Chapter 328: The Ambush of the Captives
Shang Zhengyu followed the captive army all the way, and the ubiquitous feeling of depression made him breathless. He shook his head hard, and the true energy of Xiaoyao Tianlan Sutra in his body was circulating, and immediately recovered his state.
In fact, just looking at the strength of this captive force, there were only more than 20,000 people. Although Shang Zhengyu didn't know how many troops Zheng Pingyi was stationed in Fengxin, since Mu Zheng was confident, he would probably not have less than 10,000 troops. It would be almost impossible to rely on 20,000 people to quickly take Fengxin. Even if their whereabouts are hidden, as long as the time is long, Zheng Pingyi of Langfu will definitely appear abnormal. At that time, it will be a dead end with front and back attacks. The Wolf King and the Tiger King would never have imagined such a result.
But what if it is just to cut off the food route? Shang Zhengyu thought about it and could not find the reason why this enemy troops were difficult at this time. If they had been hiding in the valley and fighting out at a critical moment, they would have caused heavy damage to the Great Wei army. Wouldn't this be much better than being exposed now?
The suppression in Shang Zhengyu's heart surged up again at this moment, making him very upset. What was wrong?
I couldn't think about it because he had seen Feng Xin, who was standing in the mountains and forests in the distance.
The tall and thick city walls, solid walls, archers lined up on them, and rows of waving flags all indicate that Feng Xin is ready to face the attack. It seems that someone from the previous attacked grain transport team came back in advance to report the letter, and Feng Xin's judgment was also correct enough.
Without any hesitation, the chief general of the Hun Army directly issued a new order to attack. All Hun soldiers and ants attached to attack the city, and arrows on the city wall were like rain, and the war suddenly began!
Shang Zhengyu had been embedded not far from the flank of the captives at this moment. Looking at the battlefield filled with smoke in front of him, the warning signs in his heart became stronger. Including the time when the old soldier went back to report the message and dispatched troops, Langfu reinforcements were probably expected to arrive in at most two hours. If it were just such a siege, even if Fengxin only had 5,000 Wei troops, it would be enough to hold on for one day. The attack of the captive army was meaningless at all.
Responding to Shang Zhengyu's doubts, only the horns of the captives and the deafening shouts of killing. Shang Zhengyu shook his head and drove other distracting thoughts out of his mind, and began to observe the battle situation at this moment.
Sure enough, the attack lasted only for an hour and ended with the retreat of the captive side. What he paid for was that he left behind thousands of corpses under Fengxin City.
On the Fengxin City Wall, a bright red flag was combed in the center, with a large word "花" written on it. A middle-aged general wearing fine iron armor stood under the flag. He wore a cloud-patterned battle helmet, with thick black sword eyebrows standing in front of his forehead, and his eyes were burning at the turbulent troops that were retreating like a tide, as if fire was about to spit out from his eyes. His right hand was pressed on the long sword at his waist, and his left hand held the wall. The bright silver arm guard reflected a warm red and yellow under the sunset.
Gan Wu, the guard of Feng Xincheng.
"Hmph, just 20,000 people dare to attack. Once the Marquis' reinforcements arrive, they will die!"
Gan Wu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the main general in the army of tyrants in the distance, like a hunter staring at the prey not far away. The bowstring in his hand had been pulled up, and the deadly sharp arrows would be shot out at any time!
As Shang Zhengyu expected, due to his geographical importance, Zheng Pingyi dispatched 15,000 defenders to guard Fengxin. But what really made Fengxin indestructible was General Gan Wu himself!
He is not only a strategist who is well versed in military tactics, but his internal skills have also reached the artistic conception! However, Gan Wu has never been a person who likes to show off. Except for Zheng Pingyi and a few veteran generals, no one else knows this secret. Even Zheng Pingyi only knew Gan Wu through the veteran general Mu Yuntian after inviting veteran General Mu Yuntian.
Zheng Pingyi was also happy to let Gan Wu hide his true strength in front of everyone. After all, even his army could not guarantee that he was completely pure. No matter which side, as long as the benefits were given enough, those dogs and bastards who could not change their own business and seek honor would run out in time and give them a slap from behind at critical moments.
If you have the Gangwu to add another 15,000 Great Wei defenders, Fengxin is as solid as a god.
"Sir, look, the Hu Army did not leave after retreating."
Gan Wu looked out from afar. As expected, after the strict rectification of the army, the Hu Army did not withdraw its troops, nor showed any sign of attacking again. He just retreated for several miles to confront Fengxing City. This unreasonable action immediately made Gan Wu feel suspicious.
Another hour passed, and these enfeoffed troops showed no sign of retreating.
Are these people afraid that Langfu reinforcements will come and capture them all in one go?
What he has the same mind as Gan Wu is Shang Zhengyu, who is hiding on the flanks to observe the situation of the war.
The feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger, but he didn't know where the source came from. The 20,000 captive troops in front of him were already in the jar, but he still had no feeling of relief.
Shang Zhengyu simply climbed down from the small sand dune he was observing, and his hands slapped his cheeks vigorously, making a crisp sound of slapping. In the slight stinging pain from his skin, Shang Zhengyu sorted out all the things he had made bit by bit.
The grain transport team was ambushed... Mu Zheng and he dispersed the cavalry... He used this to appear the infiltrating cavalry and reported to the Marquis of Jingping. There was no problem with all this. The only question was what the sudden appearance of the 20,000 cavalry army wanted to do. It seemed obvious now that they wanted to attack Fengxin.
But the troops are not strong enough...
That's right, there is not enough troops! How could the captive army not have enough troops!
Shang Zhengyu's cold sweat came down immediately. You must know that there was a large plain near Langfu. Only the area where Fengxin is located would have a little hilly area. As long as the Wolf King and the Tiger King thought, even if they sent a 100,000 enemy army, as long as the detour route was long enough, they would definitely be able to successfully avoid the eyes and ears of the Great Wei army. You must know that at this moment, the enemy army was like a pocket to pack Langfu in, leaving only the pocket mouth not tightly. And this pocket mouth is the lifeline where Langfu and Fengxin are located!
They must have wanted to cut off this lifeline, so they would never be able to send only 20,000 troops!
Oh no, I got the trap! Their purpose is not Feng Xin, but to come behind him to help Feng Xin reinforcements! These 20,000 troops are just a cover!
Just like in response to Shang Zhengyu, a thunder suddenly exploded in the sky, and a heavy rain enveloped the entire earth. The north wind whistled, rolled up smoke and dust, and then was suppressed in the torrential rain.
A trace of decisiveness flashed in Shang Zhengyu's eyes. He turned over and ran away immediately along the road he came. He only hoped that his premonition would not be true, or that he could intercept the reinforcements before they reached the ambush point!
It was late autumn, and heavy rain washed Shang Zhengyu's body, and it was frozen into his bones with a biting chill.
====The dividing line is a good kid====
What fell along with the heavy rain were sharp arrows whistling.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Protect the Marquis!"
"Retreat quickly, retreat!"
The entire Wei army was in chaos, with the sound of shouting and killing, and the screams before death, like the sound of soul-tempering demons, constantly shaking Zheng Pingyi's mind.
Just as I passed this plain, clusters of sharp arrows suddenly flew out from the woods next to me. At the same time, behind the hills, inside the woods... the enemy suddenly rushed out of the east, west, and south sides! It seemed as if I had been practicing first, the enemy rushing out of the two wings instantly cut off the Great Wei army in half! And Zheng Pingyi was in the front of the army!
Mu Zheng was upset just now, and he felt uneasy until the muffled thunder sounded in the sky that he realized that he had overlooked a very important key!
Except for Shang Zhengyu, he sent a total of five scouts, but in the end, only the old man came back... Where did the others go?!
Before he could feel chill in his heart, the arrow rain, which was a little denser than the heavy rain in the sky, had already flew up around the Great Wei army. In just a few breaths, it fell into the Great Wei army, and the army was suddenly in chaos!
