The essence of ambush war lies in surprise.

As Chang Zhong led his troops out of the valley and the alien soldiers and horses who were half-crossing launched a charge. The two armies collided fiercely on the banks of the Yingshui River. Since the An Lushan rebellion, the largest war in the Central Plains began.

The Anxi Army had 70,000 soldiers and horses on both sides of the north and south, and 100,000 foreign troops. Unpredictable, Chang Zhong caught the attack of the foreign troops off guard. The Anxi Army was like a sharp arrow unsheathed, and in an instant, half of the foreign troops who had crossed the Yingshui River. The attack launched from the front instantly broke through the enemy's central army. After a shrill and chaotic scream and the wailing of countless war horses, Chang Zhong led his troops from the south to the north and penetrated the enemy on the south bank.

At the same time, two other Anxi troops surrounded by left and right flanks also launched a charge from the east and west sides. When the enemy was still rushing to defend, the Anxi troops on the flanks came to kill him. After a burst of horse hooves, the enemy was penetrated again. The two soldiers and horses on the flank met in the enemy's central army and then continued to rush forward. Among the dense crowds of enemy soldiers, the Anxi troops rushed out of two blank areas by the Anxi troops.

The night was dark and surrounded by thick fog. The enemy was ambushed again. After Chang Zhong's 30,000 Anxi cavalry launched a charge at the same time, countless enemy casualties were killed and injured, thousands of corpses were added on the ground, and thousands of people fell from the horses and were trampled on by their own war horses.

The injured man rolled and screamed with his hands in his arms, and the war horses fled in panic and stomped on many people in desperation. After the three Anxi Army launched a charge, the enemy generals were furious and cursed and beat the soldiers under his command. However, the defensive formation was not listed for a long time, and there were people on the Yingshui River.

The enemy was originally a temporary united army by many tribes. In terms of personal combat quality, the combat effectiveness of the entire army was much worse in terms of cooperation and obedience. For generals, it was very difficult to command this group of temporary coalition forces, unlike the Anxi Army, who had no reason to go through fire and water.

Seeing the enemy's chaos, Chang Zhong was delighted and shouted: "Set fires by the river so that the other side can see them."

Several torches were lit and quickly mounted on the sand by the river, forming a simple bonfire shape. The flames became brighter and brighter, and the light shone directly into the distance of the other side through the thick fog.

The fire of faith has been raised, and the troops of Xianyu Zhongtong Quhuan on the north bank of the Yingshui River will launch a charge at the same time.

After completing this major event, Chang Zhong calmed down a little, raised the horizontal knife in his hand and slashed over an alien herder who was trying to sneak attack him from behind. Then he raised the knife and shouted: "Run the front again, continue to pierce the enemy's central army on the left and right flanks, hurry up!"

The greatest function of cavalry is its powerful collision ability. Its rapid maneuverability defeats the enemy again and again with lightning speed, making it impossible for the enemy to form a formation at all, and can only gather in small units. When suddenly attacked by three cavalry groups, it is usually difficult for enemy generals to organize effective attacks, because the cavalry's charge comes faster than his orders.

However, this alien army is quite extraordinary today. After all, it was the elite army of the northern alien tribes that An Lushan had borrowed at a great cost. When the Anxi Army launched a charge from three directions, the enemy generals finally found the gap for the Anxi cavalry to turn their horses, roared a few barbaric words, and then chopped off several alien herders who were panicking and running around everywhere.

Under the strong pressure of the general, the army that had already crossed Yingshui gradually recovered from its calmness. It quickly formed a round defensive array while the Anxi Army was breathing. The defensive array was like a huge millstone, and the edge was slowly turning. The alien herders surrounded in the middle were not idle either. They took out the bow and arrow from the saddle bag. With a loud shout from the general, the sky was filled with arrows and shot towards the Anxi Army soldiers on the middle road.

The middle route was commanded by Chang Zhong himself. Before he could charge again, he heard the countless robes behind him making painful groans. Many people fell to the ground by arrows. Chang Zhong was shocked. Then his left arm numb and he also got an arrow. The guard behind him nervously stepped forward and surrounded Chang Zhong tightly in the middle.

"Don't worry about me, charge! Break through their defense formation!" Chang Zhong roared with glaring eyes, then suddenly urged the horse's belly and rushed towards the enemy first.

Seeing that the main general had rushed out, the soldiers of the Anxi Army behind did not dare to delay, so they hurriedly urged the horse to catch up with Chang Zhong, galloping while quickly forming an attacking cone formation. When the enemy released the third round of arrow rain, the Anxi Army in the middle also rushed to the enemy's defensive formation.

The two armies collided fiercely again, and Chang Zhong rushed to the front, waved the horizontal sword with one hand and grabbed the reins of the war horse with the other, and rushed into the middle of the enemy's round formation without hesitation, like a sharp sword cutting through the flesh and blood, then drove straight in, rushing from the south to the north.

Although the foreign soldiers were barbarians, they were very fierce on the battlefield. They were quite panicked when they encountered a sudden surprise attack. However, after the Anxi Army charged three or four times, the enemy generals had recovered their calmness. At the same time, ordinary soldiers also understood that they had to obey the general's military orders. So under the general's stern scolding, the enemy began to form formations one by one on the flat sandy land on the river bank of more than ten miles on the south bank of the Yingshui River.

Most of the formations are round defensive formations, with the defensive formations not far apart, each formation has thousands of people and hundreds of people. After forming the formation, it quickly runs. While resisting the charge of the Anxi Army, it consciously approaches each other. Once the two formations come into contact, they will immediately merge into one to form a larger defensive formation.

One by one, the enemy's defense array became larger and larger, like the cell phagocytosis in the microscopic world.

As the formation grew bigger, their troops began to divide their labor in an orderly manner. The shield-holding circular formation wandered around, behind them were the weapons, and in the middle of the circular formation were bows and arrows, shooting round after round of arrow rains at the Anxi Army from time to time.

Chang Zhong suffered several injuries, and at this moment, there were still several arrows stuck on the fish scale armor on his back. Fortunately, the armor's protection helped him block several deadly arrows.

Seeing the enemy gradually becoming orderly from the initial panic and the defensive formation became more and more rigorous, Chang Zhong was very anxious and the advantage of the battlefield raid was unknowingly lost. At this time, he had no choice but to fight head-on.

"Tell them to rush to the east and west flanks again, and they must not be allowed to attack from defense!" Chang Zhong shouted with glaring.

The northern alien soldiers were basically composed of herders from various tribes. Their strength was to charge. Chang Zhong knew very clearly that the enemy's advantages and strengths must be suppressed. Otherwise, once they could free up their hands to attack on the initiative, the Anxi Army's advantage would be smaller and the casualties would become greater. The robes all came from Anxi to follow Mr. Gu, and they really could not afford to lose.

The battle situation at this time was somewhat out of Chang Zhong's control. He did not expect that the northern alien soldiers were so powerful. Their reaction ability, decision on the battlefield and personal force were not inferior to the Anxi Army. If this army really came to An Lushan's hands, I don't know how many years the Tang Dynasty's great cause of suppressing the rebellion would be dragged down.

The east and west flanks launched a charge again, but the effect of this charge was not great. The enemy's defensive formation grew older and bigger. Under the command of the general, the formation became more and more rigorous. After the Anxi Army on the flank launched the charge, it could only break through their shields. Countless halberds and spears stabbed out, and the soldiers of the Anxi Army suffered heavy casualties.

Chang Zhong's eyes twitched straight, and he roared decisively: "Send the magic camp five miles away to come and arrange the array, hurry!"

The guard quickly turned his horse's head and rushed backwards.

Unorganized and undisciplined Sun Jiushi lay alone on a hill more than 300 steps away from the battlefield. At this time, the fog had not dissipated. He could not see the situation on the battlefield very clearly, but he could hear the fierce fighting sounds in the distance and vaguely see the enemy camp listing one defensive formation.

Sun Jiushi also experienced the battle formation. He knew that the situation was wrong. Logically speaking, the enemy army at this time should have been defeated by the Anxi Army. They either died under the knife or fled in scattered areas. And they could form a defensive formation in panic. This enemy army was not simple.

When he fought against Tubo, Sun Jiushi made great contributions. With sufficient experience, he knew how to reap fruitful results on the battlefield.

He made contributions back then because he shot dozens of enemy generals alone. This shows that killing enemy generals is easier to make contributions. Sun Jiushi is just an ordinary soldier and does not have so many righteous thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country. The only thing he thought about was to make contributions.

If you make a contribution, you can get promoted and rewards, and the prince will also look at him higher.

Sun Jiushi narrowed his eyes and tried hard to find the figure of the enemy general in the thick fog. His hands were flintlock rifles loaded with ammunition.

After a long time, a burly man riding on a horse wearing half a set of armor appeared in his sight, and his figure appeared in the thick fog. Sun Jiushi immediately determined that this man should be the general of the enemy. Although he was not a big official, he didn't have to worry about so many things, and he just knocked down with one shot.

So Sun Jiushiping raised his flintlock rifle, aimed at the figure, and began to adjust his breathing.

Sun Jiushi is quite confident about his own shooting skills. He is the best in the shooting camp, which is his ability to convince the public.

The breathing rhythm became slower and slower, and Sun Jiushi's brain was empty until the end, his breathing and the flintlock rifle in his hand had become one, and Sun Jiushi suddenly pulled the trigger.

With a loud bang, the enemy general who had been aimed at him for a long time fell to the ground.

Interestingly, the fighting sounds on the battlefield were too fierce. Sun Jiushi's gunshot did not attract much attention. Many people only saw the general falling to the ground for no reason. The guards around were stunned for a while, then looked up blankly, without knowing why their general suddenly fell from the horse.

When the guard leaned over to check, he found a blood hole as thick as a thumb on the general's neck, and the blood inside was still flowing out. After the general's whole body twitched for a few times, he disappeared and was obviously no longer alive.

The guard screamed in horror, and said something barbaric, and the enemy troops surrounding the dead generals actually became in chaos.

Sun Jiushi got up and cleaned up, planning to change places and continue to fire the cold gun.

After the dead general fell to the ground, the enemy army was in a considerable chaos. Sun Jiushi also saw it and scratched his head, feeling that he had plotted against a considerable general of the enemy army.

Could it be another great achievement?

Sun Jiushi smiled and decided to continue to do his best and continue to ambush in the dark and fire a cold gun.
