Chapter 60: Ambush

According to Li Qin's suggestion, Liu Beijun's exploration horses set off in large numbers with the locals found by the county order of Ren County. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

They marched north, searching for the whereabouts of the Yellow Turban Army between Changshan Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom, and Julu County.

And not long after they set off, Liu Bei's army also quietly left the city. This army is based on Guan Yu as the main commander, Zhang Fei as the deputy general, and Xi Zhicai and Liu Ye as the team to join the army.

At Li Qin's suggestion, Liu Bei's order to them was to approach the border of the Three Counties while concealing himself as much as possible.

"Since we plan to eat the prey directly, then we hunters must be careful not to scare the prey away." This is Li Qin's idea, which is very simple to say, but it has been unanimously approved.

In fact, some things in the art of war have a similar principle to hunting. In this way, several generals are gone. Only Liu Bei, Li Qin, Zhang Chao and the two thousand elite horsemen led by Zhang Chao were left in Ren County. Li Qin asked Liu Bei to leave Zhang Chao's men behind, on the one hand, to create the illusion that the team was still in Ren County, and on the other hand, to ensure the success of Guan, Zhang and others.

Of course, there was also the reason why the cavalry was so fast that they could find Guan and Zhang in a very short time.

After all, Li Qin asked Liu Bei to give Guan Yu and Zhang Fei orders to lurk, approach, not attack.

As for the attack?

That's something to wait for the two sides to come after the round. Because Li Qin didn't know how the Yellow Turban Army's attack on those little heroes was carried out, did it rush in? Or split the attack? This needs to be supported by intelligence. After all, the Yellow Turban Army's different ways of sweeping Xiao Haoqiang determined that Li Qin's strategy for attacking and suppressing was different.

"If it's a rush, then we'll have to set up a big thick pocket to solve this problem once and for all. If it's a split attack, then we can only focus on the big and let go of the small, and take down a few big-headed leaders first. Li Qin rubbed his eyebrows with his hand and said helplessly.

"Then wait for information!" Liu Bei smiled kindly.

Responding to the enemy's dynamics is the norm in warfare. Liu Bei didn't think there was anything helpless about this. After seeing Li Qin's reaction, Liu Bei remembered that Li Qin was a young man, a young man who was about the same age as his second brother.

"He's so good right now, wouldn't it be ...... if he continued to work out?" Liu Bei felt that he had found a treasure.

So, everyone waited like this, wearing helmets and armor, and waited quietly until the relevant news came.

"Lord Liu, Lord Liu...... There's news ahead. Just after the afternoon, the county magistrate of Ren County happily handed over the latest information to Liu Bei, and immediately stepped aside very respectfully.

Li Qin looked at this coldly, he felt that this county commander's respect for Liu Bei seemed to be a bit excessive, and it didn't seem to be just because Liu Bei sent someone to save him last night. "Maybe it's because Liu Bei is already a high-ranking official with two thousand stones, and he wants to stammer? Well, that's a possibility. Li Qin speculated. But he didn't say much. After all, it doesn't hurt the other party to do this to their own side.

“…… Did they divide their troops? Just when Li Qin indifferently examined the county order of Ren County, Liu Bei had also finished reading the new information that the other party handed over to him.

The intelligence was very clear: the Yellow Turban Army was divided, and the 20,000-strong army was divided into 5,000 troops, and at the same time pounced on the four dock forts at the junction of the three counties. Two of these forts are located in the territory of Changshan Kingdom, one is located in Julu County, and the other is in Zhaoguo County.

"Map ......," Li Qin called in a loud voice.

The county magistrate of Ren County hurriedly took the map over and spread it on the table.

According to the description in the intelligence, Li Qin put the four soybeans in his pocket in four places in the corner of the map, marking the distance and proximity of the four dock forts. Looking at the unequal quadrilaterals connected by these four dock forts, Li Qin's originally frowning brows were completely loosened, and a confident smile appeared on Li Qin's face again: "Lord, let's divide our troops too!" ”

Division? It's a great idea. Originally, Liu Bei and Li Qin said that they would do this in this situation.

It's just that it's okay to divide the troops, but how to divide the troops is another question!

For such a thing, of course, Liu Bei will talk about it after he meets Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. At that moment, a group of people led two thousand cavalry to stand out from Ren County with extreme fanfare. Like a whirlwind, it galloped northward, during which the spies of the organic spirit led the way for the army, bringing Liu Bei to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the army to lurk in a small mountain pass, and they were mainly infantry at this moment, and they were all silent. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei. Several members of the army gathered around to discuss the division of troops.

"How's it going?" As soon as the two sides met, Liu Bei opened his mouth to ask about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

In fact, the place where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were lurking was very close to the south of the four dock forts attacked by the Yellow Turban Army.

When he was about to come in, Liu Bei looked back and saw a black smoke rushing into the sky in the northeast. Apparently the Yellow Turbans had breached the dock fort there. Liu Bei estimated that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei couldn't have understood this scene, so he asked so much.

"The black smoke rose an hour ago. The two gentlemen judged that the Yellow Turbans had already broken through there...... They suggested that we seize the opportunity to attack the rear of the Yellow Turbans while the Yellow Turbans had breached this fort and annihilate this force...... After all, our main force is here, but its strength is much stronger than the Yellow Turban Army's partial division. Guan Yu, as the temporary commander of this road, answered Liu Bei's question very bluntly when Liu Bei asked.

"What do you see?" Liu Bei asked him.

"I think it's an opportunity!" Guan Yu opened his eyes slightly and said earnestly.

"Well, let's go straight to it!" When Liu Bei heard this, he didn't say anything about dividing the troops at the moment, and directly gave the order to attack.

It's just that this attack is not as simple as killing the Yellow Turban Army directly from behind. In fact, after agreeing to Guan Yu's suggestion, Liu Bei still made arrangements for the operation of the army: Guan Yu was on the left, Zhang Fei was on the right, Liu Bei and Li Qin were together with Xi Zhicai and Liu Ye as the Chinese army, while Zhang Chao led the elite cavalry to patrol around the dock fort and intercept the caught fish of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Try not to let them get away with any of them." Liu Bei ordered loudly: "Encircle and annihilate." I need to completely encircle this team. ”

"No!" The people received the order and immediately went down to make arrangements.

At this time, black smoke had been rising above Yanjiabao for a full hour and a half. The shouting and killing in the bunker had gradually ceased, and had been replaced by shouting, crying, and wailing. The Yan family is the clan surname in this area, and it is a famous wealthy family within a radius of thirty miles, with thousands of hectares of fertile land and dozens of shops.

But with the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army, such an existence has fallen into the dust. After the Dock Fort was breached, all those who lived in the Dock Fort were treated the same as the master and the slaves, and the grain was removed, the gold and silver were plundered, the women were forced, and the men were slaughtered...... All kinds of evils in the world are playing out in various places in this dock fort at this moment.

No one stopped them. For Du Yuan, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, this act was a very simple act of venting: the soldiers had been confined to the camp for a long time, and they needed to vent their anguish - it was as simple as that.

As for the pain and blood and tears of these people who were vented by them, Du Yuan didn't care. Because these people are all strong, they are all bad people. There are no "human rights" for the bad guys and the families of the bad guys.

"Enjoy such a feast. We gather grain and grass here for a day and then leave. Du Yuan ordered. When he gave the order, he was holding the two young ladies of the Yan family who were less than fifteen in his arms, laughing happily.

Collecting grain and grass is a job he likes.

Thinking of the maniacal smile on his black face, he immediately stretched out his tongue and leaned directly into the fragrant shoulder of the little girl in his arms.

It's so fragrant, it's so white.

Just as the Yellow Turban Army was enjoying the feast from top to bottom, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's encirclement of this dock fort was quietly unfolding.

It was only ten miles from the mountain col to Wubao, but Liu Bei and the others carefully spent nearly an hour in order to ensure the secrecy of their actions. As they approached the fort, they scattered their forces, stooped down, and advanced by the houses outside the fort and the fields that rose and fell in the wind.

Perhaps, they were not cautious enough to move forward, and more or less made a little movement. But the Yellow Turbans in the dock fort were so absorbed in enjoying their feast that they didn't notice any movement outside the city.

Even though Du Yuan arranged dozens of sentinels at the head of the castle to reconnoiter the movements around him. But these are useless, who let Du Yuan make too much noise in the dock fort, and he sent him to the city The brothers are dissatisfied.

Why is everyone enjoying it, just a few of us basking in the sun here? It's not that basking in the sun is bad, but it's summer sun!

Hot and thirsty, they were a little distracted.

And just as they were distracted, Liu Bei and Li Qin had already sneaked less than thirty steps away from the main gate of Wubao Fort. This was the edge of the millet fields, and beyond that was a flat land, completely exposed to the eyes of the sentinels at the head of the Dock Fort.

"How?" Liu Bei asked Li Qin in a low voice.

"That's pretty much it here! Let's get ready! Li Qin nodded and gave Liu Bei a definite answer.

"Good!" Liu Bei waved his hand lightly, and dozens of soldiers who were good at bows and arrows bent over to Liu Bei's side.

"Ready!" Liu Bei ordered.

All of them, including Li Qin and Liu Bei themselves, carried bows and arrows.

"Shoot!" Liu Bei shouted.

At this voice, Liu Bei, Li Qin, and the soldiers stood up in the field together, and in the jealous and surprised eyes of those Yellow Turban Army sentries, they pulled out the hard bow in their hands. Between the bows, the cold glow of the iron arrows flickered.

"Enemy ......" At the last moment, the sentry of the Yellow Turban Army raised his throat.

The next moment, before he could finish his words, dozens of long arrows cut through the sky and sank into their vital points at once.

“…… Raid! Another word in their throats they couldn't utter after all.
