Chapter 189: Annihilation
Yang Jun and his party were anxiously waiting, taking such a big risk of the trap of their subordinates, they couldn't work in vain, although the place of battle was chosen by them, but they had to wait for the fish to hook their big net before they could start to shrink, and they were now waiting for this fish to eat this bait.
"Lord Wang, General Yang has sent a signal!" Zhou Han said respectfully to Yang Jun, who was pretending to be asleep. A lonely smoke rises from a distance, this is the signal agreed by Yang Yin and Yang Fan, once the fish is hooked, then it is already a signal of fire smoke, in this sunny spring, even a wisp of green smoke can be seen clearly in the distance, not to mention this thick smoke.
"Then let's start closing the net!" After Yang Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, radiating a cold glow that made people retreat.
"Shixin led 10,000 cavalry troops to advance at full speed, clear the way for the army, and make a detour behind the enemy army to block the retreat! Xu Qing and Jin Yu each led 10,000 horses to besiege from the east and west! Yang Xuan decisively gave an order, time waits for no one, one minute late, Yang Fan's 10,000 army will be more dangerous.
"Yes!" The three of them were ordered to lead the army away.
"Oh no, they're asking for help, rush me!" An enemy general apparently also discovered the effect of the thick black smoke, and hurriedly urged his men and horses to fight hard, but there was no way to break through the defense of the cavalry just now, and he was also severely taught a lesson by the enemy's archers.
"Resist me, don't be stingy with arrows!" Because of the maximum estimation of the degree of difficulty, so the bows and arrows they bring are not ordinary, after all, in the mountain trail want to stop the enemy's condescending charge, then the bow and arrow is a more effective defensive weapon, and it must be held for about an hour, this is undoubtedly a huge war of attrition!
The battle was in full swing in the mountain road, and there was no idle outside, Luo Shixin's team was all cavalry, so they killed all the way, met enemy scouts and small groups of troops all harvested, and then split into two and swept directly along an arc in two directions, and finally converged on the back of the enemy.
"Hurry up! Give me a little quicker! The speed of the 20,000 foot soldiers led by Yang Jian is not slow, and there are only more than 50,000 people who plan to participate in the encirclement and suppression this time, and the rest are in the base camp to take care of the grain, grass and equipment.
"I'm sure this team is by no means a grain army, which grain transport army has such sophisticated equipment and still has to drill into the mountain road? With the troops of more than 10,000 people escorting grain and grass, they can only walk the main road, and it is difficult for 100,000 horses to eat, let alone their arrows as if they don't need money! After a long time of attacking Yang Fan's defenses, some enemy generals began to guess.
"Could it be a trap? If their smoke is really a signal for help, then the reinforcements must be visible, so wouldn't their reinforcements be not far away? One of the generals said in horror as if he had suddenly thought of something.
"Not good! Fast! Contact the scouts if anything you found out was wrong?!" After being reminded by the general, everyone woke up like a dream.
"Strengthen the attack, put all the troops into it, and give me a fierce attack!" The red-eyed enemy generals desperately wanted to take down the grain transport force in front of them, and no longer cared whether this mountain road could accommodate the melee of tens of thousands of people!
"Even if you can't get it, you're going to destroy it! Send rockets, burn them all, see if I don't burn them! ”
"Everyone obeyed the order, cut a placket of clothing, wet it with water, cover it, and set the grain cart on fire and push forward to block the enemy! The Black Dragon Army retreats! Seeing that the enemy began to fire rockets, Yang Fan made a decisive choice, rather than letting others burn it, it was better to burn it himself.
The raging flames only blocked the enemy troops rushing down from the hills on both sides, and the enemy troops rushing in front and rear were not blocked by fire, and the two armies were directly close to each other, but it was no problem to temporarily block the enemy's attack, but the fire of the grain truck could not last long, and I am afraid that it would be the most difficult moment, but Yang Fan also had a killer weapon in their hands that they did not use.
"Why hasn't the prince come yet!" This is what every Qingzhou soldier thinks in their hearts, and it is also the belief that supports them to continue fighting, because they know that with the prince behind them, they need not be afraid.
Fighting within the "wall of fire" consumed an astonishing amount of physical strength, and although the enemy's wave of attacks was blocked, it was obvious that the enemy would not give up, and it was necessary to fight to the end with the superiority of troops. The fire grew smaller and smaller until it was extinguished, and the unhindered enemy army pounced on them like a pack of wolves that had been hungry for a long time.
"Our mission should be accomplished, there is no need to stay here, we will withdraw, but give them a gift before leaving! The Black Dragon Army gets on their horses and opens the way ahead! "Seeing that this place can no longer be defended, and the time is not much different, the outer army should have completed the encirclement, it is just a matter of the size of the encirclement, and the "grain carts" with grain and grass have also been burned, so there is no need to defend them.
"Grenade ready, throw!" Yang Fan gave an order, and thousands of grenades were thrown out, although there was no earth-shattering loud noise, but the continuous explosion sound brought a huge shock to the enemy, and the enemy continued to fall, and the enemy was shocked for a while.
"This is the time, rush out!" Yang Fan seized the opportunity and took the troops out of the encirclement in one fell swoop.
"Chase! Give me chase! Don't let them run! The enemy generals who reacted looked at their subordinates who were constantly wailing in front of them, and there was a burst of anger in their hearts, eager to break Yang Fan and the others into pieces.
"Old Yang, don't panic, I'm here!" Suddenly, a voice like fairy music came from behind, Yang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Jin Yu's voice, and he was overjoyed, knowing that reinforcements had arrived.
"I'm here too!" As soon as Jin Yu's words fell, Xu Qing's voice came again.
"Damn it! Enemy reinforcements have arrived! What are these scouts eating?! Evacuate! The enemy generals panicked and hurried to flee.
"Brothers! Reinforcements are coming! Kill me back! ”
With the timely arrival of Yang Yin's rescue army, it was too late to save Yang Fan's men, and all the enemy troops were annihilated, and no one escaped the net, but the loss was not small, the main force of the Black Dragon Army's resistance, the loss was more than three hundred horses, and the rest of the infantry soldiers lost hundreds, adding up to more than a thousand, counting how much grain and grass were loaded in each grain cart, this loss also made Yang Mian's flesh hurt. But fortunately, the results achieved were brilliant, eliminating 50,000 horses on the Luoyang side, even if the Luoyang side was strong, it was impossible to exceed 200,000 troops, they couldn't afford to raise it at all, and Luoyang's forces were complicated, Wang Shichong was just the most powerful, but he couldn't control the entire Luoyang, so these 50,000 horses were unaffordable for Wang Shichong.
