Chapter 763: The Destruction of the Mu Wangfu's People and Horses(1/2)
Mu Tianbo really couldn't understand what the purpose of people like Lin Jing was in doing this.
From Mu Tianbo's point of view, his own strength was not as good as Lin Jing's soldiers and horses. It would be easy for Lin Jing to defeat his own soldiers and horses.
Mu Tianbo really couldn't figure out why Lin Jing didn't attack them with all his strength, but followed them closely and kept fishing for them.
This feeling of being fished by someone is really uncomfortable.
"Pass my order to everyone to cheer up. At the same time, inform the families and people in front that if anything happens, let them leave immediately." Mu Tianbo shouted to the order soldiers following him.
The messenger went forward with Mu Tianbo's order.
The sky gradually darkened, and Mu Tianbo led his troops to set up camp.
The place Mu Tianbo chose was a relatively open place.
At the same time, the generals from General Zhao Daniu gathered together.
Zhao Daniu jumped off his horse and looked at the general standing in front of him.
"Everyone, according to the report from Ye Bushou, Prince Mu's Mansion and others have begun to set up camp. Everyone in Prince Mu's Mansion probably doesn't know that our main force has arrived, so they dare to set up camp unscrupulously at this time.
Everyone, this is a great opportunity for us to catch them all." Zhao Daniu looked at the officers surrounding him and said solemnly.
"My plan is to send troops and horses to surround the people of Prince Mu's Mansion in the dark, and then wait for daybreak before launching the attack.
You can say whatever you want to say!" Zhao Daniu said to these officers,
In the following time, Zhao Daniu held detailed discussions with these officers and finally formulated a plan.
The plan is to send some troops and horses to move forward, around the people and horses of Prince Mu's Mansion, and semi-encircle the people and horses of Prince Mu's Mansion.
Wait until daybreak, then let the remaining soldiers and horses launch an attack, and the surrounding soldiers and horses will shrink the encirclement. Try to catch all the people in Prince Mu's Mansion within one day.
"This is the plan, do you understand?" Zhao Daniu looked at the officers around him and shouted in a loud voice.
"I understand!" the officers replied loudly.
"In that case, let's carry out the order just now!"
Following Zhao Daniu's order, these officers returned to their teams and led their teams to their respective designated places according to Zhao Daniu's orders.
A waning moon hangs in the sky, and mist floats on the earth.
Under the cover of darkness, groups of soldiers headed towards the troops of Prince Mu's Mansion.
The garrison of Prince Mu's men and horses almost occupied this open space, so the soldiers sent by Zhao Daniu could only stay in the mountains and forests surrounding the garrison of Prince Mu's men and horses.
Although the mountains and forests are not conducive to the deployment of soldiers, they can perfectly hide the soldiers' figures.
In the second half of the night, Zhao Daniu's troops and horses were basically deployed.
Zhao Daniu's soldiers and horses did not sleep. They were staring at the troops of Prince Mu in front of them from where they were.
Zhao Daniu was riding a war horse and holding a pocket watch in his hand.
Pocket watches are not a high-tech thing for today's Xuanzhen, and it is not difficult to make them.
The pocket watch in Zhao Daniu's hand was made according to the customs of this era, and the scale inside is twelve hours.
Time adopts the twelve-hour system, rather than the twenty-four-hour system of later generations.
The appearance of the pocket watch in Zhao Daniu's hand is no different from the pocket watches of later generations. The outer shell is gilt, with exquisite patterns carved on it, and it looks very beautiful.
Zhao Daniu closed the pocket watch in his hand and said to the messenger beside him: "Notify the artillery in front? The artillery fire will begin in an hour!"
"yes!"
The messenger went forward with Zhao Daniu's order.
Behind the troops of Prince Mu's Mansion, Zhao Daniu arranged an artillery position.
When the time comes to attack Prince Mu's Mansion? Let the artillery bombard it first.
However, Mu Tianbo did not know all this.
Because the strength in his hands was so poor, Ye Busuai sent out by Mu Tianbo couldn't run far at all.
Therefore, Mu Tianbo didn't know the real situation now and thought that the soldiers following him were just Lin Jing and others.
As time passes, the moon gradually sets behind the horizon.
Zhao Daniu took out his pocket watch and checked the time.
"Notify the artillery position? The artillery fire will begin in a quarter of an hour!" Zhao Daniu said to the messenger next to him.
At this time, fish belly white has already appeared in the east.
The artillerymen on the artillery positions are making final preparations. The artillery in the hands of these artillerymen are basically mortars.
Fighting in mountainous areas? The most suitable artillery is the mortar. Moreover, the weight of the mortar is lighter than other artillery, so it is the most suitable.
When a quarter of an hour passed, the artillerymen on the artillery position began to get busy, taking out the artillery shells from the ammunition boxes.
The artillery commander stood next to the artillery position. He closed the pocket watch in his hand and shouted loudly.
"fire!!!"
The voice of the artillery commander was very loud, and it kept echoing on the artillery position.
The artillerymen who had already been prepared began to load shells into the mortar barrel.
After a few breaths, the mortar roared.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
One shell after another flew towards the camp of Prince Mu's Mansion in front.
At this time, the troops of Prince Mu's Mansion were still sleeping, and they had no idea that the danger was about to come.
"boom!"
When the first artillery shell landed in the camp of Prince Mu's Mansion, it was like a bolt from the blue, waking up a large number of soldiers in the camp.
"Boom boom boom!"
Immediately afterwards, dense shells fell on the camp of Mu Tianbo's troops.
The explosions were like firecrackers set off during the New Year, connected together.
The flames began to burn, and the tent was ignited by the explosion, burning continuously, and the flames shot into the sky.
Mu Tianbo suddenly woke up and jumped up from the bed.
"What's going on? What happened?" Mu Tianbo stood in the big tent, listening to the explosion sound in his ears, feeling very uneasy.
"My lord, it's not good!" A soldier shouted and rushed in.
"What happened? What happened outside?" Mu Tianbo asked the soldier loudly.
The soldier replied: "My lord, what's wrong, the thieves are attacking, the thieves are attacking!"
"The thieves attacked? How could they attack at this time? In the past few days, these thieves have never attacked at night, so why did they attack at night this time?" A series of thoughts appeared in Mu Tianbo's mind.
doubt.
However, before Mu Tianbo had any time to think about it, the continuous explosions sounded again.
Mu Tianbo casually wrapped his clothes around his body and rushed out of the camp with a weapon in hand.
By this time, the sun had appeared above the horizon and the sky was starting to get brighter.
As soon as Mu Tianbo rushed out of the camp, he saw the scene of crazy bombing.
"Traitor, you and I are at odds with each other!" Mu Tianbo cursed loudly with eyes wide open.
"Master Guo, let's run for our lives. All we have left is to run for our lives now!" The soldiers following Mu Tianbo shouted loudly at Mu Tianbo.
Explosions kept going off in the camp, and screams and shouts resounded non-stop.
Mu Tianbo knew that he could no longer organize the soldiers.
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!" Mu Tianbo roared at the soldiers beside him, shouting three words "withdraw" at once.
"Notice, let everyone evacuate! Don't take all the things, let everyone evacuate, let everyone evacuate!"
Even if Mu Tianbo wanted to organize his soldiers for a counterattack, there would be no chance.
The soldiers in the barracks were shattered by the sudden bombing and were running around. Mu Tianbo was unable to gather the soldiers together.
Under the protection of his personal guards, Mu Tianbo mounted a war horse and bolted forward.
At this point, Mu Tianbo could no longer care about the soldiers who were in the explosion.
Now, he just wants to escape from the camp as soon as possible.
The bombing continued, and the soldiers in the camp ran wildly in all directions under the bombardment.
What these soldiers didn't know was that there were more terrifying dangers waiting for them in the surrounding mountains and forests.
"Everyone, pay attention, the broken troops are coming!" An officer yelled at the soldiers beside him, and then loaded the 56 in his hand.
The soldiers next to him also loaded their firearms and waited quietly for the retreating troops in front.
Not long after, the officer shouted loudly: "Shoot! Give them some color first!"
