Chapter 869: Blocking the Enemy
There was no ambush on the side of the road, but the army of Youzhou had already chosen a place, and after their scouts passed, the army passed through a part, and they relaxed their vigilance before rushing from a distance.
An attack doesn't hurt many people, but delaying the march is really real.
Xu Li had many ways to harass them.
There are obstacles set up on the side of the road, or there are suspicious formations.
There are also those who suddenly throw javelins from a distance.
At the same time, there are also traps or many large pits dug on the side of the road, so that their baggage cannot pass.
The effect of Xu Li and the others' attacks was obvious, and the speed of Xuzhou's soldiers and horses really slowed down.
After the team gathered again, Xu Li said happily: "These methods that the lord talked about before are really easy to use, using the terrain to give them multiple attacks, their speed is much slower. ”
"At the current pace of marching, we will be able to complete the mission."
Several people were very happy, they led the troops independently for the first time, and there was absolutely no room for error.
A few people assigned the task again, and then went to arrange.
Liang Yong endured a day's harassment and was furious.
When camping at night, Liang Yong continued to be harassed, but he arranged an ambush, and as soon as the raided soldiers came, he ordered them to be killed, and he chased them for dozens of miles before returning.
This time the effect was obvious, they were harassed twice in the whole night, and the soldiers could have a good rest.
The next day, Liang Yong was attacked again.
"Pass quickly, and the soldiers can be on alert for two miles." Liang Yong immediately responded, and he did not pursue this attack, nor did he let the enemy approach.
The effect is obvious, the method used before is useless, Liang Yong asked the army to guard the surrounding two or three miles, Xu Li and a few of them did not dare to attack, the result of the strong attack was that they could not stop the enemy, and they would lose a lot.
"I'm afraid the task given to us by the general will be difficult to complete, but I didn't expect that we couldn't complete the task when we led the troops out independently for the first time." Xu Li said with some frustration.
They calculated that they would delay it for two and a half days at most, and if there was a difference of half a day, Zhang Liao would not be able to complete the set plan.
When Xu Li and the others were helpless, an order came, asking Xu Li and them to make a detour behind the enemy's rear and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack.
It turned out that Zhang Liao had already made arrangements and had arranged for the deputy general to come with 30,000 people, and they found that Xu Li and others could not complete the task, so they set up an ambush in front.
Zhang Liao's lieutenant had already set up an ambush in the front, but the time was in a hurry, and there was no time to arrange it too complicated, but there were not many enemy troops, and one attack could achieve the goal.
Xu Li and the others were very happy when they found out, although they didn't complete the task, but in this way, at least they wouldn't delay things.
Xu Li and the others immediately made a big detour and made a detour to the rear of the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou.
This Liang Yong still marched quickly and the border on both sides.
This is a good solution, which can prevent the sneak attack of a small army.
The speed of the march was greatly accelerated, and Liang Yong was in a hurry to support Yuan Xi.
On the way, he also received a message from Yuan Xi, asking him to support him as soon as possible.
Although the soldiers and horses of Youzhou have now semi-surrounded them, they have not attacked.
First, Cao Cao suddenly killed him, his intentions were unknown, but he could also guess that he wanted to prevent Zhang Yu from obtaining Youzhou.
Second, Xuzhou soldiers and horses came to support.
Neither Tai Shici nor Zhang Liao touched Yuan Xi, which did not mean that he was safe.
Liang Yong moved forward quickly, and suddenly, he found that there was an enemy in front of him.
It was another 30,000 soldiers and horses in ambush, but Liang Yong judged that it was still a small army from before.
"Assault the whole army, break through, pay attention to both sides."
Liang Yong would judge it this way, that is, he thought that the army should prepare to besiege Yuan Xi, and the path they chose was to avoid the location of Zhang Liao's army.
Judging from his experience, Zhang Liao attacked two counties in a row, which required a large number of defensive soldiers and horses, and also needed to prevent Yuan Xi from counterattacking, so there must not be many troops that could be used.
The soldiers and horses of Xuzhou began to rush.
Zhang Liao's deputy general is Ye Long, who is also experienced in a hundred battles, and the ambush he arranged will naturally not be so simple.
"Assault, break through them."
"Prepare on both sides, break through their defenses, and carry out counter-killing."
Ye Long was ambushed in a place where there were dense forests on both sides, and the terrain was not dangerous.
If you don't find a suitable location, you can only arrange it like this.
But this arrangement is not without rules.
Liang Yong's army slaughtered the past, with a posture of onslaught.
"Kill."
Ye Long commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses to start killing, directly blocking the road, and defending with a shield array.
Their biggest purpose is to stop the enemy, not to annihilate many enemy troops.
The middle of the road was blocked, and they had to storm through.
However, the defense of Youzhou soldiers and horses is so strong.
"Watch both sides and send an army to kill it."
Liang Yong naturally did not ignore both sides, and sent 5,000 troops respectively, holding shields, and slowly slaughtered in.
If there is an ambush inside, then it can be blocked, and if there are not many people in the ambush, they will kill them and then surround them.
The plan is very good, if the ordinary army may fail in the ambush, but Liang Yong has experienced a hundred battles and has seen many wars, so it will naturally not be so simple.
Liang Yong's 10,000 soldiers and horses slaughtered on both sides, and began to encounter sporadic resistance, which verified Liang Yong's idea.
Liang Yong's soldiers and horses continued to go deeper, trying to bypass and attack the enemy troops blocking the road.
When they killed in the depths, Ye Long's ambush soldiers were exhausted, and there were many traps arranged in the dense forest, and they attacked the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou at once.
Suddenly more soldiers and horses appeared than expected, Liang Yong was also a little panicked, and hurriedly ordered the army to withdraw.
"The archers come forward to answer."
Liang Yong was still quite calm, knowing that there were many troops attacking them this time.
But it's okay, because the terrain here knows that the other party has an ambush, and the advantage that the other party occupies is not very big.
"I had to force my way through."
Liang Yong made up his mind, since the other party wanted to prevent them from going to support, there was only one way to break through.
Liang Yong began to arrange troops and horses, defending both sides while forcing into the front.
The army was killed, and fierce fighting broke out between the two sides.
And Ye Long's soldiers and horses placed on both sides also retreated after killing thousands of enemy soldiers, with no intention of attacking them at all.
Ye Long ordered the army to retreat while fighting.
After that, turn straight away.
Leave miles away at once.
"Hmph, you know that these tricks are nothing more than delaying us." Here was an ambush, the loss of thousands of soldiers and horses, not to mention, delayed them for at least three hours.
Liang Yong put his army in order and continued to advance.
After marching for several miles, the enemy army was again found in front, but this time there was no ambush, but an obstacle was set up directly in the middle of the road, and 10,000 troops blocked it.
The 10,000 army was not the 10,000 army just now, but the army that had been ambushed on both sides of the forest before, and after they retreated, they set up another ambush in the rear.
