Loess Ridge.
This is not the name of a mountain, but the name of a mountain road. This year's spring is particularly warm, and the remaining snow is gradually melting away.
On the wide road, as far as the eye can see is loess. As the snow melted, the roads became muddy and full of potholes.
"Da da da!"
The reinforcements sent by Zhang Bu, the soldiers and horses of four thousand captains, slowly entered the road to Huangtu Ridge.
Chen Haer led the Meng Yuan soldiers under his command and walked at the forefront. Zhu Yong led the Meng Yuan soldiers to cut off the rear.
The Mongolian soldiers were only responsible for marching and went into battle easily with only the equipment on their bodies.
Walking in the middle were Han soldiers under the command of Zhao Gu and Lian Sheng, the Han commanders of thousands, who were responsible for pulling the heavy baggage vehicles. Although the heavy baggage vehicles were also pulled by donkeys or mules, the terrain in this section was really muddy, and the wheels would get stuck in potholes from time to time.
At this time, the Han soldiers would push the carts from the rear, which was very hard.
The food chain levels of the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers and the Han soldiers are clear at a glance.
In addition to this large group of people, there are also a considerable number of spies exploring the road ahead. Whenever they reached a place suitable for an ambush, they would either go up the mountain to explore the situation, or stand on a high place and watch to make sure there was no ambush.
So far, nothing has gone wrong.
In front of Chen Haer's unit, the Meng Yuan soldiers walked easily and looked calm. Some soldiers even whispered to each other from time to time.
They already knew what enemy they were facing.
Liaodong Tiger Wu Nian.
But they are fearless, this is a fighting nation.
Life goes on and the fight goes on.
They are used to fighting.
Moreover. It's not like we have to fight with Wu Nian in the field. There is Dingxian city ahead that can be resisted.
Even in the wild. The soldiers of Beishan Fort can only fight to a draw with them. They cannot lose if they refuse to defend the city.
Under the banner with the word "Chen", Chen Haer heard the soldiers talking quietly, but didn't take it seriously. He is not known for his strict military discipline when leading troops.
"Ding County originally had three thousand captains of soldiers, plus our four thousand captains of soldiers. It is more than enough to resist Wu Nian."
Although Chen Haer did not include the Han commanders in front of Zhang Bu, he still counted the heads when facing the battle.
The strength of the seven thousand captains was reduced by 10,000. Beishan Fort Wu Nian only has twenty-two thousand households. Even if they all go out, they can't conquer Dingxian.
"Da da da!!!" At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from the front. Chen Haer looked up and saw a fast horse galloping towards him, quickly arriving in front of him.
"Sir, a group of men and horses were found in front. They are heavy armored cavalry, and their flag is [Feng]." The spy on the horse took a breath and reported to Chen Haer.
"Is there really an ambush?!!! Is Wu Nian coming for us? Didn't he go to attack Dingxian? Zhang Bu actually said that his intelligence was reliable, which is simply ridiculous."
Chen Haer's expression changed and he cursed loudly.
Although spies were sent along the road to check the situation, they could only go so far. This prevents him from being directly attacked and gives him time to react.
Now how to do?
Heavy armored cavalry.
This troops and horses were only intercepted first, and there must be Wu Nian's large-scale troops and horses behind them.
"Convey the news to the other three captains. Our front team becomes the rear team, and the rear team becomes the front team. The soldiers move close to the baggage truck, using the truck as a cover. Return to Jiang County."
Chen Haer was still calm and gave the order loudly. Then he took a long-handled sword from a soldier, turned his horse's head first, and headed back in the direction he was coming back.
"Oops. Fallen into a trap. Wu Nian is deliberately planning to send reinforcements."
The Han commander Lian Sheng's face changed drastically. His fear of Wu Nian doubled. He became a little panicked. He reluctantly calmed down and commanded the Han soldiers under his command to act according to the order.
As expected of elite soldiers who had been trained for two years, the Han soldiers quickly changed directions according to the order.
Four thousand captains, with Zhu Yong as the vanguard, returned to Jiang County.
In fact, the road back to Jiang County is also very long. They have no village in front of them and no store in the back. But the direction of Jiang County is always closer than Ding County.
"Da da da!!!!"
Although they quickly changed direction, how could they outrun the heavy armored cavalry? Soon, the heavy sound of horse hooves was heard behind them.
"I am General Feng Chong. A thief. Stop struggling fearlessly. Stop quickly and let me kill you." Feng Chong was wearing thickened armor and holding a sword eight feet in his hand. He took the lead and raised the sword. roared.
At this moment, the sound of people and horses came from the front.
"Thieves. You are surrounded. Why don't you die quickly!" Wei Ru shouted and led a thousand soldiers under his command. They held up their horses and sat astride their bay-red horses and charged out from the path in front.
"kill!!!!"
The soldiers looked up to the sky and roared with murderous intent.
The four thousand captains under Zhang Bu, whether they were Mongolian or Han, all had sweat on their foreheads.
"Hurry up the path."
Lian Sheng reacted quite quickly. He immediately shouted, changed direction, and galloped towards the path on the right.
"It's a great idea. But the paths are guarded."
"I am General Zhang Jin. I am a young man, please dismount your horse and die." Zhang Jin laughed loudly, led his troops to attack, raised the horse in his hand, and shouted at Lian Sheng, with a wanton posture, Expression relaxed.
In the past, we were chased by the Mongolian people and ran around, as if we were bereft dogs. it's good now. It was true that Hedong was in Hedong in thirty years, and Hexi was reversed in Hexi in thirty years.
As the saying goes.
Don't bully young people into poverty.
As Zhang Jin fought his way out, troops came out from the main roads in front, back, left, and right, and from the alleys in all directions, tightly surrounding the four thousand commanders Zhu Yong, Chen Haer, Lian Sheng, and Zhao Gu. .
"kill!!!!"
The sixteen thousand households of Wu Nian had too many soldiers and horses to squeeze through. Suddenly there were people shouting for death on the mountain on the left, but it was Zhang Sheng who led his 500 divine arm archers and 500 auxiliary soldiers to occupy a high position.
One by one, the divine arm archers cocked their crossbows and aimed at the four thousand captains Zhu Yong, Chen Haer, Lian Sheng, and Zhao Gu at the foot of the mountain.
This is the strength advantage.
It is also besieged on all sides.
The four thousand commanders Zhu Yong, Chen Haer, Lian Sheng, and Zhao Gu were overwhelmed by the Wu Nian elite soldiers from all directions. How could they distinguish between Mongolian and Han commanders? They were all sweating on their foreheads. His face was full of despair.
"Special number. This guy Zhang Bu. He also said that his information is reliable. He is reliable. We are being plotted." Chen Haer couldn't help it and cursed again.
"That's right. You have been plotted. If you are a man, just be happy and wipe your own neck. You don't think that I will not let any Mengyuan people go."
With a loud laugh, Wu Nian, protected by a group of heavily armored and heavy ax soldiers, rode a black war horse and appeared at the east intersection with a horse in hand, looking at the urn in front of him to catch turtles with a solemn look.
