Chapter 205: Fierce Battle in the Forest (Three Watches)

Xu Deyan is commanding tens of thousands of rebels in the forest to besiege the Laihu'er Department, this qiē is carefully designed by him, first let hundreds of small soldiers flee for their lives, thinking that it is a bait, and then the main force sets up an ambush here, he knows very well that if he does not kill a horse pistol to defeat the pursuing troops of the Sui army, he is afraid that he will escape to Songjiang and will not be able to escape the end.

Today's battle, he and Liu Yuanjin also gave up their capital, all the elite troops are in this forest The road is more than three miles long, he deliberately arranged hundreds of small soldiers outside the forest to camp and set up a village, the Sui army saw that there were people harvesting again, rushed into the woods, three thousand cavalry squeezed into a group, covering the path between the entire dense forest, at this time Xu Deyan raised the fire as a signal, ambushed soldiers in all directions, blocked the way out of the Sui army at both ends, and wanted to make a dumpling.

Laihu'er was carried away by the victory for a while, but after all, he is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and he has a strong adaptability, and quickly ordered all his subordinates to fight on horseback, in this dark and narrow space in the forest, riding on a horse can not play any role, can only be beaten passively, and the cavalry is also scared away after getting off the horse, disrupting the offensive momentum of the rebels, and after paying more than 200 casualties, it gradually gathered into a large group in the middle of the dense forest, and formed a battle.

These Sui cavalry is light cavalry, in order to pursue speed, there are no armor and cavalry like heavy cavalry, and most of the clothes they wear are ordinary chain mail or even leather armor, but they win with a horse lance in their hands, and after forming a formation, it is difficult for the rebels with short weapons to rush to the close for a while, although Xu Deyan and Liu Yuanjin have more than 10,000 people in the department, but there are only thousands of people who can fight on the front line, and the people behind can only wave the flag and shout to strengthen the momentum.

Time. The Sui army has stabilized its position. Begin under the cover of a bow and crossbow. Slowly expanding outward, and Liu Yuanjin was also anxious, personally went into battle, and launched assaults again and again with his own guards to the front of the Sui army, relying on this wave of outlaw assaults, he finally entered the front row of the Sui army's long lance phalanx.

Both sides are fighting at a critical moment. Suddenly heard the sound of drums and horns outside the forest, Xu Deyan's face changed greatly, and he looked at the dense forest in the west, the fire was soaring, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky, and he saw a group of Sui troops in a dense spear phalanx from a distance, rushing towards the battlefield in the forest from outside the forest, and before them, hundreds of Sui army horses were attacking back and forth, and they couldn't stop it.

The rebel soldiers, who had been fighting for a long time, were now at their limit. Originally, he gritted his teeth and followed Sui Jun in the forest to fight for his last breath, and Liu Yuanjin and Xu Deyan went into battle in person. The other sent out all the guards around him, and he was left with only one herald, and now there was not a single soldier at his disposal, so he could only watch as his soldiers threw away their weapons and fled in all directions.

Some guys even panicked, directly pulled a few horses that had been released by the nursery, and rode on the neck of the horse, most of these rebels from the south could not ride horses, except for more than 100 people who had been cavalrymen before and fled from their horses, many others were helpless, and even some immediately picked up four or five people, but they couldn't walk half a step.

Xu Deyan had seen the defeat of the Southern Dynasty army at the head of Jiankang City, and he also knew that a military order was useless at this time, so he didn't say a word, he jumped directly on the war horse next to him, and regardless of the kind of eyes of the herald soldier next to him, he rushed directly towards Lin Dong.

Wang Huaqiang stood under the firelight of Lin Xi, the firelight shone on his gloomy face, he sighed secretly in his heart, but unfortunately he had too few troops in his hands, and he could not send a thousand people to go around the back of the forest to block the enemy's retreat, so that there would still be some fish that escaped from the net, and this battle could not form a total annihilation, and the mysterious enemy army division did not know whether it could be caught, it was really a pity.

Liu Quan rode over and said with a smile: "Wang joins the army, it seems that the enemy army has collapsed, look at my five hundred people, do you want to go in and chase the fleeing enemy now?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart suddenly moved, and said to Liu Quan: "You find a way to bypass the side of the forest, now the forest is full of people, your five hundred horses will be blocked by an inch, bypass, directly pursue the enemy army fleeing to the east, all the way to Songjiang, if the enemy army has abandoned the city, occupy it, if the enemy army closes the city gate, just wait for our army to arrive, do not attack the city without authorization!"

Liu Quanquan was overjoyed and had to be ordered to leave, while Wang Huaqiang clamped the horse's belly between his legs and rode into the forest.

Feng Xiaoci was directing the soldiers to line up, and along the way, there were constantly rebel soldiers who dared to resist and were stabbed to death with spears, and more rebels knelt on the ground, took off their leather armor and helmets, raised their weapons high, and surrendered on the spot.

Feng Xiaoci's rear soldiers seized their weapons and escorted them to the forest to sit together, let them untie each other's belts and tie their hands, and then left three or five guards for every hundred or so surrendered soldiers, and advanced down the way, but also captured more than 2,000 prisoners.

When Wang Huaqiang rode into the forest, the battle was basically over, and when he heard the horn of reinforcements and saw the collapse of the enemy army, he ordered to disperse the formation and chase him in an all-round way, and he also saw Liu Yuanjin who rushed to the front of the rebels, and he was brave, so aiming at him was to shoot an arrow directly, but Liu Yuanjin pushed the arrow away, and only shot a small soldier on the side.

When the war was in chaos, Liu Yuanjin relied on his martial arts to open a bloody road, grabbed a horse and ran out to Lin Dong, nowhere to be found, came to protect his own people in the middle, and couldn't catch up, so he could only slap his thigh fiercely and see him far away......

Wang Huaqiang rode his horse and walked in front of Lai Hu'er, laughed, hugged his fists and saluted: "Come General, congratulations on your victory in this battle, and make new contributions!"

As soon as Lai Hu'er looked at Wang Huaqiang, he instinctively frowned: "Why are you?!"

Wang Huaqiang smiled and said: "The last general ordered the last general to lead a thousand cavalry to meet the general, and the last general saw the general Huwei along the way, killing a lot of enemies, and I didn't think there would be any problems, so I followed far behind, and I didn't find that there was a battle here until outside this dense forest, so I beat the drum outside and marched into the army, with the momentum of the general." ”

Wang Huaqiang knew that Laihu'er had always had a prejudice against him, and anyway, the battle situation would be reported to Yang Su afterwards, and he would not suffer a loss if he praised him verbally here.

But Lai Hu'er didn't appreciate it at all, and snorted heavily: "Wang joins the army, do you want to say that you saved my three thousand subordinates today?" ”

Wang Huaqiang hurriedly waved his hand: "How dare you, the last general only brought a thousand people this time, and he can only beat the side drum to strengthen his momentum, the general's three thousand athletes, even if they don't need the help of the general, they can defeat the enemy army." ”

Lai Hu'er was a little happier in his heart, and nodded with satisfaction: "Wang joins the army, it seems that you have made progress better than before, and remember what you just said in front of the marshal." ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled and nodded: "Definitely." ”

Lai Hu'er glanced at Feng Xiaoci, who was gathering troops, and his eyebrows moved: "Wang joined the army, you said you brought a thousand people over?" But I only saw four or five hundred people, and they were all infantry, what is going on? ”

Wang Huaqiang said: "The last general was afraid that the enemy army would slip through the net, so he let the five hundred cavalry who were beating drums and cheering outside the forest go around the woods first and chased them in the direction of Songjiang City. Come to the general, the order given to me by the marshal is here to assist and respond to you, the military situation is urgent just now, and it is too late to meet and discuss with you, so the last general gave the order first, please forgive me for the overstep!"

Lai Hu'er finally understood that Wang Huaqiang was sending someone to rob the merit, he was ambushed in this forest, and he won the battle hard, this is what thousands of pairs of eyes saw, even if Wang Huaqiang repeated what he just said to himself in front of Yang Su, these soldiers he brought would definitely not agree, the thief just now had already fled, if Wang Huaqiang's men were caught again, then this time he would find nothing.

Lai Hu'er gritted his teeth, glared at Wang Huaqiang fiercely, and sneered: "Wang is really resourceful when he joins the army, come to admire, the military situation is urgent, come to a certain first, don't pass it first!"

After he finished speaking, he shouted directly to the herald behind him: "Hurry up and give the order, General Liu of the front army will immediately gather the headquarters and pursue in the direction of Songjiang on horseback, General Li of the Chinese army must also set off after a moment, General Zhang of the rear army will leave 500 people to clean up the battlefield and guard the prisoners, and the rest will also attack within a quarter of an hour after General Li sets off, there must be no mistake!"
