The Northern Barbarians wouldn't understand Xiao Ruxun's feelings. They only knew how to advance and kill. While Xiao Ruxun was reminiscing about the past, their footsteps never stopped. They charged all the way to the place where they died.
This valley had been set up by Xiao Ruxun. No matter who it was, as long as they entered, they wouldn't be able to leave.
Several of the fiercest generals of the Daming Dynasty had already sharpened their knives, waiting to send the Northern Barbarians to their deaths.
Li Rubai and Li Rumei hurriedly ran back from the frontline with the 'defeated' soldiers. They passed through the valley and met up with Li Rusong. They would be the main force to exterminate the Northern Barbarians.
After they all left the ambush circle, the Northern Barbarians' horse team soon arrived.
"They're here!"
Wang Hui exclaimed in a low voice. In the monocular, he saw a black mass of Northern Barbarians galloping over.
Xiao Ruxun was also observing the Northern Barbarians.
"There are only a few thousand of them. They're definitely not the main force. This should be the vanguard. The vanguard has a few thousand people. The main force must have tens of thousands of people. As long as there are no accidents, it should be the main force of Yanghe City's Northern Barbarians. This vanguard is only here to scout.
Let them pass, "Xiao Ruxun ordered.
"Yes!"
Wang Hui accepted the order and didn't give the order to attack. The Ming Army on both sides of the valley didn't move. They let the Northern Barbarians pass through the valley. When they reached a certain position, there would naturally be an ambush to deal with the vanguard.
The vanguard of the Northern Barbarians appeared in the Ming Army's field of vision. They whistled over and rode their horses, charging towards the other side of the valley. The Ming Army didn't move according to the order and waited for a new order to attack.
"Someone else is coming! It seems like there are more this time! "
Wang Hui growled again.
Xiao Ruxun saw it too. It was a bigger cloud of dust than before, which meant that there were more enemies on horseback. As expected, the Northern Barbarians Cavalry appeared almost immediately.
"They really are the main force. Isn't this a little too many?"
Wang Hui was a little surprised.
"That's not a lot. The Northern Barbarians are all soldiers, from the age of ten to the age of fifty or sixty. As long as they can draw a bow, they are all warriors. It's different here, they don't have any civil servants!"
Wang Hui thought about it.
Yes, that was indeed the case.
It was just that this time, he didn't know how many enemies he had killed.
Xiao Ruxun's battle record was going to add another thick and colorful stroke to it.
Come to think of it, ever since he had followed Xiao Ruxun into battle, Xiao Ruxun had never lost a battle. Oh, no, there was once. That time was not long after the war of Ningxia broke out. That time, Lao Bai had sent his subordinates to attack Pinglu City. Xiao Ruxun had gone out to meet the enemy, but in the end, she had been wounded by an arrow and had to be carried back.
Before that, Xiao Ruxun had never fought a real battle. Or rather, he had never commanded an independent battle. That was the first time.
But he recovered later. Before he had recovered from his injuries, Xiao Ruxun had led more than three thousand men to fight a hearty victory. In one battle, he had killed three thousand Northern Barbarians and changed the situation of the entire Ningxia war.
Because of this, Xiao Ruxun was promoted from a local general to a general that the central government paid attention to. He was remembered by the Ministry of War and the Emperor. He then commanded the Battle of Korea and established the reputation of the famous General Daming.
The heads of the three thousand Northern Barbarians were cast into a capital outside the Great Wall by the soldiers. This deterred the invaders for three years and prevented them from invading Ningxia for three years.
Since then, Xiao Ruxun had won every battle. No matter what kind of enemy he faced, he had never lost. It didn't matter if he had the advantage in numbers or the disadvantage in numbers, he had never lost.
He went east to Japan and attacked its territory, dividing Japan. He went south to Nanyang and destroyed the Dongwu Kingdom, establishing the town of Burma. He made many small countries in Nanyang return to the Daming's tributary system. In reality, he ruled the entire Nanyang region.
Before he went north, he got rid of Frangiyi and took over the Luzon Kingdom, forcing it to submit to the Daming. However, in reality, Xiao Ruxun still sent people to rule it. Yuan Huang's son, Yuan Yan, was the prime minister of the Luzon Kingdom and the de facto ruler.
Wang Hui was a general of the Xiao family. Like Zhao Hu and Chen Xie, he was one of Xiao Ruxun's three generals who rose to power. Ever since Xiao Ruxun left home to accept the position of General of Pinglu City and General of Ningxia, he had followed Xiao Ruxun as a retainer. He had worked hard and made great contributions, and his status was respected.
He was in charge of the firearms unit and had the most contributions among the three generals. He was also the one who fought with Xiao Ruxun the most. However, even he had never known where Xiao Ruxun's bottom line was.
What kind of situation could force Xiao Ruxun into a corner? What kind of enemy could force Xiao Ruxun into a corner?
He did not know.
Xiao Ruxun was not only good at commanding and tactical planning, but he was also good at strategic planning. He was a very powerful commander. In the Zhennan Army, most troops did not call him Marquis Xiao. Instead, they called Xiao Ruxun "Commander." In front of outsiders, they called him Marquis Xiao. Behind closed doors, everyone called him "Commander." This was because, in everyone's opinion, Xiao Ruxun deserved to be everyone's "commander."
Following a victorious general was something to be thankful for, because it meant that as long as one followed orders and did not die in battle due to bad luck, one would definitely be able to follow him and get the credit. Xiao Ruxun would never monopolize the credit. His subordinates would definitely get the corresponding credit.
However, this was also a little depressing because the commander was too capable. He could see through everything and did not need to think about what he gave you. All you had to do was do it. There was nothing you could suggest to change. Occasionally, there were some very important things that everyone discussed together, but no one could come up with a better idea than Xiao Ruxun.
It felt as if he was facing a towering mountain.
Thinking back, when he first met Xiao Ruxun, Wang Hui had never thought of it like this. At that time, he only felt that this handsome, weak, and even a little shy little boy was the fourth young master of the Xiao family that he was going to follow.
The people in the army did not like weak, weak, and shy boys. The army only accepted heroic men. It was better for young boys not to make do with them. You can go to school!
However, whether it was him, Zhao Hu, or Chen Xie, they all misjudged him. It turned out that Xiao Ruxun was indeed a very standard heroic man. Not only that, he was a man that far exceeded the bottom line that they required.
The old general of the Xiao family would not have thought that his fourth son would far surpass him, or even the ancestors of the Xiao family, right?
The young boy from that year had already become the governor in charge of more than 200,000 troops in four towns. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that time flew by quickly. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was unbelievable.
But this was what happened.
He gave orders very calmly.
"When all of them enter the ambush circle, immediately fire the cannons. Roll the logs and stones under them. Archers, release the arrows. Snipers, do not move. Wait for them to attack the mountains on both sides before shooting!"
