"Oh no, we must have been tricked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Xu Maogong reacted when he kicked it, and said with a shocked face: "Maybe the enemy is deliberately defeating and leading us to chase after us." ”
"In the art of war, it is said that the poor do not chase, and the poor do not chase... We really shouldn't get carried away. ”
Cheng Yanjin asked, "Then what now?" ”
"General Wei Chi is a meritorious hero of my Tang Dynasty, and he has a lot of prestige in the army, can the headquarters see death and not save him?"
"Save! Be sure to save it! ”
Xu Mao said fairly: "If something happens to General Wei Chi, not to mention that the emperor will blame, the officers and men of our three armies will also be uneasy, which is not conducive to our next battle." ”
"Someone, go and find Yu Chi Baolin and Jiang Li."
"No."
After a while, Yu Chi Baolin and Jiang Li rushed over, and Xu Maogong immediately ordered the two to lead all the cavalry in the army to the front line to rescue Yu Chigong.
In addition to the 5,000 cavalry brought by Wei Chigong, there were 15,000 people from the old cavalry battalion, as well as a new cavalry with a number of 20,000 that had just been established.
So, Yu Chi Baolin and the generals rushed to eighty miles away with 35,000 iron horsemen in the starry night! Especially Yu Chi Baolin, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't wait to fly to his destination immediately to save his father.
At this point, fifty miles away.
There is also a valley here, from the White Tiger Pass to the west, the first valley, in this valley, there are still ambushes, and the number is very large!
How many are there?
In addition to Li Heng with 20,000 people in ambush, there were also 30,000 White Tiger Pass defenders withdrawn by Sun Xiang, all of whom stayed halfway up the mountain.
Just a few hours ago, Wei Chigong passed by from the bottom of the mountain with 5,000 cavalry, Li Heng did not order an ambush, and also asked all the soldiers not to act rashly, so that Wei Chigong chased out eighty miles in one go, and did not see the enemy, but was ambushed eighty miles away, where there were less than 10,000 ambush soldiers.
Now this valley is the highlight of Li Heng's plan!
Xu Maogong has a saying that is right, he has been tricked! It's really a trick! How could a dangerous pass like the White Tiger Pass, the barrier of Xiliang, be lost to the Tang Army in vain? If it weren't for the stupidity of Xiliang, there must be a conspiracy.
Halfway up the mountain, Sun Xiang smiled and arched his hand towards Li Heng and said: "It turns out that the prime minister has already been confident, and the general will admire it!" ”
"Sun Xiang, you can't fight a war with all your strength, sometimes you have to use your brain, although I don't know how to march and fight, but I can guess the enemy's mind. You've been leading the army for many years, don't you even have this brain? ”
Li Heng said: "As I expected, within two hours, Cheng Yanjin will send a large number of cavalry to rescue Wei Chi Gong, Wei Chi Gong is a general of the Tang Army, he has to save, our task is to eliminate this group of cavalry." ”
"When all their cavalry is destroyed, the rest will be easy to do, I don't believe that they still dare to covet my Xiliang, and dare to use troops against my Jincheng."
"Hey, hey... There is a state minister guarding here, which is the death period of the Tang army. ”
Sun Xiang patted a horse.
He now admires Li Heng is five-body thrower, and he no longer has the previous suspicions, and his attitude towards Li Heng has also changed, and at the same time, he finally realized how stupid it was for him to stick to the White Tiger Pass before and not listen to orders.
Li Heng glanced at Sun Xiang, called Cao Qin over again, and said: "Now, I lack generals who can fight well in Xiliang, you two can be regarded as leading troops for many years, and you have made great contributions, I will make it clear to the king and appoint you two as generals." ”
The two looked delighted and bowed: "Thank you, Prime Minister." ”
Li Heng continued: "Now our army is divided into three parts, one part is the 30,000 people who withdrew from the White Tiger Pass, the other part is the 30,000 people I brought newly, and the other part is coming from Jincheng, there are as many as 10,000, all of them are elites, don't think about the 10,000 people, you two, just divide the two armies for the time being, Sun Xiang, you still take the 30,000 people from the White Tiger Pass, Cao Qin, you lead the 30,000 recruits." ”
"No."
The two looked excited and bowed their hands.
With Li Heng's words, their status in the army will immediately become different, and they will no longer be self-proclaimed generals in the future, but the person who really commands the power, especially Sun Xiang, he can lead an army of 30,000 in a dignified manner!
"Report..." A soldier ran in the distance.
The three of them looked at each other, and Li Heng asked, "What's the matter?" The enemy is coming? ”
The soldier replied: "Yes, the enemy cavalry was found ten miles away, the number is unknown. ”
Sun Xiang said excitedly: "Good come, hum!" We have more than 50,000 troops in this valley, and no matter how many he comes, we can destroy him! Xu Maogong and Cheng Yanjin, there should also be this defeat, how many Xiliang soldiers they killed me, this can only be regarded as a little interest. ”
Li Heng said: "You all go and prepare, and when their cavalry enters the valley, listen to my orders." Remember, block the pass first, then ambush them, and don't let them escape. ”
"Yes."
The two of them answered, and hurriedly went to prepare.
Half an hour later, tens of thousands of cavalry roared over the valley...
The momentum was very loud, and the 35,000 cavalry shook the ground as if an earthquake had occurred, and even Li Heng's army, which was lying in ambush above the valley, also sensed a strong earthquake force.
When the army was more than halfway, Li Heng immediately ordered an ambush!
Four or five soldiers threw off their arms and beat the drums of war!
Knock knock...
"Kill! Kill all the Tang Army! ”
Thundered!!!
The mountain stone fell and smashed towards the team of Yu Chi Baolin and Jiang Li, the speed was very fast, as if there was a sudden earthquake, the thing was too sudden, and the two of them didn't react at all.
When they reacted, two boulders flew right in, and the two of them were quick to dodge.
"Oh no, there's an ambush here!"
Jiang Li shouted: "Major General Wei Chi, hurry up and lead the soldiers to retreat, and I will break the back." ”
"No way!"
Yu Chi Baolin shouted: "My father is still in front, I have to rush to save him, if you want to withdraw, you can withdraw yourself, I won't withdraw." ”
After speaking, he shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Brothers, don't be afraid, follow me and rush over, as long as you cross this valley, it will be a flat river, and the enemy will not be able to catch up with us, kill...!" ”
So, he led his soldiers forward and struck hard.
Jiang Li sighed, hesitated, and then ran forward. Wei Chi Baolin didn't withdraw, and he didn't dare to withdraw, because he couldn't explain after he went back.
The two of them took the soldiers and ran to the other side of the valley...
However, after running forward for about two miles, they suddenly found that the valley was sealed, and countless boulders blocked the mountain pass, and they could not rush at all, and then looked at the overhead, countless boulders, rolling logs, bows and arrows fell down, and the soldiers behind them suffered heavy casualties.
Jiang Li was directly desperate, he regretted it very much now, he had known that this was the case in front of him, he should have retreated directly, even if he went back and was scolded, it was better than throwing his life here.
