Chapter 379 Ambush and Anti-Ambush
The lead-blue rain gradually faded from the bottom of people's eyes, and the red sunset passed through the mountains. In the setting sun after the rain, it was located in the northwest of Dafangling. The wet wall stood on it, and the flying birds stood on it to comb their feathers. The next moment, a black shadow passed by, and only one feather was left on the sharpened fence swaying to the ground.
Wu Li quickly lowered the long bow in his hand and threw it to the personal soldiers on the side. When another personal guard ran to pick up arrows, he took the silk handkerchief, wiped the wet marks in his palm, turned his face, and two scars of varying lengths on his face.
"So, the reinforcements from the Han area have quietly marched here? Can the news be spread to His Majesty?"
"The cavalry has left, and Lord Xiao Hendu, who is stationed in the northeast, has also received news."
"Yes." Wu Lisu was also a warrior in the Khitan. He was once a personal guard beside Yelu Abaoji. When he was conquering the Weishi, he was carrying several arrows to protect the current emperor and rushed into the chaos. He was extremely brave. He heard Xiao Hendu know it, and responded calmly, turned around and walked towards the direction of the big tent with his hands behind his back.
Thinking of what happened to Beijing before going to war, he showed a sneer on his face and didn't have much scruples when he spoke.
"Don't look at Xiao Hendu and I each led 25,000 troops to station here, you must know that he is from the Queen's family. These days, the Queen has shown his face many times. This time he went south to the Han area, and His Majesty only brought Xiao Dilu and him. The meaning is already very obvious. In the future, there will be fewer and fewer nobles who can be promoted to the Xiao family, and His Majesty still lacks a large number of warriors around him."
Wulisu is not only a brave general, but also a lot of words. There was a clear hint in his last words. The personal soldier was suddenly excited. You should know that Wulisu was promoted from the personal soldier of His Majesty's tent, which was the Pishi Junli. I heard that after returning this time, he would also enter the Northern Privy Council.
The personal soldier held it in for a long time, and then he was about to reach the tent and said excitedly: "Yes." Come on.
"You still need to practice your mouth and tongue!"
Wuli smiled and lifted the curtain in, then recruited commanders from all levels of the army. After a moment, the noise and noise became quiet. He said: "The Han reinforcements have arrived. They thought they could pass through our noses. They looked down on us too much. In the mountains, the Khitan warriors are always the best hunters."
Wow!
Figures stood up one after another. Soon, they each received orders to leave. The camp caused some chaos. Then several groups of soldiers stepped on the mud and headed into the mountains and forests, trying to sneak attack the passing Han soldiers.
The sky gradually darkened. After the darkness of the night, seven thousand Khitan tribes fought fiercely with the Jin army, who were quietly advancing in the forest, on a hillside half of the valley.
The original sneak attack evolved into a shocking attack. After paying dozens of casualties, the Han army immediately counterattacked. Because of the darkness, the two sides quickly evolved from sneak attacks and counterattacks to hedges and fights.
Shi Jingtang, who was leading the army, had already held his breath. After the melee broke out, he led his personal guards to launch several charges on the Khitan generals, and his life-defeating attitude shocked the other party and his own soldiers.
After robbing the general, he quickly retreated to the other side of the forest. The Khitan soldiers who had been washed back and forth several times were reluctant to give up. They followed and chased after them. The tragic battle spread in the forest.
Extending the mountain, in the Khitan camp, Wuli quickly heard the sound of fighting and quickly lifted the curtain out. He received a report from the scouts who rushed back. Knowing the cause and effect, he immediately got on his horse and ordered 10,000 troops to rush to increase the number of troops. Among them, infantry occupied the majority and rushed to the place where the battle was at the fastest speed. Except for the corpses in the ground, the battle group that fought had gone further.
‘Chasing the enemy like this…’
He dismounted and identified the body, dressed with soldiers under his command and soldiers from Han people, and roughly understood that the seven thousand people he sent were pursuing the enemy at this time.
Immediately, I immediately took people to chase after me.
Gu Yuan
At this time, the night was almost the morning of the morning, and the battle of chasing and running was still continuing. There were figures swaying in the bushes and hidden forests to the south of Dafangling.
More than 20,000 people from the Jin army were quietly lying down. Occasionally, insects climbed up their armor and crawled into the back of their necks. They pressed the fabric and pressed the insects to death, staring at the battle that was coming.
Someone took a bite of the cake and quickly put it into his waist bag. In his vision, groups of defeated soldiers were passing by from below. After a moment, the Khitan pursuers who followed closely also reached the ambush range and slowly pulled out their swords.
"Wait a little longer!"
The voice of his speech was Li Siyuan. He crouched among the shrubs and grass, raised his hand to let his generals take the lead and put away his sword: "The Khitans have rich experience in combat formations. We only have one chance and cannot waste it on these pursuers. If we can defeat the 25,000 Khitans stationed in the northwest in one breath, then the troops led by Yan Bao and Fu Cunshen will be able to join forces with us on the east side of Dafangling."
The order was issued, and the lurking people could only watch the Khitan soldiers chased and killed them.
Soon, more footsteps came from behind, and a army of tens of thousands of troops were surging through the forest. Li Siyuan's mouth raised slightly. As he expected, the Khitan general stationed here was indeed found.
"Prepare!"
Li Siyuan lowered his voice, and looked at the half of the troops led by the Khitan generals, holding the hilt of the knife tightly, slowly pulled it out.
The moment the tip of the knife slides out of the sheath.
He shouted: "Kill-"
At this time, all the words of excitement and motivation were meaningless. Suddenly, the Khitan soldiers passing by were shocked and stopped on the spot.
While looking at both sides, countless sounds resounded neatly among the mountains.
"kill!"
There was no extra sound, and the lurking figures heard the yell of the chief general, stood up and ran out of the plants and rushed down, ambushing the Khitan soldiers who were only half in the middle.
The crowds on both sides rushed out of the forest, like a torrent of hedging, rushing out from the mountainsides on both sides, cutting off the Khitan soldiers who were staying there in half and tearing them apart.
Hearing the sudden screams from behind, Wulisule stopped the horse and looked back, quickly turned the horse's head, raised the spear in his hand, and called on the only five thousand remaining soldiers behind him to rescue the team.
Both sides were elite. Shatuo soldiers cut off the front and back teams of the Khitan and quickly interspersed 1,200 people. According to Li Siyuan's previous idea, they set up levels between the roads to rescue, blocking the opponent with flesh and blood, and killing them for a while is hard to part with.
Wuli quickly saw that he could not break through the obstacle in time and was about to issue an order, but a pair of eyes were looking at the chaotic battle group.
"This Khitan general is someone, don't compete with me-"
