Chapter 490: Ambush

Zhang He's thick eyebrows went into his sideburns, he pointed to the woods in the distance with a big knife in his hand, and said to the deputy general: "You see birds hovering over the woods, but they haven't entered the forest for a long time. As the saying goes, the sky is black and the bird returns to the forest. At this moment, it is almost dusk, but the birds do not enter the forest, why? ”

The lieutenant general is also clever, and can't help but say: "The birds want to return to their nests, but there must be a large number of living people hiding in the forest, which makes the birds dare not return to their nests, so they hover in the air and do not disperse." ”

Scarecrows in the fields can scare birds, let alone living people.

"The general is observant, and the general admires. There must be someone in ambush in the forest, and if it is the last general, it will be ambushed. The lieutenant general sincerely admired Zhang He's insight.

The deputy general was responsible for his duties, and without Zhang He's orders, he immediately sent a team of scouts to sneak through the forest to check the situation.

And Zhang He ordered the whole army to dismount and make a temporary rest.

After a while, the scout brought back accurate information, "There are thousands of people hiding in the forest, or cavalry, look at the banner, it is Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant." ”

White Horse Righteous Servant.

This name is powerful in Youzhou, Zhang He is like thunder, "Hidden in the forest, the war horse is not a little moving, this army under the command of Gongsun Zhan is worthy of being a world-famous cavalry unit." ”

This is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and Zhang He is full of eagerness. This cavalry unit of Gongsun Chan actually ambushed him here, and since he found out, if he could completely annihilate it, it would be a great gain. "Zilong and Wenyuan, they have been following the lord for a long time, and they have many merits, I can't fall behind."

Thinking of this, Zhang He's heart moved, and he had an idea, "Quickly go and fold more grass and willows and tie them to the horse's tail." ”

That is, for more than ten minutes, the Qin army issued an order all over the place, "Re-open." ”

The rolling cavalry entered the middle of the forest road, and the dust that stepped on covered the sky, and only the cavalry at the front could be seen, and all that was left was dust. However, the dust covered the sun, and the momentum was amazing.

In the woods.

The five thousand white horses are silent, the soldiers are silent, and under the precise control, the war horses are also silent. To say that although Gongsun Chan has a cruel personality, he is indeed a good hand at training. These white horse servants did not lose to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Dong Zhuo at all.

Gongsun Xu, who was five short in stature, rode on a tall horse, held a big knife in his arms, and wrote "I'm nervous" all over his face. "General Tian, the Qin army has arrived a long time ago, but it has stopped, did you find our ambush?"

Tian Yu was one of the best generals under Gongsun Zhan, and his abilities were good, but he didn't think that the Qin army had discovered them. After all, they are here, and there is no movement at all. "General Gongsun, don't over-guess, the Qin army's forward gallops for hundreds of miles, and it is a normal military action to routinely restore horsepower."

Gongsun Xu held the broadsword and nodded, he had also been in the cavalry for many years. Knowing that horsepower is the most important thing for cavalry, especially long-distance marches, it is inevitable that the horsepower is insufficient in the event of an accident, and generally after traveling a certain distance, it will rest for a while, but the time decision will not be too long.

There was a anxious wait, but it didn't take long.

"Look, the Qin army is coming over!" Tian Yu pointed out happily.

You don't need to look closely at all, the dust that covers the sky and the sun already says it all.

Gongsun Xu finally showed the joy of being about to succeed in the ambush, but he was still a little nervous. However, the soldiers behind him all showed a desire to fight. The white horse is righteous, and the rewards for military exploits are extremely rich, and one person can make the whole family live a good life. So, these cavalrymen were full of thirst for battle. On the other hand, the Qin cavalry was famous all over the world, and defeating the Qin cavalry was a glory that no cavalry could refuse.

As the Qin army approached, the forest became murderous.

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters, the appearance of the Qin army's forward can already be seen clearly.

Gongsun continued to hold the big knife, he suddenly found that Tian Yu was angry at him, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "General Tian, you come to command." ”

Tian Yu couldn't understand that the fierce Gongsun Zan had such a younger brother, he took over the command without saying a word, poked the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, the time for battle has come, follow me to kill and kill the Qin army!" Kill! ”

Before the words fell, Tian Yu was already in the lead and rushed out of the dense forest.

The five thousand white horses have been silent for too long, and they can't wait. Amid the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the birds hovering in the sky scattered in a hurry.

The torrent of war horses rushing out of the forest crashed head-on into the cavalry vanguard of the Qin army.

Gongsun Xu gritted his teeth, also patted the horse, and rushed out. "Kill, kill, kill, kill all, leave no one!" He came out of the forest and drank violently, suddenly stunned, and then showed ecstasy, "The Qin army is defeated, chase!" ”

Qin Feng was really defeated.

The five thousand white horses were like a bamboo, and without much effort, they defeated the vanguard of the Qin army.

"Not good, there is an ambush in our army!"

"The enemy is too cunning to ambush us here."

"Run!" Qin Jun also reacted quickly, turned around and left.

The Qin army is defeated! The victory came too suddenly for Tian Yu Gongsun Xu. No wonder the sages often said that happiness always comes inadvertently.

Thinking about it, the Qin army has not yet failed. This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can Tian Yu and Gongsun Xu not chase it?

"Chase, chase! Ha, Qin Jun is nothing more than that, what is the eldest brother afraid of? My grandson is too powerful, uh, and General Tian. Gongsun continued to talk nonsense excitedly, and at this moment all the tension in his heart dissipated, and was replaced by the pride of success.

The lord will order the pursuit, or the chase, how can the soldiers not pursue? What's more, the White Horse Followers were attracted by the meritorious rewards and the glory of defeating the Qin army, and they didn't need Gongsun Xu to urge them to chase after each other.

Chasing after him, Tian Yu had a bad premonition.

Tian Yu, as a general in Liaodong, has experienced a hundred battles. Due to the large number of cavalry under Gongsun Zhan, he has experienced a lot of cavalry battles. He has fought too many battles, and he has fought too many ambushes for cavalry. Cavalry and infantry are completely different, not in terms of troops, but in terms of reaction after encountering an accident.

It was very difficult for the cavalry to turn around in a small space, and it was impossible to complete the retreat under an ambush. Just colliding and trampling each other is enough to kill too much. Linzhong Road is a small space. It stands to reason that when Bai Ma Yi defeated the advance of the Qin army, the entire army of the Qin army must be crowded together, thus becoming a lamb to the slaughter.

And after chasing for so long a day, not to mention the crowded enemy army, it is difficult to see the shadow of the enemy army. Only the enemy ran away, covering the dust of the sky and the sun. This made the white horse obedient, as if running in a thick fog. Many soldiers had to cover their mouths and noses to get a clean breath.

The faint sense of foreboding in Tian Yu's heart became heavier and heavier, and he gradually realized that it was very likely that he had been tricked. (To be continued.) )
