Chapter 69: Ambush in the Mountains

Hancheng, ten miles away.

On a hillside that looks like holding the moon in both arms, the grass is green and green, and wild flowers are blooming.

This place is flanked by top-notch hillsides, and in the middle is the official road from Hancheng to Yujiang City.

In the grass swaying in the breeze, Ji Liankai held half a piece of dead grass in his mouth, his body lying in the weeds, and his cold eyes stared at the south.

Next to him, Yang Jingluo rested his head on his arms, crossed Erlang's legs, pressed his broadsword on the ground, and listened to the sound of killing.

Nearly 20,000 Qin troops were scattered all over the hillside twice, like hunters hunting, setting traps early, holding their breath and waiting for the arrival of their prey.

The two earthen bags are not a single man, a land that is indestructible, but it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the past two days, Ji Liankai and Yang Jingluo led the troops to ambush and kill many soldiers who rushed to the aid of Hancheng from various counties in Baishui County, nailed them here, cut off the road to Hancheng, and made Hancheng a lonely city.

It is known that Yuan Song led the army to hurry over, and the Qin army unsheathed its long sword, sharpened its arrows and bows, and entered a state of battle.

Once Yuan Song's department approached, he pushed down the rolling wood and stones, and shot him in a rain of arrows, and hit him hard.

While waiting, a scout quickly ran up the dirt slope on the left, got into the grass, and lay beside Yang Jingluo and whispered: "General Yang, General Ji, the reinforcements in front are about to break into the ambush range." However, the rout soldiers who escaped from Hancheng also rushed to our position along the official road! ”

Hearing the news, Yang Jingluo carp rolled over as if it was rolling, crawling in the grass, eagle eyes seemed to look at the north through the slowly swinging grass tip, and saw the dust billowing in Hancheng, and more than 1,000 tigers fled in panic.

"General Ji, if you block the remnants of Hancheng's rout, most of these two tiger armies will converge in the south of our ambush!"

Ji Liankai nodded slightly, looked forward with cold eyes, grabbed the iron sword and whispered to his soldiers: "Inform the three armies, when the rout of Hancheng approaches, the whole army will not move, let the rout pass, and after they gather, continue to go north into the trap, push the rolling wood and stones, ignite the fireball and grass ball, and the archers will fire ten thousand arrows and hit them fiercely." ”

"Whoa!"

The scout heard the news and left.

At this time, Yang Jingluo turned around and approached, his face was sad, and he said anxiously: "General Ji, if we let the rout army approach, they will gather with reinforcements and turn south and flee, won't we miss the opportunity in vain?" ”

There were a lot of tiger troops in the official road, and they were allowed to flee south, and when they pursued with their divisions, and then conquered Yujiang City, the difficulty increased.

"Don't worry, Yuan Song has the courage of a horseman, and rarely has the strategy of a general, if he learns that the king led his troops to occupy Hancheng, he is eager to win, and he will definitely take advantage of the Qin army's unstable foothold, and take risks and try to sneak attack the Qin army. What's more, in the king's deployment, the Tiger Ben army was not allowed to flee back to southern Xinjiang! Ji Liankai said cautiously.

Whether Yuan Song went north or not, he was not absolutely sure.

However, judging from the current situation of the war, the situation may have changed in the direction he guessed.

"I hope so!"

Yang Jing replied in a low voice, quietly slipped down the hillside, and quickly headed towards the right side of the hill.

In the south of the official road, the dust is rolling, the reinforcements gallop in the dust, like the torrent that breaks the embankment is rushing mightily, the official road is north, the horse's hooves are rumbling, the rout loses the armor and abandons the armor, like a bird with a frightened bow passing through the place where the moon is held by the official road.

The Qin army, which was waiting for the day, was murderous one by one, watching the remnants of the soldiers flee under their noses, all of them were ready to move.

How can the military order be like a mountain, and it cannot be moved.

Lu Kang and Yuan Song converged under the noses of Qin Jun.

Yuan Song saw Lu Kang's identity clearly, called him by his name and asked: "Lu Kang, what happened in Hancheng, why did you flee in a hurry if you didn't lead your troops to resist the Qin army." ”

Seeing Yuan Song leading his troops to help, Lu Kang was disappointed.

However, at the critical moment, Yuan Song led the army to come to the aid is better than nothing, Lu Kang panted and said: "General Yuan, the Qin army designed to capture Ningyang, and not long ago, he forcibly captured Hancheng, and Ji Xuanling is leading the troops to pursue." ”

The city of Hancheng was lost.

Ningyang changes hands!

Yan Zhengfang unexpectedly expected the enemy in advance.

In an instant, Yuan Song realized how dangerous the situation was, and told his soldiers to transfer the concubine into the carriage, grabbed his own blade from the stirrup, a hammer the size of a sea bowl, raised his eyes, and noticed that a large number of Qin troops were chasing at the south gate of Hancheng, and the face full of flesh suddenly turned hideous.

Like an angry leopard, full of anger.

The Qin army attacked the city so fast, if it didn't resist and cut its edge, Yujiang City and Sanjiang City were afraid that it would be precarious to ask for money.

Impatient, Yuan Song shouted wildly: "The whole army is arrayed and marches forward to meet the Qin army!" ”

"General Yuan, the Qin army has an ambush in the south of Hancheng, this place is the momentum of the moon, the most suitable for ambush, the general should lead the troops to retreat to Yujiang City, stick to wait for reinforcements." Lu Kang said in a panic that he did not support the Northern Expedition.

He didn't know where the Qin army was hiding, but he knew that the Qin army had ambushed reinforcements from all walks of life in the south of Hancheng.

"General Lu, did you scare the Qin army?" Yuan Song held the original intention of martial arts, led the troops to come silently, did not take the Qin army in his eyes, and said disdainfully: "General Fang Cai led the troops through the official road safe and sound, where is the Qin army here?" ”

"Rush, face the Qin army!"

Yuan Song took the lead and headed north with a hammer.

Under the account, he did not dare to disobey the generals, held a shield, drew a bow, and charged across the horse in spirit.

Lu Kang shook his head helplessly, waved his gun and scolded resentfully: "This fat pig is going to bring the army to a dead end!" ”

Led the army to rush between the two dirt slopes, Yuan Song immediately felt a chill on the slopes on both sides, and couldn't help but look up to observe in case of accidents.

"Kill!"

"Push the rolling wood, light the fireball, the grass ball!"

When Yuan Song looked around, suddenly, a dark arrow flew from the left side, and even though he was in a hurry to defend, he still let the sharp arrow cut through the fat cheek.

Between Mougins, on the left side of the official road, a Qin general was like a tiger jumping out of the grass, leaning forward, standing at the top of the dirt slope, and the sharp blade of his sword pointed directly at the tiger army that was moving forward.

There was a rumbling sound above the dirt slope, like a sudden landslide, and half-human-high rolling logs and boulders the size of water tanks rolled down from the heights.

Between the rolling wood and stones, a one-person-high fireball whirred, rolling like an avalanche into the official road, and everywhere it passed, the grass and trees were burned, and the smoke was billowing out.

"Kill!"

"Shoot the arrows and shoot the whole army!"

Before the situation was clarified, the Qin army also rushed out on the right side of the official road, they defended with shields, shot arrows, and rained arrows like a storm, cutting off the retreat of the reinforcements.

At this moment, Lu Kang looked shocked, like a prey in a trap, not believing what his eyes saw.

"How is this possible, when was the Qin army lurking here, and why did he not find any trace of the other party when he led his troops to flee south!" Lu Kang muttered worriedly.

Yuan Song's neck was covered with cold sweat, and he muttered in a whisper: "Qin army, how many Qin troops are there in Baishui County, taking Ningyang and Hancheng, and there are still enough troops to set up an ambush here, did they stab the Qin army's nest?" ”
