However, the horses were enjoying their meal and the Yi soldiers were unable to move. When they saw that all the officers and soldiers were ambush, they immediately became chaotic.
"Fire arrows."
Liu Yin gave an order, the flag waved, and hundreds of arrows rained down from the mountains on both sides in an instant.
"Ah, ah..." The barbarian soldiers were unable to stop them, and in an instant, more than a hundred people fell from their horses.
"Let it go, let it go again." Soon, another round of arrow rain fell from the sky, causing a lot of damage to the barbarian soldiers in the valley.
"Kill, kill with me."
After several rounds of arrows, Badi led the Qiang soldiers to rush down from the hilltop on the left. Although they were a little slow in obeying the order, the Qiang soldiers were used to climbing over mountains and ridges, and now they were the first to kill the Yi soldiers. .
Not only did the barbarian soldiers suffer heavy losses and were in no position, it was extremely difficult to turn their horses around. When encountering a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, the Qiang soldiers were unable to resist, and many of them died and fell off their horses in a short time.
"Rush, rush."
At this time, Liu Yin and Shen Da also led their troops to kill them. They waited for work and ambush here. The morale of the Yi soldiers was greatly reduced and they were no match at all.
Liu Yin's men were all spearmen, and they specialized in poking at the barbarian soldiers on horseback. All the cavalrymen fell down, either dead or captured.
If Liu Yin hadn't cared about the horses, Shen Da's crossbowmen would have chopped off the horses' hooves with their swords. At the moment, they just surrounded and killed the Yi soldiers who jumped off their horses to resist. Although they were not professional swordsmen, they were still under the victory at this moment. Unstoppable.
Just as the Yi soldiers were being slaughtered, another cry of killing came from the valley ahead. It turned out that it was Feng Chong who led his troops and abandoned their horses and ran towards them. Seeing this, the Yi soldiers lost all their fighting spirit. Now there is no way out in all directions. How can there be any way to escape?
Gao Chong was protected by his personal guards in the middle. He sat on the horse as if he were dead, knowing that he was doomed tonight.
With a wry smile on his face, he looked around and saw that there were less than a hundred soldiers around him. He was lamenting in his heart. He wanted to defeat the Han army tonight, but he fell into a trap and was defeated by the enemy. It would be a pity to die.
"Hahaha..." Gao Zhong suddenly raised his head and laughed, causing everyone around him to look in surprise.
I saw him holding the sword across his neck, and said loudly and sadly: "Brother, I'm sorry for you, I will die to thank you." After saying this, he cut himself to death with a powerful stroke.
Gao Zhong was dead, and except for a few of them, the rest of the Yi soldiers had no fighting spirit and all dismounted and abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Soon the officers and soldiers annihilated the dozens of people who were still resisting and ended the fighting.
"This man is also a good man. I have ordered him to be buried with dignity." Liu Yin walked up to Gao Zhong's corpse and took a look at it. He sighed and ordered to his guards.
At this time, Shen Da, Feng, Chong, and Buddy also came over. The four generals looked at each other, and then shouted in unison: "Brothers, we have won."
"Victory, victory, victory..." Upon hearing this, all the troops cheered loudly, waving their weapons and flags.
It was already dawn, and the officers and soldiers who had fought fiercely all night were still sleeping and resting. Only two generals, Liu Yin and Shen Da, got up again soon after they rested to discuss the next step in the military situation.
Looking at Shen Da's two dark circles, Liu Yin asked with concern: "It's still early, why don't Brother Botong sleep a little longer?"
Shen Da smiled and said: "Haha, I can't sleep, I might as well get up and talk to you."
"I think brother is too excited to sleep." Liu Yin also smiled.
"In this battle, except for a dozen Yi soldiers who luckily escaped over the mountain, nearly eight hundred Yi cavalry were annihilated by us. It is truly a rare victory. Thinking of this, haha, how can Shen still sleep? "
Liu Yin nodded, and he was also very happy in his heart. Yes, the hard work and design finally achieved success in one fell swoop, and the stone that weighed on his heart finally fell. At this moment, he did not feel tired at all, but felt relaxed.
"Yes, fortunately nothing happened, otherwise I would have failed the master's clever plan." Liu Yin said easily: "That's it, we finally have the face to go back to see the master."
"More than just face, with such a great victory, the Lord will definitely..." Shen Da smiled and said: "Huh? Another one who can't sleep."
"Liu Sima, Shen Sima." Feng Chong stepped forward to greet them.
"No need to be polite, Feng Qu has worked hard all night, why not take a rest?" Liu Yin said.
"Thank you Sima Liu for your concern. I have had enough sleep in my humble position."
"Haha, I see you have harvested more than 600 military horses. You must be so excited that you can't sleep." Shen Da said through Feng Chong's thoughts.
Feng Chong smiled: "Hehe, Shen Sima still understands the humble position."
"Well, with these horses, we can form two cavalrymen after we return. Congratulations to Chief Feng Qu," Liu Yin said.
The two cavalry are one. If they are built together, the Sima of this cavalry must be Feng Chong, so Liu Yin's words are to congratulate him on his promotion in advance. Shen Da was not a stupid person and immediately congratulated him.
The three of them exchanged a few words and then began to discuss the next step.
Liu Yin pointed to the unfolded map and said: "Now that all the high and heavy troops have been wiped out, only the enemies within Anshang's territory are left. At this moment, the enemies below Anshang's city have probably been annihilated. The Lord of Fu must have led his army back to Ding." Jiacun confronts the main force of haute couture.
If there were no accidents last night, Gaoding might have suffered another setback. As a result, Gaoding suffered heavy losses and had no chance of defeating our army, so it had to withdraw its troops and return to Qiongdu. Therefore, we should block their way back according to Fu Jun's plan, and wait for Fu Jun's army to arrive before annihilating them. "
Shen Da nodded repeatedly and said: "Xiuran is right, but the two people under my command have not returned yet. I wonder if the fire attack plan last night was successful? Is there any accident?"
According to the plan, Zhuo He and his men would lead their troops to set fire to the camp and then evacuate to join Shen Da, Liu Yin and the others. But who would have expected that Yang Qing arrived just in time last night. Seeing that the arrival of their own army was a good opportunity to annihilate Gaoding, the two of them stopped retreating and instead went down the mountain to help the army.
Liu Yin pondered for a long time and said: "Nothing should happen. Even if the fire attack strategy does not work, there is no problem for them to withdraw safely. I am afraid it was delayed due to something."
Although Shen Da was still worried, he stopped mentioning the matter and pointed at the map and asked: "Where should I go next to stop Gao Ding from escaping?"
Liu Yin said: "The Lord asked us to make our own decision after completing the task of attacking the camp and annihilating the Yiqi. The situation at Gaoding is unclear at the moment. To be cautious, we should go to Jinji Ridge to garrison first." After that, in the picture. Dot the black circle under the words Jinjiling.
"If the enemy army wants to escape from the official road, it must pass through it. We can't give up. What do you three think?" Liu Yin continued. He asked the three people, and it turned out that Buddy had also arrived, so he asked.
Shen Da stared at the map, nodded and said, "Agree." Feng Chong and Badi had no objections and immediately agreed.
"Sima Shen..." Suddenly a personal guard walked up to Shen Da, lowered his head and whispered.
"Why don't you let people come over?" Shen Da shouted after hearing this. The guard waved his hand, and a sergeant came over.
Shen Da knew that this person was a personal soldier of his subordinate, the commander of the village named He. However, even though he was his subordinate, he still checked the token token before he began to ask questions with confidence.
Waving his hand to signal the soldier to go down and rest, Shen Da opened the wooden box dripping with intact fire paint, took out the book slips inside and read: "Last night's fire attack plan was completed, and the main force of the prefect happened to come back, intercept and kill him in one fell swoop. The thieves were defeated, and more than half of Gaoding's main force was destroyed and now they are huddled in their camp."
After hearing this, Liu Yin and the three of them all burst into laughter. Not only were they relieved, but they were also excited that their side had achieved such great results.
Shen Da smiled and said: "You three, here is the letter from the prince, I'll take a look at it first."
After speaking, he opened a wooden box with the seal of the prefect on it, which was also brought by Yang Qing's personal soldier.
Shen Da unfolded the slip and saw that it read: Last night I defeated the main force of Gaoding, leaving only four to five thousand soldiers and horses, and no longer capable of fighting. I predict that he will definitely escape back to Qiongdu in the next two days. I will order you and others to go to the lower village of Jinjiling first to prevent him from escaping south.
"Okay, it seems that Mr. Fu and I have decided to go together." Shen Da looked at it and said with a smile, stroking his hands.
Liu Yin said: "Since the Lord has also ordered to be stationed at Jinji Ridge, we will gather our troops and set off immediately without further delay."
After saying that, the four of them went their separate ways. More than half an hour later, more than 1,500 sergeants in the valley set off towards Jinji Ridge at the junction of Xindao and Anshang counties.
