Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

Chapter 751 Repent, step by step, you fall into the trap!

Just as Wang Li stepped out of the tent, a low rumbling sound came from afar, as if the earth was shaking. The sound echoed in the air, becoming clearer and clearer, and Wang Li's face instantly became solemn.

As a veteran general, Wang Li was very familiar with this sound - it was the sound of war horses' hooves! Moreover, judging from the scale of the sound, there were at least a thousand war horses galloping towards him.

Wang Li was filled with disbelief. He knew that Zhang Liang only had 2,000 men left. How could he send more than 1,000 men, all cavalry, to launch a surprise attack? This was totally unreasonable, especially for this type of attack from behind. Even if Zhang Liang's troops could fly, they couldn't do it!

So the answer was almost unsurprising, that is, he had fallen into a trap carefully designed by Zhang Liang. The ambush troops that were coming to attack now must have been ambushed by Zhang Liang outside Yangping Pass in advance. In other words, from the very beginning, he was played around by the other party. The gathering of troops towards Nanjun and the back and forth transfer of troops were all just a trap set by Zhang Liang. Even the stubborn defense of Yangping Pass today was part of this trap.

The purpose of this game is very clear, that is, to let him see the so-called "opportunity" and then rush to grab it. Once he does this, he will be defeated by the opponent in one fell swoop. After thinking this through, Wang Li's face became extremely ugly. He could never have imagined that Zhang Liang was so far-sighted and calculated him to this extent. He was like a fool, step by step walking into this carefully laid trap.

Not only that, Wang Li also realized another problem. That is, the disagreement between him and General Lu must have been part of the other party's plan. Moreover, even this point was cleverly used by the other party, which led to his current situation of being ambushed.

At this moment, a deafening rumble sounded like thunder, as if the earth was shaking. Outside the camp, under the blazing flames of countless torches, Ying Bu led his cavalry and galloped like a storm, and in the blink of an eye, they had reached the gate of the camp.

At this critical moment, the troops led by Wang Li finally realized that the enemy was right in front of them! However, since they were all immersed in a deep sleep before, it was not easy to quickly organize an effective resistance. From the messenger conveying the order, to the soldiers waking up from their sleep, to getting up, putting on armor, and picking up weapons, this series of seemingly simple actions became extremely slow due to the soldiers' sleepiness and haste.

At this time, the enemy troops led by Ying Bu were approaching the camp gate like a hungry tiger. Although Ying Bu's martial arts were not as powerful as Gao Yao's, he had extraordinary military talent and decisive decision-making ability. Faced with the closed camp gate, Ying Bu made a prompt decision and immediately ordered his men to tie the camp gate with a rope.

Ying Bu's men moved quickly. They skillfully threw out ropes and accurately caught the door hinges. Then, they worked together and rushed back quickly like a raging torrent. More than a dozen horses exerted their strength at the same time, and the originally solid wooden door became fragile in an instant under the impact of this huge force.

With a crisp sound of "crack", the camp gate shattered into countless wood chips in the blink of an eye, flying everywhere. The shattering of the camp gate seemed to be a signal, and Ying Bu's army rushed into Wang Li's camp like a black whirlwind.

Although Wang Li's troops had already begun to organize a counterattack, trying to stop Ying Bu's attack with dense arrows, it was too late. Their arrows seemed so insignificant in front of Ying Bu's surging offensive, just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and could not play a substantial role at all.

As the camp gate was broken, Ying Bu rushed into Wang Li's camp without hesitation. His roar resounded on the battlefield like thunder: "Kill! Kill! Kill!" This roar seemed like an order. When the soldiers of the Southern Border Army heard it, they burst out with amazing fighting power in an instant like a ignited gunpowder barrel.

The Southern Border Army rushed into Wang Li's army like a tiger or a wolf, with the force of thunder and lightning. Their charge was extremely fast, and they had reached Wang Li's army in the blink of an eye. If Wang Li's army really only had one or two thousand people at this time, with Wang Li's ability to command troops, he might be able to quickly organize an effective resistance, and even possibly wipe out the enemy.

The reality was cruel. At this time, Wang Li had 5,000 cavalrymen in his camp, while Ying Bu had only 15,000. The huge difference in numbers doomed the outcome of this battle from the beginning.

When Ying Bu led his army into the camp, most of Wang Li's soldiers were still in chaos. Some had just walked out of the tents and had not figured out the situation; others were hurriedly dressing in the tents, preparing for battle. The whole scene was in chaos, with no order at all.

Wang Li was extremely anxious at this time. He galloped on his horse, shuttled across the battlefield like a gust of wind, and scanned the situation around him with a sharp gaze. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to stabilize the situation as soon as possible and stop Ying Bu's army from continuing to attack.

Wang Li waved his spear, shouted orders, and directed his soldiers to bravely resist the enemy's attack. However, just as he was doing his best, another soldier came running over and reported to him with a pale face: "General, General, a large number of southern troops appeared on the right and left wings. They are less than 500 steps away from the camp and are closing in on it! Moreover, according to estimates, their number is probably no less than 10,000!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, making Wang Li feel even more depressed. Although he had anticipated the enemy's movements, when he actually heard the news, his heart still sank. There were 20,000 enemy troops, and he had not even noticed that they had circled behind him. This meant that from the beginning, the enemy was determined to annihilate his army and not give him any chance to escape.

If it was a head-on confrontation, Wang Li might still have some room for maneuver. However, the reality was cruel. They were attacked suddenly, and the entire camp was instantly thrown into chaos. The enemy was not only aggressive, but also formed a siege, which made it impossible for Wang Li to find any opportunity or possibility to counterattack.

"General, break out quickly!" "Yes, General, there is no time to lose, please break out quickly, don't delay any longer!" At this critical moment, the soldiers beside Wang Li shouted anxiously, urging him to take action as soon as possible. Faced with such a critical situation, Wang Li knew that the camp was already in danger, and any hesitation would only make the situation worse.
