It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 887

Zhao Zilong brought three thousand dragon characters and attacked the chasing soldiers.

Choose a narrow place to ambush, and the army hides on both sides of the road. It didn't take long before I heard the rapid sound of hoofs. When the opponent entered the range, Zhao Zilong gave an order, and all arrows were fired at once.

The Rong soldiers who came in a hurry did not expect that there would be an ambush here, and in an instant it was the end of the crowd.

When the arrows were exhausted, Zhao Zilong rushed out with his soldiers, and the two sides collided head-on.

The Dragon Character Army came from the mountains and rivers, thinking of fighting with the Rong people. Chang'an City opened its gates and surrendered, leaving them no chance to fight against the Rong tribe. At this moment, we finally meet, how can we be willing to give up, of course, everyone is brave, and everyone competes for the first place.

The Rong tribe almost collapsed with a single blow, and immediately turned around and fled back the moment they made contact.

Soon, it disappeared without a trace.

After the victory, the Dragon Character Army looked excited.

"I didn't expect the bastards of the Rong tribe to be so weak. How bad should the imperial army be?"

"General, we are just chasing after the victory, sweeping away the enemy and winning the battle."

Zhao Zilong frowned, of course he was not afraid of the Rong clan, but such an easy victory was beyond his expectations.

Zhao Zilong jumped off the horse and began to check the hoof prints on the ground. After a while, he raised his head and looked confused at the direction of the retreat of the Rong tribe.

The hoofs of the horses retreating were not chaotic, recalling the scene just now, the Rong tribe actually did not suffer too many casualties. That is a feint, and since it is a feint, it must be brought into the game.

These Zhao Zilong can understand, what he really can't understand is: what kind of game has the Rong clan set up?

Temporarily suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Zhao Zilong ordered the army to withdraw.

Although everyone was eager to win, they did not dare to disobey Zhao Zilong's orders. After sweeping the battlefield, the Dragon Army climbed on horseback and began to rush forward.

Zhao Zilong deliberately slowed down his marching speed, and he did not choose to pursue, which did not mean that he gave up this fighting opportunity. It's just that he can't rashly send troops without having a clear picture of the enemy's overall situation.

The Rong clan retreated all the way to Wuli, and gradually slowed down.

"Report, the enemy doesn't seem to be chasing after him."

The commander of this army is named Hongye, who is only 22 years old this year, and was recently promoted by Ye Yuanhuo.

In fact, this battle was more complicated than Zhao Zilong thought. Ye Yuanhuo wanted to kill Cheng Dalei urgently, even at any cost.

Hongye leads six thousand troops, and the task is not to annihilate the enemy, but to hold the enemy. They are just the first troops, and then the army arrives, and then implements the siege.

However, things did not go as planned. Who would have thought that Cheng Dalei would be so supportive, facing six thousand soldiers, only three thousand dragon characters were sent to block it. And Zhao Zilong was not deceived by the other party's feint, and chose to use static braking and adapt to the situation.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the test is the commander's reaction.

The matter was beyond the Hongye plan, he frowned and thought about it, and chose to pursue it again.

Ye Yuanhuo's order to eliminate Cheng Dalei at all costs and reckless consequences would not allow him to leave Liangzhou alive. At present, there is still a large army on the way, and Hongye's task is only to hold off Cheng Dalei's troops.

The Rong soldiers rushed on their way in a hurry and chased for more than twenty miles in one breath, when suddenly they heard the screams of killing in the dense forest on both sides.

Ambush, ambush again.

Zhao Zilong led the army to kill again. 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 already seen through his intentions, and escaping might not necessarily attract the enemy to the bait.

It is better to fight happily for a while, the number of enemies is small, and with the bravery of the Rong family, it may not be impossible to completely wipe out the enemy.

However, things went awry again. He chose to take the initiative to resist the enemy, but Zhao Zilong chose to retreat and leave the battlefield after taking advantage of the ambush.

"General, are you chasing?" the subordinate asked.

"Chasing..." Hongyi paused, Zhao Zilong's two ambushes really left him with a psychological shadow: "First send scouts to explore the road ahead, be careful of the enemy's ambush."

No wonder the enemy was so cunning and told himself to be careful of outsiders. After fighting in person, you will know the shamelessness of the enemy.

Faced with such an enemy, he had to be cautious.

I have to say that the Rongs are very good at learning from battles, but the enemies they fought against before were too weak, which made their way of fighting easier. Once they encounter a tough enemy, they quickly adapt to the rhythm of the enemy's battle.

When Zhao Zilong learned that the other party was not in a hurry to catch up, he also slowed down the marching speed. There are still more than ten days away from Liangzhou, and Zhao Zilong is not in a hurry. He has time to circle the enemy.

While marching, Zhao Zilong was also speculating on the enemy's intentions. The opponent can fight but doesn't fight, and if he doesn't fight but takes the initiative to come to the door, it is obvious that he wants to support himself.

What is the enemy holding himself up for? The answer is already on the horizon.

More enemies will arrive.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zilong was obviously excited. He only felt that there were not enough soldiers in the army, not enough to sharpen his guns, and someone just happened to bring them to the door.

With the current strength of Zhao Zilong, it is not impossible for the team to completely wipe out Hongye, but even if they can win, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Victory is not the only demand on the battlefield. How to achieve the greatest effect at the least cost is what the generals of the two armies need to consider.

Zhao Zilong temporarily kept a short distance from the enemy, and sent someone to report the news to Cheng Dalei. Although he really wanted to defeat the Rong clan by himself, but now the situation of the enemy and us is unclear, Zhao Zilong is not willing to take risks with the dragon character army that he has worked so hard to cultivate.

The summoning scout hurriedly sent the news to Cheng Dalei.

After learning about the current situation, Cheng Dalei, after careful consideration, ordered Zhao Zilong not to fight. Speed ​​up the march and join up with the big troops. It is important for everyone to rush back to Liangzhou first.

At present, it is not clear whether the enemy's army is real or not, and it is easy to fall into the enemy's trap. What's more, the overall situation here in Jingzhou has been decided. One or two victories will destroy the enemy's thousands of people, and tens of thousands of people will not change the current situation in Jingzhou.

After receiving Cheng Dalei's order, Zhao Zilong, although somewhat regretful, also accelerated his marching speed and wanted to join Cheng Dalei first.

The red leaves behind Zhao Zilong also speeded up his pace. If he were to fight Zhao Zilong now, he might not have the courage. Just try to keep a close distance.

During this process, soldiers gradually arrived and joined the team led by Hongye. This is the reinforcement that Hongye has been waiting for, and the number of people is increasing, reaching 50,000.

In any case, Hongye completed the task and did not let Cheng Dalei leave Jingzhou before the reinforcements arrived.
