091 Purgatory in the Valley on
I didn't come back at noon for today's company meeting, and I came back very late in the evening, delaying everyone to read the text~~ Two more will be sent ~~
…………………………
Seeing that more than 100 cavalry were getting closer and closer, Su You did not order the soldiers to attack, this cavalry was obviously just an outpost, and there must be a large group of Bingzhou troops behind, forgive these more than 100 cavalry could not cause any pressure on Zhou Cang.
Seeing that the cavalry was rushing so quickly, the infantry army behind must be away for a while, so Su You found a valley road with dangerous terrain in the mountains along the road, cut down trees, built simple fortifications such as antlers and horses, and sent people to climb the slopes on both sides to collect rolling wood and stones for emergencies.
Sure enough, until it was getting late, a team of Bingzhou troops came from the north, and there were nearly 1,000 people in this army and horses, mixed in foot and horse, most of them were cavalry.
Hao Zhao was in the formation, since he got the clues left by the giant deer army that day, he led a song of soldiers to chase south, because he didn't need to walk day and night like the giant deer army, pay attention to concealment, these three days, finally let him chase closer and closer!
This morning, he suddenly received news from the horse in front of him, and found traces of the Julu Army more than 20 miles ahead, judging from the scale, there were about 1,000 people.
After receiving this news, Hao Zhao immediately ordered more than 100 cavalry under his command to catch up at full speed, not seeking to kill the enemy, but only to be able to tightly entangle this enemy!
As soon as Wang De, the commander of the army, heard the letter, he immediately led more than 800 horsemen to arrive, and the brigade of infantry troops was more than 30 miles behind.
The 800 light cavalry ran for half a day, and finally caught up with Hao Zhao's 400 infantry army in the afternoon.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, and the state army began to look for a place to camp along the road, Hao Zhao suddenly found that there was a half-high canyon in front of him, and the terrain along the mountain road was slowly high, with extremely steep slopes of tens of meters on both sides.
"What treacherous terrain!" Hao Zhaole dismounted and couldn't help but take a deep breath, since he had discovered the enemy, the enemy might not have found himself, and most of them had been prepared at this time, so he had been cautious on the march.
At this time, he suddenly saw such a steep terrain, Hao Zhao naturally didn't dare to be careless, he had personally experienced the power of the ironclad army with black tassels on his head, his own side is only more than 1,200 people now, if the giant deer army against him is all the Xuanying ironclad army he encountered before, it is impossible to please him, the seven-foot-long snow-bright sword, the amazing strength of the black-faced man, the thought will make Hao Zhao's heart palpitate.
Hao Zhao was about to send someone to the outpost to investigate, and Wang Dece, a lieutenant in his thirties, immediately stepped forward, glanced at Hao Zhao, pointed to the front with a whip, and asked dissatisfiedly: "It's getting late, why did Hao Quchang hesitate to enter?" ”
Hao Zhao saluted respectfully and said: "Returning to the captain, the last general is sinister in front of him, and he is afraid that there will be an ambush, so he ordered someone to go to the sentinel to investigate." ”
"Humph!" Wang De snorted heavily, and how did Wang De look at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old yellow-mouthed boy in front of him.
Since receiving the news this morning, he has led his eight hundred light horsemen to gallop for more than 30 miles non-stop, you must know that this is a mountain road, even if the cavalry of Bingzhou is good at riding, Wang De also feels indescribable fatigue all over his body.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang De looked around to see if there was a suitable open space for camping, so he camped early to rest, not wanting this hairy boy who had just risen to the top of the song to pretend to be deep in front of him!
"Why is Hao Quchang so suspicious, the enemy soldiers are coming thousands of miles, and they are in a hurry to attack Huguan, how can they still intercept our army here? The army continues on its way, passing through this valley as fast as possible! ”
Although Hao Zhao was bold and careful, he was a young man who had never experienced officialdom after all, and when he saw that Wang De disagreed, he was angry in his heart, and he still insisted on admonishing: "Lord Captain! If the thief army learns the news of our army, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not lead troops to block it. ”
Wang De's eyes widened, and he thought: "You kid doesn't look at who you are, but you are bigger, so you have to stab Lord Shi's favor, and now you have just been promoted to Qu Chang, you don't know the height of the sky, if you are promoted to captain in the future, you still don't ride on Lao Tzu's head?" As soon as he thought of this, he immediately sank and shouted:
"Presumptuous! You are a yellow-haired boy who has not dried up, what art of war do you know, and you have been commanding the army for more than ten years, is it not as knowledgeable as you? Hurry up and march soon, if you say more, don't blame me for curing you of the crime of bewitching the army! ”
A trace of anger flashed in Hao Zhao's eyes, but after all, it was difficult to disobey the order, and he bowed down and responded: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
Wang De snorted disdainfully and urged his subordinates to move on.
Hao Zhao also ordered his subordinates to set off, but the further he went, the more he saw the dry branches on the mountain walls on both sides like monsters with fangs and claws, Hao Zhao felt as if a thousand catties of boulder were pressed on his chest, and he was depressed and breathless! Involuntarily, Hao Zhao slowed down, and gradually fell behind with his own footmen.
Wang De rode on a horse, looking at the narrow mountain road, two or four horses in parallel, the trees on the steep slope that covered half of the sky on both sides were withered, and the strange rocks were craggy, and he couldn't help but feel a little timid, just as he was meeting the command of the corporal to speed up, suddenly there was a noise from the front army, and the sound came back,
"Captain, no! Enemy troops spotted ahead! ”
"What?" Wang De's face changed, he looked at the terrain around him, and recalled Hao Zhao's words, he couldn't help but sweat coldly, and hurriedly turned his horse's head and shouted: "Retreat!" Hurry back! ”
More than 800 riders lined up in a line were chaotic, and there was a sudden burst of human voices on both sides of the slope, only to see countless figures appear on the slopes on both sides, and then, nearly 100 huge stones suddenly rolled down from the top of the slope!
I saw a hundred catties of boulders rolling down the slope, and the earth and stones were all down, bringing a rumbling sound! It's like a gallop of thousands of horses, covering up the noise of people and horses in the valley!
Poof! With the mournful neighing of a war horse, a soldier and a man and horse were hit by a falling boulder, and the sturdy war horse was crushed alive by two front legs, and flew three meters away on the spot! The boulder continued to crush over the horse's belly! Directly ploughed out a bloody hole, and the cavalry was not spared, and was crushed by the fierce boulder, and without even screaming, it was crushed to the ground by the boulder!
Faced with such a situation, many people were dumbfounded on the spot! Forgot about dodging at all! Hundreds of people and horses were hit by boulders, and even people and horses were smashed into pulp! Wang De's face was colorless in the morning, and he retreated sharply from the horse, but the valley road was too narrow, and the eight hundred cavalry trampled on each other, where could he rush out?
