When the barbarian army calmed down, they had already retreated several miles. There were three to four hundred soldiers killed by the stones thrown by the catapult, which surprised and annoyed the barbarian army.

Although there was no confrontation with any soldier of the Northwest Army, six to seven hundred people were killed or injured under such circumstances, which is of course a big blow.

The cold wind was like a knife, and Ibrahimovic's face was ashen.

When the troops were dispatched, they thought it would be an easy battle even if it wasn't a massacre, but the reality was far beyond everyone's expectations.

"The people in the Central Plains are really cunning." A general paled, "They used trenches to prevent us from approaching, and used catapults to attack us. Do we just watch them tease us like this?"

"Ibrahimovic, we already know the location of the trench, don't think too much, let's just cross the trench and rush to their camp." Another grumpy general said in a deep voice, "No matter how much we pay, we will To let these southern barbarians know how powerful we are, as long as we rush over, their catapults will have no effect at all, and those southern barbarians can only become our ghosts."

Ibrahimovic was sullen. He didn't answer, but looked at the mountains in the distance. The herringbone-shaped mountains were very conspicuous under the sky. After a moment of contemplation, Ibrahimovic finally raised his hand and pointed his horsewhip forward, "Look there, The two mountain ranges are separated outwards, and there are at least ten miles to the left and right. Did the Northwest Army dig such a long trench in front?"

"what do you mean?"

"We were negligent before and fell into their trap, because they probably guessed that we were going to attack directly from the front." Ibrahimovic said with a cold face: "I don't believe there will be such a long trench in front, if I don't Guess wrong, there is likely to be a gap in the direction of the two wings, and it is not necessary to attack from the front to rush to their camp, we can go around to the two wings and launch an attack from both sides."

"Whether there is a trench or not, it's better to send someone to find out first." The man next to him said.

Ibrahimovic nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "As long as there are roads on both sides, we can form a row of five and rush over in a long line. Even if there is a trap in front, we don't rush forward, and the loss will be very small. As long as we are If they rush to the camp, they will be helpless."

The others also nodded.

Ibrahimovic did things very simply, without any delay, and immediately sent cavalry to go around to both sides to investigate, and it didn't take long for the cavalry to return immediately.

"How's the situation?" Ibrahimovic couldn't wait.

The cavalry reported: "We went around to the foot of the mountain and followed the foot of the mountain to the Northwest Army Camp. There were no traps."

There was brilliance in Ibrahimovic's eyes, and he clapped his hands happily and said, "I knew it was impossible for the Northwest Army to dig such a long trench. We marched day and night, and they knew our whereabouts, it must be because of the rangers they sent out halfway. They found our trail, so they knew we were coming, but they were short on time, and they didn't have much time to dig trenches."

Hearing Ibrahimovic's analysis, everyone nodded, thinking that Ibrahimovic had contact with the Northwest Army, and it seems that Ibrahimovic is the one who knows the Northwest Army best.

"In that case, let's divide up our forces and go around from both sides." A general immediately suggested.

Ibrahimovic looked at the Northwest Army camp in the distance, shook his head and said, "No hurry, since we want to wipe them all out, we should be patient." Having said that, he raised his head and looked towards the sky.

"Patience?" Someone wondered: "What does this mean?"

Ibrahimovic said softly: "People in the Central Plains are full of tricks, we also want to let them know our resourcefulness. Let's not rush to attack now, after dark, let's send two soldiers and horses to go around from the left and right sides, They must be watching us now, so we let them watch. When the troops are divided at night, we still leave some soldiers and horses here to confuse them, making them think that we are helpless. Defenseless."

Everyone immediately understood what Ibrahimovic meant, and nodded their heads, thinking that Ibrahimovic should be the commander of this army. Sure enough, they did not choose the wrong person. Since the Central Plains people can use tricks, we can naturally be confused.

Immediately, Ibrahimovic ordered the entire army to rest in place, but still sent a small number of rangers to cruise around, in case the Northwest Army suddenly rushed out of the camp.

Fortunately, the Northwest Army seems to know that it is invincible, and there has been no movement in the Northwest Army camp.

After dark, Ibrahimovic then divided his troops into three groups, leaving some soldiers and horses still in place as a cover, and in addition, he divided two groups of soldiers and horses to go around left and right. In order not to let the Northwest Army find out, Ibrahimovic even He didn't hesitate to widen the distance, circled a big circle, and personally led a group of soldiers and horses to go around from the left.

The winter night was cold, and the surroundings were dark. Ibrahimovic led six or seven thousand soldiers and horses to go around the foot of the mountain silently. Just in case, a small number of rangers were sent in front to explore the way, and a large group of people followed behind. Along the way, it was really unimpeded. I walked along the foot of the mountain to the Northwest Army camp, but there was no obstacle at all.

Immediately, Ibrahimovic was in high spirits, and faintly noticed a little fire in front of him. The fire was very sparse. Ibrahimovic knew that there was the camp of the Northwest Army. The battalion rushed forward, thousands of soldiers and horses behind them were like wolves and tigers, rushing swiftly and violently, and the cold sabers were all unsheathed and whirled in the air.

As he approached the camp, he heard the sound of killing from the opposite side. It was the voice of another army. Ibrahimovic cheered up, knowing that the other army had also arrived in time, and shouted loudly: "Children, all Kill the enemy bravely for me, and go back with your head in your hands to ask for credit!" The horse took the lead, and the horse, like lightning, had already rushed to the edge of the camp.

The shouts of barbarian cavalry on both sides shook the mountains, but inside the camp of the Northwest Army, there was a dead silence, and they seemed to have fallen asleep.

Ibrahimovic rushed into the camp with his horse, raised his scimitar, and rushed into a tent first, and was about to raise his knife to kill, but after entering the tent, he found that the tent was empty, and there was no Northwest soldier. Bian frowned, turned his horse's head and got out of the tent. In the night, the camp of the Northwest Army was full of charging barbarian cavalry figures. Many cavalry rushed into the tent, but they couldn't hear any fighting at all. Voices.

"No one, no one in the tent!" Someone yelled loudly, and soon the voice rang out.

"What about people?"

"Where did the Northwest Army go, there is no one in the tent!"

Immediately, Ibrahimovic felt that something was wrong, and rushed to the barracks. Thousands of tents were arranged in a row, but there was no trace of the Northwest Army in the entire camp. Tens of thousands of Northwest troops, just Seems to disappear out of thin air.

Of course, Ibrahimovic did not believe that this was an empty camp. During the day, he watched a dozen Northwest Rangers return to the camp, and there were boulders thrown from the Northwest Camp. , the opponent launched at least dozens of catapults at the same time. When they attacked Wuping Fucheng, the barbarians used catapults. Stone carts require hundreds of people to operate.

However, in the current Northwest Army camp, only the shouts of wild riders can be heard everywhere, but there is no movement of the Northwest Army at all. Ibrahimovic faintly feels that something is wrong, and he seems to have fallen into a trap again.

Tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry rushed over full of anger, and they were all mixed in the Northwest Army camp at this time. They were going to drink the blood of the Northwest Army with their sabers, but when they reached the camp, they found that their enemies had disappeared.

Riding on his horse, Ibrahimovic glanced around, and suddenly raised his head to look at the mountains behind the camp, frowning, wondering if the Northwest Army knew that Manqi would raid the camp tonight, and they all hid in the mountains?Not only was there no trace of soldiers in this big camp, but even supplies such as grain, grass and catapults were missing. If so many supplies and men and horses were all transported to the steep mountain in just one afternoon, it would be a bit inconceivable.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly smelled a strange smell at the tip of his nose. The smell was quite pungent. He had been trying to find the Northwest Army before, but he didn't pay attention to it. Now that he calmed down a little, the smell became more obvious.

Just as he was curious, at this moment, he heard the sound of a rumbling drum. The sound of the drum was extremely sudden. There was a lot of yelling and yelling in the camp, but it was still covered by the low sound of the drum. , Hearing the sound of the drum, Ibrahimovic's whole body shook, his eyes like a bull's eye staring at the gloomy mountain range, he could naturally hear that the sound of the rumbling drums came from the mountain.

With the sound of war drums, Ibrahimovic suddenly discovered that the originally pitch-black sky turned out to be brightly lit in an instant, and the night seemed to turn into daylight in an instant. This sudden change made Ibrahimovic's soul fly away, just because he had seen it clearly. Countless arrows suddenly shot out from the mountain, flying towards the barracks overwhelmingly.

All the arrows were clustered with flames, and the rockets shot out like locusts.

Ibrahimovic felt his hands and feet were cold, and didn't react for a while, just staring blankly at the overwhelming rockets falling from the sky. At this moment, he finally understood that the rather pungent smell was obviously the smell of fuel.

He finally understood that the tricks of the Northwest Army were one move after another.

Killing hundreds of cavalry by using trenches and pits was just a small prelude. The distance dug into the trenches was the easiest distance for a catapult to hit, so the barbarian army lost soldiers and generals.

But all that was just an appetizer. When Ibrahimovic was thankful that the Northwest Army didn't have time to dig too long trenches and pits, and sneaked around the foot of the mountain from both sides, this was the real trap set by Chu Huan. It is now certain that the Manqi can successfully detour and rush to the Northwest Army camp, which is exactly what Chu Huan wants to see. This camp is part of the trap.

He's not stupid, but at this critical moment, his mind has become brighter than ever.

Now he finally understands that the Northwest Army camp has been silent all the time, just because the Northwest Army brigade has already ambushed on the mountain. Stone carts, it took half a day to transport dozens of riprap carts to the mountain. For the Northwest Army who was proficient in operating riprap carts, it was naturally not a difficult task.

What Chu Huan left for the barbarians was an empty barracks, and this barracks was originally intended to wait for the barbarians to arrive.

The rockets poured down like locusts. At this time, many barbarian soldiers hadn't understood it. Although they felt that something was wrong, they didn't expect that disaster was imminent. Although the rockets were pouring down like a torrential rain, these barbarians The barbarian cavalry were on the horses, jumping up and down, using their sabers to block the incoming arrows, and some soldiers even pulled out their whips to shoot down the incoming rockets.

Barbarians are aggressive by nature, a whip is as flexible as an arm, and the whip flickers up and down, like a spirit snake, and it seems to be a strange shield. Many people are good at striking arrows with the whip.

It's just that the purpose of the rockets is not to shoot the barbarian soldiers, but to set them on the endless tents.

Although many rockets hit Manqi, more rockets were shot on the tents, and the tents would ignite immediately after touching the fire. In the blink of an eye, a fireball was formed. Countless fireballs ignited ragingly, and many The barbarians didn't expect such a scene at all, they were stunned for a moment, and when they came back to their senses, they found that there were raging fires in all directions.

"Run...!" A rocket shot towards Ibrahimovic, who blocked it with a knife, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley, knowing that a sneak attack tonight was absolutely impossible. The soldiers and horses were afraid that the whole army would be wiped out, so they shouted sharply: "Go, get out of here, they attack with fire...!"

It's just that in the barracks at this moment, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are crowded together in a mess, and the flames are raging in all directions, and many barbarians have lost their direction. Knowing where to go, there are cavalrymen running around everywhere, many cavalrymen even collide with each other and turn their backs, but more people are surrounded by flames and cannot rush out at all.

Ibrahimovic looked around, but also found that he had been wrapped in a sea of ​​flames. Although it was a freezing winter night, the surrounding fires caused the temperature in the air to rise rapidly. The skin of the barbarians was rough. But Shi couldn't bear the high temperature of the fire. Some soldiers were unwilling to be burned alive in the fire. They gritted their teeth and flattered their horses, wanting to rush out of the fire, but they were quickly swallowed by the fire.

On a cold winter night, the screams were endless, heart-piercing, like the desperate howling of a dying beast.

Ibrahimovic rushed to several places in a row, but was blocked by raging fire and couldn't escape. He was anxious and angry. At this moment, he heard a shrill cry: "Stone...!"

Before Ibrahimovic could react, he heard a loud "coaxing" sound from his side. He turned his head to look, only to find a huge boulder falling from the sky, smashing a cavalryman into a pulp in an instant.

Ibrahimovic was desperate to the extreme at this time.

Not only did the opponent set up a flame formation, but they also obviously wanted to drive out the wild cavalry. It seemed that the barbecue was not enough, and the Northwest Army even used the catapults again.

The catapult was launched from the mountain, condescending, and Ibrahimovic knew that since the opponent had carefully calculated the distance of the trench, the stones that were knocked down from the mountain at this time had obviously been calculated long ago.

The wild knights who were already surrounded by the fire were in a state of chaos and trampled on each other. At this time, the huge rocks that fell from the sky made the wild knights even more frightened.

Ibrahimovic knew that if he couldn't get out of the fire, he would definitely die under the double blow of the flame array and the boulder. He didn't care about other people at this time, and he gritted his teeth, but he was desperately breaking through in one direction and broke into the fire During the process, Ibrahimovic felt as if he had broken into hell, and the horse that got off him hissed sadly, but Ibrahimovic closed his eyes and tried his best to move the horse.

Soon, he felt that the clothes on his body were already burning.

Most of the barbarians wear fur battle clothes. Although such clothes are resistant to cold, they are also easily burned by the fire. Many barbarians are ignited by the fire precisely because of the fur clothes on their bodies.

Ibrahimovic felt his skin start to tear like pain, but he closed his eyes tightly and put all his eggs in one basket. After a while, he found that the temperature around him had dropped slightly. When he opened his eyes, he found that a fire had been drilled out of him. There were flames burning all over his body, without further ado, Ibrahimovic jumped off the horse and rolled on the spot, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.

This method is not bad, but the snow on the ground is melting and has not completely melted, but he does not know that the body is burned by the flames, and then stimulated by the ice and snow, the damage to the body is even greater. Extinguish the flames on his body, but the skin on his body is more uncomfortable than being slowly torn by a knife, and his chest is tight, dizzy, and he can't even breathe for a while.

"boom!"

With a sound, a boulder fell close to Ibrahimovic, and Ibrahimovic was heartbroken, knowing that he was still within the attack range of the Northwest Army, he endured the unbearable pain of ordinary people, stood up by force, But he found that his war horse had disappeared, and he was surprised. At this time, without a war horse, he was almost certain to die. He happened to catch a glimpse of a panicked barbarian beside him, and without hesitation, he rushed forward and reached out. He grabbed the soldier, pulled it hard, and pulled the soldier off the horse, then got on the horse, patted the horse and walked away.

There was still a sea of ​​flames all around. Ibrahimovic turned left and right, and there were panicked figures of barbarians everywhere. Although most of the barbarians were trapped in the sea of ​​flames, there were still many barbarians who did not go deep into the camp. Ibrahimovic finally escaped, and when he saw the bewildered Manqi, he shouted loudly: "Run...!" Without further ado, Pegasus left.

Although he was in a panic, Ibrahimovic was not completely confused. He knew that there were still pits and trenches in front of him if he was going east. If he was not careful, he might fall into a trap. Died in the ditch, turned his horse's head and ran south, that was trying to escape along the way he came.

The horse galloped, but Ibrahimovic felt more and more pain in his body. He was a brave barbarian at first, but even he couldn't hold on to the pain. He raised his arm, but found that his hand The sleeves on the top were scorched, revealing the blackened arm. At some point, the flesh on the arm had split open, and the split flesh was spilling out traces of blood.

It's not that Ibrahimovic has no energy for defeat. He was chased and beaten by Feng Yuanpo's Hexi Army on the grassland in the early years, and he was very embarrassed at that time. , Ibrahimovic has never been so embarrassed and desperate as he is now. The previous high spirits have long since disappeared, and his heart is full of panic at this moment.

The horse galloped, and he bumped on the horse's back, his body ached with the bumps, but the pain in his heart made him unbearable.

The [-] army is so powerful. In his vision, he not only wants to wipe out the Northwest Army, but also picks Chu Huan's head on his own blade, and brings it back to show off his power.

But thinking about it now, it's so ridiculous.

Not only did he not kill a Northwest soldier with his own hands, he didn't even see Chu Huan's shadow. The tens of thousands of troops were already in a desperate situation. He didn't know how many people could escape from the camp of the Northwest Army , but he knew that this time it was a complete failure. Even if someone escaped from the flame formation by chance, no one would dare to confront the Northwest Army again.

His body was hot and cold, and Ibrahimovic even wondered if he was going to die soon. He reluctantly turned his head, and there were not many horseshoes behind him. The sparse cavalry is no more than a few hundred at most.

There was a wry smile on his lips, thinking that if he went back like this, Tu Shi Khan would definitely not forgive him lightly. He did not die by the sword of the Northwest Army, and he would still die by Tu Shi Khan's sword when he went back.

Just as he was thinking about joining up with the soldiers and horses staying on the east side of the ditch, he suddenly heard the sound of hoofbeats coming from his face. He looked up, and in the darkness, he found a large group of cavalry rushing towards him. Thunder is coming like thunder and lightning.

Ibrahimovic couldn't help sighing in his heart, knowing that maybe the more than 2000 soldiers who stayed there to confuse the Northwest Army saw the flames here and knew something had happened, so they came for reinforcements.

For this sake, the two thousand reinforcements were useless.

He slowed down his horse slightly, barely raised his hand, and was about to call the oncoming cavalry to stop, but when the opposite cavalry approached, Ibrahimovic found that something was wrong.

The opponent is indeed a wolf-like cavalry, but they are not the fur suits of wild cavalry, they are all armor, like black ghosts suddenly coming from hell.

Although there are some people in the barbarian army wearing armor, but the number is very small, and only the nobles in the tribe can own it. Such a large number of soldiers in front of me have never seen armor in the barbarian army. .

"It's... Northwest cavalry?" Looking at the black cavalry oncoming, Ibrahimovic was both desperate and horrified. He really couldn't understand, didn't all the northwest cavalry go to the grassland? How could there be such a thing? How many northwest cavalry appeared in front of them?

He began to wonder if his eyes were dazzled by the pain, but at this moment, the cavalry on the opposite side had rushed up, and they had already raised their sabers. He fell towards Ibrahimovic without hesitation.
