At this moment, Huang Yuanzhang wants to kill someone!
Scout Colonel Kong Shenqiu immediately knelt down and said aggrievedly: "Master Hou, I sent 160 scouts to search Songshan, Liangshan and other places to make sure that no ambush troops were found!"
"No discovery?! Then where did these tens of thousands of people come from? Where did they come from! Flying to the sky or hiding on the ground?" Huang Yuanzhang roared.
Kong Shenqiu lowered his head, panicking and looking a little confused.
So many scouts patrolled Songshan, and indeed no one was found, but where did the tens of thousands of people in front of them come from?
I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.
"Come here, take Kong Shenqiu down and hold him temporarily!"
Huang Yuanzhang shouted. He now seriously suspected that Kong Shenqiu was a trickster and had already taken refuge in Ling Ning.
Kong Shenqiu quickly begged: "Master Hou, please spare my life, I was wronged..."
Huang Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked people to drag him down.
Then, Huang Yuanzhang looked at the approaching enemy with an extremely gloomy expression, and immediately ordered the former army general Li Chongfeng to stop attacking the city, and at the same time, he guarded Lishuiguan to prevent the Beiyou army from coming out.
Then he mobilized more troops to face the attack from the rear. He was afraid that Xu Youran's rear army would not be a match for the opponent.
At this time.
Before Huang Yuanzhang could deploy his troops, Ling Ning's army of more than 30,000 soldiers had already arrived.
The army was divided into four parts, like four long dragons, rushing towards Xu Youran's army.
The two armies clashed and a fierce fighting began.
The warriors that come from the system are good, they are brave and good at fighting, and they are not afraid of death.
On the other hand, Xu Youran's soldiers and horses were originally from the rear army and were the weakest in the entire army. Now they were attacked by surprise and had to counterattack. The soldiers were restless. Who was stronger and who was weaker would soon be revealed.
Ling Ning did not play, but the four generals he selected, Zhu Yuan, Xue Niu, Lu Bao, and Cao Hu, were very brave. They were like ten thousand enemies. They led the Ape Army, the Tianniu Army, the Flying Leopard Army, and the White Tiger Army to rush in. The enemy troops were slaughtered in all directions.
Soon, the soldiers and horses of the four armies broke through the opponent's formation, cut up the enemy's formation, and then surrounded and strangled them.
"Not good!" Xu Youran was shocked.
Although his rear army was the weakest in combat effectiveness among the 250,000-strong army, they were all soldiers who had been on the battlefield and should not have been able to break through the formation so easily.
Formation is very important, it is the backbone of an army. Once the formation is broken up, it is equivalent to a broken spine. The soldiers are as confused as headless flies, and their combat effectiveness is at a loss. Then the morale of the army is weakened, and only a rout is left.
Xu Youran immediately ordered people to beat the war drums and tried to regroup the formation, but it was already difficult to do so.
When Huang Yuanzhang saw this scene, his expression became even more gloomy.
He never expected that the rear army would disperse so quickly.
Is this because the enemy army is too strong or our rear army is too weak?
He was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he could only grit his teeth and dispatched left and right troops to support Xu Youran as soon as possible.
This time, Ling Ning's soldiers were not tired of deception and caught Huang Yuanzhang's army off guard, causing the entire army's formation to become somewhat chaotic.
Close the water.
Jia Huaiying stood high and had a panoramic view of Huang Yuanzhang's army. He immediately said to Huo Zilong: "General Huo, let's start!"
Huo Zilong immediately ordered people to open the city gate and led the Beiyou army to fight out.
Some people specialize in burning ladders, flying ladders, carts, bumpers, shield carts and other equipment outside the city.
The remaining people charged with Huo Zilong and killed Li Chongfeng's front army.
Li Chongfeng saw Huo Zilong coming out of seclusion to fight, so he could only fight.
Without a solid city wall to support him, he was not afraid of the Beiyou Army facing a head-on confrontation.
But Li Chongfeng forgot that he could not be afraid, but the former soldiers behind him were not as confident as he was.
These former soldiers were exhausted mentally and physically after struggling to attack the city. Now that a large army came from behind, attacking from both sides, they were already very panicked.
Therefore, facing the Beiyou Army that came out, many soldiers were afraid of fighting.
Li Chongfeng glanced back and felt a little thump in his heart.
broken.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart. He could see the fear of war among his soldiers. This emotion had spread and seriously affected the morale of the soldiers.
In desperation, Li Chongfeng could only bite the bullet and boost morale: "Brothers, the rebels are right in front of you. If you kill them, you will win military honors and shine on your family! For the sake of your wife, children, parents, brothers, follow me and kill the enemy!"
It is also useful to boost morale in front of the battle. These soldiers all know that retreat will be punished by military law. If they attack, they may be able to kill a few more enemies and gain military exploits.
But even if he dares to charge, the fear in his heart is still lingering.
Soon, the Beiyou Army led by Huo Zilong and Li Chongfeng's troops began to clash.
Originally it was you attacking and me defending, but now the situation has completely reversed.
Ling Ning stood on Songshan Mountain and had a clear view of the battlefield.
In the system, beeps kept ringing.
This active attack had a good effect. Huang Yuanzhang's army suffered a lot of casualties, which was not inferior to the casualties in a siege battle.
However, it is impossible to kill Huang Yuanzhang with just a sneak attack of more than 30,000 people.
Huang Yuanzhang still has an army of 110,000 to 20,000 men. He is caught off guard now, but when he adjusts his condition, the current defeat will be reversed.
Therefore, Ling Ning would not let his soldiers sacrifice in vain. He had been waiting for time.
After two sticks of incense.
Just when the battle situation turned and tilted towards Huang Yuanzhang's army, Ling Ning directly ordered the people behind him to blow the retreat horn.
"Woooo..."
The sound of the horn sounded and entered the battlefield, the sound was vast and majestic.
Zhu Yuan, Xue Niu, Lu Bao, and Cao Hu received the signal and immediately led their respective legions to withdraw. They were absolutely unwilling to fight. They firmly remembered Ling Ning's instructions.
I saw the Divine Ape Army, the Tianniu Army, the Flying Leopard Army, and the White Tiger Army retreating in an orderly manner. Among them, the Divine Ape Army and the Tianniu Army retreated toward Songshan in the west. The Flying Leopard Army and the White Tiger Army retreated toward Liangshan in the east.
at the same time.
Huo Zilong is not willing to fight either. The siege equipment in front of the pass has been burned. This is the most important thing. Without these siege equipment, it would be even more difficult for Huang Yuanzhang's army to attack the city.
So Huo Zilong also led his troops back to the pass.
Seeing this scene, Huang Yuanzhang couldn't help the anger in his heart and roared: "Ah——"
His army has just been adjusted and can immediately turn the tide of the battle. The opponent stops fighting and withdraws their troops. How can this be possible!
"Blow the war drums and order the army to take advantage of the situation to pursue!" Huang Yuanzhang ordered.
"Dong dong dong!"
The drum sound representing the pursuit has the sound of a prelude.
On the battlefield, military flags can give orders, as can war drums. The rhythm of the constant falling drums represents different meanings.
After hearing the order to attack, Li Youran, Li Chongfeng and other generals immediately led their troops to pursue them.
After suffering such a big loss this time, we must regain our position.
But alas, they were destined to be disappointed.
Li Chongfeng led his troops to pursue Huo Zilong. When he approached Lishuiguan, he was covered by the terrifying arrow rain on the city wall and the falling boulders, causing countless casualties in an instant.
Even if you don't consider the sacrifice of the pursuit, it will not help. You can only watch Huo Zilong leading his troops into Lishuiguan and watch the heavy city gate close.
Li Youran and other generals divided into two groups to pursue the Ape Army, the Tianniu Army, the Flying Leopard Army, and the White Tiger Army.
But after approaching Songshan and Liangshan, the Shenyuan Army, Tianniu Army, Flying Leopard Army, and White Tiger Army began to use the mountains to counterattack, fighting and retreating.
When this scene fell in Huang Yuanzhang's eyes, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Huang Yuanzhang suddenly worried that there were ambushes in Songshan and Liangshan!
This is probably a trick by the enemy to lure them!
The more I thought about it, the more possible it became, so Huang Yuanzhang ordered:
"Notify me, no need to pursue!"
After the military order was issued, Li Youran and other generals could only lead their troops back and watched helplessly as the enemy retreated into the mountains.
