Now that he had found out the area where the opponent's archers were ambushed, Wang Yuan's first thought was to make the opponent's archers ambush a fictitious one, and what really made Wang Yuan feel troubled was the two thousand Xi cavalry outside the valley mouth in the north. They're the real roadblockers.

If you want to get out of Jiming Mountain in the north and turn west into Yunzhou to escape according to the original strategy, you can only break through the Jiming Mountain Canyon, and the premise is to design and eliminate the roadblocks in front of you.

The plan of the Xi people was a little straightforward, and after hearing the formation of the archers and cavalry of the opposing party that Gongsun Lan had discovered, Wang Yuan basically guessed what they wanted to do. Very simply, the Xi people just had to wait for Wang Yuan to lead the team into the ambush range, and after the archers condescended to kill wildly, Wang Yuan's soldiers and horses would be killed and wounded. At that time, the Taniguchi cavalry rushed into the valley for the final kill.

And what Wang Yuan has to do now is to do the opposite, forcing the cavalry of Taniguchi to rush in and ambush him, which will have a surprising effect. In order to do this, in addition to having an archer in ambush, the most important thing is to lure the opponent into your own ambush circle in the valley.

And to do this, you need to understand the psychology and tactics of the Xi people, and after the button is pressed, the Xi people in Taniguchi will obediently roll in. Under the premise that the other party did not know that the plan had been exposed, the success of this design was very likely, so Wang Yuan decided to give it a try.

Gongsun Lan and Qing Yun'er climbed the west side of the ledge in the process of quite dangerous, the stones on the mountain wall were seriously weathered, the two of them were in distress in the process of climbing, almost slipped, scared Wang Yuan was covered in cold sweat, but in the end the two of them still climbed the ledge. The group of men below were all embarrassed, if it weren't for these two women, no one would be able to climb the ledge in the middle of the cliff, and Wang Yuan's plan would be impossible to talk about.

There is no shortage of ropes, and there are more than a dozen long ropes in the accompanying materials, which are necessary things, which are used for building bridges and crossing streams during the march, rescue and lashing. After Gongsun Lan and Qing Yun'er dragged up a few big men with ropes, the rest of the soldiers were dragged up by these big men one by one. After more than half an hour, more than a dozen ropes dragged up to more than a hundred archers, filling the ledge above.

The preparations below were also going on at the same time, and when Wang Yuan ordered the armor to be propped up with pine branches and become like a human figure tied to a war horse, many people had already guessed what Wang Yuan was going to do.

"Teacher, it's really wonderful to use these fake soldiers and horses to attract the archers on the top of the cliff to shoot arrows." Liu Jun praised.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "If we don't fight in the valley, we won't suffer heavy losses, and the soldiers and horses of the Xi tribe in the valley won't rush in to clean up the mess." But this is not enough, once the opposing army rushes in, they will find out that they have been deceived, and they may suspect our motives, and at this time it is necessary to have a group of soldiers and horses swaggering in front of them, pretending to be frightened and retreating, and they will surely catch up. This team of people is very important, and the play must be very similar. I'm thinking about a lure for the enemy. ”

Liu Jun straightened his chest and said, "Then you still need to say?" I have to be. ”

Wang Yuan said: "This is not to win the battle, but to defeat the battle, if the performance is not realistic enough, they will not chase over, and they will not enter our ambush circle." ”

Liu Jun said solemnly: "I know that soldiers are not tired of cheating, this is a trick to defeat, I will take my two hundred people to do it." I let my soldiers and horses be killed by them, will the Xi people still be suspicious? It's called a bitter meat trick. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "You can't be too big, you can play a bitter meat trick, but don't hurt too many people, our strength is already limited." In addition, you must pay attention to your own safety, if you make a mistake, your mother will kill me. ”

Liu Jun smiled and said, "Is the teacher most afraid of my mother?" Don't be afraid, I know it. Teacher, the big war is coming, I should be nervous, but for some reason I am looking forward to it now, very excited, and not afraid at all. What's going on? ”

Wang Yuan patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "You will become a real general, you were born to lead troops into battle, this is probably your fate." ”

An hour later, all the preparations were completed, Liu Jun led two hundred cavalry to mount at the same time, and more than a hundred war horses with dummies standing on the saddle were pulled and clamped in the middle of the ranks. Wang Yuan stood on the ground with his hands and looked at Liu Jun, his face full of smiles, hiding the tension in his heart. I can't follow him, and everything after that can only rely on Liu Jun's own coping.

Liu Jun was wearing the Mingguang armor specially tailored when he was in Chang'an, with a long sword hanging from his waist, riding a white horse in front of the team, although he was not large, he was also majestic.

"Teacher, I'm going." Liu Jun arched his hand, the armor scales on his arms rubbed against the armor between his chest and ribs, making a piercing grinding sound, cold and calm.

"Go, wait for your return." For the first time, Wang Yuan officially surrendered to Liu Jun and gave him adult-like treatment.

Liu Jun turned around, raised his arm and waved forward and shouted, "Let's go." ”

More than 300 real and false cavalry began to slowly march into the valley, and after a while, they entered the range of local sentinels, the branches on both sides of the cliff swayed, and the enemy soldiers quickly transmitted the message with signals unknown to the outside world. A moment later, the more than 1,000 Xi archers who were ambushed on the cliffs on both sides of the narrow canyon three miles ahead immediately bent their bows and arrows and entered a battle state.

The three hundred cavalry began to speed up a few miles away from the range of the bow and arrow, and Liu Jun gave an order, and all the horses carrying the fake cavalry were stabbed in the buttocks, and these horses immediately rushed to the front of the line like crazy, and quickly rushed into the range of the archers.

A long horn sounded slowly from the cliff, echoing throughout the valley, and at the same time, the feathered arrows above the cliff fell from the sky like locusts, and a rain of arrows covered a large area dozens of paces long. Dozens of horses became hedgehogs almost at the same time, and they neighed with great inertia and fell to the ground, bringing up smoke and dust along the way. Almost instantly, the canyon that had been a clear sight became a land of billowing yellow dust, obscuring everyone's vision.

The Xi archers on the top of the cliff couldn't see the bottom of the valley, but they didn't need to see the situation below clearly, they just needed to keep shooting arrows at the bottom of the valley. The mourning and neighing of the horses before they died came straight from the valley floor, and as long as such a sound came up, it was a sign that the attack was effective.

More than half of the more than 100 war horses carrying dummies were only half of them after rushing through fifty paces, and the dense rain of arrows almost had no dead ends, leaving them with no chance of survival. At the same time, high on the side of the cliff, a wisp of black smoke rose into the sky, and it was the archers who informed the Xi warriors at the mouth of the valley that the battle in the valley had begun.

On the wide barren grassland outside the valley mouth, Yu Wenxiong was already fully armed and sitting on a horse with a scimitar in his hand, and the moment black smoke rose from the valley, Yu Wenxiong had already loudly ordered two thousand cavalry to prepare to rush into the valley. He deliberately delayed the tea time, just to let Wang Yuan and the others who entered the ambush circle suffer more baptism of arrows. In Yu Wenxiong's opinion, as long as he enters the ambush circle, to say that Wang Yuan only has a few hundred people with him, even if he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he will definitely be defeated in his own hands.

"Attack." Yu Wenxiong's scimitar in his hand was raised slightly, and a snow-white light and shadow illuminated his eyes. The strange shouts of his cavalry, as if they were chasing their prey in a high valley, were piercing and unpleasant.

"Oh Lu Lu ......" in the strange cry, dozens of Xi soldiers and horses have rushed into the valley, two thousand people are divided into five teams, each team of four hundred people, this is the Xi cavalry standard charge formation. But today, Yu Wenxiong didn't care that his subordinates did not charge according to the charging formation, he himself was infected by the emotions of his men rushing to the valley, and after the first group of more than 400 people rushed into the valley, he also rushed in according to the desire to kill.

During the tea time, the Xi archers on the top of the mountain shot all the twenty feather arrows in the large quiver. This kind of behavior is a luxury for them. Their barren homeland did not bring them much wealth, so their equipment was also shabby, for example, the thousand archers did not even have a single piece of iron on their bodies, and the standard armor was only qualified to be worn by the elite cavalry. Even the longbows and arrows they had to use would not have a chance to waste too much. But today, they shot coolly.

The sound of the horn was the signal to stop the archery, and the rumbling of hooves from the northern gorge indicated that the cavalry was rushing to kill, but the archers were not really interested, because there was already a dead land below, and this was clear without waiting for the yellow dust to disperse.

The corpses fell in the canyon, the blood gushing everywhere was still steaming, and the hooves of the charging Xi cavalry stepped on the cross-flowing blood, splashing small blood waves and bringing up red-stained sand.

When Yu Wenxiong arrived, one of his lieutenants was hurrying towards him on horseback.

"General Yuwen, something is wrong, these dead people seem to be fake." The lieutenant named Kuerhai shouted loudly.

Yu Wenxiong frowned, reached out and snatched a spear from a soldier's hand, and picked it at a corpse lying on the side of the road in a strange posture. With a loud bang, the corpse's helmet slanted to the side, revealing a round piece of pine.

"If it's really a dummy, such a cunning Tang man." Yu Wenxiong scolded endlessly, and was about to check forward, when he suddenly saw several horses galloping in front of him, and the first cavalry shouted loudly.

"Where is General Kuerhai? General Kuerhai. ”

"What's it called? Lao Tzu is here. Hu Erhai shouted and scolded.

Coming to gallop forward, the knight immediately said in a loud voice: "The front has found traces of enemy soldiers, and there is a fight with my front team, please give instructions from the general, is it to fight or withdraw?" ”

Before Hu Erhai could answer, Yu Wenxiong said in a loud voice: "Take me to see, it seems that the Tang people have not escaped, these dummies are just worried about the tricks set up by the ambush, as long as they are in the valley, they will not be allowed to escape." ”

After saying that, he rushed out, and suddenly Erhai hurriedly whipped and followed.
