escaped, and not long after he fled with eight personal guards, Xin Honghai, the deputy head of the independent regiment, led a battalion of four hundred cavalry to kill him.They opened the gate first, and after releasing the water, they rushed towards the shallowest side of the upper reaches of the river.

Not a single enemy cavalry was found, but all kinds of supplies were thrown all over the place, including a lot of combat equipment such as horse scabbards and quiveres. These were temporarily thrown away by Grand and the others to reduce their own weight. The following military supplies.

"Hehe, it's not in vain. Pick up all these things and bring them back." Amidst Xin Honghai's loud laughter, this battle was already coming to an end.

According to the subsequent data investigation, except for the eight guards who were taken away by Grand when he fled, most of the other 91 enemy cavalry were killed.Among them, about 4000 people rushed to the other side of the river, but they all died under bows and arrows and bullets. As for the other [-] people, at least more than half of them passed through the water ghosts in the West River, and most of them died.Only a few were lucky and had good water skills and escaped back.

"Hey, if it wasn't for the military emergency, if the main force of the enemy army would be killed tomorrow, I would really have the heart to watch so many war horses being washed away by the water, what a pity." In the end, he waved his hand and said: "Clean the battlefield, throw the enemy's corpses into the pit dug a long time ago, cut off their heads for observation, and bring the horses back to the city. Hurry up and deal with everything."

The moment Yang Chendong set up the strategy of flooding the enemy army, the outcome of the five thousand cavalry seemed to be doomed.They didn't know that what Yang Chendong was good at was dealing with the common people. One of the things he often did was to understand the customs and habits of the time after arriving in a place. How could he not know the structure of the bottom of the West River?This time, the purpose of damming the river ahead of time was to give the other party the illusion that they could cross the river.

Facts have also proved that the enemy was fooled, and what needs to be paid is the price of blood and life.

Humang led the independent regiment to finish the first battle smoothly, killed five thousand enemies without hurting a single person, and seized countless war preparations. They waited for the moment when they entered the city at dawn, and they were treated like heroes returning.The people in Shicheng even spontaneously came to both sides of the streets in the city to celebrate and cheer.

They already knew that Agadorji led nearly [-] cavalry to attack Shicheng.The grassland people who knew this person were naturally afraid. They didn't think that this person's arrival would bring them any good luck. They were worried whether the mercenaries would be able to successfully defend the city and continue the good life that had just started.

Now with the beautiful battle of the Independence Regiment, they can finally let go of their high-hanging hearts.

On the streets of Shicheng, in front of more than 1 people in the city, Yang Chendong came out to greet him in person, and even ordered people to push over five large carriages of gold and silver treasures. .

Yang Chendong also announced on the street that no matter who they are, no matter what nationality they are, as long as they sincerely join the mercenary army and perform well on the battlefield, they will all be rewarded and have the possibility of being promoted and become a glorious general.

Facts speak louder than words.When the five carts of white flowers and golden gold and silver were released on the street and distributed to the officers of the Independence Regiment truthfully in front of everyone, the more than 1 people around were deeply stimulated.
