Chapter 620: More than half of the casualties
Da Da...
The 5,000 men sent out were all cavalry, and they advanced at a faster pace.
Badun and Yan Rou stared behind, observing the movements on both sides of the valley.
Soon.
The five thousand horsemen ran smoothly and were not ambushed. Both Badun and Yan Rou subconsciously thought that there were no ambushes in the valley, and it was likely that they were bluffing as before.
Walk!
With a wave of his hand, he led tens of thousands of horsemen into the valley.
To their surprise.
Halfway through, he was hit by a fierce burst of arrows: whoosh...
Burst! Burst!
The Wuhuan soldiers walking on the mountain road were caught off guard and hit one after another.
Be careful, there is an ambush! Lying on the back of the horse, he burst into tears.
Yan Rou held a shield, terrified.
Followed by.
A general appeared halfway up the mountain, shouting loudly: Listen, people down the mountain, you have been tricked. There is no way to escape, so surrender quickly, lest you die here.
Bun Dun propped himself up slightly, and shouted towards the mountain: If you want Ben Danyu to surrender, you are dreaming!
You're just a bundton, aren't you?
Precisely.
This general Zhang Nan is also! Zhang Nan shouted excitedly: God has eyes, let me catch you. Badun, General Ben and ask you, will it fall or not?
Hahaha... Zhang Nanxiao'er, are you worthy to question me? He glanced behind him, raised his halberd and shouted, "Sons, follow me out of the valley, rush out..."
Come on....
The soldiers behind him were all at full speed and ran forward desperately.
Zhang Nan snorted coldly, drew his sword and shouted: Drumming! Sortie!
Knock knock...
Whoosh....
Thundered...
With the thunder of drums, the drizzle of arrows flew down the boulders and tumbled down the hillside, smashing into the cavalry on the mountain path. Wu Huan's cavalry ran at the front and suffered heavy losses head-on.
Burst!
Yes.... Badun was also hit by an arrow.
Shan Yu, are you alright? Yan Rou next to him was taken aback.
I'm fine, rush out.... Badun's heart was clear. The only way to avoid being encircled and annihilated was to cross the valley and retreat to the north. If they can't rush out and are intercepted by Han Xin's pursuers, then the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of Wuhuan Goguryeo Gongsun Du may really be wiped out.
Thinking of the 100,000 cavalry he brought, he was the main force of all Wuhuan people.
If it is completely annihilated or defeated, how can Wuhuan survive? In the face of the attack of Goguryeo Gongsun Du Xianbei Xiongnu and Lu Bu, can you still protect yourself?
He only felt a chill down his spine, and he was bent on rushing out.
Throw arrows and stones, don't let go of the enemy... Zhang Nan stood on a large bluestone halfway up the mountain, holding a sword, and kept shouting.
The task given to him by Qin Qiong was to destroy one or two thousand enemy troops.
But Zhang Nan was not satisfied. He has more than 30,000 troops in his hands, and he is condescending and occupies a dangerous position. If you can completely annihilate the enemy's cavalry and capture the Badun alive, how much credit will it have?
Seeing that Lu Bu was about to win the world, he also wanted to make a great contribution and get a reward.
Whoosh...
The soldiers desperately fired their arrows.
Zhang Nan kept shouting: Shoot them, shoot them...
After half a column of incense.
The iron cavalry led by Gatton, although suffering heavy casualties, still escaped. The cavalry of Goguryeo Gongsun Du, located at the rear, rushed halfway, the mountain road was blocked, and it was difficult to move, and almost half of the cavalry were annihilated by Zhang Nan.
Da Da...
When all the cavalry had rushed out of the valley, they had reached a safe place. Badun sent someone to count it, and there were less than 60,000 horsemen left.
In other words, in the battle just now, nearly half of the casualties were lost!
Alas....
Yan Rou covered the arrow wound on her left hand, sat aside to rest, and sighed: "It's miserable..."
It's all my fault, it's all the three armies! Badon also walked over, feeling remorseful in his heart.
Yan Rou said: It's no wonder that this is not alone. Even if you knew that there was an ambush in the valley, you had to rush through. Otherwise, if they are caught up by Han Shin's pursuers, the casualties will be even greater.
Alas....
Badon also sighed.
He didn't know what to do now. Further back, I don't know how many ambushes there were? How many traps? If there was another large-scale ambush battle, he didn't dare to guarantee that the remaining 60,000 horsemen would be able to break through smoothly.
Report....
A soldier ran over in a panic: Yudanyu, a large number of chariots appeared in the north, heading... Rushing towards us.
How many? Badun and Yan Rou suddenly stood up.
The soldier replied: "Too... There are too many to see at a glance.
Herald to fight!
He didn't dare to hesitate to climb onto his mount.
Promise. The soldier walked away quickly.
Yan Rou also endured the pain in her arm, turned over a horse, and said hurriedly: The enemy's chariot is only suitable for fighting on the plains, so let's retreat east and enter the official road. His chariot was no longer effective.
Good.
He didn't have an idea, and he didn't bother to think about it, so he replied: Just listen to you....
Retreat east with me!
He waved his halberd and took the lead in evacuating.
All the cavalry followed.
Twenty miles to the east.
The roads became narrower and narrower, the official roads were rugged, and the jungle was dense. Such terrain is really not suitable for combat vehicles to gallop. But it was also unsuitable for cavalry combat. And here, there are a full 150,000 ambush soldiers, led by Qin Qiong himself!
Report... General Yu, he was fooled. All his horsemen are heading here. It was an adjutant general who spoke.
Qin Qiong ran to a mountain col and looked to the west, the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously: Sure enough, it's here. Hum... I'm afraid I didn't even dream of it. There will be 150,000 heavy soldiers hidden in this place.
Oh, yes. He didn't dare to fight our chariots, so he looked for the nearest official way. Don't want to bump into our arms.... Several generals next to him were very excited.
Whether or not you can eliminate Badun and win the battle of Hebei depends on this battle.
Qin Qiong turned around and said: Order all troops and horses to prepare for the attack. When I give the order, the enemy cavalry will be surrounded and annihilated!
Promise....
The generals went to prepare.
Qin Qiong continued to look at the sky.
Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, Qin Qiong was also excited.
Da Da...
The sound of horses' hooves gradually shriveled, and the cavalry, which covered the sky and the sun, appeared at the end of the official road, stirring up a large cloud of dust. Qin Qiong saw the opportunity and said to the herald on the side: Let the soldiers who are ambushed in that wood, when the enemy army is halfway over, kill them in two ways, left and right, and cut them off. Ambush soldiers in the woods, cameras kill, be sure to inflict heavy damage on the enemy. Then order the army formation in the east to march westward, and prepare to destroy the Bunton.
Promise.
The herald hurried away.
Command delivery.
The 60,000 horsemen of Badon entered the woods and galloped eastward without question.
