When the night guerrilla army had just marched to the boundary of Hanchang City, it fell into an ambush circle laid by the ghost army first!

The ghost army can be said to have been dispatched this time, not only in large numbers, but even the ghost marshal who has been secretly following his whereabouts also appeared, personally leading two thousand elites to raid the position of the right army of the night tour. Impatiently, the right army of the night tour suffered heavy losses, and even the Yin generals who led the team were killed on the spot.

Marshal Yeyou made a quick decision, ordered the regrouping of the formation, and at the same time personally led the Chinese army to support the right army, and directly exchanged hands with the ghost marshal!

The cultivation of the marshal of the night tour has reached the sixth level, and the ghost handsome seems to be at least a ghost king, and it is the people who have the advantage after one person and one ghost are handed over. Because, under the seat of the marshal of the night tour, there was also a tall hellhound, which was extremely fierce, and pounced on the ghost marshal several times to bite the ghost king.

Ghost Shuai didn't ride a mount, so he suffered a loss from this point. But its marksmanship is really good, both offensive and defensive, tiger and tiger, even with the iron gun in his hand to defeat two, and even seized the opportunity to kick the hellhound a few times.

The nature of dogs is like this, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, bullying others, even if the hellhound is the first vicious dog in the underworld, it can't change such a problem. After taking a few kicks, the cerberus under the seat of Marshal Night Tour was obviously cowardly and did not dare to pounce any further.

As a result, the marshal of the night tour, who originally had a slight advantage, was affected, and he could only fight on an equal footing with the ghost marshal.

Yeyou was furious and scolded: "Useless brute! I'll stew you when I go back! ”

However, although Marshal Night Tour failed to win the battle with Ghost Shuai, once he and the Chinese army contained Ghost Shuai and the elite of the Ghost Army that it brought to carry out the surprise attack, the Night Tour Army was able to seize the opportunity to complete the formation change. The front, center, rear, left, and right armies flattened the formation of the whole army in accordance with the order of Marshal Yeyou, and quickly changed from a long snake formation on the march to a circular formation.

Although constrained by the narrow length of the terrain, the Night Rangers barely stood in an oval shape in the end. But this was enough, the void within the Yin Army was effectively filled, and the attempt of the elite of the Ghost Army to cut off the Yin Army was completely failed!

Moreover, after all, the overall combat effectiveness of the Yin Army is still stronger than that of the Ghost Army. In addition to the elite of the ghost army, the average ghost soldier does not even have armor on his body, only weapons in his hands, and some of them are obviously shoddy. Their tactical discipline was even worse, they broke up as they fought, and there was no formation to speak of.

In fact, it was with the success of the ambush tactics and the ruthlessness at the beginning that the night guerrilla army was caught off guard, and once the night guerrilla army eased up, the ghost army suddenly lost ground, and the battle situation gradually developed in our favor.

The iron spear in the hand of the ghost marshal attacked fiercely, forcing the marshal of the night tour to take a few steps back and take a defensive position. But the ghost marshal had no intention of continuing the pursuit, but suddenly shouted loudly: "Retreat!" Fall back! ”

It turned out that it saw that the general situation was not good, and it decisively ordered a retreat before the ghost army was completely defeated. The elite of the ghost army took the lead in leaving the battlefield under the cover of the ghost marshal, and the rest of the ordinary ghost soldiers scattered far away, and the remaining small part of the scattered ghost soldiers who had rushed into the Yin army formation were all killed or captured by the Yin army because they could not escape.

"Want to run? No way! ”

Seeing this, Marshal Yeyou hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to stop the ghost marshal. But Ghost Shuai's heads-up strength is obviously slightly higher than him, and he only sneered and retreated, very calmly. When his subordinates had almost retreated, the ghost shuai suddenly jumped back, turned into a puff of black smoke and burrowed into a narrow gap in the stone wall, and disappeared!

The main force of this group of ghost troops suddenly appeared and disappeared in an instant, and their whereabouts were just like their nature, coming and going like ghosts. This ghost marshal is also decisive in killing, decisive in retreat, when he takes advantage, he rushes and fights to expand the results, and when he sees that the momentum is not right, he immediately retreats to preserve his strength, and he commands the battle without dragging his feet, and it seems that he is also an extremely outstanding general!

Marshal Night Tour, who was ruthlessly "played" by the ghost marshal, was extremely angry, and immediately ordered the left army and the rear army, which had suffered smaller losses, to pursue the ghost army along the left and right forks of the three-way crossing.

Because the night tour army led by Gan Sheng was located in a backward position and did not fall directly into the ambush circle, it was able to complete the formation and approach relatively smoothly without suffering major losses. In the rear, my 8th Battalion was again at the rear, so that no matter how lively the battle was in front, I could only act as a spectator most of the time.

After the night tour, the army chased out of the fork on the right for less than three miles, and was ambushed again by a small group of ghost troops. It's just that Gan Sheng, the yin general who led the team, was cautious, and he didn't plan to pursue it with all his might, so he stopped the team in time to avoid being "dumpled" by the ghost army again.

Seeing that we would not be fooled, the ghost army still hid behind stalactites and shot arrows. Gao Jia commanded the two Green Arrow battalions of the rear army to also counterattack, and the two sides went back and forth, even competing in archery. After a quarter of an hour, it is estimated that the majority of the ghost army has retreated, and even these broken archers have disappeared.

Gan Sheng also seemed to be secretly relieved, no longer led the army to chase, and then ordered the army to withdraw after the night tour to return to life.

To be sure, Gan Sheng was right. At this time, the main force of the night guerrilla army suffered heavy losses, its morale was damaged, and it was simply powerless and uncertain to pursue the fleeing ghost army, but it was easy to fall into the serial trap of the ghost army again. At this time, the most important thing to do is to gather troops, rescue the wounded and clean up the battlefield.

Sure enough, Zhang Pu, the yin general of the left army at night, also planned to do so. He led the team to turn around in a slight gesture in the left fork, and even returned without firing an arrow, and not a single ghost soldier found it. However, at this time, the marshal of the night tour had also calmed down and did not reprimand the two of them harshly.

This battle of ambush and breakthrough lasted less than an hour, but the casualty rate was very high. After counting the number of people, it was found that the night guerrilla army, which claimed to be full of 6,000 but was actually only about 5,000, had killed more than 1,500 people and wounded more than 2,000 people, and the casualty rate was more than half!

And on the ghost army's side, because the ghost soldiers who died in battle have all been scattered, it is impossible to count them accurately. But judging from the battle situation just now, the casualties of the ghost army should be about the same as that of the Yin army. In addition, the Night Rangers only captured more than 100 ghost soldiers who could not escape as prisoners in the end.

In this encounter, the two sides seem to have a draw on the surface, but in terms of the combat effectiveness that the Yin Army should have, the battle loss rate of one to one is simply a huge shame!

After a half-day rest, Marshal Night Tour called a meeting of all the officers of the army at the rank of general and above to discuss the next action. Due to the death of one Yin General and twelve Yin Colonels in this battle, the originally quite crowded military tent suddenly seemed much empty.

Moreover, the atmosphere in the tent was low and depressing. In particular, the generals and colonels of the two armies, the front army and the right army, which suffered heavy losses, basically bowed their heads and did not dare to say anything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do next?" Marshal Night Tour sighed, pinched his forehead and asked in distress.

But the officers at all levels in the tent, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak casually for a while, which is really a little embarrassing. At such a sensitive moment, I am afraid that only a few henchmen of the marshal of the night tour such as Gan Sheng still dare to speak up and offer advice.

Gan Shengxian cautiously proposed: "Marshal, now that our army has suffered too many casualties and the situation ahead is unknown, the last general thinks that it is prudent to rest here for a few days before making plans." ”

"That's true, but the will of King Yama can't be delayed for too long." Marshal Night Tour nodded at first, but still worried, "The Night Tour Army has been on the expedition for twenty-one days, and there are no more results to report to the prefecture, so I really can't explain it!" ”

As soon as Shen Turen heard what Marshal Yeyou said, he thought it was an opportunity, so he boldly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, this group of ghost troops just took advantage of our unpreparedness to sneak attack, but in the end, they were not beaten away by us?" I don't believe they dare to continue to ambush us! ”

He immediately asked for battle: "Marshal, the canine cavalry battalion has strong mobility, and it is not easy to ambush. The subordinates asked for orders, handed over the entire canine cavalry battalion of the army to the command of their subordinates, and advanced forward with a rapid breakthrough, and in turn they were caught off guard, and they would definitely be able to take the magic circle of the ghost army in one fell swoop! ”

Wang Song said before that Shen Turen was actually the nephew of Marshal Yeyou, but he was only a Yin School, but he dared to propose that all the elite cavalry of the whole army be under his command, which was clearly because he wanted to rely on nepotism to fight for merit. Therefore, as soon as this remark came out, most of the Yin schools showed disdain, and the remaining four Yin generals clearly expressed their opposition.

Among them, Zhang Pu, the general of the left army, objected: "It would be reasonable to adopt this tactic from the beginning, but now our army has lost its sharpness, and the total number of dog cavalry battalions in the whole army is only 500 cavalry." I'm worried that if there are too few troops and the troops are too single, it may not be effective! ”

"But if we don't immediately send troops to break the formation and fail to complete the task, how can we explain the casualties we suffered this time?" Shen Turen was still unwilling and continued to argue.

"Our opinion is not to give up breaking the formation, but not to rush forward again, and to slowly figure it out!" Zhang Pu and other Yin generals also relied on their rank higher than Shen Turen, and refused to back down at all.

Seeing this, Gan Sheng hurriedly came out to extinguish the fire and persuaded: "The opinions of General Zhang and Captain Shentu are reasonable, the task must be completed, and how to report the casualties can also be discussed after the task is completed." But he didn't have any constructive comments on the contrary, and it was purely muddy.

After being in a dilemma for a long time, the marshal of Yeyou shook his head and personally vetoed Shen Turen's proposal, saying: "It is too risky to assault forward with all the canine cavalry, it is not appropriate!" ”

When Shen Turen heard that even his own uncle didn't support him anymore, he had no choice but to shut up and retreat stupidly.

At this time, I secretly thought in my heart: "I'm afraid that Marshal Night Tour is still worried that Shen Turen will miss again, and then not only this nephew, but even these five hundred elite canine cavalry will be broken, then after going back, he will really not be able to explain!" ”
