Although Yang Zilu admired Fan Li's coping methods, he did not show mercy because of this.

Because the reconnaissance scope of the Yue army has shrunk, Yang Zilu chose a location for the battle very calmly. It is a canyon between two small mountain ranges, but the terrain of the canyon is not dangerous, and the mountains on both sides are only fourteen or fifteen zhang high, and the slope is gentle. The only thing that makes people feel unpleasant is that it has not been destroyed by man, it is densely covered with trees, thorns, and generally such terrain will have miasma.

The small canyon is about twenty-four miles long, Yang Zilu is waiting for Fan Li at the exit of the canyon, different from the gentle canyon, the exit of the canyon is a hill that is not more than ten zhang high, but quite steep. Although it is only ten feet high, the side of the hill facing the exit of the canyon has a slope of 50 degrees, and it is full of thorns.

The terrain is very favorable to Yang Zilu, even if Fan Li sees something wrong, time does not allow him to retreat, and the back and forth of this canyon is equivalent to wasting a day's time of the Yue army. This is the shortcoming of the scout's range of activities to five miles, and many strategic actions are severely constrained. Moreover, Fan Li has to walk an extra sixty miles to detour, which is equivalent to two more days, and the pressure on the supply of baggage has also greatly increased. Yang Zilu believed that Fan Li would eventually have to plunge headlong into the battlefield of his choice, because the food of the Yue Kingdom did not allow him to fight calmly.

Although occupying a favorable location, Yang Zilu was not careless. He chose to clear a small clearing on the hillside and place three hundred longbowmen there. In front of the longbowmen was a large area of thorns, and the Vietnamese soldiers had to move back to the wings in addition to playing crossbowmen. But these Yang Zilu are prepared, if Fan Li chooses to shoot, the height of the hillside will extend the range of the longbow soldiers, and the power of the projectile will be greater.

As for moving back, Yang Zilu had 400 infantry and 100 cavalry on the left flank and 400 infantry on the right flank. Yang Zilu placed the soldiers in the woods at the foot of the mountain, although the woods were not too dense, but they were obviously not suitable for the soldiers who had been lined up neatly to enter, which eliminated the battle formation and discipline that were stronger than the Han State.

A hundred cavalrymen were placed on a wide plain under the mountain to improvise. Although this plain is not very wide due to the characteristics of the typical hilly terrain of Jiangnan. If it is used as a battlefield, it can only allow both sides to throw in 5,000 men to fight, but for a cavalry of no more than 100 men, it is enough for them to maneuver.

As for the Yue soldiers, Yang Zilu believed that as long as the cavalry did not make mistakes, it was impossible for the Yue soldiers to pose a threat to the cavalry. The rugged mountain road made even Fan Li, the coach, leave the military vehicle in Juwucheng. Is it possible that a Vietnamese soldier without a military vehicle can still run a four-legged horse? Thinking of the military vehicle, Yang Zilu couldn't help but smile, and thanked Fan Li with a rare little in his heart, Fan Li was not ready to give up the military vehicle.

He has a unique love for military vehicles in this era, just like the era of developed hot weapons, there are still generals who like to ride horses instead of cars, which is a concept of nearly a thousand years, and it is not so easy to change. Not to mention that there is no market for cavalry in the Central Plains now. So when Fan Li just started, he asked the army to open a road that could be opened to traffic.

The clever Fan Li obviously made a mistake in this matter, along the way, the army opened the road in the mountains and met the water to build bridges, and it was miserable, and the road taken by the military vehicles had to be strictly required. After walking for two days, the terrain of the Han Kingdom was obviously too many mountains and forests, and the few military vehicles under Fan Li's command were really unable to walk, and if they wanted to continue walking, they would have to delay a lot of time to open the way.

Fan Li had to endure the pain to send the military vehicle back to Juwucheng, but he also opened up an eighty-mile road for the transportation of Jiukuibu and Juwucheng. At least the kind that can be opened to traffic, not the mountain trails that were only walkable in the past. However, it saved Yang Zilu a lot of manpower and material resources.

"General, the Han barbarian is blocking the way in front!" Chou Wuyu said to Fan Li.

"I know!" Fan Li said a little angrily, and immediately felt that his tone was too rushed, but he had no choice, as soon as he saw the anger in Yang Zilu's heart, he soared upward. It's really a new hatred and an old hatred, emotionally a rival in love, a competitor in a career, and this hatred is really not ordinarily strong.

Fan Li took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Chou Wuyu with a little apology: "Doctor Chou is sorry!" Fan Li's words just now are really rude! ”

Chou Wuyu was also very angry, but when he heard Fan Li's apology, he nodded hurriedly and said, "The last general also understands the general's anger, in fact, why is the last general?" In the past few days, I have been harassed by the Han barbarians, and I am also holding back a ball of anger in my heart! Please let the general go into battle! To vent the anger in my heart! ”

"Wait!" Although Yu Yong, who had suffered a big loss in the Han Kingdom, was also angry when he saw Yang Zilu, he still said calmly: "Don't worry! Yang Zilu is not an easy enemy to deal with! Anger will only overwhelm your sanity! Now in terms of terrain, our country is at a disadvantage. ”

"Tongue Yong, do you mean to send troops around and go straight to Jiukui City, the capital of the Han barbarians?" Fan Li also had some enlightenment, but he didn't agree.

Fan Li opened his mouth and said: "It's not good, it's too risky!" First of all, Yang Zilu arranged a solo ride at the bottom of the mountain, and it can be seen that he is not unprepared. Wherever we send troops around from there, we will be hindered by the Han barbarian's single horse, who can lead his troops down the mountain. Even I suspect that Yang Zilu will still make a calculation, and we don't know how many troops are stationed in Jiukui City now. In case there are five or six hundred defenders in Jiukui City, Yang Zilu will take the opportunity to intercept our back road, and we will not be able to attack it in three days! In two days, or even if you can't capture Jiukui City in one day, a thousand Yue Guo armor soldiers will collapse! You see, we're only three days of grain now! I went out and consumed all the way, but I'm afraid there wasn't much when I got to Jiukui City! If you have ten days of food, this is not a must-try. ”

Yu Yong frowned and said: "Actually, I think you can give it a try, but it doesn't have to bypass Yang Zilu's army. Insert Jiukui City, but to see Yang Zilu's reaction. If Yang Zilu reacts violently, it will undoubtedly prove that Jiukui City is empty, and we can take the risk of interspersing. Even if he doesn't succeed, he can force Yang Zilu to fight on the plains, and the warriors of Yue Country don't have to fight in the mountains and forests that they are not good at. ”
