Chapter 576: Surprise Attack
The flood was like a beast of prey, and the roar shook the sky, and the sound came. The recruits facing the flood ahead ran away crying and shouting. And the people in the rear who had been torn off, Niu Hongzhi, were gloating at all this, and no one stepped forward to help.
In fact, even if they want to help, they can't, under this kind of power of heaven and earth, human power is simply minimal.
Li Jun, who was riding on the tree, had a bloody face, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and a burst of pain came, this time Li Jun was embarrassed, he clenched his fists and smashed his fist on the tree pole.
Suddenly, a boulder was swept by the flood and hit the tree pole, shaking for a while, Li Jun hurriedly clenched his hands and gasped.
Niu Qing was on the top of the mountain, accompanying the generals to look at the scene in front of them, and the generals laughed in unison, which was really refreshing. There was only Niu Qing alone, but he didn't smile, and his face was solemn.
He knew that after Li Jun's pass, the real battle was about to begin, and he was facing his father, if he was defeated and died, then his father's white-haired man would send the black-haired man, and his heart would be very painful.
However, if he succeeds in breaking through, then the emperor will inevitably think that his father is cheating for personal gain, and when the time comes, he will inevitably be implicated.
The water slowed down slightly, but the river had been washed away, and the stream behind it continued to come in, but for a while, the water could not be reduced. Although Niu Qing was anxious, he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only wait.
Niu Hongzhi is also worried, but he is worried about Niu Qing. Although he didn't intend to show favoritism, he hoped in his heart that Niu Qing could defeat him and break out.
In a gloomy mood, Niu Hongzhi and Zhang Fan chatted without a word. Suddenly, there was an urgent report outside the tent, and Fang Ning attacked with all his strength.
Niu Hongzhi was slightly startled, hurriedly got up and walked out of the camp, and quickly came to the front of the battlefield.
Not far ahead, Fang Ning's people were like crazy, and they actually used both cavalry and infantry to rush over together. Niu Hongzhi saw it in his eyes, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
Judging from Fang Ning's rapid offensive, they must have gotten the news and knew the situation over there. However, it was nearly twenty miles away from there. In such a short period of time, how did Fang Ning get the news? This made Niu Hongzhi very puzzled.
In fact, Niu Hongzhi didn't know that the dark lines of the Supervision Department were all over the place, although the last time he saved Liu Bonan, he lost a lot in Hangzhou. However, in other places, it is still sound, especially in the military, and it is very widespread.
Even, among the people who were flooded by Niu Qing, there were also people from the Supervision Department. Niu Hongzhi's army is no exception. Just as the flood was rushing down, someone notified Fang Ning.
After Fang Ning knew the details, he understood that it was definitely Niu Qing's masterpiece. Of course, he would not let go of such a good opportunity, so he immediately ordered to attack it with all his might.
In the heavy rain, the soldiers on both sides fought each other, and there were shouts and screams everywhere. The stagnant water on the ground was soon dyed bright red, and the soldiers who rushed back and forth seemed to be soaked in a pool of blood, and the battle situation was extremely tragic.
It was already night, and outside of the rain-proof torches hanging high in the camp, the torches could not be lit outside, and in the haze, it was impossible to see how far away.
Therefore, Niu Hongzhi did not expect that Fang Ning would come over at this time. Therefore, he was caught off guard, and now Niu Hongzhi arrived, but it was too late, and the two sides were already fighting together.
It was too late to organize an effective defense, and in the melee, the archers on both sides had retreated to the end, and in this unclear environment, it was a melee situation, and the archers had become chicken-like existences.
However, among the archers, there is an exception, and that is the main general Fang Ning, Fang Ning's arrows always shoot Niu Hongzhi's generals under the arrow by surprise.
There was a lot of confusion in the command system on Niu Hongzhi's side, Niu Hongzhi saw it in his eyes, and wanted to step forward with a horizontal knife, but Zhang Fan grabbed the reins.
"General, that Fang Ning is known as the Divine Arrow, you go so rashly, if something happens, you will fall into the hands of the enemy. How to make. After Zhang Fan stopped Niu Hongzhi, he jumped on the horse and said, "I'd better go." ”
Niu Hongzhi frowned, took a deep breath, calmed down, shook his head, and said, "Order the archers to come forward to intercept it, and turn the situation of the melee around first." ”
Zhang Fan hurriedly took the order to do it. After a while, the men and horses on Niu Hongzhi's side retracted sharply and retreated.
As soon as Fang Ning saw this situation, he immediately understood Niu Hongzhi's plan, he was willing to let him retreat so safely, and after the gluing state eased a little, he waved his hand and ordered the cavalry to quickly step forward, follow behind, cover up along the way, and not give the other party a chance to breathe.
In the rain, the hooves of the war horses struck the ground and made a splash, and at the same time, the blades in the hands of the cavalry, every time they swung down, brought a blood flower and a scream.
Of course, the soldiers and horses under Niu Hongzhi are not comparable to those led by Li Jun in Hangzhou City. They were in retreat, but they were also in a panic. In the face of the cavalry chasing after him, he was able to fight and retreat, and he was not slaughtered in fear.
From time to time, some of Fang Ning's cavalry were picked up by the opponent's spearmen, and they disappeared under the hooves of the companions who came later.
Of course, under this way of catching up, Niu Hongzhi's people are losing exponentially compared to Fang Ning's people. However, no one will question Niu Hongzhi's decision, these soldiers and horses have followed him for many years, and they will never slack off in advance and retreat when they give an order.
From the stalemate to the fighting, and then to Niu Hongzhi's retreat, two hours have passed, and it is pitch black all around. In this way, it will be convenient for Niu Hongzhi's people to retreat.
In the end, Fang Ning was never able to stop the other party, and after throwing down many corpses, Niu Hongzhi's men finally retreated into the inner camp. And Fang Ning could only look at it helplessly and sigh.
After all, Niu Hongzhi is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and in defense, he actually does not leak, before, they occupied the opportunity and killed the opponent by surprise, but they still failed to break through the defense line.
Now, Niu Hongzhi has sorted out the people, and it is not easy to kill it again.
In desperation, Fang Ning could only order continuous feints on the periphery, harassing Niu Hongzhi, so that he did not dare to invest too many troops on Niu Qing's side, and now it can only be like this.
With the current strength, Fang Ning had no confidence. Fortunately, news has already come that Niu Ren's troops are less than three hundred miles away from here. Fang Ning can only hope that Niu Qing can last one more day, and when Niu Ren arrives, everything will be easy......
