Chapter 799: Deng Qiang is in ambush
Deng Qiang led an army of 30,000 under his command to pursue in the direction of the withdrawal of the Yan army, which was naturally immediately seen by Hua'an on the high platform on the south bank.
Seeing that Deng Qiang's army rashly launched a pursuit, Hua An was greatly annoyed, and loudly asked the henchman lieutenant who was responsible for conveying the order next to him, but the henchman lieutenant made it clear that the order had reached Deng Qiang's army, and it was Deng Qiang's disobedience to the order, not that they did not deliver the order in time.
"This Deng Qiang actually dared to disobey the order, if he led the troops alone, he could have the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, at this time, the king is on the south bank, he actually dared to disobey the order, it is really unreasonable." Hua An said angrily.
When Wang San heard this, he said softly: "The king doesn't need to be angry, perhaps, General Deng was afraid that the main army of the Yan Kingdom would run away, so he immediately launched a fierce pursuit, with General Deng's strength, it should be fine." ”
Hua An thought for a moment, and said: "The main force of the Yan army has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Deng Qiang only has 30,000 cavalry in his hands, and the strength is very different. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange it myself." Wang San answered, immediately stepped off the high platform, and went to arrange the task in person.
At this moment, there is no shadow of the Yan army on the north bank of Tuoshui, and Hua'an naturally does not need to continue to stay on the high platform to observe. After a pause, he stepped down from the high platform, led his own soldiers, and rode his horse to the north bank of Tuoshui.
Thirty miles north of Tuoshui, Murong Ke and the main army under his command stopped in an open area.
Murong Ke took a fancy to the terrain here, and thought that this place was the most suitable place for his iron cavalry to give full play to his advantages.
The terrain is extremely open and slightly undulating, which is very conducive to the rapid maneuvering of cavalry, and at the same time makes it difficult for charioteers to take advantage of it. Murong Ke believed. As long as an ambush is set up here, it will inevitably be able to rely on the powerful power of the iron rope cavalry to inflict heavy damage on the soldiers and horses of the Jin army in one fell swoop.
"Fourth brother, are you planning to ambush the Jin Kingdom's forward soldiers and horses here?" Seeing that Murong Ke ordered to stop advancing. Murong Ba asked loudly.
Murong Ke nodded. Zhengse said: "That's right. The terrain here is open enough, which is very conducive to the advantages of our army's wire cavalry, and. The undulating terrain is not conducive to the Jin army's charioteers to give full play to their advantages, and setting up an ambush here will inevitably greatly defeat the Jin army's soldiers and horses, thus changing the decline of our army's continuous rout. ”
When Murong Ba heard this, he thought so, and nodded: "The fourth brother is very thoughtful, and if you set up an ambush here, you will definitely be able to defeat the soldiers and horses of the Jin army." ”
"General, the Jin army forward has caught up." At this moment, the news came that the Jin army was chasing after them.
"How many soldiers and horses are there, and who are the leading generals?" Murong Ke hurriedly asked.
"There are 30,000 cavalry, and the leading general is the Jin general Deng Qiang." The scout replied truthfully.
When Murong Ke heard this, he smiled and said softly: "Deng Qiang led 30,000 cavalry to come, this is the perfect opportunity for our army's iron cavalry to give full play to its advantages, and immediately pass on the order, so that the whole army can immediately prepare for battle." ”
"Yes, Fourth Brother." Murong Ba replied loudly.
Subsequently, the 50,000 iron rope cavalry under the command of Murong Ke immediately began to disperse the arrangement, of which, 20,000 iron rope cavalry were deployed on the east and west sides, only 10,000 iron rope cavalry were deployed in the north direction, and the remaining 50,000 elite cavalry were deployed in the north direction to cope with the actions of the iron rope cavalry.
After being ready, the main army of 100,000 of Yan State was ready to wait for Deng Qiang's army to throw itself into the net.
Because the iron cavalry of the Yan State on the left and right flanks were ambushed behind the hills, and they were three miles away from the main road, when Deng Qiang entered the encirclement of the Yan army, he did not have any abnormal direction and ran straight in.
"General, there is the Yan cavalry in front, they have already set up a posture, and it seems that they are going to fight a decisive battle with our army!" A subordinate general saw the neatly lined Yan army due north and reminded loudly.
Deng Qiang naturally saw the Yan cavalry in the direction of the north a long time ago, but he was brave and did not take the defeated Yan army in his eyes at all, and decided to immediately lead the whole army and launch a fierce attack.
"Soldiers, the army of Yan is in front, attack on all fronts, kill ......" Deng Qiang gave the order to attack on all fronts.
"Kill ......" 30,000 Jin cavalry, roaring in the direction of the main army of Yan State.
Seeing that Deng Qiang's army actually launched an attack on his own Chinese army without his own strength, a sneer appeared at the corner of Murong Ke's mouth, at this moment, the arrogance of the soldiers of the Jin army has reached the limit, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to take advantage of.
"Fourth brother, the Jin army is too arrogant, with only 30,000 cavalry, it dares to attack our army." Murong Ba was also extremely shocked by Deng Qiang's crazy actions.
When Murong Ke heard this, he smiled, and said: "The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, Deng Qiang will definitely pay the price for the proud and light enemy, pass the order, the iron cavalry on both wings, immediately launch an attack, and fully surround the Jin cavalry." ”
"Yes, Fourth Brother." Murong Ba replied loudly, and then conveyed the order for the two wings to immediately outflank.
With a burst of wolf smoke, rising from the rear of the Yan army's formation, the Yan army's iron rope cavalry, which was ambushed on the left and right flanks, immediately lined up in a neat formation, surrounded the Deng Qiang army, and formed a thick smoke and dust on both wings.
"General, there are a large number of ambushes on the left and right flanks of the Yan army." A subordinate general suddenly discovered a huge amount of smoke and dust on the left and right wings.
Deng Qiang looked left and right, and was a little surprised in his heart, and after a pause, he ordered loudly: "The whole army continues to attack and break the Yan army." ”
At this moment, the Yan army on the left and right flanks is a great threat to the Deng Qiang army, but if it retreats in an all-round way at this time, it will greatly damage the morale of the Jin army, and thus end up in the dilemma of being chased and killed by the main force of the Yan army.
However, the development of the shape shì was not as smooth as Deng Qiang expected, and the combat power of the Yan cavalry was not as weak as Deng Qiang imagined, and the iron cavalry on both sides formed a powerful roundabout attack corps, which soon surrounded Deng Qiang's corps and immediately launched a siege.
The Rope Cavalry is a chain that binds elite cavalry together, allowing individual cavalry to form a single unit, thereby increasing their attack power.
If you want to fight the powerful Wire Cavalry, you must rely on more powerful troops, such as heavy chariots, and of course, you can also use infantry weapons such as hook and sickle guns, but for the Deng Qiang Legion, you have neither of these things, and for this reason, you are no match for the Iron Rope Cavalry.
Under the reflection of the sunlight, the large iron rope emitted a cold light, and the violent tremor made the iron cable make a crisp clicking sound, and the momentum of the iron rope cavalry made the 30,000 soldiers under the command of Deng Qiang feel a little frightened, and had a premonition that the situation was not good.
However, at this time, it has been surrounded by the army of the Yan Kingdom, and it is no longer possible to evacuate, so for this reason, the only way to attack is to strive forward.
The offensive power of the iron rope cavalry is extremely terrifying, as soon as the battle is engaged, Deng Qiang's army is completely at a disadvantage, and after a fight, it is even more inflicted, which makes Deng Qiang and his soldiers anxious.
"General, the Yan army has besieged our legion, if the follow-up main army cannot be quickly reinforced, our army is very likely to be wiped out!" A subordinate general said anxiously.
Deng Qiang said loudly: "The main force of our army must have all crossed Tuoshui, as long as it lasts for a few hours, the follow-up main force will definitely come up with reinforcements." ”
At this moment, in addition to resisting the attack of the Yan army's iron rope cavalry, Deng Qiang has no better way, after all, they have all been surrounded, and it is very difficult to break out of the encirclement composed of iron rope cavalry, and the iron rope between the Yan army's war horses can somewhat block the breakthrough of the Jin cavalry.
The encirclement formed by the Yan army's iron chain cavalry was gradually shrinking, which brought great pressure to the encircled Deng Qiang army, but soon, the 20,000 cavalry under Wang Wu and the 10,000 cavalry under Zhuge Xiong arrived at the battlefield together, and launched an attack on the Yan army's iron chain cavalry from the south, preparing to tear a hole to rescue the encircled Deng Qiang army.
At this time, under the continuous attack of the Yan army's iron cavalry, Deng Qiang's army had suffered more than half of the casualties, and seeing the arrival of reinforcements from the rear, Deng Qiang immediately ordered the whole army to attack south, preparing to open the gap with the rescued soldiers and horses, so as to escape from the encirclement.
Seeing the 30,000 cavalry reinforcements of the Jin army, the corners of Murong Ke's mouth sneered slightly, at this moment, the Deng Qiang army has lost half of its combat effectiveness, even if there are 30,000 Jin army reinforcements, it is still not the opponent of the iron cavalry under his command, and there is no doubt that the Jin army will be defeated in this battle.
"Fourth brother, the Jin army has another 30,000 cavalry, today, the results of our army must be extremely brilliant!" Murong Ba said excitedly.
Murong Ke smiled and said softly: "This is the consequence of the Jin army's underestimation of the enemy, today's battle can be said to have greatly increased the prestige of our army and greatly damaged the morale of the Jin army." After speaking, there was a slight smug look on his face.
"This is all the result of the fourth brother's strategy, and the victory in this battle is all due to the fourth brother." Murong Ba complimented loudly.
Murong Ke smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth and did not answer.
"Report, General, Gaoyang City has been besieged by the main force of the Jin army." Just when Murong Ke was proud, very unfavorable news came from the direction of Gaoyang City.
When Murong Ke and Murong Ba heard this, they were all shocked, they didn't expect that the main force of the Jin army would appear in the direction of Gaoyang City, if this matter was true, the main force of the Jin army could be said to have cut off their own back road. (To be continued......)
