Chapter 474 Battle in Suicheng (4)
The sky was dimming, and on the official road from Xiaosui Mountain to Suicheng, a golden cavalry army of thousands of people was galloping quickly.
It is said to be an official road, but in fact it is just a wider plain.
On a slightly raised hillside not far away, Beiliang Army generals Qian Zimo and Xiao Shangwen were frowning at the cavalry in the distance.
Behind the two men and on the other side of the official road, there were densely packed Beiliang cavalry waiting in formation.
Because of the dark weather, many of the cavalrymen still held torches in their hands, so Qian Zimo and the others could easily judge the number of golden soldiers based on the length of the fire dragon.
"That's not right, the number of people is too small. According to the scouts' report, only five thousand people can survive." Xiao Shangwen muttered.
"There's a problem! I'm afraid Jin Bing didn't act as we expected." Qian Zimo said with certainty.
Xiao Shangwen nodded, and the two of them fell into deep thought at the same time.
"What do you think?" Qian Zimo tilted his head and asked.
"Looking at Pucha Rongbao's posture, he has given up on Suicheng. Otherwise, they would not be able to send only such a small number of people. Then there are only two possibilities for the movement of their main force." Xiao Shangwen raised two fingers.
"Tell me."
"First, they were afraid of being ambushed by our army and chose to stand still. Second, Pucha Rongbao wanted to make an exchange with us and led his army to attack our camp."
"Haha! It's exactly what I thought!" Qian Zimo said with a smile: "But I think the second possibility is more likely. According to Jin Bing's arrogance, being unable to shrink is not their style."
The two commanders and deputy commanders of the Daliang Dragon Riders judged Pucha Rongbao's true intention at the first opportunity.
Xiao Shangwen raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Heroes see the same thing!"
"Why didn't Brother Xue send someone to inform us? He must have discovered the Jin people's movements." Qian Zimo asked, looking in the direction of the Beiliang camp.
"Damn it, Brother Xue, don't you understand? This is testing us both." Xiao Shangwen curled his lips.
"That's right. According to Brother Xue's temper, he is afraid that he will abandon the camp and continue to attack the Jin soldiers in Xiaosui Mountain." Qian Zimo spread his hands helplessly.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's divide our forces into two. One of us will stay to eat this group of golden soldiers, and the other will help Brother Xue." Xiao Shangwen rubbed his hands and said, "Which way do you choose?"
"I will take the Daliang Dragon Cavalry to help Brother Xue. If you stay, the 10,000 left cavalry troops will be under your command." Qian Zimo raised the spear in his hand.
"Okay, I will join you after I wipe out this group of golden soldiers. Brother Xue Meng should also be here by then." Xiao Shangwen nodded.
"Okay!" Qian Zimo Le's horse turned around and began to gather the Daliang Dragon Riders who were ambushing everywhere.
As Qian Zimo left, Xiao Shangwen rode his horse forward a few steps, looked at the Jin soldiers who were already marching into the ambush circle, turned his head and waved gently to a school lieutenant following behind: "Let's get started!"
"Woo~wu~wu~"
A shrill sound of horns broke the tranquility of the early morning. In the stunned eyes of the Jin soldiers, a group of thousands of cavalry poured out from behind the hillside and appeared on the plain.
These thousands of people are all in black clothes and armor, typical of the Northern Liang Army.
Immediately, the cavalry force pierced the advancing Jin soldiers from the waist and abdomen, splitting the long-drawn Jin soldiers into two.
Soon, two more cavalrymen surrounded them one after another. The five thousand gold soldiers were immediately surrounded and were undoubtedly at a disadvantage.
Beside the battlefield where a fierce battle broke out in an instant, 10,000 Daliang Dragon Riders walked past unscrupulously and headed straight for the Jinbing Camp in Xiaosui Mountain.
Beiliang Daying
The whole camp was quiet, but not far away from the camp there were densely packed golden soldiers moving toward the camp.
Because the sky was not very bright yet, Jin Bing felt that the Beiliang army had not discovered him.
Pucha Rongbao was secretly proud. He didn't expect Beiliang's defense to be so loose. He didn't even see any patrolling scouts along the way.
From a distance, he seemed to see many torches shining in the Beiliang military camp, but no soldiers were seen.
"General, look at that!" A general came over and pointed toward the distance.
Pucha Rongbao looked in the direction of his finger and saw a group of cavalry running out from the side of the camp, not knowing where they were going.
"Don't worry about them, they are probably out for patrol." Pucha Rongbao said nonchalantly as he looked at the sparse cavalry.
When the Jin soldiers got closer and closer to the Beiliang military camp, they finally saw some Beiliang soldiers leaning on the railings on the sentry tower at the entrance of the camp, as if they were sleeping.
Pucharongbao smiled evilly and waved his hand,
"Whoosh whoosh!"
A piece of arrow feathers immediately shot out from the Jin soldiers, accurately hitting those Beiliang soldiers who were still sleeping.
The figure hit by the arrow shook, but did not fall down from the arrow tower. This fact made Pucha Rongbao quite curious.
"kill!"
Following Pucha Rongbao's roar, the 20,000 golden soldiers no longer hid their figures, and the shouts of killing became a mass.
The Jin soldiers broke through the camp gate without any effort and rushed into the Beiliang camp.
But the scene in the camp stunned Jin Bing. It was clearly an empty camp. Not to mention the Beiliang Army, not even a ghost could be seen.
Pucha Rongbao, who was originally in high spirits, now had a gloomy face and shouted angrily: "Search! Search carefully! I don't believe there is not a single living person!"
"promise!"
Pucha Rongbao did not believe that the scout who had just left the camp gate was the only soldier in the camp.
What he didn't know was that even these people were specially sent back by Xue Tian,
After a while, a general with an ugly face finally came over and reported: "General, we have searched everything, and there is indeed no one in the camp! Even the soldiers we just shot to death are scarecrows!"
"What!" Pucha Rongbao's eyes suddenly widened.
Before Pucha Rongbao could get angry, another general came over with a letter in his hand and said: "General, there is really no one, but I found this in the commander's tent in Beiliang."
Pucha Rongbao frowned and took the letter from him. He saw on the cover of the letter:
General Pucha, please give me your blessing!
An ominous premonition suddenly flashed through Pucha Rongbao's mind. He immediately opened the letter and read it. There was only a crooked line of text in it:
General Pucha, is our Beiliang camp in good order?
"Damn! Bastard!" Pucha Rongbao became furious and tore the letter to pieces on the spot.
Provocation, this is a naked provocation to yourself!
"General? What should we do?" A general asked bravely.
"The army will return immediately! The Beiliang army must have made a sneak attack on Xiaosui Mountain!" Pucha Rongbao shouted,
"promise!"
Pian Jiang nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and soon more than 20,000 Jin soldiers exited the Beiliang camp one by one and embarked on the road back to the camp.
Chapter completed!
