Chapter 108 Borrowing Gaizhou 3
Tian Zheng flew in the air with the Shang sheep cavalry. While looking for Xu Xun's where he was going, he carefully stared at the woods on both sides of the mountain road. Soon, his team caught up over the black wind.
"Lord Tian, look at the front of you." A merchant sheep cavalry pointed to the black wind and said to Tian Zheng, "The nearby area looks like the cavalry of Huaiyi."
"Go down!" Tian Zheng said that he took the lead in lowering the flight altitude of his ** commercial sheep and bird and lowered it to the valley. Here, nearly a thousand cavalry were guarding both sides of the mountain pass. Seeing Tian Zheng and his Shang sheep cavalry peacefully, he immediately greeted him, "Lord Tian, you are here."
"Ha ha, it's General An." Tian Zheng politely returned the salute calmly, and then he asked, "General An, where has General Xu gone?"
"General Xu took a team of cavalry to the front to explore the way." Answer calmly and respectfully.
"Well!" After listening to the peaceful words, Tian Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "General An, your Huaiyi infantry can reach the black wind mouth in half an hour. You are here waiting for them to come! I'll take someone to the front to find General Xu. After Tian Zheng said this, he pointed to the cliffs on all sides of the valley, "General An, you should be careful! The cliff is full of trees, and I had a vague feeling when I first landed.
"Thank you Lord Tian for reminding me!" After listening to Tian Zheng's words, he quickly thanked him. In fact, after staying here peacefully for this time, he has already observed the cliff at the top of the valley many times. These cliffs are also more and more frightened in the peaceful eyes.
After Tian Zheng explained to An He, he took his merchant sheep cavalry and flew to the sky again. Soon, they disappeared in front of the valley. Obviously, Tian Zheng has gone to chase Xu Xun.
Shortly after Tian Zheng left, the Huaiyi infantry came to the valley in a neat queue. Naturally, the arm of the cliff also found that the Huaiyi infantry had rushed to the black wind. He immediately gave an order to Gongsun Kuang, "General Gongsun, you prepare the soldiers of the mountain pass. As long as most of their infantry enter the valley, let them seal the mountain pass."
Gongsun Kuang got the general order. He did not neglect him. His body quietly retreated, and then he personally went to the entrance of the black wind mouth.
Xu Xun walked forward with the cavalry for a while. On the way, he did not find any traces of orc soldiers. In this way, Xu Xun's heart was relieved. He led his cavalry to turn the horse's head and turn back in the direction of the valley. On the way, he met Tian Zheng's Shang sheep cavalry. The two reported their respective situations to each other and prepared to return to the valley in front of the black wind. But at this time, there was a loud noise from the direction of the black wind.
"It's not good! There's something wrong!" Tian Zheng and Xu Xun reacted at the same time. One of them ran wildly towards the valley with his cavalry, and the other commanded the merchant cavalry to fly up to the sky and also flew towards the valley. However, when Xu Xun and his cavalry approached the valley, the boulders and rolling wood also fell down from the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road.
"Go down! Go and save General Xu!" Tian Zheng commanded a small team of merchant cavalry to lower their flight altitude to rescue Xu Xun on the ground, while personally leading the rest of the merchant cavalry to attack the orc soldiers on the cliff. But at this moment, another team of bird cavalry flew towards them from behind them, that is, in the direction of Gaizhou.
"Lord Tian, it's not good!" A merchant cavalry found the abnormality behind him, and he shouted loudly, "Look! Behind us!" Tian Zheng heard his shouting, and he immediately turned his head. The acid and cavalry have flown to their side.
In front of the black wind, most of the tranquil cavalry and the subsequent Huaiyi infantry were blocked in the valley. Now the road into and out of the black wind has been completely closed by the orcs. Relying on their geographical advantage, the orcs on the cliff poured out the boulders and rolling wood to the heads of the Huaiyi army at the same time. Similarly, the arrows shot by the orc archers also flew around in the valley, and soon a large number of Huaiyi soldiers were shot into hedgehogs by the orc archers.
The army led by Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun now rushed outside the Heifengkou, but the two of them could not give any help to the Huaiyi army on the other side of the Heifengkou. After all, although Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun's army did not lack long-range equipment, they did not have flying troops. Therefore, Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun had to order their bull chariots to suppress the orc soldiers on both sides of the black wind outlet with long-range fire to continue to block the mountain road. At the same time, they ordered their infantry to clean up the road near the black wind outlet against the orc's stones and rolling wood, hoping to reopen the passage of the black wind outlet.
On the other side of the valley, Tian Zheng led the merchant sheep cavalry to fight with the acid and cavalry. The Shang sheep cavalry sent by Tian Zheng to pick up Xu Xun has successfully rescued Xu Xun back to the sky. Unfortunately, the 100 cavalry who followed Xu Xun were not as lucky as Xu Xun. They were all killed by the huge stones left by the orc soldiers.
"Hear!" In the valley, he commanded the infantry to form a shield wall to defend against the attacks of the orcs, while organizing troops to do the same thing as Zhang Zhentian and others. After all, only finding a way to open the black outlet is the key to their escape.
"Retreat!" Tian Zheng saw that the Shang sheep cavalry still rescued Xu Xun, and he immediately issued an order to retreat. In this unfamiliar place, you should fight with the acid and cavalry of the orcs, and be wary of sudden cold arrows from the woods on both sides. It's better to go back to the original camp and make a plan.
Soon, Tian Zheng led his merchant sheep cavalry back to the sky of the black wind. Here, Tian Zheng found that there were original troops fighting with the orcs before and after the black wind. On the one hand, he arranged for the merchant cavalry to send Xu Xun back to the original camp and find more merchant cavalry to support. On the other hand, he led the remaining merchant cavalry to stop over the black wind outlet and continue to deal with the acid and cavalry in the sky.
Although the husk on the cliff trapped the Huaiyi army, he did not expect that the original people below would resist so fiercely. Therefore, he had to order his army to increase the attack. He knew that although there were more than 10,000 original troops surrounded by him, it might not be a big thing for the 200,000 original army. Especially now he can't eat the original people in the valley smoothly.
The battle lasted for more than an hour, and Gu Susheng of Baiyue flew over from the direction of the original camp with his Hu cavalry and some Shang sheep cavalry. It turned out that after Zhang Zhentian and the others left, Yao Guang suspected that he would use acid and cavalry to deal with Zhang Zhentian, so he asked Gu Susheng to bring the Hu cavalry and the merchant sheep cavalry in the camp to catch up with him. Just now, they met Xu Xun, who was defeated and retreating on the way, so Gu Susheng now also knows that Huaiyi's army has been ambushed by orcs, so he led the army to hurry up.
"We are withdrawing!" Seeing that the original reinforcements had arrived in the sky, he knew that it was not worth fighting all the acid and cavalry in his hands here, so he issued an order to retreat.
Soon, the orc soldiers who were still attacking the original people disappeared in the jungle, and then the acid and cavalry in the sky also broke away from contact with the original air troops, and they slowly retreated towards Gaizhou. In this way, the besieged Huaiyi army in the valley was not completely annihilated by the orcs. But after this battle, at least 6,000 or 7,000 Huaiyi soldiers died in the valley.
With the help of Zhang Zhentian and Yuqun's troops, as well as the assistance of the merchant sheep cavalry and Hu cavalry in the air, the surviving Huaiyi army all left the black wind mouth that evening, and then returned to the original camp under the serene command.
Although this battle was caused by Xu Xun's atrodive defeat. However, in the process of the battle, it also reflects the characteristics of being calm and good at seizing opportunities. Similarly, this battle also shows that Xu Xun is not a brainless general, but his opponent is more cunning than him. However, because of the defeat of this war, the original people who were ready to return were determined to eradicate the famine in Gaizhou City, and a fierce battle was about to begin.
