Chapter 159: Ambush

The night is deep, and a lonely moon is hanging high in the sky.

Under the bleak moonlight, Gao Chu slowly pulled out the horizontal knife and quietly lifted it into the air, and the dense layers of Chu army armor appeared in the quiet artemisia grass behind him, these Chu army armor soldiers were all wearing black scale armor, holding double-edged swords, and the sharp blades reflected a piece of cold cold light under the moonlight, cold and desolate to the point of suffocation.

Ahead, about a thousand paces away, you can already see the light of the fires.

Needless to say, it must be the old camp of the Aries tribe, after looking in the desert for several days, after all, I found the old camp of the damn Aries tribe, and in an instant, the corners of Gao Chu's mouth bloomed with a very hideous killing machine, the general clearly ordered that if the old camp of Aries is broken, it will be beheaded regardless of age or gender!

Gao Chu pushed the horizontal knife in his hand forward again, and the armor soldiers behind him began to move forward slowly.

With the rustling of footsteps, two thousand armored soldiers slowly approached the outside of the old camp of Aries.

When the distance was less than fifty steps, Gao Chu pulled his bow and arrows, only to hear a scream of "sigh", and the two Hu people on the guard tower in the distance had already fallen down, one arrow, only one arrow, Gao Chu shot two Hu people!

Gao Chu's arrow sounded the horn of the Chu army's attack, and in an instant, two thousand armored soldiers roared like beasts in the sky, and then raised their double-edged swords over the low wall, and swept into the old camp of Aries like a tide, and the old and young women and children of the Aries tribe were awakened from their sleep, however, what was waiting for them was......

###########

Jiuyuan, the Hu people have been besieging the city for more than ten days.

King Lou Fu is not stupid, he knows that Jiuyuan City is high and deep, and he knows that the old Qin people have sharp weapons, and if Lou Furen attacks it, he will definitely lose a lot, so he did not drive troops to attack, but only divided his troops to defend the east and north gates, and then let the Aries tribe and the Linhu tribe hold the west and south gates respectively, preparing to trap the old Qin people alive in Jiuyuan City.

At noon on this day, King Lou Fu once again summoned King Aries and King Linhu to drink and feast in the big tent.

The three Hu kings were half drunk, and watched a few songs and dances of the Hu girl, ** Xing Bofa was each hugging a Hu girl to prepare for ****, but a bloody, unkempt Hu man staggered into the big tent, and saw the queen of Aries, the Hu man knelt on the ground, and said miserably: "The king, the old camp, the old camp was attacked......

The Aries King was startled and said sharply: "What did you say, the old camp was attacked? ”

The Hu man nodded again and again, and said in a mournful voice: "Great King, the old Qin people, it was the old Qin people who did it!" ”

"Old Qin?!" The Aries King gasped and lost his voice, "It's bad, no, this king has to hurry back to the old camp, otherwise, our Aries tribe will be finished." ”

With that, the Aries King turned around and was about to leave.

King Lou Fu hurriedly got up to block the way of the Aries King, and said unhappily: "The Aries King, I said that we would besiege Jiuyuan together, and now that the battle has started, how can you just leave?" ”

King Lin Hu also said: "Yes, you are leaving now, what is the matter?" ”

The king of Aries hurriedly said: "This king is different from you, your Loufu tribe and the Linhu tribe cattle, sheep, women and children are all in the army, but the old and young women and children of this king are all left in the old camp, if the old camp is lost, my Aries tribe will be over, no, this king has to take the army to quickly kill back to the old camp, Lou Fu Wang, you get out of the way!" ”

Seeing that the Aries King looked hideous, he was obviously really angry, and the King of Lou had no choice but to get out of the way.

Only then did the Aries King let go of his right hand that was gripping the handle of his sword, and hurried away from the side of the King of Loufu.

Seeing the Aries King leave, King Lin Hu asked sneeringly: "King Loufu, is Jiuyuan still surrounded?" ”

"Wai, of course Wai!" King Lou Fu snorted angrily, "Without the Aries Tribe, we will fight this battle correctly, and in the future, Jiuyuan City will be broken, and the women and children in the city, as well as the equipment of the old Qin people, will not have anything to do with his Aries Tribe, all women, children, and grain and grass equipment, you and I will divide them equally!" ”

King Lin Hu snorted twice and stopped talking.

Xiang Zhuang stood solemnly on a small hill in the wind, trying to identify his surroundings.

When he was a soldier in his previous life, Xiang Zhuang had several times to go deep into the Hetao to participate in field training, and he had a considerable understanding of the terrain of the entire Hetao, but now, he could hardly find the slightest bit of terrain and landform in his memory.

At this time, there was almost no desert in the Hetao.

Standing on the top of the low mountain and looking at it, all you can see is the rugged mountains of Lianyan, all under the mountains are vibrant primeval forests, and between the primeval forests are large areas of rivers and meadows, just by looking at it, you can know that this is an extremely fertile land, no wonder the Huns will be so sad when they lose the Hetao.

Wei Yu took two steps forward and stood behind Xiang Zhuang, and said with emotion: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Of course, Xiang Zhuang knew what Wei Yu was sorry for, and Wei Yu was in a pity, if the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung soldiers and civilians who were forcibly filled in by Qin Shi Huang did not go back, and if the 100,000 Great Wall troops left by Wang Li to Meng Yu were still in the Hetao, then the Chu army would not have to travel thousands of miles back to Jiangdong at all, and would have been able to gain a foothold in the Hetao indirectly.

However, Xiang Zhuang knew very well that even if more than 100,000 Kwantung soldiers and civilians were still there, and even if the 100,000 Great Wall Legion was still there, the Chu army was afraid that it would not be able to gain a foothold in the Hetao, because the south of the Hetao was the Guanzhong Plain, and the north was the increasingly powerful Huns.

As he spoke, a fast horse had already rushed to the top of the hill like a storm.

"General." The soldiers on horseback turned over and dismounted, and bowed their hands, "The Hu people are here!" ”

"Got it." Xiang Zhuang nodded, and then turned back and instructed Jin Xiangdao, "Order all armies, get ready!" ”

"No!" Jin Xiang suddenly agreed, and then turned around and gave an order, and more than a dozen cavalry soldiers had already gone separately.

After a while, Jin Xiang suddenly pointed to the low mountain beam in the northeast, and said to Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yu: "General, military division, Hu Ren is here." ”

Xiang Zhuang turned around when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw a ride rising from behind the mountain beam.

Immediately afterwards, dense layers of Hu Qi came out from behind the mountain beam, and then swarmed down along the mountain beam, and then swept along the river valley to this side, less than an instant, the river valley between the dense forests was already full of dense layers of Hu Qi, and behind the mountain beam in the northeast, Hu Qi was still rising up.

Soon, there was no other sound between heaven and earth, only the rumbling of horses' hooves.

According to intelligence, the Aries tribe has more than 10,000 cavalry at most, but it seems to have 100,000 cavalry!

Looking at the Hu cavalry rushing forward in the valley below the mountain, Xiang Zhuang even had an illusion that the Hu cavalry rushing forward had become a first-class gray torrent, and the mountain bag under his feet had become an isolated island in the torrent.

Xiang Zhuang suddenly realized that when Liu Bang was trapped in Baishan Mountain, the Huns might only have 40,000 cavalry!

Because the interval between the cavalry queues is much greater than that of the infantry, the phalanx of 1,000 cavalry is almost equal to the size of 10,000 infantry, and the Aries tribe only has more than 10,000 cavalry, but it can give people the feeling that there are more than 100,000 cavalry, and Liu Bang, who is trapped on Baishan Mountain, will definitely have the same illusion, and without accurate information, it is easy to mistakenly think that there are 400,000 Hun cavalry.

This can also be explained, why the Huns surrounded Baishan Mountain for seven days and seven nights, but they have not been able to attack, after the follow-up infantry of the Han army continued to arrive, the Huns also took the initiative to retreat, otherwise, with the heroic bearing of Mao Dun, if he really has 400,000 cavalry in his hands, how can he easily let Liu Bang go?

In contemplation, Hu Qi had completely entered the river valley.

At that moment, Xiang Zhuang turned around and instructed Jin Xiang: "Jin Xiang, raise the fire!" ”

"No!" Jin Xiang suddenly agreed, and then turned around and waved suddenly.

More than a dozen soldiers who had been waiting for a long time threw the torches in their hands onto the dry pyre in front of them.

The dry pyre, which had been poured with fierce fire oil, burst into flames, and the rolling flames baked the wolf dung on the top, and soon a puff of wolf smoke rose into the sky.

##########

In the half-human deep artemisia grass, two thousand Chu troops were hiding among them.

Xiao Kai knelt on one knee, bent over and lying in the grass, the expression on his face looked a little grim.

Through the dense grass, the black Hu cavalry was swarming from the river valley in front, the Hu cavalry in front was less than a hundred steps away from Xiao Kai's hideout, Xiao Kai could clearly see the faces of those Hu people, at this moment, Xiao Kai's ears were completely annihilated by the sound of the tide of horses' hooves, and no other sound could be heard.

Suddenly, a dazzling cloud of wolf smoke rose from the top of the mountain on the left.

Xiao Kai stood up for a long time, and then pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist and pushed it forward fiercely!

The two thousand Chu soldiers who were about to suffocate jumped up one after another, picked up the hemp ropes from the grass as fast as they could, and then pulled them back with sudden force, and the next moment, a piece of wooden fence with a sharp tip was erected from the grass, and the rows of sharp wooden stakes slanted towards the Hu Qi who swept in front of them.

When Hu Qi at the front realized that something was wrong, the distance was already too close, and he didn't have time to react.

The next moment, hundreds of Hu horses rushing to the forefront violently hit the rows of sharp wooden stakes, and then even the people and horses were nailed to the wooden stakes, only a few super horsemen jumped high and avoided the wooden fence in the front row, but they were soon nailed to death by the wooden fence in the back row.

The Hu cavalry in front was blocked, and he suddenly stopped irresistibly.

Although these Hu people have lived on horseback since childhood, and their riding skills are all very good, but they have changed in a hurry, one by one still can't react, and in an instant, thousands of Hu horses have collided fiercely, so even if a group of people turn over on their backs, the horses are neighing.
