Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 567 Bait

At dusk in summer, the setting sun is like blood, the south wind blows to the north, and the green grass rises and falls in the wilderness.

Suddenly, a few birds in the grass flew into the sky.

The shaking earth made them restless, and the three black and red formations in the north slowly advanced forward.

Maojin Ferry is the key point between the north and the south, and its geographical location is so important. Anyone who has led a military knows that this place is a battleground for military strategists.

The three Liangjun infantry formations were in the shape of a pin, with heavy armor and a large shield at the front, and the two formations on the left and right holding bows and spears, relying on each other, clearly forming a battle formation.

If any array is attacked, the other two arrays will rush to the rescue one after the other.

Maojin Ferry is not big, just a crossing of two to three hundred steps. It is named because the Yellow River is gentle here and the white grass and green reeds are lush nearby.

Deng Qiang looked at Liang Jun who was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but frowned. It was not easy to annihilate this black cloud elite. They seemed to know that there must be an ambush here, and they wanted to forcefully cross the river!

Boom, boom, boom...

The closer they get to the ferry, the faster the Black Cloud Army moves.

The Qin army had an arrow on the string and had no choice but to fire it.

In fact, this was the last chance that Deng Qiang could get. Although Fuya in the north had captured the Hetao and reached Dingxiang and looked east to Taiyuan, he did not dare to go further.

To the south, Xu Chengjian's walls were clear, and Fu Jian's [-]-strong army could not move forward.

Di Qin would definitely not be able to bear this consumption.

Once this Liang army crossed the Yellow River and entered Shaanxi City, Deng Qiang had no chance, and the war could be declared over in advance.

Deng Qiang drew out his long sword, pointed it at the Qin army, looked at the majestic light, and shouted: "Get up!"

In the life of "O", more than a thousand iron cavalry suddenly appeared among the reeds. The sharp spears and dark brown armor were painted with a layer of blood red by the setting sun.

Deng Qiang got on his horse, holding a sword in his left hand and a spear in his right hand, "Kill!"

The warhorse man stood up, looked up to the sky and hissed, and then shot out like an arrow.

The cavalry stepped on the thatched reeds and rushed out together.

More infantrymen burst out from the reeds and swarmed towards the Black Cloud Army.

It is as fast as wind, as slow as forest, as plundering as fire, as motionless as mountain, as unpredictable as shadow, and as moving as thunder!
The Qin army, which was more than double the number, surrounded these four thousand black cloud elites in three directions.

Deng Qiang did what he said, he must make sure that his armor never returns, destroy the arrogance of the Black Cloud Army, and hurt Liang Guo!
However, after the Heiyun Army was slightly panicked, they quickly calmed down and moved a few hundred steps to the west, occupying a small mound with a large shield in front, spears on the left and right, and crossbows in the middle and three steps behind. The formations merge into one place.

Several feather arrows were thrown into the sky and landed dozens of steps in front of Deng Qiang's horse.

From discovering the ambush, to making adjustments, to moving to high ground, it only took half an hour.

The infantry formation did not panic, and the cavalry lost its advantage. Although the mound was only a few feet high, the dense mass of spears made people's scalp numb.

"Uh-" Deng Qiang reined in his horse, his eyes filled with fighting intent.

More than a thousand cavalrymen also slowly stopped.

The infantry stepped forward quickly, raising the large shield. As soon as it passed a few arrows on the ground, a dense rain of arrows fell from the sky.

The Qin army huddled behind their shields. Occasionally, a few people screamed and were shot to the ground, but no one slowed down.

These two troops are basically the two strongest armies in Kanto and Kansai.

The [-]-strong army under Wang Meng's command was not the orthodox Heiyun elite, but a new army recruited from Yuzhou. Compared with the Heiyun army, its will, combat power, and experience were still inferior.

This is also a major reason why Wang Meng chose to stick to Taiyuan.

The two armies soon engaged in battle.

The Qin army relied on more than twice the force to encircle and kill from the east and west. The small mounds could not form a decisive advantage.

In addition to guarding against the soldiers of the Qin Army in the front, the Black Cloud Army also had to guard against the more than a thousand fine cavalry that circled behind.

Even so, the Heiyun Army still resisted tenaciously and suppressed the Qin Army in the east, killing many people.

The setting sun fell into the Western Mountains, and the earth was shrouded in twilight.

Four thousand Heiyun troops and nearly nine thousand Qin troops laid an ambush in advance, but they still failed to capture them. Deng Qiang's eyes swept across the battlefield. These people were like tireless iron beasts, immersed in fighting and taking killing as pleasure.

With the sound of the trumpet, they fought and retreated towards Anyi.Deng Qiang raised his eyes and looked north. The land in the north was dark, and the huge mountain shadows in the distance were pressing on the ground. "Will Anyi send troops?"

Several scouts rushed over and said, "Anyi Liang Jun is standing still."

The only people nearby who could provide support were the Weishan tribe in Anyi, and even if the troops from other cities came, they would not be of much use.

"Send the order, use all the ambush troops in Henan to annihilate this black cloud army with all your strength!" Deng Qiang could not afford to wait, nor could he wait any longer.

Every time he hesitates for a breath, more troops will fall in a pool of blood. Although Liang Jun also suffered heavy casualties, according to the current trend, after the black cloud elite is eliminated, Deng Qiang's troops will also suffer all casualties.

The ambush was divided into two parts.

One is in the reeds of Hebei, and the other is in the dense forest of Henan.

The purpose is to wipe out the Weishan tribe in Anyi and realize the pre-war plan of severely damaging the Heiyun Army.

But plans can never keep up with change.

The tenacity of the Heiyun elite exceeded Deng Qiang's expectations.

"No wonder he was able to sweep across Guandong in less than ten years and become invincible in the world. However, there is no way he can escape from his hands today!" Deng Qiang raised his long spear.

The fierce battle has been going on for an hour and a half, and even though the Black Cloud Army is made of iron, it is already exhausted.

And Deng Qiang's cavalry recuperated their strength.

The ambush troops from the south gradually crossed the river and surrounded them. There were nearly fifteen thousand people, and they gradually surrounded the Heiyun Army in the center of Gaixin.

Dense torches illuminate the battlefield.

Deng Qiang jumped forward on his horse and looked at the Heiyun soldiers who were as fierce as wolves. He didn't even think about persuading him to surrender.

However, just as they were preparing for the final blow, fire suddenly broke out in the northwest, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

The Qin army was startled and looked north, only to see a long wave of fire sweeping across the dark earth.

This movement must have involved at least ten thousand people.

"Is it Anyi's reinforcements?" Deng Qiang was not surprised but overjoyed.

This ambush was prepared for them.

"It's not Anyi... reinforcements." The scout trembled.

"Is that Taiyuan reinforcements?" Deng Qiang could still accept it. If Wang Meng sent 1 troops to support Hedong, Taiyuan would be empty of troops, which would give Fu Ya, Tuoba Shi Yijian, Liu Weichen and Fu Fei a chance.

No wonder Liang Jun wanted to hunt down his own scouts in order to cover up the traces of this army.

"No, it's not..." The scout couldn't speak clearly.

Deng Qiang was stunned. What he feared most was not how elite the enemy army was, but rather not knowing where the enemy was coming from.

Hedong can be said to be big or small, with many powerful people and various tribes. It can be said to be small or small. It is sandwiched between the east and west tectonic plates.

In just a few words, the roar of the fire flow from west to east became louder and louder, and the momentum became more and more powerful. It seemed that there were not only 1 people, but [-] or [-]...

"Hmph, it's just a trick to trick the enemy!" Deng Qiang snorted coldly, seeing through the opponent's thoughts.

But at this moment, a cavalry group suddenly ran out from the southwest, firing at a gallop, and the rear ranks were in panic.

Deng Qiang's cavalry was not many. He only had more than a thousand fine cavalry around him, and the rest were infantry.

After the enemy cavalry fired for a while, they escaped into the night again.

Now, even if he knew that the enemy was planning to use suspicion, Deng Qiang did not dare to move.

Firstly, they couldn't figure out where the opponent was coming from, secondly, they didn't know what ambush was ahead, and thirdly, they had been fighting fiercely for several hours and were already exhausted.

Deng Qiang looked at the cavalry that was disappearing and appearing in the night. He saw some clues and his expression changed, "It turns out...it's them. No wonder, no wonder!"

"General!" Several generals looked at him helplessly.

Deng Qiang glanced at the more than [-] black cloud troops surrounding Gaixin. Their heavy armor was stained with blood, as if they were injured tigers. They became even more ferocious and manic, as if they were going to die with the enemy. "Retreat!"
