Chapter 369: Heavy Snow Drifting Kills the Quartet (5)
Ling Yi led the ruffian song to lure the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness Gundam Clive all the way to the direction where Ding Lifeng was.
Judging from the information conveyed by Zou Duo's proverb, Ding Lifeng and the others were ambushed in the hills a mile away, as long as Gundam Clive and his cavalry were led there, Lingyi's mission would be completed!
It is at this time that the original clear sky in the sky, there are dense dark clouds, which is the prelude to rain, according to the time to calculate, now it should be the time for snow, but this year's weather changes abnormally, the time that should have snowed has passed, but the winter snow has not arrived.
As a veteran on the border all year round, Zhang Cheng looked at the clouds in the sky and frowned.
Ling Yi and they have already come to the periphery of the ambush circle, this time Ding Lifeng and Zou Peng, in order not to arouse the detection of Gouda Clive in the Northern Wilderness, just arranged 20,000 cavalry to ambush here, and it was Zou Peng who led the team.
Ding Lifeng, on the other hand, led the other troops to the north, because they found traces of a cavalry in the Northern Wilderness there, apparently probing the cavalry on the withdrawal route.
Ding Lifeng and Zou Peng's plan was very simple, Zou Peng first led 20,000 cavalry to ambush Gouda Clive who was pursuing Lingyi, and then raided the Northern Wilderness military camp, as long as the Northern Wilderness cavalry was forced to retreat, Ding Lifeng blocked the Northern Wilderness army from north to south.
Their plan is simple, but as long as there is no problem with the operation, it is easy to completely annihilate the enemy.
What's more, in Ling Yi's previous sneak attack, the Northern Wilderness cavalry lost their mounts, so that even if the Northern Wilderness cavalry wanted to escape, they couldn't outrun Dongsheng's cavalry.
Lingyi and the others successfully entered the ambush circle according to the plan, and now all they had to do was wait for Gundam Clive to step into the encirclement.
When Gouda Clive really rushed to the hilly land, he saw Lingyi's riffraff standing on a hill from a distance, and had no intention of retreating.
Looking at the surrounding terrain again, Gouda Clive frowned, this was not a good place, at least for the cavalrymen of his old horse mounts, it was a dead place.
The cavalrymen who were still charging did not have the vision and experience of Gundam Clive, and when they saw the enemy, they blindly charged, only thinking about killing the ruffian in front of them.
Gundam Clive was shocked and hurriedly ordered: "Stop, stop for me immediately!"
The cavalry of the Northern Wilderness was in a commotion, and finally stopped, and several officers wanted to ask Gundam Clive what was going on, only to hear Gundam Clive order: "Retreat, retreat immediately!"
Gouda Clive's men didn't know that his general was still angrily demanding that he charge at full speed just now, so why did he have to retreat again? There was a lot of discussion for a while, and few people really carried out his orders!
At this moment, as a military horn sounded, I saw countless cavalry appearing on the surrounding hills, no need to ask, these were Dongsheng's ambush soldiers.
The cavalry of the Northern Wilderness finally understood how their general could let themselves retreat, it turned out that there were Dongsheng cavalry ambushed here.
For a time, the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness turned the horse's head, and the tail of the team became the vanguard, ready to break through!
But they were greeted by Dongsheng's cavalry, and Zou Peng led the cavalry to personally block Gouda Clive's retreat!
Gouda Clive secretly said that it is not good, is he going to fail here today? He still has grand ambitions that have not been completed, and he also promised his soldiers to go to Yanjing City of the Dongsheng Empire for the New Year, and now it seems that everything has come to naught, and it is unknown whether he can return to Tananing City alive!
"Ge Tao Teng, you are the vanguard, break through to the barracks, you must fight a way out, so that the troops can break through smoothly!" Gundam Clive hurriedly ordered.
The lieutenant named Ge Tao Teng hurriedly asked, "General, what about you?"
"I'll give you time to break off, and when you go back, remember to lead everyone to retreat as soon as possible, don't fall in love with the battle, Entto Laoyou has already explored the route of the retreat, you remember, the large army must retreat to Tananing City!" Gundam Clive said as he took out his long knife and prepared for battle.
"General, you ......," Ge Tao Teng said hurriedly.
But before he could speak, he was interrupted by Gundam Clive: "This is a military order, there is nothing to do, go!"
Looking at Gouda Clive's resolute orders and deployments, Ge Tao Teng burst into tears and shouted angrily: "Command!"
There was no dialogue between the two sides, and the attack was launched at the first time.
It also shows the well-trained training of Zou Peng's troops here, only to see the herald blow the military horn, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou slowly rushed down from the hillside, and as the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, their speed became faster and faster.
Jizhou's cavalry is better than Bingzhou in terms of equipment, which is also the advantage of the troops under the feet of the Son of Heaven, their armor is much thicker than that of ordinary cavalry in Bingzhou, and the horses are more than a little stronger, of course, this is incomparable with Lingyi's riffraff.
But in the face of the broken Northern Wilderness cavalry, this is a world of difference, plus the Jizhou cavalry uses cavalry spears, which are much longer than the halberds in Bingzhou, and have obvious advantages over the spears in the hands of the Northern Wilderness cavalry.
So in just an instant, the cavalry of Jizhou had the advantage, and suppressed the cavalry of the Northern Wilderness at the beginning, allowing Ling Yi and them to see the power of the Jizhou cavalry.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, it was only a short half an hour, none of the cavalry in the Northern Wilderness broke through, and at this time, only less than three hundred cavalry were still desperately supporting, and the others had been killed by Zou Peng's troops.
Looking at the bright red earth at his feet and the already cold soldiers, Gouda Clive knew that he had really been defeated, and he was completely defeated.
He stopped his subordinates who were still on the defensive, and said in the direction of Zou Peng, "Can General Dongsheng come forward and speak?"
Zou Peng rode his horse into the field and motioned for his soldiers to defend themselves.
"You're not a general from Youzhou, and you're not a soldier from Youzhou, who are you?" asked Gouda Clive.
Zou Peng replied majestically: "Jizhou Cai Xiaohuai's subordinates, Zou Peng!"
Gundam Clive replied clearly: "It turned out to be General Cai's soldiers, I have also heard of you, Zou Peng, but I didn't expect to be defeated by you when we met for the first time, I don't accept it!"
Zou Peng smiled and asked, "What else are you not convinced?"
Gouda Clive replied, "It is too despicable for you to send men to attack my barracks, poison my mounts, and then lure me there. If my army were still in its prime, would you dare to fight me?"
"Hahaha......" Zou Peng laughed loudly and said: "Why don't you dare? Do you think that your cavalry in the Northern Wilderness is invincible in the world? Besides, I learned this trick from you, didn't you cut off Han Ce's food and grass and besiege him for no less than six days?
"You, can you fight alone with me, and the means behind the scenes are not the work of the big man!" Gouda Clive was so angry that he couldn't do it, but he still stiffened his mouth.
"Feel free to scold, anyway, it wasn't your barracks that I sneaked up on, if you knew who got you into such a situation, you might be!" Zou Peng didn't have a verbal argument with Gundam Clive.
"It's not you, who else?" Gundam Clive asked suspiciously, even if he died now, he wanted to die to understand, and after thinking about it, the person who seduced him before reported that his family was a ruffian, wasn't this Zou Peng's troops?
"You're not afraid of being angry to death, I'll let you die clearly!" Zou Peng smiled and shouted to the mountain where Lingyi was: "Lingyi boy, if you have seen enough, come down and talk, someone wants to see you!"
Ling Yi heard Zou Peng call him, and rushed down with his horse and team!
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, Gouda Clive turned around, just in time to see the ruffian Qu led by the four Lingyi brothers rushing in his direction, he recognized Lingyi at a glance, it was his team that led him over, and it was also this army that burned their barracks to the ground, and even the horses were drugged by them.
The more he watched, the more angry he became, Gundam Clive couldn't wait to tear Lingyi alive!
"General Zou called me? I don't know what to order? Is it a meritorious service and give me a bonus?" Ling Yi asked happily.
Zou Peng also said funny: "It's not me who called you, it's this Gundam Clive General who called you, maybe he wants to give you some treasure!"
"Oh?" Ling Yi turned to Gundam Clive and asked, "What treasure did General Bei Panic have for me?
Ling Yi's words were purely Qi Gundam Clive's, of course, the effect was good, and Gundam Clive, who was originally very unhappy when he looked at Ling Yi, was so angry that his eyes were red.
Zou Peng stepped forward and said: "Come, let me introduce you, this is Wu Lingyi, the Qu Chang of the old Guipo riffraff in Bingzhou, that is, he attacked your military camp, and he also asked me to ambush here, how about it, the effect is good, right?"
"You did all this?" Gouda Clive asked Lingyi viciously.
"I didn't do it alone!" Ling Yi replied.
"Isn't it?" Gouda Clive asked strangely, and at the same time his heart relaxed, it seemed that he was not defeated by such a child, and his heart was much better!
"Of course I didn't do it alone, the strategy was planned by Hou Aoxuan and others in our riffraff song and me, your grain and grass and the camp were burned by me, your war horse was poured by my second brother's medicine, by the way, your soldiers were killed by my eldest brother and fourth brother led by my eldest brother and fourth brother, how about it, are you still satisfied?" Ling Yi said slowly.
Gouda Clive angrily asked, "How many of you are there?"
Ling Yi crossed his fingers and replied, "It's not much, there are only four hundred and ninety-eight people, how is it, surprise?"
"What?" Although he didn't want to believe it, Gouda Clive still had to admit that he had been defeated by less than five hundred people.
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Gouda Clive roared angrily: "Impossible, impossible, my 100,000-strong army is going to break through the North Mighty Pass, how can it be defeated in the hands of a few baby soldiers!"
"Don't you believe it, you're small here, and the grain and grass in the Far East City are also led by this kid!" Zou Peng told Gouda Clive a big secret!
"This can't be, it's impossible!" Gouda Clive had reluctantly accepted the facts, the young man in front of him and the soldiers behind him had given him too much shock!
There was a look of resignation on his face, but Gouda Clive was planning how to break through in his heart, and after observing for a while, he now set his eyes on Ling Yi.
Of course, Ling Yi's mental power could easily sense the difference in Gouda Clive's mood.
The previous anger, to the helplessness and resignation later, this is the emotion that a loser should have, but Gouda Clive also breeds the emotions of a group of losers, that is, holding grudges.
He wants revenge, he wants to escape, he can still do what he failed to accomplish while alive, if he dies here, he will have nothing, even if he is captured, as soon as the news reaches back to the empire, his family will receive sanctions!
He had to find an opportunity to escape now, and even if he died, he could not be captured.
Observing the surroundings, the only ones who could deter the surrounding Dongsheng soldiers were Zou Peng and Ling Yi, and he had already seen that Ling Yi definitely had a special identity in the Dongsheng army.
Facing Zou Peng directly, it is not a situation he is willing to encounter, and he may not be able to subdue Zou Peng, the two are of equal strength, and when they start, they don't have a chance at all.
But Ling Yi is different, this is a teenager, even if his strength is good, but it is only the strength of a great martial artist, and such strength is simply the relationship between an eagle and a chicken in front of Wuzun.
He had absolute confidence that he would succeed in one blow, directly controlled Ling Yi, and then forced Zou Peng to retreat.
He also took a fancy to Lingyi's mount, it was a divine horse, there was no war horse here that could compare with it, as long as he got on Lingyi's war horse, then he could break through safely.
His breathing became rapid as his mind moved, and his eyes were fixed on Ling Yi who was standing in front of him.
Suddenly, Gundam Clive burst into flames and clawed his hands at Ling Yi's neck.
The distance between the two sides was only a short distance of three zhang, and in just one breath, he had already rushed in front of Ling Yi, and he could immediately grab Ling Yi's neck.
He observed everyone around him, the most powerful Zou Peng was not prepared at all, and he rushed to Ling Yi, but Zou Peng did not respond.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Gundam Clive had already seen the joy of grabbing Lingyi and successfully escaping!
But when he looked at Ling Yi in front of him, the young man did not panic at all, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't know that he was going to control him, or even kill him!
None of this is the point, everything is already under your control.
Both hands were about to grab the young man in front of him, but at the last inch, Gundam Clive just couldn't move forward.
Using all his strength, Gundam Clive's hands were still an inch away from Lingyi.
It was as if the distance between the two was controlled by an invisible force by an incomparable force.
But Gouda Clive knew that the reason why he couldn't move forward came from the boy in front of him.
Because his abdomen was blocked in front of the boy by a giant hammer that appeared at some point, and the long handle of the giant hammer was held in the boy's hand.
"This power!" Gundam Clive was secretly shocked in his heart, the young man in front of him, who was only the strength of a great martial artist, actually had such a huge power.
Ling Yi looked at Gundam Clive strangely and asked, "It's not good for the general to be like this, he doesn't have the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young!"
Then, while Gundam Clive, who was still in shock, did not react, Ling Yi raised his foot and kicked on the giant hammer.
The power was transmitted from the sledgehammer to Gouda Clive's abdomen, directly knocking him back three or four steps.
Also making a move were Sun Ze and Hao Jun, who saw the two carrying the broken axe and Shenmu Wutong directly attacking the retreating Gundam Clive.
In an instant, the four of them fought in a heap, or Gundam Clive was beaten in the middle surrounded by the three Lingyi brothers.
Ling Yi's huge strength made him powerless to resist, Sun Ze's broken army axe continued to leave blood marks on his body, and Hao Jun's sycamore divine wood was impermeable, so that he did not have the slightest chance to fight back.
Gouda Clive's men wanted to come forward to rescue their general, but Ah Hai led the ruffian to start the massacre.
This scene also shocked the surrounding Jizhou cavalry, because they had only heard that the ruffian song was powerful, but now they saw it with their own eyes, not only powerful, but simply the god of war.
From Qu Chang to the soldiers, each of them is a powerful combat force, not to mention the Northern Wilderness Cavalry, even the Jizhou Cavalry, no one dares to face this ruffian soldier head-on.
The battle was even shorter than the siege of the Jizhou cavalry, and when Ling Yi and the others put away their weapons, only Gouda Clive was left lying on the ground wailing, and the rest of the Northern Wilderness cavalry had already died.
If it weren't for the use of Gundam Clive to deter the soldiers of the Northern Wilderness, Ling Yi would have been killed a long time ago.
Sun Ze put away the broken axe, shook his head, and said complainingly: "It's just such a martial artist, you two still want to rob me, it's too unkind!"
Hao Jun retorted: "Big brother, don't be stingy, it's okay not to rob you next time, right?"
Sun Ze came to his senses and said, "Really, you remember, and Xiao Lingyi!"
"Okay, next time you solve it yourself, let's not interfere!" For the battle, Ling Yi really has no way to take this big brother!
