Chapter 532: Lao Ye Ling Resistance Battle

The fourth battalion and the fourth watch of the Wei army set off, but fortunately, Lao Ye Ling was not far from Zishi, and when the sun was rising, they rushed to Lao Ye Ling.

The terrain of Lao Ye Ling is not too high, strictly speaking, it is not a mountain, but more like a hill, from the main road to Zishi from the Great Tomb winds through the mountain, ups and downs, winding and snakebing.

The reason why Pei Xiu chose to ambush in Lao Ye Ling is because Lao Ye Ling is the only way to go to Zishi, although there are thousands of roads leading to Zi, but Lao Ye Ling is the shortest distance, and if you detour other roads, you will have to walk at least a hundred miles, so if the Huns return to Zishi, the first choice will definitely be this road.

Cao Liang came to Lao Yeling with the synchronous barracks, and as soon as he arrived at his destination, Cao Liang immediately looked around and checked the nearby geography.

Strictly speaking, Lao Yeling is not too suitable for a blocking position, this is not the kind of dangerous mountains and rivers of natural dangers, there is no one to be a dangerous pass, the so-called highland, that is, a steep slope with a steep slope.

This steep slope is relatively long, and there are two sharp bends below, but this slope can still be rushed up on horseback, so it is still very difficult to defend for the infantry battalion and the shooting battalion that are responsible for blocking the attack.

There is no doubt that the position of the blockade is still set on the ridge of Lao Ye Ling, and the terrain on the ridge is relatively flat, and it is a stretch of riverbed that has dried up.

This river is supposed to be a tributary of the Fen River, looking at the wide river valley extending from the Luliang Mountain, it must have been a big river here a few years ago, and the Lao Ye Ling was formed by this big river carrying the loess and sediment of the Luliang Mountain.

If the Hun cavalry can rush up along the mountain road, it will become very difficult for the defense of the infantry battalion and the shooting sound battalion, according to the previous news, under the command of Liu Bao, the king of Zuoxian, there are more than 20,000 horses, and the infantry battalion and the shooting sound battalion combined, only 4,000 people, if there is no natural barrier and other fortifications, it is indeed difficult to block the attack of the Huns.

And the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion, Cao Liang is planning to use it as an ambush for a sneak attack, even if the Yue cavalry battalion is powerful, in the face of ten times his own Hun cavalry, I am afraid that it will not work, it can only be used as a surprise soldier, and wait until the Huns are unprepared, take advantage of the weakness, so that there is a certainty of victory.

Therefore, at the beginning of the blockade war, it must be the infantry battalion and the shooting battalion to play the leading role, and whether or not it can withstand the first few waves of the Hun cavalry is the key to whether or not it can do a good job in the Laoyeling blockade battle.

It was obviously too late to destroy the road, and there were no excavators in this era, and if people alone were to plan, it would hardly play a role, so Cao Liang set his sights on some towering trees growing on both sides of the valley on the ridge.

Cao Liang immediately ordered the Wei army to cut down wood on the spot, rolling wood is a good means to prevent enemy cavalry, such a lengthy ramp, huge rolling wood can block the enemy's offensive, if the enemy is too dense, the damage of rolling wood will be extremely amazing.

Cao Liang instructed the Wei army to hurry up and cut down the trees, but soon received a report from the scout, saying that the Huns were coming very fast, and had reached a distance of fifteen miles from Lao Ye Ling, and this distance was shortening rapidly, and about a pillar of incense, the Hun cavalry might kill the mountain.

This speed is not difficult to understand, the nest is about to be ended, can these Huns not fight hard?

Cao Liang immediately ordered all battalions to take their positions and prepare for battle.

The Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion were just ambushed in two valleys, temporarily hidden, waiting for Cao Liang's orders.

The infantry battalion and the shooting battalion also stopped cutting down trees at the first time, entered the predetermined defensive line, and waited for it.

Soon, the Wei army heard a rumbling sound, like a muffled thunder, and even the earth felt a slight tremble, and a yellow dust smoke rose from the sky in the north, and when there was no wind, this yellow dust and smoke seemed to have the feeling of rushing straight into the sky.

There is no doubt that this is the cavalry of the Huns.

After several battles with the Huns, the combat effectiveness of the battalions of the Pingbei Army has been significantly improved, and the improvement of combat effectiveness has also doubled the confidence of the soldiers of the Pingbei Army.

In the vanguard was Liu Bao's eldest son, Liu He, who was now leading the vanguard of the Xiongnu on the left to gallop towards the city of Zishi.

Along the way, Liu He ran almost non-stop, and his purpose was very clear, that is, to rush back to Zishi as quickly as possible to rescue the besieged family.

When Liu Bao went on the expedition, he naturally didn't bring his family, and a large number of wives and children were placed in Zishi County, and now Zishi is in a hurry, Liu He is in a hurry to rescue his mother and brothers, and he can't take care of rest at all.

However, this section of the road is also relatively familiar to Liu He, especially the closer it is to Zishi City, the more familiar he is. In front of you is Lao Ye Ling, beyond Lao Ye Ling, you will soon be able to see Zi City.

Although they were on the uphill journey, Liu He's speed did not decrease much, and they still galloped forward as always, but they didn't know that there was a huge danger in front of them.

A tree trunk the size of a millstone suddenly appeared on the top of the slope of Lao Ye Ling without warning, and rolled downward.

At first, the log didn't roll too fast, but as the slope increased, the log rolled faster and faster, and made a rumbling sound, with a momentum that swept through thousands of troops, roaring down.

There is an enemy attack!

This was the first word that flashed in Liu He's head, he hurriedly restranded the war horse, the huge inertia made the front hooves of the war horse completely suspended, and the horse's back was erect, almost about to fall Liu He off the horse.

The rolling log is also extremely fast, rolling down from the top of the slope, rolling faster and faster, unstoppable, Liu He has turned the horse's head, but he suddenly found that the downhill road is not only steep, but also extremely long, if he rides his horse down, no matter how fast the speed is, it may not be able to catch up with the falling speed of the rolling log, and the result is likely to be crushed into a meatloaf by this rolling log.

In desperation, Liu He rolled off the horse, and then rolled to the side of the road.

At this time, the huge rolling log whistled and flew down against his body, startling Liu He's cold sweat.

The other Hun soldiers were not as lucky as Liu He, they were swept all the way down by the giant wood, and many people and horses were pressed under the rolling logs, a blur of flesh and blood, and their condition was unbearable.
