Chapter 1145: Trapped Horses on the Plains

At the head of Songcheng County, Qiu Jingzhong, who was wearing armor, looked coldly to the northwest, and his second son Qiu Wen led an army of 10,000 to lure the enemy.

Qiu Jingzhong knows Zhang Ting'an too well, this person has always been self-righteous, and Hu Benwei didn't take Xiao Wanding in his eyes at all, and took the opportunity of this army to send troops, Xiao Wanding threw him to Wang Zhongmou.

This Zhang Tingan will not take Wang Zhongmou seriously, he thinks he is a cavalryman, thinking that he is fast and invincible in the plains, he will definitely snatch the first merit and lead the army to cut off the back road of 10,000 troops.

Since he dares to come, let him taste his strength.

Thinking of this, Qiu Jingzhong turned around and went down the city, leading an army of 30,000 out of the city and running west.......

Zhang Ting'an led 10,000 cavalry to run to more than ten miles away, here is a large wheat field, just after the end of the summer harvest, to maintain soil moisture, did not continue to sow beans, at this time, a hundred steps away suddenly appeared countless ambushes, they together raised crossbows to shoot at the cavalry group.

Thousands of crossbow arrows were overwhelming, and the cavalry could not dodge, and they fell from their horses one after another, killing and wounding hundreds of people in an instant.

Zhang Tingan was furious, waved his sword and shouted: "Catch up and kill them all!" ”

"Whew-"

The horn sounded, and 10,000 cavalry suddenly launched, with the momentum of thunder, and swept away at the 3,000 enemy troops a hundred paces away, and the 3,000 ambush soldiers turned back and fled, and they threw thistles backwards while fleeing, and after running hundreds of paces, they suddenly disappeared.

At this time, the cavalry fell one after another, and the horses stepped on the thistle thorns, neighing and falling, but the horses could not stop in the gallop, otherwise they would be knocked down by the cavalry behind, and the cavalry continued to run forward, and they ran to a very deep and wide trench, only to find the enemy soldiers running in the trench.

"Kill them!"

Zhang Ting'an was extremely annoyed when he saw that his men had suffered thousands of casualties, and he shouted loudly to order the soldiers to act.

But for the cavalry, it was not easy to kill the enemy in the ditch, their horses could not get down, they could only shoot with bows and arrows, but the opponents carried shields, and bows and arrows did not work.

Nine thousand cavalrymen stood on the ditch and watched as the enemy fled away.

"General, that's not right!"

A soldier suddenly noticed the anomaly, and countless large carts appeared on the road behind them, blocking their way.

Zhang Tingan sneered and ordered more than a dozen soldiers: "Give it a try and rush to the opposite side." ”

More than a dozen horsemen rushed down, but the slope was too steep, and the horses neighed and fell, and several horses broke their leg bones and struggled to stand up.

Only three cavalrymen rushed down intact, but they could not rush to the opposite bank, and one of the cavalry generals said: "General, we can find an opening, dig a ramp, and dig a ramp on the opposite side, and we should be able to rush up." ”

"It's too early to say this, turn south!"

The cavalry turned around and ran to the south, but only ran two miles before stopping, and the south was also the same water canal, Zhang Ting'an suddenly understood, they were led into this open space surrounded by water channels on three sides.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Behind the drums thundered, thousands of enemy soldiers stood behind the carts, as if mocking them.

Zhang Ting'an was annoyed, and shouted: "The first battalion dismounts and digs a ramp!" ”

The ramps on both sides of the ditch are too steep, they can't go down, and they can't go up, the only way is to flatten the steep ramp, of course, leveling the ramp is a big project, they don't have to cut so long, a few zhang wide enough.

A thousand soldiers jumped off their horses and drew their swords to dig into the earth, and when they were halfway through the excavation, three thousand enemy soldiers appeared on the opposite bank, raising their crossbows and shooting.

The dense crossbow arrows shot through the leather armor of the enemy, there was a wail on the shore, most of the 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, the cavalry opened their bows and fired at each other, but the soldiers on the opposite bank lay on the ground and pulled the strings to change the arrows, and shot again, the horses neighed, the cavalry screamed, and a group of people turned on their horses.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Tingan shouted: "Retreat!" Fall back! ”

The cavalry brigade turned to the north and retreated, out of range of the opponent's crossbow arrows, and at this time his army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the combat strength was only 7,500 men.

Zhang Ting'an finally understood at this time that the other party had already guessed that he was going north, and specially laid a trap, they could not cross the ditch at all, so they could only turn back and forcibly break through the blockage of the cart.

He secretly regretted in his heart that he should not have invited Gong to go north, but he fell into the enemy's calculations.

He swung his sword and shouted, "Break out of the encirclement, kill out!" ”

"Whew-"

The trumpets sounded, and the seven thousand five hundred cavalry shouted, and suddenly they attacked, and they slaughtered towards the exit like a rolling tide........

Ten thousand crossbowmen appeared behind the cart that appeared at the mouth, and ten thousand crossbows were raised, coldly aimed at the sky at a thirty-degree angle.

.........

Wang Zhongmou had led an army of 50,000 to the place where 10,000 enemy troops were stationed, but the wilderness was empty, and not a single soldier could be seen, and the 10,000 troops seemed to disappear out of thin air.

At this time, a scout cavalry rushed to report: "Marshal Qiqi, there was a pontoon bridge on the river just now, and 10,000 enemy troops crossed the river from the pontoon bridge to the other side!" ”

"Where's the pontoon?" Wang Zhongmou asked, looking at the empty river.

"The pontoon bridge has been dismantled by the other party!"

Wang Zhongmou secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, he realized that he had been tricked, one was Zhang Ting'an's cavalry, and the other was the logistics fleet behind him.

He immediately ordered the deputy general Zhou Long: "You can lead 20,000 troops back to the fleet to protect the fleet from the other party's attack, and I will lead the army to meet Zhang Ting'an!" ”

"General Zhang is a cavalryman. If you can't do it, you can retreat, the general doesn't have to pick him up! ”

"Since the other party has been prepared, then there is a way to deal with the cavalry, if he is safe and sound, he should have come to join us a long time ago, they have not appeared for a long time, something must have happened, don't persuade again, hurry up and lead the army to support the fleet."

"Obey the order!"

The 50,000 troops immediately divided into two routes, one route was led by the deputy general Zhou Long to lead 20,000 troops to support the fleet, and the other route led by the commander Wang Zhongmou led 30,000 troops north to support Zhang Ting'an's cavalry.

.........

"Kill it!" Zhang Tingan waved his sword and shouted.

When the cavalry gradually approached the cart formation, 10,000 crossbowmen and 10,000 arrows fired at once, and the overwhelming crossbow arrows intertwined into a dark cloud in the sky, shooting at the galloping cavalry in black pressure.

Countless cavalrymen were shot by crossbow arrows during the gallop, turned over and fell off their horses, or their horses were shot, and even men and horses rolled out. After a round of crossbow shots, only 5,000 men remained in the cavalry group.

Zhang Tingan's eyes were red, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "Kill out!" Kill it! ”

"Kill—"

Ten thousand horses galloped like thunder, and finally rushed to thirty paces in front of the cart, and ten thousand soldiers raised their crossbows and fired a second arrow, this time it was a flat shot, and the crossbow arrows were like a storm, and the cavalry rushing in front was almost completely annihilated, and they fell to the ground, and then affected the cavalry behind.

At this time, all the cavalry were red-eyed, and rushed towards the cart desperately, but the ground in front of the cart array was covered with thistles, and the last four thousand cavalry were like running wildly in hell, and countless cavalry suddenly fell down in the run, and rushed directly to the body of the soldiers in front of them, and the endless traps made many soldiers frightened.

But they had no choice, if they didn't rush out, they would all die here, and at the same time, the 10,000 infantry didn't have time to shoot three more arrows, so they threw their crossbows directly on the ground, picked up their spears, and quickly formed a spear corps.

The 10,000 soldiers of this ambush cavalry were the most elite army in the Flying Bear Guard, which was personally trained by Qiu Jingzhong and finally handed over to the third son, Qiu Pai, to command.

Qiu Pai himself is also a fierce general of the three armies, although he is young, he has become the first fierce general in the 80,000 army of Feixiongwei, especially the archery is clever, and the arrows are not missing.

Qiu Pai's eyes were fixed on Zhang Ting'an, the main general of the enemy army, and among all the cavalry, he was the only one who wore a silver helmet with a red helmet on it, which was particularly eye-catching in the army of ten thousand horses.

"Boom!"

The cavalry crashed away from the carts, and more than a dozen carts were knocked out a few zhang away, and a hole nearly twenty zhang wide was opened, and the cavalry group poured out like a tide, but in front of them was a large array of spears, which could not be avoided at all.

The cavalry and the spear army collided, the spear army was not the Modao army, they were torn open in an instant, and the 10,000 spear army was like two dragons out of the water, surrounding the cavalry, and 3,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry fought together.

"Kill them all!"

Zhang Ting'an didn't know that there were only 3,000 cavalry left, he killed Red Eye, hatred filled his chest, and his heart was full of thoughts to kill this enemy army.

At this moment, a cold arrow 'whoosh!' The ground shot from the side, and Zhang Tingan couldn't dodge, 'Poof! With a bang, the arrow shot into his neck, and it actually shot through his neck, Zhang Ting'an screamed, and fell from his horse.

Qiu Pai put away his bow, sneered, and shouted, "Kill them all!" ”

The two armies were caught in a bloody battle........

Wang Zhongmou led an army of 30,000 to run all the way to the north, he almost concluded that Zhang Ting'an was surrounded by the main force of the other party, Zhang Ting'an's arrogance is known to everyone, how could Qiu Jingzhong not know, he sent 10,000 troops as bait, not to lure himself, but to lure Zhang Ting'an, Zhang Ting'an really fell for it.

It's a pity that he didn't see through this early, and let Zhang Tingan lead the cavalry to go alone, Wang Zhongmou was full of regret in his heart, if Zhang Ting'an's 10,000 cavalry were wiped out, how could he explain to the Son of Heaven?

Wang Zhongmou complained about himself as he led his army to gallop, and when they ran through a forest, a low horn suddenly sounded in the woods: 'Woo-'

I saw an army rush out of the woods and kill into the ranks, just cutting Wang Zhongmou's army of 30,000 into two pieces.

The war drums sounded loudly, and the Flying Bear Guard army ambushed on both sides of the woods came out, and the general at the head was the commander Qiu Jingzhong.......
