Southeast of Wuguan.

……

Wei Yue's 50,000 foot soldiers have been busy for two days in a row, installing barricades, digging traps, opening trenches, setting up spurs, building deer barricades, and moving boulders.

In two days, it will be difficult to move an inch within ten miles of the mouth.

Wei Yue knew that these 50,000 foot soldiers were just people who put on the armor of the Qin army and took bows and arrows, and their combat power could be imagined.

Because of this, it is necessary to make good use of the dangerous place that occupies the Usuguchi. Only in this way can we defeat the coalition army at the mouth of the Usu and raise the prestige of the Qin army.

Wei Yue knew Wang Ben's pressure, and it could be said that it was difficult and dangerous to use 40,000 elite iron cavalry against Xiang Yu's 150,000 Chu army.

Therefore, he must win a big victory, and then lead his army to support Wang Ben.

……

However, Wei Yue knew better that the 300,000 princes coalition army, except for the main force of the Chu army, the rest of the army was just the people who had just put down their farm tools.

At this moment, the Kanto anti-thieves came with a tyrannical atmosphere, and the old Qin people were in danger of ruining the country and their families, and the gap between the two was not big in terms of momentum.

As long as the battlefield is arranged in advance, he is confident that he will fight here and win.

……

Mortar.

The mountains are hollow and shaped like big pits. According to Wei Yue's observations, this mouth is the entrance to a small basin in the Danshui River Valley, and there are two hills sandwiched between them.

The avenue into Wuguan is just passing through the center of the Usu, and the Danshui also flows out from the Usukou and goes straight to the southeast into the Han River, and the avenue into Wuguan runs parallel to the water flow on the bank of the Danshui.

Crossing the Usukou to the northwest, you can reach Wuguan in one day, and you can go out of the Usukou in the southeast, and you can enter Nanyang County in one day.

It can be seen that the geographical environment of Usukou is unique, and it can be said that it is a battleground for soldiers.

……

"The army is light and simple, speed up!"

……

In order to travel lightly, Zang Di and Han Cheng left all the bulky chariots and old and weak soldiers in the coalition camp, leaving only 40,000 elite mountain soldiers.

For Wuguan, Zang Di and Han Cheng didn't care too much, because Wuguan at this time was in Liu Ji's hands and belonged to their own people.

The army marched for a day, and finally at twilight, they waded through the water and entered the Danshui Valley Avenue in less than half an hour.

……

Zang Tu immediately rode the small hill on the side of the road, watched from afar, raised his whip and pointed to the faintly visible mountain pass in the distance, and said: "The front is the mouth of the mortar, the mountain here is depressed, like a big pit, whether it is the northwest into Wuguan, or the southeast out of the mountain, the mouth of the mortar is a must-pass place." ”

"This is an excellent place for ambushes, although Wuguan is in the hands of Pei Gong, our army must not be careless!"

Zang Di glanced at Han Cheng: "Order the army, a column of ten people, march through quickly, and must not stop." ”

"Yui!"

Sima next to him nodded in agreement, and the flying horse gave the order. Although Danshui Valley Avenue is an avenue, it is relative to business travel. For an army of 40,000, no matter how wide it is, it seems overcrowded.

"Drive!"

……

Riding out, Han Yan's army was reorganized into columns, and they all brushed towards the mountain pass.

……

"General, Han Yan's army is coming, and it is only three arrows away from the mouth of the mortar!"

Wei Yue shook his head, his eyes became even colder: "Don't be in a hurry, at this moment, our army is attacking, traps, obstacles will have no effect, and it will definitely lead to heavy casualties in our army." ”

"Yes."

……

"Boom ——!"

Suddenly, the rumbling continued, the former soldiers turned over on their horses, the soldiers were in an uproar, and the people shouted and neighed.

"What's going on!"

Zang Di, who was looking at the top of the mountain, was shocked, exclaimed, and rode down the mountain and rushed towards the front army. When he looked at it, his face suddenly turned pale.

Several huge pits lay black in front of you, struggling with panicked soldiers and wounded neighing horses.

Although the pit is not deep, the bottom of the pit is lined with sharpened bamboo spears, the soldiers and horses in the pit are covered in blood, and the soldiers on the road are panicking and shouting.

For a while, I was at a loss.

……

Zang Tu shouted loudly: "Light the torches, the front army rescues people, and the guerrilla scouts go forward to explore the way!" A team of 1,000 people went up the mountain, pushed the big stone rolling road, and found the pit! ”

"Yui!"

As the military order was issued, the armies were busy, and large torches lit up the entire mountain range. In a matter of moments, a rumbling sound resounded throughout the Usukou River Valley.

"Report to the general, the road ahead of the mortar has been proven, and there is no more pit!"

……

At this time, Zang Di was already suspicious in his heart, and he was ready to withdraw the army, and he would cross the mortar again at dawn tomorrow. At this moment, when he heard that there was no more trapping, he gritted his teeth and ordered.

"The army is purged, and immediately pass through the mortar!"

……

There is a way to seek wealth and danger, but often sometimes, death is also sought in danger.

"Yui."

……

Under the light of a large number of torches on the side of the mountain, Han Yan's army team rumbled forward, trying to pass through the mortars as fast as possible, and after a while, the front team entered the mountain pass.

"Kill!"

At that moment, the shouts of landslides and cracks came from the mountains on both sides, and Wei Yue pointed the long sword in his hand forward, his expression extremely solemn.

"Boom, boom, boom——!"

The arrows on both sides of the mountains were like rain, shooting rapidly, and the big stones broke through the air, dull as thunder. There was a scream mixed with the rumble, which was overwhelmingly suppressed.

Han Yan's army was caught off guard, and before he had time to react, he was shot and killed by a rain of rocks and arrows. The rear army was continuing to pour in, and for a while, it was crowded and trampled on itself.

"Spearman, strike!"

……

Wei Yue shouted, "Woo——! A bull's horn resounded through the valley, and a large number of black armor soldiers roared out with their shiny spears.

……

At this moment, Zang Di also suddenly woke up, remembering that none of the pathfinder guerrilla scouts sent had returned, and he knew in his heart that he had been tricked.

"The rear team turns around and withdraws from the mortar!" It was impossible to reach Wuguan as soon as possible, Zang Di yelled.

When Han Yan's army heard the order, he immediately retreated backwards, and for a while, he withdrew from the mortar. Rao is like this, and the 3,000 men and horses in the valley mouth have also been outflanked, and there is no return.

"General, the coalition forces have retreated!"

Wei Yue frowned, and waved his left hand: "Immediately return to the defense and give up chasing the coalition army." ”

"Yes."

……

"General, the Qin army didn't kill!"

As soon as Han Yan's army retreated, the Qin army in the valley mouth did not come out. Zang Di's mind was smart, and he knew that at this moment, the Qin army had an absolute advantage.

Han Yan's army panicked, and it was the best time to kill the killer.

The thought flickered in his heart, and Zang Di immediately thought that this must be the Qin army in order to prevent himself from joining the army of Wuguan Peigong, and he wanted to set up an ambush here and wait for reinforcements.

Zang Tu was not born with the temperament to fight a tough battle, he would fight if he could fight, and retreat if he couldn't, which has always been his way of using soldiers. What's more, this army is his capital.

Once all of them are lost here, he will have no capital to gain a foothold in troubled times. Zang Di is also an ambitious person, so he is naturally reluctant to attack the mortar.

Thinking about it properly, Zang Di categorically ordered: "The rear team will change to the front team, extinguish the torches, and quietly withdraw the army!" ”

"Yui!"

At the sound of an order, thousands of torches were suddenly extinguished, and Han Yan's army hurriedly withdrew backwards.
