Chapter 1186： 492 side concubine (1/2)
On the head of the willow on the moon, the 10,000 Nanliang army came along the official road to a few miles away from Yongjia City.
The cavalry galloping all day and night was already exhausted, and each soldier was now under heavy shadows.
In this regard, of course Ikaruo knows well, hesitating whether to let the army take a break before proceeding. Even if the current state of the army is rushed to Yongjia City, it is probably very bad for them.
At this moment, a steed came galloping towards this side, and the scouts in front of the road hurried back, dismounting and holding a fist to report: ”General, three miles ahead, you can dimly hear the sound of the siege of the southern army ... Sound, the Southern Army seems to be hitting the city gate with the siege hammer! ”The scout swallowed his throat and looked dignified.
With regard to Yongjia City, Ikaruo couldn't be more clear. If Yongjia City had not taken the initiative to open the gates and surrender, I am afraid it would not have been so easy to win.
Therefore, he was convinced that even if the army is not enough today, Yongjia City can stay at least three or five days.
He wasn't worried that Yongjia City would be attacked so quickly, but while the Southern Xinjiang Army was siege the city, it was a good opportunity to go for a sneak attack.
At that time, there will be no doubt that the southern Xinjiang army will be defeated on both sides!
Icarus ordered the scout to say, ”A few of you, continue on your way!”
”Yes, sir!” The scouts took their fists to lead their lives, turned over again, and raced away.
Ikaro's eyebrows were tightly locked, and the original fatigue was swept away. He ordered: ”Generals, quickly follow the coach to support Yongjia City!”
It is necessary to kill the Southern Army by surprise!
”Yes, commander!” Ten thousand cavalry responded in unison, cheering up.
Ikaruo raised his whip and yanked it towards his dark horse. The black horse hissed in pain and let go of its four feet to accelerate.
The 10,000 cavalry behind him was also fast. ”Treading ...” The sound of the hoof became louder, like a thunderous thunder that continued to ring ...
After walking about three miles forward, I really heard the shouts, the transfer of weapons from the direction of Yongjia City, and the loud sound of siege hammers hitting the gates ...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
It seems that the scouts are not bad, and the Southern Army is indeed siege!
Ikaruo's smile was filled with satisfaction, and the horsewhip was about to be pulled off again, and something suddenly flashed in my mind. It seemed that something was not right ...
correct! The scouts who went to explore the road never returned!
Ikaruo's heart was cold, and he had an unknown hunch. Could it be a trap! ?
The ten thousand cavalrymen I brought with me during this trip were the elite of the Nanliang Army. There must be no mistakes ...
Ikaruo raised his hand to signal the army to slow down, and then commanded: ”Send some scouts to investigate ...”
”Yes, handsome.”
A dozen scouts went to Yongjia City, while the army stayed in place to rest ...
At this moment, time was passing very slowly. It was only a joss stick, but it seemed like an hour had passed. Seeing scouting for a long time, Icarus's ominous premonition was stronger.
Suddenly, the soldier next to him shouted at the front: ”Master, it's scout! The scout is back!”
Ikaruo's eyes brightened, and he looked gauntly in the direction of the horse, and saw that the scout scrambled on the brown horse, shaking, as if it were about to fall at any time.
”Master! Commander ...” the scout screamed exhaustedly, ”It's a trap! Commander, the scout in front was in an ambush, all destroyed, only the villain escaped by chance!” The scout scrambled off the horse, sweating heavily. Martyred, ”Yongjia City has been captured by the Southern Army!”
how is this possible? !! Ikaruo's pupils shrank, and Yongjia City was easy to defend and difficult to attack. How could it be captured all day and night. What did Bamintu do? !!
When the city of Yongjia was lost, the great situation that they took every effort to form in southern Xinjiang was tantamount to being destroyed.
Ikaruo's chest was violently undulating for a while. If Ba Mintu was in front of him at this moment, he would have slashed the opponent!
Ikaruo shook his fist and calmed down quickly.
To this day, it will not help to worry about the fall of Yongjia City!
At this moment, our soldiers are tired and tired, and it is really inappropriate to confront the Southern Army.
Only retreat? !!
Ikaruo was not reconciled. He clenched his teeth tightly, and finally squeezed out the two words from the teeth: ”Withdraw!”
With an order from Ikaruo, the Nanliang army reversed its direction and galloped away.
Tens of thousands of iron hoofs hit the ground at once, the horses were getting faster and faster, the hoofs were deafening, and the dust was flying ...
On both sides of the official road were two dark woods. The lush leaves blocked the moonlight. The dark one in the woods didn't reach five fingers. No one noticed the pair of bright eyes hidden in the woods.
Suddenly, a whistle sounded, tearing the night sky.
The stray horses that were originally buried under the dust were suddenly tightened by the people hiding in the woods, and the stony horses went up, just tripping the horse's hoof.
Nearly a thousand war horses in front wailed, soared into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground. They even flung out the cavalry on the horse like sandbags, and they fell horizontally, and some were even war horses. Pressed under him, listening only to the hissing of the horse, the screams of people, the crisp sound of broken bones, and the sound of bumps.
What is more terrible is the following chain reaction. Thousands of war horses in the rear are too late to escape, and they are too late to stop. They are tripped by the horses that have fallen to the ground in front of them. The waves generally fall down ...
People shouted, horses hissed, mixed up, and turned into a pot of porridge. The scene was very powerful and shocking.
Ikaruo in the forefront was also thrown away by the impulse of the horses, but compared to most soldiers in the rear, his luck was good. After rolling a few laps on the official road, he eased off. Momentum. Although there was a lot of mud on his robe, and a few minor abrasions on his face, his body was safe.
When he got up and looked backwards, his heart was cold. Thousands of horses and cavalry were knocked to the ground. Their armor was dyed bright red with blood, and the wounded horse screamed sternly on the ground. Endless ...
There are so many tripping horses buried here, obviously a long-established trap!
How could this be? !!
Scouts ... On the way to Yongjia City, scouts went ahead of the army, but now, because this road has just passed, and has withdrawn quickly, there is no further scout exploration, so the king of Zhennan will choose Is it a sneak attack?
Does it start from Yanding City's call for help, step by step, one game at a time ... all of these are conspiracy of Zhennan Wang Shizi, but he was stupid enough to do it? !!
As if answering a question in Ikaruo's mind, a mess of footsteps, mixed with shouting and killing, came from the woods not far behind.
”Rush!”
”kill!”
Countless armored soldiers wielding long swords poured forth from the forest like a deep abyss, with momentum like a rainbow. The shouting and killing sound was like a roaring beast roaring, ringing through the earth, and the monstrous murderous force came overwhelmingly ...
The two armies fought wildly, the shields collided, and the long swords staggered. This official way became a battlefield between the two armies. The hissing man shouted, the sound of the killing was endless, and the hot blood splashed the soldiers' faces. .
The blood was flowing across the ground with death and injury.
Without a moment, wherever his eyes were, blood flowed into the river.
As the head coach, Ikaruo was naturally unscathed by the guards of a number of relatives.
He clearly understood that the war situation was not good for his side. Just now, two or three thousand troops were damaged because of a horse crash. The remaining seven thousand troops were nearly 10,000 troops to the Upper Southern Army. It was not easy for the opponent to win them.
The problem is--
The South Xinjiang Army is full of spirits and has been rested for a long time. However, its own side experienced a day and a night of marching. The people are exhausted and almost at the end of the crossbow. Once the battle continues for a long time, it will only expose the fatigue of their Nanliang Army.
But now the road is blocked, and the rear is Yongjia City occupied by the Southern Army. Of course, you can't throw yourself into the net. There are wolves in front and tigers in the back ...
No, I still have a way to live!
The map of the southern Xinjiang flashed across Ikaruo's mind, his spirits refreshed, and he commanded a soldier next to him.
The soldier immediately waved the banner vigorously and issued a slogan to the generals.
The Nanliang army quickly moved. No matter horses or horses, they poured into the wood on the right side of the official road like a tide. Although the wood was not good for marching, it was a natural barrier and it was not good for the enemy's pursuit. .
But the woods are not the ultimate goal of Ikaro.
According to Ikaruo's memory, there is a large hill in the southwest of Yongjia City, densely wooded and undulating. Once they occupy that hill as a commanding point, they can stand high, observe the enemy's situation and suppress the enemy, and control the initiative on the battlefield. They can also find breathing space and rest for the army ...
That hill is their vitality!
”Drive!” Ikaro, who was riding on the horse, took the lead, followed by the Nanliang Army.
Soon, the green hills appeared in front, and the moonlight softly illuminated the road ...
Ikaruo had a happy moment in her heart, but then she took hold of the horse tightly and stared up at the hill in disbelief.
I saw dozens of feet away, a large squad of black Xinjiang Army stood in front of them, and black flags embroidered with silver characters fluttered in the night wind, spreading wantonly!
A black crossbow aimed at the Nanliang army below like a dense bee colony.
”No surrender, kill without amnesty!”
The soldiers of the Southern Army shook their flags and shouted, and that shout rushed into the sky, echoing in the sky, condensing ...
...
...
”Fluttering ...”
