The 681st and 12th states were ambushed
Between Pingding and Meiji City, where the upper reaches of the Fen River tributaries, there is a small hilly land. Here, the terrain is not precipitous, and it is a source point of several origin rivers of the Fen River. Hills and dense forests, mountain streams, slowly converge, becoming one of the sources of the Fen River......
Here, Liang Wu, the general of pacification, will naturally not be careless, although this is not a dangerous place, but it is also a slightly more dangerous place than other places. Before they arrived, when they were several miles away, Liang Wu sent scouts to investigate. Naturally, nothing could be found. But Liang Wu didn't expect that in the past two days of marching, the scouts were tired and exhausted, but they couldn't find any problems, so between actions, they relaxed, ignored, and careless......
Although Liang Wu acted carefully, as he expected, their movements would naturally fall into Zhao Jun's sight. Liang Wu was worried about the main thing that the Zhao army was raiding halfway, especially at night, after all, the other party had the advantage of cavalry and didn't care about time, but on the contrary, his own side was not. In this journey of more than one hundred and twenty miles, although there was no large-scale attack by the Zhao army, there were still hundreds or nearly a thousand cavalry harassing back and forth, and for this reason, the cavalry under the command of Liang Wu had already lost as much as five or six hundred in the process of fighting with the other party, which made Liang Wu, who had not many cavalry, very distressed.
However, in this way, it also slightly reduced the caution in Liang Wu's heart. In Liang Wu's opinion, the cavalry of the Zhao army was harassing, which showed that the other party was delaying his own advance, and the situation in Meiji City was critical. Of course, he will not be careless because of this, and the cavalry scouts under his command are still working hard.
Beiguanling, a dense forest at the western foothills. Qin Daolin, the general of Zhao Junzhen's army, looked leisurely at the outside of the dense forest, and the elite soldiers around him were all lurking in the dense forest, and their bodies were naturally armed to the teeth. Under Zhao Xun's explanation, these soldiers also learned to cover their bodies with grass to hide their traces.
Looking at the dense forest behind him and in the distance opposite, Qin Daolin said in a deep voice to the generals beside him: "Have the brothers of the cavalry capital been arranged?" Don't let Liang Wu see the problem, this guy is too careful, so we have to set up an ambush here. What a waste of time, I don't know what is going on in the Lord? ”
General Gao Guang said with a smile: "General rest assured, our cavalry has already made a detour more than ten miles behind their flank. And the scouts under Liang Wu's command, after two days of hard work and the sniping of our scouts, not only did the hard work be abnormal, but also, the professional scouts were almost killed by us. It is also very beneficial for us to wait for work. As long as we meet the head-on attack, break up their front army, and kill the rear cavalry, we will definitely be able to break the state army. If the enemy is defeated here, there is no problem if you think about it the other way, and when the time comes, we will take advantage of the chaos to rescue Meiji City and break the city in one fell swoop. And this peace and extensiveness, but it is an empty city, and it is not in our hands? ”
Qin Daolin spit out the grass in his mouth, and said in a deep voice: "This Liang Wu is really more difficult to deal with than the guards of Guangyan City, no wonder he was appointed by Shi Lin to be in charge of five thousand cavalry, there is no big mistake in being careful, although he looks like a barbarian on the surface, but in fact, he has a delicate mind." It's a pity that if they have enough soldiers and horses, or the 50,000 troops in the three cities of Dingping, it will be difficult for us to plan for Meiji City and the two counties. ”
Gao Guangdao: "Although this person is cautious, it is not step by step in our expectations. Come to think of it, the reinforcements in Guangyanxian County have been solved by General Yang Qiu, and there are fewer reinforcements there than here, so there should be no problem. ”
Qin Daolin nodded and said, "Although General Yang Qiu is young, in our town, he learns and grows very quickly, and it is not a problem at all to solve this reinforcement." Next, it's time for us to express xiàn here. ”
While he was talking, a figure as agile as a cheetah flashed in front of the two, knelt on the ground on one leg, and said to Qin Daolin: "General, they are here, fifteen thousand troops, five thousand cavalry, and the rest are foot soldiers." In addition, there were 5,000 baggage soldiers accompanying him. According to this, it is less than ten miles away. ”
Qin Daolin's face turned straight, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, let everyone be careful, wouldn't you be negligent and leak your whereabouts." ”
Gao Guangdao: "General rest assured, we are all far away from the official road ahead, as long as they can not come and inspect carefully, they will definitely not be discovered." Judging by the inspection behavior of the scouts under Liang Wu's command now, they will not be very careful. ”
Qin Daolin said in a deep voice: "Don't be careless, don't be negligent in everything, if something goes wrong, then it's a lot of trouble." ”
"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will give orders to the soldiers."
Adjacent to Beiguanling, Liang Wu naturally would not be careless, and a team of scouts was sent out to conduct a detailed investigation in a place where Beiguanling was more than five miles long. These dangerous places were the easiest places to be ambushed, and he didn't want to be raided by the Zhao army.
Liang Wu, who had slowed down, had not gone far before the scout turned back. Naturally, there was no abnormal information, and after looking at the sky, the army could camp and rest on the spot after passing this place and then going north for more than ten miles. Although he knew that Meiji City might be dangerous, he did not dare to let his soldiers move too quickly, so as not to be able to attack immediately when he was close to Meiji City.
Looking at the woods on both sides of the official road, which stretched more than ten meters away, Liang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as you pass here, you will not be far from Meiji Castle in the north, and you will be able to reach the outside of Meiji Castle tomorrow afternoon to support Meiji Castle. Although he is not optimistic about the current situation, as a general of the Bingzhou Army, leading the army to support is what he must do.
The cavalry was in front, the infantry was behind, and finally the logistics team was escorted by the infantry. Seeing that the cavalry in front of him had slowly approached the north of the mountain range, just when Liang Wu was relieved, he let out a loud shout, which made him lose his body and spirit......
A roar sounded in the dense forest on both sides: "Shoot the arrows!" Shoot the arrows! Shoot me these bastards! ”
In an instant, countless arrows and crossbows shot out from the dense forest on both sides. When he landed, the soldiers under Liang Wu turned on their backs. Especially the cavalry of the front army, which was taken care of, where blood was splashed, the cavalry in front fell off their horses one after another.
There was a burst of anger in his heart, and then Liang Wu reacted, raised his head in shock, and the sound of bowstrings sounding in the dense forest was endless, and arrows and crossbows were lost like rain. The most valuable cavalry team under his command suffered the most miserable treatment on this official road that was no more than 30 meters wide. Countless war horses were full of arrows and crossbows, and the ground was full of dead bodies.
"It's over, I've been tricked. What are the scouts for, damn it! Liang Wu's mind went blank for a moment, and then he was furious, and the scouts were furious, and they couldn't find the enemy troops in the slightly higher dense forest on either side.
In fact, Liang Wu didn't expect that most of the scouts under his command were killed under the sniper of the Zhao army's cavalry, and the current scouts are not professional, they are all temporary cavalry transfers. Coupled with Liang Wu's extremely strict requirements, these temporary scouts were a little unbearable for a while. After Zhao Jun was not found in the front mountain range, the dense forests deep on both sides of the official road behind did not continue to investigate in detail. As a result, it was in this second half that the foot soldiers of the Zhao army were ambushed.
"Quick! Hurry up and get out of the cavalry, don't delay here! Foot soldiers, formations, sword and shield soldiers on the outside! Liang Wu watched his beloved cavalry being shot and killed, and shouted in distress.
"Hula......" As soon as Liang Wu's words fell, when the cavalry was just about to rush forward, on the road in front, several big trees fell to the ground, forming more than ten barriers in a company, making it impossible for the cavalry to cross over. At the same time, directly in front of the official road, a team of captains of spearmen began to lay down a forest of guns, slowly approaching forward.
"Damn! The cavalry is over! Looking at the scene in front of him, Liang Wu sighed blankly, "How can so many Zhao troops appear here, why didn't our scouts inspect the Dao?" "Judging by the number of crossbow arrows fired, the crossbowmen on both sides were only afraid of seven or eight thousand men.
"Chirp ......" Several arrows flew in front of Liang Wu, and his subordinates hurriedly protected them.
"General, I'm afraid the cavalry will not work, we are going to withdraw from here, and the crossbowmen on both sides of them have begun to advance towards our foot soldiers. If you don't leave, I'm just afraid of ......," the general Zhang You said urgently.
Liang Wu was excited, and then he came to his senses and no longer continued to lose his soul for the cavalry. At this time, his ears were filled with the screams of his own soldiers, mixed with the sound of bows and crossbows and the neighing of war horses. In the dense forests on both sides, part of the Zhao army began to appear from the dense forest, killing from both sides, and some of them came along the dense forest to their own Chinese army, and the arrows and crossbows were lost, and they also began to think about the Chinese army flying.
"The enemy is in front, we retreat, the whole army retreats! Get out of here! Liang Wu shouted. At this moment, there are enemy troops in front of you, and the only way to survive is to retreat. In fact, Liang Wu now also feels that his rear is not so safe. Since Zhao Jun ambushed him, he would definitely ...... behind him But at this moment, he had no choice but to hope that the rear was safe.
"Foot soldiers, kill out!" Qin Daolin ordered sharply. As for the cavalry team, he was not too worried, because according to the agreement, after Liang Wu's army entered Beiguanling, the cavalry began to fight from behind, blocking the retreat of Liang Wu's army, trapping them here, and killing them all in one go.
Qin Daolin rushed out of the dense forest, and the spear quickly stabbed out, and after killing the cavalry who was left here and could not turn the horse's head in time, he turned over his horse and chased after Liang Wuzhong's army. The rest of the Zhao army's foot soldiers followed suit, killing the cavalry soldiers of the Bingzhou army, seizing horses and chasing the enemy. Of course, there were also many cavalry soldiers of the state army who surrendered.
"How's the cavalry?" After the pawns were deployed on both sides, Liang Wu asked gloomily.
"General, less than eight hundred have withdrawn with them. In addition, more than 300 foot soldiers of our army were killed. The crossbowmen of the Zhao army were in hot pursuit, and they had to lose a lot of losses when they withdrew. The partial general Zhang You said hatefully, "This Zhao army is so cunning that he actually set up an ambush here." ”
Liang Wu's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, to say, what he hated the most at the moment was the scout. However, now he has no time to punish them, and most of them have become ghosts under Zhao Jun's arrows.
"I'm most worried about the back exit, I don't know ...... yet"
"Knock...... Knock knock ......" A violent sound came from the rear, and suddenly Liang Wu, who was at the back of Beiguanling, would be able to withdraw in a short time, and Liang Wu, who was talking, turned pale. What he was worried about finally appeared.
