Chapter 184: Lanzhou Crisis (2)

"General!"

The shouts of the sentry behind him interrupted his thoughts,

"What?"

"General! Oh no, the Xia army suddenly appeared on the side of the mountain, intending to raid the camp! ”

"What?!"

Meng'an didn't expect that the Xia army did not retreat, but started a guerrilla fight with himself, and went straight to the camp around the hill in front of him.

After thinking for a moment, he ordered around him: "The commander of the thousand will lead people to copy the bread from the back of the mountain, and the other people will go back to defend directly with me, and I will definitely block this group of flies in the camp!" ”

"Yes!"

Perhaps because of the steppe people's innate talent for commanding cavalry, the three thousand men and horses were divided into two and surrounded in the direction of the camp like a large net..........

The Liao soldiers of the sentry cavalry camp were killed by the sudden Xia army and were a little frightened, and one by one they rode on war horses and fled to the camp, who knew that this had just entered the camp, and when he said that he could finally take a breath, he saw Zhao Baihu with the cavalry like Erlang God who could instantaneously rush out of the night again, and kill them with the steel gun in his hand,

The Liao soldiers, who had just escaped by luck, were now all planted in their pockets.

However, the purpose of "Yang Baihu" is not to chase and kill these remnants of the defeated generals, but to carry the burden of the army in front of him.

"Give me all of this!"

Zhao Baihu gave an order, and the torches drew a golden arc in the air, and threw them from their hands one by one towards these baggage, and in an instant, a fire several feet high was "soared".

Immediately after that, the cavalry of this Xia army seemed to have come to set fire, and they saw the baggage, the grain and grass, and the camp tents, and it didn't take long for this small half of the camp to be included in the sea of fire.

Zhao Baihu was about to let this fire disturb the camp of the Liao army, and when the cavalry in the camp reacted and pursued them, he turned his horse's head and walked away, but he found that such a big fire was lit in this camp, except for attracting a few Liao soldiers who carried buckets back and forth to fight the fire, the entire camp did not come out again!

Where did the army of the Liao people go?

At this moment, an ominous premonition arose in Zhao Baihu's heart, and the silence of the entire camp was a little weird, except for the crackling fire.

Could it be that Jerod Hugh hid all his men and horses in his tent? Wait for yourself to catch them all? Just for the sake of his own 800 centaurs?

"Lord Baihu, the Liao army has withdrawn!"

Before Zhao Baihu could figure it out, the cavalry beside him saw a large number of Liao cavalry rushing back towards them from the direction of the outpost camp, and hurriedly reminded him,

Zhao Baihu couldn't listen to this now, and the anxiety that was getting thicker and thicker was haunting his heart, and he had to figure out what was going on!

He didn't care about the cavalry around him who had been reminding him of the retreat, he pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, and the horse under his crotch was like a heart-to-heart, and he spread his four hooves and galloped towards the Chinese army camp, he couldn't find the camp tent one by one, so he put the target on the Chinese army tent........

That tiger-headed banner!

The flag is always a spiritual belief for people, just like on the battlefield sometimes the flag does not fall, and the soldiers can still fight to the death, the flag itself has no power, but the inspiration it brings to every heart is infinite energy. As the so-called cutting the general and capturing the flag, it is the most fatal blow to the morale of the enemy, if it is really a Liao soldier in the camp tent, he will never let him cut down the handsome flag.

Zhao Baihu, who was galloping, picked up the spear in his hand, slowly detached his feet from the stirrups, held the horse's back with one hand, and stood up on the galloping horse.

The cold wind in his ears whistled like a razor, but his face was full of blood red at this time, but he could no longer feel any cold, and his eyes swept to the surrounding camp tents from time to time, always ready to deal with the danger of possible ambush troops.

Ten steps

Five steps

Kill........!

The two hands dexterously swept the barrel of the gun, so that the tip of the gun was sharp and accurate to cut through the flagpole of the handsome flag,

"Huh!"

The tiger-headed banner on the big tent of the Chinese army fell in response, and was firmly grasped by Zhao Baihu in his hand, and then raised high, hunting and hunting along the cold wind brought up by the galloping horse!

however

Until he completed the entire process of cutting down the banner like a cloud, not a single soldier came out to stop him.

Zhao Baihu continued to use the tip of the flag in his hand to open the curtain of the Chinese army's big tent,

Sure enough, there was no one!

There was no trace of Yeluxiu in this big camp, even if there was not even a single swaying figure in the surrounding camps, as if there were only a few thousands of soldiers and horses in this whole camp who came out of the camp to pursue them.

Something bad! The Liao people are not withdrawing their troops at all! They've been tricked!

This is Zhao Baihu at this time in his mind as if these words were reflected at a glance, although he didn't know what Yelu Xiuke's specific idea was, but he knew that the most important thing now was to immediately try to inform the old governor Sun Dezhang to cancel the pursuit plan!

But

Meng'an and the retreating Liao army had already killed in front of the camp gate.

Zhao Baihu hurriedly reined in the horse's reins, turned the horse's head, and pointed forward with the handsome flag he had just captured in his hand in the direction they came from on the side of the mountain, "Go back the same way!" Fall back! ”

The hundreds of cavalry in the camp threw away the last torches in their hands after receiving the order, picked up the saber at their waist again, turned their horses and rushed back.

But

Ordered to go around the hills, the commander with the cavalry following them was already on the side of the mountain, blocking their way back.

Zhao Baihu, who was on the horse, didn't mean to stop, and pulled out the saber on his waist with a "Qiang" sound, and pointed at the Liao army in front of him:

"Brothers, kill it!"

Now they are almost under heavy encirclement, even if they are hundreds of cavalry left here, they have to desperately run out to Lanzhou to report the mutiny, the Liao soldiers blocked by the side of this mountain seem to be thousands of people, and they can break out of the encirclement in one go, which is better than the black pressure in front of the camp.

The cavalry of the Xia army gradually formed an arrow-like formation in the gallop, rushing towards the Liao army in front, as if they wanted to use this sharp blade to tear apart all the enemies who dared to block.

But it is obvious that the Liao army is much stronger than they imagined, and the Liao soldiers who re-stepped on their horses are simply different from the sentinels who were frightened and fled in all directions in the outpost camp just now.

No matter what the reason was for the misunderstanding of these Xia troops before, now they will use the scimitar in their hands to clarify, about the cavalry! The Liao army really didn't fear anyone!

In fact, in the camp of the Liao people, there were only 3,000 cavalry left by Yeluxiuke, led by a Meng'an.

Jeruschuke left an order before leaving, and began to prepare for the camp at nightfall, dismantling the tents, sorting out the baggage, and all men mounted their swords, but only to prepare for the camp, and never to leave the camp for half a step.

Of course, this Meng'an didn't understand what he meant, and he didn't know why when he heard it, but since it was His Royal Highness's military order, he just did it.

Since he couldn't leave the camp, and Yelu Xiuke specially instructed him not to hurry up and prepare slowly, Na Meng'an was naturally not in a hurry, and waited until nightfall to slowly prepare for the camp, and sent out one or two hundred sergeants to sort out the baggage, and the rest of the men and horses were all ready to stand by.

In addition, Yeluxiuke also specially left him two orders, if the Xia army came to attack, at most he was only allowed to chase to the side of the stream, that is, the location of the outpost camp; If the Xia army invades the camp, no matter how many people there are, not a single bird can be released!

He didn't know who His Highness Yelu's "if someone attacked at night" meant by the night attack, Xia Jun? They cowered in Lanzhou City to take care of themselves, and they dared to come out to attack at night?

But soon, Zhao Baihu's cavalry told him why Yelu Xiu was called the little prince, and he was just a fierce man.

When the Xia army attacked the outpost camp in waves, this Meng'an planned to surround them, so Zhao Baihu and they saw a large number of cavalry moving towards their flanks instead of rushing out directly.

It's just that they are small in number so they are very flexible, and they are not surrounded.

But this time, Zhao Baihu plunged back into this pocket again, and Meng'an would never let them have any hope of escaping again.

The Liao soldiers under the commander of the thousand commanders are like a big net with tenacity, no matter how hard the cavalry behind Zhao Baihu leads them to attack in turn, they can't break through the Liao defense line on the side of the mountain, but the Liao army led by Meng An behind him from the battalion is getting closer and closer.

Zhao Baihu's heart was also anxious, the steel gun in his hand was stabbed left and right, and the blood stains on the bright silver gun shaft had not been done at all, and every time he stabbed it out and pulled it back, it could bring up a blood mist, but it seemed that the Liao soldiers who only had a thousand people could not be killed, and the three layers inside and the three layers outside the three layers were still blocking their way.

Soon, Meng'an behind him had already led the army to kill, and now Zhao Baihu was sandwiched in the middle by the three thousand Khitan cavalry like a sandwiched meal, killing and fighting together.

"Kill!"

The commander babbled strangely, holding the mace in his hand and smashed it towards Zhao Baihu, who was holding the banner as a gunman.

That Zhao Baihu didn't notice him at all, he just stabbed the tip of the chess into the heart of the Liao people in front of him, and when he saw the mace that he was struggling to smash, it was too late to pull out the chess, and he could only cross the steel knife in his right hand in front of him.

"Boom!"

The left hand that was originally used lacked a bit of strength, and the Kankan reacted, and the mace in his hand was directly smashed on the shoulder just now, and the wide and blunt back of the knife was actually a raw transparent armor and fell into the flesh!

The commander of the thousand is not only very powerful, but the weapon in his hand is also skillful, and he saw that his wrist was flipped flexibly, and the mace in his hand was turned to the left, and it was cut sideways according to Zhao Baihu's head.

Can this spiky iron guy still be alive if he gets his head?

Rao is Zhao Baihu reacted quickly, taking advantage of the moment when the mace turned, he dodged the war horse sideways, but he took pity on this green horse that had rolled three times with his blood and fire, and was smashed by this huge force and broke his ribs, his ears and nose spurted blood, and he died on the spot wailing.

The entire battlefield was not Zhao Baihu's place, and almost everyone of the hundreds of cavalry fell into a bitter battle.

When Zhao Baihu brought the Xia army cavalry to come, he made preparations for attacking the camp, so he had sabers in his hands, but the Khitan cavalry carried a steel gun in his hand, how could he still get benefits under the collision of these two?

It didn't take long for these more than 800 people to be besieged and killed, and the Liao soldiers who were caught between the two sides didn't even let them run out of the messenger.

Seeing that the Xia army basically had dozens of horsemen led by the young general, Meng An raised his hand and waved forward, commanding all the men and horses to clear the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible.

I have already calculated in my heart that when I see Yelu Huke, I can raise my eyebrows and tell him that according to His Highness Yelu's orders, all the night attack Xia army has been wiped out by him!

"General!"

A Liao soldier who looked like a sentry rode from outside the camp to Meng'an's horse,

"General, there are a large number of Xia troops in the east, and they are coming towards us!"

Meng An, who was still complacent just now, couldn't help frowning when he said this, and said in his heart, Is there any reinforcement behind this Xia army?

"How many people came?"

"It's too dark to see clearly, and it must be a rough estimate that there must be tens of thousands of horses?"

"Tens of thousands?!"

Meng'an didn't frown now, and almost let this sentry startle him off his horse.

He hurried his horse to the camp and looked in the direction of the east.

Under the thick night, although they couldn't see how many dark shadows were moving, they could clearly see that the torches in their hands almost lit up half of the sky!

"Yes......... It's the main force of the Xia Army! ”
