Although Li Xun was cleaning the battlefield in the back, he was also afraid that Chen Zhishen would lose his way or re-enter the mountain after him, so he still asked Lu Qing to follow with more than ten old soldiers.

Chen Zhishen frowned, as a general, obviously he had also realized this problem, Longzhong was not far from Tanxi, if Chen Zhishen continued to move forward, it was very likely to encounter enemy reinforcements.

"Gather your formation, prepare to retreat, and at the same time lure these enemies to catch up and destroy them at the foot of the mountain." Although Chen Zhishen fought bravely, he also knew that he should be responsible for the safety of the entire army.

Today's victory is already very complete, there is no need to pay more sacrifices because of negligence at this time, after all, the Bashu army did not know about the situation on the front line of Tanxi before, and at this time, hundreds of people recklessly bumped into it, almost sending meat to people's mouths.

Just when several generals and the battle lord began to shrink the formation with their subordinates, pillars of smoke rose on the horizon in the distance, and at the same time, in the mountains behind the side, the drums suddenly sounded, and a group of men and horses slashed out diagonally, cutting directly to the side and rear of Chen Zhishen's department!

"Ambush!" Chen Zhishen sneered.

There is an ambush that he has expected before, the process of attacking the cottage is so smooth, to be honest, Chen Zhishen does not believe that Cao Xiaoda will not be so cheap to him, what a strategic place in Longzhong, it is impossible to support such a simple cottage and the surrounding mountain people wandering in the mountains, so easy to break through the enemy's defense line, there is only one possibility, that is, this is not the enemy's main force at all, or it is not the main method of the enemy's defense at all.

The northeast and northwest of Xiangyang are Dunsai and Longzhong respectively, there is no doubt that Cao Xiaoda in Dunsai is a rigid way, from Dunsai to Xinye There are not many mountains and rivers, and the small hillside is not a good choice for the army to fight at all, at most it is to do some ambushes and roundabouts, and obviously Li Xinchen is better at this than Cao Xiaoda, so Cao Xiaoda has no intention of calculating Li Xinchen at all, so it will only steal chickens and rice.

Therefore, he chose to defend in Dunse, as long as he could block Li Xinchen for a while, which is very similar to Cao Xiaoda's tactics of mainly defending on the north bank of the water. On the side of Longzhong, it is obviously the opposite situation, Cao Xiaoda did not manage the defense line very seriously, and some suspicious tactics can obviously only play a role in harassment.

His true intentions must not be so simple.

It was obviously a better choice to arrange an ambush at the back of the mountain, close to Tanxi.

There are a lot of smoke pillars in the distance, indicating that all the cavalry came, although Cao Xiaoda collected all the ships on Tanxi in advance, but still reserved a part of them that could be used to transport cavalry, or this group of cavalry waded from the upper reaches of Tanxi. After all, Ren Zhong's camp is in the area of the source of Danxi, and it is difficult to bring the entire Tanxi under control, and it is still very easy to find a vacancy, especially since these Northern Zhou soldiers are already familiar with the terrain in this area.

"Formation, retreat to the hillside!" Chen Zhishen decisively ordered, if you entangle with the enemy at this time, you must be the one who falls into the ambush, and while the enemy has not rushed up, it is the most important thing to retreat decisively to gain a little space and time.

As for the more than 100 Northern Zhou soldiers in front of him, in the eyes of Chen Zhishen just now, they were a piece of fragrant fat, and now they are abandoned.

The ambush soldiers who rushed from the side and rear came very quickly because of the close distance, and their purpose was also very clear, to stop Chen Zhishen's troops who were retreating, and block them on the plain under the mountain, and when the time came, Chen Zhishen needed to face the advance of the cavalry.

For the foot soldiers formed in formation on the plains, the cavalry assault was nothing less than a nightmare.

At this critical juncture, a banner suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, and then the arrows whistled into the ambush, Li Xun's flag danced in the wind, and the Ba soldiers roared and crossed his left and right sides, rushing towards the enemy.

At the same time, the hundreds of Chen Zhishen's soldiers who stayed on the mountain also rushed down at this time, they were different from the chaotic methods of the Ba people, all the soldiers were tightly united around the leader of the team, like a sharp sword directly piercing the fragile flank of this Northern Zhou ambush army.

Obviously, the attack of the Ba people is more important to block and entangle the enemy, this assault is deadly, the flanks were torn apart at once, and the Northern Zhou ambush soldiers were cut in half, and Chen Zhishen swung his big axe straight into the enemy that was divided, the axe swung, and one after another the heads flew out, and even the blood did not have time to splash out.

"Don't fight!" Chen Zhishen just rushed forward, and Lu Qing took the Ba soldiers to cover his side, this team of Bashu soldiers was able to follow Chen Zhishen to chase out, they had been following Chen Zhishen for a long time, and the earliest ones were even those recruits that Chen Zhishen personally trained outside Jiankang Mansion at the beginning, and now they have already been polished into a sharp sword.

They turned their heads and interspersed in the enemy's formation, and this Northern Zhou ambush army, which was not very numerous, was of course difficult to parry.

Perhaps they didn't understand why the enemy turned his head so decisively and resolutely, and why so many enemies rushed down the mountain at once.

For a while, I didn't even know who set the trap for whom.

The sound of horses' hooves was like a torrential rain, exploding not far away, and a group of Northern Zhou cavalry scattered in all directions, outflanking the left and right flanks of Chen Zhishen's department. If everything is planned normally, then at this time, the ambush soldiers who rushed out of the forest just cut off the back road of Chen Zhishen's troops, and these cavalry can naturally enjoy a gluttonous feast.

However, the situation in front of them now is a little embarrassing, that ambush army is being surrounded by Chen Zhishen and Li Xun together, but it is precisely for this reason that the flanks and backs of Chen Zhishen's department have been completely exposed, Chen Zhishen only left more than 100 people to resist the defeated army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty that small team acted as bait, and all his energy was on shrinking the defensive line.

"Kill!" The thin armor master who led the team pointed forward with the saber in his hand.

The identity of the master of fine armor shows that he is a general who is qualified to wear chain mail, and although this kind of general does not have many soldiers and horses under his command, they are all the elite of the elite.

Xiangyang is located in Jinghu, although under the control of the Northern Zhou, but the cavalry in the city is not much, and this time Wei Chi went north, almost took most of the cavalry away, only 500 people remained, led by a fine armor, can only be regarded as a façade, in case of emergency.

After all, when it comes to defending the city, these elite cavalry can only go to the city like those people, and any stray arrow may take their lives.
