Chapter 51: Ambush

"Report! Fifty miles ahead, I found traces of Xianbei in Liaodong! Captain Yan Rou led more than 200 horsemen to monitor! ”

Right ahead!?

Wang Wu's spirits perked up, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army is moving forward at an accelerated pace!" ”

Three days ago, I received the news from Yan Rou's subordinates, Liaoxi Xianbei was twenty miles south of Linyu, and now I hurried to catch up, just after Linyu, I received such a message, which is simply exciting!

Three days, only to travel only seventy miles, an average of twenty miles a day, I have to say, Xianbei people are really slow, it seems that there are a lot of women and children and materials.

"Speed up!" Salazar also immediately rode his horse and shouted at the cavalry behind him.

The Xianbei cavalry, who were ready to go, received the order and immediately rode their horses and rushed forward!

It's only fifty miles, and it doesn't take two hours to rush over!

……

Fifty miles north of Linyu.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, but Wang Wu's army was delayed, Yan Rou felt a little inexplicably anxious.

"Captain! Captain Wang, if they don't come again, the Xianbei people will be out of the customs! A personal soldier looked at Liaoxi Xianbei, who was slowly moving forward not far away, and said unwillingly, "Once you get out of the customs, it will be difficult to do!" ”

Yan Rou's face sank like water, as the soldiers said, once the Xianbei people were allowed to get out of the pass, things would not be easy to do, because the Xianbei people only needed a small number of troops to hold the pass, and then the Xianbei army could calmly transfer back to the old camp with women and children and the looted materials.

Yan Rou estimated the time in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "It should be almost here, when did Captain Wang disappoint us?" ”

"But ......" The pro-soldier wanted to say something, but was immediately interrupted by Yan Rou.

"Don't be! Take a break! Keep an eye on it! Yan Rou said in a deep voice, "Don't make any mistakes!" ”

"No!"

In response, the soldiers retreated.

At this time, Yan Rou didn't know that the reinforcements had already arrived, and they had already rushed to the front of the Xianbei people and set up an ambush in advance.

……

On the road to the pass of the Xianbei people, there is a canyon, the mountains on both sides of the canyon are deep and dense, the wild grass is higher than the top of the people, and it is more than enough to ambush an army of 100,000.

At this moment, the 20,000 light cavalry led by Wang Wu were ambushed in the dense forests on both sides of the canyon.

20,000 horses hid in the dense forest, but there was no abnormal sound, only the mountain wind blew, sending out bursts of pine waves.

Wang Wu was riding on horseback, with a canopy in his hand, and was staring intently at the canyon outside the dense forest.

After receiving Yan Rou's report, Wang Wu immediately ordered the whole army to speed up, preparing to intercept and kill Xianbei in Liaoxi, but the lonely swordsman, the chief thinker who had not shown himself for a long time, suddenly appeared, and released a big move as soon as he came.

"Anchor, are you stupid, why are you stupid chasing from behind?"

"If you don't chase from behind, how can you chase it? Go around to the front to block? ”

"Do you want to block it, the anchor is going to recharge your IQ, ambush, ambush, ambush, say important things three times, the war is a conspiracy, hurry up and be tough with the Xianbei people?"

"Ambush?"

"That's right, ambush, at the least cost, to win the greatest victory."

"However, the Xianbei people have captured a lot of our Han women and children, and if they are ambushed, will they be injured by mistake?"

"You're just, an ambush may accidentally injure women and children, but won't you be injured by mistake if you are tough on the front? Things are just the opposite, the front is more dangerous just now, once the situation is found to be wrong, the Xianbei people are very likely to kill the women and children first, that's bad. ”

So, Wang Wu was convinced, and then led 20,000 light horsemen around in front of the Xianbei people, and ambushed in this canyon.

Wang Wu looked intently at the canyon ahead.

Suddenly, a small generation of Xianbei cavalry immediately appeared in the field of vision, this is obviously a team of scouts, after entering the canyon, they keep looking around, and from time to time they will stop and shoot arrows into the dense forests on both sides of the canyon, and sometimes they will even deliberately yell a few times, Lao Tzu has seen you, get out of here!

It's just that Wang Wu's army has long been prepared, so how can he be easily fooled?

Finding nothing out of the ordinary, the Xianbei scout quickly passed through the canyon.

After about half an hour, a group of Xianbei cavalry entered the canyon.

Wang Wu's location is the high place on the right side of the canyon, looking down condescendingly, you can clearly see that the Xianbei cavalry lined up into four longitudinal horses, marching forward, the entire marching army column dragged out for several miles, the front team is about to walk out of the canyon, but the rear team has not yet come in.

In addition, the materials that were snatched by the Xianbei people had already entered the canyon, and hundreds of carts were loaded, but the women and children who were snatched from Yangle and the nearby villages did not see it, and it was estimated that they were still behind and did not enter the canyon.

It seems that it is impossible to encircle and annihilate all the Xianbei people in the canyon, but fortunately, as long as most of the Xianbei cavalry can be annihilated, it will be almost the same.

At that moment, Wang Wu did not hesitate to give an order: "Release the arrow!" ”

A row of trumpeters standing behind Wang Wu immediately raised their horns and blew them vigorously, and in an instant, the sound of long horns sounded throughout the canyon.

The next moment, dense arrows rose from the dense forests on both sides of the canyon like a violent storm, and then converged in the air to form a forest of death, and then shot down at the Xianbei cavalry crowded in the canyon, and the Xianbei cavalry was caught off guard and fell down one by one in an instant.

This was a massacre without suspense, after more than a dozen waves of arrow rain, the Xianbei cavalry in the canyon had already gone to seven or eight, and there were less than two thousand horsemen left, and their courage had been lost, and they had completely lost their fighting spirit.

Wang Wu raised his right hand again, and swung it down vigorously, and the sound of the horn became fierce.

The next moment, 20,000 Hu cavalry collected their bows and arrows, took out their scimitars, and rushed out of the dense forest like a tide, and the Xianbei cavalry in the canyon suddenly had a cold heart, and they were busy running away to both sides of the canyon, but unfortunately, it was too late to escape at this time.

When Wang Wu came to the center of the canyon surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, the battle in the canyon had ended, and as far as the eye could see, there were corpses of Xianbei in Liaoxi all over the ground, and there were many Xianbei wounded who were wailing in a pool of blood. ”

The soldiers behind Wang Wu immediately showed hideous expressions, and raised their bright scimitars one by one.
