Chapter 1389: Ambush

At this time, the 200,000 Wei army had turned into a long snake formation more than ten miles long because of the pursuit of the enemy, and it would be very dangerous if it was attacked by surprise at this time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cao Ren led tens of thousands of cavalry to chase under the fortress, and when he saw the majestic pass in front of him, he had to order a temporary retreat.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering shout from the fortress, and many troops appeared from all around.

Cao Ren immediately realized that he was in an ambush.

"The whole army obeys the order, follow me to assault!" As soon as the words fell, a sharp arrow flew down from the city gate tower, hitting Cao Ren's left chest, Cao Ren frowned, and broke the arrow inserted into the chest very strongly, and then led more than 30,000 cavalry to attack the coming road, at this time the enemy cavalry on both sides had already killed.

The two sides started a cavalry melee on the wasteland outside the fortress, thousands of horses galloped like a tide, the sound of killing shook the sky, smoke and dust flew all over the sky to cover the sky and the sun, and the soldiers who fell off their horses were instantly submerged in a stormy wave.

At the same time, the middle of the follow-up troops of the Fourth Army and the Xiongnu Army was also raided by the cavalry of the Jin Army, and the battle was very fierce, and the Wei army, which was caught off guard, seemed to be in a hurry.

The Wei army was in a hurry when it was attacked by the Jin army, but the Wei army's fourth army was the elite of the Wei army after all, and the Xiongnu army was also a battle-hardened army, and after a short period of confusion, they quickly launched a counterattack, and at the same time spontaneously converged towards the middle.

Despite this, in the process, the Wei army suffered heavy casualties under the surprise attack of the enemy cavalry, and it was really distressing to see the groups of Wei soldiers staining the battlefield with blood under the impact of the enemy cavalry in vain!

However, the assault Jin cavalry did not have much advantage, and some overly arrogant cavalry found themselves unable to stand out after falling into the Wei army's counter-encirclement.

After a fierce battle for half a day, the Wei army finally gathered together after paying a lot of price, and the Wei army's Fourth Army and the Hun cavalry suffered more than 50,000 casualties, which was really unacceptable.

Although the Wei army has been gathered, the Jin people do not seem to intend to give up, they have surrounded several small hills where the Wei army gathered, like iron buckets, and the Jin army has dispatched at least 400,000 horses.

Cao Ren looked at the scene in front of him and frowned, "I can't imagine that the people of the Jin Kingdom would dare to make a desperate bet!?" Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my left chest, and my body shook involuntarily, and I was held by my own soldiers.

Cao Ren made it to a big tree with the support of his own soldiers, and asked the general Chen Shidao: "What is the loss of our army?" ”

Chen Shi couldn't help but sigh and replied: "There are more than 50,000 casualties!" A considerable number of them were caused by the surprise attack of the opposing cavalry in the course of the movement! ”

Cao Ren said unusually sadly: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault!" How can I explain to Your Majesty!? ”

After a while, Cao Ren regained his strengths and said to Chen Shi, "You go on!" ”

"Yes! In addition to the loss of personnel, we also lost all the baggage and heavy equipment! ”

Cao Ren asked urgently, "How long can our grain and grass last?" ”

"Only the rations that the soldiers carry with them can only last for two days at most!" Chen Shi said worriedly.

Cao Ren decisively ordered: "Collect all the grain and fresh water and distribute it uniformly!" ”

"Yes!"

"Also, immediately order the two wings of the army to come over!"

"Yes! General, don't you ask Your Majesty for help? ”

Cao Ren said with a look of shame: "How can I still have the face to ask Your Majesty for help!" ”

Chen Shi hurriedly persuaded: "General, we have already made a mistake once, and we can't make it again!" In any case, we must report the situation here to Your Majesty! ”

Cao Ren hesitated for a moment and nodded.

In the evening of the same day, after a full meal, the Wei army launched an assault on the encirclement of the Jin army, but the Wei soldiers who attacked were met by the opponent's catapults, which were originally Wei troops.

The Wei army fought bravely and bravely, but after paying a heavy price, they were unable to break through the enemy's defenses, mainly because of the catapults.

As a last resort, the Wei army had no choice but to change its tactics and wait for reinforcements.

"Empress, the Wei army has been repelled by us!" Drov, the general of the Jin Kingdom, rushed to the Queen of Slan.

Queen Silan nodded, and resolutely ordered: "Order all armies to take advantage of the victory and assault!" ”

"Yes!"

The Jin army stormed the Wei army from three directions, and when they looked down from the hill, they saw a large area densely packed under the moonlight, like a creepy ant colony.

The officers and men of the Fourth Army of the Wei Army desperately resisted the charge of the Jin army, although they were absolutely inferior in numbers, but the wave of the enemy's impact was unable to cross their defensive line.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the eyes were full of tragic scenes. A Jin soldier howled and pierced the chest of a Wei soldier, and before he could cheer, a look of horror suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then his head flew into the sky against the backdrop of a puddle of blood, and the headless corpse fell, and the Wei soldier in front of him knelt on one knee with both hands on the barrier knife, and there was no movement, and the enemy's long knife was stuck in his chest.

Queen Slan frowned and looked at the battle line that had not made progress for a long time. Delov ran back.

"How's it going?" Queen Silan hurriedly asked.

Delov said with a pale face: "These Wei soldiers are simply not people!" They don't seem to be affected by their previous failures! Queen Silan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Push the catapult to the front!" Continue to strengthen the attack, the first one to attack is named a baron, and those who retreat from the cowardly battle will correct the law on the spot! ”

"Yes!"

The fighting became even more fierce.

Under the temptation of interests, the army of the Jin State charged upwards like crazy, one after another.

The soldiers of the Fourth Army of the Wei Army resisted desperately, stained the battlefield with blood, and never took a step back.

Gradually, the momentum of the Jin people's attack weakened. Cao Ren rode his war horse to the front, glanced at the scene in front of him, pulled out the barrier knife suddenly, and shouted: "Great Wei Tianwei is invincible!" Kill!! ”

The soldiers of the Fourth Army of the Wei Army, who were struggling to resist, fought back like they had taken stimulants, all of them were not afraid of death, like tigers out of the box.

At the same time, tens of thousands of Hun legion cavalry roared down from the mountain, like a mountain torrent bursting out unstoppable. Jin Guoren was caught off guard and was pressed down, looking a little chaotic.

Queen Silan, who was watching the battle in the rear, and the generals were taken aback. Queen Silan hurriedly ordered: "You must resist!" All the generals put me on the first line! ”

After a brief period of confusion, the Jin people stabilized their position, and then set off another wave of attacks under the leadership of the general of the Jin State. The armies of both sides shouted and fought on the small hillside, all of them were red-eyed, and one by one the soldiers fell, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger.

The battle continued until the sun rose.

The exhausted soldiers of both sides withdrew their troops.

Drover returned to Queen Slan and said with a look of shame: "Queen, the last general is incompetent!" ”

Queen Slan helped Delov up, "The general doesn't have to blame himself, you have done your best!" ”

glanced at the kneeling generals in front of him, and raised his voice: "You have all done your best!" Get up! ”

"Empress Xie!" The generals stood up.

Empress Silan returned to the top and sat down, frowned and asked, "Do you still have the confidence to break through the Wei army's front?" ”

The generals looked at each other, and Delov said resolutely: "If you can't capture Gandang Military Law!" ”

Queen Silan waved her hand, "The more times like this, the more you can't be rash!" I need you to tell the truth! ”

Glancing at the generals, his gaze fixed on Delov's face, "Delov, you say!" ”

Delov hesitated for a moment, and said with some frustration: "Empress, it is possible to break through the Wei army's defense line!" But it will be extremely costly, and it will consume quite a while! After all, the Fourth Army of the Wei Army is the main elite of the Wei Army! ”

The generals all nodded.

Empress Silan frowned and thought about it, turned her head and asked the scout, "Where are the other armies of the Wei army?" ”

The scout officer replied, "There is no further news yet. However, based on the previous situation, they are now at least two hundred miles away from here! ”

Queen Silan analyzed: "So there are at least four days left!" ”

A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and Huo Ran rose, "Order all armies, continue to attack the Wei army, and be sure to wipe them out!" ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the Wei soldiers took a breath, they found that the Jin people had come up again, and the exhausted soldiers immediately prepared for battle. Cao Ren came to the front and looked at the situation down the mountain, his brows furrowed.

"Let the Hun Legion temporarily take the place of the Fourth Legion to defend! The Fourth Legion seized the time to rest! ”

"Yes!" The herald retreated as promised.

Cao Ren glanced around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to this, he took out something from his arms and handed it to Chen Shi.

Chen Shi looked at Cao Ren with a surprised expression.

Cao Ren said: "I was going to hand it over to my son personally!" But now it seems that there is no chance! ”

Chen Shi was stunned for a moment, and said urgently: "General"

Cao Ren interrupted Chen Shi's words and advised: "If the defense line completely collapses, you will lead the cavalry to break through to the east, and you must stand out!" ”

Chen Shi bowed excitedly: "General, I will never leave you!" ”

"Fart! Lao Tzu is the boss, you must listen to my orders! ”

Chen Shi had no choice but to promise.

Cao Ren patted Chen Shi on the shoulder, "Remember my words!" ”

Jin Guojun surrounded him from three sides, and it was mighty, and it really felt like black clouds were crushing the city and wanted to destroy it.

However, the Jin army suddenly stopped advancing, and turned around one hundred and eighty degrees and retreated.

"What's going on?" Chen Shi said with a blank expression.

Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "It must be our army that has arrived!" It must have been our army that arrived! ”

The army retreated to the camp, and the general Delov rushed into the big tent and asked puzzledly: "Empress, why did you suddenly order a retreat?" (To be continued.) )
