Volume 3: The Battle of the Mirror Men Chapter 251 took advantage of the exhaustion of our army to attack out of the city
Ban Chao and others entered the account from the back door of the camp, and the hammer reported that more than 50 horsemen had been shot, and Jin Tu withdrew his troops back to the city. Ban Chao said: "The general is working hard to defend the camp, everyone please sit." The city is strong, the enemy is fierce, let's see how we can capture this city. Gan Ying said: "There are only 3,000 people in the city, and our army has 5,000. The hammer said: "The city is strong, the enemy is fierce, and the losses of the attack will be great." Ban Chao nodded. He Gong said: "The loss of the strong attack will be large, and our army is not equipped with siege equipment, if it is a strong attack, we also need to be prepared." Li Kaishan said: "Our army is mostly cavalry, which is conducive to field warfare, and it is not my forte to attack the city, so it would be good if I could lure the enemy out of the city to destroy it." ”
Ban Chao said: "General Li is reasonable. Although our army is outnumbered by the enemy, the enemy is brave and the city is strong. We must make use of our strong points and avoid our weaknesses and annihilate the enemy in the field. Starting tomorrow, Gan Ying, Li Kaishan, and you can take turns to scold the enemy and lure the enemy out of the city. General Tie held the camp closely, and General Gong led the army to prepare grain and grass for a long-term plan, and inquired about the military situation of Qiuzi and Shache. "The people will obey.
Jin Tu returned to the city, and when he saw Hei Batian and Fan Jia, he said, "It's a pity! Pity! Almost caught Ban Chao. Hei Batian praised: "The general is brave, he went out of the city to attack the enemy and won a complete victory, the enemy was bold, and the morale of our army was greatly increased." The officers and soldiers defending the city were ordered to pay the general a bonus, and the troops defending the city should not be careless and prevent the enemy from sneaking attacks. The crowd dispersed.
The next day, Gan Ying led the army to the east gate of Kashgar, so that the army shouted and scolded, Hei Batian, Fanjia, and Jin Tu climbed to the top of the city to watch, only to see Gan Ying riding a big Wanliang horse, holding eight spears, showing off his might, and commanding the sergeants to scold. Jin Tu said: "When I lead a thousand elite horsemen to rush out of the city, I will definitely be able to behead this barbarian general." Hei Batian said: "The general is not busy, this person's name is Gan Ying, he is a fierce general under Ban Chao, and when he is tired, the general will go out of the city and attack again, so that he can behead Lao Ding." You go down to the city to rest first, and when you see me raising the red flag at the head of the city, you lead your troops to attack, and when you hear the sound of the gong, you must return to the city. As long as I stick to this city, wait for the armies of Kangju, Qiuzi, and Shache to arrive, and attack inside and outside, I will definitely be able to destroy Banchao. "Jin Tu ordered him to go down to the city.
Ban Chao saw Hei Batian pointing in the array, Jin Tu went down to the city again, knowing that Hei Batian was going to take advantage of the exhaustion of our army to attack out of the city, so he secretly passed the order: "Tell Gan Ying to pay attention, and push the ten crossbow carts behind the first row of cavalry, wait for the enemy cavalry to attack, the cavalry retreat, use the ten crossbow carts to block the enemy's impact, and shoot the enemy soldiers with bows and crossbows, the cavalry take advantage of the enemy's confusion, counterattack the enemy soldiers, and be sure to destroy the enemy out of the city." ”
Sure enough, after a while, seeing the red flag at the head of the city, the east gate was wide open, and Jin Tu took the lead and led more than 1,000 horsemen to rush out of the city. Gan Ying ordered the first line of cavalry to retreat, and when the enemy cavalry rushed to 300 paces, he ordered the foot soldiers to push out the ten crossbow carts and take down the cloth cover, only to see the long arrows on the ten crossbow carts dazzling, and the bows and crossbows were full of ready to fire. When Jin Tu saw this, he shouted to withdraw the army, but the cavalry rushed out and couldn't restrain his horse for a while. The enemy cavalry approached ten crossbow carts, a drum sounded, ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the enemy cavalry fell from their horses one after another.
At this time, Hei Batian saw that the middle class was over-planned at the head of the city, and urgently ordered the gong to withdraw the troops, and Jin Tu led the rear army to retreat sharply. Suddenly, hearing the drums in the Han army's formation, the trumpets sounded loudly, Gan Ying took the lead, and led more than 1,000 elite horsemen to sweep into the enemy formation like a violent wind. More than 300 of Jin Tu's men have been shot and killed, and there are still 6 or 700 people, some of whom have fled back to the city, and Jin Tu has led more than 300 horsemen to be surrounded by Gan Ying. Seeing this, Jin suddenly shouted, turned around and fought together, and the rest of the army also struggled to resist.
A good Jin Tu rounded the spear in his hand, and the spear did not leave Gan Ying's face and lower abdomen. Gan Ying saw that Jin Tu only attacked but not defended, and the guns were all killing moves, so he also cheered up. The two guns collided, and the "sonorous" sounded, and the two only felt that their arms were numb, and Jin Tu knew that he couldn't return to the city without killing Gan Ying, so he attacked desperately. Gan Ying saw Jin Tu "Bang!" Bang! The sound was endless, like a mad tiger, and in a blink of an eye, the two sides had fought more than 30 times. Gan Ying saw that he couldn't win and shouted, pushed the tip of the gun from Jin Tu to the left, and took advantage of the situation to shoot straight into Jin Tu's heart, Jin suddenly saw that the gun was coming too quickly and hurriedly flashed, grabbed the gun with his arm, and abandoned his spear, holding Gan Ying's gun with both hands, the two of them were strong, and only listened to "Click!" With a bang, Gan Ying's gun was dismantled.
Seeing that Jin was in danger, Heiba Tian urgently ordered the army at the head of the city to shoot arrows, and ordered Fanga to lead the army to meet him. Seeing this, Ban Chao was afraid that Gan Ying would lose, so he also sounded the gong to withdraw his troops. The battle between Gan Ying and Jin Tu only saw the hearts of the two armies shake, and from then on, both armies called the two Tiger Generals.
The next day, Gan Ying had to go out of the camp to challenge, but Ban Chao didn't allow it, so Li Kaishan led the army out of the camp to challenge. I heard the sergeant at the head of the city holding Gan Ying's half-cut spear and shouting: "Your tiger general's claws have been broken by my tiger general, and the clawless tiger has become a sheep." Li Kaishan also ordered the army to hold a golden spear and shouted: "Your tiger general's leg has been broken by my tiger general, and the legless tiger has not climbed out to die." "The two sides are arguing for praise on this side and victory on that side. Ban Chao saw that it was almost noon, and the enemy army did not come out and ordered Li Kaishan to slowly retreat and withdraw his troops back to the camp.
