Chapter 117: The Wuheng camp that was defeated in one blow
As soon as Wei Xiaokuan's words fell, Liu Ji's side except for Chen Hao, a fierce general who lacked heart, Su Lie, Hua Xiong and Zhao Ben all nodded in agreement. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Liu Ji also thought that it was a good way to sneak attack the Huren camp at night, so he waved his hand to several generals, and led them down the hill, came to the bottom of the hill, and joined Dong Xian and fifty cavalrymen, and everyone urged the horses back to the woods where the army on the border was hidden.
Liu Ji ordered the whole army to prohibit daily cooking, and everyone could only eat dry food and dried meat to satisfy their hunger, so as to prevent being discovered by the Hu army more than ten miles away, and at the same time ordered the five infantry to prepare for night battles.
When night fell, the two cavalry and five infantry in the soldiers of the border army all left the woods, and with the help of the bright moon in the sky, they went straight to the direction of Chengyin City.
The patriarch of the ghost wolf tribe, Tie Fashi, was sleeping soundly in his felt bag, and was suddenly awakened by the fierce shouting of killing, Tie Fashi immediately got up and held a big knife in his hand, at this time, a guard of Tie Fashi panicked and opened the door curtain of the felt bag, walked in and said urgently: "Patriarch, it's not good!" A large number of Jin troops have entered our camp! ”
Tie Fashi was shocked, but on the surface he was still relatively calm, "Immediately gather the warriors of the tribe and wipe out the Jin people who attacked our camp, although I don't know how the Jin people came out of Chengyin City, but the number of Jin people who attacked our camp must not be much!" ”
"This ...... Patriarch, you'd better go outside and take a look! It seems that the Jin people who attacked our camp are not the defenders of Chengyin City, it should be the reinforcements of the Jin people who have arrived! ”
Tie Fashi then walked out of the felt bag with a look of disbelief, and then his face suddenly changed, as soon as he came out, he saw a group of Jin soldiers in armor, chasing and killing the soldiers of the Wuheng tribes in the camp, and some Wuheng warriors who were supposed to be cavalry could only rely on their legs to flee in embarrassment at this time.
Even some Wuheng soldiers who rode on war horses couldn't do anything in front of a group of Jin people armored soldiers, and a Wuheng cavalryman was cut off from his horse and died under the chaotic blade, or was directly killed by random arrows, as if the Wuheng people in the entire camp were messed up.
Tie Fa Shi looked at it, and confirmed that so many Jin army was definitely not something that Chengyin City could take out, it seemed that the reinforcements of the Great Jin Dynasty had arrived, so what was there to hesitate, Tie Fa Shi immediately gathered the cavalry of his own tribe nearby, and fled directly to the north on a war horse.
Min Aduo, the patriarch of the Red Wing tribe, saw a large number of Jin troops killed in the camp, and he also simply led the Red Wing tribe cavalry that could be gathered, selected a place where the Jin infantry was few, rushed out of the camp of the 13 tribal alliances in Wuheng, and also fled to the direction of the northern grassland.
Not only did the cavalry of these two tribes flee under the leadership of the patriarch, but the leaders of the other tribes also gathered the cavalry of their own tribe and fled outside the camp in embarrassment.
The disadvantages of the 13 Wuheng tribes' alliance were vividly manifested at this time, the soldiers of each tribe fought separately, most of them only knew how to escape, and the balance of victory soon tilted towards Liu Ji's border army.
There were five infantry units among Liu Ji's soldiers, and after arriving outside Chengyin City in the middle of the night to rest for a while, Liu Ji ordered Wu Liang, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou and Zhang Guiben, the four infantry, to attack the Hu people's camp in the north outside Chengyin City from four directions.
The so-called camp of the 13 Wuheng tribal coalition forces is just a felt bag, and there is not even a fence built around the camp, and the Wuheng coalition army never dreamed that there would be reinforcements in Chengyin City, and the Wuheng coalition army was almost unprepared for the sneak attack of the border army under Liu Ji.
However, because there was no fence around the camp, it was also convenient for the Wuheng cavalry to escape, Wu Liang, Zhang Guiba, Zhang Guihou and Zhang Guiben, the four infantry, although the four directions attacked the camp of the Wuheng coalition army, but they did not completely encircle, or gave the Wuheng cavalry a chance to escape.
Of course, this is also the intention of the infantry of the four divisions, if you really block thousands of Wuheng cavalry in the camp, thousands of Wuheng cavalry will definitely be desperate, in that case, even if you finally annihilate thousands of Wuheng cavalry, the border team under Liu Ji will also have to suffer heavy losses, which Liu Ji and the generals do not want to see.
In the other three directions of Chengyin City, the Wuheng coalition army did not build a camp, but more than 200 cavalry were arranged near the three gates of Chengyin City to prevent the defenders of Chengyin City from going out of the city at night to sneak attack.
Outside the north gate of Chengyin City, the Wuheng coalition army also arranged more than 200 cavalry, but unfortunately the attention of these cavalry was on Chengyin City, and they did not find the thousands of foot soldiers who approached the Wuheng Heng camp at night.
And when the infantry of the four divisions under Liu Ji entered the camp of the Wuheng coalition army, the infantry of Le Yi's part directly set up a large array of long wooden spears outside the Wuheng Heng camp in the direction of Chengyin City, preparing to block the Wuheng cavalry outside the four gates of Chengyin City to support the Wuheng Heng camp.
Finding that the Wuheng Heng camp sounded a fierce shouting and killing, more than 200 Wuheng cavalry outside the north gate of Chengyin City immediately urged the horses to support the Wuheng Heng camp, but they hit Le Yi's long wooden spear array, more than 200 Wuheng cavalry, lost dozens of horses in an instant, and the remaining more than 100 Wuheng cavalry, suddenly showed horror, and immediately turned their horses and fled into the distance, as for what Wuheng Heng camp, they had no way to care.
Soon more than 200 Wuheng cavalry outside the west gate of Chengyin City also urged their horses to rush to the Wuheng Heng camp, but they were still blocked by Le Yi's long wooden spear array, and after losing dozens of cavalry, they no longer rushed to the long wooden spear array, but bypassed the long wooden spear array and fled to the direction of the grassland.
The other two Wuheng cavalry outside the city gate, seeing the strength of the long wooden spear array, simply urged the horse to flee to the north, and the coalition of the 13 Wuheng tribes was completely defeated so far.
A deafening shout of killing suddenly sounded outside the city, which immediately alarmed the defenders of Chengyin City, and Zhou Kai personally stood on the north city wall and looked at the Wuheng Heng camp outside the city.
However, because of the distance and the fact that it was late at night, Zhou Kai could only hear the shouting of killing, and he didn't see the situation in the Wuheng Heng camp very clearly.
The military marquis next to Zhou Kai who was injured in the arm said excitedly: "My lord, reinforcements!" Looks like reinforcements are coming! Do we need to send troops out of the city to cooperate with reinforcements to attack the army of the Wuheng people? ”
Zhou Kai hesitated for a moment and said: "Now the situation outside the city is unknown, let's wait and see!" Besides, we don't have many people in the city! ”
Zhou Kai is worried that the shouting and killing outside now, if it is written and directed by the Wuheng people, then he will send soldiers and horses out of the city, and he will probably fall into the trap of the Wuheng people.
Zhou Kai didn't think that there would be reinforcements to save Chengyin City at this time, after all, the situation was not optimistic in several border military fortresses in Ju'an County, and there was no possibility of sending reinforcements at all.
The shouting and killing outside the city disappeared in less than half an hour, and then a military general dressed in exquisite iron armor rode a horse to the north gate of Chengyin City, and shouted at the city wall: "I am Zhao Ben, the captain under the command of General Liu Ji!" Now the Hu people outside Chengyin City have been defeated by our border army, my lord let the border soldiers in the city not have to panic, in order to avoid misunderstanding, our army from Qi County, Changping County, Yongzhou, will enter Chengyin County after dawn! ”
As soon as Zhao Ben's words fell, there was a shocking cheer on the north wall of Chengyin City.
"Reinforcements! It's really our reinforcements! ”
"The people of Wuheng have been defeated! We have been saved in the city of Yin! ”
"Woo, the Wuheng people have retreated, we have won!"
Zhou Kai, who was standing on the city wall, heard that it was the border team from Yongzhou that defeated thousands of Wuheng troops outside the city, and he couldn't help but believe it, you must know that according to the previous official letter to Chengyin County, there were two teams from Yongzhou to Chengyin County, each of which only had 500 soldiers and horses, even if the two border teams were added together, it was impossible to defeat thousands of Wuheng troops outside Chengyin City.
However, this Yongzhou border team did not ask to enter Chengyin City at night, and when it was dawn, Zhou Kai could see clearly whether it was really the Great Jin army and whether they had official documents from the imperial court!
Zhao Ce had a feeling that there should be a real Yongzhou border team outside the city, so Zhao Ce, who had been nervous for the past two days, finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Tie Fashi, the patriarch of the ghost wolf tribe, fled for more than ten miles with the cavalry of his tribe before he reined in the reins of the war horse, and this place already belonged to the grassland.
Tie Fashi immediately counted it, and the tribal cavalry who escaped with him immediately had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.
You must know that in order to conquer Cangyuan City, an important town of the Jin people, Tie Fashi brought out almost 1,600 cavalry from the ghost wolf tribe at once, and as a result, the ghost wolf tribe attacked the north wall of Chengyin City twice during the day, and lost almost half of the cavalry.
Now after the night attack of the Jin army, there are only less than 300 cavalry left who escaped with him, which is too great a loss for the ghost wolf tribe with a total of more than 2,000 cavalry.
"Patriarch, what are we going to do next? There should be some clansmen who have also escaped, are they waiting nearby? A commander of the Ghost Wolf Tribe said to Tie Fa Shi.
Tie Fa Shi hesitated for a moment with a gloomy face and said: "Don't wait here, we must return to the tribe immediately, now that our ghost wolf tribe has suffered such a huge loss here in Chengyin City, we must guard against those hungry wolves on the grassland, as for the fleeing tribal cavalry, they can also return to the tribe themselves!" ”
"Patriarch, all the Wuheng tribes of the coalition should have suffered a lot of losses this time, and they shouldn't have the energy to deal with our ghost wolf tribe, right?"
"I'm not worried about these tribes, but don't forget, the enemies who covet the grassland of our ghost wolf tribe are not only these Wuheng tribes!"
