Chapter 22 Lure the enemy to go deep
After hearing this, Heizi smiled and said, "General Wenyuan, you will be the one who hits the red heart when you come up. In addition, you have good cavalry skills, so you can't find it in our army. Of course, I want to report the good news to the Lord."
Zhang Liao smiled and said, "I am not insulting after following my lord. I think I am following the right one. My choice is right. Let's take a step back. Even if I go to Bingzhou to join the army, I will be a little recruit. Who would use me like my lord? It is impossible to exert my ability, and it is even more impossible to lead troops to fight. If you want to lead troops independently, you don't know what year it will take, and maybe it will never be possible for your whole life."
Lu Ning glanced at everyone and then said, "Okay, you all are ready. In a few days, I will take you to buy a piece of our own territory, and then find a way to make the court recognize our political status. By then we will have a foundation."
Everyone said in unison: "It's the lord."
Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "By the way, we will have our own territory in the future. As for the captured Xianbei people or the Huns, as long as they are strong, don't kill them again. Stay here and let them be our slaves, let them help us build cities and mine for the rest of their lives. Don't waste such coolies who don't need wages. Anyway, the more the better."
Everyone laughed again after hearing this, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
The boy Zhang Chuang said, "That is, let them be free coolies. If they are disobedient, it will not be too late for us to kill them again. This is also a punishment and revenge for them."
Five days later, at the end of July 187, Zhang Liao set out with two thousand flying cavalry. Zhang Liao's army bypassed the Mayi County and rushed directly to Sang Qian.
After night time, Lu Ning led the two thousand flying bear cavalry to set out secretly, and chose a forest to hide before dawn, while only more than 2,000 soldiers were stationed in the base camp of Lu Ning's army.
When Zhang Liao's army arrived at Sangqian City, there were only a few more than 300 cavalrymen in the city. They did not expect that the Lu Ning army would boldly bypass Mayi City and attack them directly.
The Tartars in Sangqian City did not expect that the Lu Ning army was not afraid of cutting off the rear route. The number of Xianbei cavalry in the city was not large. They had also heard of the reputation of the Big Bear Army and did not dare to go out of the city to fight to the decisive battle. They had already asked the surrounding Xianbei army for help, and they were waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
As for the two thousand flying bear army led by Lu Ning, they had long been secretly sneaking into the mountains less than twenty miles away from Sangqian City, waiting for the prey to take the bait. As long as there are preys to take the bait, Lu Ning will pounce fiercely until the prey is annihilated.
Zhang Liao attacked Sangqian City symbolically, letting the enemy know that Lu Ning's army had no siege equipment, and blatantly acted as if it was manufacturing siege equipment in the city.
The Xianbei cavalry in other small cities did not come to support Sangqian, and even Mayi City did not come. Although there were six or seven hundred soldiers in Mayi City, they were still worried that the Lu Ning army would take the opportunity to attack Mayi, and only the Xianbei cavalry in Yinguan City were dispatched. They knew that Zhang Liao's army had only 2,000 people and were now making siege equipment. They were very confident in their cavalry strength.
In order to eat Zhang Liao's army at one time, more than 4,000 cavalry were dispatched in Yinguan City at one time, leaving only nearly 1,000 cavalry guarding the city.
After receiving the report from the scouts, Lu Ning was quite happy at first. However, after the scouts of Lu Ning army continued to reconnaise, they found that this group of Xianbei cavalry was still cunning. They would rather walk a little longer than take a road where Lu Ning army could attack ambush.
Finally, after researching Lu Ning and Zhang Liao, they decided to annihilate them at night.
Since there was no good ambush position, Zhang Chuang had to lead five hundred flying bear soldiers to attack the Xianbei camp.
Although Lu Ning also knew that the Xianbei people must be prepared. Lu Ning asked Zhang Chuang not to be too close to the enemy camp, and asked them to use rockets to shoot the enemy camp a little further away, with the purpose of attracting the enemy.
Zhang Liao led 1,500 flying bear army to wait for Zhang Chuang's retreat halfway, while Lu Ning led 1,500 flying bear army to wait a little further away.
When the enemy chased Zhang Chuangjun and rushed out of the camp, as soon as he heard the attack of Lu Ning's army, Li Youze led 500 Feixiong to take over the camp of the Xianbei army. At that time, there would not be many enemy troops in the camp.
The actual situation was indeed the same as Lu Ning and others expected. When Zhang Chuang brought five hundred flying bears troops to the range of the enemy camp, Zhang Chuang immediately asked his soldiers to shoot rockets at the enemy camp.
When the enemy saw that Zhang Chuangjun did not want to enter the tent, they had to lead the army to kill the generals towards Zhang Chuangjun. Especially when they saw that Zhang Chuangjun had only a few hundred cavalry and even a thousand cavalry were not yet available, they immediately wanted to destroy Zhang Chuangjun in one fell swoop.
Zhang Chuang led his men to retreat and fight back at the enemy, always keeping a certain distance from the enemy. This made the Xianbei army very angry and immediately led the army to chase Zhang Chuang's army at full speed.
When Zhang Chuang saw the enemy's pursuit, he dared to stay and immediately led his soldiers to retreat.
The enemy's speed was fast, and he was also fast. When the enemy slowed down, he slowed down. He rushed for about twenty or thirty miles.
At this time, the enemy's momentum was not as high as it started. Just when the enemy was hesitant, should we continue to chase and kill? Or should we stop chasing and killing.
Zhang Liao led 1,500 flying bears to face the enemy's generals, and Lu Ning also led 1,500 flying bear soldiers to move a little farther from the enemy's side.
When Zhang Liao and Zhang Chuang were entangled with the enemy, the flying bear soldiers led by Lu Ning also rushed to the rear of the enemy.
The enemy did not expect that there would be Lu Ning's army to come from behind. Now the enemy was in chaos. I wonder if the enemy soldiers turned around to fight against Lu Ning's army? Or would they continue to fight against Zhang Liao and Zhang Chuang's army?
Of course, it was impossible for them to turn around to stop the Lu Ning army's battle, because it was not so easy for the cavalry to turn around, and it was not as possible to complete in a very short time like infantry.
Some of the enemy soldiers turned around, some did not turn, and some only turned halfway. In just a moment, the enemy soldiers became extremely chaotic, which of course means failure and the fate of being massacred.
The leader of the enemy was greeted by Zhang Liao. After only more than ten rounds under Zhang Liao, he was shot through by Zhang Liao. When the Xianbei soldiers saw the leader die in battle, their morale plummeted. The soldiers of the Lu Ning army shouted that they would not be killed, and that they would not be killed after surrender.
When Xianbei soldiers saw that the situation was hopeless, some began to escape, and some soldiers simply surrendered when they saw that they could not escape.
Lu Ning's army did not stop chasing the enemy. Lu Ning only left Zhang Chuang to lead hundreds of soldiers to confiscate the prisoners, while Lu Ning and Zhang Liao led their army to chase after the enemy.
