When Li Zicheng and Hua Bushi on the hillside saw the gates of Huaiqing City open and Yu Jue leading a large group of officers and soldiers to fight out of the city, their faces were filled with joy.

Li Zicheng clapped his hands heavily and shouted: "Well done! That boy Yu Jue finally lost his temper and fell into our trap!"

Although Hua Bushi did not speak, a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

As early as three days ago, before Gao Yingxiang became the commander-in-chief, this situation had already been laid out.

On that day, Wang Ziyong led the men and horses of "Jinliang Village" to leave the camp angrily. Hua Bushi and Li Zicheng did not expect that there would be a gap in the rebel encirclement, but they deliberately kept the gap for more than an hour before sending people to block it.

, which is to give the scouts of the official army an opportunity to exchange news with the city by passing through the rebel company camp.[

In the following days, they did not block the messages sent by flying pigeons between Huaiqing City and outside. It was not until early this morning that they began to block the message. Of course, they had ulterior motives in doing so.

Yu Jue is not a stupid person. He is not only cautious, but also proficient in the art of war. From the day when the rebel army arrived in Huaiqing City, he set up a clever plan to lead the king to send cavalry to attack and lose the army. It seems that this Huaiqing commander-in-chief can

It can be said that he is very resourceful. It is not easy to deceive such a shrewd person.

If Yu Jue could not be sure that Kaifeng Mansion's reinforcements had arrived and the war situation had become one-sided, he would definitely not lead his troops out of the city. No matter how Hua Bushi deceived, it would not be as good as letting the real reinforcements come.

Zhang Yingchang himself informed Yu Jue that it was effective.

Therefore, the eldest young master deliberately allowed the other party to exchange information so that Yu Jue could know the exact moment of the arrival of the reinforcements. He did not cut off their communication until the last moment, so as to keep Commander Yu in the dark.

Now Zhang Yingchang's 20,000 horses are being blocked by Zhang Xianzhong at Huangshi Valley, and they will be at least three hours late. The large smoke and dust that Yu Jue saw rising behind the rebel company camp on the city wall was the 200 horsemen of the "Pili Camp".

After dragging branches and running back and forth to create the illusion, the few gunshots he heard were actually made by real steel cannons, but the steel cannons were not owned by the army, but belonged to Li Zicheng.

Most of the rebel troops were poorly equipped, but this did not include Li Zicheng's troops.

These steel cannons were originally sold to the rebels by Hua Bushi. They were going to attack Jiancheng in this battle. Li Zicheng dragged these bulky cannons from Biluo Village to Huaiqing. A few days ago, the king himself commanded the siege. Gao Yingxiang once banned Li Zicheng.

After dispatching troops, these steel cannons were carefully hidden and not used at all in the following days. It was not until today's critical moment that a few shots were fired into the sky.

This also determined that Yu Jue thought that the rebel army would not have large firearms such as the Hongyi cannon. Once he heard the sound of cannons, he would become even more convinced that reinforcements had arrived.

This bureau was set up with a lot of money. Even Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, was used as a bait to take advantage of Yu Jue's greedy mentality. No matter how smart and cautious he was, he was still lured by the temptation of promotion and wealth.

I got carried away and jumped into this trap.

The rebel formation outside the city was now in complete chaos. Seeing Yu Jue's men and horses coming towards them, the soldiers refused to engage and immediately ran away. Gao Yingxiang and more than ten rebel leaders also turned around and ran away.

The two-foot-tall flag with the word "handsome" in it fell to the ground, a scene that looked like a tree falling and the hozens scattering.

Although the flag was down, Gao Yingxiang, who was dressed in red, was quite conspicuous among the rebels, and was Yu Jue's determined target. General Yu didn't care about the other rebels who were escaping, and immediately led his men and horses to pursue Gao Yingxiang.

We have to go over and capture the bandit leader.

The direction Gao Yingxiang fled was exactly the hillside where Li Zicheng and Hua Bushi were.

Among the 5,000 men and horses that Yu Jue brought out of the city, there were both cavalry and infantry. Just because horses can run faster than people, it didn't take long before he rode a yellow gelding and 500 cavalry in front, leaving more than 4,000 infantry behind.

Behind him. When Gao Yingxiang fled down the hillside, the distance between the official cavalry and the infantry group was already a hundred feet.

Li Zicheng on the hillside picked up the horse's reins and made a "choking" sound. He had already pulled out the big black iron sword in his hand and shouted: "It's finally time for us to show our skills, so that the dog officer named Yu can know Bi."

Brother Luoshan is so awesome!"

Hua Bushi still had a solemn look on his face, and said: "Yu Jue is proficient in the use of troops, and his martial arts seems to be quite good. The five thousand men and horses brought out of the city are also elite soldiers. Brother Hongji must be careful when dealing with them.

Don’t underestimate the enemy.”

Li Zicheng said: "Brother Shi, don't worry! Since the dog officer has fallen into the trap, how can there be no reason why he can't capture it with just a few thousand officers and soldiers? I will go to the city later and put out some wine for Brother Shi to have a good time!"

Gao Yingxiang ran across the hillside, and Yu Jue, holding a big sword in one hand, took the lead and chased him to the front of the hillside. Five hundred cavalry followed closely behind the general.

The yellow gelding that Yu Jue was riding was one of the best BMW horses in a thousand. It ran faster than Gao Yingxiang's horse, and he was about to catch up with him. Suddenly, the thatch bushes on both sides moved, and loess splashed on the ground, and a thick line of

The rope has swung three feet high and is lying across the road!

It's a stumbling block![

At the same time, five or six spears hidden behind the grass stabbed out quickly, aiming straight at Yu Jue, intending to stab him to death, including both men and horses!

At the critical moment, the difference between a BMW and an ordinary horse is immediately apparent. The yellow gelding reacts very quickly. With just one roar, it kicks its hind hooves on the ground, leaps into the air, and leaps over the three-foot-high thick rope!

Yu Jue, who was riding on horseback, was not slow to react. He hurriedly swung his sword and there was only a "ding" sound in the flash of cold light. The heads of the five or six spears he stabbed were all cut off by him.

Break!

It turned out that General Yu was not only riding a BMW, but also the weapon in his hand was a sword that could cut iron like clay.

Yu Jue relied on his horse's sharpness and sharpness to escape, but the officers and cavalry behind him were not so lucky. He could only hear a burst of people shouting and horses neighing, mixed with the sound of weapons piercing into the flesh and the tragic screams of those who were stabbed.

Howl, hundreds of people in the five hundred cavalry team were knocked down in an instant. They were either tripped by the horse ropes or provoked by the spearmen ambushing by the roadside.

For a time, the road was full of fallen horses and cavalry rolling to the ground. The officers, soldiers and cavalry were blocked in the middle, and there was chaos.

Yu Jue's face was full of panic. He looked around and saw that Gao Yingxiang in front of him had already escaped without a trace. From the hillsides on both sides of the road, thousands of rebel soldiers rushed down shouting and killing him!

Fell into a trap!

Yu Jue thought about lightning and understood everything in an instant. The rebel army's siege and retreat were all carefully laid traps, with the purpose of luring him out of the city, and now he has unfortunately fallen into the opponent's trap!

"Everyone turn around and go back! Move back!"

Yu Jue shouted and issued the order, but the official cavalry had already been huddled together and were killed by the rebel spearmen on both sides of the road. How could they retreat? Even if someone could hear them.

His general orders are also executed according to law.

Seeing the rebels on the hillside rushing down, they were about to cut off their retreat. The officers, soldiers and cavalry were like being put into a big bag. Once the mouth of the bag was tied tightly, they could no longer escape! Yu Jue took the

His heart skipped a beat, he held the knife in his hand, urged his horse hard, turned around and galloped back towards the road he came from.

When chasing Gao Yingxiang earlier, he was at the front of the team. If he wanted to retreat now, he had to pass through the entire cavalry team. Yu Jue galloped his horse and shouted: "Everyone, get out of my way, no!"

Block the road!"

This is just a dirt road, not too wide. Not only are there multiple stumbling ropes on the front and back of the road, but there are also long gunners of the rebel army ambushing behind the grass on both sides of the road. The army and horse teams are caught in the middle, and they are attacked from both sides. They are very embarrassed.

Yu Jue ordered them to give way, but these soldiers were unable to give way and only crowded in the middle of the road.

Yu Jue's horse was so fast that he galloped forward in the blink of an eye. With a flash of the sword in his hand and blood spattering, he actually slashed an officer's cavalryman and his horse to death in front of him. The yellow gelding roared and stepped directly over the fallen corpse.

And pass!

But when they saw that he was shouting to give way, his men showed no mercy at all, and killed three or four cavalrymen who were blocking the way. The remaining officers and soldiers were frightened when they saw this scene, and they pulled their horses' reins to avoid them.

The horse bumped into the head of Lord Commander-in-Chief.

Although the rebel spearmen on both sides of the road were dangerous, they were still not as sharp as General Yu's sword. Suddenly there was a fierce squeeze on the road, and many cavalry were knocked off their horses, and several war horses were also hit.

Knocked to the ground, Yu Jue slashed and killed several soldiers who were unable to avoid him, and actually cut his way through the center of the crowded and chaotic army cavalry, galloping from the front to the rear.

Passing through the cavalry, Yu Juequan galloped backwards without stopping, cutting off more than ten spears thrust from the roadside with his long knife. The yellow gelding also jumped up and down, jumping over five or six stumbling ropes.

At this time, the rebels and horses on the hillsides on both sides had already rushed forward, but Yu Jue was still one step faster. He actually rode his horse to escape from the last gap when the back road was cut off, and galloped towards the brigade officer who was hundreds of feet behind.

Army infantry.

As soon as Yu Jue escaped, the remaining officers and cavalry became even more panicked and huddled together in a chaotic mess. Some people tried to rush out after Yu Jue, but it was not that easy to rush out.

If he stumbled over a horse rope, he would be assassinated by a spearman on the roadside. The road back was soon cut off by rebel soldiers rushing from the hillside, and the five hundred cavalrymen who were trapped in a tight siege were about to be annihilated.

The battle situation down the slope was clearly seen by Hua Bushi, who was standing on horseback on the hillside. The young master suddenly nodded and said: "Yu Jue is indeed a general. I was not wrong."

Yang Jiangyi wondered: "As a general, he saw that all his troops were about to be wiped out, but he left the cavalry alone and only focused on escaping for his own life. He also wounded many of his subordinates. How could such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death be a general?

talent?"[

Hua Bushi said: "The five hundred cavalry were ambushed and surrounded by more than five times the number of rebels. Their total destruction was irreversible. Yu Jue made a decisive decision at this juncture and gave up his cavalry to protect the commander. The choice he made was not wrong. He could not hesitate.
