Chapter 044: Fleeting
Yuan Lang ascended the watchtower, and the first thing he did was to look in the direction that Zhang Yan was secretly traveling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw that under the bad weather of strong winds and snow, a small detachment of more than 200 people was quietly moving away from the Jizhou military camp and detouring in the direction of the southern pine forest.
Cao Hong's uncle and nephew's archery troops under the tower are also ready to go, only to see that they are carrying bows and arrows, and the quiver is also full of arrows, and they are stepping on the new made snowboards, and each holding a pair of walking sticks in their hands, they are all in good spirits, making people know at a glance that this is a team of warriors who dare to brave dangers.
Looking at Pan Feng and the dozens of cavalry who were surrounded on the battlefield, the enemy's encirclement of them has become tighter and tighter, and the scope is getting smaller and smaller, it seems that the enemy has lost patience with this long hunting operation, and they can end this luring operation with little results at any time.
Yuan Lang is anxious now, but his son has warned himself more than once in his heart that he can't be in a hurry.
If Pan Feng's side didn't get any signal of success in creating an avalanche, and if there was no one of the large armies in the pine forest that Niu Fu was ambushing, he would not give the next order, because he didn't want to have more casualties, even at the expense of Pan Feng, whom he felt was a pity.
"Boom Boom ~ Boom Boom ......"
The earth began to tremble, and although Yuan Lang was on top of the tower, he could clearly feel the tremor. Yuan Lang now seems to have a pair of tailwind ears, and what he always listens to is this sound from the south.
"Can't rush, wait!"
Yuan Lang's nervous fists could be clenched into sweat, he knew that he couldn't be in a hurry now, although Zhang Yan and they lived up to expectations and let the avalanche form, but the pine forest had not yet received the effect he expected to see.
Didn't Niu Fu's army hide in the pine forest?
Yuan Lang's heart was about to jump out, if that was the case, then what he was doing now was in vain, because if Niu Fu was not in the pine forest, then he must be waiting for them to die in other more hidden places.
"There you have, there you have it!"
Yuan Lang looked excitedly in the direction of the pine forest, because he saw that the pine forest, which was still silent just now, was now like an explosion, and a large number of horses suddenly rushed out around the forest.
The horses were obviously startled by the sudden avalanche, and saw them carry the cavalry on their backs like headless flies, and the scene suddenly spiraled out of control.
More terrible things are still to come, because the pine forest is relatively small, and the army of Niu Fu ambush is as many as 20,000, so that people are crowded, horses hit horses, and many people and horses are killed or trampled to death at once.
Although Yuan Lang was far away, he could just vaguely see this tragic stampede from this height. He was also desperate to do this ruthless trick, if it weren't for this world where the winner is the king and the loser is the villain, he wouldn't want to do this unethical strategy.
"Listen to me!" Yuan Lang knocked on the golden bell in his hand, and then ordered to the snowboard archers who had already prepared under the tower: "Goal, rescue the besieged soldiers of our army, sons, rush me!" ”
"Rush~"
As soon as the military order was given, the door of the barracks opened, and the archers roared, and the sound shook the universe, and they rushed out of the barracks with their canes, and sped away in the direction that had been designed long ago.
The Jizhou army should be located in a relatively high area, so the speed of these archers who stepped on the snowboard to slide out is getting faster and faster, but the speed is too fast also brings danger, as far as Yuan Lang can see, there are already more than a dozen people who have fallen into the snow because they are not skilled enough.
But the general situation is still good, I saw Cao Hong, Cao Ang took the lead, and they led more than 400 sons and daughters behind them, they themselves were like sharp arrows, with the Jizhou military camp as the bowstring, and the besieged Pan Feng and others as the target, they were "swishing" and sprinting over.
The three-way cavalry used by the Niu Auxiliary Army to encircle Pan Feng has now converged all the way, and they have also seen the "ghost thing" that rushed out, and they just divided the team to intercept it, but the Jizhou archers who stepped on the board were like "flying eagles" on the snow, and their speed was so fast that they had rushed over before the encirclement was closed in the blink of an eye.
The speed of the cavalry in the snow had been greatly reduced, and it was still snowing in large quantities, making it even more difficult for them to walk.
In this way, the archers on the snowboard have enough advantages, although they are ten times less than the enemy in numbers, but they are an inch long and an inch strong, not to mention that only they shoot people, no cattle auxiliary army can touch them, in this way, the Jizhou archers coalition who are not rough in archery skills suddenly have the upper hand, and the arrows can be hit.
As soon as the encircled army of the Niu Auxiliary Army saw that the situation was not good, they gradually expanded the encirclement infinitely, so that Pan Feng and the others, who were still surrounded just now, suddenly got a gap, and gradually broke through from various breakthroughs, and retreated in the direction of the Jizhou army camp in shock.
This is the result that Yuan Lang wants to see, in this way, the lives of Pan Feng and the dozens of cavalrymen can be regarded as having a chance to live.
"Mingjin retreats!"
Yuan Lang was afraid that the previous scene would be staged again, and he had already achieved the effect of saving people by using this snowboard archers to win by surprise, so he immediately gave the order to retreat.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding~"
The melodious sound of the golden bell came out of the barracks, and Cao Hong, Cao Ang's uncle and nephew, who received the signal, shot and retreated, and soon fled from the encirclement.
However, casualties were inevitable, and the archers, who were not very skilled in gliding, fell into the snow, and they were still killed by the enemy cavalry, one by one, and died heroically in the same place, never to return.
Just when the last soldier retreated into the Jizhou army camp, a cavalry brigade had been integrated from the direction of the pine forest at this time, and the number was really quite a lot.
However, the speed at which they came was affected by the snow stumbling, and when they arrived at the scene, and even chased them under the Jizhou military camp, they did not even catch a single one alive.
The enemy army had assembled more than a mile in front of the barracks, and it seemed that they could not bear the defeat just now, and were preparing for an even more brutal challenge.
Yuan Lang got off the watchtower, what he was afraid of now was not the tiger and wolf army in front of the barracks, but Zhang Yan and the others who had gone out and did not return, where they were now.
After the avalanche happened just now, Yuan Lang had been staring at the pine forest from the top of the tower, but he didn't see any shadow of Zhang Yan.
At this moment, as soon as he stepped down from the tower, he immediately sent a number of scouts to search for Zhang Yan along the various directions behind the barracks where Zhang Yan might appear, until they found Zhang Yan's whereabouts.
"Huang Shuai, I ......"
Pan Feng, who had died all his life, returned to the barracks exhausted, the first thing he did was to ask Yuan Lang for his guilt, if it wasn't for Yuan Lang to save him, it is estimated that not only himself, but even the cavalry who followed him in the encirclement would not want to come back alive.
"General Pan, please get up!"
Yuan Lang stepped forward to help the big man, in his opinion, if he hadn't calculated that Niu Fu's ambush was in the pine forest, it was estimated that he might have sacrificed Pan Feng.
Because he felt a little guilty, Yuan Lang didn't say anything to Pan Feng, but comforted him with kind words, hoping that he would not take it to heart.
"Huang Shuai, I am willing to make meritorious service for my crimes!" Pan Feng clasped his fists and said to Yuan Lang, who had been comforting him there: "Now the enemy army is calling for battle outside the camp, a certain talent, I would like to mention the heads of a few enemy generals and come back to apologize!" ”
It stands to reason that it was not easy to rescue Pan Feng from the fleeting opportunity, Yuan Lang has no reason to let him be in danger again, but a general is sinking into the sand today, if he is not allowed to fall and get up again, I am afraid that he will have a shadow in the future, and even collapse.
Thinking of this, Yuan Lang looked at Pan Feng firmly, patted his arm, and ordered: "Okay!" I'll let General Cao's uncle and nephew accompany you! ”
"The Last General's Order!"
Pan Feng was even grateful, if Yuan Lang didn't let him get back to the field today, it was estimated that he would regret it for the rest of his life.
In order to prevent Pan Feng from making any mistakes, Yuan Lang specially arranged for Cao Hong's uncle and nephew to accompany him, because most of the cavalry were taken out by Zhang Yan, so Yuan Lang could only give Pan Feng Cao Hong's uncle and nephew's archers, as well as the 3,000 infantry.
Although the number of people was many times less than that of the Niu Fu army in front of the village, Yuan Lang repeatedly emphasized that only the main general would challenge, and the army would never charge, and if the enemy charged, our army would immediately retreat. Therefore, the number of soldiers has nothing to do with the overall situation, and it is only a matter of the size of the pomp and circumstance that there are few people.
Pan Feng had the lesson of the last time, and this time he didn't dare to be confused about Yuan Lang's military orders, he personally agreed to Yuan Lang's warning, and then rode his horse, led more than 3,000 soldiers behind him to kill out of the camp, and went to meet the challenge of Niu Fu's army.
