Chapter 59 Ambush Yanguli

After Shumulu Yanggulid's order, he immediately brought one hundred Jurchen cavalry and five hundred Mongolian cavalry, broke out of the camp gate, and rushed towards Li Laoer and the others.

Only 600 people were dispatched to chase Li Laoer and the others. This was not because Yue Tuo was too arrogant, but because there were not many Jin soldiers guarding the baggage and food camp, with less than 3,000 people. If there were too many people who came out to chase Li Laoer, the camp would inevitably be empty. Yue Tuo knew that there was a big trouble in the north of him - the Chahar Mongols of Lin Danhan. If the troops guarding the food camp were too few, it would be difficult to protect whether Lin Danhan would take the opportunity to attack.

But if he lets Li Lao Er go like this, Yue Tuo is unwilling to accept it. Everything this person does seems to be aimed at Dajin, and every move is aimed at the key point. If this person does not eliminate it as soon as possible, he will definitely be a big trouble for Dajin in the future.

Seeing that the banner that the Jin soldiers who were chasing him was Yangguli, Li Laoer searched the memories in his mind and sneered in his heart: Yangguli, the veteran Jiannu, the son-in-law of Laonu, this man is invincible and powerful. When the old slave attacked Chenyang, the general of Chenyang, He Shixian, was very brave and had a strong martial arts skills, but he was not an opponent against Yangguli. After being defeated, Yangguli shot He Shixian to death with an arrow from behind. This shows how brave Yangguli is.

However, Li Laoer knew that Yang Guli was more brave than he was, but his wisdom was slightly insufficient. In real history, Yang Guli was ambushed in North Korea and was killed by a bird gun in a Korean soldier.

If Yue Tuo chased him personally, Li Lao Er would really have to be careful. His little tricks could not be hidden from Yue Tuo. But the person who came was Yangguli, Li Lao Er wanted to introduce this person into the ambush circle, and it would be best to kill him in one fell swoop.

"The Tartars are here, let's go!" Li Laoer shouted loudly, turned his horse's head, pulled out his horse and ran away.

More than 300 cavalrymen turned their horses and evacuated quickly with Li Laoer.

Yangguli led 600 cavalrymen and chased them from behind. Since Beile said that the man in front would become a big trouble in the future, he had to chase and kill him!

Seeing Yangguli chasing him, Li Laoer was secretly happy and led his cavalry to the direction of the ambush circle. Li Laoer's 300 cavalry were all three horses. Although he was wearing heavy armor, he could change horses at any time. One horse was tired of running with a load, so he immediately jumped on another horse and three horses rotated. The five hundred Mongolian light cavalry behind him could not catch up with Li Laoer and the others for a while.

Seeing the cavalry in front turn into a highway in the middle of the valley, a Niu Lue beside Yangguli asked worriedly: "Mr. E-san, shouldn't we chase after you? The terrain ahead is complicated, be careful of fraud!"

"Hmph! It's just a group of pirates on the grassland. What's the fear? Men, chase after them and kill them all!" Yangguli shouted.

One hundred Jurchen cavalry and five hundred Mongolian cavalry chased into the valley. Seeing the back of the horse thief fleeing in front, Yangguli followed the people and chased each other slightly closer.

"You can catch up for a while!" Yangguli was secretly happy as he watched the horse thief in front of him get closer.

The Jin soldiers had already chased for more than ten miles. When they saw Li Lao Er's men in front of him drilling into a road in the middle of the valley, Yangguli was a little hesitant: the terrain here is complicated and it was the place of death mentioned by the military strategists. But he also heard that Li Lao Er destroyed the Shanxi merchant caravan, and even the Khan suffered a loss in this village. Yangguli, who was eager to make contributions, just hesitated for a moment and ordered to continue pursuing.

After all, Yangguli was a veteran on the battlefield, so he was still a little cautious. He ordered the Mongolian cavalry to take down the bows and arrows and shoot a row of feather arrows into the mountains and forests on both sides. At the same time, Yangguli ordered the Jurchen cavalry to dismount and wait behind and let the Mongolian soldiers rush in front. In fact, this was also for the Mongolians to be cannon fodder. After the Mongolians charge and discover the enemy, the Jurchen soldiers will suppress their opponents with bows and arrows.

More than 500 Mongolian cavalrymen set their bows and arrows, and each Mongolian cavalry shot at least three light arrows in a short period of time. More than 1,500 feather arrows flew out like hornets that exploded in the nest, making a buzzing sound, drawing arcs in the air, and piercing into the woods.

Zhang Wei, Li Hong and others were ambushed here, and the light arrows fell from the sky and landed on the hillside in front of them. After all, the distance was still a little farther. If it were the Mongolian Qiexue Army of Genghis Khan's era, they could draw strong bows on the bumpy horse's back and shoot arrows one hundred and fifty steps away on the horse's back! However, the Mongolian cavalry at this time was no longer the Mongolian cavalry of Genghis Khan's era. Even if the most elite Korqin Mongolian cavalry rode on the bumpy horse's back and shot light arrows with their bows, they could only shoot light arrows fifty steps away at most.

The Mongolian soldiers fired a row of feather arrows, but found no movement on the hillside, and continued to gallop and rush forward.

Li Hong opened his bow and posed an arrow, and was the first to emerge from the grass. The strong bow in his hand aimed at a Mongolian soldier galloping on horseback. Li Hong has been practicing archery since he was a child. The bow he used was a force bow, which required 120 kilograms of pulling force. Among the Jin soldiers, only the Bayala soldiers could use this strong bow. This bow is equipped with more than two taels of heavy arrows. The shaft is made of birch wood and the arrow is made of fine iron. When shot by this heavy arrow, the stopping effect is very good.

"Swoosh" a heavy arrow roared out, and the heavy arrow shot into the side face of the Mongolian soldier. The sharp arrow shot through the thick cotton button neck on the Mongolian soldier's helmet and pierced from the right face. The powerful force carried the arrow and penetrated from the left face. The sharp arrow neck ran out from the left with blood. The Mongolian soldier screamed and fell from the horse's back.

About one hundred horse thieves holding stair bows shot arrows one after another, and countless heavy arrows shot down from the hillside. The Mongolian soldiers in front had several arrows, and were shot by heavy arrows. The arrowheads were drilled into the flesh, and more than fifty Mongolians who were shot like hedgehogs were all dismissed.

"Drop the horse and rush up the mountain!" After being ambushed, Yangguli not only did not retreat, but instead stimulated his ferocity. He found that there were not many arrows shot from the mountain, and there seemed to be only more than one hundred archers. Yangguli pulled out his golden sword and pointed it on the hillside, prompting the 500-meter Mongolian soldiers to dismount and attack the mountain.

Mongolian soldiers dismounted one after another, holding shields in one hand and knife in the other, making fierce screams from their mouths, and rushed up the hillside.

After Li Hong shot an arrow, he immediately put down his bow and arrow, opened the fire pot hanging on his chest, stuffed the fuse into the fire pot, blew a breath, ignited the fire pot, and then picked up the only fuse rifle, hung the fuse on the metal hook, then picked up the fuse gun and aimed at the foot of the mountain.

This is also the fatal disadvantage of the mesh gun. In ambush battles, the fuse cannot be lit in advance, otherwise it will be exposed. The fuse can only be ignited before it is ready to fire.
