Chapter Ninety-Two: Ambush

Standing on the edge of the Wuha Mountains, the border between Liaodong vassal states and Shanggu County, Yan Zhanshu was marching forward with 10,000 iron horses. Suddenly, Zhao Yun hurried over, and his excited expression was uncontrollable: "General, just time to visit Malay, yesterday, the Wuhuan surrounding Jicheng has been divided into two groups, respectively in the direction of Shanhaiguan in the south, and in the direction of Shanggu County in the east, that is, we are here!" Zhang Ju's rebels did not dare to besiege the city alone, and had already retreated to the east on their own, and they should have gone to Guanzi City in Liaoxi to fight Zhang Chun's rebels - the siege of Jicheng had been solved without a fight! ”

"It's finally here!" Yan Zhanshu smiled wryly: "It's not in vain that I've slowly come to the present!" With a whip raised, he ordered, "Set up camp!" ”

The military order spread, and suddenly, this mighty army, rushing forward like a stream of iron, quickly stopped the momentum and stopped at the mouth of the valley in the Uha Mountains.

Standing in the middle of the camp, Yan Zhanshu asked Zhao Yun to send more than 100 cavalry Han soldiers to scout the horses, carefully investigate the whereabouts of the difficult building department, and must return every quarter of an hour to report the news! Then he turned to the map on the desk and took a closer look at the geographical Yamagata-gun of Kamiya-gun.

Yan Rou walked to Yan Zhanshu's side, pointed to a place on the map and said, "Lord, this is Juyong Pass-the old camp of the Wuhuan Department of Shanggu County is located on the grassland more than 100 miles south of Juyong. ”

Slowly drawing a line along the location pointed out by Yan Rou, Yan Zhanshu asked slowly: "Zihe, if the Difficult Building Department wants to rush back to the old camp from Jicheng as quickly as possible, do you have to pass through our current Wuha Pass?!" ”

"Not bad! Although my Youzhou is close to the desert, but there are many mountains, just to build the Great Wall, from Jicheng to return to the difficult building, must first pass through the Juyong Pass, and then through the Wuha Pass, in order to return to the old camp, otherwise, you must go through the Bauhinia Pass, around hundreds of miles, rescue soldiers such as fires - normal people will not do this! Yan Rou replied grimly.

"What's more, Gongsun Zhan's 20,000 Han troops, and more than 60,000 Wuhuan elite cavalry plus rebels from Pulu and Qiu Liju, totaling more than 100,000 people, are facing off in western Liaoning, only dozens of miles away from Bauhinia Pass.

"My lord, the last general also thinks that the analysis of the son and brother is reasonable, and Nanlou is likely to return from the Wuha Pass by Juyongguan."

"Hmmm! Zilong, Tan Ma has reported, how many people are in the difficult building? Yan Zhanshu asked.

Zhao Yundao: "According to rough estimates, there should be more than 30,000 riders. ”

"More than 30,000 rides?" Yan Ju said, "My lord, there is not a huge difference in strength. Moreover, Nanlou does not know the existence of our army, and it is completely possible to attack it unprepared and kill him by surprise - our army is eighty percent sure of winning this battle, the difference is only how many casualties! ”

Yan Zhanshu nodded indifferently and asked Zhao Yundao, "How long will it take for the Difficult Building Department to reach Wuha Pass?" ”

Zhao Yundao: "Although the Wuhuan people are all cavalry, but after Kou plundered Youzhou, there are tens of thousands of women and children, cattle and sheep that need to be driven, and they may continue to loot people and livestock along the way, from Jicheng to Wuha Pass, it is estimated that it will take about four days." ”

"Four days!? After deducting the time to return to the horse, there are still three days! Yan Zhanshu looked at the map and muttered for a moment, Huo Ran turned around and said sharply, "Come on, pass on Zheng Hun!" ”

The Wuha Mountains and the Changbai Mountains meet in the northeast of Shanhaiguan for 100 miles, forming a mountain pass, which is the Wuha Pass. On both sides of the mountaintop, there is the ancient Great Wall of Yanzhao, there are many collapses, there was a fortress originally built at the mountain pass, and it has long been submerged in the destruction of the wind and sand, and now only a broken well remains remain.

The Wuha Pass runs east-west, more than 100 zhang wide, there are hills, weeds and shrubs are overgrown, and the mountains on both sides are gentle. Beyond the Uha Pass is the endless grassland of Shanggu County, but inside the pass is a gently undulating hilly terrain, and the inner and outer terrain is conducive to cavalry galloping, so it has been a battlefield since ancient times.

The wind howled, and the sand and gravel filled the sky. The warm winter day finally fell from the mountain ridge on the west side, and when the sunset gradually weakened, the sky finally darkened - the cold night could fall unhindered.

The sky was like a cover, dark clouds obscured the crescent moon, and the already small number of stars became more and more dim. The wilderness is vast. In the Alashan Pass, among the gently undulating hills, there was a sudden bustling sound, and a bright torch rose leisurely from behind the mountain beam, suddenly cutting through the darkness between the sky and the field, and then, more and more mutton fat torches emerged from behind the mountain beam.

Under the light of the red fire, a large and large team was spreading all over the mountains.

"Driving-" Lou Ban grabbed the horse's belly fiercely, and rode his horse to catch up with the difficult building: "Big brother, there is Wuha Pass in front, do you want to send a small group of cavalry to explore the road first?" ”

"Not necessarily!" A trace of anxiety flashed across Nanlou's face, "Order, the whole army will pass as fast as possible." ”

"Big brother, what if there is an ambush?"

"No whatever!" Nan Lou said impatiently: "The most capable Baima Yicong and the elite Han army in Youzhou are all under the command of Gongsun Zhan, all of them are assembled in Liaoxi County, Yan Zheng's Han dog must take advantage of the emptiness of our Wuhuan tribe, busy looting people and cattle and sheep, it is impossible to ambush us!" ”

Hearing this, Lou Ban was silent, although there was still a trace of worry, but after all, he was not the king of the tribe.

"Drive!" Nanlou slammed the horse's belly, and the war horse accelerated, galloping towards the Wuha Pass.

The terrain of the Wuha Pass is not dangerous, but it is in the way of the difficult building, if the difficult building chooses to detour, it will need to delay at least half a day, which is intolerable for the difficult building who is eager to rush back to the tribe.

"Boom-" The more than 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry in the vanguard poured into the Wuha Pass like a tide, and the earth trembled slightly under the merciless impact of the frantic iron hooves.

"Whew." The mount under the crotch of Nanlou, who had taken the lead, fell down and threw him out of the horse. The people in the difficult building were in the air, and the bear's waist stood up and fell to the ground with a bang. Huo Ran turned around and saw that in the smoke and dust, a series of fine pits were lying in the canyon, completely blocking the way of the Wuhuan Iron Rider.

These pits, which were only a little larger than the mouth of the bowl, were a foot deep, and almost every horse that stepped on the trap had broken its legs, and it was obvious that they could no longer be ridden.

His beloved mount had also stepped into the pit, his right front leg twisted into a right angle in the opposite direction, and his white bones were exposed with red blood, and he was now looking at his master and groaning lowly.

"Whew." The mournful neighing of the war horse sounded endlessly, and thousands of Wuhuan cavalry fell headlong, these small soldiers did not have the skills of the difficult building, even after the people and horses fell, they were often crushed by the war horses and broke their legs, and it was difficult to get up, and then more Wuhuan cavalry swept in like a tide, and then a group of people turned over on their backs.

"Go back! All go back. Nanlou's eyes were about to crack, and when he looked up, a majestic figure Huo Ran met his eyes.

When the Wuhuan cavalry was almost all in chaos, the loud horn sounded in the sky, and the Wuhuan people who were controlling their horses in the canyon desperately dodged the horse pit and fell down in front of them raised their heads in horror, only to see that under the dark sky, continuous mutton fat torches were lit on the mountain beams on both sides, and the blazing fire instantly illuminated the whole world.

Under the light of the blazing fire, the black pressure was overwhelming, and countless cavalry came out from behind the mountain beam, which frightened the Wuhuan cavalry into a riot.

Nanlou gasped, raised his right arm and shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic - move closer to me and prepare to fight!" ”

"Whew!" "Whew!" More than 200 terrifying horsemen appeared on the mountain beam, especially the knight at the front, with a wolf helmet on his head, a black subway armor with a man, and sharp iron thorns almost all over his body, raised his right hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "The momentum of the charge, there is no advance or retreat!" ”

A horse rushed down the mountain beam first, and the cavalry behind him responded one after another: "The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!" "The momentum of the lore soared into the sky, converging into a huge and friendless blue wolf visible to the naked eye! Following this terrifying more than 200 ironclad heavy horses, they rushed towards the Wuhuan people who were in chaos!

The giant wolf in the sky was extremely hideous, just as great as the wolf god in the shaman witch's tale, and a panicked inhalation suddenly sounded among the Wuhuan people, and everyone was secretly thinking, did the wolf god abandon us?

Behind the horse, a big flag was hunting in the wind, embroidered with four eye-catching characters of "General Breaker".

"It's the Han Army!" Immediately, there were people who had been captured from Youzhou and shouted.

"It's the Broken General!" Captured all the way from Youzhou, the women and children who had long been desperate suddenly cried with joy: "The general has come to save us!" ”
