Zhu Hao looked at Liu Pan who was tired of fighting, and knew that he was being tough, so he wanted to continue to persuade him to surrender.
At this time, a horseman pointed to the south and said in a panic: "Lord, there is an ambush on the south side!"
Zhu Hao followed the man's direction and saw hundreds of Jingzhou soldiers and horses emerging from the south, heading towards his central army.
This Liu Pan is still hiding an ambush here?
Zhu Hao was shocked and looked north again.
Fortunately, there was no ambush coming from the north, otherwise his forward-protruding Chinese army would have been attacked from both sides.
Zhu Hao looked around, but he never saw the flag of his right army. "Where is Zuo Rong? Why hasn't he followed my father's army yet?"
When Liu Pan's ambush troops were all out, Yu Zi smiled and said: "General, look, the enemy has an ambush!"
Zuo Rong also laughed loudly and said: "My Buddha is merciful. The calamity that I was going to suffer in Moling turned out to be the fruit of my karma here."
"Give me the order and the entire army will advance immediately!"
"You like to set up ambushes, don't you? As karma is karma, I will let you taste the feeling of being surrounded!"
Zuo Rong gave the order, and thousands of soldiers and horses under his command rushed to the battlefield.
Liu Pan's planned ambush was originally intended to ambush with Zuo Rong's army. Therefore, he deliberately led the Jingzhou Army on the surface to move to the center, just to attract Zuo Rong into the encirclement.
But he didn't expect that Zuo Rong had been ambushed by Sun Ce in Moling. He was frightened by this move and did not fall for it.
Originally, if Liu Pan could defeat Peng Cai and Li Yu and establish an advantage before Zhu Hao's Chinese army arrived, there would still be a buffer.
But Liu Pan, who beheaded Li Yu in a single encounter, did not expect that he would fall short against Peng Cai, allowing him to hold on until Zhu Hao arrived, and even himself was surrounded by Zhu Hao's fine cavalry.
With no choice but to lead the ambush, the deputy general of the Jingzhou Army had no choice but to rush out in advance to help Liu Pan.
Although this move caught Zhu Hao's Chinese army off guard, Liu Pan's side did not have the numerical advantage after all. Zhu Haojun quickly reacted and after retreating for a while, he slowly stabilized his position.
At this time, as long as they persist until Zuo Rong's left army joins the battlefield, they can counterattack and surround Liu Pan's troops.
…
At this time, Yuan Yao from the heights saw that Zuo Rong's army finally joined the battle group, and immediately clapped his hands and said: "Well, although Zhuge Xuan did not lure the enemy deep, at least Liu Pan has defeated Zhu Hao and Zuo Rong's main forces. Attracted, we can decide the outcome in one battle!"
In this battle, Zhuge Xuan and Zhu Hao each served as their own central army, and Zuo Rong's army was the left army against Liu Pan's army. One of Zhu Hao's captains led the right army to contain Yuan Yao's army.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Xuan lost his mind and did not stick to the strategy of luring the enemy deep. Instead, he attacked rashly, resulting in a huge defeat and the total loss of the Chinese army.
Yuan Yao was originally prepared to retreat, but he didn't expect Liu Pan to dare to fight one against two and take the initiative to lure the enemy.
This person is indeed as Huang Zhong commented: brave and good at fighting, and loves to fight bravely.
When Zhu Hao ordered the entire army to attack, the captain of the right army immediately led his troops to feign an attack to contain Yuan Yao.
Therefore, Yuan Yao ordered Lu Dai at the front to resist while slowly retreating, slowly leading Zhu Hao's right army to the place where Huang Zhong set up an ambush.
And after some testing, Yuan Yao found that the combat effectiveness of Zhu Hao's right army was very average, and it was completely a partial force.
Now we only need to let Huang Zhong, who is ambushing, and Lu Dai, who is facing the front, quickly deal with Zhu Hao's right army, and then work with Liu Pan to destroy Zhu Hao, and everything will be settled.
Yuan Yao drew out his saber and waved an order: "Now, order Huang Zhong to attack quickly!"
The drummer behind Yuan Yao immediately raised his arms and beat the drums quickly.
Huang Zhong, who was lying in ambush in the low-lying bushes in the distance, got the order and immediately got on his horse. He drew his sword and first opened the tight cloth strip in the mouth of the horse under his crotch, and then swung the sword forward.
"Archer, shoot!"
Huang Zhong gave an order, and five hundred archers who could shoot two-stone bows came out in response. They twisted arrows, attached bows and pulled strings in one go, and immediately completed a volley of shots.
As a result, Zhu Hao's right army became the target of target practice for Huang Zhong's new recruits.
One round of volley shot down dozens of Zhu Hao's soldiers, and before the soldiers next to him could react, the second wave of arrows flew over his head.
In just a few breaths, Huang Zhong caused hundreds of casualties to Zhu Hao's partial army.
Perhaps because he felt that his recruits' hit rate was not high, or perhaps because he felt that such dry shooting was not enough, Huang Zhong waved his sword again and shouted:
"My sons, I have been training you for more than a month, and now it is time for you to show your true skills!"
"Come and kill with me!"
Huang Zhong gave an order, and the rest of the soldiers immediately stood up, passed by the archers who were still firing arrows, and followed Huang Zhong to kill Zhu Hao's right army.
"Where did the arrows come from? Did the blind archers behind miss the enemy and hit us?"
"Ah, my knee, I got an arrow in my knee, please save me!"
"This group of fearful ghosts only knew how to hide behind during the war, but they also shot arrows randomly. I will sue Governor Zhu for their crimes!"
"Captain, this is not an arrow coming from behind, this is coming from the north!"
"There is an ambush, and we are ambushed!"
"We are surrounded, run!"
…
Although most of Huang Zhong's men were new soldiers recruited in the past two months, Yuan Yao was not worried at all about Huang Zhong's ability to train troops.
The soldiers under his opponent Zhu Hao were also recruited by Zhu Hao in recent months. They had never been on the battlefield, but they had only been trained for three or four months more than Huang Zhong's soldiers.
Even for an embroidered pillow like Yuan Yao that was originally worthless, Huang Zhong was able to let Yuan Yao fight three ordinary soldiers in close combat with a knife within two months. His archery skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he could kill two stones. The bow is guaranteed to hit the target within fifty steps.
Let alone the question of whether the more than two thousand new troops he trained day and night could defeat Zhu Haojun.
Moreover, being an ambush means you have the upper hand, which is more friendly to the new recruits. If this doesn't work well, Huang Zhong, don't mess around anymore.
