Chapter 335: Ambush in the Valley
After Xiao Ding helped Yue Yurou refine the Chilian Yan Pill she swallowed, she heard the guard at the door say that Song Yinzi had something to look for him, so she came to the county hall.
It turned out that the scouts sent out last night had already sent back the news, not only hearing the information about Shaoxian, but also hearing that the king of Jiaozhou had dispatched 30,000 troops who were attacking Tingzhou Pass in Yuezhou to support Song Yinbei.
Moreover, the team that came to support Song Yinbei also met with the 10,000 troops sent by Xiao Ding to support Tingzhou Pass on the way.
Xiao Ding was very concerned about the situation of the 10,000 troops led by the two brothers of the Yue family. Then he asked, "I wonder what the result will be after the two reinforcements meet together?" Who loses and who wins? ”
Song Yinzi laughed when he saw Xiao Ding asking so eagerly, and then said: "The two brothers, Yue Yunfeng and Yue Yunyu, although they are young, are extremely resourceful. On their way to Tingzhou Pass, Tanma had already detected the situation of the troops coming from the direction of Tingzhou Pass, so they set up an ambush on the way and ambushed the 30,000 reinforcements led by a military general named Yi Chunzhu. A total of more than 10,000 enemy soldiers were killed and wounded, and the remaining 20,000 or so troops did flee in the direction of Shaoxian. ”
"Well done! The two brothers of the Yue family really lived up to expectations! Xiao Ding exclaimed, and then asked, "Then what about the casualties of our army?" Xiao Ding is more concerned about this issue.
"Because our army set up an ambush in the middle of the way, mainly using bows and arrows to shoot, our army suffered very few casualties, only more than 100 casualties." Song Yinzi said happily.
"Yes, yes, the two brothers of the Yue family should be credited with a great credit in the credit book!" Xiao Ding also said happily.
"Yes, yes! It's a great achievement. Song Yinzi echoed.
"General Tian, since we have heard the enemy's information, what should we do next?" Lu Changping, who was sitting on the side, asked.
"Well, let me think about it first!" Xiao Ding frowned and said, then asked, "I don't know where the troops led by Yi Chunzhu have gone now?" How many days will it take to reach Shaoxian? ”
"The matter of Yi Chunzhu's reinforcements being ambushed by the Yue brothers is the news sent by the two brothers Yue Yunfeng, saying that it happened the night before yesterday, and today, Yi Chunzhu has been gone for another day and a night, and it is estimated that even if he does not arrive in Shao County at this time, it may not be too far from Shao County." Song Yinzi said.
"I see, I was just thinking about whether I could send a team to ambush them again and kill them once! It seems that this plan to intercept again will not be realized. Xiao Ding said regretfully.
"Deputy Marshal Tian can't, even if Yi Chunzhu hasn't arrived in Shaoxian County at this time, our army can't intercept and kill." Lu Changping spoke again.
"Why?" Xiao Ding asked.
"Because if our army wants to intercept and kill Yi Chunzhu's troops, it needs to pass through the Great Yuling and go to the road to Yuezhou to intercept it. And through the Da Yu Mountains, the best route to take at present is the valley that runs into the mountains in the south of our Qianling County. Although there is a road in the valley, it is not advisable to march in a hurry, and it will take a day for our army to pass through the valley. What's more, after passing through the valley, it is near the county seat of Shaoxian. In the past, our army was easily discovered by the scouts of Shaoxian County. If they knew that our army was going to intercept and kill their reinforcements, they would inevitably send troops out to block our army's rear route, and in that case, our army would be attacked on both sides and would definitely suffer great losses. Lu Changping analyzed.
"You have a point! However, if I were going to intercept and kill Yi Chun's reinforcements, I wouldn't let the people in Shaoxian County block the back of our army. I will definitely send another team to stop the troops in Shaoxian County. It's just a pity that it's too late now. We have lost the best chance to intercept them. Xiao Ding sighed regretfully.
"It's still Deputy Marshal Tian's chess master, and the last general will admire it!" Lu Changping said sincerely.
"It seems that even if that Yi Chunzhu's reinforcements don't arrive in Shaoxian County now, they will arrive in the next day or two?" Xiao Ding said.
"Yes, in terms of time and distance, if nothing else, they should have arrived by now." Lu Changping replied. He was more familiar with the geography and terrain of the neighborhood than Xiao Ding.
"In this way, there are at least 30,000 soldiers and horses in Shaoxian County, and it seems that I have to think of other ways to break the city!" Xiao Ding touched his forehead and said.
His side did not have the advantage in terms of troops, and if he attacked the city hard, if the other party's 30,000 people defended it, his own people might not be able to defeat it for ten days and a half months. Xiao Ding knew very well how powerful the Great Song Army was in defending the city. At the beginning in Yongzhou, he once led thousands of people to defend the city, against the sudden tens of thousands of troops, and in the end the Hu people did not take the city.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Ding asked Lu Changping again: "Is it suitable to set up an ambush in the valley leading to Shao County?" ”
Lu Changping looked up at Xiao Ding and asked suspiciously, "Deputy Marshal Mo Feitian wants to set up an ambush in the valley of this Great Yuling?" ”
"That's exactly what I mean, but I haven't checked the terrain in the valley, so I don't know if it's suitable for an ambush?" Xiao Ding said.
"It's okay to set up an ambush in that valley, but how do you lure the enemy here?" Lu Changping patted his head and asked a little puzzled.
"Well, there must be a way, as long as there is an ambush in the valley." Xiao Ding said confidently.
Lu Changping couldn't figure out how Xiao Ding was going to set up an ambush and how to lure the enemy over, so he stopped talking.
At this time, Yang Yueling on the other side suddenly opened her mouth, and she said loudly: "I said that the cockroach crawls deputy marshal, since Song Yinbei is like a shrinking turtle, shrinking in Shao County, what kind of stupid pig general led the support army has also entered the city, we directly sent troops over, and won't it be over if we take down that Shao County, why bother setting up any ambush?" Is it so troublesome? ”
"General Yang doesn't know, if our army directly attacks Shaoxian, it can also be defeated, but there are so many defenders in the city, and our army will definitely pay a great price for attacking the city. However, the strength of our army is limited, and after the loss, there is no follow-up replenishment. If all these soldiers are killed and wounded here, then what will they use to attack other cities? Xiao Ding patiently explained.
"Alas! What a hassle! Forget it, you are the deputy commander of the cockroach crawl, if you want to set up an ambush in the valley, just set up an ambush in the valley, I don't talk much. However, this good errand for attacking Shaoxian County is better left to me! Yang Yueling said with a grin.
"Okay, no problem, with General Yang here, it is only a matter of time before Shaoxian County is captured." After Xiao Ding praised Yang Yueling, he continued to think about how to send troops.
Although I thought of the strategy of setting up an ambush in the valley, how to set up an ambush, how to attract the enemy army, whether to shoot with a bow and arrow or set fire to it after attracting it, etc., these details still need to be carefully thought out, otherwise, any mistake in any detail may determine success or failure.
"Wait for the meeting, I'll go over and check the terrain in person, and then make specific arrangements for the ambush in the valley!" Xiao Ding said suddenly.
The generals were shocked, and they all said in their hearts, is it necessary to set up an ambush to mobilize the people so much?
