Ten miles away, in a blink of an eye, the vanguard of the bandit army, with more than 10,000 troops, arrived outside Jinyuan City.
Jinyuan City was in ruins and an empty city. General Li Bai did not dare to camp inside. If there was an accident, he would easily be trapped in the jar to catch turtles, so he ordered to find an open space to camp outside the city.
The night has fallen, the cold wind is still there, and the lights on Taiyuan City, more than ten miles north, are faintly visible.
"Tomorrow, we will march to the city. We will break the city soon. We will take another step forward and make our first contribution!"
Li You was so proud that Bai Minghe laughed in agreement. The soldiers behind them were making fire, cooking, and digging soil to set up camp. They were very busy, but they were also orderly. Everything looked so beautiful.
However, there is a word called sudden change!
When General Li Bai was in high spirits, he suddenly saw a star of fire approaching in the distance due to the north.
"Come here, let's investigate!" Li You frowned. The army set up camp, and naturally there were clear posts and hidden sentries outside. What's going on with these fires? Are the officers and soldiers approaching?
Just as they were wondering, those sparks suddenly turned into a prairie fire and moved towards them quickly.
"Not good." Li Bai and Li Bai said in unison, and immediately thought of the same thing, attack the camp!
Perhaps the most feared thing for leading generals when marching and fighting is being attacked late at night.
Because the night itself can amplify people's fear, and with the cover of night, you have no idea how many people the other party has, their origins, and their fighting strength. You just want to escape...
So in history, especially when you look at the Three Kingdoms, you will find that many large camps with strong military strength are often defeated by small groups of troops!
Didn't it mean that the cowardly officers and soldiers were already trembling with fear, hiding in Taiyuan City like turtles and not daring to fight? Why did they still have the courage to go out of the city for a sneak attack at this time, and they were obviously prepared to fight!
This unscientific!
Li and Bai cursed in their hearts, but there was no time to discuss science and unscientific right now. The top priority was to stabilize the position and face the enemy.
A rough calculation with torches from a distance shows that the number of officers and soldiers should be about ten thousand, which is about the same as our own. Fortunately, our own side is resting and setting up camp at this time. Although it is panicked and slightly embarrassed, it is by no means as confusing as dreaming of being attacked in the middle of the night. Fleeing in all directions in panic.
It can be seen that the officers and soldiers did not grasp the timing correctly.
Li and Bai got on their horses and ordered their subordinates to prepare for battle. At the same time, they ordered their own soldiers to stabilize their positions and prepare to meet the enemy.
The bandits here had just formed a hasty formation, and the officers and soldiers to the north were already two miles away. Li Bai and Li Bai couldn't help cursing in their hearts that the scouts had responded so hastily and allowed the officers and soldiers to get so close before they were discovered. If they were to make a surprise attack in the middle of the night...think about it. Cold sweat.
"It's unbelievable that officers and soldiers would take such initiative. It's really rare!" Bai Minghe frowned deeply, a bad feeling lingering around him, but he couldn't put it into words.
"We were careless, and our lord underestimated the enemy. As the saying goes, soldiers never tire of deceit, we were all deceived by the bad behavior of the officers and soldiers before. Now it seems that Zhou Yuji and the eunuch are playing very well." Li You also sighed!
"But I don't know why the officers and soldiers are so restless. If we wait a little while to set up camp, late at night... I'm afraid..." Bai Minghe couldn't help but shudder!
Li You shook his head slightly, with a puzzled look on his face: "Perhaps they have been ambushing here for a long time but were discovered by our spies, so they had to take action in advance." Then he suddenly snorted angrily: "A bunch of wastes, once this matter is over, they will... Punish him severely!"
"Let's talk about the current matter first. Let's fight and retreat, or should we attack?" Bai Minghe said.
Li You frowned deeply: "If we retreat, we may be defeated, and the initiative is not in our hands at this time. Let's fight hard first. After all, the opponent's troops are equal to ours, and it is a dark night battle. It is not certain who will win." As he said this, he suddenly shouted loudly. Roared: "Send the order, attack with all your strength!"
Because the officers and soldiers on the opposite side had already rushed over, the original long dragon formation suddenly spread out on both wings and rushed toward the rebels like flying eagles!
In an instant, the two armies were in close combat, and the cold winter land shrouded in darkness was filled with the sound of killing and killing, suppressing the howling cold wind without leaving a trace.
To the west of Jinyuan City are vast mountains, and to the east of the city is a flat plain with no mountains or forests. The place where the bandit army camped was on the official road to the east of the city. It was now as miserable as hell.
Soldiers from both sides fought in the dark, and the fighting was evenly matched. It is said that the rebels lined up in a hurry to fight, and they were passive and psychologically weak.
But don’t forget, this is a night battle!
It is well known that thieves are good at night fighting. Because of their habits due to their background, thieves are inherently shady. They fight secretly and attack at night. When they are surrounded by officers and soldiers, they also escape in the dark. They have accumulated abundant experience points.
Using their strengths to make up for their weaknesses, and with the equal strength of their troops, the two sides were at odds with each other for a while.
But some people don’t want to see this situation!
Over there is Chang Yu who came with the five hundred emperor's personal guards!
The ones who started a head-on fight with the rebels were Yang Zhenwei and He Cheng, the vanguard of officers and soldiers. They led 10,000 troops to lure the enemy head-on.
When the two sides were fighting, the two of them also led their own soldiers into the battle group, because he still had someone behind him!
"It's our turn! Remember, don't embarrass the guards!" Chang Yu turned around and shouted!
"I am willing to go through fire and water with the factory boss!" Li Zhong, Duan Wuhu, Zhou Tianpeng and others quickly responded: "Please give the factory boss the order!"
"Just do it!" Chang Yu yelled, and then rushed into the battle group. Li Tiezhu led the original Jiang Yu's servants, following close behind to protect his safety!
The two sides fought for half a cup of tea, but neither showed signs of decline. One was good at night fighting and the other had high morale. The killing was indistinguishable. During the fierce battle, most of the torches on the field were extinguished, showing the fierce and tragic situation!
They didn't expect that this group of officers and soldiers would be so tough. Li Bai and Li Bai looked heavy, and then were shocked for a moment.
Because suddenly there was a fire two miles away to the east, and there was a loud killing sound. The two of them were shocked. There was actually an ambush among the officers and soldiers!
At this time, the rebel soldiers who were fighting also noticed this. They were shocked and their morale was in chaos!
"Quickly retreat!" Li and Bai immediately panicked and hurriedly ordered to retreat southward!
However, before the rebel army could even take steps to retreat southward, the fire started again due to the south...
Damn, Li and Bai were so horrified that their eyes almost burst into flames, they actually entered the encirclement! And he didn’t notice it at all!
"Retreat to the west!" Li You shouted in a panic, and the soldiers immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat to the west!
To the west is Jinyuan City, but of course they won't be stupid enough to withdraw into the city, and they will be turtles if they are stuck inside!
The so-called west refers to the vast mountains to the west of Jinyuan City. Once the officers and soldiers enter the mountains, they will naturally stop chasing them. Their defeat is a foregone conclusion, but at least they can escape with their lives.
However, what made Li and Bai desperate was that suddenly a group of troops came out from the ruins of Jinyuan City and blocked the bandits' way to escape westward!
"Isn't it said that it's a ruins and empty of people?" Bai Minghe roared to the sky in despair!
This should be the so-called upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. From top to bottom, the rebels feel that the officers and soldiers will only stay in Taiyuan City and defend the city, unable to get out. Those Tan Ma who are running hard with their lives hanging by a thread also have this mentality. , so after entering Jinyuan City, which was already in ruins, I just went through the motions in a hurry and ended the matter hastily.
But I didn't expect that it would be easy to hide thousands of people in the dark ruined city.
The sound of killing was loud all around, and the number of people and horses was unknown. The bandits were trembling with fear, and they fled in all directions but had no way to escape.
Li and Bai knew that their defeat was certain, and resisting would only lead to death in vain.
At this time, the two finally understood why the officers and soldiers did not wait for them to set up camp late at night before making a sneak attack, because it was simply unnecessary!
If they want to survive now, there is only one way available
surrender!
This battle was as Chang Yu had expected, and the outcome was a foregone conclusion from the moment he decided to start the fight.
First, they used scout horses to resist the rebel spies, and then sent troops to surround the rear from the east and set up an ambush. At the same time, thousands of troops were ambushed in Jinyuan City.
In order to avoid being discovered by them, the ambush troops on the east side and the rear stayed away from each other, and then used the vanguard troops of He Chengxin and Yang Zhenwei in the front to attract the enemy's attention, and then slowly approached, and when the fierce battle between the two sides was in full swing, they poured a basin of cold water on them. The thieves were thoroughly chilled.
Twice the force, ambushed and beaten in the dark, if they don't win, Chang Yu may take the lead and commit suicide by hitting the wall!
The bandit army has surrendered, weapons are scattered all over the ground, and groups of bandit soldiers are driven towards Taiyuan City by the officers and soldiers.
The two generals with their hair distributed were tied into rice dumplings and kneeling on the ground, while Niu Yong was yelling and scolding.
Chang Yu came over on horseback with a sword in his hand, sweating profusely, and pointed his sword: "Who are these two?"
"Back to the factory, Mr. Li, the vanguard of the thieves, and the two thieves Bai Minghe!" Niu Yong said.
Hearing Niu Yong's name, Li and Bai couldn't help but look up at Chang Yu!
"What are you worried about? Believe it or not!" Chang Yu shouted angrily, which frightened Li and Bai so much that they trembled and quickly lowered their heads: "Sir, spare your life!"
"Take them away." Chang Yu snorted coldly, and a few servants came out from behind and tied the two thieves behind the horses and went straight away. The two of them followed the horses and ran in a mess.
"Mr. Factory Master, what should we do with these prisoners?" Niu Yong asked forward. He knew that Chang Yu's temperament would always kill the prisoners of the rebel army!
But this time there were nearly 10,000 prisoners, so it was impossible to kill them all!
Chang Yu also had a big head. He looked up and looked due south, then turned back and said: "Pack it up and return to Taiyuan immediately!"
This battle was well prepared and unexpected, and the harvest was very rich. In addition to nearly 10,000 prisoners, there were also a large number of weapons, horses and a little food.
