Chapter 310: Old-fashioned ambush
Seeing that Wang Hanyang was speechless, the other two generals all showed disdain.
In the army, there are generally not so many fancy intestines among the martial artists, and if they are used to it, they are used to it, and if they are not used to it, they will not be used to it, out of prejudice against Wang Hanyang, of course, they will not have a good face.
Soon, watching the two soldiers and horses quickly assemble and march towards the camp on the left, Wang Hanyang sighed and said, "Since the two generals are going, let's go together, we can't suffer in numbers." ”
As he spoke, he immediately ordered all the soldiers to be divided into two parts, leaving 30,000 men to guard the camp, and the remaining 40,000 to go to support.
"Well, that's pretty good." General Zhang's face paleated slightly.
Wang Hanyang was helpless, the most important thing for the enemy at present was to unite as one, and he was finally able to understand what General Wang Zhi often said to him in the past - without the approval of other generals, you will never become a general.
In the past, he had always scoffed at this sentence, feeling that marching and fighting a war valued strength, and whether he could become a general who commanded an army was based on his ability to command rather than forming gangs.
Now, he finally realized it.
If at the same time he had become more modest, why did he find himself in such a dilemma today?
The army marched towards the left camp.
"The atmosphere isn't quite right."
Wang Hanyang sat on horseback, always felt that something was missing, Zuo Daying is also a big camp that can accommodate 60,000 people, but now it seems that the fire is not big, it is getting closer and closer to the camp, but there is no sound of slashing at all!
Anyway, there are tens of thousands of left-behind soldiers in the barracks, and there will definitely be a fight.
Could it be that the battle is over?
Or, this is another virtual plan of the Cang army, and the goal is not the left battalion.
Right battalion?
Wang Hanyang was a little confused, at this moment he only felt that he was facing a very powerful opponent, he was also experienced in leading troops to fight, and he had done a lot of things to intrude on the enemy's camp, but he had never swayed from side to side like today, and he was at a loss.
Of course, this is just a guess in his heart, and even if he says it, no one will care, but it will further provoke the contradictions between the three armies.
Between the middle camp and the left camp, it was only five or six miles away, and under the rapid march, the soldiers were sweating profusely.
"Stop!"
Suddenly, Wang Hanyang shouted, and everyone in the headquarters was alert.
"What's wrong again."
General Zhang frowned, and he didn't care about asking, just as if there was no such person, he continued to lead his subordinates on the road.
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh-"
"Whoosh-"
The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounded, and from the mountain roads on both sides, a powerful arrow flew down.
"There's an ambush!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Fight back!"
In a few breaths, one soldier after another fell, the terrain on both sides of the river was hilly, and people were ambushed everywhere, and one after another crossbows were mounted on the hillside, and sharp arrows poured down like a downpour.
The Jin army can't dodge at all, in fact, this is also a feature of wars in the past, the reason why ambushes have a huge advantage is because there are no long-range weapons in this era, and the strike range is limited, not to mention that the Jin army has not found where the ambush is hiding, even if it is found, there is no way.
"Quick! Extinguish the torches! ”
Under the protection of several personal guards, Wang Hanyang hid in the middle of several horses, and kept retreating while ordering the soldiers to extinguish the torches.
At the same time, the archers are also looking for cover to dodge and wait for an opportunity to return fire.
As for the effect of the counterattack, it is self-evident, one is on the mountain, the other is under the mountain, one is prepared, and the other is in a hurry, which is not comparable at all.
In just a few moments, the Jin army's casualties reached a small half.
"What a bunch of stupid pigs who don't have a long memory!"
Sima Hong stood next to a repeating crossbow, laughing while fiddling, relying on the advantage of the repeater to fight an ambush battle, which was used in the attack on Zheng Guo a long time ago, but he changed his way slightly, and this group of people was still fooled.
Bah!
What a bullshit overlord, but Erl!
Not only Sima Hong, but even some of the generals under his command laughed heartily, this ambush has been successful, not to mention the annihilation of all the soldiers of the three major battalions, but it is still possible to kill seven, seven, eight, eight.
This battle can be described as the first battle of the Cang army's attack on the Jin Kingdom, although the victory is not very glorious, but the war is not like this, either you die or I die, those generals who abide by the rules can only become the scourge of an army.
As the commander of the first army, to speak benevolence, righteousness and morality to the enemy is to be irresponsible to his own brothers, which is a manifestation of incompetence.
The so-called incompetence of one general kills the three armies, and that's what it says.
"Hahaha, Generalissimo, brothers, do you want to cover up! I can't say that we want to be the first contributor to the war of the Jin Dynasty, so that all countries can be convinced! General Liu Dingshan held a big knife and was eager to try.
"No, no." Sima Hong shook his head and said: "Although the tiger is tired, it can especially pounce on food, this Jin army has been killed and wounded more than half, but it is not a soft persimmon, go and pull up the dozen barrels of fierce fire oil and give the Jin army a taste!" ”
"Okay!"
Liu Dingshan's eyes lit up, and he went to arrange it.
Sima Hong watched him leave, laughed, and said to the generals on the left and right: "Look at this reckless thing, there is no appearance of a great general, don't you want to learn from him in the future!" ”
The generals laughed when they heard this, and they all knew that Sima Hong was joking, so they scattered around, ready for the next action.
As for why it was not discussed carefully, it was not discussed in advance, but for this kind of ambush warfare, each army and general has had many drills on weekdays, such as this kind of ambush warfare where there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle, basically Sima Hong does not need to make specific arrangements, naturally knows how to cooperate with each other, how to fight and advance, and keep it so that the Jin army has no return.
The next step is basically to purge the remnants.
It's a battle of contrasts.
Although the Jin army had 1780,000 people, under the ambush of more than 100,000 Cang troops, they had no power to fight back at all.
In less than half an hour, the main force of the Jin army had been basically wiped out.
"Report to the Generalissimo, a small group of troops of the Jin army has fled, the night is dark, the surrounding terrain is complicated, our cavalry cannot pursue, and the enemy has successfully fled to the west." General Li Hu came to report.
"Escaped? How many people are there? ”
Sima Hong was a little surprised, long before he decided to ambush, he had already arranged carefully, 20,000 pretended to attack the middle and large battalions, attracting the left and right two battalions to send troops to rescue, and at the same time, 20,000 people would attack the left battalion, causing the troops of the three major battalions to turn around and rescue together.
The rest of the soldiers of the White Tiger Legion set up an ambush on the mountain pass.
