With Shi Di's previous experience, Shi Hu knew that Tai Shi Ci was good at bowing and arrows, and when he heard the sound of the wind, he hurriedly lowered his head.
Rao is Shi Hu dodged fast enough, but with the sound of "pop", the big red helmet was still shot down by Tai Shici's arrow.
It scared Shi Hu so much that his legs weakened, and he almost fell off his horse.
At the moment, he also cared about the life and death of his son, and turned his horse and retreated to this formation.
Saving one's life is the king, as long as you don't die, your son can be reborn, and the so-called staying in the green mountains is not afraid of no firewood.
Er Zhurong, who was pressing the formation in the back, gloated with a look of schadenfreude: "Who let your father and son run to fight with the Han army, the focus of my strategy is to block the Han army in the Changbai ditch to surround the point to help, but your father and son came to the courage of the horseman and gave his life in vain, now I finally know that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky."
"Hugou leaves, leaving the head" Seeing that Shi Hu was defeated, Tai Shi Ci made a move with a halberd and waved his troops to charge forward.
Er Zhurong was also not to be outdone, and ordered the whole army to move forward, desperately blocking the way of the Han army, and not letting Tai Shici out of this valley.
Tai Shi Ci's troops were superior, and he was a strong general, but he suffered a loss and his physical strength decreased after the rapid march.
There are only 10,000 men and horses led by Shi Hu and Er Zhurong, and they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but they are better than waiting for work, plus they occupy a favorable geographical position.
Therefore, the two sides fought fiercely for more than an hour, each losing more than 2,000 people, and it was still difficult to distinguish the winner.
In the midst of the stalemate, the two sides of the valley suddenly burst into a loud sound of killing, and torches were shining.
Wang Zhao and Jiang Yiqu each led five or six thousand people to shout in the jungle, cheering for Er Zhurong and Shi Hu, and intimidating the Han army.
Changbaigou is not an ordinary valley, more like a small basin, the plain in the middle is at least two or three miles in radius, the ambush on both sides of the mountain bow and crossbow range is unreachable, the role can play is to drum up and shout, shock the morale of the Han army.
In addition, it is necessary to prevent Tai Shici from leading the army to climb over the mountains and escape from the encirclement.
The battle planned by Er Zhurong was different from ordinary ambush warfare, and the core of this plan was not to annihilate Tai Shici's headquarters, but to encircle the point and send reinforcements.
If the Tai Shi Ci headquarters is annihilated, it will lose the meaning of encircling the point to send reinforcements, and what Yuan Jun needs to do is to block the Tai Shi Ci troops in the valley, wait for the other Han troops to come to the rescue, and use Tai Shi Ci's men and horses as bait to catch other Han troops to take the bait.
Seeing the Yuan army on both sides of the valley rising and falling, Tai Shi Ci's troops, who were fighting fiercely with the Yuan army, really shook their hearts, and the deputy general Lu Zhang suggested to Tai Shi Ci: "General, there are Yuan army ambushes on both sides of the mountain, it seems that the enemy army has already arranged an ambush and waited for our army to enter the army, and retreat quickly to avoid being trapped."
Tai Shici also regretted his rash advance, brandished a halberd and cut down two Yuan soldiers, and sighed: "I regret that I didn't listen to Zhao Kuangyin's words at the beginning, so that I was ambushed by Yuan's army."
Now when the rear army becomes the front army, and the former army becomes the rear army, you open the way in front, and Ben will personally cut off the rear."
After getting Tai Shi Ci's order, more than 10,000 Han troops immediately turned around and headed east, and the deputy general Lu Zhang raised his gun to open the way, and Tai Shi Ci personally cut off the rear.
Er Zhurong, Shi Hu and others bluffed for a while, and no longer continued to chase, anyway, the retreat of the Han army was cut off by Xiao Maha, if Tai Shici broke through and left, no wonder himself.
"Don't chase after you, set traps on the road, pile up antlers, occupy dangerous points, as long as you block this road and prevent Tai Shici from passing, our task will be completed."
Erzhurong took the reins of his horse and commanded his soldiers to arrange the defense.
Shi Hu folded his son, his heart was angry, and he kept silent, quietly watching Er Zhurong use soldiers.
In his heart, he counted his son's death on Er Zhurong's head for no reason, and the more he looked at Er Zhurong, the stronger his hatred became, "Damn wild boar skin, if it weren't for you, how could Wu'er die under the hands of the Han general, find an opportunity to let you, a wild boar, pay for my son's life sooner or later."
It was the middle of the night, and the rain and snow had stopped, and it was muddy after melting.
Lü Zhang was in front, and after Tai Shi Ci broke off, he led his troops to retreat to the east.
Just after walking five or six miles, suddenly a drum sounded, and more than 10,000 people were killed on both sides of the road to intercept the retreat of the Han soldiers.
Xiao Maha longitudinal horse lifts the lance and takes Lu Zhang directly.
The two horses intersected, and there was no one in the battle, Lu Zhang was stabbed under the horse by Xiao Maha, and his subordinates could not resist it, and they fought and retreated.
Xiao Maha took the lead and led a fierce attack on the troops, killing more than 2,000 Han soldiers in ambush, and the formation was in chaos.
Hearing that the back road was cut off and Lu Zhang was killed, Tai Shici was furious. led eighteen horsemen to follow him, came to fight Xiao Maha, and did not answer after taking the face, and the lance came and went, and the vicious battle was seventy or eighty rounds, and the victory was inseparable.
However, Tai Shici's troops marched in a hurry, and fought fiercely in the rear, not only suffering heavy casualties, but also suffering from a lack of people.
One by one, they were hungry, and their strength was gradually exhausted, even if they followed Tai Shici to charge with all their strength, it was difficult to break through Xiao Maha's interception.
In desperation, Tai Shici once again ordered the front army to change to the rear army, and the rear army to the front army, retreat towards the plain in the middle of Changbaigou, and personally cut off the rear.
Blocking Tai Shi Ci's retreat, Xiao Maha did not pursue, and ordered the soldiers to set up camp on the post road, dig traps, build fortifications, and trap Tai Shi Ci's men and horses firmly in the ravine.
Fortunately for the Han army, the Yuan army, which blocked both sides of the valley, not only did not attack back and forth, but did not hurry to camp on the road and build fortifications, looking like they were going to fight a protracted battle.
This made Tai Shi Ci breathe a sigh of relief, if Xiao Maha and Shi Hu attacked back and forth, they would not be able to make their own team annihilated.
In addition, the basin in the middle of the ravine is several miles in a circle, and there is a certain strategic space, so Tai Shici ordered to set up camp and rest for the night before it was too late.
Although the headquarters was temporarily trapped by Yuan Tan's army, in the overall situation, the Yuan army was surrounded, with Li Jing's more than 100,000 horses in the west, Wei Yan's 40,000 in the southeast, and Xue Rengui's 30,000 in the southeast.
Under the leadership of Tai Shici, the Han army, which had filled its stomachs, was busy for most of the night and erected a fence in the basin of Changbaigou.
He dug a trench outside the camp, erected antlers, and dug several deep wells in the camp to get water, preparing for a stalemate with Yuan's army.
After making defensive preparations, Tai Shici immediately selected more than a dozen capable scouts, all of whom traveled lightly, climbed over the mountains on both sides, and asked Li Jing, Wei Yan, Zhao Kuangyin and others for help.
The mountains on both sides of Changbaigou were not tall and steep, and the Yuan army deliberately let the Han army scouts go out to ask for help, so Tai Shici's envoy did not have much effort to escape from the encirclement of Yuan Tan's army.

The first to receive a call for help was Zhao Kuangyin, after listening to the envoy's account, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I have long told General Ziyi that the whereabouts of the Yuan army are secret, and there must be fraud in this, and now it is really surrounded."
But the Yuan army surrounded but did not fight, it was clearly using Taishi Ziyi's troops as bait to lure reinforcements, and to encircle the reinforcements, just with the five thousand people in my hands, I am afraid that after killing them, they will be sent to death in vain, or wait for the army of Li Yaoshi to come to help, and then I will march forward."
The messenger wept and pleaded: "Nearly 5,000 people were killed in the battle led by General Ziyi, and now only about 10,000 are left, and morale is low.
If General Zhao can harass and attack from behind Xiao Maha, even if he can't relieve the siege for General Taishi, he can boost the morale of the trapped brothers, and ask the general to send troops to fight."
"Presumptuous" Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly, "Does this general still need you to command, this general can't let his brothers die in vain in order to rescue Taishi Ziyi, before Li Yaoshi and Wei Wenchang send troops, this general will not send a soldier and a drop in the bucket, it will not help, just send him to death in vain."
The envoy begged hard, and when he saw Zhao Kuangyin's iron heart, he could only retreat with hatred.
In the other ways, Wei Yan, Xue Rengui, and Li Jing all had people to ask for help, so the messenger had no choice but to turn over and go to Beihai to ask for help from the King of Qingzhou Thorn Shi.
Wei Yan's army was about one hundred and eighty miles away from Changbaigou, where Tai Shi Ci was besieged, and received Tai Shi Ci's request for help a little later than Zhao Kuangyin.
Hearing that Tai Shici had fallen into Yuan Tan's encirclement, he couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly summoned Xu Shu, Lu Wenlong, Hua Rong, and Gao Ran to discuss countermeasures.
After being summoned by Wei Yan, Xu Shu, Lu Wenlong, and Gao Lanju all came to the Shuai Tent as quickly as possible, and Hua Rong also came to the Shuai Tent with a clear-eyed "brother" to discuss with everyone the strategy of rescuing Tai Shi Ci. t1706231537:
