Chapter 326 Deng Ai Chen soldiers set up an ambush, and Cheng Lian sent the general to take the roadblock
Then on the paper, a soldier sent by Cheng Lian went to explore the way.
The terrain ahead is narrow, with a little elevation on both sides, making it an excellent place for an ambush.
Zhuge Qiao stopped Cheng Lian and suggested that he send someone to explore the way.
Because of the lesson of Hao Yin's incident, Cheng Lian knew that he was careless, so he sent a group of soldiers and horses.
The soldier received the order, carried his shield, and walked ahead of the soldiers.
In order to stop the pursuers behind, Deng Ai had already arranged this ambush of more than 2,000 people when he passed here.
Headed by Deng Ai's personal guard.
They occupied the high slopes on either side, crouched on the dirt slopes, their bows clenched in their hands, and stared nervously at the enemy who was slowly approaching in the distance.
Deep down, they don't know if they will die in this battle.
But some of them have already thought and realized that they have been abandoned!
A lot of people think about death......
A fourteen-five-year-old young soldier was so frightened by this situation that he cried, and secretly lay on the dirt slope, choking.
An elderly veteran gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't be afraid, child! When they attack in a moment, you run behind that! Run as fast as you can! ”
Hearing the veteran say this, the young man looked at the veteran with teary eyes and asked, "Can I really run?" ”
A man in his thirties next to him said, "Run! You take all these things out of us, remember to survive, go back to Gaoling, burn a piece of paper for our ancestral grave, and cultivate a handful of soil! ”
Listening to the sadness that everyone said, the boy cried even more!
The adjutant general over there heard them and scolded loudly.
Everyone quickly shut up and silenced.
Looking at the enemy soldiers who were getting closer and closer, the lieutenant general led by him also became nervous.
When these more than 1,000 people entered the ambush circle, he found that there were only more than 1,000 people, and a nervous heart settled down a little.
At this time, I don't know which one made a sound, which alerted the people below.
A "squeak" sound came, and the military Sima below immediately became vigilant.
"Be careful!" He commanded.
Before the words fell, the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air came from both sides.
Because there is no wind, the sound is clear.
With the early warning of the military commander, the soldiers who had explored the way immediately raised their shields, and groups of ten gathered together with each other, allowing the feather arrows to "crackle" on the shields, and no one was injured.
The sky was not completely bright, it was still gray.
The adjutant general above couldn't see the scene below clearly, and just blindly commanded the soldiers to shoot arrows.
Not to mention the lethality, the movement was quite noisy, and it soon reached the ears of Cheng Lian and Zhuge Qiao.
Cheng Lian glanced at Zhuge Qiao with great appreciation, and said, "Sure enough, the hero is a young man!" Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I would have to chase my old friend! ”
The general laughed! Listening to the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, the enemy army should be no more than 2,000 people. The general can divide his forces to attack it! Zhuge Qiao said modestly.
"Good! Two soldiers each of you and Kun'er, split and attack! Cheng Lian said, and then transferred four military horses and sent them to Zhuge Qiao and Cheng Kun.
After several rounds of arrow rain, Deng Ai's lieutenant suddenly felt that something was wrong.
These feathered arrows were shot down overwhelmingly, why didn't even a scream come from?
Could it be that they were all shot to death, and died so simply that they didn't even have time to scream?
When pigs fly!
He summoned one of the veterans and commanded, "Go down and see if they are dead?" ”
The veteran trembled, did not dare to disobey the order, and walked down the slope after turning back in three steps.
Suddenly, a teenager grabbed him, turned back to the lieutenant general and said, "General, don't go and see!" None of them died, not even injured! They were all hiding under their shields! ”
The veteran looked back, but it was the little soldier he had let escape.
"How do you know?" The adjutant asked.
"Although it is very dark below, you should be able to see it clearly if you look closely, so there is no human figure at all, only a piece of black pressing. If it's not a shield, what hides a man? The soldier said.
"Who are you?"
"Villain Hu Lie! Newly enlisted soldiers in Gaoling. ”
The lieutenant looked down, and the sky shook up a little, and he saw a lot more real, but as the little soldier said, he hesitated.
The soldier hurriedly said: "General, the enemy must have noticed our ambush a long time ago, or suspected that we had an ambush. That's why they're sending this army to test us! The villain is bold, please give the general the order to retreat! Otherwise, the enemy will come from the back, and we will all die by the enemy's sword! ”
"Bold! You dare to break the heart of our army? The lieutenant roared inwardly.
Seeing that the adjutant general was angry, the veteran hurriedly protected the little soldier and made amends for his success: "The general is angry, the general is angry." He is young and ignorant, and his mouth is full of nonsense! If you want to blame, blame me! ”
"Humph!" The lieutenant snorted coldly and ignored them.
He looked at the Liu Bei soldiers hiding under the shield below who had already exposed their heads, and thought to himself: "Hmph! It's just a thousand people, and there are more than 2,000 people under a certain command, which is twice as many as you! Why don't you take this opportunity to kill you! ”
Thinking of this, he drew his sword and shouted, "Sons, the opportunity to make a contribution has come!" Kill me! ”
At his command, the soldiers rushed out of the trench brandishing their weapons and shouting, "Kill!" ”
The military commander below hurriedly shouted: "Set up a defensive formation and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
The shield array just now quickly transformed into a hexagonal phalanx, a small formation of ten people, three people on each side, three people in the middle, attacking and retreating.
The hostile side above rushed down, but they waited for the battle, and on the first day of the confrontation, they directly killed several enemy soldiers. \
However, there was a huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, and they were still surrounded by the enemy.
Fortunately, this state did not last long, and the reinforcements of Cheng Kun and Zhuge Qiao arrived.
The huge superiority in strength and the effective phalanx offensive quickly broke the fighting spirit of the enemy army, and all the remaining soldiers on the field were captured.
They completely opened up the jam that was intercepted at the ferry crossing to Weibei.
Leaving a team of soldiers to clean up the battlefield, Zhuge Qiao and Cheng Kun hurriedly chased after the Weibei Ferry with the rest of the soldiers.
Not long after, Cheng Lian ran into Guan Yu's cavalry who came to chase Sima Yi, and reported to Guan Yu before accompanying Guan Yu.
Knowing that Zhuge Qiao and Cheng Kun had gone to chase after him, Guan Yu knew from the captured soldiers that Sima Yi had escaped Weishui, so he instructed Cheng Lian: "Since Sima Yi has crossed Weishui, it will be difficult to catch up!" You also lead troops and horses to pick up Ling Gongzi and Zhuge Xian's nephew. ”
"Obey the general's orders!" Cheng Lian agreed, and then took the soldiers and horses to pick up his son Cheng Kun and Zhuge Qiao.
Besides, Zhuge Qiao and Cheng Kun took more than 4,000 soldiers and horses and went straight all the way.
About three miles in front of them, three figures stumbled towards the Weibei ferry.
Deng Ai had already commanded the soldiers to cross a third, and there were nearly 10,000 people waiting to cross the river behind.
Suddenly, a soldier ran to report that there were three soldiers who had run away from the front line, and they had something important to report.
Deng Ai hurried to meet the three of them.
These three people were none other than Na Hu Lie, the veteran and the middle-aged soldier who had asked him to burn paper.
Seeing Deng Ai coming, Hu Lie stepped forward and said eagerly: "I've seen the general." The ambush circle was missed, and Vice General Yan and the soldiers were either killed or captured. The villain desperately escaped and came to deliver a letter to the general! The enemy pursuers are in the background! ”
"It's ...... So fast! What do you do...... Good! Deng Ai patted Hu Lie on the shoulder and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Villain Hu Lie!" Hu Lie replied.
"Excellent! You...... Follow...... I'm it! Deng Ai's eyes were full of appreciation.
Seeing Deng Ai showing love like this, Hu Lie was very happy and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you General for your love." ”
Seeing that there were more than 10,000 soldiers, Deng Ai was very anxious, but he couldn't tell everyone the news!
Once this news comes out, the soldiers will be panicked, and it will definitely cause an uproar!
It wasn't fun back then!
Seeing Deng Ai's solemn face, Hu Lie cautiously asked, "Is the general worried about how to cross the river again?" ”
Deng Ai nodded and did not speak.
"Although the general retreats with this group, the villain has a way to make all the soldiers retreat to the south bank of Weishui!" Hu Lie patted his chest and said.
Listening to him say the word car, not to mention Deng Ai's eyes lit up, even the veterans and middle-aged soldiers behind him looked unbelievable.
Is this kid crazy?
It's still too well disguised!
If it's the latter, this scheming is too deep, right?
What about crying just now when you were afraid of death? Why is it all about running away now?
Deng Ai asked, "You ...... What's the solution? ”
"It's not far upstream, there's a place to wade through on foot! The general only needs to send someone to follow the villain, and tomorrow he will be able to reach the south bank of Weishui! Hu Lie replied.
"Good!" Deng Ai nodded, and then found the deputy general Tian Zhang, and asked Tian Zhang to lead the soldiers to follow Hu Lie and the three west, bypassing Weishui.
Not to mention how Hu Lie and the others bypassed Weishui, it was only said that Deng Ai boarded the ship with more than 1,000 soldiers and did not set off immediately, but waited there for the pursuers behind.
Hu Lie and the others didn't walk for long, and Zhuge Qiao and Cheng Kun caught up.
Looking at Deng Ai in Weishui, Zhuge Qiao said with a smile: "Brother Shizai, why are you in a hurry to leave?" ”
"Don't leave...... Is it ...... Tied ...... Just captured? Deng Ai stammered, glared at Zhuge Qiao and asked rhetorically.
Zhuge Qiao looked at Deng Ai, showed a pitying expression and said, "Hey, with Brother Tai's talent, he will be enough to be an official in the future." However, I went astray today, and I will not look back, lest it be too late! ”
Deng Ai shook his head and said, "Thanks to Brother Tai...... Pity, Ai knows it...... Loyal ministers don't care about the two masters, just ...... In this regard...... Don't over! ”
After speaking, he waved the big flag in his hand, and the boats started and headed towards the south bank of Weishui.
After all, there were no more ships, so Zhuge Qiao and Cheng Kun had no choice but to watch them go away.
