Chapter 214: The Decisive Victory is in the Middle Night

Shortly after nightfall, the battle outside Bauhinia Pass began unexpectedly. The first to be attacked were the two Yan garrison battalions scattered outside the city.

The 60,000 troops gathered by the Yan State to the Bauhinia Pass, after being dispatched, there were 20,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers in the city. The two or so battalions that were originally outside the city were each stationed with 10,000 horses.

From a military point of view, this would have been a very reasonable arrangement. The three-legged stand together, forming a horn trend, which can not only fight independently, but also echo each other from a distance and support each other. It can also be seen from this that Ning Hu can also be regarded as a general with very rich combat experience.

The two armies fought, lined up with Chen soldiers, and each showed its ability. There is no set routine. The generals of the Yan State responded to this war with their own familiar combat methods, which was understandable. But he didn't fully understand who his opponent was, let alone what kind of terrifying fighting level the opponent had.

The left and right battalions stationed outside the city, during the day, had seen the scene of the Yan cavalry going out of the city to defeat the Zhao army. The appearance of those Zhao cavalry running away made them laugh out loud. The two generals who led the 20,000 horses couldn't help but be full of ambition in their hearts. They couldn't wait for tomorrow to come, so they could obey General Ning Hu's unified order and begin to encircle the cavalry of Zhao State.

However, after tonight, they no longer had a chance. Sometimes, the outcome of a war is so unpredictable. Overnight, the situation changed abruptly and the world was turned upside down.

By the time the generals of the left and right battalions returned from the city to receive the battle orders, it was already late. They are conscientious in their duties, and they dare not slack off in the face of the war. He also gathered his lieutenants and made careful arrangements.

Both they and the Yan army in the city have great confidence in the victory of tomorrow's battle. Now there are only more than 10,000 cavalry of the Zhao State outside the city, no matter how powerful they are, under the full encirclement and strangulation of the 60,000 army, waiting for their fate can only be the fate of total destruction.

Zhao Guoren is so stupid! Or maybe it's too arrogant. Such a lonely army is a taboo in war. They dared to camp near the city, and they were destroying themselves.

According to General Ning Hu's unified order, the three armies were scheduled to start fighting in formation tomorrow. This time, I want to use the dignified array to defeat Zhao Jun face to face and brightly, and let them know that they know how powerful the warriors of Yan Country are!

When people's blood is rising, they are easily excited. Thinking of tomorrow's battle, it is necessary to rely on these subordinate generals to take the lead in the killing, and the generous general of the left battalion gave an order and took out all the rewards of King Yan that he brought back. Needless to say, money and wealth are all equally divided. And the rarest thing is that there is also a jar of good wine in it. Originally, this was brought by the envoy of King Yan to prepare for the celebration after the victory of the war. At this time, he didn't care about the ban on drinking alcohol in the army, and with a wave of his hand, each person drank a few sips, and made a strong voice in advance!

These lieutenant colonels were overjoyed, this kind of wine that is said to come from the Zhao State is a rare thing. I had the opportunity to drink it today, and it was exactly what they wanted. The general of the left battalion took the lead, and took the lead in raising his neck and pouring a large mouthful, but before he could swallow it, he suddenly heard the sound of golden drums in unison, and the sound of killing shook the sky and rose from the ground!

The general of the left battalion squirted out a mouthful of wine, and almost jumped up in shock. After many years of fighting on the battlefield, it would be foolish if you did not understand that this was an enemy raid at night.

"General! The big thing is not good, the Zhao army attacked at night! ”

The sergeant on patrol outside hurriedly came to report. These generals didn't care about drinking anymore, so they hurriedly put on their armor and gave an order, and went to separate up to prepare for battle.

Sure enough, in the dark night, Zuo Daying shouted outside the camp, and countless feather arrows were shot all over the sky. The Yan soldiers panicked and had to take shelter for the time being. The left and right battalions were all foot soldiers, and when the sergeants, under the captain's loud shouts, hurriedly organized effective resistance, raised their shields and rushed to the gate of the camp, they suddenly found that the enemy in the darkness had not really attacked. They just kept firing arrows in the distance, and they didn't know how many people were lurking.

The general of the left battalion, who rushed to observe the situation, was shocked and angry. On the one hand, he urgently sent people to the city and the right camp to report the news, and on the other hand, he personally led the men and horses, defended tightly, and was fully armed, ready to fight at any time.

Soon after, as the people who risked their lives to go out to spy on the situation reported back, they finally learned the exact news. It turned out that it was not the cavalry of Zhao State who came to disturb the camp at night, but a foot army of several thousand people. I don't know what crazy they were doing, and they suddenly came here to make such a big noise.

Since the other side did not really attack, the general of the left battalion and his subordinates temporarily relaxed. In the dark night, they couldn't see the reality of the other party, and they didn't want to go out to fight. However, he didn't dare to relax, because no one was sure whether Zhao Jun would feint or really attack next?

And at this time, news also came from the right battalion, which was not far away. The man who hurried to report the news was sweating profusely. He obeyed the orders of the general of the right battalion to convey it to the general of the left battalion.

"Zhao Jun is completely bluffing, and the general does not need to panic. We have already found out that a team that will send weapons, equipment, and logistical supplies to the cavalry of the Zhao State will soon pass through the southwest direction of Bauhinia Pass. The Zhao army was very cunning, and in order to prevent them from failing, they deliberately made a posture of coming to raid Zuo Daying...... Our generals are ready, and will soon go out with all their troops and make a detour to raid their convoys. If the general wishes to, he can respond. ”

When the general of the left battalion heard this, he suddenly realized. He and the general of the right battalion had a close relationship and fought side by side for many years. For such an initiative. Not to be outdone, of course. So I immediately patted my chest and agreed. In every sense of the word, this is an obligation.

"Please go back and tell your general, don't worry! I'll go out of camp as soon as he's out to fight. Tonight, we should work together to cut off the back road of Zhao Guoren first. Hahaha! ”

Everyone understands the truth of "hitting a snake and hitting seven inches". For the Zhao army, who fought deep in the Yan Kingdom, cutting off their logistics supply was undoubtedly cutting off their lifeline. At the very least, for the upcoming war between the two armies, the Yan army has already seized the opportunity. Who doesn't rush to take such a big credit? No wonder the general of the right battalion was in such a hurry to fight.

At the same moment, in the right battalion, which was less than a few miles away, the whole army and horses, which were organized as fast as possible, followed their general and quietly stepped out of the camp. The scouts who went out in the dark to listen to the news were going back and forth one after another, reporting the latest location of the Zhao army escort team.

The general of the right battalion was in high spirits. Because of the urgency of time, for fear of missing the opportunity, he did not wait for the order from General Ning Hu in the city, and started to act. In his consciousness, since the whole army was going to start a big battle against the Zhao army tomorrow, and he had already received the opportunity during the day, there was no need to wait for the order to come before acting. If you start the game and make such a contribution in advance, then you will really show your ability.

The situation has been well understood, and the team escorted by Zhao Guo is about 2,000 people, and all kinds of carriages loaded with supplies and weapons and equipment are not in sight. Wouldn't it be easy to lead these more than 10,000 elite soldiers to go and catch them off guard?!

The night was deep, and the stars and moon were dull. The Right Battalion Army, who was very familiar with this terrain, saw the light of the torches after half an hour. There is no doubt that the team that came like a long dragon must be Zhao Jun.

The general of the right battalion, who was surprised in his heart, drew his sword and rushed over with his subordinates without the slightest hesitation. As expected, Zhao Jun, who was not at all defenseless, suddenly saw countless soldiers and horses killed in the dark, and in a panic, he immediately messed up. They didn't even have the courage to resist, so they fled in a hurry.

It's too easy to win, isn't it? The general of the right battalion, who was in a daze, looked at the figures that quickly disappeared into the darkness, and a sneer of contempt appeared on his face. The knives in their hands haven't even seen blood yet, and Zhao Jun is simply vulnerable!

The Yan army, who had been ordered to stop pursuing, gathered around, and everyone couldn't help but cheer when they looked at the hundreds of carriages loaded in front of them. They lit torches to see what they had done. However, after the tarpaulins on several carriages were removed, the faces of many people suddenly changed under the light of the fire.

"General...... Come and see! We were fooled. ”

Hearing the exclamation, the face of the general of the right battalion changed greatly. He immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurried over to take a look, but saw that there was no food baggage on the carriage at all, let alone any weapons and equipment. Piles of dead grass are full.

"Zhao Jun is cheating! The whole army retreats ......! ”

Before he could finish a sentence, the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves swept up on the ground. Countless bolts pierced the air, striking from both sides with a deadly aura. In an instant, the Yan army, illuminated by the torches, became a live target. In the miserable cry, they fell down one by one.

In the midst of the confusion, some torches fell on the carriage, and the fire immediately burst into flames. The Tiger Army, which had been waiting for a long time, galloped in the direction of the fire, and began to charge while firing crossbow arrows. The massacre of 10,000 cavalry against 10,000 foot soldiers began!

Almost at the same time, the general, who had just left the camp of the left army, noticed the light of fire and the sound of killing here, and immediately realized that something was wrong. At a critical juncture, seek self-protection first. He didn't care to come to the rescue and answer, and ordered the army to return to the camp at once.

However, no matter how fast he reacted, it was too late. Ambushes arose, blocking the way back. They came out, but they never came back.

The army led by Li Mu himself finally arrived. He immediately launched a siege against this Yan army with superior forces.

On the other hand, the Bauhinia Pass gate was wide open, and the whole army was dispatched. The vigorous battle tore through the vast night!
