Chapter 370: Hold on and Wait for Help
Seeing that he was about to be surrounded, Chen Kang only felt a boom in his head, and only three words remained: "Hit the plan!" And at this moment, the group of men and horses that were originally in chaos in front suddenly became tightly formed. The first general on a horse was Murong Trai himself.
"General, you still have a clever plan! The guards of the Huashan Army really chased him out, and now he is under siege, see how he escapes! When some of the generals beside Murong Chui saw this scene, they all showed joy and complimented one after another.
When he decided to return to his teacher before, Murong Chui had already considered it. He thought that Chen Kang should chase him out, so he designed it like this. After all, if he can get the news from Yi County, Chen Kang should not be much late.
If there was no news, Chen Kang might not chase him out, after all, he was afraid that there would be an ambush. But once he received this news, he must think that he would lead his army back to Yixian immediately, so he would not set up an ambush on the road, and he would definitely chase him out.
And this fact is exactly as he expected, when he got the news and heard that the Huashan army had really chased it out, he led a part of his men and horses to act as bait in front. In this way, Chen Kang would not consider the danger of that forest and accelerate into the encirclement.
Now everything is progressing as expected, as long as this road of soldiers and horses is solved, basically you can rush to Luoyang City without worry.
"It's too early to be happy, and the order will go down, and this Luhuashan army will be wiped out. Then, let's rush to Luoyang City as soon as possible to join the others! Although Murong Trai was also very happy, he didn't show it, just said lightly.
"General rest assured, with our strength several times that of his, if we want to destroy them, isn't it easy?" The general next to him said disapprerovingly.
Except for the soldiers and horses who rushed to Luoyang City first, there were about 4,000 soldiers and horses left behind along the way. In terms of numbers, it is indeed several times more than the Huashan Army. At this time, the encirclement had been formed, and the soldiers and horses of the Huashan Army were surrounded in the middle.
"There is an ambush! Array, fend off the enemy! Chen Kang regretted it in his heart at this time! However, there is no time to think about it. Fortunately, the Huashan Army has a lot of drills on weekdays, and it is not unheard of to be surrounded like this. So, after he regained his composure, he immediately ordered.
At the same time, he himself jumped off his horse and stood in the middle to command. The other soldiers of the Huashan Army quickly took him as the center of the circle, moved closer together, and formed a circle formation to defend it.
Its outermost periphery is all held together by shields, forming a barrier that is not very tall. There was no way around it, and they didn't have a lot of shields on their side. Behind the shield, a crossbowman stands in it.
And at the bottom are the spearmen and swordsmen! Thanks to the Huashan Army's training on weekdays, it is very skilled, otherwise, if they are suddenly surrounded, the soldiers will inevitably panic, and it is impossible to react so quickly and form a formation to protect themselves!
At the same time as the formation was formed, the two sides were already at war. Those Yan soldiers originally thought that this was a vain achievement, so after many people rushed out of the woods, they all rushed towards the Huashan army.
As a result, this group of people who ran at the forefront just fed the arrows, and after a few rounds of bows and arrows from the Huashan army, the offensive of those Yan troops slowed down suddenly. After all, people are afraid of death, and when they see them running over to die, who would dare to rush forward stupidly!
"It's a good Huashan army, I have long heard that they are highly disciplined, and they are especially ruthless when they train. When I saw it today, I knew that what I said was true! In such a situation, it is really possible for people to have such combat effectiveness! The order goes down, and the strategy is changed, with the shield-bearer advancing in front and the archers following behind. When the two armies approached, after breaking through the enemy's position, the army swarmed in! Seeing the scene in front of him, Murong was stunned for a moment and sighed. Subsequently, he also immediately adjusted his tactics.
The Yan army, which received the order, also immediately formed a formation and adopted a strategy of pressing step by step, using the shield hand as the front drive, while firing arrows to return fire. From all directions, they kept approaching the Huashan Army formation in the middle. With the shield to resist, the bows and arrows of the Huashan army were not so effective.
Soon, the Yan army had already advanced to a few meters in front of the Huashan army. Seeing this scene, Chen Kang became more cautious in his heart and clenched the spear in his hand.
"After the battle starts, you find an opportunity to rush out, rush back to Kip Shi Pass to report the news, and mobilize some soldiers and horses from the pass to come to the rescue. You don't need too many soldiers and horses, but everyone must ride a horse, you know? While watching the enemy's advance, Chen Kang said quietly to the soldiers on the side.
"General, my subordinates will fight side by side with you!" When the soldier heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"Confused, I asked you to go back to find someone to save everyone, if you don't leave, will you let everyone die here? This is a military order, and it must not be disobeyed! If you can't bring back reinforcements, you are the only one who asks! Hearing this, Chen Kang couldn't help but reprimand angrily.
"Yes, my subordinates understand, even if they die, they will definitely rush back to Kip Shi Pass to report the news!" When the soldier saw that he was angry, he hurriedly answered.
"It's good to understand! Get ready! Nodding, Chen Kang said no more.
Soon, the soldiers and horses of the two sides finally collided together. At such a close distance, the bow and crossbow were useless, and the two sides fought together. The Yan army wanted to break through the Huashan army's military formation, but the Huashan army was just the opposite, and wanted to hold its own position with all its might.
As long as the outer shield is defended, then the enemy will not be able to kill it. For Huashanjun, this is an effective way to delay time. This place is closer to Kip Shiguan after all, and after a long time, it will inevitably be discovered that something is wrong.
What is especially important is that although Murong Trai has set up an ambush here, the reality is that he does not have much time left. Chen Kang understood this, and Murong Chui himself also understood.
"If we can't solve them as soon as possible, we won't be able to rush to the outside of Luoyang City on time. With only a few thousand men and horses, I'm afraid we won't be able to take Luoyang City quickly, so we must fight quickly! Pass the order down, attack with all your might, and those who enter the enemy formation first will have a bounty of 10,000 taels! Seeing that the situation seemed to be about to stalemate, Murong couldn't help frowning.
There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and after this order was passed down, many people who were not afraid of death were moved, and one by one rushed towards the Huashan army from behind.
Although the military formation of the Huashan Army is stable, the other party is more numerous after all! The shields of the two sides are directly on top of each other, which is similar to a tug-of-war, the side with more people is stronger, and the side with fewer people is naturally unable to fight.
In this way, the military formation of the Huashan Army was pushed down by the opponent's numerical superiority, and the entire circular military formation became smaller and smaller. Seeing that the situation continued, he was afraid that everyone would be squeezed into stuffing, so Chen Kang had to order an attack.
In this way, the two sides were directly killed. At this time, it is already up to each with his own ability and combat strength.
From this point of view, the soldiers of the Huashan Army are much taller than the soldiers of the Yan Army. Therefore, even if they are in a scuffle, even if they are facing an enemy several times their size, the Huashan Army will remain undefeated for the time being.
"It's now, let's go!" After a scuffle, Chen Kang gestured to the soldiers beside him.
Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly jumped on Chen Kang's war horse, and then rushed towards the enemy. Although there were many enemy troops along the way, under the impact of the war horse, he still rushed out.
It's just that in the process, whether it was the war horse or the personal soldier, they all suffered a lot of injuries.
"When you go back to Kip Shi Pass, you must rush back to Kip Shi Pass as soon as possible to report the news!" The soldier finally broke out of the encirclement, and he didn't dare to turn back along the way, just muttered over and over again.
"Brothers, I have already sent someone back to report the news, or it won't be long before reinforcements arrive, everyone must persevere! Kill! Seeing the soldiers rushing out, Chen Kang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he simply shouted.
The soldiers of the Huashan Army, whose morale had been hit because of the ambush, couldn't help but lift their spirits when they heard this. Kip Stone Pass is not far from here, and reinforcements will not be long before it is needed.
"Kill!" Under the morale boost, the Huashan sergeants counterattacked with all their might, and the sound of shouting and killing in the entire forest resounded.
Those Yan soldiers were affected at this time, and they still felt a little unstoppable. After all, they also heard Chen Kang's words, and when they thought that the Huashan army would soon have reinforcements arriving, they were somewhat panicked.
Who let them deal with the Huashan Army for so long, and they have never been victorious, and the bravery of the Huashan Army has already left a deep impression in their hearts.
"We'll have to get rid of this group before their reinforcements arrive! The generals listened to the order, followed the general to kill the past, and wiped out the Huashan army! Murong Trai also heard this, his face couldn't help but change, and he didn't think about it, so he immediately said.
The next moment, he led a group of generals and soldiers into the battlefield in person, and the two sides were inseparable, and they were stuck together for a while.
On the side of Kip Shi Pass, since Chen Kang led his troops to pursue Murong Chui's army, he has always been in a state of entrenchment. The generals who were in charge of staying behind, on the one hand, led everyone to clean up the city, and on the other hand, they paid close attention to the movements in all directions, in case an enemy went and returned, and suddenly killed him.
"Captain, someone seems to be here over there!" A soldier in charge of lookout above the castle suddenly saw a figure in the north, and hurriedly called the captain over.
