When they got here, Ziying took a breath of cold air, turned his horse's head and walked quickly to the roadside. Jiang Fan, Zhan Hu and other generals didn't understand what was going on, so they hurriedly followed. Both sides of the official road were diagonally upward.
On the gentle slope, Ziying urged the horse to walk up for a while, then looked forward again, reined in the reins, and frowned even more.
Seeing his worried look, Zhan Hu asked, "General Ziying, what's wrong?"
Ziying looked around at everyone with a solemn expression and said: "Look, the official road here is high on both sides and low in the center. Once the enemy sets up an ambush on both sides and rushes down from the heights, our army may not be able to resist."
A charge from a high position is naturally more effective with less effort, not to mention that there is still heavy fog as a cover, which is what worries Ziying the most.
Zhan Hu smiled nonchalantly and said: "General Ziying, you are worrying too much. It's foggy now. Our army can't find the enemy, and the enemy will definitely not find our army. How could they suddenly set up an ambush on the roadside?"
His words were not unreasonable, but Ziying was still in a state of confusion and found it difficult to settle down. The Hedong area was full of plains, and there were very few places where he could set up an ambush. If it were normal times, he wouldn't be able to set up an ambush here, but now it's foggy.
With the sky as a cover, Ziying was not sure whether the enemy would take the opportunity to ambush here.
He led the generals down the gentle slope and returned to the army. Then he sent an order to the whole army to move forward quickly and leave this place quickly.
An army of 100,000 people, carrying a lot of equipment and supplies, and the road was muddy, the Sky Eagle Army could not advance faster even if it wanted to. Just when the front army of the Sky Eagle Army had moved out of this depression,
Suddenly, a huge commotion was heard from the rear army, followed by shouts of killing and shouting all over the place.
Ziying, who was in the middle army, didn't understand what was going on, and hurriedly sent people to find out what was going on in the rear army. Not long after he sent the spies out, a Feng sergeant rushed over on horseback.
It was easy to find Ziying's location in the heavy fog. He urged his horse to rush forward, turned over and dismounted, and shouted urgently: "General, something bad has happened. The rear army has been attacked by the enemy!"
"What?" Hearing this, the generals of the Feng Army led by Ziying were all shocked. Before Ziying could say anything, Zhan Hu let out a strange howl, raised his giant hammer, and said, "General Ziying, I'm going
Face the enemy!" After saying that, he ran towards the rear with long strides. Afraid that Zhan Hu would make a mistake if he went to face the battle alone, Jiang Fan quickly followed him. Seeing that the other generals were also following him, he turned around and said, "You guys stay here.
Protect General Ziying, the enemies in the rear army are left to General Zhan Hu and me!"
Jiang Fan was very thoughtful. He knew very well that if the rear army encountered a sneak attack, it would only lose some soldiers and supplies at best. But once the Chinese army encountered another enemy attack, Ziying had a shortcoming and the situation of the Sky Eagle Army would collapse.
The edge of.
At this time, the Tianying Army's rear army was in chaos. Ziying guessed correctly. There were indeed Ning soldiers setting up an ambush in this low-lying area, but there were not many people in the ambush. There were about 3,000 people. Of course, this small amount of manpower could not stop them.
In response to the 100,000-strong Sky Eagle Army, the Ning Army deliberately let the front and center troops of the Sky Eagle Army pass. When the rear army was about to pass the ambush site, the Ning Army launched a surprise attack.
They weaved dozens of giant balls from rattan in advance, each with a diameter of two feet. They were also smeared with kerosene and pitch pine to make them stick to the fire. Before launching a sneak attack, they first used these dozens of rattan balls.
The giant woven ball was ignited and pushed down the gentle slope. The giant ball burning with blazing flames rolled down from the top of the gentle slope. It rolled faster and faster. Due to the heavy fog blocking the sight, Feng Jun only heard a strange buzzing on both sides.
There was a loud sound, but they didn't see clearly what was approaching. When people clearly saw dozens of huge fireballs rolling over with billowing smoke, it was already too late to avoid them.
The fireball rolled into the Fengjun camp, causing screams. Many Fengjun who could not avoid it were hit by the fireball. Their clothes and leather armor immediately caught fire. Even if they were not hit or crushed to death by the fireball, they would still be killed.
Burned alive by the raging fire, countless Feng soldiers with their bodies burning with flames were seen rolling all over the ground, howling and screaming as they were burned.
This was the prelude to Ning Guo's ambush launching a sneak attack. Next, dense rockets fell from the sky. The Feng soldiers who were not affected by the fireballs were just about to form a battle formation to deal with the enemy in the fog, but the formation had not yet been established. The outer row
The man was shot by the rocket and turned into a hedgehog, and died an untimely death.
Ning's army's arrow formations were fired one after another, as if they never stopped. The unprepared Feng army was also shot in row after row. People looked around dizzy, and were often shot over by rockets before they even found the enemy.
On the ground. What's more terrible is that the Feng army's supplies were also affected by the rockets. Several trebuchets and city-breaking crossbows caught fire with arrows, and the fire became more and more intense.
The soldiers of Feng Army were completely stunned by the sudden attack. The troops were out of line and fled forward and backward like a pile of scattered sand. At this time, the three thousand Ning troops who were ambushing on the high ground finally rushed down. The charge from a high position was as powerful as thunder.
, many of the Feng soldiers who did not escape and stayed to defend themselves from the enemy were directly knocked to the ground by the Ning soldiers who rushed down and never stood up again.
The Feng Army, which was originally very good at close combat and had an absolute numerical advantage, was beaten by the mere three thousand Ning Army and was almost unable to fight back. Some people fled forward, some ran backward, and some people were desperately resisting Ning.
Soldiers, the entire camp lost unified command, and the soldiers below were fighting independently and in chaos.
While the rear army was struggling to parry and desperately protecting the army's baggage, food and fodder, Zhan Hu and Jiang Fan, who came from the Chinese army, arrived. Before they reached the battlefield, the two men encountered the defeated soldiers below.
When Zhan Hu saw this, he was so angry that he shouted: "Why are you running away? Follow me and kill you back!"
Seeing the arrival of the two generals, Zhan Hu and Jiang Fan, the Feng soldiers finally found their backbone, and their flustered moods stabilized. People turned their heads one after another, and the rear team changed to the front team, and they started again following Zhan Hu and Jiang Fan.
They turned back to fight back. When they arrived at the scene of the fierce battle between the two sides, Zhan Hu and Jiang Fan both felt their hearts tremble.
The battlefield was littered with corpses, most of which belonged to soldiers of the Feng Army. Some were killed by arrows, while others were burned alive. They were beyond recognition, leaving only a black mass. Zhan Hu's anger went straight to his forehead.
, he roared up to the sky, dragged the giant hammer, and rushed towards the place where the Ning army was most densely populated.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, Zhan Hu fiercely rolled out the giant hammer that had already been spiritualized. Buzz! The sound of the giant hammer hanging in the wind made people feel dizzy and breathless. The Ning soldiers instinctively used
He held a spear and a halberd in his hand to resist, but these ordinary weapons could not withstand the heavy blow of the giant hammer.
A continuous sound of breaking was heard in the helix, and the weapons in Ning Jun's hands were broken one after another. Before anyone could react, Zhan Hu's second heavy hammer came.
Pounce - It was just a hammer. At least six or seven Ning soldiers were swept away horizontally. While they were still in mid-air, blood was pouring out from their seven holes and they died. Zhan Hu's hammer did not stop for a moment, smashing six soldiers into the air.
, seven people, and then they fired several hammers in a row. The hammers were all so powerful that they were enough to break bones and tendons. The Ning army camp was thrown into chaos by Zhan Hu alone.
The fighting tiger was so brave that the morale of the Feng army soldiers below also doubled. The people regrouped, formed a fighting formation, and started close combat with the Ning army. Of course, the bravery of the fighting tiger goes without saying, but the threat Jiang Fan posed to the enemy in the battle was
Bigger. He will not take action easily, but once he is targeted, it is difficult to survive. Moreover, the person targeted by him is either an enemy general, or a commander or captain in the army. Anyway, they are all responsible
The leader who directs the soldiers below to fight.
Jiang Fan can be regarded as an outstanding dark spiritual cultivator. He is extremely skilled in the use of shadow drift. At this time, there is heavy fog and the sky is dark. He is even more at home in the enemy's camp, wandering around as if he is invisible.
The human realm, wherever it appears, will always be accompanied by a sharp scream, which is the wailing of the leader of the Ning Army before his death.
Under the leadership of Generals Zhan Hu and Jiang Fan, the Feng Army gradually stopped their defeat and quickly reversed the situation. Soon, the Feng Army took the initiative on the battlefield.
Seeing that the Feng Army had completely calmed down from the panic of the sneak attack, they launched a sharp counterattack against their own side. The two Ning generals responsible for the sneak attack looked at each other and said in unison: "Withdraw!"
The two had the same opinion. They both turned their horses' heads and retreated to the roadside. At the same time, they issued an order for the entire army to retreat.
The Ning army came and retreated even faster. As the sound of ringing gold sounded, the soldiers of the Ning army who were fighting fiercely with the Feng army began to retreat together and quickly disappeared into the mist.
Now they want to retreat, but Feng Jun still doesn't agree! Zhan Hu looked left and right, but couldn't find Jiang Fan, and then shouted to the surrounding Feng Jun soldiers: "Brothers, don't let Thief Ning escape, follow me to chase him!"
"kill--"
Zhan Hu was brave and fought fiercely, so his reputation among the soldiers was naturally high. He responded to his call, and people shouted and followed Zhan Hu to pursue the retreating Ning army.
The two Ning generals in the Ning army retreated the fastest and were at the front. They were both old men from Hedong County. They were so familiar with the terrain here that they could identify the direction clearly even in thick fog.
, knowing which way to go is more conducive to getting rid of Feng Jun's pursuit. Although they are retreating now, there are still Feng Jun who are like wolves and tigers behind them, but the two Ning generals are not nervous at all, and they ride away
It's also not hurried or slow.
"General Zhang, should we withdraw directly to the county or elsewhere?" General Ning on the left asked easily.
"Although you and I have completed the tasks assigned by you, wouldn't it be better if we could make more contributions?" The general named Zhang Ning said with a smile.
"General Zhang means..."
"Retreat south!"
"Nan Nan? That's a swampy area!"
"That's right! Armadillo Swamp." General Zhang Ning said with a smile: "When we get there, even you and I have to be careful and don't dare to take a wrong step, let alone the Feng Army who doesn't understand the terrain?! Think about it
, once they follow our army into the swamp, how many of them will come out alive in the end? Isn’t this another great achievement?!"
