Gao Fei was very satisfied with the scout's reward. Bei Gong Boyu took the bait. Although he followed closely behind him, he did not take any action. He always kept a distant distance from the Han army and neither let him go easily nor easily.
attack.
After three days in a row, the Han army, led by Gao Fei, only retreated a hundred miles. They set up camp every thirty miles every day, and the number of camps was reduced to 500 stoves every day. Not only that, even the large numbers of troops that were set up were reduced.
The camp is also getting smaller and smaller. Although the number of flags has not decreased, the soldiers behind the camp have begun to be replaced by real soldiers and scarecrows. His purpose of doing this is very simple. Firstly, it is to confuse the enemy, and secondly, it is to give trouble to those who retreat.
The people had enough time to retreat to the east of Chencang.
Beigong Boyu was waiting in the woods ten miles away. He seemed very happy when he heard the scout's report. In addition, in three days, the dry food they carried was almost finished. It was time to take action. Qiang
No matter who they are, whether they are Huang Zhong Yi Cong Hu or not, they are all nomadic people. When marching, they do not need to carry as many things as the Han army does. Instead, everyone simply brings a little cheese and water, which is enough for them to eat.
Everything else was completely supported by the Han people. Fighting to support war was their most distinctive way of warfare.
However, during these three days of walking, the places we passed were either empty cities or empty villages and towns. The Han people did not know where they had gone, so they did not loot anything. This was the reason for the entire rebellion.
The most intolerable thing for the army. As the leader of these ten thousand people, Beigong Boyu naturally knew what his men were thinking. Seeing the dissatisfaction of many of his men, he finally made up his mind to attack the Han army camp today!
After resting for a while, Beigong Boyu got on his horse. According to his estimation and the scouts' reports, there were only five or six thousand people in the Han army camp now, and the others had already fled. He wanted to completely eliminate them.
Raise an army against him.
Beigong Boyu shouted some inspiring words to his subordinates, told them about the weakness of the Han army, and also boasted that there was a large amount of gold and grain in the Han army camp, and whoever grabbed it would belong to them.
The rebels were all money-minded. When they heard this, their eyes shone with golden light, and they roared away with Beigong Boyu's order.
In the Han army camp ten miles away, the Han army had been fully prepared and energetic in three days. Today, everyone knew in their hearts that there was bound to be a big battle.
There are still deer antlers, horses and other obstacles surrounding the camp, which can slow down the rebel cavalry and increase the defensive strength. The Han army flags in the camp are still whistling in the cold wind, and the weather is getting worse day by day.
It's getting colder, and it's already late September. Gao Fei is wearing armor, with twenty personal guards behind him, and is doing his last inspection in the camp.
After the inspection, Gao Fei said to the guards who were following him: "You guys split up to convey the order and get all the troops ready. Let every ten of the crossbowmen shoot one person of the enemy, and the sword and shield soldiers."
, the spearmen and halberdiers are ready to rush out at any time, and also notify Zhao Yun and Li Wenhou outside the camp to rush out when they see the red flag waving in the camp."
Several of the guards said "Promise" and then ran in various directions of the camp. Two of them even ran out of the camp and ran into the woods on both sides.
There is no sun in the sky today, and the sky is filled with gloomy and gloomy clouds. The clouds are gathering more and more, gradually forming thick clouds. The sky is overcast.
About half an hour later, everyone in the camp could feel the earth trembling. The chaotic sound of horse hooves shocked people's soul. A burst of dust was rolled up from the Daguan Road in the west. There were majestic Qiang Hus in the dust.
The cavalry came out, and there were really thousands of horses galloping.
Gao Fei looked at the scene of thousands of horses galloping through the gap in the wooden fence of the camp, but he saw Beigong Boyu leading the way, followed by barbarians wearing military fur. Each of them was very strong, and they were different from the Han people in his camp.
Compared with the soldiers, they were even worse. But he could also see that every Qiang and Hu cavalry had a kind of disdain on their faces, and even their expressions were filled with pride. It seemed that not long after
Everything in this camp belongs to them.
The Han military camp was set up on the official road going east. On both sides of the official road were hills that were not too high. On the hills was a forest that was not too dense. The woods were quiet and did not arouse the interest of the Qiang and Hu cavalry at all.
Beigong Boyu ran to a place three miles outside the camp and stopped. He first looked at the sparse Han soldiers in the camp, and then at the numerous flags. The two scenes formed a great contrast. He sneered and said lightly
Authentic: "It's just a bluff! Attack me!"
Following Beigong Boyu's order, hundreds of cavalrymen rushed out first. They took out a lasso from under their saddles, spread it out in a line and waved it over their heads, preparing to use the lasso to tie up the people surrounding the village gate.
All antlers removed.
The secretive archers at the village gate followed Gao Fei's instructions and released more than a hundred arrows. For the rebels who were born to be athletes on horseback, there was no threat at all. Hundreds of rebel cavalry quickly used traps
Suo pulled off the antlers in front of the village gate, and such a minimal defense made the rebels shout with joy.
After taking apart the antlers, Beigong Boyu lifted them up casually, and a cavalryman beside him blew a whimpering horn. As soon as the horn sounded, the cavalrymen behind him drew out their scimitars, and some cavalrymen even fired arrows.
The arrow was placed on the bowstring, and with a roar, he galloped towards the village gate.
Everyone at the camp gate felt the ground tremble again. Everyone held their breath. They did not take any action and watched helplessly as the rebel cavalry charged towards them with arrogance.
One thousand meters, close! Eight hundred meters, close again! Five hundred meters, even closer! Two hundred meters...
"Pull!" Gao Fei saw the opportunity and gave the order suddenly. The soldiers guarding the gate of the village also suddenly pulled the rope in their hands. A row of conical horses were quickly pulled in the mound 200 meters ahead.
Standing up, the rebel cavalry rushing at the front was caught off guard. Even the men and horses were slammed into the hard horse. Blood immediately flowed down the wooden stakes on the horse, dyeing the nearby loess.
Bloody.
The rebel cavalry was shocked. They never expected that they had just removed the antlers of the Han army and encountered the rebel horse again. The cavalry behind them were a little frightened when they saw the scene in front of them, and the riders hurriedly reined in the horse.
The reins of the horses, except for the hundreds of cavalry who rushed at the front, were killed, and the rest were intact and spinning in place behind them.
"Don't be afraid, the Han army just used these tricks to jump over, rush into the camp, hack down the gate of the camp, let them see the power of our iron hoof!" Beigong Boyu didn't care at all about this small casualty. In his eyes,
The Han army was already desperate.
After hearing Beigong Boyu's shouts, many rebel cavalrymen rode their horses backwards for a few steps, then turned their horses' heads again, shouted "drive" one after another, and then rode on their horses with their superb riding skills.
The skill caused the horses to leap into the air and rush past Juma at the fastest speed. Everyone was still waving a lasso in their hands. They wanted to use this lasso to reach the gate of the Han army's camp, and then use the power of the horses.
Pull down all the gates and fences of the village.
One hundred meters away, the rebel cavalry was indescribably close.
"Fire the arrow!" Gao Fei spotted the opportunity and shouted immediately.
At the command, the crossbowmen who had been ambushing behind the fence of the camp fired arrows alternately. Every ten archers aimed at one rebel cavalry, and none of the arrows they fired failed to hit.
The sudden rain of arrows from the Han army caught the rebel cavalry off guard. The rebel cavalrymen and horses were shot into hedgehogs and fell on the sand in front of the village gate, forming a line of fire 80 meters away.
A special gap. This time the rebel cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and more than a thousand cavalrymen instantly became lonely ghosts.
Beigong Boyu was not discouraged. He didn't care about the small casualties. He waved his machete and shouted loudly from behind: "Charge! There are only five thousand Han troops. Victory belongs to us! Charge!"
The rebel cavalry does not seem to be afraid of death. They are all people who bleed on the edge of the knife. All of them have received strict training since childhood. They are not afraid of the Han people. On the contrary, the Han people should be afraid of them. The second wave of cavalry
The team rushed forward quickly. The third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave, the sixth wave, and the seventh wave followed closely. The rebel cavalry with an echelon of a thousand people rushed towards the Han army camp like layers of waves.
Go, but this time they all hold bows and arrows in their hands instead of nooses and scimitars. They want to use the arrows in their hands to shoot through the Han army's camp.
Six thousand rebel cavalry rushed up at once. At first, the crossbowmen could still shoot one person for ten people in a step-by-step manner. However, when the rebel cavalry quickly rushed over and shot at the camp with arrows in their hands,
, the Han army's crossbowmen began to panic. Thousands of crossbowmen suddenly fought separately, each choosing their own target.
Arrows rained like rain, and thousands of arrows came and went in the sky above the camp. Some Han soldiers were shot through the body by the rebel arrows as soon as they showed their heads. The two armies started a duel between archers and crossbowmen.
Contest.
"Open the camp gate!" Gao Fei held a square shield in his left hand and a long knife in his right hand. He glanced around at the two thousand sword and shield soldiers who were waiting for him, and saw that the rebel cavalry had already rushed fifty meters away from the camp.
When he reached his position, he shouted loudly to the soldiers guarding the gate of the village.
The gate of the village suddenly opened after Gao Fei gave the order. Gao Fei took the lead and was the first to rush out of the gate with the shield in his hand. The rest of the shield soldiers followed closely, including soldiers wearing orange-red Han uniforms.
Under the leadership of Gao Fei, he hesitated and rushed into the rebel cavalry team as fast as possible. He raised his sword and slashed randomly.
Miserable screams suddenly continued in front of the camp. The sudden attack of two thousand sword and shield soldiers caught these rebel cavalry unprepared. Behind them were the cavalry that kept coming, and in front were the Han army's sword and shield soldiers who were very close to them.
, the lethality of the bow and arrow was immediately weakened, and before there was time to put on the saber, the group of sword and shield soldiers rushed forward. When the sword was raised and dropped, the man's arms, thighs, and heads kept falling off the horse's back.
, and the war horses were also frightened and ran around in disorder.
At this time, Bian Xi led two thousand spearmen and rushed out of the camp. Then a bright red flag was waved continuously on the watchtower of the camp, and then two groups of Han cavalry suddenly came out from both sides of the official road.
Zhao Yun and Li Wenhou each led a thousand cavalry and appeared behind Beigong Boyu.
The rebels were shocked. They heard orange-red troops shouting "The Mighty Han Army" everywhere. They couldn't figure out how many there were. Morale suddenly dropped. Many rebels began to flee in all directions, but when they saw
In the woods on the left side of the official road, the flags of the Han army were waving. Fu Xie led 3,000 Han troops to fight out, while in the woods on the right, Gai Xun led 3,000 Han troops to fight out, surrounding the rebels on both sides.
The small open space immediately became very crowded with people squeezing people and horses squeezing horses.
In the camp, the Han army's crossbowmen continued to shoot arrows. They appeared one after another and shot at random places where there were many people. They suppressed the rebels with a rain of arrows.
There was a roar of people, screams and neighing of horses everywhere, and blood continued to spurt out of the human body. The yellow land soon turned into blood, and corpses were lying on the ground.
As soon as Beigong Boyu saw this situation, he immediately gathered the cavalry behind him and tried to rush out. However, the cavalry behind him was already in chaos. The proud and complacent rebel cavalry felt the fierce attack of the Han people for the first time.
The people who suddenly appeared were far beyond their imagination, causing them to fall into extreme psychological panic.
Unable to rush out from behind, the front kept retreating, and soon Beigong Boyu was squeezed into the center of the team. The crowded road made it impossible for him to turn around, or even get off his horse. He saw the Han army constantly surrounding them, and they
They were surrounded in a narrow area, and the rebel cavalry continued to decrease. In just a quarter of an hour, there were less than 5,000 rebel cavalry left.
The Qiang and Hu cavalry are not afraid of death. Gao Fei knows this deeply, so he does not dare to force each other. If the remaining cavalry engage in a trapped beast fight and fight for their lives with the Han army, the gain will outweigh the loss. Gao Fei
After killing the last rebel cavalry and surrounding them all in a very crowded area, he hurriedly shouted to behind him: "Change the white flag! Change the white flag quickly!"
The sound was spread to the camp, and the soldiers on the watchtower heard it and immediately waved the white flag vigorously. Once the white flag was lit, Zhao Yun and Li Wenhou, who were blocking the back, saw it, and they made a slight opening, deliberately pretending
The rebel cavalry broke through the siege.
As soon as the gap was opened, the rebel cavalry, who had been preparing to fight to the death when they saw that the situation was over, suddenly lost their intention and focused on breaking out.
As a result, the situation on the battlefield changed. Gao Fei and his men once again slashed forward and killed Fu Xie, Gai Xun and others on three sides. Zhao Yun and Li Wenhou, who were behind to make way, also used rolling logs on the roadside.
The rocks would hit those who were escaping hard. If you were good at archery, you might as well use a bow and arrow instead.
Although the future was dangerous and arrows were raining down on them, these rebels still ran back along the way out of the way without hesitation. They did not want to lose their lives while not grabbing money.
Beigong Boyu also quickly escaped along the road with his personal escort. He didn't care about anything at the moment, only escaping was the best way out.
Half an hour later, the fighting stopped completely. Zhao Yun followed the Qiang and Hu rebels with five hundred elite cavalry, hoping to kill a few more Qiang and Hu rebels.
The battlefield was filled with the smell of blood. All those who participated in the war began to clean up the site after the war, separated the corpses of Han soldiers and the corpses of the rebels, counted the battlefield, and gathered weapons, horses, and money. After half an hour of cleaning, the results
Then they came out. Eight thousand nine hundred and thirteen people were killed by the rebels, while only 567 were killed by the Han army. What an astonishing number. The soldiers of the Han army all admired Gao Fei's command and were excited.
Then, he couldn't help shouting the slogan "The Marquis is mighty", which established Gao Fei's prestige in the hearts of these soldiers.
"Master Hou, today is a great victory. If it weren't for Master Hou's command, we wouldn't be able to achieve such a victory. In this way, Beigong Boyu will definitely be afraid of Master Hou, and I'm afraid he won't chase after him again.
Now. We should quickly return to Chencang to set up defenses. If Han Sui comes with hundreds of thousands of troops, it will be difficult for us to resist." Fu Xie said happily.
Gao Fei nodded, and then ordered the soldiers to burn the corpses of the rebels and bury the corpses of the Han soldiers.
After everything was prepared for the funeral, Zhao Yun returned with five hundred cavalrymen, each with a human head hanging on his horse. He actually pursued and killed five hundred rebels. Then he set up camp and set up camp.
The Han army began to advance rapidly towards Chencang, which was eighty miles away.
In the evening, it started to rain. The wet and cold rain could not wash away the hot blood flowing in the bodies of the Han soldiers. In their hearts, the Duxiang Hou who led them forward had become the indispensable key to saving the entire Liangzhou.
