"Things have already happened, and there is no point in talking about anything else."
Jin Feng calmly gave the order: "Beat the drums, form a phalanx as quickly as possible, and go to the rear camp to kill them!"
"General, it's too late."
Xu Xiao said: "They have occupied the equipment warehouse. The shields and bamboos are over there."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a fire burning in the direction of the back camp, and the crackling sound was endless.
Bamboo itself is also flammable, and the fire grew stronger and stronger, lighting up half of the night sky.
"Are there any other places?"
Jin Feng's face looked a little ugly.
"There is another one over at Qingshui Valley."
Xu Xiao replied.
It was early in the morning, and only a few teams of the Tielin Army were left to monitor the high ground near Qingshui Valley. The rest were resting.
However, there is a quick reaction force stationed at this end of the canyon. If someone from the party calls, they can immediately form a phalanx to resist.
"Should we bring them back?"
Xu Xiao asked.
Jin Feng thought for a moment and made a decision:
"Transfer them back immediately, and deal with the prisoners in the rear camp first. But let the scouts pay attention to the north. If there is anything unusual at Dangxiang Camp, come back and report it immediately."
"yes!"
Xu Xiao ran out immediately.
In the rear camp, the party prisoners and the Tielin Army have begun fighting.
It has to be said that the Tielin Army is much stronger than the Dening Army in terms of military discipline and combat awareness.
Although they were no match for the cavalry and were also caught off guard, none of Tielin's soldiers escaped. Instead, they gathered together spontaneously and retreated while fighting.
At the same time, on the other side of the canyon, the Dangxiang scouts also saw the fire in the Tielin Army camp and quickly returned to the Dangxiang camp.
Li Jikui and all the party generals were waiting in the big tent.
After hearing the scout's report that a fire broke out in the Tielin Army camp, everyone knew that Mr. Staff's plan was successful.
The Han slaves' careful work rescued the captured cavalry.
"Brothers, the battle of the past few days was the greatest shame in our lives. Only the blood of the Tielin Army can wash away this shame."
Li Jikui took action and said: "Brothers, go and destroy the Tielin Army!"
"Destroy the Tielin Army!"
The party generals stood up one after another.
"When everyone passes through the canyon, you must remember not to fly the general's flag, and try not to command the battle, so as not to be targeted by crossbows, do you understand?"
Li Jikui's staff quickly reminded him.
"knew."
All the generals nodded quickly.
They have already seen the power of Dakang's heavy crossbow, and no one wants to try it personally.
But they didn't take the heavy crossbow too seriously.
Because everyone knows very well that the production technology of heavy crossbows is very demanding, and the Tielin Army does not have many of them.
Now it's night again. If you let a few heavy crossbows fire at will, how many people can be shot to death?
There are no casualties in a war. Anyone who is shot to death is unlucky.
"When I take over the Tielin Army, I will definitely go to the mountain and dismantle this piece of shit."
Li Jikui cursed and took the lead out of the tent.
Outside the big tent, the party's cavalry was already ready to go.
As soon as the generals arrived, the team set off immediately.
When they arrived at Qingshui Valley, the infantrymen quickly filled the horse pits with heavy crossbow arrows.
We originally thought we would be blocked by the phalanx, but the traps were all filled and we didn't see a single Iron Forest Army soldier.
"Haha, it seems that the Tielin Army has been called back, so we should be lucky!"
Li Jikui laughed loudly and ordered the cavalry to rush into the valley.
In the Tielin Army camp, the soldiers in the rear camp were forced to retreat steadily by the party prisoners.
More than half of the entire camp had fallen into the hands of these prisoners. Seeing that the prisoners were approaching the Chinese army's tent, Xu Xiao finally arrived with the quick reaction force stationed outside Qingshui Valley.
Quickly form a formation in the open space to block the party prisoners.
The hedgehog-like phalanx is still very intimidating.
The indomitable momentum of the party prisoners was finally suppressed, and the situation was temporarily under control.
Just when everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the scout galloped over on horseback:
"General, the party's army is coming and has entered Qingshui Valley."
"Damn it, we just called them back and they called."
Zhong Wu cupped his fists and said: "Sir, I will lead the people to fight with these prisoners. Let Xu Xiao move the phalanx back to defend Qingshui Valley."
"That's too late."
Jin Feng shook his head.
"What should we do?"
Zhong Wu asked anxiously.
"There is only one phalanx. No matter what, we will be attacked from both sides. At this point, we have only one way to go."
Jin Feng raised his head and glanced at the hill on the left side of Qingshui Valley: "Xu Xiao, follow the plan and I will cover you."
"yes!"
Xu Xiao nodded heavily, turned around and ran out.
There were fewer and fewer Tielin Army soldiers around Jin Feng, and finally only the phalanx remained, blocking the party prisoners while approaching the hill on the left.
The sound of horse hooves on the other side of Qingshui Valley got closer and closer, and the phalanx reached the foot of the hill.
Seeing that the phalanx was about to be surrounded by party cavalry who came later, Jin Feng gave an order, and the soldiers immediately threw away their bamboo poles, turned around and ran into the hill.
Although the hill is not high, there are woods and cliffs everywhere, making it impossible for war horses to climb up.
The Dangxiang prisoners were afraid of the Tielin army's deception, so they stopped after chasing them to the foot of the mountain.
"Zhuo Ban, it's great that you're okay."
Li Jikui arrived with his people. When he saw the captured commander of the party, he excitedly gave him a bear hug.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. There are political struggles in the Dakang court, and there are also political struggles in the Dangxiang court.
Zhuo Ban is one of Li Jikui's most capable officers.
The last battle was the first battle of Dangxiang's southern expedition this year, and it was also a good opportunity to earn meritorious deeds.
Li Jikui originally wanted to arrange for Zhuo Ban to be the commander, but unfortunately the Yeli family lost some connections with the Party Secretary of the Ministry of War, so the commander became Yeli Xiong.
But who knew that Ye Lixiong was shot dead by the Tielin Army for commanding the battle, but Zhuo Ban survived.
"Commander, Zhuo Ban is useless. It's an embarrassment to you and an embarrassment to the Party Cavalry!"
Zhuo Ban knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said, "Just kill me."
"The failure last time was not a crime of war. Anyone who encountered the situation last time would be hated."
Li Jikui recalled the methods given to him by his staff to win over people's hearts, patted Zhuo Ban heavily on the shoulder, and comforted: "Besides, didn't you lead the Tielin Army's camp? Victory will belong to us in the end!"
"But the main force of the Tielin Army fled into the mountains. I was afraid of being deceived, so I didn't pursue them and kill them."
Zhuo Ban looked at the hill in front of him and said regretfully.
"You are right. The Tielin Army is as cunning as a fox, and it is so dark. Our cavalry is not suitable for going up the mountain. There is no need to chase them."
Li Jikui said: "I have arranged for people to surround this hill, they can't escape!
You've suffered a lot these days, go and take a rest and deal with them again at dawn."
"yes!"
Zhuo Ban was indeed hungry and tired at this time, so he didn't force himself and went to find a place to rest.
He needs to have a good sleep, he still has a tough battle to fight tomorrow.
