Between Qingxun Mountain and Qianlin Mountain, there is a mountain road about 1,000 steps wide, and there are lush trees on both sides of the mountain road all the way to the mountain.

And this mountain road has always been the road to and from the caravan after all.

This is because this mountain road leads directly to Lake Mochizuki, and the only place that can be replenished with water is Lake Mochizuki, and the rest of the place is a barren saline land.

Because it is difficult to grow crops, there are no villages located in those areas.

Around Lake Mochizuki, there are more than a dozen fishing villages, and no matter how you think about it, it is also an excellent place for the Yunshan army to plunder and replenish drinking water.

When Yunqing and the others arrived, the army was encamped.

"Uncle Hong is really worthy of being an extraordinary person who followed the generation of military gods of the year. The choice of camp location is really impeccable. Yue Qingrou looked at the location of the camp and couldn't help but admire.

Hong Xiao did not choose the entrance of this mountain road, nor did he choose the location of the exit, but leaned on a slightly higher flat land a little further away from the exit.

Choosing this position, it is really offensive and defensible.

The cavalry took advantage of the momentum from this slightly higher flat ground to charge more powerfully.

And once something is wrong, the exit can be blocked when retreating, on this mountain road that is only more than a thousand steps wide, it is impossible for the enemy's army to rush up, and the soldiers on both sides who are really fighting are at most two or three thousand.

This kind of terrain is undoubtedly extremely advantageous to one's own side with few troops.

Yun Qing rolled his eyes, pointed to the entrance and said, "Here, let people dig up the road again, dig more traps, and try their best to hinder their camping and attacking." ”

"Well, good idea. Wanrong, lead people to tie straw people. Chen Xun took the archers to dig ravines on both sides to ambush. As for traps, Yunqing, you can take someone to do it," Yue Qingrou grinned: "Among those of us, only you are the most proficient in traps. ”

Yun Qing was speechless for a moment, and said in his heart, how do you know if I am proficient or not, I haven't said anything about this at all, right?

"What? The last time I touched the robber's cottage, I could tell that you must have a lot of hunting experience. You've learned from a lot of old hunters, right? Seeing Yun Qing's depressed face, Yue Qingrou giggled: "Okay, let's go." There are also many hunters in the army of Longlin County. ”

Yun Qing pursed his lips and had to take someone to set up a trap.

"Dig me a ditch here, the wider the better." Yun Qing pointed not far from the entrance of the mountain road: "You don't need to dig deep pits on this side of the ditch, all dig small pits and be denser." The pit is a little smaller, a little deeper. Well...... It's about as thick as a wrist and as deep as a palm. Keep digging to the exit, about two thousand steps away. ”

Soon, Yun Qing led people to start arranging various traps: "Jia Lin, you take people to the mountain to get some branches and leaves." That uncle, dig a few deeper traps from the distance to the exit of the ravine. ”

Under the leadership of Yun Qing, the pit digging operation began in full swing.

By the time Jia Lin brought back the branches and leaves, the dense shallow pit had already been dug.

Then Yun Qing led the soldiers and began to lay those deeper traps.

There were a lot of sharpened branches buried in it, and after they were covered, the dense shallow pits on the other side of the ravine were covered with leaves and covered with a little soil.

For these dense shallow pits, Yunqing didn't require any detail, as long as they were covered slightly, as for the ravine, it was directly exposed to the outside, and even the cover was avoided.

Finally, after the arrangement was completed, it was already sunset, and the Tanmalai reported that the troops of the Yunshan Army who had attacked the village had returned, but hundreds of soldiers had either been poisoned after drinking the well water, or they were no longer able to move around and had lost their combat effectiveness.

It is also because of this that the Yunshan Army did not act rashly, but fetched a large amount of water in the Xiaoyu River, so as not to worry about the problem of drinking water on the march.

Syllable......

Xu Shan smashed the cup in his hand: "I'm angry." was tricked by a yellow-mouthed child. It's me off. ”

He led his soldiers to plunder the village, but unexpectedly pounced, and then asked the soldiers to fetch water because they were thirsty.

When the soldier came back from fetching water, he was about to drink it, when several soldiers who had drunk it were poisoned.

If the poison had been a little later, he would have been poisoned.

In a fit of rage, he ordered the village to be set on fire, and then rushed to the next one.

But all the houses in those villages were empty, and some soldiers were poisoned. In the end, he didn't dare to drink a sip of water, and after rushing back to the barracks with thirst, the part of the soldiers he led rushed to the Xiaoyu River and poured water into their stomachs, they were really thirsty.

However, some soldiers died of swelling because they drank too much water, which really made him lose face.

When he heard that Zuo Peisheng was caught off guard by Yue Qingrou's sudden attack, so that he lost thousands of cavalry, he was even more angry. This has not yet fought the enemy, and it has already lost so many troops.

So far, more than 80,000 people have lost more than 20,000 people, and such heavy losses are simply unbearable.

"Mr. Zuo, what should we do now?" Xu Shan paced for a long time, but after all, he still bowed his head to Zuo Peisheng, who had always looked down on him in his heart and could only come up with ghost ideas.

"One wrong step, one wrong step." Zuo Peisheng sighed: "If you had listened to me and crossed the river and moved quickly instead of camping by the river, how could there have been so many things. Now they must be waiting for us here. As he spoke, Zuo Peisheng pointed to the mountain road between Qingxun Mountain and Qianlin Mountain on the map: "If you hadn't coveted those villages at the beginning, listened to my words, and rushed here directly, then the situation would have completely changed." ”

Xu Shan was furious in his heart, after I proposed to plunder those villages, didn't you say a good idea? Didn't you say it would break their morale? Didn't you say you could use those villagers as cannon fodder? Now that the fuck is losing, you're going to put all the shit on my head?

But anger to anger, he still didn't scold after all, after all, he still had to rely on Zuo Peisheng to make suggestions.

"Mr. Zuo, do you think there is really no way to do it now?" Xu Shan held back his anger and asked.

"Hmph, if they really think that I, Zuo Peisheng, got into the pocket they set up like this, then they really underestimated me." Zuo Peisheng sneered, pointed to Qingxun Mountain and Qianlin Mountain, and said, "Aren't they waiting for us here?" Very well, then let's let the cavalry units draw their attention from the middle of the mountain pass. The infantry units touched both sides of Qingxun Mountain and Qianlin Mountain, and directly touched their rear. At that time, they will be annihilated by us from both sides. ”

Xu Shan looked at the map carefully when he heard this, and laughed: "No wonder Mr. Zuo is deeply appreciated by the Duke. It's really amazing. If this plan is successful, they will have nowhere to flee and will die without a place to bury. ”

"Of course, he thought I would be in my pocket, but he never thought that they made a pocket for themselves and went in themselves." Zuo Peisheng also laughed, with a hint of cruelty on his face.

After preparing enough drinking water, the Yunshan army finally headed towards Qingxun Mountain and Qianlin Mountain.

"According to the news from Tanma, they have already set out for camp." Yun Qing and the others gathered in front of the map: "The arrangement on our side has also been in place, Uncle Hong, big man, you each take two thousand people to Qingxun Mountain and Qianlin Mountain to ambush, remember to make those straw men on the top of the mountain, bring more military flags and war drums, and when the time comes, you just need to wave the flag and shout." ”

"Wanrong, tell Tanma to closely monitor the other party's whereabouts." Seeing that there was nothing to add, Yue Qingrou then commanded.

"Now, as soon as you're ready, just wait for them to come." Jia Lin laughed.

When the Yunshan army rushed to the entrance of Qingxun Mountain and Qianlin Mountain, and divided their troops into three routes, the exploration horses sent by Yue Qingrou hurriedly reported back when they saw this.

"The enemy has entered the valley." Looking at the black army in the distance, Yun Qing sneered all over his face, he was looking forward to the other party being scorched by his own trap.

"The cavalry came out of the camp, set up formation, and prepared to meet the battle." Yun Qing ordered: "Remember, there are traps within two thousand steps in front of the ravine on the opposite side, don't rush over." I'll shoot myself in the foot. ”

His words caused everyone to laugh.

"Report ......" The scout horse sent by Yue Qingrou hurried over: "Report...... Report to Lord Viscount, Lord Duke. Enemy...... The enemy was divided into three routes, and only the cavalry entered the mountain pass. ”

"What? Soldiers divided into three ways? Yue Qingrou's face changed slightly, this situation was beyond her expectations, could it be that the other party's cavalry was absolutely sure that she would not be able to take it down?

"Bring me the map." Yun Qing turned his head to Ke'er and said, "By the way, you come over and tell me which direction they are going." ”

When the spy heard this, he immediately stepped forward, pointed to the map, and said, "They divided their troops at this location and went to the outside of Qingxun Mountain and Qianlin Mountain respectively. ”

"Oops." Jia Lin looked at the map and immediately frowned: "They want to bypass Qingxun Mountain and Qianlin Mountain to go behind us." ”

"I'll see." Hearing this, Yue Qingrou leaned over and looked at the map: "It's very likely." But now we can't divide our troops, because it's too late, and second, we have fewer troops, and we're even weaker when we divide them. ”

"Jia Lin, immediately send someone to send a letter to Uncle Hong and the big man to inform them of the situation. Let them use rocks and trees as a defense, and do their best to delay their journey. Yun Qing immediately said: "Also, tell them, if the situation is urgent, retreat immediately, and you must not entangle with the other party." We don't have any extra troops for us to wear down with them. ”

"Yes, their division of troops this time is indeed a good strategy, but it may not give us a chance." Yue Qingrou also said: "Concentrate all the forces and break them all." Beat the drums and prepare to attack. ”xh118
