Chapter 62: Ambush

Soon, the king general led 5,000 soldiers out of the city to ambush, after the king led out of the city, the city gate was immediately closed, this is to prevent the defeat of the king generals, the Huns directly attack the city, if the city gate is wide open, they will not have time to react at all.

The king led the soldiers and divided them into two groups five miles outside the city.

The king led half of the soldiers into the woods on the right, and the lieutenant led the other half into the left, and all the soldiers hid in the woods, waiting for the arrival of the Huns.

After ambushing the ambush, the birds and beasts in the woods were alarmed, and soon left the woods, and the place became extremely quiet.

At this moment, the general of the Huns, Randster, was marching thirty miles away.

Lancet was followed by 30,000 Hun cavalry, they Huns only had one type of cavalry, and they were all soldiers, young and old, as long as they were men, they had to join the army.

This time, Ranster led the army into the Ming Dynasty, the reasons are very complicated, on the one hand, because the internal power struggle has been white-hot, and an outlet is urgently needed, on the other hand, I heard that the emperor and queen of the Ming Dynasty interfered in politics, and the internal affairs were chaotic, thinking that this was a good time.

This expedition has been going on for half a month.

Along the way, Leinster's troops were completely supplied by the flocks they carried, so they did not march fast, and they were ready for a long war.

Half an hour later, Ranster's troops finally arrived only ten miles away from Black Iron City.

It's a short distance from the Black Iron City, and you can already see the magnificent walls of the Black Iron City in the distance, between two majestic peaks.

Beyond that, you have to leave the grassland and enter a dense jungle, which is a good place for ambushes.

This was close to the perfect place for an ambush, and Ranster felt that he had to be careful, otherwise he would definitely bring terrible losses if he was carelessly ambushed.

Lancet ordered his troops to stop, then sent scouts to reconnoiter in the forest.

The scouts sent by Lancet were soon discovered by the king's generals who were ambushed in the dense forest, and killed the scouts before they could raise the alarm.

The scout had not returned, and Lancet knew that there must be an ambush ahead.

To deal with the ambush soldiers, Lancet has his own way, in fact, it is not difficult, that is, to change the formation, put the key forces on the sides, and the more vulnerable parts, such as the archers in the middle, can also be done.

Moreover, Lanster's troops were cavalry and had good mobility, so in the face of ambushes, Lanster did not have much pressure.

In the information collected before, Lancet also has some understanding of the Black Iron City, which only has no more than 10,000 soldiers, so the ambush is at most 5,000, otherwise it will affect the defense of the entire Black Iron City.

And with five thousand ambush soldiers, Lancet felt that he could eat it in one bite.

The formation soon changed to an end, with the heavy cavalry placed on the periphery and the mounted archers on the inside.

Ranster thus entered the encirclement of the king's generals.

"Kill!" After completely entering the encirclement, General Wang led 5,000 soldiers to kill.

But Lancet had expected it, so there was no confusion at all, and the two sides directly wanted to engage in short-handed combat, and entered a fierce short-edged battle.

Although it was an ambush, it did not play the role of an ambush at all.

The short-edged battle of 5,000 soldiers and 30,000 cavalry, the battle situation does not need to be predicted, and it can be imagined that when they really collide with each other, the reality is even more cruel.

The soldiers of the general Wang were like eggs touching stones, their heads bleeding but helpless.

Charge after charge, each time only to make himself more seriously injured.

Finally, General Wang realized that he had failed this ambush, and his only thought now was to live, so when the Xiongnu general rushed towards him with a scimitar, he felt his body tremble, which was a fear from the depths of his heart......

The commander who watched the ambush battle from the top of the castle tower saw the ambush begin, and then after the battle began, the shouting in the distance began to be very violent, but slowly became smaller and smaller.

The commander did not know whether the battle was a success or a failure, and he could only wait now, waiting for the end, a successful or unsuccessful ending.

A few moments later, out of the woods rushed out a cavalry of the steppe, who, whistling, looked in high spirits.

The commander chuckled in his heart, and he felt that most of it had failed.

Sure enough, not long after, the Xiongnu general appeared outside the Black Iron City with the captured Wang generals.

General Wang had several blood marks on his face, and it could be seen that he had struggled.

The Huns began to camp a mile outside the Black Iron City, and their tent was the gray and white tent of the steppe, which looked low and terrifying.

5,000 soldiers were ambushed, and in addition to more than 3,000 killed, more than 1,000 were captured.

The captives were gathered in the middle of the Hun camp, the archers drew their bows and arrows at them, and the king's generals were brought over.

"Surrender, or die. The Xiongnu general hired a merchant who could speak Chinese to act as an interpreter.

General Wang's heart trembled, "I surrender, I am willing to surrender! Don't kill me!"

The merchant said to Lancet in Huns, "General, he said he was willing to surrender." ”

Ranster nodded with satisfaction, he was short of cannon fodder to die during the siege, and this Han general made him very satisfied.

Inside the city, the commander came to the Long Xiao camp.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Huns are about to attack the city, and I need your help. ”

"What do you need us to do?" Tang Mo asked.

"Raid the Xiongnu camp and disrupt the Huns' siege plans. The commander said.

"Okay," Tang Mo agreed.

The commander left, and Tang Mo arranged the task.

In the first half of the night, the first team attacked and harassed, and in the second half of the night, the second team attacked and harassed, and the basic rules were to kill horses and not kill people, and set fire to food and not burn grain.

The purpose was not to force the Huns to attack the city, but only to make the Huns feel trouble.

The captain of the first team is Liu Xu, and the captain of the second team is Murong Xue.

The reason why Tang Mo decided to send Liu Fu and Murong Xue first was not to put them in danger, but because the Huns were not vigilant at the beginning, but it was the safest time.

That night, Liu Fu and Murong Xue each went out of the city with eight team members, and they turned out of the city wall and fell to the ground.

At the foot of the city walls, after the two teams separated, one attacked the northern camp and the other attacked the southern camp.

Ranster was resting in the camp when suddenly he heard exclamations and confusion coming from outside.

Lancet got up from his bed and called the guards.

"Let's see what's going on?" said Lancet.

"Yes," the guard commanded, going out to check.

Soon after, he came back and said, "General, someone is attacking. ”

"Leave him alone, tell the soldiers that everyone except the guards can sleep as they want. Lanster ordered.
