Xia Qing discovered an ambush location on the way to Coba City. Xia Qing, who was once a gangster, was very experienced in this area. The location he chose was called the "Horse Burial Pit" in the jargon of Jianghu. He would swoop down and the opponent would try to escape. It's too late.
After Zhu Tianjiang and Xia Qing met, they immediately divided their forces into three groups. Zhu and Xia Qing each led 5,000 men, but the remaining forces were handed over to the command of Da Niu. As for him, Zhan Ling Lin Feng and others, they stood at the top Observed the enemy formation.
"Tianjiang, where is this place? Those strange rocks are quite scary in the dark." Zhan Ling leaned next to Zhu Tianjiang and asked in a low voice.
"I just looked at the map and it seems that this place is called Shiziling. I guess there will be a lot more lonely ghosts here after tonight. Ling'er, I will have a lot more materials when I tell you ghost stories in the future." Zhu Tianjiang said, turning to look at Zhan Ling.
Zhan Ling's face turned red. If it weren't for Zhu Tianjiang's ghost story that night on the grassland, they might not have gotten together. Thinking of how Zhu Tianjiang changed from a poor slave to a proud general that night, Zhan Ling Ling glared at him angrily, thinking that this guy had many tricks to deceive girls.
The cold wind was biting, and the Uzbek soldiers and horses were hiding on both sides of the official road. The horses were muzzled to prevent them from making noise and exposing their targets. Standing on a high place, Zhu Tianjiang saw three torches at different locations extinguished one by one. Knowing that everyone is already in place, they are just waiting for the arrival of Mawei's army in Coba City.
In Guishan City, the cunning and cunning Zhou Yantian has been feeling restless for the past two days. There has been no news from Xuanming's army for a long time, which makes him panic. Zhou Yantian also hopes that after the Uzbek tribe's victory, he can fight with him Form an alliance to consolidate the territory outside Hukou Pass. Now, not only has there been no news from Tianqing, but the Hukou Pass army suddenly attacked him. Through these signs, Zhou Yantian judged that Tianqing might appear changed.
Facing the sudden attack of Wen Ruhai's army, Zhou Yantian was not afraid. Zhou Yantian had already made preparations in the past few months, and Guishan City had sufficient food and grass and strong soldiers. Moreover, in the crisscrossing canyons behind the city, Zhou Yantian He also found a secret place to stockpile a large amount of food and grass. Even if Guishan City was forcibly broken open, the maze-like canyon behind him would be his life-saving place.
At Yinshi in the early morning, according to Zhu Tianjiang, this time period is the most sleepy time. Generally, choosing this time to launch a surprise attack will cause a huge fear and panic to the other party.
Wen Ruhai's army and Zhu Si's army merged together, and the officers and soldiers were reorganized. Qin Wei estimated the time and gave an order, and nearly 30,000 troops suddenly appeared in the sight of the Guishan City sentry.
"Not good~ The enemy is attacking~ Quick~ Sound the alarm~!"
When the sentry standing on the watchtower saw the army in the mist, Wen Ruhai's army was already less than 500 feet away from the city wall.
A rapid sound of alarm bells woke up the sleeping city, and the garrison officers and soldiers ran up the city wall, preparing to face the enemy's crazy attack.
At this time, there was still more than half an hour before dawn. The torches were brightly lit outside Guishan City. More than a dozen catapults had been pushed forward. With a whooshing sound, huge stone bullets hit the city wall.
Zhou Yantian also woke up from his sleep and learned that there were 30,000 troops outside the city. Zhou Yantian couldn't help being shocked. According to his intelligence, this was the strength of the Wenruhai Coba City barracks. Could it be said that Emperor Chengwu had another Have troops been mobilized from within the pass? Thinking of this, Zhou Yantian did not dare to neglect, quickly put on his clothes and ran to the city gate.
Wen Ruhai sent his army to the outside of Coba City. In fact, Zhou Yantian was fully capable of eating his 30,000 troops. However, Zhou Yantian was smart in that he did not want to fight head-on. Wen Ruhai's army belonged to Guo Tianxin of Zhennan Camp.
The team and the legion's fighting style are extremely tough. If Zhou Yantian doesn't fight with them, he is just waiting for Wen Ruhai to attack the city. Zhou Yantian wants to wear down Wen Ruhai's troops in the offensive and defensive battle. Another point is that Zhou Yantian loses
They could not afford troops. The Dafeng Dynasty could mobilize troops without restraint, but it took Zhou Yantian more than half a year to accumulate this small amount of troops, and he did not want to lose them in a head-on battle.
"Uncle, General Fan Rong of Hukou Pass is scolding the formation and wants you to come out and talk to me." On the city wall, Ge Han, the soldier and horse guard of Guishan City, saw Zhou Yantian coming up and hurried over to report.
Under the city wall, Qin Wei ordered the catapult to hit the formation a few times, and then began to let Fan Rong scold the formation. He did this to let Zhou Yantian see that all the soldiers and horses of Coba City were coming. On the other hand, Zhu Si also let
The gunner quietly adjusted the muzzle, just waiting for Zhou Yantian to show up and shoot him to death. The gun carriage was covered by leaves and other objects, and there was nothing visible from the outside. It looked like a deliberately decorated grain and grass truck.
Zhou Yantian was extremely cautious. He didn't want to be hit by catapult stones. At his age, he no longer cared about whether he was a hero or not. Zhou Yantian hid behind the battlements and looked down carefully. After watching for a while, Zhou Yantian snorted coldly.
With a cry he retreated and walked down the city wall.
"Uncle Guo, do you want to rush out of the city gate and annihilate them in one fell swoop?" Ge Han said through gritted teeth.
Zhou Yantian shook his head and sneered, "Humph! Wen Ruhai, Wen Ruhai, it seems that this man is just a reckless man, and he came to attack my Guishan City quietly in the middle of the night. It seems that he was not shot to death last time.
, this man has a grudge, and is ready to fight to the death. It just so happens that I will take him in this time. Ge Han, pass the order, all the soldiers and horses in the city are assembled, ready to go out of the city to kill at any time. If anyone comes, fly the eagle to send a message immediately.
, ordered Ma Wei to lead all troops to immediately support Guishan City."
There was a hint of unkindness in Zhou Yantian's sneer. Among the military generals of the Dafeng Dynasty, except for Guo Tianxin, only Prince Jing was worthy of his attention. In Zhou Yantian's eyes, generals like Wen Ruhai were only worthy of being
A character who charges into battle. Of course, Zhu Tianjiang is an exception. Because Zhou Yantian never understood what kind of person Zhu Tianjiang was from the beginning to the end. In Zhou Yantian's eyes, this guy Zhu Tianjiang is simply more hateful than the Emperor Wu.
Besides, to have such impressive achievements at such a young age is simply not human.
Outside Guishan City, Qin Wei, Zhu Si and others saw that there had been no movement on the city wall. In desperation, Qin Wei could only call Fan Rong back and began to order the infantry battalion to pretend to attack the city. Zhu Si ordered the artillery vehicles to retreat
, since Zhou Yantian did not show up, he did not want to expose this thing prematurely. The heavy archers also began to press forward and began to shoot at the city wall.
The army outside the city was shouting and shouting, and their fighting spirit was high, but not a single soldier risked his life to climb up the city wall. After two updates, the shouts of killing outside the city gradually became quieter.
Zhou Yantian, who had been sitting under the city gate, frowned and was about to ask when he saw Ge Han running down the city.
"Uncle Guo, Wen Ruhai's army has withdrawn its troops!"
"What? The troops have been withdrawn?" Zhou Yantian was startled and thought to himself that Wen Ruhai was trying to trick him. Was he going to fight back and meet Ma Wei's army halfway?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yantian quickly ran up the city wall. The torches in the distance were shining, and the city was in a mess. What surprised Zhou Yantian was that Wen Ruhai's army did not withdraw, but retreated several hundred feet and stopped in place.
They came down. Looking at the opponent's formation, they were still in an attacking formation and didn't look like they were about to leave.
"What the hell are they doing? Aren't they afraid that when Ma Wei's army comes, they will be attacked from both sides?" Zhou Yantian muttered to himself. Ever since he led the army, he has never seen anything like this.
The way he plays, he is simply committing suicide.
Zhou Yantian suddenly thought of a question and hurriedly turned back to ask Lu Yu, the general in charge of intelligence.
"Lu Yu, is there any news from the capital? Could it be that the camp on the outskirts of Beijing has mobilized troops again?"
"Uncle Guo, everything is normal with the troops and horses in the capital. The ghost doctor Zhuo Xing also came with news a few days ago, saying that the troops from several southern capitals have not moved and there is no sign of going north."
Zhou Yantian frowned, "This is strange, is Wen Ruhai waiting for a fight to the death with us?" Zhou Yantian held his beard in his hand, and really couldn't figure out what Wen Ruhai was going to do.
Zhou Yantian had many calculations, but he failed to predict that the Wu people would send troops to support Dafeng's army. During the Dafeng Dynasty, Zhou Yantian deployed many spies, and he also released several spies in the capital of King Tianqing. However, the spirit-telling army
Coming directly from the direction of Kaser City, the Tianqing Kingdom's spies had no idea about the situation. Moreover, even the news that Xuanming's army was eaten was said by Zhu Tianjiang that it was the Uzbek army that was defeated. Therefore, the Tianqing Kingdom's side
Zhou Yantian still doesn’t know about it.
The spies from the Tianqing Kingdom knew that the two major clans were in peace talks. They thought that after the peace talks, Xuan Ming would bring his troops back to the mountain city and report the news directly to Zhou Yantian. The spies in the capital city did not have any messengers like birds.
Tools, it would take months to travel back and forth. Therefore, it is not a major matter to them, and there is no need to report it.
In Coba City, Ma Wei was very confused after reading the secret order from Zhou Yantian. The flags of the camp outside the city were fluttering, so how could it appear outside Guishan City?
"Come here, send a team of people out of the city to have a look. I don't believe they have the ability to clone themselves." Ma Wei did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered people to check.
After two bags of cigarettes, the troops sent out ran back, "General, there is an empty camp outside the city." A Biaotong stepped forward and said.
"Empty camp? No! Wen Ruhai is trying to hold us back so that he can take over Guishan City. Come and organize all the troops." Upon hearing this, Ma Wei quickly gave the order.
Ma Wei finished forming his team, leaving only 500 people behind, and took out all the hidden troops and horses. The 20,000 troops in Coba City rushed forward and rushed towards Guishan City. Ma Wei was worried about Wen Ruhai's army
After desperately attacking the city, Zhou Yantian's side suffered too much loss, and he kept urging the army to speed up along the way.
As soon as Ma Wei led his army into Shiziling, he saw a fire spot on the top of the mountain swinging back and forth.
On the top of the mountain, Zhu Daguan's face turned red from the cold, and he kept drawing circles with a torch in his hand.
"I'm paralyzed. I've waited for you to come. If you don't come, I'll be frozen."
As Zhu Tianjiang's torch swayed, a group of men and horses suddenly shot out from both sides at the rear of Ma Wei's army, blocking the retreat.
Before Ma Wei could react, he heard a numbing whooshing sound in the sky. A terrible rain of arrows fell from the sky, mercilessly shooting at the terrified army!
