The afterglow is gone, and night falls quickly. In the dark night as thick as ink, a little fire light lit up, and in an instant, a magnificent fire dragon that was several miles long burned.
Simple torches made of birch bark were lit by the sergeants. If it were normal, Tian Pan would not let the army rush in the dark night. After all, human visibility at night is really limited.
However, today's weather is not as expected. Dark clouds cover the moon and the clouds are very low. There should be a heavy rain in the second half of the night, and Rao'an City is already in sight.
The heat is getting stronger during the day, and the wind at night makes people feel particularly cool. Perhaps because of his age, Tian Pan's energy is not as good as before. Coupled with the forced march in recent days and the frontline war situation, his spirit has been tense. Now he has finally arrived in the hinterland of Qi State. This veteran who has been on the battlefield all year round has The general will inevitably become a little relaxed.
The generals are like this, let alone the soldiers below.
It wasn't until the former army gradually drove out of the millet field that Tian Pan, who was sitting on the chariot and taking a nap, realized something was wrong. The surroundings were 'quiet', and from time to time a few birds and insects of varying lengths could be heard from the fields, but they were quickly annihilated by the murmur of trampling.
Tian Pan stood up from the chariot, looked left and right for a moment, and then asked the charioteer beside him: "When were the scouts sent out?"
The charioteer was stunned for a moment, and then said truthfully: "General, at three o'clock in the hour."
At three o'clock in the hour... Tian Pan muttered at the corner of his mouth. Then asked: "What time is it now?"
"Xushi..." Yushou replied.
"Wu Shi?" Tian Pan's gray beard suddenly trembled: "Not good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a horse's neighing suddenly came from the front of the army!
In a moment, several horses of the front army knelt forward, and the people on the horses were shot into hedgehogs by sharp arrows almost instantly. Then there was a heavy "clang" sound of falling to the ground, followed by exclamations and screams.
"Array up! Defend the enemy!" Tian Pan shouted loudly towards Sakon.
The originally peaceful scene turned into chaos in an instant, with more and more people shouting: "There is an ambush! There is an ambush!"
However, before the Qi army behind them could react, in the woods not far away, the enemy's cavalry had already charged towards them waving their butcher knives!
The rumble of horse hooves instantly echoed throughout the countryside. In the dark night, the torch in the hands of Qi Jun has become a guiding light in the eyes of the enemy cavalry. The armor and stomach on their bodies look so dazzling and blood red under the light of the fire!
...Zhang Yuan led two thousand cavalry and suddenly rushed out from the left flank of the Qi army.
In order to prevent being discovered by the Qi army's scouts, the main Zhao cavalry forces on the left and right wings had been wandering several miles away and did not dare to follow too close. However, the Qi army did not notice anything wrong until they entered the area where the Zhao army had arranged in advance. of encirclement.
Five thousand surrounded thirty thousand. If it were a head-on confrontation, it would undoubtedly be fantastic. But it was so dark now that the Qi army didn't even know how many enemy troops there were. After a slight delay, the opening was blocked, and the main force of Zhao Cavalry in the distance had already rushed forward.
Amidst the roars, Zhang Yuan suddenly shouted loudly: "The people here are unjust, burning, killing, raping and looting. We are all teachers of justice, and the two and three sons are all justice! Do justice for heaven! Kill..."
"Justice! Justice! Kill!" The men and horses in the distance also shouted. The war horses galloped, their hooves trampled on the open plains, their sound was sonorous and powerful.
The Zhao army was full of fine cavalry, like a sharp sword, intent on cutting off the Qi army in half.
However, the Qi army was a well-trained army after all. After the initial chaos, it quickly organized an effective defense.
However, the Qi army's infantry and vehicle phalanx were unable to form an effective attack when faced with the ghost-like motorized cavalry.
YY
On the contrary, Qi Jun, who was illuminated by fire, became a target for a while.
Under such circumstances, the frontal firepower of the Qi army was not as good as the advance layout of the Zhao army; they did not dare to rush forward to engage in close combat with the cavalry, not to mention touching or touching. Such a dense formation and such a long front were simply not possible. May advance quickly and easily become confused and fall apart.
The Qi army organized several counterattacks and breakouts, but were all blocked without exception.
Facing the stable and dense square formations of spearmen, halberdiers and spear-shield troops, the Zhao army used bows and crossbows to harass them from a distance; while facing the chaos of their rivals, the Qi army's formation was unable to react for a while, so they directly held and waved Scimitar charges.
The scattered Qi army would then collapse towards the distance, carrying their comrades beside them. Faced with such a situation where they could neither run nor fight, the Qi army's will to fight was quickly exhausted, and the military formation that was struggling to maintain gradually collapsed.
The horrified shouts and heart-rending howls echoed in the air, and people thousands of meters away could feel the pain and smell the barbaric smell of blood that was refreshing!
Tian Pan stared angrily, looking at the hell on earth in front of him. His roars were of no avail. The formations were showing signs of loosening up, and the defeat seemed irreversible!
He knew that the Qi army had been defeated. The army could not hold out with reinforcements, not even until dawn.
From encountering the enemy to defeat, it only took a few hours. Even now Tian Pan doesn't know how many people Zhao Jun sent out, and when they ambush the Qi army's only route.
Tian Pan was suddenly filled with regret. Why didn't he think of such a simple arrangement in advance? He knew clearly that Zhao State had started a war with Qi State, but he did not notice Zhao Jun's movements!
Tian Pan looked up to the sky and sighed.
Drops of sweet rain suddenly fell from the dark night sky, hitting his wrinkled face.
The rain extinguished his hope, but it could not extinguish the raging fire of war that was still burning.
Zhao Jun's cavalry suddenly stopped charging in a roundabout way and shouted: "Disarm and don't kill! Kneel down and don't kill!"
Although the number was several times that of the Zhao army, they were defeated like a mountain. No matter how brave they are, they are still made of flesh and blood. The forward troops of the Qi army have been locked in this small area and cannot be seen. While hoping, the willpower soon crumbled.
"Clang" The first and second time, more and more Qi soldiers threw their weapons in their hands and knelt down on the ground. Just like the Yan people at that time, they gave up their dignity, betrayed their beliefs, and sold their country just to survive.
