Zhao Zilong led three thousand dragon-shaped troops and counterattacked the pursuing soldiers.
Choosing a narrow place to ambush, the army was hidden on both sides of the road. Before long, the rapid sound of horse hooves was heard in the ears. When the opponent entered the shooting range, Zhao Zilong gave an order, and thousands of arrows were fired in unison.
The soldiers who came in a hurry did not expect that there would be an ambush here, and they were instantly overturned.
When the arrows were exhausted, Zhao Zilong and his soldiers rushed out, and the two sides collided head-on.
The Longzi Army came over mountains and rivers, hoping to compete with the Rong people. Chang'an City opened the city gate and surrendered, leaving them no chance to fight against the Rong people. Now that they had finally encountered it, how could they give up? Of course, everyone was brave.
, everyone competes for the first place.
The Rong tribe was almost defeated in one blow. The moment the two sides came into contact, they immediately turned around and fled backwards.
Soon, it disappeared without a trace.
After the victory, everyone in the Longzi Army looked excited.
"I didn't expect the Rong clan's bastards to be so weak. How bad should the Imperial Army be?"
"General, let's take advantage of the victory and pursue it, catch all the enemies in one fell swoop, and win the battle."
Zhao Zilong frowned. Of course he was not afraid of the Rong clan, but such an easy victory was beyond his expectation.
Zhao Zilong jumped off his horse and began to examine the hoof prints on the ground. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the direction in which the Rong tribe was retreating, with a confused look on his face.
The retreating horses' hooves were not disordered. Recalling the scene just now, the Rong clan did not actually suffer too many casualties. That was a feigned defeat. Since it was a feigned defeat, it must have led to their own involvement.
Zhao Zilong can figure out these things, but what he really can't figure out is: What kind of situation has the Rong clan laid?
Temporarily suppressing his curiosity, Zhao Zilong ordered the withdrawal of troops.
Although everyone was eager to win, they did not dare to disobey Zhao Zilong's orders. After cleaning the battlefield, the Long Zijun got on their horses and began to move forward.
Zhao Zilong deliberately slowed down his march. He did not choose to pursue, but it did not mean that he gave up the fighting opportunity. It was just that he could not rush to send troops before he could figure out the enemy's overall situation.
The Rong people withdrew all the way from the five-mile land and gradually slowed down.
"Report, the enemy doesn't seem to be chasing us."
The commander of this army is named Hongye. He is only 22 years old and was recently promoted by Nohara Hui.
In fact, this battle was more complicated than Zhao Zilong thought. Ye Yuanhuo was eager to kill Cheng Dalei, even at any cost.
Hongye leads an army of six thousand, and their mission is not to annihilate the enemy, but to hold them back. They are just the advance troops, and a large army will arrive later to encircle and kill them.
However, things did not develop according to the pre-planned plan. Unexpectedly, Cheng Dalei was so confident that he only sent 3,000 Longzi troops to stop him in the face of 6,000 soldiers. Zhao Zilong was not deceived by the opponent's feint of defeat, and chose to
Static braking, adapt to changes.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and what is tested is the commander's reaction in battle.
Things went beyond Hongye's plan. He frowned and thought for a moment before choosing to pursue again.
Nohara Huo issued an order to eliminate Cheng Dalei at all costs and consequences, so that he could not leave Liangzhou alive. Currently, there are still large armies on their way, and Hongye's mission is only to hold back Cheng Dalei's troops.
The soldiers hurried on their way and chased him for more than twenty miles at a stretch. Suddenly, they heard loud shouts of killing in the dense forests on both sides.
Ambush, another ambush.
Zhao Zilong once again led his army to kill. Hongye did not expect that the enemy would be so cunning. After one ambush, there was a second ambush. But this time he was not in a hurry to escape. It was obvious that the enemy had seen through his own intentions, and escaping might not be possible.
Can lure enemies into taking the bait.
It would be better to fight for a while. There are not many enemies. With the bravery of the Rong tribe, they may not be able to annihilate them all.
However, things went wrong again. He chose to actively resist the enemy, but Zhao Zilong chose to retreat and leave the battlefield after taking advantage of the ambush.
"General, are you pursuing me?" his subordinate asked.
"Chasing..." Hong Yi paused. Zhao Zilong's two ambushes really left a psychological shadow on him: "First send scouts to explore the road ahead, be careful of enemy ambush."
No wonder the enemy is so cunning that he tells himself to be careful of outsiders. Only after fighting in person can one realize how shameless the enemy is.
Facing such an enemy, I had to be cautious.
It has to be said that the Rong people are very good at learning from battles, but the enemies they fought against before were too weak, which made their fighting methods simpler. Once they encountered a difficult enemy, they quickly
Can adapt to the enemy's combat rhythm.
When Zhao Zilong learned that the opponent was not in a hurry to pursue him, he also slowed down his marching speed. Now that he was still more than ten days away from Liangzhou, Zhao Zilong was not in a hurry and had time to circle around the enemy.
While marching, Zhao Zilong was also speculating on the enemy's intentions. The enemy could fight but didn't fight, and even if he didn't fight, he took the initiative to come to his door. It was obvious that he wanted to support him.
Why does the enemy support him? The answer is already obvious.
More enemies will arrive.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zilong became obviously excited. He just felt that there were not enough soldiers to sharpen his own guns, so someone just happened to come to his door.
With Zhao Zilong's current strength, it is not impossible to annihilate Hongye's team, but even if they can win, their own side will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Victory is not the only pursuit on the battlefield. How to achieve the maximum effect at the minimum cost is what the generals of the two armies need to consider.
Zhao Zilong temporarily kept a close distance from the enemy, and sent someone to report the news to Cheng Dalei. Although he wanted to defeat the Rong clan on his own, the situation between the enemy and ourselves was unclear, and Zhao Zilong did not want the dragon he had worked so hard to cultivate.
Zijun adventure.
The messenger scouts rushed to deliver the news to Cheng Dalei.
After learning about the current situation, Cheng Dalei thought carefully and ordered Zhao Zilong not to be reluctant to fight. He accelerated the march and joined the large army. It was better for everyone to rush back to Liangzhou first.
At present, it is unclear whether the enemy's strength is real or not. If you send out troops rashly, you will easily fall into the enemy's trap. What's more, the overall situation in Jingzhou has been decided. One or two victories and the elimination of thousands or tens of thousands of enemies will not change the current situation in Jingzhou.
situation.
After receiving Cheng Dalei's order, although Zhao Zilong felt a little regretful, he also accelerated his march and wanted to join Cheng Dalei first.
The red leaves behind Zhao Zilong also quickened his pace. If he were to fight Zhao Zilong now, he might not have the courage. He could only try to keep a distance that was neither far nor close.
During this process, soldiers gradually arrived and joined Hong Ye's team. This was the reinforcement Hong Ye had been waiting for. There were more and more soldiers, reaching 50,000.
In any case, Hongye had completed his mission and did not let Cheng Dalei leave Jingzhou before reinforcements arrived.
