Chapter 69: The Fall of Surabaya Pass (9)
After tea.
Wei Ning stared at the enemy army several miles away, and when he saw the other party waving the banner of the word 'Zang', he knew that it was Zang Lin's troops, and he had seen Zang Lin before, so he recognized it at a glance at this time.
And the soldiers under the city all turned around at this time, jumped forward and rushed to the rear, watching their movements, as if they were really going to have a life-and-death battle with the enemy.
Wei Ning looked at Li Ran and said, "Maybe we're suspicious. ”
If the more than 10,000 defeated troops under the city really fought with Zang Lin, it is enough to show that it is not the enemy in disguise, as for some of the soldiers who are in different spirits, it is very likely that Jiang Yun left soldiers outside the camp, these soldiers did not participate in the battle, but saw the defeated soldiers in the camp come out, so they returned together.
Wei Ning thought so in his heart.
Li Ran didn't say anything, he was just conjecture before, and he didn't dare to draw conclusions.
"General, shall we open the city?"
Wei Ning hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer." ”
"Kill!"
In front of the army, Yu Yue picked up his spear and led the soldiers towards Zang Lin, and Zang Lin, who had just come here, was thinking about what to do, because the soldiers and horses in front of him blocked his way, in a word, he followed too closely.
But at this time, the soldiers in front suddenly turned around and killed, which made him a little unexpected, and he didn't react at once, secretly saying What is the situation?
"What's going on?"
Zang Lin asked loudly.
Looking at the Chen Fang soldiers who were rushing towards him, Zang Lin looked surprised.
He is now in great difficulty, neither to fight, nor to fight; He knew very well in his heart that this was not the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but Chen Fang, his own people, how could he kill each other?
At the moment when he hesitated, Chen Fang's soldiers and horses advanced more than ten zhang, and they were only a stone's throw away from here.
"General, it's a battle or a retreat, the 'enemy' is coming soon!"
Beside Zang Lin, a captain said.
Enemy?
He recited these two words repeatedly, and finally took a sharp breath: "Chen Fang, you did it first, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite." ”
"General, take your mind quickly, if we don't attack again, we will suffer a big loss."
The captain on the side said anxiously.
Zang Lin finally made up his mind, and waved his spear: "Kill, kill me!" ”
In fact, at this moment, he also considered turning around and retreating, but after thinking about it, he gave up again, according to the current situation, even if he retreated, he would be pursued by Chen Fang, and the other party was cavalry, so instead of retreating and being chased and killed, it was better to fight!
It's just that he doesn't understand, why on earth is this?
"Kill!"
The lieutenant drank sharply and took the lead in the front kill; And at this moment, behind Zang Lin, including Zang Lin himself, all launched a charge.
Because the other party was wearing enemy armor, Zang Lin's soldiers thought they were fighting the enemy, and they didn't know that it was their own people who rushed on the opposite side.
Da-da-da-da
The distance between the two armies is more than 20 zhang, which is enough for the cavalry under Chen Fang's command to exert its due effect, the cavalry is in the momentum, and Chen Fang's soldiers have done it; Although they are not good at bowing and horses, and they can even be said to be cavalry, these war horses are the best sweat and blood horses in the four frontiers, with a fast start and good explosiveness.
10,000 infantry, against about 13,000 cavalry, the consequences can be imagined; If Zang Lin's command was full of strong men with spears, and some of them were fighting, but he was originally an ambush in the valley on the order of Jiang Yiyuan, so the soldiers were all bows and arrows in their hands, and using bows and arrows to fight in close combat was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
"Puff puff!"
The two armies were scuffled together, and the soldiers under Zang Lin's command all abandoned their bows and arrows, and drew their swords at their waists to meet the enemy, but the swords were still short, and compared with the cavalry with spears in their hands, they were obviously in a bad situation.
Suddenly, with only one face, Zang Lin's soldiers were slaughtered by Chen Fang's front row cavalry, as soon as the spear came out, there was no competition, only the sound of sharp weapons inserting into the flesh and bones was heard, and Zang Lin's soldiers fell one by one.
There is no luck on the battlefield, even if the brothers fight at this time, it is difficult to distinguish, the soldiers are fighting to the death in order to survive, of course, it is a desperate battle, such as Chen Fang's soldiers, they know that it is their own people who are fighting with them, but they will not be soft, because if they are soft, then it is very likely that they will die next; In order to survive, I had to do my best.
And all this, Wei Ning on the city gate saw it in his eyes, and it was only at this time that he was convinced that it was not the enemy outside the city, but his own people!
Wei Ning looked at the soldiers on the side and said, "Beat the drums and cheer for the brothers in the city!" ”
"No."
Knock knock
As soon as the war drums sounded, the cavalry killed even more happily, and even Chen Fang and Yu Yue went into battle in person, constantly harvesting their lives.
It's nothing for Yu to jump, he has just surrendered, and he is not familiar with the soldiers, but Chen Fang's heart is constantly trembling every time he kills someone, he doesn't know if what he did is right, and he doesn't know what kind of consequences he will face afterwards, he only knows that now he has to win Wei Ning's trust no matter what, this is the purpose of his here!
"Report."
After the tea, with a shout, a soldier quickly ran up to the city pass and came to Wei Ning's side.
The soldier said: "General, twenty puffs of wolf smoke were found ten miles away, and the billowing black gas went straight to the sky!" ”
"Twenty shares? So much? ”
Li Ran was shocked.
As early as a few days ago, Wei Ning left a group of soldiers on the top of the mountain ten miles away, as long as they found that there was an enemy coming towards Surabaya Pass, they would light wolf smoke to warn, a wolf smoke represents 10,000 soldiers, these 20 wolf smoke, is to represent 200,000 troops!
Wei Ning waved his hand and motioned for the scouts to stand back.
"It seems that Jiang Yiyuan is here, let the brothers prepare to defend the city."
"No."
Wei Ning looked at the battle outside the city, and no longer doubted the identity of Yu Yue and the others, because at this point in the battle, Zang Lin's 10,000 troops were almost killed, and Zang Lin himself was also wounded, and fled to the rear with the remaining more than 1,000 remnants.
Wei Ning said: "If the cavalry under the city is pretended to be the enemy, then they will definitely pretend to be flawed when they fight with Zang Lin, and Zang Lin will also take the opportunity to retreat, but Zang Lin is not defeated, and the 10,000 soldiers under him are almost exhausted before retreating, which shows that the city is indeed Jiang Yun's men and horses, and it is absolutely true." ”
"Li Ran, quickly open the door and welcome the army into the city."
Wei Ning ordered.
Li Ran nodded, and quickly went downstairs to give an order, asking the soldiers in charge of guarding the gate under the city to open the city gate and lower the drawbridge.
How did Wei Ning know how serious the consequences of his decision were, and even he almost died!
The enemy did not hesitate to use the 90,000 army as bait and burned Jiang Yun's 50,000 iron cavalry; Now with 10,000 soldiers under Zang Lin's command to win Wei Ning's trust, it can be seen that Pang Yi has also paid a painful price, if this can't capture Surabaya Pass, then the rebellion is afraid that it will be difficult to complete.
"General Yu, Wei Ning is here to make amends to you, please lead the brothers into the city quickly, the enemy is coming in a blink of an eye, and the outside of the city is extremely dangerous."
Seeing Yu Yue come to the city pass again, Wei Ning shouted loudly.
At the same time, the drawbridge was lowered, and the gates creaked and slowly opened.
