Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 234 Ambush
In the middle of the night, Niu Gao's cavalry had set off to ambush ten miles away.

In the commander's tent, Wang Xiaolie flipped through the information sent by the detective.He said to Chen Yuyi: "According to what the detectives said, the Jin army's Wanyan Guoying is in the front, Wanyan Bali is in the middle, and the five Yelu horses are behind. Most of the money that the Jin army has robbed is in the rear army, among the five Yelu horse armies. I think In this battle, the weak point of the Jin army is Yelu Mawu who is behind. If he attacks the rear army with elite soldiers, Yelu Mawu will be greatly hindered if he wants to protect the looted money."

Chen Yuyi said: "For defense, the Jin army came from a long distance, and there is no rear. As long as our army guards Jingmen City tightly, and the Jin army cannot advance, it will be defeated. If we can collect the surrounding food and grass, how long can the Jin army stay?" "

Wang Xiaolie said: "That's what I said, but I don't want my army to suffer too much loss, and I'm greedy for the wealth that the Jin army plundered. Naturally, I should arrange it. Consultation, everything is difficult at the beginning. We built a military academy, and we The actual battle to save Shanzhou at the beginning of the year was the time for training troops. At this time, the army that has already formed an army is very precious and cannot bear to lose."

Chen Yuyi couldn't help smiling: "Defense is what you said. If you can send good generals to snatch the money from the Jin army, many things will be easier to do."

The main reason, of course, is that what Wang Xiaolie wanted the most was not military merit, but the wealth brought by the Golden Army.After moving to more than a dozen states, looting and burning everything, the gold army did not know how many gold and silver treasures they had grabbed.If Wang Xiaolie can grab these wealth, he will have start-up capital, and many things can be done easily.Since occupying several states, Wang Xiaolie's finances have been very tight, and he is very thirsty for money.

Seeing that Chen Yuyi agreed with him, Wang Xiaolie said: "It's a pity that the army has only been formed for one year. Although soldiers can fight, good generals are hard to find. The generals who lead the troops now have few battles and lack experience. When it's time to employ people, It's hard to avoid. Besides Niu Gao, who else can take on this job?"

Chen Yuyi thought for a while, and said: "At this time, the defense is the second choice. In the battle of Shanzhou, several generals appeared. Although they still lack actual combat experience, they have to use them as a last resort."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "What the counselor said is true. Many generals were born on the battlefield."

Having said that, it still needs to be considered who is really used and who is not temporarily used.

Pei Man led the way on horseback.Seeing that the villages passing by the road were empty again, he couldn't help cursing: "The southerners have also learned well. Before our army arrives, they will run away! If this continues, food and grass will be worrying!"

The lieutenant next to him, Mu Talu, said: "What's the matter? After setting up the camp, send out a hundred people and go around. Where can these southerners escape from the village? It's just a place where there are few people around."

Pei Mandao: "Speaking of this matter, 30 to [-] scouts sent yesterday did not come back. Could it be that they fell into the trap of the Song Army? I heard that Wang Guan from Xiangyang came to help Jingmen. Wang Guan is not comparable to ordinary people. He saved Shanzhou at the beginning of the year."

Mu Talu said with a smile: "King Lousu has been defeated in Shanzhou many times, but it may not be that Wang Guan has any skills. We have traveled thousands of miles, and we can see a Song general who can fight? If I say, we have arrived at Jingmen City, If you only shoot a few arrows, it might be surrendered. The army will pass safely."

Pei Man nodded: "That's right. Dozens of Song army's cities have been destroyed, and there is not a single Song general who can fight!"

After finishing speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure flashing past on the hill next to him.He said in the mouth: "The southerners in the village must have fled into the mountains! Along the way, I saw people on the top of the mountains several times!"

Mu Talu said: "When we set up camp, send some people to search in the mountains! Let's see where they can escape!"

Yang Jin came down from the hill, got on his horse, and galloped forward.Judging by the speed of the Jin army, it will enter the encirclement of the Song army in less than half an hour.If you want to wipe out the Jin army, you can't be careless.

Niu Gao stood beside the horse, gently wiping his steel knife.As is the custom in Wang Xiaohun's army, light cavalry go to the battlefield with a steel knife, an iron mace, a bow and fifty arrows.The heavy cavalry carried a spear, a knife and an iron mace.The Jin army is generally heavily armored, and iron maces are very important weapons.In most cases, the spears of heavy cavalry only stab once, and then change to iron maces.

He came like running water, reporting the distance of the Jin army from the encirclement.They didn't send scouts, and everything went well.

Until the sun was three shots, the Tanma reported that the Jinjun entered the encirclement.Niu Gao slammed the steel knife into the sheath, and said sharply: "Order the whole army to mount their horses! When the horn sounds, attack according to the order! Anyone who panics and disobeys orders, beheaded!"

The generals promise.The order was passed to the side, and everyone got on their horses one after another.A soldier on the top of the mountain raised the branch in his hand and waved it three times.This is the signal that has been set long ago. When we see it on the opposite mountain, we will attack together.

Pei Man led the army into a valley.Looking at the mountains on both sides, they are very gentle and there are not many trees.He said in his mouth, "After arriving at Jingmen, it is no longer as flat as Jiangling. After passing Jingmen, you will not be far from the Yellow River."

Mu Talu said: "It's been half a year since the army arrived in Jiangnan this time. To be honest, I'm a little tired. The soldiers are very homesick, and they all want to go home early. They have robbed a lot of money, and the family must like it."

At this time, the Jin army had no military salary, and its income depended on looting.A lot of wealth was robbed, and everyone in the army rejoiced.

At this moment, a shrill horn sounded suddenly.With the sound of the horn, the sky suddenly darkened.

On the hillsides on both sides, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out.It seems that there are two to 300 people.One team went around the front, and the other team went around the back, rushing like the wind.The dust kicked up by horseshoes is like a cloud.

Pei Man was taken aback.After seeing the Song army coming, he laughed angrily: "Five or 600 people dare to come to our army! My sons, go and take their heads! Let these Song people know that in front of our army, how dare they attack our army! Like a chicken and a dog!"

Someone next to him made a promise.Then there was a chorus of voices, and in an instant, hundreds of gold troops rushed out of the formation.As these people came out, the Jin army's formation suddenly became chaotic.It's just that Jin Jun didn't realize that there were people shouting and scolding, and some people were laughing there.

Niu Gao raised his horse to the top of the hill and looked at the Jin army below.Due to the march, they did not wear heavy armor, and their formation was chaotic.Gently drew out his own steel knife, loudly said: "Drumming! Kill!"

With an order, the drums suddenly rang.The Song army on the top of the mountain rushed towards the Jin army like a tide.

With the sound of horseshoes and the sound of drums, the ground seemed to tremble.The neat drumbeats are like beating on the heartstrings, and I feel like my heart is about to jump out.

Seeing thousands of Song soldiers rushing towards his central army, Pei Man's face changed drastically.The Song army that appeared earlier had messed up its formation, and now it is impossible to reorganize the team.Looking at the thousands of people in the Song Army, although the overall situation looks chaotic, they are all divided into small teams, with 30 people in each team, which seems to be orderly.

In a few breaths, Niu Gao rushed into the enemy's formation.The steel knife in his hand was like a poisonous snake, stabbing the vital parts of the Jin army.A knife pierced in and was drawn out without any hesitation.Before many Jin Jun could react, they had already been stabbed under the horse.

It is the custom of the Song Army that unless the army is led by a literati, the commander will take the lead in the battle.Many times, the Song army behind the formation watched helplessly as the coach was surrounded by the enemy, but there was nothing he could do.When the commander was killed and captured, the whole army collapsed.Wang Xiaolie hated this deeply, and always wanted to strictly order the general not to come forward during the war.It's just that after actual combat and military training later, it was found that it was impossible for the general not to step forward, but to control the level.According to the establishment of one general and two 3000 people in the Song Army, generals of this level will lead troops to charge and kill in wartime.For larger-scale battles, the coach only needs to command from behind, controlling the direction of the entire battlefield.

Niu Gao is a fierce general.Bringing three thousand cavalry into battle today is naturally at the forefront.

The Song Army squad quickly separated the Jin Army into small battlefields.Every Jin army faced the steel swords of several Song troops.Although most of the Jin soldiers were not afraid of life and death, they were flesh and blood, and soon fell down one by one.

Pei Man and Mu Talu were guarded by their own soldiers, struggling to support them.But when it was time for a cup of tea, most of the soldiers fell down.The two drew out their steel knives and stepped forward to fight the Song army hand-to-hand.

This ambush was like a storm, and in less than half an hour, the battle was basically over.Only a dozen of the fiercest golden soldiers surrounded Pei Man and Mu Talu tightly, where the beasts were still fighting.

Niu Gao gave a loud shout and ordered the besieged Song army to separate.Looking at Pei Man inside, he said: "The winner is already divided, do you still want to fight? Give up your weapons and surrender early, maybe there is still a way out!"

Pei Man said: "You used treacherous tricks to cause confusion in our army, what kind of a hero—"

Niu Gao said impatiently: "You bastards, how many unarmed and civilians have you killed! What heroes are you talking about! If you want to fight, grandpa will accompany you, and I will kill you immediately! If you don't want to fight, give up your weapons and surrender!"

Pei Man raised the steel knife in his hand and pointed it at Niu Gao: "I will fight to the death with you!"

"You deserve it too!" Niu Gao looked at the steel knife in his hand, the blade was already broken, so he pulled it into the scabbard and pulled out the iron mace on his back. "If you don't want to surrender, I will take your dog's life first! Defense order, today is to wipe out your army, so there is no need to keep alive!"

After speaking, he shook his horse violently and rushed forward.

With a loud shout, Pei Man raised his steel knife to meet Niu Gao.

When the two horses met, the iron mace in Niu Gao's hand knocked on Pei Man's steel knife lightly, and took the knife aside.When the body missed, the iron mace in his hand was raised high, and it slammed into Pei Man's back.

With a scream, Pei Man fell off the horse, blood slowly oozing from his mouth.

Pulling back the horse, Niu Gao looked at the remaining Mutalu people, and said with disdain: "There are still those who are not afraid of death, just come up!"

Mutaru was so frightened that he couldn't say a word.Seeing that Mu Talu didn't speak, the rest of the guards wanted to surrender one after another.

Niu Gao ordered his subordinates to hand over the weapons of the remaining golden soldiers, and tied them up with ropes.Turning around to look at the battlefield, I saw corpses everywhere, blood flowing all over the ground.Song Jun was ordered to take Jin Jun's ears, with earrings indicating their identities.This is an important indicator of the Song army's merits.
