Chapter 161 The Ambush of the Decisive Battle in the Clouds
As both sides chased and fled, the distance from the ambush was quickly closer, and Zhang Liao's mouth showed a smile of conspiracy.
The Xianbei Warriors who led the team did not realize that they had fallen into the whole set. Instead, they were overjoyed after seeing Zhang Liao slow down in front of them.
In his opinion, this must be because Zhang Liao's troops were exhausted and could no longer continue running. It was dozens of miles away from the Xianbei camp. After running for so long, even the war horses were tired, let alone the legs?
There is a slope in front of it. The slope is not high, and the top of the slope is only about five or six meters away from the ground, and the amplitude is not large.
In later generations, such terrain was called "back slope"!
"Road" refers to the slope in front of you, while "reverse" refers to the slope on the other side of this slope, that is, the slope on the opposite side.
On the opposite side of the slope, there is also a slope. It is restricted by the slope in front of you. People cannot see the situation on this end, so it is a good place to ambush.
The Xianbei warriors did not doubt that he was, and led their troops to rush up the slope directly. Eight thousand Xianbei soldiers rushed over quickly, but just as they reached the top, Gao Shun and Cheng Yu suddenly appeared!
"kill!"
Twenty thousand ambushers instantly broke out, tied up tightly, and countless Xianbei cavalry fell from war horses, and were then killed by soldiers who rushed up!
Gao Shun's ambush can win even if he faces a hundred thousand troops. If the other party does not escape, he can even be wiped out!
He was prepared here enough to achieve such a strategic goal, but as they expected, the Xianbei sent not many people to pursue him. Think about it, why should he send tens of thousands of troops to pursue him?
Lou Dan valued these people enough to be able to come eight thousand people, and what he wanted was a complete annihilation!
Therefore, at the moment when 20,000 ambushes emerged, the Xianbei formation was disrupted, although they themselves did not have any formation.
Gao Shun was invincible with a sword in his hand. Although his bravery was not very strong, it was not comparable to the Xianbei warriors in front of him. In just a few moves, the Xianbei warrior who had "respectful spirit" was knocked down by Gao Shun!
The 20,000 ambushers were full of morale and shouting to kill the sky. The Xianbei cavalry suffered huge casualties in a very short period of time!
The leader was killed and the situation was clear at a glance. All Xianbei soldiers screamed in horror and retreated in panic.
Gao Shun led his army to cover up the killing, leaving behind five thousand corpses, and nearly three thousand people escaped.
Zhang Liao laughed loudly with the people, obviously very satisfied with the situation in front of him.
Cheng Yu pulled off his clothes and quickly changed into the costumes of Xianbei soldiers. There were fifty people around him.
Seeing this, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were confused, but they did not ask questions.
Because Cheng Yu's speed is very fast, he looks very urgent.
They all knew that Cheng Yu was about to start the next plan, but Cheng Yu did not tell them how the plan was implemented, so he did not ask about it.
After changing his clothes, Cheng Yu pulled off the hairpin from his head, and his long black hair was dispersed. He picked up the weapons of Xianbei soldiers from the ground and cut off his long hair with one knife. He looked wild and unruly at this moment.
Cheng Yu held a sword and grabbed a Xianbei prisoner and asked in a very pure Xianbei language: "Who is the leader who led the troops to pursue? Who is his subordinate? Who is his position in the Xianbei tribe?"
The Xianbei prisoner was stunned at first, then shook his head.
Cheng Yu quickly said, "As long as you tell me, I can guarantee that I will not kill you! And when the war is over, I will give you three hundred cattle and sheep, more than ten thousand gold and silver. You can settle in my Han Dynasty, and you can also return to the grassland. If you don't say it, I will kill you and ask others, someone will definitely tell me about such conditions!"
The Xianbei prisoner asked him without hesitation: "Why should I believe you?"
"If you don't believe it, you will die!" Cheng Yu didn't talk nonsense to him.
"I hope you won't break your promise." said the Xianbei prisoner. "The man who took us to pursue is Ganluoy. He is a warrior under the command of the leader Loudan. He is in charge of five thousand soldiers. He has no specific official position and has been listening to the leader."
"My Lord is a kind and righteous person. You are very lucky. As long as you have not lie to me, all your previous promises will count!" After saying that, Cheng Yu turned to look at Gao Shun and said his promise to the Xianbei prisoner. Gao Shun nodded to express his understanding.
Cheng Yu said again: "Next, you will continue to defend here. Tomorrow night, the Xianbei camp will be in chaos. At that time, you will see the flames of the Xianbei camp rising everywhere. After waiting for an hour, you will immediately lead your army in!"
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were confused, "What does it mean?"
"Do as I said!" Cheng Yu did not answer, but gave a direct order.
At this time, the fifty soldiers who had changed outfits with him were ready, all dressed up by Xianbei soldiers. A war horse was brought over. Cheng Yu turned over the horse and shouted: "Go away!"
After saying that, he rushed out first, followed by fifty people behind him, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
Zhang Liao looked at the scene in shock: "Guigui, is Duke Zhongde going to bring those people into the Xianbei camp?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Gao Shun gave him a cold look, his eyes as if he was looking at a fool.
It is not difficult to understand the meaning of what he said.
Zhang Liao didn't care and continued, "But he only had fifty people, how can he make the Xianbei camp chaotic?"
Gao Shun said: "We don't need to worry about this. Since he has this confidence, then we will wait here as he said. However, if the Xianbei camp is as quiet as usual after tomorrow night, we will retreat immediately."
"Go away? Don't care about him?" Zhang Liao asked.
"After the time limit is over, either something happened to him or his plan failed. No matter which one it is, we don't need to continue waiting. If he is alive, he will return. If he dies, we can't rush into the camp to avenge him, right?" Gao Shun said calmly.
Zhang Liao fought a cold war and muttered: "You are too cold-blooded!"
"The lord said, this is called reason. But I don't refute your evaluation. Whether it is rational or cold-blooded, I cannot let my lord down on his high expectations." After Gao Shun said that, he ignored Zhang Liao and turned around and left.
Zhang Liao looked at the direction of Cheng Yu leaving, muttering to himself, as if praying for him.
On the other side, in the Xianbei camp, three thousand remaining soldiers returned, which shocked the Xianbei army.
After receiving the news, Lou Dan immediately walked out of the camp and asked loudly: "What happened?"
One of the people stood up and said, "Mr. Ganluoyi led us to pursue the Han army, but unexpectedly, after chasing for dozens of miles, he encountered a Han ambush. Lord. Ganluoyi was killed, and we suffered heavy losses and had to escape back."
"Are you Ganluy's subordinate?" Na Loudan asked him.
The man nodded: "Back to the leader, yes."
"What's your name?" Lou Dan asked again.
"Yin Yun." The man replied.
"How many troops are there in Roy's troops?"
Among the eight thousand people who followed Ganluoyi to pursue, three thousand were some Xianbei soldiers who started fighting with Zhang Liao. These people did not belong to the commander Ganluoyi, and when they rushed out to pursue, some people did not ride on war horses.
Later, Loudan sent another 5,000 people, because Gan Luoyi was the warrior under his command, commanding 5,000 people, and the five thousand people were Gan Luoyi's people.
And these five thousand people were all riding war horses, and they were Gan Luoyi's direct troops. Naturally, they were the ones closest to Gan Luoyi. Among the five thousand people who Gao Shun led his army to ambush, most of them were this group of people!
