Chapter 787 Guo Huai's words of suffering this time
Because he just wanted to scare away the Wuhuan Xianbei coalition, Dian Wei made some arrangements near the Lightning River. He believed that this time he would definitely give the Wuhuan and Xianbei people a surprise.
"Report to the commander, a large number of unknown cavalry were found ten miles away, with more than 30,000 people!" The voice of the combat staff was loud and powerful, and the words were not mixed with any personal comments and judgments.
"Listen to my order to light the fire and herd cattle!" Dian Wei said slowly.
When the Wuhuan people and Xianbei people arrived five miles away, Dian Wei immediately ordered: "Light the fuse!"
So the messenger beside Dian Wei immediately waved a small red flag.
Soon, on a line of miles wide, hundreds of soldiers lit the fuse tied to the tail of the adult bison locked in a huge iron cage.
"Grieving cattle!" Dian Wei gave another order.
Hundreds of heads and tails caught fire, and the buffalo that had already begun to go crazy instantly rushed out of the iron cage that had been opened and ran wildly towards the distance.
"Point the fuse!"
So the hundreds of soldiers who had just ignited the bison's tail immediately lit the fuse buried under their feet. Soon, the fuse burned forward, igniting a small amount of sky-burning thunder buried underground.
"Boom...Boom...Boom..." A huge explosion sounded one after another, and quickly spread to the distance.
The buffalo, which had been burned by the fire, became even more crazy after hearing the huge explosion, and continued to run wildly into the distance with red eyes.
The loud noise and the smoke pillars soaring into the sky immediately reminded the Wuwan people and Xianbei people who were heading towards the small earth slope where Dianwei landed. Then they saw hundreds of buffaloes with fire on their heads and tails rushed over desperately.
The Wuwan people and Xianbei people were already scared, and then they heard the attack horn sounding at the same time in the distance, and then saw an endless black iron wall appearing on the hill.
The image of the winged tiger that represents the flying tiger army was raised high by the flag officer of the flying tiger army and swaying domineeringly in the wind.
"There is an ambush, it's the Flying Tiger Army. Turn around and run away!" The Xianbei people who had seen the flag of the Flying Tiger Army shouted wildly, reminding their comrades around them to escape quickly.
"Hurry, hurry up...! Turn around quickly, there is an ambush from the Flying Tiger Army in front of you."
Under the dual oppression of the crazy bison and the flying tiger army, the Wuwan people and the Xianbei people chose to turn around and run away, but this time they had no choice but to escape south.
To the east, there are terrifying Canglang Army blocking the road; to the north, there are boundless Daxingan Mountains; to the west, there are even more terrifying Flying Tiger Army waiting; to the south, there are places occupied by Gongsun Du's generals.
Compared with the Canglang Army and the Flying Tiger Army, the Gongsun Du Army, which was surrounded from the south, was obviously weaker. As long as the Gongsun Du was broken through the siege, the Wuwan people and the Xianbei people could escape into the territory of the Goguryeo people, and at least they could leave a way out.
The opponents in three directions, the Wuhuan people and the Xianbei people, chose to take action with Guo Huai, who was blocking the road.
Behind the butts of the Wuwan and Xianbei people, the Flying Tiger Army followed slowly, as if sending the most severe warning to them. Those who know the truth should go east quickly, otherwise they will want you to look good!
Looking forward to Wuhuan, the Xianbei people and the Fuyu people had a battle, or they might flee into the northern territory of Youzhou to the west, Guo Huai suddenly heard the soldiers responsible for reconnaissance roaring, "A large number of cavalry were found in front!"
Guo Huai did not have the "six-mile eyes" produced by Jin State, so he could only rely on the naked eyes of his soldiers to observe and call the police. When he found the Wuwan Xianbei people who had no way to escape, a decisive battle for survival broke out without any suspense.
Although Guo Huai was good at commanding and had outstanding abilities, he could not immediately organize his troops to withdraw from the dangerous areas, because the Wuhuan Xianbei coalition was in a melee at this time and with his 25,000 troops.
On the battlefield, there were red-eyed Wuhuan people and Xianbei people fighting decisive battles with Liaodong soldiers. They did not care about the rain of arrows shot from a distance from the Liaodong infantry, and risked their lives to attack the neatly arranged infantry formations of Liaodong soldiers. Then, they used the saber and crossbow in their hands to attack all enemies who dared to block their way forward.
The fierce fighting happened every moment. The panicked Liaodong soldiers faced the Wuwan people and Xianbei people who fought to the death, not to mention that the troops were still at a disadvantage, so not long after, Guo Huai's troops gradually disappeared and were about to face the brink of collapse.
The Flying Tiger Army, which slowly captured the remaining Xianbei people and the Wuwan people, along the Raoleshui, had already been staggered by a large distance from the battlefield where fierce fighting was taking place in front of them, so they were not worried about what happened to Gongsun Du's generals.
On the contrary, the Canglang Army, which was pressing up from the Tongliao side, was now replaced by the costumes of the Fuyu people and was quickly surrounding the battlefield.
Seeing that his troops were about to be defeated, Guo Huai suddenly yelled: "Get out of a passage quickly and let these lunatics go!"
So many Liao soldiers quickly made way out of a passage to the east on the battlefield, avoiding the Xianbei and Wuwan people who were still rushing wildly.
By the time the tragic encounter ended, endless corpses of people and horses were left on the battlefield. The Liao army, which originally had 25,000 people, was still standing, and the Xianbei and Wuwan people who were fleeing wildly also lost more than 10,000 soldiers, leaving only more than 20,000 people to continue to flee east.
Guo Huai, who was suffering, had not had time to gather the remaining soldiers, suddenly heard his personal soldiers shouting in despair: "Report to the general, and tens of thousands of cavalry were found in the distance!"
Soon, the "Fuyu" who came to make dumplings seemed to have forgotten the fact that he had formed an alliance with Gongsun Du, and without saying a word, surrounded Guo Huai and nearly 10,000 soldiers under him. Before Guo Huai could question, he heard a very neat angrily shout: "Put down your weapons, disarm and don't kill them!"
The Fuyu people who besieged the Liao army shouted in Chinese, with a straight and round voice, and soaring into the sky.
At this time, Guo Huai had some replays of the taste. He finally understood who the troops snatched the transport ships under Gaoxian City a few years ago.
After controlling nearly 10,000 soldiers under Guo Huai and his command without any suspense, Zhang Xiu immediately ordered the troops to clean up the battlefield and rescue the Liao army that had not yet died. He seemed to have little interest in pursuing the Wuwan people and Xianbei people who were still fleeing to the east.
When someone was brought to Zhang Xiu who had never met, Guo Huai asked in frustration: "I wonder who is the general?"
Zhang Xiu replied calmly: "Is Zhang Xiu, the Canglang Army?"
Guo Huai then sighed and said, "General Zhang is really good at calculating. This strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolfs is really amazing!"
Zhang Xiu said disrespectfully: "It's just a little trick, and I guess it will be more exciting next."
