Chapter 1102: Fighting for Reinforcements

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Sporadic gunshots were heard from time to time, and the hidden Tusman soldiers were discovered.

Chang Wei ordered Bai Shang and others to go back.

At this moment, a group of lancers suddenly came to them.

The leading cavalry general dismounted, saluted Chang Wei, and then said, "General, we found a large number of Tusman troops west of Atai Mountain in Wumu City. They have about 30,000 cavalry and 120,000 infantry, and they are coming to Wumu City."

"No wonder Yadhan did not escape, but stayed in Wumu City to fight us to death. It turned out that he was waiting for reinforcements to attack us from both sides. Unfortunately, they miscalculated. We took this place in a few days, and his reinforcements were useless." Chang Wei narrowed his eyes.

Atai Mountain is about 200 miles away from Wumu City, and the cavalry can go back and forth in one day.

Thinking of this, he asked, "Have you lancers been exposed?"

"No, General, they haven't discovered us yet and are still marching normally. It is estimated that they will pass through the Atay Valley in the morning of the day after tomorrow..." said the cavalry general.

"Great." Chang Wei nodded.

From their map, the Antai Valley is the only way to Ebony City.

Colin also told him so.

If so, they can set up an ambush in the Atay Valley and wipe out the Tusman reinforcements.

In this way, the death of Yadhan, coupled with the complete destruction of the reinforcements, is enough to shock the Tusman.

At that time, they will attack westward again, and the Tusman will have to deal with it with all their strength.

Thinking of this, he said to Bai Shang and the other two, "You go back and count the ammunition immediately, and then hand over all the ammunition to Bai Shang's First Army."

After a pause, he continued, "Bai Shang, after getting the ammunition, you will set off immediately, and be sure to rush to the Atay Valley before the morning of the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, General." Bai Shang responded yes.

Their First Army was ranked first in the military competition on weekdays in terms of rapid march.

This task was obviously most suitable for them.

Lü Chang and Huo An also understood this, so they did not say anything, but just went back to cooperate.

After the three left, Chang Wei said to Chen Hu, "You will lead the Lancers to Atai Mountain immediately. You can send a small number of cavalry to lure the enemy on the same day, pretend to be defeated and lead their cavalry to cross the valley first, so that they will not run away."

"Yes, General." Chen Hu replied.

Although the Dasong army is now equipped with machine guns, it does not mean that the cavalry has no threat to the infantry.

If there are a large number of Tusman cavalry in the valley during the ambush, it is still a bit dangerous for the infantry ambushing on both sides.

Rather than doing this, it is better to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

They pretend to be prey first, lead them to separate from the Tusman infantry, and after crossing the valley, block their retreat and turn around to annihilate them.

Everyone left.

Not long after, Chen Hu's Lancers set off.

In this siege, the Lancers basically watched the show throughout the whole process, and they were very idle.

Now they are full of energy.

Under the leadership of Chen Hu, they quickly looked towards Atai Mountain.

After obtaining sufficient ammunition, Bai Shang's First Army set off immediately.

In the afternoon, Colin also set off for Tongguan.

He and the Beidi herdsmen were also responsible for the transportation of ammunition this time.

This time, in addition to their carriages, there were more than 30,000 captured camels.

Of the remaining Central Army soldiers, 3,000 went to Tongguan with Colin to protect the transportation of materials.

The rest waited for the arrival of ammunition supplies in Wumu City.

Once the ammunition is replenished, they will continue their westward expedition next.

The next morning.

Chen Hu arrived near Atai Mountain and joined Xue Jian and Zhong Fang.

After discussion, the three of them worked out a further plan.

"One of you will ambush on the south side of the Atai Mountain, and the other will ambush on the north side of the Atai Mountain. As long as the Tusman cavalry passes the valley, we will immediately surround them and catch them all in one fell swoop." Chen Hu said.

"Yes, General." The two of them said yes.

Chen Hu nodded.

He personally carried out the task of pretending to be defeated this time.

So, he said to other generals under his command, "When fighting, you are not allowed to use carbines without my order. First, take out your sabers to fight them, and then pretend to be defeated."

Judging from the information provided by the captives in Wumu City this time.

Most people in the Tusman Empire still refused to believe their intelligence related to Dasong, thinking it was an exaggeration.

So, when they showed their sabers, the other party would definitely relax their vigilance.

Of course, it is completely possible to take on the Tusman reinforcements this time.

But this will inevitably result in more casualties, and more enemies will escape.

In order to achieve better results, they chose to waste more time.

After explaining these, Chen Hu ordered his soldiers to rest and wait quietly for the arrival of the Tusman army.

The next morning, the soldiers of the First Army of the Central Army led by Bai Shang arrived.

As soon as they entered the valley, Bai Shang immediately ordered the soldiers to ambush in the woods on both sides of the valley.

In order to fight this ambush, they traveled light all the way, without artillery, only Qin-style rifles and grenades.

However, for Bai Shang, this was more than enough to deal with the Tusman army, not to mention that Chen Hu's lancers were all here, and they had a backup.

Everything was ready, and Chen Hu led the lancers to the west.

Unlike what they expected, they obviously overestimated the speed of the Tusman army's march.

It was not until noon that the Tusman army finally arrived at the valley entrance on the west side.

At this time, Chen Hu happened to appear in front of the Tusman army as planned, as if he had encountered them by surprise.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Dasong cavalry, the Tusman army immediately stopped.

After observing for a while, they found that there were only more than 20,000 cavalry under Chen Hu's command. The Tusman cavalry marching on both sides of the infantry immediately rushed forward and lined up in front of the infantry.

"Show your swords."

At this moment, Chen Hu gave an order, and at the same time drew out his saber and raised it.

Other lancers also drew out their sabers and raised them high.

The silver sabers emitted a little golden light under the sunlight.

"Immediately defeat this Dasong cavalry. They must be here to stop us from taking Ebony City. Grand Duke Yadhan is likely to be under attack." When the lancers showed their sabers, a Tusman general shouted loudly.

After receiving Yadhan's letter for help, he received an order to go to Ebony City.

Originally, he didn't believe that the Dasong army dared to attack Wumu City.

Now, although he felt incredible, he saw it with his own eyes.

So, when he saw the Dasong cavalrymen flashing their sabers and looking like they were going to stop them here, he immediately made such a judgment.

At the same time, when he saw the Dasong cavalrymen draw their sabers, he didn't notice anything unusual and was still confident that he could defeat this Dasong cavalrymen.

Under his command, the Tusman cavalry quickly assembled.

Soon, the Tusman war horses neighed and attacked Chen Hu.
