Chapter 743: Trapped
Strategist, is it necessary for us to be so secretive? What if they don't notice it or find out too late? On the way to Leyang, Yan Liang couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, with Nan Chu's means, you will definitely find out." Xun Chen said confidently with a smile on his face.
"Shall we slow down our march, then? The march is so fast, they may not be able to catch up even if they find out! What if it's not as you think? Yan Liang said.
"Don't worry, just march so fast, they'll catch up. And if we slow down, it's easy for them to notice that something is wrong. ”
"Is there such an evil sect?" Yan Liang didn't believe it.
Xun Chen raised his head slightly and looked at the distant horizon behind him: "None of the strategists and generals of Southern Chu can be underestimated. If you are careless, it is easy to suffer a big loss. ”
Yan Liang was still puzzled, but thinking of the vast wisdom around him, he shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
Little did he know that behind him, a black dot loomed and then disappeared.
......
A loud eagle's cry sounded, and a goshawk roared down and landed on the shoulders of a man.
"This falconry is really magical." Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and the Hu people, who have been living on the grassland, are in an absolute advantage in the battle on the grassland, at least this falconry is enough to make it difficult for Han Qi to deal with, but it is a pity that he met such a bad star as Gongsun Zhan. No matter how strong the intelligence is, but the speed of the cavalry is not as fast as Gongsun Chan, it is also in vain, Gongsun Chan has so rich combat experience, so he naturally knows how to expand his own advantages. In this way, the Hu people were forced to have a decisive battle and eventually disappeared.
"How? Where have they been? Jia Kui asked.
"In the southern part of Yangle."
"What about distance?"
"About one hundred and twenty miles."
"In other words, they will arrive in Yangle in two days at most." Zhao Yun said.
"No, it's a day." Pang Tong took out the map when he got the news, and began to calculate silently in his heart: "Their marching speed is about 130 miles a day on average, and there should be no problem in reaching here now." The other party did not release the water, and it was indeed in the midst of a rapid march. ”
Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this: "What, are you still worried that this is their plan?" ”
"Be careful. We are one of the few mobile forces in Liaodong, and the possibility of the other party targeting us is really not low. Pang Tong said calmly. For some reason, even though everything was logical and within his expectations, he always had a feeling of unease. Speaking from his heart, if he was in the opponent's position, he would definitely be aiming at his cavalry.
"In fact, it is the safest choice for us to retreat directly to Changli, there is no need to take such risks." Bu Qi said.
"The risks are proportional to the benefits, and although it is a bit risky to do so, if it is done, it is enough to hit the other party hard. It is safe to retreat to Changli, but at the same time, it also loses the initiative, and in the end, it is only a defeat for both sides, after all, the other party is not an easy person. Pang Tong said.
The soldiers are treacherous, and there are too many conditions and restrictions required to march like Yuan Shu before, and it is impossible to do it under normal circumstances. After all, not everyone has the national strength of Jiangdong, and they can force the other party to fight head-on with the slightest flaw in the crushing momentum.
"What's more, we have 30,000 elite riders here, what can happen."
"And where are we supposed to set up an ambush?" Zhao Yun asked, looking at the terrain near Leyang.
"There is no ambush. The lone army rushed thousands of miles deep, and the other party must be extremely vigilant, and the ambush was too easy to be detected by the other party. What's more, all of us are cavalry, and it is not a good strategy to set up an ambush. Pang Tong said directly.
……
"Strategist, there are still two hours to get to Leyang, and the other party hasn't appeared yet." Yan Liang stared nervously at the dense forest on the left and right, and said in a deep voice.
"Well, heighten your vigilance. The patrol sentry must be let go, especially in the rear of our army, and the other side must not be allowed to block the rear road. Xun Chen said with a serious face.
"Strategist, where do you think the other party will ambush us? Do you want to remove the sentry in front of you and reconnoiter some of the rear? ”
"I can't figure out the other person's mind, but I know that if he is smart, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity. We don't need to be too disguised, and that's a good state for now. When you encounter the enemy, you should fight, you should fight, everything is as usual, but the back road must be protected. Xun Chen said.
"Yes!"
This area of western Liaoning is basically a barren land, and the environment is extremely harsh, and there is only one road that can be used for cavalry. Of course, there is still a small road, but it is more secretive and dangerous, and few people know about it at the moment.
The road that Yan Liang led the army to drive can only be said to be able to provide cavalry for troops, and many of the surrounding terrain are still steep and steep, and it is very easy to ambush, so Xun Chen is not sure how Pang Tong will choose. This in itself is a psychological game between the two sides, where one side knows that the other party's goal is itself and still takes the risk, and the other side knows that the other party will definitely be prepared but still chooses to step into the trap. Because both sides have great intentions, and both want to eat the other whole. The only difference is that Pang Tong's side is fearless, while Xun Chen's side is fighting against the water. But Xun Chen, who is old and serious, is counted in front of the young and vigorous Pang Tong.
"General, there is a lot of standing water on the road at the foot of the mountain ahead." The sentinel came to report.
"How deep is the water?" Yan Liang frowned. He didn't know how many times he had heard such a report, this ghost place was full of puddles and tidal flats, and he had long been accustomed to it.
"The deepest part is less than the thigh, and it should be able to pass, but this water pool area is not small."
"Is there any other way down the road?"
"You can go around the mountain from the other side, but I'm afraid it will take two more hours."
Yan Liang looked at the soldiers behind him who were a little tired after a long time: "The sentinel spread out the alert, and the army quickly passed by. ”
"No!"
With Yan Liang's order, the army began to advance slowly, slowly crossing the water in front of it.
After Yan Liang led the front army to cross the water safely, he breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a sharp eagle's cry sounded overhead.
"Not good!" Yan Liang's face changed dramatically in an instant. Looking back, the main force of the army under his command had already driven more than halfway, but the rear wing had just begun to move.
"The rear army picks up, the enemy is coming!" Yan Liang puffed up his inner breath and shouted.
The eagle cries in the sky, and the army is ready. Zhao Yun and the others, who had already been waiting in the distance, led the cavalry towards the place where Yan Liang's army was.
In front of the water that Yan Liang crossed, it was a rare smooth road on this road. In addition, Pang Tong ordered the soldiers to be slightly repaired the day before, which was enough to accommodate the wild run of three iron horses.
The three iron horsemen rushed towards Yan Liangjun like a tiger descending from a mountain.
"Damn it!" The rear army was still mired in the quagmire and couldn't extricate itself, so Yan Liang had no choice but to secretly hate and directly lead the former Chinese army to charge.
The cavalry that lost its speed was nothing, and the opponent's move at such a time was to pinch the gap for his army to cross the water, and now he could only go out to fight.
The iron cavalry on both sides rushed forward without hesitation, but Yan Liangjun, who was in a hurry, was obviously a little uneven, and he was in a hurry, and the soldiers were not in good shape.
At this time, Yan Liang was already as distracted as Xun Chen expected, and he was focused on the battle situation.
The highest level of deception is to deceive even oneself. Yan Liang can be regarded as crooked, bringing his role in.
