Let’s put aside the struggle between Han people and Han people for now.
For Wu Nian, the first goal is always "to expel the Tartars and recover Liaodong".
After Wu Nianjun rested for a day and night in Qiongyong Ranch.
Early the next morning. While the Huotou Army was making rice, all the soldiers currently under Wu Nian took action.
With more than 6,000 horses and carts loaded with hay, this is no joke.
Everyone has to take action to get the situation under control.
By the time Wu Nian set off with the horses and cart, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the morning.
This time.
Wu Nian did not have any plots and tricks, and the army headed towards the Xiaoshan camp in the southwest in a majestic manner.
This is the territory of the Mongolian and Yuan Empire.
Wu Nian's actions passed through countless ears and eyes, like a spider web, and the news spread outward.
However, after successive victories, Wu Nian killed 60% to 70% of the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers in this area. As a result, all the Meng Yuan people who wanted to organize Wu Nian were motivated but unable to do so.
One could only watch helplessly as Wu Nian led large numbers of horses and carts towards the Xiaoshan camp.
Xiaoshan camp.
This granary is really important.
Now all the Meng Yuan people hope that the remaining Meng Yuan captain, leading 7,000 soldiers, can hold the Xiaoshan camp and wait for the Wanhu people to lead the army to come back for rescue and kill Wu Nian.
As long as you kill Wu Nian, you can make money back.
The head of the Liaodong Tiger is now a priceless treasure.
Riding is a skill that is difficult to master. But it is not difficult to learn to ride a horse and let the horse carry you.
With so many horses, plus horses pulling carts, the terrain in this area is very flat. Wu Nian's marching speed was much faster than before.
Like an arrow, he quickly approached the Xiaoshan camp.
The so-called Xiaoshan Camp.
It was not built on a mountain, but a camp on a flat place. There is a river on the west side and flat land on the other three sides.
Originally this place was used as the rear area, so the camp was built relatively casually and its defense was not high.
After Liu Shanyang, Liu Fuguang, Li Guanyun and other captains arrived at Xiaoshan camp, they resolved their differences and decided to defend the camp.
Their soldiers and horses began to strengthen the defense of the camp. The antlers were built in large numbers and sharp blades were tied to the antlers.
As they settled down, the seven thousand defeated troops under their command finally regained their morale.
morning.
Inside the big tent.
Liu Shanyang was wearing a black bearskin coat and a round iron helmet on his head. He was sitting on the main seat, and the other captains were sitting on both sides.
In the center, the flame in the stove burns vigorously.
"My lords, according to the news, Wu Nian has brought a large amount of hay, and there is a high probability that he plans to attack us with fire."
"What we can do. We've done it."
"Now we have only one way. Guard the Xiaoshan Camp to prevent our guilt from further expanding. Maybe we can be dismissed from office as civilians, otherwise our whole family will have to be buried with us."
Liu Shanyang glanced at the captains present and spoke in a very stern tone.
"yes."
Liu Fuguang, Li Guanyun and other commanders responded loudly.
Everyone has no way out. With their backs against the cliff, they can only fight to the death.
immediately. The captains left the tent and went down to do what they could. Either to encourage the morale of the soldiers, or to lead the troops to strengthen defense.
Just as the Meng Yuan people were sinking their boats, Wu Nian led the army to the vicinity of Xiaoshan Camp.
This morning.
Flags such as "Yanhan" and "Wu" were flying in the wind. Wu Nian rode a bay-red horse and walked in the middle of the team.
There are too many horses.
The sound of horses neighing is endless.
The army stopped about a mile away from Xiaoshan Camp. Wu Nian got off his horse and called three thousand households to come over. They sat on the ground together and studied the map and tactics.
Wu Nian first raised his head and glanced at the [Yanhan] flag, and then said to the three of them: "The north wind is blowing now. This is good."
"According to the spies' report, Xiaoshan camp. Although the terrain is flat, the north side is higher. We follow the wind direction. Attack from the north and set fire. We will break through the camp in one fell swoop and burn the food and grass."
"We have been in the Mongolian and Yuan territory for nearly twenty days. We don't have much time. It is best to win the battle today."
"Let's go around to the north first. Then, Wang Qianhu. The soldiers with heavy armor and heavy axes are still the vanguard. Let your soldiers abandon their heavy axes, pick up hay, and attack the Xiaoshan camp."
"yes."
Three thousand households shouted loudly. Wang Qianhu's voice was particularly majestic, without any hesitation.
After making the decision, everyone immediately dispersed. Wu Nian got on his horse again and led the army to the north of Xiaoshan camp.
After the army was arrayed in order, the soldiers quickly got busy, carrying bundles of hay from the cart.
Wu Nian rode on the horse and looked back at the flag behind him.
It's still north wind, which is good. continue.
"Da da da!" The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded. Wu Nian followed the sound of the horse's hooves.
Wang Qianhu galloped over on his horse. When he arrived in front of Wu Nian, he dismounted vigorously, knelt down on one knee and said, "General, we are all ready."
Wu Nian wanted to directly order the attack.
As long as he issued a military order, the soldiers would execute it one after another.
But this time was different.
Xiaoshan camp.
After Wu Nian thought for a moment, he gently clamped the horse's belly with his feet and drove the horse to the front of the soldiers. Three hundred men with heavy armor and axes lined up and waited.
They have two weapons, namely steel knives and bone knives, hanging on both sides of their waists.
The heavy ax was placed on the cart.
One hundred divine arm archers, one hundred auxiliary soldiers with divine arm bows.
Two hundred archers.
They are cover.
"Brothers, since I started the army, some people have been questioning me. It was wrong for me to send you to the battlefield."
"I should. Let the Meng Yuan rule over us."
"That way, there will be a lot less killing and a lot less blood."
"I sneer at this, and I will kill anyone who tells me that."
"I have always promised you. Drive out the Tartars and regain Liaodong."
"Now. I will lead you to capture Yingqing Prefecture and recapture one of the five prefectures and thirty-two counties in Liaodong. This time I go north. I want to avenge the people of the county and let the Meng Yuan people have a taste of war. I also want the war horses from Qiongyong Ranch and the food and grass from Xiaoshan Camp.”
"I can tell you clearly now. As long as we capture this camp and burn the food and grass inside."
"The situation in Liaodong will change."
"Maybe it is us. An opportunity to expel the Tartars and regain Liaodong."
"Brothers. Now. I assist the Han general Wu Nian."
"Order you."
"Attack the Xiaoshan camp in front. Kill anyone who blocks it."
"Attack!!!!"
