Chapter 466: The Defeated Army is Ambushed
Without waiting for Shen Jin to speak, Yang Congyi continued: "The Huns chase water and grass all the year round, where the grass is thick, they are clear, the water and grass are fertile, they can't not go, and the champion Hou led the army to work in such places, the Huns lived in water and grass, and the champion Hou set up ambushes in water and grass, and was one step ahead of the Huns everywhere, and the final result was naturally quite a success, and won one big victory after another." ”
"In this way, General Yao also calculated that General Pan was going to pass by here, so he planned to set up an ambush here? But how did he calculate that General Pan would pass through this river valley? Shen Jin still didn't believe it.
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Before entering the mountain, I gave the whole army five days to prepare, some people trained in the school field, some people were collecting supplies, and some people went into the mountains in advance to investigate. Five days ago, I gave them four maps of Yiwu County, the map of this mountain is very brief, only a little half, with these five days, you can go into the mountain to find someone to figure out the general terrain. As I expected, Pan Cheng will definitely come from the opposite side, as for whether he will step into the trap set by Yao Chang, it depends on which of them is more careful. ”
Hearing this, Shen Jin stopped talking, and he could indeed make a lot of preparations in five days. Looking at General Yao's confident appearance and layout in advance, I am afraid that he will have this plan after entering the mountain.
It is no wonder that his march a few days ago was unhurried, and he just followed General Pan's marching route, but he did not rush to catch up, for fear that it would create a false impression for General Pan and make him believe that even if General Yao's troops were far away, and even if they could not be seen for a long time, they would still catch up slowly.
When General Pan really believed that General Yao was still far behind, and he relaxed his guard, was negligent, and only paid his limited attention behind him, he walked into General Yao's ambush trap without warning.
If this is the case, with the intention and the unintentional, General Pan is afraid that he will definitely lose.
"I think General Yao has won this battle." Shen Jin looked at the camp in the distance and said.
Yang Congyi smiled: "Not necessarily, although Pan Cheng is brave, he is not as brave and resourceless as Su Zhong, he still has some ideas." ”
Shen Jin shook his head and said: "If you want to talk about planning, how can General Pan have the farthest and deepest planning of General Yao, General Yao has already set a trap for General Pan from the moment he entered the mountain." ”
As soon as the words fell, he immediately said: "No, maybe General Yao had already thought of a strategy to deal with General Pan and even other generals before he entered the mountain." ”
Yang Congyi laughed and said: "Maybe, is it really as you think, when this battle is clear, you can ask General Yao." ”
Yao Chang is not a brave warrior in the army, but his advantages are also obvious, down-to-earth, obedient, not impulsive, good at thinking, if Su Zhong is a fierce general, then he is a wise general.
However, the Xuanwei army has little experience, and has not fought a few battles, so it is difficult for them to be called real generals.
And now, what they need is accumulation and tempering.
There was nothing to do that night, although Yang Congyi and the others were not very tired in the past few days, they also went back to the tent early to rest.
In the middle of the night, Lin Jing Tianqing and Yang Congyi woke up, and after a little activity, they found another mountain stone to meditate and practice, swallow the qi of heaven and earth, and run the Taoist inner breath.
The next morning, after Yao Chang's troops were busy for more than an hour, they quickly evacuated from the river valley and disappeared into the mountains and forests on both sides.
Yang Congyi knew that they hadn't left, because they were too far away, he didn't know what kind of ambush they had set up, but he was judging this battle, and he wouldn't participate until the winner was decided.
When the sun is scorching, the cool mountain forest quickly heats up, and even if the forest is dense, it is difficult to resist the blazing sun.
The tent where they were sleeping in the open moved deeper into the dense forest, covered with green branches and leaves, completely hiding their traces, and added a shade in front of the tent to cool down slightly.
From noon to dusk, there was no movement in the river valley, and there was no Yao Changbu or Pan Cheng's people.
The sun sets, the moon and stars slowly brighten, there are no lights under the mountain, and there is still no movement heard. If it weren't for staring at the river valley all day, it would almost be suspected that Yao Chang's troops had disappeared into the river valley and marched elsewhere.
In the dead of night, silently.
As a ray of dawn appeared in the sky, another night passed.
It was very quiet under the mountain, and Yang Congyi and the others looked at the river valley and did not dare to speak loudly, for fear that their voices would spread too far in this silent mountain forest, exposing the ambush set up by Yao Changbu.
"My lord, when will General Pan come?" Shen Jin stood under the tree and asked quietly.
"It should be soon, before noon." Yang Congyi said lightly, it is not easy for a whole army to lie in ambush for twelve hours and lurk for a whole army, but insisting on twelve hours should be the limit, after all, it is obviously not possible for soldiers to be hungry for a long time.
Shen Jin said: "I think the same as adults. General Yao and the others had been staying here for a whole day, apparently planning in advance for when General Pan would pass by. According to my observation, a few mountain people who walked through the mountains yesterday afternoon were suspicious, looking around on the road, as if they were spying on something, and those people were probably the spies released by General Pan in advance, but they did not go deep into the forest to investigate, but only watched from a distance on the side of the road, so the news they sent back would inevitably make General Pan make a wrong judgment and eventually lose the battle. ”
Yang Congyi said with a smile: "Yes, you observed very carefully, yesterday those mountain people were indeed spies in the army, but they were negligent, and they may have taken the order to explore the road seriously, otherwise why would they not go to the forest for a single step, and just look at the roadside like a horse." ”
Then he said: "If Pan Cheng loses this battle, he will be defeated because his general orders are not strict, or he himself does not pay enough attention to this battle, and he is suspected of underestimating the enemy." Let's see the final result. ”
"That's true." Shen Jin replied lightly.
Birds and cicadas filled the dense forest, and the three of them waited for Pan Chengbu to appear in the river valley, win or lose, and end their trip to the mountains in the past few days.
An hour later, the July sun was even fiercer, and the woods were even more stuffy.
Suddenly, a bird chirped in the distance, breaking the silence of the valley.
Moments later, a cacophony of voices could be heard in the distance, and a force appeared in the valley.
"What a big! General Marksman! A soldier carrying a bird ran to one of the marching men and handed his prey.
Pan Cheng glanced at it, and replied with an unmoved expression: "Beat a few more, and bake them for a while." ”
The soldier immediately replied, "Yes, General." There's a lot of prey in this mountain, why don't we do it here? ”
Pan Cheng looked around, looked at the surrounding terrain, and then replied: "There are mountains and rivers here, and it is not impossible to rest here." ”
"Order the whole army to rest in this valley for an hour!"
The military order spread quickly.
After a short time, the commander stopped in the river valley.
Because it is a short rest, there is no need to camp, some people go to the river to get water, some people go to the river to bathe, some people go to the trees to cool off, some people go to the mountains to hunt, and everyone moves freely.
Half an hour later, a strange chirp suddenly sounded in the mountains!
In the mountains and forests on both sides of the river valley, two teams of men and horses quickly rushed out, and in an instant, they approached the river valley, and directly surrounded Pan Cheng's defenseless troops who were resting freely in the river valley!
And the soldiers who took a bath in the river did not get ashore until the other side attacked, let alone get their weapons, and they did not even put on their clothes.
The entire Pan Cheng Department didn't find the other party until it was almost surrounded, and then began to look for the weapon that was placed somewhere it was, but for a while, all the soldiers were in a mess, panicked, and in a mess, where could they still find their own weapons?
They always thought that the other party would chase after them, and they fantasized about dragging each other down, and finding a suitable place to take them down directly, where did they think that the other party would appear in front of them as if they had wings?
Just when the soldiers were in confusion, Pan Cheng was shocked, he immediately calmed down, and immediately raised his arms, and the team surrounded in the river valley ran quickly, quickly formed a battle formation, and formed a confrontation with the other party.
However, although his team was in formation, many of them were bare-handed and did not have their weapons at all.
One person came out of the spear team that surrounded them, and it was Yao Chang.
I only heard him shout loudly: "Brother Pan, brother, I have been waiting for you for a long time, you are late!" ”
Pan Cheng was speechless, he was obviously cautious and kept sending people to explore the way, how could he be ambushed?
Seeing that the other party didn't reply, Yao Chang shouted again: "Brother Pan, surrender, you have already lost dozens of people." ”
"A dignified man, how can there be a reason to surrender! Brothers, rush out! Pan Cheng shouted in the army, and then led people to rush straight to the other party.
At the command, even though there were no weapons in their hands, the soldiers roared and rushed forward, completely oblivious to the weapons and equipment of the other side.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Yao Chang gave an order, and the bows and arrows behind the spear opened, and a rain of arrows flew towards the other party in an instant.
The soldiers who rushed forward, as soon as they saw the sharp arrows flying, their faces suddenly changed color, and they wanted to dodge in panic, but no matter how fast they moved, could they be as fast as the arrows that came in an instant?
The soldiers in the front row were hit by arrows one after another!
Just when he was desperate, he didn't feel any pain in his body, and when he looked down at the arrows that fell to the ground, he suddenly remembered that the arrows used in this actual battle were all without arrows.
Since there are no arrows, what are you afraid of?
The soldier was in a desperate situation, and a thought instantly appeared in his heart, as long as he rushed over, he could win them with his bare hands!
With this thought, the soldiers who rushed up were even more relieved and bold, completely ignoring the rain of arrows flying a few feet away and the spears protecting the archers on the periphery, and flew over, grabbed the spears with the head removed and started hand-to-hand combat.
The formation was broken, and the upper sides quarreled and scuffled together, and the river valley suddenly became a mess, shouting and scolding.
