Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 911

In the night sky, the moon that will soon be full moon hangs high in the sky, and the sky is full of stars, which can be described as brilliant stars. In this era of no pollution, everything is so clear.

In Bhagalpur, it was noisy during the day, and it was also noisy at night. At the end of the night, everything was finally quiet.

However, if you can observe carefully, you will find that the south gate of Bagalpur opened a crack, and about 100 soldiers flashed out, and then disappeared into the night in a small group of ten people in a fan shape.

On the top of the city, a few generals have been staring outside. I don't know how long it took, and finally found the agreed signal in the distance, which disappeared in a flash.

Then, on the top of the city, two of the generals whispered to the same person: "Duke, let's go!"

The Ye Bucha who went out just now was to clear the way for the night raid team. The signal came, indicating that the front was safe.

After hearing this, Mu Tianbo immediately became a little nervous again, but he still restrained himself, nodded immediately, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I'll wait for your triumphant return!"

He Jin and Liu Xiyao looked at Ma Shouying and He Yilong with some envy and said, "Go, we will take care of you!"

Afterwards, the soldiers selected for the night attack quietly began to leave the city, and finally merged into the night.

On the streets of the city, teams of support soldiers also began to gather, waiting for the start of the battle outside!
Although the moonlight was bright, the outside of the city was full of potholes, and the soldiers of the Ming army who attacked at night did not follow the official path, especially some soldiers had to run without conscience, so they did not walk fast.

But no matter how unhappy, as time passed, they finally slowly approached the camp of the Mughal Empire army in the distance.

The camp they chose was set up by the local army of the Mughal Empire during the day.

The benefits of doing so really showed up.

Yebushu, who found out earlier, discovered that the guarding sentry outside the camp was actually sleeping, which gave the Ming army more time to approach the camp.

Generally speaking, when the army sets up camp, they are particular about it, and they must guard against the enemy stealing the camp.

The most common method of this is to send sentries in the field outside the camp, so as to facilitate early detection of night-attack enemies.Then, there must be corresponding measures for the camping of the big camp, and most of the inspectors are the elite in the army and the kind with quick response.

If there is an enemy attack at night, it is necessary to be able to resist the first wave of the enemy's attack, so that the general in the army can organize more troops in time to defend against the enemy who counterattacks the night attack.

If the lieutenant general has experience, there will be more measures to prevent night attacks.

Also because of this, night attack is not an easy task.In China's thousands of years of history, there are not many cases of successful night raids. Of course, there are some.

But this time, the Ming army had already sneaked up outside the camp of the Mughal Empire army, but they were still not found.Obviously, the tossing during the day made the soldiers of the Mughal Empire exhausted.

Ma Shouying and He Yilong were about to start stealing the camp according to the plan. At this moment, He Yilong suddenly stopped, and then said to Ma Shouying with a little surprise: "Do you feel it? The wind is blowing!"

"Well, it seems that the wind is really strong!" Ma Shouying responded immediately after hearing this, and then suddenly said in surprise: "Burning with the wind?"

The army of the Mughal Empire was too large. Therefore, not to mention the camps stretching for tens of miles, under the "hungry and hungry", they had to camp on any terrain.And because of the hot weather, those elite troops chose to camp in places with overgrown trees and trees, where it was relatively cool.

In addition, due to the large number of troops, the camps allocated to each army were very small. Not only were the tents in the camp connected, but the distance between the camps of each army was also limited.

Moreover, as soon as the Mughal Empire army arrived in Bagalpur, they immediately started to attack, and did not spend much thought on camping. Not to mention, because of the failure of the water battle, they were afraid that the artillery on the Ming army's warship would bombard the camp at night, There was a lot of tossing.

Under various factors, the factor of the wind immediately created very good conditions for Huo Gong.

Whether it was Ma Shouying or He Yilong, they were veterans who had fought for many years. After a storm, they knew that there was a huge opportunity in front of them.

"It seems that this wind will not stop for a while, it is a chance given to us by God!" He Yilong emphasized excitedly, "What are you going to do?"

"Do it!" Ma Shouying nodded without hesitation.

The two discussed it immediately, and while sending people back to report the battle plan, they divided their forces into two groups to create even greater chaos.

If you want to maximize the results of the battle, instead of just attacking and chaotic enemy troops at night, the best time is to arrive at dawn after causing great chaos to the enemy, so that it is convenient for the Ming army to chase the enemy. kill.

Otherwise, the black lights are blind, and the Ming army is mostly a firearms force, so they can't load ammunition at all!

Both Ma Shouying and He Yilong were experienced, and the battle plan they changed according to the current situation was quickly sent back to the city of Bhagalpur.

When Mu Tianbo heard that the night raid was going to be expanded, he immediately hesitated again. This was not in line with the imperial court's strategy.According to what Governor Yang Weizhi told him, there will be a constant battle here, consuming the Mughal Empire army, and then Qinghai-Tibet Governor Li Yan's army will launch an offensive against the capital of the Mughal Empire at the appointed time, disrupting the Mughal Empire. The rear of the empire caused chaos in the army of the Mughal empire, and finally won the battle.

But now, according to Ma Shouying's plan, it was time to decide the winner.

He was hesitating, but He Jin and other generals were overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Mu Tianbo: "This is a rare fighter opportunity, God is helping us, and the wind is blowing, Duke, give the order!"

"Yes, Duke, don't miss this opportunity and never come again!"

"..."

Hearing their invitation to fight, Mu Tianbo turned his head to look at the Prime Minister, Li Ruolian, commander of Jinyiwei. Obviously, he didn't dare to make such a big decision by himself, and wanted to see Li Ruolian's opinion.

According to the regulations of the imperial court, the supervising army does not actually participate in the decision-making of military operations.

However, Li Ruolian had a conversation with Mu Tianbo, and he knew that he was worried.Furthermore, Li Ruolian has been with the army since Chongzhen 15 years ago. Although he did not participate in decision-making, he has experience in all kinds of wars, and he is more courageous than Mu Tianbo.

At this time, seeing Mu Tianbo looking at him, he nodded vigorously and said, "We can fight, even if it doesn't go well, with our army's combat strength, we can definitely retreat!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Tianbo no longer had to worry about the future, and immediately agreed to the idea of ​​fighting a big war.

As a result, emergency mobilization immediately began in the city of Bagalpur.

All the soldiers on rest were woken up to prepare for the battle.The soldiers who had been preparing before even brought something to light the fire, and went out of the city first to support the comrades who attacked at night.

Time passed slowly, and the camp of the Mughal Empire army was still calm, and there was no special reaction.

The horses who received reinforcements responded to them, more confident, looked at the night, estimated the time, and finally started to move, approaching the Mughal Empire barracks, ready to attack.

Under the night, the flintlock is actually useless, only a pre-loaded shot can be used.The main method of night attack is still to consider some of the bows and arrows carried, as well as the grenades of the grenadiers and the bombardment of unscrupulous artillery.

Therefore, the soldiers who attacked at night must be close enough to the Mughal Empire barracks.This inevitably increases the risk of being discovered.

No, on He Yilong's side, when the lurking ground was getting closer and closer, suddenly, dogs barked in the Mughal enemy barracks.

That's right, generally speaking, there may be military dogs in the night defense measures of the military camp.Compared with humans, military dogs are more reliable.

Under the silence of the night, the sound of the dog barking was very clear, and it could be heard far away at once.

The inspecting Mughal Empire soldiers began to check for movement.After all, the barking of military dogs may also be caused by false alarms.

However, under the darkness, not far away, a group of soldiers patrolled out of the camp, leading military dogs outside to inspect the situation.

He Yilong didn't care about them, he was already lurking close enough anyway, so he directly ordered to shoot and kill the patrolling Mughal Empire soldiers, launched an offensive formation, and launched an attack on the enemy camp.

"what……"

The screams of the patrolling soldiers could be heard far away under the night.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

The Mughal Empire soldiers patrolling in the camp shouted loudly, and then rang the alarm gong for enemy attack.

Under normal circumstances, soldiers on patrol and on duty will first resist the enemy's attack and give other soldiers who are resting time to gather.

If they can withstand the enemy's attack and wait until the other soldiers complete the formation and start reinforcements, then they can win.

Conversely, if you can't resist, and the other soldiers are rushed into the camp by the enemy before they have time to complete the team, they will easily collapse.

That's how wars are, you come and go, and see who has the upper hand.

Unfortunately, although the patrolmen of the Mughal Empire discovered the Ming army, they were a little late in time. Not to mention, the Mughal soldiers had been making a fuss all day, and this time was really the sleepiest time.

In their sleep, they were just woken up by the sound of the police gong, and before they had time to react, they heard a loud noise.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Blah blah blah..."

The grenade, thrown into the camp by the grenadiers, happened to blow up the patrolmen who had assembled for defense first, and the unscrupulous cannon with a longer range fell deeper into the camp under the night. After the fuse burned out, it was More deafening sound.

There are also some soldiers of the Ming army who use bows and arrows to shoot rockets, especially at the tents in the camp.

The sound of muskets was also mixed with the sound of firecrackers, and there were countless Ming soldiers shouting to kill amid the excitement.

It only took a very short time for the silence to suddenly turn into the sound of gunfire.

The soldiers of the Mughal Empire who were attacked were stunned!
