Before he finished speaking, he could hardly draw out his sword. The sword flashed across Balshan's neck. With just one blow, Balshan's head was cut off. The headless body was still on the horse with its hands clasped and shaking. After a few blows, he fell down.
Ji Nan did not return the sword to its sheath, but rubbed it twice on the saddle to wipe away the blood. He roared to the left and right: "If anyone disobeys the order again, Balshan will be punished! Send the order and the whole army deploys, Outflank both wings, and the cavalry in the center will attack with me and crush the enemy's formation!"
In the dense forest, Lu Xun sighed: "A general cannot attack because he is angry. It is difficult to call him a famous general after all."
Sun En curled his lips: "But after all, he has ten times the strength of Liu Yu. Now he is surrounded by two wings of troops. This can maximize his numerical advantage. This is the right approach."
Xu Daofu smiled and said: "That's right, we should have fought like this a long time ago. I think Liu Yu is just being mysterious. His heavy infantry can't outrun the cavalry, so we can only fight hard here. How can there be any reinforcements?"
Lu Xun sighed: "Junior brother Xu, we have been to Liu Yu's camp. Didn't he have a carriage or a horse? Even a recruit knows that these are needed to deal with the cavalry. If Liu Yu didn't have full strength, Be sure, will you not bring these?"
Xu Daofu was speechless for a moment. Sun En frowned: "Yes, I have been wondering about this question. Could it be that Liu Yu deliberately showed weakness to lure the enemy to attack?"
Lu Xun nodded: "From the beginning to the end, Liu Yu has always been guarding the area between the grassy area and the plain. Even if he attacks on the plain, he will stop briefly and quickly withdraw. If this happens once, it may be because of insufficient bows and arrows. But if this pattern has been repeated two or three times in a row, there is only one explanation, which is to lure the enemy to attack, and it is not an attack of one or two thousand people at a time, but a full-line attack with the entire army dispatched!"
Sun En said seriously: "So, Liu Yu's ambush is here in the grass?"
Lu Xun sighed: "That's right. A large number of cavalry cannot be ambushed in the grass, but light infantry can be used. The cavalry cannot see the enemy in the grass and cannot exert its speed advantage. If there are light infantry here, then We can use this terrain to severely damage the cavalry."
Sun En's expression changed, and he looked at the six or seven thousand flanking cavalry far away in the grass facing the two wings, and said: "There are six or seven thousand cavalry here, can they really eat it?"
Lu Xun's expression was solemn: "The cavalry that cannot charge are still light cavalry such as the Huns cavalry. When encountering an ambush, I'm afraid it doesn't take three thousand people to destroy them. Moreover, it is difficult for the banner to attack Liu Yu's From the front, I don’t have the time or energy to direct the outflanking troops on both wings, and just leave them alone. If I encounter an ambush, I’m afraid I won’t even have time to react!”
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of an arrow streaking across the sky. Lu Xun's expression changed: "Look, the ambush is about to be launched!"
I saw thousands of Qin army cavalry who had all rushed into the grass area. Suddenly, countless people wearing thatch camouflage appeared around them. These people wore straw rings on their heads and held special long swords in their hands. Spears and machetes are different from ordinary spears. These spears are not more than four meters long, but just over one meter, which is equivalent to ordinary spears. However, after the three-edged spear head, there are two branches that bend inward. , the inside is a sharp edge.
As soon as these ambush troops were launched, they rushed towards the Qin Army cavalry who were huddled in the grass. The Qin Army cavalry drew their weapons and wanted to fight with them, but these infantrymen did not stab the cavalry on their horses at all. Instead, he stretched out these short hooks and stabbed directly into the legs of the war horse.
Only the neighing sounds of the war horses were heard one after another, and the knights on the horses who could still be seen in the long grass that was more than half the height of a man suddenly disappeared, almost disappearing in the grass row by row.
Sun En was stunned. He had never seen such a battle before, and his voice was a little abnormal: "What is going on? Liu Yu, Liu Yu, does he have any magic skills? Those Qin army cavalry, how come they are like this?" , why is it gone like this?!”
Xu Daofu gritted his teeth, and his eyes were always the best among the three brothers: "Elder brother, I can see clearly that the weapons in the hands of these ambush soldiers are not ordinary weapons, they seem to be specially made to deal with cavalry. It's not like a spear, because it has an undercut. Instead of stabbing people, they hook the horse's leg. As soon as the horse's leg is hooked by these sharp blades, it will be cut off, and the cavalry on the horse will naturally fall off."
Lu Xun frowned and pointed at a tall and burly figure among the grass: "How could it be him? Liu Jingxuan?!"
Sun En and others looked over and saw Liu Jingxuan, who was nearly nine feet tall. He was holding a Bailiansu iron sword with both sides open in his hand. He was jumping around in the grass. Almost every time he jumped, he jumped. It was a scream, accompanied by a burst of blood arrows. You didn't need to look to know that this must be the cavalry who had fallen to the ground. He rushed to his side and killed him with a knife. The rider who fell from the horse had difficulty getting up from the ground. How can he still stop these sharp and dancing warriors? In the blink of an eye, Liu Jingxuan led the ambush in the grass and killed more than half of the more than 3,000 Qin army cavalry who circled to the left. The remaining more than a thousand cavalry saw that the situation was not good, and they all fought to the left. He rushed to the right, trying to escape from this grassland.
But they had just returned to their horses and rushed to the right. That was the only area without an ambush. It was also the only way for these panicked Qin army cavalry to escape. After running not many steps, they heard a loud bang, and the entire The ground seemed to be sinking, and six or seven hundred horsemen, just like Na Duyan's men that day, fell into a huge horse trap, with smoke and dust filling the area within a hundred steps. With a strong smell of blood, the scene was like Shura Hell, unspeakably miserable.
The ambush infantry of the Jin army rushed to the trap with shouts. They picked up the bows and arrows on their backs and fired a bunch of random arrows at the enemy cavalry who were screaming and wailing inside the trap. The sergeants beside the pit threw the straw bags and sandbags filled with soil that they had prepared long ago directly into the pit. It was like a trap to kill. In just a moment, thousands of sandbags were thrown into this big pit. In the pit, soon, even the screams and wailing sounds could no longer be heard.
Ju Nan couldn't close his mouth anymore. The outflanking force on the left wing, more than 3,000 cavalry, was wiped out in less than a quarter of an hour. There were not even a few people who escaped. This shocked him so much that he forgot Suddenly, he realized the danger and shouted: "Quickly issue an order to the right army and ask them to withdraw!"
