On the part of the officers and soldiers, burning torches were constantly thrown forward.

And from the ambush behind the slope, the first to rush out was a team of recruits led by a few old soldiers, although the shouts were loud, the spears were straight, and the knives were chopping the wind, but after all, they lacked the wolf and other cavalry weapons, and they were difficult to be the courage of the officers and soldiers, and the effect was few.

Yang Kai also understood that the frontal officers and troops were rushing too fast, and it was impossible for Wei Qianfu's troops to take advantage, but he didn't need them to take advantage at all, he raised his gun and ordered, "Rush!" ”

The brother behind him was silent, just slapped the horse with a quick knife, pulled out the knife, quickly whipped the horse, and divided it into three columns, although Yang Kai, Han Bin, and Cao Mang rushed out.

The general of the officers and soldiers who came out on the side, with no more than 100 light horsemen behind him, had just put away his bow and arrows, and drew his swords and guns, he had thought that this group of ambush thieves was on the edge, and there was such a large team.

Moreover, it is also extraordinary. The other party stood in the dark night, not moving, and when he moved, he swung straight at the front of their team, which seemed extremely thin in comparison.

"There are volts, there are ......"

Before he finished speaking, an arrow came, went straight into the throat of the chief, and fell to the ground.

Yang Kai Cao Mang was the first to rush into the enemy formation, and then he broke out of the formation with lightning speed, Wei Qianfu saw this opportunity, he suddenly drew his sword and jumped up from the position, shouting:

"All of you, rush me!"

In the end, the old soldiers who remained by his side, hearing this order, rushed out one after another, but in a few breaths, thousands of people made up for the heavy casualties in the front, so that an array of kneeling begging for mercy began to appear.

In this way, although the soldiers and horses in front of him received a hemostatic assistance, although the front position was solid, his side was empty, the battle situation in front was urgent, and his attention was always on the battlefield, he didn't even notice that Cai Qian, who was slightly behind him by half a body, should have rushed to the front, and he was still behind him at this time.

So much so that he was just about to rush forward with the small group of people at the end of the group, but he was startled by Cai Qian's shouting behind him and rushing ahead of him first.

Standing in the direction of the main forward of the official army, he immediately noticed that the flank formation was rushed to the back of the horse, and he suddenly felt bad, only to see the horse lance in his hand flying in the air, overturning the three thieves in front of him, and shouting to the messenger not far away:

"Quickly pass my order, and all the light cavalry in the rear will be escorted to the left side for cover, and the rest of the people, with me in another round, will all turn to the right side, and retreat thirty miles back along the edge of the city wall."

"Order!"

The messenger led the horse and galloped away, and the soldiers behind quickly rushed up to fill his place, and then the burly pioneer was heard, and shouted: "Come with me!" ”

The soldiers in the rear shouted in unison: "Kill the law!" ”

"Thief, your mother, it's time to rush!"

Wei Qianfu, who had just run downhill, scolded secretly in his heart, and for some reason, this battle really frightened him, even if it was better than the situation when he faced the encirclement of Sun Chuanting's troops in Heishuiyu and the Qin Yiming department a few days ago, no, this battle has already won the battle anyway, no more than him, no less than him.

A sudden thought in his heart made him turn around and run back without hesitation.

And Cai Qian, who had just followed the team in front of the battle, also turned around at the same time, with a slightly stiff movement, he drew arrows full of bows, shot violently, and the cold arrows pierced the void and went straight into Wei Qianfu's back.

The distance is close and powerful, and the arrow is fired from the rear, revealing more than an inch through the chamber.

Wei Qianfu didn't even have time to scream, the blood in his mouth surged out, and he fell to the ground with a plop, and he didn't move after struggling.

The team and archers in charge of firing the artillery in the rear, lit a few rounds of fire, and then rushed out with abandoned cannons, leaving only a slightly higher horizon than the flat ground, there was no one on the line, and the soldiers in front were fighting bravely against the enemy, who had time to pay attention to the rear.

Cai Qian swallowed a mouthful of saliva extremely nervously, immediately abandoned the bow and turned around, pulled out his long knife and rushed straight to the enemy formation, and let go of his voice one after another and shouted:

"Into the fuck, the front Yang Kaibu is already in place, we can't be grandsons, all fucking with me! Rush with me! Don't cut anyone, cut me off the horse's leg! ”

Several shouts came out one after another, and other peasant armies spread with the help, and the whole battle situation gradually improved.

"General, the cavalry of the left-wing thieves is coming too fiercely, and we are about to be unable to resist it."

The vanguard of the official army, is leading the soldiers forward more than 30 steps, their speed has been forced to reduce down, at this time the cavalry is condescending, and most of the palm soldiers, naturally difficult to beat, turn the order to cut the horse, the horse will not fight back, as long as there are some brave people, roll down, the horizontal knife swings to the horse's legs, the horse rolls over, the cavalry naturally only has to land calmly face the end of the knife to death.

"Withdraw!" There was no advantage to take advantage of, and the vanguard also made a quick decision and gave the order to retreat.

When he retreated and passed by the city gate, at the city gate covered by the firelight, several horses rushed out, he thought it was Liao Jiang, who was sent into the city by him to pursue the thieves who entered the city, and looked at it, it was Zhao Hu who was the first to enter the city.

He was already covered with hair, and the blood of several people was poured on his face, even if the hair on both cheeks was soaked, like a Shura. Still holding a head in his right hand and a head in his left hand, he rushed out of the city gate, threw the head in his hand into the air, and then let out a roar like venting!

"It's Ah Hu! That's good! ”

Han Bin's eyes were sharp, and he saw the flying human head for the first time, and suddenly stretched out his hand, took off the loose helmet on his head, and fell to the ground, he even had time to spit on his helmet again, and then pulled out the last sharp arrow on the quiver.

A full bow passed through the head.

Falling obliquely into the ranks of the officers and soldiers, it led to an uproar and chaos.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

The pioneer looked sideways again, but under the firelight, he vaguely saw a flag waving in the wind, what a hell, wasn't the camp broken up by Governor Sun in Heishuiyu, why did anyone still run to Kaifeng?

There was no time for him to think about it, he had thought that these thieves were just going to fight hard, but now he was only thinking about how to reduce casualties, and God knew if there were ambushes in front of them.

The officers and soldiers no longer had the slightest will to fight, and as the officers and men in the front turned back, the officers and men who left the rear to support the left flank also retreated from the battle, and turned around and ran away in an instant.

Deng She and Cao Mang led their troops forward until they chased five miles away, then stopped their horses and turned back, returned to the west city gate, and ordered everyone to quickly clean up the battlefield, only pick up weapons and horses, as for the wounded soldiers, they could only send another lightly injured team of 100 people, return the same way, first retreat to the direction of Runan, and find a mountain forest to hide in to recuperate.

After finishing without the slightest lingering, only a team of rangers remained, keeping a distance of ten miles away from the army, falling behind the army, to prevent the enemy from another surprise attack, and turned around and chased straight in the direction of Yanling and Fugou agreed with Gao Yingen.

In retrospect, they did not have an advantage in this ambush, especially Wei Qianfu used the formation method of the new pawns in front, and filled a lot of lives in vain.

Fortunately, the purpose was quite good, at least five or six hundred troops of the enemy were defeated, for a battalion of two thousand people, five or six hundred troops, of course, would not break their muscles and bones, but it was enough for them to reassess the battle situation.

The team, which was supposed to be overwhelming, would slow down their march if they suspected that there was an ambush ahead, and with it, of course, not only reduced speed, but also demoralized their peak morale.

At least let Yang Kai and the others smoothly join the returning team, which is enough.

The two groups of people and horses joined together to form a long procession, through the mountains and forests, along the water, Yang Kai led the team in front, Cao Mang led the people to break off, silently on these few torches, taking advantage of the night to hurry.

Both men and horses, after this period of long-distance running, conquest, and this ambush outside the city, have not had any rest, and they are very tired.

Until the second half of the night, the fire in the rear gradually disappeared, and more and more soldiers were so tired that it was difficult to get up, Yang Kai also realized that it was not a way to continue walking, so he could only find a small forest along the river and ordered everyone to rest and rectify.

Fortunately, the people they were holding were only partially gone, and some were left behind, and they would not lose all their supplies, and when they stopped, seeing that the people were sluggish, Yang Kai simply gave an order to let everyone burn the fire and cook, fill their stomachs, rest for an hour, and then continue to march to chase Gao Yingen's team.

At the same time, Wei Qianfu's department finally reacted, from the beginning of the retreat, it was Cai Qian who was responsible for arranging the affairs of the whole army, where did their old boss go?

In the face of the questions of Wei Qianfu's relatives, there are different opinions, one says that Wei Qianfu has always lagged behind the team, probably leading people to run first, but this statement is obviously not convincing.

Although they won a bit miserably, how could they also win, why did they run?

Another saying is that they were dispersed by the vanguard of the official army, after all, when they rushed up, they had almost reached the level of breaking through the formation, and indeed many people ran away, but this statement was recognized by some people.

But in general, the new pawns of Wei Qianfu's department were not satisfied with their master, and most of this dissatisfaction was born when they were not compared with Yang Kai.

Look at their team, when they marched to the outside of Xicheng, there were still more than 3,000 people, and now excluding the hundreds of wounded and transferred, there are less than 2,000 people, and half of the new and old soldiers are old.

Looking at the new pawns of the Yang Kai Division, almost all of them are sitting on their horses, and in such a comparison, there is naturally dissatisfaction with their leader.

Therefore, most of the new pawns did not care so much about this lost "fierce general", and even many people secretly hoped in their hearts that their old leader would not come back.

In this way, they would be able to follow Yang Kai justifiably, think of the appearance of this young leader who had declared that he was outside, arranging his troops outside the West City, and then think about his brave appearance on the battlefield, leading his subordinates to fight the enemy.

The original leader would only let them rush to the front to block him to death, and the two combat methods of "rush with me" and "rush for me" gradually fermented under the contrast of stopping in the grove and resting in the woods.

Of course, there is also Chen Yuzhu, a kid who shuttles between the teams, and Cai Qian's silence, two factors as blessings.

This news quickly spread to Yang Kai, after all, he was now the highest official among the two teams, and when he heard the news, he was also surprised for the first time.

After the contract was discussed with several cronies of Wei Qianfu's department, it was decided to divide a hundred fast horses from the captured horses and the horses of his subordinates, and handed them over to several of their cronies, personally selected and dispatched, and spread them out in the future to find Wei Qianfu's traces.

But he also stressed that behind them was the enemy, and that they must not be allowed to discover their tracks, and that they should not run too far in each direction, so as not to lose touch with the large army.

In the end, Cai Qian took the initiative to undertake the search task directly behind.
