Han Jian didn't expect Yang Li'er to fight with him at this time, they only walked out of Luoyang City for dozens of miles after a morning of hurrying and hurrying, how could they fight with the pursuers under the condition of no reinforcements? However, as Yang Li'er said, it is not a way to continue to escape, after all, there is always a time for the pursuers to catch up.

Now we are facing a result, fleeing is death, and staying to fight is also death. With Yang Li'er's resolute character, even if he lives standing up, he doesn't want to die sideways, but Han Jian thinks differently, he thinks, even if he wants to go to war, he must find a suitable terrain, and go to war a little far away from Luoyang City, so as to prolong the time for the imperial court to send the next chasing army.

"The carriage and horses are tired all morning, and the people are also sleepy, and they have no strength to fight, so they should go first." Han Jian said in an unquestionable tone, "Let's move quickly, even if Sun Shaoqian's light cavalry chases fast, it will not catch up until night." In the night, we have a better chance of winning. ”

Originally, Yang Li'er thought that Han Jian didn't know anything about military affairs, and the previous proposal to escape and continue to run away was just to escape for his life. But when she heard Han Jian's idea of taking advantage of the night to start a war, she couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, there seemed to be no reason to refute it.

"Miss Yang, what do you think?" Han Jian asked Yang Li'er for her opinion.

"Feasible." Although Yang Li'er agreed to Han Jian's suggestion, her face still did not improve.

When he got on the horse and was about to leave the Dongwangfu car, Yang Li'er thought to himself that he was just thinking of a reason to run for his life under an excuse. In his heart, he still sneered at Han Jian's military talents.

It's no wonder that Yang Li'er has no one in his eyes, Han Jian is a fledgling after all, before he first went crazy at the palace banquet. No one knew him, so naturally they didn't think he would play conspiracy at that time. But at this time, Yang Li'er also had to admit that she was still inferior to the sinister and cunning Han Jian in terms of using her brain to play conspiracy.

Because the pursuers were approaching, the car had to set off after a short rest. Because the horses were very tired in the morning, the road conditions were not good, and the driving was also worn out, even if they were in a hurry in the afternoon, they could no longer be as crazy as in the morning. Even if the speed of the group was less than half the speed of the morning rush, the number of deserters continued unabated, and the damaged car had no time to clean up, so it had to abandon the roadside. Plus the big bags and small bags of things that were abandoned. It's hard not to leave clues along the way.

The time of Shen is coming to an end, and it is already the time of sunset. Han Jian knew that the group had reached the limit of their physical strength after a day's journey, and had to stop to rest. Judging from the information sent by the sentinels, Sun Shaoqian's light cavalry pursuit team was already more than ten miles away from them. If you don't need to rest, you will be killed in about half an hour.

At this time, the driver and the group were approaching a river that was not too wide. There are some bushes on both sides of the river. But the grove is not dense. According to Yang Li'er's suggestion, the team should cross the river first and build a defense on the other side of the river to resist the cavalry-based pursuers.

Originally, in terms of military strategy. The enemy is outnumbered, and the fatigue is greater than that of the enemy, so it is a good strategy to cross the river and set up defenses, so that the river can be used as an obstacle to resist the impact of the enemy cavalry, so that the cavalry can not play the advantage of being good at fighting in the open plains.

However, Han Jian did not agree with Yang Li'er's strategy, the main problem was that the difference in the number of enemy soldiers was too great, and the preparation time was very hasty, and it was difficult to set up an effective defense after crossing the river. What's even more disgusting is that they are not a pure combat army, there are old and weak women and children behind them who need protection, and a small river can hinder the well-trained Luoyang garrison?

Moreover, the soldiers of the Eastern and Southern Palaces lacked bows and arrows for long-range attacks, so in such a situation, the pursuers had to force their way across the river, and the mere fortifications were useless.

When Han Jian said his concerns, Yang Li'er said angrily: "You don't agree, so what do you think?" ”

"The crossing of the river must be carried out first, but you can't garrison it on the bank of the river, and go directly into the forest." Han Jian said.

Yang Qi'er was very angry when he landed, Han Jian obviously committed a military taboo, that is, he thought that he could use the woods to ambush, but in fact, there is almost no war in history that was won by ambushes in the guò bushes, and there are many examples of being burned by counterattacks.

Yang Li'er didn't even bother to correct Han Jian's mistakes in basic military theory, and resolutely said to the people waiting in the South and East Palaces around her to convey the order: "Cross the river and garrison!" ”

"Yes!" The guards of the Southern Wangfu immediately received the order, but the Dongwangfu side would not obey Yang Li'er's order.

Yang Li'er saw that it was useless to scold the entourage, so she could only glare at Han Jian angrily. Han Jian sighed: "Miss Yang, we are not fighting, we are fleeing for our lives. You don't want to ask your subordinates for everything, okay? ”

"Now that the pursuers are approaching, you told me that it wasn't a march to fight?" Yang Li'er glared at Han Jian and asked.

Han Jian pointed to the white of the wilderness, and then pointed to the already sparse woods, and said, "Miss Yang, I really can't understand, God has given us such a good place to ambush, you are not good at using it, what are you waiting for?" ”

Yang Li'er looked at Han Jian's gesture and suddenly his face froze. There are many things that Han Jian doesn't need to be specifically named, she is not stupid, and some window paper can be seen through at all.

The first snow after the winter has just fallen around Luoyang, and it is a heavy snowfall, although the snow has stopped now, but the weather is gloomy, and there is a little snow during the day, so the snow on the road has not melted. Looking at the entire forest, there is a vast white snow, and it is difficult for such a forest to catch fire. Even if there was a fire, the wind was northwesterly, and the fire extended from the river bank to the southeast, and they could use the fire as a natural barrier to block the pursuers.

"That'...... How to ambush? Yang Li'er was suddenly a little annoyed, and she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of her subordinates, so she had to ask first.

"We set up an ambush in the bushes to see if our pursuers dared to go into the woods and fight. It was really invincible, and it was a big deal that we burned the forest with our own fire and continued to the south. But at this time, it is important to cross the river first, such a cold day, the body is stained with water, and I can't get through this night. ”

Yang Li'er nodded, she finally understood that Han Jian was more prepared than she imagined, and she thought about it very thoughtfully, even thinking about the discomfort of people and animals that would be brought about by passing through a river that had not yet frozen in winter.

Han Jian said this, Yang Li'er also knew that she couldn't be lazy, and hurriedly notified the team that was resting to hurry up and cross the river, and if you want to rest, you have to wait until you enter the woods to rest.

It was not until sunset that the party crossed the river, and by this time the pursuers were less than five miles from the riverbank, and the rumbling of horses' hooves could be faintly heard. Only then did Yang Li'er know how troublesome it was for a ragtag army to cross the river, if she had followed her original plan, it would have taken a lot of time just to cross the river, how could there be time to build fortifications?

Although the procession crossed the river, all kinds of residues were left on both sides of the river, including broken cars, rotten baggage, and even clothes, shoes and socks. What made Yang Li'er feel a little relieved was that all the people who went to the river bank crossed the river along the river, and the rest of the team at this time were basically the backbone of the team, including the guards and soldiers of the East and South Mansions.

When they entered the woods, because they had to set up an ambush and could not bury a fire, except for the soldiers who had to be on standby, the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled were either hiding in the car and shivering, or sheltering in makeshift tents. The whole forest was not dead silent, but there were no human voices, only the occasional chirping of animals, but it was accompanied by the howling north wind.

"What the hell weather." Huang Lie came out of nowhere, because he came from a family of military generals, and the soldiers of the Nanwang Mansion also knew him, so he could also easily approach the temporary command platform formed by Han Jian and Yang Li'er. And Huang Lie didn't come over to see Han Jian and Yang Li'er, let alone complain casually, he wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Yi Die.

Since Huang Lie saw Yi Die last night, he has been looking for an opportunity to try to get close to Yi Die, but unfortunately Yi Die has been riding a horse all the way, and he himself is afraid of the cold, so he is hiding in the car.

"It's okay to go back by yourself!" When Yang Li'er saw Huang Lie, she didn't know the purpose of this cousin's arrival, she only felt that it was no good to see Huang Lie, so she scolded her.

"Cousin, look at what you said, didn't I come over to see if I could help?" Huang Lie said with a smile, and turned to look at Yi Die, but at this time, Yi Die didn't even look at him.

Han Jian rolled up the temporary topographical map of the surrounding area, looked at Huang Lie, and said sternly: "Huang Gongzi, we are arranging candidates for the vanguard, you are so willing to serve the country, why don't you take this errand?" ”

"Huh?" Huang Lie's eyes were about to frighten when he heard this, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile, "I can't even take out my hands that are frozen, so be a pioneer...... Hehe, it's definitely going to die. You continue to discuss, and I'll look elsewhere. ”

Huang Lie said, the three steps under his feet turned into two steps and left, Yang Li'er frowned and glanced at Han Jian, and suddenly felt very weak. In the past, she felt that even if her piano and music attainments were not as good as Han Jian, she was finally more knowledgeable than him, but later she felt that even if her knowledge was not as good as his, she finally understood the military, but now she felt that not only was the military not necessarily better than others, but Han Jian's strategies casually arranged were better than hers, and she could draw a general topographic map at hand, and she was even ready to find mud and sand to pile up the sand table. Now I can't even get rid of this pesky fly. She felt that she might as well find a tree and kill her.

"Pioneer, I'll come." Yang Li'er volunteered.

Han Jian was a little surprised that Yang Li'er would take the initiative to grab the vanguard officer.

"Miss Yang, just kidding, don't take it seriously." Han Jian smiled, "I just want Brother Huang to have some peace." ”

"There is no joke in front of the army, does this ambush war not need the vanguard and the vanguard officer? Who better fit here than me? ”

Han Jian thought for a while and said, "There may really be someone who is more suitable than you." ”

"Who?" Yang Li'er was completely angry, don't I even have the qualifications to be a pioneer officer?

Han Jian smiled and pointed to his nose and said, "That's just a little down." As the king of the east, I personally went to the front line, which will naturally make the soldiers of the East King Mansion more courageous! (To be continued......)
