Section 7 Overnight Attack (Part II)

Zhao Jin ran on foot in the dark night, anxiously rushing to the road with more than 40,000 thief soldiers around him, panting in the direction of Luhun Mountain. Due to the continuous rapid march, many of the rogue soldiers were exhausted, and many even quietly abandoned their burdens on the side of the road, including some weapons and equipment.

Zhao Jin saw all this, but he didn't step forward to stop it, after all, hurrying to Luhun Mountain is the first priority at present, and the others are all some details. After running for a while, Zhao Jin stood on the side of the road with difficulty, leaning on the spear in his hand and panting heavily, and then shouted loudly: "Quick! Faster! Taking advantage of the fact that the official army iron cavalry has been transferred, let's rush to Luhun Mountain as soon as possible to support! ”

Under Zhao Jin's constant urging, the army of thieves sped up again, and then the ranks of more than 40,000 thief soldiers stretching for miles became even more chaotic and loose, and many soldiers who were physically exhausted were left behind.

Suddenly, there was a dull noise from the rear of the army of thieves, and it grew louder and louder, gradually forming a deafening loud noise.

Zhao Jin looked back at the dark night behind him in horror, his face was full of despair, almost as if he was about to cry, and muttered, "Why! Haven't the officers and soldiers already left! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jin heard a shocking noise coming from the rear of the army, followed by the shouts and cries of the rogue soldiers.

"Stand in place! Enemy attack! Formation! Zhao Jin shouted heartbreakingly, but with Zhao Jin's shouting, fear had spread among the army of thieves, and everyone looked behind them in fear, for fear of killing something terrible from the boundless night. The thief soldiers ran around amid Zhao Jin's shouts, and after half a pillar of incense, there was still no decent formation.

Zhao Jin couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this, and was shouting loudly to beckon his subordinates to immediately line up to meet the enemy, but suddenly heard a loud sound of iron cavalry charging in front of the army. Zhao Jin wanted to cry and look ahead without tears, only to see a fierce general wielding a steel spear to lead the iron cavalry army to kill, the vanguard of the thief army was almost without any resistance was hit by the charging iron cavalry and turned over, and the entire team collapsed almost in an instant.

Zhao Jin suddenly let out a scream, picked up the spear and rushed forward, and constantly beckoned the surrounding thieves to charge to meet the enemy, and gradually gathered hundreds of thief soldiers in Zhao Jin's shouting, forming a loose formation roughly.

Liu Yunwei was killing a thief soldier with one shot, and then threw the thief soldier into the crowd with a wave of his strength, and instantly knocked the thief down.

"Kill! Speed up! Liu Yunwei roared angrily, rushing to the front of the cavalry formation like a bloodthirsty lion, constantly reaping the lives of the thief soldiers; And the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry behind Liu Yunwei was also fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and the army of thieves along the way was blocking the eyes, and the entire team of thieves was like a wooden pole that was split vertically by a giant axe, and was immediately torn apart by the Dragon Xiang Iron Cavalry.

Liu Yunwei was overjoyed when he saw that the battle situation was very good, and he was about to loudly encourage the soldiers to increase their strength and completely defeat the thieves, when he suddenly saw hundreds of thieves rushing out in front of him, and the first one was still holding a flag and shouting loudly. Seeing this, Liu Yunwei shouted: "Good come! Kill! Then he led the dragon to rush directly with the iron horse.

The two sides fought together in an instant, Liu Yunwei rushed into the formation of hundreds of thieves first, the steel gun in his hand had turned into a full moon, and countless spear flowers were scattered around, killing the surrounding thieves on the spot; And the Longxiang Iron Cavalry soldiers were also slaughtering in all directions, and the hastily assembled rogue soldiers were not opponents at all, and the already very loose formation collapsed in an instant.

Zhao Jin was already depressed at this time, and roared helplessly, watching his subordinates fall under the swords of the official army's iron cavalry, and the whole battle was completely a one-sided slaughter.

At this moment, Liu Yunwei discovered Zhao Jin's existence in the chaotic crowd, so he quickly danced the steel gun in his hand to kill the surrounding thieves, and then hung the steel gun on the saddle, and grabbed the iron tire strong bow and directly pulled it into a full moon shape.

"Medium!" Liu Yunwei shot a killer arrow at Zhao Jin, and the sharp arrow quickly crossed the chaotic crowd with wind pressure, and was nailed straight to Zhao Jin's neck in an instant, and a stream of blood suddenly splashed out.

Zhao Jin's eyes widened, his eyes were full of incredulity, his mouth closed as if he wanted to say something, and the surrounding rogue soldiers suddenly let out bursts of screams when they saw this, and they fled towards the night.

Liu Yunwei shouted excitedly: "Kill! Kill! Kill the enemy in separate battles! The dragon cavalry suddenly dispersed, and they turned into a small group of dozens of people, chasing and killing the fleeing thieves in the dark night.

At the same time, Wen Poyu had also led the soldiers of the Changshui Department to kill the rear of the thieves, and was sweeping towards Liu Yunwei's location, and thousands of Hanwei battalion iron cavalry were about to successfully join the division.

Liu Yunwei looked at the banner of the Changshui Department that was already looming, and was overjoyed in his heart, so he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, and turn around to attack Zhao Zhenren's army in Mushu Town, so he shouted loudly: "Let them surrender!" Surrender or kill! Hurry up and shout! ”

Immediately afterwards, the entire battlefield resounded with shouts one after another, and countless rogue soldiers put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender to the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion amid the shouts of "surrender or kill". The fighting on the entire battlefield basically stopped, except for a few rogue soldiers who fled into the night while taking advantage of the chaos, most of the rogue soldiers chose to surrender.

Liu Yunwei saw that the general situation had been decided, so he commanded the soldiers to concentrate the captured thief soldiers in custody, and sent someone to find Wen Poyu.

Wen Poyu hurriedly rode his horse over, his body was covered with blood, and the whole person seemed to have just crawled out of the sea of blood, and he stayed close and said, "Big brother! We fought this battle really happily, and we annihilated an army of 50,000 thieves in one battle! ”

Liu Yunwei also laughed and said: "Haha, it's really a fluke, if it weren't for the thieves rushing to Luhun Mountain to help, we would really be in a bad situation, so we could only stare dryly." ”

Wen Poyu said with a smile: "Even if the thief doesn't take the bait, we are not afraid, is there a big brother in our Hanwei camp who can't win the battle?" ”

"Haha, when did the Breaker learn to be afraid of sycophants?" Liu Yunwei laughed and said: "By the way, I am going to immediately lead the army to raid the Zhao Zhenren Department in Mushu Town, you lead the two soldiers of the Changshui Department to stay behind to guard these prisoners, and I will take the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry and the remaining Changshui soldiers to leave for Mushu Town immediately." ”

Wen Poyu was a little worried when he heard this, and said: "Big brother, there are only more than 6,000 people in our two divisions together, and we have to divide troops to guard the prisoners, and at the same time raid tens of thousands of enemy troops, but the strength is not enough." ”

Liu Yunwei was unimpressed, and said: "It's okay, these captives have been killed by us, and it is more than enough to leave the troops of the two divisions to guard; As for the raid on Mushu Town, it is not about the number of troops, but about the suddenness, as long as we can appear on the battlefield unexpectedly, we can achieve unexpected results! ”

Wen Poyu couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and said: "What the eldest brother said is reasonable, then let's do it, I will go and mobilize soldiers and horses, and send all the prisoners back to Yiyang, where there are thousands of people in the reserve camp, which can ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Liu Yunwei said: "Okay, just do it, you have to be careful along the way." ”

Not long after, Liu Yunwei led the Longxiang Iron Cavalry and most of the Changshui Department with a total of more than 4,000 Iron Cavalry soldiers to set off, galloping towards Mushu Town, and disappeared into the vast night. Wen Poyu also immediately commanded the remaining Changshui soldiers to gather all the prisoners, and simply cleaned up the battlefield, and set off north along the original road.

North of the town of Muju.

Zhao Zhenren looked at the battlefield that had fallen into a stalemate, it was already the second half of the night, after most of the night of fighting, more than 40,000 men and horses under his command were already exhausted, coupled with the serious casualties caused by the continuous attack on the Hanwei battalion, the morale of tens of thousands of troops was already very low at this time.

"If I continue like this, I'm going to lose everything!" Zhao Zhenren looked at the Hanwei camp in the distance by the light of the fire, and his heart was full of monstrous hatred: "Why are these officers and soldiers so difficult to fight?" Don't they know that they are tired? Don't they know that they are afraid? Why haven't they retreated yet! ”

At this time, a small leader hurriedly ran over and said: "Qi Yu Zhenren, the 5,000 army attacking in front has retreated, and the brothers have suffered heavy casualties and can't hold on, let's retire for a while, let the brothers take a breath!" ”

"No! Gather another 5,000 men to attack it! Those who dare to hesitate will not be forgiven! Zhao Zhenren said fiercely.

At this moment, the roar of artillery sounded again in front of the Hanwei camp, and the thief formation suddenly floated, and then saw four hot fireballs smashed into the thief array, and suddenly smashed out four flesh and blood alleys, and the thief array wailed.

At the same time, Zhao Zhenren suddenly heard a roar behind him, and the little leader on the side exclaimed: "We also have the artillery of the official army behind us!" ”

Zhao Zhenren looked at the dark night behind him with a pale face, and shouted hoarsely: "The four phalanxes in the back row immediately turn!" Enemy attack, enemy attack! The officers and soldiers are coming! ”
