Chapter 461: scheming(2/2)
After entering Xiaofangchi City, the cavalry split up and fled. Lin Ye took a few hundred people with him and continued to confuse the Beiye Army with this large number of horses.
Lin Ye guessed that the severe winter solstice would definitely chase the banner with the word "Lin".
When being chased, he looked back twice and frowned. He just felt that... the enemy was not chasing him fast enough or far enough.
"Return to the army!"
Yan Dongzhi immediately gave the order, and the cavalry reined in their horses one after another and turned around in a panic.
At the same time, in the east of Xiantang City.
Xu Haoran led more than 2,000 cowardly cavalry and ran all the way, while Luan Wanfu led more than 10,000 Beiye Army cavalry in hot pursuit.
Xu Haoran was not using Lin Ye's banner. If it were Lin Ye's banner, Luan Wanfu might have to be more careful and take it more seriously.
Luan Wanfu's thoughts were exactly the same as Yan Dongzhi. How could he let the enemy escape if he encountered them?
"General, ahead is Niutuo County."
A soldier shouted.
Luan Wanfu also visited Niutuo County a while ago and was raided by Lin Ye's cavalry. The city gates were demolished and the houses were burned to the ground.
It was impossible to defend that place. It was more like a ruins than a county town.
"Go straight after him!"
Luan Wanfu saw the enemy soldiers entering Niutuo County, and he gave the order without any hesitation.
Xu Haoran's team entered the city from the west gate and continued to rush forward along the street without slowing down.
Luan Wanfu led his troops and chased him into the city gate. There were three to four thousand people in the team behind him. At this time, a crowd suddenly appeared on the city wall.
A large number of rolling logs, stone sandbags and other things were pushed down from the city wall, directly cutting off the city gate. Someone poured kerosene on it and lit it on fire. The Beiye Army cavalry could not get closer, and the horses were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.
The people inside the city gate immediately brought a large amount of stones and wood to block the city gate opening.
The cavalrymen in the rear of the Beiye Army were smashed to death. Hundreds of them were killed at the gate of the city. The cavalry behind them immediately reined in their horses and stopped.
"The general is stuck in the city!"
Someone shouted loudly.
The general in the rear immediately gave the order to go around and enter the city through other gates.
At this time, in the ruins of Niutuo County, all the cowardly troops who were ambushing here appeared.
Xu Haoran is the bait, and the teams of Yan Geng and Mo Xucong are already waiting here.
The Northern Field Army cavalry entered the city and formed a long snake-like formation on the street. How could they make timely adjustments?
The ambushes on both sides were raised, and arrows rained down.
In just an instant, less than half of the Beiye Army cavalry that entered the city were defeated.
After Xu Haoran's team stopped, they turned around and fought back. Luan Wanfu was completely blocked in this small county town.
The Beiye army behind divided into two teams, one heading north and one heading south, trying to enter the city through these two city gates to rush for reinforcements.
After arriving, I discovered that both the south and north gates were blocked, so I rushed to the east gate again.
By the time they arrived at the east gate, Luan Wanfu's men had less than a hundred men left, and they were blocked in a small alley.
The Beiye Army cavalry numbering more than 10,000 was forcibly divided by a small county town. The numerical advantage of the cavalry was completely eliminated within half an hour.
And half an hour was enough for the cowardly army.
With 7,000 troops ambushing and attacking more than 3,000 people, if the battle cannot be resolved quickly within half an hour, it will appear that the cowardly army is too incompetent.
At this time, Lin Ye, with two to three hundred people, also circled back from the south.
He couldn't rush to Niutuo County to take command immediately, because it was too far away.
What he had to do was to lure out the other half of the Beiye Army cavalry.
