Both armies did not move, and the sun began to slowly set over the mountain.

Wang Cai, the commander of the third brigade, who was resting, did not rest, and at this moment he was holding a walkie-talkie to talk to Hu Yanqing.

"Have you finished the siege, I don't have anything with me, I'm very thirsty." As Wang Cai spoke, he licked his somewhat dry lips with his tongue.

"Yes, how much weight can a kettle have, and you Wang Cai said to throw it away? If you are not thirsty, who is thirsty?" On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Hu Yanqing's loud voice sounded immediately.

After hearing this, Wang Cai smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Didn't I think that if I threw everything away, could I be faster?"

"Okay, you don't have to be in a hurry, at most half an hour, we can complete the detour, you wait." Hu Yanqing's voice sounded again, this time not reproach, but comfort.

Hu Yanqing, like Wang Cai, did not bring the peasant soldiers to which his brigade belonged, but only came with 3,200 regular soldiers.

Without the drag of the peasant soldiers, their speed would naturally be very fast, and they were now completing the purpose of making a detour behind Xiao Guo's subordinates.

To say that these two people are also bold, all kinds of intelligence show that the 20,000 cavalry of Xiao Guo is behind him, and they are rushing to meet Xiao Guo here, but they still decided to concentrate on eating this guy Liao cavalry first.

Six thousand cavalry versus five thousand cavalry, there is an advantage in terms of troops, but it is not obvious. However, the two brigade commanders still decided to implement the encirclement plan.

This means that they are all well-trained regular soldiers, if they are carrying peasant soldiers, even if they are auxiliary soldiers whose strength is close to that of regular soldiers, I am afraid that they will not have such a bold one.

It was because the two of them were bold enough that Xiao Guo never thought that the other party would attack him.

He didn't move, and the three thousand dragon army on the opposite side didn't move, Xiao Guo didn't think about whether the other party also sent reinforcements.

But just think about it, he's not afraid. General Xiao Yuan, who was behind him, with 20,000 main forces, was more than ten miles away from them, and with the speed of cavalry, it was so fast that it would not take an hour to arrive. In such a short period of time, he didn't believe that anyone would dare to hit his own idea.

Besides, he also has a war horse, so he won't run away if he can't beat it?

It was precisely because of this idea and confidence that he saw that the dragon army on the opposite side had no intention of getting on the horse, and he did not order his soldiers to get on the horse and prepare for battle. The longer it takes, the more beneficial it will be for him.

Time passed by a minute. Hu Yanqing said that half an hour, that is, half an hour, when he took the soldiers of the Second Brigade to the back of Xiao Guo's cavalry, the sound of the reconnaissance battalion's announcement was also heard in the headset.

The 20,000 cavalry led by Xiao Yuan was only half an hour's journey away from them, and if they ran faster, it would be twenty minutes.

Half an hour or twenty minutes is not enough to annihilate five thousand Liao cavalry.

The reconnaissance battalion means that it is better not to fight this battle, it is too risky, it is better to join the third brigade first, and wait for the division commander Mu Huan to arrive with the main force of the division, and then look for fighters.

"Okay, I already know the situation, but since they are all behind them, there is no reason not to fight." Hu Yanqing said into the headset.

Some people are born to eat the bowl of war, and such a person can only reflect his value on the battlefield.

Obviously, Hu Yanqing belongs to this kind of person.

"Everyone is on the lookout and ready to go all out. Remember, you can kill as many enemies as you can in a while, and if you can't wipe them all, you will also have to hit the Liao army hard. Of course, it's better to annihilate them all."

After telling his soldiers this, Hu Yanqing contacted Wang Cai and told him that the enemy's reinforcements would arrive in twenty minutes at the earliest, and that he was about to attack with the Second Brigade.

"Twenty minutes, you can't wipe it all out, you can also hit it hard, it's done." Wang Cai happily agreed.

Sure enough, madmen are not the only ones, and they are often a group as soon as they appear.

Speaking of which, being a madman is not an ordinary person, at least they have to have an obsession or a kind of self-confidence.

Just like the First Division of the People's Army, they usually eat well, are well treated, are well equipped, and do not train for a day

It has been broken. This was not easy to do at the time.

Military training requires huge military expenditures, and training has to be carried out every day, and the accumulation of that day requires an astronomical amount of money to be able to support. This is the reason why Liao and Song are both three or five days or even seven to ten days.

In peacetime, the army trains too often, and when there is no war, it is worthless in their eyes, and it will only waste more money.

In terms of money, the Dragon Empire has no worries.

Their majesty was always able to get a lot of novelties and fill them in the various Chinese shops, which not only increased people's desire to buy, but also made back the money they earned from him.

The reality is that there are no rich people in the Dragon Empire, just because there are too many good things, although they make a lot of money, but those novelties sell for a higher price.

This is also Su Shi's intention.

In his opinion, once people have a lot of money, they will lack the motivation to improve, become greedy for life and fear of death, and it is easy to breed desires that they should not have.

That is, taking out more things, emptying everyone's pockets, and then forcing everyone to earn it, it becomes a virtuous cycle.

When Wang Cai learned that Hu Yanqing had already come from behind, he gave an order, and the soldiers of the Third Brigade quickly mounted their horses and prepared to charge against the Liao army on the opposite side.

"There's movement in the dragon army."

The Liao scouts, who had been staring at the Third Brigade, immediately came with the news.

"Oh, what are they going to do, it's going to be dark this day, and our reinforcements are coming soon, can't they escape?" After Xiao Guo learned the news, he was very puzzled. But he still ordered 5,000 cavalry to mount and prepare for battle.

As soon as the Liao army got on the war horse, the Wang Cai Department on the opposite side began to slowly retreat.

"They really want to escape, but they only want to leave at this time, isn't it a little late?" Xiao Guo's face showed a smug smile.

If the dragon army had to retreat an hour ago, he would still have a little headache, after all, if he wanted to entangle the other party, it would have to pay a huge price.

But now, reinforcements are coming, which makes him full of confidence, he will definitely not give the other party a chance to escape. "Everyone, pursue, just entangle them, and wait until the general arrives, and we will do a great job."

After Xiao Guo shouted excitedly, he took the lead in urging the horse away, and behind him, five thousand Liao cavalry also began to gallop wildly, looking like they were going to chase and kill to the end.

"Brigadier Commander, they're after you." Here in the Third Brigade, there was a guard soldier who said excitedly.

"Humph! Let them be proud first, let them chase well, and then there will be a time for them to cry. By the way, have we dug the fire trench behind us?"

"Brigadier Commander, it's been dug up and filled with gasoline to make sure they have enough to drink a jug." The guard soldier said excitedly.

"Very good, let's withdraw the fire trench first, and then counter-outflank on both sides, telling everyone to move quickly, don't give Liao too much time to react." Wang Cai's attitude was firm.

He won't really charge like a madman, it's not impossible, but the loss must be not small, and even if he wins, he won't feel so proud.

What he wants is to get the biggest victory at the least cost, and the main tactic he will play next is to retreat and block in the flank.

Where did Xiao Guo know this, what he saw was that the dragon army was about to escape, and that's all.

Five thousand Liao horses, after a period of rest, their physical strength has recovered a lot. Seeing that the opponent was retreating, it was naturally a great morale shock, and the speed of the pursuit was about to speed up.

The first division and three brigades of the dragon army are not in a hurry, now is not the time to expose their tactics, the foot strength of the war horses can not be wasted, they are slow, and the distance between them and the Liao cavalry chasing behind them is closer.

It was not until the soldiers of the Third Brigade crossed the fire trench that they suddenly increased their speed, and the first army was divided into two, and they began to outflank them from the left and right sides.

"Huh? What are they going to do?" Xiao Guo, who was galloping on horseback, saw that the dragon army, which was originally marching slowly, first gathered and lived in the middle of the avenue

and then quickly separated, and came to meet him, his face full of doubt.

Just when Xiao Guo still couldn't figure it out, more than a mile away from the opposite side, a raging fire suddenly ignited, and a wall of fire formed again.

Looking closely, you can still see that there is a clearing in the middle of the fire wall, which is the place where the soldiers of the Third Brigade passed just now, obviously the fire trench is divided into two lanes, separated by the middle, and there is a special place for the soldiers of the Dragon Army to ride through.

It's just that now the wall of fire has appeared, and the open space in the middle is also scorching, and it is impossible to rush through it no matter what. Especially the war horses that are afraid of fire, they are not willing to take a step forward even if they are killed.

"No, turn the horse's head and retreat." Although he still couldn't figure out what Long Jun wanted to do, Xiao Guo already had a bad feeling in his heart, and he decided to leave here first.

It was only at this time that Xiao Guo thought of retreating, and it was already too late. Just behind them, there were bursts of shouts of killing, and Hu Yanqing had already rushed behind them with the second brigade with high morale.

Not only that, but on their north and south flanks, the soldiers of the Third Brigade are also forming an encirclement trend.

As a result, dragoon cavalry appeared in the east, south, and north of them, except for the west, but there was a wall of fire, and the horses would not approach at all.

"Where did the dragoons come from, where did they come from?"

At this time, how could Xiao Guo not know that he had been surrounded?

The dragon cavalry on the north and south sides, he knew the origin, and he was the enemy he was pursuing, but what was the shouting and killing behind him?

Xiao Guole, whose face was full of panic, stopped his horse, and when he was in shock, he saw a scout come to his side and say, "General, something is wrong, there are a lot of dragoon cavalry behind us, and we are now surrounded?"
