Chapter 155: A desperate sneak attack plan

Cheng Yuanzhi was killed on the afternoon of March 16th. At that time, the infantry formation composed of two infantrymen, Zhang Guihou and Han Dang, was at the front of the Xishan Pass and was attacked by Loufan Cavalry. Many Loufan Cavalry even abandoned their horses to serve as infantry.

Under the joint attack of Louanren cavalry and infantry, Zhang Guihou and Han Dang formed a battle formation, and suddenly a gap was opened by several Louan generals with great martial arts. Once this gap was expanded by Louan cavalry, the large formation composed of the two infantry would be at risk of being made up of Louanren.

The long wooden spear formation developed by Liu Ji and several generals is OK to deal with the frontal enemies, and both cavalry and infantry can be restrained. However, because the training time of each infantry under Liu Ji's command is short, there is basically no change after the long wooden spear formation is put out. If the formation composed of two infantry is completely two, then the relatively weak flanks of the long wooden spear formation will be exposed under the annoying eyes of Lou.

At this moment of crisis, Cheng Yuanzhi first rushed to the gap and fought against several Lou Fan generals with good martial arts with his own strength. In the end, Cheng Yuanzhi killed four Lou Fan generals in a row, and two of them were even the commanders of the Lou Fan Qingyang tribe. But Cheng Zhiyuan himself suffered serious injuries in the fight. At this time, a hidden arrow suddenly shot towards Cheng Zhiyuan's throat. Cheng Zhiyuan, who had the injury, could not dodge at all, and was immediately pierced by an arrow and fell to the ground, dying in anger.

Yang Hongtao was killed on the morning of March 17. Yang Hongtao died under the sword of a Loufan Qianfu Captain to save his sworn brother Zhang Shuo. Yang Hongtao died very miserably and his head was cut off by the Loufan Qianfu Captain, but the Loufan Qianfu Captain was immediately chopped in half by Zhang Shuo with an axe.

Zou Jing died the most unfairly. He was shot to death by the rafting arrows shot at the infantry formation by the Loufan cavalry. The arrow drilled into the infantry formation through the gap between the two shields, and just shot into Zou Jing's left eye, and drilled into Zou Jing's mind from the left eye. Zou Jing screamed and there was no sound again.

When he heard that Liu Ji wanted to transport the bodies of Cheng Yuanzhi, Zou Jing and Yang Hongtao back to Chengyin City for burial, Zhang Shuo, who was standing next to Liu Ji, couldn't help but say sadly: "I believe that Hongtao knows something underground and will thank his lords for his lords! He could die for the lords, and died on the battlefield where he fought with the Hu people. Hongtao must have died without regrets!"

Liu Ji patted Zhang Shuo on the shoulder and said with sad expression: "Zhang Shuo, lord, you are the saddest to know Hongtao's death. You are so sad. Now that the army of Loufan has not retreated, we will use Loufan's head to pay tribute to Hongtao and Yuanzhi, Zou Jing's spirit in heaven!"

Needless to say, Yang Hongtao was conquered in the real world. Even Cheng Yuanzhi and Zou Jing who were summoned by the system did not have any chance of resurrection. The system has made it clear that Liu Ji could do for them was to kill more annoying Lou and avenge the three generals.

Zhang Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "The lord is right. We must use Louan's head to avenge the dead soldiers! When we have the chance in the future, Zhang Shuo will lead the army to destroy all the Louan tribes on the grassland!"

Liu Ji nodded and said, "As long as we go for this goal, we will have a chance to achieve it."

Liu Ji then looked north of the Xishan Pass and suddenly murmured to himself: "Tonight, can Su Lie, Wei Xiaokuan and others take action? If they still don't take action tonight, tomorrow's day will be even more sad."

It turned out that after the Loufan army launched a strong attack on Xishankou yesterday, Su Lie and Wei Xiaokuan jointly offered Liu Ji a plan, that is, the seven cavalrymen here at Xishankou would go directly from Weishankou in the Anxing Mountains in Moxi County, Dai'an County and enter the grassland. Then the seven cavalrymen secretly took a detour and approached the Loufan camp eight miles north of Xishankou, and then took advantage of the night to launch a sneak attack on the Loufan camp.

The defense operations at Xishankou are mainly composed of the six infantry brought by Liu Ji. In this way, the seven cavalry under Liu Ji's command will have no effect for the time being. If the cavalry dismounted and acted as infantry, Liu Ji felt that it was a bit unprofitable. He was not as generous as the annoying.

The cavalry still had to play the role of the cavalry, and Lou Fanren arranged a large number of scouts north of the Xishan Pass. The seven cavalrymen in Liu Ji's hands did not have the chance to sneak out of the Xishan Pass to attack the Lou Fan camp.

Liu Ji received information that the total strength of the Loufan army exceeded 80,000 this time. Of course, in fact, the coalition forces of the Loufan Cangxiong tribe and the Qingyang tribe were 10,000 more than the 80,000. As for the seven cavalry under Liu Ji's command, there was only nearly 10,000 cavalry, which was too different from the number of cavalry in the Loufan army. If the battle was head-on, the nearly 10,000 cavalry under Liu Ji's command had no chance of winning, and there was only a sudden sneak attack and a chance to win.

Weishankou and Xishankou are both the gorges leading to the grassland in the Anxing Mountains, and they are both within Dai'an County. To the south of Xishankou is Chengyin County, and to the south of Weishankou is Moxi County. Although Chengyin County and Moxi County are still separated by Shangyuan City, the county government of Dai'an County, it is only about 250 miles from Xishankou to Weishankou. The whole way is plain, suitable for large-scale cavalry marching.

After the Loufan army launched a strong attack on Xishankou, they would definitely relax their defenses on their camps. They would not have thought that when Cheng Yin army struggled to resist their tens of thousands of troops at Xishankou, they would still have the power to sneak into the grassland and launch a sneak attack on their camps, which further increased the chances of the success of the sneak attack plan of Su Lie and Wei Xiaokuan.

Liu Ji hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement with the strategy discussed by Su Lie and Wei Xiaokuan. Then Liu Ji sent out all the seven cavalry troops he could use.

Liu Ji knew very well that if he had to spend time with the Loufan army at Xishankou, even if he could finally repel the Loufan army, the army he had finally accumulated in his hands would have almost lost.

This time we came the Loufan army. In the future, there may be a large army of Huns, Xianbei, Khitan army and other grassland nomadic peoples, and invade Chengyin County. If the troops in my hands are exhausted in battle with this Loufan army, then what else can I use to resist the army of other nomadic peoples!

So Liu Ji decided to make a desperate bet, and took six infantry and guards to resist the 80,000 army of Louan at Xishankou, and ordered the seven captains and fourteen Simas of the seven cavalry to lead nearly 10,000 cavalry to Weishankou, and took a detour from Weishankou to the near Louan's camp. After nightfall, he launched a raid.

Now Liu Ji has been holding infantry at Xishankou for two days, and then he will see when the nearly 10,000 cavalry led by Su Lie and Wei Xiaokuan will launch a sneak attack on the Loufan camp!

Liu Ji hopes that the seven cavalry under his command can launch a sneak attack tonight, otherwise the six infantrymen at Xishankou will be defeated.

In addition to more than 3,000 casualties, the six infantry under Liu Ji's command also had hundreds of wounded soldiers, and only more than 5,000 were left to fight. In addition, the Guards around Liu Ji had 1,000 infantry not put into the battlefield. If the seven cavalry did not take action tonight, not only the six infantry, which suffered heavy losses, will continue to fight tomorrow, but the last reserve team in Liu Ji's hand, the fifteen generals and 1,000 infantry of the Guards, will also be involved in the fierce battle for the gorge.

On the evening of March 17, in a felt bag in Loufan Dayan, about eight miles north of the Xishan Pass, the three ten thousand men of the Cangxiong Tribe, Eldimu and Enkel, as well as the three ten thousand men of the Qingyang Tribe, Menglaen, Babuhe and Kada, all gathered here. At this time, the six Loufan Wanhus were not very good.

One of the arm of Enkel, the ten thousand tyrant leader of the Cangxiong tribe, was still wrapped in a bandage. Enkel led the team personally today and launched a strong attack on the Chengyin Army infantry formation at Xishankou. Unfortunately, he returned in vain. One of Enkel's arm was shot with an arrow.

The leader of the Cangxiong tribe, the leader of the Cangxiong tribe, said in a deep voice: "In just two days of strong attack, our Cangxiong tribe and the tribes affiliated below have lost more than 10,000 people in total. Even our Cangxiong tribe can't bear the loss speed. Let's talk about what we should do next?"

At this time, Meng Laen, the leader of the leader of the Qingyang tribe, smiled bitterly and said, "You Cangxiong tribe have lost less than 3,000 cavalry in the past two days, and the rest are the losses of the affiliated tribes. The Qingyang tribe has dispatched all the cavalry in the main team this time, and more than 5,000 people have been lost in the past two days. I don't know how to explain to King Zuoyi after returning to the tribe!"

Babuhe, the commander of the Qingyang tribe, said in a muffled voice: "Since the Jin army here in Chengyin County is indeed a tough guy, so why should we fight hard? You must know that if we continue to consume here, the ultimate loss of the power of our entire Loufan tribe! Teaching the Jin army in Chengyin County is important, but preserving the strength of our entire Loufan tribe is even more important!"

Then the ten thousand men of the Cangxiong Tribe Erdemu nodded and said, "I think the words of the ten thousand men of Babuhe are reasonable. Why do we fight the elite troops of the Jin people at Xishankou? Moreover, there are many roads to Jin State. We don't need to identify the Xishankou road. We can enter Jin State from other roads and then go straight to Chengyin County, so that we can play the role of our Loufan cavalry."

The head of the Cangxiong tribe, Bilege, hesitated for a moment, and asked Meng Lahn, the head of the Qingyang tribe, and said, "Meng Lahn, what do you think?"
