In the green trees in the mountains, Liu Yu was condescending, using a pen to briefly outline a piece of terrain in front of him on paper.

Between the two mountains is the clear stream of Kwai Shui, but the width of Kwai Water did not fill the open space between the two mountains, leaving a gentle valley on the river bank, and it was precisely this valley that gave Liu Yu's madness a chance to be unleashed.

"Should I gamble my life in such a world that doesn't belong to me?"

Liu Yu looked up at the sky, his gaze slightly darkened. It was already dusk on the 7th of March, and the time for the possible arrival of the Turkic cavalry was getting closer, and the basic fortifications had been completed with days and nights, and the various pits had been set up, but the traps still needed to be camouflaged with planks and a layer of earth.

Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu had already set off before noon, one to the west and the other to the north, to complete their respective tasks.

Liu Yu looked into the distance, and there was silence.

"Brother Liu, some materials are difficult to muster, needless to say, gunpowder, now it seems that the amount of tung oil is far less, and there are arrows, these are not available in a short time."

Li Mi has been in charge of the procurement of materials for the past few days, as if he has become a quartermaster, and he has been busy for a few days, and he looked tired when he arrived behind Liu Yu.

"If tung oil is scarce, the focus is still on our traps, after all, there is only some thatch on the riverbank, which is easy to burn." Liu Yu, as the commander of this ambush, must take into account all aspects, "The mountains and forests only need to use tung oil and gunpowder as a guide, the wind is not small these days, and the fire can completely plunge the entire mountain forest into a sea of fire when the wind blows." ”

"What about the arrows?"

"The arrow can be made by itself, cut with bamboo, without arrows, only need to wrap the part of the arrow with cloth, dip it in tung oil, and shoot it directly after igniting it, and the weight must be required to prevent the range from being insufficient."

Li Mi hurriedly went to prepare again, and Liu Yu also drew a map of the pre-war terrain, which was the first thing he did seriously in more than a year. I didn't expect it to be so vigorous.

When Liu Yu saw the "masterpiece" he had created, he couldn't help but laugh at himself: "The Macedonian defense line ...... Could it be that the bamboo basket is empty? ”

…………

On March 8, the sun had just begun to show its head, and the camp in the back valley had already begun to open. The craftsman who has been busy all night will come back to rest, and the craftsman who has rested all night will take over.

A fast horse galloped into the valley, Qi Fang, his clothes completely broken, his body with many abrasions, unkempt, and when he reached the side of the house, he almost rolled off his horse.

"Liu Shenzuo......" Qi Fang gasped sharply, and when he saw Liu Yu, he pounced, "Turkic cavalry...... 30,000 people...... It's less than a hundred miles away......"

Qi Fang obviously didn't rest for a day and a night, and his whole body was still trembling. I can't imagine how he could find such news in front of the incomparably sharp Iron Wolf Guard. I'm afraid that I will have to be motionless for several hours in the thorns, and I will have to pass the news back faster than the Turkic iron cavalry advances.

"It's hard for you." Liu Yu patted Qi Fang's shoulder and said.

Liu Yu estimated that the advance speed of the Turkic cavalry was 150 to 200 li per day, which means that the time when the Turkic cavalry arrived at the ambush point was basically in the afternoon.

"Three hours."

The Turkic cavalry still arrived earlier than expected, and the finishing touches of the fortifications were not yet completed, but that was the only way.

"Pass the order, all the people will immediately organize the evacuation, and the townsmen and the cavalry we brought are all ready to fight!"

As the herald spread the news, those originally listless villagers and people suddenly seemed to explode, and they had been doing something incomprehensible to them for the past few days, saying that they were suppressing bandits, and they didn't even see the appearance of a bandit until now.

The whole back valley was noisy.

"Silence them!" Liu Yu assigned people to maintain order. At this time, another fast horse galloped into the valley, and the man on the horse was prostrate on the horse, and if it were not for someone to pull the reins of the horse, no one on the horse would have the strength to hold the reins of the horse.

It's Zhang Wuzhu.

His mission was to go north to contact the daughter army, but he didn't expect that the situation after he came back was even more serious than Qi Fang, and the whole person was dying.

"Fuck it...... Lao Tzu met a Turkic soldier...... I use all the energy to breastfeed...... Finally killed him......" After drinking the water, Zhang Wuzhu felt a little more energetic.

"Have you contacted the Daughters?" Liu Yue looked at him with a strong look.

Zhang Wuzhu showed a look of regret on his face: "No...... Road to the north...... It has been blocked by the Turkic cavalry...... Their whistle is retreating south...... It should have been forced back by the daughter army's southward movement. ”

Liu Yu originally wanted to join forces with his daughter army to break the enemy, but now it seems that he can only bite the bullet without support.

"Gather all the lieutenants and above to the big house, including the centurion of the village, for a pre-battle meeting!"

…………

Inside the big house.

There are a total of twenty-six people, and they are the backbone of this ragtag army.

This first pre-war mobilization meeting was also the last. They had been informed in advance of the enemy they were going to face, and it was because of the danger of this battle that everyone chose to remain silent at this time.

"What are you doing? Can't I go in too? In front of the door, the female rider who rescued her the day before yesterday shouted at the doorman with an arrogant attitude.

The makeshift hut had no door panels, so Liu Yu walked to the door and said, "Girl, we have to discuss how to suppress the bandits, and you should avoid it." ”

Seeing Liu Yu, the female rider's tone was even heavier: "I, Lu Chu'er, the deputy leader of the dignified daughter's army guard, and the former captain of the Zhengwupin Palace, are I not qualified to come to the audit?!" ”

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, this Lu Chu'er is only a teenager, because he is the guard of the commander of the daughter's army, he is already a fifth-grade officer, several levels higher than Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu.

"Since it's Captain Lu, then please come in."

Lu Chu'er entered the big house, and stood in front of him with a vigorous momentum, and the pre-military meeting officially began.

"There's nothing to say." Liu Yu looked around at everyone, and his tone was peaceful, "If you win, you will be prosperous." If you lose, you will die. Today, no superfluous words will help. Now, I'm starting to assign people, and if I get to the name, I'm going to take a step forward. ”

"Wait!" Lu Chu'er suddenly interrupted Liu Yu's words and glared at Liu Yu with a compelling gaze, "Do you need such a big battle to suppress bandits?" Or do you have ulterior motives? ”

Liu Yu ignored it and continued to assign tasks: "Qi Fang, you lead all 286 cavalry to ambush in the northeast of the valley, once the enemy army passes through the ambush point, you will cover and kill." Thou shalt not fight, thou shalt not chase the enemy. ”

"Command!"

"Li Mi, seven hundred and thirty village warriors are in charge of you, ambushed in the thorn forest at the bottom of the mountain, with blue fireworks as the signal, the crossbowmen shot rockets at the ambush point. The thrower throws the firecracker. ”

"Command!"

"Sui Yi, you led twenty villagers to ambush in the woods on the hillside, and with the red fireworks as the signal, you immediately lit the fuse in the woods and set fire to the forest!"

"Command!"

Liu Yu gradually assigned the details clearly, such as the direction from which the burning of the forest began, and what should happen if the enemy fled to the other side of the river. At the end, Liu Yue said sharply: "Everything today is with blue fireworks as the first wave of attack signals, and no one is allowed to move before that." Anyone who does not obey the military order and flees before the battle will be beheaded before the battle! ”

"Order!" The whole room resounded with a uniform voice.

Only Lu Chu'er, with a little incredulity and a little loneliness, said to himself: "It turns out that you want to resist the Turkic Iron Wolf Guard......

…………

When they came out of the house, the people outside did not disperse. On the contrary, it seems to be a whole army.

"What's going on? Didn't you let the evacuation? Liu Yu said to Li Du, the county lieutenant in charge of the evacuation of the people.

Li Du said with a sad face: "Mr. Liu, these people heard that they were going to fight the Turks, and none of them wanted to leave. They all said to stay and help. ”

"Help?" Liu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Even if you really have a heart, where is the weapon?" ”

"We don't use weapons." A thin young man in his twenties walked up among the people, with a pair of eyes rolling wildly, not necessarily very serious on weekdays, but at this time he looked like a bloody man, "Those group of dog-day Turks have long been skinned by them, and few people in our village who have been to the border in the past few years can come back." This time they dared to kill under our noses, how can we swallow this breath? ”

"Yes, yes......" The man behind him held up the shovel and pestle and echoed.

"What's your name?" Liu Yu asked.

"Me? What's the name of Mao Dan, everyone in the village calls me Danzi! ”

There was laughter among the people, and the name "the more vulgar the longer", the countrymen have long been accustomed to it, but they still joke about each other's names.

Liu Yu turned to look at the people and shouted: "Now, all the only sons in the family, those who have not yet married and had children, the old and infirm, the women and children, and those who are afraid of death must return to the city with Li County Lieutenant, and all those who stay must obey He Maodan's command." If they flee before the battle, disobey military orders, and delay fighters, they will be punished according to military law. ”

Although these more than 1,000 people have little combat effectiveness, it is more than enough to clean up the battlefield and clean up the fish that have been caught in the net.

…………

Noon on March 8. With the deafening sound of iron cavalry footsteps, the Turkic cavalry finally approached Kwai Shui.

And almost at the same time, the red military flag of the Daughter Army can be seen in the north, and it is also approaching Kwai Shui in the south.

The Turkic iron rode through the Tong Pass without attacking, playing cat and mouse with hundreds of thousands of pursuers for more than ten days, and was finally caught up by the first cat. The location is right on the banks of Kwai Shui.

Liu Yu, Li Mi and Su Yan are in the thorn forest of Xiangyong, where they can see the situation within a radius of ten miles from a high point and the sun shines on the field.

The Daughter Army and the Turkic Iron Cavalry did not launch an offensive at the first intersection, on the contrary, the Turkic Iron Cavalry was on the south bank, and the Daughter Army was on the north bank, and the two sides began to camp about five miles apart. The camp of the Turkic iron cavalry was less than five miles from the ambush site of the Kwai Water Road.

Everything is under the nose.

The number of Turkic cavalry was about 30,000, but it was divided into two battalions, one of which had about 20,000 men. This Turkic cavalry is not only the Turkic Iron Wolf Guard, although the Iron Wolf Guard is fierce, but after all, the selection is strict, and it is the Turkic "Royal Forest Army", the number is scarce. Although the other 20,000 people are not as strong as the Iron Wolf Guard, they are also the leaders selected from the Turkic invasion border army, and their combat power cannot be ignored.

The daughter's army is also an all-round cavalry, with the same number as the Turkic iron cavalry, but its combat power is far inferior. One side is the best among women, and the other side is a wrestler among men, and there is a big gap in terms of physical strength, although the formation can be perfected, but the natural body capital cannot make up for it.

The Turkic camp, the daughter's army camp, and the ambush point are all triangular in shape, and they are all about five miles apart.

Although the Turkic cavalry was temporarily stationed, they could camp and attack at any time, and Liu Yue believed that they did not want to leave the daughter army as a trailing cat after passing through the Taihang Mountain, and the Turkic cavalry would inevitably have a battle with the daughter army before passing through Kuishui. The daughter's army is more auspicious and less auspicious.

Originally, more than 1,000 people who were ambushed in front of the mountain could still contain part of the combat power of the Turkic cavalry, but Liu Yue knew that today's ambition was not here, and once the target was exposed, not only would he not be able to help the daughter army, but he was also likely to accompany the daughter army to annihilate the whole army.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
