Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Section 61
Kei was caught off guard and hit five arrows in a row, but fortunately he had rough skin and thick flesh and did not hurt the vital point. But the attendants and heralds around them fell in large numbers.
"Order the troops, shrink the ......"
"The rear army enters the two wings, and the Chinese army replenishes the front army and kills the ......"
"My lord, if you remove the rear army, there will be a flaw in our army's defense." One of his subordinates reminded loudly.
Ji Chou's whole face was deformed in pain, he glared at the other party viciously, and shouted frantically: "Both wings are going to break, what do you want the rear army to block?" With our guards in tow, we rushed to the front, tore through the enemy's blockade, and rushed out. ”
Under the command of the war drums, the rear soldiers who were holding back the enemy immediately withdrew into the middle of the formation, and then split into two and replenished the two flanks of the battlefield with heavy casualties. The wings, which had been crushed and deformed, bounced back again. The Karasuma soldiers were killed in succession and had to slowly retreat.
The assault forces suffered heavy casualties and almost came to a standstill. At this moment, Ji Hou suddenly rushed up with two hundred people. His guards were strong, and the soldiers were tall and brave. They roared with rage, like wild beasts out of their cages, and unleashed the most terrible blow at the most critical moment.
Tito's complexion changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "It's not good, Kei has changed its formation." Order the troops on the left flank to immediately draw troops into a frontal blockade, quickly. ”
The defensive formation of the Han army became a cone-shaped assault formation, and they stubbornly penetrated like tenons, and the speed of their advance increased sharply.
Under the protection of a dozen soldiers, Ji Chou barely sat on his horse, bleeding profusely. He gritted his teeth and persevered, personally supervising the front line.
The gap is suddenly opened.
The Han soldiers let out a cheer and fled in a swarm with Ji Chou, who was already unconscious on his horse.
Ti was so angry that he scolded, beat his horse and ran down the hill. The gap was then plugged by the crazy Karasuma people.
After Ji Chou fled, the Han army lost command and was soon slaughtered. The battle is over.
Only one hundred and ten cavalry escaped from this battle, and the rest were gone.
The Karasuma people paid the price of nearly a thousand men and won a great victory.
After meeting up with the convoy full of goods and baggage at Bailing, he led a cavalry force of 2,000 and galloped all the way in the direction of Baishan.
At a normal pace, his troops could reach Huanling a little later. Crossing the Huanling Mountains is the border. After crossing the border, everything is fine.
Scouts report one after another Pegasus, there is no trace of people in Huanling, everything is safe.
He looked back at the hills and ridges behind him, and let out a long breath. I am finally about to get out of the realm of the Han people, and I feel much more down-to-earth.
"Order everyone to go faster, let's camp in Huanling."
Zheng Xin trotted all the way and found Li Hong, who was washing horses in the valley. Arc Ding and Qi Shen were sleeping on the grass nearby with a dozen soldiers who were guarding the tun.
"Shouyan, what are you running?" Li Hong asked with a smile when he saw him sweating profusely.
"People, something is wrong." Zheng Xin whispered.
Hearing this, Li Hong hurriedly left the panther and walked to Zheng Xin's side.
"Tito's withdrawal route was from White Birch Valley, Maple Valley, Beech Mountain, Little Bear Mountain, and finally back to White Eagle Mountain. This is the message that King Black Feather has given us. ”
"However, Shooting Yingtong just told me that their scouts found that the convoy was escorting the convoy in the direction of Hengling."
Li Hong glanced at him suspiciously, but did not make a sound.
"The distance from Hengling to Little Bear Mountain is much closer than the withdrawal route that King Black Feather told us. We are now in an ambush in Beech Mountain, and if Titu withdraws from Hengling, we will not be able to chase after us. I suspect that the news that King Blackfeather told us is false. ”
Li Hong smiled and was noncommittal. In order to coordinate the actions of the two parties, King Black Feather deliberately secretly entered the Beech Mountain to meet with Li Hong and carefully discuss the details. He has cronies by his side, and the information is accurate, so there shouldn't be such a big mistake.
"The Black Feather King's troops are outside the territory of Little Bear Mountain, one hundred and thirty miles away from Hengling. Tomorrow, the troops will cross Hengling and leave the border of the Han Dynasty. King Black Feather can lead his troops to the border and swallow this batch of things. ”
"Why do you think that?" Li Hong asked strangely.
"That's a huge fortune, why not grab it? The Black Feather King used us to kill Ti Tu this time, and it was inevitable that some people in the tribe would gossip and not be convinced. He only needs to take something to plug everyone's mouths, and he can immediately calm down this turmoil. With this huge wealth, nothing can be done. ”
"What if Tita's army also arrives in Hengling tonight?" Li Hong asked.
Zheng Xin smiled disdainfully, "Zimin, we bet that the withdrawal will not go to Hengling." The Black Feather King must have sold us, who ambushed who still said that it was not necessarily? His purpose is nothing more than to eradicate and follow some small tribes of Tito, so whether we ambush Titok or Titok ambush us, his purpose can be achieved. Because it was a bloody battle of equal strength, both sides would suffer heavy casualties. We finally dealt a heavy blow to Titu and avenged his invasion, but Tito's strength was greatly damaged, and naturally he couldn't defeat the Black Feather King. ”
"If the Black Feather King betrays us, Tith will know that we are in the Beech Mountain. He has already decided to withdraw his troops, why should he come to fight us in a decisive battle? Isn't he afraid that his strength will be damaged and he will be calculated by the Black Feather King? Li Hong laughed, pointing out that there were loopholes in Zheng Xin's speculation.
Zheng Xin frowned, shook his head and said, "I really don't understand the affairs of the Karasuma people. Anyway, I think there's a ghost here. Then he remembered something and added: "The exact number of our troops has always been a secret, and the various units are also acting separately. No matter how the enemy estimates, he will not think that we have eight thousand people. This may be the reason why Titu wants to fight us. ”
Li Hong laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What you said is very reasonable, there are ghosts here." Remember to go back and appreciate the scout of the Maiha tribe, his discovery is too important. ”
Zheng Xin was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Do you agree with my speculation?" ”
Li Hong nodded and said solemnly: "How can the things of the Great Han Kingdom be robbed by these robbers, we will attack Hengling tonight." ”
Then he shouted to Arc Ding and Qi Shen: "Go and invite all the troops, Heng Sacrifice Xiaoshuai, and Yingtong Xiaoshuai." ”
Zheng Xin laughed: "People, aren't you afraid that the troops who have escaped will also rush to Hengling tonight?" ”
"It's better to serve it in one pot."
At dusk, the troops packed up and went on the road in a hurry.
Li Hong, Zheng Xin, and Tie Yue stopped on the side of the road with more than a dozen guards, and said something to Shoot Tiger and Shoot Yingtong.
At this time, Lu Huanyang ran over and asked with a smile: "My lord, what are we training tonight?" ”
"Night Raid." Li Hong smiled, "Maybe we can run into a large army of Tito, you have to be careful." ”
Lu Huanyang laughed and rode away with Shooting Tiger and Shooting Yingtong.
Zheng Xin looked at his back and whispered to Li Hong: "King Heiling even deceived Lu Pofeng, who does he want to pass on the throne to?" ”
"His son, of course." Li Hong glanced at him strangely and continued, "Didn't you see that the commanders of the Xianbei tribes were really doing this? ”
Zheng Xin suddenly realized and nodded again and again.
In the middle of the night, the troops arrived at a small mountainous area ten miles away from Hengling.
Tonight, half of the full moon walks in the clouds, and the soft moonlight gently sprinkles the earth. The stars hid, and occasionally a few poked their heads out of the gaps in the clouds, blinking and running away playfully.
The scouts of the Han army dispersed like ghosts in the night.
After Li Hong received the news from White Birch Valley, he jumped up angrily. He kicked the little tree next to him a few times, and he was almost about to scold. He didn't scold Tito, but Ji Chou. In such a good situation, he even fell for the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, was ambushed by others, and the whole army was annihilated. It's a bit too much.
"Is there any news from Mitsune-sama?" Zheng Xin immediately asked.
"Nope. Karasuma people won a complete victory, and they were all celebrating the victory. There were no prisoners at the scene, and all the Han soldiers were killed. If the captain hadn't escaped, he would have ......."
Zheng Xin shook his hand and motioned for the scout to stop talking.
"Where are they now?"
"Bailing. The large army of the Karasuma people set out from Shirakabaya in the afternoon and camped at Shirying at dusk, in the direction of Hengling. There were scouts within thirty miles, and we did not dare to get too close to them, lest we expose ourselves, according to the requirements of the military lords. ”
Zheng Xin nodded in satisfaction and told him to go down and rest.
The scouts who reconnoitred Hengling returned one after another. The enemy did not detect the Han army, they were resting. Two thousand people were scattered in the front, middle and rear sections of the convoy, and did not form a defensive formation. The Karasuma people probably thought that they had arrived at the door of the house, and they were very careless.
Li Hong immediately ordered the troops to set off, and asked the troops to sneak quietly to the vicinity of the convoy, and then quickly deal with the enemy with lightning speed.
Jade and Yingtong, Tiger Shooting, Wu Zhaoli Song Yan Fearless Team, and Hu Ziheng Sacrifice Lu Huanyang Team respectively dealt with the three enemies guarding the convoy.
Li Hong himself took the personal guard tun, the rear guard tun, and the scout tun then hid in.
He woke up from his sleep.
Before he could open his eyes, he was kicked and beaten by a group of soldiers from the Maiye tribe in a daze, and his nose and face were swollen, and he was almost killed.
The assault on Hengling was over before a tea time.
Most of the enemy slept in tents, and a small number of those standing guard also slept soundly by the side of the wagon. has arrived at the doorstep, such a safe place, who would have thought of being attacked by the Han army?
Except for some of the soldiers who stood guard and were killed, the rest were taken prisoner in their sleep.
He didn't know what was going on, and he kept enduring the pain and didn't dare to moan loudly, for fear of annoying the other party and being slashed.
Before Li Hong and his team reached Hengling, they received a report that the attack on Hengling had ended.
Li Hong laughed and said to Tian Zhong beside him: "Uncle is going to be tired again." That's enough loot for your defenders to keep busy for a while. ”
Tian Chongxi smiled, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be gone.
"When you fight behind your people, you know what it's all about. I've been in the army for forty or fifty years, and it's really for nothing. ”
Heng Sai and Lu Huanyang found the knot in the captive, and when they saw his embarrassed appearance, they couldn't help laughing. When he saw them, he screamed as if he had seen a savior.
"Where is the king? Where is the king? ”
Heng Xian shook his head, glanced at him sympathetically and said, "What's the use of you looking for the king, it's not the same as losing your head." ”
"I am the king's man, and I have been providing news to the king. If you don't believe it, let's go to the king and confront it together. ”
Heng Xi and Lu Huanyang exchanged a look of surprise and looked at him with great suspicion.
"Why should we believe your words?" Lu Huanyang asked.
He shook his swollen head and said loudly, "Aren't you and the leopard's troops ambushing in the Beech Mountain? How did you get to Hengling? ”
Heng Sai and Lu Huanyang were taken aback. Yan Jie knew this secret, which showed that he was really the person of the Great King Nanlou, and he was also a person that Nanlou trusted very much.
"Trust me, huh?" Yu asked smugly.
The two nodded repeatedly.
"Then don't you let me go and take me to the king?" Seeing that the two of them had no intention of letting go, he hurriedly shouted.
Heng Xi looked at him and smiled apologetically: "The king is not here, the leopard Lord Li is here." So we have no right to let you go. ”
Yu Yu shouted in surprise: "Is it him?" Aren't you in the Beech Mountains? ”
Lu Huanyang looked at him vigilantly and asked in a low voice, "Why can't we go to Hengling?" What is your agreement with the king? ”
He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It's all a family, and it doesn't matter if I tell you." The king and I have made an agreement to loot the convoy on the other side of the border tomorrow. This matter must be hidden from the Han people, and it will be very troublesome if they know about it. You did not set up an ambush in the beech hills, but you came here to attack me, which means that the leopards already know about it. ”
Heng Sai and Lu Huanyang's faces changed greatly.
Lu Huanyang said in surprise: "You dare to calculate Master Li? ”
Heng Sai also shook his head again and again, and said angrily: "We ambushed the army of Titok in the Beech Mountain, shedding blood and sweat, but you are robbing Tito's property on the side, you ......"
Yu Jie sneered and said, "Why not? The Han people are greedy and insatiable, and they don't know how many things they want from us. What is this thing? You are all subordinates of the king, don't stand in the wrong place and help the Han people? ”
Heng Sai and Lu Huanyang were speechless for a moment.
He then asked, "What's the news of the Ti's troops?" ”
"Tito's army has already arrived at Bailing, and has not reached Maple Valley at all. He'll be here this morning. ”
Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, and his face was colorless.
