The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 302: Defeat the Northern Mongolian Army

Outside the left gate of Hezhou Pass, Jiang Fan led 2,000 white-robed soldiers and went around from the left side of the left gate. Their target was the Beimeng military camp 50 miles in front of Hezhou Pass.

Three days had passed since the battle of Zuoguan and Youguan. The 150,000-strong Northern Mongolian army had no intention of withdrawing. They remained stationed here, forming a standoff with Hezhouguan.

The camps of the 150,000-man army stretched for miles, divided into three large camps: left, right, and center, each with about 50,000 soldiers. 30,000 cavalry were assisted by more than 15,000 infantry.

When Jiang Fan arrived, he looked at the camp of 150,000 troops in front of him, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. It was almost impossible to destroy 150,000 people in one fell swoop.

After all, there were only about 80,000 people on their side, while the other side had at least 150,000, but it was still possible to eliminate nearly half of them.

Of course, if they simply attacked the village, the 80,000 people on his side would probably just be sent to serve as food, but he had elm cannons, and brought countless kerosene and bamboo mines.

As long as we burn their tents and wait for their morale to fall into chaos, it will be a one-sided massacre.

The first thing Jiang Fan had to do was to bomb the enemy's camp and cause chaos. Then, he would let Chu Chengfeng and others rush in through the broken gate and set fire.

Once large-scale chaos occurs, the Northern Mongolian army will be doomed.

The two thousand white-robed soldiers have already begun to prepare for the bombing, waiting for the fireworks signal from Chu Chengfeng to send their deployment.

On the other side, Chu Chengfeng led 80,000 men from Zuoguan and hid in front of the Beimeng camp in a semi-encirclement. He looked at the Beimeng camp in front of him with a gleam of light in his eyes.

But there was still a trace of worry in his eyes. Even though it was night time, which was the best time for a surprise attack, the problem was that although a sudden attack on the village by him could achieve the effect of catching the enemy by surprise.

But the problem was that if he got trapped in the enemy's camp, the 80,000 men he brought might be wiped out. He could be said to be taking a big gamble this time.

"Brother, do you think my brother-in-law can really destroy the Northern Mongolian army in front of us? Why do I feel so unsure?" Chu Chengduan said worriedly.

The remaining three younger brothers also had doubts on their faces, but after hearing the news brought back by Chu Chengduan, their eldest brother actually immediately agreed to Jiang Fan's plan, so they didn't know what to say.

At this time, Chu Chengren looked at his eldest brother with flashing eyes and said: "Your Highness asked my eldest brother to notify Mu Yuntian to come later. Isn't it too risky? If Mu Yuntian takes this opportunity to attack us from behind, I'm afraid!"

He understood why Jiang Fan wanted Mu Yuntian to come over, but he really didn't trust Mu Yuntian. If this guy suddenly turned against them while they were fighting fiercely with the Northern Mongolian army, then they would be doomed.

"As long as the plan that His Royal Highness Prince Qin has proposed can succeed, by the time Mu Yuntian arrives, we will have already resolved the battle. Even if he wants to harm us by then, I'm afraid he won't dare to do so!"

"After all, even if the Youguan army is under his control, he dare not give orders to attack us! Don't forget, we are all from Dayan. If he gives orders to attack us, it is equivalent to treason, and his soldiers will not agree. He dare not!"

"I am afraid that his trusted army will attack us when we are fighting with Northern Mongolia... I hope that His Royal Highness Prince Qin will not let us down and that we will have resolved the battle by the time Mu Yuntian arrives."

Chu Chengfeng's eyes were calm, but his fists were trembling unconsciously, indicating that he was not calm at the moment.

He took a deep breath and said, "You guys go back to your seats. I'm going to set off the fireworks!"

Following his voice, the four brothers of the Chu family looked at each other and nodded. They turned their horses around and rushed towards the army they led.

Watching the brothers leave, Chu Chengfeng looked in the direction of Jiang Fan and whispered, "Brother-in-law, I hope you can give me a surprise. I'm taking a big gamble with you this time. There are only 5,000 people left at Zuoguan. If we lose this battle, Zuoguan will be lost!"

At this point, he looked at his men beside him and said coldly, "Set off fireworks..."

Upon hearing this, several men who had been prepared in advance immediately ordered people to light the fireworks not far away.

As the fireworks rose into the sky, Jiang Fan saw the fireworks. He gave an order, and countless artillery fire immediately covered the Beimeng camp.

Bang... Bang... A series of loud noises rang out. Countless artillery shells exploded in the three camps of the Northern Mongolian Army. The Northern Mongolian Army was awakened by the loud noises.

Almost all the Northern Mongolians rushed out of their tents. Many of them were hit by artillery fire, causing casualties.

The first to suffer were the gates of the three camps. Countless artillery fire covered the gates of the three camps and destroyed them first. They bore the most artillery fire.

The shooters of nearly a hundred elm cannons can now shoot very accurately, and can almost hit whatever they point at.

The Northern Mongolian army in the three camps were bombarded and fled in panic, with fear in their eyes. The commander Ji Dongkenyou was sleeping soundly with two beauties in his arms, and he was also awakened by the artillery fire.

In panic, he simply put on a pair of shorts and ran out, looking at the soldiers fleeing in the camp and the explosions everywhere, with astonishment and disbelief in his eyes.

He didn't know what was going on, let alone what this thing was! He was filled with a strong fear.

But just as he was beginning to feel fear, suddenly, he heard a sound of fighting outside, and saw several groups of people rushing towards his tent.

These cavalrymen rushed to the front of the village, and some of them rushed into the camp through the ruined gate.

Then, something in his hand was ignited, and then all these things were thrown into their tents.

These people did not charge in, but simply set fire to the camp. When the Northern Mongolian cavalry in the camp saw the enemy suddenly rushing in, there was only fear in their eyes.

It was not that they did not want to resist, but that they did not dare. The sudden artillery fire made them think it was the thunderous wrath of the gods. They thought the sudden appearance of the enemy was a divine soldier descending from the sky.

Those who resisted were hacked to death by the cavalry before they could even mount their horses.

As the camps caught fire, the Northern Mongolian cavalrymen in the left and middle camps began to flee almost instinctively. Many of them rode on their horses and just wanted to escape.

But as soon as these cavalrymen escaped from the camp, they were hit head-on by the Zuoguan cavalry guarding outside the camp. They were killed and wounded.

The terrified cavalry fled back to the camp and rushed in another direction. With the three camps under attack at the same time, they were already unable to take care of one while the other was under attack. All the northern Mongolians could only flee.

Even if they organized a resistance army, they had too few people and encountered too many Zuoguan cavalry. In addition, the explosive weapons were too strange, which scared them out of their wits. How could they dare to engage in a head-on battle with the Zuoguan cavalry?

At this time, the entire battle line was in a state of collapse. Chu Chengfeng, who had just rushed to the front of the camp, saw this scene and knew that the battle had been won!

He couldn't help but be filled with ecstasy, with gleams of light in his eyes. He found that fighting with Jiang Fan was so enjoyable. No wonder his third and fifth brothers were full of praise for Jiang Fan.

This is almost becoming a one-sided massacre!
