In fact, at the beginning, I felt that something was wrong, the army of the imperial court was usually a strong combination of infantry and cavalry, using cavalry to charge, surprise attack, flank attack, infantry to cooperate, and the combination of infantry and cavalry in order to exert the greatest power.

Everyone knows that the cavalry is good, but the cost of cavalry is too high, and the court can't afford to raise too many cavalry, and then the golden tiger is eyeing it, and he doesn't dare to transfer too much elite, so many cavalry without infantry cooperation is really suspicious, so Lao Huihui has been holding still, seeing that it is almost dark and the officers and soldiers have not yet moved, thinking that these are just their vanguard, but I didn't expect the other party to wait for him to join the war group before attacking.

"Hurry,, run for your life." The deafening sound of horses' hooves seemed to sound the death knell for himself, and Lao Hui didn't dare to leave anything to chance, so he hurriedly turned the horse's head and took the lead in escaping.

Stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, and say that he has already transported most of the goods and money and grain away in advance, there is no need to die here, according to this posture, the court has ambushed heavy troops here, and he can't afford to die, didn't someone shout just now what General Wang and General Cao? Wang is a big surname, there are a lot of soldiers, which one is not clear, saying that General Cao must be saying Cao Wenzhao, this is the No. 1 fierce man, and his nephew Cao Bianjiao is also a fierce general, "big and small Cao" in Shaanxi to chase and kill all kinds of righteous troops to hear the sound of the change, it is really the No. 2 fierce man, of course, how fast and how fast to run.

The officers and soldiers are well-trained, all strong guys, not only not afraid of death, but also more and more courageous, these ordinary people and exiled border soldiers composed of the rabble have long been timid, just afraid of being supervised by the war team to correct the law, so desperately, hearing the horn and the deafening sound of horses' hooves, shouting to kill, has long been frightened pale, feet and stomachs trembling, and now hearing the leader say retreat, it is like hearing the heavens, one by one can no longer care about what to say, drop the weapon and pull the leg and run.

I only hate my father and mother for giving birth to two legs.

"Run"

"This dog officer and soldier are too fierce, and the brothers are tight."

"Wait for me"

The defeat was like a mountain. The battle situation that was still twisted just now suddenly broke this balance with the old man's reply, and those mobs turned their heads and ran away one by one, scrambling to be the first, there was no order, and no one was dealing with the aftermath, and they "dedicated" their backs to the soldiers of Wenchong Qianhu without reservation.

"Kill, kill all these thieves."

"Brothers, avenge the dead brothers."

"Meritorious deeds are in the present day."

"My lord has an order, catch the old Hui Ma guard. The reward of 100 gold officials was promoted to three levels. ”

Tang Qiang, Li Dingguo and others must have let go of this opportunity, one by one, their spirits were greatly lifted, riding horses, brandishing weapons to chase and kill, slashing and picking guns, it was as simple as going to the vegetable field to pick vegetables, for a while the crying was soaring to the sky, the screams were endless, and the muddy ground was full of blood diluted by rain, and corpses were everywhere.

The group has been chasing and killing for more than ten miles. It was already dark, and it was raining heavily, so Lu Haoshan ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops for safety.

In fact. It was dark and the road was slippery, and it was raining heavily, and I couldn't even hit the torches, so I chased them down. If you can't kill the enemy and fall to your death, then you will be wronged.

"Damn, let that old man run away. If you chase them any further, you will definitely destroy them all, and it will be cheaper for this shit. After coming back from the dark, Sun Xiong said with some resentment.

Dashan nodded and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the darkness, we would have been able to solve these guys if we chased for another half an hour, and this time let them escape, it's really unwilling." ”

Lu Haoshan smiled, didn't say anything, turned his head to Li Dingguo and said, "Dingguo, are your injuries okay?" ”

In the battle, Li Dingguo let his left arm be pierced by a shot, he fought to the death, kept chasing and killing with injuries, and only after coming back did he find a bandage in the army, and Lu Haoshan was naturally particularly concerned about this future pillar of the army.

"Lord Xie cares, these skin injuries have long been used to it." Li Dingguo said gratefully.

"What do you think of this encounter?" Lu Haoshan was more concerned about his thoughts and asked.

Li Dingguo said solemnly: "Dangerous, this time it can be said that it is a narrow victory, if we don't attack before dark, we will be very passive." ”

Lu Haoshan nodded and said: "That's right, if we continue to pull the base, our casualties will be even heavier, and I can afford to spend it, so I can't bear to subordinate these soldiers." ”

"Yes, fortunately, Dingguo's bluff is skillfully used, coupled with the right time and place, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hide this old fox, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he won narrowly." Tang Qiang on the side said with a straight face.

When they met on a narrow road, there was no way back, so they could only fight desperately, because the gap in numbers and the advantages could not be brought into play, so that if you want to win, you must not only be brave, but also use wisdom, Lu Haoshan only thought a little and agreed to Li Dingguo's tactic: bluffing.

First let the horse rest, eat something before the battle, in order to maintain its body, and then set up a suspicious formation, without a pre-battle report directly into the enemy formation, the good soldiers are used on the "sharp knife", at the beginning to give the old back the biggest damage made him mistakenly think that this is the elite troops of the imperial court, has not blown the horn is waiting for dark, it is dark to act, Lu Haoshan has a total of only 800 soldiers in his hands, 500 in front of him, and the rest are divided into three roads, so that there are less than 100 people all the way, and it is not a climate at all, fortunately, Lu Haoshan has not many soldiers, but there are a lot of horses, and the last time he exterminated the fake king of troubled times, he seized a lot, and before leaving, he extorted dozens of horses from the traitor Fan Yongdou, with a total of nearly 1,400 horses.

Lu Haoshan's abacus crackled: Anyway, this grain and grass is supplied by the local government, and it doesn't hurt to have more horses, idle things can transport heavy grain and grass, and the war can be used alternately, that is, when there is no food, you can also kill horses and eat meat, so you don't refuse the Malays, the three powerful "ambushes", the back of the horse area behind is empty, more flags and more noise, deliberately make the momentum bigger is to make Lao Hui feel that there are a lot of ambushes, and the night is the best cover, and the loud training on weekdays also makes the soldiers under him practice a loud voice and roar together, really build up the momentum, let the old man return and retreat without a fight.

Tang Qiang is right, it is indeed a narrow victory, and if it is twisted again, it will only increase the casualties, and if it is later, it will scare the old back away, but the casualties of the soldiers fighting with the tiger battalion will be further expanded, and the horse charge under the black light will be blind, that is suicide, if you are not careful, you will fall, and if you fall down, it will be a large piece, and you will charge in advance and be afraid that the old man will find that he is bluffing, and then don't die with yourself, with fewer enemies and more, even if you win, you will win miserably.

The timing is just right, and you can say that you are lucky.

Lu Haoshan nodded and asked, "Gongchang, how about the casualties?" ”

This is what Lu Haoshan is most concerned about, there are not many of his subordinates, this is brought out, all of them are carefully selected elite soldiers, each of them is piled up with hard work and money and food, these are the capital for hegemony in the future, but it can't be lost too much, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses.

Zhao Gongchang said a little depressedly: "My lord, it's dark now, it's raining heavily when you can't see your fingers, and the torches can't be lit, it's difficult to count, the living are still being counted, and those wounded can only be searched slowly." ”

"Hurry up, pay attention to safety" Lu Haoshan said with a solemn face: "As long as it is our people, as long as there is still a breath, don't give up, my Lu someone's soldiers, whether they are dead or alive, will never abandon any of them." ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhao Gongchang's face moved, and he immediately said respectfully.

In the army, many generals do not regard soldiers as people, they are greedy for merit on weekdays, deduct food and salary, and do not treat soldiers as people for the sake of their own heads, and only regard them as tools for their own promotion and wealth.

This is also the reason why Zhao Gongchang was willing to stay and work for Lu Haoshan, and by Lu Haoshan's side, Zhao Gongchang found his dignity and value.

At this time, Dashan used a shield to block the rain, took out a bamboo tube from his arms, opened the lid on it, poured out a paper fold that was still burning, and blew it with his mouth, and soon blew the fire fold, so that there was a faint light in the dark night, and someone felt out the candle wrapped in oil paper and lit it, and Lu Haoshan could finally vaguely see the surrounding environment.

The rain is still falling, but it has stopped a lot compared to the front, and as far as the eye can see, everywhere the light sees, there are corpses that are lying all over the place, because of the rain, there is about ten centimeters of stagnant water on the ground, and the water is rendered in blood, turning into pale red blood water, standing here as if standing on a pool of blood, Lu Haoshan was surprised to see that a flag with the character Cao actually floated on the water.

Bleeding and drifting.

These four words mean that there is too much killing on the battlefield, and there is so much blood that you can float the shield. Jia Yi's "On the Passage of Qin": "Millions of corpses are ambushed, bleeding and drifting." "What sounded like an exaggeration before, now it seems possible.

Fortunately, most of the corpses of those mobs were seen, and it could be seen that although there were many people, Su zhì was too far behind.

This is the cruelty of war, when it comes to the battlefield, either you die or I die.

"My lord," a soldier stumbled over to ask for instructions: "What to do with the injured mob?" ”

"Don't talk about killing" Lu Haoshan hadn't spoken yet, and Tang Qiang had already been a "villain" for him.

The soldier saw that Lu Haoshan did not say anything, so he answered and went to carry out the order.

Lu Haoshan didn't say anything to stop it, the level of medical care in ancient times was low, he was injured in this environment, it was difficult to heal, and now Lu Haoshan has a limited number of people, food and grass are also limited, and there is no one to take care of them, and there is not so much food to support, these years people's lives are as cheap as grass mustard, and when they come out to rebel, they must be prepared to be in the wilderness, and these people say that they are righteous soldiers, but who has not done something that bullies men and women and hurts nature?

In troubled times, you deserve to die.

"My lord, you're tired too, let's go and rest first." Tang Qiang said respectfully to Lu Haoshan.

Lu Haoshan nodded, and under Tang Qiang's escort, he went to the cave on the side to rest for a while, and by the way, he visited and comforted those wounded, standing here would hinder his subordinates from cleaning up the battlefield.

In the middle of the night, it seemed that the sky couldn't see it, and the rain that had been falling for almost five days finally stopped, and Lu Haoshan ordered his subordinates to light torches to speed up the cleaning of the battlefield. (To be continued......)
