Chapter 868: Battle in the Clouds

After reading the urgent report, Lu Di passed the letter to all his henchmen to read, and after a while, Duanmu Ci said: "King, you can send an elite army to cross the mountains between Yunzhong and Heng Mountain, and launch an attack on the Hu people from behind."

Lu Di closed his eyes, he had already thought of this strategy, but it was too risky to send elite soldiers to climb over a primeval forest-covered mountain range that he had never been familiar with.

Fan Chi was very supportive of Duanmu Ci's suggestion, he said: "King, sending troops to take shortcuts and cross mountains and mountains, although it is very risky, but now it is a good plan that has to be seen."

"One, the Hu people would not have expected that we would be killed from the mountains; Second, if we take the right path, from the valley between Wutai Mountain and Heng Mountain, detour, I am afraid that although it will take at least two months, by then, I am afraid it will be a little late to save Wang Zitouman"

Everyone nodded.

Lu Di said at this time: "What you said is reasonable, but have you ever thought that if our army crosses the mountains and mountains, then the soldiers who go there must be mainly infantry, so in the face of the Hu people, who are mainly cavalry, what are the chances of our army winning?" Even if our army wins, if those Hu people flee on war horses, will our army be able to pursue them? ”

Everyone was silent, they were different from the starting point of the problem that Lu Di was considering, Lu Di was thinking about destroying the enemy army, and they were thinking about rescuing the prince Touman.

"Edict: Order the prince Touman to retreat while fighting, in order to wait for reinforcements to arrive"

"At the same time, the edict was issued: Wang Ziheng was ordered to lead his troops and horses to block the back road of the Hu army, and the enemy army must be blocked in the valley between Luliang Mountain and Yunzhong Mountain."

"As for our army, we ordered the army to select the elite infantry, the elite cavalry and the two categories, the infantry crossed the mountains and mountains, entered the Hulukou area in the north of Yunzhong Mountain and Luliang Mountain, and secretly hid in the mountains and forests, and waited for the enemy army to completely pursue and kill Wang Zitouman to go south into the valley, and then the troops went out, put the gourd mouth, and built a pass with stones and wood."

"Che soldiers and cavalry, immediately go south to Lonely, return to Taiyuan, Izumo Middle Valley, and help the Touman army from behind"

Lu Di quickly made a decision.

When the civil and military forces heard Lu Di's words, they instantly understood what Lu Di meant, this was to lead the enemy into the valley, and then intercept them back and forth, and encircle and kill them all.

There was no worry at the moment, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and took his life.

The 300,000 army was divided into three parts, an elite infantry of 130,000, led by Fan Chi, to advance to the intersection of Yunzhong Mountain and Hengshan Mountain Range, a cavalry chariot with a total of 80,000, led by Duanmu Ci, south to Taiyuan, Izumo Middle Valley, and the last part was led by Lu Di himself, a total of 90,000 troops, continuing to march out of the Hengshan and Wutai Mountain valleys, north.

When Tou Man received the edict of King Lu Di, his army had been turned upside down with the Hu people, and when he saw Lu Di's order to retreat while fighting, he looked around the mountains left and right, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops and retreated.

Hu people saw that Touman wanted to escape, of course they didn't want to, one by one bravely chased and killed, the two sides were like this, you run away and I chase, you stop me to fight, and carried out a big battle for seven days and seven nights, and the Hu army was lured by Touman to the depths of the valley between the two mountains.

Gradually, the Hu people also sensed that something was wrong, and after discussing with the leaders of Donghu, the leaders of Linhu and Donghu planned to attack again, and after one time, they would withdraw their troops regardless of the outcome of the war.

Wang Zi Touman, at this time is very restless, he originally had an army of 100,000, and now under the battle with the Hu people, there are less than 50,000 left, if the Hu people kill a few more times, I am afraid that his army will be all destroyed.

"Reinforcements, haven't they arrived yet?" Wang Zitouman looked into the distance behind Jiagu and kept muttering.

Just when he was looking forward to reinforcements, he saw rows of flags gradually emerging from the valley in the distance, and then the faces of the cavalry leaked out.

After seeing the banner of the cavalry, Touman was first shocked and then overjoyed, and clapped his hands and said: "Haha, reinforcements are finally here!" ”

After the two armies met, the strength of the Qi army reached 130,000, and now the Hu people are only 90,000.

At this moment, Hu Ren still did not know that the strength of the two armies had undergone earth-shaking changes.

At noon, the cavalry of the Hu people began to attack the Qi army again, this time, instead of being routed as they expected, the Qi army was routed, and then fled south, but the counterattack was very strong, and the strong momentum was as if the Qi army had reached the end of the road, and could only resist to the death.

The two armies were mixed up in the long and narrow valley, and the leader of the Hu people rode his horse and raised his whip, and was about to command his rear army to go to the aid, at this moment, the picture that they will never forget for the rest of their lives appeared, only to see the rear of the battlefield of the melee, the banner was waving, the horses' hooves were clattering, and the Qi cavalry and chariots that could not see the end appeared on the battlefield.

The Qi army in the melee quickly retreated, retreating to the gap between the cavalry and the chariot soldiers, and then heard the prince Touman draw his sword and point, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

There is no suspense, the end of the war is that the Hu people are defeated and flee, and the Qi army pursues and kills all the way.

The Hu people fled for seven days and seven nights, and finally fled to the place where they had been ambushed fifteen miles from Touman, and just as they breathed a sigh of relief and would soon walk out of the valley, they were shocked by the scene that appeared in front of their eyes: "That's the soldiers and horses of the Qi thief Prince Heng!" ”

Wang Ziheng looked at the embarrassed Hu army, a sneer drew on the corner of his mouth, and he drew his sword and pointed at it: "Kill!" ”

His 70,000 soldiers and horses rushed towards the remnants of the Hu army, who were originally afraid of being chased and killed by Touman, and now seeing his old enemy Wang Ziheng appear in front of him, the entire army was completely in despair.

There was an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and the leaders of Lin Hu and Donghu each rushed out of the interception with less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and fled north in embarrassment.

Touman and Wang Ziheng will join the division, the total strength of the Qi army has reached 200,000, and the two brothers have endless things to say when they meet, but now the pursuit of Lin Hu and the remnants of Donghu is the most important, and the two continue to chase and kill in the north with their troops.

When Lin Hu and Donghu were each happy to break out of the encirclement, another scene happened in front of them, which made them fall from their horses in despair.

I saw that the original gourd mouth, now a pass with a height of a man has been built, and the pass is densely packed with Qi troops standing with bows against themselves, and the strength seems to be 100,000 people.

Fan Chi saw that the Hu people were arriving with less than 10,000 troops, and ordered the army to kill out of the pass, and prepared to attack Duanmu Cibu, Wang Ziheng Ministry, and Touman Bu who came to chase and kill, and wiped out this last Hu army.

In this battle, as the history books call it, the battle in the clouds, the Qi army killed more than 100,000 people, and the Hu army's 150,000 troops were wiped out.
