Chapter 339: Introducing an ambush
Xiao Ding and the Yang brothers led their troops to fight in front of Shaoxian County, and finally succeeded in luring the enemy and successfully withdrew towards the valley of Da Yuling.
Song Yinbei led his troops to chase after him. Xiao Ding was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to drop some military supplies along the way to lure the pursuers to follow.
However, when Song Yinbei led his troops to the valley mouth, he suddenly stopped, and he wondered in his heart, will there be a deception when the opponent's troops suddenly retreated?
Xiao Ding and the Yang family brothers, who were fleeing, saw that Song Yinbei chased them to the valley, but they didn't dare to lead the troops into the valley, their hearts were cold, and they said secretly, if you don't chase in, how can I ambush you? The trap prepared for you, if you don't come in, I didn't design it in vain!
So Xiao Ding immediately ordered the soldiers to temporarily stop retreating, prepare bows and arrows and crossbows, and turn around to shoot Song Yinbei's troops first, so as to provoke the other party and let the other party chase after him.
The soldiers listened to Xiao Ding's order, quickly stopped and fled, turned back to Song Yinbei's team and began to shoot arrows and fire crossbows.
The crossbow was extremely powerful and had a very long range. Fortunately, Song Yinbei had already put the shield hand at the forefront. Therefore, after a round of arrow rain, Song Yinbei's troops did not suffer much loss.
Seeing the other party's provocation, Yi Chunzhu couldn't help it, and shouted loudly: "Damn, hateful!" Your Royal Highness, we are about to catch up and destroy them, why did we stop? ”
"I'm worried about their scheme!" Song Yinbei said truthfully.
"Your Royal Highness, you are too cautious, they have so few soldiers, even if they have any tricks, they can't stop my 30,000 army, what are you afraid of, just chase them and destroy them!" Yi Chunzhu shouted loudly.
Wu Gui, the military general on the other side of Song Yinbei, also opened his mouth at this time and said: "Your Royal Highness, you see that their soldiers have left all the supplies on the road along the way, if there is fraud, why do they carry so many materials?" Such a good opportunity to win, His Royal Highness the Prince must not miss it! Our army has lost battles one after another recently, and this time we can finally win a big victory, His Royal Highness the Prince can't miss the opportunity! ”
Song Yinbei heard that the two generals around him were all in favor of continuing the pursuit, so he said: "Okay, then follow the advice of General Erwei!" After saying that, he then ordered, "Listen to my orders, the shield bearer will cover in front, and the whole army will charge!" ”
Xiao Ding saw in the army that the troops on Song Yinbei's side once again organized shield bearers to stand in front, and the whole army rushed over, so he ordered: "Put away the bow and crossbow and continue to retreat." Supplies are still being discarded along the way. ”
The narrow mountain road was not conducive to the advance of the army, and now whether it was the thousands of people led by Xiao Ding and the Yang family brothers, or the 30,000 people led by Song Yinbei, Yi Chunzhu and Wu Gui, they all lined up in a long line and advanced quickly along the mountain road.
When he was about to chase half the way to the valley, Song Yinbei looked at the terrain in the valley, and suddenly, he stopped the troops again.
Seeing that Song Yinbei had stopped the troops again, Yi Chunzhu hurriedly asked suspiciously, "Your Royal Highness, why did you stop again?" ”
Song Yinbei pointed to the slopes on both sides of the mountain road and said, "Look at the terrain here, if an ambush is set up on both sides of this road, where will our army still have the power to resist?" ”
At this time, Xiao Ding and the Yang brothers found that Song Yinbei had stopped again, so they once again ordered the soldiers to pause their retreat and turn around and shoot arrows.
Song Yinbei was still a shield player in front of him, so after blocking a round of arrow rain, there were only a few casualties.
When Yi Chunzhu saw that the opponent's troops were so shameless, he jumped to his feet and scolded angrily: "You wait for the rats, you only dare to sneak attack, and you don't dare to stop and fight to the death with me." Wow yes! When my army catches up with you rats, you will be left with no bones! ”
Song Yinbei was also very angry after seeing it, and said in his heart, as soon as you stop here, you will come over to shoot arrows and provoke, as soon as we want to come forward to face you, you will turn around and run away, this is too annoying!
At this time, Wu Gui opened his mouth and said: "Your Royal Highness, now we have chased almost half of the distance, and if we chase half the distance forward, we will go out of Da Yuling and chase to Qianling County, we will simply take advantage of the strong morale and take Qianling County in one go!" ”
Yi Chunzhu also snorted angrily on the side and said, "His Royal Highness, the other party provokes us like this, can you bear it?" We have an army of 30,000, so why should we suffer such birds? ”
Wu Gui's one-on-one effort to take Qianling County was very tempting for Song Yinbei. Qianling County was thrown away from him, he has always regarded this matter as a shame in his life for the past few days, if he can recapture Qianling County in one fell swoop this time, it will be happier for him than anything else.
So, under the prodding of the two generals, Song Yinbei ordered again, and the army continued to pursue.
Just like before, the thousands of people on Xiao Ding's side, seeing that Song Yinbei's team continued to chase, also withdrew their bows and crossbows and continued to retreat quickly, just not to confront you Song Yinbei head-on.
Song Yinbei was angry when he saw it, and ordered to speed up the march again and again.
However, it didn't take long to chase forward. The thousands of people in front suddenly stopped, and then prepared their bows and crossbows and aimed them at Song Yinbei's troops.
Song Yin was shocked and said in his heart, why didn't they continue to run away?
In the midst of his doubts, he suddenly heard the sound of war drums on the slopes on both sides of the mountain road. Then there was a rain of arrows.
At this time, if Song Yinbei didn't know that he was ambushed, then he was really stupid.
Yi Chunzhu and Wu Gui saw the rain of arrows coming down at this time, and they already knew that they had been ambushed, and it was too late to regret it at this time, and the army of 30,000 people lined up in a long line, crowded on the narrow mountain road, and there was no place to dodge. Moreover, the shield bearers in the army have been arranged by Song Yinzi at the front of the team.
At this time, it was the two sides of the mountain road that fired the rain of arrows, and it happened to be between the two sides to attack the long line.
It didn't take long for Song Yinbei's team to have a large number of casualties.
"Sure enough, I hit the plan, retreat quickly!" Song Yinbei shouted an order.
Guarded by Wu Gyu and Yi Chunzhu, Song Yinbei retreated to the rear.
Xiao Ding commanded the 5,000 soldiers led by the Yang brothers, blocked the road, and came back from the killing. Song Yinzi's shield hand could not resist the siege of arrows from three sides.
It didn't take long for the mountain road to be blocked by the corpses of the soldiers of Song Yinbei's troops. Xiao Ding had no choice but to let the soldiers remove the corpse before going over to pursue.
In this ambush, more than half of Song Yinbei's 30,000 troops were killed or wounded. Although they withdrew, the soldiers on the slopes on both sides and the soldiers led by Xiao Ding still followed and killed, as if hunters had set up an ambush circle to hunt wild beasts. It's basically a one-sided massacre.
Song Yinbei led the generals, while retreating, he regretted it, thinking in his heart, he shouldn't have listened to the words of Yi Chunzhu and Wu Gui, now that he has fallen into the trap of the enemy, can he still escape today?
