    Chapter 1292 Ambush

    Deleng came to the front and reined up his horse. Regardless of the flying smoke, he took out a piece of cooked beef and chewed it. He turned around and looked around for Feng Rushan and Murong Xuefei. The Black Wolf Cavalry saw only Deleng.  He glanced at it, then ignored it and continued to shoot the black rhinoceros.

    Although the black rhinoceros is famous for its extraordinary defense power in Qinke Grassland, Zhaolan came prepared. After half an hour, only the last and largest black rhino was still struggling to hold on. The big man in black robe rode his horse over the crowd.  He came out, took three javelins from the left and right guards, and threw them at the rhinoceros with a whoosh. The javelin shot out like the wind and penetrated the rhino's left eye. Amidst the rhinoceros's miserable roar, the second and third javelins also fired.  After inserting the rhino's head, amid the cheers of the crowd, the huge rhinoceros finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.

    No one noticed that when the Rhinoceros King fell, a very pale blood-colored shadow appeared in the sky and suddenly flew away to the south.

    Everyone dismounted to rest. A dozen soldiers took horns and skinned them, and some made a fire to barbecue. The rest drank wine and loudly discussed the fight just now.

    "Uncle, that's not good! You're really here!"

    Feng Rushan also breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go over to greet Deleng. In the distance to the south, a large dust head rose up, rising more than ten feet high, like yellow clouds covering the ground. The words were not finished, and he could only hear east, west, and  Horns sounded from three sides at the same time in the north. Feng Rushan rode up to the top of the mountain. Looking far into the distance, he saw a group of men and horses galloping from each side. It seemed that he wanted to surround them in the middle and gather them to annihilate them.

    "Get ready to meet the enemy! Tubu, go to that hill to form a formation and build a stronghold!"

    The big man in black robe was Zhao Lan. When he heard the sound of the horn, his face changed color. He looked around briefly, pointed to a hill, and gave an order to a purple-armored general.

    The hill was not high, and luckily it was surrounded by flat ground. At this time, his men had been fighting with the rhino herd for most of the day, and there were no casualties. However, everyone was hungry and tired, and it would be fine if they were trapped, but horse exhaustion was very fatal, and the prairie  There is nowhere to hide, and you can't escape by running, so you can only set up camp on the hill and form a formation, condescending, as a temporary defensive strategy.

    "My friend, Mu Yan, is a friend of Mr. Min Jing, the military counselor. I passed by here occasionally and had a short rest. I had no other intention."

    General Zijia came with his troops on horseback. Feng Rushan smiled bitterly, feeling wary and immediately took out Min Jing's card.

    "Friends of Mr. Min! Well, I am the general of the conquest. My second elder brother is Zhaolan. I will help me kill the enemy. I will definitely get a reward when I go back!"

    Zhao Lan had a manly beard and a majestic look. The situation was critical at this time. He was very decisive. He glanced at Feng Rushan's jade plaque and said plastic surgery.

    "Haha, I would like to help the general. This is my servant."

    "The Black Wolf Clan has been powerful in the Qinke Grassland for nearly a hundred years. Although things are in a hurry now, they are busy but not chaotic. This shows that Zhaolan is running the army well."

    Of course Feng Rushan has no objection.  He called for Deleng to come up and quietly watched the Black Wolf Cavalry take their positions.

    While talking, a group of sergeants drove wooden pillars into the ground with big hammers, stretched rubber bands between the wooden pillars, chopped trees and branches, and made rough antlers. Tubu directed the soldiers to dig holes and pile rocks.  A simple camp was formed in a while. Although it was very rough, it was better than nothing. Everyone dismounted one after another, holding shields, spears, swords, and even more with bows and arrows. Everyone found a hiding place and stringed their bows.  They were all tied up tightly, just waiting for the enemy to come and fire arrows.

    The camp on the mountain has not yet been completely formed, and the enemy's vanguard has arrived, but they do not immediately come forward to challenge. They stand far away, out of reach of strong bows and crossbows, but they can hear the sound of shouting and shouting, and four groups of enemy troops surround them.  Coming up, formations were formed in all directions.

    "General, we may contact the Chinese army's headquarters."

    Feng Rushan glanced out and saw enemy troops all over the field. There were no less than two thousand people, no less than ten third-level warriors, and a small group of arch knights. Zhao Lan only had about three hundred guards. Although he  They are all elites, but they are outnumbered and their troops are far outnumbered. I am afraid they must lose.

    "Sang Ding's reinforcements cannot be counted on before noon tomorrow. Otherwise, the enemy will not be so calm. Well, they are from the Naohe tribe. Hehe, the cost is not small  "

    Zhaolan also knew what Feng Rushan was asking again.

    Unfortunately, his Chinese army tent is nearly seventy miles away, and his deputy Sang Ding did not receive his alarm message. He would not contact him before dark. After midnight, Sang Ding had not received his message.  , according to regulations, people should be sent to investigate, but if nothing else happens, Sang Ding discovered something abnormal and sent additional reinforcements to arrive here, the fastest, at noon tomorrow.

    Anyone with a little military knowledge would easily guess that Zhaolan had no intention of hiding these things from Feng Rushan.

    ¡°, it¡¯s not easy to break through during the day, so we must first think of ways to support it until dark, and everyone breaks out to the south, Tubu,Count arrows, javelins, and shields, and use them sparingly.  "

    ???????????????????????????????????: A group of wild geese flew across the sky in formation. Zhao Lan stared at it for a long time and said with a wry smile.

    The short shadows of the wooden pillars of the camp should be on the ground, and the scorching sun is in the sky. It is shortly after noon. With the current strength difference between the two armies, it is not easy for them to hold on until dark before breaking out.

    For the defense from a high position, bows and arrows are the most important. Unfortunately, the arrows they carry are not many. They just shot the rhino group and consumed a lot. It is estimated that on average, each person has less than fifty arrows.

    He went out to hunt rhino and brought only a few basic things needed for marching, and no powerful offensive and defensive equipment. In order to conceal themselves, the enemy troops, although they were also light cavalry, were obviously well prepared. At least, they were better than them.  More than enough.

    "Yes! Breakout to the south!"

    Tubu agreed and quietly asked everyone about their remaining weapons.

    Zhaolan¡¯s Chinese army¡¯s tent guard is to the east and breaks out to the south. It may be beyond the enemy¡¯s expectations, but do they have a chance to break through?

    Drums sounded in the enemy formation, and hundreds of people shouted in unison, slowly forcing the generals up. At the front were the infantry archers, who protected themselves with shields. They rushed forward and fired arrows into the mountain. Zhao Lan was quite frightened at first, but once  When they engaged in battle, their courage doubled immediately. They stood on a high place, holding a long sword and giving orders. They were wearing black robes and gold armor. With a wave of the command flag in their hands, hundreds of feather arrows from the guards shot out at the same time. The enemy forwards fell to the ground one after another, but  The enemy was very brave. They swarmed forward one after another. Soon the two armies were in close combat. In an instant, arrows and spears were flying in the air. The sound of killing was loud, and blood and flesh were flying everywhere.

    ¡°General, is the Naohe tribe also in rebellion?¡±

    Feng Rushan was naturally not under Tubu's command. He and Deleng were not far from Zhaolan, shooting arrow after arrow. As for the results, they were pretty good.

    Feng Rushan¡¯s archery skills have not improved much, but Deleng¡¯s bow is powerful and the arrows are sharp. He is not stingy with physical strength, and his lethality is indeed quite large.

    "Hey, Mr. Mu, be careful to save your arrows. If the Naohe tribe cavalry doesn't attack immediately, they just want to consume us."

    Of course, the Naohe tribe did not openly rebel. In fact, the Naohe tribe was quite friendly towards the conquering army. Otherwise, Zhaolan would not come here to hunt.  Something must have happened in this ambush, but Zhaolan himself didn't know it, and he and Feng Rushan couldn't talk about it.

    "General, this won't work! I'll lead fifty brothers to charge and defeat the enemy!"

    Tubu saw that although his side had a slight advantage in terrain, it would not last long due to the small number of people at such a loss. Seeing that the enemy's movement was slightly delayed due to the south where the offensive was most urgent, he volunteered to fight.

    "Okay! Just rush and be right back."

    Zhaolan couldn¡¯t help but feel sour in her heart.

    Tubu has been his domestic servant since he was a child. They are the same age. Although they are called master and servant, they are rarely separated for half a day. It is easy to get away from each other. If they want to come back, I am afraid it is just a blessing.

    "Brothers! Kill."

    After Tubu finished preparing, he ordered the fifty death squads to leave all their bows and arrows, all armed with swords and crossbows. With a loud shout, they rushed in at the head of the pack, with fifty soldiers following closely behind them. Everyone was like crazy.  As if Zhao Lan was shouting, he only wanted to chop, stab and chop in crowded places, with crossbows and knives at a distance. The Naohe soldiers did not expect that Zhao Lan would take such a risk. They were not prepared for the moment and were killed by this extremely fierce cavalry. They immediately ordered  No, it suddenly became a mess, with swords fighting each other, and Tubu was surrounded.

    That Tubu was really brave. After breaking out of the siege, he did not take the opportunity to escape. Instead, he turned his horse's head and came back like a whirlwind to attack the blocked Naohe infantry from behind. Zhaolan even took the opportunity to order an attack and fire arrows.  In a short time, nearly fifty Naohe infantrymen who were blocked were wiped out.

    Although there were many Naohe troops, some of them stayed on the periphery to intercept and pursue Zhao Lan. They were truly besieged on all sides of the hill. There were only more than 300 troops in the south. More than half of them were killed or wounded in less than one meal. Their morale dropped drastically. The gongs in the formation  As soon as the sound was heard, Ming Jin withdrew his troops, the cavalry shot at their feet and retreated slowly.

    Originally, it was not difficult to break out of the encirclement. What was difficult was how to escape from the ensuing pursuit.

    "Everyone, hurry up and have something to eat and take a rest. Tubu, well done. I'll ask you for merit when you get back. You remember the name. Each brother's military merit will be increased by three levels. The brothers who died in the battle will enter the Heroes Temple"

    Of the fifty warriors who followed Tubu, only twenty-seven came back, and all of them were injured. Tubu himself lost an arm and was hit by two arrows in his back. He was covered in blood and became a bloody man.  Zhaolan hurriedly walked over, patted Tubu's shoulder gently, and handed Tubu his wine gourd.

    "General, the Naohe soldiers actually don't need to fight"

    Tubu opened his mouth to say something, looked at the tired faces around him, and finally held back.?? said, raising the wine gourd and drinking slowly.

    "Although the Naohe tribe is small, why do only so many people come? Even if they focus most of their attention on blocking Sang Ding's possible reinforcements, they should annihilate Zhaolan's lone army as soon as possible. Is there any other explanation?  ?¡±

    Two thousand versus three hundred, if they were deployed in a field battle, it would certainly be an overwhelming advantage. However, Zhaolan would not be so stupid. The key is that the soldiers of Naohe did not carry any attack equipment, which looked very careless.  Feng Rushan thought about the weirdness, but after all, he knew nothing about the inside story, so he could only give up.
