The next morning.
A supply team left the camp and headed north.
At the same time, a group of 500 light cavalry was ready to go.
"Is everything arranged?"
Zhu Rong turned to Zhu Neng and asked.
"Don't worry, General Zhu. Everything has been arranged properly.”
Zhu Neng's face revealed a reassuring expression.
"Since everything is ready, let's set off and pick up the battle credits.”
Zhu Xiong shouted loudly, and the five hundred light cavalry galloped away.
.
Fifty miles northwest of Daning.
There were Northern Yuan cavalry stationed by the river.
There were exactly 3,000 people, just as Tang Yalan had guessed the night before.
"Have the scouts returned?"
A bearded man turned his head and asked his subordinate.
"Lord Qianhu, the scouts have not returned yet.”
The subordinate replied respectfully.
"I hope that I can see the Ming army's supply team today. Otherwise, it will be a little dangerous if I wait any longer.”
The bearded man who was addressed as Lord Thousand Households had a gloomy expression.
This place was too close to the Great Ming's sphere of influence, and one careless mistake could lead to being discovered.
At that time, the three thousand of them would become lone wolves without help.
Although he could escape, he felt aggrieved. Moreover, if he didn't complete his mission, he would be punished by King Qi when he returned.
Just as the bearded man was frowning, the scouts returned, shouting as they ran.
"Lord Qianhu, they've appeared. The Ming army's supply team has appeared.”
"It's finally here!"
Hearing this, the bearded man stood up and shouted,""Men, mount your warhorses and follow me to rob the Ming army of their supplies. We will drag Li Wenzhong's army of 100,000 to death.”
According to reliable sources, Li Wenzhong's army could only last for half a month.
As long as they were cut off from food supplies, they would be able to defeat the enemy without fighting and exhaust them to death.
"Oh, oh, oh ~"
"Robbed the rations!"
"Steal the rations!"
With a howl, the 3,000 light cavalry of Northern Yuan marched towards the Ming army's supply team.
An hour later, they finally saw the supply team.
"Lord Qianhu, don't you feel that something is wrong? Why are there only twenty carriages of supplies for the Ming army?”
"It should be that the Ming army has many supply routes, and this is only one of them.”
The bearded man said in a deep voice," Let's go. Let's kill them all. We'll slaughter all the Ming soldiers and take the supplies with us. Then we can go back and report our mission."”
"Kill!"
Roars rang out as the three thousand light cavalry charged towards the supply team like a pack of wolves.
...
Three hundred steps away, on the hillside, there were a few figures lying on the grass.
It was Zhu Xi, Zhu Neng, and Tang Yalan. Zhu Di was not there because he had been transferred away after returning yesterday.
"Zhu the Fifth, what are you trying to do?”
Tang Yalan, who was full of doubts, could not help but ask.
Yes, the terrain here was one of the few places on the grassland that could be used for an ambush.
The hill wasn't too high and was just enough to hide five hundred light cavalry.
But so what?
The other party had a total of 3,000 light cavalry. 500 against 3,000, could they win?
She couldn't figure out what Zhu Rong wanted to do.
"Can't you see my plan at this point?”
Zhu Rong looked at Tang Yalan in shock and repeated,"No way, no way."
Tang Yalan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
How could she not tell that Zhu Rong was mocking her?
Zhu Rong couldn't be bothered with her because he realized that the time had come.
"Bring me the bow!"
"Yes, General Zhu!"
Zhu Neng personally took the bow for Zhu Rong.
"Bow and arrow? What are you doing?"
Tang Yalan was completely confused." This place is at least 300 steps away from the Northern Yuan Light Cavalry. Do you think you are a master archer? At such a distance, let alone hitting the target, even an ordinary bow can't hit it."”
"A master archer? I'm sorry, but I am!”
"As for the problem of distance, you're right. Ordinary bows can't shoot that far, but my bow is extraordinary.”
Zhu Rong grinned, held his breath, drew his bow, and nocked an arrow. He smiled at Zhu Neng and said,""Big Brother Zhu Neng, light the fire."
"Good!"
Zhu Neng grinned as well. He took out a lighter and lit the specially made arrowhead.
The ordinary arrow instantly turned into a rocket.
Whoosh ~
The arrow shot out. Under Tang Yalan's shocked gaze, the arrow hit one of the carriages.
Immediately after.
Bang ~
A violent explosion sounded, and the sparks from the explosion jumped onto the carriages behind. A series of explosions instantly formed, and flames instantly filled the sky.
A large number of Northern Yuan cavalrymen who had just approached the carriage were blown away.
The warhorses roared and the cavalrymen fell to the ground. The scene was very chaotic.
The most amazing thing was that even the Northern Yuan cavalrymen who were 30 to 50 feet away inexplicably fell off their horses.
"This, this is Uncle Xu's twelve stone bow.”
Tang Yalan was so shocked that her entire body was trembling. Only now did she recognize that the bow in Zhu Xiong's hand was the twelve-picul precious bow that Xu Da had seized from the grassland tribe.
As far as she knew, this bow had not been drawn since the death of the Bow King Hasar, one of the five kings of the Mongol Empire, a hundred years ago.
"What are you waiting for? Get on the horse and clean up the mess!”
"Don't let the Northern Yuan cavalrymen escape just to make me lose!" Zhu Rong shouted at Tang Yalan.”
"Humph!"
Tang Yalan snorted coldly and mounted her horse. She held her Pear Blossom Spear and charged down the hill.
However, no one noticed that the coldness on Tang Yalan's face slowly disappeared and was replaced by a satisfied expression. It was as if something had happened that made her happy. At this moment, the corners of her mouth actually curled up slightly, revealing a beautiful smile, like a plum blossom blooming in the twelfth lunar month.
Looking at the valiant back, Zhu Rong grinned." Big Brother Zhu Neng, block the retreat of the Northern Yuan cavalrymen. No one is allowed to escape."”
"Don't worry, Brother Wulang. I guarantee that you'll win and successfully bring the beauty home, haha!”
Zhu Neng laughed and walked away.
Zhu Xi was speechless.
How could he get the beauty back?
Could his imagination not be so strong?
I don't dare to touch this thorny rose. I might die one day.
....
At the foot of the hill, the cavalrymen of Northern Yuan panicked.
A second ago, they were still mocking the Ming army for being spineless and running away without fighting.
But in the next second, they realized that it was a trap.
Because the coachmen were all Northern Yuan prisoners of war.
What was even more terrifying was that as soon as they realized that it was a trap, before they could even escape, a fire arrow shot over from 300 steps away.
In the blink of an eye, it hit the carriage.
then
Huff ~
The sound of an explosion rang out. Nearly 30% of the brothers were engulfed by the explosion and were dyed in flames. They fell to the ground and rolled around crazily.
What was even more terrifying was that the fragments that flew out of the carriage during the explosion had actually reaped the lives of nearly half of his brothers.
In just a few breaths, less than 300 of the 3,000 light cavalry remained.
These 300 people were all injured to varying degrees.
There were very few that were unharmed.
"The Ming army, it's the Ming army's iron cavalry!"
A Northern Yuan cavalryman whose shoulder was injured but still had combat power heard the commotion and looked up. He saw that the hill was covered in dust and hundreds of cavalrymen were rushing over.
He immediately shouted in panic.
"Damn it, this is a trap.”
The bearded man's expression was even uglier than the bottom of a pot.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
He roared loudly.
"Lord Qianhu, we can't leave. Look behind us.”
The bearded man turned around and saw that the Ming army cavalry had circled around and blocked his only escape route.
"Since we can't escape, then let's fight!"
The bearded man roared as he rode his horse and charged at the Ming army.
