Chapter 1562: Camp Broken, Captured, Dissatisfied
The city gate.
Xiaolongnu, Guo Fu and Huang Rong heard the news and came with other heroes to see them off.
There were even many heroes in the martial arts world who volunteered to fight on the spot and wanted to follow and kill the enemy.
Su Mingzhe rejected everyone's kindness one by one.
Among these heroes, more than 90% are heroes.
However, there are also one percent of people who are Tartar spies.
Su Mingzhe had been planning today's sneak attack for a month and could not afford to make any mistakes.
Therefore, in order to conceal the news as much as possible, everyone who leaves the city this time must be trustworthy.
What's more, Su Mingzhe's sneak attack this time may seem a bit risky to outsiders.
But, doesn’t Su Mingzhe know whether it is dangerous or not?
Why should we share the credit for a battle that is sure to be won with others?
Guo Fu suddenly pulled Su Mingzhe and asked with concern:
"Big Brother, how confident are you in this sneak attack?"
“About 50%!”
Su Mingzhe had anticipated this long ago.
He was only fifty percent sure.
However, this 50% certainty does not mean winning the battle, but a 50% certainty of annihilating the enemy.
"Only 50%?"
Guo Fu was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing this.
Huang Rong's face was filled with joy, and she thought to herself:
"In the past month, my eldest disciple has rehearsed this sneak attack plan five times, but now he says he is only 50% sure. It seems that he is quite cautious. Brother Jing and I are not afraid that he will take risks!"
……
Mongol Tartar camp.
The Vanguard Commander-in-Chief summoned his subordinates Tumen Nayan (Head of 10,000 Households) and Minhan Nayan (Head of 1,000 Households) and said solemnly:
"Pass the order down, the Southern Song barbarians are going to launch a surprise attack tonight, everyone is not allowed to sleep, and the army must be ready for battle!"
When everyone heard that there was going to be a war, they all showed joy.
The two heads of the ten thousand households were suspicious and said:
"Marshal, may I ask how many barbarians are coming for the sneak attack?"
"Eight thousand people, according to reports!"
After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
The Marshal of the Capital coughed lightly and reminded:
"Don't underestimate these 8,000 men. The four generals leading them are all disciples of the Golden Sword Prince Consort!"
When everyone heard the words "Golden Sword Prince Consort", it was as if someone had grabbed a big white goose by the neck. The laughter stopped abruptly, and even some awe began to appear in their eyes.
These people were either Wanhu or Qianhu, and their ages were not much different from Guo Jing. Basically, they knew the value of the three words "Golden Sword Prince Consort".
Now, when they heard that the Song general who launched the sneak attack was the disciple of the Prince Consort of the Golden Sword, everyone couldn't help but become nervous.
Afterwards, more than twenty people left the general's tent with nervous expressions, and gathered their men to prepare for battle.
……
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
Teams of Xiangyang soldiers beat gongs and drums with all their might and shouted slogans at the top of their lungs.
When torches were lit in the Mongolian camp and people were running around, these Xiangyang soldiers quietly left their original place and headed for the next destination before the Mongolian Tartars came to encircle and suppress them!
Wu Xiuwen watched his soldiers leave, and his eyes flashed with worry:
"Will the sneak attack by Senior Brother really succeed?"
……
Seeing another wave of gongs and drums disappear, knowing that there would be another quarter of an hour before the next one appeared, a captain ran to the commander's tent to complain:
"Marshal, these Song people are too cunning. They just keep beating the gongs and drums but don't attack. Baturu is exhausted by them. There is no way to attack the city tomorrow!"
"This is the old wisdom of the Golden Sword Prince Consort!"
The Marshal General had already guessed what was happening, but he explained helplessly:
"They just want to keep disturbing us, keep us awake all night, and then launch a surprise attack at dawn! Because dawn is also the time when everyone is the most sleepy..."
After hearing the explanation, Wan Huzhang asked in a low voice:
"Marshal, can we let the Baturus rest for a while and wake them up at dawn..."
"No, the Golden Sword Prince Consort said that this military strategy is about 'false and real'. If we really take a rest, the enemy will see through our false and real, and they will turn the fake attack into a real attack!"
The commander-in-chief was indeed a good student. He memorized all the military strategies that Guo Jing used and the words he said when he led his troops in battle.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that there is also a "chain strategy" in the art of war.
... "Young Master Yang, it's dawn!"
When Yang Guo's deputy general heard the soldier reporting the time, he quickly woke up Yang Guo who was sleeping.
"Its daybreak?"
Yang Guo opened his eyes and looked at the rising sun in the east. He was shocked:
"Everyone, get on your horses. If we break through the Tartar camp today, everyone will be rewarded ten taels of silver!"
"Here!"
Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!
The deputy general immediately went to pass the order, and soon, the few 2,000 elite archers and crossbowmen in Xiangyang City all arrived.
"Everyone get ready, shoot rockets at the Tartar camp!"
Yang Guo actually didn’t know whether this sneak attack would be successful.
But Su Mingzhe said that everything depends on '30% destiny and 70% hard work'.
Now the Mongols are powerful and their soldiers are brave and good at fighting, which is far beyond the ability of the Song army to contend with.
If you don't take a risk, you won't have any chance at all.
……
Boom boom boom——
The earth-shaking thunder and lightning were heard from afar and returned to Xiangyang City.
Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others who had been guarding the city gate tower all night suddenly became nervous:
"It finally begins!"
"Mom, what's that noise?"
Guo Fu, who had been watching all night and had already felt sleepy, was awakened by the earth-shaking shock wave and hurriedly inquired about the situation.
"This is the 'land mine' developed by your senior brother, a firearm buried in the ground!"
Huang Rong saw that the battle had already begun and no longer concealed it:
"Your senior brother knew very well that there was a huge gap in combat power between the Song Dynasty and the Mongols, so he thought of using firearms to win. After researching, he invented several types of firearms. The one that exploded now is called a 'land mine', which was buried by your senior brother under the Tartar camp in advance!"
"This is the confidence your senior brother has in attacking the Tartars!"
……
At dawn.
Su Mingzhe was not in the Tartar's vanguard camp, but in the Tartar's central camp fifty miles to the north.
A great battle had just taken place here. More than 10,000 of the 50,000 Tatar troops were killed by landmines, more than 10,000 were beheaded by Su Mingzhe's team, and more than 10,000 were captured. Only more than 10,000 people fled to the north.
Wait until noon.
Wu Dunru then led the team back with a face full of resentment:
"Big Brother!"
This time the attack was a surprise attack on the Tatar camp.
Su Mingzhe and Yang Guo were responsible for sneak attacks, while Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen were responsible for interception.
Wu Xiuwen was fine. He was responsible for cooperating with Yang Guo to intercept 20,000 Tartar deserters.
Wu Dunru was responsible for intercepting 50,000 Tartar deserters.
That night, not only did Wu Dunru's army march for dozens of miles, but was also almost dispersed by the Tartars.
If the troops were broken up, then this great victory would have nothing to do with him!
"tired?"
Su Mingzhe naturally understood Wu Dunru's resentment.
After all, this kid is only seventeen years old. He can listen to my command and sneak away all night, which is already enough to give me face.
"without!"
Wu Dunru knew Su Mingzhe's character and knew that he would not let his brothers suffer any loss, so he quickly reported the battle situation.
Su Mingzhe was not very satisfied when he heard that Wu Dunru had only gathered 8,000 surrendered soldiers.
In the view of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Su Mingzhe's reliance in this sneak attack plan was the tens of thousands of mines buried under the two military camps.
In fact, everything is under Su Mingzhe's control.
Among them, the Tartar Marshal's selection of the camp was influenced by Su Mingzhe's "soul-stealing technique".
And under these camps, there are not only more than 10,000 mines buried by Su Mingzhe's men, but also the "Shock Array" set up by Su Mingzhe!
After a night of harassment, the Tatar army was already exhausted.
As the landmine exploded, the already nervous Tatars instantly suffered a mental breakdown and fled in all directions after Su Mingzhe activated the shock array.
This was the main reason why Su Mingzhe was dissatisfied when he heard that Wu Dunru only captured 8,000 surrendered soldiers.
After all, the enemies are all collapsed, and they just let you capture them.
It was just a small job and I didn't do any work.
He really deserves to be a supporting role!
