Chapter 272: Temptation
On Fan Yi's side, although there are more than 20,000 people and horses, but when he came, he did not fully gather at the city gate here in a short period of time, and the people and horses who went out of the city to fight were only more than 10,000 people.
And even the weapons held by those soldiers and horses who went out of the city to fight were mostly wooden guns, and only the heads of guns were made of iron.
The main reason is that although the country of Linyi was established by the Great Han Gongcao District, the iron-making technology is not yet advanced. There is no way to compare with the Han Dynasty, and in many cases, the manufacture of weapons is imported and purchased from those traders in Ninan County.
The things that were purchased naturally could not be the same as those used by the soldiers under Liu Zheng's command, they were all defective products.
The soldiers of Lin Yi Kingdom naturally couldn't reflect it before, because most of the enemies who fought with them were county soldiers from Rinan County, and those people in those counties who didn't have any people and horses, and who had a little strength, were all transferred away by Zhu Fu before.
The later county soldiers were all improvised peasants with little combat effectiveness.
And now, the Liu Zhengjun encountered by these soldiers of Lin Yiguo is not the soldiers and horses who had little combat power before.
As soon as the soldiers and horses of the two sides came into contact, Liu Zheng already roughly understood the strength of the other party, although his own soldiers and horses lost more than 1,000 people when they first came into contact, but Liu Zheng also quickly discovered that those soldiers of Linyi also lost a lot.
Among them, the soldiers of the Ansherin Yi Kingdom, which was at the forefront, suffered at least more than 2,000 casualties.
More than Liu Zheng's side.
Liu Zheng saw that the men and horses on his side had suffered enough losses, and the people on the other side were not very happy, so he immediately ordered a retreat.
"Withdraw! Xu Huang, first retreat to the place where we did the ambush before, and lure this guy over! ”
Liu Zheng immediately ordered Xu Huang and ordered Xu Huang to start retreating.
The gong and the horn sounded at this time, the order to retreat was heard, and the soldiers who had just entered the battlefield heard the sound of retreat, like a natural sound for help, and immediately began to flee without looking back.
These recruits, who have just entered the battlefield, let them charge, it is still more difficult, but let them escape, one by one, they are full of strength and start to run back.
Those soldiers of Lin Yiguo, who had just rushed out of Bijing County, felt that these people in front of them were different from the enemy troops they had dealt with before, and they were still a little curious in their hearts, but when they suddenly saw these people, they were all retreating frantically, and they were also a little puzzled.
The most puzzled thing is that Fan Yi, the crown prince who is standing on the city tower and supervising the battle.
Fan Yi's eyes scanned back and forth on the battlefield, and he had been paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield, but he scanned back and forth a few times, and he didn't find why these enemies suddenly retreated.
Judging from the traces of engagement on the battlefield, these people are indeed very different from the county soldiers he met before, and their combat effectiveness is obviously much more powerful, but it is not completely impossible to defeat, at least relying on the advantage of numbers, Fan Yi can still defeat these people.
And the only possibility for them to retreat is that the other party is afraid and does not dare to attack, so they will choose to withdraw their troops at this time.
At this time, Fan Yi didn't think that this was a ploy or a trap.
He only saw the other party retreating, so he did not hesitate to order to urge his generals.
"Chase! Give me chase! We must destroy these people, as long as we eliminate these people, Jiuzhen County will be in our bag! ”
Fan Yi ordered to shout at the generals in the city and those soldiers who were still fighting, and the soldiers holding the battle flag immediately waved the flag and signaled to charge and pursue.
"Kill!"
"Give me chase!"
The sound of continuous pursuit and killing came out from Bijing County, and after intensifying the pursuit, the soldiers who fled on Liu Zheng's side also began to run to the forest outside the city with all their strength.
The pursuit and escape of the two sides stalemate for a long time, Liu Zheng and these people escaped from outside Bijing County and came to a dense forest.
Here are the traps that Liu Zheng led the people to leave in advance, some wooden stakes hanging from the trees, rows of sharp wooden stakes hidden in the grass, as long as those people and horses of Lin Yiguo rushed into the forest, they were not familiar with the road conditions and where there were traps.
There is a high probability that you will be hit by these traps.
Of course, the main reason why Liu Zheng made these traps was not to use these traps to inflict a fatal blow on Lin Yiguo's soldiers and horses.
And just to distract the other party's military heart, let them have a frightened look, frightened, and collapse without a fight, so that it can be easier for Liu Zheng's men and horses to rush back.
"General, those enemy troops have entered our ambush circle."
Wen Ping followed Xu Huang's side, and as soon as he saw that the other party's person had entered the range of attack, he immediately reported to Xu Huang.
Xu Huang's eyes froze, and he glanced at the soldiers and horses of the Linyi Kingdom in the distance, and then gave an order.
"Okay, then start our counterattack, Wen Ping, I order you to lead three thousand soldiers and horses, attack from the left flank, intercept the retreat of these enemy troops, I will lead the rest of the people, face it head-on, this forest is full of trees, and it will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to these enemy troops!"
In the blink of an eye, Xu Huang had already arranged the counterattack, and the remaining nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, under the command of Xu Huang, immediately sent 3,000 men and horses out and handed them over to the commander of Wenpin, and then quickly bypassed from the side, preparing to make a detour to intercept these soldiers and horses of the Linyi Kingdom.
And Liu Zheng and Xu Huang began to command these main forces withdrawn from Bijing County and began to counterattack.
The traps hidden nearby began to activate one by one, and the soldiers of Lin Yiguo who were chasing over were hit by these traps that suddenly appeared, and they were completely defenseless, and they began to be injured one by one and fell to the ground, causing a miserable scream.
The appearance of the trap made the soldiers of Linyi Kingdom, who originally had a murderous intention, suddenly startled, and everyone became endangered, but just some traps naturally could not make these soldiers of Linyi Kingdom afraid and retreat.
After these traps ended, a fierce shout suddenly rushed out of the surroundings, and the men and horses under Liu Zheng's command came back at this time.
The trees in the forest were too dense, covering a lot of Liu Zhengjun's figure, and at this time, a large number of shouts and killings sounded, and these soldiers of the Linyi Kingdom only thought that they had been ambushed, and they immediately began to feel scared.
"There are enemies! There are enemies! ”
"Oh no, there are people in the back!"
When Wen Ping's soldiers and horses rushed out of the rear position, those soldiers of Lin Yi Kingdom changed their expressions greatly, and those people in the outermost part couldn't hold back anymore and shouted out in panic.
