Chapter 769: Death Trap
When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, a lot of wind and sand suddenly blew outside Leshan Town, and the wind and sand with charming eyes covered the small Leshan Town in an instant. Such bad weather occurred early in the morning, and the officers and soldiers defending the city were full of bad luck.
Just as the officers and soldiers defending the city kept cursing the damn bad weather, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in everyone's ears. Then even the earth began to tremble slightly, which was clearly a sign of a large number of cavalry coming.
"Enemy Attack ......"
Leshan Town suddenly woke up from its slumber, and the officers and soldiers defending the city braved a lot of wind and sand, looking into the distance with all their might, trying to find out who was coming. However, the power of the wind and sand still made them helpless, and all their efforts were in vain.
When the officers and soldiers were busy, Zhu Yihai and his three henchmen and generals had already climbed the city tower together, waiting with many officers and soldiers for the wind and sand to pass to see who was coming.
And Zhu Yihai and his henchmen all knew in their hearts that the person who came must be Gao Jie, the general of King Fu.
The sound of horses' hooves soon subsided, and the wind and sand that had just obscured the sky began to subside. When the wind and sand completely dispersed, the officers and soldiers on the city tower soon saw the densely packed army less than three miles away, and the flags fluttering in the wind in their army were all the same Dongjiang Army banner and Maozi banner.
Zhu Yihai immediately sneered when he saw this: "This Gao Jie seems to have put a lot of effort into it, if we hadn't seen through the scheme earlier, it is estimated that this would really be deceived by him." ”
Dressed in bright armor and with a red cloak fluttering behind his back, the majestic Qing Huaiwu immediately replied: "Lord Wang, no matter what, this Gao Jie will definitely call him to come and go today." ”
Qing Huaiwu is Zhu Yihai's confidant general, and this time he accidentally learned that Gao Jie pretended to be the Dongjiang Army to come to sneak attack, and he also knew through it. Among Zhu Yihai's forces, it is also an existence above 10,000 people under one person.
"The last general, Qing Huaiwen, is willing to go with his eldest brother to kill the enemy, and I beg the prince to allow it." Qing Huaiwen is Qing Huaiwu's younger brother, and when he sees his eldest brother asking for war at this moment, he is not willing to be weak.
Zhu Yihai looked back at the two of them, as well as Li Dahai who was about to move, and said with a smile: "Wait for the three of you to fight, don't let that Gao Jie escape, you have to see people in life and corpses in death." In the future, his head will be a great gift when the king and Mao Wenlong meet, with this gift, I believe that Mao Wenlong will never have any wariness of this king. ”
"The subordinates understand that they will not disappoint the prince." The three of them immediately replied in unison.
Zhu Yihai nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Go, this king is waiting for your good news." ”
The three of them didn't say much, and left together after giving up, Zhu Yihai turned around to look at the army of King Fu outside, and a gloomy smile suddenly appeared on his face.
During King Fu's stay in Guangzhou, Zhu Yihai had an intersection with him, and there was still a slight gap between the two. And King Fu was the first to take Zhu Yihai this time, obviously there are these reasons in it, and Zhu Yihai understands it in his heart.
It is precisely for this reason that after Zhu Yihai learned that King Fu actually did such a thing, he was not polite at all, and directly arranged the trap, just waiting for Gao Jie to fall in.
Outside the city, the horn of the attack suddenly sounded, and the 10,000 cavalry led by Gao Jie had already begun to move, and the banner of the Dongjiang Army fluttering in the wind was made very conspicuous. As if they were afraid that the officers and soldiers of Leshan Town would not see it, they shook desperately.
And Gao Jie brought cavalry this time, which was obviously not suitable for attacking the city, so his target was those officers and soldiers stationed outside the city. After the horn of the attack was sounded, the 10,000 cavalry began to form and then pointed at the barracks two miles away.
Qing Huaiwu and the three of them had already gathered the soldiers and horses in the camp, and the 10,000 sword and shield arrays were arranged in front, and the back of the sword and shield arrays was the spearman array. The 20,000 officers and soldiers were already in battle, as long as Gao Jie's cavalry dared to rush over, it would definitely be the end of people turning on their horses.
Qing Huaiwen and Li Dahai each led 10,000 soldiers and horses to the rear of Gao Jie's army, preparing to block the retreat of Gao Jie's cavalry. In order to prevent Gao Jie's cavalry from fleeing after defeat, they did not hesitate to use their large army to directly set traps.
The horn of attack had been sounded, and Gao Jie was full of confidence and was ready to sneak attack and run, but when he approached the camp of Zhu Yi's navy, he found that the target of the sneak attack was actually waiting for him.
This discovery made Gao Jie's brow furrow, and he suddenly realized that the enemy army in front of him seemed to have been prepared early in the morning. Gao Jie found out that it was not good, but it was obviously too late to withdraw the troops, so he could only bite the bullet. Fortunately, his original intention was to withdraw the army after a small fight, as long as Zhu Yihai mistakenly thought that it was the Dongjiang Army that came to attack, his task would be completed.
"Reject the horse formation!" Qing Huaiwu saw Gao Jie's army rushing towards him, he didn't dare to slack off, after all, the combat power of the cavalry should not be underestimated. When even the order of the sword and shield array to fight!
The deafening sound of horses' hooves suddenly resounded across the earth, carrying the rolling wind and sand, and 10,000 cavalry directly collided with the sword and shield array of the official army. The impact of the war horse was indeed not boasted, and the sudden collision made the sword and shield hands in the front row suddenly spit blood, and the huge impact force knocked them out directly.
However, the situation of the cavalry was not much better, and while the sword and shield hand were being slammed, the war horse was also turned on its back. The battlefield immediately fell into chaos, and the cavalry led by Gao Jie ushered in a counterattack from the spear formation of the officers after the impact of the horse's speed was subtracted.
The pikeman, who was more than four meters long, hid behind the sword and shield hand, and poked out the spear from the gap between the shields, and the dense spears immediately brought great casualties to the cavalry. Seeing that the further impact would only increase the casualties, Gao Jie did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the horn of retreat to be sounded.
The cavalry heard the sound of the horn and turned their horses to flee from the pikemen. Finally, when all the cavalry had withdrawn, Gao Jie found that his men seemed to be missing a thousand men.
Such a loss was just a shock, and the casualties were obviously far greater than Gao Jie's expectations. He did not dare to attack from the front, but began to take advantage of the mobility of the cavalry, began to circle around the barracks of the official army, and then saw the opportunity to rush up to fight, and after the sneak attack succeeded, he quickly fled, no longer fighting the official army head-on.
The advantage of the cavalry was immediately revealed, and Gao Jie was also very satisfied with such a result, looking at the officers and soldiers who were running back and forth but were helpless against themselves, Gao Jie was full of ambition. The guardrails against the champion have also begun to relax, and they are no longer as cautious as before.
