Wang Jiayan, who had been monitoring the movements of the intruders, suddenly saw them changing their formation from a distance, and immediately reported it to His Majesty. Everyone in the big tent also felt that something was unusual, but they did not dare to ask questions, so they had to ask.
Frowning in thought, even Zhu Ling couldn't figure out the intention of this invading army and ordered the army to wait for the opportunity.
"What is the plan of this invading army? They have started to move! Could it be that we have been discovered by them? But if so, they should quickly change their formation and target us instead of like this." Wang Jiayan, who has always been sure of victory, can't see it at this time.
He understood what Chuang Jun was thinking, and he was very puzzled by such a change.
They and Meng Zhangming's cavalry are in the north, Fan Xianchao is in the south, and the intruders are sandwiched in the middle. The current situation is that the intruders suddenly separated part of the army. The specific number is not clear due to the night, but it can be seen
It was moving rapidly to the rear. Then it separated an army and formed an array facing the south. The central army suddenly broke out of camp and moved forward.
This series of actions started almost within an hour. Zhu Ling and the others, who had already made plans, could only wait for the opportunity to prevent the intruders from setting up an ambush.
"Your Majesty, could it be that General Fan has been discovered? Now that the intruders have separated a separate army to form a formation facing the south, isn't it obvious that they are on guard against General Fan's cavalry?" Huang Bodang on the side suddenly said,
But this is also a relatively bold guess. If so, Fan Xianchao's situation will be difficult.
The 20,000 intruders were ready to resist him, and his every move would be monitored by the intruders. It was naturally impossible to perform meritorious service, and the most feared thing was that Fan Xianchao would be surrounded by them.
Zhu Ling nodded slightly. He had already seen the reason for this. Fan Xianchao must have been found. And the army that surrounded him must have surrounded him. If Fan Xianchao didn't move, he would definitely be captured.
Surrounded by the invading army, their plan will naturally fail this time.
But if they suddenly launch an attack at this moment, will the already alert intruders still be frightened by them? I am afraid that when they charge, although they are wary of Fan Xianchao, there are 20,000 people after all, and they will definitely react quickly and then
Gather troops to resist them. At that moment, even if you win, you will suffer heavy losses. This is completely contrary to the previous arrangement.
"Your Majesty, our army can't wait any longer!" Wang Jiayan looked up at the sky. He was always sensitive and could feel the changes in the wind direction and weather. He immediately said: "It's almost midnight now. Once the wind starts to blow,
If it rains, all the torches of our army will lose their effectiveness! At that time, if there is a loss, most of them may be broken, and our army must not hesitate!"
"We have to wait."
Zhu Ling led everyone out of the tent and looked at the camp of the intruders from a distance. He looked worried and clasped his hands behind his back, unwilling to speak. If they started to charge, Fan Xianchao would definitely join them in the charge. But the intruders were facing
The direction and target is him. Once a battle occurs, Fan Xianchao will suffer the greatest casualties.
Thinking of Mr. Fan Ge who was still in the capital at this time, he never wanted to do this. If Fan Xianchao unfortunately died in this battle, he would have no face to face Mr. Fan Ge!
"If your majesty can bear the loss, it's okay to wait." Seeing that his majesty had no words, Huang Bodang, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but speak. The tone of his voice was filled with anger.
, it seems that there is still a little unwillingness and helplessness. I am helpless as to why Your Majesty is so hesitant.
Just when everyone was in a stalemate, Sima Jingru, who had never spoken, suddenly saw a large amount of fire moving rapidly to the south, and the moving speed was getting faster and faster. In the end, there was a sign of a charge!
He did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly reported to His Majesty and everyone. After hearing this, Zhu Ling hurriedly ignored everyone and moved towards a slightly higher ground, and everyone behind him also hurriedly followed. When he got here, he opened his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.
Upon inspection, I also saw countless flames moving rapidly in the direction of the intruder.
"Your Majesty, could this be Fan Xianchao's cavalry!?" Wang Jiayan couldn't help but guess, but it seemed that this was the truth. There was only one of Fan Xianchao's cavalry over there, and it would have been impossible for the intruder to return to camp so fast.
.Although they are far away, their speed is not very fast in the eyes of everyone, but according to speculation, this speed can only be achieved by cavalry!
of course!
At this moment, Zhu Ling suddenly heard an explosion in his head, and suddenly realized that it was Fan Xianchao. Subconsciously, his heart beat faster, and he felt helpless and angry at Fan Xianchao's actions. How dare he? Fifteen hundred people rushed to kill 20,000 people.
This was especially true late at night. Once they got entangled, his 1,500 men would be wiped out!
"Sima Jingru, Wang Jiayan obeys the order!"
"The minister is here!" "The general is here!"
"Sima quickly command your two thousand imperial cavalry and attack the intruder camp immediately! Remember, don't worry about anything else. Once you kill the general, shout loudly so that all the intruders can hear it! Wang Qing is in charge of the imperial camp.
Infantry, advance slowly, I don't want to charge, shout the slogan louder!"
"As you command!"
The two of them did not dare to delay. Knowing that His Majesty wanted to rescue Fan Xianchao as soon as possible, they hurriedly stepped back and walked quickly towards their imperial camp. Wang Bodang and Zu Xiangyang on the side also looked nervous. After all, this was their first time as civil servants.
Naturally, I am not used to participating in such a war. But with His Majesty by my side, I have to calm down no matter what.
"Wu Guoxing, order a small flag to fire the trumpet arrow immediately, and inform Meng Zhangming to immediately unite the army to attack! There will be no delay!"
"According to the order!" Wang Guoxing immediately ordered a flagman beside him to raise his hand to the sky in the distance, immediately pulled the trigger and fired the arrow.
With the sound of "咻", the sky was also illuminated by a red light, and everyone looked up. Meng Zhangming, who was two miles away, saw the arrow being launched, and immediately ordered the army to mount their horses quickly. Just a few seconds later,
Dang even led the army and immediately rushed towards the Chuang army!
Zhong Xingcan was still watching the cavalry they had discovered before, and was currently fighting fiercely with his infantry. Although his army suffered some casualties in the early stages of the battle, gradually the cavalry began to suffer casualties. Especially their number
It was originally small, but now once it is dragged down by its own army, it is almost impossible to escape.
Furthermore, once it was discovered that the cavalry had begun to charge, the three thousand men who had marched behind it began to move quickly behind the cavalry. As long as they waited less than half an hour, as soon as the army that had circled behind arrived, the cavalry
He couldn't escape even if he had wings! Although he was held back by them for half a day, being able to wipe out a cavalry group was considered a meritorious service.
After all, it is not easy to defeat a cavalry force these days. He cannot catch up with him, so he can only watch the cavalry wandering around the army, without any countermeasures except a few curses.
"Brothers! Kill this cavalry for me. Let's also form a cavalry and let the commander see our strength!"
But suddenly a harsh sound came from the sky, and everyone who broke into the army camp looked behind them. They saw a red light in the sky behind them, accompanied by a harsh sound. Zhong Xingcan looked a little dull, and after a few seconds, he
Suddenly I woke up and realized that this was obviously a trap!
He immediately drew his sword and ordered a part of the army to form a formation backward to resist the attack from behind. Then he ordered other troops to quickly form a square formation and push all the chariots and baggage in front of the formation in an attempt to resist the opponent's attack.
But he was a little naive. It was a huge mistake when he ordered all the chariots and grains to be used as a defensive line to resist the front. Naturally, Sima Jingru led the seventeen brothers to lead the way, followed by countless Guan Nings.
Iron cavalry, they threw away their firecrackers this time and replaced all their hands with torches.
When the army galloped down and approached the camp of the invaders, under Sima Jingru's order, all the torches were thrown in. Then the cavalry in front immediately turned to both sides, and the cavalry following behind them once again threw the torches in.
All the torches were thrown in. The two thousand cavalry were instantly divided into two, each one was a thousand cavalry, and they jumped over the obstacle from both sides.
The soldiers who were temporarily summoned to defend against the cavalry behind them were holding shields and waiting for the cavalry. Suddenly they saw many torches falling from their heads. In fear, they hurriedly fled around. This escape directly destroyed the entire army.
The layout of the formation was completely destroyed. The soldiers at the rear of the formation had no idea what was happening and still stood still.
He collided with the soldiers in front who were hurriedly running back. He wanted to yell, but then he saw more and more torches being thrown in. He lost his fighting spirit in an instant, dropped his sword, and rushed to the rear desperately.
escape.
As a general in the camp, seeing such a terrifying scene, he lost the fighting spirit to resist. All his soldiers had fled. How could he defend here? He immediately dropped his sword and followed most of them to flee to the rear.
go.
Seeing this opportunity, Sima Jingru did not pursue it. He ordered a thousand cavalrymen who rushed in from the other side to continue throwing torches at the formation of the intruders, and then defeated them. He took a thousand people and went straight to the camp of the intruders. As long as
If the general is captured alive or beheaded, the invading army will naturally be defeated.
This ambush, due to the exposure of Fan Xianchao's troops, indirectly turned into an operation to rescue Fan Xianchao.
