Ten miles away, we arrived in the blink of an eye, and the vanguard of the bandit army, with more than ten thousand troops, arrived outside Jinyuan City.
Jinyuan City was in ruins and an empty city. General Li Bai did not dare to camp inside. If there was an accident, he would easily be trapped in the jar to catch turtles, so he ordered to find an open space to camp outside the city.
The night has fallen, the cold wind is still there, and the lights on Taiyuan City, which are more than ten miles north, are faintly visible.
"Tomorrow, we will march to the city. We will break the city soon. We will take another step forward and make our first contribution!"
Li You was full of pride, and White Crane laughed in agreement. The soldiers behind him were making fire, cooking, and digging soil to set up camp. They were very busy, but they were also orderly. Everything looked so beautiful.
However, there is a word called sudden change!
When General Li Bai was in high spirits, he suddenly saw a star of fire approaching in the distance due to the north.
"Come here, let's investigate!" Li You frowned. The army set up camp, and naturally there were clear posts and hidden sentries outside. What's going on with these fires? Are the officers and soldiers approaching on horseback?
Just as they were wondering, suddenly, those sparks turned into a prairie fire and moved towards them quickly.
"Not good" Li Bai and Li Bai said in unison, and immediately thought of the same thing, attack the camp!
Probably the most feared thing for the leading generals when marching and fighting is that the camp will be attacked late at night.
Because the night itself can amplify people's fear, and with the cover of night, you have no idea how many people the other party has, their origins, and their fighting strength. You just want to escape...
So in history, especially when you look at the Three Kingdoms, you will find that many large camps with strong military strength are often defeated by small groups of troops!
Didn't it mean that the cowardly officers and soldiers were already trembling with fear, hiding in Taiyuan City like turtles and not daring to fight? Why did they still have the courage to go out of the city for a sneak attack at this time, and they were obviously prepared to fight!
This is not scientific!
Li Bai and Li Bai cursed in their hearts, but there was no time to discuss science and unscientific right now. The most urgent thing was to stabilize the position and face the enemy.
A rough calculation with torches from a distance shows that the number of officers and soldiers should be about ten thousand, which is about the same as our own. Fortunately, our own side is resting and setting up camp at this time. Although it is panicked and slightly embarrassed, it is by no means as confusing as dreaming of being attacked in the middle of the night.
Fleeing in all directions in panic.
It can be seen that the officers and soldiers did not grasp the timing correctly.
Li and Bai got on their horses and ordered their men to prepare for battle. At the same time, they ordered their own soldiers to stabilize their positions and prepare to meet the enemy.
The bandits here have just formed a hasty formation, and the officers and soldiers to the north are already two miles away. Li Bai and Li Bai couldn't help cursing in their hearts that the scouts had responded so hastily and allowed the officers and soldiers to get so close before they were discovered. If they were to make a surprise attack in the middle of the night...think about it.
Cold sweat.
"It's unbelievable that officers and soldiers would take such initiative. It's really rare!" Bai Minghe frowned deeply, a bad feeling lingering around him, but he couldn't put it into words.
"We were careless, and the Lord also underestimated the enemy. As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit, we were all deceived by the bad behavior of the officers and soldiers before. Now it seems that Zhou Yuji and the eunuch are playing very well." Li You also sighed!
"But I don't know why the officers and soldiers are so restless. If we wait a little while to set up camp, late at night... I'm afraid..." Bai Minghe couldn't help but shudder!
Li You shook his head slightly, with a puzzled look on his face: "Perhaps they have been ambushing here for a long time but were discovered by our spies, so they had to take action in advance." As he spoke, he suddenly snorted: "A bunch of trash, once this matter is over, they will be
Punish him severely!"
"Let's talk about the current matter first. Let's fight and retreat, or should we attack?" Bai Minghe said.
Li You frowned deeply: "If we retreat, we may be defeated, and the initiative is not in our hands at this time. Let's fight hard first. After all, the opponent's troops are equal to ours, and it is a dark night battle. It's not sure who will win." As he said it, he suddenly shouted
Roar: "Send the order, attack with all your strength!"
Because the officers and soldiers on the opposite side had already rushed over, what was originally a long dragon formation suddenly spread out on both wings, and rushed towards the rebels like flying eagles!
In an instant, the two armies were in close combat, and the cold winter land shrouded in darkness was filled with the sound of killing and killing, suppressing the howling cold wind without leaving a trace.
To the west of Jinyuan City are vast mountains, and to the east of the city is a flat plain with no mountains or forests. The place where the bandit army camped was on the official road to the east of the city. At this time, it was as tragic as hell.
Soldiers from both sides fought in the dark, and the fighting was evenly matched. It is said that the rebel army hastily lined up to fight, but it was also passive and psychologically weak.
But don’t forget, this is a night battle!
It is well known that thieves are good at night fighting. Due to their habits due to their background, thieves are inherently shady. They fight secretly and attack at night. When they were surrounded by officers and soldiers, they also escaped in the dark. They accumulated extremely abundant experience points.
Using their strengths to make up for their weaknesses, and with the equal strength of their troops, the two sides were in a fight that was indistinguishable for a while.
But some people don’t want to see this situation!
Over there is Chang Yu who came with the five hundred emperor's personal guards!
The ones who started a head-on fight with the rebels were Yang Zhenwei and He Cheng, the vanguard of officers and soldiers. They led 10,000 troops to lure the enemy head-on.
When the two sides were fighting, the two of them also led their own soldiers into the battle group, because he still had someone behind him!
"It's our turn! Remember, don't embarrass the guards!" Chang Yu turned around and shouted!
"I am willing to follow the factory owner through fire and water!" Li Zhong, Duan Wuhu, Zhou Tianpeng and others quickly responded: "Please give the factory owner the order!"
"Just do it!" Chang Yu shouted, and rushed into the battle group, led by Li Tiezhu and the original Jiang Yu's servants, following close behind to protect his safety!
The two sides fought for half a cup of tea, but neither showed signs of decline. One was good at night fighting and the other had high morale. The killing was indistinguishable. During the fierce battle, most of the torches on the field were extinguished, showing the fierce and tragic situation!
They didn't expect that these officers and soldiers would be so tough. Li Bai and Li Bai looked grave, and then were shocked for a moment.
Because suddenly there was a fire two miles away to the east, and there was a loud killing sound. The two of them were shocked. There was actually an ambush among the officers and soldiers!
At this time, the rebel soldiers who were fighting also noticed this. They were shocked and the morale of the soldiers was in chaos!
"Quickly retreat!" Li and Bai immediately panicked and hurriedly ordered to retreat southward!
However, before the rebel army could even take off its steps towards retreating south, fire broke out again in the south...
Damn, Li and Bai were so horrified that their eyes almost burst out with fire. They actually entered the encirclement! And they didn't notice it at all!
"Retreat to the west!" Li You shouted in a hurry, and the soldiers immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat to the west!
To the west is Jinyuan City, but of course they won't be stupid enough to retreat into the city, and they will be the turtles if they are stuck inside!
The so-called west refers to the vast mountains to the west of Jinyuan City. Once the officers and soldiers entered the mountains, they would naturally stop chasing them. Their defeat was a foregone conclusion, but at least they could escape with their lives.
However, what made Li and Bai desperate was that a group of troops suddenly shot out from the ruins of Jinyuan City and blocked the bandits' way to escape westward!
"Isn't it said that it is in ruins and empty of people?" Bai Minghe roared to the sky in despair!
This should be the so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. From top to bottom, the rebels feel that the officers and soldiers will only stay in Taiyuan City and defend the city, unable to get out. Those Tan Ma who are running hard with their lives hanging by a thread also have this mentality.
, so after entering Jinyuan City, which was already in ruins, I just went through the motions in a hurry and ended the matter hastily.
But I didn't expect that it would be easy to hide thousands of people in the dark ruined city.
The sound of killing was loud all around, and the number of people and horses was unknown. The bandits were trembling with fear, and they fled in all directions but had no way to escape.
Both Li and Bai knew that their defeat was certain, and resisting would only lead to death in vain.
At this time, the two finally understood why the officers and soldiers did not wait for them to set up camp late at night before making a sneak attack, because it was simply unnecessary!
If they want to survive now, there is only one way available
surrender!
This battle was as Chang Yu had expected, and the outcome was a foregone conclusion from the moment he decided to start the fight.
First, they used scout horses to resist the rebel spies, and then sent troops to surround the rear from the east and set up an ambush. At the same time, thousands of troops were ambushed in Jinyuan City.
In order to avoid being discovered by them, the ambush troops on the east side and the rear stayed away from each other, and then used the vanguard troops of He Chengxin and Yang Zhenwei to attract the enemy's attention in front of them, and then slowly approached them. When the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, they poured a basin of cold water on them.
It made the thieves' soldiers feel cold to the core.
Twice the force, ambushed and beaten in the dark, if they don't win, Chang Yu may take the lead and commit suicide by hitting the wall!
The bandit army had surrendered, weapons were scattered all over the place, and groups of bandit soldiers were driven towards Taiyuan City by the officers and soldiers.
Two generals with their hair distributed were tied into rice dumplings and kneeling on the ground, while Niu Yong was yelling and scolding.
Chang Yu rode up on his horse and held a sword, sweating profusely, and pointed his sword: "Who are these two?"
"Back to the factory, Mr. Pioneer, Li You and Bai Minghe!" Niu Yong said.
Hearing Niu Yong's name, Li Bai couldn't help but look up at Chang Yu!
"What are you worried about? Believe it or not!" Chang Yu shouted angrily, which frightened Li and Bai so much that they trembled and quickly lowered their heads: "Sir, spare your life!"
"Take them away." Chang Yu snorted coldly, and a few servants came out from behind and tied the two thieves behind the horses and drove away. The two of them followed the horses and ran in a mess.
"Mr. Factory Master, what should we do with these prisoners?" Niu Yong asked forward. He knew that with Chang Yu's temperament, he would always kill the prisoners of the rebel army!
But this time there were nearly 10,000 prisoners, so it was impossible to kill them all!
Chang Yu also had a big head. He looked up and looked due south, then turned back and said: "Pack it up and return to Taiyuan immediately!"
This battle was well prepared and unexpected, and the harvest was rich. In addition to nearly 10,000 prisoners, there were also a large number of weapons, horses, and a small amount of food and grass.
