In the darkness of the night, a force of 1,500 men was hurrying north with torches, trying to surround the enemy before they could break through. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yes, in Su Zhihe's eyes, the enemy must have found themselves surrounded, so they wanted to break out from the north. And the enemy troops are all cavalry, and they are extremely fast, and if they don't rush over quickly, their efforts will be in vain tonight.

Therefore, under the urging of Su Zhihe, the soldiers cheered up and ran quickly, and naturally they didn't care about the formation or anything.

"Hurry up, hurry up, as long as we arrive in time to surround the enemy army, we can destroy the enemy army in one fell swoop and make a great achievement." Su Zhihe thought to himself.

However, as he desperately urged his soldiers to rush north, there was a sudden tremor on the ground, and then the sound of horses' hooves galloping quickly came, so clear in the night.

Su Zhihe was shocked, not only because he was surprised by the surprise attack, but also because the sound of horses' hooves at this time did not come from the encirclement he had imagined in front, but from behind them.

At this time, the soldiers were still marching rapidly to the north, when they were suddenly attacked by the enemy cavalry from the rear, and immediately became confused, and many soldiers began to flee immediately without waiting for the officer's order, which further caused the already somewhat chaotic army to become further confused.

The cavalry led by Hou Zan himself galloped across the country, and they quickly smashed into the chaotic enemy army with a momentum of ten thousand people, stirring up a bloody rain, so that the enemy soldiers at the front did not dare to resist at all, and turned around and fled.

At the beginning, in order to quickly rush to the north for reinforcements, Su Zhihe personally led the team in front of the army, but at this time, he was at the back of the army.

Standing on the edge of the battlefield, he saw the enemy's cavalry, under the command of the first general, lined up in a tight line, wantonly slaughtering and invincible. And the soldiers under his command have long been exhausted, and they have been killed one by one without the strength to fight back, and they have suffered heavy casualties.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, his subordinates were in the midst of a rapid march to the north, and they were caught off guard, and they had no time to form a formation at all, so they could only temporarily assemble and counterattack in a loose formation, which was naturally not the opponent of the Huainan cavalry.

Although he lacked experience in leading troops, he did not expect to be attacked by the enemy's cavalry, but at this time he also knew that the wanton had gone, and it was difficult to hold on to the other two armies to come to support, so he immediately ordered those soldiers who could still command to quickly withdraw from the battlefield, and took advantage of the fact that the enemy cavalry had not yet assaulted, and fled northward with all his might, wanting to join the other two Wuhu armies.

Hou Zan was leading the army to assault, and suddenly found that the enemy in front of him was fleeing north quickly, and he was ecstatic in his heart, and shouted: "Assault with all your might......"

Hou Zan knew that if Su Zhihe chose to stay and resist, it might take a lot of time to defeat them, and his cavalry would be very tired at that time, and he might not have the physical strength to attack the other two enemy forces; But Su Zhihe chose to flee at this time, but it gave them the opportunity to defeat their opponents easily.

Hearing Hou Zhan's wild shouts, the cavalry became even more excited, and one by one they rode like flying, constantly attacking forward, and the shouting of killing was earth-shattering for a while.

To the north, Shen Yingjie, the head of the infantry who formed a front and waited for the enemy's assault, was in confusion after seeing that the enemy had not launched an attack for a long time, and suddenly heard the sound of fighting in the south, and immediately knew that he was in the middle of the plan.

He is not a general like Guo Shicong and Su Zhihe who rely on relationships to be promoted, but has real combat exploits, and his ability to lead troops to fight is even higher than Guo's Shifu and his subordinates. Even if he knew that he had been tricked, he did not return with the whole army, but after leaving 500 people here, he led the rest of the people to meet the Suzhi River in the south.

The main force of 2,000 people led by Guo Shicong was rushing north at full speed, when he suddenly heard the sound of fighting from the south, and he hesitated.

"What's going on? Why are there enemy raids from both the south and the north? Which one should I save now? ”

He couldn't believe that the enemy army had a total of 1,000 cavalry, how could it be possible to attack two places at the same time, so one of them must be contained, and the other was real. However, he was a little hesitant to choose which way to rescue.

When Su Zhihe in the south escaped, he did not send out a rescue rocket that was attacked by the enemy, but the north sent a signal for help very early, so after thinking about it, Guo Shi felt that he still reinforces to the north according to the original plan, and only understood after knowing that he met Shen Yingjie on the way, and immediately led his troops to reinforce Su Zhihe.

This back and forth naturally delayed a lot of time, and when Guo Shicong led the army to arrive, he saw that the battlefield was already full of corpses, and there were cavalry galloping everywhere chasing and killing the defeated soldiers. When the cavalry saw the reinforcements arriving, they still did not stop pursuing, and did not leave until the two sides were fully contacted.

Guo Shicong was shocked and angry, and hurriedly ordered to gather the rout and rescue the wounded. After a while, after seeing that the Huainan cavalry had left, those defeated soldiers came out of the hiding place in twos and threes, including Su Zhihe, who had fled before.

"General Su, what the hell is going on? Fifteen hundred soldiers, how could they be completely routed by the enemy in less than a quarter of an hour? Guo Shicong's face turned pale, and he said loudly and angrily.

In this raid just now, only 500 of the 1,500 people in Su Zhihe's department were left, many of them were wounded, and the rest were either killed or fled at night and did not return.

"The last general didn't know why, when the last general saw the rocket launched by General Shen, he immediately led his troops north to reinforce, who knew that suddenly a large number ......of enemy cavalry rushed up from behind, and our army was caught off guard even if it collapsed," Su Zhihe said with some shame.

"General, in order not to be attacked by the enemy army in the north when he goes south, the last general left five hundred people there to break the rear, and now that the war in the south is certain, the last general requests that someone be sent to meet the five hundred soldiers immediately." At this time, Shen Yingjie hurriedly asked.

Guo Shicong had a headache, at this time he didn't dare to divide the troops anymore, and immediately led the whole army north, wanting to receive the 500 people who stayed there and broke off.

However, before they arrived, there was also a sound of fighting from the north, and Guo Shi suddenly sighed in his heart, knowing that something was wrong. Su Zhihe's troops had already lost 1,000 men, and if the 500 men left behind in the north were also lost, then instead of destroying the enemy's army, he would have lost 1,500 soldiers in his troops tonight, which would have been a bit heavy.

"Hopefully they'll resist a little longer until we arrive."

By the time Guo Shicong's subordinates arrived, the battle in the north had also ended, leaving them with only corpses everywhere and some seriously wounded soldiers moaning there, which made Guo Shicong and other soldiers feel a chill in their hearts.
