Chapter 241, Dangerous Trick 8

There is only one lake here, and it is so far away that water is not needed, so fire can be used. 【Latest chapter reading. Sun Chuanting came to the back camp, observed the terrain, and then after some thought, he used this trick.

He used all the means he could to kill and wound the enemy, first with arrows, then into a pit, then with carts, and finally with a fire.

Sun Chuanting's tricks were very vicious, these ambushes that did not seem unusual, easily killed more than 1,000 officers and soldiers, and many peasant soldiers were injured.

Huanglong sent people to sweep away the archers on both sides, those people were holding shields, just approaching the official army, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, there were not only archers here, but more rows of cavalry ready to attack.

Sun Chuanting counted all the possibilities, he guessed that Huang Long might feel that the archers on both sides were just blocking him, and the real main force must be in the big camp, so he put all the cavalry on both sides and ambushed them, leaving only a few hundred officers and soldiers in the big camp to push carts and set fires.

With the fire, the peasant army could not advance, but could only retreat, falling right into the range of his cavalry. Therefore, he took advantage of the fact that Huanglong was leading the peasant army to retreat, and led the cavalry to pounce up.

Huang Long's men and horses had not yet established their footing, and they were still in shock, when they suddenly saw countless officers and cavalry rushing from both sides, and they were immediately in chaos.

They didn't know how many people in the official army were ambushed, and no matter how many of their own people were useless, the army was in a state of confusion, each of them escaped, trampled on each other, and squeezed down countless of their own people.

Huang Long couldn't stop the people around him, he knew that he had been defeated, at this time there was a fire in front of him, he couldn't advance, and both sides were full of official cavalry, so he had to retreat.

Sun Chuanting's overseer army rushed violently, and the 5,000 cavalry were divided into left and right, like a big pair of scissors, cut into the peasant army formation, and immediately cut off the peasant army completely.

The formation of the peasant army was completely disorganized, and it was unable to organize effective resistance at all, so they only cared about fleeing for their lives and huddled together.

Huang Long knew that the general trend was gone, so he didn't care about commanding the men and horses, and led a team of cavalry, desperately rushed out of the encirclement and retreated. The remaining thousands of peasant troops were intercepted by the officers and troops in a small area, clashes left and right, slashed and killed, and fell in pieces.

The cavalry of the peasant army was better, and they rushed one after another, and many of them really rushed out. Sun Chuanting ordered not to chase these people, and all the attacking forces were placed on the infantry of the peasant army.

So these soldiers were unlucky, surrounded by 5,000 officers and cavalry, unable to run, unable to fight, and were killed more than 2,000 people.

There were about 4,000 people left, and these people had long been frightened, and one by one, they could no longer resist, and they knelt on the ground, held their heads and did not move, and surrendered.

In this battle, the peasant army was killed more than 3,000 people, more than 4,000 captured, and only more than 2,000 cavalry escaped.

Sun Chuanting won a big victory. His 5,000 cavalry did not suffer any major damage, and by this time the fire in front of the camp had been extinguished, and the officers and soldiers in the battalion came out to clean up the battlefield. Sun Chuanting ordered these peasant troops to be concentrated, and the seriously injured did not need to be treated, but they were directly killed with a knife, and then ordered the surrendered peasant army to dig a pit and bury them.

Then he left two thousand cavalry to guard the men, and the rest of the cavalry rushed forward with him.

Sun Chuanting ordered all his subordinates to cut off the heads of the slain peasant soldiers, pick them on the tips of their spears, and then let these cavalrymen shout and pounce on the battlefield in front.

Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Yingxiang are in a tight melee, the official army has gained the upper hand, Gao Yingxiang has been looking forward to Huanglong being able to capture the official army camp, and then attack Lu Xiangsheng from behind, he will win, but waiting and waiting, he heard the sound of an earth-shattering explosion in the distance, and then the fireworks broke out, and the shouting of killing could be faintly heard.

Gao Yingxiang was overjoyed, thinking that his plan had succeeded, so he cheered up and ordered his men to fight to the death, and there would be a turning point in a short time.

But after fighting for a while, I didn't see Huanglong rushing over, and after waiting for a while, the fireworks gradually went out, and then a group of men and horses rushed out of the official barracks, but not the peasant army, but the official army.

What's even more terrifying is that each of these officers and soldiers has a spear, and the tip of the gun is carrying a human head, Sun Chuanting took the lead, rushed to the front, and shouted: "The thief of the sneak attack has been awarded, Gao Yingxiang, see where you go!" ”

At this moment, Gao Yingxiang was taken aback, seeing that the officials and troops had already prepared, and Huanglong's 10,000 horses were estimated to have not been able to please him. He saw it, and the peasant army under his command also saw it, and his face immediately changed color, and the army's heart became a little turbulent. Gao Yingxiang knew that if he retreated at this time, it would be a big defeat immediately, so he urgently ordered the trumpeters behind him to blow the horn to suppress the sound of the officers and soldiers rushing over.

Sun Chuanting's 3,000 men and horses had already rushed into Gao Yingxiang's formation from the flanks.

Each of these 3,000 men and horses had a spear, densely layered up, like a rattlesnake full of stingers, it was really impossible to resist, the peasant army was already very difficult to deal with Lu Xiangsheng, but at this time it was rushed by Sun Chuanting's cavalry, and finally began to collapse. Many of them were frightened by the oncoming cavalry formation, and ran backwards in desperation, trampling down many of the people behind them.

Before these people could stand up, Sun Chuanting's cavalry rushed up and trampled them under the hooves of their horses again.

Thousands of horses galloped, the sound of hooves was like thunder, rolling to the ground, the momentum was amazing, countless peasant troops were trampled into meat paste, and those who were not trampled to death were also stabbed and shot by the guns of the officers and soldiers, and countless casualties were killed.

Gao Yingxiang knew that he was bound to fail miserably this time, and at this time he could no longer control the situation, so he had to order a retreat, escorted by his generals and personal soldiers, and retreated to the camp.

Lu Xiangsheng is chasing after the army, and his combat style has always been four words, wind forest volcano.

Swift as the wind, Xu as a forest, aggression as fire, immobile as a mountain.

At this time, the enemy army was defeated and retreated, and they must not be allowed to retreat calmly into the camp, rest and breathe, and he must completely destroy Gao Yingxiang in one go.

So Lu Xiangsheng commanded tens of thousands of horses and horses, and they poured up like a flood.

Gao Yingxiang couldn't turn back to the battle, so he had to retreat into the camp with his men and horses, he wanted to block the official army with the ditch in front of the camp, as long as he blocked it temporarily, and then he could stand firm and resist the attack of the official army.

But he had too many men and horses, tens of thousands of people retreated to the camp, the officers and soldiers chased closely, several camp gates were wide open, after tens of thousands of horses retreated, the suspension bridge was put down on the camp gate, and they were taken into the camp, but they could not all withdraw for a while, and the peasant army was crowded on the edge of the ditch, and the people on the suspension bridge were crowded, and they all wanted to withdraw into the camp and save their lives.

This situation is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

At this time, the official army had already pressed up, and Zu Band carried the Guanning iron cavalry, together with Sun Chuanting's cavalry, like a flood that broke through the opening, and swept to the ground. The peasant army behind could not be stopped, so they had to squeeze forward desperately. The peasant army standing on the edge of the ditch could not stand and was squeezed into the ditch one after another.

The ditch, which was seven or eight feet wide and more than a foot deep, was almost filled in in a short time.

The peasant army stepped on the heads of their own men and squeezed into the camp. At this time, the cavalry of the official army followed and killed.

The battalion lost its defensive role, and thousands of cavalry of the officers and troops had already rushed into the battalion, chopping up and burning the tents when they saw people, and the camp of the peasant army was in chaos for a while.

When Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong saw this, they knew that the general trend had gone, and hurriedly ordered a retreat to the north, and then the two of them were protected by the personal guards, and led the remnants of the defeated army to flee north.

While escaping, Gao Yingxiang didn't forget to ask the people around him: "Where is Li Yan and where is Liu Zhe?" ”

Liu Zhe was specially left by him to guard Li Yan, and not long after, Liu Zhe came up from the side, with arrow wounds on his body, and there were thousands of soldiers under his command, Gao Yingxiang asked: "Has Li Yan withdrawn?" Liu Zhe said: "I must have withdrawn." The people of the Yellow Dragon are protecting him. ”

Gao Yingxiang was stunned: "Huanglong's people? Didn't Huang Long go to attack the official army? ”

Liu Zhe said: "Yes, he failed, after the defeat came back, he caught up with the official army and rushed into the camp, and his people came to inform me, saying that it was your order, let us retreat quickly, Huanglong knew that my people had few cavalry, and specially sent three hundred cavalry to protect Li Gongzi to go first." ”

Gao Yingxiang had a faint sense of foreboding, he never asked Huang Long to inform Liu Zhe, because the official army came too fiercely, and he didn't care about it at all. At this time, Huang Long didn't know where he went, so he had to order to look in the army to see if there was Li Yan.

As a result, among the nearly 7,000 men and horses he led at this time, Li Yan was not found. I didn't even find the red lady Xiaoqing, and the one hundred and fifty cavalry left by Bai Qi. These people seemed to disappear all at once.

At this time, Gao Yingxiang couldn't care about looking for it in many ways, and he himself was being chased by the official army, so Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong, with more than 10,000 peasant troops, abandoned the baggage camp and fled north.

At this time, Li Yan, the Red Lady and others were also walking in the northwest direction. They have changed into official uniforms, and the ones who protect them are Li Kang, Yizhimei, and the three hundred cavalry of the Qin army.

All this was arranged by Li Yan in advance.

Yesterday and yesterday, he told Yizhimei that Huanglong was sent out to attack the official army, and he must have been tricked to go, he asked Li Dang to lead people to dress up as a peasant army, and watch from a distance, as long as Huanglong's men and horses retreated, they immediately rushed to the rear camp of the peasant army, and when the peasant army retreated on all fronts, he only said that Huanglong's men and horses had retreated. When they entered the camp, they immediately came to pick them up.

Li Yan judged that as soon as Huanglong's men and horses were defeated, the officers and troops would immediately attack Gao Yingxiang with all their might, and if Gao Yingxiang's sneak attack plan failed, the army's morale would be in chaos, and if they were rushed by the officials and troops, they would definitely be defeated and return to the camp. At this time, the officers and troops must have pounced on them, and the attention of the peasant army was all on the officers and troops in front, and Li Dang could take them out with three hundred cavalry immediately.

It's not a one-size-fits-all solution, but it's the only way to go.

Li Dare listened to the words brought back by Yizhimei, and acted immediately. The next day, he asked 300 cavalry of the Qin army to disguise themselves as peasant troops, hiding in the distance of the official army camp and watching, and sure enough, after a short time, he saw Huang Long leading a large group of men and horses, going to a sneak attack, and then being attacked, surrounded, and killed to the point that the army could not be defeated.
