Chapter Twenty-Six: Ambush

"Huo Yi acted in danger to seek stability, like the battle of Jingnan, his people consumed Lu Meng's army for a long time, making him lose his will to fight, but he was not in a hurry to hand over the army, and it was not until the last moment that he struck out and destroyed it. Yiguan this person, very important to the art of war, now Brazil to the north of the two roads, one is to go to the south of the countryside first, and then take the south Zheng road; One is to go straight to Nanzheng! ”

Sima Yi paused, looked at Cao Cao, who was deep in thought, and said: "Although Huo Yi is very likely to go straight to Nanzheng, as Wang Zijun said, I am afraid that this Huo Yi does not know that there is a Nanshan Trail that can lead directly to Nanzheng, and this worry does not exist." But Yi still thinks that Huo Yi has a great possibility and goes straight to Nanzheng! Therefore, the prime minister can order Nan Zheng Shou to guard Zhao Tingshi carefully! ”

Cao Cao's slender eyes swept over Sima Yi, and his face was gloomy: "Zhongda, how do I think what you said may be the sneak attack path chosen by Huo Yi, from the ditch to the north, cross the Nanshan Trail, and go straight to Nanzheng!" If this is the case, it will be too late to send an urgent order for 800 miles. In this way, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect Hanzhong......"

Sima Yi was also very worried, his eyes swept over the old and majestic figure in the hall, slowly lowered his head, and sighed silently.

Zhao Hao, who was appointed by Cao Cao as the assassin of Yizhou, sat on the Taishou Mansion in Southern Zhengcheng and carefully checked the amount of summer grain reported by each county in Hanzhong. The war in Hanzhong was tight, and the grain and grass of the whole county and the heavy grain and grass transported from Guanzhong were in Hanzhong City, and the number was extremely large, enough for 30,000 soldiers in Hanzhong to eat for a year, plus some ordnance baggage, and the entire warehouse in Nanzheng was full.

According to the usual practice, there are still three days left, and General Xiahou's grain team will come to Nanzheng to transport grain to Dingjun Mountain, and he must prepare the grain supply in advance, so as not to make mistakes in the hurry.

Nanzheng's subordinate officials and soldiers are all busy, even if they are as shrewd as Zhao Hao, they would not have thought that they would be within a hundred miles of them. Huo Yi's men and horses were already ambushed in the dense forest on the side of an official road.

Ye Jiong's intelligence ability is indeed very sharp, that is, the time of the arrival of the grain transportation team is clear, which makes Huo Yi very surprised. With such information in hand, Nan Zheng Zaicheng has a thick wall and is solid, and he is sure to take it. Huo Yi's plan was established, so he only waited for Shen Tuqiang's letter, at this moment Shen Tuqiang was leading a team of scouts to explore the enemy at the official road from Dingjun Mountain to Nanzheng, and as soon as the grain transport team set off, he immediately sent a letter to inform Huo Yi.

Huo Yi was just waiting for the arrival of the grain transport team at the moment. Then attack and kill, and then pretend to be it, earn the Nanzheng City Gate, and then wave the army to cover the killing, and the armies follow. Defeat Nanzheng in one fell swoop.

Two days later, Huo Yi finally waited for Shen Tuqiang's letter. The enemy's food convoy will arrive today. Immediately command all armies to ambush and enter position according to the established strategy.

Since beating Wang Ping, he left. Wang Tong, who was originally a lieutenant of the rear army, took on Wang Ping's vacancy, although the captain who was in charge of the food and grass of the army was extremely important, and even a fat shortage, but after all, there were fewer opportunities to make contributions, and Wang Tong was full of resentment towards his own Wang Ping.

lazily led more than 1,000 rear army baggage soldiers, driving hundreds of carriages to Nanzheng slowly. It was nearly noon, and the summer heat was a little sad. Wang Tong sat on his horse, his eyes were far away, and a sentry horse who was exploring the way ran back: "General." Three miles ahead, there is a dense forest where you can rest! ”

Wang Tong nodded: "Order, speed up, rest when you get to the place, and leave after noon!" ”

"Whoa!" The whole army was thunderous, after all, the weather was hot, and it was extremely comfortable to have a dense forest to rest.

At this moment, the official road from Nanzheng to Yangping Pass and Dingjun Mountain was already surrounded by Huo Yi's men and horses. Huo Yi divided the men and horses into five teams, a team of 800 people led by Han Ping to the south, ambushed in an official road, and let him come when the grain transport team arrived; Huo Yi led a team of 2,000 men and horses to ambush the middle section, and as soon as the food team arrived, he would attack it and kill and injure its vital forces; Guan Xing led a team of 800 people to ambush the northern section in case anyone escaped and went to Nanzheng to report the news after the grain transport team was attacked.

Ye Zhi and Zhao Tong each led a group of men and horses to patrol both sides of the official road to prevent any fish from escaping.

Huo Yi's sergeants lay in ambush in the dense forest, and each sergeant covered his armor with leaves to hide his whereabouts. Just when Huo Yi and the others were upset, the sound of people and horses in the distance was thundering, and about a thousand soldiers slowly walked here. The leader will wear white armor and a white horse mount.

Huo Yi crooked his mouth, it's really a, I'll shoot you first in a while!

The soldiers in the dense forest were already a little eager to try, and Huo Yi saw the flag commander beside him looking at him tightly, afraid of missing his order. Huo Yi smiled at him and signaled him not to be nervous.

When the group of men and horses arrived in the dense forest, they actually stopped, and the more than 1,000 soldiers dismounted one after another, or fixed the frame, or found trees to tie the horses, and each looked for water bags and dry food, and the whole team walked towards the dense forest.

Huo Yi smiled secretly in his heart, God really helped me, originally Huo Yi's team didn't practice a single horse, but now these more than 1,000 sergeants actually sent a lot of horses, which really made him happy.

The more than 1,000 Cao soldiers and the royal commander, where would they have thought that less than 100 miles behind Dingjun Mountain and less than 60 miles away from Nanzheng can be described as an extremely safe place, and there would be an elite Shu army hidden?

Wang Tong just sat down, the spear in his hand had just been put down, and he took the dry food handed by the guards, but suddenly found a little cold from far and near, what is it? This was Wang Tong's last consciousness, and the next moment, a white feather arrow drilled into his eyebrows.

Huo Yi's crossbow arrow immediately attracted the army, and hundreds of feather arrows drilled out of the dense forest and shot at the armor of the Cao army who had not yet reacted at various tricky angles. The screams instantly resounded in the dense forest.

Huo Yi was not in a hurry, and divided the soldiers into three teams, two teams from both sides, and one team in front shot a round of feather arrows, drew his sword and held the halberd and went straight to the remnants of Cao Jun.

There were those who reacted quickly, or the soldiers who guarded the carriages of the horses on the official road, tore the reins of the bolts, and galloped wildly. But dozens of them ran. Huo Yi knew that there were his own ambushes around, so he didn't care about it, and he didn't chase it.

The battle came quickly and ended quickly, except for more than a dozen living wounds that were deliberately left behind, and the more than 1,000 soldiers were all killed. The soldiers had already begun to clean up the battlefield.

There was no need for Huo Yi's orders, there were already soldiers in the scout camp who were in charge of interrogating the prisoners and questioning the prisoners.

Huo Yi was still commanding the sergeants under his command to change into Cao Jun's uniform, and a sergeant dressed as the scout battalion Dubo stepped forward: "The scout battalion is Bo Yuzheng, general!" ”

Huo Yi nodded, and Yu Zheng said: "It's already been interrogated, and what I said is pretty much the same!" It is said that it is a grain transport soldier to Nanzheng, and the chief officer is Wang Tong, a military captain after the military academy! It's the first time I've been in charge of the food team! The predecessor was a lieutenant named Wang Ping. ”

Huo Yi nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with the result, and after a short time, all the sergeants who were ambushed everywhere returned.

Huo Yi changed into the costume of the royal commander and rode the white horse, but he also had a bit of the heroic spirit of a white-robed young general, but it was too eye-catching, and this thing was not afraid of becoming a live target on the battlefield? Turning over the pockets on the king's horses, there should be all the letters, but it saved Huo Yi a lot of trouble.

Huo Yi picked up the soldiers who had changed into Cao Jun's uniform, picked up the frame of the horses, and headed for Nanzheng.

Han Ping led the generals and led the remaining armies to follow Huo Yi's pretended Cao army, away from the official road, and moved to Nanzheng under the cover of people's eyes. (To be continued......)
