Chapter 744: Ambush Exhausted

The night is deep, there is no moon tonight, and the characters are difficult to distinguish more than a dozen steps away, which is suitable for ambushes.

Five thousand five hundred Khitan knights quietly hid on the banks of the Sunset River, and although they did not dare to speak, the horses also tightened their chews to prevent them from suddenly raising their heads to the sky and revealing their whereabouts with a long neigh.

Five thousand five hundred men, five thousand five hundred horses, even if the sound of breathing came together, it was a sound that could not be hidden, but the roar of the river believed this very well, and if the Zhou army rushed closer to find them, it would have been too late.

The Khitans have already eaten a lot of sweetness when they fight the ambush of the Zhou army, their population is too small to withstand the consumption of the Zhou army, and this tactic is the most suitable. Therefore, they habitually wanted to use the method of ambush to eliminate the Zhou army in Qianjinye City.

A commander quietly approached Luo Wuquan, the commander of the ambush army, and said in a low voice: "Big leader, the Zhou army hasn't moved yet, will they not dare to send troops?" ”

Luo Wuquan saw that Zhou Jun was delayed, and was a little annoyed, and said when he heard this: "It's been three watches, they haven't moved at all, I think it's really enough to choke and come, his grandmother's, is it possible that I put too many people and horses in Macheng and scared them?" I only sent 10,000 horses, so they won't dare to send troops. ”

After Sun Wanrong commanded the Khitan army and defeated the Zhou army at the Dongxia Stone Valley, their entire strategic intentions began to change. Previously, they had been living everywhere, fighting on the move, and had no long-term plans at all, to put it mildly, they were just a group of rootless rogues, even if they could achieve some temporary victories, they would easily collapse in the event of a setback.

Since Sun Wanrong defeated the Zhou army in the Dongxia Stone Valley, and even Wang Xiaojie was killed, they began to establish a strategy, continued to unite with the Xi people externally, and began to prepare for an alliance with the Turks. Internally, they began to establish their own bases.

They have not yet sent people to the Turkic Alliance, the Turks are a powerful race, will become a powerful ally, but at the same time a dangerous ally, the Turks are capricious, profit-seeking, and pay less attention to the constraints of the contract oath than the Khitans, they need to arrange everything first, establish their own territory, and then negotiate an alliance with the Turks.

Therefore. The capture of Macheng and Qianjinye City became a key step in their establishment of strongholds, and they attacked Lulong several times, and the Zhou army sent troops from this direction to relieve the siege of Lulong, although the rescue operations failed one after another, allowing them to take advantage of it. But because of this, they destroyed the Jihua that they occupied Lulong.

Now only by defeating these two cities can Lu Long be solved. Because it's so important. Sun Wanrong sent his right-hand man, Luo Wuquan, to take charge of this matter personally.

Luo Wu chewed a piece of hay, walked around the same place twice, and made a decision: "Wait a little longer, if the Zhou army really can't shrink, then we will turn around and attack the north city of Macheng, and attack from north to south." Take this city first, and then try to make a thousand gold. ”

As soon as Luo Wuquan's words fell, the soldiers suddenly made a commotion, and Luo Wuquan was furious. He shouted: "Whoever says a word in vain, kill!" Who would dare to disobey military orders? ”

"Look, Archon! Look there! ”

His generals ignored his threat, but rushed to the front and pointed in one direction for him to see. Luo Wuquan hurriedly turned around to look, only to see the fire shining in the distance, in the night, the firelight because of the distance, I can't see how powerful it is, but because of its remoteness, it can be seen that the fire is big.

Luo Wucheng was shocked: "Pingjiaao! Something happened to Heijiaao! ”

The commander next to him said in surprise: "The Zhou army has such a great ability, how do they know where our grain and baggage are stored?" ”

Luo Wu said: "This is Wu Zhou's territory, there must be a mountain villager who reported the matter of our grain Pingjiaao to Zhou Jun!" ”

The commander hurriedly said, "Big leader, what should we do?" If the grain and grass are burned, our tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will have nowhere to live. ”

Luo Wu looked up to the sky: "Hahahaha, can you defeat me if you attack my granary?" I left 3,000 elite soldiers in Pingjiaao, and with the dangerous terrain of the mountain pass, no matter how many soldiers and horses they had, they would not want to capture it for a while! When my soldiers sent out to Macheng, I instructed the remaining men and horses to set fire to warn if they were attacked by the enemy, this must be a sneak attack by the Zhou army, and they released a warning signal! ”

Luo Wu said excitedly: "Order, all get on the horse, rush to Pingjiaao, be sure to rob this group of Zhou troops who attacked my rear camp, and wipe them out!" ”

Luo Wucheng gave an order, the Khitan knights untied the horse's chew one after another, removed the soft cloth wrapped in the horse's hooves, and after a while, the front outpost rode the way, and the whole army lit torches, and killed Pingjiaao at a gallop against the starry sky.

"Quick! Fast! Hurry up! ”

Luo Wuquan whipped his horse and urged his soldiers loudly.

Riding a horse at night, I can't be too fast, but fortunately, I sent a sentry horse to guide the way, and the whole army lit torches, illuminating the entire road, so that the war horse can move forward at a speed of sixty percent in peacetime, more than 20 miles away, at such a speed, the loss of horsepower is actually great, but Luo Wuquan did not dare to delay, he was afraid that as soon as the fire alarm signal came out, the Zhou army's sneak attack was blocked, so he retreated decisively, in order to avoid the Zhou army escaping, he also deliberately made a detour, copied from the back road of the Zhou army.

"Karala ......"

As the army was marching, the trees on both sides of the road suddenly fell one after another, smashing the huge canopy like a giant umbrella into the countless knights in the middle of the road, and then the sound of killing was everywhere, and countless sharp arrows shot from the night.

A torch is the most haode target, and a sharp arrow that is thrown and fired directly, even if the head is not so good, is enough to cause a lot of damage if it is shot down in such a covering way.

"Not good, there is an ambush! Quick, disperse to the side of the road! ”

Luo Wu pulled out the knife and shouted loudly.

Before he could say a word, a tall and sturdy horse stood out in the darkness, like a ghost emerging from the night, but the momentum it was carrying was incomparable, like a roaring beast, Ma Qiao sat on a horse, holding a bright saber, slashing left and right, and killed into the chaotic crowd.

"Kill! Kill! ”

Countless knights swarmed from both sides of the road, in addition to the cavalry and many foot soldiers, they either held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, cutting the horse's legs and stabbing the horse's belly, or holding a long spear, taking advantage of the chaos of the scene, the Khitan cavalry could not play the advantage of speed at all, taking advantage of the darkness. Stab the sharp tip of the spear into the chest of the Khitans.

Many people in the Zhou army have such and such injuries, and some of them are not well injured, but once they enter the enemy formation, their blood is boiling, and they have long forgotten everything, only remembering to desperately wave the weapons in their hands, listening to the "poof" sound of the sharp weapon piercing into the human body, listening to the screams of the enemy, and killing even more fiercely.

They are all survivors of the battle in Huangzhang Valley, and they have not forgotten how they escaped death. I have not forgotten those comrades-in-arms who died in battle, some of them are villagers and neighbors who enlisted in the army together, some are relatives and friends who are close to each other, and some are robes who sleep in the same big tent and eat in the same rice pot.

They all died in the Yellow Deer Valley, and at this moment. It's time for revenge!

The Zhou army who came out of the darkness was like a devil with revenge. The Khitans who have not lost their breath. They did not forget to make up for the stabs, and the Khitans who tried to escape, they rushed forward regardless of the danger, knocked them over with their horses, and those who did not ride horses threw themselves under the belly of the horse, cut off the horse's legs, and stabbed the horse's belly. In a word...... Everyone has to stay, and no one can leave!

Tonight is a night of reckoning with hatred!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The Khitan general Xing Kai'er stood on the hill and looked into the distance. After listening intently for a while, the fire that had suddenly burned had gradually been extinguished, and it was no longer clear to see from a hill, but the sound of the battle came clearly in this silent night, even from a mountain.

"What's going on? What the hell is going on? ”

Although he had sent scouts, but across a mountain, although it looked close, it was not so simple to go down the mountain and climb around the mountain, and he had not been rewarded yet. However, he had already vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it.

They were ambushed by the Zhou army.

Tonight, Xing Kaier was patrolling various police posts when he suddenly found a fire on the mountain in front of him.

Xing Kai'er was not worried at first, he thought that it was just a mountain fire that had suddenly ignited, and it was impossible for this fire to burn, so they chose a place to store grain, and naturally they would not choose a place with dense trees.

The mountains in the north are not covered by jungle everywhere, especially in this area, not to mention winter, even in spring and summer, the slope in front of it is a large area of black rocks, only a few small trees and wild grasses are full of it, and the fire cannot burn.

But he immediately felt bad, because Luo Da Leader had instructed that if there was a Zhou army attacking the mountain, the beacon fire should be used as a warning, and he knew that Luo Wucheng was setting up an ambush tonight to prepare to hit the Zhou army by surprise, if Luo Da Leader saw the fire and thought that he was warning him, wouldn't it hurt the big leader's Jihua.

Xing Kai'er immediately sent people to the ambush place to report the situation, and at the same time sent people to climb the hillside where the fire broke out to see the situation, and the result was ...... I don't know if the person who sent the report has arrived, and the person who went to Qianshan to investigate the situation has never returned, but at this moment, there is a constant shouting of killing, isn't it obvious?

Several small leaders were so anxious that they asked for battle: "The criminal leader, this must be the design of the Zhou army, the people and horses we came back to help were ambushed, the criminal leader should immediately gather troops and horses to rush to reinforcements, the Zhou army only has a part of Qianjinye City, it is expected that there will not be too much, we have 3,000 people, it will play a big role!" ”

Xing Kaier was still hesitating: "The big boss ordered me to guard the grain and grass, this is the foundation of our army, in case there is a loss ......"

Luo Wucheng's brother-in-law quit, and he burst out and scolded loudly.

"It's a fart! There are cliffs on both sides, can Zhou Jun climb up? If only three or five people come up, there will be a bird! And if the Zhou army wants to attack this valley, it must first pass through the mountain in front, and there is a fierce battle in front, can the Zhou army pass? You only need to leave three or five hundred people to take care of it, why not go to reinforcements for the others! The surname is torture, could it be that you are greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

Xing Kai's ears were so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted: "Yang Mei, don't rely on the prestige of Luo Da Leader, just treat me no big or small." I'm in charge here! ”

When the leaders saw it, they stepped forward to persuade them, but they still thought that they should rush to the front mountain to help. Xing Kai'er was helpless, so he had to order: "Leave four hundred people to guard the grain and grass, and the others will be led by this commander, and immediately rush to the front mountain to support!" ”

As soon as the punishment was opened, the three thousand Khitan soldiers immediately got busy.

At this time, Yang Fan had just climbed onto the cliff where Pingjiaao stood on the wall, and the mountain wind was howling, blowing his clothes and hunting trembling!
