Chapter 92 Counter Ambush
"Report, it's my Jin Kingdom's pursuit force!"
After a while, another soldier ran over to report to Jiao Zan.
"General Jiao, we are responsible for the attack on the south side. We have already defeated the Nandan Army and chased them all the way, why can't we see the shadow of the Nandan Army?"
A man with a general's appearance rode a horse and whipped it and asked.
"Where's the way? Let's talk about it."
The visitor was He Lu, the vanguard general under Gou Xun's tent, and Xu Wei, Jiao Zan were both generals under Gou Xun's tent. He was responsible for leading 20,000 troops to siege the Nandan army from the south side of Xifengkou.
He Lu said the whole story roughly.
"Oh, I'm ashamed. I didn't expect that the north was broken by Nandan, but what happened to the Nandan cavalry?"
Jiao Zan asked, but no one could answer him.
"General Jiao, although the Nandan army broke through, it is still more than fifty miles away from Wushang City. Moreover, the opponent is already a defeated army. He will definitely go far with food, supplies, and he will definitely go far. Why not join forces and continue to pursue the enemy? He will definitely be able to kill the enemy again!"
He Lu is worthy of being the vanguard under Gou Xun's account, and his military literacy and observational keenness are quite excellent.
"What the general said is very true, I am just thinking this! I wonder if Marshal Jin agrees?" Jiao Zan turned around and asked Jin Shangdong, who was already scared and pale.
"Agree...Agree!"
Jin Shangdong kept nodding.
"Okay, please help General He organizes cavalry to continue chasing towards Wushangcheng. I will lead the army and follow us!"
Chasing is the strength of the cavalry, so Jiao Zan would ask He Lu to lead the cavalry to pursue.
Just as expected, the Turin army and Ye Ruhai cavalry teams who led the baggage and wounded soldiers to flee to Wushang City did not go far, but headed towards Wushang City on a hill about ten miles away from the Jin army.
Ye Ruhai looked at the slowly moving team and frowned.
He had been through the battlefield for a long time and naturally knew that time is life. He finally got rid of Jin Bing. If he followed the speed of this snail, Jin Bing would sooner or later discover and chase him.
"General Du, what is the casualties?" Ye Ruhai turned his head and asked Turin beside him.
"It is reported that the archers lost 680 people and the pikes lost 1,200..."
"Please tell me directly, I don't need to know the specific losses of each army." Ye Ruhai looked unhappy and decisively interrupted Turin's report.
However, the unhappiness on his face was covered by the darkening night, but although his tone sounded polite, he was actually quite dissatisfied.
Turin paused, took a deep breath, calming his emotions.
The defeated general had no reason to get angry with General Ye. Although he had a higher position than him in theory, at least someone led a thousand cavalry to drag him out of the Xifengkou just now.
"Eight thousand seven injuries, more than one thousand deaths."
After a brief report, Turin stopped talking, but seemed to feel that he had not finished speaking, and added:
"Most of the casualties came from infantry."
Ye Ruhai naturally knew that most of these casualties came from the pursuit and pursuit of Jin soldiers on the south side of Xifengkou, while the losses of Jin soldiers on the north side of Xifengkou were about three to four thousand.
It is extremely difficult for such a team and such a general to bring about 20,000 people without a defeat.
The most important thing is that all the supplies, except for more than a dozen horses in a carriage, were shot and couldn't be taken away, all of them were taken out.
"Well, how many archers are there?" Ye Ruhai asked again.
"There are more than 8,000 people left!" After being choked by Ye Ruhai just now, Turin spoke extremely briefly, but in fact only she knew that she was angry.
Sometimes women are like this, but women’s anger comes and goes quickly!
"General, do you want to stop here?" Yu Lang stood behind Turin, trying to remind Turin, who had his hair scattered and his clothes, was trying to speak but stopped. He took this opportunity to ask Ye Ruhai.
"I am just thinking about this, I wonder what good advice you have?"
Ye Ruhai admired the person in front of him who was extremely young but had infinite courage and was unstoppable in the face of changes.
Along the way, Turin had roughly told him about the entire war, which made him look at the young man in front of him with admiration.
"The good strategy is not enough, it's just some bad words." Yu Lang continued to dress up and said.
"Although our army broke through, it was actually a tired army, with injuries and supplies. Moreover, Jin army would definitely expect that I would go to Wushang City and there was no other way."
"In addition, as night falls, our marching speed cannot be accelerated, so there must be pursuers in the Jin army."
Before he spoke out his plan, Yu Lang analyzed the reasons well, which made Turin look at the unknown little book boy beside him in surprise.
"I have always been thinking about how to get rid of the enemy's pursuers. The only thing we need is time. Of course, we can abandon the baggage to increase speed, but this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, so I think..."
"We can set up ambush here, mainly archers, stockpile a large number of bows and arrows to block, and at the same time, in the opposite mountains and forests...!"
"Brother Yu is very good at meeting me. The enemy's pursuit soldiers will be dominated by cavalry, and the subsequent troops will arrive one after another. I can ambush a large number of archers here. While carrying out long-range shooting at the enemy, I can ambush a small number of suspicious soldiers in the opposite mountains and forests. When fighting, I beating drums and shouting to confuse Jin Bing. I wonder if I guess correctly?"
Ye Ruhai laughed loudly, sweeping away the haze on his face before, and slapped Yu Lang with his right hand. He was really grateful for the young but extremely talented person in Nandan Country.
"That's right, what the general said!" Yu Lang bowed and replied.
"Your method is really good. I have another way to discard several damaged carriages and block this mountain road. At the same time, I find rocks to block the passage, so that it cannot move forward. One way to block the pursuers in one place is conducive to my bow and arrow shooting, and the other way, even if Jin Bing clears the passage, it will take time and effort to delay time for our army to leave."
Torin, who stood aside without saying anything, suddenly interrupted.
"Miss is awesome!" Yu Lang said respectfully to Turin. He himself didn't know why he respected Turin so much. In his heart, Turin was definitely not as simple as his lady.
He was always introverted and inferior in front of Turin, and absolutely obeyed Turin's words. Maybe he had grown up.
Which young man is not passionate? Which young girl is not in love?
But Turin didn't know all this. She always treated him as a little boy. Of course, after today's battle, Yu Lang's image in her mind was completely changed, but it was just a change. There was no relationship between men and women, let alone how old she was older than Yu Lang.
"Okay, you and General Du lead the team to continue moving forward, leaving behind three thousand archers and five hundred spearmen, and prepare war drums and torches for me!"
