The night was dark, but luckily it was approaching the fifteenth day, and there was a moon hanging horizontally in the sky, emitting bright moonlight, dispersing some of the darkness, allowing people to see the road clearly at night, so that they would not be unable to find their way in the dark night.
Kong Lingyue sent out not many soldiers and horses at night, only two thousand people.
The leader's name is Kong Fanxi!
This man was Kong Shentong's clan brother. In terms of identity, he was Kong Lingyue's uncle. He was good at fighting, but not good at overall planning. He obeyed Kong Lingyue's orders in the army.
Kong Fanxi's mission at night was simple, just to harass and pretend to attack Zhao Shan's camp.
Not going to really attack.
If Zhao Shan's troops come out while Kong Fanxi is feinting to attack, and Kong Fanxi leads his men to retreat, there is no need to engage in a fight to lure the enemy deeper. When they are far away from Zhao Shan's camp, Qin Cheng and Huang Danqing will arrange The cavalry outside rushed out, cut off the opponent's retreat, and annihilated Zhao Shan's men in one fell swoop.
This is Kong Lingyue's plan.
Let's test it out first, have a small-scale fight, and find out the details of Zhao Shan.
When Kong Fanxi led his people forward, he had already arranged for his subordinate sentries to go out. More than thirty people were sent out to inquire about news along the way to ensure that there would be no ambush by Zhao Shan along the way.
The person in charge of the sentinel investigation was named Tiezhong.
Tie Zhong served as a centurion and had outstanding abilities, especially good at night vision and excellent eyesight. Tie Zhong can see what ordinary people can't see, and Tie Zhong has a delicate mind and is very reliable in doing things.
Under Kong Fanxi's command, Tie Zhong was also an extremely outstanding person. It was precisely for this reason that Kong Fanxi sent out with two thousand cavalry and arranged for Tie Zhong to inquire about the news.
Tie Zhong dispersed with more than thirty people, heading all the way to Zhao Shan's camp.
Zhao Shan withdrew his troops and retreated far away.
The camp was located fourteen or five miles away from Chenliu County. The reason for this was because there was no suitable camp in the nearby area, so we could only evacuate this far.
There are many factors to consider when stationing a large army.
Water sources, wood, terrain, etc. must all be carefully considered, otherwise once a certain link is not arranged properly, the military camp will become more troublesome.
Tie Zhong led the people more than half way, and the moon was already at the top of the sky at night, so the visibility was even higher.
When Tiezhong was rushing forward, he came to a dense bush on the official road.
Li Buyi personally led his men to ambush.
With his status, it is really overkill to personally take charge of dealing with the scouts. But with Zhao Shan, Fang Weihu, and Wei Fengqing in the army, and everything was arranged in the camp, Li Buyi didn't need to worry about anything, so he took the initiative to invite Ying to join the battle.
Move your muscles and bones, otherwise your bones will become rusty.
Li Buyi was very patient and waited quietly. On the contrary, some of the sentinels on the side were dozing off because they had endured until now.
"Da da!!"
Suddenly, in the quiet night, the faint sound of horse hooves came.
Li Buyi had excellent ears. The moment he heard it, he became excited and shouted: "Someone is coming. Get ready and listen to my orders."
People on both sides of the official road were on guard.
The soldiers brought by Li Buyi all had bright eyes and looked expectant. If you have nothing to do at night, you are bored. But when enemies come and something is done, things will naturally change.
Everyone is waiting.
clatter! clatter! !
The sound of horse hooves became more and more rapid and clear.
Li Buyi's eyes were bright, he tightened his grip on the crossbow and aimed it at the official road. When Tie Zhong and his men appeared on the official road, and the front sentinel entered the shooting range, Li Buyi decisively ordered: "Fire the arrow!"
boom!
The trigger was pulled, and the crossbow arrow was shot.
Li Buyi's arrow directly hit a sentinel, and immediately shot through the heart of the sentinel, killing him with one arrow.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
Crossbow arrows were shot out one after another, crisscrossing the official road, forming a net of death. Screams continued under the crossbow arrows, and the sentries rushing at the front were killed one after another. No one broke through this area.
Tie Zhong noticed this scene and immediately ordered to retreat. After retreating a certain distance, Tie Zhong ordered to be on guard, glanced at the bushes on both sides in front, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that Zhao Shan was such a shy turtle that he actually arranged for someone to come at night. Get out of here, you bunch of dirty rats. ."
Li Buyi did not continue to hide.
If it were a normal confrontation between sentinels, he would hide in the dark and not take the initiative to come out, creating a deterrent effect.
However, Li Buyi wants to go fishing.
He wanted to use these sentinels to see if there was anyone behind the opponent, so he led a few people out and said coldly: "Who is the rat? They don't dare to attack in the daytime, but they sneak up at night."
Tiezhong looked at Li Buyi and his group. After careful observation, he found that there were only about fifteen people around Li Buyi. He sneered and said, "Are you trying to coax a ghost, or are you bullying me for being a three-year-old?"
"The crossbow arrows we fired just now were at least thirty."
"Now, only a dozen people have come out."
Tie Zhong sneered and said: "Are you waiting for me to step forward again and enter the shooting range of your secret crossbowmen to shoot us again? You are too underestimated."
Li Buyi laughed and said: "I didn't expect that a smart man came here. Come on, come out."
After the words fell, more than ten people came out of the official channels on both sides.
They all stood behind Li Buyi.
Li Buyi shrugged and said: "My people have all come out. Now I have more people and you have fewer people. If you don't run away, do you want to stay and fight again? This small number of people is not enough." !”
Tie Zhong looked around at his soldiers.
He brought more than thirty people with him, and after a wave of crossbow arrows killed more than ten people, there are still nineteen people left.
Tie Zhong took another look at the people around Li Buyi. The opponent was estimated to have about thirty people. If it was a head-on fight, nineteen of his people would have a chance to kill the opponent.
However, Tie Zhong did not rush forward in a hurry.
First, they do not understand the opponent’s strength and combat effectiveness;
Second, General Kong Fanxi and his men have already come from the rear. He only needs to delay a little while the cavalry army from the rear arrives to kill the opponent.
The most critical point is that by holding the other party back, you can prevent the other party from going back to report the news.
Tie Zhong is not a foolish and reckless general.
It is impossible for a stubborn and reckless person to remain among the scouts.
Tie Zhong had a calm expression on his face and said unhurriedly: "What is your name?"
Li Buyi was also stunned.
For so many years in the army, this was the first time he encountered an opponent's sentinel and instead of fighting him, he was just having fun.
When something goes wrong, it becomes a monster.
Li Buyi was a thousand-year-old fox and a veteran in the army. After carefully observing Tiezhong, he instantly determined that the other party was delaying, so someone else might be coming, otherwise there would be no need to delay.
Li Buyi didn't panic at all and said perfunctorily: "Who am I, you ask? I am Zhonggushan. Who are you?"
Tiezhong smiled and said: "I am Tiezhong!"
Li Buyi said deceitfully: "Tie Zhong, you are under Liu Fuquan's command now. Although you have people with you, as a rebel, you have no future. Your Majesty will sweep away the bandits and bring order to the chaos. Liu Fuquan will not have a future." "
"You will have a future if you follow His Majesty."
"As long as you step back from the brink and surrender to His Majesty, I guarantee that your official position will not change and you will be reused."
"What do you think?"
Li Buyi also deliberately delayed the time and said, "Are you willing to serve the imperial court?"
Tie Zhong originally wanted to deceive the other party.
Unexpectedly, the other party came to trick me into submitting,
Tiezhong was happy to delay the time and spoke further: "Zhonggushan, you are wrong. Emperor Zhao Shan of Daqian has never been a good person. It is obvious that our country of Xia is stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
"But he is determined to stir up trouble and start a war for the sake of the yellow hegemony, and he just ignores the life and death of the people. Such a person is not worthy of your service at all. In my opinion, it is best for you to turn your back on Zhao Shan. It is turning from darkness to light.”
"I, the Emperor of Great Xia, have always been recruiting talented people. If you are capable, you will be put to good use if you come under His Majesty's command."
Li Buyi shook his head and said: "No, you are wrong. His Majesty, Emperor Daqian, is the real talent and the true Holy Lord."
Tie Zhong did not admit it and refuted it.
Both of them had their own thoughts, expounding their ideas and stalling for time.
Li Buyi wasted a lot of words and sighed: "It seems that you are stubborn and unwilling to change. In this case, I can only kill you to report to His Majesty. It is a pity that you did not drink the toast and were punished with wine. All this It’s all yourselves’ fault.”
"Hahaha……"
Tie Zhong laughed loudly.
The laughter is very confident.
His ears twitched and he said in a loud voice: "Zhonggu Mountain, Zhonggu Mountain, you said that I would drink fine wine instead of toasting you, but I would instead say that you will destroy yourself. In this case, I can only help you."
"You, listen carefully."
"got windy!"
Tie Zhong looked extremely proud.
Boom! !
There was the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
Under the night, torches burned, dispersing the darkness. Two thousand cavalry led by Kong Fanxi had already arrived.
Li Buyi looked horrified and said in shock: "You still have people and ambushes? Withdraw your troops, withdraw your troops immediately, withdraw quickly and inform your majesty to defend, someone is coming to attack the camp."
After saying that, Li Buyi turned around and ran away with his men.
A large number of soldiers evacuated.
Tie Zhong led his men to catch up.
At the same time, Kong Fanxi and his cavalry also caught up, and soon pursued further.
Kong Fanxi was fast. After catching up with Tiezhong, he briefly understood the situation and praised: "Tiezhong, you did a very good job. Because you delayed Zhao Shan's sentinels and prevented Zhao Shan from knowing our plans in advance. Whereabouts. This time, I’ll take credit from you!”
Tie Zhong said modestly: "General, you have given me the reward."
"Chase, run at full speed, and go directly to Zhao Shan's camp."
Kong Fanxi ordered loudly.
His idea was very simple, that is, to kill Zhao Shan's sentinels in one go, and then make a surprise attack on Zhao Shan's camp to lure out Zhao Shan's troops and further win this battle.
Kong Fanxi led his men to chase them all the way. After running for less than half a quarter of an hour, they were getting closer and closer to Li Buyi and others. Kong Fanxi even said loudly: "People in front of you, listen, you have been overtaken. If you cannot escape, surrender immediately, otherwise we will kill you without mercy."
Just in time, Li Buyi turned around and stopped.
Li Buyi grinned and said loudly: "We still can't decide who will kill whom?"
"Archers, shoot!"
After giving the order, countless archers appeared on both sides of the official road, aiming at the running cavalry under Kong Fanxi's command.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!"
Dense bows and arrows rose into the sky and shot towards the cavalry under Kong Fanxi's command.
Arrows rained down, falling on the crowd, either hitting soldiers or horses, causing the neighing of the horses and the screams of the cavalry to complement each other, and countless people screamed and screamed.
Kong Fanxi's soldiers suffered numerous casualties.
Kong Fanxi's face was livid, and his expression was even more angry. He thought he was plotting against the other party, but to his surprise, he turned out to be the one being plotted against.
It's too awful!
Kong Fanxi did not kill directly.
According to the original plan, he would attack Zhao Shan's camp to feint attack, draw out Zhao Shan's troops, and then use the cavalry arranged by Qin Cheng and Huang Danqing to destroy the enemy.
Now that we can't go to Zhao Shan's camp, we will first use the troops of Qin Cheng and Huang Danqing to further destroy this cavalry group.
"Withdraw troops, retreat immediately!"
Kong Fanxi ordered loudly.
As the order was issued, everyone began to retreat away from the official road, unwilling to go further to fight.
The army adjusted its direction and evacuated. Li Buyi saw this scene without any panic in his eyes, because Fang Weihu had expected it.
I deduced the situation in the afternoon and had already considered everything.
Li Buyi said decisively: "Chase, chase with all your strength, kill Liu Fuquan's remnants, kill!"
Li Buyi rushed forward with his men, and at the same time, more cavalry came out behind him and began a large-scale cover-up.
Some distance ahead, Li Buyi was ambushing him with sentries.
This location was where some of Li Buyi's cavalry and a small number of archers were hiding. Now Li Buyi gave the order, and everyone started to attack, following Li Buyi to cover up and kill them.
