Chapter 465: Cold Night Fourteen
In the wilderness south of the camp, Suba Ci led more than a thousand Jin soldiers and cavalry in pursuit. The Jin soldiers were good at riding and had a natural advantage in this kind of pursuit. They could ride horses even in the wilderness at night.
Running as if they were walking on flat ground, Fang Zian and others were ashamed of themselves. Therefore, after chasing out of the camp and arriving in the open mountains, Suba Ci's idea of outflanking them was effectively implemented.
Two hundred cavalrymen on each side rushed and detoured from both sides. Suba led more than 700 soldiers and horses to follow Fang Zian and others closely. It was like a wolf pack hunting encirclement tactic. When the soldiers and horses on both sides were in place,
, Suba Ci will order his men to accelerate suddenly and complete the encirclement.
Fang Zian saw this. This tactic was commonly used by the Jin people. The so-called kidnapper horse tactic is a tactic in which light cavalry on both sides rush in to complete the roundabout encirclement and killing. This core tactical idea has been adopted by the generals of the Jin Kingdom.
Proficient in understanding. This tactic is effective, but Fang Zian will not let them succeed.
"Rush to the mountains to the west, and be sure not to cut off the passage to the west." Fang Zian shouted in a deep voice.
Everyone knew in their hearts that this was the most important thing to do at the moment. Once the cavalry on the right surrounded them, it would cut off the possibility of approaching Xishan to the west. Then they would only be surrounded and could only fight hard. Fifty people were against them.
Even if there are more than a thousand people with three heads and six arms, they will definitely be defeated.
Everyone had no time to think about it, so they turned their horses' heads and rushed diagonally toward the towering Xishan Peak. However, in this way, they were already not far from the pursuers, but they turned diagonally, and even took the initiative to get closer to the pursuers.
The distance between the soldiers. Especially the outflanking cavalry of two hundred gold soldiers on the right, they walked in a straight line, while Fang Zian and others walked in a diagonal line. The two sides met brazenly at the intersection in front.
"Kill!" Fang Zian's voice was short and powerful, with a solemn feeling.
His horse charged forward, and the mace in his hand hit the head of a Jin cavalryman in front of him. The Jin soldier raised his mace to block, and heard the teeth-squeaking sound.
The sound of the sharp spikes on the stick rubbing was heard, followed closely by the sound of the skull breaking.
Although the golden soldier parried, Fang Zian's blow was so powerful that it knocked the opponent's mace down and landed on his forehead. To be precise, the golden soldier smashed himself to death.
.
Fang Zian saw blood with one blow and killed his opponent. Everyone was so excited that they shouted and charged for the kill. Lei Hu swung a heavy large ring knife with a whining sound, and could split the opponent in half with one strike. What's even more terrifying is that,
When the opponent hit him with a mace, he actually caught it with his hands. Of course, he didn't catch the head of the mace, but held the rod of the mace and pulled it in front of him. The opponent was not as strong as him and couldn't grab him.
Either give up, be dragged off the horse, or be hacked to death.
Comparatively speaking, Shen Ling'er's fighting style was the most relaxed and comfortable. Although her right hand was injured and she couldn't move, she wielded the long whip from left to right and swung it. The barbs on the tip of the whip hooked the enemy and then rolled them up and pulled them off their horses. Those who could break free must
Being hooked through flesh and blood, you will definitely pay the price if you want to escape. She does not rush around, but just follows Fang Zian closely. Anyone who tries to attack Fang Zian will be punished by her long whip. She does not seek to kill, but to kill him.
Pull down the horse and disrupt the opponent's attack.
The soldiers selected by the Fire Army for this trip are all elites. Although they are not soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles, they are actually almost the same in ability. They just lack experience.
.If they encounter elite opponents with rich actual combat experience, they will of course be unable to match them. However, the opponents in front of them are the most incompetent group of people in the Xishan camp. If they were elites, they would have been taken away by their general Wan Yanxun. The city was in trouble. Precisely because most of these people were old and weak soldiers with no fighting ability, they could only stay behind. Of course, some of them were soldiers who could fight, but after all, they were only a minority. Suba stabbed most of the soldiers who could fight. He kept them all by his side, of course out of selfish motives. He didn't want to be surrounded by a group of pustules who couldn't protect him.
Because of this, only half of the two hundred cavalry who were outflanking were of the standard of normal gold soldiers, and the rest were parallel imports. It seemed that there were more than fifty people against two hundred people, but in fact, the opponent's two hundred people were only more than a hundred people. Fang Zian, Lei Hu, Shen Ling'er and the other three have great martial arts skills and can kill people as easily as they can chop melons and vegetables. The fire army soldiers are also all tall and strong, and their methods are not weak. They were killed and felled in a short time. Twenty or thirty people were killed, which made the centurion who led the army quite frightened. But looking at the rear, he saw that a large group of cavalry led by Qianhu arrived just a few hundred steps away from the rear, and he was relieved.
"Hold on, our people will arrive soon, and then we will chop them into pieces..."
With a pop, a dagger penetrated his mouth, and the centurion fell to the sky. Fang Zian shot the centurion with his flying knife, and shouted loudly: "Don't be reluctant to fight, gather your formation and charge!"
Many people were so eager to kill that they almost forgot that the purpose was to break out of the encirclement. At this moment, they suddenly woke up from a dream, quickly gathered together, and rushed towards the west. The opponent's formation was already weak, and it became even worse after twenty or thirty people were killed or injured. Not daring to confront them head-on, the formation dispersed as soon as they charged forward. They watched helplessly as Fang Zian and others rushed over. Only then did he think of firing arrows, so he fired arrows randomly at the rear in vain, but to no avail.
When Subaci arrived with a large group of cavalry, Fang Zian and others had already ran a hundred steps westward. Subaci became furious and continued to chase with his men and horses while yelling.
But not long after, Suba Ci knew that he could not catch up. There was already a snow-covered hillside in front of him, and the opponent's soldiers and horses went straight to the woodland on the hillside. On the snow-covered hillside, riding skills were no longer important, because The horses could only walk step by step in the snow and could not run at all. They were less than two hundred steps apart, but they could not catch up with each other. The two sides maintained their formation as if they had agreed to a tacit understanding, and finally They could only watch as Fang Zian and others entered the dense forest on the hillside.
Subagi was not stupid. He immediately reined in his horse and ordered to stop the pursuit. A centurion asked in confusion: "General, why don't you pursue us? They are in the woods."
Suba scolded: "Did you grow up eating horse dung? Are you going to catch up and eat bows and arrows? They are shooting arrows out in the forest. We can't charge on the snowy slope of more than a hundred steps. When we rush into the forest, we will at least be dead or injured." There are hundreds of people. Would you like to rush to see them?"
The centurion was scolded, and he shrank his head and cursed in his mind: "You just grew up eating horse dung, and your whole family grew up eating horse dung and drinking horse urine. You have no ability, and you were attacked by others." In the camp, so many brothers have died. General Xun needs to deal with you with military law. Why are you clamoring? You are a waste. How did you come from a thousand households and think we don’t know? General Xun fell in love with your concubine, so you gave it to him with both hands. Let him sleep in his tent, so that he can survive in the army until now. This time,
Let’s see how you die.”
While he was talking, someone from behind shouted loudly. More than a dozen horsemen trudged through the snow, but they were soldiers and horses from the camp.
"What's going on? What's the ghost's name?" Suba Ci was angry and cursed loudly.
"General Qianhu, something bad has happened. Another group of men and horses rushed to the camp. Gulu Baihu and dozens of brothers in the northern camp were killed. The group of vehicles and horses rushed through the camp and entered the mountain pass." The soldiers who arrived shouted loudly.
shouted.
Subaci was stunned for a moment, slapping his thigh and yelling: "His grandma fell into their scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and fell into the trap of these people. They are the Song Dynasty envoys and horses in the mountains and forests.
This group is what attracted us to chase. That group of carriages and horses took the opportunity to enter the mountain pass. His grandma, I am so angry. Why didn't anyone remind me, you losers? If his grandma, General Wanyanxun will be blamed.
, you all are not having a good life."
All the soldiers looked at each other and thought: "You bitch. You raised thousands of households. How can I not listen to you? You are stupid and you blame us instead. If General Xun takes the blame, we will be the first to blame it."
A water against you."
Now that things have come to this, it is useless to stay on this hillside. Suba Ciwuwei was furious, but he could only order a retreat back to the camp to see what the situation was. He also had to find a way to make up some excuses to deal with Wanyan Xun.
Accountability.
In the forest on the hillside, Fang Zian and others stood ready with crossbows in hand. Seeing the opponent turn their horses and retreat, they breathed a sigh of relief. Although the terrain was favorable, if the opponent abandoned their horses and went on an all-out attack on foot, regardless of casualties, they would be defeated by fifty
A few people using crossbows cannot resist them. They may kill many of the opponent's soldiers and horses, but once the opponent breaks into the forest, things will be in trouble. So Fang Zian is actually prepared, once the opponent launches a full-scale attack
, just shoot a few rounds of arrows, and then retreat deep into the mountain forest, never giving the opponent any chance.
"They left. It seems they have given up. This group of pustules. I don't know if Brother Zhao Gang and Brother Feng protected Mr. Shi from rushing into the mountain pass. If they didn't rush over, this group of people would be in trouble if they returned to camp.
"Sir, why don't we go out and chase them? Then attract them back?" Lei Hu said.
Fang Zian smiled and said: "Don't worry, Brother Lei. I believe that Zhao Gang and Feng Yiming will face only two or three hundred people at most. Nimbus's numbers are not much disadvantage. They must have rushed over. You didn't see these people turning back in a hurry."
You must have received the report. I can announce that the plan was successful. Let's walk along the edge of the forest towards the mountain pass and join them. I thought they would chase them in, and then we would have to go into the mountain.
The situation now is much better than we expected. It's getting daybreak, let's set off as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and immediately led the horses out of the forest and walked slowly northward along the snowy slope outside the forest. They sent people to search nearby to prevent the other party from attacking or setting up an ambush. Although it was unlikely, this
Such caution is necessary.
Fang Zian was walking in the snow, and his eyes were already quite bright. He looked towards the eastern skyline, and it turned out that it was already dawn. There was already a touch of fish belly white on the horizon in the distance. A long night was about to end.
