When Polu led his 10,000 cavalry to Xining City, he did not go to reinforce the Yongning princess Bai Yalun as he had promised to the left minister, Yelu Zijin, but sent spies to circle the city wall.

When he learned that there was a group of fleeing Daxia people outside the South City Gate, he waved his army in the direction of the South City Gate. He wanted to stop those who had fled from Great Xia before the sky was completely dark.

Although Polu also knew that night battles were very dangerous, and if the horses could not see the road ahead clearly and stumbled, it would cause great damage to the cavalry, but he did not think that these fleeing Daxia people could cause much damage to his army.

In the field battle outside the open city, the Mengyuan cavalry has never been afraid of anyone!

"Rush! Whoever stopped the group of Great Xia people first, the general allowed him to take an extra piece of loot. "Polu made a promise to the whole army.

"Whew~~"

The sound of ghosts crying and wolf howls sounded, and countless horses' hooves whistled through Xining City.

A spy from the Black Crow Army got up from the prostrate ground, ran to Leng Huo, and said, "Commander Qiqi, there is a cavalry approaching in front, less than three miles away from us. ”

Leng Huo sat proudly on the black horse, nodded and said: "The commander has heard the sound of horses' hooves, let the brothers get ready, enter the ambush position, and once the Mengyuan cavalry passes, immediately blow them up with a grenade." ”

The black crow scout clenched his fists and said, "Obey the orders of the left commander!" ”

After the order of the cold fire was given, a thousand black crows quietly ambushed on the left side of the road under the cover of night.

……

……

The night was low, the sun had completely set, and the moon had crept up to the treetops.

Under the cold moonlight, the mountains loom in the distance. In the dark night sky, there was the sound of night owls flying by from time to time, and the piercing cry made people's hearts tremble.

Zhang Xiaoya shuddered, approached Zhang Wanqing's side, and hesitated: "Sister, I'm afraid!" ”

Zhang Wanqing reached out and hugged her shoulder, touched her head, and comforted: "Xiaoya is not afraid, my sister and your master are here." Besides, you can see that torches have already been lit in front of us, and they will soon be distributed to us, so that the night sky can be lit up and the road under our feet will be clear. ”

As he was talking, Ma Lao Liu's entourage and the family members of Sujiazhuang had already begun to run over with torches, and from time to time they distributed the torches they lit in their hands to the people who were in a hurry.

With the lighting of the torches, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, there are so many people, there is no need to worry about walking and falling. It's just that people are a group that drives light, and when they see the bright fire, they will be comforted a lot.

While handing over the torches, Ma Lao Liu encouraged loudly: "The master just said, let everyone work harder." When you reach the foot of the mountain in front of you, you can stop and rest, and at that time the Mengyuan dog soldiers should not be able to catch up. ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Ma Laoliu's finger, it was a low hill, and it didn't seem to be very far away, so they mustered up their strength and hurried forward.

In the team, Zhong Qinghan sighed softly in his heart, that hill didn't look far, but if you really want to go, there are at least ten miles away. It can really be described as a dead horse running from the mountain.

She didn't know that on the earth of Su Ziheng's previous life, there was an idiom called "Wangmei quenches thirst". At some point, a white lie is still very necessary.

……

……

Seeing that the sky was completely dark, but he hadn't caught up with the group of Great Xia fugitives, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If this continues, it will be difficult to catch up with them at night unless 10,000 cavalry are dispersed.

But if he really wants to disperse, there will inevitably be casualties, because he is not sure if there will be traces of the Liangzhou army nearby. If you accidentally fall into an ambush, it will be more than worth the loss.

Just as he was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw countless torches lit up in front of him, like a long snake swimming, extremely eye-catching.

Polu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "What a bunch of idiots, do you think you can go night by lighting a torch?" I don't know if this will reveal your location. ”

He raised the whip in his hand and pointed straight at the place where the torches were lit in front of him, "The whole army is moving forward at full speed!" ”

"Stomp Pedal Pedal

The war horse was like a whirlwind, galloping past the road in front of Leng Huo and the others in an instant.

Leng Huo silently counted the number of cavalry galloping past in his heart, and then shouted fiercely: "Grenade ready, throw!" ”

The Black Crow Army, Shi Meng and others, who had already been prepared, had already prepared the fire fold and waited for Leng Huo's order.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Hundreds of grenades flew over the heads of the Mengyuan cavalry in no particular order, and when the grenades landed, they rang out with a bang. Suddenly, hundreds of Mengyuan cavalry were blown out with men and horses.

"Wow!"

The sudden explosion frightened the galloping horses, and some suddenly stopped their pace and threw the cavalry on their backs away; Others fled in fright; More of it was for Meng Yuanjun behind to quickly hold on to the reins, looking at the place where the grenade exploded in horror, not daring to move forward.

"Enemy attack, there is an ambush!"

Without waiting for the Meng Yuan cavalry in front to exclaim, hundreds of grenades flew over. Countless severed limbs flew in the air, blood flowing everywhere.

Under the low night, the exploding grenades are like fireworks blooming in hell, gorgeous but with the poignancy of a cruel death.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Mengyuan cavalry was on their backs, Leng Huo gave the order to retreat. Listening to the sound of horses' hooves kicking away, none of the remaining Mengyuan cavalry dared to chase after them.

No one knows if that terrifying death weapon will fall on their heads, let alone chasing an unknown ambusher in such a dark night, which is undoubtedly the most stupid move. Because no one knows if they will have a second wave waiting for them!

Polu's guards glanced at the iron-faced Commander Wan, and asked hesitantly, "General, are we still chasing?" ”

Polu's teeth were clucking, and the horsewhip in his hand was also broken by him, and he wanted to give the order to chase him to the end, and he would not let go of anyone who dared to ambush and attack him.

But when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed them, as a commander of ten thousand people, he was bringing his own pro-army at the moment, and he knew that he couldn't be rash. If you are really greedy for merit and fall into the enemy's bigger trap, then you will suffer in the end.

Polu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's retreat first, retreat to the army camp to rest for the night, and wait for the sun to rise tomorrow, and then catch up to take revenge." Their huge team, and at night, must not have walked very fast, and with the advantage of our cavalry, we will definitely be able to catch up with them! ”

The guards pondered for a moment and asked, "General, should we arrange for a small team of men and horses to embellish them and keep an eye on them from a distance, so as not to let them lose them." ”

Polu nodded, "That's fine, tell the spies not to approach without permission, just notice the place where the fire disappears." ”
