Chapter 472: Falling
into a trap The Nanyan spies hid in the dark and closely monitored the movements of the Dazhao army camp until dark. After seeing that the Dazhao army camp did not move, they returned to the city to report with confidence.
The left general who was in command breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and ordered the generals to rest early, and to gather the troops out of the city at the hour of Yin as today, to attack and harass the Dazhao army, and delay time to wait for Xiao Lin to return.
The battle passed, and the sky was still dark at the hour of Yin, and everything was silent.
The Nanyan cavalry led the beast army out of the city and quietly approached Dameng Mountain.
At this time, the tigers are the most active and fierce, and have the strongest attack power. In addition, the sky is dark, and it is inconvenient for humans to fight due to limited vision, which is more conducive to the beast army.
The Nanyan army was full of confidence and used the same trick again, raiding the Dazhao army camp before dawn and withdrawing back to the city at daybreak.
Everything went smoothly, but when they were about to withdraw after daybreak, they found that a large number of Dazhao troops had suddenly appeared in the rear and blocked their retreat.
"General, what should we do?" The cavalry leader asked the general in a panic.
Seeing the overwhelming Dazhao army, the general was frightened and a chill ran up his spine.
They fell into the trap!
"Roar!"
When the two armies were in a stalemate, the Nanyan tiger bared its teeth and roared, trying to scare off the Dazhao army.
The Dazhao army remained unmoved and looked at these beasts quietly.
Just now, while the Nanyan army was distracted, they had already splashed the poisonous water on the tigers, which was why the tigers roared.
Because water is not a threat, the tigers did not take it seriously and did not avoid or hide. Therefore, almost all the tigers were more or less stained with poisonous water, which dripped down their fur.
After roaring a few times, seeing that the Dazhao army did not move, the tired tigers licked the water on their bodies from time to time.
The tigers, who had been specially trained, would not be tempted by food, but they did not change their habit of licking their fur.
The Dazhao army, who was originally a little uneasy, saw that the tiger really licked its fur and licked the poisonous water into its stomach, and immediately felt relieved, and silently counted the time in his heart.
At the same time, the general of Nanyan hurriedly observed the situation and made a decision: "Let the beast army take the lead and rush out!"
The beast master said: "The people of Dazhao are numerous and powerful, and the beast army will suffer heavy losses."
The general gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Don't worry about that, people are more important than beasts!"
The 30,000 cavalry is most of Shuncheng's military force and the elite main force. If all of them are lost here, Shuncheng will be in danger. The remaining 20,000 infantry can't stop the Dazhao army at all.
The beast master had no choice but to blow the whistle.
Hearing the whistle, the tiger stopped licking its fur, turned around and rushed back to break through.
The Dazhao army, which was stuck in the rear, had no armor to defend itself. Seeing the thousands of tigers rushing at them, they were terrified and retreated according to Yu Zheng's order.
Seeing this, the people of Nanyan thought that the Dazhao cavalry was afraid, and immediately the morale of the army was boosted, and they rode their horses to charge forward.
With the beast army leading the way, they would surely be able to break through the siege and return to the city smoothly.
The people of Nanyan thought so, full of hope.
However, after the tiger ran for about a mile, it suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, as if it was dead.
"What happened? Go and have a look!" the general ordered urgently.
The cavalry escorted the beast master forward to check on the tiger.
The beast master knew tigers very well and quickly found out the reason. He was shocked and said, "General, the tiger army is poisoned!"
Poisoned, when were they poisoned? Could it be that Dazhao's poisonous smoke also worked on tigers?
Impossible, the poisonous smoke only slowed down the speed, and they would not lose their mobility and fall to the ground.
After checking many tigers, the beast master said, "It's water."
The hair on all the tigers was a little wet. They didn't understand why Dazhao's army did this before, but now they finally realized it.
"Despicable!" The general cursed angrily, and then said in a deep voice, "Let the poisonous snakes open the way and rush out quickly."
If you don't leave now, you can't leave.
In the previous battle, Dazhao set off poisonous smoke, which had already taken effect, and the movements of the poisonous snakes slowed down.
But at this moment, they could not care so much and could only fight with all their strength.
Although the venomous snakes moved slower, their venom was still there, and their large numbers made them a great threat.
"Get out of the way!" With a loud shout, the cloth-armored soldiers quickly stepped forward and blocked the cavalry.
"Go!" The fearless cloth-armored soldiers raised their swords and shouted, and swung their swords to cut the snakes neatly.
"Kill!" The Da Zhao army on the other side also shouted in unison, and the attack from the front and back was fierce.
Although Da Zhao had a large number of people, Nan Yan was elite, and it was not easy to kill them. Especially the leading generals, who were even more powerful in martial arts.
In order to reduce unnecessary casualties and to improve, Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu personally went into battle to kill the enemy generals.
Zhuiyun Zhufeng and his men followed closely beside Yu Zheng, offering close protection.
With the help of Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu, the generals of Dazhao were greatly encouraged, and they were invincible.
"Dabai, come on!" Rendong commanded the flock of geese to help Yu Zheng and his men kill the poisonous snakes.
Leng Xing followed Rendong and killed the enemies who approached her one by one.
The generals of Dazhao were united and cooperated well, killing the Nanyan army so badly that they fled in panic and cried continuously.
Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu targeted several Nanyan generals and approached them with swords.
A true general and commander-in-chief should have fought with swords and guns to be completely convincing.
"I'll be on the left and you on the right." Yu Zheng said to Zhou Boxu.
"Okay." Zhou Boxu responded and went to kill the general in front of him on the right.
Zhuiyun Zhufeng and others followed Yu Zheng closely and helped him block the elite cavalry so that Yu Zheng could focus on dealing with General Nanyan.
The same was true for Zhou Boxu's guards on the other side.
"Clang clang clang clang--" The flashing of swords and sabers made people dizzy and the listeners terrified.
The cavalry commander of Nanyan was forced to retreat step by step, and cold sweat soaked his back.
He looked at Zhou Boxu and said ferociously: "It would be worthwhile to have the consort of the Great Zhao buried with me."
Zhou Boxu said coldly: "That depends on whether you have the ability."
After speaking, Zhou Boxu swung his sword and slashed it, shocking the cavalry commander's arm slightly numb.
What amazing Kung Fu!
The cavalry commander did not dare to be careless and responded with all his strength.
Yu Zheng on the left faced General Nan Yan, and the long sword in his hand danced quickly, biting General Nan Yan like a dragon, and he was overwhelmed and looked very nervous.
"Puchi--" The sword was sharp, and General Nan Yan's arm was stabbed by the sword if he was not careful.
"Ah!" The general felt pain and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Yu Zheng seized the opportunity to continue attacking, and soon took the man down, and ended it with a sword through the chest.
The commander died in the battle, and the Nan Yan army was in chaos. Soon after, the cavalry commander also died.
The Nan Yan army was panicked and desperate.
On the contrary, Da Zhao was very arrogant and became more and more courageous as the battle went on.
Zhuiyun and his men also fought vigorously
and killed with great pleasure. Zhufeng, in particular, became more and more excited as he killed more and more.
The Nanyan Army was constantly defeated, and Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu led their troops to the place where the tiger fell.
Looking at the beast master who was still fighting, Yu Zheng raised his sword and rushed forward.
The snake master was surrounded by elites, and under the siege of many people, Yu Zheng could not get close for a while.
"Master!" Zhufeng shouted and joined the battle.
Zhuiyun and his men separated the other elites.
In the fierce battle, Zhufeng caught a glimpse of someone attacking Yu Zheng from behind, and hurriedly flew to block it.
Zhufeng used the tiger-head hook to block the chopping knife, but failed to block the long spear on the other side, and was stabbed in the right shoulder.
