Chapter 333: Successive Battles
More than an hour later, when Qiuzi, Bemur and Ah Huanu finally found out the number of Qin people who came to attack him after a period of panic, Qiuzi, who was angry and ashamed, immediately made a series of reactions.
He first sent people to Muyin and Xinzheng respectively, and at the same time asked for help, he also reported the war in Muyang to Lin Xu, the commander who was in Muyin City.
Subsequently, he hurriedly sent Bei Mu Er and Ah Huanu to collect the defeated army, and he personally went to the west of Muyang City to organize those soldiers who had just learned but had not yet reacted to line up to meet the Qin army that was about to be killed.
Therefore, when Niu Yong's army successfully attacked the south gate of Muyang City, they immediately saw the neatly arranged battle formation of the Rong army in the distance.
Although the battle in the past two hours has caused many casualties among the Rong army, only a few hundred people have been killed and wounded under his command. But Niu Yong also realized that this fierce battle had just begun until this moment.
Glancing behind him in the direction of Huang Yin, Niu Yong said in his heart that the soldiers who were sent back two hours ago to ventilate and report the news should also arrive in Huang Yin at this moment under the whip of the fast horse.
Right now, he can only fight to the death with the Rong army, waiting for news from Wei Mu and the reinforcements from Huangyin City to come to meet him.
Thinking of this, Niu Yong ordered the whole army not to fight to the end with the Rong army that was ready, but to retreat three miles, and the whole army stopped on a raised plateau, where the back was against Mushui, facing Muyang City, and the view was excellent.
In fact, this highland is just a small dirt slope, but it is such a natural barrier that also makes Niu Yong's heart calm a lot.
Looking at the countless soldiers digging ditches and digging pits along the edge of the heights, and then looking at the water surging behind him, Niu Yong said in his heart: "In this way, I am not afraid that the enemy army from Muyin behind me will come to surround me." ”
While making a fire and cooking, Niu Yong was always sending people to vigilantly watch the movements of the remaining 20,000 Rong troops on the side of Muyang City.
This attack on Muyang is not to really attack the city, but to attract reinforcements from Muyin City. Therefore, Niu Yongcai did not choose to pursue the victory, but chose to wait, waiting for the arrival of enemy reinforcements in the direction of Muyin in the plan.
After following the battle of Zhu Lihua for a few years, even Niu Yong knows how to make trade-offs, and will not act rashly and recklessly.
On the side of Muyang City, when Bemur and Ahuanu, who had finally gathered the defeated army, came to Qiuzi's side, they also saw the same look of surprise on the face of the main general as themselves.
As the three people who led the troops to fight the old battle, they always felt that the Qin people who had just suddenly attacked Muyang City like heavenly soldiers should rush to their hastily arranged but demoralized battle formation, but why did they retreat back to camp and rest?
The three people who were puzzled felt the abnormality of the Qin people at the same time, so in order to avoid being tricked, the three of them reached a consensus after a short discussion, and they were in a stalemate with the Qin people for the time being.
Frankly speaking, the three of Qiuzi were really a little ashamed, because after seeing clearly that the incoming Qin people seemed to have only about 5,000 troops, they felt as if they had been slapped in the face.
After oppressing Huangyin for nearly a year, now when another 200,000 troops are gathered at any time to give Lihua a fatal blow, they didn't expect that the Qin people of Huangyin would dare to take the initiative to attack Muyang.
Moreover, 5,000 soldiers and horses suddenly attacked without warning from their own horses, and in just two hours or so, their 30,000 troops were powerless to fight back, and the whole army almost collapsed.
This makes the three of Qiuzi how not to be frightened, how can they not be ashamed.
However, after all, the Qin army was too small in number, perhaps because they saw that their side had formed a military formation, so they took the initiative to retreat under the trap.
In this way, the scattered soldiers and horses of their own side were able to gather again, and the lost morale of the soldiers gradually recovered after noticing the number of enemy troops.
So when the countless cavalry from the direction of Muyin City appeared in the south at dusk, Qiuzi, whose nervousness disappeared in an instant, smiled "haha", and then he looked at Bemuer and Ahuanu and said:
"I heard that Na Lihua used soldiers like a god, and even Da Shan Yu was full of praise for him. But today, when I look at it, it's just a yellow-haired boy who only knows how to talk on paper.
His hesitation cost him the lives of the five thousand soldiers. Although I don't know what kind of madness they sent to attack Muyang, since they came, I am afraid that they will never be able to go back. ”
"Yes, they still had hope of winning, but as soon as they saw that our battle formation was lined up, they immediately gave up the attack.
And they didn't know how to retreat, so they confronted us here, obviously deliberately waiting for us to surround them.
Where is this an army that can win battles? I really don't know who the main general on the other side is, if I capture that person alive, I really want to ask him if he ate too many pig brains yesterday. ”
"Hahahaha."
After the three of them finished speaking, they all laughed, and then Qiu Zi ordered the soldiers to go to the army of Muyin to help, suggesting that they block the back road of the Qin army, and fight their own army again early tomorrow morning, and eat this army that rushed to die without knowing the height of the sky.
"Mu Yin has come to reinforcements, so General Wei should also make a move.
Brother Huang, you and I can die as we deserve, and we can be regarded as worthy of the general's love. ”
That day and night in the south of Muyang City, Niu Yong in the Qin army camp looked at the campfires dotted in the darkness in the distance and couldn't help muttering to himself. ”
.......
"Something is wrong, Qiuzitou, these Qin people have made it clear that they are going to fight to the death with us here."
Ah Huanu, who had just returned from the camp of the Qin people, found Qiuzi, who was also extremely surprised by the Chinese army, and said loudly.
Na Qiuzi looked at the dead bodies lying on the ground in front of the Qin military camp, and his face was extremely ugly.
"Those Qin people were too cunning, they dug two or three layers of trenches in front of the camp, and brought water to inject it. As soon as the warriors rushed there, they had to dismount and walk, so they were fired by a volley of bows and arrows from the Qin people.
They were condescending, the Qin bow shot far away, the warriors attacked from the bottom up, not to mention the slow speed, and the bow strength of the horse bow was not as good as that of the Qin people, so the warriors suffered a lot of losses.
......”
While wiping the dirt from her face, Ah Huanu kept nagging Qiuzi about the injustice she had experienced, as if to tell Qiuzi that this defeat was only caused by the cunning of the Qin people.
Qiuz listened carefully to Arwanu's nagging, though he was extremely impatient with the diminutive ally's remarks of shirking responsibility. But he is the commander of Muyang's army after all, so even if he doesn't like to listen to it, he has to pretend to listen carefully, but his ears automatically filter out some complaints and prevarication nonsense.
After a while, Ah Huanu finally finished all his words, watching him take the skin bag filled with water and wine handed over by his entourage and drink the water, Qiuzi thought for a moment and said: "Ah Huanu has worked hard, and the 10,000 reinforcements from Xinzheng will arrive here in a while, and I will replenish the troops for the leader." ”
After Qiuzi finished speaking, Na Huanu suddenly showed a hint of cunning, but it was only a moment when he changed to a very excited expression and immediately shouted: "In this case, the big leader of Qiuzi will let me rest for a while, and when the reinforcements arrive, I will lead Shangerlang to fight again."
I don't believe when the warriors of the steppe will be intimidated by a flock of weak sheep. ”
After Ah Huanu finished speaking emotionally, he immediately arched his hand to Qiuzi and turned around and walked out of Qiuzi's big tent, which made Qiuzi involuntarily jump several eyelids, because in a short period of time, he could see the same person who was pitiful for a while, and then so impassioned, which really made Qiuzi cry and laugh for a while.
"Pass the order, after the reinforcements come in a while, let Bemur lead five thousand foot soldiers to attack the Qin camp. If he can't take the camp of the Qin people, he won't come to see me. ”
"Yes".
Qiuzi obviously didn't quite believe the old fox's statement, so he thought about it and sent the Beidi people of Bemur to the battlefield.
In fact, from the heart, Qiuzi is not very willing to let Bemur be in the limelight, because even though there is no longer Rongdi now, all the tribes from the grassland are named after Xia, but the feud between Rongdi and Di, which has been formed for hundreds of years, still makes Qiuzi subconsciously put Bemur's army in the last place, so that Bemur's military exploits cannot pose a threat to other Rongren tribes.
But now the invincible Ahua Nu will never be able to conquer the camp of the Qin army, and according to his observations, although those Qin people are also seriously injured but still not hurt the roots, so the only way to do this is to let the Di people who are good at mountain warfare fight.
Otherwise, seeing that the people of Ahuanu were too seriously injured but still had to make them desperate, even the eagle Qiuzi was a little unbearable, and he would not be able to explain to Da Danyu in the future.
Just when Qiuzi was very embarrassed to make a decision, Niu Yong on the high slope also looked like a dumb person eating coptis. When the soldiers of Ahuanu left the corpses all over the ground and withdrew, the Qin soldiers on the hillside suddenly fell to the ground one after another, and collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
After some checking, when Niu Yong heard the news that seven out of ten arrows had been eliminated in the noon battle, and more than 1,000 soldiers had been killed or wounded, his heart suddenly began to beat again.
He knew that in peacetime, about 20% of the casualties were enough to put a strong army on the verge of collapse, so in the face of an enemy army with more people than him, even Niu Yong, who had won the battle, couldn't make up his mind for a while.
It is said that he led the army to achieve a great victory in yesterday's surprise attack on Muyang, and today he has been fighting with nearly 10,000 Rong troops for a long time, and the battle in the direction of Muyin City has already begun, and General Wei Mu's cavalry has also begun to move towards Lishan. However, he has not seen a single soldier who came to deliver the letter for half a day, let alone the order for them to withdraw.
And according to the plan, the reinforcements who came to meet him should also arrive today, but where can you see the shadow of a soldier and a boat and a tree on the calm water.
