Chapter 172: Luring the Enemy Deeper

Ah Jiu changed the outfit of his team, put on the deerskin skirts of the nomadic tribesmen in Liaodong, smeared his face with colored mud, shaved and cut his hair, made three locks, and dragged a ridiculous pig's tail behind him.

On horseback, carrying some large bags and small boxes, disguised as a small caravan carrying goods, they shrank and headed towards the Hutai camp.

Hutai camp is actually an earthen city, but it covers a wide area, and it is the place where the Yan people are stationed in the land of Liaodong, and the city wall is tall and very strong.

According to the information from the secret agent, Guo Yang knew that the Yan people had built seven or eight such earthen cities in the land of Liaodong, which were connected from end to end, echoing each other from afar, and were fighting each other's horns, but it was a long snake array.

Hit the head, tail to.

Hit the tail, the head to.

Hit the middle, head to tail.

And the Hutai camp is in the middle of this poisonous snake, and Guo Yang is fighting it.

wants to break the long snake of the dog day and slowly clean it up, this is Guo Yang's plan. In order to prevent the two large battalions from attacking at the same time, they can only sneak attack, or lure the snake out of the hole, and fight a silent ambush battle, killing everyone.

When Ah Jiu led a group of men and horses, when he approached the Hutai camp, he dispersed everyone, like an ordinary caravan, panicked and shrunk, like a group of wild dogs who had never seen the world.

"Stop, who are you?" When they were about to reach the west gate of Tucheng, a group of soldiers appeared on the city wall, holding bows and crossbows, aimed at the wines.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't let go of arrows, we are a caravan, not a steppe people." Ah Jiu shouted loudly.

"Caravans? Damn, I haven't seen a caravan in years, where are you from? A small leader of the soldiers asked, squinting his eyes.

"We were originally a caravan from Tianshui Village on the outskirts of Jicheng, and we trafficked a batch of salt to the grassland people. In desperation, we rushed into the depths of the grassland, relying on hunting for a living, these several years, finally saved hundreds of mink, tiger skin, and a batch of century-old ginseng, planning to return to Jicheng, never to do business again. ”

Ah Jiu said dejectedly, jumped off the horse, and ripped off a burden, which was five or six superb mink skins.

The soldiers at the head of the city have long believed Ah Jiu's nonsense, and if you look at those mink skins, each one is a sky-high price!

A small leader whispered a few words, and one of the soldiers turned and left, as if to report to their general.

"Brothers, merchant, hard work, we will entertain you well when we enter the city." At the head of the city, the little leader said with a smile.

"This lord, you are the army of the Lonely Bamboo Country, right? How is your Lord Yin Song? We have been hiding in the mountains and old forests all these years, and we don't know anything. Ah Jiu asked loudly.

The little leader was obviously stunned, then laughed and said, "Yes, we are the army of the Lone Bamboo Country, and Lord Yin Song sent us to protect the caravan." ”

The man of Ah Jiu looked extremely excited and cheered loudly.

"Brothers, merchant, you first dismount and rest for a while, our general will come later, his old man likes to deal with merchants the most, and when the city gate is opened, you will wait to eat meat and drink wine." The little leader laughed.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen." Ah Jiu gratefully saluted the soldiers at the head of the city, and turned around to beckon everyone to dismount and rest.

The men dismounted loosely from their horses, sat on the ground, took out their skins to drink, chewed on dried meat, and looked tired.

After a while, a general rode up to the city and looked at them coldly.

For a long time, he did not speak.

"General, these merchants ......," the little leader said cautiously.

"Killed." The general said coldly.

"They have a hundred people, and horses, do you want to lure them into the city before they do it?" The little leader whispered.

"We're light cavalry, so we don't have to bother. You rushed head-on, and the others went out through the north gate and the south gate, surrounded them, and killed them all. The general whispered.

"Yes, General!" The little leader bowed and ran down the wall.

The gates slowly opened, and a group of cavalry quietly appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's hard work!" Ah Jiu smiled and took two steps forward.

Those Yan cavalry were silent and slowly pushed forward.

"Shopkeeper, something is wrong, they are not the army of the Lonely Bamboo Country!" A young man with unkempt hair suddenly shouted.

"Not from the Lone Bamboo Country? It's not good, it's Yan Guoren! ”

"Hurry up, get on the horse, let's run!"

The people of Ah Jiu were in a commotion, and they clumsily climbed on their horses and squeezed backwards.

Boom Boom –

Suddenly, two other groups of cavalry outflanked from both flanks, at least two hundred-man cavalry.

"Brothers, they are from the Yan Kingdom, run!" Ah Jiu turned over and got on the horse, patted the horse and left.

The cavalry that came out of Ximen was not in a hurry to attack, but quickly dispersed, formed a defensive line, took out bows and arrows, and aimed at Ah Jiu and others.

Ah Jiu's man looked clumsy, but the speed of the war horse under his crotch was not slow at all, and he shouted and fled into the distance.

The two teams of cavalry of the Yan Kingdom were about to close together to form a huge encirclement, but Ah Jiu rode their horses and galloped out of the middle of the two groups of men and horses.

The cavalry of the Yan Kingdom released arrows one after another, but they were avoided by those miscellaneous debris.

Moreover, those dogs even dared to release arrows, and accidentally shot seven or eight Yan State soldiers.

However, they look like a rabble.

Because, along the way, because I was too panicked, a lot of the big bags and small boxes on the horse's back were dropped.

In the baggage, there are mink, tiger skins and other things, and in the small box, more than a dozen ginseng sticks are rolled out, and you can know at a glance that they are definitely the best for more than 100 years.

The cavalry of the Yan Kingdom rushed up and began to loot those sky-high things, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.

The general standing at the head of the city had a pale face, glanced coldly at his soldiers, looked at the caravan fleeing in embarrassment, and was silent for a long time.

A small leader standing in front of him panicked, quickly knelt down, and even confessed that he deserved to die.

"The order was given, and the whole army attacked and destroyed the caravan. If there are any more robbers, they will rectify the Fa on the spot. The general said coldly.

Damn, there are so many good things, Lao Tzu didn't even pinch his hands to play with them, and a bunch of dog offal as soldiers dared to pounce on them and rob them?

The order was quickly conveyed, and the Hutai battalion opened all four gates and the whole army was dispatched.

A caravan of a hundred or so people, easily killed, that is an astonishing wealth, better than robbing twenty or thirty small tribes like poor ghosts!

This kind of good thing made this general of Yan who can fight well tempted.

Moreover, in order to motivate his army, Ji Ke, the prince of Yan State, personally promised to rush into those nomadic tribes and grab everything to these generals and soldiers.

The nomadic tribe already lived a poor life, and their only wealth was cattle, sheep and horses, and most of the miscellaneous pieces were taken with them when they fled for their lives.

However, even so, these generals and soldiers still made a lot of money, not to mention the cattle and sheep, and the dirty male and female shepherds who were caught were sold for a lot of money.

The men are okay to say, it's a big deal to have the thumbs of both hands chopped off and shackled and become slaves.

The women of the nomadic tribes had to suffer a great sin, first they were wantonly spoiled by these beasts, and when they were finished, they were in a good mood, and they sold them to the nobles for some wine money, and when they were in a bad mood, they picked them with spears and carried them on their shoulders, like picking a naked-striped doe, bloody, soft, and really fucking exciting.

The damn war has driven everyone crazy, grinning and dancing with teeth and claws, one by one dehumanized.

The cavalry of the nomadic tribes was similar, they were also miscellaneous, torturing the enemy in the same way.

A big piece of fat meat, if you don't swallow it in one bite, what kind of battle do you come to fight bitterly?

Therefore, Guo Yang casually threw a bait out, and General Yan Guo easily took the bait.

With nearly 2,000 light cavalry, it can level some small vassal states, and a small caravan can be regarded as a field training.

The horses neighed, the hooves of the eight thousand horses rushed forward, booming, the earth shook the mountains, and it was terrifying.

"Two teams outflank, one team chases!" The general sat majestically on a tall horse, and with a wave of his whip, the army divided into three lanes and pursued forward.

Ah Jiu's small group of men and horses was not in a hurry or slow, and from time to time they shot a few arrows, and a few Yan cavalry rolled off their horses.

This provoked the light cavalry to thunder even more, and galloped wildly, eager to pounce on them and tear up the merchant's miscellaneous pieces.

A team of 100 people, dragging an army of 2,000 light cavalry to rumble into the distance, Ah Jiu was indeed an expert in this regard, and while directing everyone to run in a mess, he threw things on the ground, mink, bear skin, tiger skin, ginseng, and scattered coins, which made the group behind go crazy.

At the same time, he also kept his cavalry cold arrows on the go, in order to prove that he was not a decoy.

In fact, for those Yan cavalry, the great victory in the past year or two has long overwhelmed their minds, as long as they see the people of the nomadic tribe, they have long regarded them as prey, where can they still take care of the deception.

Soon, Ah Jiu led those greedy guys into the col.

The terrain here resembles a huge dustpan, with not too steep slopes on three sides and an entrance on one side.

When Ah Jiu and the others rushed into the dustpan, those Yan cavalry shouted with joy, and even forgot to maintain the formation and rushed in.

The general of the Yan State was the same, without the slightest hesitation, and directly followed the army into the dustpan.

"The two teams of light cavalry on the flanks continue to outflank, and the Chinese army brigade maintains formation and blocks the dustpan mouth!" The general shouted in a deep voice, and drew a bronze sword.

The cavalry shouted and charged wildly, seeing that they were about to catch up with the caravan.

Ah Jiu glanced back and sneered.

"Stay in formation, go straight up the hill, turn around and poke them in the ass!" Ah Jiu whispered, and the horsewhip "horn" jumped out.

The hundred-man team adjusted its formation in a few breaths, rolled up the hillside, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

While galloping on the horse, he casually threw the large bags and small boxes on the horse's back to the ground.

Those Yan cavalry were a little stunned, but when they saw those large bags and small boxes of valuables, they completely forgot the sense of foreboding in their hearts.

"Send a team of soldiers to pick up things, and the others will continue to pursue and outflank, and no one will be spared!" General Yan Guo shouted loudly.

The fat that was delivered to the mouth, had to be eaten.

If you can clean up those bones, maybe there will be some bone marrow that you can smash.

This chaotic world makes this general not as good as a wild dog, cruel by nature, lustful for profit, and regardless of it.

……

Guo Yang and Duanmu Niu sat on a high place, drinking wine, and looked coldly at the three teams of light cavalry in the mountain col.

"Sheep, are you sure?" Duanmu Niu is still a little uneasy.

The other party is nearly 2,000 light cavalry, and Guo Yang has only 1,000 people in his hands, and it doesn't look particularly majestic, not much better than Wang Hu's bandit team.

"Come, drink, it's their business to fight." Guo Yang took the wine and said with a smile.

"Okay, Guo Yang, to be honest, it's the first time I've seen a war with my own eyes, I'm a little nervous, don't laugh at it." Duanmu Niu smiled bitterly.
