Chapter 432 Besieged on all sides
Loess Ridge.
This is not the name of a mountain peak, but the name of a mountain road. This spring is particularly warm, and the remaining snow is gradually melting away.
The wide road was covered with loess as far as the eye could see. As the snow melted away, the road became muddy and full of potholes.
"Da da da!"
The reinforcements sent by Zhang Bu, four thousand captains of soldiers and horses, slowly entered the road to Huangtu Ridge.
Chen Haer led his Mongolian and Yuan warriors at the front, while Zhu Yong led his Mongolian and Yuan warriors to break up the rear.
The soldiers of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were only responsible for marching and went into battle easily with only the equipment on their bodies.
Zhao Gu, the Han commander in chief, and the Han soldiers under Lian Sheng who were walking in the middle were responsible for pulling the heavy baggage carts. Although the heavy baggage carts were also pulled by donkeys or mules, the terrain in this section was really muddy, and the wheels would get stuck from time to time.
In the pothole.
At this time, the Han soldiers would push the carts in the rear, which was very hard.
The food chain levels of the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers and the Han soldiers are clear at a glance.
In addition to this large group of people, there are also a considerable number of spies scouting the road ahead. Whenever they reach a place suitable for an ambush, they will either go up the mountain to explore the situation, or stand on a high place and watch to make sure there is no ambush.
So far, nothing has gone wrong with them.
In front of Chen Haer's command, the Meng Yuan soldiers walked easily and looked calm. Some soldiers even whispered to each other from time to time.
They already know what enemy they are facing.
Liaodong Tiger Wu Nian.
But they are fearless, they are a fighting nation.
Life goes on and the fight goes on.
They are used to fighting.
Besides, it's not like we have to fight Wu Nian in the field. There is Dingxian city ahead that we can defend.
Even in a field battle, the soldiers of Beishan Fort can only draw a draw with them. If they refuse to defend the city, they cannot lose.
Under the banner with the word "Chen", Chen Haer heard the soldiers talking quietly, but didn't take it seriously. He was not known for his strict military discipline when leading troops.
"Ding County originally had three thousand captains of soldiers, plus our four thousand captains of soldiers. It is more than enough to resist Wu Nian."
Although Chen Haer did not include the Han commanders in front of Zhang Bu, he still counted the heads when facing the battle.
The strength of the seven thousand captains is less than 10,000. Beishan Fort Wu Nian only has twenty-two thousand households. Even if they all go out, they will not be able to capture Dingxian.
"Da da da!!!" At this moment, there was a rush of horse hoofbeats from the front. Chen Haer looked up and saw a fast horse galloping towards him, quickly arriving in front of him.
"Sir, a group of men and horses were found in front. They are heavy armored cavalry, and their flag is [Feng]." The spy on the horse breathed a sigh of relief and reported to Chen Haer.
"Is there really an ambush?!!! Is Wu Nian coming for us? Didn't he go to attack Ding County? Zhang Bu actually said that his intelligence was reliable, which is simply ridiculous."
Chen Haer's expression changed and he cursed loudly.
Although spies were sent along the road to check the situation, they could only go so far. This prevented him from being directly attacked and gave him time to react.
What to do now?
Heavy armored cavalry.
This army was only intercepted first, and there must be Wu Nian's large-scale army behind.
"Convey the news to the other three captains. Our front team becomes the rear team, and the rear team becomes the front team. The soldiers move close to the baggage truck, using the truck as a cover. Return to Jiang County."
Chen Haer was still calm and gave the order loudly. Then he took a long-handled sword from the hands of a soldier, turned the horse's head and headed back in the direction of his return.
"Oops. It's a trap. Wu Nian is deliberately planning to send reinforcements."
The Han commander Lian Sheng's face changed drastically. His fear of Wu Nian increased exponentially. He became a little panicked. He reluctantly calmed down and commanded the Han soldiers under his command to act according to the order.
As expected of elite soldiers who had been trained for two years, the Han soldiers quickly changed directions according to the order.
Four thousand captains, with Zhu Yong as the vanguard, returned to Jiang County.
In fact, the road back to Jiang County is also very long. They have no village in front of them and no store in the back. But the direction of Jiang County is always closer than Ding County.
"Ta-ta-ta!!!!"
Although they quickly changed direction, how could they outrun the heavy armored cavalry? Soon, the sound of heavy horse hooves was heard behind them.
"I am General Feng Chong, a thief. Stop struggling fearlessly. Stop quickly and let me kill you." Feng Chong was wearing thickened armor and holding a sword eight feet tall. He took the lead and raised the sword.
roared.
At this moment, the sound of people and horses came from the front.
"Thieves, you are surrounded. Why don't you die quickly!" Wei Ru shouted and led a thousand soldiers under his command. They held up their horses and sat astride their bay-red horses and charged out from the path in front.
"kill!!!!"
The soldiers looked up to the sky and roared with murderous intent.
The four thousand captains under Zhang Bu, whether they were Mongolian or Han, all had sweat on their foreheads.
"Quickly take the path."
Lian Sheng reacted quite quickly. He immediately shouted, changed direction, and galloped towards the path on the right.
"It's a great idea. But the paths are also guarded."
"I am General Zhang Jin. I am a young man, please dismount your horse and die." Zhang Jin laughed loudly, led his troops to kill, raised the horse in his hand, and shouted at Lian Sheng, with a wanton posture,
The expression is relaxed.
In the past, we were chased by the Mongolian people and ran around, as if we were bereaved dogs. Now it's better. It's really been thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river, and it's reversed.
As the saying goes, it's good.
Don't bully young people into poverty.
As Zhang Jin fought his way out, troops came out from the main roads in front, left, and right, and from the alleys in all directions, tightly surrounding the four thousand commanders Zhu Yong, Chen Haer, Lian Sheng, and Zhao Gu.
.
"kill!!!!"
There were so many soldiers and horses from Wu Nian's sixteen thousand households that they couldn't squeeze through. Suddenly there were men and horses on the mountain on the left shouting for death, but it was Zhang Sheng who led his 500 divine arm archers and 500 auxiliary soldiers from a high position.
Occupied a high position.
One by one, the divine arm archers cocked their crossbows and aimed at the four thousand captains Zhu Yong, Chen Haer, Lian Sheng, and Zhao Gu at the foot of the mountain.
This is the strength advantage.
It is also besieged on all sides.
Zhu Yong, Chen Haer, Lian Sheng, and Zhao Gu, the four thousand captains, were overwhelmed by the Wu Nian elite soldiers from all directions. How could they distinguish between the Mongolian and Yuan commanders and the Han commanders? All of them were sweating on their foreheads.
His face was full of despair.
"Special number. Zhang Bu. He also said that his information is reliable. He is reliable. We are being plotted." Chen Haer couldn't help it and cursed again.
"That's right. You have been plotted. If you are a man, just be happy and wipe your own neck. You don't think that I will not let any Mongolian people go."
