Chapter 195 Counterattack
"What the hell are Jiaozhi people doing?"
Since the sun rose early in the morning, Li Fengxiao started his second attack. Although this time it was a bluff and he was moving forward as a retreat, Li Fengxiao still led the team himself without any carelessness.
This is his pride as a general. As the head coach, he must make reasonable arrangements, but once he goes to the battlefield, he must strive to win with all his might.
Li Fengxiao led 8,000 people into the valley, and 3,000 people guarded the passage at the entrance of the valley, and stayed in the rear to prevent accidents and respond to the attackers.
It was already mid-air, and the valley was extremely fierce, but the outside of the valley seemed particularly calm. Since the earthen wall was blown up, Li Fengxiao knew that it was impossible to build it again, so he changed his mind and used big wood to build a goose cart cave to replace the earthen wall to protect the attacking soldiers.
At this time, these siege tools did not follow into the valley, but stood at the entrance of the valley to replace the earth wall, blocking a passage between the entrance of the valley and the Jiaozhi military camp. No matter how strong the big wood is, it cannot be compared with the earth wall. Under the fierce attack of the Song army by the stone cannons, the caves of goose carts were occasionally broken up. The defending Jiaozhi soldiers repaired it in time, and this passage always existed, which looked particularly conspicuous.
Xu Ping looked at him and frowned, and said to Sang Yi: "You must not be lucky when fighting between the two armies. Once you attack, you should act like a tiger pounce on the sheep and give your all. If the two ends of the head and rats will lose all attacks and defenses. As a Jiaozhi general, Li Fengxiao cannot not understand this principle. Since you understand and still do this, there is only one explanation, - the Jiaozhi people want to withdraw their troops."
Sang Yi nodded: "I think so too. If I don't have such thoughts, I can't make such arrangements. Obviously, some of these goose cart caves have not been completed yet. If they are used instead of earth walls to cover them, then I should spend some effort. If they are filled with some earthen bags and stones, they will not be easily broken by stone cannons. - We can think of these and discuss them. Li Fengxiao can't imagine it. I can only say that he is in a hurry now."
Xu Ping looked at the sky and was silent for a while and said, "Let's retreat. The war has become a waste of money until now. The Jiaozhi people cannot attack Liangzhou, and we have no strength to fight. Why are we spending here? In another month or two when the rainy season comes, the outside of the valley entrance will not be able to stay at all. They think it will be too late to retreat at that time."
Looking back at Liangzhou, which is already green and full of wild fields, Xu Ping said: "Get out as soon as possible, our people will go back and plant rice honestly. The sugar yield last year was no longer as expected, and the rice this year will be made up."
Sang Yi was a pure military general. Although he had planted land back then, he was not interested in the farming work here in Zuojiang Road. He did not respond.
Looking at the Jiaozhi military camp outside, after a while, Sang Yi said to Xu Ping: "This will make the Jiaozhi people retreat safely. I am always a little unwilling to accept it. Speaking of which, since the war began, we have been defending the dead. Except for Gao Daquan, he led two thousand cavalry to harass the Jiaozhi food road, he has never taken the initiative to attack. I thought today's situation, it would be better to attack once unexpectedly and let the Jiaozhi people have a better memory!"
"Attack?" Xu Ping pondered for a long time.
"Not bad! Now there are only a few thousand soldiers in Jiaozhi in the valley, and they are still afraid of their heads and feet. The pressure on the soldiers in the valley is not high. Just to prevent accidents, Han Daocheng's five thousand cavalry is enough. My five thousand wing troops will be drawn to the next five or six thousand township infantry, and with the leading personnel, you can also rush to the Jiaozhi military camp!"
Xu Ping looked at the situation in the valley behind him, and then looked at the Jiaozhi Military Camp in front. Although everything seemed to be normal, he looked carefully but the military flag was not spreading, and he could vaguely see some military supplies being cleaned up.
Looking at the sun just now in mid-air, there was still some time before noon. Xu Ping nodded violently: "Okay, attack out! Go back and prepare, take the 5,000 troops from the opposite hill, and I will send a military order to Zhang Rong lead the 6,000 township infantry and soldiers down from this hill, and attack on both sides. Remember to mobilize troops to the back of the earth wall in the valley, and hide the eyes and ears of the people of Jiaozhi to prevent Li Fengxiao from retreating in advance!"
Sang Yi received the order and was about to turn around and leave, Xu Ping shouted: "Wait, let's go back together, discuss the manpower and offensive route. Since you want to fight, then prepare carefully!"
After about an hour of touching, the sun was almost overhead, and Xu Ping returned to the top of the mountain to watch the battle.
At this time, about 6,000 Song army infantry gathered behind each mountain, waiting for the final order to prepare for attack. Because the hillside facing south was too steep, it could prevent the enemy from attacking easily, but it also made it difficult for its own army to go down the mountain from here. If the infantry could barely go down, the cavalry would have no choice.
While Li Fengxiao was gritting his teeth and leading his troops to attack the earth wall, he suddenly heard a deep horn sound from the top of the mountain, suppressing the sound of killing that was shaking.
When I looked up suddenly, I saw a large group of Song troops rushing down the mountain on the top of the mountain, endlessly, and I don’t know how many people there were.
"Retreat! The entire army retreats!"
Li Fengxiao shouted at the soldiers behind him, wishing he could jump out of the valley.
Li Renyi, who was outside the valley, was in the central army's tent, leisurely drinking the good wine from the sugar-produced opposite the soldiers plundered, waiting for Li Fengxiao to come back and withdraw to Shenglong Mansion together.
A soldier ran into the tent from outside and shouted breathlessly: "It's going down the mountain, the Song army opposite has gone down the mountain!"
Li Renyi suddenly stood up and said unhappily: "What Song army went down the mountain?"
"Master, the Song army opposite rushed down from the mountain and was approaching the military camp!"
Li Renyi finally understood and walked out of the tent. He looked up and saw that on the hillside not far ahead, Song soldiers, like ants, were rushing towards the bottom of the mountain.
In the Jiaozhi military camp, the panicked Jiaozhi soldiers ran around and shouted loudly: "Go down the mountain! The Song army on the opposite side has rushed down the mountains!"
It was noon, the scorching sun was hanging on its head, the hot sun had dried up the warmth of spring, and the earth had ushered in a difficult midsummer time.
Sang Yi carried a steel knife in his hand and an iron mace carrying an iron knife. He cut over the Jiaozhi soldiers who were coming up with one knife, led his people around the Jiaozhi soldiers guarding next to the goose cart cave, and rushed straight to the Jiaozhi military camp not far away.
The distance between two or three miles was mostly light-fitting, and it would take a long time to rush to the ground. The Jiaozhi army did not even have time to line up, and they came out of the barracks in a mess and fought with the Song army.
Outside the valley entrance, Jiaozhi soldiers guarding the passage from the valley entrance watched the large group of Song soldiers rush around him and rushed directly to the barracks, but they didn't know whether they should stop him.
At this time, the stone cannons of the Song army in the sky were still flying all over the sky, and the Jiaozhi army entering the valley was slowly retreating. Once the defensive passage formed by the goose cart cave was destroyed by the Song army, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Li Fengxiao retreated with his soldiers, but the attack of the Song army behind the earthen wall became more and more fierce.
At this moment, in the north, the 4,000 cavalry of the Song army led by Han Daocheng gradually revealed his figure and slowly pressed towards the Jiaozhi army.
