Chapter 155: Ambush on all sides
They chased them out for fifteen or six miles, but they still couldn't narrow the distance, and the lieutenant general felt that the situation was wrong.
Suddenly, an arrow slashed through the sky, and a group of cavalry of the state army appeared on the hills on both sides, and the number was also small, only a thousand horsemen.
However, the soldiers of Bingzhou had a crossbow in their hands, and the rain of arrows struck, causing great damage to the Xiliang army.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the adjutant general who led the team did not want to shrink his forces and prepared to retreat, just as they turned and retreated, the thousand horsemen who had fled in front before also turned around and killed them.
Although the Xiliang cavalry was also equipped with a small number of strong bows and crossbows, the range and accuracy were obviously inferior to those of the Bingzhou army, and the rate of fire could not be compared with the crossbows.
But Yan Xing, who was busy fighting the fire, saw that his lieutenant had not come back for a long time, and was complaining to himself, but found that another Bingzhou cavalry appeared on the edge of the battlefield, and he was still watching them fight the fire.
Yan Xing was angry, he left 4,000 people to continue to fight the fire, and he himself rushed to the Bingzhou army with 3,000 people.
When this group of Hezhou troops saw Yan Xing leading the army rushing up, they turned around and fled, just like before.
Yan Xing also made the same mistake, he felt that there were few people on the other side, and he had a chance to bully fewer people with more people, so he led his subordinates to chase hard.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer, Yan Xingxin said, I have to cut off a few more people's heads today, so that I can explain to Han Sui.
Just as he was chasing happily, suddenly an arrow rang out in the night sky.
There were three Bingzhou cavalry teams around Yan Xing, each team was also a thousand people, and the leader of one of the teams was Zhang Xiu.
When Yan Xing saw Zhang Xiu, he guessed if Lu Bu had also arrived nearby, he didn't dare to chase after him anymore, but directly turned around and planned to retreat, and he didn't even care about the scene.
Seeing that Yan Xing wanted to run, the army that had been luring him in front immediately turned around.
Zhang Xiu directly commanded three teams of 1,000 people to block Yan Xing's way, and also attacked from a distance with a bow and crossbow.
The Bingzhou army chose the way of long-range attack, and instead of fighting hard with the Xiliang army, they relied on the long-range advantage to eat them to the death.
Yan Xing finally escaped back to the place where he had just put out the fire, and there were only more than a thousand horsemen left by his side.
However, what made his eyes dark was that most of the 4,000 people who had stayed in place to fight the fire had already fallen on the ground and became dead.
When he inquired about the wounded soldiers, he learned that soon after he had gone, a detachment of cavalry, also a thousand men each, had come to engage them.
At the beginning, there were only three teams of Bingzhou cavalry to keep fighting with them, but after a while, three more teams of the Bingzhou army came, and the scene became 6,000 troops of the Bingzhou Army against 4,000 Xiliang Army.
The state army changed its fighting method and began to take the initiative to attack, they had too many means, and it was a repeating crossbow, a longbow, and a spear, especially some of them had a particularly strong archery skill, and they could hit every shot.
When the two sides fought in close combat, the personal ability and cooperation of the Bingzhou army were far above that of the Xiliang army, and the protective equipment on the Bingzhou army was of good quality, and it was difficult for the bows and arrows and swords and guns of the Xiliang army to hurt the opponent.
Han Sui's subordinates were far worse equipped than Li Dao and Guo Yan's troops, and the gap with the Bingzhou army was even greater, so it soon became a one-sided massacre.
So although the time was not very long, after Yan Xing came back, he could only see such a scene.
Yan Xing knew that the first 3,000 people he sent were probably the same as his own, and they had all been wiped out.
Yan Xingzheng was planning to take the remnants of his subordinates back to see Han Sui to ask for guilt, he was Han Sui's number one general, and he would never kill himself again, at most he would scold him.
The horns sounded around him, and the four teams of merger troops that had been entangled with him just now had already caught up, and one after another group of merge state troops gradually appeared in other directions.
Yan Xing counted, there were exactly ten thousand people, and together they were ten thousand, and he had originally exaggerated Lu Bu's number to Han Sui, but now he just helped him to lie.
Yan Xing only now found out that he had been lured by Lu Bu to disperse his forces and was defeated by each one.
He came out of the state army to ride, but the generals above were silver helmets and silver armor, which was very good-looking. Yan Xing naturally recognized this person, it was Ma Chao, it was really a narrow road!
Ma Chao was wearing the armor given to him by Lu Bu, and he felt good when he found out that he had run into Yan Xing again, so he hurriedly asked Lu Bu to fight and obtained approval.
Yan Xing saw that he was surrounded by heavy burdens and knew that the general trend had gone. Since Ma Chao has issued a challenge, then for the honor of the martial artist, he also has to rise to the occasion and accept the challenge.
Yan Xing cheered up and used all his skills, and the spear in his hand also flew up and down, fighting with Ma Chao.
Ma Chao also used his housekeeping skills, the speed of the gun is getting faster and faster, and the only onlookers are Zhang Xiu, experts like Lu Bu can see the routines of the two clearly, but the others are dazzled.
Lu Bu couldn't help but nod while watching, he didn't expect that there was such a figure in Han Sui's army, this Yan Xing's marksmanship is indeed very outstanding, it seems that there are still many talented people in real history who have not been able to leave their names in history.
After a long time, Yan Xing was injured after all, and his strength was not as good as before, and the speed of the gun became slower and slower.
After fighting for a few more rounds, Ma Chao saw the opportunity, took advantage of Yan Xing's withdrawal of the gun and stabbed again, took advantage of the situation, and stabbed Yan Xing in the chest with a shot, finally ending his life, maybe it was also a relief for Yan Xing.
When the side occupies the superior forces, it is also allowed to fight alone, which is the preferential treatment given by Lu Bu to Ma Chao, since Yan Xing is dead, and the ten thousand teams of the state army rush up, the remaining men and horses of the Xiliang army are only slightly resistant, and they will either die or surrender.
The 10,000 people who had wiped out Yan Xing had already brightened the sky.
According to Lu Bu's arrangement, the Bingzhou army still spread out in a formation of thousands of people, and most of the military flags surrounded the combined forces of Han Sui and Dong Huang from afar.
Han Sui still had 50,000 people left at this time, but the Ma Teng camp, which had besieged all night, was tired and sleepy.
Han Sui saw that Yan Xing had gone out to fight the fire for half a day, but the fire had not been extinguished, and no one had come back, but he heard bursts of shouts and killings, and he was also uneasy in his heart.
When the sky was bright, it was not Yan Xing who was waiting, but the Bingzhou army surrounded it, only to see that the Bingzhou army set up a very sparse formation, eight teams of cavalry, each team of about 1,000 people, a total of 8,000 cavalry, forming a loose semi-encirclement formation.
In the team, there are a lot of military flags, and I don't know what tricks Lu Bu is playing?
However, since the state army is here, and Yan Xing has not returned, I am afraid that there is more luck than luck.
To be able to wipe out Yan Xing's 10,000 cavalry so quickly, the state army should be more than just these soldiers and horses on the surface, right?
Although Han Sui was far away in Liangzhou, he had also heard of Lu Bu's prestige, and knew that Lu Bu liked to deceive and like to attack in a roundabout way, so Han Sui was very vigilant against Lu Bu.
