The Song army camp was set on fire and raided.

This is cavalry, this is the power and significance of elite cavalry.

The cavalry has never had any strategic mobility. No cavalry can march day and night without logistics and travel three thousand miles in a month and a half. But within a few days, tactically, they can do things that the infantry cannot even think of.

.

And now that Wanyan Hehe had launched a surprise attack, with fires everywhere and loud killing noises, Ba Lisu immediately led his headquarters to launch a surprise attack from before the closure.

Frankly speaking, Li Yanxian underestimated the enemy.

He is also a human being. After the death of his old rival Lou Shi, after sitting idle for eight years, the whole army went on the Northern Expedition. As the only commander-in-chief with a stronghold in Hedong, he was different from Han Shizhong's posture before the war. He was particularly eager to stretch his fists.

, can become the vanguard in the main direction of attack.

He actually took the lead in capturing Tieling Pass, but he really underestimated the enemy.

In fact, he did not make any mistakes when he came to Tieling Pass - after capturing Tieling Pass, he immediately set up camp across the pass, and did not allow the defeated troops to enter the pass. He only allowed them to set up camp with their backs to the pass, and then there was no time to deal with the melee during the day.

Sentries were sent across the battlefield that had just calmed down to detect the movements of the Jin army.

But as soon as the troops who had been fighting in the day were withdrawn, Ba Lisu urged Wanyan to turn around and send out troops in the dark.

Therefore, he just didn't make a prediction.

But he still underestimated the enemy.

At the same time, what is more intuitive and fatal is that the combat effectiveness of Li Yanxian's troops is indeed mixed, which can be easily seen from the battle process.

The chaos started from Yan Ping's tribe. The camp that his tribe had hastily set up was easily destroyed by the Jin army, but was quickly stopped by Dong Xian's tribe... Dong Xian was admittedly greedy for money, but recognized as good at fighting. Chaos was in his defense zone.

It obviously slowed down, which gave Song Jun a chance to breathe.

Li Yanxian came to the pass and looked at this scene from a distance, his face was as dark as water, but he didn't have any good ideas.

Night attacks have been like this since ancient times. He can only sit in the pass and stabilize the camps from the inside out. If he really forces a nighttime rescue operation, with the level of soldiers and horses of his peripheral troops, I am afraid that the number of soldiers swallowed by the chaos itself will be greatly reduced.

Far more damage than the attacking cavalry itself.

Moreover, this is Guannan. After all, it is an organized unit. Guanbei is already in chaos. The rebels and a small number of remnants of the imperial camp who have only gathered up after a whole day of fighting during the day are simply pulling away.

A quick surprise attack destroyed the camp.

Fortunately, their experiences during the day taught them that they could drill into the mountains.

"Jiedu."

In the chaos, one person hurriedly entered the pass with Li Yanxian's bodyguard, and faced each other. It was Dong Xian's deputy general Zhang Qi. "My family commander asked me to report, saying that the Jin army cannot take advantage of us and seems to be preparing to withdraw.

Other camps will come to charge..."

"I saw it." Li Yanxian took a deep breath and spoke coldly.

Zhang Qi looked down from the side and knew why Li Jiedu was like this. Here in Guanbei, of the seven camps of the Song army, one was defeated, one was fighting, and only three of the remaining five were fully lit at this time.

Up, there were two half-lit ones, and there was some confusion... Obviously, these two camps used this method to remind the Jin army when they faced the surprise attack that they were weak and could attack.

them!

Zhang Qi originally wanted to persuade Li Yanxian, but he didn't know what to say at the moment... In today's battle, the Song army underestimated the enemy and was greedy for merit, and his arrogance was undoubtedly revealed.

This is not just one family or two families, this is a problem that systematically exists in the imperial army under three years of agitation and propaganda, recuperation and preferential treatment.

There will definitely be all kinds of weird troubles happening in other places, and you will have to pay for your lessons with blood.

Just thinking like this, Zhang Qi suddenly felt that the light in front of him seemed to be brighter. He looked towards Guanxia Yingpan, but found that it was only for a moment, and the situation in Guanxia Yingpan had not changed fundamentally.

For a moment, Zhang Boyu (Zhang Qi) only felt that his eyes were blinded by light somewhere at night, but the next moment, he noticed that Li Yanxian and Li Jiedu, who had a face as deep as water, no longer looked at the chaos in the camp below, but

It was looking to the southeast.

To the southeast are mountains, including Zhongtiao Mountain, Wangwu Mountain, and Taihang Mountain. They are all mountains... In early winter, on the fifth day of the lunar calendar, it should be pitch black in the dark night.

But Zhang Qi saw a spark of fire in the mountains.

Although it was small, it was definitely not the sparks from a nearby torch, but a real spark flashing in the dark mountains in the southeast.

Zhang Qi made a gesture, and according to his judgment, it should be the entrance to Taihang Wangwu Mountain, Zhuantian Ridge, Xileng Pass, and the passage that Zhiguanxing drilled out of the mountains.

Is it the Jin army reinforcements from Longde Mansion?

Zhang Qi thought of the worst possibility in an instant, and if this was the case, his army would be defeated tonight!

But should we withdraw?

Retreating at this time will only cause the whole camp to collapse. It is impossible to say that the main force of the Jin army in northern Guan will seize the opportunity and rush in. Then the Song army will be defeated without the Jin army in Longde Mansion.

Moreover, if it was the Jin Army, why did the Jin Army from the Taiyuan direction come to attack only a small amount? Why didn't they use all their best cavalry to block all the Jin Army in Longde Prefecture here?!

If it is the Jin Army in Longde Mansion, then there is no reason why Manager Ma, who is already in the mountains, should not notice it, right? He can even detect the movements of the Jin Army in Taiyuan!

Could it be a stratagem of suspicious soldiers deployed by the Jin Army's raiding force?

No matter what the possibility is, Li Jiedu must be advised to stabilize and defend Tieling Pass and Guanbei Yingpan.

After thinking about this, Zhang Qi looked at Li Yanxian again, only to find that Li Jiedu, who was wearing a cloak, still had a heavy face. He didn't even look at the camp in front of him. He just stared at the southeast and bit his fingernails.

Zhang Qi had nothing to say and couldn't help biting her nails.

But at this moment, the stars in the mountains in the distance suddenly jumped and turned into several stars, then dozens of stars, hundreds of stars, densely packed stars, and then a complicated and long line of fire appeared on the

In the mountains in the distance, it is still extending, winding and connecting.

Finally, in just a quarter of an hour, like some kind of magic, a whole fire dragon appeared in the mountain, and due to its folding and double shadow, it formed a sea of ​​fire.

From a distance, the entire mountain seems to have been cast by wildfire.

Its momentum is so fierce that it will start a prairie fire once it has spread the mountains.

Zhang Qi was relieved. He realized when the line of fire first showed that strange winding shape. This was not the Jin Army. The Jin Army drilled out directly from Zhi Guanxing. It would only be a bigger and bigger one.

Sparks, and then turned into flames... The current situation can only be Ma Kuo's rebels going down the mountain!

They originally gathered in a hurry, came here, and then marched in the mountains for days. They should have been forced to spend another night in the slightly cold early winter mountains and go down the mountain early tomorrow morning. But obviously, when they discovered this place,

After seeing the dazzling fire, after realizing what happened, he chose to light a torch and go down the mountain overnight.

In early winter, when the grass and trees were bleak and wet with dew, an astonishing number of Taihang rebels put on a vigorous show at night.

Wanyan Zhehe, who had won the first battle, and several men under his command stared blankly at the fire that suddenly appeared behind them. This scene, which they knew was man-made but still looked like a natural wonder, reminded them of many things.

But right now, the mountain of fire only means one thing - if they dare to stay here, they will probably be surrounded.

Therefore, we should quickly blow the trumpet and order the troops to withdraw along the same route.

However, it may be that this shocking "star volcano" was so eye-catching that he was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses at the urging of his subordinates and issued a military order.

The sound of horns sounded continuously, which not only woke up many Jurchen cavalry, but also woke up a group of people about twenty miles southwest of Guanyu.

"It's so boring!"

Han Shizhong, who was riding a horse, also came to his senses from the man-made volcano, turned to smile at Niu Gao beside him. "Both your family and I thought that we were the lead singers of this drama, but it turned out that he got up early,

I only sang a warm-up part, and I arrived late, so I only sang the closing part. However, the main actor was condescended to me and sang it in front of the public, and he sang it in such a situation... What a good job!

It deserves a reward!”

Three Jiedushi were involved in the incident. Niu Gao, who was captured to lead the way, remained silent and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

On the other hand, Jie Yuan couldn't help it anymore: "Fifth brother! Are you thinking that Chang'an is watching a drama with Mr. Yu Wen?! The Jin army must have withdrawn, but it is definitely exhausted. He quickly lit the torch and chased after him.

Go ahead! You will definitely gain something!"

Han Shizhong raised his head and laughed, but his expression suddenly changed. He turned around and gave orders to thousands of fine knights behind him in the night. Then the whole army released their restraints and lit fires together. Another fire dragon appeared out of thin air, complementing the volcano.

At the same time, it pounced at the Jin Army at a speed that caught them off guard.
