Chapter 55: Prelude
"The Jin general in front listen, quickly dismount and die!"
Zhao Dan, who was riding on a horse, pointed a gun at Zuna's back and whined, this small group of Jin cavalry had completely angered him, and he always felt that there was a fire in his heart that could not be released, and secretly swore that he would not give up until he caught that hateful Jin general.
At this time, Zhao Dan, who was carried away by anger, didn't realize that he was stepping towards Zu Ti and Wei Shuo to dig a trap for him. Of course, not all the enemies are stupid, some generals have reacted, but their main generals are staring at the Jin army general in front of him with full attention, completely ignoring the reminders of others.
The 3,000 Hu cavalry that followed behind Zuna galloped through the night like the wind......
Wei Shuo, Zu Ti and Zhang Erlang, Zu Yue, Cao Hong and others stood on a hill, looking at Hu Qi who was entering the ambush circle from a distance. The others are nothing, but Zhang Erlang, who experienced the big war for the first time, seems extremely excited.
I saw Zhang Erlang dancing happily, pulling others to shout continuously, "General Zu, Brother Wei, you are so powerful!" Those Hu people have really entered our ambush circle. ”
But he was excited for a long time before he realized that the others were indifferent to it at all. Zu Ti and Wei Shuo are still the old gods, and Cao Hong also has that cool face. He scratched his head, and some of the second monks were confused, but fortunately, Zu Yue pointed out for the sake of the two of them having killed the enemy together: "Introducing Zhao Gu's forward into the predetermined ambush circle is really a piece of cake for my eldest brother. ”
"Don't say that Zhao Gu and Wang Sang are not worthy of my eldest brother's attention, even if Wang Mi comes in person, my eldest brother will not take it seriously. If Shi Le and Liu Yao were replaced, my eldest brother might still be cautious. ”
Zhang Erlang rubbed his hands a little embarrassed, feeling a little embarrassed. couldn't help but secretly argue: No wonder Brother Wei always said that he lacked knowledge! The Three Thousand Hu people were a behemoth in the eyes of others, but for people as amazing as Brother Wei and General Zu, it was really not difficult to deal with him.
"It seems that the enemy has entered the general's ranks, just waiting for our army to go and reap the fruits of victory!" Wei Shuo couldn't help but be happy when he saw that the enemy had taken the bait, and admired Zu Ti's ability to command the battle even more. To be honest, if this battle is handed over to Wei Shuo to command, although it can also achieve the purpose of luring the enemy, it is by no means as light as Zu Ti showed.
"Next, it depends on the performance of the spearmen under the command of the guard Cao You, and General Ben is looking forward to their duel with the Hu cavalry." Zu Ti looked at the inky night in the distance, and said with some expectation in his eyes.
……
Zhao Dan had just turned a corner on his horse, and suddenly found that the cavalry of the Jin army in front of him had disappeared.
"Phew!" Zhao Dan stopped his horse, and the mount under his crotch seemed to feel something, and he looked restless.
At this time, Zhao Dan's personal soldiers and his subordinates chased after him, and a personal soldier came to his side and whispered: "General, something seems wrong!" Could it be that the enemy deliberately lured us here? General, why don't we withdraw to Liuxian first? ”
At this time, Zhao Dan felt that something was wrong even if he was stupid, but after all, he was a heavy general of the Xiongnu Han State with a large army, and he had killed the Jin army many times on the battlefield, so how could he be frightened by a small ambush by the Jin army and turn around and flee? If his colleagues knew about it, how could he Zhao Dan still mix in the circle.
I saw Zhao Dan glaring at him and said, "Withdraw?" Why withdraw? Is it because there is an ambush of the Jin army ahead? Hum! It's not that the general looks down on the Jin army, with the 3,000 cavalry in the hands of the general, even if he encounters 30,000 Jin troops, what can he do? Ben was going to kill them in the ass. ”
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately fell silent and did not dare to raise any objections.
But after all, Zhao Dan had experienced many battles, and although he was also carried away by anger at this time, he still cautiously sent small groups of scouts around, and the main force of the army gathered together and walked slowly. In this way, even if he is surrounded, he can rely on the impact of the cavalry under his command to break out of the encirclement.
After about a stick of incense, the scout who inquired about the news in front came to report that the main force of the Jin army had been found three miles ahead, with about 3,000 men and horses. Zhao Dan immediately became excited when he heard this, in his opinion, the three thousand Jin army was not enough for him to stuff his teeth, and immediately ordered the whole army to speed up the action.
Zhao Dan personally led 3,000 Hu cavalry, under the leadership of the scout, turned a canyon to the place where the Jin army was found, and looked up, only to see the 3,000 Jin army waiting in a neat battle formation. Two thousand spearmen bore the brunt of the attack, six hundred sword and shield men lined up on the left and right flanks, and behind them were longbowmen with bows.
Looking at the awe-inspiring Jin army, Zhao Dan was shocked, and suddenly found that something was really wrong, this group of Jin troops was completely different from what he had encountered before, just from the momentum alone, he was definitely a rare elite in the Jin army. In order to test the strength of the Jin army in front of him, Zhao Dan waved his hand, and the three centurions rushed forward with hundreds of cavalry on the buttocks.
"Kill!"
"Rush!"
The shouts of killing in the sky suddenly broke the silence of the night, and one by one the bearded people with hideous faces rushed up excitedly with spears. In their impression, the Jin army was very weak, and basically they could disrupt the formation of the Jin infantry with a single charge. Once the infantry on the battlefield is out of formation, they will inevitably be slaughtered by the cavalry and have no power to fight back.
However, this time it seemed to be a little different from before, the Jin army on the opposite side was too quiet, and the spear on the ground was like a life-killing pen in the judge's hand, exuding a terrible aura, which made Hu Qi who launched the charge a little timid for a while......
"Ready! Put! ”
"Whoosh!"
Just when Hu Qi was frightened, the longbowmen behind him were the first to exert their might. Although the four hundred longbowmen could not cover the entire battlefield, there were still many Hu horsemen who were shot and fell from their horses. However, because the two armies were too close, the longbowmen only fired two rounds of arrows, and the enemy cavalry rushed to the front of the formation.
However, there was a scene on the battlefield that stunned both the enemy and us, and as soon as some Hu cavalry rushed to the front of the Jin army, they were stabbed down by the spearmen who were waiting for the Jin army. No one had imagined that the previously inconspicuous spearmen would have such great power when they stabbed their spears in unison.
"Kill!"
"Thorn!"
"Ahh
"Poof!"
The Hu people who were stabbed off their horses and did not die almost crawled away from this forest of spears, but they forgot about the two columns of sword and shield soldiers in formation, and saw the sword and shield soldiers rushing forward with shields and ring-headed knives, and slashed those lone Hu people.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Hu cavalry were wiped out by the Jin army on the opposite side. The enemy general Zhao Dan was a little dumbfounded and looked at the bloody scene on the battlefield, and suddenly felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.
Why don't you return to Liuxian County? This was the first time Zhao Dan had the idea of escaping when he faced the Jin army.
It's a pity that it's all too late, when the tentative Hu Qi was eliminated, I only heard the shouts of killing all around, and there was a force of more than 10,000 Jin troops blocking the way of Zhao Dan and others, and at the same time, countless archers appeared around, and even Zhao Dan couldn't help but panic in the face of this sudden situation.
Don't look at Zhao Dan's big words at the beginning, he didn't take the Jin army in his eyes, but he also knew that he had committed a taboo this time, and he fell for the other party's plan to lure the enemy into depth. Looking at the surrounding terrain and the deployment of the Jin army, Zhao Dan immediately figured it out, it was obvious that this was a trap deliberately set by the generals of the Jin army on the opposite side.
Caught in a heavy siege, the three thousand Hu cavalry suddenly caused a commotion, but fortunately, they had all gone through many battles, but they were not too flustered.
Even Zu Ti couldn't help but admire it a little, and sighed again and again: "The Hu cavalry on the opposite side is worthy of being a veteran of a hundred battles, and he hasn't messed up in such a desperate situation. ”
Wei Shuo smiled and said: "No matter how powerful the Hu people are, he can't fight General Zu!" This time, I think they can't escape! When are we going to attack? ”
"Wait, the enemy's momentum is still there at this time, and a rash attack will only increase the losses. Although our army has the upper hand for a while, the Hu cavalry on the opposite side is not a vegetarian, and if too much pressure is exerted to arouse the hatred of the other side, will it not be self-defeating? Wait, the enemy will not be more patient than we are. ”
