Chapter 141 Ambush
Yongning is the Luoning County of later generations, and Guozhou is the Lingbao County of later generations. At this time, Lingbao County and Lingbao County of later generations are not in the same place. There are Wushan Mountains, with steep mountains and rivers and crisscrossing rivers.
Zhang Jun's troops had 700 people, but there were 1,500 horses. They walked in the mountains, strolling more than ten miles away. Two or three miles away, there were always Jin army's rangers staring at them. Although Wanyan Huo's girl behind them was far away, she had been walking a good road.
It was almost noon and we arrived at a valley. Zhang Jun looked around and said to Chai Biao: "The terrain here is good. The valleys on both sides are intercepted, and it is difficult to fly out even if we have wings. Let's take a few steps and find a place to rest in front."
Chai Biao said no and urged the army to move forward urgently.
Wanyan Huo's woman led the army to chase after her. In the evening, the roar came to report that Zhang Jun's troops had already rested. Wanyan Huo's woman looked around and saw that there was a small valley just blocking the north wind. She ordered the troops to stop and station here tonight, and would go to chase Zhang Jun early tomorrow morning.
Sitting in the tent. Soon, a personal soldier came in, carrying a grouse in his hand. He said, "There are no one around for several miles, there are many chickens and deer. He beat a grouse and roasted it for the Dutong later."
Wanyan Huo nodded and said nothing.
The army had run out of food. On the way, I encountered several villages, but I didn’t expect that all the food was taken away by Zhang Jun, and I couldn’t get any supplements. Every time I went there, the army always sent hundreds of people to hunt around. Fortunately, the Wanyan Huo girl brought the Zhen Jurchens, and she was used to this kind of life and could still hold on.
Here are dozens of miles away from Yongning County. I will not catch up with Zhang Jun tomorrow. Wanyan Huo’s girl has to consider going south to grab some food and grass.
Without food, the hunters kept making noise until midnight. Until the bright moon shook westward, the whole army did not rest.
In the early morning of the next day, the sun had not yet risen, the moon had already set, and the vast sky was covered with stars. The ground was covered with frost, and it creaked when stepped on it. The guards hid in the leeward place, drowsy.
Suddenly, a firework shot out from the mountain next to it. With the gorgeous firelight, a loud bang was blowing. With the sound, countless arrows shot down from the mountain. Many rockets inside quickly ignited the tent.
Wanyan Huo's woman who was dressing was shocked and threw her clothes on the ground. She grabbed the knife next to her and rushed out of the tent.
The personal soldiers came over and said, "The chief minister seems to have been ambushed by the Song army!"
Wanyan Huo's woman looked at the mountains on both sides and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic! The Song army we are chasing is less than a thousand people, so we are not afraid of ambushing them! We will recruit our subordinates and guard the mountain pass!"
At this time, the Jin army had already woken up. Some were lit fire and cooking, some were feeding horses, and some were tidying up their armor. Suddenly, they were attacked and had a mess. The general received the order from Wanyan Huo Nu and hurriedly organized the department.
On the top of the mountain, Zhang Yan took advantage of the starlight and saw that the Jin army quickly stabilized. He sighed: "This is the elite Jin army, not comparable to others. When he was attacked suddenly, he was well organized in a blink of an eye. How many troops can do it?"
After saying that, he ordered the crossbowmen to continue firing arrows and ordered each unit to occupy the favorable terrain on the mountain. When the sun rises and the sky is bright, he will attack directly from the mountain. The crossbows look so powerful that they actually have limited damage to the Jin army, so they must fight in close combat.
The sun poked its head out from the east, and thousands of rays of rays seemed to suddenly lit up the world.
Zhang Qi pulled out the steel knife, shouted loudly, and rushed down first. The Song army on the mountain followed Zhang Qi and rushed straight towards the Jin army.
Wanyan Huo's woman watched the Song army rush down from the mountain and pulled out the knife. She brought her personal soldiers to face Zhang Qi.
Dong Xian was the former commander of Zhai Xing, and Zhang Qi was Dong Xian's pioneer. He was known for his bravery. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he waved the steel knife in his hand and chopped down several Jin soldiers in succession. Blood splashed on his face with heat, and Zhang Qi was like a god of killing.
Seeing that Zhang Qi was unstoppable, Wanyan Huo's daughter stood up with the steel knife in her hand and brought her personal soldiers to meet her. The two were at the foot of the mountain, and they fought each other and killed each other in a short time. The three thousand Song troops, led by their respective generals, were divided into several parts, and soon separated the Jin army.
After killing, Wanyan Huo's girl felt something was wrong. She suddenly attacked Zhang Qi several times and took advantage of the opportunity to withdraw from the circle. When she looked up, she saw that her troops were divided into several parts in the valley, and were surrounded by the Song army. It seemed that she knew that the Song cavalry that surrounded her was definitely not the ones who were chasing her.
Protected by his personal soldiers and checked the surrounding terrain, Wanyan Huowo understood that it would be very difficult to escape alive today, not to mention winning. He immediately ordered his personal soldiers to send orders everywhere and ordered the generals to lead their troops to gather here.
When Zhang Qi saw Wanyan Huo's girl retreating, she felt unwilling to accept it, so she chased him with a long sword. After a few steps, she was blocked by the Jin soldiers.
Wanyan Huo's girl stood at a high place and looked at the situation in the valley coldly. Some subordinates who were surrounded by the Song army were rescued.
In less than half an hour, the sun rose to a high altitude and everything in the valley could be seen clearly. The Song army blocked two exits, while the Jin army gathered and surrounded Wanyan Huo Nu.
Zhang Jun on the mountain looked at the situation below and couldn't help but frown. He and Zhang Yan still underestimated the Jin army. Zhang Yan had 3,000 people, and at the most favorable time in the early morning, the Jin army still did not disperse. After more than half an hour of fighting, the Jin army lost more than 300 people. The remaining troops gathered together and were still very combat-effective.
According to the scheduled plan, Zhang Qi led his army to fight with the Jin army. Even if a small number of Jin troops escaped, Zhang Jun led his cavalry to chase and kill. This is the classic use of cavalry, chase and escape. Everything goes well, and this Jin army should be wiped out today.
But now in this way, Zhang Jun couldn't help but feel upset whether he could destroy the Jin army.
Wanyan Huo Nu saw the Song army on the opposite side slowly gathering up and setting up a military formation, knowing that it could not be dragged down any longer. Due to lack of preparation, many people in the Jin army were not wearing armor and even had no weapons. If they were entangled with the Song army in the valley, they would be afraid that there would be no way out today.
Turning around, looking at Song Jun blocking the valley entrance, Wanyanhuo's woman suddenly raised her long sword and shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill out!"
After saying that, he took a big stroll and rushed towards the valley entrance. The Jin army in front set up a dense formation and rushed towards the valley entrance.
When Zhang Qi saw this, he did not dare to neglect and led the Song army formation forward. However, the valley was narrow and there were not many people on the front, and the Jin army was held tightly by the Jin army. On one side, the Jin army retreated, and on the other side, Wanyan Huowo led the girl to rush out of the valley entrance.
Zhang Jun looked at the top of the mountain. The Jin army was like meat stuffing wrapped by the Song army, extremely stubborn. Although Zhang Yan was unstoppable, the Song army outside the valley entrance could not stop the Jin army. In less than half an hour, the Jin army was about to rush out of the valley entrance.
After turning over the horse, Zhang Jun said, "The Jinlu can't be blocked from below, it depends on us! I was chased by these birds for a few days and I felt angry!"
