Chapter 29 The overall situation has been decided
While Xu Rong and others were surviving in desperate situations, at the entrance of the Giant Snake Valley, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had not yet entered the valley, were also attacked by ambushers.
The one who raided them was Zhang He, who had been paying attention to the situation of the battle.
While Qu Yi was leading the army to ambush, the cavalry led by Zhang He hid in a forest less than five miles from the Giant Snake Valley.
When the mighty cavalry of Xiliang began to enter the Giant Snake Valley, Zhang He also began to assemble cavalry. After the assembly was completed, Zhang He did not delay at all and directly led the group of cavalry to charge.
The cavalry arrived in an instant after a five-mile journey.
When Qu Yi's ambush in the valley began to cut off the Xiliang army, the army located outside the valley had not noticed it yet, and when only five or six thousand soldiers were left, the riot in front finally reached the rear. It was at this moment that Qu Yi's ambush arranged by Qu Yi pushed down all the stones that had been prepared long ago.
The entrance was blocked too!
The five or six thousand cavalrymen who were left outside the entrance were frightened and dispersed their formations and gathered together in a mess.
They have lost their backbone and have no idea what to do next. Most of them are waiting for someone with a higher military vocational vocational to come forward and lead everyone.
This time, I waited for Zhang He’s four thousand iron cavalry!
When the dull rushing sound came into the ears of the group of people, everyone's faces turned pale in an instant.
They have been fighting on horseback for many years and know more than anyone else what this sound means. It is the sound that only occurs when a large number of cavalry charge!
"There are cavalry coming! What should we do?"
"Where is the general? Where has the general gone?"
"Everyone, escape quickly! The enemy's cavalry are coming!"
"Escape quickly! Otherwise it will be too late!"
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who was not led by the general, was as chaotic as a piece of loose sand. Faced with the approaching rumbling, he soon lost his heart to resist.
Chaos, too messy!
A large number of cavalrymen were tied together, some had to run south, some had to run north, and some had to run away in the directions. These people were like vehicles blocked at the intersection. They could pass smoothly by one step, but they were rushing together because they were eager to escape.
soon.
The cavalry led by Zhang He appeared in the sight of the Western Liang army.
Seeing this, the cavalry standing on the outermost side ran to other places without looking back. As for the robes blocked in the middle, they had no time to pay attention to them.
"kill!"
Zhang He, who was rushing in front, was overjoyed when he saw the Xiliang army in chaos, and shouted and killed him.
"kill!"
The Jizhou cavalry behind them roared one after another, and rushed towards the chaotic Xiliang cavalry with a sense of killing.
The two sides contacted each other in a flash.
"Boom!" The cavalry rushing in front was equipped with the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and flesh and bones spilled out at this moment.
Faced with the violent impact of the Jizhou cavalry, the Xiliang army had no power to fight back. The Xiliang cavalry that had been blocked before was suddenly shattered. Countless people were killed by the galloping Jizhou cavalry before they even had time to draw out their weapons.
Massacre! One-sided massacre!
The entire battlefield was filled with screams and wails from the Xiliang army, and the strong smell of blood filled the entire space, strongly stimulating the desire of the Jizhou cavalry to kill.
Under this strong rush, the number of the Xiliang army was decreasing rapidly, and at this time, people's survival instinct was reflected.
In order to survive, the first Xiliang army threw away their weapons and shouted the word "surrender". Then many Xiliang army followed suit and began to surrender.
A moment later, under the supervision of the Jizhou cavalry, the remaining more than 3,000 Xiliang troops were kneeling on the ground, and at this time, there were only more than 3,600 cavalry left in Jizhou!
This is the war of close wars. It is not just a saying that one thousand enemies hurt themselves and eight hundred. Even the almost one-sided massacre of Jizhou Army was killed and injured more than 300 times during the charge.
Most of these people were killed directly when they collided with the Xiliang Army, and some were killed by war horses. However, after landing, they were trampled on by their own friendly forces. Only a few died in the resistance of some Xiliang Army.
This ending is already a complete victory for Zhang He because they beheaded more!
As for the more than 3,000 surrenders, Zhang He had no intention of staying. He did not forget that Qu Yi's five thousand infantrymen in the Giant Snake Valley were besieging the 30,000 troops rushing in!
"Come!"
After Zhang He finished speaking, a personal guard rushed up quickly.
"Send the order and leave a thousand people to deal with these Xiliang thieves. All the remaining people dismounted, bring arrows and follow me up the mountain!"
"yes!"
Zhang He's order was quickly passed on, and more than 2,000 Jizhou cavalry dismounted and turned into infantry, and then led by another lieutenant to advance to the mountain of Giant Snake Valley in two directions.
As for the one thousand men left behind, they had to deal with more than three thousand Western Liang prisoners first, and then stay at the valley entrance to eliminate all the escaped Western Liang army.
Under the night, a bloody killing quietly took place outside the valley.
......
The Giant Snake Valley runs through the east and west, like a giant snake crawling on the earth.
At this time, the giant snake became a winding fire snake. Except for the exit and entrance of the valley, the entire middle part was shrouded in flames.
Through the burning flames, you can also see figures running around in various places. Some of them were still surrounded by bright fires, and screams resounded throughout the valley.
The front and rear roads of the Xiliang Army were cut off by fire. As the fire became closer and closer, they had no choice but to look at the mountain walls on both sides.
You can still escape by climbing up the mountain wall and climbing to the top!
So, the remaining Xiliang army abandoned their war horses and began to charge against the mountain walls on both sides.
The mountain walls of Giant Snake Valley are not steep cliffs, but steep rocky slopes with a certain inclination angle. As long as you are a little more agile, you can slowly climb to the top of the mountain by stepping on the protruding stones.
The premise is that no one stops it.
When they found that the Western Liang army gave up their horses and was about to climb to the top of the mountain, the ambushers on both sides picked up the spears beside them. As long as someone entered the attack range of the spears, they would stab them head-on without hesitation.
Some people kept screaming and falling down the mountain wall, but more people launched a desperate charge towards this only way of life.
At this time, the number of Xiliang Army was superior to that of the Xiliang Army. There were only 4,000 people guarding the mountain walls on both sides, and on average, there were 2,000 people on one side. These people were obviously a little short of defending the long Giant Snake Valley.
At the beginning, there were not many soldiers climbing the mountain in the Xiliang Army, and the Jizhou Army could still deal with it calmly, but when the remaining more than 10,000 Xiliang Army began to climb the mountain wall, the soldiers guarding it were a little too busy.
The rolling stone wood has been consumed, and the spear in his hand can only attack the nearby Xiliang army and cannot stop the people following behind.
When Zhang He and a thousand men climbed to the top of the mountain in the north, several Xiliang troops rushed to the top and were fighting desperately with the soldiers in Jizhou. Below them, more Xiliang troops were climbing up.
Seeing this, Zhang He immediately rushed up.
The joining of a thousand people greatly reduced the pressure on the soldiers in Jizhou. With the support of bows and arrows, the Xiliang army that rushed up was defeated. At this point, the Xiliang army no longer had the chance to rush to the top of the mountain.
Seeing that the situation here stabilized, Zhang He led his personal guards to the exit of Giant Snake Valley.
A messenger had just told him about the movements of the generals of the bandit army. As a general, Zhang He naturally would not miss this opportunity to kill the general and make contributions!
At the same time, Qu Yi, who was at the exit, also fought with the remnants of Xiliang.
In fact, Qu Yi brought only one thousand people to block the exit this time, and he had to leave enough people to deal with the main force in the valley.
Considering that the generals are generally at the forefront of the team, Qu Yi personally led his army here to intercept them, in order to make contributions to the generals!
Qu Yi and Zhang He only saw that although there was no too sharp conflict, they were both generals under Han Fu's tent, and they inevitably had a competitive relationship. This ambush was very successful. It can be foreseeable that there would be generous rewards after returning, but if several thief generals could be killed, his reputation would be even higher!
Maybe it can surpass that hateful Pan Feng!
