Chapter 222: Ambush
Wang Lei evacuated with the soldiers, this news reached Yuan Shao's ears in the early morning of the next day, Yuan Shao finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing loudly with his hands on his hips.
"After we evacuated from Nanpi County, we were chased all the way and were embarrassed!"
"Wang Lei retreated, our hard days are over!"
"Now, it's time to fight back, Wang Lei wants to jump out of the encirclement of Nanpi County, how can it be so easy, pass the order, and order all counties and villages to organize soldiers to intercept Wang Lei!"
Yuan Shao looked at Xu Yu and gave an order directly.
"Yes!"
Xu You nodded and immediately ordered.
Yuan Shao changed his words and said, "Set off and return to Nanpi County!" ”
"Slow down!"
Xu You stretched out his hand to stop and persuaded: "Lord, although we have the news of Wang Lei's evacuation, we have to prevent Wang Lei from deliberately cheating, if Wang Lei pretends to retreat, but ambushes him halfway, when the time comes, with the strength around the lord, he will not be able to stop Wang Lei's attack, and he suggests that the lord should postpone the time of withdrawing to Nanpi County, and wait for the news from the front to be confirmed, and then set off to return!" ”
Yuan Shao nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it makes sense, Ziyuan's analysis is very right, Wang Lei has a cunning temperament and is used to deceiving people, we can't be fooled, don't go back for the time being, wait for the news of Wang Lei's evacuation to be confirmed, and then it's not too late to catch up!" ”
Xu You said: "The lord is wise! ”
A touch of expectation appeared on Yuan Shao's face, hoping that Wang Lei would be left behind.
……
Wang Lei led the Tiger Battalion and cavalry to retreat, and caught up with the army led by Tai Shici that afternoon.
During the break, Wang Lei found Tai Shici and asked, "Ziyi, how is the situation ahead!" ”
After Tai Shi Ci was defeated by Gao Ran, he did things a lot calmer, and said: "According to the report of the sentinel, the army withdrawn by Tai Shi Ci from Zhongshan Country is rushing back, at present, since we have just led the troops to retreat, the news has not yet reached the ears of the leading generals, I suggest that we fight another ambush war, take advantage of the other party's eagerness to withdraw, and the opportunity to not know that we withdraw the news, defeat this army, and give Yuan Shao a hard lesson,!" ”
Wang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Yes!" ”
Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists and said, "Since the lord agrees, I will arrange it immediately!" ”
Wang Lei said: "This battle is commanded by you!" ”
"Yes!"
Tai Shi Ci excitedly went to prepare, planning the last battle to leave Nanpi County.
……
Qili Township is located in the west of Nanpi County.
This area has many mountainous roads, steep slopes, and the roads under the mountain are long and narrow, many roads are walking in the valley, after Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang withdrew from Zhongshan with the soldiers, the two ordered the soldiers under their command to hurry up and return to Nanpi County in the shortest possible time, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang are both generals under Yuan Shao, with extraordinary martial arts and a good commander of the army.
"Brother, we have been fighting in Zhongshan Country for several months, but we have not achieved any success, and we still haven't won Zhongshan Kingdom, alas, ......"
Lu Xiang thought about going back to face Yuan Shao's affairs, and he felt a big headache.
If you return in vain, you will definitely be blinded by Yuan Shao.
Lu Kuang couldn't help but pinch his teeth, nodded and said: "There is still a chance now, we will lead the army to surround Wang Lei, as long as Wang Lei is blocked in Nanpi County and Wang Lei is captured, the lord will not only not blame, but will give a reward!" ”
The two brothers looked at each other, and they were both in high spirits.
This battle must be won.
The two led the army forward, and when they drove to a valley, they did not have any worries, and entered directly, the road in this place was about two zhang and six feet wide, and the valley road was deep and long, and it was impossible to see through at a glance, and the slopes on both sides of the valley road were three zhang high, and the highest place even reached six or seven zhang.
Wang Lei was still chasing Yuan Shao in Nanpi County, and the two had nothing to worry about.
The mountain road leading to Nanpi County is at the mouth of the valley, on the slope of the mountain.
Wang Lei hid here, he waited quietly, waiting for the arrival of the front army under Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, time passed, footsteps and chaotic words came, Wang Lei looked down and saw that soldiers came in the deep valley road.
Seeing this, Dian Wei immediately prepared to notify the rest of the people to do it.
Wang Lei stretched out his hand to stop it and motioned to Dian Wei not to move.
Slowly, after the first group of soldiers left the valley, and there were as many as five or six hundred soldiers leaving the valley, Wang Lei immediately ordered: "Brother, light the fireworks and send a signal!" ”
In an instant, Dian Wei immediately ignited the fire.
A fire broke out on the hillside at the exit, billowing smoke billowing into the air.
This is clearly visible throughout the valley.
"Whoa, whoa!!"
Arrows burst through the air and shot out of the valley from above.
From the entrance of the valley road to the exit of the valley road, there were soldiers under Wang Lei's command in ambush on both sides of the hillside, all the soldiers were armed with bows and arrows, aiming at the valley A burst of random shots, under the dense bow and arrow shooting, countless Yuan soldiers died under the arrows.
Lu Kuang was also in a hurry in the valley, his complexion changed greatly, the long knife danced, the knife light flickered, and the bows and arrows shot around were pushed away, Lu Kuang resisted the bow and arrows while rushing forward quickly, wanting to get out of the mountain road as soon as possible.
Lu Xiang did the same, and quickly fled behind Lu Kuang.
The two of them felt inexplicable in their hearts, how could the army suddenly encounter an attack.
According to reason, Wang Lei's army is still chasing Yuan Shao, the two of them can't figure it out, and there is no extra time for the two to think about it right now, the dense bows and arrows make the two tired of coping, and the soldiers under their command are falling in the valley one by one.
The arrows were merciless, with countless casualties.
At the exit of the valley, the soldiers who rushed out breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment, the soldiers noticed something unusual.
"Boom,!"
A deafening sound was heard, and the ground began to shake.
In an instant, the soldier's expression changed drastically.
In the eye, a cavalry rushed out in front of the official road at the exit, the number of this group of cavalry was not much, only a few hundred people, but now the army was attacked, the army was in chaos, and the soldiers who rushed out were difficult to resist.
Seeing the cavalry rushing towards them, the soldiers who had left the valley fled in all directions.
After a while, the cavalry caught up with the fleeing soldiers, and the horses crashed into the bodies of the fleeing soldiers, and the bones snapped and broke, and the soldiers were directly knocked unconscious; The big knife slashed, the cold cold light flashed, the sharp blade cut the skin on the neck, blood splattered, and the fleeing soldiers were killed instantly; The spear stabbed out, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced into the back of the Yuan soldier, piercing through the chest, and the bloody hole was chilling......
The battlefield outside the mouth of the valley was a completely one-sided slaughter.
The soldiers under the command of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang all became lambs to be slaughtered, and after the two brothers rushed out of the valley, they were injured a lot, and they were resentful when they saw the soldiers under their command being slaughtered.
But the situation was corrupt, and the two of them could not be delayed, so they directly led the army to break through.
The two escaped, and someone in the cavalry had already targeted them.
A white horse rushed over, a white figure roared in, and a big iron spear stabbed out, heading straight for Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang was shocked and hurriedly waved his knife to resist.
The moment the weapons collided with each other, the iron spear swept towards Lu Xiang again with the help of the power of the rebound, and with a snap, it hit Lu Xiang's waist, directly beating Lu Xiang off the horse, and immediately, he was caught by the soldiers, Lu Kuang was so frightened that he didn't dare to rescue, and hurriedly rode his horse to escape, but he didn't get rid of Tai Shici's big gun, was knocked off the horse, and then was caught.
The two brothers were arrested one after another.
The Lord was captured, and the soldiers of the Yuan army were even more in disarray, either fleeing in all directions, or hurriedly surrendering.
This ambush became very simple because of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's carelessness, the battle was over, the soldiers under Wang Lei had almost no losses, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang had a dejected look, and were escorted to Wang Lei's side by the soldiers.
Not long ago, the two were still leading the army, but now they have become prisoners.
