Chapter 105: Digging a pit and setting up an ambush

Wei Meng poked the ice with the horse lance in his hand, he felt that his face had been blown by the cold wind like a knife and cracked a lot, the wind in this winter was too terrible, but despite this, he had to grit his teeth and lead hundreds of brothers to quickly chisel the ice with the weapons in their hands.

More than half of the ice had been cut through the river, and the part that had been chiseled was thirty feet wide, and even a good horse would not want to gallop over, let alone a man.

"Captain Wei, I'm from the scout camp, Captain Wang asked the villain to tell you that the Tuqi Shi people are here, and it's only less than an hour away from here!" A knight who does not collect at night shouted along the bank of the river to Wei Meng, who was digging ice on the ice.

Wei Meng was shocked when he heard this, and immediately waved his hand: "Got it, hurry up and report to the general!" ”

That night did not raise his hand and waved it a few times, and galloped away in the direction of the city.

Wei Meng immediately shouted to his corporaries: "Did you hear it?" The Turgish barbarians are coming, they will arrive in less than an hour, the brothers are working hard, do it quickly, we will hide after digging through the ice, and when the Turgish people come, we can kill them, and the opportunity to kill the enemy and make a fortune is just around the corner, what are the brothers waiting for? Dry quickly, dry quickly! ”

When the soldiers heard Wei Meng's undisguised idea of wanting to be promoted and make a fortune, they were suddenly shocked one by one, and they all exerted their strength to speed up the speed of ice chisel.

Finally chiseled through the thirty-foot-wide ice from the left bank to the right bank, Wei Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered: "Quick, everyone bring their own weapons and lead their horses!" Liang Qi, you take 200 people to the left bank, and the remaining 200 people go to the right bank with me, find a place to hide, even the war horses must be hidden, don't make a noise, and hide the flag! If my side attacks, your side must immediately cooperate with the attack, and everything depends on our banner."

Liang Qi arched his hand and said, "Understood! The first team, the second team, come with me."

Wei Meng waved his hand to the rest: "The rest of me will go to the left bank with me!" ”

The river is overgrown with withered grass and covered with a lot of snow, which can completely hide people, but it is not easy to hide the war horse, Wei Meng and Liang Qi have to order someone to drive the war horse away and hide it.

If it is autumn, there must be no hiding here, because as long as someone sets a fire, the people and horses hiding in it will be wiped out, but now it is snowing heavily, and the dry grass is wet and cannot be burned, so you can hide in it boldly and safely.

From time to time, the night cavalry of the scout battalion rushed along the river bank from the west, constantly informing Wei Meng of the whereabouts of the Turks, which allowed Wei Meng to get the movements of the Turks in time.

After hiding for about half an hour, more than a dozen Yebu cavalry appeared again along the river bank from the west, this time led by Wang Can, and they were also the last group to return from the west.

After sending a few Yebushu to continue to report to Zhao Ziliang to the east, Wang Can ran towards the hiding place of Wei Meng and the others with the remaining Yebushu cavalry.

Seeing Wang Can running over with his men and horses, Wei Meng got up and beckoned, Wang Can stopped his horse, and let him hide far away from the cavalry that he would not collect the cavalry at night.

Wang Can had just laid down in the grass beside Wei Meng, and Wei Meng asked, "How?" Where did the Turgish go? ”

Wang Can gasped and said, "It should be less than five miles away from here!" ”

Wei Meng's expression changed when he heard this: "In this way, I'm afraid that the Tuqi Shi people will rush here before the brigade of men and horses led by the general!" ”

Wang Can nodded and asked, "What do you want to do?" Do you wait for the Turks to arrive and start attacking, or wait for the general's men to arrive? ”

Wei Meng frowned and thought about it, and said, "It depends, it's too early to decide!" ”

Zhao Ziliang estimated the preparation time too much, in fact, the road was closed by heavy snow on the way to the new army, and the road was not easy to walk, and from time to time some soldiers fell to the ground, blocking the advance of the soldiers behind, so as to delay the marching speed of the entire army.

Seeing that the time was getting less and less, Zhao Ziliang's conscience became more and more anxious, he looked at the Diao River on the left, and immediately ordered: "Each soldier will find two handfuls of dead grass from the side of the road and tie them to two shoes, and then go to the river to assemble on the ice."

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately did so, and after tying dead grass to their shoes, they were able to reduce the phenomenon of slipping when they walked, which saved a lot of effort and quickly restored their morale.

When the soldiers reached the ice of the river, Zhao Ziliang gave another order, and asked all the soldiers on foot to sit on the ice and glide forward, although the terrain in the west is higher than in the east, but this place is close to the confluence of the two rivers, the terrain is relatively flat, and it is not very difficult for the soldiers to slide.

After more than 20 minutes, I finally saw the confluence of the two rivers two miles ahead, Zhao Ziliang and Hu Servants, who were riding war horses, were running on the river bank, the terrain was higher, but they found that there was a dense crowd of people three miles ahead.

Zhao Ziliang was shocked, the Turquoise Shi people arrived before the main force of the army he led, he only hoped that Wei Meng would not act recklessly at this time, and showing up at this time would inevitably alarm the Turian Shi people, and it would not be too late for him to surprise from both sides when he took the main infantry to confront the Turian Shi people.

At this time, the Turian minister Dumodu was sliding quickly on the ice with his men and horses. In his prediction, he would go ashore at the confluence of the two rivers, and then march east along the river bank, and he should be able to raid the west gate of the city just before dark, as long as he entered the city, with his strength of 3,000 men, he could kill the defenders in the city in a very short time, and then loot the entire city of the city, and after collecting enough horses, the army he brought with him would become cavalry again, and the speed of the march would be greatly increased, and then all the way north to sack the city of Asyan, Pykura, and Qiuzi Town, and then return to the town of Broken Leaves from the banks of the Yili River in the north.

Just when Du Modu was constantly pondering and calculating in his heart, the general who was gliding on his side suddenly said loudly: "Lord Du Modu, look, there seems to be someone two miles ahead!" ”

Dumodu looked ahead, and sure enough, he saw a large number of human heads at the end of the river, and he chuckled in his heart, and a bad premonition came over him.

After only a few breaths, Du Modu finally saw the people and horses coming from the opposite side, it was the Tang Army! The bad premonition in Dumodu's heart was finally confirmed, why? Why did the Don Army appear here? You must know that you are extremely careful along the way, trying to stay away from populated places as much as possible, just to hide your whereabouts, Tang Jun should not find out, right?

Du Modu was puzzled, but at this time he didn't have time to think about this problem, he only knew that Tang Jun was in the way, which was not a good thing, maybe it would be a bad thing.

He looked back and saw that the three thousand men under his command were gliding with all their might, the terrain in the west was higher, and the terrain in the east was lower, and it was impossible to avoid the Tang army on the opposite side, since he could find the Tang army on the opposite side, then the Tang army on the opposite side must have discovered his troops. And it is impossible to withdraw from the original road, the ice is very slippery, and it is extremely difficult to advance from the low ground to the high ground, and it will soon be caught up by the Tang army, and then I am afraid that the whole army will be annihilated.

Since it is no longer possible to avoid and retreat, then the only way is to quickly disperse this Tang army, Du Modu thought of this, and immediately said loudly with an awe-inspiring expression: "The front is the Tang army!" We have been discovered, it is impossible to retreat at this time, sons, the only thing we can do now is to kill the Tang army this time, and then take advantage of the unpreparedness of the defenders of the city to break into the city, the Tang army on the opposite side is not more than three percent of our army, and this Lord is sure enough to kill them in the shortest possible time・・・・・・"

"Plop, plop, plop・・・・・・"

"Ahh

Du Modu couldn't finish his words, because he had already found that the ice in front of him had broken and some ice was floating in the river, and he immediately stuck his weapon on the ice, and finally did not let himself slide into the river, but the two or three hundred people at the front of the entire army did not have such good luck.

A scream and scream came out of the river, and the Turgish people slid too fast, and Du Modu's words just now attracted the attention of many Turgish soldiers, so the two or three hundred people in front didn't have time to slow down and all slid into the icy river, like dumplings, and these Turgish soldiers slid into the river and didn't have time to remind the people behind, and the people behind also slid into the river.

"Stop, stop, the ice is broken!" Dumodus cried out anxiously.

After two or three hundred people slid into the icy water, Dumodu finally stopped the more than 2,000 people behind him, but by this time the entire ice layer of the river was a mess, and the sounds of anger, yelling, and cries for help were mixed into a mess.
