Chapter 277: An Unexpected Ambush
Gao Ran led the army forward, he had many soldiers under his command, and he had a strong army, and he already thought that he would win. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe two armies marched towards each other, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers under Gao Ran's command and Guan Hai met. The two armies faced each other, there were no superfluous slogans, no superfluous nonsense, and they directly faced each other with swords and fought with swords.
Guan Hai took the lead with a big knife in his hand and entered the Jizhou soldiers.
Thousands of Qingzhou soldiers, in one go, followed Guan Hai to break through the defense line of the soldiers under Gao Ran's command and enter it. The four fields in the open space were densely packed with soldiers, and the two sides fought each other, and the battle was fierce.
Gao Ranren was in the rear, and found a slightly higher place to observe the situation condescendingly. His eyes swept over, and after searching carefully, he found no trace of Wang Yan, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile.
It seems that Wang Yan did not come, which means that Wang Yan wanted to use the army in front of him to lure him there, and then take the opportunity to ambush him. But even if Wang Yan has ambush soldiers, what can he do, Gao Ran's elite troops are exhausted, and the troops are huge, and they are not afraid of any ambush.
"Qiu Taishou, please lead 10,000 elites to make a detour from both sides to cut off the retreat of this Qingzhou soldier."
Gao Ran waved his hand and gave the order directly.
"No!"
The plain guard Qiu Rafter got the order, and immediately led his soldiers to make a detour.
The 10,000 troops were scattered, detoured from the two flanks of the battlefield, and quickly approached the rear of the Qingzhou soldiers. Qiu Rafter looked excited, thinking of the upcoming battle exploits, and shouted: "Sons, kill with me and make meritorious contributions, just today." ”
10,000 troops cut off the retreat of the Qingzhou soldiers, quickly surrounded them, and wanted to solve the soldiers of Guan Hai in one fell swoop.
"Whew! Shout! ”
Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows rushed from behind.
Bows and arrows are not fired from the back, but at the level. The bow and arrows that shot straight at were fast and ruthless, and they shot into the bodies of the soldiers under Qiu Rafter's command.
Screams, all in one.
Waves of Jizhou soldiers fell like waves of wheat blown by the wind.
The most important thing is that Qiu Rafter cut off Guan Hai's back road, and the soldiers under his command lay across the road, forming a human wall. At this time, bows and arrows were fired, and there was no way to avoid them, and there were heavy casualties.
"There are ambushes in the rear, Wang Er, you lead 3,000 troops to kill them."
Qiu Rafter was angry in his heart, and immediately divided his troops to block it.
The 10,000 men were divided into two teams, one rushing up to flank Guan Hai, and the other was sent to fend off the incoming bows and arrows.
Arrows rained down, and the Jizhou soldiers kept falling. When the 3,000 Jizhou soldiers led by Wang Er approached the position where the archers were located, a team of 800 pikemen suddenly appeared.
This pikeman, all dressed in armor and with sharp eyes, walked with neat steps and moved forward quickly.
The spear, which is two feet long, is as thick as a goose egg and has a sharp tip.
When the Jizhou soldiers touched the pikemen, the spears stabbed forward.
"Poof! Poof! ”
The tip of the gun was sharp, and it easily pierced into the body of the Jizhou soldier.
The dense forest of guns is like a scythe of death, harvesting the lives of Jizhou soldiers. The goose-egg-thick spear probed and retracted, and it was extremely easy, and it brought out a puddle of blood, and kept moving forward.
"Step! Trample! ”
The sound of neat footsteps knocked on the hearts of the Jizhou soldiers.
The 3,000 soldiers under Wang Er's command, under the charge of 800 well-trained pikemen, scattered in all directions and collapsed. Qiu Rafter was high-spirited and full of desire to win, when he suddenly saw that the soldiers under Wang Er's command were in chaos, and then saw the neat pikemen coming, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to come forward to resist.
The number of soldiers under Qiu Rafter was far more than that of pikemen. However, in terms of orders and prohibitions, and in terms of the elite degree of individual soldiers, they are far behind. A soldier rushed up to fend off the pikemen, all of them hitting stones with eggs, and they were completely hanged.
Eight hundred pikemen, as if they were meat grinders, scattered Qiu Rin's soldiers.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
Fearing for his safety, Qiu Rafter hurriedly rode his horse out of the way, not daring to face the eight hundred pikemen again. The 10,000 elites under Qiu Rafter were suddenly in disarray, and they could no longer gather an offensive.
Looking at the six roads, listening to all directions, and always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield. Seeing that the 10,000 troops under Qiu Rafter's command were scattered, he secretly scolded Qiu Rafter in his heart for being a fool, and even eight hundred pikemen could not deal with it.
In desperation, Gao Ran once again ordered that the ministers of Le'an, Jinan, and Bohai each lead 10,000 troops forward. Each of these three men led 10,000 men to encircle and suppress Guan Hai's forces.
"The enemy soldiers are fierce, retreat!"
Guan Hai saw that Gao Ran had sent most of his troops, and knew that if he fought again, the soldiers under his command would be trapped and difficult to get out, so he decisively ordered a retreat.
With Guan Hai's order, the pikemen were divided into two groups, and the soldiers under Guan Hai quickly withdrew.
The pikemen on both sides of the array, on the one hand, protected the retreat of Guan Hai's soldiers, and on the other hand, stopped the Jizhou soldiers who came to attack. When most of Guan Hai's troops withdrew, the pikemen immediately closed their cover and slowly retreated.
The course of the battle was orderly and not chaotic at all.
All this fell in Gao Ran's eyes, and Gao Ran was so angry that he was angry.
"Chase, chase me. Today, Wang Yan must be annihilated. ”
Gao Ran ordered an all-out pursuit, desperate to eliminate Wang Yan's soldiers.
Seeing this, Wu Xin suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, and suggested: "General, Wang Yan has not appeared. I am worried that Wang Yan still has some conspiracies. The ups and downs of Phoenix Mountain make it easy to set up an ambush. ”
Gao Ran nodded and said, "The problem you are worried about has already been considered. But this battle was supposed to cover up and kill the army of his own commander, even if Wang Yan had a conspiracy and tricks, under the crushing of the army, Wang Yan's conspiracy would not help. ”
Wu Xin thought about it and stopped persuading.
Gao Ran led the army to chase and kill, but Guan Hai's army retreated extremely quickly, and soon joined Wang Yan five miles away. Wang Yan commanded all the armies and once again blocked Gao Ran, and the two sides clashed again.
Seeing that Wang Yan's forces were exhausted, Gao Ran's heart was completely relieved, and a trace of doubt in his heart dissipated.
Wang Yan's plan is too simple.
Moreover, with Wang Yan's troops, it was difficult to stop him from advancing.
After less than a quarter of an hour of fighting between the two sides, Wang Yan ordered the withdrawal of the army. This retreat was also extremely simple, and he quickly withdrew from the battlefield, not giving Gao Ran a chance to entangle.
Gao Ran wanted to take down Wang Yan, but when he saw Wang Yan withdrawing, he immediately chased and killed.
In the Phoenix Mountain, Wang Yan kept retreating, and Gao Ran kept chasing and killing.
Half an hour later, the armies of both sides had already left Phoenix Mountain. Without the ambush of Phoenix Mountain, Gao Ran had no scruples, and led his troops to advance at full speed, intending to cover up Wang Yan, but the soldiers under Gao Ran's command never caught up with Wang Yan.
The two sides kept a certain distance and never fought.
The battlefield was transferred from Phoenix Mountain to the north gate of Linzi County.
All the troops under Wang Yan's command retreated to the city. Gao Ran led the army in pursuit, and soon pursued it outside the North Gate. The city gate was closed, and Wang Yan stood on the city tower, looking at the army condescendingly, with a bright smile on his face.
Gao Lanren was outside the city, and said loudly: "Wang Yan, immediately open the city and surrender, I will spare you death, and I can say a few good words for you in front of the lord to ensure that you have a foothold under the lord." ”
In the tone, there is a strong confidence.
When the army was approaching the city, he no longer cared about Xu Yu's safety, and Gao Ran thought that he would win.
Wang Yan chuckled and replied, "Gao Lan, don't you think it's strange until now? Why didn't I set up an ambush on Phoenix Mountain, but just sent a team to fight you for a while? From Phoenix Mountain to the county seat, it can be said that it is time-consuming. ”
Gao Ran chuckled in his heart, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
When the two armies fought, Gao Ran concluded that Wang Yan would set up an ambush on Phoenix Mountain, but in fact, Wang Yan did not set up an ambush. From beginning to end, Wang Yan led his troops to retreat continuously.
Wang Yan's eyes fell on the south, and when he saw the smoke billowing up, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "See? There is a fire in the south, at this moment, do you understand? ”
In the south of Linzi County, thick smoke soared into the sky. The fiery red light reflected the sky red.
"Stealing the camp, oops, it's a trick!"
Gao Ran was shocked, and his heart sank suddenly.
