Chapter 20: Ambush Jiang Zheng
Looking at Ling Zirui's determined look, Xu Han only said lightly: "Although Mr.'s plan is wonderful, the opponent is not a straw bag, isn't Mr. afraid of being recognized by the other party?" ”
"I don't know Rui'an, this guy is good at rough and short of tricks, just by him, it's strange that he can see through my schemes." Ling Zirui snorted disdainfully.
Ling Zirui's analysis of Rui'an hit the nail on the head, and Xu Han agreed, but it was not this person that Xu Han was worried about.
"Mr. only remembers that there is a Rui'an, but he forgets that there is still a Jiang Zheng in the army of Luoyang City." Xu Han said.
"Jiang Zheng?"
Ling Zirui's eyes narrowed, his expression was a little dazed, and he seemed to be unable to remember which character this was for a moment.
After recalling for a long time, Ling Zirui suddenly said: "You are talking about the military general named Jiang Zheng, I seem to have heard that there is such a number one person under the account of King Han, isn't it just an unknown martial artist, Rui'an can't see through my plan, let alone him." ”
Ling Zirui's words were extremely contemptuous, and he didn't take Jiang Zheng seriously at all.
"Sir, never underestimate a martial artist, don't forget, I, Xu Han, am also a martial artist." The corners of Xu Han's mouth were slightly slanted, and he was also fortunate enough to chat with a military general of Yi Guo that he knew that there was a talent with both civil and military skills under King Han's account.
Ling Zirui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly sneered: "I lost my words for a while, and I hope that the general will forgive my sins, what I mean is actually to say, how can Jiang Zheng be compared with the general." ”
Xu Han's mind, how could he blame Ling Zirui for this trivial matter, he moved his gaze to the map and pondered.
Ling Zirui didn't dare to make a sound again, only carefully looked at Xu Han's expression, the joy and anger of the city mansion made him feel more and more unfathomable.
Suddenly, Xu Han pointed to the upper corner of the map and asked, "Is the terrain here, sir?" ”
Ling Zirui took a closer look, "The intersection of the avenue leading to Qianyang and several small roads here is already relatively open. ”
Tong!
The tiger fist hit that corner hard, Xu Hanjian frowned like a blade, and said coldly: "This is it, Ben will teach King Han a good lesson here, let him learn and understand!" ”
……
At night, the military camp of Luoyang City.
Jiang Zheng stood at Yuanmen with his sword, looking far away at the northeast, and the flickering lights were faintly visible, which was the camp of the Yi army.
His face was grim, and there was a certain uneasiness in his eyes.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and several horsemen galloped towards them.
"General Yu, the little one just found out that there are about a thousand light horsemen in the Yi military camp who came out at night and looked at the trail in the northwest."
Jiang Zheng's expression immediately changed, and he exclaimed: "The northwest path leads to Qianyang, could it be that Xu Han wants to sneak attack Qianyang!" ”
Previously, Jiang Zheng had always suspected Xu Han's motives, so he concealed Rui'an's secret, privately sent scouts, and closely monitored Xu Hanjun's movements, but he didn't expect that his suspicions really became a reality.
Upon learning of this amazing information, Jiang Zheng did not dare to hesitate and hurried to see Rui'an.
"Xu Han is here on the order of Emperor Li, he can't be offended, if he stays, it will be easy to ask God to send God, and it is not a good thing, it is really a headache......"
Rui'an in the tent was contemplating his eyebrows.
"Strategist, it's not good." Jiang Zheng didn't care about the communication, lifted the curtain and strode in.
Rui'an, who was thinking, was interrupted by his train of thought, frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "What's the fuss?" ”
"There was a report from the scout, then Xu Han rode lightly and raided the path to attack Qianyang!" Jiang Zheng arched his hand.
"What?"
Rui An was startled, jumped up in a flash, and swept away all the shelves.
Jiang Zheng said in a deep voice: "The last general has long felt that Xu Han is suspicious, but now that the information is conclusive, that Xu Han really has bad intentions, if he is allowed to break through Qianyang, Huaishang County will be in danger!" ”
Rui'an's expression became more and more solemn, and he also realized the seriousness of the problem, shocked and a little ashamed, as if he was ashamed of his previous decision-making mistakes.
"Please don't give the order, let me lead the whole army to attack the enemy camp urgently, as long as Xu Han's camp is broken, even if he breaks through Qianyang, he will be attacked by the enemy, only a thousand cavalry, only trapped in Qianyang to die."
Jiang Zheng angrily asked for battle, but Rui An shook his head and rejected his suggestion.
Although he knew that Jiang Zheng was reasonable, Ruo Rui'an accepted his opinion, and in the end, it became his own decision-making mistake and caused a crisis, but Jiang Zheng turned the tide.
As the number one minister under King Han, Rui An definitely can't accept this loss of face.
After pondering for a long time, Rui An pretended to be calm and said: "Qianyang City is dangerous, and Xu Han's 1,000 cavalry may not be able to capture it." I order you to ride back to the aid of Qianyang at a rate of 4,000 steps, attack inside and outside, and exterminate Xu Han. ”
"Don't drive ......"
Jiang Zheng was about to say more, Rui'an's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Do you dare to question my military order, if there is a slight delay and the military plane is lost, you can bear this charge!" ”
After drinking like this, Jiang Zheng dared to say anything more, so he had to sigh secretly, turn around and hurriedly leave the account.
Half an hour later, a force of 4,000 people left the camp in a hurry and hurried along the avenue towards Qianyang.
The east is white, and the sun is rising.
The golden morning glow pierced the hazy morning mist, staining the rolling hills with a golden edge.
Xu Han was crawling in the grass, chewing a piece of dead grass in his mouth, his eyes were blazing, and he stared at the avenue under the hillside without taking his eyes off it.
At the back of the hillside, a thousand knights stood quietly, the war horses around them had been covered with their mouths, and more than a thousand horses stood there like stone statues, quiet and terrifying.
At the end of the avenue, dust gradually rose, and there was a faint tremor on the ground.
Xu Han pushed aside the grass and looked into the distance, and in his field of vision, a team in a hurry was gradually becoming clear.
Getting closer, getting closer.
Finally, Xu Han saw the fluttering banner clearly, and there was a big "Jiang" character written on it.
"Sure enough, it's Jiang Zheng, it's very good, let's use you to establish authority for me in Luoyang City."
Xu Han spit out the grass roots, jumped up, and raised his head back slightly.
Cheng Ping, who was standing solemnly at the bottom of the slope, hurriedly led Xu Han's black war horse up.
Xu Han turned over and got on the horse, took the big knife that Cheng Ping was holding in both hands, and said loudly: "The order is issued, the whole army is on the horse, and they are ready to kill with the general!" ”
The tiger and bear man in front of the horse suddenly became excited, and he hurriedly ran down the hill to convey Xu Han's order.
The impatient knights, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately boiled their blood, and more than a thousand people got on their horses one after another, and rode up the hillside in an orderly manner.
The time was just right, and more than 4,000 Luoyang City troops hurriedly passed by the slope, not realizing at all that on the hillside next to the avenue, a pair of murderous eyes were staring at them fiercely.
This is Xu Han's strategy.
They never expected that Xu Han did not go straight to Qianyang, but ambushed at the fork in the road, waiting to intercept the Luoyang City army that had returned to help.
The flat terrain of this junction and the nearby hills and heights that could provide a dive for cavalry made it an excellent place for cavalry to use.
Xu Han, who had been waiting for most of the night, finally waited for his enemy.
"The soldiers of the Xu family's army, let the barbarians of Luoyang City see how powerful we are, and kill me!!"
With a loud shout, Xu Han took the lead and rushed towards the enemy at the bottom of the slope, and the black cavalry behind him, like a torrent bursting the embankment, followed their main general and swept down.
On the avenue, the four thousand swift Luoyang City troops fell into panic and chaos in an instant.
Jiang Zheng, who was riding a horse, was still thinking about how to restrain Xu Han's cavalry, but he never dreamed that Xu Han's army would suddenly appear in front of him like a divine soldier descending from the sky.
"Could it be that the enemy's sneak attack on Qianyang is false, and the reinforcements who intercepted and killed me are real? Isn't this Xu Han brave and unscrupulous, but how can he ......?"
The shocked Jiang Zheng couldn't think anymore, and the rolling iron horse rushed over, and in a moment, it was more than a hundred years, and he had no time to think about it anymore.
"Quick, the whole army is in formation, ready to meet the enemy!" Jiang Zheng brandished a steel knife and shouted at the frightened soldiers.
In the field, the enemy rode on foot, and only by forming a formation to meet the enemy could there be a glimmer of hope, and Jiang Zheng knew the reason.
The 4,000 infantry troops under him were trained by himself, and in the face of the enemy's surprise attack, although he was frightened, under the command of Jiang Zheng, he still tried his best to stabilize and hastily built a military formation.
Xu Han, who was galloping wildly, thought that the enemy would be frightened by his might on the spot, but seeing that these Luoyang City troops not only did not disperse, but quickly formed a military formation, Xu Han couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.
"Sure enough, I have some ability, I didn't misunderstand you." Xu Han secretly praised in his heart, but the corners of his mouth flashed with a sneer, "It's a pity that the opponent you met was me Xu Han." ”
The rising sun in the east shone out ten thousand golden rays, and the thousand knights, as if wearing golden armor, reflected the dazzling golden light.
The swords and spears pointing to the sky were lowered in unison, and the cold blades of golden light flowed like rows of fangs of death, flashing hideously.
The Luoyang City Army, which was originally preparing to meet the enemy, was stabbed in the eyes by the rushing morning glow, and could not see the enemy's approach clearly, and could only listen to the rumbling and approaching shouts and hooves of horses with their ears.
Jiang Zheng, who also couldn't open his eyes, was even more shocked at this time.
Only then did he realize that the reason why Xu Han came from the eastern slope was precisely to form a trend of shunguang.
Under the stimulation of the sun, the crossbowmen of the Luoyang City Army could not shoot accurately at all, and they lost the long-range strike of the bow and crossbow, and they could not block the impact of the cavalry.
"The time and place are so skillful, this Xu Han's military methods are so good!"
In addition to the horror, the rolling iron stream has been surging.
With a thunderous shout, Xu Han's horse jumped high, and like a god general, he passed over the head of the Yang City army who only cared about covering his eyes.
When he landed, the steel knife in his hand slashed mercilessly at those terrified enemies.
Xu Han was like the sharpest sword, like a ragged sword, easily tearing through the defense line of the Luoyang City Army.
The knights who followed him, like wild beasts out of their cages, swarmed in.
The 4,000 Yang City Army was like a fragile glass wall, broken at one point, and the entire wall was torn apart.
The shouts of killing and the howls of misery were mixed together.
Blood was splashing, the iron riders passed, and countless stumps and severed skulls were scattered in all directions.
Xu Han rode the horse like flying, and the horse's hooves passed everywhere without leaving a life, unmatched, and went straight to Jiang Zheng under the banner.
The two horses staggered, and the steel knife roared out, turning into a semicircular iron curtain, which was like the Yangtze River continuously, carrying the sound of hunting wind to Jiang Zheng.
In Jiang Zheng's heart, an unprecedented cold was circulating wildly, although he was not a top master, he could also see how strong the enemy's knife was.
There is no way to avoid it!
didn't have to think about it, Jiang Zheng was anxious to block the knife.
"Boom!"
Sparks splashed everywhere, two steel knives collided, and the sound of roaring shook the four fields.
The strength of the knife poured into his body like a mountain of mountains, Jiang Zheng only felt that his five organs vibrate, his qi and blood rolled, and the handle of the knife in his hand was almost unable to hold it.
"There is such a strong strength in the world, could this person be that Xu Han?" When he was surprised, the two rode by the wrong horse, Jiang Zheng was anxious to suppress the tumbling qi and blood, turned around and crossed the knife, for fear that Xu Han's killing move would come again.
Xu Han, who turned his horse back, did not make another move, but looked at the horror on the other side with an appreciative eye.
"The person on the other side, but Huaishang Jiang Zheng?" Xu Han asked loudly, with an unquestionable majesty.
Jiang Zheng took the opportunity to take a breath, and when he secretly calmed down his qi and blood, he said in a loud voice: "The general is Jiang Zheng, but you are Xu Han of Yiguo?" ”
