Qu Sheng led 30,000 cavalry out of the Zhou army's camp, deliberately avoiding the Han army's attacking troops. The Han army seemed to turn a blind eye to this huge cavalry team. Both sides seemed to be somewhat artificial in ignoring the other's existence.
There is even a bit of avoidance.
If Qu Sheng hadn't been carried away by that crazy idea, he would have become wary of the Han army's performance. Why did the Han army have no scruples when it was obvious that he had discovered him? Why was the Han army not afraid of bringing three soldiers with him?
Wan Tieqi went around to launch an attack? Why did the Han army look more like they wanted to attack the Han army's camp?
If Qu Sheng is willing to calm down and think about it, the defeat may be reversed. From this point, it can be seen that this general who has never forgotten to defeat Liu Ling and whose greatest wish in life is to defeat Liu Ling has a higher psychological quality than
Liu Linglai was still too far behind. No matter in adversity or good times, Liu Ling could maintain a calm mind. On the battlefield, this was particularly important. And Qu Sheng, at the moment when he saw the hope of victory,
became crazy.
When Qu Sheng led the cavalry to gallop south, he heard the loud noises in the Zhou army's base camp. At this moment, he also reined in his horse and looked back at the base camp with flames soaring into the sky. But he only hesitated for a moment, and then
Gritting his teeth, he ordered the army to move forward. General Youlang reminded Qu Sheng that the base camp may have encountered a crisis, and His Royal Highness the King of Zhou may have encountered a crisis. Qu Sheng just said coldly: "There are 120,000 troops in the base camp, and the attacking Han army
There are less than 50,000 people, and His Highness is personally in charge, what else can happen? As long as we defeat the Han army’s camp in one fell swoop and capture Liu Ling alive, no matter how fierce the Han army’s offensive is, it’s still not a defeat?”
Because Pei Zhan walked out of the big tent after the Han army started to attack, the soldiers of the Zhou army and the middle-level and low-level generals already knew that His Highness the King of Zhou was in the army. Undoubtedly, this also played a role in the surprise attack by the Han army.
It has a very good effect on calming the morale of the military.
Just when Qu Sheng made up his mind not to return to the camp for rescue, the Han army's 300 repeating pyrotechnics began to show off their power. It can be said that this was the largest use of the Han army since the Han army equipped repeating pyrotechnics. Three hundred
When the fire ballistas fired a salvo, the sky was filled with arrows! Hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows poured out. What a spectacular and tragic scene it was? It can be seen from this that how long the Han army had been preparing for this night attack! A salvo
It requires hundreds of thousands of crossbow arrows. How many crossbow arrows alone do you need to prepare?
For the first time, the power of the weapon was displayed so horribly. Looking at the soldiers falling down like wheat blown by the wind, Pei Zhan finally understood why the Han army dared to attack the Zhou army with 40,000 people against the 120,000 Zhou army. Then
Should this kind of weapon appear in the human world?
It is not that he has not understood the fighting methods of the Han army. He is very familiar with this weapon called the repeating fire ballista. However, he has not seen the power of this weapon. He cannot understand the horror by his own imagination.
. At this moment, he realized that the invincibility of the Han army relied on more than just one person's ability to lead the army. He knew that this weapon was invented by Liu Ling, the king of Han Dynasty. At this moment, he felt
That Liu Ling whom I had never met before was so terrifying.
If a person can create such a heaven-defying weapon, what else can he not do? In this world, what can I use to compete with the other party?
Since he has such a powerful weapon, why does Liu Ling still cooperate with Li Tianfang, Yue Le, and Mi Huang?
Pei Zhan smiled bitterly, it turned out that Liu Ling valued him so much.
The bombardment from the warships continued. After a salvo, the fire ballistas needed time to load the crossbows. After the Zhou army lost tens of thousands of archers, the entire perimeter of the camp was covered with crossbows. From a distance, it looked like
Like a huge and ferocious hedgehog. The crossbow arrows were so dense that the fence of the entire camp was covered with crossbow arrows! Fortunately, it took a long time to load the crossbow arrows in this continuous fire ballista. Otherwise, it would have to be done again.
With a volley of fire, the Ding'an Army was completely defeated.
Pei Zhan forced himself to calm down and ordered the remaining 20,000 cavalry in the cavalry battalion to launch a countercharge against the attacking Han army. Those damn repeating fire ballistas were just a few hundred meters away from the camp. It only took 20,000 cavalry to kill them.
, can smash those heaven-defying things to pieces! As long as the Han army does not have the continuous fire ballista, it can't win with only those 40,000 troops!
But Pei Zhan also knew that Li Tianfang and Yue Lemihuang's army might appear outside the camp the next moment. The 20,000 cavalry were originally prepared to attack Li Tianfang and Yue Lemihuang's troops, Pei Zhan thought.
The only thing he had to do was to launch a counterattack when the enemy was relaxed and careless. However, the huge power of the repeating fire ballista made him feel piercing fear. He had to smash those damn things first, otherwise... the battle would not continue without a fight.
.
Let's fight, now he can only pin his hope of victory on Qu Sheng's 30,000 cavalry.
The trumpet sound sounded from the right wing. Pei Zhan was very familiar with it. It was the horn sound of the Zhou army's attack.
Is it Li Tianfang who is here? Or is it Yue Lemihuang?
It doesn't matter anymore. The reason why he sent Qu Sheng out was not only to steal the Han army's retreat, seize Liu Ling and eliminate the Han army. Another factor was that he needed a mobile force to attack the Han army.
Support outside the camp. The sound of horns came from the right wing, indicating that the right wing camp had begun to be attacked. There were 20,000 troops stationed in the right wing camp. Pei Zhan knew that with those 20,000 people, they could not stop Li Tianfang and Yue Lemi.
Desolate.
The Li Jiajun and the Qingzhou soldiers totaled 200,000 troops.
It can be surrounded ten times. However, the Li Jiajun and Qingzhou soldiers don't need to surround them, they just need to crush them hard.
Pei Zhan suddenly thought of escaping. As long as he fled back to Jizhou, where he still had an army of 250,000, as long as he returned to Jizhou, he would still be the overlord. What he didn't know was that on the same day, July 15th,
On the day of the Ghost Festival, 200,000 Han troops and the Chengde army in Jizhou City began to massacre his 25-strong army. The combined strength of the Han army and the Chengde army was equivalent to that of the Ding'an army, but the Han army had tens of thousands
The cavalry, and the cavalry of the Ding'an Army, were all led back south by Pei Zhan.
This is a big picture, a big picture set for his Pei Zhan!
Pei Zhan's throat felt sweet, and the smell of blood rushed up, and he swallowed it again.
While he was commanding the army to fight, he was rapidly calculating in his mind, how could the occupation turn defeat into victory today? After thinking about it, he found that all his hopes lay with Qu Sheng.
Suddenly, he thought of a question.
With 40,000 Han troops in an all-out attack, Liu Ling was so confident in handing over his back to the Li Jiajun and Qingzhou soldiers? Wasn't he afraid that Li Tianfang and Yue Lemihuang would outflank his retreat from behind? Li Tianfang is a cunning person, Yue Lemihuang
Lehe and Mihuang are not fuel-efficient lamps. Moreover, they are all ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. As long as they want to dominate the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they must pay attention to their reputation. What's the use of a person who joins forces with a foreign enemy to massacre the people of Paoze?
Are you qualified to ascend to that position? Thinking of this, Pei Zhan's eyes suddenly lit up. He thought that as long as Li Tianfang and Yue Lemihuang tried to steal Liu Ling's retreat, he would still have a chance to stand up!
Taking advantage of the three parties to fight together, it is not impossible to bring the troops and fight a bloody way out!
However, when he thought of this, his expression changed again. His eyes that had appeared brighter dimmed again, because he thought of another possibility.
If this guess is true, then Liu Ling is simply terrifying!
Pei Zhan vaguely guessed that there was only one possibility why Liu Ling dared to hand over his back to those two or three people. That is, in this war, Liu Ling was not just targeting him, Pei Zhan, but even Li Tianfang and Li Tianfang.
Yue Lemihuang was involved in the scheme! That lunatic, he wanted to accomplish everything in one battle? But why was he so confident? The Ding'an Army, Li Jiajun, and Qingzhou Army combined totaled more than 300,000 troops. Why did Liu Ling take this
Swallowing more than 300,000 troops in one breath? What did he rely on? Or did he guess wrong?
Pei Zhan's mind was spinning rapidly. He had to think clearly about what Liu Ling was planning?! If Liu Ling really wanted to kill the last four people in the Great Zhou Dynasty who had the strength to dominate the Central Plains, what kind of back-up plan would he have?
?
At this time, the Zhou army's cavalry had already fought out. The Han army's cavalry came back to meet the enemy. The cavalry from both sides hit each other hard like a torrent. Too many people fell off their horses and were quickly defeated by the rebel army.
They were trampled to pieces. The two sides were killing each other in full swing, but soon, something even more unexpected happened!
Report!
A cavalry general flew back, jumped off his horse and knelt down on one knee: "Your Highness, the attacker... is not the Han army!"
Pei Zhan's head buzzed, and his body swayed, almost unable to stand.
"Not the Han army? Whose army is that?"
he asked roaringly.
General Nalang hesitated for a moment and said: "It should...should be our troops staying in Kaifeng!"
"Where is the Han army? Where is the Han army!"
Pei Zhan roared angrily, pretending to be crazy.
At this moment, suddenly, a series of explosions came from the attacking army!
I saw that the three hundred repeating fire ballistas exploded one after another. Those Li Jiajun who were still busy loading the crossbows were killed in countless blows in an instant! Suddenly, the Li Jiajun, who was originally vigorous,
Became confused.
Li Tianfang, who was commanding the attack, almost vomited blood. He sat on horseback and roared: "Little Liu Ling! You and I are irreconcilable!"
Pei Zhan would not let go of this opportunity.
Since the enemy is in chaos, no matter who the enemy is, this is an opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow!
Pei Zhan immediately ordered the entire army to attack the attacking Li family army!
At the same time, 30,000 cavalry led by Qu Sheng entered the Han army camp, and what greeted them was an overwhelming Qingzhou army! His 30,000 cavalry were surrounded by 100,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and they were as if they were stuck in a quagmire!
Qu Sheng wiped the blood from his face, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Where are the Han troops!?"
