Chapter 222: Ambushes Everywhere

This is Zuo Yu Lu Wang grazing all day long, and there is too little contact with the Xinxi Liang army. If he had known more, he would have known that these people had long wanted to get rid of him and reclaim the land beneath his feet.

The road they traveled was a ravine between two mountains. The road is about two hundred paces wide, and it has been passed for forty or fifty miles, and the direction is still from west to east, and it has not changed.

The hill on the north side of the road has a large number of trees, and although it is lifeless in winter, it also shelters the northwest wind. The mountains on the south side are steep and difficult to climb at first glance.

Zuo Yu Lu Wang watched the warm sunlight rise to the highest place, and couldn't help but feel good. He asked his nephew on the side, "Do you know how this terrain came from?" ”

His nephew has thick eyebrows and small eyes, and at first glance he is the kind of person who is good at thinking. He thought for a moment and said, "This ditch is wide and straight, and it was made specifically for us to march. So, I guess it's the Eagle God in the sky, the path opened up specifically for us. ”

When Zuo Yu Lu Wang heard this, he laughed and said, "You kid really has some ideas!" This analysis is very powerful, and it can make the ministries publicize it more. ”

The two guards on the side received the order and hurriedly conveyed it to the middle and lower leaders.

King Zuo Yulu continued to say to his nephew, "Actually, I want to say that this road must be hit by a great river. ”

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"You see, this place is from west to east, dozens of miles of road, directly leading to the river. I guess the place leading to the river must be flat, exactly where the river used to be fed. ”

"Also, the mountains here are very characteristic, the mountains to the north are gentle, and there are quite a few rugged paths leading to the mountains. But the hill to the south was very neat, and so steep that it was like a stone wall. ”

"This shows that there must be a large river here, which flows from west to east and flows into the river, and under the impact of the perennial impact, it has formed a unique appearance."

His nephew said, "This, this, really? ”

Zuo Yu Lu Wang said, "There are many, many things, and I don't know the deep-seated reasons for it, so I can't explain it." But I've traveled a lot, and I think there's something in common. ”

Suddenly, the advancing procession stopped. Zuo Yu Lu Wang was strange, he hadn't given the order yet, and he had made an assertion in front of him, did he want to try his methods?

"Oh no! Oh no! There was a probe on the hill ahead. ”

The scout hurriedly shouted loudly, causing the circle of people around him to get nervous.

Knowing that there might be an enemy ambush, King Zuo Yu Lu ordered the whole army to fight, and the vanguard of the front immediately probed whether there was a wide area ahead. Defenses were also arranged at the rear of the rear to ensure the safety of the retreat road.

He wasn't nervous yet, after all, his opponent was just a medium-sized Qiang tribe. Their ambush alone can only temporarily block their pace, and it is difficult to inflict too many casualties on them.

Zuo Yu Luwang's order was quickly carried out, and after the vanguard and the merger, the news was quickly fed back to him. When the news came to him, he was shocked.

"This ambush is definitely not from the hands of the Qiang people!"

According to the intelligence, the king of Zuo Yu Lu knew that the front was unimpeded until the edge of the river. But when the road turned south, there were 5,000 Qiang waiting for them.

On the steep hill on the right, dozens of heads emerge to look around. Due to the height and steepness of the ridges, the Huns could not clear these guys anyway.

The situation in the rear is the strangest. In a relatively narrow section of the road they had passed not long ago, there were large areas of gravel and ravines.

These things were clearly deliberately sabotage, and although the horses could easily cross several narrow ditches seven or eight feet wide, the weight could not be passed at all. What's more, the section was thrown with gravel of various sizes, and the horses ran over, and they were also half-crippled.

The scouts thought this was a trick of the Qiang, and the generals and commanders in front of them were eager to defeat the weak Qiang. But he knew that this arrangement was not simple, and the Qiang people alone would not have the trick behind it.

It seems that the initiative is still in his hands, but what to do?

Attack the Qiang with all your might, defeat the 5,000 first, and hunt them down to their tribe. However, in this case, it is very likely that when the back road is not smooth, it will feel a bit risky to go deep into the enemy territory.

Seize the mountains on the north side and wait for work. This way you really won't lose, and the supply is enough for a month. However, they came to destroy all the seedless, not to confront each other.

The order was to join the troops to fill the narrow ditch and remove the rubble, so that it would be easier to contact the direction of Gaonu. In his opinion, this operation must be operated, whether he wants to retreat or not, it is necessary to keep the communication with the direction of Gaonu unblocked.

As a result, King Lu of Zuo Yu, who had been in the battle formation for a long time, made the most common mistake of a novice commander, and he ordered his troops to carry out the above three tasks at the same time.

He ordered seven thousand forwards to attack the Qiang, and did their best to defeat them, but did not have to chase them.

Then join the troops and horses, and while maintaining their vigilance, dismount to clear the obstacles.

In the end, 2,000 soldiers and horses from the middle lane entered the northern mountains. Let them broaden their horizons and broaden their formation in the middle.

If it is a better commander, it will definitely concentrate its efforts in one direction, even if the decision is not optimal, but there will always be some results in a consistent way.

It's good for him to think about everything, but he can't make trade-offs. Stretching out two fists to hit someone, it is already very powerless, let alone performing three tasks separately?

Perhaps, he is suitable to be a comprehensive manager of a tribe, and he has done a good job of grazing, training, harassment, and suppression of other tribes, but he has not done any of them well. Because he thinks too much, and he can't make trade-offs.

Soon, the effect of his arrangement was discovered by the scouts on the mountain range, and through the beacon fire and horn, it was accurately transmitted to Zhang Ji, Yu Poison and the leaders of the Qiang without any species.

"The soldiers are divided into three ways, which is much better than expected. The order goes down, the decisive moment has arrived, and all the departments are fighting with all their might! ”

For a time, the drums shook the sky and the horns sounded in unison, and the Xinxi Liang Army ambushed all the troops.

On the side of the Yellow River, the Hun soldiers who killed the unseeded Qiang position found that the other party was not stingy with arrows. Moreover, these arrows were all iron heavy arrows, which could not be resisted without a shield and thick leather armor.

What's even worse is that from the Mengmen Mountain and the waterfall in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, ten cargo ships converted into warships rushed over. Look at the flag, it is the warship of the New Xiliang Army.

Feng Bin and the others have been waiting for a long time, they have lived in this section of the river for decades, they know very well where it is convenient to hide the boat, and they are very proficient in boat control in various situations.

Their position was just right to attack the forward of the Huns from the northeast and southeast flanks, and each ship was equipped with twenty crossbowmen and forty Que Zhang crossbows, and two rounds of point shooters killed more than 50 Hun soldiers.
