Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 218
The cavalrymen of the Northern Wei Dynasty who "fleeed" from the camp of the Song Army lay down day and night, for fear that the Song Army behind them would catch up and catch them, which would prevent their intelligence from being sent out.

But they didn't meet the pursuers for a few days, so they became more courageous and accelerated towards the eldest son.

When the eldest son Mu Guan and Qiu Dui learned about the decadent scene in Wang Zhongde's barracks, they were also overjoyed.

"Oh! I'll just say it!"

"Nanren Tiantian, this famous general and that famous general, are mostly touted!"

The two of them had concerns at first, but now they don't take Wang Zhongde seriously.

They are even studying how to join forces with Xi Jin to attack Tan Daoji.

Mu Guan smiled and said to Qiudui: "I accept the credit this time, how about the spoils being yours?"

"nature."

Mu Guan started from the eldest son with 2 cavalry, while Qiu Dui led [-] cavalry to slowly press the formation behind.

After all, in their eyes, Wang Zhongde is already a dead person, so there is no need to worry about other things.

Mu Guan led [-] cavalry roaring from the north, and when he arrived at the Song army camp in Zhi County, he saw that his defenses were relaxed, so he completely took his heart back.

"Take that camp! Capture Wang Zhongde alive!"

"Capture Wang Zhongde alive!"

Shouting slogans left and right, the horseshoes brought up the dust and rushed towards the Song Army camp.

Originally, Mu Guan was only a few miles away from the camp of the Song Army, but for the cavalry, this distance could be shortened by breathing.

The cavalry at the front rushed into the camp excitedly after breaking through the Song army's rejection of their horses. Their faces were full of pride, and they were already fantasizing about countless scenes of the Song army begging for mercy under their horses' hooves.

but……

After rushing into the big camp, he continued to advance hundreds of steps, and the surrounding environment was quiet and terrifying.

This gave the Northern Wei cavalry at the front a bad premonition.

He also deliberately opened a piece of Song Army's military tent, which was still empty.

"withdraw!"

"Get out!"

This person has been battle-tested for a long time, and he realized immediately that he and others had been tricked.

It's a pity that it is easy for the cavalry in the rear to come in, but it is difficult to get out.

When they came in, they didn't notice that the position of the refusal horse they broke through was actually an "inverted eight" shape.

Big imports, small exports.

This is the trick that fishermen along the river use to catch fish. Once the fish enters, it is difficult to get out through the narrow outlet full of sharp thorns.

And this time is the time to close the net!
"Rocket ready!"

When the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty was in a mess in the camp, several rows of chariots appeared on the hillside near the camp, and countless Song army archers with bows and arrows appeared on the chariots.

A ball of flame was burning at the tip of their arrows, and at Wang Zhongde's order, they shot the rockets condescendingly into the camp.

The tents, wood, and even the weeds that Wang Zhongde sent people to pile up intentionally or unintentionally in the camp are all flammable substances. In addition, the winter weather in the north is dry. After such a fire, the entire Song Army camp quickly fell into a sea of ​​flames. .

Mu Guan, who was originally in a happy mood at the rear, hadn't realized what was going on, but saw his cavalry of thousands of people trapped in the flames of the Song Army's camp.

At this time, countless chariots rushed down from the other side of the hillside.

Behind the chariot were soldiers of the Song army who were tired of eating meat these days.

After recharging their energy for a few days, they rushed towards Mu Guan's army with boundless fighting spirit.

In fact, the Song army general who knew the inside story was very grateful to Mu Guan.

If it wasn't for coaxing them, Wang Zhongde would have been ashamed to go to Luoyang to feed a large amount of meat to his soldiers for several days in a row.

In the past few days, the amount of meat eaten by Wang Zhongde's troops has even exceeded the amount of meat eaten by Liu Yu's soldiers.

Such happy days were unimaginable before.

In order to repay Mu Guan, the general of the Song army decided to capture him alive as much as possible, and then see if he can have a few more meat meals...

Mu Guan didn't wake up until Song Jun was only a few hundred steps away from him with his heavy chariot. He hurriedly turned his horse's head: "Withdraw! Withdraw!"

Don't look at Mu Guangui as the Taiwei of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but he has never fought a few tough battles in his life.

In the first half of his life, he followed Tuobagui, and Tuobagui and Xi Jin fought in front of him in the battles. He was responsible for acting as a partial teacher to attack other people's flanks, so he was always at a disadvantage and became famous at a young age.

Now suddenly being ambushed by Wang Zhongde, he has lost the most important calmness attribute of a commander, and is about to retreat in a hurry.

Mu Guan was in a mess, and the other Northern Wei cavalry panicked even more.

They have come from afar, and they are a little uncertain.

This time, not only did he fall into the trap, but the commander also had no ability to withstand pressure. For a while, everyone retreated in panic.

The cavalrymen of the Northern Wei Dynasty who were trapped in the camp of the Song Army wanted to cry but had no tears at this time.

Others can run, but what about them?
Song Jun saw that Mu Guan was forced to leave, but he didn't catch up.

Use two legs to chase four legs, except for a one-minded person like Shen Tianzi, basically no one would do that.

What's more, Wang Zhongde's goal is not Mu Guan.

He stood on the hillside looking at the burning Song army camp.

"I'm afraid that there are three to four thousand people trapped this time. How can we get together two thousand horses?"

Wang Zhongde seemed to regard the cavalrymen of the Northern Wei Dynasty as money-spreading boys who came to send horses.

In fact, most of the generals of the Song Army knew about Fu Hongzhi's elite cavalry.

Everyone is jealous, and they also know that those horses are all Qin Wang Liu Yizhen who sits in Jiankang.

So no one put their minds on those war horses.

But everyone wants cavalry, since they can't get it from Fu Hongzhi, then go grab the Northern Wei's by themselves.

Wang Zhongde turned back the chariot that had just rushed out, cooperated with other chariots to encircle the camp, and watched the Northern Wei cavalry struggling in the flames.

"General of the Song Army! We are willing to surrender!"

A cavalry soldier from the Northern Wei Dynasty who could speak Chinese hurriedly shouted.

In fact, when Mu Guan retreated, they knew that they were basically hopeless.

At this moment, seeing the Song army encircling but not killing, and knowing the Song army's intentions, they immediately began to surrender.

Seeing the surrender on the other side, Song Jun began to put out the fire in a leisurely manner.

Finally, according to the count, more than 1000 war horses were seized this time, most of which had burns on their bodies, and only more than [-] horses could be used directly.

Wang Zhongde directly asked the soldiers to kill some severely wounded horses and eat them, and some burned horses also became the dinner of the Song army.

The horse meat is actually very fragrant, and there is no "horse meat sour" taste at all except for a little stuffy teeth.

It was purely a rumor made up to prevent the common people from poaching and killing war horses.

In this way, the soldiers under Wang Zhongde's department gave a meal without saying a word, and gained a military exploit that was not big or small.

Wang Zhongde, who directed all this, did not follow the soldiers to eat meat, but took a bowl of tea made from "tea leaves" sent from Jiankang and drank leisurely.

A good fighter has no great achievements, so Wang Zhongde couldn't predict it.
