Chapter 160 Lime Fire Horse Array(2/2)
"No, there must be a monster when things go wrong. The other party must be well-informed, and that's why they deliberately used a small number of soldiers to provoke. How can I, Wu Dun, be so easily fooled?"
The more Wu Dun thought about it, the more this happened.
Otherwise, it really makes no sense why Xiacheng sent only this few people to reinforce Liangshan Town.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind the Taishan bandits.
"Boss, there is dust everywhere behind us, there is an ambush!"
"It's really a trap!"
Wu Dun saw sand and dust behind him, and as expected, the people in Xiacheng were too cunning!
The 15,000 Taishan bandits fell into chaos due to an ambush at the rear, and their formation began to collapse.
Xia Liang looked at the flag and judged the wind direction: "It's north wind at this time, use lime!"
A row of soldiers worked together to lift the sacks on the carriage, and the billowing lime rushed toward the Taishan bandits with the help of the north wind!
Sand and dust were flying for a while. Taishan Bandit was located in the downwind direction, his sight was blocked by the lime, and he quickly covered it with his arms.
"Light the rag and defeat the thief with a horse!"
Xia Liang continued to issue orders.
The tails of hundreds of horses were tied with rags. The soldiers burned the cloth with fire. The horses were frightened and rushed into the bandit formation! The horses' hooves were rolling, and the Taishan thieves, whose sight was obscured, noticed that the horses were coming. The frightened horses had already broken through the lime mist and stood tall.
Raising his iron hoofs, he trampled the oncoming Taishan thieves under his horse's hooves!
"Blast the war drum!"
Three thousand soldiers followed the fire horse formation and took the initiative to attack the Taishan bandits!
These horses were worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and Xia Liang regarded them as consumables without feeling any distress.
If she keeps her territory, her monthly tax revenue will be more than ten thousand taels. If she loses her territory, she will be captured.
The Taishan bandits first discovered that there was an ambush in the rear, and the morale of the army was in chaos. Then, their sight was disturbed by lime in the front, and the galloping horses suddenly attacked the formation. The Taishan bandits were panicked and were instantly defeated!
The morale of the three thousand Xia City soldiers has been greatly boosted. This is a smooth battle!
"I didn't expect to really win! Kill! Come ashore with me and kill the enemy!"
Sun Liuwan, who commanded the naval camp, found that the situation was favorable to his own side and was greatly shocked. He immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to defeat the Taishan bandits!
The naval infantry and archers came ashore and attacked the Taishan bandits with Xia Liang! Even the boatmen picked up their iron knives and went into battle to kill the enemy!
Seeing that the situation was favorable, the Liangshan garrison opened the town gate, rushed out of the town, and attacked the Taishan army from three sides.
Taishan's 15,000-strong army was defeated, and there were deserters all over the mountains and plains.
Wu Dun could not control the situation and did not know how many ambushes were behind him, so he fled.
The shouting of death lasted for three hours, and the battle in which the weak defeated the strong came to an end.
There were only a few soldiers killed and injured in Xiacheng, not as many horses as there were casualties.
Xiacheng killed hundreds of Taishan bandits and captured thousands of them. The rest of the Taishan bandits fled.
A group of cavalry came back. There were only thirty or forty cavalry. There were branches tied to the tails of the horses to create the illusion that there was a large ambush behind them. The cavalry was led by the deputy general Gongsun Wu, a silver-level hero.
"The mission will be successfully completed."
Gongsun Wu's ambush was to confuse Wu Dun so that he could not judge the reality of Xia City.
"When the lord takes over Yangdu County, he will definitely reward you heavily."
Xia Liang temporarily wins over Gongsun Wu.
Chu Tian took away all the historical generals, and she could only rely on a team of silver-level and bronze-level generals to support the situation.
"Miss Xia defeated the thieves with her fire horse. She has the greatest credit. The lord will reward Miss Xia."
Gongsun Wu already admired Xia Liang. Not only was she not defeated by Wu Sangui, she also defeated the Taishan thief Wu Dun with such a small force.
"I just want to make money, but the lord keeps going to war, so there is nothing I can do about it..."
Xia Liang also wanted to avoid being captured.
