The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 296 Leading the King into the Battle

Since the enemy had arrived, it was of course impossible to let them escape back, not to mention that his strategy at the time was to chase most of the enemies back to Zuoguan, and then take advantage of the fact that the Zuoguan gate could not be closed in time to kill their way into Guanzhong.

After all, it takes two quarters of an hour just to open and close the gate of Zuoguan. If the enemy wants their cavalry to return to the city, it will give them enough time to react.

Not to mention, they also got a secret weapon that could blow a hole in the city gate, enough for the cavalry to rush into the city.

Thinking of this, Tuoermu no longer hesitated, and instantly jumped on his horse, shouting to the surrounding Northern Mongolian ambush troops: "The whole army will chase them, don't let them escape back to Zuoguan City!"

Following his voice, the Northern Mongolian cavalry lying in ambush around them immediately moved, and the charge horn sounded.

The ambushed soldiers who had not heard his roar also knew that this was an order to attack. All of the Northern Mongolian cavalry immediately chased after the 50,000 cavalry at Zuoguan.

Rushing in the front were the 5,000 Northern Mongolian Wolf Riders, the most powerful cavalry of Northern Mongolia and also the fastest.

Unfortunately, they reacted a step too slow, allowing the cavalry from Zuoguan to escape the encirclement. Even though they pursued them all the way, they were still unable to escape because they were close to Zuoguan.

They could only catch up with the Zuoguan cavalry in front of Zuoguan.

However, this is enough. After all, the city gate is only that big. If the cavalry from Zuoguan want to enter the city, they will have to sacrifice some of their cavalry to fight with them.

Seeing this, Tuoermu had a hint of sarcasm on his face. The people of Zuoguan would never have thought of their superiority in military strength. They couldn't be held back by a fight!

At that time, Zuoguan would either face the loss of 50,000 cavalrymen or be able to take advantage of the situation and attack the city.

Tuolmu led the army and followed the wolf cavalry in pursuit. Although he was a little angry, he also looked excited.

We can't annihilate the enemy in the ambush circle, but the same is true in front of Zuoguan City. It's just a pity that we can't slaughter them one-sidedly.

In this way, the two sides rushed towards Zuoguan City, one chasing the other.

But at this moment, Tuoermu was shocked to find that the cavalry at Zuoguan began to disperse to both sides.

Moreover, they were in a semi-encirclement and began to encircle their army from the opposite direction.

This situation made Tuoermu a little dumbfounded. Are the Zuoguan cavalry so fierce? Not only did they not return to the city to escape, but they also wanted to surround them in the opposite direction?

Fifty thousand surrounded their one hundred thousand? This is ridiculous! It's simply courting death! Not to mention the combat effectiveness, the Zuoguan cavalry is not as good as them, the number of people alone is twice as much.

He couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart, and didn't even react to it. They wanted to come and die, and he was happy to do so. Just let them surround them!

They even thought of rushing towards Zuoguan City ahead.

Because, at this time, the Zuoguan city gate was actually open, and no one had even closed it. This situation made him even more ecstatic.

No matter whether the other party forgot to close the gate or there was a trap waiting for him, as long as he captured the city gate, the left pass would be broken!

Tuoermu commanded his army and rushed towards the Zuoguan city gate. As for the Zuoguan cavalry that half-surrounded them, they didn't want to pay any attention to them.

However, just as they rushed to the front, suddenly, the charging cavalry began to fall down in large numbers.

The speed behind was too fast, so they collided directly with the cavalry in front. In the blink of an eye, thousands of Northern Mongolian cavalry collided with each other, causing heavy casualties.

They looked at the Zuoguan city gate in front of them, but they could no longer rush through.

The front army of 100,000 cavalrymen was in chaos. When this happened, Tuoermu knew that he had been tricked, and fear surged in his heart.

One hundred thousand cavalry charged! What a huge mistake. He shouldn't have wanted to destroy only 50,000 Zuoguan cavalry at that time. He should have been more cautious.

But the situation was urgent at the time and he had no time to think about it. He got carried away and put all 100,000 cavalrymen on the battlefield.

But now there was a problem ahead, and the entire cavalry, because of their large numbers, were suddenly crowded in front of the Zuoguan Pass.

The bodies of the Northern Mongolian cavalrymen and horses were piled up in front of him. He didn't understand why a large number of his cavalrymen fell down inexplicably.

Now we can't rush forward, we can only charge in all directions to create distance.

But when he commanded his cavalry to charge in all directions, he suddenly discovered that the cavalry that were charging in all directions were falling down in large numbers.

He then realized that they were surrounded by a pile of spikes. The cavalry could not get out of the range of the spikes, and nearly 100,000 cavalry were trapped in it.

When Tuo Ermu saw this, he made a quick decision. His first thought was to retreat. He must not be trapped outside the Zuoguan City. He didn't know what other strategies the enemy had. Now that he had the upper hand, he couldn't continue to entangle with them.

His idea was good, but when he wanted to retreat, he found that the road behind him was also blocked. Although there were not many enemy cavalry in the way, it was indeed blocked.

His face changed drastically, but he still gritted his teeth and led his cavalry to attack the rear formation, trying to break out.

The cavalry behind him finally calmed down after the initial chaos, but everyone was surrounded in the middle, their faces filled with fear.

If they don't find a way to escape, once something unexpected happens, the entire army will collapse, and the result will be a great defeat.

"Kill... Follow me to kill." Tuoermu roared and rushed forward. The cavalry behind him reacted and also rushed towards the direction where Tuoermu was.

At this time, the cavalry blocking the road ahead suddenly made way. Tuo Ermu was stunned when he saw this scene, but when he saw the sharp object on the ground ahead, his pupils shrank slightly. He instinctively pulled the reins.

His speed slowed down, but the speed of many cavalrymen behind him did not slow down. After these cavalrymen rushed over, they crashed into the spikes.

Many cavalrymen fell down instantly because their horses were frightened. In less than three breaths of time, two to three thousand of them died in the charge.

But because of the charge of these cavalrymen, a big hole was broken in the spiked bamboo formation in front.

The moment he saw the hole, Tolmu was overjoyed and immediately led his cavalry to rush towards the hole.

In the blink of an eye, they rushed out of the encirclement. The tens of thousands of cavalrymen behind them also rushed in this direction. As for the surrounding directions, they no longer rushed into the encirclement.

Seeing that they were about to escape from this place, Tuoermu showed a look of ecstasy on his face. Finally, they could leave. Thinking of the horrible scene that frightened him just now, he was still frightened.

If they had not acted decisively just now, once they were surrounded, the cavalry's advantage would not have been brought into play, and if the enemy cavalry had charged back and forth several times, they might have been wiped out in front of Zuoguan.

But not long after he rushed out, suddenly, a whistling sound came from the left gate, and then three red fireworks rose into the air.
