Chapter 106: Busy for nothing
Kamuge was from the same village as Ma Jia, who was killed by Huang Yi. Knowing that he was powerful in combat and experienced in battle, he failed to select Bagala simply because of bad luck.
Such a senior veteran cannot be killed easily.
This shows that the incoming enemy is no ordinary person!
Since entering the customs, Kamuge has participated in more than a dozen battles, large and small, and only fought a fierce battle when encircling and annihilating four thousand Guanning cavalry led by Zhao Lijiao.
The rest of the battle was like a whirlwind.
There were often hundreds or dozens of Jin cavalry chasing thousands of Ming troops fleeing for their lives.
After more than a dozen people, the Jin army dared to rush outside the city of Daming County to plunder and kill. Hundreds of thousands of Ming soldiers at the top of the city watched eagerly, but no one with eggs dared to open the city gate and rush out to fight!
It's really a ghost this time. How could such evil Ming soldiers appear?
Kamuge affirmed: "It should be Guan Ning's army. Although there are not many in number, they are all elites. They may be the servants of a certain general!"
"Could they be Zhao Shujiao's servants? They were dispersed and then gathered together for the purpose of avenging Zhao Shujiao."
"Who knows! Anyway, what happened today is quite strange. Did you see? The heads of the brothers who died in the battle are still there!"
"That's right! The Ming army is the most vicious. They always cut off their heads to seek rewards. Why did you change your gender today?"
Kamuge said: "Ignore him, I will lead dozens of people to chase him and see if I can catch one alive and torture him!"
"Okay, I gave the order to camp on the spot. Don't worry, I will guard this place strictly and will never let the Ming troops who raided take advantage."
The Houjin army was originally small, and after twenty-one became corpses, the available men and horses were even more scarce. Therefore, Kamuge could only lead forty armored men to pursue them along the horse's hoof prints.
Huang Yi was well prepared and did not try to escape at all. After running for seven or eight miles, he climbed up a hill and picked up a telescope to observe.
Finding that the number of pursuers was not greater than his own, he originally wanted to lead all his troops to attack with all his might.
Then he rejected the idea.
Without him, it's not that I'm worried that I won't be able to defeat him. Huang Yi's physical strength is so strong that the arrows of Jiannu can't penetrate bulletproof vests and stab-proof underwear.
With such equipment, not only the body is flexible, but also the war horse can bear fifty or sixty kilograms less.
He believed that when hedging against Jian Nu, he could definitely defeat one against three, or even more.
The Hu Xiaochuan brothers, Charahe, Gerda, Langeha and other Mongolian knights are all equipped with iron armor lined with cotton armor, leather armor, and use iron arrows and feather arrows.
In a cavalry battle, they can definitely defeat the Jiannu cavalry.
Huang Dazhi, Huang Dayong, Yue Mufei, Yao Yongchao and other Han knights had a deep hatred against Jiannu.
They are also well-equipped, and even if they may not be able to defeat the white-armored and horse-armored soldiers of Jiannu, there is no way they can defeat those remaining soldiers.
But these are Huang Yi's closest confidants and future generals. He doesn't want to see anyone fall, and is very worried about a tragic victory with too many casualties.
His capital is too small, his victory is as miserable as his defeat, and what he desires is zero casualties.
So he decided to use the mountain cover to set up an ambush, launch another long-range attack to gain advantage, and then continue to escape.
Huang Yi and his troops had been staying in this area for three days, and the terrain was already clear to him.
The chosen retreat route was personally explored.
The location of the ambush was of course proven through practice and could ensure that Jiannu's horsemen would not be able to charge forward.
Huang Yi led his men to launch three rounds of long-range attacks and immediately slid down the south slope of the hill, mounted their horses at the foot of the mountain and continued to retreat.
If Jiannu on the north side of the mountain pursues, he must go around the mountain. According to Huang Yi's calculations, if he deliberately waits for three to five minutes, Jiannu will definitely not be able to catch up.
Being ambushed again, the Jiannu not only suffered a blow to their morale, but also suffered at least ten or eight casualties, and their combat effectiveness was definitely reduced a lot.
In fact, at this time, Huang Yi's men were able to fight the pursuing Jiannu in a dignified formation, and were sure to win.
Still choosing an ambush is just to reduce our own casualties!
As long as Jiannu dared to chase, Huang Yi would continue to play ambushes. Once Jiannu's numbers were at an absolute disadvantage, Huang Yi would lead all his troops to rush forward and annihilate the stubborn enemy with great force.
Huang Yi laid in ambush again, surrounded by Huang Dazhi, Bi Daxi, the brothers Hu Xiaochuan, Yang Shihu, Liu Chuanzong, Cha Lahe, Gerda, Langeha, Geng Zhanghua, Geng Da, and Geng Qi, all wrapped in white cloaks.
Twenty-two people are waiting.
These people are all good shooters. As long as the enemy comes within thirty steps, three volleys plus Huang Yi's deadly steel crossbow can kill and injure at least ten Jiannu.
There is no need to worry about morale. When there are fewer people and more people are attacking, everyone rushes forward without hesitation. Now that the numbers of both sides are close, they are playing the tried and tested ambush again, and everyone is happy.
I just regret that Jiannu came too slowly!
Huang Yi's men and horses were all ready, but Jian Nu seemed to lack courage, or maybe he just wanted to return home and didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't let go of his horse to pursue at all speed.
It seems that there is a certain reason for being "poor and ruthless". The slaves who entered the customs had no money and no food, so they relied entirely on robbery. They were "poor" enough, so they were particularly "ruthless" and therefore had strong fighting power.
The Jian slaves who came out of seclusion all grabbed a lot of gold, silver, cloth, and livestock, and even took beautiful Han women hostage. They must have been eager to return home, but of course they were worried about gains and losses and were not willing to risk their lives.
Kamuge also made a fortune. He also hoped that everyone could go home. He had already scolded his ancestors for eight generations who launched the attack on Guan Ning's army.
It's just his duty. If he doesn't pursue after being raided, when Jia La'e really handles the matter, he will most likely be prosecuted.
But if he failed to catch up, or the terrain was unfavorable, he might be ambushed and gave up the pursuit, so he could openly shirk responsibility.
So Kamuge immediately stationed his horse in front of the small mountain pass where Huang Yi led his men to ambush.
He looked at the terrain with a solemn expression, as if he sensed danger.
Then Huang Yi saw him waving his hand, and the forty horsemen stopped moving forward and turned around to go back.
All the soldiers involved in the ambush were disappointed!
Liu Chuanzong slapped his thigh and stood up and said: "Damn, all this work was in vain, those slaves seem to be afraid of us!"
Huang Yi's strengthening of discipline has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When ambushing, he did not move or issue orders. No one dared to speak or make small moves.
Seeing Liu Chuanzong jumping up and talking loudly, everyone glared at him, which made Liu Chuanzong confused.
He asked awkwardly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this?"
Huang Yi said: "Jiannu has left, the ambush has been lifted, everyone, get up!"
Huang Dazhi, Hu Xiaochuan, Chalahe, Gerda, etc. then stood up one after another.
Yang Shihu pulled Liu Chuanzong, who was still questioning, and said:
"Don't ask, don't you think it's embarrassing? You have been a soldier for seven or eight years, and you don't even understand the orders and prohibitions!"
"How can I not understand the rules and regulations? I don't have a superior here!"
"We are now under the command of Huang Baihu, he is the master and the commander!"
