Chapter 471: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
The plan has been decided, Zhang Liao immediately took a thousand guards to speed up the march, there are tiger teeth in front of the way, this section of the high ground on both sides is not easy to ambush, the danger is on the other side of the river, Zhang Liao simply let go of the speed.

After arriving at Mianmanshui far away, they found that Mianmanshui is about five or six zhang wide, on both sides are dense withered yellow reeds, the river is very deep, the ice is very thin, and there is even no ice in some places.
It is not possible to move north or south from the ice, and the roads on both sides of the river are extremely narrow and difficult to navigate, especially on snowy days.
The chirping of the golden eagle told Zhang Liao that there were indeed ambushes several miles away from the upstream and downstream, and there were quite a few of them, and as long as these ambushes were stuck in the north-south artery, it would be difficult to rush through.
On the other side of the river, there was a high cliff on the road, Zhang Liao looked through a telescope and faintly saw that someone seemed to be visiting on the high cliff.
Zhang Liao's heart sank, it seems that the enemy put the ambush point in the road after crossing the river, and then the rolling stones on the high cliffs on both sides fell, there was a blockade in front, and there were chasing soldiers from the upper and lower reaches of the river and the rear behind, and it was difficult for his own thousand people not to die.
At this time, Guo Jia pointed to a forest hundreds of steps north on this side of the river and said: "Lord, that forest is backed by a mountain cliff, if there is no ambush, it can be used as a place to hold on." ”
Zhang Liao immediately took a closer look with a telescope, and shook his head lightly with a heavy face: "There is no way there, there are ambushes, there are traps, and the upstream and downstream roads of the river are not good, there seem to be traps." ”
Snow is the easiest time to set traps, as long as you dig some small pits in the middle of the road, which resemble a horse trap, it is easy for people's legs and feet to slip into them and break bones, making it difficult to move.
Guo Jia's face became solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Lord, the lord of the ambush must be a person who is good at combat, not to be underestimated, the more life you have, the greater the crisis." ”
Zhang Liao nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Can you go back and kill him by surprise and go back to Taiyuan first?" ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Taiyuan is the main base camp, the enemy must have arranged a large number of soldiers and horses in the rear road, if there is a problem with the Montenegrin army, the pass of the ancient Great Wall where we come will inevitably be controlled by the enemy soldiers, and it will be difficult to retreat, and then we will only fall into a desperate situation." ”
Zhang Liao thought of the terrain in the area of Niangziguan, the road was rugged and narrow, half a mountain cliff and half a deep stream, and when he came, there were almost soldiers sliding into the deep stream, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, knowing that the way back would not work, and he would only fall into a desperate situation, and now he could only move forward!
The current situation is trembling, walking on thin ice, and one carelessness is an abyss.
Before the enemy launched, it seemed that everything was fine, but as long as the enemy was launched, it would definitely be a thunderous momentum, and he didn't think that Yuan Shao would send Yongcai over!
Is Koji? Chun Yuqiong? Yan Liang? Or is it Wen Chou?
It is more likely that Koji Yi and Chun Yuqiong are not easy to deal with, and at present, they can only find a trace of initiative in passivity, so that they can find a glimmer of life in the ten deaths.
At this time, Guo Jia suddenly pointed to a slightly open area on the other side of the Mianman River and said: "Lord, you can quickly cross the river to the other side of the river for a hundred steps, where the potential is higher than the north-south river, and the road is wider than the east-west road, which is convenient for forming a formation. ”
"Hiding from the world?" Zhang Liao looked at the place thoughtfully.
Guo Jia pointed to the high cliffs on both sides of the road on the opposite bank and said: "On the high cliff, although there are ambushes, they can only smash stones and rolling woods, and it is difficult to rush down the road to fight......
After a few moments, a thousand soldiers and horses quickly crossed the water and set up camp on the other side of the river, a hundred paces ahead to the east of the crossing, a wooden bridge to the back, and a slightly narrower riverside path to the north and south.
Zhang Liao glanced at the Quartet and shouted loudly: "Rest for half an hour, feed the horses!" Open the stove! After eating and drinking, I rushed to Jingcheng County in one go! ”
"Order!" The guards had already learned the order, and they shouted in unison, and the sound spread far away.
After setting up camp, the guards found dry reeds from the side of the river, and the scouts mixed in, and found that there were indeed traps on the riverside path to the south and north, which were covered with snow, difficult to detect and dodge, and I didn't know how long, so they immediately cut off Zhang Liao's thoughts of going south and north.
Soon, the camp was heated by a stove and wisps of smoke were rising.
In the military tent, Zhang Liao ordered the messenger soldiers accompanying him to release carrier pigeons as soon as possible and asked Taiyuan for help.
Zhang Liao then used a telescope to observe the nearby terrain and found that the high cliff in the north was steep, making it difficult to climb from here, but there seemed to be a trail hundreds of steps away on the south side that could climb the high cliff.
He immediately ordered the soldiers to cut several military tents, and let Shi Ah wrap himself around with two hundred striking brakes and tigers, ready to act.
Then Zhang Liao shouted to make the 800 soldiers feel comfortable, walked back and forth outside the camp, warmed up with each other, shouted and shouted, made movements, and attracted the attention of the enemy, while Shi A and the others took the opportunity to climb secretly from one side with a crossbow, wrapped in a white cloth, and took advantage of the snow color.
The two hundred of them were led by the tiger's teeth, and the tiger's teeth were also wrapped in a white cloth, and they could not be seen in the snow.
After the action of the two hundred elites, Zhang Liao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the enemy on the high cliff really didn't move.
Now that they are not far from the Shan Dao, the distance is delicate, and most of the enemies will wait patiently for them to enter the ambush circle, and this waiting time is exactly half an hour that Zhang Liao shouted just now.
The time of this half hour is also very delicate, it was agreed between him and Guo Jia, it is not enough, and it is easy to arouse the enemy's suspicion or loss of patience when it is long, and take the initiative to attack.
The guards did not panic, and under the cover of the big tent, they calmly unsaddled their horses, stuffed the soil, and secretly arranged defenses, and they also had to guard against a sudden attack by the enemy in advance.
Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't know that it was his composure that infected the guards.
At this time, Guo Jia pointed to the wooden bridge behind him and said: "Secretly loosen this bridge first, if the enemy in the rear chases, there are many of them, then this bridge will be broken, and the enemy soldiers can be blocked all the way." ”
Zhang Liao's eyes lit up, and he understood the beauty of Guo Jia's choice of this place.
The back road is likely to be the enemy's strongest force, and if you stop them, you will have a chance to find a chance to find a chance to survive!
……
The high cliffs on both sides of the east road are more than 20 zhang high, as if being split by a giant axe from it, the lower road is narrow, but the zhang is slightly wide, and the upper end is five or six zhang apart.
On the high cliff, there are 500 soldiers and horses in ambush, most of them are wrapped in yellow scarves, and they are the betrayed Montenegrin army, in addition to the Montenegrin army, there are a few and half of Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses.
The edge of the cliff is full of rocks and rolling logs, ready to be smashed.
However, it was cold and windy on the cliff, and these soldiers set up several simple tents, most of them hid in tents, and only a few sentries took turns outside to observe the movements of Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses.
In the high cliff tent in the south, a big man and the soldiers were drinking to keep out the cold, this person was one of the leaders of the Black Mountain who Zhang Liao stayed behind at the beginning, Du Chang, who was also Zhang Yan's cronies, originally assisted Chu Ding in guarding Jingcheng Road, but now he ambushed Zhang Liao in turn.
"Zhang Liaoke has come over?" Du Chang asked a sentry who had just returned from his turn.
The sentry said, "They camped on the east bank of the Mianman River, and listened to their shouts that they should rest for half an hour and feed the horses and open the stove." ”
"Good!" Du Chang nodded, and his eyes flashed: "We originally occupied Taihang Mountain, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, looting for a living, how comfortable and happy, I don't want to be ruined by that Zhang Liao, let me wait to farm, hum!" Wait another half an hour, once Zhang Liao enters the road, he will push down all the rolling stones and sassalwoods, and smash him into meat paste! ”
A Montenegrin soldier said: "If we don't kill him, what should we do?" ”
Du Chang sneered: "This time Yuan Shao united with Wu Huan, and even sent Lu Yi, plus us, there are 20,000 horses on all sides, and the rear is the most, it is Li Yi who personally leads, I heard that the front Jing Pass has also been arranged with heavy troops, this time Zhang Liao is difficult to fly, even if he passes our pass, it is still ten deaths!" However, he has to get past us first. ”
"What about General Feiyan?" Another Montenegrin soldier suddenly asked.
"As long as Zhang Liao is dead, General Feiyan will naturally be saved." Du Chang squinted his eyes and said hesitantly: "This time it can be said that Zhang Liao will be killed, I thought that he would bring at least 5,000 soldiers and horses, but I didn't expect that he only brought more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shao arranged 20,000 people to ambush him, which is really a knife to slaughter chickens!" ”
There are also tents on the high cliffs in the north, but the guards are not in the tents, and they are personally observing the enemy's situation outside, and this guard is Lu Kuang under Yuan Shao.
At this time, Lu Kuang was observing Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses on the high cliff, although he couldn't see clearly through the flying snow, his eyes were still full of resentment.
At the beginning in Hanoi, it was Zhang Liao who killed his brother Lu Xiang, and he and Zhang Liao had a deep enmity like the sea.
He took a deep breath when the wind and ordered a personal guard beside him: "Inform the Wuhuan people that in half an hour, attack from the river!" ”
In the wind and snow, neither Lu Kuang nor Du Chang found that under the cliff in the south, there were 200 people wearing white cloths, climbing up step by step, and would reach the rear of Du Chang and other Montenegrin rebels.
