Volume 2 The Family Chapter 67 The path sneaks up and retreats with one blow
In fact, Chen Youliang was completely obsessed with Fan Yang's affairs, so he put forward this condition to disgust Zhu Chuba.
Chen Youliang stared at Zhu Chuba and did not give in.
Zhu Chuba thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, since that's the case, then let me stay." ”
Chen Youliang nodded with satisfaction: "The dignified general of the Red Turban Army marching army personally stayed to help, of course you can." ”
Zhu Chuba turned his head and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll stay, and you guys go back first." ”
Zhang Ying's eyes were firm, and she shook her head resolutely and said, "No, I want to stay with you." ”
As soon as Zhang Ying's voice fell, the bald boy Chen Youliang didn't know at the beginning also said: "I was brought by you, you can't leave me, I will stay with you." ”
This bald boy is naturally the personal escort Xiaolong of Li Shicheng, the former head of the Li family in Longxi, who Zhu Chuba brought back from Fanyang.
When Zhang Yinggang said that he wanted to stay, Ye Yingxian wanted to stay, but was robbed by Xiaolong, and when Xiaolong finished speaking, Ye Yingxian answered: "Then I will stay too." ”
Zhu Chuba frowned and looked at the stubborn Zhang Ying, and said helplessly: "Okay, if you want to stay, you can stay." ”
Turning his head and looking at Han Lin who wanted to stop talking, Zhu Chuba hurriedly said: "Big brother, you can't stay any longer, the army is coming, and there is a big general in the army to guard and train the soldiers, I have already stayed, you must go back." ”
Han Lin naturally took this into account and said with a wry smile: "Okay, I'll go back." ”
Chen Youliang was also stunned, originally just to satisfy some small desire for revenge in his heart, but he didn't want them to scramble to stay, which made Chen Youliang can't help but wonder if there is still money to be picked up on this trip to Huguang.
Li Ye was very convinced of Chen Youliang's military talent, so when Chen Youliang proposed to lead troops to Wuchang Road, Huguang to intercept the loss of Badulu, Li Ye didn't think about it, so he asked them to assist the officials placed by the Li family on Wuchang Road, so as not to expose the whereabouts of Chen Youliang's army.
On Wuchang Road, it's still that small road. Not long ago, Tuhuan Timur passed through here with his army of 50,000 and took Yingzhou directly, and won a great victory. And today, on the cliffs around this path, in the dense jungle, tens of thousands of warriors are quietly hidden.
Chen Youliang didn't bring many people, because no matter how many people he brought, it was impossible for him to have an advantage in numbers. This interception operation is clever in flexibility, and bringing more people will be a burden, and when the time comes, you will not be able to run fast, and it will be easier to be bitten back, and then the gains will outweigh the losses.
On the side of the winding path, there was a sparse sound, the sound of the leaves being shaken. Not because the wind was blowing, but because the soldiers were moving boulders that had been brought from a barren mountain not far away.
"General Zhu, there are our soldiers on the side of this path for two miles behind, as long as the army of Badulu passes by, he will definitely be caught off guard."
Zhu Chuba was also unexpectedly surprised by this terrain, surrounded by mountains on both sides and surrounded by a path in the middle. And this road is the only way from Wuchang to Yingzhou, unless Badulu let his hundreds of thousands of troops climb over the high mountain behind him, otherwise, he will definitely fall into their ambush.
Chen Youliang looked at his ignorance with satisfaction, and suddenly, a touch of melancholy jumped between his eyebrows: "It's just ...... Are you sure that the person who answered the question of Badulu will really come? ”
Answer: The itinerary of Badulu is all Zhu Chuba's speculation, although it sounds very reasonable, but after all, there is no definite news. If he can't answer Badulu, then he and his 10,000 soldiers will be in vain in their busy work during this time.
Zhu Chuba didn't dare to believe his guess, so he could only say: "Wait, if my judgment is wrong, don't worry, the previous promise will not change." ”
Hearing Zhu Chuba say this, Chen Youliang was relieved. Patiently lay down, waiting for the arrival of Badulu. He was even looking forward to answering that Badulu would not come, so that he could take back the territory of Jiangbei without spending a single soldier.
In the blink of an eye, the sun gradually rose high in the sky, and fortunately, the place where the soldiers were ambushed was shaded by trees, and although it was hot, there was no sweat on their foreheads.
After waiting for a long time, the sun gradually set again. The wind was faintest at dusk, and although the sun was not as strong as it had just been, the warriors were beginning to grow weaker.
"Calculate the time, how can Badulu pass by here today, why is there no one at this time? Could it be that it really won't come? ”
Zhu Chuba was also apprehensive, but he was unwilling to retreat, so he had to say: "Wait a little longer, it should be soon." ”
Chen Youliang glanced at Zhu Chuba, and his heart was actually happy.
"It's better not to come." Chen Youliang thought so in his heart.
But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Zhu Chuba, who had been staring at the front, suddenly shouted in surprise: "It's coming, it's finally here." ”
Chen Youliang was shocked, and he also looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw a group of black figures slowly approaching. Chen Youliang secretly spied in his heart, but he still couldn't avoid this encounter after all.
"Then let's do it!"
Chen Youliang is not a cowardly person, if he can avoid a war, of course, it is the best, but if he can't escape, Chen Youliang will not be afraid of anything.
"Wait, wait until their leader comes to us and give the order." Zhu Chuba reminded in a low voice.
A group of people stared at the figure that was getting closer and clearer, and none of them dared to take their eyes off.
As Zhu Chuba guessed, when he learned that his son Tuhuan Timur had occupied Yingzhou City, he decided to make a detour to Huguang and go directly to Yingzhou to rendezvous. In this way, you can avoid encountering the forces of the rebel army in advance, and you can also let the hundreds of thousands of troops who are marching all the way take a break to recuperate, so that they can be in a better state to deal with the next series of battles.
Answer: Badulu is nearly sixty years old, and his hair and beard are all white, but he is still very strong. Ordinary soldiers, more than a dozen people can't get into the body of this old marshal who has been galloping on the battlefield all his life.
Answer: Badulu's hair was tied into two small braids that the ancients were accustomed to behind him, and a gray armor set off his already strong figure even more majestic.
"Where is this?" Answer: Badulu turned his head and asked a general behind him.
The general respectfully arrived: "Marshal Hui, this place has arrived at Wuchang Road." ”
"Oh? Isn't that coming? Badulu said lightly.
"Yes, Marshal."
Answer: Badulu looked to both sides, and the three-person high cliff winded all the way, and he saw that the experienced old marshal frowned.
"Command to go down, and the whole army will stop marching."
The general looked at the old marshal in surprise and asked, "We have all arrived at Wuchang Road, and if we step up our march, we can reach Yingzhou City within today, why do you want to stop?" ”
Badulu glanced at the general who asked the question, and his majestic eyes shocked the general into a cold sweat, he immediately realized his mistake, and quickly apologized: "The last general is at fault, it is the last general who has trespassed, and the last general will order to stop the march." ”
Answer: Badulu gently retracted his gaze, looked at the cliffs on both sides, but his brows furrowed more and more, and said: "Let a team of people climb the cliffs on both sides to investigate, if there is nothing unusual, and then continue to march." ”
can be a general under Badulu, of course, he will not be a mediocre person. Fang Cai didn't notice it because he was in a hurry, and when he heard what Badulu said, the general realized that the terrain they were in now was really extremely dangerous to them.
The general hurriedly turned his horse's head and arranged for a team of men to go to reconnoiter according to the instructions of Badulu.
On the cliff, Chen Youliang looked at the army that was still some distance away from him and suddenly stopped, and said, "Now that they only have half of the army in our attack range, what should we do?" ”
Answer: Badulu suddenly ordered the army to stop, and Zhu Chuba was also shocked. After hesitating for a moment, he said categorically: "Give the order, I think that the answer to the loss of Badulu has already noticed the abnormality." ”
Then he sighed secretly in his heart: "He really deserves to be a veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades!" ”
Chen Youliang obviously agreed with Zhu Chuba's judgment, nodded in agreement: "Then let's start." ”
With Chen Youliang's consent, Zhu Chuba picked up an arrow that he had been carrying behind him for a long time and shot it into the sky hard. A sharp and piercing sound of breaking the air resounded throughout the valley, and not only Chen Youliang's soldiers heard the order to attack, but also Badulu.
"Ignition, attack!" Chen Youliang suddenly got up and yelled.
The boulder had already been coated with oil, and when it was dyed with a trace of spark, a raging fire ignited. Without the slightest hesitation, the warriors pushed the blazing boulder off the cliff as they had been told.
After hearing the sound of arrows, Badulu did not panic at all, and calmly ordered: "The shield battalion, defend on both sides, and the bow battalion, shoot arrows at the cliffs on both sides under the cover of the shield battalion." ”
Answer: Badulu gave an order, and the army behind him reacted immediately. According to the order of the Badulu, two rows of soldiers holding two-meter huge shields stood at the side of the army. The rest of the soldiers were all half-crouched under the defensive range of the giant shield, and the archers drew their bows and arrows to the brim, ready to fire.
Before the boulder with the flames fell, the shield battalion was almost all in place, and then the few soldiers in the rear did not have time to react, and were hit by the boulder, letting out a terrible roar.
Hearing the roar of his soldiers, Badulu did not frown, and calmly ordered: "Archer, fire." ”
Zhu Chuba saw that this round of ambush had little effect, and a look of chagrin appeared in his eyes, but then he said calmly: "One blow will retreat, let's retreat." ”
Chen Youliang also had a solemn look in his eyes, and another arrow rose to the sky, and the soldiers who had been in ambush for two weeks received the order, and without the slightest lingering, they retreated one after another.
When Badulu's bow and arrow were still in mid-air, Chen Youliang's men had already retreated some distance, and there were almost no casualties.
"Alright, let's stop." Answer: Badulu looked up at the falling arrow and ordered.
