Chapter 328: The Ambush of the Captives
Shang Zhengyu followed this captive army all the way, and the ubiquitous sense of oppression made him a little breathless. He shook his head vigorously, and the Heavenly Lan Sutra True Qi in his body was running again, and he immediately recovered his state.
In fact, just looking at the strength of this captive army, there are only more than 20,000 people. Although Shang Zhengyu didn't know how many troops Zheng Pingfei had stationed in Fengxin, since Mu Zheng was confident, he must have no less than 10,000 troops. It is almost impossible to rely on 20,000 people to quickly take Fengxin. No matter how secret their whereabouts are, as long as it takes a long time, Zheng Pinghong of Langfu will definitely find an abnormality, and then it will be a dead end between the front and back, and the wolf king and the tiger king will never think of this result.
But what if it was just to cut off the grain route? After thinking about it, Shang Zhengyu couldn't find a reason for this captive army to attack at this time. If they had been hiding in the valley and had come out at a critical moment, they would definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the Great Wei army, wouldn't it be much better than being exposed now?
The suppression in Shang Zhengyu's heart came up again at this moment, making him irritable for a while, what went wrong.
He didn't think about it, because he had already seen the towering Fengxin in the mountains and forests in the distance.
The tall and thick city walls, the solid battlements, the archers lined up on them, and the rows of banners displayed all show that Fengxin is ready to attack. It seems that someone from the previous attacked grain transport team came back in advance to report the letter, and the judgment of the new guard general was correct enough.
Without any hesitation, the commander of the captive army directly issued a new order to storm Fengxin. All the captive warriors are attached to the siege of the city, and the arrows on the walls rain down, and the war suddenly begins!
Shang Zhengyu had already embedded not far from the flank of the captive at this moment, looking at the battlefield filled with gunpowder in front of him, the warning signs in his heart became stronger and stronger. Counting the time for the old pawn to go back and report the news and increase the deployment of troops, it is estimated that the Langfu reinforcements will arrive in two hours at most, if it is just this kind of siege, even if Fengxin only has 5,000 Wei troops, it is enough to hold on for a day, and this kind of attack by the army of the captives is meaningless at all.
In response to Shang Zhengyu's doubts, only the horns of the captives and the deafening shouts of killing were heard one after another. Shang Zhengyu shook his head and expelled other distracting thoughts from his mind, and began to observe the battle situation at the moment.
Sure enough, the attack lasted only an hour before ending with the retreat of the captives, leaving thousands of corpses under Fengxin City.
On the wall of Fengxincheng, a red flag is combed in the center, and a big Gan character is written on it. A middle-aged general in fine iron armor stood under the flag, he was wearing a cloud-patterned battle helmet, a pair of thick black sword eyebrows were across his forehead, and his eyes looked at the captive troops who were receding like a tide, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire. His right hand rested on the sword at his waist, his left hand holding the battlement, his bright silver arm guards reflecting a warm reddish yellow in the setting sun.
Gan Wu, the defender of the new city.
"Hmph, only 20,000 horses dare to attack, once Hou Ye's reinforcements arrive, it will be their dead air!"
Gan Wu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the main general in the army of captives in the distance, like a hunter staring at the prey not far away, the bowstring in his hand had been pulled up, and the deadly arrow would shoot out at any time!
As Shang Zhengyu expected, due to the importance of the geographical location, Zheng Pinghong sent 15,000 defenders to defend Fengxin. But what really made Fengxin indestructible was General Gan Wu himself!
He is not only a strategist who is well versed in the art of war, but his own internal cultivation has even reached the artistic conception! However, Gan Wu has never been a person who likes to show off, this secret is unknown to others except Zheng Pingfei and a few old generals, even Zheng Pingfei only met Gan Wu through the old general Mu Yuntian after inviting out the old general Mu Yuntian.
Zheng Pingfei is also happy to let Gan Wu hide his true strength in front of everyone, after all, even in his own army, he dare not guarantee that he is completely pure. No matter which side it is, as long as the benefits are enough, those dog mongrels who can't change their bones to sell their glory will run out in time and give a slap in the back at a critical time.
With the addition of 15,000 Great Wei defenders, Fengxin can be described as impregnable.
"Your Excellency, you see, the Captives have not left since they retreated. ”
Gan Wu looked at it from a distance, and sure enough, after the army was strictly reorganized, it did not withdraw its troops, nor did it show any signs of attacking again, but only retreated for a few miles to confront the city of Fengxing, this kind of unreasonable behavior immediately made Gan Wu suspicious.
Another hour passed, and there was still no sign of retreat.
Are these people not afraid that Langfu reinforcements will arrive and wipe them out?
With the same thoughts as Gan Wu, it was Shang Zhengyu who was hiding on the flank to observe the battle situation. The end of the world
The feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, but the source did not know where it came from, and it was clear that the 20,000 captives in front of him were already turtles in the urn, but he still didn't feel any light.
Shang Zhengyu simply climbed down from the small sand dunes he observed, and slapped his cheeks with both hands vigorously, making a crisp sound of crackling, and in the slight stinging pain coming from his skin, Shang Zhengyu combed everything through it little by little.
The grain convoy was ambushed...... Mu Zheng and himself scattered the cavalry...... In this way, there is no problem with discovering the infiltrated captive army and reporting to the Marquis of Jingping, the only question is what the 20,000 captive army that suddenly appeared wants to do. Now it seems obvious that they want to attack Bongsin.
But there are not enough troops......
That's right, there are not enough troops! How can the army of captives not have enough troops!
Shang Zhengyu immediately broke out in a cold sweat, you must know that there is a large plain near Langfu, only the area where Fengxin is located will appear a little hilly area, as long as the wolf king and the tiger king want to, then even if they send an army of 100,000 captives, as long as the detour route is long enough, then they will definitely be able to successfully avoid the eyes and ears of the Great Wei army. You must know that at this moment, the army of captives is like a pocket that has put Langfu in its entirety, only the mouth of the bag has not been tightened. And this bag mouth is the lifeline where Langfu and Fengxin are located!
They must be trying to cut off this lifeline, so there is absolutely no way they can send only 20,000 horses!
Oops, they've been tricked! Their purpose is not to come to Fengxin's aid, but to come to Fengxin's aid behind them! These 20,000 horses are a cover!
As if in response to Shang Zhengyu, a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the sky, and a torrential downpour enveloped the whole land, and the north wind howled, rolling up smoke and dust, and then was crushed in the torrential rain for a moment.
A hint of determination flashed in Shang Zhengyu's eyes, he turned on his horse and immediately galloped away along the road he had come, he only hoped that his hunch would not be true, or that he could intercept the reinforcements before they reached the ambush point!
In late autumn, the heavy rain washed over Shang Zhengyu's body, with a biting chill, and it froze into his bones.
====The dividing line is a good kid ====
Along with the heavy rain fell, there were also whistling arrows.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Protect Master Hou!"
"Retreat, retreat!"
The entire Great Wei army was in a mess, shouting and screaming, accompanied by the screams before death, like a soul-hypsophic magic sound, constantly shaking Zheng Pingping's mind.
Just as I was passing through this flat land, a cluster of sharp arrows suddenly flew out from the trees next to me, and at the same time, behind the hill, in the woods...... The east, west, and south sides all suddenly rushed out of the enemy! As if it was better to be the first to drill, the enemy troops rushing out from both flanks instantly cut off the Great Wei army! And Zheng Pingphong was at the front of the army!
Mu Zheng was uneasy about what he was doing just now, and it wasn't until the muffled thunder in the sky sounded that he realized that he had overlooked a very important key!
In addition to Shang Zhengyu, he sent a total of five scouts, but in the end, only the old pawn came back...... Where are the others?!
Before he could feel a chill in his heart, the rain of arrows, which was a little more dense than the rainstorm in the sky, had already flown up from around the Great Wei Army, and it only took a few breaths to fall into the Great Wei Army, and the Great Army was suddenly in chaos!
Mu Zheng hurriedly rushed in the direction where Zheng Pingfei was, but at this moment, the entire Great Wei army had been broken into two by the forward troops of the cavalry, like a surging torrent, completely cutting off his Zheng Pingping!
