Chapter 177: The Great War is Imminent
Liu Yu chose the location of the ambush in a small forest less than ten miles away from the seashore, a distance of ten miles, which not only made the fast-fleeing Heavenly Master Dao army relax their vigilance, but also made Xu Dao's water master have no time to support!
"Little Master Liu, according to your instructions, the fire oil has been watered in a radius of five miles according to the route you designed, and most of the trees around it have been sawn off, as long as there is a slight external pull, it will fall on the place where the fire oil has been watered!"
Liu Yu was thinking about when the Heavenly Master Dao Defeat Army would appear, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said, "What do you call me?" ā
"Little Master Liu, He joins the army is Big Master Liu, you are Little Master Liu!" The herald said with a smile, looking unusually relaxed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
From the division of troops in front of Xin'an City and the guard ranks, to this grove less than ten miles away from the seashore, along the way, Liu Yu took these two thousand Beifu soldiers and perfectly avoided all the eyes of the Heavenly Master's Dao, which can be described as frightening.
Among them, his accurate judgment, his courage to make a decision, and his innate leadership temperament deeply impressed the two thousand Beifu soldiers, and the title of Xiao Liu Ye spread like this.
"There is only one Liu Ye in the army, and that is Liu joining the army, remember!" Liu Yu frowned and said.
Liu Yu knows very well who Liu Gaozhi is, if the title of this little Liu Ye reaches Liu Gaozhi's ears, he is afraid that some suspicion will be inevitable.
"Is there any new news from the direction of the meeting?"
The herald shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, and then said respectfully: "It's still the news from this morning, last night the Heavenly Master Dao army left the city from Linhai and came in our direction, and it is expected that their former army will enter our ambush circle tomorrow!" ā
Liu Yu nodded slightly, and said: "Tomorrow, when the sun is shining, people will go to the low-lying and humid places to dig up fresh soil, and after receiving the latest news in the direction of Huiji, cover it on the fire oil, the time must be grasped well, not too early, not too late, about an hour before the Heavenly Master Dao enters the ambush circle!" ā
"I'll leave this matter to you, I'll go to sleep!"
Liu Yu is notoriously energetic, if it weren't for the imminent war, he needed to recover his energy, he would still do it himself, in the herald's awe-inspiring eyes, Liu Yu turned over to a big tree with a bang, and lay down at the branch, and after a while, there was the sound of Liu Yu's breathing.

Lu Dun's rear army did not blindly retreat under the pursuit of the Yuzhou army, but from time to time according to the terrain to arrange a counterattack, several times, the two sides have casualties, of course, the casualties of the Heavenly Master Dao are more, Lu Dun's 5,000 rear army, there are only more than 3,000 left.
"Xiao Jie, look, Lu Dun's army has stopped again!" Xie Yan looked ahead and said with a slightly solemn expression.
There is a natural barrier ahead, Lu Dun has already taken advantage of the natural danger to open a frontal posture to meet the enemy, looking at the terrain in front of him, if he wants to attack it, he is afraid that it will be impossible without half a day.
Wei Jie's mouth was said after a little consideration: "Presumably, it must be that Mu Zhi's side has played a role, Xu Daofu's water master has not yet arrived at the seashore to meet the main force of the Heavenly Master Dao, and Lu Dun wants to buy them time!" ā
"Where is Liu Yu? How could he not take advantage of such a terrain? Xie Yan frowned and said.
"If Liu Yu occupies this place, the Heavenly Master Dao army at this time will already be attacked by the enemy on its back, and the turtle in the urn!"
At this time, it was close to dusk, the light was quite dim, Wei Jie's eyes narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the natural danger in front of him, and said slowly: "This natural danger is the only place for the Heavenly Master Dao army to retreat overseas, if Wei Jie's expectations are not bad, there must have been heavy troops stationed here, Liu Yu's two thousand Beifu soldiers want to forcibly capture this place, and the casualties are not small!" ā
"Maybe Liu Yu has other plans, but I don't know!"
"It's only fifty miles to the seashore, and it won't take a day, and when Xu Daofu's sailor arrives, the Heavenly Master Dao army can slip away and return to the sea, and then we can only look at the ocean and sigh, helpless!"
Xie Yan was already a little anxious, but he put down the military affairs of Yuzhou and personally led the troops here, if he returned in vain in the end and failed to really break the chaos of the Heavenly Master, it would be a bit too much to say.
"How do you do it now? Assault or confrontation? ā
Wei Jie's indifferent said: "Of course it's a strong attack, isn't this what we've always been doing?" ā
ā¦.
Tan Daoji once again played the role of charging into battle, under his leadership, more than 2,000 cavalry of the Yuzhou Army, with thousands of foot soldiers, took turns to attack Lu Dun's army, several charges, Lu Dun's 3,000 Heavenly Master Dao army has been killed and wounded, and there is no longer the power to fight.
At this time, it was midnight, and the white moonlight reflected on the blood-stained earth, as if the moonlight had turned blood-red, showing an extremely tragic scene, Lu Dun finally gave the order to retreat, and the remaining remnants of the Heavenly Master Dao army were only a few hundred to follow the footprints of the Chinese army, thinking of the seaside direction and fleeing in a hurry.
And the Yuzhou army led by Wei Jie, Xie Yan, also reluctantly chased after them.
ā¦
"Little Master Liu, the former army of the Heavenly Master Dao is less than five miles away from here!"
Liu Yu slept unusually soundly, and it was not until the herald came to the tree to call him that he woke up from his sleep, and Liu Yu jumped down from the tree.
"Are you all ready?" Liu Yu came to his senses for the first time, his eyes were bright, and the war was about to begin.
"Ready, the earth had covered the oil a quarter of an hour ago, leaving no trace!" The herald said respectfully.
Liu Yu nodded slightly, and said: "Just leave one thousand and five troops here, and allocate five hundred to the vicinity of the seashore, lurking in the sand pit dug in advance, without my order, there must be no movement!" ā
After everything was ready, Liu Yu came to the observation point that had been selected in advance, and in about half an hour, the Heavenly Master Dao front army would enter his sight.
The scout's judgment was very accurate, no more time, no less, just half an hour had passed, the front army of the Heavenly Master Dao rushed into Liu Yu's fire oil array, but Liu Yu did not issue any orders, the more than 1,000 Heavenly Master Dao rebel troops of the front army were not his target, his target was the main force of the Chinese army led by Sun En and Sun Tai.
Liu Yu motioned for everyone to be quiet and wait for orders, while allowing the Heavenly Master Dao Advance Army to walk through the grove and go to the endless seashore.
The former army of the Heavenly Master Dao naturally still has their tasks to complete, and they also need to go to the beach to arrange the last line of defense to plan the retreat of the Chinese army, and what awaits them will be the five hundred Beifu soldiers arranged by Liu Yu!
What Liu Yu wanted to do was to rely on the few 2,000 Beifu soldiers in his hands to wipe out all the chaotic troops of the Heavenly Master Dao!
