Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ambush in the Valley
Under the inner city, Zhou Yi is leading the remaining 80,000 troops to attack the inner city wall, tens of thousands of troops rushed forward like ants, the sound was terrifying, in front of the army, ten huge catapults continued to attack the city wall, each boulder fell on the city wall will make a loud noise, and the city wall trembled.
"Preparation for Throwing Stones". "Put".
As the flag was drawn, ten boulders flew abruptly towards the city wall in front of them, and the boulders flew through the air, leaving several long arcs in their wake. "Boom". "Boom". The walls of the city were hit by a boulder, and there was a loud rumbling sound, as if it were wailing, as if it were really begging for mercy.
"Ah" A boulder fell behind the Yulin army defending the city, and several Yulin soldiers were shaken over on the spot and fell unconscious.
"Report" A scout Pegasus came to Zhou Yi: "Report to the world, a large number of soldiers have appeared in the south of our army, the number is about 30,000, and they are camping fifty miles away at this moment." "Got it, let's explore and report again" Zhou Yi waved his hand, and the scout turned to leave.
To the left of Zhou Yi, a general wearing black armor arched his hand and said: "Shizi, this is the critical moment for our army to break through the royal city, we must not let that Wang Xu do anything bad, give me 5,000 soldiers, and the last general will go to stop them." Li Zhi, in his early thirties, joined the army as a teenager, knew the art of war well, and was full of strategy; He is the most powerful general in the world except for Aguche, and although his martial arts are not as powerful as Aguche, he is not allowed to be Xiaoxu.
As soon as he saw that Li Zhi was going to grab the merit, Aguche was willing to give in, and hurriedly said: "Shizi, the last general only needs three thousand elite soldiers to stop Wang Xu."
Zhou Yi rolled his eyes, glared at Aguche, and scolded: "Wang Xu is coming with an army of 30,000, and you can stop it with 3,000 elite soldiers?" You give Lao Tzu a dead side."
After a pause, Zhou Yi continued: "In addition to Wang Xu's 30,000 troops, there are also 50,000 border troops from Luyang to the west of Wangcheng, and it is estimated that they are about to arrive."
"Aguche".
Aguche was just scolded, he was sulking, when he heard Zhou Yi's shout, his face suddenly smiled, finally it was my turn to play, Aguche replied loudly: "The end will be." "I order you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers and bypass the royal city to block the 50,000 border troops in Luyang, I don't ask you to defeat him, you only need to stop him for half a day." "Deling" Aguche looked excited, and walked away with a whip. "Li Zhi listens to orders".
"You lead your headquarters to the valley to set up an ambush in the south, which is the only place for Wang Xu's army to enter the royal city, you don't need to fight, as long as you have more suspicious soldiers and make them frightened." "No" Li Zhide Ling was about to turn around and leave, but Zhou Yi told again: "Remember, don't let anyone cross the valley within half a day."
"The son of the world can rest assured, his subordinates are awake." Thirty miles south of the royal city, Wang Xu's army was marching rapidly, because he had just received the report of the scouts, the outer city of the royal city had been lost, and the inner city was being fiercely attacked by the army of the prince, and the city was only broken in an instant. Thinking of the consequences after the prince seized the throne, Wang Xu did not hesitate, and immediately pulled out the camp and marched westward, as long as he could arrive before the prince broke through the inner city, there would still be a glimmer of hope.
"Boom Boom".
As tens of thousands of troops ran fast, the armor on the soldiers' bodies swayed from side to side, making bursts of sound.
"Lord, let's march slowly, even if we rush to the royal city like this, the soldiers are tired, how can we still defeat the army of the prince" Sun Yu drove the war horse to Wang Xu's side and persuaded. "No, cross the valley in front of you and then rest" Wang Xu knows the valley outside the royal city, the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, if you don't cross it quickly, wait for the prince to set up an ambush, then you will never want to rescue the royal city, your own strength is not as good as the prince, if you are ambushed again, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"The order is that all soldiers must be rushed to the valley in front within two hours, and that no soldier shall be left behind, and those who fall behind shall be immediately beheaded."
Sun Yu also wanted to persuade, but Huang Quan quipped on the side: "Sun Yu, you don't have to worry, when you are in Jingliao, the soldiers are running every day, what is this distance, you look at the soldiers behind us, their faces are not red and they are not panting, even if they travel another thirty miles, it will not be a big problem."
Sun Yu turned around and looked back, just as Huang Quan said, there was not a single soldier who fell behind after marching for ten miles, Sun Yu was relieved and concentrated on driving the war horse forward.
Three strokes on the sun, the sun is thick.
Above the valley, Li Zhi had already arranged the ambush, although there were only 3,000 people, he was confident that he could block all the incoming enemies; Because these 3,000 soldiers are the result of Li Zhi's personal training over the years, it can be said that they are the most elite troops in the 100,000 army of the prince, and they are also Li Zhi's headquarters, which are under his command. "General, we have arranged all the soldiers at the mouth of the valley, if the enemy forces rush hard, one jumps over, the top of this valley is rugged and difficult, we can't pursue it," Li Zhi said, a soldier said.
Li Zhiyi pointed behind the valley and explained: "Do you see the depths of the valley, the sky is full of flags, and the dust is rising; As long as they are violently ambushed by our troops at the mouth of this valley, they will believe that there are more ambushes in the valley, and then they will dare to go any further."
"General, isn't this too risky, if they don't believe it?"
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "They will believe it." "Look, general, here they are".
Li Zhi raised his eyes and saw a huge black dot appear at the end of the pipe under the valley, and then the black dot slowly became larger, the corners of Li Zhi's mouth were slightly upturned, and his right hand was slightly raised: "Everyone is ready, as soon as they enter the valley, they will immediately fire ten thousand arrows, and the speed must be fast."
The soldier was about to turn around and give the order, but the army under the mountain suddenly stopped advancing: "General, they have stopped."
Under the valley, Sun Yu grabbed the reins of the horse, and Wang Xu asked, "Sun Yu, why did you stop?" ”
"Lord, look at the valley ahead, the prince must be one step ahead of us to ambush the soldiers under this arrangement," Sun Yu pointed to the depths of the valley. Wang Xu only cared about the road, but forgot to pay attention to the surrounding situation, after Sun Yu reminded him, only then did he find the strangeness in the valley, observed for a long time, Wang Xu smiled: "Sun Yu, you see, since it is an ambush, you should not let us notice, so that we can be caught off guard, but you look in this valley, such a big movement, fools can see that there are ambushes in this valley, it can be seen that there are no ambushes in this valley, just suspicious soldiers, intended to let us retreat; How could such a trick be hidden from me, and tell the soldiers to follow my banner and rush quickly through the valley." "Lord Father". Sun Yu persuaded: "Lord, don't take risks, whether there are ambushes in the valley still needs to be verified, why don't you let me lead five hundred sword and shield men to test them first."
