Chapter 212: Successful Tricking the Enemy

Soon Wei Yan gave Song Tao the answer, because with these fleeing soldiers came back, there were also two big flags and thousands of infantry behind the flags, and the left and right added up to more than three thousand.

A text on the left and a Li on the right, naturally the two most important Sima Wenpin and Li Yan under Wei Yan. Behind the two of them were more than 1,500 people. Almost at the same time as they appeared, the horns sounded in Wei Yan's hard village, followed by the sound of drums, although Song Tao was not familiar with the banner of Wei Xuan's army, but he could also see that the enemy in Wei Yan's camp was about to come out, because some generals with swords, shields and sappers crossed the previous pikemen and came to the front of the field, and those pikemen divided into two phalanxes and began to advance slowly.

At the same time, the infantry coming out of the mountains and forests on both sides did not rush to attack, but adjusted the formation, which was preparing for an ambush on three sides!

Song Tao felt that Wei Xuan, the forward general, was not simple at this time, and he had concealed so many scouts from him. Along the way, in order to convince his own people, he worked so hard to act.

All the Xiliang soldiers also seemed to understand the situation in front of them, but they were not ???????????????? Their Sima is as calm and calm, because those growing enemies are in their eyes! At first it was three thousand, now it has changed to six thousand, and that's it!

But soon Song Tao found out that something seemed wrong about the situation, because the sword and shield soldiers or pikemen who were approaching them were all neatly dressed heavy infantry!

As the distance between the two sides narrowed, Song Tao found that his cavalry team did not seem to have enough distance to run, and it would be a disadvantage to let these enemy soldiers and cavalry fight in place, because Wei Yan, including the enemies who came up from both sides, had strict formations. Spears threaten horses, shields protect archers so that the engine room cavalry can't attack from the flanks, and archers shoot long-range kills! The arrangement on all three sides is the same, apparently well-prepared and well-trained.

As Wen Ping and Li Yan led the team to gradually approach, Song Tao and his men finally stopped waiting, but met the enemy on three sides, and Song Tao rushed directly towards Wei Yan, he knew that the current situation was not very favorable to his side, and it was the best choice to kill the enemy generals quickly.

When, the spears of the two sides collided again, but this time Song Tao was a little surprised, because after the opponent's spear blocked his attack, he quickly pulled it back, and then a shot smashed over, and the power was amazing, shaking his hands numb.

However, Song Tao was only surprised by Wei Yan's strength, but ignored the speed of his shots, and the Xiliang soldiers who were playing Wei Yan along the way also seemed to realize that the enemy general in front of him was not simple. Several of Song Tao's personal soldiers came up to help as soon as possible.

Wei Yan didn't seem to chase after Song Tao, but pointed his spear at whoever came up. Originally, Wei Yan alone wanted to intercept a few Xiliang soldiers and prevent them from chasing his own infantry. Now it has become that it takes a few Xiliang soldiers to block Wei Yan's attack. And the personal soldiers beside Wei Yan seemed to be much braver, and soon killed the Liang Bing beside Wei Yan, so that Song Tao had to face Wei Yan again.

And the situation of Sima, who was sent by Song Tao to the two flanks to block the ambush, seems to be even worse!

Because they are facing Wen Ping and Li Yan, two young people who are eager to make meritorious contributions! Especially Wenpin, now there are more and more young generals in Wei Xuanjun's army, and the arrival of Wei Tong and Zhao Yun has made him even more stressed. This time, Wei Yan was able to serve as a pioneer, and they were able to win Wei Yan's subordinates, and they were able to get through it with Wei Xuan. Wen Ping understands very well, but in the usual competition, he is immature and barely wins Huo Jun, although everyone comforts him that he is still young and has a lot of room for improvement. But Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, and Zhao Yun are not very old, and Weitong is only two years older than him. Now that the enemy has been ambushed, what are you waiting for if you don't exert your strength?

And when the recorder, who looked a few years older than him, joined the army and decided to use the yang scheme to ambush the Xiliang cavalry, both of them felt that it was unlikely, because such terrain was too conducive to ambush. But Guo Jia asked them to come here to ambush a day in advance under the banner of Wei Yan. It was relying on the same banner and the same number of people, plus Wei Yan personally going out to lure the enemy, that the Xiliang soldiers were unconsciously willing to fall into the trap in arrogance.

Of course, another reason why Wen Ping and Li Yan were anxious was that the protagonists of this ambush were not their 6,000 people, because the 6,000 infantry was at most in a stalemate with the previous cavalry. If you want to besiege it, you have to pay a huge price, and ???????????????? Eventually, most of the cavalry may have fled the battlefield with the advantage of speed.

Sure enough, after experiencing the time of throwing a stick of incense from the bows and arrows of the three sides, Song Tao was unwilling to continue to entangle with these thieves here, the terrain was too ignorant. However, in order to reduce casualties, it is necessary to withdraw in an orderly manner.

Song Tao never thought that this was an ambush, in fact, Wei Yan'e didn't think so, because the ambush site of Wen Ping and Li Yan was in front of Wei Yan's camp, and the valley of Dadingling was two miles wide and nearly one mile narrow, which was enough for the cavalry to pass calmly. At most, this can only be regarded as a dignified formation battle between the two sides, and what is unfavorable to the Xiliang cavalry is that such a valley is not conducive to cavalry assault. And Song Tao didn't expect that the rabble in his impression would calmly and skillfully discharge the battle formation, and the pikemen, sword and shield soldiers and archers advanced layer by layer, gradually compressing the space of the cavalry.

If the cavalry can't run, they can only rely on personal bravery to kill the enemy, and Song Tao is very confident in his subordinates, and he is also very confident in himself. After seeing the enemy on the opposite side clearly, he finally no longer took it lightly, but came to the front of the team again, pushed away the cavalry on both sides that were constantly being killed and retreated by Wei Yan, and met Wei Yan himself. Wei Yan was able to break the queen for his soldiers, of course he could do it.

Wei Yan had already prepared to see the enemy general step forward again, he raised the spear in his hand above his head, held it above his head with both hands, and waved a circle of spear flowers, and then smashed it down at Song Tao who came from the opposite side.

Song Tao had tested Wei Yan countless times along the way, and even let his two military marquis take turns to fight, he thought that he had popped Wei Yan out of time, and Jiang Ling, who was appointed as the forward by Wei Xuan, had a certain brute strength and good marksmanship. However, it is about the same as his two subordinates, and the physical exertion should be very large.

But now Wei Yan was facing a heavy blow, and Song Tao raised his hands to grab it up to support Wei Yan's offensive. But he still underestimated Wei Yan, and with a powerful shot, he directly smashed Song Tao's spear and hands on the horse's back. Just as he was trying to stabilize his mind and raise his hands hard, Wei Yan's shot smashed down again, this time the spear smashed directly on Song Tao's horse's back, and the war horse shook the horse's back desperately in pain. Song Tao's right hand was almost broken due to insufficient preparation, and his elbow smashed on the horse's back, and the two-handed grip became one-handed.

Song Tao realized that something was wrong, endured the pain, and put his right hand on the spear, but Wei Yan's spear arrived again, only this time Wei Yan did not smash it down, but stabbed him in the chest. Song Tao was startled, and subconsciously raised to block, but he was still slow, and the tip of Wei Yan's spear stabbed into his chest against his spear. The time difference between Song Tao and Wei Yan's gun with both hands was equivalent to helping Wei Yan grab and even expand his chest wound by an inch.

Wei Yan quickly withdrew his spear, and the war horse under his crotch stepped forward slightly, this time smashing down hard, only this time it was aimed at Song Tao's right shoulder even more vigorously. Song Tao slid off the horse's back as soon as his body was crooked. All this happened between lightning and flint, and it was too late for Song Tao's personal soldiers to find out that their master was not good. Song Tao, who lost his balance, was struggling to balance himself, and wanted to roll on the spot and hide under his horse's belly. However, Wei Yan didn't give him a chance, and the spear was inserted directly from the back waist, and then Song Tao, who was not dead, found himself ???????????????? Lifting it up, he saw his subordinates, and saw the horror in their eyes.

Song Tao took his last breath and said, "Withdraw...... Get out of the valley ......"

After Song Tao finished speaking, he couldn't hold on anymore and gradually closed his eyes, and his master was held up in the air by the enemy, which made Xiliang soldiers incredible. There was a commotion, and some of the clever ones immediately retreated. Wen Ping and Li Yan on both wings noticed the abnormal movement and looked at it almost at the same time, and saw Wei Yanchang spear propelling the enemy's main general to show off his might in front of the battle, both of them were hot-blooded, and the spear in his hand was also full of strength to solve the enemy in front of him as soon as possible.

Although these Xiliang soldiers were constantly squeezed, they no longer insisted after Song Tao gave the order to retreat, and began to retreat one after another, heading towards the northern exit of Dadingling. Relying on the personal bravery of the Xiliang soldiers and the speed advantage of the cavalry, the Xiliang soldiers soon broke away from the team. Leaving more than 200 corpses of Juxi Liang soldiers and more than 100 ownerless war horses to block the pursuers.

Wei Yan looked at the Xiliang soldiers who were running farther and farther away, and he was not in a hurry to chase them, in fact, there were only one hundred and fifty or sixty soldiers in his team, including scouts, so he naturally concentrated first, and then ordered Wen Ping and Li Yan to quickly gather their horses, and he led the cavalry to chase behind.

Song Tao's two military marquis were cautiously under the influence of Wei Yan's bravery, and finally got a chance to escape from Wen Ping and Li Yan's men, he knew that the valley of these two or three miles was not safe, and he had to rush out as soon as possible.

All the Xiliang soldiers had the same mentality, looking at the cavalry that caught up behind them, but only a hundred people, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, it was impossible for those bulky infantry to catch up, even if they caught up without the cover of the phalanx, they were definitely not the opponents of the cavalry.

Most of these thousand cavalry were veterans who had been ambushed by the Baibo Army in Hedong with Niu Fu back then, so although Song Tao was killed by Wei Yan at the first time, they panicked and quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and with the support of the desire to survive, they soon left Wei Yan a mile down again. The exit of the valley was two or three miles ahead, and as long as they held out for another one or two miles to the open field, their Western Liang cavalry would regain the advantage.
