All the Han troops came from the diagonal stab and immediately killed all the Yi soldiers until they fought independently. The Han army rushed back and forth until the Yi soldiers could not form a formation. The Yi soldiers were already burned by the fire and everyone was injured. At this time, no one was willing to turn around and fight.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Gao Ding had no choice but to lead his guards and rush forward. For a while, people were shouting and horses were neighing. The barbarian soldiers everywhere were rushed to death in the dark and had no power to resist, so they had to flee in all directions.
The Han army led the soldiers to intercept and kill one after another. It was not until the fourth watch that the men and horses were exhausted, and most of the soldiers were exhausted. They rushed back to the old stronghold, and then they barely got a chance to breathe.
Gao Ding finally rushed back to the old camp under the protection of Huo Yuan and others. He immediately calmed down and asked people to guard the camp gate. Fortunately, the Han army only charged back and forth on the way and had no intention of capturing the camp, so the Yi soldiers had a temporary refuge.
"Master Fu, where will I stay tonight?" Zhang Ni asked Yang Qing.
Yang Qing stopped his mount, looked at the fleeing barbarian soldiers and said, "Forget it, let's build a camp outside Dingjia Village. Now, it's better to lead more troops and annihilate the barbarian soldiers."
As the fire spread from the Dingjiacun camp, there were still barbarian soldiers escaping. The barbarian general who stayed behind heard the sound of fighting coming from the front. He was confused and had not yet made up his mind whether to stay or leave.
But the more he listened, the more frightened he became. The Han people's killing cries could be heard far away, but his own shouts of killing became weaker and weaker. Even after a while, he seemed to hear a few cheers from the Han people.
No, we can't wait here any longer.
The barbarian general looked at the barbarian soldiers around him and saw that there were nearly a thousand people. He immediately couldn't bear it anymore, clenched his fists, and decided to lead his troops to the front to help in the battle.
Unexpectedly, before he had organized his troops, two Han troops commanded by Zhang Yi had already arrived. Under the surprise attack, these Yi soldiers, who had just escaped from the fire, were no match for the official army.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the Han army rushed into the enemy group, the Yi soldiers were no longer able to fight back. They dispersed like birds and beasts. The Han soldiers slaughtered almost one-sidedly, killing the Yi soldiers until corpses were scattered all over the field and rivers of blood flowed.
It wasn't until Yang Qing led the rear troops to arrive and ordered them to surrender to avoid death that the names of two to three hundred barbarian soldiers were left.
"Master Fu, how is the situation at Gaoding?" Zhang Yi walked over and asked while putting the knife back into its sheath.
Yang Qingdao: "I tried to attack once, but the guy hid in the camp and didn't dare to come out. It's too dark. Let's forget about it tonight. We'll make plans tomorrow. I've left someone to watch over there."
After that, he looked at the faint blood seeping out of Zhang Ni's left arm and asked, "Are you injured? Is it serious?"
Zhang Yi glanced at the wound, shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's just a scratch. Don't worry, Mr. Fu."
Yang Qing nodded, and said with concern: "Don't be careless, it will be better to reapply the dressing and bandage later."
"yes."
"Alas, what a pity this camp is!" Looking at the camp where the fire was still burning, Yang Qing sighed.
Zhang Ni said: "Thanks to this fire, we won tonight's great victory. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with these eight or nine thousand barbarian soldiers."
"Yes, speaking of it, tonight's victory was really a result of luck." Yang Qing smiled.
Zhang Ni said: "This is also due to the master's clever plan. Without this fire attack plan, our army would definitely not have achieved the results tonight."
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Maybe so."
It turned out that Yang Qing and others were not prepared to ambush Gaoding on their way back. They just marched from Anshang and happened to catch up with the Yi soldiers retreating to their old camp.
Of course, Yang Qing knew that Gao Ding and other generals would fall into the trap after dark as planned, and he also wanted to catch up to see if there was any chance.
Unexpectedly, after Tan Ma reported back, he realized that the timing was such a coincidence, so he made a prompt decision and sent troops to ambush on the road, thus killing Gaoding and defeating him.
Yang Qing stood on a high place with his sword and looked at the night sky, thinking that tonight's battle was a coincidence or a coincidence, but it was more about strategy and hard work. Only then did he achieve results that far exceeded his previous plans, but he didn't know yet. How many men and horses the soldiers lost, but Gao Ding, who was ten miles away, should have an idea.
In the barbarian camp, Gao Ding sat on the couch panting, his face still full of panic, obviously he had not recovered yet.
This night was full of twists and turns for him, with ups and downs, great sadness and great joy. Even a hero like him couldn't help but feel tired and confused at this moment.
Fortunately, he was the leader of hundreds of thousands of old people after all, so he finally calmed down after drinking some water.
"What's the situation outside?" Gao Ding asked Huo Yuan, who had just made a fortune.
Huo Yuan quickly replied: "The last general is here to report to the king. The officers and soldiers have already retreated."
The officers and soldiers retreated, and there was no danger tonight. Gao Ding felt a little relieved and said, "That's good. How are the boys and men doing?"
"General Agunan is calming the sergeants, and the troops have barely stabilized."
Just before the official army attacked the Yi camp, Gaoding was already in chaos, so he gave full command to Agu Nan.
It was this person who responded promptly and commanded well, otherwise Yang Qing and the others would have driven their troops to break through Gaoding's camp.
Tonight, among the Yi soldiers, Agunan performed best. After the officers and soldiers retreated, he went to arrange the troops. He made arrangements for treatment, defense, rest, etc. in an orderly manner. He can be said to be the backbone of the Yi camp today.
Seeing his subordinates growing up through experience, Gao Ding was also pleased and said: "Call A Gu Nan in."
"yes."
After a while, Agunan arrived at the tent and saluted. Gao Ding quickly stood up to support him and motioned for him to sit down.
"Ah Gu Nan, thank you for your hard work." Gaoding said while pouring him water: "Tonight our army really depends on you. If it weren't for your command, my head would no longer be on my neck."
Seeing that Gao Ding was being treated so generously and praised so highly, Agu Nan quickly stood up and worshiped: "This is also the great king's great blessing. The general is just doing it reluctantly. Fortunately, he has not missed a big event, so how can he dare to take credit?" With that, Agunan knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Gao Ding didn't know what he meant, and glanced at Huo Yuan beside him suspiciously. Huo Yuan shook his head and didn't know why. Gao Ding had no choice but to ask: "A Gu Nan, what are you doing?"
"If it hadn't been for the general's plan to capture the Han camp, how could there have been such a big defeat tonight? Your Majesty just entrusted me with the credit. I'm so ashamed of myself. The general's death alone can't atone for his sins."
It turned out that this was the reason why he knelt down and kowtowed. Gao Ding quickly helped him up and sighed: "How can I blame you? I have already had this intention to capture the Han camp. Even if you didn't tell me, I would still do it. So you don’t have to mind.”
"As for tonight's defeat, it was really the Han people's insidiousness and cunning. Alas, it's also our fault for being careless and not carefully searching the camp, so we fell into the fire attack plan."
Seeing that their king took the blame on themselves, both Agunan and Huoyuan were greatly moved. Agunan cried and worshiped again: "Your Majesty is excusing the general in this way. The general...even if he turns into a corpse, ...It’s hard to repay the king’s love even if his body is shattered into pieces.”
Gao Ding nodded, thinking that this person gave him a surprise tonight. He usually thought that although this person had some brains, he was lonely and isolated, but he didn't expect that this person was not only outstanding in intelligence, but also quite decent in his speech and behavior. Originally I haven't really paid much attention to him yet, but today it seems that this person can become a big help to me in the future.
After Gao Ding thought about it, he helped him up and said, "Okay, let's discuss the rest later." After saying that, he turned to Huo Yuan and asked, "How many troops do we still have in our army?"
Huo Yuan had a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard this, and glanced at Agunan. Seeing that he lowered his head and said nothing, he didn't understand, so he could only hesitate and say: "Well...the soldiers and horses in the old camp are okay... ..The loss is relatively small...it's just the Dingjia Village camp...the camp there...loss...loss..."
Seeing him like this, Gao Ding immediately said angrily: "What are you talking about? How much has been lost? Let's finish it in one breath. I can stand it."
"Only half of the brothers escaped from the Dingjiacun camp. General Agunan also lost more than a thousand soldiers and horses in the old camp." Huo Yuan said quickly.
This morning, Gaoding left three thousand soldiers and horses to guard the old camp. He led more than five thousand people to capture the Dingjiacun camp. According to the situation reported by Huo Yuan, the Yi soldiers suffered a total loss of more than 4,000 people tonight.
A fire tonight caused him to lose almost half of his men. Even though Gao Ding had been prepared, he was shocked and angry at the same time. I saw him trembling all over, swaying a few times, and finally couldn't hold up anymore and fell back.
"King?"
"Your Majesty!"
