Chapter 262: Desperate Birth
In the abandoned camp tent of the Tang army, Jing Che was puzzled: "Commander, why did you deliberately let the Tang army break through?" ”
Qin Quan suddenly picked up a piece of paper from the ground, opened it and saw that it was the Tang Army soldiers who threw it back to the ground, and said lightly: "The Tang Army is very strong, if we continue to fight just now, even if our army can destroy more enemies, it will also lose a lot of soldiers." ”
"But if you don't fight now, you will still fight in the future, and there will be losses at that time, maybe even greater than today." Jing Che disagreed.
Chu Xiong had a faint smile on his face, this battle was his strategy, which made him faintly a little complacent, and he interjected: "Captain Jing, you should first take a look at the soldiers' appearances." ”
Jing Che turned his head to look, and saw that many soldiers had excited expressions on their faces, full of energy and high morale.
Chu Xiong said again: "Do you guess what the faces of the Tang Army soldiers are on now?" ”
Jing Che suddenly realized and said softly: "I understand, you want to demoralize them. ”
Qin Quan said coldly: "Yes, it is good to slow down at this time, I just want to make them realize that the camp has been robbed by our army, let them know that they have lost to us, and when they want to understand this, they will be afraid in the next battle." ”
Jing Che nodded, the quality of the soldiers of the Hui'an Mansion Army was not as good as that of the Tang Army, but after so many victories, the fighting spirit of this army continued to rise, and its combat power surpassed that of the Tang Army, which was exactly what Commander Qin was best at.
He believed that among the five armies of Hui'an Prefecture, their combat strength must be the strongest.
At this time, he heard Qin Quan's order in his ears: "Pass the order, transfer back all the squads, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Tang army." ”
However, in the afternoon of the next day, Qin Quan learned that a hundred-man team under his command had gone around the territory of Chizhou and had not returned, so he did not wait for this force any longer, gathered a large army, and prepared to fight the main force of the Tang army again.
Within Chizhou.
Li Wencheng encountered the biggest crisis of his military career.
Due to carelessness, when the team he led was drinking water by the riverbank, they encountered a thousand-strong cavalry team, and the Tang soldiers in the distance were staring at them coldly, like wolves looking at sheep.
The vice captain beside Li Wencheng smiled bitterly and said, "Captain, what should we do?" ”
If only I knew! Li Wencheng scolded wildly in his heart, if he escaped along the river bank now, he would never be able to outrun the cavalry, and he would definitely die.
The only chance was the river, which was not wide enough to swim through, but the problem was that there was a wooden bridge not far away, and the cavalry could quickly get around, and the other side of the river was flat and there was no way out.
If they choose to dive and escape, the river is too narrow and shallow, and the Tang army only needs to chase and shoot arrows on the shore, and they will still be dead.
Do you have to die here? Li Wencheng slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, the vice-captain beside him said strangely: "Captain, why don't they come?" ”
Li Wencheng opened his eyes and looked, and sure enough, he found that the other party was motionless and had no intention of coming.
With a lot of thoughts, he quickly figured out that during this period of time, their various harassment behaviors had already made the other party suspicious.
He had led the team to lay a trap to lure the other party into the bait, and then fled, and the other party must have suspected that there was some kind of trap for their hundred people to appear here, so he was very cautious.
At this moment, if they turn around and run away, the other party knows that they have no trap and will definitely catch up and kill them, and the only way to survive is to take advantage of the other party's mentality.
Just thinking about it, Li Wencheng noticed that the other party seemed to be about to lose patience, and the formation had a tendency to move forward, so he was heartbroken and said loudly: "Follow me!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he strode towards the other party.
Tang Jun on the opposite side saw that this team of 100 people actually took the initiative to come over, and his originally somewhat impatient mind turned into a shock, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
Li Wencheng and his troops came closer, and stopped two miles away from the other party.
The two sides confronted each other like this, and cold sweat continued to break out on Li Wencheng's forehead, and it was not a way to go on like this, and when the other party was impatient, he was likely to rush over desperately.
At the critical moment, his head was running extremely fast, and suddenly he had a plan, and ordered his soldiers: "Everyone obey the order, follow me to the river bank slowly, no one is allowed to run, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”
As he spoke, he turned and walked in the direction of the river, and at last his unit was well-trained, and not a single one of them ran against orders.
Seeing that they were slowly walking towards the river, and did not look like they were running away, although they were puzzled, they still slowly drove their horses forward and did not let them go too far.
Li Wencheng walked slowly, and at the same time instructed the adjutant: "You will take two brothers and sneak into the river quietly, don't let the other party find out, and when you hear my shouting, the three of you will find a way to make a movement underwater, and when we enter the water, you will immediately flee to the other side, do you understand?" ”
"Understood."
It didn't take long for Li Wencheng's hundred-man squad to walk to the bank of the river, and the adjutant led two people to use others to block the view and quietly dived into the water, at which time the cavalry of the Tang army was getting closer and closer.
Li Wencheng issued another order: "Brothers, follow me!" ”
Saying that, he turned around again and approached the Tang army, the Tang army who was leaning over was shocked and suspicious, and quickly stopped, Li Wencheng stopped when he was about a mile away from them, and scolded: "You turtles with shrunken heads, do you dare to come over and fight with grandpa for three hundred rounds?" ”
When many people in the Tang army heard his provocation, their faces showed anger, but the commander was very calm, he looked at Li Wencheng calmly, and did not give the order to attack.
At this moment, the adjutant of the Tang Army exclaimed: "Look, there is movement in the water!" ”
The commander looked around, and sure enough, he saw a lot of waves in the calm river in the distance, and he said in a deep voice: "There must be people in the water, no wonder they keep going back and forth, just to lure us closer to the riverbank!" ”
At this moment, Li Wencheng shouted: "There are too many Tang soldiers, everyone run for your life!" ”
Running towards the river bank like a rabbit, the adjutant of the Tang Army was stunned, and for a long time, he looked at the fleeing Hui'an Army and asked, "General, they ran away, do you want to chase them?" ”
The commander was also frowning and thinking bitterly, and when he heard this, he shouted, "Brothers, follow me!" ”
Saying that, they chased after them first, and when they chased to the bank of the river, Li Wencheng and the others had already swam across the river and ran to the opposite bank, and the commander said coldly: "Shoot arrows into the water!" ”
At the sound of an order, countless arrows were missed into the river, and after a long time, the adjutant hurriedly said: "General, there is no blood, there is no one in the water!" ”
The commander had also seen this, and sneered: "Pretend to be a ghost, leave two hundred people here to prevent them from swimming back, and the others will follow me to pursue." ”
As he spoke, he prepared to cross the river through a wooden bridge not far away.
However, at this moment, a horse galloped in the distance, but it was a herald, and the herald drove his horse closer and shouted: "General Zhang has an order, the whole army will immediately go to Xiliang Valley to assemble!" ”
After delivering the order, the herald Pegasus departed.
The adjutant looked at the figures of Li Wencheng and the others on the other side of the river, and hesitated: "General, what should I do?" ”
The commander gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go and behead their dogs first, and then go to Xiliang Valley!" ”
As he spoke, he led eight hundred cavalry in pursuit.
On the other side, Li Wencheng led his subordinates to run quickly, but how did people run over the horse, and after a while, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.
At this moment, he felt that the ground was shaking, and after a while, the vibration sound became stronger and stronger, Li Wencheng knew what kind of sound it was, cavalry, there was a large force of cavalry in front of him!
He immediately stopped, and then he saw a black cloud in front of him pressing over, it was the cavalry of the Hui'an Army!
However, he was not happy at the moment, and the cavalry was coming at full speed, and it was impossible to stop them at this time.
Is it not that he will die under the hooves of his own people? Looking at the roaring cavalry, Li Wencheng was stunned.
