Chapter 311: Revenge
Although Wan Yanxi's idea was good, Gu Shengchao still had doubts: "The terrain of Beihu is relatively flat, not as limited by mountains and valleys as the Dawu Dynasty, how can you guarantee that the people chasing must pass through here?"
"Our team of 5,000 people galloped on horseback, and they will inevitably leave obvious marks on the grassland, and they will follow the traces we left behind. After we set up an ambush, let a team stay in front as a suspicious soldier, and flee from here when we see the Beihu people chasing after us. They must not doubt that they will save Zuo Xianwang, and we will definitely be caught on both sides." Wan Yanxi analyzed the situation of both sides.
Gu Sheng was overjoyed, hugged her and couldn't help but kiss her, and said in surprise, "You are really my good military advisor."
In front of everyone's eyes, the two of them didn't feel anything, but Lu Jin was uncomfortable and had goosebumps.
Gu Shengchao issued an order to let 500 people retreat two miles along the road as suspicious soldiers, and ordered them to run past here when they saw the Beihu army chasing them, and then return when they heard the shouts of killing, and the rest of the people were lined up on both sides to hide.
He deliberately settled those suspicious soldiers, and in the process of escaping, he must pretend to be awake from a big dream, and deliberately dropped some weapons and flags and other things to confuse the Beihu pursuers.
Knowing that everyone was very tired, a small number of guards were left behind, and most of the people hurried to rest and recover their strength. More than an hour later, Gu Shengchao sent someone to wake everyone up, ready to fight at any time.
In the desert at night, there is no light, only the stars are shining, and the low-hanging night seems to be within reach.
The officers and soldiers lying in ambush on both sides of the mound were nervous, and no one was there
can guarantee whether the Beihu chasing soldiers are as Wan Yanxi expected. Even if there are any Beihu people who will chase after them, many people have questions.
As he waited patiently, the ground shook, especially in the silence of the night, and the hearts of the soldiers with bows and arrows trembled.
Five hundred suspicious soldiers rode through the middle of the mounds on both sides, and in addition to throwing some weapons and flags, a few soldiers even took off their shoes and threw them in the middle of the road, pretending to be in a panic.
Sure enough, with these confusing movements, the Beihu army was convinced and accelerated towards the suspicious soldiers.
When the Beihu army entered the ambush circle, Gu Shengchao gave an order, and the crossbowmen on both sides fired at the same time, and suddenly arrows rained down and shot towards the middle.
The Northern Hu cavalry came in a hurry, most of them did not wear armor, and only a few had simple leather protection on their chests.
This is not to blame them, they are originally good at galloping and riding and shooting in the desert, they have always chased others to fight, and no one has ever dared to treat them like this, and it is normal to be careless.
In addition, the pursuit requires speed, and there is nothing wrong with choosing light cavalry, but the mistake is that the other party dared to set up an ambush in the desert during the escape.
The first round of salvo caused heavy casualties among the Beihu pursuers, and more than half of them fell under their horses.
Gu Shengchao and the others took advantage of the fact that the opponent's foothold was not stable and they were confused, and when they were confused, there were two more volleys, and the Beihu cavalry was overwhelmed and fled backwards.
However, the way to come has been surrounded and blocked by the ancient saint's super army, and in the panic, there is no fighting spirit and can only be slaughtered, and in less than half an hour, the battle is over.
…。。
Except for a few who surrendered and fell to the ground wounded, almost all of the rest were killed.
"Your chief
Who is it?" Wan Yanxi questioned the captives one by one.
"It's Captain Zuo, who led us to chase after us personally." Finally one person replied.
"He, where is he?" Wan Yanxi couldn't suppress the ecstasy in her heart and said excitedly.
The man gestured to him, "Over there, I last saw him over there."
"Take us to check." Lu Jin escorted the captive over to identify him.
Some of the soldiers lit torches to light them so that they could find and discern them.
The captive looked around and pointed to a man lying on the ground, "That's Captain Zuo, and he's wearing a gray armor."
Everyone looked in that direction, and a man on the ground was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and neck, lying motionless on the ground, and the arrow wound in the neck was the most fatal, and the ground flowed
A lot of blood.
Lu Jin was not at ease, and took other prisoners over to identify, and they all admitted that it was Captain Zuo who had done it.
Wan Yanxi knelt on the ground and couldn't cry for a long time, touching the person on the ground and crying: "Thank you sister for your help, he is the guy who is not as good as the beast, I hugged him when I was a child, he has a sarcoma behind his ear, it can't be wrong."
She summoned a scimitar and cut off the belt of the armor on her chest, removing it.
"You killed my father and mother, and I will make you pay for it with blood." Even though the Ligan on the ground was dead, she stabbed the other person in the chest one after another, venting the anger in her heart.
Lu Jin was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by Gu Shengchao, and shook his head gently: "Let her go."
This kind of scene is most familiar to Gu Shengchao, when he avenged the revenge of killing his father, he was almost crazy, only he knew best, and let Wan Yanxi release the anger in his heart
Put.
After a long time, Wan Yanxi gradually regained her senses, and she kowtowed respectfully to the onlookers: "Thank you for helping me avenge my revenge, the little girl is grateful."
After all, she is recognized by everyone as the wife of the military department, and everyone avoids it, not daring to accept such a big gift.
Lu Jin helped her up, took out a handkerchief to help her wipe away the tears on her face: "We should go back, this is in Beihu, it's better to leave as soon as possible."
After Yan Xi turned over and got on his horse, everyone under the leadership of Lu Jin escorted King Zuo Xian and the captives, together with the corpse of Captain Zuo, and returned to the camp of the Dawu Dynasty before dawn.
After two sleepless nights, everyone was so tired that they didn't bother to eat something to make up for their hungry stomachs, so they went back to the camp and fell asleep.
Gu Shengchao sent someone to send a letter to Lu Shouwen to explain the situation, and arranged the defense of the camp before going to sleep.
In the afternoon, Lu Shouwen personally led the guards to confirm.
In the conflict between the Dawu Dynasty and the Beihu, the Dawu Dynasty lost more and won less, and was basically at a disadvantage.
This raid, in addition to capturing King Zuo Xian of Beihu, and killing their Zuo Dadu Lieutenant by the way, makes people have to doubt the authenticity of the incident.
After repeated confirmations, Lu Shouwen finally believed this, and he stepped forward to hug Gu Shengchao and said in surprise: "Good brother, you are really my lucky general, drink him a good time tonight."
It is said that it is drinking, and no one dares to indulge in it at the moment, and it is all about tasting it, and this is the atmosphere that they want.
After capturing King Zuoxian, Lu Shouwen did not dare to take matters into his own hands, and sent someone to send a letter to the emperor in an urgent manner for 800 miles.
In order to prevent the Beihu people from sneaking up and rescuing King Zuoxian, Gu Shengchao and the others also strengthened their defenses and strictly guarded against fear
Something went wrong.
Because of King Zuoxian, Lu Shouwen deliberately placed him in a city at the back, set up his own military camp there, and asked Gu Shengchao to lead a team of soldiers and horses to guard it day and night.
Although the two sides did not fight, it consumed people's energy more than a real hand-to-hand handover.
