In the darkness, a group of men and horses rushed away only by the faint light of the fire, the leading officer was tall and handsome, and one behind him was taller, riding on horseback with his feet almost touching the ground, and holding a flag in his left hand, on which was embroidered "Ding Kui Squadron".

They rushed into a valley where torches were lit to guide them.

It turned out that there were many horses resting quietly in the valley, and only some of the horses were stimulated by the firelight, making irritable sounds, and other than that, no human voices could be heard.

"Report! A voice broke the silence.

Whew, a bonfire was lit in the middle of the valley, and Jin Man, who was heavily armed, stood aside.

"Okay, bring him here. He tugged at the strap of his helmet and tightened his chin.

Ji Xing ran closer, turned over and dismounted, walked quickly in front of Jin Man, knelt down on one knee, and said, "Qi Jin Shuai, Gu Jun has led the army to the ambush site." ”

Now that he has been promoted to the first captain, this time he did not see the mixed corps, but led the cavalry to listen to the order under Jin Man's account, and today he was ordered to contact Gu Jun, the commander of the second mixed corps, and led the first squadron to set off during the day, and only now rushed back.

"Good! It's time for us to get there. Jin Man jumped on the war horse brought by his own soldiers, "All obey the order, according to the serial numbers of each division and regiment, and set off in order from small to large!"

The valley suddenly became lively, countless torches were lit, officers at all levels were greeting their subordinates, and tens of thousands of people mounted war horses and quickly assembled the whole team.

Jin Man was the first to come to the exit of the valley, and a small team of flag bearers such as military flags, handsome flags, and battle flags followed behind.

He glanced back, and Ji Xing commanded a large team to follow, so he waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"

An earthy torrent rushed out of the valley and headed southwest.

The 2nd Army Corps of the Central and Northern Regions rested in Wakhan City for a night, and set off early the next morning, intending to rush to Ji'an County before dark, the military camp in the county town was much more spacious, and the 100,000 troops did not have to squeeze together to sleep.

In peacetime, the army could not enter the city to rest, but when the Shaodian army invaded Ji'an County, the commander of the corps, Shen Sai, was forced to order his troops to spend the night in the city for safety, so as not to be attacked by the enemy.

"The messenger from Wakhan City came to report, and the city of Warm Night sent a message and found that a large number of enemy troops were suspected to be active. ”

"Warm Night City?" Shensai left the territory of Wakhan City, "more than a hundred miles away, have they been attacked?"

"Nope. A staff officer replied, "The enemy is far away from the city, and they did not dare to go out to investigate." ”

"Well, the lack of siege means that the number of enemy troops is limited, and it will be noon to run over more than a hundred miles, and we will talk about it when we find out the situation. The forward troops were ordered to be careful, the Chinese army slowed down, and the distance from the forward was twenty miles, and the rear troops kept ten miles from the Chinese army. We can't fall for the enemy's suspicious tactics!" Shen Sai was worried that there was an ambush ahead.

When the time came to more than ten o'clock in the morning, the forward of the Second Army Corps of the North China really encountered an ambush, and Shen Sai immediately ordered the forward to retreat, and the Chinese army found a small high slope to line up.

Because the distance between the strikers was relatively wide, the Chinese army had plenty of time to prepare, and the defenders also leaned in time.

"Lord Qiyu, the enemy army is not chasing. "The forward troops were defeated and retreated, and there was a special explanation from Shen Sai, so the casualties were not large, and only more than 1,000 people were lost.

"What kind of soldiers and horses?" Shen Sai did not dare to be careless, and sent two more brigades of scouts.

"Shaodianren, the banner is 'Mixed Second Army', but I see Gu Jun in the army. ”

The forward troops had fought against the 21st Legion, and many people had seen Gu Jun, the dominant knight who often flew around in the sky.

"How many Gu Jun's troops are there?So who is fighting Jing Shuai in Nanguo County?"

These days, there are Shaodian troops everywhere, not to mention the North County, the enemy leaked from Nannuma Prefecture has the North Route Army to deal with, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Nanguo County and Jing Xuan to hide and seek, Ji'an County is said to have 100,000 soldiers and horses going straight to Xiong'an City, and now Gu Jun is ambushed in front, and in the morning he also said that there is an enemy behind him.

"At least 50,000 people. ”

"Fifty thousand, if I'm not mistaken, Xiong'an City is safe now, and Gu Jun's goal is the county seat. Ambushed in front and arranged a suspicious army behind me, he wanted to slow down my march so that he would have enough time to take the county seat, and then wait for Ding Kui from the northern county to outflank me. Yes, what a cunning fellow!"

The more Shen Sai thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, so he immediately ordered: "The forward should be the rearguard, the Chinese army should be changed to the forward, the rear guard should be changed to the Chinese army, and the various departments are ten miles apart, so set off immediately!"

To be honest, even if he guesses wrong, he is not afraid of Gu Jun's 50,000 people, he has 100,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

The 2nd Army Corps of the Central and Northern Regions no longer lined up and waited for the enemy, but simply set up a large front arrow formation and advanced directly in the direction of the county town.

When I came to the place where the enemy had just ambushed, I couldn't see anyone, except for the corpses of my own soldiers on the ground.

Shensai was a little anxious, he had to fight back if he lost the county, and the price to pay would be much greater.

"The 12th and 13th divisions advanced lightly, rushed to the county as soon as possible, and if they encountered the enemy, they could be entangled, and wait for the large army to go and solve it. "He decided to take the initiative.

The original Chinese army had 50,000 people, but now there are 30,000 left, and the formation of the 2nd Army Corps in the north of China has been elongated, becoming 20,000, 30,000, 20,000, 30,000, four parts, and more than 50 miles before and after.

It was noon, and Shensai was hesitant to stop for a meal, when suddenly fast horses galloped in front and behind.

"Report! The 12th and 13th Divisions are fighting with the enemy ahead, please send troops to support. ”

"Report! The rearguard unit has been attacked by enemy cavalry, please return to the rescue!"

The two heralds ran to the Shuai flag almost at the same time.

"Oops, Zhongji!" Shen Sai shuddered, "the hitting army is in formation, and must not go to save the rearguard troops; the order to rush to the county town is canceled, and the 12th and 13th divisions are trying to find a way to move closer to the Chinese army." ”

At this time, there can be no chaos, the troops that were attacked by the cavalry are too late to save, gather troops first, and not let the enemy cavalry rush all the way.

That's right, the one who followed behind the Second Army Corps of North China was Jin Man, who had been on the road in the second half of the night last night, and the 40,000 cavalry troops were too moving, and they were discovered by their own people when they passed through Warm Night City, but they didn't stop.

After they found the traces of the march of the Second Army Corps in the North of China, they stopped on the side of the road to rest for a while, chewed a few pieces of jerky per person, wet their lips and tongue with water, and disposed of the garbage in their stomachs on the spot.

When everything was ready, they mounted again and followed the footprints, catching up with their own rearguard at noon.

Coincidentally, the rearguard unit that had been ambushed by Gu Jun came to the place where it was ambushed in the morning, stopped to collect the remains of its comrades, and the equipment and flags that had been discarded before searching in the wilderness, did not want the overwhelming cavalry to rush up from behind.

As the saying goes, blessing and misfortune do not go alone, this unlucky army was scattered at once, and 30,000 people fled in all directions, completely unwilling to organize and fight to the death with the enemy army.

Jin Man rushed to the front first, waiting for him to pass through his own troops and rush to a place where no one was, without a drop of blood on his body.

"What's the matter, though Shen Sai loves to calculate, but his men are not so weak, and they are defeated before they even fight?" he turned his horse's head around, turned back to look at the battlefield, and found that his men were chasing his own army on one side.

When he was in Zhongwangzhou, the two armies would occasionally fight, and they had a certain degree of familiarity with each other, and Jin Man had formulated a strategy from the beginning to fight the Second Army Corps of Central and North China in Shensai, but he didn't expect it to be such a scene.

"Chase and kill Wuli! Don't chase those who run into the village, there are enemies ahead. Jin Man hurriedly gave an order to restrain his subordinates.

They came across the border this time and did not take in prisoners, the purpose was to kill their own troops to the greatest extent, severely hurt Jing Xuan, and weaken the hostile forces in the Zhongwangzhou Theater.

The cavalry was excited and didn't know where to chase it, but fortunately, Jin Man's order was given in time, and the troops rushed back five miles away, without relentless pursuit.

Two-thirds of their own troops were killed in this battle, and less than 10,000 of them escaped with their lives, and if it weren't for their familiarity with the terrain and the decoy of friendly troops, it would be nice to have 20,000 men left.

Jin Man finally gathered 40,000 cavalry, caught up with his army again, and found that the people were already in battle, and about 50,000 people surrounded a high slope.

Ping Pong, two magic light bullets rose in the distance, "Bypass them and help Gu Jun deal with the enemy over there first." Jin Man knew that it was a signal from the Shaodian Army.

Gu Jun's subordinates were chasing the 12th and 13th divisions of the Central and Northern Regions, and because he knew that Jin Man was behind, he deliberately let go of a distance to let his troops run, and his troops chased after him like ducks.

"Divide the left and right! Don't let your own army run away, drive them to the high slope. "Jin Man did not mean to completely annihilate the 12th and 13th divisions in the north of the country.

He was to take these defeated troops and drive them to the position of his main army.

Gu Jun saw Jin Man's intentions, and immediately ordered to speed up, and also outflanked him in two ways, left and right.

The total of these two Shaodian armies is about 90,000 people, and the second army corps in the north and central is less than 70,000, and the gap in strength is not very large, but the Shaodian army has more cavalry, and the formation is better.

"The whole army attack! Rush down, and those who want to survive will fight with the enemy! Shout at the defeated army, if they don't turn around, then even they will be killed!" Shen Sai immediately made a desperate decision.

When things come to this point, if you don't fight hard, you die, and your army has no other choice.

"Make a hole in the southwest direction and let them run out of part of it. Jin Man sneered, "I don't believe that four legs can't outrun two legs." ”

He understands the truth that trapped beasts are still fighting, rabbits are in a hurry and bite people, and they can't push the enemy into a desperate situation, so they must properly release a way out.

The Shaodian cavalry suddenly accelerated, rushed into the defeated army from the side, rushed to the front of the army on the slope and killed for a while, and then broke away from the battlefield from the other side; the infantry discharged multiple circular formations under the command of Gu Jun, and successively collided with the main force of their own army, and resolved the downward rush of their own army by pulling.

When people see the hope of escape in a desperate situation, no one can stop it!

When some of their own troops found that there was no enemy in the southwest, they spread their legs and ran over, but the officers could not stop shouting, and after cutting down several deserters, the officers also joined the fleeing ranks.
