Chapter 428 Enemy cavalry attacked
The camping on the grassland is no different from when they were in Northern Zhili. They are surrounded by large chariots, and the livestock are separated by a piece, while the soldiers and civilians are sleeping peacefully.
All the things that should be unloaded on the car were unloaded. After all, it was a team of nearly 4,000 people. It was extremely crowded here. There were people resting on the car, there were cargo, people, livestock, and areas needed to be divided and soldiers were on duty.
In addition to guards patrolling and guarding at night, any noise and movement at night will be considered as a violation of military law, and the guards on duty have the right to kill them.
Now it is just the beginning of light in the east. On the other side, you can still see the stars in the night sky. The soldiers on duty at night are already the last squad. Although they are tightly wrapped in leather robes and cotton coats, they still feel cold. They think that they will return to Xuanfu at dawn, and then it will be warm. Suddenly, they see a curtain of a tent being lifted open and someone hurried out.
The charming direction of running was Wang Tong's main tent. The guard immediately became anxious and chased after him with weapons. Before he could do anything, he saw that several people outside Wang Tong's tent had already pounced on him and pressed the man to the ground. "Chi Hei-, why are you running around!!"
Chi Hei was pressed to the ground there, and Wang Tong's personal guards also knew each other and were whispering to him. Chi Hei struggled a few times, but ignored his companions' questions and shouted there: "Master, one by one, one by one."
"Why don't you yell around and want everyone to hear it!"
Wang Tong had already walked out of the tent and scolded him. Chihei was a little awake and lowered his voice and said hurriedly: "Master, there are a large team of horses coming here, thousands of riders... thousands of riders..."
There are only three thousand infantrymen here, and thousands of cavalry come here and they are not just like cutting melons and vegetables. After saying a few words, Chi Hei is afraid of it first and stutters there.
At this time, the tents of the Tan family generals surrounding Wang Tong camp were also opened. General Tan had already walked out. Everyone had not taken off their clothes when they were sleeping. General Tan frowned and looked at Tan Bing and others, and nodded. General Tan stepped forward a few steps and said, "Master, there are a large number of cavalry coming here. Altan Khan's place..." "Let go of Chihei, and I will pass the orders of my officer generals, and each battalion will prepare for the war according to the drill!!!"
Wang Tong said coldly, and the guards immediately dispersed the orders everywhere, as if stones were thrown into the pool. The entire camp was startled from the inside to the outside. Wang Tong turned around and ordered a guard. The guard nodded and called a few people to ride out of the carriage and ran in one direction. "I just said it can't be that simple. If Chu Zhaoren only transferred the Huwei Army out for a while, it would be better not to do it!" Wang Tong said with a sneer, then turned around and ordered: "Judge Cai, you lead my personal soldiers to patrol everywhere. If there are panic and noisy people, immediately marched and dealt with the law. How to deal with it has already been determined and everything is handled according to the rules!!"
Cai Nan's face was a little pale. He also heard the number of "thousands of cavalry", but Wang Tong's calmness gave him a reassurance and quickly summoned his personal soldiers to go there.
Although Chi Hei was released there, she knelt there and did not get up. Her body was trembling constantly. Wang Tong stepped forward and pulled the person up from the ground with both hands. He said with great help, "Chi Hei, you are the chief banner of Huwei Camp now. You will live a good life with you when you go back!!"
Although the shopkeepers also have military positions, they are all soldiers. This time, the promotion of Chi Hei is really a big deal. Chi Hei grinned subconsciously, and then collapsed again. Wang Tong pinched his cheek and asked, "What are you doing with a bitter face? Do you think you can't go back?"
Following the orders to prepare for the war, the soldiers ran out of the tent quickly. They had performed several drills on the road between Wuqing and Huangcun. Although everyone was panicked, they did not mess up.
After leaving the tent, I first disassembled the tent and rolled it with felt. They were piled up in places where the animals were covered, and then I began to disassemble the boards on the truck.
The cart that Wang Tong brought out this time was different from the usual style of the Ming Dynasty. Not only did he grow a piece, there were box plates that were as tall as a man. The soldiers close to the cart began to dismantle the box plates.
The slightest setting on the cart is not visible from the outside, and it can only be clear after disassembly. The box plate that is as tall as a man is hung obliquely on the cart. The half-person height is exposed on the cart, but the half below blocks the gap between the cart wheels and the ground. The box plate on the other side is connected between the cart and the cart. There are iron ring wooden tenon bayonets on the box plate and the cart, which is very convenient to assemble. The soldiers are very quick when they are done well.
The wooden squares that fixed the box boards were erected, except for connecting the box boards, the rest were taken to the center of the camp. The Huayang craftsmen and civilians who followed Huwei Camp began to tie them with ropes and fixed them with wooden wedges. When the boards outside the camp were hung and connected, a two-meter-long viewing building was also erected in the camp.
A personal soldier climbed up neatly. Chi Hei and his team had already judged the approximate direction from the vibration of the ground and looked in that direction. The vast grassland was far from the high place. At this time, it was already dawn. The personal soldier shouted: "There are cavalry in the northwest...you can arrive in less than a moment!!"
The tower was tied up in a very simple manner. Wang Tong stood beside the tower. The battalions were already leaning against the cart with weapons. A hundred households were running towards the cart in a hurry, but Wang Tong grabbed it and said loudly:
"Muen, are you afraid?!"
Muen's face turned red with excitement and said loudly:
"Not afraid, they are just iron men, and the Tiger Power Cannon Team also smashed them!!
Wang Tong laughed loudly, and Bo ■ punched Muen vigorously. The soldiers holding spears and swords and shields were all standing behind the box boards, and there were few people standing on the car boards.
However, there was a small cannon placed on the car almost every time the phase of the car. Judging from the thickness of the copper cannon, no artillery soldiers were nervously loading and preparing.
"When you hold a stick, remember that you will not ignite the fire without following the orders... Your mother, the brazier is not burning yet. Can you borrow the fire later?!"
The artillery Baihu Muen cursed loudly there. The officers of the two foreigners ran to each other. When they saw something wrong, they hurriedly spoke out a few words. Zhang Yubei's voice was a little trembling, but he did not dare to neglect it, and he said it clearly and carefully.
The carriage transformed into a small house was pulled to the side of Wanglou. Wang Tong stood on the roof, looked at his every move in the camp, and ordered loudly from time to time:
"Li Tao, lead the archer... Sun Xin, call all the soldiers from other people over and join the archer... Hutou, stay by the car honestly, why go there to gather... Tan Bing, transfer a hundred civilians to the place where the animals are broken, tell them to pay attention to the animals, and they don't have to worry about other things... Tan knocked Li Wei unconscious. The *** hasn't started yet, howling there is so much funeral!"
The entire camp was alarmed. When I was preparing here, Qian Zongliwei, who was leading the way along the way, walked out of the camp in a daze, crying loudly there:
"Liao Quanzhong, you are a beast who has killed thousands of swords. How many benefits have the Tartars promised you? The young master is still here. I'm sorry to the general. I have a wife, children, and young people in my family!"
Everyone was staring fiercely there. The man was so upset that Gu Nian walked to the guide and ignored him. General Tan frowned and looked at his neck. Li Xian, who was defenseless, immediately softened his body on the ground. Several of Li Weilai's personal soldiers were also pale and looked around in panic. "Li Zi, when he was in the martial arts hall, he heard you brag every day, and the soldiers you fed were as good as you would!!
Li Tao had just brought the foreign soldiers back, and Li Hutou laughed there. The boys were nervous but they were not afraid of anything. After saying this, Li Tao suddenly turned red and muttered, "These people are all wrong, but they are just a soldier. If they don't do it correctly, they won't do it correctly!!
The rumbling sound of horse hooves can be clearly heard, and the shaking on the ground can also be felt. The animals in the same place are a little anxious. The grooms and the people are trying hard to comfort them, and those who are anxious are blocking their ears with cloth.
Except for the people on the cart and on the tower, everyone could not see the scene outside at all. They were all blocked by the box boards. Everyone was getting nervous by the sound of horse hooves getting closer. Although the weather was cold, everyone couldn't take care of it and they were clenching their weapons there.
Suddenly, outside suddenly became quiet, and the sound of Kuang's roaring hooves and hissings stopped. Everyone was shocked. Looking at the personal soldiers looking up on the tower, they shouted loudly: ↓The Tartar cavalry stopped the whole team, less than 200 steps away from us!! "Was that person in the south telling you that there are all child soldiers here?"
On the right side of the Mongolian cavalry, a general wearing iron armor asked in silence. The Mongolian cavalry was very close to the cavalry. While letting their horses enter the queue, the cavalry looked at the camp ahead in confusion.
They were the first time they saw this camp. The huge camp was covered with wooden boards, and there was nothing inside except the viewing building.
"It was said that a young nobleman from the Ming Dynasty led his troops. He had never fought any wars, but he had a lot of money and bought a lot of things...
The general wearing iron armor had a beard on his face and looked over there again. He could see someone stretching his head out from behind the baffle, then quickly retracting, extremely timid. Seeing this scene, the general sneered and slapped it with a whip, and said roughly:
For the 200 pairs of iron armor and other weapons he promised, he had to fight. He thought we could not eat them if we were huddled in the camp, so he let the children ride horses and shoot arrows and rush off. So early, maybe they were still wearing clothes inside!"
A cavalry next to him nodded and immediately rode his horse and ran across the queue loudly. The cavalry who had already lined up shouted and shouted, driving the horses forward...
