Chapter 165: Flanking Attack

Mt. Kuo

Kuo Valley

Yu Wenwen tried his best to make a calm expression on his face, in fact, the haze in Yu Wenwen's heart was also overlapped, Da Dan Yu handed over the flank guard troops of the Yuwen Department to himself, and he was completely driven out of the battlefield at this time, as for the important task of guarding the safety of the flank of the royal court headquarters, Yu Wenwen was already too busy to take care of himself at this moment, where could he still take care of the safety of the flanks.

The valley is the only way to the base camp of the Ministry of Yuwen in western Liaoning, the valley is about ten miles long, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The middle terrain is flat, allowing forty or fifty horsemen to gallop side by side, and the valley is flanked by high mountains, with an exit in front and behind, and there is no other way out unless you go over the mountains.

The reason why it is called Kugu Valley is because it is rumored that there used to be a large number of mandrills in the vicinity, and after a heavy snowfall, the roar of mandrills can be heard from a long distance, and no one dares to pass here. It's just that in recent years, the mandrill has gradually become hidden in the mountains, and people don't know why, there are different opinions, and there are also some things to say, but the valley is finally passable, and it can be regarded as a road.

At this time, the valley was unusually quiet, and the sound of wings fluttering could be heard as birds passed by. Li Hu, who was wearing armor and holding a sword, squatted behind a boulder, his face was solemn, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes widened and he stared into the distance, and the soldiers of the Duan Department around him were prostrate on the ground one by one, silent, all waiting for Li Hu's order.

After Yu Wenwen led the army to break out of Duan Chen's encirclement, he retreated all the way to the west, and the Duan Red Banner cavalry led by Su Li and Da Xile and others was once blocked by the archers and spearmen left by Yu Wen, so they did not catch up with the Xianbei army, during which Yu Wen also sent a cavalry of more than 1,000 people to carry out guerrilla harassment against Su Li Da Xile and others in order to retreat smoothly, which weakened the pursuit speed to a certain extent.

Long before Yuwen broke through, the elite of the 10,000 Yellow Banner led by Li Hu had arrived at the Kuo Valley, occupied the commanding heights, and ordered people to push down the boulders to block the exit to Liaoxi.

It was completely dark, Li Hu was anxiously waiting in his heart, since he followed Duan Chen, Duan Chen could be said to be in favor of himself, not only promoted him to the position of deputy flag master, but also gave Li Hu the right to set up his own flag and build a camp, holding a heavy military position and high power, this is Li Hu's current portrayal, these things have also brought a lot of troubles to Li Hu, the first is the questioning and ridicule from the Wang Xun nobles within the Duan Ministry, as well as deeper discrimination, for no other reason, It's just because he's a Sinicized Di person.。

However, after all, Li Hu is also a battle-hardened battle, and the waves in his heart are not revealed at all, he holds the boulder in his left hand, and holds the war knife hanging from his waist tightly in his right hand, motionless like a stone sculpture, and soon, the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the moonlit night.

Sure enough, Yuwen's army appeared.

A general beside Li Hu looked up at Li Hu, and the two looked at each other, obviously, this general also heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Li Hu still squatted in place, did not give any orders, and all the soldiers clenched their weapons in their hands almost at the same time, their bodies moved slightly, ready for battle.

Yuwen's vanguard army took the lead and rushed into the valley, followed by the Chinese army, and Yuwen Xianbei's army marched quickly, intending to cross the valley as fast as possible.

"The order is that after the forward army passes through the valley, quickly occupy the high ground on both sides, and if the Duan Division pursues them, we will ambush them in the valley." Yu Wen rode his horse and gave orders.

"Obey!" The herald quickened and hurried forward.

After about a stick of incense, Yuwen Xianbei's army had basically entered the valley, and Yuwen was still thinking about the news from the forward battalion when he ambushed the Duan Department here.

"Report to the general, the big thing is not good, the vanguard officer ordered me to report, the way out ahead has been blocked by a boulder, several feet high, the war horse cannot pass, and our army cannot pass."

"It's not good, I fell for the trick of Duan Chen's dog mongrel, the generals listened to the order, the back team became the front team, the front team became the back right, everyone immediately withdrew from the valley and fought to the death with Duan Bu! Fast! Yu Wenwen woke up like a dream and urgently ordered a retreat, but it was too late.

Li Hu stood at the entrance of the valley, and found that the Yuwen Xianbei army had all entered this big pocket, and immediately set up, and the 10,000 soldiers of the 10,000 Duan troops to which he belonged suddenly shook the sky, and the Yuwen Xianbei army was frightened by the sudden shout.

"Light a fireball, and roast all the men in the Ubunbu tonight!"

With Li Hu's order, hundreds of fireballs rolled down the hillside and rushed into the Yuwen Xianbei army, and suddenly there was a wail from the Yuwen Xianbei army, and some people had not yet reacted to the fire people who had become, and the soldiers around them avoided them, and Yuwen's army immediately fell into chaos.

The Ubunbu has always been in the company of fierce beasts, and it is fierce by nature. Under such circumstances, I couldn't help but rush around in a panic, but rushed towards the mountain one by one with a scream. In particular, Yu Wenwen took the lead in rushing to the exit of the valley. Seeing this, Yu Wenwen's personal guards immediately sent people to counterattack on the mountains on both sides, trying to occupy the high ground.

Li Hu has been dealing with the Xianbei people for several years, and he is very clear about the fighting habits of the various tribes in Xianbei, how could he not know the intentions of the Yuwen Xianbei people, so he immediately ordered: "Prepare the archers, and release arrows to the Chinese army of Yuwen!" Then use the rolling stone and sassal wood to smash these Xianbei people down the mountain for me! ”

In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, and countless stones and wooden stakes rolled down on the mountains on both sides of the valley, and Yuwen Xianbei, who had just climbed not far up the mountain, was immediately smashed down by the rolling stone sasswood, and the basic * burst into the smashed and died on the spot, and the smash was basically screaming again and again, and it was already lost its combat effectiveness.

Yu Wenwen led the army to retreat outside the Kuo Valley, Li Hu had already expected it, but due to the limited number of soldiers, he could only send a phalanx composed of a thousand contradictory soldiers to temporarily block the entrance to the Kuo Valley to prevent the Yuwen Xianbei people from rushing out of the Kuo Valley and waiting for Duan Chen's reinforcements.

Although the Yuwen Xianbei army fell into a very disadvantageous situation, the wildness and desire to survive in their bones prompted them to impact Li Hu again and again to intercept their infantry phalanx, and soon, the infantry phalanx was broken through, and some Yuwen Xianbei soldiers with strong personal force and Li Hu's men fought in a scuffle.

At this moment, the cavalry and cavalry troops of Su Li and Da Xile had arrived, and Yu Wenwen's army had been completely blocked in the valley.

Seeing that the Duan Department had blocked the exit, Yuwen Xianbei's army knew that there was no hope of breaking through, and the only way to fight to the end was to fight to the death, so they began to shrink their positions and took the initiative to form a formation. Li Hu saw that Su Li and the others had arrived, so he also ordered to suspend the attack.

Yu Wenwen was embarrassed, but he was still arrogant, and shouted loudly: "Where is Duan Chen'er? Come out and talk to me! ”

"When death is on the verge of death, do you want to entrust me with my last words?" Duan Chen rode his horse, slowly walked through the crowd, stopped in front of the formation, and asked with a sneer.

"Okay, you Duan Chen, Lao Tzu underestimates you, you and I have the ability to lead the army to fight a real battle, what kind of ability is it to use this strategy?"

"Hahahahahaha, Yu Wenwen, you are still a battle-hardened person, don't you understand the truth that soldiers are not tired of cheating? Thinking that Zhuge Wolong burned Sima Yi in the gourd valley back then, but people were not as good as the sky, and the heavy rain from the sky saved Sima Yi, although today I Duan Chen does not have Zhuge Wolong's talent through heaven and earth, but your Yu literature is definitely not as good as Sima Yi's life, and Kuogu is your burial place! ”

"Phew!" Yu Wenwen spat at Duan Chen fiercely, and said with a sneer: "Duan Chen, when you were in the grassland and lost your soul, did my Yuwen Department snub you?" When you first ascended to the throne, was my Yuwen Department the first to recognize your position? You engage in the Great Xianbei Alliance, will my Yuwen Department marry our noble princess to your Duan Department and promote your Great Xianbei Alliance? Now you have a bad heart for the Yuwen Ministry, Duan Chen, you ask yourself, are you okay with your conscience? ”

"This is my business, and I don't need you to ask about it." The corners of Duan Chen's mouth twitched slightly, and he said coldly.

"Although our Yuwen Department has lived outside the Saiwai for a long time, it also has a unique style, and it is also the new big single of our Yuwen Ministry, who is ambitious, why don't you take your subordinates to join my Yuwen Ministry, I will ensure that you can enjoy the glory and wealth, what do you think?"

"Yu Wenwen, I'm afraid you're crazy!" Duan Chen smiled coldly, obviously not interested in continuing to talk nonsense with Yu Wenwen, and slowly drew out his battle knife between words.

Yu Wenwen saw Duan Chen draw his knife and understood that he had no way to retreat at the moment, so he slowly took off his helmet and threw it on the ground, and then said loudly: "Children, there is no way to retreat today, only to fight to the death, even if it is death, you have to pull a few more pads, are you afraid of death?" “

"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The soldiers of Yuwen Xianbei all understand that they have been completely encircled, and the time and place are not on their side, and they can only fight to the death, and they may be able to survive in death.

"Brothers, don't let go of a man from the Ubunbu, kill me!" Duan Chen saw that Yuwen Xianbei was ready to break the net, and immediately issued an order for a decisive battle.

"Rush!"

"Kill the Xianbei people! Kill! “

Su Li led the cavalry to surround the entrance of the valley, blocking the Yuwen Xianbei people in the valley, and the Yuwen Xianbei people who intended to break through the Duan camp were turned over by the shooters before they could rush to the front of the formation.

All of a sudden, the shouts of killing inside and outside the mountain resounded through the heavens and the earth......
