Yang Qing nodded and then ordered: "Lei Xiong, Dong Xuan and the Guli clan leader?"
The three of them responded in unison: "Yes."
"I order you three to lead eight hundred sword and shield bearers and two thousand five hundred Qiang soldiers to attack the rebels in the south of the city on the left and right wings."
"promise."
Yang Qing looked at the three of them and smiled and said: "Clan Chief Guli, Meng Lie, Xiaoming, your combined strength can be 3,300, plus the defenders in the south of our city, our strength is already more than that of the thieves. The surprise attack plus the internal and external forces Under the pincer attack, I hope the three of us can fight quickly and annihilate the enemy in the south of the city in one fell swoop."
"Hey, Mr. Fu, don't worry. I, Lao Lei, haven't fought this kind of rich battle for a long time. If I can't win even this, I will come to see Mr. Fu." Lei Xiong said with his hand in hand.
Dong Xuan, who was on the side, saw Lei Xiong express his stance and was not to be outdone. He also held up his hands and said, "The same goes for someone."
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, our Gu Li Department will die for our service." Gu Lichi said equally firmly.
"Okay, now I can rest assured. After the enemy in the south of the city is defeated, you and others will immediately go to the north city to surround and annihilate E Huan."
"promise."
After the battle arrangements in the south of the city were completed, Yang Qing pointed to the north wall on the map and said, "Xu Hui, Lu Shun?"
"exist."
"Order you two to lead your troops and horses to avoid the enemy in the east of the city and retreat to the flank of E Huan's tribe. But when you hear the sound of drums in the south of the city, you two can lead your troops to fight out and attack Zhang Boqi inside and outside the city."
"I will obey the Lord's order."
Yang Qing added: "According to reports, there are about 2,000 enemies in the south of the city. The two of you, with your troops and horses plus the defenders in the city, only have 1,500 people. Attack the enemy with the few and hold them back first." , do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, we will definitely be able to hold off until the reinforcements arrive." Xu Hui replied.
Yang Qing was still confident that they could hold back E Huan. Firstly, there was not much difference in military strength. Secondly, Zhang Ni and Xu Hui were both mature and prudent people. Thirdly, if the enemy was attacked, the morale of the army would be in chaos. With so many favorable factors, Below, dealing with the enemy in the north is not a big problem.
"The tasks of each department have been determined, so let's get ready to go." Seeing that the deployment was completed, Yang Qing did not delay and immediately asked everyone to go back and make arrangements.
"De Mao, please go down and the army will set off in a quarter of an hour."
Zhou Xing cupped his fists and responded, "No."
"Come on, come on quickly." The deputy general drew his sword and shouted while waving it.
Under the suppression of the superior force of the Yi people, the fortifications of the two camps outside the southern city have been seriously damaged.
The experienced Feng Ying was unwilling to let go of this good opportunity and decided to continue the attack with more troops without giving the officers and soldiers any chance to breathe. He thought that at least one camp would be taken out before nightfall today.
"General, there are no less than a thousand of our troops in each of the two enemy camps. It is expected that the Han people will not be able to defend for a long time. I think they will be able to defeat the enemy before tonight." After the deputy general was ordered to mobilize his troops, he immediately urged his horse to come to Feng Ying and said.
Feng Ying looked at the attacking army on the opposite side and felt satisfied in her heart. She smiled slightly and said, "I hope so."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a burst of passionate drumming suddenly sounded behind him, which almost made him jump off his horse.
This was the drum sound of the Han army's attack, which he was most familiar with, and because of his quick reaction, he immediately realized that the enemy was coming.
As soon as he turned his head, before he could take a firm look, he heard a loud killing sound, and a cloud of dust rose up behind him, vaguely showing that a large group of people were attacking from the left and right.
Feng Ying exclaimed: "There are enemy troops, there are enemy troops." After shouting, he drew his saber and shouted to the deputy general: "Quick, order the army to form a formation to meet the enemy, quick."
The lieutenant general had already been stunned on the spot. Hearing his general's urging, he realized and went to give the order.
However, the Yi soldiers were not good at formation fighting, and when they saw the enemy troops suddenly coming from behind, they were all frightened and panicked.
Unexpectedly, the Han army was so fast that it was only a stone's throw away from the Yi soldiers in a short time. Feng Ying saw that the enemy troops were approaching suddenly, but his own soldiers were still in chaos, so he quickly ordered the troops to retreat and let the army in front The troops retreated to their own formation.
Because he has clearly seen that the invading enemy's troops are not inferior to his own, and only by gathering the main force can he have the strength to fight.
But how could Lei Xiong and Dong Xuan let Feng Ying get his wish? They were each the vanguard of the left and right armies, and at this time they were like two sharp arrows inserted into the Yi soldiers' formation.
The formation of the barbarian soldiers was disordered, and they were clashed with the officers and soldiers. They couldn't resist it and retreated one after another. Unexpectedly, they happened to collide with the barbarian soldiers who were retreating from the front.
Being attacked suddenly, the Yi soldiers were already panicking. Now the two groups were mixed together, and they couldn't gather any formation. The whole army was scattered, and they couldn't save each other.
When Captain Li, who was on the camp outside the city, saw that reinforcements had arrived, he immediately ordered the 300 defenders who could still kill the enemy to leave the camp, formed a long formation, and attacked behind the enemy.
There were not many of them, so in order to avoid casualties, they just moved forward slowly and shot the enemy with crossbows. Even so, under internal and external attacks, the morale of the barbarian soldiers plummeted and they suffered heavy casualties.
Feng Ying originally wanted to lead the hundreds of people around him who had barely gathered together to rush forward to buy time for the army to form an array, but Lei Xiong had targeted him early.
With an order, hundreds of armored sword and shield soldiers, led by Lei Xiong, headed straight for Fengying. They were already well-equipped and experienced, and the enemy troops were scattered, making them even more unstoppable.
None of the enemies encountered along the way were invincible. Hundreds of soldiers raised their swords and cut out a bloody passage as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.
Seeing Feng Ying leading hundreds of people and fleeing to the west, being carried away by the rebels, Lei Xiong pulled out his knife from the chest of the barbarian soldier in front of him, pointed to the front, and shouted to the people behind him: "The old man riding the black horse in front is the barbarian." The commander of the army and all the officers and men, follow me and go forward to capture and kill this thief."
After that, Lei Xiong rushed out first, caught up with a Yi soldier and chopped him down with a knife. The soldiers' morale was already high. Seeing how brave their commander was, they all rushed to be first. After a few breaths, they caught up with the hundreds of people led by Feng Ying and started fighting.
At the same time, E Huan's troops in the north of the city were also being attacked from two sides. Although they could barely maintain their position, under the surprise attack, the barbarian troops were in chaos. Although they were more numerous than the official troops, they were beaten back by the official troops. .
"Why is this so? How did the main force of the Han army return to Anshang?" E Huan in the formation kept asking in his heart.
Until now, he was still a little dazed, as if he still couldn't believe that the incident in front of him was true.
Not long ago, when the drumbeats of the Han army's attack came from the south of the city, E Huan thought it was the defenders from the south of the city who had taken the initiative to come out of the city.
Just when he was about to send someone to the south of the city to see what the officers and soldiers were doing, nearly a thousand Han troops suddenly came out of Xixie and came straight to the flank of his own formation.
The Yi soldiers were suddenly attacked. How could they react? They were immediately in chaos. They were easily torn open by Xu Hui and Dong Xuan's troops, and the formation on E Huan's right side was turned upside down.
The barbarian soldiers could not resist and retreated towards the Chinese army, which was also disrupted. Fortunately, E Huan reacted in time and personally drove his horse forward and killed several defeated soldiers before stopping his retreat.
Just as he was about to mobilize his troops to attack the city to surround and annihilate the Han army, he suddenly heard a bang on the opposite city wall. Then the city gate opened wide and the drawbridge was slowly lowered. It turned out that the defenders were led by a general. Go out of the city and kill.
