Chapter 554: A Gilded Tiger Head Gun Headshot
Gao Shun led 5,000 infantry to rush in the dark, and when he was still ten miles away from the mouth of the Star Canyon, he commanded the troops to stop, and then took advantage of the dawn to start a practical combat lesson on hiding whereabouts in the wild.
To say that the soldiers who came out of the Crouching Tiger Training Regiment have a strong foundation in individual skills and tactics, and the troops of 5,000 people, after Gao Shun's order, immediately completed the order to hide and hide with the help of grass, woods, rocks, and even the endless wilderness. This group of soldiers watched the mouth of the Star Canyon from afar, and after waiting for the enemy to find out, they blocked the mouth of the valley and turned Yan Xing's loach into a landlubber.
The other 5,000 foot soldiers who did not follow Gao Shun's actions had already taken advantage of the night to hide in the city. As long as the large equipment for attacking the city is turned in a firing direction, it can immediately become a sharp weapon for defending the city, and there are 5,000 infantry ambushed in the city, Mo said that Yan Xing brought 6,000 people to touch the sentry, that is, he came with 60,000 people, and he couldn't eat this army with the title of "trapped camp" in one breath.
Ma Chao with 10,000 cavalry, Hu Che'er with another 10,000 cavalry, they were divided into two parts, east and west, hiding far away on the left and right of the city, just waiting for Yan Xing to lead the army to attack the city of Xuci after being frustrated, outflanking the enemy from both flanks, and Yan Xing's cavalry in the wilderness to start a dignified decisive battle. Although it is a bit unreasonable to use 20,000 people against 6,000 people, when Yan Xing designed to kill Ma Teng, it was not necessarily very glorious to use 6,000 people against 500 people, so this account was a steady win for Ma Chao.
The former Ma Jiajun and the current Han Sui army were not accustomed to night action, so Yan Xing chose to leave at dawn in the early morning, leading 6,000 cavalry to withdraw from the top of the dry and cold Loess Gorge, all the way to the east, and the direction of the march was Huo Ran was the city of Xuci.
At three o'clock in the morning, the soldier in charge of observing the lookout reported to Gao Shun: "General Qiyu, a large group of cavalry has appeared from the direction of Star Canyon, do you want to attack?"
Gao Shun instructed: "Everyone pay attention to concealment and wait for this army to go away!"
At the moment, it was the same soldier who reported to Gao Shun: "General Qiyu, at least 5,000 cavalry units that have appeared from the Star Canyon have gone east, please give instructions on the next move!"
Gao Shun waved his hand and replied: "All pay attention, immediately march towards the mouth of the Star Canyon, occupy the favorable terrain, immediately build individual fortifications, block any pedestrians and troops who intend to pass, and those who dare to rush into battle will be killed!"
Then, 5,000 trapped warriors swarmed out, moving quickly towards the Star Canyon ten miles away, and soon a back-to-back blockade line was built, whether from the eastern field or from the western canyon, as long as any troops tried to pass this level, they would be baptized by a minefield, plus 5,000 infantry's strong bows!
Yan Xing, Candidate and Liang Xing led 6,000 cavalry all the way to the city of Yuci, and the time was only noon. Yan Xing said to the candidate and Liang Xing: "Yesterday, the Jin army attacked the city and collapsed the east gate, and we just entered the city from there and killed the remaining Jin army without leaving a piece of armor!"
The candidate and Liang Xing nodded their heads, thinking that this was a very good idea.
In a short time, 6,000 cavalry came to the east gate in a grand manner. Cautious, Yan sent scouts through the gap in the collapsed city gate to find out if there were any enemy soldiers in the city.
The sentinel in charge of the investigation cautiously felt towards the gap in the city gate, and before he reached the city, a sudden roar pierced the sky, and the rain-like arrows, stones, and thunderbolts smashed into the defenseless Yan Xing troops outside the city indiscriminately, causing huge casualties in an instant.
Yan Xing, who was hiding in the distance, saw this formation and knew that there was an ambush in the city, so he shouted loudly: "Brothers, quickly evacuate here, there is an ambush of the Jin army in the city!"
After shouting a word, Yan Xing turned his horse's head and galloped westward, not caring about the lives of his brothers. When the candidate and Liang Xing saw Yan Xing retreating, they also rushed to beat their horses and galloped wildly, and quickly evacuated following Yan Xing's whereabouts.
Han Sui's soldiers, who were already frightened and inexplicable, naturally did not stay where they were waiting to die when they saw the three main generals fleeing on horseback, so they followed the retreat with shouts, and the direction of their escape was naturally the very familiar Xingxing Gorge.
Just when the cannon roared in the city, on an unnamed mound more than ten miles away, someone was holding the newly mass-produced binoculars of the Crouching Tiger Equipment Research Institute, closely watching every move outside the city.
"Report to the division commander, the enemy army outside the city has retreated, and the direction is Star Canyon!"
Hu Che'er immediately gave an order: "Pass my order, and the whole division will start to move, the direction is due west, and the formation is a long snake formation!"
"Report to the commander, the enemy attack has been frustrated and has begun to retreat!"
Ma Chao gave an order with a calm face: "Order the whole army to move forward slowly, the direction is Xingxing Gorge, and the task is to completely annihilate the enemy army!"
After a while, the panting Yan Xing finally came to the mouth of the Star Canyon. When he saw Gao Shun's big hand waved downward, a huge roar sounded from under his feet, and Yan Xing was thrown from the back of the war horse before he could make any reaction. By the time he landed on the ground with his agility, the five thousand Jin soldiers who had been in ambush for a long time had already urged their bows and crossbows, and ruthlessly sprinkled the rain of arrows in the sky.
At this time, needless to say, Yan Xing also knew that his situation was very dangerous. He snatched a war horse from the crotch of the soldier next to him, and immediately fled north desperately, as for the life or death of the soldier who had been following him, it was no longer his concern.
Gradually, the loud sound of the thunder explosion was left behind by Yan Xing, and the skills he had cultivated on horseback over the years once again saved Yan Xing's life. Yan Xing, who was desperately urging the horse to gallop, suddenly felt that the surroundings had become quiet, so he raised his head to look, and then he saw the person he didn't want to see in his life.
Ma Chao, who was dressed in white armor, white robes, white horses and silver spears, looked coldly at Yan Xing with a shocked face in the distance, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Oh, Yan Xing'er, take your life quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, Ma Chao's crotch galloped and rushed towards Yan Xing.
Although Yan Xing was terrified in his heart at this moment, he didn't dare to think about it, and quickly lifted a machete with a straight back and a wide mouth in his hand and placed it across his chest.
When the two horses met and staggered, Ma Chao suddenly jumped up from the horse's back, and a spear smashed down from top to bottom like a long whip.
Yan Xing held the hilt of the knife with both arms hard, wanting to unload Ma Chao's ruthless thrash, but he didn't expect that Ma Chao's spear handle was actually made of tenacious silver-doped wrought iron, so he watched as Ma Chao's golden spear tip magically bent and then ran towards his face.
After a muffled sound of "poofโโ! Yan Xing's head seemed to have been hit by a watermelon with a stuffy stick, and in an instant, it burst violently, white brains and red blood splattered everywhere, and he saw that Ma Chao had taken his life.
Ma Chao, who fell back on the horse's back from mid-air, said expressionlessly: "Pass my order, don't let go of a thief!"
