Jiao Lian was also in a hurry, looked around, pointed to the weaker place of the fire at random, and shouted, "There is an ambush, follow me!" ”

With that, he kicked his horse in the belly, and rushed straight out with his spear, and the cavalry behind him immediately followed.

When Jiao Lian led the team to run two or three hundred steps, he heard a burst of fire in front of him, and several generals beside him fell off their horses.

He gritted his teeth and continued to move forward, preparing to break away from the encirclement and help the White Pole Army leave, but when he saw that the enemy with the gun was dozens of steps away, he saw that there was a bulwark in front of him!

The earthen ramparts were only a man tall and loosely heaped, but they were strong enough to hold back the horses.

The Tang guest was also quite deceitful, yesterday at noon Pan Shigui and Zhao Caixiong were defeated together, he guessed that the official army might come to rob the camp, so he urgently ordered the soldiers to build two earthen fortresses outside the camp, and stuffed the camp tent with dry firewood and fire-starting objects, just waiting for the Yin official army.

As a result, Qin Zuoming and the others happened to decide to attack the camp, but they fell into the trap.

There were also Dian troops hiding behind earthen ramparts to fire guns and arrows, Jiao Lian couldn't see the enemy's situation clearly in the night, but his soldiers were killed and wounded one after another, so they had no choice but to retreat.

After that, Qin Zuoming also led people to rush, but their subordinates lacked bows and guns that could be suppressed, so they were helpless against the enemy's defensive line.

The two of them led the team to break through in several other directions, but Tang Guest had already set up defensive lines on several exit roads, and they were wounded by the enemy's bows and many soldiers, but they never had to break out of the encirclement half a step.

By the end of the day, both the White Pole Army and Jiao Lian's cavalry were exhausted, and before they could catch their breath, a black-clothed enemy soldier holding a knife quietly touched him.

These people were also not fond of war, and after a slight sneak attack, they killed and wounded more than 10 people and retreated, but the officers and soldiers did not dare to pursue easily. Seeing this, Qin Zuoming had no choice but to order his subordinates to form a formation on the spot to defend.

All the soldiers widened their eyes and stayed up all night in high tension before the group was routed by the enemy. Although there were still a few groups of enemies attacking with bows and arrows during the night, fortunately, the white-pole soldiers were equipped with armor, but only about 30 people were wounded.

However, by the time the sky was getting brighter, all the officers and soldiers were sleepy, tired and thirsty, and those who were in slightly worse health were already unstable on their feet.

Qin Zuoming was also ill-equipped, but he still glared at the soldiers with red eyes and encouraged the soldiers, "Lord Zhai will definitely lead a team to rescue me when he sees that I have not returned overnight." Let's hold on for a while, and fight with Lord Zhai's soldiers and horses inside and outside, and the thief will be broken! ”

On the side, Jiao Lian shook his head slightly in his heart, Lord Zhai's subordinates suffered heavy casualties in yesterday's battle, and only more than a thousand people were left who could still hold a knife. And even if those recruits come, I'm afraid they can play a very limited role.

He glanced at the enemy earthen fortress in the distance, and grinned instead, "The duty of my department is to drag the Tang clan, and now we can only fight to the point of one soldier, but we have to drag him for a while!" My surname is Jiao, and I am loyal to the court. ”

On the slope of a low mountain in the distance, Tang Guest raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw that the official army was already crumbling, and he couldn't help but wave his hand behind him proudly and said: "Zhao Caixiong, the enemy army is almost unable to stand up." When the day is dark, you will lead your troops to attack the enemy, and you will be broken with one blow. ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Then a soldier stepped forward to report, "Report to the general!" As the general expected, the enemy came to the rescue last night, but someone in General Pan's headquarters made a noise to startle the enemy away, and he did not come back until dawn. ”

"This shit!" Guest Tang scolded angrily, and then ordered the man, "In this way, there is no need to continue the ambush, let Pan Shigui come back, and first destroy the army in front of him." ”

"Yes."

When Pan Shigui led the team back, the sky was already bright. Tang ordered his subordinates to eat breakfast first, divided the men and horses into three parts, and planned to besiege Qin Zuoming and others at the same time.

As soon as his brigade had finished its formation, a patrol probed the horses to report that a troop of cavalry had been spotted on the north side, and it was coming towards this side.

Guest Tang hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"General Hui, about seven or eight hundred."

Guest Tang frowned impatiently, expecting that it should be those reinforcements who found out that Panshigui had withdrawn last night, so they made a comeback.

He listened to what Pan Shigui and others said, and knew that only the Qin clan who was besieged by him was more powerful in the official army, but the rest were all generals.

So he randomly named a low-ranking officer surnamed Huang and ordered him to lead 500 soldiers to intercept him, while the others still marched according to the previous arrangement.

The officer immediately led the team away. Unexpectedly, only a moment later, the Tang guests vaguely heard the sound of guns coming from the north side, and then saw several soldiers rushing back in panic.

Guest Tang recognized one of them as the officer's guard surnamed Huang, and couldn't help but say with a calm face: "Why did you come back again?" Who is the enemy? ”

The soldiers jumped off their horses, all kneeling on the ground with pale faces, no one paid attention to the questions of the Tang guests, and only said in a trembling voice: "General, general, General Huang died in the middle of the gun......

"What?!" The soup guest was taken aback when he heard this.

This soldier and horse can only leave the work of a meal, that is, to immediately engage the enemy, and it will take a while to fight each other, how can they be killed by the enemy so quickly? It must have been this guy who rushed in alone to eat the fire of the officers and soldiers.

He looked at the soldiers again, "Who is the commander now?" Are reinforcements needed? ”

Several people's expressions became even more frightened, "Hui, Hui general, no one to command the troops......"

"General, the brigade has been wiped out......

"The enemy army is all in full swing, and the men and horses are killed everywhere they are pointed......"

"What's the flurry?" Pan Shigui on the side said in a loud voice, "Aren't there only seven or eight hundred enemy soldiers?" ”

"Yes, it's seven or eight hundred, but it's as dense as rain."

Tang Guest's brows furrowed deeply, no matter how the enemy did it, but he killed more than 500 of his own people in an instant, but he had to be more careful.

He immediately instructed Pan Shigui and Zhao Caixiong, "Officers and soldiers may use small units as bait, and there are brigades around them." The herald ordered the army to immediately turn to the north and form a formation, waiting for the enemy. ”

"Yes!"

The two of them hurried to their headquarters to give orders, and as soon as thousands of soldiers and horses turned around, they heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Tang Guest also hurriedly ordered his subordinates to put horses and tripwires in front of the formation, spearmen to deploy defenses in front, and bows and guns to prepare to attack the enemy.

When the cavalry approached, Tang Guest breathed a sigh of relief, it was indeed less than seven hundred, but he didn't know if there were still ambushes.

But what he didn't expect was that the hundreds of cavalry did not rush straight up, but stopped their horses less than a mile away, and then dismounted and lined up with great speed.

Then, the group of non-commissioned officers in dark green uniforms followed the drumbeat behind them, and lined up in a narrow horizontal line.

Tang was also stunned when he saw the enemy army coming over with such a big grin, but he didn't notice that the soldiers who had fled back just now were so frightened that they curled up on the ground and didn't dare to move.

When the green-shirted soldiers were still one hundred and twenty or thirty steps away from Tang Guest's defense line, they suddenly stopped, the snare drum stopped, and then a chorus of shouts came from his team, "Aim!" ”
