When Murong Ke heard this, he explained: "If our army wants to cross the river secretly without knowing it, it must be a small army, and the main army must stay to confuse the enemy, and how can a small army capture the well-defended Lukou City?" However, the Wei army that attacked and defended the south bank of the river was more than enough, so that the main force of our army could fully cross the water, so as to gather all the troops and horses to attack Lukou City. ”

"It's still the fourth brother who thinks thoughtfully, let me lead this small army and sneak attack the back road of the Wei army." Murong Ba Zhengse asked.

Murong Ke nodded and said softly, "Okay! You lead 5,000 men and horses to get ready, secretly cross the river this night, and attack the Wei army's troops defending the south bank of the water, and I will lead the main force to force the river from the north bank to reinforce you. ”

"Fourth brother, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task." Murong Ba said confidently.

"Alright, let's go back and prepare!" Murong Ke whispered softly, and returned to the camp with Murong Ba.

Subsequently, Murong Ke led the main army to the north bank of the river, and actively prepared the boats to cross the river, with the momentum of crossing the river, while Murong Ba led 5,000 men and horses, secretly marched north, and arrived at a ferry port downstream of the water, preparing to cross the water after nightfall, and attack the Wei army defending the water.

On the south bank of the river, Wang Wu saw that Murong Ke's main army was preparing to cross the river, so he ordered his subordinates to closely monitor Murong Ke's every move, and immediately report to him as soon as there was any movement.

"General, Murong Ke's main army has 100,000 horses, and our army has only 10,000 troops. There is too much difference, is it not from the city to transfer some troops and horses to reinforce here. Wang Wu's subordinates saw that Murong Ke's troops were too strong, and opened their mouths to build a road.

Wang Wu looked at the north bank of the flood, relieved for a moment, and said: "Don't worry, although Murong Ke has many soldiers and horses, he can't cross the river at the same time, our army has 10,000 horses to defend here, and Murong Ke can't cross the river even if he has a million heroes." Unless Murong Ke cheats. Send a detachment of troops and horses to attack the back of our army, so that it will be possible to cross the water. ”

"Yes! General, if Murong Ke sends a detachment of divisions to smuggle across the water. Attack on the back of our troops. But what a good thing it is! The general hurriedly said.

Wang Wu smiled. He said softly: "You forget, this is our territory, and there are twenty miles of it nearby. They are all the eyes of our army, if Murong Ke wants to do any tricks, he will definitely not be able to hide it from our army. ”

When the general heard this, he nodded approvingly, and agreed with Wang Wu's judgment.

"General, the scout reported that an army of Yan was ambushed at the ferry more than ten miles to the north, it seems that it wants to smuggle into the water!" At this moment, a small school ran over and reported loudly.

When Wang Wu heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Murong Ke is really a famous general of Yan State, and he is very good at fighting, but he also underestimates this general too much, and this general is not easy to match, how can he not see through his tricks, by the way, how many soldiers and horses does Yan Guo's partial division have?" ”

"Back to the general, there are only 5,000 men and horses." Xiao Xiao said hurriedly.

Wang Wu nodded slightly, looked at the generals beside him, and said, "Murong Ke only sent five thousand men, it seems that the target is not Lukou City, but here!" Our army must make a plan and annihilate all the Yan Divisions here. ”

"Yes! General, only 5,000 men and horses will definitely not be able to break through Lukou City, the target of the Yan army is us, how should our army be arranged, please give the general an order. The general hurriedly said.

Wang Wu nodded and ordered: "Here 10,000 horses and horses will not move, order to defend Lukou City, leave 5,000 soldiers to defend the city, and the remaining 15,000 men and horses will secretly go out of the city after nightfall, and ambush in the place where the Yan army must pass, as long as the Yan army arrives, it can be surrounded and annihilated." ”

"The general's clever plan, this battle will definitely be able to severely damage the Yan Guo's partial division." When the general heard this, he hurriedly complimented him.

"Hahaha!" When Wang Wu heard this, he laughed.

The sky soon darkened, and after nightfall, the 15,000 Wei army defending Lukou City, according to Wang Wu's order, secretly ambushed the place where the Yan division had to sneak attack on the south bank of the water, and quietly ambushed.

The reason why Wang Wu didn't ambush the army here earlier was because he was afraid that the army of Yan would find out and lose the opportunity to annihilate the enemy.

At the location of the ferry downstream of the water, Murong Ba saw that the sky had completely darkened, so he immediately ordered: "Order, immediately erect a pontoon bridge." ”

The 5,000-strong army was ordered to cut down a large number of trees and in a very short time temporarily build a pontoon bridge large enough to pass through the Guò cavalry.

"General, the pontoon bridge has been built, and you can cross the river." The general hurriedly reported.

Murong Ba stretched out his hand and waved, and ordered: "The whole army immediately crosses the river and drives the ......" After speaking, the first horse to pass the guò pontoon bridge.

Five thousand elite cavalry, under the leadership of Murong Ba, passed through the guò pontoon bridge in turn, and assembled on the east bank of the river.

After all the 5,000 elite cavalry were assembled, Murong Ba stretched out his hand and led this elite force to the south bank of the water defended by Wang Wu at the fastest speed, he wanted to defeat Wang Wu's team in the shortest possible time, and take Murong Ke's main army across the water.

The 15,000 Wei army ambushed in the place where Murong Ba's army must pass, the location here is extremely dangerous, except for the middle road, both sides are overgrown with weedy highlands, which is very suitable for ambush.

When Murong Ba led 5,000 cavalry to arrive at this location, he did not stop to check the situation ahead, but rushed directly into the ambush of the Wei army.

Halfway into the Wei army's ambush, Murong Ba was suddenly startled and ordered his team to stop advancing immediately, because he felt the unusual silence around him and felt that he had most likely been ambushed.

"General, why don't you leave?" The general hurriedly asked.

"Listen, why is it so quiet around, is our army already in ambush." Murong Ba whispered.

When the general heard this, he was shocked: "General, it seems that our army has really been ambushed, what should I do, retreat immediately?" ”

Murong Ba looked nervously at the sides, and suddenly, he was more sure of his judgment, and immediately ordered: "Retreat, the whole army retreats." ”

Under Murong Ba's order, the five thousand elite cavalry of the Yan Kingdom began to turn their horses' heads and prepare to retreat.

The Wei army that was ambushed on the high ground on both sides of the road, seeing that Murong Ba's army had just entered half of the ambush circle, waited anxiously, wanting to let them all enter the encirclement before they could launch a battle of encirclement and annihilation.

But after waiting for a while, Murong Ba's army not only did not continue to advance, but was already ready to retreat.

"General, the army of Yan is going to flee, give the order to attack!" A colonel said softly.

The commander of the Wei army ordered loudly: "Soldiers, release the arrows." ”

"Whoosh...... Wei crossbowmen who were ambushed on the high ground on both sides of the road fired the arrows in their hands with all their might, and hit Murong Ba's 5,000 cavalry with a dense rain of arrows.

"Uh......" The Yan cavalry was caught off guard, and the losses were extremely heavy, and many soldiers were shot into hedgehogs.

"Retreat, retreat at full speed." Seeing that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, Murong Ba shouted loudly and led the army to retreat.

"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow with all your might." The chief general of the Wei army shouted, telling his subordinates to release arrows with all their might.

The density of arrows shot by the crossbowmen of the Wei army was extremely dense, and the losses caused to the army of Yan were conceivable, and even Murong Ba himself was shot by the arrows of the Wei army, but the armor on Murong Ba's body was relatively thick, and the arrows only shot into the flesh, and did not hurt the vital point.

Fortunately, Murong Ba's army discovered the anomaly halfway through the ambush circle, otherwise, the consequences would have been even more severe.

Only 3,000 men and horses followed Murong Ba to escape from the encirclement of the Wei army, and the remaining 2,000 men and horses were all wiped out by the Wei army.

Seeing Murong Ba leading the army to flee, the commander of the Wei army ordered loudly: "The cavalry immediately mounts their horses and pursues the Yan army with the general." After speaking, he led five hundred soldiers and rode his horse to chase after him.

Seeing that the main general personally led his own soldiers to pursue the Yan army, the 5,000 cavalry of the Wei State followed one after another, and the 10,000 infantry also followed behind as the backing of the cavalry.

Murong Ba led the army under his command to flee all the way, and when he saw the main general of the Wei army personally leading the army to pursue behind, he couldn't help but be extremely angry.

The pontoon bridge at the ferry is very narrow, and it is impossible for three thousand cavalry to quickly cross the pontoon bridge, and once chased by the Wei army to the pontoon bridge, the soldiers and horses who cannot cross the river in a short time will be in a very disadvantageous situation.

The distance of more than ten miles is very far for the infantry, but for the cavalry, it is not a very long distance, and it didn't take long for Murong Ba and the three thousand soldiers and horses under his command to arrive at the position of the pontoon bridge.

Murong Ba rode his horse and stood on the edge of the pontoon bridge, looked at the three thousand soldiers beside him, and shouted: "Soldiers, the Wei army has been approaching, if you want to save your life, you must defeat the Wei army and kill ......" After speaking, he turned his horse's head and killed the Wei cavalry.

"Kill ......" three thousand elite cavalry of the Yan State, under the order of Murong Ba, suddenly turned their horses' heads and launched an attack on the Wei cavalry pursuing behind them.

The general of the Wei army, who was pursuing, did not expect the Yan army to suddenly kill the horse pistol, and was shocked for a while, and was slightly panicked.

Murong Ba took the lead, rode his horse directly to the position of the main general of the Wei army, and raised the weapon in his hand to prepare to fight.

"Soldiers, kill ......" The chief general of the Wei army did not show weakness, shouted loudly, and rode his horse to kill.

"Die!" Murong Ba raised his gun and fell, stabbed the main general of the Wei army who was coming to him from his horse, and continued to rush forward to kill.

The five thousand Wei cavalry, seeing that the main general was dead, were immediately shocked, and retreated back again and again. (To be continued......)
