Chapter 61: The Battle of the Ambush

A soldier quickly ran up the high slope in front of him, and saw Zhao Wuming on a war horse bowing and saluting: "Commander Sun has lured 10,000 enemies and is galloping in the direction of our army." Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ten thousand?". Fan Shun, who was beside Zhao Wuming, seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with this number. With all the difficulty, how could it be possible to lure only 10,000 enemy troops.

Zhao Wuming pondered, and the soldier saluted again when he saw this, turned around and walked down the high slope: "If it weren't for the low morale, this son would have already waved his army to storm the enemy's camp, so why bother to lure the enemy."

"Even if we destroy this 10,000 enemy army, there will be 40,000 enemy camps." Fan Shun thought of this tight time, and a wave of sorrow rose. The upcoming Pang Juan is like a big mountain, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Zhao Wuming's gaze turned to Fan Shun, and his gaze gradually became resolute: "Something is better than nothing, send an order to pay close attention to the enemy army, so as to meet Sun Buer's department at any time."

"No". The surrounding soldiers actually agreed and walked down the high slope.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and Sun Buji looked up and saw several dirt slopes, and a smile flashed at the corner of his mouth. Turning his head to the surroundings, he ordered: "Scatter".

As soon as the words fell, the three thousand cavalry scattered in all directions, and the Wei army's chariot was slightly stunned, not understanding why the enemy army was scattered, could it be that it was overwhelmed and turned into a rout. Thinking of this, the emperor waved the whip in his hand vigorously, and suddenly the horse neighed and fell into the trap, and the chariot fell to the ground with a crooked sound. The Wei soldiers behind hurriedly rushed up, and when they saw that they were about to hit the chariot, the Wei generals were in a hurry when they saw this. It took a lot of effort to stop the army.

When a group of Wei soldiers saw the chariot that fell to the ground in front of them, they breathed a sigh of relief. Such cunning enemies actually dug traps in advance, no wonder they just scattered one after another.

Just as the soldiers of the Wei State breathed a sigh of relief, countless arrows flew from the sky. A Wei soldier was then shot and fell in a pool of blood. Immediately after that, the earth-shattering drums rose from several high slopes, and a huge phalanx of spearmen appeared from the front, marching with neat steps and shouting to kill.

The Wei generals sensed that something was wrong and were about to order the entire army to retreat, when a famous archer appeared on several dirt slopes. There was a sound of breaking through the sky, and countless arrows shot from the sky. The general hurriedly shouted at the soldiers beside him: "Withdraw quickly."

As soon as the words fell, the Wei soldiers reacted and hurriedly turned around, intending to break out of the encirclement. But as soon as they turned around, they heard a deafening shout of killing. Countless Zhao State foot soldiers rushed down from the high slope. The Wei army was instantly divided and eaten away by the Zhao army.

On a dirt slope, Fan Shun looked at the scene below and shook his head slightly: "100,000 to 10,000, to have a heart or not, it's really a waste of our arrangement."

"Waste? I don't think so." Zhao Wuming's gaze looked at the bottom of the high slope, obviously disagreeing with Fan Shun's opinion.

Fan Shun's eyes showed a puzzled look, and when he was about to look at Zhao Wuming, he suddenly noticed that there was a change again under the high slope.

A huge phalanx under the banner of the Wei State appeared, and looking at the Wei soldiers who were divided by the Zhao State army in front, they hurriedly quickened their pace and pounced directly. The Wei soldiers were almost desperate, when they suddenly heard the shouting of killing from behind them, and subconsciously turned their heads. Seeing the arrival of friendly troops, he was overjoyed, and summoned all his strength to start fighting with the soldiers of Zhao State. Suddenly, the sound of swords and soldiers was loud, and there were not many soldiers of Zhao State who rushed down from the high slope. At this time, they were caught between two Wei armies, and they were outnumbered and fell in a pool of blood.

After a while, the two Wei armies began to merge, and then left behind their opponents and the chariots that were crooked to the ground, and ran in the direction in which they came. The soldiers of Zhao State did not pursue, as if they were waiting for something, and just watched them leave quietly.

Fan Shun's eyes widened on the high slope, and after repeated confirmation, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "How, how can there still be the Wei army."

"If you were the enemy's main commander and you suddenly found yourself in an ambush with 10,000 troops sent out, what would you choose?" Zhao Wuming did not answer directly, but began to ask about Fan Shun.

Fan Shun was transparent at a moment's notice, and the look of surprise just now gradually dissipated: "When the enemy's main general learns that our side is coming, he will definitely think that most of his troops are being dragged forward and engage Wei Ang's troops. Then judging by this, the strength of our army will not be too much. Otherwise, why would we go to great lengths to lure the enemy into an ambush? If I were the enemy's commander, I might have come to the nest."

"Yes, so I expect there to be another wave of enemy troops. In that case, why not wait for them to converge and destroy them in one fell swoop?" After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, he turned to look ahead. I don't know when, a pile of wood was already piled up in front, and two soldiers were holding torches aloft.

Fan Shun obviously knew Zhao Wuming's consciousness, and looked at the two soldiers holding torches and immediately ordered: "Ignite the fire."

"No". The two soldiers threw their torches into the pile of wood, and smoke rose in the gloomy sky like a soaring dragon.

The Wei army was fleeing, and when they heard the sound of no pursuing soldiers, a sense of foreboding rose in their hearts. Then I saw the smoke billowing from the sky, and I panicked. A soldier shouted to the general running beside him: "General, there is smoke in the sky."

"Pretend to be a ghost, pass on the order, and go full speed." The general was also panicked in his heart, but the army's heart could not be discharged, and he hurriedly gave an order.

30,000 Wei soldiers heard the military order. Pick up your pace again and run in the direction of the camp.

At this moment, a huge phalanx appeared in front of him. Sun Buer led 3,000 cavalry in front, and the infantry phalanx in the rear, and he had been waiting for a long time to see the situation. The generals of the Wei State hurriedly looked back, and at some point, a phalanx of foot soldiers under the banner of the Zhao State also appeared in the rear. Immediately after that, on the dirt slopes on the left and right, a famous archer appeared.

The word Zhongfu appeared in the minds of the generals of Wei, and it seemed that the chief general of Zhao was a master of ambushes: "Hurry up, rush over with the general."

As soon as the words fell, the Wei generals rushed in the direction of Sun Buer with 30,000 soldiers, intending to break out of the ambush and escape into the camp.

It was as if a dark cloud appeared in the sky, dimming the light. Countless arrows rained down on the Wei army. Immediately afterwards, Sun Buji slapped the horse's back heavily, and collided head-on with the cavalry's foot soldiers who were already behind. The phalanx of foot soldiers in the back also attacked from behind at the same time.

The front and back were flanked, plus a rain of arrows from the two dirt slopes on the left and right. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the Wei soldiers fought hard. But it was still difficult to reverse the defeat, and he gradually collapsed in a pool of blood.

Half an hour later, Zhao Wuming led his army to arrive. Seeing the battlefield full of Wei soldiers' bones, nearly 100,000 people suddenly fell silent. Immediately after that, a huge cheer sounded, sweeping away the shadow of the rout from Handan City, and the morale suddenly reached its peak.

Zhao Wuming patted his horse's back and led the army straight to the Wei army camp.
