At this time, Mu Cong took 20000 soldiers to the side of the dense forest. 20000 soldiers went into the woods next to the official road, stretched their bows and arrows one by one, and were ready to attack at any time.
This was the first battle after King Xiping. Everyone wanted to make a good performance and improve their weight. The three generals wanted to make a good performance. One by one, they were very energetic. Only scouts were sent ten miles away in case.
Finally, less than an hour after 20000 soldiers drilled into the dense forest, the scouts in front came the news that reinforcements from Guizhou province appeared. The leader was five thousand cavalry. They were fast and were less than five miles away from the dense forest.
But there is also bad news, that is, the cavalry speed is too fast, which separates them from the main force behind them. This ambush is doomed to be impossible to completely annihilate the enemy.
"No matter what, five thousand cavalry is not a small force, so we'll beat them first." although Mu Cong secretly said it's a pity, he still made a decision soon. After all, for generals, the most taboo is to seek and keep, which will only make them lose all their advantages.
Although the cavalry came, Mu Cong was still very confident with 20000 to 5000 and had been prepared for it. Not only he, but also the generals under his command have confidence on their faces. They like to fight with more bullying and less, because it will have a better chance of winning and their safety will be more guaranteed.
As time went by, the 5000 cavalry vanguard led by Jiang Wuqing did not know that someone was setting up an ambush here.
It was necessary to send scouts to inquire about the dense forest, but now they don't have that time. No one knows what's going on in Yunnan Province now? If we can arrive earlier, we can help king Wunan fight back the enemy earlier, that is, we can make meritorious contributions earlier.
With this idea in mind, Jiang Wuqing only hates that the horse under his seat is too slow. How can he stop moving forward?
In this way, five thousand cavalry entered the area with dense forests on both sides from the official road. After all the cavalry entered, there was a shout of Mu Cong in the dense forest, followed by the sound of bow and arrow, accompanied by a pile of boulders suddenly piled on the road on the official road.
The appearance of the boulder instantly cut five thousand cavalry into several parts. Except that a hundred cavalry turned around and ran away in time because they ran last, others, including Jiang Wuqing, were trapped in the official way and became a living target in the eyes of 20000 mu family army.
Whew, whew... Whew, whew
Under the constant fierce shooting of bows and arrows, the cavalry who had no place to hide were shot one by one and fell to the ground.
Jiang Wuqing was better. Under the protection of his relatives, he didn't hit the arrow, but the situation has become very bad. With the waves of bows and arrows, the number of relatives around him is also decreasing.
"General, let's rush." the soldiers watched their fellow soldiers die from arrows one by one, and they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy. They couldn't help being very anxious.
"Rush, everyone dismount and charge towards the mountain hair in the East." Jiang Wuqing certainly knew that he was in the trap, but it was too late to say anything at this time. He had to put all his hopes on the road of anti charge.
"Do you want to charge? Get ready the stones, and they'll blow them back when they come. Ha ha." Mu Cong in the dense forest was in a good mood at this time. Seeing that he trapped five thousand enemy riders with one hand, he felt that the general situation of the world was in his hand.
Jiang Wuqing chose to charge and led his troops to the dense forest in the East again and again, but he withdrew again and again because the boulder rolled down. So repeatedly, there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, less than 2000.
"We surrender, please don't kill us."
Finally, some of the cavalry couldn't hold on. They threw their weapons to the ground and squatted on their legs.
Many of these people were originally from the three provincial armies. They believed in their own general Jiang Wuqing and surrendered to the five-star army. In the final analysis, they have no sense of identity with the five-star army in their hearts, and now in order to survive, they just surrender, which is nothing.
"Don't let go of any of them. Kill them all. I want them to know what will happen if they surrender to the five-star army." Mu Cong roared with resentment in his eyes. These cavalry should be the people of King Xiping, but they surrendered to the king of three provinces first, and now they surrendered to the five-star army, which made him have no good impression on these people.
The bows and arrows did not stop, even if you dropped your weapons, and then hundreds of people were killed by arrows. This also let other kneeling people see that surrender is not a clear way.
"Fight hard, take up arms, we have no way back." I don't know who shouted so. Then the cavalry became infantry. The soldiers stood up from the ground one by one. At this time, their eyes were red, shouting and rushing towards the dense forest.
But sometimes you can't work hard if you want to. It also depends on whether your opponent gives you such a chance.
Boulders still fall in the dense forest, accompanied by bows and arrows. Few people who rush in can return alive. After repeated twice, Jiang Wuqing, who was already wounded, found that the number of people around him who could fight was less than 500.
Five thousand changed into five hundred. He didn't arrive for half an hour. Then he knew he was doomed this time. Because his impact is too fast, he won't even have the opportunity to wait for reinforcements.
"Soldiers, it's my general. I'm sorry for you. Next, I'll make atonement with death. Come on, join me in the final charge." Jiang Wuqing, with a long gun in his hand, expressed his deathly ash. Yao Yingjun said in his heart that he must treat his family well, which was his last hope before he died. Then he led the troops to charge.
The cry of killing rang out, but because of the bad terrain, the cry stopped completely in a short time. Jiang Wuqing also fell on the road of charging. He was hit by four arrows, one of which hit his chest and killed him.
Five thousand cavalry left here, giving Mu Cong and others great confidence.
"The five-star army is just like this. If we can defeat them for the first time, we can defeat them for the second and third time, ha ha ha." Mu Cong cried with joy.
The ambush in the dense forest severely damaged Yao Yingjun's headquarters. When he heard the news from the more than 100 cavalry that the cavalry had set up an ambush in the dense forest, he really startled him. He sent scouts to inquire about the news at the first time, and then sent a telegram to Yang Chendong, which probably meant that things had changed. Their reinforcements might not arrive on time, so he asked the king of Wunan for understanding.
Even before this telegram was sent to Yang Chendong, the situation in Yunnan Province also changed.
First, Rajiv and Wu Ying launched a crazy siege with more than 30000 troops, which soon attracted the attention of the city guards. Under the fierce attack, the west gate was in danger. Yang Er successively raised his troops from the other three gates to support.
There is no problem with this move. But this is exactly what Wang mubin of Xiping wants.
He has seen that Yang Chendong still has a way to confuse the people. It is obviously not feasible to attack Yunnan government from the front, so he made a plan early and entered the city by sneak attack. As long as he can succeed, the 10000 troops he brought will become the main force. At that time, there will be no problem in attacking a three provincial palace.
For this plan, he had already sent a letter to the three people in the city, asking them to send some people to the east gate to cooperate with their internal and external cooperation and lead the army into the city.
Three people have put their fate on King Xiping and will naturally cooperate with him. First, they sent a thousand people to the vicinity of the three provincial palace and secretly controlled all the exits there to prevent Yang Chendong from escaping. Then more than a thousand people suddenly appeared after the East Gate transferred troops to the west gate.
More than a thousand three guards with various weapons still have some combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that they appeared at a very good time, which caught the soldiers guarding the east city by surprise.
Only one thousand people and five hundred troops were responsible for guarding here. Even Yang Er didn't leave any main force here. All his energy was on guarding the west gate. This gives the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The fight soon ended. When the troops and combat effectiveness were not as good as each other, the east city gate was broken without even a quarter of an hour. Then the gate of the east city gate opened from the inside, and 10000 mu troops outside the city suddenly appeared and jumped in.
The east gate was broken, and a large number of Mu troops rushed into the city. But they did not rush to the west gate, but directly to the three provincial palace in the city. When the news spread from the defeated soldiers to the Xicheng upstairs, Yang Er here was really shocked.
"Come on, come on, pick out 10000 people and go to the three provincial palace to protect the young master's safety. Where is Cheng Hu? The war here is up to you. You should guard here anyway." Yang Er called commander Cheng Hu while dispatching troops and told him.
This is Yang er. He has already developed a certain momentum with Yang Chen's southeast expedition to the north. He doesn't seem to be in a panic.
"Yes, second brother, don't worry. As long as Cheng Hu is still here, the west gate won't be lost." Cheng Hu patted his chest and promised. Then he looked at Yang ER and gathered up 10000 soldiers to enter the city.
The palace of the three provinces.
The shouting and killing outside suddenly sounded. Dao Xiao and Badaojiang soon appeared in front of Yang Chendong. When reporting the war outside, they also asked whether they need to retreat elsewhere.
Black riding dragon guards are called elite not only because they are well-trained and well-equipped, but also because of the spirit that everyone is not afraid of life and death. Will such an army be flustered by the sudden appearance of the enemy?
