Chapter 122: One Hundred Enemies Annihilated
Tao Wu and Zhang Liang, who were ordered to go to Yinling City to explore the road, each led a thousand soldiers under their command, and marched in the direction of Yinling in two ways, and after fifty miles away from the city, the two groups of men and horses converged together.
Tao Wu and Zhang Liang walked side by side, examining their surroundings from time to time.
"Brother Tao, the Lord will let us go to the Yin Tomb to explore the way, can we just look at the road and go back." Zhang Liang frowned.
Taowu was stunned and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"The distance between Yinling and Dangtu is less than 100 miles, and the scouts of the big and small roads have already explored, and now, the defenders of Yinling are less than five hundred, if you and I come to a surprise attack, it is not impossible to directly capture Yinling." Zhang Liang's eyes shone with a greedy and fierce light, as if the Yin Ling City in front of him was not a city, but a plate of delicious roasted whole sheep.
When Tao Wu heard this, his heart itched, he was conceited and heroic, so he naturally would not take the Jin army defending the city in his eyes.
"Okay, then capture the Yin Tomb, and the credit will be shared equally between the two of us." Momowu said fiercely.
"It's a deal." The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth showed a sly smile, he has enough confidence in attacking Yinling, in case of defeat, Taowu will share the responsibility with himself, and Taowu is the son of the main general Taobao, Taobao will naturally not punish his son excessively, and he and Taowu have the same responsibility, so naturally there will be no problem.
In a mound five hundred steps ahead, a Jin cavalry suddenly appeared, and when he saw Taowu and Zhang Liang's 2,000 troops, he immediately reined in his horse and retreated.
But his whereabouts had already been seen by Tao Wu, and Tao Wu naturally understood that the Jin cavalry in front of him must be scouts who came to explore the way.
At this moment, he was planning to make a sudden attack on Yinling with Zhang Liang, naturally he couldn't let this scout inform the defenders of Yinling City of his whereabouts, if the defenders of Yinling were fully prepared, the suddenness of the tactics of the sudden attack on Yinling would be much weaker.
Moreover, the Jin army scouts must be relatively clear about the deployment of the Jin army, and if such a scout is captured alive and forced to ask about the deployment of the Jin army, it is another great achievement.
Tao Wu looked back at a team leader behind him, and ordered: "You take a hundred people to catch up with the Jin army scouts in front, and if you want to catch them alive, go quickly." ”
"Order." Hearing the order, this team immediately led a hundred light horsemen to pursue the Jin scouts in front, while Tao Wu and Zhang Liang led the rest of the men and horses to follow slowly behind.
After all, after running for fifty miles in a row, people should be tired of horses, slow down to raise horsepower first, wait for the soldiers to come to the city of Yinling and then gallop, and quickly raid and break the city.
When the Jin scouts saw that the 100 cavalry behind them were speeding up, they were naturally very nervous, and the fate of being caught by the enemy would definitely not be better, so they also accelerated their flight.
One hundred pursuers chased after more than ten miles behind, and the team at the front was only less than fifty steps away from the Jin army scouts, and when they saw that they had entered the range of bows and arrows, this team was immediately taking out bows and arrows from their waists, aiming at the buttocks of the war horses in front of them and putting an arrow.
Due to the large bumps in the gallop, the arrow fired did not hit the horse's buttocks, but passed against the calf of the Jin army scout, and the sharp arrow cut a red hole in the scout's calf.
The Jin army scout suffered from pain in his calf, and naturally understood that it was because of the arrow, and his heart suddenly became more nervous, but the war horse had already made a rapid wheezing sound when he galloped continuously, and the whip could not run fast no matter how much he whipped.
Just when he was already desperate and thought that he was going to die, the war horse turned over a small hill, and a detachment of the Jin army suddenly appeared in front of him.
This army is naturally the four hundred soldiers under the command of Hua'an, in fact, early in the morning, Hua'an led these four hundred soldiers to Dangtu, but not long after leaving the city, Hua'an felt that it was necessary to familiarize himself with the situation around Yinling City.
So, he took 400 men and horses to go around Yinling City in a big circle, and carefully explored the terrain and landforms around Yinling.
The harvest is naturally not small, at least through the exploration of the field, found a large number of errors and deficiencies in the military map, especially some remote paths, which are not marked on the map at all, but these small roads, the army can pass guò.
For such a map, Hua An was very angry, if the commander of the army was deployed in full accordance with this kind of map, it would definitely be a mistake, and the enemy army would attack his rear from a remote road, which had the effect of a divine soldier descending from the sky.
Hua An took some time to correct all the errors on the map before leading his men in the direction of Dangtu, and at this time, they were not far away from the Yin Tomb.
The small hill beside him blocked the view, and Hua An only heard the sound of hurried horses' hooves, but with the sudden appearance of the Jin army scouts, a hundred Hu cavalry also appeared in Hua An's sight.
"Big brother, Zhao State cavalry." The thunderstorm was very excited.
It was the first time they had encountered an enemy since they had set out on the expedition, and everyone's nerves tensed, excited and nervous.
Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, he had already guessed that it was the cavalry of Zhao State when he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves just now, and judging from the sound, there were only more than a hundred horsemen.
At this time, this hundred cavalry is already close at hand, and Hua'an will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity to destroy the enemy.
"Kill ......" Hua An shouted, raised his big sword and the four hundred soldiers under his command, and killed the cavalry of Zhao State together.
The cavalry of Zhao State was originally chasing the Jin army scouts, and suddenly saw a large number of Jin army cavalry, and couldn't help but be surprised, but at this time, the other party had already killed him, and it was obviously too late to retreat.
Since the start of Dangtu City, they have been running for sixty miles in a row, and they have long been sleepy and tired, especially the war horses, which must not be able to run fast.
"Soldiers, fight with the Southern Barbarians, kill ......"
More than 100 cavalry of Zhao State also raised their weapons and shouted to kill Hua'an.
Although their strength was only a quarter of Hua'an's, they looked down on the Jin army from the bottom of their hearts, and in their hearts, the Jin army was nothing more than a herd of sheep to be slaughtered.
Their main army conquered four Jin cities in one day, and the Jin army defending the city fled in despair, which was enough for them to have enough courage to attack the Jin army.
Hua An saw that the hundred cavalry of Zhao State rushed towards him violently, and he was quite surprised in his heart, after all, the opponent's strength was a quarter of his own, and the difference in strength was four times, and he actually had the courage to launch a frontal attack, which showed the arrogance of Zhao Guo's cavalry.
The distance between the two armies was already very close, and it was cavalry, and all of them quickly exchanged swords and guns, and they fought.
Hua An raised his big knife and stabbed the head of the enemy army, thinking that it was foolproof, but he was stopped by his gun.
Hua An'an couldn't help but be stunned, the other party was just a small team leader of the enemy, and he was able to take his own hard blow, this strength was indeed good.
And the enemy army is a look of horror, he looked at Hua'an in horror, his eyes were full of incredulity, as the vanguard of the Peach Leopard army, yesterday captured Yicheng, he killed several Jin soldiers in a row, and even killed a Jin army captain with one shot, the Jin army soldiers looked so vulnerable, and Hua'an in front of him just made his tiger mouth hurt, five rolls.
Hua An was slightly stunned for a moment, withdrew his broadsword and struck hard, the enemy team did not dare to block hard, dodged sideways, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and prepared to escape.
How could Hua'an give him this opportunity, the knife edge turned sideways and swept towards the chest of the enemy team, the enemy team was dodging, the iron armor on the chest was cut by Hua'an's big knife, and the huge force knocked the enemy team off the horse.
The enemy team lying on the ground suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he reached out and touched it with blood, obviously Hua An's knife just now not only cut through the iron armor, but also left a bloody wound on the chest of the enemy team.
Hua An rode forward, and struck the enemy team with a sharp blow from the edge of the knife, and then pulled out a big knife and continued to fight.
Thunderstorm, Zhao Wu, Wang San, and Tie Niu rushed into the enemy group and fought hard, recruiting blood, blood-stained armor, and four hundred soldiers also spared their lives and struggled forward.
One hundred Zhao cavalry were very elite, but the sad thing was that what they encountered was not the vulnerable Jin army, but the elite of Han Qian's pro-military battalion, which was Hua'an's pro-military battalion Left Brigade.
The battle was not long, and soon a hundred Zhao cavalry were wiped out by Hua'an's four hundred soldiers, full of corpses lying on the ground, and the ownerless horses stood quietly next to the dead master, spewing rough air from time to time.
"Big brother, I only killed six in one breath, it's too enjoyable." The thunderstorm roared loudly, apparently still immersed in the excitement of killing the enemy.
"This is not enough, you kid rushed to the front, you killed the most enemy soldiers, and the big axe in my hand just cut off three brains, and I couldn't find a living person." Iron Bull glared at the thunderstorm and scolded casually.
Zhao Wu quietly wiped the spear in his hand on the side, and only Wang San was carefully checking the casualties.
Hua An looked at it, many of the soldiers under his command were painted, and many of the corpses lying on the ground were soldiers under his command, and he couldn't help but have some heartache in his heart.
These soldiers who died in battle, usually get along with themselves day and night, just like their brothers, and now they die here quietly, and they never have a chance to return to their relatives.
"Wang San, how about the casualties." Hua An asked softly.
Wang San looked lonely, sighed, and said softly: "Twenty were killed in the battle, and more than a hundred were injured." ”
"There are so many casualties." Hua An frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Peach Leopard's subordinates are really strong, and the disparity in strength is so great that our army has lost twenty soldiers, so we must not be careless in the future." ”
The soldiers around him nodded in approval when they heard this, in fact, the reason why the losses were so huge was not only the strong combat strength of the enemy's cavalry, but also the light enemy of the soldiers was also a big factor.
Even Hua'an himself is a little light enemy, although he knows that the Hu people are strong, but the other party only has a hundred cavalry after all, Hua'an originally thought that as long as he rushes over with all his strength, the enemy knows that his strength is insufficient, and most of them will choose to flee, and the fleeing enemy is unable to organize effective resistance, and he will lead the army to chase after him in the rear, and he will definitely be able to easily eliminate this group of enemies, at least there will be no such big losses.
