Chapter 49: Breaking the City (6)
"Report! General Pan, the valley is empty now, not to mention the ambush of **, not even a fly is gone! "Outside the Yunyi Valley, the captain of the light cavalry scout sent out by Pansha is reporting to Pansha what he has discovered in the valley.
"Good!" Pan Sha agreed, turned to Zhao Jing on the side and said, "Order, speed up, and quickly pass through Yunyi Valley!" ”
Soon after, the Qi army of more than 10,000 people passed through the Yunyi Valley smoothly. Pansha's heart finally settled down, let out a long breath, stretched out his hand and slowly supported his chest, when he calmed down, he also felt the pants that were still wet under his buttocks, and couldn't help frowning.
At this time, not far from the exit of Yunyi Valley, several people were lying on the ground, staring at the team of the Qi army with full attention, it was Bian Hao and Chen Yang's extremely confidant generals.
"General Chen, there are probably more than 10,000 people in the Qi army, counting the men and horses lost in the valley just now, there are about 5,000 people sent out to pursue General Meng!" Bian Hao stared intently ahead, and asked Chen Yang beside him.
Chen Yang also frowned, and said with a solemn face: "It seems that this enemy commander wants to directly encircle and suppress General Meng!" So many people were sent in one go! ”
"Yes! Although we had planned it a long time ago, I was still a little worried about General Meng, after all, the enemy army had sent about 5,000 people! Bian Hao said worriedly.
"Hey! Don't think about it so much! We will do what General Meng arranges! Chen Yang patted Bian Hao's shoulder, sighed and comforted: "Besides, Master Hou seems to have arranged the people to receive him a long time ago, and General Meng will definitely be fine!" Rest assured! ”
Thinking of the scene in the Jidoushan military camp two nights ago, Bian Hao also felt a lot more relaxed, looked up at the Qi army that was gradually moving away, and smiled at Chen Yang: "Okay, the enemy troops are gone!" It's time for us to go back! ”
"Well, let's go!" Chen Yang agreed, stood up and patted the dirt on his body, and said to the henchmen behind him: "Gather the brothers and return to Yunyi Valley!" ”
On the other side, Xue Gang led 4,000 cavalry to follow the traces left by the ** cavalry, and he didn't know how many detours he had spared in the woods, so he finally got out of the woods.
Xue Gang, who came out of the woods, looked around on horseback and slowly frowned, not knowing what he was pondering.
"Smack!" , suddenly Xue Gang slapped himself on the head, looked at the surrounding scene, pointed not far behind him and exclaimed, "It's a trick!" Isn't that the path into the woods just now? ”
Sure enough, about a hundred meters behind Xue Gang, there was indeed a path leading into the woods, and it was indeed the path that ** entered when retreating.
Although he encountered an ambush in the woods, he did not suffer too many casualties, and ** took the Qi army in the woods for nearly an hour, but he did not ambush and attack the Qi army.
After Xue Gang thought about all this, he suddenly realized that ** was not trying to ambush and attack him, but to lure him away. Thinking of the ambush in Yunyi Valley, Xue Gang suddenly understood that it was ** buying time for his companions to retreat!
"Thief! chased General Ben for half an hour, but he didn't even touch General Ben's face, but he lost dozens of horses! What kind of face do you have to live in the world! ”
Suddenly, a loud shout woke up Xue Gang, Xue Gang looked at the voice, and saw more than ten riders not far away, and the first person was the ** general who had been chasing him for an hour.
Listening to Meng Hong's arrogant question, Xue Gang finally had a place to vent the fire in his belly, and as soon as he lifted the reins, the war horse under his crotch roared, Xue Gang slammed the horse's belly with his legs, and without answering, he raised his knife and rushed towards Meng Hong.
And the generals behind Xue Gang, seeing Xue Gang rushing out single-handedly, were worried that Xue Gang would make a mistake, so they followed one after another.
Seeing this, Meng Hong just kept walking his horse back and forth in the same place, looking at the twenty or thirty Qi army generals led by Xue Gang, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When Xue Gang was less than twenty meters away from him, Meng Hong also pulled the reins violently, turned the horse's head behind him, whipped the horsewhip in his hand on the horse's buttocks behind him, and shouted "driving" in his mouth, and led more than ten horsemen around him to start escaping!
"Piff! Where to run! Xue Gang saw that Meng Hong had not yet fought and fled, and the blade of the long knife in his hand slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and increased the horse's speed.
In this way, Meng Hong led more than ten elite cavalry soldiers to escape in front, and Xue Gang led twenty or thirty Qi generals to chase behind, and then there were four thousand cavalry brought by Xue Gang.
But what Xue Gang didn't know was that after the 4,000 cavalry ran out of a few miles, just now, a cavalry team of more than 2,000 people was gathered in the woods on both sides one after another, which was the cavalry team led by Meng Hong in the woods just now.
Under the orderly command of some middle-level generals, this cavalry quickly assembled and chased after Xue Gang's 4,000 cavalry.
More than two hours later, Pan Sha led the Qi army to the area of Heguan Village.
A mountain rises on the vast ground, and Heguan Village is located on this mountain, Heguan Village, also has its name, worthy of its name!
Pan Sha looked at the situation in front of him and didn't feel anything unusual, especially in this kind of unsheltered terrain, even if he was ambushed, it was impossible to ambush here.
And the accelerated march along the way also led to the fact that there was no scout team to explore the terrain, but only relied on the topographic map in hand to make simple and direct judgments.
Although the ambush in Yunyi Valley at noon made Pansha more cautious, judging from the current situation, he would not believe that ** would be ambushed here.
"Kill!" Not far away, there was a sudden shouting of killing from Heguan Village, which was Fu Qiu, who had been ambushed here for a long time.
Awakened by an inexplicable shouting of killing, Pansha decisively hurriedly ordered to line up to meet the enemy. After all, Pansha's position at this time was in the lowlands, and Fu Qiu could rely on the terrain where Heguan Village was located to launch the most powerful cavalry charge.
Pansha, who had already made preparations, quickly arranged the shield soldiers at the front of the army this time, followed by five hundred pikemen.
Under the protection of the shield guards and pikemen in the front row, the Qi soldiers in the rear began to draw their bows and arrows, and only waited for Pan Sha to give an order, and they could shoot arrows full of hatred at the ** who rushed over.
Originally, this time the troops were sent to aid Liangdang City, and most of the troops led by Pan Sha were cavalry, and the 2,000 shield soldiers in the front row were still put together temporarily, and the pikemen were directly dismounted by the cavalry to fight on foot, holding a cavalry spear behind the shield soldiers, temporarily acting as pikemen.
Pansha stood in the middle of the horse, sat on the horseback and straightened up, looked up at the ** who had already launched the charge, looking at the formation, Pansha estimated in his heart that there were about 3,000 cavalry!
It seems that this time it was a wrong decision to invite troops to help Liangdang, I thought that the journey would be smooth, and I could rush to Liangdang City after dark, but I never thought that it was not long after noon, and I suffered two ** ambushes in succession, and it is estimated that this time to support Liangdang is not as easy as I thought.
Seeing that the ** who rushed down the hill was about to enter the range of the archers, Pansa slowly raised his right hand high and stared intently at the ** who rushed down the hill in front of him.
