Chapter 27 Encounter an ambush

When the dawn was getting more and more oblique, the morning light came out, and a rush of footsteps sounded, and walked quickly towards the bedroom of the king of Nanning.

The visitor stayed at the door of King Nanning, and before he could knock on the door, he heard Ning Zhan's voice from inside, "Who is coming?" ”

The visitor tried his best to calm his breath, "Lord Ning, I am Zahand, the envoy who greeted you yesterday, and our second prince has something important to ask you to go over and discuss it immediately." ”

"Got it, you go first, I'll be right away."

"Yes." Zahande frowned at the door and turned away.

The king of Nanning breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and got dressed, called Bai Yetong and went to the main hall. Along the way, try to tune in to your breath and keep yourself in tip-top shape.

Above the main hall, the second prince Wanyan Honglie had been waiting for a long time, and the king of Nanning walked a courtesy first, and then said curiously, "Why don't you see Her Royal Highness the princess?" ”

Wanyan Honglie laughed, "My sister drank too much last night, and she probably hasn't woken up yet." ”

Ning Zhan said with a smile, "Really? I don't know why the second prince came to me and waited? ”

Wan Yan Honglie put away his smile and looked worried, "I received a report from a spy today, saying that a Mongolian army of 60,000 people is quietly approaching from the Gobi Desert, and our troops are stationed in the front, I wonder if General Ning can help?" ”

Ning Zhan faced each other with one hand, and there was no need to say much, "The second prince is polite, I came this time to relieve the crisis of the Jin Kingdom, and this team of people is handed over to me!" ”

Wan Yan Honglie patted the chair happily and laughed so much that he stood up, "That's really good, then we are waiting for the good news of the general's triumph!" ”

Immediately, Zakhand was arranged to be a guide to guide the Ningzhan army. Seeing Ning Zhan waving his cloak and leaving with Bai Yetong, Wan Yan Honglie showed a smile that had succeeded in his conspiracy.

When the Song army was stationed in the barracks, the king of Nanning found a reason to support Zahande, and quietly said to Mo Liubai, "I will lead 30,000 soldiers and horses when I go back, and you will take the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses to cover from the flank, I am afraid that this expedition will be fraudulent." ”

Bai Yetong was surprised, "Do you want 30,000 against 60,000?" Those Mongol troops weren't vegetarians! ”

King Nanning smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'm sure, but General Mo, why didn't I see you before?" He glanced back at Mo Liubai.

Unexpectedly, the King of Nanning suddenly asked, Mo Liubai's face changed instantly, and he didn't know how to answer, "I, I just transferred back from the frontier, and it's normal that adults haven't seen me." ”

Ning Zhan nodded and didn't ask more.

50,000 soldiers and horses packed up and set off. The Mongolian army is interspersed from the desert this time, and it is bound to be sleepy and lacking in horses, so it will seize the opportunity and do a good job of ambush in advance, and it will be fatal with one blow......

The sound of camel bells sounded like heaven in the ancient barren desert. Ning Zhan and Bai Yetong stepped into the sea of death with 50,000 elites.

The yellow sand is long, and there is no trace of greenery to be seen. As far as the eye can see, it is a scorching and dazzling light. Everyone was tired and unfocused, thirst and heat made them not want to speak, and every word they uttered was extremely exhausting.

The Song army had lived in the south for a long time and had never faced such an environment, and it had only been an hour since they entered the sea of death sand, but it seemed to have gone through a long journey.

Beyond a sand dune, it was still a desert as far as the eye could see. In the terrible silence, he suddenly heard the spies coming on horseback, reporting that there was something ahead.

Ning Zhan glanced at Mo Liubai, and the two rode forward, but it turned out that there were miscellaneous hoof prints on the floating sand in front of them. Along the way, I saw the first trace of human inhabitation.

Mo Liubai's face was solemn, "Looking at these footprints, I'm afraid there are quite a few people." ”

Ning Zhan nodded, "You act according to the plan immediately, bring 20,000 horses to meet me on the flank, and I'll continue to take a look!" ”

Mo Liubai nodded, returned to the front of the troops, and with a wave of his hand, the sergeants walked out of the group and followed him in the other direction.

Zahande rode his camel and leaned towards Ning Zhan, "My lord, what is General Mo doing?" ”

Ning Zhan yawned, "It's nothing, let him go and investigate first." By the way, you camels are pretty good. ”

Ning Zhan stared closely at the camel under Zahand's crotch, and the horses of the Song army walked very slowly in this Central Plains region.

Zahande shook his head and looked at Bai Xue, "I see that little general's white horse is extraordinary, ordinary horses will have difficulty walking when they reach this desert Gobi, but I see that the little general's white horse is like flying, which really surprises me." ”

Bai Yetong smiled slightly when he heard him praise his horse, and raised the reins noncommittally and continued to walk forward.

After another half an hour, the sun had turned westward, and it was not as hot as at noon. The army marched to a narrow area that resembled a bowl. Directly in front of it, there is a section of cliff, stretching for dozens of zhang long, standing alone and majestic. On either side are huge sand dunes that open like pockets.

Bai Yetong covered his eyes and saw that the cliffs were mostly composed of earth and rocks, and for some reason they could stand under the long-term erosion of quicksand. Everyone stood on the horse to watch, and was inexplicably moved for a while.

Zahande wiped his sweat and pointed ahead, "General, there is a cliff in front of you to enjoy the shade, so it is better to let the soldiers rest for a while." ”

Ning Zhan nodded, and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to reorganize and rest. Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned on the shade and began to sit down, taking turns to pass the water bladder, the plug was short of water, and each person drank a sip of water. When Bai Yetong handed the water bladder to Ning Zhan, he was leaning on a boulder protruding from the cliff, his body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't care about drinking water, and put his ear on the boulder to listen carefully.

Bai Yetong was stunned for a moment, although he didn't have the experience of fighting in Ningzhan, but he also heard a dull sound from behind the sand dunes on both sides, and it seemed like tens of thousands of war horses were emitted at the same time. Ning Zhan jumped up like a leopard and shouted, "Enemy attack!" Hurry up and get on the horse and set up! Everyone was the elite of the Song Dynasty army, and they were not slow to react, and immediately rode their horses in a line and listed the formation.

Could it be that there are enemies who have been deployed in the desert in advance to capture them? Bai Yetong began to panic a little in his heart, although he has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but he has never been on the battlefield, even so, he has heard of the fierceness of the nomads, if it is really tens of thousands of troops rushing to kill, it is not easy to resist.

King Nanning's face was not abnormal, he looked to the side, because it was an upward angle, the sand dunes looked unusually green, as if they were connected with the blue sky. At this time, you can only rely on the surprise attack arranged by yourself.

The first war horse poked out, and the knight was dressed in soft armor, but his figure was unusually slim. She stood at the top of the dune, and stood tall like an aspen at the mercy of the cloak. Bai Yetong's body was shocked, his eyesight was excellent, and he recognized this female knight at a glance as Wanyan Yusha!

Ning Zhan looked back again, and Zahande didn't know when he had slipped away. Damn, it's really a full set, but it's hard to say who killed the deer!

Behind the sand dunes on both sides, the knights kept galloping out, lined up in a black line, and it was difficult to count the number for a while. Just as everyone felt their scalps tingle, Wanyan Yusha blew a loud whistle. When the horses galloped, the sand and dust flew.

This black oppressive cavalry rushed to kill, like a black wave swept in, what is particularly terrifying is that under such a sprint, the cavalry formation actually has no signs of scattering!

The two armies faced each other, the battle formation condensed, the atmosphere was extremely depressed, and even the war horses stopped neighing. Wan Yan Yu Sha Lang said, "General Ning, as long as you are willing to restrain your hands, you will be captured." We promise not to hurt you! ”

The officers and men of the Song army were a little afraid, Ning Zhan knew that he had to grasp the initiative, otherwise he could only sit and wait for death, "Hmph! We are kind enough to help you get rid of trouble, but you secretly harm us, unkind and unjust, do you think we will still believe your nonsense?! ”

When a general heard this, he shouted loudly, "What the son of a son raised, our Song army will not surrender!" ”

The sergeants also began to shout, and Wanyan Yusha's face turned cold, and she pulled out a longbow from behind her back, opening the string like a full moon, and the arrow went like a meteor. An arrow shot the shouting general!

Bai Yetong's face changed, what a fast arrow!

Because of this arrow, Song Jun's momentum suddenly decreased!

Wanyan Yusha stopped talking nonsense, and waved her jade hand, "Shoot!" A dense rain of arrows shot at the cliff in a radius of several feet, and the fierce hiss pierced the dull silence of the desert. Facing the rain of arrows coming from the sky, Ning Zhan shouted, "Yu! The Song army immediately raised its shield, and the whole army gathered and turned into an iron shell.

Even so, there were still quite a few sergeants and horses injured. The Jin army diffused for a while and gradually stopped.

Bastard, Ning Zhan knew that he was a live target if he continued to be here, holding a dragon halberd in his hand, pointing at the enemy, "The forward battalion rushed up with me to disrupt the enemy's formation, and the troops behind covered with bows and arrows!" ”

Charging into battle in such a dense rain of arrows is definitely the end of nine deaths. But even if the situation came to this point, it could only be broken, and the sergeants of the forward battalion rushed out behind Ning Zhan with a certain heart of death.
