Tuyang Mountain, the terrain here is not high. Except for Tuyang Mountain behind it, there is a plain land in front, where Aliku stationed his army.
He sent a lot of scouts to spy on the military situation ahead. Once he found out that the Yongle Army was coming to support them, they would definitely rush over and destroy the Yongle Army as soon as possible.
The place he chose had an excellent strategic location, allowing him to attack and defend. Moreover, it was also an important place leading to Jiangling City. If the Yongle Dynasty wanted to go to the rescue, they had to go through this area.
Therefore, as long as he defends this place, no matter how many troops the Yongle Dynasty has, they won't be able to kill him.
At this time, a few miles outside the Jin Army's camp, more than a dozen reconnaissance companies of the People's Army's vanguard force were dispatched. They went to eliminate the scouts sent by the Jin Army and clear obstacles for the troops behind them.
Only by clearing out the Jin Army's scouts could they sneak around the Jin Army's camp silently. Yunze's tactics were very simple, close the door and beat the dogs, then surround and annihilate them!
Including the Tuyang Mountain side, people from the reconnaissance company had already passed by, and the remaining 50,000 troops began to outflank the Jin Army camp in four directions.
At this time, facing three miles in front of the Jin Army camp, a dozen Jin Army scouts were spreading out and marching forward. Five or six hundred meters in front of them, a group of soldiers from the reconnaissance company were lying there.
They were soldiers from the eighth squadron of the seventh company of the 36th Regiment, a total of thirteen people. The weapons they held were rifles, and there were thirteen people on the scout side in front.
If they fired at this time, the thirteen Jin Army scouts would definitely be shot dead by them in an instant, but in this case, they would be exposed.
This will have a great impact on the entire combat plan. It is not that they have never encountered scouts before, but this is the first time they have encountered a scout team of thirteen people.
"Squad leader, what should we do? They have the same number of people as us. It will be difficult to deal with them all at once. But if we use guns, the Jin Army who is more than three miles away will probably discover the situation here. If the Jin Army Be alert, I'm afraid Young Master's plan may be hindered."
One of the soldiers looked at the squad leader beside him with slightly anxious eyes. Although the scout on the opposite side rode very slowly, he could almost reach them in no more than three minutes at most.
Although there are weeds where they are lying, the weeds are not deep. Once the enemy comes close, they are likely to discover their camouflage.
The squad leader glanced at the thirteen people opposite, with determination flashing in his eyes. He took off the spur from his rifle, glanced at his comrades beside him, and said firmly: "Brothers, we are not cowards. Isn’t it just the Thirteen Golden Army? Let’s do it one by one, and hurry up. Whoever kills his own enemy first will go and help the others.”
"Remember the fighting skills that Young Master taught us. Kill with one strike and don't give the enemy any chance." He looked at the others with burning eyes. When everyone heard this, a rush of blood surged through their bodies.
Afraid of Mao, they and the Jin Army are both human beings, not to mention that even if they did not confront the Jin Army head-on during this period, they killed who knows how many Jin Army.
Moreover, after such a long period of combat training, these scouts are not vegetarians. Those who can be selected into the reconnaissance camp are all very skilled. When encountering an ordinary Jin army, they can fight three against one without any problem. A powerful one can even beat ten.
They looked at the Jin Jun who was slowly approaching, and the blood on their bodies seemed to be boiling. The strong fighting spirit made their hands holding the military thorns tighten.
Soon, the Jin Army scouts were getting closer and closer to them, fifty meters, forty meters... thirty meters... ten meters, five meters... Just when the Jin Army came to a distance of three meters, the Jin Army seemed to notice There seems to be something wrong with the green-grey grass among the weeds.
The soldiers in the reconnaissance battalion were all wearing new camouflage military uniforms and a layer of ghillie uniforms. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell that anyone was hiding there.
But the Jin Army scouts were obviously more careful. They noticed something was wrong in the weeds, and their minds suddenly tightened, and the thirteen people reined in their horses. When they wanted to see what was going on.
Suddenly, the weeds in front of them rose up into the sky, and a cloud of ash flew into the eyes of the scouts. Before the scouts could react, thirteen scouts rushed up. They grabbed the scouts on their horses and stabbed them mercilessly with their spears. neck.
Among the thirteen people, at least seven scouts were stabbed to death on the spot. The remaining six scouts reacted very quickly. They avoided the fatal blow and turned around to fly the scout soldiers away.
But although they reacted quickly, the scout soldiers reacted even faster. The spur changed its direction and stabbed in hard towards the left side of the heart. Their movements are almost the same. After all, this was the routine when they first practiced the Flying Lattice Assassination Technique.
Therefore, the remaining six scouts did not escape the scout's second attack and had their hearts pierced directly by military thorns. They looked at their opponents with wide eyes, full of shock and disbelief.
I thought that the elite soldiers of their golden army were a bit stronger than the ordinary golden army, but when faced with the enemy that suddenly appeared in front of them, they couldn't even hold on to two moves. It was such an unjust death. It’s too fast!
A group of scout soldiers looked at the Jin army on the ground and felt that they were not dead. They hit again to confirm that they were all dead. Only then did they find a place to tie up their horses.
They disposed of the body and continued to dive forward. There was a safety mark left behind. They want to deal with all the Jin Army scouts in this area and let the army appear in front of the Jin Army silently.
At this time, the sky was slowly getting dark, and it was about to get dark, and the People's Army would also start taking action at dark.
Except for their side, several other directions have advanced to the Jin Army. They have eliminated all the scouts here. There will be no more scouts. Five hundred meters ahead is the Jin Army's camp. All the scouts are lurking here.
The night had also darkened, and the Jin army did not send out any more scouts. The return of this round of scouts will take at least half a day. That is six hours.
Therefore, this period of time will be the safest and least likely to attract the attention of the Jin Army. The People's Army began to approach the Jin Army's camp.
While the People's Army was approaching the Jin Army, a group of nearly 50,000 Yongle Army troops, about twenty miles away, were rushing in this direction. They are an army starting from Ninghang City.
The leader was Wang Yin, the king of Yongle Dynasty. He was really worried about the situation in Jiangling Mansion, so he led the army in person. It's a pity that he currently has no army at his disposal. Only fifty thousand.
He came almost day and night. As long as they climbed over Tuyang Mountain ahead, they could reach Jiangling Mansion in half a day.
However, when he was still twenty miles away from Tuyang Mountain, the sky had already darkened. Taking advantage of the darkness, he wanted to continue on his way, but when he arrived at about ten miles away, the soldiers really couldn't drive any further. It was too dark up there and it was extremely difficult to travel.
In desperation, the Yongle army had to rest ten miles away from Tuyang Mountain. If the People's Army had not eliminated all the Jin Army's scouts, the Yongle Army at this time would have once again fallen into the siege of the Jin Army's Aliku and others. It is estimated that the entire army will be wiped out again soon.
Just after Wang Yin led the army to set up camp, the People's Army had already sneaked into the land where the Jin Army was located. The surroundings were dark and silent, and the visibility was only less than ten meters away. Looking at the bright lights ahead, Yunze's eyes flashed. The soldiers at the front have begun to build fortifications with sandbags.
The engineers began to dig trenches quickly, and soldiers from each unit were also in position. At this time, a scout reported to Yunze the news that Yongle troops were coming from behind.
Yunze's eyes flashed slightly when he heard the report. Although the Yongle Army had surrendered to him, he still had to be on guard no matter what. Who knew if they might be up to something behind his back.
He sent two thousand people's army cavalry to guard the direction where Wang Yin's army might attack, and sent scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the Yongle army. Once they made any move that was detrimental to his side, he would deal with them mercilessly. Launch an attack.
After arranging all this, the People's Army continues to operate here. It took almost three hours, and it was already late at night. Everything is ready.
Yunze nodded to the messenger behind him, and immediately fired a signal into the air. A sharp sound rang out, waking up the Jin Army in front and the Yongle Army not far away.
They looked at the sudden appearance of signal fireworks ten miles ahead, with shock in their eyes, and everyone hurriedly organized their troops.
At the same time, at the moment when the signal fireworks took off, countless artillery shells poured towards the Jin Army's camp, bang... bang! The explosion resounded through the entire Jin Army camp. The Jin Army, who had just woken up, had not understood what was happening. They were stunned by the artillery fire.
Aliku appeared outside the camp in disheveled clothes. Looking at the camp that was blown to pieces, his eyes were full of shock, astonishment, and a sense of fear.
He was somewhat familiar with this artillery fire. He remembered that the people who had such artillery fire seemed to be Yunze's People's Army. In other words, the People's Army had sneaked around him unknowingly. launched an attack on him.
Aliku came to his senses and quickly began to organize his army. What he had to do now was to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible. Although I don't understand the situation, leaving this camp is the wisest choice.
Under the cover of artillery fire, the entire camp screamed repeatedly. Many Jin troops were taken away by the artillery fire. The whole camp was in chaos. However, under the rectification of Aliku and other generals, most of the Jin troops had woken up from the panic. come over.
They led their horses and all rushed out of the camp. Aliku took the lead and rushed forward. In the other three directions, Jin troops also began to rush out.
In other words, there are Jin troops rushing out from all directions, and they no longer dare to stay in the current camp. However, no matter which direction they rushed from, they rushed out of the camp about 300 meters.
Suddenly, intensive gunfire rang out from the front, and the advancing cavalry fell in pieces, unable to reach the opposite position.
Aliku looked through the firelight and realized that his side was actually surrounded. The People's Army was on all sides, and they were mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Jin Army's cavalry.
The artillery fire coverage and the dense rifle firepower network did not give them any chance to break through the encirclement. Although their horses were fast, they could not reach the front position at all.
No matter how many times they rushed over, the final result was to be shot mercilessly, but they did not dare to return to the camp because they would be baptized by intensive artillery fire. A worse death.
Aliku no longer had the arrogance he had when he destroyed the 100,000 Yongle Army. At this time, his face was full of panic and despair, facing an invincible enemy. How could he not be desperate if he couldn't even meet him head-on?
He shouted hoarsely and commanded his soldiers to charge around. But no matter how he commanded, some of his soldiers would die if they rushed out. It looked like they were sent to be massacred by the People's Army.
Through the firelight, what he saw was the cold face of the People's Army and the cold eyes. In that moment, Aliku knew that they were finished, completely finished.
He never expected that the People's Army would appear here, let alone that the People's Army would quietly surround them. His scouts seemed to have no effect.
He never would have thought that the scout's six-hour reply would be the worst thing he had ever done. He thought that in six hours of scouting, he should be able to detect a distance of tens to hundreds of miles.
If he encounters an enemy, he will return as soon as possible. In this way, he can prepare early. The scouts he sent out were in groups of several, and they were not far apart. Once something unexpected happens to the scouts elsewhere. Neighboring scouts will surely be able to spot it.
But how could he have imagined that the number of scouts sent by the People's Army was even more than his, and their tactical literacy was many times higher than theirs. It is reasonable for their scouts to be wiped out silently.
If he shortened the time for the scouts to return, he could avoid being silently surrounded. But in that case, the area for scouts to explore would be shorter. Not much use.
Looking at the soldiers being slaughtered mercilessly in front of him, his heart was bleeding and his eyes were filled with unwilling anger. He forced himself to calm down and thought about how to stand out from the encirclement.
But he didn't have any weapons that could fight against the People's Army. Although they carried gunpowder bags, they could borrow arrows to shoot them out. Causes great damage to enemies.
But this kerosene pack needs to be close to the enemy within 300 meters, or even within 200 meters to be able to exert its best effect. But the problem is, they can't get closer than 200 meters.
Even a distance of three hundred meters is difficult. Besides, shooting gunpowder packets into the enemy's position from a distance of 300 meters requires extremely strong archers, and there are less than a hundred people on their side who can do this.
Moreover, even if they can do it, they can only shoot a few times with a strong bow. Their biggest advantage over the Yongle Army has no effect on the People's Army.
After several unsuccessful charges and nearly ten thousand people were lost on all sides, Aliku had no choice but to shrink the defense line and led his soldiers back to the camp.
He dispersed the soldiers and tried not to give the People's Army artillery a chance to bombard the dense crowd. At the same time, he organized manpower to start building fortifications.
Without materials, he asked the Jin Army soldiers to use the corpses of their companions to build fortifications in front. In addition to preventing the People's Army's rifle fire, they could also be used to avoid artillery fire.
This approach gave Aliku some time to breathe. Seeing this, Yunze asked the artillery position to stop shelling. He did not attack again, but asked his engineers to start digging trenches in the front.
He was ready to push his position forward for more than a hundred meters. Slowly compress the Jin Army's living space. Of course, he still has the most important air force to use. Because of poor visibility at night. The Air Force is currently resting.
Just as Yunze advanced the defense line, the Yongle Army in the distance had also sent out scouts to check the situation here.
At the same time, on the other side, a group of 3,000 Yongle troops who had been defeated and escaped from the Jin army heard the movement here and moved towards this side.
They soon saw Wang Yin who was encamped here. After communication between the two sides, the leading general heard that it was Wang Yin who came. He quickly came to see Wang Yin excitedly.
The moment he saw Wang Yin, the general almost fainted from tears. He told Wang Yin about the destruction of his one hundred thousand army and Hu Kui's destruction by the Jin army's fifty thousand army.
He also told Wang Yin that there was a 50,000-strong Jin Army stationed in front. Now, it seems that there are people fighting in the front. In other words, the Jin army was ambushed.
But he didn't know who ambushed them. When Wang Yin heard this, his face showed shock. He knew who ambushed the Jin army. People's Army.
Only the People's Army has such explosive weapons. I don’t know who the People’s Army is coming. Yunze came here without telling Wang Yin and
But when he thought that the People's Army was coming, Wang Yin's originally ugly face showed a look of joy and expectation. Or, with the presence of the People's Army, the situation of the war will change. He quickly led a team of hundreds of guards and rushed towards the place where the battle took place together with the surviving general.
At this time, it was already more than two hours after the battle. It's almost dawn.
