Chapter 154 In the Battle of Dengfeng
The rebel army rested in Mi County for a night but still found nothing.
Seeing that Xinzheng and Mi counties were empty cities, the rebel army concluded that Gao Huan might have to carry money and food to hide.
After all, the crusing army had no logistics supplies, so they could eat wherever they went. It was hard to clear the fields. It didn't take too long to hide in the mountains. At most one month, the crusing army had to leave Dengfeng and find food to eat.
Hao Yaoqi was worried that Gao Huan would escape with Dengfeng's money and food, so he urged his subordinates to continue marching towards Dengfeng in the early morning.
Faced with the attack of 200,000 troops, Hao Yaoqi could not find the reason why Gao Huan did not escape.
It is impossible to compete with the 200,000 rebels with the strength of the Red Army.
With this idea, Hao Yaoqi became worried. If Gao Huan really fled into the mountains with money and food, it would be difficult for the rebel army to encircle and suppress it.
After all, the rebel army escaped from the pursuit of the official army.
At this time, Hao Yaoqi led the army out of Mi County. Not long after he left, he encountered the obstruction of the Chibei Army again.
The same routine, one or two thousand people will leave after pretending to be a slut.
There were two waves in a row, but compared to the guy he met yesterday, the blockade of Chi Beijun began to become fierce.
This made Hao Yaoqi even more convinced that Gao Huan might run away. The rebel army broke through two obstacles in a row, and the army accelerated forward and rushed forward to Dengfeng County.
After breaking through the two blocks, the thieves were not blocked again along the way. The army ran for most of the day, walked dozens of miles, and approached Dengfeng County.
This made the rebel army very happy. The soldiers who had not snatched the things along the way rushed forward one by one, rushing forward one by one, fearing that others would enter the city first and snatch the things to no end.
At this time, he was about to approach Dengfeng County, suddenly, the sound of breaking through the air sounded at the front, and the rebels rushing in front suddenly fell into pieces, and the body of the arrow jumped up in the air and fell on their backs.
"Stop! Stop!" The sudden change shocked the general of the trench army. He reacted and shouted loudly.
However, at this time, the rebel army that entered the range of Chibei was large in number and had dense formations. The soldiers in front were difficult to retreat for a while, and countless people were shot.
The soldiers of the rebels hurriedly retreated and looked closely. On the hills ahead, the Red Preparatory Army was lined up on a low hill, with archers and countless spearmen on the top of the hill.
Hao Yaoqi came to the front and saw that the crusades were stagnant, he shouted loudly, "What's going on? What's going on?"
"General, there are a large number of enemy troops blocking the road!" The soldiers of the rebel army reported truthfully.
Hao Yaoqi ran forward, thinking that it was a small group of people from Chi Beijun again, but he didn't want to look up and a wall of people that lasted two or three miles long appeared.
The spears and canine teeth in front of them were intertwined, and a large number of archers were holding long bows in their hands, hanging quivers on their waists, moving their muscles and bones, pulling and checking the bowstrings.
Gao Huan was wearing red armor, wearing a big red cloak, with a ghost face, and stood under the banner on a horse. He had been waiting for a long time.
Hao Yaoqi frowned, "Where are you hitting Gao Huan's main force? Guiss is crazy, are you going to fight with me?"
Hao Yaoqi was a little puzzled. Seeing that there were only tens of thousands of people ahead, wasn’t this going to die?
When he saw the figure under the banner, he was dressed up in a cool style. Hao Yaoqi remembered the generals of the Red Army who had escaped with four blows. The corners of his mouth twitched, "A group of people who look like this dare to show off in front of me! He ordered the army to line up and prepare to attack!"
At this time, Hao Yaoqi didn't feel that he was in danger at all.
After all, how could Gao Huan compete with him?
In addition, tens of thousands of rebels were behind him, and they were constantly coming. There were Xuanyuan Pass dozens of miles away, and there were still 100,000 rebels there.
Gao Huan was so brave that he looked down on him and thought he was a mediocre talent like Li Zijing, so he dared to fight him here.
Hao Yaoqi stepped on his horse and stood under the banner of Daqi. He looked at Gao Huan's formation on the west side. He was about to order a scout rushed over.
"Report! The enemy was found in the north! The Chi Bei army that was repelled in the morning came back again. It was ten miles away!" Suddenly, a scout rushed over.
Hao Yaoqi was shocked. There were only two thousand people, what effect could it play?
At this time, he asked the scouts to continue monitoring, while the army continued to set up their formation, preparing to defeat Gao Huan on the opposite side.
At this time, half of the 100,000 rebels fell behind, and only 50,000 teams were dragged down by the old rebels, and they lined up slowly.
Their infantry was in front, facing Gao Huan's formation in the west, and a small number of horse soldiers were on the left and right wings. Just as the formation was about to form, Li Pingyuan, in the north, led his men and horses, had already appeared in his sight.
But there were not two thousand soldiers and horses. Behind Chi Beijun there were also Zhuangding from Sixian County holding spears, coming from the wild.
"There are tens of thousands of enemies in the north!" The scout rushed to report.
Hao Yaoqi was shocked when he saw this and hurriedly called, "Change the formation! Defend the north!"
Two thousand enemy troops turned into tens of thousands of people, threatening the flanks of the rebel army. The rebel army, which had just formed a formation, could only change the formation in a hurry.
"Report! Tens of thousands of people are coming to the south!" The scout came to report again.
When Hao Yaoqi heard the words, he quickly changed his words, "Range the circular array!"
The 50,000 rebels were in a hurry and changed their formation again.
If Gao Huan had enough cavalry, the rebel army would have lost.
The riot army was not familiar with the military formation, and after a day of running, he was extremely tired, and it took him a long time to form a formation.
Fifty thousand rebels lined up a circle in the wilderness, Hao Yaoqi and Daqi were in the central army, and the cavalry wandered outside the circle.
The strong wind whistled and the big flags were roaring. Hao Yaoqi stood under the banner. Seeing that he had formed a square formation, he glanced around with a cold expression and found that there were already figures of enemy troops on the surrounding hills.
The terrain selected by Chi Bei Army was hills on three sides and plains in the middle. Looking at the figures of the hills, the rebel army was in a stir, and Hao Yaoqi felt surrounded at this time.
"Why did Gao Huan have so many soldiers?" General Luo Maotong was a little panicked.
Hao Yaoqi looked at the enemy troops in the west, south and north directions, and found that the enemy troops in front had armor, and the enemy troops behind were mostly colorful jackets. He held a spear and a fork, and then sneered, "Hmph! Gao Huan pulled the villagers to count!"
When the generals of the rebel army heard the words, they looked carefully and found that it was true.
Although 90% of the rebels were the same, a torn jacket and a spear, the generals of the rebels were relieved.
At this time, under the banner of the Chi Bei Army, Gao Huan saw the riots forming a circular formation in the wilderness and posing a defensive posture, as if he was not going to move first.
Now the rear of the rebel army is rushing towards Dengfeng. There are still 100,000 rebel army outside Xuanyuan Pass, which is fiercely attacking the key points.
Hao Yaoqi did not move, but Gao Huan had to take action to defeat the enemy formation.
"The front army attacks! Break them down!" Gao Huan decisively issued an order without discussing anything.
More than a thousand red troops were ready to push the shield chariot and approaching the enemy's formation steadily.
