Chapter 223: Embattled

Ten miles away, in the blink of an eye, more than 10,000 horsemen and horsemen of the vanguard of the thief army came to the outside of Jinyuan City.

Jinyuan City has become a ruin, an empty city, Li Baier will not dare to camp inside, if there is an accident it is easy to be blocked in the urn to catch turtles, so he ordered to find an open space outside the city to camp.

The night has sunk, the cold wind is still there, and the lights on Taiyuan City are still faintly visible when looking north for more than ten miles.

"Tomorrow, we will come to the city, break the city in a few days, go further, and make the first contribution!"

Li You was full of pride, and Bai Minghe echoed and laughed. The soldiers behind him were making fires and cooking, digging and camping, busy, but they were also in order, and everything looked so beautiful.

But there's a word called sudden change!

When General Li Bai was in high spirits, he suddenly saw a spark gradually approaching in the distance due north.

"Someone, go investigate!" Li You frowned, the army was encamped, and there were naturally open piles and dark sentries on the periphery, what was going on with these fires? Officers and soldiers probing horses approaching?

Just as they were wondering, all of a sudden, those sparks became prairie fires, and they moved towards them quickly.

"It's not good" Li Bai and the others said in unison, and immediately thought of the same thing, attacking the camp!

One of the things that the leading generals are most afraid of is that the camp is attacked in the middle of the night.

Because the night itself can magnify people's fears, and the night disguises that you don't know how many people there are on the other side, what the combat power is, you just want to run for your life......

So in history, especially when you look at the Three Kingdoms, you will find that many large battalions with strong troops are often wiped out by small groups of men!

Isn't it that the officers and soldiers who are as timid as rats have already been frightened, hiding in Taiyuan City like turtles and not daring to fight, how can they still have the courage to sneak out of the city at this time, and they are obviously prepared for battle!

It's not scientific!

Li Bai and the others scolded their mothers in their hearts, but at the moment, there is no time to discuss whether science is scientific or not, and it is imperative to stabilize their position to meet the enemy.

Roughly calculated from the torches in the distance, the officers and men should be about 10,000, on a par with their own, and fortunately, their own side was resting and camping at this time, although they were in a panic and a little embarrassed, but it was by no means like sleeping in the middle of the night dreaming of being attacked in a state of confusion and panic and fled in all directions.

It can be seen that the timing of the officers and men is wrong.

Li Bai and the others turned on their horses and ordered their subordinates to prepare for battle, while ordering their own soldiers to stabilize their positions and prepare to meet the enemy.

The thieves here had just formed a hasty formation, and the officers and soldiers in the north had reached two miles away, and Li Bai and the others couldn't help but curse in their hearts that those scouts had hastily responded to the matter and let the officers and soldiers get so close before they realized that if they attacked in the middle of the night, they would ...... It's all a cold sweat when you think about it.

"It's rare to imagine that officers and soldiers are so active!" Bai Minghe frowned deeply, and a bad feeling haunted him, but he couldn't speak.

"We are careless, the Lord also underestimates the enemy, the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, we are all deceived by the bear-like appearance of the previous officers and soldiers, and now it seems that Zhou Yuji and the eunuch are playing very slippery" Li You also sighed!

"But I don't know why the officers and soldiers are so uncomposed, if we wait for us to set up camp in the middle of the night...... I'm afraid ......" Bai Minghe couldn't help but shudder!

Li You shook his head slightly, also with a puzzled expression: "Maybe they have been ambushed here for a long time but were discovered by our spies, so they have to do it in advance" Saying that, he suddenly snorted angrily: "A group of waste, once this matter is over, it should be severely punished!" ”

"Let's talk about the current matter first, fight and retreat, or go up?" Bai Minghe said.

Li You frowned deeply: "I am afraid of defeat, and the initiative is not in our hands at this time, let's resist first, after all, the other party is equal to us, and it is a night battle, it is not certain who will kill the deer" said and suddenly roared: "Order, full impact!" ”

Because the officers and soldiers on the opposite side had already rushed over, from the original long dragon formation, suddenly opened up to the two wings, and rushed towards the thief army like flying eagles!

In an instant, the two armies met in close arms, and the cold winter land under the cover of night was filled with the sound of earth-shattering killing, and the cold wind that whistled by disappeared without a trace.

The west of Jinyuan City is a reckless mountain, the east of the city is a flat river, there is no mountain and no forest, the place where the thief army camps is on the official road in the east of the city, at this time it has been as tragic as hell.

The soldiers on both sides fought in the dark, fighting equally, and it is said that the thieves lined up to meet each other in a hurry, and they were passive and psychologically weak.

But don't forget, it's a night battle!

It is well known that the thief army is good at night fighting, because of the habit caused by the origin, the thief is not seen, and he sneaks in the night to sneak attack in battle, and when he is surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, he also escapes at night, and the accumulation of experience is extremely sufficient.

With the advantages to make up for the weaknesses, coupled with the equal number of troops, it was difficult for the two sides to fight for a while.

But some people don't want to see such a situation!

Over there is Chang Yu who came with these five hundred emperors' personal guards!

Fighting head-on with the thief army were the vanguard of officers and soldiers, Yang Zhenwei and He Cheng, who led 10,000 troops to lure the enemy head-on.

When the two sides were fighting, the two also brought their own soldiers into the battle group, because there were still people behind him!

"It's time for us to go! Remember, don't fucking embarrass the guards! Chang Yu turned around and shouted!

"I am willing to go to the soup with the factory company!" Li Zhong, Duan Wuhu, Zhou Tianpeng and others hurriedly responded: "Please give an order!" ”

"Just do it!" Chang Yu shouted, and then he entered the battle group, and the family led by Li Tiezhu to lead the original Jiang Jiu by his side followed closely to protect his safety!

The two sides fought for half a cup of tea, but there was no decline, one was good at night fighting and the other was demoralized, and the killing was inseparable, and most of the torches on the field were extinguished between the fierce battles, which showed the fierce tragedy!

I didn't expect the stubble of this army of officers and soldiers to be so hard, Li Bai and the others looked heavy, and then they were shocked for a moment.

Because all of a sudden, the fire was lit up two miles away on the east side, and the killing sound was loud, and the two of them were shocked, and the officers and soldiers even had ambushes!

At this time, the soldiers of the thief army who were fighting also noticed this, and their hearts were shocked, and the army's heart was in turmoil!

"Retreat!" Li Bai and the others immediately panicked, and hurriedly ordered to retreat southward!

However, when the thieves retreated south, the fire in the south was ......

Damn, Li Bai and the others were shocked, their eyes almost spewed fire, and they actually entered the encirclement! And I didn't even notice it!

"Retreat to the west" Li You hurriedly shouted, and his soldiers immediately commanded the soldiers to retreat to the west!

To the west is Jinyuan City, but of course they won't be stupid enough to retreat to the city, then they will be turtles if they are blocked inside!

The so-called west refers to the reckless mountain in the west of Jinyuan City, once the officers and soldiers enter the mountain naturally stop and do not pursue, the rout is a foregone conclusion, but at least they can escape.

However, what made Li Bai and the others desperate was that they suddenly killed a group of men and horses from Jinyuan City, which was already in ruins, and blocked the way for the thieves to flee west!

"Didn't you say a ruin, empty?" The white crane roared in despair!

This should be the so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, the thief army from top to bottom feels that the officers and soldiers will only nest in Taiyuan City and defend the city, and they can't shrink out, and those who are hanging by a thread and working hard also have this kind of mentality, so when they enter Jinyuan City, which is already in ruins, they are blind and go through the motions.

But I don't want to, it's easy to hide a thousand people in the city of ruins in the dark.

The sound of killing all around shook the sky, I don't know the geometry of people and horses, the thief army was terrified and cold, and fled in all directions but there was no way to escape.

Li Bai and the others knew that the defeat was decided, and resisting would only be sent to death in vain.

At this time, the two finally understood why the officers and soldiers didn't wait for them to set up camp late at night before attacking, because there was no need at all!

Right now, if they want to stay alive, there's only one way out

Surrender!

This battle was as Chang Yu had expected, and the outcome was a foregone conclusion from the moment he decided to fight.

First use the probe horse to resist the thief army spies, and then send troops to set up an ambush from the east around its rear, and at the same time ambush thousands of soldiers in Jinyuan City.

In order not to be discovered by him, the ambush soldiers on the east side and the rear were far away, and then lured the enemy to attract attention with the vanguard of He Chengxin and Yang Zhenwei in front of him, and then slowly approached, and when the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, he poured a basin of cold water on it, making the thief army feel cold.

Twice the troops, ambush and siege and in the dark of night, if you don't win, Chang Yu is afraid that he will take the lead in hitting the wall and committing suicide!

The thieves had surrendered, the weapons were scattered all over the place, and the bandits were driven by the officers and soldiers towards Taiyuan City.

The two batches of martial artists were tied into zongzi and knelt on the ground, and Niu Yong was scolding.

Chang Yu came sweating profusely with a knife on his horse, and waved his knife: "Who are these two?" ”

"Back to the factory, the thief will be the vanguard, Li You, Bai Minghe and the two thieves!" Niu Yongdao.

Listening to Niu Yong's name, Li Bai and the others couldn't help but look up at Chang Yu!

"What are you worried about, do you believe it!" Chang Yu shouted angrily, and the frightened Li Bai and the others trembled and hurriedly bowed their heads: "My lord, spare my life!" ”

"Escort away" Chang Yu snorted coldly, and a few family members came out behind him and directly tied the two thieves to the back of the horse, and went straight away, and the two ran with the war horse in embarrassment.

"Master Changgong, what should we do with these captives?" Niu Yong asked forward, he knew that with Chang Yu's temperament, it was always a killing word to capture the thieves!

But this time there were nearly 10,000 prisoners, so it was impossible to kill them all!

Chang Yu also had a big head, looked up at the direction of due south, turned around and said, "Clean up and return to Taiyuan immediately!" ”

This battle was well prepared and unexpected, and the gains were very rich, in addition to nearly 10,000 prisoners, a large number of weapons, war horses, and a small amount of grain and grass.
