Chapter 309: Destroying the Enemy Army
After hearing that the scouts reported that the Wei army under Bidao City had withdrawn, Guliza only sent a dozen cavalry back to the city to report the news, while he led a large group of cavalry to catch up, vowing to entangle the Wei army to delay the attack.
"Report to the captain, a large group of Wei cavalry appeared in front." Guliza rode in front of the team, and suddenly a scout came back to report.
Guliza knew that the Wei army was coming to block him and did not want to fight with him, so he immediately led his troops to go around the path on the left. Not long after walking, he saw a large group of Wei troops appearing on the road in front of him. He did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to kill them.
Go up.
"Quick, line up to meet the enemy, line up to meet the enemy."
Li Mai and Jia Chun did not expect that the army would be overtaken by the Han cavalry, and immediately ordered the army to get into position. Although Guliza and the others arrived quickly, these Wei troops were used to fighting with the Qiang and Hu, and their experience in battle was extremely high.
Rich.
At first, there was a lot of chaos caused by the Han army's charge, but soon the Wei army reacted and fought back with bows and crossbows while forming their formations.
Guliza only wanted to hold back the enemy. When he saw that the Wei army's formation was complete, he did not forcefully charge into the formation. He only led the sergeants to run around the enemy's formation, and occasionally stepped forward to take a bite when he saw a flaw.
"Master Fu, the Shu army is so cunning. They are delaying time." Li Mai quickly understood Guliza's plan and said angrily.
Jia Chun also gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, they want to wait for the large group of people to arrive and eat us in one bite. Damn it, why hasn't Cai Du come back yet?"
Cai Du was the general who had just led the cavalry to stop the Han army under Jia Chun's military order. Not long ago, he discovered that the Han army's cavalry had bypassed them through a small road, and immediately led his army to speed back.
"It should be soon." Li Mai pointed at his cavalry in the distance and shouted happily: "Look, they are back."
Seeing that the Wei cavalry had come back, Guliza quickly led his troops to retreat to the southeast.
"There is no need to chase. You can lead the five hundred cavalry to break up the rear, and I will lead the rest of the cavalry to guard on the right." Jia Chun recalled Cai Du, who was about to pursue the Han army, and ordered him.
Jia Chun said to Li Mai again: "Please join the army and take charge of the central army."
"The master's plan is very clever. In this way, the Shu cavalry will not be a concern, and the army can speed up the pace." Li Mai praised.
Soon the Wei army made arrangements and set off towards Jincheng. Seeing that the Wei army's cavalry was protecting the formation, Guliza did not dare to step forward rashly. Moreover, the sergeant was very tired from running for a while, and he was not familiar with the coordination with his mount, so he was unable to move forward.
Harassment.
They had no choice but to follow the Wei army from a distance, occasionally rushing up to scare them, and trying their best to slow down the Wei army's pace.
"Now we can only watch Badi and the others." Guliza immediately stood on the hillside and looked at the Wei army in the distance and thought to himself.
On the steep mountain road, Badi and others followed the guide they found and walked quickly. The guide was originally a mountain man here and was used to walking on the mountain road, but after all, he was not as good as Badi and the Qiang soldiers. After running for a long time, Badi was already out of breath.
He had no choice but to order two sergeants to carry him and lead the way.
"Brother Jiang, how far is it from the Jincheng County boundary?" Badi ordered the army to stop for a while and asked the guide surnamed Jiang.
The guide surnamed Jiang looked around and replied: "General, it's about a hundred and thirty miles away."
"One hundred and thirty miles... It's about two hundred miles from Pidao to Jincheng County. It's been more than half a day now. Even if the Wei army sets off at the same time as a certain person, it's impossible to go seventy miles at this moment. It seems that
We should have run ahead of the Wei army." Buddy thought to himself.
After thinking clearly, he immediately ordered the army to walk out of the mountains and down the official road. He asked the nearby people and found out that no large group of Wei troops had passed by in the past half day, so he found a dangerous place to ambush on both sides of the official road and waited for the arrival of the Wei army.
More than an hour later, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the south of the official road, which suddenly woke up Buddy who was taking a nap. He quickly ordered the troops to be on guard, secretly thinking that the Wei army should have arrived.
A sentinel came back and reported: "Captain, a large group of Wei troops has appeared in the south. There are about two thousand people. The banner at the front of the group is Jincheng Prefect Jia."
"Okay, it is indeed them." Buddy shouted: "Send the troops to prepare to fight."
Jia Chun was leading the cavalry in front of the team at this moment. Not long ago, he led the cavalry to bite the Han cavalry that came to harass, and fought fiercely. The Han army suffered heavy losses, and he got rid of the Han cavalry.
entanglement, so now he has changed his formation.
"The army has marched twice as many times and has traveled seventy or eighty miles. The cavalry can still bear it, but the infantry may not be able to hold on anymore. Now that the sky is getting dark, it's time to find a place to rest." Jia Chun told the army.
Li Mai, who rushed over from the middle of the column, said.
Li Mai nodded and said: "What Mr. Fu said is absolutely true. We have got rid of the Shu army's cavalry. If we rest for two hours, we should be safe."
"Yes. I remember that there is a very dangerous location not far ahead. Even if the Shu army is chasing me, I will not be afraid of setting up camp there. It just allows the army to rest and recuperate with peace of mind." Jia Chun said.
Li Mai smiled and said: "That's very good. I won't hide it from you, but I am too tired."
"Haha, I'll just wait..."
Before Jia Chun finished speaking, a scout came to report that there was a huge boulder blocking the road ahead.
"The road is blocked?"
Jia Chun and Li Mai looked at each other, clapped their horses and stepped forward to take a look. Sure enough, they saw a mixture of boulders and trees dozens of steps away blocking the official road. This was naturally the work of Buddy and the others, and only in this way can it be called a real obstruction.
return route.
"No, there is an ambush, the troops should retreat quickly!" Seeing that it was a man-made incident, Jia Chun and Li Mai immediately reacted and shouted loudly.
Suddenly they heard the sound of drums and horns, and ambush troops appeared on the hillsides on both sides of the official road. The Wei army saw that it was the Han army.
"Fire the arrow!"
Badi waved his flag, and arrows rained down suddenly. Wei soldiers were unable to dodge and fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.
Jia Chun and Li Mai were protected by their personal guards in time and did not suffer any harm. They quickly sent orders to form a defensive formation. However, the Wei soldiers were already exhausted and were distracted by the sudden attack. The cavalry and infantry became confused.
A group, without any structure.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fortunately, Li Mai immediately killed several people in a row to stop the chaos around him, and gathered hundreds of sergeants to form a circular formation and hold up their shields to resist the Han army's arrow rain.
"Master Fu, this can't go on like this. We must fight back and attack the top of the mountain to have any chance of survival." Li Mai shouted.
Jia Chun said: "Okay. Send the order to all the troops to attack the mountain and fight with the Shu soldiers!"
Just hearing the trumpet blowing continuously, many Wei troops immediately obeyed the order after hearing the counterattack order. Even the cavalry, many people abandoned their mounts and participated in the infantry battle.
Jia Chun and Li Mai led the gathered hundreds of people and rushed towards the hillside on the left. This boosted the morale of the Wei army, and more than a thousand Wei soldiers rushed towards the mountain risking their lives.
When Badi saw the Wei army rushing up the mountain without fear of arrows, he was inspired to be brave. He pulled out his sword and shouted loudly: "All the troops will fight with me."
After resting and recuperating, the Han army regained its energy, and the battle situation was favorable to itself, so its morale was high, and they all charged down the mountain like tigers.
As soon as they engaged in the battle, the Wei army was killed and retreated continuously. However, both Li Mai and Jia Chun knew that only by occupying the top of the mountain would they have a chance of survival, so they went up to kill them with their own swords. All the Wei soldiers fought for their lives when they saw their superiors.
He gritted his teeth and persisted, fighting with all his strength.
Suddenly, the sound of rapid horse hoofbeats came from the south, and a large flag with Chinese characters appeared in front of everyone. It was Guliza who led the cavalry and arrived.
When the Wei army saw reinforcements coming from the Han army, the morale they had barely maintained could no longer be maintained. They fled in all directions, panicking. Even Li Mai and Jia Chun knew that the situation was over, so they had to abandon the army and lead their guards to flee in the direction of a small number of people.
.
The Han army attacked from all sides, chasing them to the north, but only killed the Wei army corpses all over the field, and blood flowed into rivers. By the time Yang Qing and his men arrived in the evening, the battle was over, and most of the Wei army had been wiped out, except for Jia Chun and Li Mai.
Hundreds of people fled back to Jincheng County over mountains and ridges.
"It's a pity that Jia Chun and Li Mai are gone." Buddy sighed.
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Haha, it doesn't matter. Today is a great victory. It's just right to leave them back to report the news. I think Xu Miao will never dare to send troops easily again after knowing about it. The enemies of Liangzhou can ignore it for the time being."
"Your Majesty, the battlefield has been cleaned." At this time, Guliza came over and reported.
