Chapter 288: Staying Firm for Help (2)

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Yuan immediately sent scouts in the direction of Rao'an to inquire about the movements of Huang Jingyuan's army. At the same time, it is also armed at the top of the mountain. Because yesterday was night after all, and the tent could only be stationed at the top of the mountain, and the fortifications could not be arranged.

Gao Yuan first ordered Ling Feng to lead three hundred cavalry troops to leave the top of the mountain, hide in the dense forest near the hill, and make an appointment to make a signal as a surprise soldier. The others stayed at the top of the hill, unloaded all the goods from the wagons, pushed the wagons to the road, locked the wheels, and joined them side by side, forming two lines of defense on the mountainside, and cutting down the timber as a block, and building the earth as a wall, and arranging the defensive line.

And Hongxiu also cooperated with the orders of the plateau very much, commanded his own people, and arranged according to the orders of the plateau. However, Gao Yuan also found that the movements of this group of people under Hongxiu were not as good as the soldiers of the Wu'an Army, but they were obviously well-trained and not an ordinary rabble.

By noon, sure enough, an army came in the direction of the camp, numbering about fifteen hundred, and this time they did not pretend to be robbers, they were all regular troops, but did not raise their banners. However, the whole army was dominated by infantry, with only about 20 combat vehicles. At this time, the defenders on the mountain were only more than 1,000 people, so the number of this army alone would exceed the defenders on the mountain.

The regular army and the robbers are naturally very different, whether it is the appearance of the army or the momentum, it is much more terrifying, because it is more than 20 chariots, lined up in front of the formation, the flag fluttering, it is indeed powerful. However, the soldiers of the Wu'an Army have not seen any scenes, so they will be afraid of these, they are all calm as usual, what to do and what to do, and the Qi army under the mountain is nothing, and although the coachman is a little nervous, he can still hold on, but the people under Hongxiu are a little unnatural, and even Hongxiu's breathing is not a little rougher.

Gao Yuan glanced at him and said, "Mr. Hong, do you know how many troops there are in Rao'an City?" ”

Hong Xiu said: "There are about more than 10,000 people. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Then this army is just the vanguard. It seems that the army is still behind. ”

Hongxiu smiled bitterly and said, "Master Li, do you think we can hold the mountain?" ”

Gao Yuan smiled: "It's too early to guard the mountain now." ”

Hongxiu was stunned for a moment and said, "It's early?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "Yes, now it is only Huang Jingyuan's vanguard army, we should take advantage of the fact that their army has not arrived, first give them a head-on blow, first dampen their morale, and wait for their army to arrive, it will not be too late for us to defend the mountain." ”

Hongxiu was also taken aback, in his opinion, it was very good to be able to hold the mountain, and Gao Yuan actually wanted to give the Qi army a head-on blow first, this courage was a little too big.

At this moment, I saw three chariots come out of the crowd, and on one of the chariots in the middle, a general stood, looking up at the hill, and said loudly: "Listen, all the people on the mountain, you have no way to go, surrender quickly, but spare you if you don't die, if not, wait for us to attack the mountain, and kill you without a single piece of armor." ”

Gao Yuan's heart moved, and he said, "You come to answer him, don't tell us." ”

Hongxiu understood and said loudly: "This general, we are still Canghaijun's caravan, transporting seafood for Anpingjun, why are you leading the army to besiege us, are you afraid that Anpingjun will blame you?" ”

The general laughed and said, "Do you think I don't know? What are the intentions of the seafood you are transporting this time, but armor and weapons, which are transported into Linzi? As long as your caravan is taken down and the people are dirty, Tian Kezang is afraid that he will also die, and you are still working for Tian Kezang now, and you will all die without a place to be buried. ”

Hongxiu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, although he also estimated that the matter of transporting armor and weapons had been revealed, but he was still a little shocked when he was told in public, and he didn't know what Gao Yuan thought, after all, he didn't tell Gao Yuan what they actually transported yesterday, but peeked at Gao Yuan, and saw that he looked normal, and he didn't seem surprised at all.

Gao Yuan smiled: "This person has a bit of mouth. Li Kang, Li Wei. ”

Hearing the shouts of the plateau, among the thirty-six cavalry guards of the surging wind, there were two young men of about thirty, who immediately took a step forward side by side, and said in unison: "My lord, the last general will be." ”

Li Kang and Li Wei are both Li Mu's clansmen, they used to be Li Mu's guards, and now they are the guard captains and deputy guards of the 36 Cavalry Guards of the Rapid Wind.

Gao Yuan said: "The two of you immediately led the thirty-six cavalry guards of the rapid wind and two hundred cavalry to kill down the mountain and defeat this Qi army, there must be no mistake." ”

The two immediately said in unison: "Yes." "Then immediately go and gather men.

And Hongxiu listened to it on the side, but he almost screamed, using two hundred and thirty-six people to attack more than 1,500 people, and he had to defeat this army, if it wasn't for the scene where he saw the Wu'an army defeating the robbers yesterday, Hongxiu would almost have to wonder if Gao Yuan was stupid.

At this time, Gao Yuan said again: "Mr. Hong, you go and get your people ready for battle, and when we defeat the Qi army, we will immediately kill and go down the mountain and pursue the victory." ”

The more Hongxiu listened, the more outrageous he felt, this battle hadn't started yet? Gao Yuan was thinking about the pursuit after defeating the opponent, is there such a battle? But he had already promised Gao Yuan, and he listened to Gao Yuan's command every time, so he didn't have to say anything, so he had to agree, and turned around to recruit his own men.

Just when Hongxiu had just left, the Qi army under the mountain suddenly became chaotic, and it turned out that a cavalry army came out from behind the Qi army, and it was the cavalry army led by Ling Feng sent by the plateau to ambush in the dense forest under the mountain.

This cavalry army consisted of one hundred and fifty soldiers of the Accumulation Warrior Army and one hundred and fifty soldiers of the Scout Army, and now Ling Feng first sent Ah Ran Shi Qimo to lead the Fan Warrior Army to the left rear of the Qi army.

At this time, Qi Guo's attention was all on the mountain in front of him, and no one thought that the other party would attack him, and he killed him from behind, but he was caught off guard by the Fan Yong army. In addition, the Fan Yong Army launched the first wave of attacks with bows and arrows, and many soldiers felt a pain in their backs before they turned around, and then fell to the ground.

By the time the Qi army reacted, nearly 100 people had been shot dead and wounded. And the Fan Yongjun is using an arc attack, at this time it has already circled an arc and ran away, and the Qi army pursued for a while, but how can two legs catch up with four legs? What's more, the Fan Yongjun ran on one side and shot arrows backwards on the other, but the Qi army chased for three or four miles, and was shot dead by thirty or forty people, and the rest of the people were also tired and panting, and seeing that the opponent's bow and arrow were powerful, they had to stop the pursuit and return to their own team. But as soon as the Qi army retreated, the Fan Yongjun immediately turned their horses again, killed them back, chased behind the Qi army, and fired another fierce shot, and as a result, the Qi army shot down more than 20 people. When the Qi army turned its head, the Fan Yongjun immediately pulled out their horses and left, making the Qi army invincible.

At this time, Ling Feng also led another 150 scouts to kill from the right rear of the Qi army, using the same tactics as the Fan Yong army, using the fast mobility of war horses, and not directly engaging the Qi army, but using the guerrilla tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and advancing. As a result, the two cavalry armies flanked left and right, and only rushed back and forth to kill two or three times, and then the Qi army was dizzy, dizzy, and the array was in chaos. And General Qi, who was originally shouting in front of the battle, saw it and hurriedly led more than 20 chariots to the rear.

But now the queue of the Qi army has been in chaos, and there are no soldiers to give way to the chariot at all, and as a result, the chariot is only half gone, and it is blocked by Shi Qiao of the Qi army, and he can't move. At this moment, only to hear a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, the Qi general looked back, only to see a group of cavalry down from the mountain again, attacking the front of the Qi country.

Originally, the Qi army was still very tightly guarded on the front, and if the Wu'an army really attacked from the front, even if it could break through the position of the Qi army, there would be a lot of casualties. But now the Qi army's attention is all on the rear, and as a result, the front is ignored. And the cavalry of this Wu'an army was condescending and overwhelming, first of all, a round of bow and arrow shooting, which knocked down the Qi army, and then each raised his sword and waved his spear, killing into the array of the Qi army.

The Qi army has not fought for many years, and among the soldiers of the Qi army who came to attack this time, very few have really seen blood, and it is estimated that it is too much to stretch out two hands, and the vast majority of soldiers even officially went to the battlefield for the first time in their lives. If the two sides fought face-to-face with gongs and drums, the Qi army might be able to withstand it for a while and not be defeated immediately, but in this situation, no one knows what to do? You can only instinctively retreat backwards.

Even if there were a few brave Qi soldiers, they still wanted to resist for a while, but they were all involuntarily coerced by the brigade and fled backwards, and the more than 30 chariots caught in the army couldn't even turn around, and the soldiers on the cars also jumped and fled for their lives.

At this time, on the hill, Hongxiu had just recruited manpower, although his convoy had more than 600 people, but in addition to the coachman, foot force, men and others, the escort personnel were less than 400 people, and they were all recruited by Hongxiu. But when he came to the side of the plateau, Hongxiu almost thought that he was dazzled, and it was only a little bit of effort that the Qi State was really defeated by these two or three hundred cavalry. Therefore, Hongxiu stared at the plateau, thinking in his heart, does this guy have any spells and magic weapons, otherwise how could he be so godly.

Gao Yuan smiled: "Mr. Hong, let's attack quickly, if it's a little later, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with them." ”

When Hongxiu heard this, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly ordered the guards to kill them down the mountain.
