Chapter 306: Ambush

The general nodded knowingly, and left here with his soldiers, watching the 40,000 troops gradually drift away and gradually turn into a black dot, disappearing at the junction of heaven and earth, Beigong Boyu squinted his eyes, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Zhao Yi, I want to see how you can break this trick of divine soldiers descending from the sky!" ”

This Baipi Mountain is in the hands of the Liangzhou government, and Beigong Boyu has already instructed the general to travel day and night, and not let anyone discover it along the way. Beigong Boyu was very satisfied with his plan, he guessed that even if Zhao Yi wanted to break his head, he would never have imagined that he would set up an ambush on the territory of the government.

In a place that he thought was safe, he suddenly killed a large group of soldiers, and just one surprise would cause heavy losses to the officers and troops of Zhao Yi's department.

Beigong Boyu, who entered the military tent, continued to check the map, and discussed the target of the next attack with Han Sui, Bian Zhang and others. In Beigong Boyu's opinion, as long as the men and horses in ambush in Baipi Mountain succeed in the sneak attack, Zhao Yi's official army will lose half of the soldiers and horses, and in that case, it will not be difficult for him to lead the superior forces to take advantage of the situation and defeat the remnants of Zhao Yi's army in one fell swoop.

And Zhao Yi and others who were walking in Liangzhou did not know that Beigong Boyu was calculating himself, Zhao Yi was marching towards the city occupied by Xiliang under the leadership of the new Liangzhou Assassin, and the former Liangzhou Assassin was killed by Han Sui and Bian Zhang, and this new assassin was transferred from the county guard in a hurry.

This was suddenly promoted from the county guard to the feudal official who is equivalent to the state pastor, not only did he not have a happy look in his heart, but on the contrary, he was full of panic, it was precisely because of the turmoil of Beigong Boyu in his own territory, and now Beigong Boyu has almost occupied half of Liangzhou, and as the history of Liangzhou Thorn, he is the first to bear the brunt, if the rebellion of Beigong Boyu cannot be pacified, then the imperial court may find its own trouble, use itself as a scapegoat, saying that it is incapable of beheading it, and stabilize the turbulent people of Xiliang.

It's not once or twice in history that this trick has appeared, especially when the situation is so volatile. For example, if the grain and grass in the army have not arrived for a long time, and the hearts of the soldiers are fluctuating, as a general, they will behead the grain inspector, saying that the grain supervisor is delaying the opportunity to stabilize the morale of the army, all of which are very important moves.

This assassin also received the army of the Five Routes Imperial Court, but the imperial army entered Youzhou and returned in defeat. Although Dong Zhuo did not lose the soldiers and brought the soldiers back safely, the assassin looked down on Dong Zhuo very much. Because although the generals such as Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen were defeated, they were determined to fight to the death with the Qiang soldiers.

But Dong Zhuo took the soldiers around and returned to the court safe and sound. What made Thorn Shi even more angry was that Dong Zhuo was named a Zhonglang general by the imperial court because of this incident.

Seeing that the rebels of Xiliang were getting stronger and stronger, it was quite difficult for the assassin to do it, and at this time the news came from the imperial court that Zhao Yi personally led the army into Liangzhou, and so on gave the assassin a hope.

Assassin Shi personally went out of Liangzhou thirty miles to bring Zhao Yi's army into Liangzhou, Zhao Yi also knew that the situation was urgent now, and did not be too polite to Assassin Shi, but asked Assassin Shi about the current situation in Xiliang.

Although Cao Cao and Sun Jian had already said something to Zhao Yi along the way, the situation that the two of them knew was three months from now, and these things had long been outdated.

The assassin Shi explained the situation of Beigong Boyu in detail, and then sighed and said: "The Xiliang rebels now occupy almost half of Liangzhou, fighting against the imperial court, and it is becoming more and more difficult for this assassin to do it. Saying that, he glanced at Zhao Yi, "Now this official has put all his hopes on the general, hoping that the general can lead the army of the Son of Heaven to defeat Beigong Boyu in one fell swoop, and return Liangzhou to peace." ”

"Please rest assured, Lord Assassin, Bolai will definitely live up to the trust." Zhao Yi said.

The assassin did not hide anything from Zhao Yi, and told in detail what his soldiers had heard, and marked a few places on the map: "General Zhao, these places are the key defensive places of the Qiang soldiers and horses." ”

Cao Cao and Sun Jian also looked at these places, with a look of surprise on their faces: "Beigong Boyu's marching formation is more proficient than three months ago, and deploying soldiers in these places is equivalent to choking the throat of the northwest of Liangzhou, if our army does not take these places, then it will not be able to recover the lost territory." However, these places are in a state of flux, and if we attack one place, it will certainly cause a chain reaction, and then our army will be attacked on the back, which will be very unfavorable to our army. ”

Cao Cao and Sun Jian analyzed the benefits of Beigong Boyu's formation in the slightest, and stabbed Shi praised: "What the two generals said is extremely true. ”

Zhao Yi stared at these places and narrowed his eyes, Beigong Boyu's position was indeed difficult to break, and Zhao Yi's face became a little solemn.

Seeing that Zhao Yi's face had changed, this assassin felt a sigh in his heart, and hurriedly asked Zhao Yi: "Lord Zhao has a strategy to attack the city?" ”

Zhao Yi glanced at this assassin with a wry smile, and said in his heart Does this guy treat me as an immortal, now I don't know the deployment of Beigong Boyu's troops, and second, I haven't checked the battlefield situation, how can I have a plan: "The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, how can I count everything, if I make a mistake, maybe I will put the army in danger." ”

Cao Cao and Sun Jian nodded in agreement with Zhao Yi's statement, now that the two sides are at war, if the plan is formulated too carefully, it will limit the general's thinking and deal with the rapidly changing battlefield situation with a rigid mind, but it will suffer a big loss.

Thorn Shi is not very familiar with the matter of marching and fighting, but his attitude is very good, and when he sees that he has said something wrong, he immediately bows down and apologizes.

Zhao Yi didn't care about the previous words of the assassin Shi, and carefully checked the map of Xiliang: "It's still early, your lord can send a person who is familiar with the terrain of Xiliang to lead the army to continue to advance." ”

Now that the situation in Liangzhou is tense, Thorn Shi naturally wants to solve Beigong Boyu as soon as possible, and after hearing Zhao Yi's words, he immediately nodded and agreed, and called someone to guide Zhao Yi on the way, and he said that he would prepare materials for Zhao Yi and make logistical preparations for the army.

The war displaced the people of Liangzhou, Zhao Yi saw many homeless people walking in the direction of Xiliang along the way, seeing the appearance of these homeless people with yellow muscles and thin muscles, Zhao Yi sighed in his heart, in this era when in addition to soldiers are people, the lives of the people are difficult to maintain.

Accompanied by the smoke is banditry, Xiliang's so-called bandits, but some homeless people gathered to rob houses, this kind of bandits have no combat effectiveness, and when they saw the officials and soldiers from afar, they were frightened and fled in all directions.

Zhao Yi and the others' minds were not on the bandits, but on Beigong Boyu. Killing bandits is just a piece of cake for Zhao Yi's army, but now Liangzhou's henchmen are not the bandits formed by these homeless people, but Beigong Boyu, who is located in the northwest of Xiliang.

As long as Beigong Boyu is eliminated and the stability of Liangzhou is restored, then the bandits will be self-defeating. There are peaceful days, and fools want to live this life of licking blood from the knife edge.

Zhao Yi's army marched in Liangzhou for two days, and the person who led the way pointed out the path ahead: "General, after crossing this hill, we will walk more than thirty miles, and we will arrive at the county seat of the Biaoshi, which is the place where the Beigong Boyu troops are located. ”

Zhao Yi looked at the situation in front of him and nodded, waved his hand to beckon the army to continue advancing, and ordered to set up camp twenty miles away from the county seat of the Biaoshi family.

After walking a mile, the hill that looked like a black spot just now became much clearer, and the closer it was to the hill, the more Zhao Yi's eyes were attracted by the hill, because the hill was too quiet, and his own brigade of soldiers and horses was marching, and it stands to reason that the murderous bird would flutter its wings and leave, but the hill did not react at all.

"What's the name of this hill ahead?" Zhao Yi asked, now that he was about to enter the strength range of Beigong Boyu, Zhao Yiyou had to act cautiously.

The man who led the way casually glanced at the hill: "It's called Baipi Mountain." ”

"If you don't take this road, is there another way to take a detour?" Zhao Yi stopped and asked the person who led the way.

This person couldn't understand what Zhao Yi was thinking, but he still said truthfully: "Yes, but you have to walk an extra twenty miles." ”

"Oh." Zhao Yi stared at the path ahead and fell into deep thought. Cao Cao and Sun Jian saw Zhao Yi's hesitant look on his face, and rode their horses to Zhao Yi: "General, but is there something wrong with the path?" ”

Zhao Yi pointed to the Baipi Mountain in front of him: "This mountain is condescending, if there are ambush soldiers here, our officers and soldiers will definitely suffer heavy losses." ”

Cao Cao and Sun Jian are also cautious people, this Baipi Mountain is indeed the best ambush location, although this hill does not see anything abnormal on the surface, but if there is really an ambush on the mountain, how can you see the horse's feet.

"The general is right, why don't we go on a different route." Cao Cao agreed with Zhao Yi's point of view, preferring to believe that he has it rather than believe that he has not. Cao Cao didn't dare to bet the lives of these tens of thousands of soldiers.

The Qiang soldiers and horses hiding on Baipi Mountain were ready to attack when they saw the officers and soldiers approaching, but the officers and soldiers stopped five miles away from Baipi Mountain, and without half an hour of changing their formation, they actually walked towards another road.

When the Qiang general saw this situation, his face was full of surprise: "Could it be that Zhao Yi saw something?" ”

"General, whether we attack or not, now the officers and troops are only five miles away from us, and the cavalry will be able to catch up with them in a quarter of an hour." A lieutenant asked the general.

The general waved his hand and said: "The officers and troops have been rerouted, and now the fighter plane has disappeared, pass my order, and the army will return immediately." "The troops on the mountain are for a surprise attack on the official army, although the distance between the two sides is not far now, but when their soldiers rush over, the official army has long been ready to respond, even if the general is arrogant, he will not be stupid enough to confront Zhao Yi's army of more than 100,000 with his 40,000 soldiers.

And Zhao Yi, who turned around, didn't walk for long, only to see an eagle swooping down and landing on a young man's shoulder, Murong Feng immediately reported: "Lord, there are indeed soldiers and horses withdrawing from Baipi Mountain." ”

Zhao Yi's eyes lit up: "How many people are there?" ”

"Not less than thirty thousand."

Zhao Yi's eyes narrowed, and he secretly said that Beigong Boyu was really willing to pay the capital. His eyes rolled twice: "Pass my order, and the archers of all your subordinates will immediately mount their horses with bows and arrows!" ”
