Chapter 64: The Valley Melee

Flying Fox Valley.

It is also known as Beikouyu, which is located about forty miles south of Wei County. In the meantime, the peaks are weird. The valley is tactful. Running north-south, the magic is complex, winding for forty miles, the narrowest point is only three or four meters, and the widest point is only 100 meters. It is a great location to set up a pass. This place communicates the north and south, the north is the desert outside the Saiwai, the grassland highland, and the south is a horse and a flat river, and the plains are vertical and horizontal. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers and a place for transportation.

Zhao Yong, Li Zhuo and others walked through this path, while appreciating the magic of nature, while drawing and compiling, and drawing shadows.

In fact, Feihuyu itself is one of the eight paths of Taihang, and like Jingcheng, it is an important passage through the Taihang Mountains. Not only that, here and Yanshan, Heng Mountain three mountains intersect, it is said that there are seventy-two bends, there are holes in the bends, it is really a natural danger place.

Zhao Yong is no stranger to this place, he liked to travel by car in his previous life, he once came here, from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, along the Beijing-Tibet Expressway straight ahead, through the Jiming Station, and then continue to go straight to a service area, to Wei County, and then to the south to reach here.

However, it was from north to south, and cars could not pass, I regretted it at the time, I did not expect that after I crossed over, I could ride a horse to cross this place from north to south, which shows all kinds of opportunities in the world, which is really strange.

"Your Majesty, we have been walking in the valley for two or three days, but we have not yet gone out, and if we continue like this, I am afraid that we will run out of food and fall into a desperate situation." Li Zhuo followed behind Zhao Yong, and his sudden interjection disrupted Zhao Yong's emotion, made him return to reality all of a sudden, and also made him understand that he could never go back to that era of cultural prosperity.

"Don't worry, you will be safe if you go north along this road." Zhao Yong said, "According to my estimates, it will take about an hour to reach Yukou." ”

"Why did you want to go north from here? If we go out of the mountains and go north along the river, wouldn't it be much easier to walk than here? Pang Nuan asked suspiciously. The two days and three nights of running made him a little prostration. Especially outside Luancheng County, Zhao Yong commanded the cavalry to send scouts to find the gaps in the encirclement of Zhongshan Kingdom, skillfully used the connection between the team and the team, and carried out an intersperse between the two reinforcements of Zhongshan Kingdom, presumably even the Zhongshan people themselves did not know when this cavalry left Luancheng. Then, they went north to the Hutuo River and headed northwest along the south bank, if it weren't for the patrol scouts at Jingcheng Pass who discovered them, it is estimated that Zhao Yong and they jumped out of the encirclement unknowingly, and no one would have found out.

"Flying Fox Valley is one of the eight trails of Taihang, and it is also an important trail for turbidity deer in the south. Knowing a little more about this place will help us in our next actions. Zhao Yong looked at the wonders of the mountains on both sides

"Oh." Pang Nuan didn't ask anymore, but just rode a horse and followed Zhao Yong. He is an extremely calm child, a little introverted, and has some talent for military affairs, but he is also quite obedient along the way, never asks more, but analyzes it himself after listening, which makes Zhao Yong like him very much.

Suddenly, just as everyone was riding comfortably, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and Zhao Yong even saw the rolled up smoke. Everyone in the team also realized the problem, and hurriedly organized defense, formed a circular formation, surrounded Zhao Yongtuan in the middle, and Li Zhuo took the lead and defended on the periphery.

This is a relatively wide road, and to be honest, if the cavalry meets, it really has a bit of a taste of who can defeat the opponent with the sword first. Therefore, Zhao Yong stared closely at the curve in front of him, if it was not his own people, he would not hesitate to order an attack and fight a bloody way.

And the battles in the past few days have also made you understand that your monarch is not like a monarch, but like a gambler, and the word reason is even an insult to Zhao Yong on the battlefield. So they also drew their weapons and prepared to attack.

The horse's hooves are sluggish, and they come with dust. The first thing Zhao Yong saw was a group of Hu soldiers, wearing the daily clothes of the Hu people, and they were still whistling in their mouths, greeting the Hu people behind them. They also seemed to have discovered Zhao Yong and them, and the whole team paused for a while, but they still didn't stop, roaring towards Zhao Yong and them.

Zhao Yong was obviously stunned when he saw the Hu soldiers, because Feihuyu was an important pass of Zhao State, and no matter how great the Hu people were, it was impossible to bypass the Wei County built at the mouth of Feihuyu and the defensive front formed by Daiwangcheng, unless one of these two cities was occupied.

However, time did not allow him to think too much, and the Hu people opened their bows and arrows one after another, and the target was his own people. And this side also reacted quickly, and the soldiers of Zhao who gathered in the defensive array also took out their bronze swords, and then used bows and arrows on such a short-distance charge, it was not as affordable as cutting into the opponent's formation.

Soon, the two teams collided, but the Hu people, who were laughing just now, soon found that they had encountered a hard stubble, for example, the other party was still very powerful in slashing on the horse.

Zhao Yongzhi didn't think too much, he saw a Hu man stabbing at him, and he blocked it with a sword without thinking about it, the other party seemed to be the leader of this team of Hu people, no matter how skilled he was right away, even the bow and arrow were very good. At a glance, he found that Zhao Yong, who was surrounded by heavy troops, had an extraordinary status and should be the leader of this cavalry, so his target was naturally locked on Zhao Yong.

How to crack the circular defensive array? It has always been the most troublesome problem for the Central Plains troops. As a matter of fact, the Central Plains military formation system, which is mainly composed of chariots and soldiers supplemented by infantry, particularly emphasizes the unity of the whole and requires that everyone must abide by the formation law and must not violate it. Therefore, if you want to crack the circular formation, there is no way to solve the circular formation. Moreover, in the era when chariots and soldiers were rampant, the fierce collision between chariots and chariots was precisely the distinctive feature of warfare in the Spring and Autumn Period.

With the advent of the Warring States Period, although the supremacy of the chariot soldiers was still unshakable, the infantry represented by Wei Wushu began to become the main force in the campaign. Sun Bin's siege of Wei and his rescue of Zhao made many generals deeply understand the essence of Sun Bin's tactical thinking of "attacking but not defending", and the admiration and play of Sun Wu's tactical theory of "winning by surprise". Behind these two tactical ideas is an important symbol that the tactical thinking with mobile operations as the core has stepped onto the stage of history.

Zhao Yong led the people of 100 gold, who had just practiced mobile warfare in the hinterland of Zhongshan, especially under his own Luancheng, he ran dozens of miles at night, mobilized Zhongshan to encircle himself, and then used the opponent's determination and his own speed advantage to jump out of the opponent's encirclement, so that he began to believe that through mobile combat, mobilizing and dividing the enemy's troop formation would be a key to breaking the circular defensive formation in the Central Plains.

Just like now, the Hu cavalry, under the leadership of the leader, constantly harassed his team with bows and arrows, and this kind of attack, the skill kills the enemy, and can attract the other party to besiege him, why not?

Zhao Yong saw that the hundred gold warriors he was proud of quickly messed up their formation because they were shot by the opponent's bow and arrow. Although the place they were in was not particularly spacious, it was enough to be surrounded by the opposing army.

"Get out of here and onto the trail!" Zhao Yong hurriedly commanded. Due to the spacious terrain, the enemy was able to smoothly carry out the encirclement, and although both sides were archers and horses, it would take a certain amount of time for him, a student, to provoke the teacher.

Due to road congestion, Zhao Jun wanted to pass through this section of the road, and sure enough, it would take a certain amount of time. But because the Zhao army not only had bows and arrows, but also short swords, when the two armies intersected, their own kung fu was highlighted. Especially with the help of stirrups to maintain balance, and without the help of stirrups, the Hu people have already decided the victory and defeat at the moment when the weapons of the two teams collide.

"Your Majesty, don't fall in love with war at this moment, and what's going on in the north, you and I don't know, should we leave quickly and continue to go north!" While protecting Zhao Yong, Li Zhuo looked at the pursued rear army and said to Zhao Yong.

"The terrain is long and narrow, and the other party may not pursue us, but they are worried that Feihuyu has been lost, and we will go like we are falling into a net!" Zhao Yong rode on the galloping horse, looked back at the Hu people who were chasing him, and said angrily: "What happened to Feihuyu?" If it is lost there, Li Yan and Zhao Xi are indispensable to blame! ”

When Li Zhuo heard the king talk about his eldest brother, he felt a sigh in his heart, and a cold sweat came down, thinking that sure enough, the heart of the king was unfathomable, and he originally thought that Zhao Yong was more kind, like his eldest brother. But now, he suddenly felt a little worried, was he too presumptuous before?

He couldn't think about it, and on the narrow path, a pursuit battle had begun. Zhao Jun galloped quickly, charging all the way forward, hoping to find an opportunity to counterattack quickly, and Hu Ren was also flying like a horse, occasionally a rain of arrows fired, so that Zhao Jun did not dare to slack off.

The leader of the Hu people looked at the pursuing Zhao Jun, and suddenly had some doubts: How did these people come to Feihuyu? If I hadn't received an order to come here to inspect it, I'm afraid I would have let this group of people sneak into the mountain pass and then attack the pass of the mountain pass.

"But now, you can't run." The leader of the Hu people smiled hideously, and there seemed to be a bit of bloodlust in his smile.

Just when the two roads were pursuing, Li Yanzheng was leading a team of cavalry to patrol the pass. Although it is difficult to say that the Zhongshan people will attack Daidi from Feihuyu, because this will allow Zhao to drive Lingshou directly from Handan, without the slightest strategic significance. However, we still have to be prepared here, who can know if the next person to attack Feihuyu will be the Zhongshan people or the Yan people?

"Captain, there is a military situation!" Next to Li Zhuo, a person who looked like Li Zhuo pointed to the flying dust in the sky in the mouth and said, "It seems to be from the south?" ”

"South? Could it be that the kid from Gusong is back? Li Yan guessed.

"Impossible." The young man shook his head, "It's only been a stick of incense since they left, and it's not the right time to come back now, maybe there are other problems." I'm not, I'm going to see it? ”

Li Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Go, Captain Xu." ”

"Yes."
