Chapter 279: Ambush the Enemy Army
The Hexi cavalry was well-equipped, and each armed with a horizontal knife would cut down on anyone, killing the Houyan people without the power to fight back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the midst of the melee, Kuai En didn't know when he killed Murong Zhang.
He held a horizontal knife with a thunderous momentum, roaring and slashing at the frightened Murong Zhang.
As a result, King Danyang of Houyan only had time to scream miserably before he covered his throat and rolled off his horse, dying.
"The King's ......"
Murong Zhang's death made the Xianbei people panic even more, and they had already fallen behind, but now they were completely collapsed.
This raid battle lasted less than an hour before it ended, and the Hexi Army fought cleanly!
After the war, Wang Zhenwei and other Hexi people will be warmly welcomed by the Jinyang civil and military.
What made Murong You even happier was that the people of Hexi not only did not make any excessive demands, but also said very righteously that they would exterminate Zhang Chong's remnants as soon as possible.
The people of Hexi are so well aware of the righteousness that they left a very good impression on Murong You, the Duke of Wuxiang.
Suddenly, Murong You felt that the lord of the country ordered him to secretly watch out for Hexi, and he was really a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
So much so that after the war, when he reported to Murong Yong, he vigorously praised Hexi's benevolence and righteousness, and also advocated an alliance with Hexi to resist Houyan.
Through scout exploration and careful study of the local terrain, Wang Zhenwei soon discovered a natural ambush site.
As a result, an ambush battle plan gradually took shape in Wang Zhenxie's mind.
In order to further weaken the forces of the Western Yan, Wang Zhenwei demanded that 3,000 men be drawn from the Jinyang garrison to participate in the battle.
In view of the fact that Zhang Chongbu is at the end of his rope, participating in the war at this time is equivalent to brushing up his military exploits.
Of course, Murong You would not refuse such a good thing, and then he selected three thousand elites from the defenders and handed them over to the deputy general.
……
On a narrow and curved valley road ridge, this valley road is the only way for the Houyan people to retreat to Hebei through Jingcheng.
Tan Daoji lay quietly in the grass, his black face covered with haggardness.
Probably bored, he tore off a piece of grass root, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
At this time, there were all Hexi soldiers lying beside him, with a pair of bright eyes, staring at the bottom of the valley without blinking.
Everyone had already prepared their longbows and crossbows, and their broadswords and longhair were already unsheathed, waiting for the order to attack.
On that day, everyone stopped in Jinyang for a while, and the 15,000 allied troops under the command of Wang Zhenwei finally arrived here before the enemy after a day and night.
Since the time of Chen, Tan Daoji has been lurking on the ridge of this rugged and narrow valley with the allied soldiers, preparing to ambush Zhang Chong's nearly 8,000 enemies.
Everyone has been in ambush for nearly three hours now, and according to the previous report of the spies, Zhang Chongbu's forward has arrived at the valley mouth.
It's just that he didn't expect Zhang Chong himself to be quite vigilant, worried about being ambushed, so he only stopped the army at the mouth of the valley and sent a small group of scout cavalry to investigate.
In order to prevent the enemy from detecting it, the lord general Wang Zhenevil repeatedly ordered the people not to move or make a sound.
Some enemy scouts who came to reconnoiter should also be spared, so as not to lose a big one because of a small one.
The soldiers had no choice but to endure it for the time being, waiting for the enemy to take the initiative to enter the valley.
"Click, click, click......"
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came for a while, and Tan Daoji's mood suddenly became nervous.
Speaking of which, this was the second time he had participated in actual combat, but he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and even the hand holding the handle of the knife couldn't help but tighten a little, the green tendons on his arms suddenly appeared, his breathing was a little short, and his body gradually straightened.
This time, he followed Wang Zhen's evil into Jin, which opened his eyes.
Not only did I see Wang Zhen's evil commanding talent, but I also personally felt a Hexi army that was completely different from the traditional army.
This time, it was still the Houyan scout team that entered the valley, and they searched and advanced in the canyon.
As if sensing that Tan Daoji was too nervous, Xue Tong, who was lying in front of him, immediately turned around, looked at Tan Daoji, and comforted his friend with his eyes.
Gao Jinzhi next to him also gently touched Tan Daoji with his arm, and smiled silently at him with his big mouth, his expression clearly telling him not to be nervous.
Tan Daoji touched his nose, and there was a hint of embarrassment on his face.
“#¥%! _¥#¥#_%%#”
There was a sound of Houyan scouts talking in the canyon, Tan Daoji grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, where can he understand Xianbei dialect?
I can only pray secretly in my heart: "Don't be discovered by the scouts!" ”
……
At this moment, outside the valley mouth, Zhang Chongzheng was sitting quietly on a boulder, holding a horsewhip in his right hand, gently tapping his leather boots, patiently waiting for the scout's return.
The adjutant general next to him looked restless and kept walking around in place.
Looking at the appearance of the deputy general, Zhang Chong was quite impatient, and said coldly: "I said that you are also a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, why can't you hold your breath?" ”
"In the past, King Danyang always said that he was a general, he should be calm and calm, and he could not panic in any major matter."
"General, you said that these generals know!"
"But this time I went to Jinyang, not only failed to complete His Majesty's trust, but also folded the King of Danyang under Jinyang City, how to explain to Your Majesty after I go back?"
Zhang Chong was about to say a few words, when suddenly a small colonel stepped forward to report.
"General Yu, according to the scouts, no trace of the enemy was found in the canyon ahead."
"General, since we haven't found any enemies, should we hurry up and withdraw to Hebei?"
"Otherwise, once the enemy catches up, we will be in danger of being annihilated."
Zhang Chong glanced at the deputy general and didn't say anything, and was silent for a long time before giving an order in a deep voice.
"All the troops are out of the way." After saying this, he turned on his horse and walked towards the valley.
……
Through the grass, the Hexi Army, which was on standby, was watching the canyon closely.
At this moment, a Houyan army was slowly moving forward in the valley in a winding formation, and the whole team spread for several miles and could not be seen at a glance.
The valley is quiet, and the "clanging" sound of the friction of armor and weapons when the Houyan people march, as well as the crisp sound of horses' hooves trampling on the ground, can be heard clearly.
Wang Zhenwei looked down like a cheetah, as if it was the prey in his palm.
In his hand he held a horizontal knife made of Uzi steel, the blade of which emitted a dark light, as if it wanted to swallow everything in the world.
Suddenly, there was a big man with a beard next to Wang Zhenxi, who was the young general Kuang En.
Kuang En crawled next to Wang Zhenxi, and said in his ear: "Zuo Sima, the enemy has all entered the valley, can you start?" ”
Wang Zhenwei nodded and whispered: "It's okay to start, tell the brothers to fight hard, don't let go of an enemy!" ”
Kuang En bowed slightly, and responded: "Obey!" ”
With that, he crawled away like an agile viper.
……
With a "whoosh", a feathered arrow slashed through the sky, and "poof" shot into the chest of a Houyan soldier on horseback.
Hearing a scream of "ah", the knight fell to the ground with a "plop" and died after a few convulsions of his hands and feet, slowly spilling bright red blood from his mouth.
The sudden situation startled the people around them, and before everyone could react otherwise, they saw the feather arrows flying in the sky coming in an instant, and when they slid through the air, a heart-pounding sound sounded from breaking the air.
Soon, people continued to fall from their horses and fall to the ground, and the foot soldiers who followed the cavalry were also shot to the ground by arrows, and in an instant the screams of the soldiers resounded in the canyon.
The sound of the bowstring sounded like a burst bean, and wave after wave of arrows flew towards the canyon, and the sound of killing was suddenly heard all around.
The horses were awakened, screaming and running wildly, trampling the soldiers' bodies on a rampage, many Houyan soldiers were trampled by the panicked horses and were killed or wounded, and the valley echoed with the screams of the Houyan people before they died, and the whole valley was in chaos at once.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, we are ambushed!" The Houyan people began to shout and scream.
After a while, the Yan army was in chaos, and the soldiers looked blankly at the top of the mountain, but they could not see where the enemy was, and fear permeated the entire team.
Listening to the panicked shouts of the soldiers around him, Zhang Chong realized that they had been ambushed.
He hurriedly grabbed the reins, reined in the frightened horses, stabilized them, and shouted: "Don't mess around, dismount quickly, the shield-bearer is in formation." ”
"You hurry to the front and inform the soldiers of the forward battalion that you must rush out no matter what, or we will all die here!"
"No!" The lieutenant replied, and then spurred forward
At this moment, pieces of sassal wood and stones rolled down from the mountain.
Every piece of wood that comes down will overwhelm a piece of people.
The big rolling stones also tumbled down from the mountain, and with the help of the impact of the mountain, they rolled straight to the valley, and no one could stop them everywhere they went, overwhelming a group of soldiers
