Chapter Ninety-Two: Ambush

At the entrance of the canyon from southeast to northwest, in the wilderness about a few hundred meters away from the entrance, Li Zicheng, Ma Xin and a group of guards hid in it, looking at the direction of the entrance from afar, with a solemn and cold expression, and the latter said in confusion: "Boss, it's really strange, according to Lao Liu's aggressive character, it is long overdue to take action and sneak attack the follow-up troops of the official army." ”

Li Zicheng was unmoved, his eyes flashed in the direction of the entrance, as if he was thinking about something, and Ma Xin's mouth was still not idle.

"It shouldn't be, although Lao Liu only has two hundred people, but it is also a cavalry of Yishui, well-equipped, and the war horses are all good horses that travel thousands of miles a day, and the speed is extremely fast. It only takes a collective sprint to kill the follow-up troops of the officers and soldiers on their backs. Then, with a touch of the touch, turn the horse's head and flash the person. Even if there are 2,000 officers and soldiers, there is nothing they can do. ”

Ma Xin discussed a boring child, no one paid attention to him, and he couldn't help but be a little stupid, as soon as he was honest, Li Zicheng said meaningfully, still looking in that direction.

"Ma Xin, stop babbling, wait a little longer, the three thousand infantry of the official army will arrive soon, and you will soon know why Liu Fangliang did that?"

Ma Xin blinked his eyes inexplicably, flashed with doubt, scratched his head, and muttered: "I'm damn ~ Is Liu Fangliang holding back something bad?" Do you know how to play tricks? ”

Soon after, General Zhang led 3,000 infantry to the army, and the firearms battalion and the cannons drawn by donkeys and wagons walked in the middle. Without the cavalry's exploration and queen, this army was a little less powerful and majestic at the beginning. Going and returning, without any achievements, the mood of each soldier is not high.

Walking in the canyon, Zhang Zongbing looked up and looked around, carefully and cautiously, the scorching sun was in the sky, and everyone who was baking was physically and mentally exhausted; The squeaky sound of cicadas made everyone's hearts restless and restless.

Gradually, as all the three thousand people entered the canyon, Zhang Zongbing's feeling of restlessness suddenly became stronger, and his whole heart was pounding and beating violently, what did he just want to say?

Suddenly, a familiar rumbling sound came, deafening, and a black shadow covering the sky appeared in the sky, which made everyone startled, and Zhang Zongbing reacted even more, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and shouted loudly: "Hurry, speed up the march, throw away all the baggage, hurry through the canyon, don't get close to the sides, try to go to the middle!" ”

I saw that the dense rocks rolled down from both sides, carrying the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas, smashed into the canyon, and fell on the heads of the officers and soldiers, faintly cutting the ranks of the officers and soldiers in half.

Ah~ah~ah~

All kinds of screams were heard, mixed with the sound of falling rocks. The blood flowed like a pour, and the brains burst and stained the ground. Corpses lay there in all directions, their bodies deformed, or their heads were smashed, the whole scene was miserable, chaotic, and the formation was instantly destroyed and shattered.

The formation of the officers and soldiers was already in chaos, and everyone was running forward frantically, squeezing forward. Before Li Jiajun appeared, hundreds of officers and soldiers were trampled to death, and countless were seriously injured.

In this way, the chaotic scene lasted less than ten minutes, and the number of casualties among the officers and soldiers reached nearly 1,000, and the mourning was all over the field, and the cries of pain and sorrow resounded through the canyon. During the whole process, Mr. Zhang's war horse almost stagnated, and his voice was almost hoarse. The sweat all over his body soaked the armor, his forehead was even redder, and the wound that was smashed by the stone was bubbling with blood!

Mr. Zhang's eyes widened, and he looked at the scene in front of him in surprise and surprise, but he didn't expect that the ambush of the anti-thieves came to an abrupt end, and he didn't throw boulders again, and the road ahead was only half blocked, and he could still continue to pass.

Whoa...

Not long after the end of the rolling stones, the officers and soldiers did not have time to catch their breath, and a dense rain of arrows flew overhead, and the sound of arrows was wave after wave, continuous, and in the blink of an eye, they were submerged in the officers and troops. In an instant, nearly 100 soldiers were hit by arrows, like hedgehogs, falling to the ground, wailing again and again.

Ah~ah~ah~

Mr. Zhang fell down heavily, his consciousness gradually blurred, and in a trance, he understood everything, and finally knew Li Zicheng's overall plan.

Encircling Wei to save Zhao, sniping layer by layer, one link is closely linked to another, and there is no last resort. In particular, the reason why the current use of troops does not block the front and rear roads is that the officers and men have hope of escaping, and they cannot let go of a fight and fight to the death with the Li Jiajun.

As a general who has rich experience and has seen all kinds of scenes, Mr. Zhang knows deeply that giving the opponent the hope of escaping and chasing and killing from behind is far more important and wiser!

After all, if it's not a desperate situation, no one wants to die! Everyone has an instinct to escape!

Finally, Mr. Zhang fell to the ground, his eyes were closed, his face was calm, and there was a hint of peace lingering between his eyebrows.

From the day he joined the army, Zhang Zongbing had an awareness that the horse leather shroud was his final destination.

At the same time, Liu Fangliang came on horseback, followed by two hundred cavalry, wrapped in an incomparable momentum, galloping, rumbling horses' hooves, the rain of arrows disappeared, and the officers and soldiers without a commander were even more chaotic, and they all threw away their armor and wanted to run!

"Kill~ Brothers, the enemy is ahead, kill all these dogs and bandits of the court, who only know how to fish and flesh the people!"

Liu Fangliang kept shouting, and at this moment, his bloodthirsty and belligerent nature was truly revealed, and he was extremely crazy. The wooden shield in his left hand was folded and hung on the horse's belly, leaving him defenseless. He pulled out another steel knife, held the knife in both hands, and kept waving it, screaming wow, his eyes were as wide as copper bells, and the expression of blowing his beard and staring at his eyes made the hearts of the backward officers and men tremble.

In the blink of an eye, two hundred cavalry caught up, driving more than a thousand defeated troops to kill bravely, all of them were excited, just like bloodthirsty little demon kings, following Liu Fangliang and screaming, catching up with the official army is to slash horizontally and vertically.

For a time, the officers and soldiers were rapidly reduced, and the souls of the Shibang who were running at the forefront were all rising, stepping out of their legs vigorously, running indifferently, forgetting to resist, forgetting everything, and just wanting to leave this place!

Li Zicheng stood on the hillside, as if watching a good show, enjoying this scene, and his mouth was still slurking: "It's a pity, I didn't expect Liu Guangsheng's bullshit governor to be so stupid, he actually threw the tiger squat cannon to the infantry army, I don't know if the tiger squat cannon is placed on horseback, and the attack power of the cavalry has soared significantly?" This is good, after the war, I don't know how many bird guns and tiger squat cannons remain intact? ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zicheng showed a look of regret, a look of regret, and shook his head, as if someone had taken away his treasure, and the smashed fire gun and tiger squat cannon were his, and there was a pain in his flesh.

Ma Xin on the side was dumbfounded and dumbfounded, shaking the scene in the canyon, it was completely a massacre of one side against the other, as long as a small number of officers and soldiers gave up fleeing and were resisting.

Seeing this situation, Ma Xin didn't have any pity, but muttered: "Damn, this sneak attack on Liu's head is really timely, and the timing is just right." Taking advantage of the panic of the officers and soldiers, they fled one after another, and suddenly killed from behind, which was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire and completely cutting off the will of the officers and soldiers to resist. Damn, when did Liu's head become so smart? ”

After involuntarily exclaiming, Ma Xin immediately suddenly wondered why the boss didn't blame Liu Fangliang for changing the plan, but was very supportive. If this continues, it would be good if the remaining officers and soldiers escaped from the mouth of the canyon and survived a few hundred people.

Obviously, Liu Fangliang is now launching a fierce sneak attack, which is far more effective than the previous one! With less than 1,000 troops, nearly 3,000 officers and soldiers were wiped out at once, and countless weapons were captured, and the number of casualties was very small, only a few dozen.

Of course, this casualty figure does not include the brothers in Lanzhou City.

At this time, Li Zicheng's expression narrowed, his eyebrows raised, and he said lightly: "Ma Xin, immediately convey my order to Wu Ruyi and Yuan Zongdi, let them leave four hundred people to clean up the battlefield, and all the rest rush to Lanzhou City to pick up Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu to come back, so as not to have an accident on the way they retreat." ”

Hearing this, Ma Xin's heart suddenly sank, and then he remembered that Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu only took away 800 brothers, and the surprise soldiers raided, maybe they could take Lanzhou City and control it for a short time. However, this state of control will never exceed half a day.

Because, the city defense army of Lanzhou City is nearly 1,000 people, once it is known that Li Guo and others are not as many as their troops, if the city defense army colludes with the soldiers of Su Wangfu and then get together. No matter how elite the people led by Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu were, they could no longer control Lanzhou City. If you want to preserve your combat effectiveness, you can only withdraw from Lanzhou City.

Otherwise, what will be left for them is the annihilation of the entire army, all of them killed in battle, and the tactics of the sea of people will be worn out. After all, once they were entangled by the city guards and the soldiers of King Su's Mansion, Liu Guangsheng and King Su Zhu Zhihong rushed back with 2,000 cavalry, and it was impossible for Li Guo and others to withdraw from Lanzhou City.

As soon as Li Zicheng's words ended, Ma Xin immediately replied: "Yes, boss, I will convey your order to Yuan Zongdi and Wu Ruyi now, and let them lead troops to meet Li Guo and the others." ”

Hearing Ma Xin's answer, Li Zicheng nodded calmly, looking at the depths of the canyon, the corpses all over the ground, with blood stains everywhere, his eyes were gloomy, as if he was thinking about something, and the temperament of the whole person changed, faintly worried.
