I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

Fang Yi pondered for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "I think this plan is feasible. We can split our troops into two groups. One group will secretly go south, bypass the enemy scouts, and set up an ambush on the road where food and grass must pass;

The other team attacked the Jurchen camp at night, luring their main force into pursuit, and then turned northeast and led them into Dalong Mountain.

Dalong Mountain is vast and there is nowhere to hide, so the enemy will pursue us relentlessly.

If they could just delay for half a day, the grain-intercepting troops would be able to return to Yunzhou safely.

Our army will go to Dalong Mountain to provide support in advance, but remember, this is just support, don't start a war lightly, our new soldiers still need to be tempered."

Upon hearing this, Wu Minbo smiled with satisfaction and nodded in approval.

Seeing that Wu Minbo also agreed, Fang Yi immediately made the decision: "Without further delay, I will lead a group to cut off the food supply. Di Qing, your group will be responsible for the night attack on the Jurchen camp. Remember, fight quickly and don't get involved in a tangled fight."

"As ordered!"

After the meeting, Fang Yi followed Di Qing and said, "Captain Di, please stay. I want to discuss the plan with you in the city."

Di Qing, the first person to respond to Fang Yi's call to go to war in the defense of Yunzhou, was very impressed by Fang Yi's bravery in the bloody battle. He smiled and said, "Very good, it's a good opportunity to ask for some more advice from the loyal and brave Lord."

The two of them walked into Di Qing's camp, talking and laughing. Fang Yi suddenly saw two familiar faces: "Ah Zhen, Xiao Qi, why are you here?"

"Greetings, Earl Zhongyong!" The person being summoned looked and was surprised to find that it was Fang Yi.

Di Qing asked curiously, "Do you also know Earl Zhongyong?"

Fang Yi was overjoyed: "They were one of the people who attacked the Jurchen baggage with me at night before."

"In that case, please join our discussion."

Di Qing waved his hand cheerfully, and this pair of brothers with extraordinary skills and reliable work have now become capable centurions under his command.

The group moved into the city, chatting and laughing about what had happened since the Yunzhou battle. They couldn't help but feel deeply moved, fortunately all the brothers were safe.

Fang Yi was particularly pleased and proud of the soldiers he had trained, so he said to Di Qing: "Brother Di, how about letting these two brothers come to my camp? My camp is full of new recruits, and so are they."

Di Qing was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "Lord Zhongyong, this is absolutely not allowed! They are my right-hand men."

"Brother Di, as compensation, I have selected several jars of the fine wine we looted this time for you. It is said that the wine drunk by the Jurchen royal family is fragrant, and only such fine wine can be worthy of you, Brother Di."

Although Fang Yi was the highest commander in the city, he mingled well with the other generals and joked with them freely.

Di Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Loyal and Brave Lord, it is not easy to cultivate talents!"

"Brother Di, if not this, I will have to use my authority!" Fang Yi pretended to be serious.

"Okay, okay, a higher-ranking official can crush people. Don't just stand there, don't embarrass me when you get over there. There are no cowards under my command!" After saying that, Di Qing jokingly kicked Chang Zhen in the butt.

Fang Yi laughed: "Thank you, Brother Di, for your help. This time I will bring back two more Jurchen beauties for you to add some fun to your drinking." After saying that, he pulled his two brothers together and left with laughter.

Di Qing looked at Fang Yi's receding figure with a smile on his face. Although he was reluctant to let him go, he knew very well that Fang Yi had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Being a young man, every battle would be dangerous. Most of his men were veterans, so it would not be a problem to transfer one or two away. Perhaps he could even take this opportunity to get a few jars of fine wine.

After returning to the camp, Fang Yi talked to the two again: "From today on, you will follow me and still serve as centurions. I need brave men under my command. Tomorrow we will cut off the food supply of the Jurchen tribe. This journey is indeed dangerous. Are you afraid?"

"Don't worry, loyal and brave lord. You have brothers to support you. What do you have to be afraid of?" Chang Zhen and the other man were also excited. After following Fang Yi for a long time, they realized that although this general was strict in training, he mingled well with the soldiers in private.

The next day, the sky was just beginning to break with the dawn. The borderland was already a bit chilly in late autumn. The square was crowded with people and silent, with only the occasional sound of horse hooves breaking the silence. All the soldiers looked up at their leader.

Fang Yi held a fine steel spear, wore a black robe and black armor, and looked majestic. There were two thousand cavalrymen on both sides.

This mission is not only to cut off the enemy's food supply, but also to ensure the safety of every brother.

"set off!"

Fang Yi led the way, galloping out, followed closely by Chang Zhen and Lu Qi, and two thousand cavalrymen followed the leader silently and left Yunzhou City. After more than a month of training, this group of new soldiers has begun to show their edge.

At the same time, Di Qing's army was also rushing towards the Jurchen camp.

Wu Minbo witnessed the two teams parting ways, with mixed emotions in his heart.

Even though Fang Yi was the Earl of Loyalty and Bravery, he still did everything himself. He was truly a rare military talent!

The ambush site was chosen in the northwest of Yunzhou City, in the Tianmu Valley, the most strategic place where the Jurchens had to pass to transport grain.

In addition, the terrain was open, making it difficult to set up an ambush, and the enemy could be seen far away with just a little awareness.

It is about a hundred miles away from Yunzhou. We march quickly and expect to arrive by dusk.

This trip was not like the urgent report from the post station that required them to gallop at full speed regardless of the horses' fatigue. Fang Yi and his team still needed to maintain their fighting strength.

According to intelligence, the Jurchens often traveled through the Tianmu Valley in the evening. If an ambush failed or the food supply team did not appear, they would withdraw immediately to avoid falling into a trap and being attacked from both sides.

Chang Zhen led elite scouts to explore the way, trying to avoid the Jurchen cavalry, and Fang Yi's army followed closely behind.

At dusk, Fang Yi arrived at Tianmu Valley on time, and then divided his troops into three groups, setting up a pocket formation. One group guarded the valley entrance, and two groups ambushed in the valley. Fang Yi, Chang Zhen, and Lu Qi each led a team, and the two thousand troops quietly blended into the night, and the valley returned to tranquility.

The Jurchen camp was brightly lit, and the Zhou cavalry broke into the front camp, catching them off guard due to the long-term peace.

However, the Jurchens quickly counterattacked, and Di Qing led the enemy deep into the territory and lured them towards Dalong Mountain.

When Nurhaci was discussing the siege with Urta, he frowned slightly when he heard the news.

His previous wounds had not yet healed, and he was furious, so he waved his hand and ordered his men to pursue.

Urta replied: "Great Khan, there may be an ambush. Thousands of people attacked the camp, which is suspicious. There must be something fishy going on."

"They retreated to Dalong Mountain, where the terrain is flat and it is difficult for them to hide ambushes. Even if there are any, we brave Jurchens have nothing to fear from a field battle. No need to say more, order our deputy general Korma to lead the cavalry to pursue them at full speed and strive to annihilate them completely!"

Nurhaci longed to have a decisive battle with the entire Yunzhou army to decide the outcome of the battle.

Uerta agreed with a wry smile. He had personally experienced the Yunzhou battle and knew the enemy's strength well. Seeing that the Khan looked unhappy, he stopped talking.

……

Golden Horse Valley.

A group of Jurchen soldiers transporting grain leisurely stepped into the preset ambush circle.

This path was as familiar to them as their own backyard. Not only did they not encounter any surprise attacks, they did not even notice a trace of unusual aura.

At the head of the team, a centurion was drunk and lying in a pile of food and hay, snoring loudly.

Among these grain and fodder carts, there was actually a prisoner cart hidden quietly, with seven or eight men detained inside - the "prisoners" they captured on the way, mistakenly believed to be spies from the Great Zhou, and were preparing to send them to the main camp to ask for credit and reward.

Suddenly, a rocket streaked across the sky and flew straight into the pile of grain and grass. Immediately afterwards, dense and rain-like rockets whizzed in from all directions, turning the peaceful valley into a sea of ​​fire in an instant, and the Jurchen cavalry was in chaos.

The centurion struggled to get up in panic, but all he saw was flames and no trace of the enemy.

"kill!"

The ambushes on three sides came like gods descending, and the battlefield suddenly became a one-sided massacre.
