Chapter 115: Beyond Zhu Yan's Plan
"Damn it!"
In Zhu Yan's formation, the big man who blocked Meng Yang's charge as a friendly army before had an extremely ugly expression.
His name is Ruan Wenshan, and his military rank in the Zhu Yan Empire is not low, but he is a first-class governor, comparable to the military rank of Xiyun City Lord Zheng Yuanlong.
Ruan Wenshan was the one with the highest rank among the ambush soldiers who lurked into Anluo Province, and all 30,000 ambush soldiers were under his command.
Chen Ze's conjecture was not wrong. The Zhu Yan Empire did intend to cut off the supply line of Bo'an City, but compared to the poisonous mist forest outside Xiyun City, the 30,000 people led by Ruan Wenshan were its main force.
There are thousands of felons in the Poison Mist Forest. Although they can be used, they are just a mob. Still paralyzing the Qingyang Empire.
The siege of the Poisonous Mist Forest with great fanfare is good if it is captured, but if it cannot be captured, it is also a cover for the ambush of Ruan Wenshan, so that the Qingyang Empire can relax its attention to the east of Anluo Province.
It was a month ago that Ruan Wenshan led people to sneak into Anluo Province. After gathering a considerable number of soldiers, he has been deliberately ambushing the small Qingyang army that was going out from Zhangning City to carry out missions. Continued, without disturbing Zhangning City, more than 10,000 sets of military uniforms and military horses with the logo of Zhangning City were obtained.
Of course, the disappearance of soldiers, especially when the total number of disappearances reached more than 10,000 in the later period, will naturally attract the attention of the Zhangning Military Aircraft Department.
But before there was time to investigate, there was an urgent military report from Bo'an City. On balance, the Military Aircraft Department had to suspend the investigation of the missing soldiers, and seconded most of the troops, and the high-ranking generals in the city would lead them to Bo'an. Anjo supports.
In order not to startle the enemy, Ruan Wenshan did not attack the supply troops from Zhangning City after he got more than 10,000 sets of military uniforms. Instead, he led his people to take a long detour and ran directly to the direction of Xichuan City.
With these military uniforms as a cover, when they were ambushing the supply troops of Xichuan City, the other party did relax their vigilance at first because of their suspected friendly status, but they were eaten by Ruan Wenshan without a single soldier, and then escorted to the Executed in the Nameless Canyon.
Ruan Wenshan, who had tasted the sweetness, of course repeated his old tricks. After waiting for He Xuan's troops on the supply line of Qilin City, he also approached them under the banner of friendly troops.
As it turned out, the plan was successful.
At the beginning, He Xuan didn't realize that there was a fraud in it. It wasn't until Ruan Wenshan saw that the time was ripe and started ordering people to encircle and encircle him. Then he realized what was wrong and began to organize a futile defense.
Originally, everything was planned, and only when the siege was 10% complete, this military and civilian mixed supply troop would become his dead soul under the knife.
But who would have thought that just when the encirclement was about to be completed, a cavalry unit with astonishing combat power suddenly rushed out of the oblique stab!
Ruan Wenshan is not blind.
Although the number of this cavalry unit is lower than that of our own side, the fighting power is violent, especially the leading general, Ruan Wenshan made a secret comparison, and he is not weaker than his governor, and even slightly surpassed.
In desperation, he had no choice but to use the status of a friendly army to fool the opponent, but Meng Yang was like a deaf man, he didn't hear a word of his roar, and then responded with a new round of charge .
It's not over yet.
There was also the supply troop, which was originally thought to be a sheep for him to slaughter, but unexpectedly it also concealed amazing combat power.
Those archers, one by one, seemed to have eaten too many sheep whips. They were so powerful that they shot several rounds at a distance of two to three hundred meters. There were probably more than two thousand soldiers who died under their arrows. .
These ambush soldiers, every death is one less!
Ruan Wenshan's heart was bleeding, the situation of the battle that was originally a sure thing had changed because of the sudden emergence of soldiers, and this change was something he was unwilling to accept no matter what.
There are too many downsizing, even if the enemy army can be defeated by the superiority of numbers, what will happen afterwards?
He didn't come here for the final decisive battle. After clearing out the supply line's supply troops, Ruan Wenshan had to move to another place, and he really didn't want to lose too many troops.
So, back?
Ruan Wenshan vetoed this idea as soon as it came up.
How to return?
The opponent with the strongest combat power can be cavalry!
In this plain terrain, who can outrun the cavalry?
Once retreating, the opponent will take advantage of the situation to chase and kill, I am afraid that more people will die!
What's more, it doesn't matter if he retreats, even if he can run away, the Qingyang Empire will know the existence of such an ambush, and under the precautions, the original plan of the Zhuyan Empire can be said to be completely in vain .
He, Ruan Wenshan, will become a sinner in this battle!
Ruan Wenshan gritted his teeth, glared at Meng Yang's cavalry who wantonly penetrated his formation, and suddenly felt a comparison in his heart.
Not only can't they retreat, but they have to kill all these people, not a single one can be left alive!
Thinking of this, Ruan Wenshan yelled at one of his subordinates: "You bring these people, spread them out, get out of range of the archers, and block those cavalry!"
"Death must be blocked!"
The soldiers and horses here were pulled by Meng Yang's three charges, but they gathered in one place. The total force was more than 5,000, of which more than 1,000 were assault cavalry, more than 1,000 archers, and more than 2,000 soldiers with outstanding defensive capabilities. Sword and shield hands, and the remaining hundreds of people are hook and sickle spearmen.
Although these troops were smaller than Meng Yang's cavalry, they were superior because of the reasonable combination of troops. Ruan Wenshan's order was only to block the opponent's cavalry.
Immediately let his personal entourage serve as messengers, and within a short while more than 5,000 people gathered under his tent, according to Ruan Wenshan's instructions, first got rid of the range of the opponent's archers.
At this time, the Mengyang cavalry troops also penetrated the entire formation and rushed to a more peripheral place, before it was too late to turn around.
The side general happened to be stuck at this node, holding a sword and shield on top of the shield in front of him, and hundreds of hooked and sickle spear soldiers all looked stern, and their spears protruded from the shield array, like a steel hedgehog, followed by Meng Yang. The troops moved and adjusted their position slightly, not seeking to kill the enemy, but to block the opponent's charge.
As for the other two thousand cavalry and archers, they are also ready to support at any time.
His formation suddenly made the scene look very strange. People who didn't know it saw it, and thought that Meng Yang's cavalry was the enemy, but Zhu Yan's ambush was instead assisting the defense of the supply troops.
After Ruan Wenshan threw down the military order, he had already led his own soldiers to turn from the side to the other side, and when he arrived, it was at the time when more than 10,000 assault troops with well-preserved strength were about to press on the hill.
Should be no problem, right?
He heaved a sigh of relief. Except for the cavalry, all the soldiers on the hill were low-strength baggage soldiers. How could they stand up to the crushing of his elite soldiers?
