After Li Chengding made the decision to ambush the enemy army, he immediately sent someone back to Xinzhou to pass on the latest news he had received, and on the other hand, he quickly began to prepare for the ambush of the enemy army.

From Jianyang to Jianzhou, the terrain on this road is relatively steep, and many places will pass through jungles, so it is relatively easy to find a place to ambush the enemy army.

The only thing to worry about is that the enemy army is more familiar with the local terrain after all, and no one knows whether the enemy army will deliberately take a small path in order to march covertly.

If the enemy takes a path, then their ambush will be in vain.

So Li Chengding quickly summoned the Jianyang guards who surrendered to them and asked him if there were any small roads in the local area.

"The general is talking about the path from Jianzhou to Jianyang? This is naturally there, but this road is more dangerous than the main road, and most people will not take this road. If the enemy knows this path, they will also know that this path is not easy to follow. Therefore, the last general thought that even if the enemy army came to raid, he would not choose to take this path! ”

The general's name was Liu Kuixi, a native of Jianyang, and he was extremely familiar with the terrain here.

After taking refuge in Wu Jun, he naturally thought about Wu Jun wholeheartedly.

Li Chengding couldn't help frowning after hearing this, if this was the case, it would be difficult to judge which way the enemy would come.

They did not know who the enemy's commander was, nor how many troops would be sent, and it was extremely difficult to make a judgment.

But then, Li Chengding laughed again.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for the enemy to send all 20,000 men, at most part of them, to a surprise attack.

In this way, as long as the guards of Jianyang are done well and there are enough garrison forces, then even if they fail to ambush the enemy army, there will be no bad consequences.

In other words, they don't have any worries.

Thinking of this, Li Chengding decided to set up the ambush point on the path.

In this way, if the enemy army takes a small road, it will naturally be ambushed by them; If the enemy takes the main road, avoids their ambush, and arrives at the city of Jianyang, they can also quickly return and join up with the defenders of the city to flank the enemy.

In short, this arrangement is only good and harmless.

Soon, Li Chengding left 1,000 men to defend the city with the defenders of Jianyang, who had surrendered them, and he himself personally led the remaining 2,000 Wu troops to set up an ambush along the path.

Not long after Li Chengding and the others were ready for an ambush, an army of 5,000 people rushed along the path towards Jianyang.

This army was personally led by Wang Yanyu, and after they took control of the situation in Jianzhou, they quickly attacked, wanting to raid Jianyang as quickly as possible.

In order to ensure that the situation in Jianzhou would not go wrong after they left, Wang Yanyu ordered Chen Tao and other generals who were still loyal to Wang Zhenzhi to be executed before leaving, and those who had defected to him were forced to be executed.

Through this method of immediate submission, the control of the state was finally roughly guaranteed.

"General, Jianyang is not far ahead, presumably the enemy army should have no defense against the arrival of our army, but I don't know if Wu Jun's vigilance will be as bad as Chen Tao's?" After stretching out his hand to open a branch for Wang Yanyu, Deputy General Chen Ming asked with a relaxed face.

The trail is not wide, and in many places only two or three people can walk side by side, and the trees are too dense for horses to walk here.

"Wu Jun? It shouldn't be as easy to deal with as Chen Tao, right? Wang Yanyu frowned and said.

After successfully taking control of Jianzhou, Wang Yanyu immediately began to call himself the history of Jianzhou in accordance with the previous agreement with Wang Yanjun.

However, compared with the title of "Wang Envoy", Wang Yanyu is more willing for others to call him a general.

Victory on the battlefield is always the best way to boost morale, and when the troops were dispatched from Fuzhou, Wang Yanyu's subordinates all looked solemn, not knowing what the future would be.

However, after the successful raid on Jianzhou, the morale of the generals suddenly improved a lot, and many people began to seriously think about the possibility of raiding the Wu army.

It is said how powerful Wu Jun is, but everyone is the same person, they all eat the same meal, and say the same thing, before they have really seen the strength of Wu Jun, how many people will really believe it? At most, they felt that Wu Jun was just a little stronger than them.

At least that's what Wang Yanyu and the deputy general Chen Ming in front of him think, otherwise they wouldn't have the idea and courage to challenge Wu Jun.

"Maybe the Wu army is stronger, but as long as our army's surprise attack is successful, there is still a chance to defeat them!" Wang Yanyu said softly, and then he said with a little worry: "Okay, let's wait until later to deal with Wu Jun!" A few days ago, when our army attacked Jianzhou, we let some of the routs escape from the chaos, and I don't know if it will make Jianyang prepared. ”

"The general can rest assured that the few defeated soldiers who escaped may not necessarily come to Jianyang, maybe they went home directly and became deserters?" Chen Ming said with a smile.

"I hope so!" Wang Yanyu sighed: "But this time to raid Jianyang, the generals must be cautious, and no similar thing must happen again!" If anyone makes a mistake, they will not be spared! ”

He wasn't worried much about Jianyang's side, but what he was worried about was whether Wu Jun would get the news and be prepared.

If there is no chance of a surprise attack, then they have little chance of defeating the Wu army.

"General rest assured, the last general and others will guarantee that there will be no mistakes this time!" The other generals hurriedly assured.

Wang Yanyu nodded, and was about to say something more, but at this time, Chen Ming suddenly shouted: "General, be careful!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Ming violently pushed Wang Yanyu away.

Wang Yanyu hadn't reacted to what had happened, but the sound of bows and crossbows and shouts of killing from everywhere made him break out in a cold sweat.

"Shoot the arrows with all your might!"

"Kill!"

……

All kinds of shouts shook the woods, and arrows flew everywhere, making a "doo" sound when they hit the trunks.

The flocks of frightened birds flew up one after another, and did not dare to land around the trees.

More than half of the Jianzhou army was only temporarily defected to Wang Yanyu, not only was the morale low, but the command system was not integrated, so there was chaos at this time.

Only the part of the army that Wang Yanyu brought from Fuzhou was still relatively calm, able to maintain the position and launch a counterattack against the enemy with bows and crossbows.

It's just that the strength of this counterattack is still a little light, and it cannot be compared with the enemy's attack strength at all.

Wang Yanyu didn't know that it was the Wu army led by Li Chengding who ambushed them, and thought that it was just a few routs who fled a few days ago who told the news to the Jianyang defenders, and the Jianyang defenders ambushed them here after getting the news, so although he was surprised in his heart, he was not too worried.

The total strength of the defenders of Jianyang is only 3,000 people, and after leaving a part of the city to defend the city, at most 2,000 people can come to ambush them, and they still have hope of breaking out of the siege with this amount of strength.

"Rest assured, the enemy army is not many, and the brothers will be able to break through the enemy ambush if they charge with the general!"

Wang Yanyu calmed down, and after observing the surrounding situation, he picked out a direction in which he felt that the enemy army had fewer troops, and shouted loudly to the part of the soldiers he brought from Fuzhou.

He was originally a brave general, so he was favored by Wang Zhenzhi and accepted as a righteous son, and now he is ambushed and the situation is dangerous, so Wang Yanyu also let go and took the lead in attacking the enemy.

Encouraged by him, the morale of his descendants was greatly boosted, and they quickly followed Wang Yanyu to attack the enemy army.

It's a pity that Wang Yanyu didn't know that the enemy he was facing was not the Jianyang defenders, but the elite of the Wu Forbidden Army, which was much stronger than them.

When they charged at the Wu army, the charge that seemed to them to be enough to break through any line of defense was nothing more than that in the eyes of the Wu soldiers.

Behind the woods, Li Chengding watched the performance of the enemy army and kept giving orders.

Under his command, 2,000 Wu soldiers displayed great combat effectiveness, strengthening the defenses of the enemy's onslaught while quickly adjusting and preparing to counterattack the enemy from the flank.

Only a quarter of an hour later, whether it was Wang Yanyu or the other generals, they all felt that the enemy army on the opposite side was not easy to mess with.

Not to mention that the defense of the frontal enemy army was constantly strengthening, and the pressure from the flanks was increasing, all of which made Wang Yanyu and the others feel frightened.

What made them even more shocked was that when the two sides got closer, the generals began to notice that the accent of the enemy troops on the opposite side was not the Fujian accent they were familiar with, but the accent from Jianghuai, Liangzhejiang and other places, which was quite different from the Fujian accent.

"They are not the defenders of Jianyang, they are the Wu army!" Chen Ming said to Wang Yan with some horror.

Wang Yanyu's face was full of bitterness, and he naturally understood at this time.

"Turn around, break through in the direction you came from, and if you can escape, one is one! This is the jungle, and it's impossible for the enemy to wipe us all out! ”

After confirming that the enemy army on the opposite side was the Wu army, Wang Yanyu didn't know how the Wu army came here, let alone how many troops the Wu army was, he only knew that the direction of their current breakthrough was obviously impossible to break through, and they had to change the direction.
