Chapter 162: Who Ambushes Whom
Just a fool, what are you thinking in your heart, the old man doesn't know yet!
Isn't it just thinking about occupying Huangzhushan and becoming the emperor, and thinking that even if you can't beat it, you will be ready to return to Huangzhushan.
But I don't want to think about it, it is basically impossible for your surname Li to occupy Huangzhu Mountain, there are more than 1,000 people, and there are three or four hundred young people who can pull out.
Even at the end of last year, the officers and soldiers made several raids in vain, and it is simply a fool's dream to take Huangzhushan with the 400 old and weak people under your command and more than 100 young and strong people.
At this time, Old Man Xie didn't know that more than a month ago, the government once again sent 2,000 troops into the mountain, but it was still in vain, but even the grain team was robbed twice, and Longhua Town was robbed again, which can be described as a heavy loss.
If he knew about this, I am afraid that Old Man Xie would be even more sure that this time Master Li Zhai's march to Huangzhu Mountain was absolutely self-defeating.
Even if the owner of Li Zhai wants to return to Shun if he can't beat it, it is not an easy task, and the people of Huangzhushan are not stupid, how can you say that if you want to run over and be the prince, you will be the prince, maybe the people of Huangzhushan In order to better control the more than 400 people who returned to Shun, the first person to kill is you, surnamed Li.
But he doesn't care about these anymore, all he cares about is letting the two sides fight, only when the fight is the scene will be chaotic, as long as the scene is chaotic, he can take advantage of the chaos to escape with his family, as for whether the owner of Li Zhai wins or loses, whether he lives or dies, he doesn't care.
Now what he wants is to continue to let Li Zhai master march into Huangzhu Mountain, and even do not hesitate to give advice to him, and put forward a plan that will be planned.
I just don't know what kind of reaction those people in Huangzhushan will make!
When Lord Li Zhai and his party made a decision and continued to move forward, the Huangzhushan spies who were monitoring them soon had someone running back to report the news.
When the spies returned, they also met Butcher Chen, and Butcher Chen learned from the spies that the bandits had set out again and were coming in their direction.
He immediately stopped his pace of continuing to advance, and after thinking for a while, Butcher Chen said to the spies: "When you go back, tell General Fang about them, and say that our forward troops will hide on the spot, and then go around behind them!" ”
Although the gang of bandits had continued to advance, Butcher Chen felt that they still had the possibility of escaping, especially when these people ran headlong into the main force of their own ambush, they might turn around and run as soon as possible, and if they were to block them behind them, it would not be so easy for them to escape.
After Butcher Chen made a decision, he quickly led people to hide in the dense forest.
This hiding was two hours, and when Butcher Chen couldn't help but complain that those bandits came so slowly, the person who was watching in front trotted back, and said in a low voice: "They have already come, they have a lot of spies searching on both sides, we have to hide farther away!" ”
Butcher Chen nodded after hearing this, and then said to his subordinates: "Let's go, be careful, what kind of movement will be made!" ”
There were only twenty of them in this group, and at the same time, the target was small and they hid in the dense forest, as long as they didn't stupidly get in front of the outer spies of others, the possibility of being discovered would not be too high.
And this is also the reason why the people of Huang Zhushan and Li Zhai both discovered each other's brigades, but they did not find each other's spies.
Because in the deep mountains, it is difficult to hide a few hundred people, but if only one or twenty people are scattered and hiding, they can still easily dodge, after all, it is impossible for the other party to search the surrounding mountains and forests with great fanfare.
Time passed little by little, and Butcher Chen, who was hiding in the dense forest, could already faintly hear the voice coming from the front, and there were only two people who spoke, not many, it should be the peripheral sentinel of the group of bandits.
At this time, Butcher Chen didn't dare to move, and they didn't dare to make a sound at all, because when the two bandits' sentry was closest to them, they were only twenty or thirty meters, and in this quiet mountain forest, any cough could attract the attention of the other party.
However, it is impossible for those sentinels to search the surroundings carefully, they are only advancing synchronously hundreds of meters on the periphery of the brigade, and they are mainly responsible for the task of guarding the perimeter, not to search for enemy sentinels.
After these two sentry sentry passed, Butcher Chen and the others quietly came out of the dense forest, and then followed the pace of the bandit brigade in front.
At the same time, the Huang Zhushan spies, who were holding the news of the run, also reported the news that the bandit brigade had set off and was rushing to Fang Dongquan and the others.
Hearing that the bandits were coming over and Butcher Chen decided to follow behind, Fang Dongquan immediately discussed with Huang Xueren, Wang Danxu and a few others, and finally decided to set up an ambush according to the original plan.
Strive to prevent them from discovering as much as possible, and when they get close and you can't hide, you can attack directly, and strive to completely surround them in the shortest possible time.
Don't let anyone go!
This is Fang Dongquan's order to everyone!
But when they were preparing to ambush these bandits, they didn't know that a group of about forty bandits had bypassed the main road and appeared behind their right side.
At this time, all of these bandits were sitting directly on the ground panting, and many of them also gulped down water to relieve the physical strength consumed by the previous wild run.
After they secretly left the brigade, they walked directly through the dense forest and took the trail, but they walked several miles more than the original road, and only then did they successfully appear in the right rear position of the Huangzhushan brigade.
This has been running for more than ten miles in a row, and they are all young and strong men, and they have consumed a lot of physical strength, and now they urgently need to slow down, otherwise they will not have the strength to fight when they are sneak attacked.
Li Zhai sent people to play a sneak attack, but he didn't know that there were still twenty people behind his buttocks.
In this battle that has not yet broken out, it can be said that from the very beginning, both sides began to play intrigues and tricks, and the other side did not see through it.
Therefore, the confidence of the generals on both sides is full!
In the afternoon, the main force led by Li Zhai had arrived at the ambush site of the bandits in Huangzhu Mountain, which was only less than two miles, but at this time, Li Zhai Lord asked people to stop, ready to rest in place, and at the same time bury the pot to make rice.
But when burying the pot to make rice, he maintained a considerable vigilance, and the young people in front did not move at all, but let the old and weak women and children bury the pot to make rice.
When they were eating, Fang Dongquan had just let his subordinates finish lunch, and as the big war was coming, although the generals of the double anti-dumping forces did not discuss, they all made the same choice, that is, to let the soldiers have a full meal before the war.
Eating at war may sound funny and even business-like, but it's actually a common rule in the era of cold weapon warfare.
In ancient times, even soldiers were difficult to eat every day, and it was basically impossible to let go of eating, so before the war, let the soldiers let go of a meal, and even have wine and meat, which was not only to keep the soldiers physically active, but also to stimulate morale.
The gap between eating and drinking enough to go into battle and fighting with a hungry stomach is quite large.
When the armies on both sides were eating, they suffered from the partial divisions that were lying in ambush behind the two sides, and the more than 40 people of the bandits were in a hurry, and they didn't even bring much dry food, so they could only divide a small amount of dry food and eat it with cold water, look at the little dry food in their hands, and then look at the big bowls of white rice in those Huangzhushan people outside, and the envy, jealousy and hatred in their hearts!
Butcher Chen's side was no better, they did bring dry food, but gnawing on dry food was naturally not as good as rice.
After each side had eaten and drunk enough, although they were still separated by two miles, and everyone had not seen each other, they had a very tacit understanding of the arming battle.
And all this made the bandit deviant division and Butcher Chen who were ambushed on both sides surprised when they saw it.
Butcher Chen watched those bandits settle the old and weak women and children, and when those young and strong people were about to set off with various weapons, he secretly said in his heart.
Why didn't they take the old and weak women and children with them and continue the march?
Did they perceive something? After so many battles, Butcher Chen's first thought was that the other party probably found his main force.
It seems that they have been prepared for a long time, but even if you are prepared, can you still defeat the main force of nearly 300 people in front of Huangzhushan with these more than 100 people?
He didn't know that there was a partial division of the bandits who were ambushing the flanks of the bandits in Huangzhushan, waiting for the main forces of the two sides to fight and kill them from behind.
At the same time, those who were out of the division watched the bandits in Huangzhushan also start to line up, and it seemed that this posture was a whole armament.
Could it be that these people from Huangzhushan already know that Li Da is in charge and they are about to arrive?
Those spies from Huangzhu Mountain are so powerful that they can monitor their movements all the way, but it doesn't matter, they definitely won't know that they are ambushed here.
At this moment, although the two sides have not yet made official contact, in fact, the soldiers of both sides have already started a big war and is about to break out!
Time passed bit by bit, and the owner of Li Zhai gradually approached with more than a hundred people, two miles, and then one mile, and when they got close to about five hundred meters, they could already directly see a group of bandits from Huangzhu Mountain standing behind the low mountain.
Because when they entered the one-mile range, Fang Dongquan and the others no longer let the troops hide, but directly lined up.
When these bandits see their people suddenly appear, I'm afraid they will be stupid!
But soon he found that things were a little different from what he expected, and the bandits on the other side saw that his people appeared on a large scale, and there was no riot.
What does this mean, it shows that the other party seems to have expected this situation a long time ago!
After another moment, the distance between the two sides was already close to a distance of about three hundred meters, but at this time, the other party did not turn around and run away, which made Fang Dongquan puzzled.
Suddenly, he had a very bad feeling in his heart!
This feeling told him that there was a fraud in this matter!
And he had just been born this year, and suddenly a group of people rushed out of the back of the Huangzhushan queue!
Seeing this scene, Fang Dongquan's face turned dark!
And the owner of Li Zhai on the opposite side showed a sneer: "If you want to ambush Lao Tzu, who is ambushing who doesn't know!" ”
