According to Zhen Jian's scout, the Nanzhao army is still surrounded outside Dingzhou City, and Guo Yan said that there are Nanzhao ambushes on the Black Wind Slope, which shows that Nanzhao did not send all the troops to fight the ambush, according to Zhen Jian's calculations, the ambush troops dispatched by Nanzhao should be between 10,000 and 20,000, and it is impossible to exceed 20,000, after all, there are not many soldiers and horses in Nanzhao, if too many people are mobilized to ambush, there are few troops in the military camp outside the city, and it is easy to be detected by the scouts.
Zhen Jianzhen did not expect badly, the Nanzhao army that came to ambush this time had a total of 15,000 people, led by Ge Luohong personally, he attached great importance to this ambush, as long as he defeated the reinforcements of Dachu, Dingzhou would become his bag, in fact, the most important thing was that he learned that this support army was led by Zhen Jian, and when he sent an envoy to Dachu, Zhen Jian did not give him a good face, and now it is a personal enmity and public hatred that ends together.
Ge Luohong knew that he was indeed very smart to use most of the men and horses to stay outside Dingzhou City for camouflage, but Zhen Jian was not stupid, he would also disguise, he only set off in the afternoon, and in the evening, he stopped fifteen miles north of the Black Wind Slope, and only traveled thirty miles, which looked like he was deliberately letting the army rest.
Reinforcements galloped to help, running all the way, inevitably tired, every time they approached the destination, they would march for half a day and rest for half a day, slowing down so that the army would have the energy to fight the enemy, so Zhen Jian's behavior seemed normal.
In fact, Zhen Jian was just deliberately approaching the Black Wind Slope, Guo Yan had already found two fellows who were familiar with the swampy terrain, and tonight, he was ready to carry out a night attack.
When night fell, Zhen Jian quietly went out of the camp with five thousand soldiers, first detoured a little to the east, and then arrived at the swamp, under the leadership of the two fellows through the swamp, to be honest, crossing the swamp at night, even if there are people who are familiar with the terrain to lead the way, it is also very dangerous, fortunately, Zhen Jian has already prepared, let everyone be a team of ten people, and the people of each team are tied together with ropes, one person falls into the swamp, and the other people rescue together, foolproof.
There was no danger of crossing the swamp, and after the third watch, Zhen Jian and them went up the Black Wind Slope and drilled into the mountain forest.
After entering the mountain forest, the villagers told them that their current position was located in the depression of the two hills of the Black Wind Slope, that is, the middle of the two camel peaks, and the Nanzhao ambush army was on the western mountain range, and it was on the western half of the slope, and they only needed to go up from the eastern half of the slope to launch a surprise attack from the rear of the enemy.
Zhen Jian didn't plan to act rashly, he asked everyone to stand still for the time being, and then went up the mountain with Guo Yan and Ye Qiu, and went to the front to investigate the enemy situation first and see how the enemy was on alert.
The three of them went up the mountain together, arrived at the top of the mountain, and found several sentry posts of the enemy, about five people, the three of them were all first-class masters, suddenly attacked, killed these five people instantly, and then checked around, found no other sentry posts, and then went down from the top of the mountain to the west half of the slope, only to go down a hundred zhang away, and then saw the enemy army in ambush in front of them, all of them were drilled in the mountains and forests, all holding swords.
Zhen Jian made a retreat gesture towards Ye Qiu and Guo Yan, and the three of them withdrew to the top of the mountain, Zhen Jian said in a low voice: "Okay, at the moment, it seems that the rear guard of the enemy army is very lax, there is only such a sentry, I think they didn't expect us to launch a surprise attack from behind them, Uncle Guo, Ye Qiu, you stay here for the time being, once the situation changes, come to us immediately, I will go back and let the soldiers prepare, and start the raid." ” "Hmm."
Guo Yan and Ye Qiu nodded at the same time, waving their hands to let Zhen Jian hurry back.
Zhen Jian turned around and rushed down the eastern slope, returned to the army, and asked everyone to prepare for the surprise attack, all the weapons were taken out, the bowstrings were all tightened, the oil tanks were ready, and of course, there were grenades in their hands.
Zhen Jian quietly went up the mountain with 5,000 soldiers and met Guo Yan and Ye Qiu at the top of the mountain, Ye Qiu and Guo Yan shook their heads at Zhen Jian, signaling that there was nothing wrong with him.
Zhen Jianjian immediately ordered the army to disperse, a long snake attack, wait for everyone to disperse, and quietly advance down together, at this moment, many Nanzhao soldiers are resting in the woods, sleeping in the mountains and forests for a long time, very tired, suddenly, a violent explosion sounded, lit up with a super firelight, the whole mountain seemed to be trembling, all the Nanzhao ambush soldiers were awakened, they all shouted and got up, looked around, did not know what happened.
Ge Luohong, who lived in the proposed dental tent, was also awakened by the explosion, and he did not have time to put on his armor, so he got out of the dental tent and asked in a loud voice, "What happened?"
” The guard outside the account shook his head in confusion: "The subordinates don't know either, it seems that there is thunder from over there." ” "Bang!"
Another explosion sounded, and it was more than ten zhang away from Ge Luohong, Ge Luohong could see it clearly, the fierce fire, the power of the explosion, countless people were blown away, and he was stunned.
Approaching, the explosions came and went, the entire Nanzhao army was in a mess, this is not enough, countless torches were lit up above the hillside, and the oil canisters were smashed one after another, and the fire arrows fell like rain, Ge Luohong realized that they were attacked by someone, and quickly ordered a counterattack, but the explosion and fire had already plunged their men and horses into chaos, and the Chu army was condescending and occupied, how did they fight back, only one or two thousand people rushed up, but all of them were pressed back by the arrows like a rain of locusts, explosions, fires, There was also a rain of arrows, which caused heavy losses to the Nanzhao army, and Ge Luohong knew that it was impossible to do anything, so it was the best strategy to flee, and immediately ordered a retreat downward.
Because it is in the mountains and forests, the two sides are actually very close, how can the retreat of the Nanzhao army be concealed from Zhen Jian, Zhen Jianjian immediately ordered the whole army to charge, at this time, the morale of the two sides is very different, and they are condescending, it is a good opportunity to fight the victory.
Ge Luohong led the army to rush down the Black Wind Slope, trying to escape along the official road, but then countless rocks rolled down the hillside, killing his men and horses or crashing into the river, this river is not small, and the water is turbulent, not to mention whether he can survive after falling, the loss of combat effectiveness is certain.
Ge Luohong and the remnants of the defeated army braved the rocks rolling down the mountains to flee south, and the 15,000 men and horses he brought with him were now less than 5,000, and the number was still decreasing.
Zhen Jian ordered to stop using the stones, led people to rush down the hill quickly, and pursued Ge Luohong, because everyone was in ambush in the mountains and forests, all of them did not ride horses, and the two sides were more than foot strength, but many people in the Nanzhao army were injured, and naturally they couldn't run fast, and they were soon caught up by the people in the rear, and they were killed directly after catching up, and they did not accept surrender, and now they are pursuing the enemy commander, how can they have time to accept any prisoners.
The three who are chasing after the front are Zhen Jian, Guo Yan and Ye Qiu, who makes them have the highest martial arts, and their foot strength is naturally outstanding.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, Zhen Jian directly untied the strong bow behind his back, bent the bow and set up three arrows, swished, three arrows flew out, piercing many people in a row, nearly ten Nanzhao soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, Zhen Jian continued to draw arrows, and shouted: "Uncle Guo, borrow your shoulder!"
” "Good!"
Guo Yan bowed up and ran, Zhen Jian kicked the ground suddenly, jumped high, stepped on Guo Yan's shoulders with both feet, Guo Yan's body was like a bow, and violently bounced Zhen Jian to a high place, at the same time, Zhen Jian also kicked with both feet, and the whole person jumped nearly three zhang (10 meters) high to the sky, the moment he hovered in the air, he pulled his bow and arrow, with the help of the moonlight, aimed at Ge Luohong, swished, a dark arrow disappeared into the night, Zhen Jian was just about to fall, and saw Ge Luohong suddenly fall to the ground and shot.
Ye Qiu was already waiting below, and when he saw that Zhen Jian was about to fall, he stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand and drew an arc, unloading Zhen Jian's whereabouts, pushing him forward, and Zhen Jian slipped forward directly.
Ge Luohong was injured, and the Nanzhao army was in a panic, and someone immediately lifted him up and continued to escape, while Zhen Jian kept shooting arrows in the rear to eat away at the enemy.
Unconsciously chased out more than ten miles, and all the soldiers lost their strength, but Zhen Jian and the three of them were martial arts masters, just a little breather, and they ate all the way, and the enemy army was less than a thousand left, and Ge Luohong's injuries were getting worse and worse, and he ordered everyone to surrender, otherwise he was only afraid of death.
The Chu army is actually more tired than the Nanzhao army, after all, they usually have less training, their physique is not as good as the Nanzhao army, and they are still far behind at the moment, Zhen Jian and the three of them rushed into the Nanzhao army like this, capturing nearly a thousand people, it sounds incredible.
Zhen Jian treated Ge Luohong's wounds, captured the enemy, and then returned to the barracks the same way, and returned to the barracks, Zhen Jian sent a good news to the capital, and at the same time ordered that he would set off for Dingzhou early tomorrow morning.
