Chapter 126: Burning the Carriage Camp
Ajig ordered Nikan to set up camps on the spot, treat the wounded soldiers, bury the pot and cook rice, have a good rest for a night, and find a way to fight the Ming army tomorrow.
As soon as the camp was set up, Ajige ordered him to take out the map and carefully figure out the strategies to break the enemy.
"Sir, why is the baggage camp so slow? It hasn't come up yet." Ajige, who was concentrating on his mind, was interrupted by Nikan's voice.
"The infantry didn't come up, wait a little longer. The road to the south is too difficult to walk, and it is understandable to be slower than before." Ajig looked at the sky and arrived at Youzheng: "After another half an hour, if you haven't arrived yet, you can send someone to urge me."
"twitter!"
Nikan agreed and stepped back.
...
Azige didn't know that his baggage battalion was in trouble.
Ajige's baggage camp was a convoy, and the carts were loaded with food, weapons, clothes, pots and stoves and other cooking utensils. There were more than 300 cars full of them, stretching for miles, just like a long snake, squirming through a valley in Wuyi Mountain.
"What's going on? Why are there so many stones on the road?" The leader of the Qing army responsible for protecting and escorting the baggage was Wu Dawu, the guerrilla commander of the Han army flag. Seeing that the team was moving slower, he rode his horse to the front of the team. Seeing that there were many stones of different sizes scattered in the center of the road, he hurriedly asked the escort sergeant.
"Sir, just as I was walking, I suddenly fell from the mountain and almost injured the coachman." A soldier replied.
"It should be that the stone has loosened, and it fell down by itself, right?" Wu Dawu looked up at the mountains on both sides. Seeing the steep mountains and lush trees, he thought to himself: "It shouldn't be someone who did it on purpose. The Ming army ran away. Who would hide on the mountain and throw stones down?"
"Quickly clear the road out, you will mislead the affairs of the commander, be careful of your head!" Wu Dawu shouted.
"twitter!"
The soldiers and coachmen hurried to clean up the stones.
After about a quarter of an hour of clearing, the stones were finally cleaned up. Wu Dawu quickly ordered the convoy to set off.
After walking for a while, the convoy stopped again. Wu Dawu hurried to the front and asked again. It turned out that this time it was a scattered stone blocking the road, and this time there were more stones and larger.
"Not good! It must be because the Ming army did it on purpose!" Wu Dawu was slow and found that something was wrong. Once it slipped down naturally, did he slip down naturally?
"Hurry up, go up the mountain to search!" Wu Dawu held the knife in his hand, looked at the mountain vigilantly, and ordered his soldiers to say.
After hearing the orders of more than ten soldiers under him, they came down to report: "Sir, there is nothing on the mountain."
"Am I overthinking it? This is what I fell down again?" Wu Dawu thought to himself: "No matter what, you have to speed up the speed. This valley is too dangerous. If the Ming army ambushed on the mountains on both sides, this place will be a dead place. It is safe to join the army as soon as possible."
"Quick, clear the road! Hurry up!"
...
Fortunately, after the convoy set off again, he never encountered a rockfall blocking the road. Wu Dawu gradually felt relieved. However, due to the two rockfalls, it took a long time to delay. It was getting late and it was about to reach You. Wu Dawu was anxious. If he could not catch up with the army at the end of You, he would probably be beaten by the commander.
"Go and report to the commander, and it's said that the huge rocks block the road, so it took a delay. I was leading the convoy to hurry up." Wu Dawu called his personal soldiers and asked him to ride a horse to report the situation here quickly.
No matter what, report it first without losing money. If you miss these two accidents, the leader should be considerate and not blame it too much.
The convoy quickly moved along the mountain road, with the valley entrance ahead. As long as you leave the valley entrance, there is an open land, so you won’t be afraid of ambushing.
Looking at the valley entrance closer and closer, Wu Dawu felt relieved.
At this moment, Wu Dawu suddenly saw a large number of huge rocks rolling down from the mountain at the entrance of the valley. The rumbling sound kept echoing in the valley, and in a short while the entrance of the valley was already blocked to death.
"Oh, big things are not good, the Ming army intercepts the grain!" Wu Dawu was also an old corpse. At this point, he had fully understood that he had fallen into the ambush of the Ming army.
"Quick, retreat, retreat!" Wu Dawu saw that the mountains on both sides were as sharp as swords and could not climb at all, so he had to order the baggage truck to turn around and retreat.
The soldiers and servants were stunned by the changes in front of them and quickly turned on the narrow mountain road, shouting and making a mess.
At this moment, I heard the sound of "swoosh" and "swoosh" endlessly. Rockets shot from the mountains on both sides, and shot them into the food truck. The food truck was on fire when they saw the fire. In an instant, the fire was blazing and the smoke rolled. The valley that had been around for a few miles long became a fire dragon.
"Quickly, retreat north, don't worry about the grain truck, retreat north!" Wu Dawu was extremely frightened, shouted loudly, and fled north with a wave of his whip.
After all, the Qing soldiers were well-trained. When they heard the command of the superior, they quickly gathered to flee to the north.
But when people listened to the orders, the horses refused to follow the orders. When the fire burned, the horses neighed in horror, pulling the carts and running around. It was impossible for the Qing soldiers to pass through.
"Kill the horse, kill the horse!" Wu Dawu hurriedly ordered that the Qing soldiers immediately cut the arrow and shot the horse.
Wu Dawu didn't know that the most life-threatening thing was not fire, but thick smoke. People could avoid fire, but could not avoid the rolling smoke. When they killed the horse, the Qing soldiers were dizzy by the smoke. After walking for a few steps, they fell to the ground.
Wu Dawu covered his mouth and nose with one hand, and tightly pulled the rope with the other hand, trying his best to control his terrified mount. He accidentally sucked in a sip of thick smoke and fainted immediately. He sat down and lost control. He rushed forward and threw Wu Dawu off his horse and happened to be thrown into the fire. A sizzling fire sounded, and Wu Dawu turned into ashes, and his corpse was gone...
"Aoaoao..." Looking at the tragic situation at the foot of the mountain, the Ming army on the mountain cheered and danced.
"Hey, it's so fucking fun! This battle was so exciting, and there was no effort at all." Qianhu Chen Xian was so happy that his mouth widened and his fork opened, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"It's still the wise and wise of the emperor. In the past, they said, "It's a responsibility to defend the land." They would rather die than lose a piece of land, but the emperor said, "If you have land and people lose people, people and land will be lost; if you have land and people lose land, people and land will be preserved." This is a saying that is truly a thousand miles away, and it is extremely exquisite. You can see through the essence of war in an instant." Du Yonghe looked at the valley and said with emotion.
"Yes, the emperor is wise. If it weren't for this, our tactics wouldn't have been so flexible." Chen Xian echoed.
"Big Mouth, I was thinking just now, are we going to take root in Wuyi Mountain?"
"Sir, are you saying that we won't meet up with the Grandmaster?"
