Chapter 1191: The First World War (Part II)

This is, of course, an elaborate trap calculation.

The escape camp that was seen by the people of Ghost Rong before was fake, and the interception of the contradiction was naturally even more fake.

Its purpose was to lure the enemy to attack, and the Vietnamese army, under the command of Sun Ning, had made all kinds of preparations early.

For example, extinguishing the lights of the whole camp and putting on the illusion that the entire battalion of soldiers had escaped, made the Oni Rong people attack more brazenly.

For example, a large number of crossbowmen and heavily armored foot soldiers were ambushed in the camp early in the morning, so that when the time came, they could inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Another example is that after the sky darkened, the Vietnamese army, according to the emperor's wishes, planted many firearms balls from the Tang Gate of Sichuan and Shu outside the camp.

Originally, Sun Ning didn't have too high expectations for this firearm, but he just wanted to mess up the enemy army and people's hearts with it, so that the next battle could be more calm.

Unexpectedly, these most inconspicuous firearms also shine on today's battlefield, which really caused chaos in the ranks of the Ghost Rong Army, and even made their military morale shaken to a certain extent.

Therefore, when the Vietnamese army came out in large numbers, the Ghost Rong people were quite at a loss, not only too many people were shot and fell, but others also temporarily fell into stagnation and chaos.

Seeing this, the officers and men of the battalion would not let go of such a good opportunity to break the enemy and kill the enemy, and suddenly all of them became more courageous, shouting that it was a fierce attack and rush, constantly cutting the enemy's formation and pushing the enemy's team backwards.

Although most of the Guirong people were cavalry, and they should have been at a disadvantage in foot combat and cavalry, but under the decline of military morale, it was difficult for the Guirong army to display the powerful combat power they relied on to pacify the various parts of the grassland and penetrate north of the Yellow River.

Even at this time, he shouted and commanded again and again, and killed several subordinates who turned around and fled for their lives, and this defeat could not be contained for a while.

At this time, he could only hope that the other two groups of men and horses in the rear could be killed in time and help the Chinese army from both sides.

But before he could give the order, the sound of the whining horn sounded again from the darkness on both sides, and then an even louder and more terrifying shouting and killing sound came quickly from both sides, but it was the ambushes set up by the Vietnamese army on both sides of the camp that also took advantage of the situation to launch and crush and kill.

"Let Wanyan Chonghu and Yelu Changlong immediately lead troops to block the Vietnamese troops on the left and right for me, and create an opportunity for the army to retreat!" Merejan immediately changed his mind and ordered loudly.

At this time, he knew that it was impossible to turn defeat into victory this time, so he only wanted to reduce casualties, or at least let the main force of his Murwei army retreat safely.

Soon, the facts told him that even this humble idea could not be realized.

Because not long after, a subordinate came in a hurry, panic and even cried: "Great Khan, Yelu and Wanyan have already retreated......"

"What?" He couldn't believe his ears, and after a while, he turned his head abruptly and looked to the left and right.

Although it is still dark today, it is difficult to see what has changed under the darkness of the night. However, from a distance, he could still see that two fire dragons were speeding towards the rear, towards the left and right.

And judging from the current distance, these two groups of people have already come to the front of the Ghost Rong Company camp, but they have no intention of stopping there at all, but continue to run vigorously and go further......

At this most critical juncture, the two soldiers and horses suddenly chose to turn their backs on their own Great Khan and escaped!?

No, not a sudden decision, but a deliberate plan!

Immediately, with a twist of his mind, he made another judgment that made him feel even more angry and desperate.

When they marched before, Yelu Changlong and Wanyan Chonghu led their troops to drag them to the rear, and they didn't see the problem at that time, but they didn't dare to compete with the Murwei Department. Now I know that they are doing this clearly to preserve their own strength and not to enter the trap encirclement arranged by the Vietnamese army.

In other words, they already knew that this trap existed?

Further, these two have long colluded with the Han people, but they have always hidden themselves? They have long since defected!

After coming to such a conclusion, Merechen felt only a buzzing in his head, remorse, and anger...... All kinds of emotions kept changing and rising, making his whole body sway on the horse, and he almost fell down.

"Great Khan!" Fortunately, the people on the left and right guards reacted quickly enough and immediately stepped in to help, so that he didn't really fall off the horse.

But it is precisely under this entanglement and delay that the main force of the Ghost Rong Army, which is dominated by the Murwei Department, has completely fallen into the encirclement of the Vietnamese army, and even behind them, there are Vietnamese troops who have formed a certain line of defense, wanting to annihilate them here in one fell swoop.

"Tell the whole army, turn around and kill it. I don't have to dwell on the enemies in front of me and left and right anymore, I just need to get out of the fight! ”

In the end, he was a generation of grassland heroes, and in this desperate situation, he did not really give up in despair, but quickly gritted his teeth and made the wisest choice.

It is indeed a great trade-off, because in this way, his entire team is bound to be completely encircled and attacked by the Vietnamese army. However, once the whole army chooses to break through the encirclement and flee, its ability to protect itself will inevitably be greatly reduced, and the casualties will inevitably increase greatly, but the attack on the Vietnamese army will be sharply reduced, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides will certainly be quite disparity.

But the current facts have made him have no better choice, in order to preserve his strength as much as possible, he can only suffer this big loss......

As this order spread quickly, for a while, the ghost soldiers and horses ran back as fast as the ebbing tide, and many people even threw away their weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows in order to run faster.

But even so, in the face of the fierce pursuit of the Vietnamese army, a large number of ghost Rong people still fell in front of the camp. Many of them were cut off from their horses by spears and broadswords by the Vietnamese army because they were blocked by their own people and could not find a chance to escape.

However, with the passage of time, after paying a rather heavy price, the Guirong army finally gradually stood out from the siege of the Vietnamese army.

Then, their superiority as cavalry was revealed, and the four-legged steed was naturally not something that a two-legged man could catch up with.

Even if there was a rain of arrows coming from behind, they could only shoot off the group of enemy troops that fell behind, but the others who rushed forward were able to escape.

In the end, even if the Vietnamese army had the intention to pursue and kill, they could only look at the back of the enemy in embarrassment and helplessness.

Of course, Sun Ning was also satisfied at this time, because the results of this battle had exceeded his imagination......
