Chapter 29: The Expedition to the Kingdom of Northern Hu (5)
Wen Bufan looked at Murhajita's letter and said to Isabel: "It turns out that the troops from the north have not been transferred back!" With that, he handed the letter to Isabel.
"Use our cavalry to intercept and kill their defenders on the way, and they are defending the city with cavalry, wonderful! Wonderful! Isabel said, looking at the letter.
"This De Burzaha is too defensive of his brother, and this gives us an opportunity." Wen Bufan said with a smile.
"But there is danger in Murhajita's lonely army." Isabel said.
"Han Ziming's army should also be in that area." Wen Bufan said.
As Wen Bufan said, Han Ziming's army is also advancing towards Mudra Castle at this moment. Han Ziming encountered the same situation, and did not encounter any resistance halfway. But on this day, I suddenly received information that a large army from the north was marching mightily to the south.
Of course, Han Ziming knew that if he marched south at this time, he must be going to support Mudra Castle, so Han Ziming immediately decided to prevent this army from moving south.
"The order goes down, and the army is all in ambush, and no trace is allowed to be revealed." Han Ziming said to the herald.
Mirto didn't actually leave after receiving orders from De Burzaha. After the withdrawal of those troops who had confronted him, Mirto deliberately withdrew his large army. So the preparations have been made for a long time. Later, when he heard that the army of Donglai had crossed the Great Desert of Gudra, he led the army to Mudra Castle. Deburzaha's order was received halfway through. Mirto has an opinion in his heart about his brother, but he is free and easy by nature, and he is not very keen on power. So I didn't have too much dissatisfaction with Debulzaha, but I just felt that my brother was very hungry for power. When there was an accident in the north, De Burzaha ordered him to go, and Mirto agreed without hesitation, in order to encircle the safety of the Northern Hu Kingdom. And at this moment, Donglai raised troops to attack, and Milto naturally would not sit idly by, so he led his troops to set off in advance without waiting for Debulzaha's order.
The sentinels sent by Mirto naturally detected that there was a troop of centaurs not far in front of them who were advancing towards Mudra Castle. It's just that before we can find out where this force belongs to, this force has disappeared.
"Order the whole army to advance carefully!" Mirto, naturally, would not believe that the army in front would suddenly disappear. So he sent out a scout horse to find out the news, and continued to move forward.
But Mirto's horses found nothing on either side of the road.
Could it be that this army belongs to some castle? Mirto thought to himself. After some more travel, still finding nothing, Mirto made his way to Mudra Castle with confidence.
It turned out that Han Ziming saw the scout horse sent by Mirto, and knew that if he was ambushed on both sides of the road where Milto was going, he would inevitably be sent a message. And judging from the number of the two armies, the opposing side has significantly more troops than its own.
If the ambush could not be successful, the two sides might not be able to take advantage of the battle, so Han Ziming withdrew his troops from both sides of the road leading to Mudra Castle. Continue your way to Mudra Castle a little further away, then send out scouts to keep an eye on the enemy's movements.
After seeing Mirto's troops advancing at full speed, Han Ziming ordered his troops to quietly close to the enemy and prepare to attack from behind!
At this time, Murhajita's Yanshan Iron Cavalry was still galloping north.
The place where Han Ziming chose to do it was a canyon, and it would definitely be too late to ambush him in the canyon. So Han Ziming chose to attack the enemy who had not yet entered the canyon when the enemy army entered about two-thirds of the way into the canyon.
"Han Dong, you lead the troops to attack directly from behind, and I will lead a team of men and horses to seal the valley mouth! Don't forget to do it quickly! After destroying those enemy troops outside, I will let go of the valley mouth, and when the enemy troops inside come out, I will seal the valley mouth! Let's wipe them out one by one! Han Ziming looked at Han Dong and said.
"Major General, I'm going to seal the valley mouth, the army here still needs your command!" Han Dong said.
"It's okay! As long as the army inside the valley mouth is sealed, it will not be easy to come out. You just need to settle the battle as soon as possible, and I'll be fine on my side! Han Ziming said.
"Good!" Han Dong said.
As he spoke, the Malay newspaper reported that the enemy had begun to enter the valley.
"Prepare to attack!" Han Ziming said.
Mirto followed his troops into the valley, and although he had sent scouts to find out that there was no ambush in the valley, Mirto ordered a quick pass.
But not long after Mirto entered the canyon, he heard shouts of killing coming from behind!
Han Ziming and Han Dong rushed into the enemy formation together, and Han Ziming took the lead and led 10,000 horses directly to the entrance of the valley. Han Dong fought with the enemy forces who had not yet entered the valley.
As Han Ziming expected, although the enemy troops who entered the valley had already turned back to support, the entrance to the valley was too small to fight on a large scale! Han Ziming didn't make much effort to block the entrance to the valley. Moreover, the enemy troops in the valley actually withdrew from the entrance of the valley after several unsuccessful rushes.
Could it be that they have abandoned the enemy forces outside? Han Ziming thought in his heart.
At this time, Han Dong was already entangled with the enemy forces outside the valley. Although Han Dong's army was superior in numbers, there were 30,000 or 40,000 enemy troops blocked outside the valley, and it was difficult to annihilate them all for a while.
Han Ziming also did not dare to throw all the troops around him into the battlefield, fearing that the enemy troops in the valley would suddenly kill.
When the fierce battle between the two armies was in full swing, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves from the hillside! A large number of troops of the Northern Hu Kingdom slaughtered from the slopes on both sides of the valley!
Han Ziming knew at a glance that there was another passage in the valley that could lead to this side! I still don't seem to be familiar with the terrain here! Han Ziming said in his heart.
At this time, Han Ziming didn't think about it, and shouted directly: "Brother! Kill the enemy with me! Then he rode forward and struck the enemy!
Although Han Ziming's troops were heroic, they were much less in number, less than half an hour later. Milto's army formed an encirclement of Han Ziming!
At this time, Han Ziming was already covered in blood, looked at the soldiers around him and said: "Today, we are alone in the depths, and we are in this dangerous situation, it is all my improper command!" It's a lot of trouble for you, brothers! But that's it! We can't admit it! Brothers and I fought together! ”
After speaking, Han Ziming once again led the troops and launched a charge!
Mirto looked at Han Ziming, who was rushing over, and said expressionlessly: "End here early, we still have to hurry." ”
When the generals heard this, they all picked up their horses and held the reins, ready to wipe out the army in front of them in one go! At this moment, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and it seemed that a large group of men and horses were rushing towards this direction.
