Chapter 357: Ambush

The Huns outside the city began to act, standing on top of the city, Shao Zisong could easily see this. Looking from afar, I only saw those Huns, who had gradually withdrawn from under the city at this time. Then, the Hun soldiers who were originally resting in the barracks packed up their tents at this time, and then turned over and got on their horses.

Soon, all the Hun cavalry was in formation. Most of them slowly turned and headed north. But there were still some men and horses who stayed outside the city, standing in front of their camp, facing Luguan.

"It seems that the other party has indeed acted! And, as expected, they left a part of their forces behind to break the rear. Now it seems that there are at least a thousand of them! Shao Zisong, who was at the head of the city, saw this scene and said to Liang Cheng beside him.

"At this time, they are extremely vigilant, we can wait and talk! When the other party relaxes a little, let's go out again. Anyway, we just have to drag them here! Liang Cheng nodded and suggested.

"Tell me to clean up the city, especially those injured brothers, take good care of them!" Shao Zisong also had this idea, so he turned his head and started other things first.

Liu Xibeqi and others outside the city took more than 3,000 men and horses all the way to the north! Heading north along the straight, I didn't see anything special at first. However, the farther away he was from the direction of Luguan, the more he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The straightway built by the Qin Dynasty is nearly sixty or seventy meters wide at its widest point, and even if such a width is placed in later generations, it is a very remarkable thing.

However, due to the limitations of terrain, productivity, and scientific and technological conditions, it is inevitable that there are some places that cannot meet this standard when the mountains and valleys are cleared.

So, a thousand-mile-long straight road from end to end, especially those that pass through the mountains, there will always be places where it becomes narrow. However, even the narrowest place is more than ten meters wide.

After all, this straight road was originally intended for Qin Shi Huang's inspection, and if it was too narrow, I was afraid that the emperor's car would not be able to pass.

And this just gave Deng Qiang and them an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the men and horses sent out searched along both ends of the straight road, and it didn't take long to find a section of road that was wide in the middle and slightly narrower at both ends. After Deng Qiang personally inspected it, he decided to set up an ambush there.

"General, the Huns are really going north! However, looking at their appearance, it seems that they are a little vigilant! "A thousand men and horses are spread out on the hills on both sides of the straight, and it is especially important to guard the head and tail. At this time, the spies sent out ran back to report.

"That's natural! Those Huns are not stupid~, after discovering something strange, how could they not be guarded at all? By the way, are the brothers from the north ready? As soon as the Huns find them, they may rush over immediately, and they must hide immediately! Deng Qiang looked at the south and said.

"It's all set! The brothers pretended to cut down big trees there, and when the Huns saw them, they would surely think that they were about to reach their destination, and that they would surely speed up their advance when the time came. As long as all of them, even most of them, enter the ambush circle, we can annihilate them in one fell swoop! ”

"Good! Tell everybody, get ready! Today, we're going to have to do a big job! Hearing this, Deng Qiang nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered.

Liu Xibeqi led the team north, and the speed of the march was not very fast. Especially judging from the previous situation, it is obvious that the Huashan Army also sent reconnaissance horses, so it will solve the two roads of men and horses they sent.

Therefore, this time he sent some more people to investigate first, and he was very careful.

"General, general! The little one found that there were traces of the Huashan Army twenty miles to the north, and it seemed that those people were cutting down big trees in the mountains and forests! As soon as they saw us, they threw down their axes and ran away! Not long after, the men and horses sent out rushed back to report.

"Oh? Have you ever met the brigade of the Huashan Army? Hearing this, Liu Xibeqi hurriedly asked.

When the subordinates and others were trying to catch up, they saw the sound of horses' hooves coming from the north, and thought that it should be the scouts of the Huashan Army who had arrived. In order to report the news to the general, the little one withdrew first! ”

"It seems that the camp of the Huashan Army is over there. Pass the order, speed up, and be sure to kill the enemy camp before the opponent is ready! After a deep sigh, Liu Xibeqi immediately ordered.

He felt that since the other party's scouts had already discovered the spies he had sent, it was very likely that they would prepare first. Not to mention whether the other party is ready to resist, or the other party ran away all at once, and he also returned in vain!

If you go south this time, you can say that you have no merit, and you can't beat Luguan, if you can wipe out the Huashan army along the way, it will also be a credit. At least, after going back, he won't be troubled by Liu Yantou.

It was precisely because of this thought that he was so anxious to lead the troops over.

At his command, the cavalry brigade began to trot. After all, at this time, the other party had only discovered the spies on his side, and had not yet discovered that the large army was heading north. Once it runs too fast, the sound is too loud, and it will inevitably alarm the Huashan army.

According to common sense, this is not wrong, the problem is that the Huns did not know that all their actions were actually under the control of the Huashan army.

As they accelerated, Deng Qiang and them on the mountain soon saw the vanguard of the Huns rushing into the ambush circle.

The entire ambush circle is more than six miles long, and the opposing cavalry is not very scattered at this time! So, when all the cavalry entered the ambush circle, they just happened to be completely loaded inside.

"Big brother, is this the camp of the Huashan Army? Why does it look a little weird? Liu Xibeqi and the others, who were running in front, finally saw the Huashan military camp in the report at this time, but the appearance was very peculiar. Therefore, one of Liu Xibe's brothers couldn't help but say.

Liu Xi couldn't say it, anyway, he looked very strange. For there was a long wall in front of him, which was made of logs. I don't know how thick this wooden wall is, but at a glance, I can't see even a single gap.

And that's nothing, the main thing is that the wall is so high that two or three people stacked on top of each other just enough to reach the top of their heads. On top of the wall, there are many thorns, which is daunting. And the east and west ends of this wall are just connected to the mountains on both sides, just like the Great Wall built during the Qin and Han dynasties.

"What the hell is this Huashan Army doing, it's really a shame that they can figure it out, we really can't rush out of such a high wall!" Someone next to him let out an exclamation.

Liu Xibe, who was still a little puzzled, suddenly had a flash of inspiration after hearing this, and then his face changed greatly, and he immediately shouted: "Quick, order the whole army to retreat to Luguan!" Hurry back! ”

However, before his order could be heard, a loud bang was heard faintly coming from behind him. At the same time, above his head, there was a sudden sound of whistling and soft whistles, a sound that he was familiar with, because this was the sound of the most commonly used bows and arrows of the Huns.

"Not good, there is an ambush!" Liu Xibeqi reminded loudly, while looking around, trying to find out where the enemy was.

At this time, Deng Qiang on the mountain didn't need to hide much anymore, except for being careful with the bows and arrows of the Huns, they didn't need any scruples. The soldiers were condescending, standing on the top of the mountain and shooting arrows, and directly aimed the arrows at the Huns on the horse.

"General, general, no! We were ambushed, and suddenly a boulder forest rolled down on the way we came, blocking the road. Moreover, the Huashan army on the mountain also threw down the torches, and now the fire is raging at the other end, and we can't go back! Liu Xibeqi was thinking about a way to get out, and all the soldiers and horses behind him suddenly crowded over, and it was a mess.

Hearing this, Liu Xibeqi's face suddenly turned pale. He finally realized that he had made a big mistake, he wanted to get credit too much, and he wanted to defeat the Huashan army too much, so he had already forgotten the taboo of marching.

"Don't panic, everyone, quickly find a place to hide! Once my third brother and they find out that something is wrong here, they will come to the rescue immediately! After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xibeqi thought of Liu Weichen's team that left behind, and hurriedly said to everyone, hoping to boost morale.

"Whew!" But at this moment, only the sound of a bowstring was heard, and then, a sharp arrow flew from the top of the opposite mountain, which happened to pierce Liu Xibeqi's heart at once.

Liu Xibeqi glanced down at his chest, as if he couldn't believe it, and then raised his head to look at the other side, as if he was seeing a big man in armor slowly put down the bow and arrow in his hand. Then he slammed off his horse.

"Oh no, the general was shot dead! The general is dead! "Liu Xi Beqi was killed, and suddenly the Huns below were in chaos! One by one, they were like headless flies, and in a panic, they ran to the bottom of the mountain to avoid the attack.

On the top of the mountain, Deng Qiang had just put down the bow and arrow in his hand. A soldier next to him looked at it and said, "The general is good at archery, and it was an arrow hit!" This person has armor on his body, and there is no way to take him with ordinary bows and arrows, only a strong bow! I think that kid should be the leader of these people, if he dies, the rest of the people will really be in chaos! ”

"Pass the order, according to the previous plan, quickly clean up the enemy below, and then go to support General Shao's side!" Deng Qiang did not have a smug look on his face, and then ordered.
