On the other side, Meng Zhangming had already received an order from His Majesty. All 1,500 cavalrymen in the army were holding torches. When approaching the enemy's formation, half of the torches were thrown forward. Then the remaining half of the torches were looked for opportunities to throw out again.
The advantage of a sudden attack completely destroyed the morale of the invading army.
Fan Xianchao was forced to make such a suicidal move. If he had not done so, His Majesty's plan would have failed, and the arrangements that everyone had planned for several days would have been in vain. If we ask whether the ambush could have been successful before
It's all on Chuang Jun, and whether he can succeed now is on his own side.
In the end, I realized that this intruder actually wanted to surround me, which was a bit too naive. Although Fan Xianchao was not a famous general, he was definitely not a person who was willing to give up his plans for the sake of his own life and honor. Therefore, after letting go of some stubbornness in his heart,
Immediately order all the troops to mount their horses.
He was at the front of the army. He ordered the whole army to light torches, correct their direction, find a point that seemed to be the weakest, and charge forward directly. The cavalry behind him were also quite elite. No one flinched, and no one lost heart.
They were dissatisfied. Seeing that their generals were risking their lives like this, they had no reason to escape.
Even though he knew that his fifteen hundred cavalry were like an egg hitting a stone when facing the twenty thousand intruders, he did not hesitate at all. He only hoped that his Majesty in the distance would know his thoughts.
Zhong Xingcan originally thought that this cavalry was charging suicidally, but as soon as they engaged in the battle, it was obvious that this cavalry was not an ordinary light cavalry. Just from the desperate charge, it could be seen that this cavalry was more powerful than the previous ones.
The cavalrymen Liu Zeqing encountered were all very powerful. Their momentum was almost too high.
That time when they faced Liu Zeqing's troops, 30,000 people defeated 20,000 people. Although the cavalry was several times larger this time, as a general, his fighting spirit was much lowered. If it weren't for the numbers,
Being at the upper hand, he wanted to run away the moment the battle began. The sword in his hand was also trembling.
A general of the invading army shouted with all his strength and kept walking on both sides of the defense line, shouting at the top of his lungs for the army to stabilize their formation. Seeing the galloping cavalry, the power made his heart beat faster.
When the cavalry led by Fan Xianchao approached them within a hundred meters, they used the force of the charge to throw the torch in their hands.
The general hurriedly ordered the soldiers to escape, but there were too many torches and it was late at night. The light was not good, which affected the sight of the soldiers. When the torches were almost about to be thrown, the soldiers hurriedly escaped.
.In an instant, the scene was as if Sima Jing was charging, and the intruders fled in all directions.
After all, there are countless tanks and grain piled in front of them. Once ignited by torches, it will be a deadly fire. The enemy will attack, and there will be no time to put it out.
Seeing that the army was in a panic, this general was still somewhat capable. He immediately ordered his personal guards to gather soldiers and re-establish a defense line away from the fire. But after all, the soldiers who formed this army did not have much quality, or even courage.
It was just a whim. Nowadays, few people listen to him when he encounters such a scene.
At this time, the three cavalry groups had thrown all the torches in, and the entire camp of the invaders was almost surrounded by endless firelight. The soldiers were frantically looking for a way out, and the cavalrymen who entered were also constantly harvesting heads.
Only Fan Xianchao's troops encountered decent resistance, while the other two groups of cavalry were in a deserted situation.
Almost every cavalryman was ecstatically killing every exhausted intruder. Not only the blades of the swords, but also the horses and armor were covered in blood. But this only brought them more crazy excitement, making them
They became even more intoxicated with the killing. Suddenly, the originally awe-inspiring camp of the invaders turned into a sea of fire.
Back here, Zhong Xingcan looked at the camp that had become a hell on earth, his chest filled with rage, and he could not help but tremble as he clenched the long knife in his hand tightly. He never expected that things would end like this. It was originally planned by him.
After destroying the cavalry, you can rest quietly for a night and hit the road tomorrow.
I never thought that so many soldiers would be on the road today.
Many personal guards around him persuaded them to leave quickly, fearing that the enemy would come here in a short while. As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Although they didn't know what they were thinking,
But Zhong Xingcan, whose heart was burning like a flame at this moment, did not scold them.
Seeing his army suffer such a blow, he might have fainted before.
"General, what happened?" Suddenly, two women in the tent, wearing only thin clothes, came out and asked what happened. Their figure and appearance, set off by the torch, looked extremely charming. They made several guards around them
In this critical moment, I can't help but feel a little excited and keep peeking.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Xingcan killed the two women immediately with two sword strikes. Blood splashed all over the bodyguards, and the smell of blood instantly made them wake up and hurriedly lowered their heads.
"withdraw!"
Following Zhong Xingcan's unwilling roar, everyone immediately followed behind and mounted their horses. They wanted to take advantage of the current chaotic situation to break out. There were still three thousand vanguard soldiers in front. They still had some wealth. When they met General Gao
It's not too late to make up excuses. If you continue to stay here, you will definitely lose your life here.
Just as they were mounting their horses to flee, the cavalry led by Sima Jingru also rushed over. He could tell at a glance that the leading man, wearing exquisite armor, was the general of the invading army, and immediately led his army to pursue them.
Feeling that someone was chasing them behind them, Zhong Xingcan didn't even look back. He waved his riding whip more and more frequently, and his inner panic reached the extreme. At this time, he desperately ran away into the distance. The personal guards behind him followed closely.
In order to speed up, he quickly took off his armor and threw it away, just to reduce some weight.
Sima Jingru also noticed the general's intention, and immediately ordered the army to surround him. However, because he hardly regarded the horse under his crotch as a companion, he struck very hard every time, causing the horse to suffer pain.
They ran wildly. Seeing that the distance was getting bigger and bigger, Sima Jingru was not in a hurry and reined in his horse to stop.
He quickly took out the long bow on his back, drew out the arrow and pointed it at the running Zhong Xingcan, closed his eyes, held his breath and concentrated. When the arrow and Zhong Xingcan became a straight line, he released his fingers in an instant. The arrow was suddenly brought by the bow.
The force bounced off and went straight to Zhong Xingcan's back. Within a few breaths, the arrow hit his back.
Zhong Xingcan, who was hit by an arrow, was also startled. He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, but the horse kept running. The shock caused by the horse made him feel extremely painful every second, and then he realized
Then he started to blur, couldn't hold on any longer, and fell directly to the ground. The war horse suddenly felt a light on his back, and ran faster, and disappeared in an instant.
When his personal guards saw that their leader was shot and killed by an arrow, no one stopped to check the situation. No one looked down. They all ran faster and then disappeared into the darkness.
When the soldiers of the various battalions of the intruder army who planned to resist heard the shocking shouts of killing coming from the north, they were too frightened to fight anymore. They scattered and fled one after another, regardless of the obstruction of the generals of each battalion. These generals were also afraid
When he was killed, he took off his general's armor and mingled with them, all of them fled for their lives.
At this moment, almost all the intruders were defeated, the general was killed, and the army suffered a heavy blow. On Zhu Ling's side, there were only less than 200 casualties. And most of the casualties came from Fan Xianchao. This one
