Chapter 490: The Rainstorm is Approaching 4
Although Hua Tieli was angry, he was also muttering in his heart, he was born as a robber and thief, and he knew a lot about natural disasters, like in previous years, when thieves were prevalent, most of them were natural disasters, and the current river was muddy, and Qin Yi, the handsome tiger of Great Xia, was defeated, these sad signs are easily reminiscent of the natural disaster, for a while, Hua Tieli was uneasy, he was about to see Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Yuan's urgent order came.
Hua Tieli hurried to the tent, and Li Hu, Huang Qi and others were already waiting here.
"General Zhao... What's urgent? ”
"Discover the traces of the Yan Army!"
Zhao Yuan looked around at everyone and said, "Forty days southeast of my department, I found traces of the Yan army..."
"Good thing!" Li Hu said in a hurry: "Now the tiger master is going to do a big job, and let out the sulking in his heart!" ”
"But according to the report from the sentry cavalry, there are about more than 10,000 Yan troops in this army, which is twice as large as our army... Therefore, in order to ensure safety, let Yuan Hong and Han Mo explain the attack strategy in detail! ”
Zhao Yuan retreated and sat down, Han Mo and Yuan Hong took out the map, on the map, the two had already marked the possible direction of the Yan army's attack, Li Hu swept his eyes widely, and found that the two armies attacked in a slightly divided direction, which made Li Hu unclear.
"I said two, we are already weak, and we have to divide our troops, in case one of them is defeated, wouldn't it be a leak?"
"Definitely!"
Han Mo shook his head: "It is precisely because we have few soldiers that we can't attack with all our strength, which will only reveal our foundation, but dividing our troops to attack can create momentum, so that the Yan army does not know the truth of our department, so as to take them down!" ”
Fifteen miles south of the village, there is a valley, because of the invasion of war, all the people of the surrounding villages have fled, these valleys are also deserted, after a spring and summer crazy growth, the grain grass has grown to the height of a man.
Dai Liang led his troops to the south of the valley on the stone slope, from a distance, that Yu Zhuang is just located in the valley downstream, if the battle is started in the wilderness to the west of the valley, when the two sides fight to the fierce, a fire will burn, even if it can't burn people, the smoke drifts down the wind, it can choke a lot to death.
"Command the forward colonel lieutenant and let him march boldly!"
Dai Liang ordered, and the flag commander immediately waved the flag, and a few whines came from the forward Yan Military Academy train a few miles away, which was regarded as a response.
There are more than 3,000 people in the three schools in the forward school column, and the battalion lieutenant looked at the barren four fields, his heart was like a stone, and suddenly, a piercing sound came from the flank, and the battalion lieutenant immediately howled: "Be vigilant!" ”
When the words fell, the rain of arrows shot from a distance, and under the command of the captain of the Yan army, three thousand Yan soldiers immediately formed a formation to resist the attack of the rain of arrows.
"Kill..."
After the rain of arrows, the sound of killing was heard, and the battalion commander looked at it, and a group of men and horses rushed from the bushes behind the wasteland on the right flank.
"Gun array, resist, crossbow team, suppress!"
The battalion lieutenant screamed, and immediately, more than a thousand Yan soldiers rushed forward in a row, that Li Hu held a thorn hammer, took the lead, and the brothers of the right vanguard of his department followed, facing the rain of arrows of the Yan soldiers, Li Hu's stabbing hammer swept and swung away, only breaking the feather arrows into pieces.
"Spearman, kill..."
Seeing that the Bei'an army was about to rush to within 100 steps, the spear team junior colonel was in a hurry, and hundreds of spearmen rushed forward with the courage to kill, but although Li Hu and these people were young and handsome, they had already practiced courage in the battlefield fight, and for the general spearmen to fight the cavalry, they were free to break it, that is, Lin Xiu learned the stone throwing technique from the Northern barbarians.
Of course, Li Hu and these people don't know how to throw stones, they use a simpler throwing gun to break through the spear formation, when Li Hu's stabbing hammer hangs horizontally behind him, his left arm takes out a three-foot short gun from the gun bag in front of the saddle, and with a flick of the arm, the short gun turns into silver light and flies out.
Breaking the distance of forty or fifty paces allowed the throwing spear to exert the power of the arm crossbow, and for a while, hundreds of short spears smashed the Yan army's spearmen.
"No withdrawal!"
The spearmen scouted, but the war horses were rushing, and the momentum was heavy, and the Yan army spearmen saw that the front team was scattered, how could the people behind dare to step forward and take their lives? But in the blink of an eye, Li Hu's right vanguard rushed into the Yan army array.
In the face of the retreating Yan soldiers, Li Hu stabbed and swept across with a hammer, and everywhere he passed, people poured blood splashed, which was really fierce.
"Siege, siege!"
The battalion lieutenant of the forward colonel shouted loudly, and the remaining 2,000 soldiers had already dispersed in Li Hu's onslaught, forming two moving walls and pressing towards Li Hu's rear road.
However, without waiting for the Yan army battalion lieutenant to besiege Li Hu, on the left flank of the department, Hua Tieli's left vanguard colonel came, and the two sides attacked, the battalion lieutenant was obviously out of proportion, and after a while, the battalion lieutenant could only order all retreat.
On the stone slope, Dai Liang saw this and said, "Send two soldiers from the edge to pass, I want to make sure that there are any other ambushes in the Bei'an Army!" ”
After the lieutenant of the first battalion was ordered to leave, Dai Liang ordered again: "The rear is pressing, and the middle colonel will attack from the right flank to kill the fat general!" ”
When the horn of 'woo' came, Li Hu turned around and looked, smoke and dust rose again on the stone slope in the distance, he knew that this was the rear force of the Yan army, according to Zhao Yuan's explanation, after they took a chance, they should temporarily retreat and avoid the Yan army's soldiers, but Li Hu was good and impatient, how could he let go of the defeated soldiers of the Yan army's forward school column, so Li Hu turned around and turned his horse and led hundreds of soldiers to kill in the direction of the stone slope.
"What is this fat man going to do?"
Hua Tieli, who was in the melee, saw Li Hu leading some soldiers of the right vanguard column to leave the battlefield, and she was immediately anxious.
"Quick... Tell General Zhao about Li Hu's wanton fierce battle! ”
Hua Tieli ordered loudly, and after a while, he rode back to Zhao Yuan's headquarters, Zhao Yuan heard this, and immediately scolded: "This bastard..."
"General, Li Hu is greedy for merit, if he doesn't defend his back road, he may be surrounded..."Yuan Hong spoke up, how could Zhao Yuan not know about this situation, but he couldn't watch Li Hu be trapped.
In desperation, Li Hu ordered Zhou Changlu to lead 500 light cavalry from his headquarters to support, and sent Huang Qi to prepare for an attack.
In the central capital, due to the urgency of Emperor Xia Wu's personal order, Nangong Bao was caught up by the dragon guards of Longmu Division on the way to Shouyang City with Wu Fan and Wang Fan.
"How do these bastards look like ghosts and ghosts... Chase to the death! ”
Wang Fan scolded, Rao is Wu Fan was tired and panted: "Don't say more, work harder, as long as we pass Shouyang City, the people sent by His Highness will pick us up, and then we will be safe!" ”
Having said that, Shouyang City is the current western border border city of Zhongdu, how can it be easily passed?
When he arrived at the east gate of Shouyang City, looking at the heavily guarded guards, Nangong Bao said: "I definitely can't get in now, even if I go in, if I want to go out from the west gate, it will be even more difficult!" ”
"What does the prince mean?"
"Detour!" Nangong Bao said affirmatively: "The southern city of Shouyang City is connected to Qishui, we might as well go to the ferry and take a boat to bypass the defense of Shouyang City, although it will waste one more day, but it is much safer than passing through the city!" ”
"Then according to the words of the son!"
Wu Fan and Wang Fan abandoned their horses, bypassed the avenue with Nangong Bao, and went to Qishui Ferry in the south of Shouyang City from the trail.
