After nightfall, Zhao Junsheng thought about it for an hour, and when it was time to arrive, he had a bad premonition, but he couldn't say it, only that it was possible for the Rouran people to launch a surprise attack tonight.

"Someone, give the order, the whole army will move out, and quickly retreat to the south!"

Zhao Junsheng's order was immediately carried out, and the soldiers and horses of all armies quickly withdrew with him under the command of the generals, and galloped towards the south.

Two hours later, at the beginning of the ugly time, the general Abu Ganyuan first led 7,000 cavalry to rush into the camp of the cadres, but found that the camp of the cadres was empty.

Soon after, General Rouran and the Bald Deer Puppet each brought 10,000 cavalry to kill, and the difference between them was no more than two moments.

If Zhao Junsheng did not withdraw with his men and horses, as long as Abu Ganyuan could support two moments, the arrival of the Bodu and Bald Deer puppets would resolve the crisis and besiege the cadres from three sides.

"Li-" The bald deer puppet stopped holding his horse, and when he saw that the camp of the cadres was brightly lit and crowded, and there seemed to be no fight, he immediately shouted: "What's the matter?" Someone, send someone to take a look! ”

The person who was sent soon came back and reported: "General, the main force of the cadre army has withdrawn, and General Abu Ganyuan and General Bendu have arrived one after another, and they have all pounced!" ”

The bald deer puppet couldn't help but scold: "These Qianguo people are so cunning, it's been so many days, we haven't even touched a single hair of them!" Come on, send someone to find out the movement of the main force of the cadre army! In addition, send someone to report to the khan that the main force of the cadre army has been withdrawn! ”

······

In the night, a large group of cavalry was marching quickly, and this cavalry was the men and horses led by Xue Andu and Su Ji.

In the evening, the scouts they sent detected that the Rouran army was scattered into five troops and horses from all directions in the direction of the cadre camp, and Xue Andu and Su Ji knew that the Rouran people planned to besiege the main force of the Western Route Army without thinking.

They don't know the news, now that they know the news, he can't sit back and watch the main force of the Western Route Army being besieged by the Rouran people, the most important thing is that the emperor Zhao Junsheng is there, and the emperor must not have an accident.

Xue An, who was riding on horseback, had been jolting for more than three hours, he rubbed his face and asked the guards beside him, "What time is it?" ”

"General, it should have passed the hour!" The guard replied.

"Go and call Su Ji!"

"No!"

Soon Su Ji hit the horse and ran over and hugged his fists and said, "General? ”

Xue Andu asked, "How far is it from the big camp?" ”

"There should be about thirty miles left!"

Xue Andu was very anxious, he didn't know if Zhao Junsheng could withstand the siege of the Rouran army, Zhao Junsheng only had 30,000 horses in his hands, and the total number of people and horses in the Rouran army was nearly 60,000, he only hoped that if Zhao Junsheng's 30,000 horses could hold out for an hour after being besieged, he would have enough time to rush over to the rescue.

"Order all the units of the army to speed up the march!"

Xue Andu's order made Su Ji anxious, and he said: "General, according to the normal march, this speed is already the highest speed, we are still thirty miles away from the camp, once the current speed is exceeded, even if we reach the battlefield, the war horse is afraid that it will no longer have the strength to charge again!" ”

Xue Andu sighed: "I'm anxious, I don't know if Your Majesty can hold on to them, now I can't manage so much, move forward as fast as possible, and keep changing horses halfway, fast!" ”

"No!"

Su Ji agreed, but before he could convey the order, a large number of horses' hooves and shouts of killing suddenly came from a few miles away on both sides of the army: "Boom······ Kill-kill-"

The cadres and soldiers turned their heads left and right to look, and countless torches suddenly lit up a few miles on the left and right sides, and a large number of horses' hooves and shouts of killing came over.

The faces of all the cadres and generals changed greatly, "It's not good, it's a trick!" Xue An screamed, his brain was running at high speed, and he immediately shouted: "Don't panic! Su Ji, quickly give the order with a torch, order the front of the army to attack on the left, and the rear of the army to meet on the right, you must resist me! ”

"No!" After Su Ji agreed, he immediately ordered the herald to use torches to signal the order.

Torch summons can be used to avoid the chaotic situation at night, and the flagless heralds are easily seen by the generals in order to avoid being discovered by enemy sentinels during the march of the army.

Fortunately, the order was conveyed in time, and the soldiers and horses in the front and rear of the army immediately attacked to the left or right under the command of their respective generals, but the cadres were suddenly ambushed, and most of the soldiers and generals were panicked, the tactical actions were not in place, the tactical execution was not thorough, and the formation of the team was also loose.

Xue An is worthy of being an experienced veteran, and when he was ambushed at the speed of the march, he immediately thought of giving full play to the advantage of the long snake formation, attacking with the cavalry at the head and tail to block the enemy's offensive.

But the people of Rouran are not all people who do not understand the art of war, and on the hill in the distance, Toga Zhen and a cadre of ministers and generals are observing the situation on the battlefield.

General Kuren Zhi said: "Khan, it seems that this cadre army general still has a few brushes, the reaction is calm and fast, they dispatched the first and last two cavalry, if you want to defeat them, you must contain the first and last two cavalry, otherwise once they roll horizontally, all the men and horses we rushed over from both sides will be finished, wait to contain the first and last two dry cavalry, and then attack his Chinese army with heavy troops!" ”

Tuga Zhen immediately ordered: "Send someone to tell Uji and Hanba that they try their best to hold back the two cavalry at the head and tail of the Qianjun!" Ku Renzhi, you lead the troops to attack the enemy's Chinese army! ”

"Yes, Khan!"

The Rouran people used the right method to deal with the one-word long snake formation, which was like tying up a pair of arms of Xue Andu's army, no matter how the two cavalry at the head and tail of the cadre army rushed to kill, they could never get rid of the entanglement of the Rouran people, and they could not complete the one-word long snake formation tactics that rolled horizontally.

The other Rouran troops who rushed over from both flanks kept rushing towards the Qianjun army, even famous generals like Xue Andu were helpless at this time, the soldiers were already afraid, where could they still have the heart to engage the enemy when they were flanked on both sides? Once you camp on the left, you have to worry about the back being hit by the enemy.

"U-turn, withdraw-" Xue Andu gritted his teeth and ordered, he had to abandon the car to protect the handsome.

The remaining cadres under the leadership of Xue Andu turned around and fled in the direction they came, and Su Ji shouted: "General, how can you retreat to the rear?" Thirty miles ahead is the big camp of our army, and if you want to withdraw, you should also withdraw to the big camp! ”

Xue Andu shouted while beating his horse and galloping: "Since the Rouran people have already set up an ambush here, it means that there is an accident on the side of the camp, or there are more ambushes ahead, and we will only die faster if we rush forward!" ”

Su Ji didn't quite agree with Xue Andu's opinion, since the Rouran people had already set up an ambush, how could they not cut off the back road of the cadres?

The army has been completely chaotic, and it is no longer possible to organize people to fight back at this time, at this point, even if the gods descend to earth, it is difficult to recover the defeat, and now Su Ji can only hope that Xue Andu has made the right bet.

But the reality is that often the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!

Within two minutes of escaping, a large number of torches appeared in front of them again, and countless Rouran people rushed towards this side with torches and scimitars.

When Su Ji and Xue An both saw this scene, their hearts sank, "It's over!" ”

Xue An knew that it was impossible to turn around and go back at this time, since he was wrong, he could only make a mistake to the end, and if he rushed forward, there might be a glimmer of hope to break through the encirclement, but once he turned around at this time, it would really be ten deaths!

"Soldiers, if you want to rush forward with me alive, no matter how many Rouran people are in front of you, rush to the end! It doesn't matter who has the opportunity, he must escape out, find the main force of our army, and report the situation here to the emperor! Don't save anyone, whether you can escape or not, everything is left to fate! ”

Su Ji shouted: "General, we will protect you and kill you together!" Brothers, come close to me, lean over and rush out with me! ”

Under Su Ji's incessant loud shouting, there were constantly cadres and cavalry leaning towards this side, and soon more than 1,000 horsemen were gathered around him, and the formation was close.

At this moment, there was a sudden "whoosh" ······in the sky sounds.

"Bad ·······" Before Su Ji's voice fell, a large number of arrows rained down, and the cavalry of the cadre army, which was rapidly charging and in dense formation, kept being shot off their horses.

With a "boom", Xue Andu's mount was hit by an arrow, and he fell to the ground with a loud sound, and his whole body fell to the ground.

"General!" Su Ji shouted in a hurry, he wanted to stop his horse, but reality did not allow it at all, the cavalry around him was too dense, and once he forcibly stopped, he would immediately be knocked away by the cavalry behind.

Xue Andu's roar came from behind: "Su Ji, now the command of the army is in your hands, take the soldiers to fight a bloody way and rush out, don't worry about me!" ”

Su Ji turned his head to look behind him, but he only saw the cavalry of the cadre army following him closely, and Xue Andu was no longer visible.

Su Ji gritted his teeth, looked ahead, and shouted: "Brothers, move closer to me, move closer again, pick up your spears, rush!" ”

"Rush—" The other cavalry officers were infected by him, and all of them roared, and the spears in their hands tightened.

"Puff puff······ Boom ······" The two sides finally collided together, and people on both sides kept being killed and flying, and some were stabbed to death with spears.

The dense formation of the cadres and the strong defense of the equipment played a role at this time, and the loose formation of the Rouran cavalry was rushed through a wide passage, and the surrounded cavalry rushed towards the gap in the encirclement like a flood.

The encirclement of the Rouran people was broken and broken, and a large number of cavalry of the cadre army followed Su Ji and rushed forward, and Ku Renzhi, who led the troops to intercept, was stabbed in the shoulder by Su Ji with a shot, and almost died.

Xue Andu, who was seriously wounded, was surrounded by the Rouran army with more than 4,000 people, and they were still desperately resisting.
