Chapter 1087: Great Defeat

Han Shizhong and Wang Yuan led the army to the north, and they saw the firelight from a distance and heard the shouts of killing.

"Oh no, it's already handed over!"

Han Shizhong looked at the north and said.

"Kill!"

Han Shizhong was just about to give an order, when a shout of killing suddenly sounded in the rear.

"There's someone behind you!"

Wang Yuan was shocked, they were all cautious all the way, and they didn't dare to light the torches, how could they be followed by the enemy.

"Quick, the front team will go around the front, and the back team will become the front team to meet the enemy!"

Han Shizhong did not hesitate, and immediately shouted and ordered.

Wang Yuan immediately led the front army to the left and backwards, while Han Shizhong rode to the rear of the army and led the army to meet the enemy.

"Han Shizhong, why don't you go in when you get to Guhe Town, we have to wait all night! And I'm going to come out to find you. ”

Xu Ning, Hua Rong, Zhang Qing, and Shi Xiu arrived with troops.

"You're the one who is ambushing in the town of Guhe?"

Han Shizhong finally confirmed his suspicions at this moment, fortunately, he was careful, otherwise the army would be wiped out.

"It would be nice to have someone else, but it's a pity that we are in ambush!"

Xu Ning looked at Han Shizhong and said, Han Shizhong saw through their ambush.

"Kill!"

Shi Xiu waved the knife in his hand, and the army lined up and rushed towards Han Shizhong's army.

"General, the enemy has a chariot!"

Han Shizhong's side, the soldiers saw the enemy's lineup clearly by the light of the enemy's fire, in front of them were chariots, on both sides were infantry holding shields, behind were crossbowmen, and on both wings were light cavalry, in a plain like Puzhou, this configuration was almost invincible.

"Throw all the firewood in front and light it!"

Han Shizhong naturally knew that he couldn't stop the enemy's chariots, and the best way to deal with chariots was antler fences, deep ditches and high fortifications.

But he didn't have any of these now, all he had was a row of shield soldiers, and this kind of row of shield soldiers was no different from a chariot and a piece of paper.

The soldiers reacted quickly, and the dry firewood that they were going to take to Guhe Town to burn the grain and grass was immediately thrown forward.

"Ignition!"

With Han Shizhong's roar, the torch was thrown into the dry firewood pile, and when the dry firewood met the flames, a wall of fire immediately ignited in front of the formation.

The chariot was blocked by flames, and the forward formation immediately stopped.

"Bow and crossbow! Put! ”

Hua Rong's voice sounded, and the crossbowmen immediately stepped forward, like a rain of locusts and arrows, they pounced on Han Shizhong's military formation.

"Shield Guard!"

Han Shizhong could only order the shield soldiers to raise their shields to block the enemy's arrow rain, but there were too few shield soldiers around him, and the sparse and sparse ones couldn't stop the overwhelming arrow rain at all.

"Retreat!"

Han Shizhong had no choice but to order a retreat, the enemy had already begun to clear the wall of fire, and would soon come back again.

"Retreat!"

Han Shizhong shouted at Wang Yuan on the flank.

But Wang Yuan was unwilling to withdraw like this, their mission this time was to attack Guhe Town, and now Guhe Town didn't go, and was stopped by the enemy halfway, how can I go back if I don't make some achievements?

"There is nothing in the enemy's rear, kill with me!"

Wang Yuan shouted at the cavalry beside him, their 20,000 people were composed of 3,000 cavalry and 17,000 infantry troops, and now the cavalry was with him.

"Don't go!"

Han Shizhong saw the cavalry holding torches circling towards the enemy's rear, and shouted with tears in his eyes, how could the enemy be so well prepared, how could the rear be empty? This will only be a trick.

Moreover, because Han Shizhong used a wall of fire to block the enemy, but at the same time, he also blocked himself, he had no way to lead troops to support, and now Wang Yuan was alone.

Wang Yuan didn't realize all this, he only thought that Han Shizhong had fought fiercely with the enemy, and it was the perfect time for him to sneak attack the enemy.

"The chariot is around, the shield soldiers are arrayed, the bows and crossbows are ready, and the hook and sickle are ready!"

Xu Ning saw that someone dared to go deep alone, so he immediately stopped the soldiers who were cleaning the fire wall and let the army line up.

The chariots quickly spread out along the perimeter of the formation, the shieldmen dodged out of formation, the crossbowmen had turned around, and the hook and sickle gunners were ready near the chariots.

The rain of arrows was overwhelming towards Wang Yuan's cavalry, and the soldiers and horses kept falling to the ground, but the cavalry impact had already been completed, and the speed was very fast, and they rushed directly to the vicinity of the Qi army array.

The chariots became a sparse line of defense, holding back part of the cavalry, but more cavalry had already rushed over.

"Kill!"

Wang Yuan was overjoyed, as long as he could rush into the enemy's formation, those shield soldiers were not to be afraid.

But at this moment, a scream sounded, and the cavalry who had just rushed through the chariot fell down one after another, and the hook and sickle spear shot, and the past war horse was hooked in the horse's leg and fell directly to the ground, and the fallen war horse and cavalry even tripped the cavalry behind.

"Bow and crossbow, shoot continuously!"

Hua Rong opened his bow and shouted, and the crossbowmen no longer had sequential shots, but shot freely and quickly.

The small number of cavalry was partially blocked by chariots, partially knocked down by hooks and sickles, and partially knocked down by arrows, and the remaining sparse cavalry rushed to the shield soldiers who had been arrayed for a long time, and had no impact and were easily blocked.

"Withdraw! Evacuate! ”

Han Shizhong saw that there were fewer and fewer torches rushing into the enemy formation, and his confidant's army was being rapidly reduced, so he yelled in a hurry.

"Withdraw!"

Wang Yuan also knew that he was afraid at this time, and quickly withdrew with the few remaining cavalry.

"Clear the wall of fire, the cavalry flanks attack, kill!"

Xu Ning immediately ordered.

Hua Rong and Zhang Qing led the cavalry to bypass the wall of fire from both flanks and pursued.

Yang Weizhong and Lu Zhishen fought forty or fifty moves, and the two of them did not distinguish between victory and defeat, but at this time, the situation around them was extremely unfavorable, and the army commanded by Zhao Ming and Li Ming was almost unstoppable.

"After so many years, your combat power is getting worse and worse!"

Lu Zhishen looked at Yang Weizhong and said, he also served under Yang Weizhong back then, and he had seen the elite Western Army back then, and these officers and soldiers in front of him.

"Traitor, trying to mess with my mind?"

Yang Weizhong looked at Lu Zhishen coldly, the Luda in his impression was not a guy with so much nonsense, the reckless man with a straightforward personality and violent fire was Luda.

"Why should I mess with your mind! If I hadn't wanted to do more, you would have died! ”

Lu Zhishen looked kind, and even performed a Buddhist salute with one palm, but his words were very piercing.

"Arrogant!"

Yang Weizhong looked at the bald head Lu Zhishen, and finally realized that the person in front of him was no longer Luda.

"General Yang, the enemy has an ambush! Evacuate! ”

Han Shizhong's shout came.

Yang Weizhong's face was extremely ugly, he had heard the shouts of killing in the rear just now, and he also guessed that it was Han Shizhong and Wang Yuan who fought with the enemy, but he didn't expect it to be the enemy's ambush.

"Withdraw!"

Yang Weizhong did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the army to withdraw.

Above Zhencheng, the defenders saw the reinforcements withdrawing, and the despair on their faces became a little stronger.

Lu Zhishen didn't lead the troops to chase, the enemy wanted to run at night, and the pursuit couldn't cause much damage, what they wanted tonight was to make the defenders of Zhencheng desperate, and let the defenders know that no one could save them if they came.

"Gone?"

Liu Guangshi looked at the reinforcements from afar and was full of disbelief, there are 50,000 troops in Linpu City, can't 50,000 troops relieve their siege.

"Enemy artillery stopped!"

Wang Yu looked at the retreating artillery outside the city, but there was no slack on his face, even if the enemy did not attack the city now, the morale in the city could not be preserved.
