After Zhang Wen led the army to occupy Qinchuan City, although he thought that he had gained a lot, he also knew the severity of the current situation, so he immediately asked Sun Jian and Chen Gong for advice.

Chen Gong had already received Yang Tian's flying pigeon biography a day earlier, and knew Yang Tian's deployment of the subsequent plot war, and he also had the same idea as Yang Tian and the others. When Zhang Wen asked now, he immediately said this.

Sun Jian is also a smart person, and his strategic vision is comparable to that of Chen Gong, so after a little thought, he also agreed with Chen Gong's statement. After a little discussion, the three of them decided that Chen Gong would lead an army of one million to stay in Qinchuan City, and the rest of the men and horses would return to Hanxing with Zhang Wen to prevent the rebels in Hanxing and Fufeng from expanding their power.

……

About a hundred kilometers northeast of Di Dao City, Yang Tian led his army and the imperial army to finally withdraw from the station, but at this time, the 500,000 cavalry led by Yan Xing had already chased to the back of the army for more than ten kilometers, and with the speed of the cavalry, I believe that they would soon be able to catch up.

Yan Xing didn't feel anything wrong at this time, and followed the direction of the imperial army's march. He is very confident in the strength of his army, as long as he does not fall into the encirclement of the other party, the other party is helpless against him.

And at this moment, he had just received the news that the speed of the imperial army had finally returned to normal, and it was rapidly rushing towards Di Dao City.

After Yan Xing heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer, the other party wouldn't think that Di Dao City was a soft egg that could be kneaded wantonly, right? In the case of chasing soldiers behind, he still wanted to attack Didao City.

At that moment, Yan Xing ordered someone to send a message to Han Sui, informing the other party of the situation on this side in detail, and at the same time asking his own army to speed up, bite the other party's tail as soon as possible, and fight with the other party before the other party attacked Di Dao City, so as to hit the other party's morale.

However, what Yan Xing didn't know was that the forward troops of the army had already turned around at this time, divided into two wings and outflanked the rear.

Countless cavalry swept away in the direction of the departure of the imperial army with smoke and dust, and within a few minutes, the distance of more than ten kilometers was left behind, and Yan Xing, who was at the forefront, could already see the army behind the imperial army. It's just that the opponent's army is too huge, and all the way there, there is yellow sand everywhere, and it is impossible to see the situation in the distance at all. However, Yan Xing was not worried, as long as there was no ambush around, even if the imperial army had any conspiracies and tricks ahead, it would have no effect on it. And here is a bare area around it, and there is nothing but the dry sand on the ground, how can you ambush?

"Kill...... Don't go head-to-head with the opponent, take advantage of the speed of the cavalry, and fight with the opponent! Yan Xing gave the order, and in the current situation, this was undoubtedly the most correct choice.

At this moment, a scout suddenly rushed back, came to Yan Xing's side, and immediately said, "Lord Qiqi, the advance of the imperial army has turned around and outflanked us from both sides, and now it is still three or four kilometers away from our army. ”

When Yan Xing heard this, he immediately understood the other party's plan, and his feeling was that he knew that he was chasing after him, and he planned to dig a trap to make himself jump! But it seems that the other party underestimated the speed of his cavalry, right?

"Immediately give the order, and the rear army will move forward and withdraw from the other party's encirclement." Yan Xing immediately said, in his opinion, if the other party wants to close the encirclement now, it will take at least ten minutes, and for the cavalry, ten minutes is enough time for it to run ten kilometers away, and it is impossible for the imperial army to encircle it.

However, just as the rebel army stopped and was about to turn around, there was a sudden noise around them, and then they saw a continuous burst of sand and dust on the ground not far from them, and then they saw soldiers armed with spears and other weapons emerging from the ground, screaming loudly and killing them. And this kind of scene is on the east and west sides. The only thing that did not find the ambush was the north side where they had marched and the road in the direction where the imperial army had withdrawn.

After a short period of distraction, Yan Xing immediately shouted: "Quick! Break out to the north now! ”

A word reminded the rebel cavalry, who was still in shock, and they all slapped their mounts and rushed towards the north. This is also the only direction they can evacuate, because the south is the direction in which the imperial army is advancing, so rushing over is no different from throwing themselves into the net, and the east and west sides are the troops outflanked by the imperial army, so rushing over will undoubtedly need to break through the two defense lines of the other side, and it will take more time. And this time, Yan Xing can't afford to delay it now. If they were encircled, their cavalry would become fish on the beach, and they would never be able to jump back again.

Yan Xing never thought that the other party would spend so much effort to bury people in the ground, you must know that the risk of doing so is very great, in case Yan Xing's cavalry did not walk in the direction of the imperial army's previous march and moved a distance to both sides, wouldn't it trample through the place where they were ambushed? In this way, the people who are ambushed under the ground are steel and iron bones, and it is estimated that they will also be trampled into a pile of flesh by the iron hooves of the cavalry.

Suddenly, Yan Xing thought back to the surrounding terrain in his mind, and suddenly wondered why the other party was so bold, because the surroundings in this area were very flat, but there was a lot of sand, and on the soft yellow sand, it was indeed not suitable for cavalry to attack. This is also the reason why Yan Xing has been chasing after the imperial army. It's just that he didn't subconsciously care about this factor before, he just felt that it was natural to follow behind, but he didn't know that the other party had dug such a big hole for him here.

At this moment, Yan Xing couldn't help but think too much, because the soldiers who emerged from both sides had already closed in the north, blocking their retreat. After all, although Yan Xing's order had already been issued, their formation was too long, and it was already a minute after the rear army received the order, and this minute had become the most critical minute. Now if these rebel cavalry want to escape, they can only rely on their excellent strength to fight their way out.

However, these rebel cavalry were very confident in their own strength, and in the face of this surging imperial army, they did not have any fear, and rushed towards each other on horseback.

However, as soon as the two sides came into contact, they decided that the army that rushed to the north to intercept them was an ordinary army! All of them were strong and perverted people, especially the thousand-man squad that rushed in the middle, and actually launched a counter-charge towards the cavalry, but the result was that they really rushed to the front of the cavalry, and the losses of the other party were minimal. Although the rebel cavalry did not have much distance to accelerate their start, they could not ignore the strength of the other side. (To be continued)
