Chapter 663: Combat
Xu Mingshan's leading speed is faster than Zhang Chengye's estimate, and he doesn't need to arrive at Wanghu Mountain at night, the reason why the marching speed is so fast is because the team is scattered, such as integrating the queue to march at least twice the time, Xu Mingshan and Zhang Chengye Wu Peng are standing on the top of a hill, looking at the direction of the enemy team in the west, and the two sides are four or five miles apart.
Wu Peng pointed to the west and said, "That side is the direction of the decoy team."
Xu Mingshan said, "Is such a dark and dreary night beneficial to our attack?" Or will it make Fang Wenhou easier to defend"
Zhang Chengye expressed his opinion and said, "Of course, this captain is beneficial to us, and at the same time, after breaking the camp, it is also conducive to pursuing the enemy."
Wu Peng looked a little worried, "Captain, after all, Lu Escort has no experience in leading troops, is it really okay for him to lure the enemy?" I'm worried that he won't be able to reach the ambush point on time."
Xu Mingshan said with a smile, "There is still Wen Lushan on the side, what is there to worry about, they are just luring the enemy, not a vanguard battle, as long as they can attract Fang Wenhou's attention, it is the time for us to attack."
Zhang Chengye suddenly sighed, "Captain, this is the last battle, right?" ”
Xu Mingshan said with a smile, "It's the last battle, after this battle, the invasion of the Huang Gongjun can all come to an end, but after this battle, I don't know if the prince will let Tuoba Yanxi go back safely"
Xu Mingshan's words caused Zhang Chengye to think deeply: "Captain, this is to say, is it possible that the prince will not let people go back?" ”
Xu Mingshan did not reply and asked Wu Peng, "What do you think?" ”
Wu Peng said, "There is indeed this possibility, because Fang Wenhou is defeated, our relationship with Tuoba Yanxi will change, although this time it is to save him, but whether it will be friend or foe in the future, it is difficult to say now."
Zhang Chengye threw a mess and said, "No matter what happens in the future, this time he was saved, whether he is an enemy or a friend, there is still room for relaxation."
Wu Peng smiled, "This matter depends on how the prince makes decisions in the future, we just need to find a way to win every battle."
At this moment, a figure flashed out of the forest below, and rushed straight to the three of them, and the person who came was a messenger.
The messenger went around to the rear of the three and saluted, "Captain, the Lu guard has succeeded in luring the enemy, and the enemy camp has rushed out of a group of cavalry, which is not really visible in the middle of the night, but it is estimated that there are about 5,000."
Xu Mingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Based on Fang Wenhou's strength estimate, he should send two teams, each team of five thousand, so that they can respond to each other, he has 30,000 troops and will not chase the enemy, Fang Wenhou still thinks about being cautious first"
Zhang Chengye nodded in agreement, "10,000 cavalry attack, this is the best, I also told Lu Wei before, scatter the team of 1,000 people, 100 people, as long as they are divided and annihilated, they will definitely be eaten, but it will take some time"
Xu Mingshan stared into the distance and said in a deep voice: "Since they have succeeded in luring the enemy, we can't slack off, reorganize the army!" ”
Lu Kai Wen Lushan was lying in a forest, Wen Lushan jumped down from the top of the tree and said to Lu Kai, "Our team has successfully dispersed the opponent's 5,000 men and horses."
Lu Kai Wenlushan is currently two people here, but behind the hill, two teams of 5,000 people each, these are all elite soldiers under Xu Mingshan, their combat power is absolutely unquestionable, everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives for Jing Yue's honor and disgrace.
After Lu Kai made a gesture and the two returned to the hill, Wen Lushan reminded Lu Kai, "I showed up to lure the enemy to fight, and after seeing the signal, you are leading the troops to come over and help kill the enemy, no matter what situation I encounter here, you must not be impatient, you can only come when you see my signal."
Lu Kai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't be impatient, then we'll go our separate ways."
Wen Lushan nodded and led the team apart.
Lu Kai faced the soldiers, glanced around at the majestic man in front of him, and then made a gesture to prepare.
The soldiers reacted immediately, and no one showed the slightest hesitation, giving the impression that they were eagerly awaiting this moment.
Lu Xingzhong was excited, this was the first time he led the army to fight, and all he had in his heart was blood boiling, he was convinced that they would defeat Fang Wenhou, so as to establish authority over Beishu, if he won this battle, Beishu would not invade Jingyue for a few years, as long as there were a few years to arrange, he could help Shen Jiancheng stabilize the situation one by one.
Xu Mingshan's order to him was to lure the enemy, but he didn't say anything to death, because things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and it is to lure the enemy and respond to the attack, all by Lu Kai and Wen Lushan according to the situation, some things will not be understood at all if they have not experienced it, and now Lu Kai understands what it is like to be enthusiastic, and at the same time, Lu Kai also understands that some of these people in front of him cannot go back alive.
In any case, this battle is very critical, Wen Lushan also understands this very well, Wen Lushan said to his subordinates, "The front lure enemy team will send us a signal, and we will impact the signal together, the task is to break the enemy army in two and then flank the friendly army, we are only responsible for the enemy troops outside the enemy camp, and the enemy army in the camp is responsible for its own captain."
Wen Lushan shouted: "Get on the horse!" ”
All the soldiers climbed on horseback.
Wen Lushan turned his horse's head in front and slowly advanced towards the battlefield.
Wu Peng was instructing the soldiers to check the situation of the fire bow, and then walked to Xu Mingshan's side, "Wait for us to leave an empty camp earlier, this time to see if he dares to smear poison on the camp tent."
Xu Mingshan concentrated his eyes on the enemy's camp below, but even if Xu Mingshan's sharp eyes were not clear, he couldn't see it from twenty zhang Xu outside, Xu Mingshan said, "Don't talk about gas, this is Fang Wenhou's base camp, how could he apply poison in his camp, whether it is smeared or not, the remaining safflower pollen is in the camp, as long as the rocket is fired in, they will suffer the consequences."
Zhang Chengye looked up at the stars and said, "This night will be long"
Wu Peng smiled and said, "I think this night will pass soon."
Zhang Chengye smiled slightly, he could understand what Wu Peng meant, "It's almost time to be a captain"
Fang Wenhou closed his eyes in the tent and recuperated, and at the same time said to Li Yan beside him, "Xu Mingshan is really patient, don't attack now"
Li Yan was a little apprehensive and said, "Could it be that he sensed that we have laid a trap here?" If so. The situation is not in our favor."
Fang Wen said, "Don't worry! Don't be impatient, the situation you are afraid of will never happen, until this time Xu Mingshan has not made any movement, that means that he is preparing to attack, be more patient"
In the east and west, there was a roar of hooves.
Fang Wenhou's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "It's here!" ”
Li Yan immediately went out of the camp and presided over the front and shouted, "Ready!" ”
The shield-bearers raised their shields, and then the spear-wielding warriors were ready, and the three rows of archers behind them were all bowed and arrowed.
The Northern Shu Hussars are famous for their megatronage, but the Jingyue Iron Cavalry is not to be outdone, and appears in all directions like a tornado to attack the Northern Shu Hussars who are out in pursuit.
The Northern Shu hussars went out to pursue and were not brainless, they had already made preparations, if they were brainless to pursue, they would definitely be trampled into broken powder armor by the enemy's hooves
It's hard to survive, and of course it won't happen now.
When the Jingyue army surrounded the Northern Shu hussars, the rear of the Beishu hussars 5,000 elite cavalry battalion came to the rescue, from the east and west sides of the hill to pounce, the momentum was fierce, as if hitting the shore of the angry tide, teaching people to see the fear, and two teams of 1,000 people separately attacked the flanks of the Jingyue army on both sides.
Wen Lushan's expression was calm and unmoved by the enemy's might, and he coldly scanned the enemy's situation and grasped the enemy's strength and weakness.
Suddenly, the Northern Shu hussars rushed over from the flank, and the soldiers of the Jingyue army let out a shocking cheer, which turned out to be the archers arranged earlier.
The archers are hiding on the road that must be passed to lure the enemy over, late at night and covered by the shadow of the grass and trees, the Northern Shu hussars thought that they were a surprise attack and won the battle, where did they think that the Jingyue army had already made a deployment, and the black ones were really hit immediately, and the archers and arrows were released, and the soldiers in the front row of the Northern Shu hussars were lying on the ground with men and horses.
Originally, it was like a rainbow, but now it is a mess, the worst thing is that once the ambush army is panicked, some people are still fighting bravely, but some people have fled towards the woods on both sides, and the situation is even worse when the weapons are separated.
There were not many people who fled in a panic, and the Beishu hussars quickly regrouped their formation, and Wen Lushan shouted, "Bu Dun!" ”
The shields are all erected, and they are arranged into a seamless shield array to protect the bow and arrow team in the rear.
The regrouped Northern Shu hussars began to attack in an orderly manner, and the enemy cavalry led the whirlwind attack of war horses and spears, and from this situation, there was a possibility of reversing the defeat.
Of course, there is a premise for the Northern Shu hussars to reverse the defeat, that is, there are no reinforcements on the side of Wenlu Mountain, Lu Kai led the ambush soldiers nearby, and now he is still patient and has not killed it, so the formation is deliberately to make the enemy have the illusion, thinking that there is still a chance not to retreat immediately due to the setback of the offensive, so that the enemy can fall into a bitter battle, and then Lu Kai will lead the troops to kill, so that the enemy's military strength can be greatly weakened.
War horse impact is the most terrifying force on the battlefield, the shield array is set up but it is difficult for manpower to resist the power of the impact of the war horse, the enemy war horse can not help the impact of the shield array, the original impermeable wind shield array now produces cracks, the crack is opened, the North Shu hussars suddenly spear forward, the shield soldiers were stabbed down, but the first row of shield soldiers out of the first life, the second shield hand re-filled.
At this time, Wen Lushan drank loudly! "Shoot the arrows!" Six rows of archers, under the rotation of arrows, the Beishu hussars gradually moved away from the shield array, once they left the shield array fifty paces away, the chance to get close was really slim.
Rows of arrows departed from the string, and the rain of arrows was mercilessly thrown at the enemy, and when the archers in the last row shot the arrows on the bow, the archers in the front row loaded their arrows and fired another round of arrows.
The Northern Shu hussars fell and died.
The situation of the enemy cavalry rushing down from both sides was even worse, the arrows continued to attack, the front team kept retreating, and the people in the rear could not come forward, the two sides crowded each other to advance and retreat, and could only let the dense arrows take lives, and the tragedy was shocking.
Seeing that the situation was almost the same, Wen Lushan immediately shot a rocket, and the rocket exploded at high altitude.
The Northern Shu hussars saw that Wen Lushan was sending a signal, and knew that they would not speculate when they saw the situation, so they immediately blew the horn of retreat and prepared for the whole army to retreat.
Seeing that the signal in the sky exploded, Lu Kaideng's heart was shocked, and he led the troops to kill at the moment and destroy the enemy reasonably.
Zhang Chengye saw the signal in the distance and smiled slightly, "Their side is about to end, we can't lose to them!" ”
Wu Peng led the army to rush into the Fang Wenhou camp from the south, and Xu Mingshan said to Zhang Chengye, "The west is yours, go ahead"
