After summoning Wei Jian, Lu Yan wrote to Cao Cao again, hoping that he could allocate grain and grass to Hedong County to relieve the victims as soon as possible. At the same time, he also sent more officials here, because many local officials fled, the government decrees collapsed, and there was no one.
The state of care.
After resting for a day in Anyi, at dawn the next day, Cao Jun's army set off again and approached the Yi family.
Senior officials have already sent people to keep an eye on everything.
When Lu Yan's soldiers and horses walked out of Anyi, they were discovered by secret sentries sent by senior officials.
After receiving the news that Lu Yan was marching towards the Yi clan, Gao Gan clenched his fists and said, "We're finally here!"
To be honest, senior officials were not sure whether they could successfully ambush Lu Yan.
But after making specific arrangements, senior cadres became more confident.
The high official immediately ordered Zhang Baiqi to hide at the designated ambush location, while he himself led five thousand fine cavalry to lure the enemy.
Pang De, Lu Yan's vanguard army, was about ten miles away from Zhang Baiqi's ambush circle when Gao Gan suddenly led his troops and charged out from behind a slope!
"There's an ambush!!"
"Beware of ambush!"
"Don't panic! Follow me to meet the enemy!"
Although they were suddenly attacked, the Xiliang army quickly reacted and began to face the enemy in an organized manner.
Excluding the previous battle losses, Pound now still has 7,000 cavalry. In terms of numbers, they have a slight advantage over senior officials.
However, Gao Gan launched a surprise attack towards the center of Pound's army and gained the upper hand.
"kill!!!"
"Kill!!!"
As fierce shouts of killing broke out from both sides, the two cavalry finally collided head-on.
Both sides were masters of mounted combat, and after fighting back and forth for a while, the battle was almost a draw.
During the strangulation ahead, Lu Yan also received news of Pound's attack, so he ordered his army to advance at full speed to support Pound.
Zhang Xiu led eight thousand cavalry one step ahead and quickly arrived at the battlefield.
After a period of fighting, Pang De and Gao Gan each lost hundreds of people.
When Gao Gan saw Cao Jun's reinforcements arriving, he took advantage of the opportunity before the two sides could turn around after the charge, and immediately shouted, "Brothers, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, let's withdraw!"
Leading more than 4,000 cavalrymen, Gao Gan ran towards the ambush circle that had been set up without looking back.
Pang De saw Gao Gan fleeing and Zhang Xiu coming, so he immediately shouted: "It's Gao Gan! Youwei, come with me and chase him!"
"Chase! Don't call Gao Gan away!" Zhang Xiu immediately became excited when he heard that it was Gao Gan, a big fish.
The two men joined forces and chased the senior cadre, but unknowingly, they were led into a pre-arranged ambush by the senior cadre.
Lu Yan's Chinese army is still some distance away from the vanguard.
When he heard the messenger saying that the senior officials only had 5,000 cavalry, Lu Yan suddenly became alert, "No, the senior officials may have an ambush!"
When Huang Zhong heard that there was an ambush among senior officials, he immediately came to Lu Yan and asked for orders: "Sir, the general is willing to lead his army to support us!"
Lu Yan felt good about it, so he said: "Han Sheng, you lead 20,000 infantry forward at full speed, and you must rescue the Xiliang army from an ambush!"
"General, take your orders!" Huang Zhong clasped his fists and left.
...
Zhang Baiqi and others lurked in the mountains and forests.
There are horse pits dug in the middle of the road, but there is a passage on both sides of the road for the cavalry to pass through. This passage is prepared for high-ranking cavalry.
"Boom!!!"
After Zhang Baiqi heard the sound of horse hooves, he immediately raised his upper body and looked into the distance.
Sure enough, the high-ranking cavalry is back!
"Accelerate!"
"Go from both sides of the road and be careful to avoid the traps in the middle!"
The senior officer urged the cavalry to speed up and reminded his soldiers to be careful of traps.
Because the cavalry running brought up a lot of smoke and dust, Pang De, Zhang Xiu and others behind them could not see clearly the high-ranking cavalry team. They just pursued the opponent's blurry figure.
After Gaogan passes through the trap zone, he hides and waits for his prey to enter the pre-set trap.
"Boom!!! Boom!!!"
The sound of horse hooves sounded louder than the cavalry team of Gao Gan. This was the Xiliang cavalry led by Pang De and Zhang Xiu, chasing after them!
Although the road is relatively spacious, for tens of thousands of troops, they can only march in a long snake formation, which gives the ambush a lot of space to attack.
Zhang Baiqi, who was ambushing in the forest, learned that Cao Jun had entered the ambush circle, so he said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, no one is allowed to act without my order!"
"Promise!" The guards around him promised in a low voice, and then passed it on to the messengers, who then delivered it to various ambush locations.
"Close!"
"Coming in!"
"Come in a little more!"
Zhang Baiqi seemed to have transformed into a senior hunter, patiently watching his prey, waiting for it to enter the trap he had set.
However, just when Pound and others were about to step into the trap of a horse trap, Pound suddenly shouted loudly: "Slow down! Slow down! Stop moving forward!!!"
Less than three hundred steps away from the horse trap, the Xiliang army suddenly stopped.
Zhang Xiu came to Pang De and asked in confusion: "Ling Ming, what's wrong? If you don't chase me, the senior official will run away!"
Pang De looked at the gradually dispersing smoke and dust in front of him and said, "Something is wrong!"
"What's wrong?"
"Look at the ground!" Pound pointed to the ground in front of him and said, "The hoof prints of the high-ranking cavalry are divided into two lines in front. They bypassed the middle and moved forward from both sides."
Zhang Xiu took a closer look and suddenly said in shock: "Sure enough! Is there something in the middle of the road ahead?"
As Zhang Xiu spoke, he put his palms in front of his eyes and looked forward, but the road ahead was empty and there was nothing!
Pound didn't see anything, but his instinct for danger warned him, "I'm afraid there's a scam! We'd better wait for Lu Hussar's army to arrive before moving forward."
Wait a minute, then Gao Gan, the big fish, will slip away...
Pound's advice is prudent. It is always better to be cautious when the situation is unclear.
Although Zhang Xiu was a little reluctant, he still nodded and said: "Okay, let's just wait!"
Zhang Baiqi, who was in the forest, saw that Cao's army suddenly stopped about two kilometers from the ambush entrance and stopped moving forward. He immediately understood that his trap might have been discovered.
"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the infantry from behind will arrive!" Zhang Baiqi thought that he could not delay any longer, so he gave an order and the army rushed out from both sides of the road!
A gong sounded! Suddenly, there were loud shouts of killing from both sides of the road!
"kill!"
"kill!"
Accompanied by the shouts, there was a hail of arrows. Most of the Xiliang troops were wearing light leather armor, and those who were hit by the dense arrows were immediately turned upside down.
The senior official who was hiding aside saw Zhang Bai riding out, so he stopped hiding and turned around to kill the Xiliang army from his hiding place.
Pang De and Zhang Xiu looked at each other, knowing that there was indeed an ambush!
Then Pang De said to Zhang Xiu: "Youwei, you lead the army and rush out, I will cut off the rear for you!"
Zhang Xiu was not polite when he heard this. He reined up his horse and turned around, shouting loudly: "Soldiers, follow me to break out of the encirclement!"
"Don't panic!" Pang De also shouted loudly: "Follow me to intercept the pursuers while retreating!!!"
At this moment, a loud shout came:
"Zhang Bai is riding here, General Cao will not dismount and surrender!"
Pang De did not dare to show weakness and responded:
"Where did you come from, you little thief? Let's see your Grandpa Pang teach you how to behave!"
