Chapter 354 [Ambush Gao Gan]
A day later, when they arrived at the territory of Wenxi County, nearly 10,000 Wei soldiers rushed out of Wenxi County, and after a little contact with the Gao Gan Army, they saw that they were invincible, and quickly withdrew to the city of Wenxi County, and waited for reinforcements.
Gao Gan waved his horsewhip, pointed at Wenxi County, and laughed: "This is Wei Yan's men and horses, it is really a rabble, everyone says how powerful Wei Yan's Wei army is, in my opinion, it should be even more waste for those who are defeated under the Wei army!" ”
Just after Wenxi County, I saw a cavalry team rushing in front, about 200 people, all dressed as Yuan Jun, under the banner of protecting the Huns Zhonglang General Guo Yuan, the leader of the general is eight feet long, sturdy and burly, with a thin horse face and thin eyes, white face and beard, with a warm smile, shouting: "I am the commander of the Hun Zhonglang General Guo Yuan's commander Ma Zhong, and I am specially ordered by my general to welcome General Gao's army to Baibo Valley!" ”
Gao Gan laughed and said: "General Guo is bothered, then there is Captain Lao Madu, please lead the way ahead!" ”
That Ma Zhong led the two hundred Yuan troops to lead the way, and the high-ranking overseers followed.
More than two hours later, Ma Zhong brought Gao Gan's army into a valley, Ma Zhong pointed to this valley about three or four miles long and said to Gao Gan: "General, through this valley, walk more than ten miles, and you will be Baibo Valley!" ”
Gao Gan had seen the map of this area before he came, so he frowned and asked, "I remember that the official road from Wenxi County to Baibo Valley does not pass through here!" ”
Ma Zhong said unhurriedly: "General Gao, you are not a local, I asked the local to know that walking this valley can save half a day than the official road, and now the military situation is in full swing, and if you can reach Baibo Valley as soon as possible, you can get more results!" ”
Gao Gan nodded violently, he agreed with Ma Zhong's words, he originally wanted to arrive early, so that his 30,000 horses could make more contributions, and even make the credit of capturing Wei Yan.
But he looked at the overgrown weeds in the valley and the lush forests on both sides of the valley, so he asked with some concern: "The grass and trees in this valley cover the sky and the sun, lest the Wei army ambush here!" ”
Ma Zhong smiled indifferently: "Don't worry, general, we are from Baibo Valley to Wenxi to greet the general from this valley, if the general is not at ease, our two hundred people are willing to be the general's scout team and clear the roadblock for the general!" ”
Gao Gan looked back at his 30,000 horses, all of them were under his eager and hurried march, each of them was tired and out of breath, and said to Ma Zhong: "Then there is Captain Raoma!" ”
Ma Zhong took two hundred Yuan troops to search urgently, searched for two miles, and turned around to signal that there was nothing abnormal.
Gao Gan was overjoyed, and hurriedly let his 30,000 men and horses quickly keep up with Yuan Jun.
Gao Gan's 30,000 horses all entered the valley, and Gao Gan heard a loud bird cry suddenly sounded on the mountain peak on one side of the valley, and when he heard this bird cry, Ma Zhong's two hundred Yuan troops waved their horse whips and whipped them on the horse's back, urging the war horses under their crotch to quickly rush out of the valley.
Gao Gan was shocked when he saw the abnormal behavior of Ma Zhong's two hundred Yuan troops, and hurriedly turned around and asked his lieutenant Gao Wei: "Where are those Yuan soldiers who came to deliver the letter?" ”
Gao Wei pointed to the direction in which Ma Zhong ran: "Oh, they fled with Ma Zhong, it's strange, after the bird call, they ran forward like reincarnation!" ”
Gao Gan's face turned pale, and he screamed in fright: "I fell for Wei Yan's trick, there is an ambush!" Evacuate! ”
As soon as the military order for Gao Gan to retreat was given, the cavalry in front quickly retreated.
The infantry behind was forced by Gao Gan's military order to hurriedly follow the cavalry and did not dare to lag behind half a step, and the military order for Gao Gan to retreat had not yet reached these infantry formations, these infantry were still running forward, and the cavalry of the front army had already retreated, and the front army and rear army collided together, and they were suddenly blocked in the narrow valley, and there was a big chaos.
As soon as Gao Gan's words fell, he heard a clear voice coming from the hillside on the side of the valley: "Gao Gan, I only understand now, it's too late, release the arrow!" ”
On the slopes on both sides of the valley, under the green pines and cypresses, 4,000 Wei crossbow soldiers stood out, stretched out their bows and arrows, and shot down.
At the same time, 4,000 Wei saber and shield soldiers erected wooden shields to protect the crossbowmen from the arrows below and injure the crossbowmen.
Four thousand pikemen of the Wei army stopped in front of the sword and shield soldiers, and once Yuan soldiers climbed up, they poked them with their spears.
Gao Gan turned his horse's head and tried to flee in the direction of return, but he heard several loud bangs of landslides and cracks, and several large stones rolled down the hillside, firmly blocking the way to come.
Gao Gan and the cavalry under Gao Gan hurriedly turned their horses' heads again and rushed in the direction where Ma Zhong had fled.
There are no big rocks blocking the way in this direction, as long as you rush out of this valley mouth, there is a large open and flat wilderness, and the ten thousand cavalry of Gao Gan can be deployed.
When Gao Gan arrived at the valley mouth, he found that there were 4,000 Wei cavalry blocking the valley mouth.
The valley is already narrow, and the valley mouth has been specially repaired by the Wei army here, even narrower, each time a few cavalry rush out, and because every Yuan soldier wants to escape from this two-sided ambush of the valley, they rush to the valley mouth, you don't let me, I don't let you, crowded with each other, some tyrannical Yuan cavalry simply waved their knives and slashed at their comrades, the Yuan cavalry was in chaos, and the Yuan cavalry who rushed out of the valley mouth had no time to deal with the head-on blow of the Wei cavalry.
As soon as a Yuan cavalry came out of the valley, several Wei cavalry rode over, shot a few arrows, and shot the Yuan cavalry off their horses.
One of the Wei cavalrymen took out a horse sleeve from behind his back, threw it over, and captured the Yuan army's war horse.
Gao Gan sadly found that his 10,000 cavalry was simply sent to the Wei army.
A number of Yuan soldiers were more brave, rushing through the encirclement of several Wei cavalry, trying to cover more Yuan cavalry rushing out of the valley, but were killed by Dian Wei, Pan Feng and others.
Gao Gan rode his horse out of the valley and ran into the guy who called himself Ma Zhong.
Gao Gan was embarrassed and indignant, waved the dragon tooth knife, slashed at the man, and shouted: "Who are you?!" ”
The man swung out a knife to block Gao Gan's dragon tooth knife, and at the same time laughed and said, "I am Ma Zhong, the commander of the brigadier brigade under General Wei Pingnan!" Gao Gan Pifu, in my master's clever plan, don't hurry up and catch it! ”
Gao Gan said angrily: "If you want me to surrender to Wei Yan, the thief, first ask me if I agree with this knife?!" As he spoke, he continued to wave the dragon tooth knife in his hand and slashed at Ma Zhong, a knife as fast as a knife, a knife as ruthless as a knife, the dragon tooth knife was full of black gas, and there was a terrible sound of breaking the air.
Ma Zhong was captured by the strangeness of the dragon tooth knife, at first he was in a hurry, tired to deal with, and then remembered the scene when Pan Feng fought Guo Yuan, he began to clear his heart, knew how to deal with the dragon tooth knife, held his breath and concentrated, and concentrated on swinging his own knife, attacking instead of defending, it was also a knife as fast as a knife, a knife was as ruthless as a knife, and he put his life and death out of the way, and he must cut Gao Gan off the horse.
