When Zhou Can got the news that Wei Dongsheng had been attacked by Liu Yuan again, it was like five thunderbolts, and a wave of extreme shame made him so angry that he almost lost control of himself.

Liu Yuan was in that wood.

Liu Yuan anticipated what he was thinking and predicted all his next actions.

This is simply the biggest insult to him and the biggest denial to a military general who leads the army.

Three thousand cavalry, under the leadership of Zhou Can, rushed towards the lead road.

He went in the other direction into the old woods that had made him detour for a long time, but this time, without the slightest hesitation, he led the cavalry brigade straight forward along the narrow road in the old woods.

He didn't expect that when he attacked Wei Dongsheng, Liu Yuan only brought less than 2,000 people, and he didn't expect that when Liu Yuan was plotting against Wei Dongsheng, he also divided half of his mind to plot against him.

Zhou Can, who was so angry that he almost lost his mind, crashed headlong into this net.

With a violent explosion sounding at both ends of the team, Zhou Can's lively and beating heart suddenly fell from the surging blood to the ice cellar.

This is not the sound of a grenade exploding.

Because the loud sound of two explosions in a row was far beyond his imagination.

He even saw several tall horses being thrown into the air, and then flying in all directions in the air. The trees around the bowl were torn apart like paper, turning into pieces of sawdust and raining down on the sky.

The dozens of horsemen who were running at the front of the team disappeared in an instant at the sound of the explosion.

This is the few explosive bags that Liu Yuan's department is equipped with, and Liu Yuan used them all for this ambush.

The two explosions at both ends of the team almost wiped out the head and tail of Zhou Can's department, and what was even more terrifying was that the only one in the old forest that could be used by the cavalry to run was here, the trees that were blown away, the corpses were blocked, and the three thousand cavalry were trapped in the forest.

"Prepare for battle!" Zhou Can roared loudly.

The sound of the explosion made him feel distracted, but it also brought him to his senses in the shortest possible time.

"One, two, three sentry, dismount, to the left, search for the enemy."

"Ninety-eleven sentry, dismount, to the right, search for the enemy!"

"The rest of the sentinels, follow me on, rush out!"

Accompanied by Zhou Can's repeated orders. A cavalryman turned over and dismounted, with hundreds of people on each side, and searched on the left and right sides.

More cavalry, bypassing the obstacles in front of them, struggled to find a way for their horses to pass, and tried to rush out of the woods.

The forest was not a place for the cavalry to fight, only when they got out of the forest and had an open space, they had room to play.

In the middle of the forest, the sound of shouting and fighting weapons was heard, and the screams continued to sound.

Zhou Can didn't care whether the soldiers sent to both sides could win or not, he just wanted to take the rest of the people and rush out of the forest first.

He is very aware of the current situation of his troops, riding on horses, they are warriors and can do anything, but when they get off their horses and fight in such a complex environment, they will definitely not be the opponents of Tang Bing.

The old forest was full of thorns, and these clumping plants that usually looked less than half a person tall or even only knee-high were not threatening, but now, it made it difficult for Zhou Can and the others.

And what is even more terrifying is that in these thorn bushes, under those thick soft fallen leaves, traps are everywhere.

Sometimes it's just a small pothole, covered with fallen leaves, but once the horse steps on it, a sink, and the heavy weight will break the horse's leg on the spot.

Sometimes, I don't know what mechanism is triggered, and from the top of the dense canopy, dozens of pounds of stones fall from the sky.

Sometimes, it was hard to see a small piece of flat land, but under the fallen leaves above the flat ground, rope nets rushed in and covered the cavalry in it, and before the cavalry could come to their senses, the sound of howling crossbow arrows had put an end to everyone's thoughts.

The number of people on both sides was actually about the same in the old forest at this time, and Liu Yuan's department had a total of 3,000 people, and in two battles in a row, although they were both complete victories, they actually lost more than 500 people.

But in this old forest, one side has premeditated and set up a battlefield completely controlled by itself, while the other side is caught off guard and breaks into the trap carefully designed by the other party.

Not to mention the level of combat effectiveness, the influence of psychology alone is enough to make the combat effectiveness of both sides disappear from the other.

What's more, there is a huge difference between the two sides in terms of equipment.

Liu Yuan's department has very few cavalry, a small number of cavalry, basically scouts, and the others are foot soldiers. And with Li Ze's unsparing pee in equipping his troops, these foot soldiers are almost armed to the teeth.

And Zhou Can's department is cavalry, and their biggest equipment is their war horses. In order to ensure the speed and endurance of the horses, the cavalry usually does not focus on armor, and is generally just a leather armor, at most in the critical department, inlaid with some iron pieces and other to strengthen protection.

When the cavalrymen's biggest equipment, the war horses, lost their function and had to dismount to fight the enemy in close combat in a complex combat environment, the gap in equipment immediately caused the cavalry to suffer huge losses.

You go down with a knife, obviously hit the other party, but you can only splash a big spark, others slash on your body, the leather armor is immediately torn apart, and the blood guines out like a fountain, such a scene has seen too much, how can it not have a great impact on the soldiers who fight?

Zhou Can didn't rush out of this forest after all.

When he finally saw the edge of the forest, he also saw that in front of him, a Tang Army general and hundreds of soldiers were standing in front of him.

With a roar, he sprinted his horse forward, and by this time, the forest was already very sparse, and with his superb horse skills, he flashed through the trees and pounced on the enemy that he hated to the bone.

Tang Bing didn't move.

Then, on the road of Zhou Can's advance, one after another tripwires taken from local materials bounced up from the ground, avoiding one, not avoiding the second, avoiding the second, and the third suddenly appeared.

The horses in front neighed and fell, and those behind had no time to dodge, and slammed heavily into the fallen horses in front of them, and almost all the cavalry rolled into a ball in such a narrow terrain.

It was only at this time that Liu Yuan and his subordinates waved the weapons in their hands and pounced.

Zhou Can once thought that he would die on the battlefield, but in his imagination, he would definitely fight to the death with the enemy in a fierce cavalry conflict and die on the battlefield with great difficulty.

He never thought that he would die like this, he didn't even have a chance to show his martial arts, because one of his legs was crushed by his own war horse.

He lay down on the ground in despair, watching a Tang soldier come over with a bloody horizontal knife, and then stabbed him with a knife in both hands.

He only had time to roar with all his might: "Liu Yuan! ”

He didn't want to die in the hands of a small soldier, even if he died, he wanted to die in the hands of Liu Yuan, after all, the other party was also a general of the Tang Dynasty.

But the soldier had apparently discovered that this fellow was a great official, and that killing him would add a great deal of credit to his book, so the knife stabbed straight down without the slightest hesitation.

The roar stopped abruptly.

This battle lasted for nearly two hours.

Zhou Can's 3,000 cavalry was wiped out in this old forest.

"General Liu, we have a big victory!" Cai Kaiming limped excitedly and walked in front of Liu Yuan.

"Hurt?"

"Tell me a shot, a guy who was wounded but not dead was lying in the pile of dead people and poked me!" Cai Kaiming was a little annoyed: "But it's okay, I didn't hurt the bones, the flesh was wounded, and it was bandaged." ”

"Our loss!" Liu Yuan nodded and continued.

"General Liu, we still have 2,000 people to fight!"

Liu Yuan took a deep breath, that is to say, in this battle, aside from those lightly injured soldiers who could still fight, the dead and the seriously injured added another five hundred.

"How many horses have been captured?"

"At least two thousand." Cai Kaiming suppressed his excitement, but he still couldn't help but be overjoyed, no matter what kind of environment they are in now, this is an out-and-out victory, and even, they may reverse this battle because of this big victory.

"Let the soldiers who are good at equestrianism get on their horses and go out with me to fight!" Liu Yuan stood up.

Cai Kaiming was stunned: "General Liu, where else are you going to fight?" ”

"Go and do Wei Dongsheng again!" Liu Yuan wiped the blood stains from the sword, "Come on again, it is estimated that Wei Dongsheng's army will almost lose its combat effectiveness." ”

"Still going to hit him?"

"Beat the water dog, Lao Tzu likes it the most!" Liu Yuan snorted.

"The fighters are tired!"

"It is advisable to chase Yu Kou with the remaining bravery!" Liu Yuan said: "When Wei Dongsheng is done, let's rest for a few days and think about what to do next!" ”

"What about these captives? Quite a few! Cai Kaiming said in a low voice.

"Do you still need to ask me? You're the Ombudsman! Liu Yuan looked at him with a smile.

Cai Kaiming's face was red and white for a while, and he gritted his teeth for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said: "I think in this battle, we didn't capture prisoners, the enemy is too fierce, so it is a total annihilation." ”

"I'll fight Wei Dongsheng, and I'll leave the aftermath to you." Liu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked out.

A moment later, more than 1,000 Tang soldiers rode on the war horses they had just captured, waving the banner of Zhou Can's department, and ran all the way towards Wei Dongsheng's department.

Wei Dongsheng is indeed an unlucky one.

Hearing the dense sound of horses' hooves and seeing Zhou Can's flag fluttering in the distance, they thought that reinforcements had arrived, but by the time they saw clearly that under those banners was the Tang Army, it was already too late.

Wei Dongsheng was beaten by Liu Yuan again.

This time, Wei Dongsheng's troops, who had lost more than half of them, finally completely lost the will to fight.
