Chapter 207: The Fish Section
Chapter 207: The Fish Section
Outside the city of Lanzhou
These sturdy knights behind the former army Meng'an Erjin were ordered by General Han to enter Lanzhou and take the Qingcheng Palace directly after General Tuoba's 3,000 vanguard army captured the west gate of Lanzhou.
Holding a grass stalk that I don't know where it came from in this winter, I chewed it in my mouth, and the four hooves that walked slowly in the dark night, carrying a pair of small eyes that were slit, stared closely at the tall city of Lanzhou City, which had been hazy and shadowy in front of Lanzhou.
He raised his head and looked at the moonlight, which was hidden behind the dark clouds as if it had some secret, and looked at this scene, it must have arrived at the time agreed in the camp before,
Although it was dark now, he couldn't see the appearance of the Lanzhou City Gate clearly, but he also thought of the same question as General Tuoba in his mind,
This place is also quiet.........
Could it be that the vanguard force moved so fast that it had safely controlled the west gate of the city and suppressed all the rescue Xia troops?
I don't know if it's because of the different mission goals, this Erjin was more vigilant than the Tuoba general, he raised his right hand high in a fist, and let the commander with a torch behind him signal the whole army to stop advancing,
More than 5,000 horses, each holding a meniscus saber in their hands, stood silently in the darkness.
"Go! When I went up and looked at the situation, it didn't seem quite right. ”
A knight beside him led him away, and quickly disappeared into the night before his eyes,
merely
The cavalryman was like a thin white feather thrown into a pool of thick ink, and there was no sound in an instant, and he stood on his horse for a long time, but did not see the cavalry return.
Xiao Erjin is also a well-known bold man in the tribe who dares to fight and kill, but when he encounters this strange situation with no head and tail, he also squeezes the eyebrows that are not very thick in the first place.
"What's going on........ Where is he? ”
"General, don't you already enter the city, right? Why don't we lean back and take a look? ”
Rao is eyes were round and he didn't let his eyes shoot through the night, the importance of this battle he could read from the expressions of the queen mother and the generalissimo, although things were a little wrong, but in the absence of a certain change, he didn't dare to order a retreat without authorization,
"You guys, come with me."
"Yes!"
This rough man's heart and eyes were as thin as the tip of a needle, and he clicked on the dozen or so riders behind him and touched towards the city of Lanzhou.
In fact, their location is very close to Lanzhou, and they have seen the big open city gate in Lanzhou after riding a few steps, but it is just as quiet, there is no sound, only a few banners of the Liao army on the head of the city are hunting.
"This flag is theirs, but it's ......."
After thinking about it, he decided to turn his head and glance at the soldiers behind him.
The soldier took a torch and rode forward, and almost when he rode to the foot of Lanzhou City, he raised the torch in his right hand high and waved it three times at the figure on the city wall.
The big banner on the city wall was Zhao Lingfeng advocated to replace it, he originally planned to suppress Jiang Shang's soldiers and horses first, not to go out of the city, to trick this wave of people and horses in, and to draw a gourd like the first wave of Liao soldiers rushing in to kill him cleanly.
But now it seems that this group of Liao troops is cautious, and the empty city gate has not been able to deceive them, so they only sent a dozen horsemen to investigate the truth, and what he didn't expect the most was that there was a secret agreement between the two waves of Liao army.
"This Liao person is cautious enough, and he already knew that he had left a few commanders just now."
Jiang Yun behind him stared at a few shadows under the city, shook his head and said: "It's useless, if you catch it alive, you won't necessarily help us, if it's not my race, its heart will be different, forget it, tell General Jiang to kill it." ”
"Don't!"
Liu Biao, who was hiding behind the battlements, interjected, "Don't, I know the code, let me come." ”
Of course he was unwilling, and finally let An Yi be released to spread joy, how could he easily let go of the opportunity to encircle and annihilate the 5,000 Liao army?
Liu Biao, this kid, couldn't help but snatch a torch from a sergeant next to him, and the people in the city who looked like him also waved it three times.
Jiang Yun and Zhao Lingfeng stared at each other, and they looked towards the city, and saw that the black shadow riding in front seemed to have received a code, and it actually ........
I actually turned around and hit the horse back!
"Really?"
"You........ How do you know? ”
Looking at the surprised look on the faces of these two people, Liu Biao was even more overjoyed, and said proudly while patting his chest: "I'll teach you, these codes are the same, either three times or three .........."
"Whoosh!"
Before Liu Biao finished speaking, he heard the sound of a breaking wind in his ears, and saw a white feather arrow with a cold light flying towards his head!
Thanks to Zhao Lingfeng on the side, he reacted quickly, and pulled him back with the golden ring holding the beast head on Liu Biao's Ao Long Treasure Armor shoulder.
Liu Biao's shoulders suddenly struggled, and his body naturally leaned back, and the torch he was holding just now in his hand involuntarily deviated, just blocking the path of the cold arrow.
The cracked wooden pole that had been grilled by the flame was smashed by this sharp arrow at once, and the tip of the arrow was pierced with fine wood chips that were still burning, and a tail light was nailed straight to the lacquered wooden pillar of the city gate tower behind him!
All of this happened almost between lightning and flint, if it weren't for Zhao Lingfeng's quick eyes on the side, it might be Liu Biao's head that was nailed to the city gate.
"The ........ of this dog day"
Liu Biao supported the ground with both hands, still looking at the arrow nailed to the lacquered wooden pillar, and the tip of the arrow was still stubbornly burning with flames.
Zhao Lingfeng was also in a hurry, and he was also taken to the ground with himself, and when he saw that Liu Biao could still scold people, he knew that he was fine, and helped him to tease him: "I said General Liu, other people's code is to enter the door, and your code is to cross the bridge?" ”
"What bridge to cross?"
"Naho Bridge!"
Liu Biao, who quickly relieved himself, stood up from the ground in a hurry, pointed to the black shadow under the city and scolded: "Ge Laozi! The turtle son waits for Lao Tzu! ”
After speaking, he turned around and hurriedly ran to the city, and ran to Jiang Shangjun, who was waiting for Zhao Lingfeng's news.
Of course, the people under the city knew that there had been changes in the city, so they hurriedly turned around and turned around with the dozen or so horsemen and turned back towards the army.
As soon as he turned around and didn't take a few steps, the originally quiet city gate cave erupted like a tide of shouting and killing, Jiang Shang, who had been on standby for a long time, began to command the green battalion soldiers and horses to rush out, and the cavalry that was the first to attack was Liu Biao, who had just suffered the "humiliation of one arrow", bared his teeth and grimacing, raised his saber high and killed the Liao army.
Xiao Erjin didn't dare to slack off at all, ran all the way to the front of the army, and then pointed to the two heralds and hurriedly ordered: "Quick! Go tell General Han! Lanzhou City has changed, and General Tuoba has fallen inside! Let him retreat quickly! ”
However, Xiao Erjin turned his head to look at the Xia army who followed him to kill the general, and with a slight turn of his mind, he felt that he could not retreat like this, although he was faster than the Xia army's horse, but this way to chase the past had to collide with General Han's army, could it be difficult to bring this wave of Xia army all the way to the camp?
Thinking of this, fortunately, he turned his heart sideways, and pulled out the scimitar on his waist with a "Qiang", and wanted to take the men and horses behind him to fight against this wave of Xia army, at least to give General Han some time to react.
This is in Liu Biao's arms, and he originally wanted to chase you and couldn't catch up, but now it's good that he doesn't run.
He took the group of cavalry from Long'an Mansion behind him and rushed towards the Liao army, I am afraid that he is not going to fight to the death with Xiao'erjin.......
Northwest of Lanzhou City
General Han, who was holding 50,000 horses in his hand, also quickly received the news of the change, and after confirming it repeatedly, he ordered the whole army to retreat, and at the same time immediately sent people back to the generalissimo and the queen mother.
His position is not the Xia army's sphere of influence, at most, it can be regarded as the search field of the sentry horse, so General Han plans to retreat, but he is not as panicked as Xiao Er Jin, after all, it is because Liu Biaoming's swaying saber is about to cut in front of his eyes.
But this pair of eyes in the dark didn't intend to let them withdraw so gracefully, and Liao Ying, who was ordered to set up an ambush again, decided to drive this wave of Liao troops to his expected location again.
"Whoosh! Boom! ”
The cloud-piercing arrow specially made for him by Jin Mingyin in Liao Ying's hand was extraordinarily loud, and the beam of light that rushed into the air was also extraordinarily dazzling.
"Enemy attack!"
At this time, General Han's eyes can be said to be full of surprise, not to mention why the Xia army came here, it was obviously a surprise attack on their side, but first it was reported that in addition to the changes in Lanzhou City, General Tuoba's life and death were unknown, and then he was ambushed by the Xia army, no matter how he looked at it, it looked like someone else was attacking them, he felt that this was like a net that the Xia army had laid a long time ago, waiting for him to drill.
"Withdraw! The whole army retreated! ”
Although Liao Ying greeted the arrow first, after all, General Han also had 50,000 horses in his hands, even if a rain of arrows came down like a drum, they fortified and retreated in an orderly manner, and the Xia army really couldn't do anything to themselves.
At least that's what General Han thinks in his own heart now.
However, Liao Ying, the commander of the Shaanxi Dynasty, was also a well-known bearded general in the Great Xia Dynasty, experienced in a hundred battles and old bearers, although it was not said that he was full of wisdom, but it was really not difficult to fight a dozen of this tailwind battle.
It's just that most of this northwest is a gentle and vast area, not as high as the mountains and mountains in Shu, just like a glimmer of heaven and that kind of place, as long as you might as well be right, it is really a husband and a man.
The northwest is different, Liao Ying is a small 50,000 horses in his hands, and the Liao people are comparable, if he really forces this Han general to be in a hurry, there will really be nothing to do about them for a while.
So Liao Ying thought of a trick and gave this trick a name called "Fish Duaner",
It means that at the beginning, he clearly told the Liao army that there was an ambush, forcing the Liao people to retreat, and leading people to force them up, but he didn't chase them endlessly, just bitten them.
Every time a distance passes, a small number of cavalry ambushed on both sides will be killed with great momentum, in the shape of scissors, to "cut" the last part of the Liao army.
Liao Ying repeatedly told them that the "cut" must be done in moderation, and they must not be greedy, and every time the cavalry kills out, it is enough to leave them with three or five hundred people, and then follow the main force behind the Liao people to surround the "small fish tail" that is "cut"! Eat! And then the cycle repeats, the front stays, the back kills,
It's just that the number of people left is the key, if you keep more, it will delay the time for the main force to kill, once the main force can't bite the Liao people tightly, then the next ambush "scissors" will not achieve the effect of encirclement and strangulation.
This wave of Liao people is like a big fish, a "small tail" left by the "scissors" arranged by the Xia military first, and at that time, the cavalry of the Xia army rushed out from time to time and killed the sky, so that General Han was a soldier, and he couldn't take care of the small number of people left behind, because as the main general, he must first take care of the overall situation.
This also led to Liao Ying following behind like a harvester, encroaching on the 50,000 Liao troops step by step........
