Ambushing outside Jiuhu City was Jiao Gong, the same Jiao Gong who guarded the northwest border to resist Kang State.
Hearing that he was going to be transferred here to fight against the enemy, he was really excited for a while, thinking that he finally had the opportunity to fight with He Ran on the battlefield, but he didn't want to be sent to fight against the White House Bo. Jiao Gong was greatly discouraged, and the White House Bo was just a
He Ran's general was defeated, and even if he won, he wouldn't be able to show much ability, so he came with the intention of repelling the Shun army as soon as possible and then asking for a war to fight against the Yi State. Unexpectedly, he was asked to fight and retreat.
The order to resist was really hard for him to accept.
Military orders cannot be violated. After thinking about it, Jiao Gong thought that he couldn't just wait for others to attack him. He was responsible for the defense in the east direction. After carefully surveying the terrain, he chose this area outside Jiuhu City.
It was a suitable place to hide troops. Of course, he was not going to defend Jiuhu City. As Tao Lang said, such a small city was not worth sending troops to fight. Any general would hold this view. Jiao Gong's eyes were aimed at
At the rear of the Shun Army, as long as they attack Baipu City, he can sneak around to the rear of the Shun Army to retake the occupied Luocheng and cut off their food route.
It's fun, it's best to annihilate all this loyal army.
Jiao Gong had led five thousand men and horses and had just been hiding for a day. When he was immersed in his beautiful thoughts, a sentinel came to report that there was an army of about three thousand coming towards Jiuhu City.
Jiao Gong was shocked when he heard the report. This was beyond his expectation. What he thought was that the appearance of the Shun army here might mean that White Waterfall City was no longer the target that White Water Bo would attack next. Could it be that he wanted to raid the Ping where he was stationed?
After staring at the geographical map for a while, he shook his head secretly. This was absolutely impossible. If White House Bo really did this, he would be either crazy or stupid. It would be tantamount to putting himself in a desperate situation.
The soldiers of Waterfall City can easily cut off its retreat, and no one dares to use troops like this.
After ruling out this possibility, Jiao Gong regained his composure and hurried out of his tent to climb up and take a look. He couldn't figure out the purpose of this loyal army coming here. He had to see it with his own eyes and watch its changes.
After waiting for less than half an hour, the shun army slowly came into view. Jiao Gong began to wonder again. According to his guess, this should be a vanguard of the enemy's army. The march should be lightning fast. The next group of troops
Under Jiao Gong's surprised eyes, they began to siege the city. It seemed that they were here to attack Jiuhu City! Otherwise, such a small city that had no safety concerns could be left to the army behind to crush it.
Jiao Gong's palms began to sweat. From his point of view, things couldn't be more clear. Since the Shun Army sent so many soldiers and horses to occupy this small town, he must have thought of White House Bo. He was predicting the enemy's plan.
Ah, with this team of people here to defend it, it will be difficult for me to achieve my wishful thinking.
The more Jiao Gong thought about it, the more chilled he felt that his self-righteous plot had been seen through in advance. From this, it seemed that Bo Bai's strategy was definitely not inferior to his own. If he couldn't even defeat Bo Bai, how could he face He Ran?
Seeing that the Shun army was about to attack the city, the general beside him asked in a low voice: "Sir, should we take action?"
The unknown fire in Jiao Gong's heart rose, and he said fiercely: "The whole army attacks!" Since the beautiful idea is no longer possible, he can only take advantage of the advantage in front of him. From the lazy look of the Shun army, it can be concluded that they are here to prevent this.
In the future, there may be Tibetan troops who do not know that their own army has already been ambushed.
When the Shun army rushed toward Jiuhu City with the sound of war drums, the sound of Zhao Jun's war drums also sounded.
General Lou Huan of the Shun Army was startled when he heard the sound of war drums behind him. When he turned his head to look, he saw countless Zhao troops charging out from the forest and the mountainside.
He has been ambushed! Although Lou Huan has been on the battlefield for a long time, it is difficult to remain calm at this moment. The most feared thing when leading troops in battle is to be ambushed. Especially in this situation without any preparation, panic and panic can cause an army to collapse in an instant. He
The general sent an urgent message to order the soldiers who were about to attack the city to reorganize to meet the enemy, but it was already too late. Most of the terrified soldiers started to flee regardless of the order.
Seeing that the enemy army was in disarray, Jiao Gong's men and horses all rushed to fight bravely. This was a good opportunity to make a contribution. Hundreds of soldiers in Jiuhu City had already moved away, and the one or two hundred soldiers who were left to guard the city were already determined to die.
The city was destroyed. Unexpectedly, his own men and horses fell from the sky, so he killed them too in ecstasy.
Lou Huan knew that the defeat was certain, so he did not dare to delay and shouted for his men to retreat quickly. He led more than a hundred soldiers around him to cut off the rear. After a chaotic battle, when he broke out of the encirclement and caught up with the defeated troops, he counted the number of people and the number of casualties.
Halfway through, most of the two thousand infantry failed to return, and only about six hundred of the thousand cavalry remained.
White House Blog could hardly believe his ears, and Tao Lang was also astonished. Although Shun's army was defeated, he began to secretly admire the foresight of General Shun.
Lou Huan lived up to his reputation as a fierce general. He even captured two Zhao prisoners after a major defeat. This is also common sense that all generals have. Don't be afraid of defeat, just be afraid of it being unexplained. As long as you find out the cause of the defeat in time, you can turn defeat into victory.
There is no chance, and if you can bring back prisoners in such a defeat, your crime will be reduced.
After interrogating the prisoners of war without a moment's delay, White House's eyes shot out fiercely. He stared at the geographical map and only thought briefly before calling Lou Huan and saying: "I will give you a chance to defeat the enemy. I will order two thousand more cavalry. You
Go after Zhao Jun immediately."
At this moment, Lou Huan felt defeated and useless. Hearing the order, his blood boiled and he said: "Thank you, General! If you don't avenge me, I will never retaliate!"
Bai Guangbo pointed at the geographical map and said: "Listen to me, don't be eager for revenge. I have heard of this Jiao Gong. He has some skills. I think even if he withdraws, he will set up another ambush and wait for us.
Chasing from behind, they came from Pingcheng. There were two roads back from Jiuhu City, one was flat and wide, and the other was narrow and rugged with dense forests on both sides. Three thousand of his five thousand men and horses were infantry. It was very difficult to walk on the main road.
It is easy for us to catch up, so he will choose a small road. When you rush to the dense forest, you must be careful, send more sentries, and once you sense an ambush, station your troops in an open area."
"Then what?" Lou Huan asked.
"If you can't stand the enemy, don't move. Keep an eye on him!"
"If they retreat, will I chase them?"
"Follow slowly, don't chase."
Lou Huan was at a loss.
White House Bodao said: "As long as you contain them, I will personally take the opportunity to seize Pingcheng. He should take away most of the people in Pingcheng. Hmph, he is too smart."
Lou Huan was surprised and said: "Sir, you want to attack Pingcheng? But Baipu City has not been captured, and our future is worrying."
A hint of sneer appeared at the corner of Guang Guangbo's mouth, and he said: "After Jiao Gong learns that Pingcheng is under attack, he will retreat in a hurry. You can just chase him for a while, but not more than ten miles, and then retreat immediately." As he spoke, he headed southwest.
He pointed out, "The Tibetan army is located in Luofeng Mountain, ten miles southwest of this place. Even if they learn that the enemies of Baipu City are coming to attack Luocheng, they should ignore it and wait until the city is on fire in the evening before attacking."
Lou Huan took the order and left. White House Bo called several generals to advise him, and then he personally led 2,000 troops and 2,000 troops from the headquarters and galloped out of the camp.
