Chapter 531

Ji Ling saw the cavalry covered with blood. He waved his right hand, which was always confident in his force. He immediately opened a channel for the heavy infantry formation to let the cavalry into the central army of Nanyang army. The cavalry ran to the cavalry beside Ji Ling and saw Ji Ling sitting on his horse. He immediately rolled his horse down and said, "general, Luoyang army is attacking the camp. General Chen Xin ordered us to come for help." With that, the cavalry took out a token from his arms and handed it to the soldiers beside Ji Ling.

Ji Ling took a look and confirmed that it was the token of the general of the camp. He nodded and said, "well, how many Luoyang troops are attacking the camp? How about our casualties?"

The herald cavalry said, "three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry are attacking the camp. Although the number is small, they are proficient in bow and horse, and the attack is very urgent. Not only that, there is a lot of smoke and dust behind the cavalry. General Chen said that there should be no less than 20000 soldiers in the future. General Chen said that there are new soldiers in the camp. In order to protect the camp, please return to the army as soon as possible, otherwise

Ji Ling knew why the Nanmen army didn't return. It was clearly the intention of the Luoyang cavalry. No wonder Ji Ling found that there were less than 5000 cavalry around him. His original purpose was to hold down the army, and then he took the opportunity to attack the camp. When he thought about this, Ji Ling couldn't help but feel anxious, because there were not only 100000 troops' food and equipment in the camp for a few days, but also the most important thing The important thing is that there are a lot of craftsmen in it. Once the camp is lost, the siege equipment, let alone the production, is difficult to maintain. Although Ji Ling can't figure out where Luoyang army sent more than 20000 troops to attack the camp, he can't think of so many now.

When he thought of it, Ji Ling immediately sent a message. The army formed a circle and advanced to the camp. Although the speed was not fast, it was better to wait here. Seeing that the Nanyang army suddenly gave up its original defense and turned to prepare for the battle, the Luoyang cavalry on both sides were in a hurry. They quickly increased the intensity of harassment and slowed down the speed of the Nanyang army as much as possible. The move of Luoyang cavalry made Ji Ling more sure that the purpose of Luoyang army was camp rather than his own army. Seeing that the Nanyang army was basically stagnant under the harassment of Luoyang cavalry, Ji Ling immediately ordered that 10000 heavy steps should be taken to open the way ahead, and other soldiers and horses should follow. Seeing that Nanyang army seems determined to rush back to the camp for support, Luoyang cavalry once again increased the intensity of harassment. It seems that they are determined to leave tens of thousands of Nanyang army behind.

Seeing this, Ji Ling once again ordered to speed up. As a result, the already perfect square array was different in speed and direction because of different arms. Soon, Nanyang army was getting longer and longer, and there was a faint sign of formation disintegration. Ji Ling hesitated a little, and was immediately found by Luoyang cavalry outside. Huang Zhong immediately sent troops to make an attack.

Seeing this, Ji Ling was more and more sure that the Luoyang army intended to hold down its main force, so he gritted his teeth and ordered that 10000 soldiers should be left to defend on the spot and protect the siege equipment. After meeting with the South Gate army, he would slowly return to the camp, and he would lead 15000 chongbu and 10000 Putong soldiers to return to the camp. From Ji Ling's point of view, since the Luoyang army tried its best to prevent its return, the siege equipment behind was safe. Sure enough, after seeing the Nanyang army's division, the Luoyang cavalry did not attack the left behind soldiers, but tried its best to intercept Ji Ling's main force.

Seeing that his strategy was successful, Ji Ling immediately ordered the heavy infantry to move forward with all their strength in an attacking state, followed by the ordinary soldiers as the rear army. Sure enough, the speed of the army was obviously accelerated, but the soldiers' physical strength was also very heavy. When they moved forward for about a mile, Ji Ling had to order the army to rest for a quarter of an hour, and then change the order to move on.

Just as Ji Ling was very happy about his strategy, suddenly there was a cry of killing. Ji Ling looked back and saw that the army guarding the siege equipment was being attacked by thousands of cavalry. The scene in front of him made him cold all over the body, and a cold air went straight to the top of his head along the tail vertebra. Ji Ling immediately realized that he was caught in the trap. The Luoyang army was always aiming at his siege equipment. What delayed the Nanmen army, let Xunzheng send troops for help, what camp was attacked, and even let a cavalry for help report to himself were all designed by Luoyang army. The purpose was to disperse his army, so as to separate the siege equipment from the army .

Now the goal of Luoyang army has been realized. The siege equipment is only ten thousand army guards, but it seems that all eight thousand cavalry of Luoyang army have been sent out. The two armies are nearly two miles away from the equipment, and the cavalry can arrive in a moment. But the soldiers are tired, and there is no time to rescue. Ji Ling believes that he is very tired The siege cavalry will immediately abandon their troops and attack the siege equipment. Thinking of this, Ji Ling suddenly woke up. Since the equipment was no longer defensible, he simply didn't want it. So Ji Ling ordered the army to regroup and move forward slowly. At the same time, he asked people to order the army to give up the equipment and make full use of the array to defend and wait for the army's rescue.

Sure enough, after seeing Huang wudie's Xiliang cavalry attack Nanyang army's siege equipment defense army, Huang Zhong quickly took out three loud arrows from behind him, then opened his bow, took up his arrows, and shot in mid air.

Three shrieks sounded in the air. The cavalry who heard the sound immediately turned their horse's head and headed for the siege equipment of Nanyang army. At the same time, a thousand Huben cavalry who were several miles away also gave up the 20000 troops that attacked Xun Zheng and turned to join Huang Zhong.

At the same time, Jiling's army sent out a signal that the 10000 troops who had heard the military order soon made adjustments. They gave up the equipment to start heavy military protection, and the soldiers gradually gathered together to form a tight defensive formation, waiting for the rescue of the army. Unfortunately, Ji Ling's reaction was fast enough, and so did the general of the infantry. However, the reaction speed of the infantry was far slower than that of the Luoyang cavalry. After gathering the soldiers, we found that only 5000 of the 10000 troops were finally gathered together. At this time, all the 8000 cavalry had arrived around, but Ji Ling's army was still a mile away. Seeing that his 5000 soldiers would be destroyed again, Ji Ling had to order the army to speed up again.By the time Ji Ling's army arrived again, there were more than 3000 soldiers left in the 10000 army, and dozens of siege equipment were burned to ashes. As you can see, Ji Ling was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. But now Luoyang cavalry has already gone away, leaving only dust all over the sky. Looking at the dust in the distance, and looking at the mess in front of him, Ji Ling reluctantly ordered the army to rest on the spot, rescue the wounded, and wait for the South Gate army to return to the camp.
