Zhao Yun and Guan Ping received the order and led the army to send troops, and at this time, only Zhuge Liang and Pei Yuanshao were left in Dingjun Mountain.

Of course, there was originally another Huo Jun's.

However, since Huo Jun is good at defense, how can Zhuge Liang not make the best use of his talents?

Even if there is Zhao Yun and their interception, it is just to delay the enemy's advance speed and consume the enemy's morale and materials, Zhong Xuan and Ma Teng will march to the foot of Dingjun Mountain sooner or later.

Historically, it has been impossible to destroy the invading enemy in the mountain path of the slope.

When the enemy can't defeat you, you can always hold on to a steep place, right?

Besides, the enemy army is large and fierce, and there is a brave new force to march to the foot of Dingjun Mountain, which is sooner or later.

At that time, it was the battle for and defense of Dingjun Mountain.

Huo Jun was good at defense, and at this time, he was just in time to arrange the defense of Dingjun Mountain.

Although Zhuge Liang is known as a wise and close demon, (well, the visitors of later generations have mixed feelings about this title), but he does not dare to say that he is good at defense. Therefore, after handing over the defense of Dingjun Mountain to Huo Jun, Zhuge Liang no longer interfered except for asking.

Anyway, now these generals under Uncle Liu Huang, except for the Yang brothers, he Zhuge Liang can trust everyone else.

……

Ma Yi, plank road, Ma Chao looked at the plank road under his feet with novelty and some concern.

As a Xiliang horse, Ma Chao fought all over Xiliang invincible, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command was also quite brave, but he had never seen a plank road built on a cliff. This plank road, Ma Chao is the first time to see it.

Therefore, Ma Chao is very curious about the plank road.

Of course, for the plank road, Ma Chao also doesn't trust its sense of security.

The plank road is mostly built on the cliff, and the lowest place from the ground is also three or five zhang high, if the wood supporting the plank road is suddenly broken, the people and horses fall down and become meat mud?

Besides, even if these plank roads will not be broken for no reason, it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy will not come to destroy the plank road, right?

Anyway, if he Ma Chao was an enemy general, he would not let go of the opportunity to destroy the plank road.

"The whole army is careful, ride one by one across the plank road!" Ma Chao ordered loudly.

The plank road is actually not narrow, you can take the plank road of a small carriage, and it is no problem to walk two horses side by side.

However, for the sake of safety, and in order to minimize the loss in the event of an accident, Ma Chao let the three thousand riders under his command ride through the plank road one by one. If the plank road is suddenly broken, the loss will only be those few horses.

"Sentinel rider, go out three miles to explore the way!"

Looking up at the top of the mountain, Ma Chao ordered the sentry to climb the mountain to reconnoitre.

Ma Chao is not worried about someone blocking the plank road and sneaking up.

After all, the plank road is on the cliff, and you can see the entire situation on the plank road at a glance.

But isn't there a mountain top above the boardwalk?

If the enemy ambushes the army on the top of the mountain, wouldn't he, the vanguard army, be smashed into meat sauce?

Although he Ma Chao is brave and invincible, he does not have muscles in his brain!

……

At the top of the mountain, looking at the plank road halfway up the mountain, the enemy cavalry was winding hundreds of zhang, and Guan Ping was quite excited.

After defecting to Uncle Liu Huang, except for the battle in Hanzhong City, he Guan Ping did not have much credit. Even the credit for opening the city gate of Hanzhong City is also the credit of the joint efforts of several of their generals and those elites under their command, among which Wei Yan and Guan Ning have to account for the majority.

As a military general, how can you not care about your military exploits?

Wei Yan can now lead an army alone and garrison Jiameng Pass; Gan Ning is now also leading an army alone, and is training sailors somewhere in Hanshui; This is not only because the two of them are military generals in the Ning Gang Realm, but also because of the credit for opening Hanzhong City that night.

Today, he is still in the camp, and there are only 500 people in the headquarters.

Today, the troops were sent to ambush above the horse post plank road, and they were able to lead a thousand troops, which was still valued by the military advisor to him Guan Ping.

It is said that some time ago, after seizing Hanzhong, under the strong leadership of the lord and the military advisor, he Guan Ping finally worshiped Guan Yunchang as his father-in-law. The courage of his father-in-law Guan Yunchang, the Central Plains, especially the Hebei generation, is all passed down.

Therefore, worshipping Guan Yu as his father-in-law, Guan Ping is willing and convinced.

Since worshipping his father-in-law, during this time, Guan Ping has faintly felt that under the guidance of his father-in-law, his Guan Ping's martial arts and strength are still changing, and his strength is also faintly thinking about breaking through the Ning Gang Realm.

Of course, it's just a feeling.

If he wants to break through to the Ning Gang Realm, he Guan Ping still has a long way to go!

However, if this matter is done well today, his military rank can be promoted to another level, right?

In other words, the battalion can only lead 500 troops from the headquarters, and only the captain can lead an army alone. A group of 5,000 people can fight alone, or they can take charge of it alone. Wei Yan sat alone in Jiameng Pass, but he was envious of Guan Ping!

Just thinking about these beautiful things, the soldiers around him suddenly shouted: "General, the enemy has sent a sentry up the mountain!" ”

According to Uncle Liu's current military system, an officer at the battalion level can have a personal soldier.

When Guan Ping came out of Guanjiazhuang in Jizhou that day, he brought six people with him, all of whom were Ding Zhuang in the family, and they all became his personal soldiers at this time.

As a general, it is naturally best to use your own family as a personal soldier.

Following the instructions of his own soldiers, Guan Ping looked at the mountainside on the plank road, and sure enough, he saw more than a dozen sentries in the enemy army, climbing the cliff. This is a sentry used by the Jumper, who is very good at rock climbing.

"Sure enough, as expected, even if the enemy army is on the plank road, they will send out sentry swatches."

Guan Ping secretly said in his heart, sure enough.

In fact, this situation is common knowledge in the military. No matter if the general leads the army on the march, especially when he is about to approach the local territory, he will definitely release the sentinels, and the sentinels will also go forward for several miles, just to find out if there is any enemy in the surroundings.

Guan Ping is still a teenager, and now he has just joined the army, so this common sense is not very clear.

However, Zhuge Junshi is a military advisor, and he still has the experience and memory of his previous life, how can he ignore this.

……

The enemy army has sent sentry sentries, can Guan Ping still ambush them on the top of the mountain?

The answer is yes!

The enemy sent out sentries just to see if there was any invincibility at the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the sentinel can look out at the movement within dozens of miles. However, they still need to travel several miles for the army, and they have to maintain the speed of the march with the army, and advance over the mountains and mountains on the top of the mountain.

Therefore, it is impossible for these sentries to search every inch of grass and woods on the top of the mountain.

And this is the prerequisite for Guan Ping and them to continue to ambush.

Moreover, this wave of enemy vanguard is not his target, and after this vanguard passes, these sentry agents will almost go away, and the enemy army that follows them will inevitably not be platoon sentry scouts.

And the enemy's Chinese army is his target for Guan Ping.

The enemy army would definitely not have thought that the vanguard and sentinel in front had passed without incident, and he went to the Chinese army in an ambush?
