Yan Chi couldn't have imagined that his decision greatly delayed the fighter, so that Yu Zhilong used this precious time to preliminarily solve the problem of his command system, and at the same time he could think about the follow-up battle plan.

The results of this battle played a cornerstone role in laying the foundation stone for the future changes in the Central Plains and the vicissitudes of the sea. Although today's battle, for the Yuan Court and Toto, for Liu Futong, Fang Guozhen, Zhang Shicheng and others in the south, they are just a wave, and they don't even have a gimmick to attract their attention. Even the immersive Yu Zhilong, Yan Chi and others did not expect that the future evolution would be so big!

Soon, the scouts reported that the thieves were tidying things up, cleaning up the battlefield, and soon it was time to eat. Looking at the corpses of the thieves on the ground, there are about more than 300 corpses, which is counting the corpses of the families of the soldiers, and it is not surprising that the scouts are wrong. Yu Hai and these thieves have no serious equipment, except for the knives, guns and bows and arrows in their hands, only a small number of shields and armor, everyone is wearing cloth shirts and shoes, and the scouts of the Yuan Cavalry are observed from a distance, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between soldiers and civilians, and can only be judged according to their own experience.

Yan Chi had already ordered all the personnel to retreat quickly, hide in a slightly larger wood, strictly ordered not to make noise, and scouts were sent out, not only to detect the movements of the anti-thieves, but also to pay attention to vigilance, and even snipe the anti-thieves' scouts if necessary, to ensure that the anti-thieves would not be alarmed in a short time.

At the same time, the rebels who notified the Meng clan quickly rushed over and asked the Meng clan to leave some men and horses to continue to blockade the Qingshui River in case of emergency.

Finally, the sunset reached the ridgeline of the hills in the distance, and it wasn't long before night came.

Yu Zhilong and the others were still discussing with Liu Zhengfeng, and a scout suddenly rushed back sweating, and the direction he explored was different from Zhao Shi and Yu Zhilong, so he didn't encounter the battle between Yu Zhilong and Wu Yangu at first, but he brought back a news that everyone urgently needed to confirm.

The brigade of Tartars has been discovered! Look at the banner is a thousand households, and there are about more than 200 Tartar cavalry!

Yan Chi originally wanted to wait for the Meng Clan's righteous army to come and converge, and then face off with the anti-thieves in a dignified manner, but these two hundred cavalry teams even had hundreds of people and horses, and it was not easy for such a huge cavalry to hide in the forest. He had retreated very carefully for a while, but the horseshoe prints on the ground and the weeds that he stepped on could not be completely removed, and he was finally discovered by Yu Hai's scouts, and according to the clues on the ground, he tracked all the way and found Yan Chijun who was hiding.

The Yuan Cavalry here immediately pursued and killed, but did not complete the work, and only escaped from this scout.

Yan Chi learned that he could not wait! Today's anti-thief and black face bone battle loss is not small, the other party's spirit is inevitably relaxed after the tragic victory, at this time the sun is slanting westward, there is still afterglow, while the sky is still recognizable, if it is not prepared, give it a fierce blow, it will be a miracle!

If you wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, after joining up with the Meng Clan's rebel army, although your own strength will be greatly enhanced, the other party will have time for internal rectification, and morale is likely to recover, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

It would be even less beautiful if its leader fled in the night.

In this case, simply repeating the old tricks, the anti-thief must not have expected it!

Yan Chi's psychology and changes at this time were extremely similar to those of Wu Yan Gu at the beginning!

After making up his mind, Yan Chi gave an order, and all the Yuan horses turned over and quietly went straight to the front under the leadership of the scout. At this time, Yan Chi's subordinates already knew what happened to Wu Yan Gu and others, and everyone had some friendship, but Wu Yan Gu was caught in the hands of thieves because of carelessness, and now he just wanted to show his skills and avenge Wu Yan Gu and others.

The iron cavalry rolled, and in a short time, it was close to the place where the enemy was stationed. Yan Chi drank the order, gradually raised the speed of the horse, and the banner of the thousand households behind him was waved in the hunting wind.

It's a small piece of flat land, and two more hills up the hill you can see the anti-thief camp.

Suddenly, a cavalry galloped out of the front slope, there were more than 100 horsemen, in a sharp and arrow formation, holding high swords and guns, straight to the center of Yan Chi's team, and the first few people were Ji Xiancheng, Zhao Shi, Wu Side, Chang Zhi, Yu Zhilong!

The two cavalry soon collided violently, because the distance was not far when they met, and neither side had time to release their arrows, but only heard the sound of swords and guns, blocking, and the screams of men and falling to the ground. After the two sides hedged, they turned their horses around.

If so, the two sides have faced off three times!

The Yuan Cavalry here is well-trained and cooperates tacitly, and the fighting spirit is high-spirited over there, and he sees death as home. In the end, the casualties of the Yuan Cavalry were still less. After the two sides made a mistake, dozens of dead and wounded people were left in the open space in the middle, and after the ownerless war horse followed its companion for a while, he found that the rider had fallen from his horse, and he was no longer driven, so he gradually slowed down his pace, pacing and flashing to the side.

Yan Chi was a little surprised, looking at his outfit, these anti-thieves were obviously thieves, because most of the war horses under the other party's crotch were the horses abandoned by them. It's a pity that although the opponent's fighting spirit is high, after all, the army is hastily promoted, and the combat skills, riding skills and coordination are obviously inferior to the Yuan army. As long as you have two more rounds of hedging, you can basically defeat the opponent.

Yan Chi still appreciates the other party's initiative to fight back, whether it is timing or courage, this kind of performance is already remarkable for a long-term anti-thief.

After Zhao Shi and Yu Zhilong led the horse team to retreat for the third time, this time it was not a head-to-head duel, but after a rush, they did not look back, and continued to gallop along the way they came, as if they were going to withdraw from the battle.

Yan Chi turned around again, and when he saw that he was about to escape, he chased after him first without thinking. At the same time, he took off the riding bow next to the saddle and raised the bow to shoot, and his subordinates did as they were told.

Seeing that the arrows were whizzing and constantly falling into the formation of Zhao Shi and others, Yu Zhilong and everyone lay tightly on the saddle, constantly dialing the arrows that were shot. Yuan Qi is good at archery, and his accuracy is very good, although everyone keeps dialing, there are still people who are shot one after another, and from time to time someone is shot off the horse.

Zhao Shi and the others fled in front, Yan Chi pursued in the rear, the two teams turned the hillside, and a pass appeared in front, the pass was about two zhang wide, and the trees and boulders on both sides were dense.

After this confrontation between the two sides, the sun had already set, leaving only the fiery red sunset on the horizon, bright as blood.

Zhao Shi led the team to rush along the pass, Yan Chi looked left and right, although the trees on both sides were dense, he could see that there was no one in the forest at all, and he was also relieved to pursue.

After passing the pass, a large group of foot soldiers appeared in front of them, deployed in a horizontal row, about three or four hundred people. When Zhao Shi came, the foot soldiers immediately separated from the middle to the left and right, allowing the cavalry to pass quickly from the middle, and immediately reverted to the sideways after the cavalry, ready to block the Yuan cavalry.

Yan Chi was secretly happy in his heart, everyone was looking for him thousands of times, and it didn't take any effort to get it, this thief dared to resist head-on, which was exactly what Yan Chi wanted! So he hung up his bow, drew his sword, and prepared to slash.

Seeing that they were about to gallop to the infantry array, the infantry suddenly retreated quickly under the command of the leader, revealing a row of crooked carts with a large distance from each other, and the infantry struggled to resist while retreating behind the cart as soon as possible.

Yan Chi was quite strange at the beginning, the opponent's formation was not strong, he retreated before he rushed, and he used the car formation to block the enemy, so he really thought that my Mongolian warriors would not have a long memory?

Men can't be taught! By driving repeatedly, these thieves will be completely wiped out!

Meaning to go with him, Yan Chi kept the scimitar in his hand, chasing the retreating enemy pawns, cutting down the two in a row, and rushing through the cart in the lead.

Killing these foot soldiers, the Yuan cavalry rushed past this row of crooked and twisted vehicles, only to see a big flag standing not far away, and Yan Chi vaguely recognized that the big Chinese character in the flag was the word "Yu" in the twilight. A group of about forty or fifty foot soldiers raised their shields to face the Yuan cavalry, and behind them were seven or eight men who looked like leaders standing under the banners. The thieves who had escaped before galloped straight towards them, and then went around the side, as if to form a group behind them.

Yan hit the horse's belly with two feet, urging the war horse to speed up, ran forward for more than a dozen steps, and suddenly found that there were many black shadows on the ground, and at a closer look, they were all wooden piles, the wooden stakes were only about a foot high, and the wooden stakes were tied with hemp ropes, coming and going, constituting a number of simple tripping ropes, only a narrow road in the middle could be passed, and it was barely three or four rides in parallel. The entire area of the stake is less than 100 meters deep, but it is quite wide and basically covers the area behind the vehicle.

Yan Chi was shocked, he couldn't turn back at this time, and he couldn't stop his horse, so he hurriedly reminded the rear team loudly and continued to rush forward along the narrow road. After the subsequent Yuan Riders rushed through the cart, they were caught off guard when they saw the changes in front of them, some of the fast horses were tripped by the ropes because they couldn't dodge, and the slow horses relied on their superb riding skills or slowed down the horse's speed, jumped between the ropes, or directly stopped the horses.

However, there seems to be a trap on the ground, as deep as a foot, and some of the Yuan riders fell into it because of the horse's legs, and they couldn't close the momentum, and the people and horses immediately fell to the ground.

At this time, the foot soldiers who retreated to the back of the car surrounded the Yuan Cavalry, fighting more and less, and seized the opportunity to try to kill these Yuan Cavalry.

Some of the skilled cavalry soldiers simply hid their bodies in the belly of their horses, leaned forward and swung their knives forward, trying to cut these ropes, but unfortunately the ropes were deliberately slightly relaxed when they were tied, and the steel knives were difficult to use force on them, and this cutting method was not effective. There were also some Yuan cavalry who had to dismount and fight directly on foot.

The fierce charge of the two hundred yuan rider was greatly slowed down behind the car! Some of the Yuan Cavalry were completely entangled with the opposing foot soldiers.

Yan Chi slowed down his horse's speed, carefully led the people to advance in the narrow road along the enemy's retreat, and at the same time shot arrows at the thief soldiers in front of him as fast as he could, and in less than a hundred meters, Yan Chi alone had already shot nearly ten arrows.

When Yan Chi finally came out, less than half of the Yuan Cavalry who were finally able to break out of these stumbling ropes safely, and the rest were either trapped in it and continued to fight to the death, or they were already killed. Just now, they only folded more than 20 people by hedging with Zhao Shi, but in this tripping area, they actually folded more than 60 people one after another! That's nearly a hundred-man cavalry!

When Hou Ying told the Yuan cavalry that it was approaching, Liu Zhengfeng and the others understood that they were now not capable of fighting the Yuan cavalry head-on in the field, not to mention that they had already been injured a lot just now, and even Yu Hai was seriously injured. According to the opinion of most people, they immediately threw away their baggage, and all of them went directly to the ditch on the right, went up the hillside, crossed the dense forest, and threw off the Yuan cavalry, leaving only some of the men and horses to deal with the enemy after they were broken, attracting the Yuan cavalry to other directions.

The leader Liu Qiyi boasted of his wisdom, and when he saw that the situation was critical, he urged repeatedly: "Leader Liu, while the Tartar has not yet arrived, the big guy hurry up and cross the ditch, as long as the people are still there, there will still be a chance!" As for who is broken, everyone will draw lots! ”

Qin Zhanshan continued: "Yes, just now a Tartar Hundred Cavalry basically defeated one of our squadrons, and now there are two Tartar Hundred Cavalry here!" What Leader Liu said is very true, let's withdraw quickly! ”

After thinking about it carefully, Yu Zhilong said to Liu Zhengfeng: "Big leader, it is not the best choice to abandon the baggage and withdraw now. It was mostly hilly, lacking deep ravines and high cliffs, and even if the Tartar cavalry could not pass through here, they could find a suitable way to get around it from the vicinity. They were fast and could easily block our way. As for dividing troops to lure the enemy, it is not easy to be fooled if there are fewer people, and it is easy to be eaten by Tartars, and it is meaningless when there are more people, and the families who have fled also lack protection, so I suggest that they stay and fight. ”

Liu Zhengfeng and everyone were quite surprised when they heard it, and they didn't expect that Yu Zhilong would choose to fight the enemy at this time. But what Yu Zhilong said also expressed the worries in everyone's hearts, if you give up the burden and lure the enemy, how many people can be saved in the end is really not optimistic. Even if the big guys escape alive and have no food, how many days can they support in this mountainous area?

"Since Brother Yu wants to fight, there must be a way, what do you have to say!" Zhao Shi knew that Yu Zhi was brave and careful, and since he dared to speak out to stop it, he must have an idea.

"Oh, what can you do?" Liu Zhengfeng asked eagerly.

"There was a pass just ahead, and the entrance was small and steep, and we lined up behind the pass, and behind the cars were densely covered with wooden stakes, and many ropes were tied, leaving only a narrow road in the middle. Now that the sun has reached the foot of the mountain, and night is coming soon, as long as you take advantage of the moment when the night has just set, you can bring in the tartar, and he will not be able to eat and go around! ”

"But it's still getting dark, and it's still a while before the night falls, what should I do?" Liu Zhengfeng asked rhetorically.

"We can use the captured Tartar horses and select brothers who are good at riding to form a team, and I am willing to take command of them myself, and deal with them for a while, and then lead them into a trap. When the time comes, please command the big boss in the center, and all the leaders cooperate! ”

"I think the plan is feasible. But I'll do the work of leading the team! Although Zhao Shi didn't say much, every word was sonorous and powerful.

"It's fun! I'll do it with everyone! Ji Xiancheng continued.

"Count me in!" Chang Zhidao.

"Haha, I'm an old partner with Zhao Tou, Liu is in charge, so let's do it?" Wu Side said with a smile.

The rest of the leaders pondered that as long as they cooperated well and did not give the Tartars a chance to consider, there was still a possibility of success while the sky was getting dark. Anyway, you have to take risks, rather than being chased and killed by the Tartars, it is better to give it a go, and many family and friends have been killed by the Tartars today, and the desire for revenge is still boiling in the heart, so everyone agrees.

Liu Zhengfeng saw that the leaders had unified their thoughts, and he didn't hesitate, and said, "Then do it!" We now have more than 100 war horses to ride, you should immediately go back and select the brothers who are good at riding, and gather them all, Brother Zhao Shi, you lead the team! ”

"Leader Liu, you go and arrange the vehicles, according to Brother Yu's plan, put them in front of the pass, and the teams will be concentrated and deployed here."

"Leader Qin, Leader Wan, and Leader Xiahou immediately led people to bury wooden stakes and tie more ropes!"

"I personally lured the enemy in the rear and planted the banner of Brother Hai. After the Tartars enter the trap, they will definitely turn over on their backs, leaders, you must quickly lead your subordinates to surround and kill the Tartars" Once Liu Zhengfeng made up his mind, he immediately issued various orders clearly.

"Be careful, the rope should be tied slightly loosely to avoid the tartar being cut in two." Yu Zhilong added, "In addition, dig some more holes in the ground that are one foot deep, half a foot wide and one foot deep. Cover it with a blank sheet of cloth and sprinkle it with floating soil so that it will not be discovered by the tartars. ”

"Good way, you know!" Leader Wan and Leader Xiahou nodded.
