Chapter 352: The road is narrow

After marching three hundred miles to the west, Mu Zhan ordered the army to stop and begin to rest in its place, because a valley appeared in front of him, and if he wanted to continue the march, he had to cross this valley. Now they don't have the information of the "iron suit" as a reference, and because the whereabouts of the "iron suit" are exposed, they can't be careless.

"Your Highness, how shall we go?" Mu Zhan asked Ji Qingchen softly. This road is related to whether they can meet the army of mulberry bears, and whether they can smoothly get rid of the entanglement and pursuit of mulberry bears, and it is not for him to be the master alone.

"There is only one road ahead, and there are no pursuers behind us, so Mulberry Bear's pursuers must be waiting for us in front and want to intercept us." Ji Qingchen pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, are you familiar with the terrain of this valley?" ”

"Not very familiar, but our scouts have only scouted a few times, but they haven't gone deeper, the valley road is narrow, the cliffs on both sides are not high, and the terrain at the mouth of the valley is very open, which is conducive to cavalry charging." Li You explained to Ji Qingchen in detail. He was personally responsible for the scout's information.

"Uncle Wang, since this valley is so dangerous, do we still want to move forward?" Ji Xuanyuan asked, he was a little puzzled, he felt that with the current situation of the army, it was not easy to continue the march, everyone's physical consumption was very serious, and after losing a war horse, the knights who only had one war horse were a little unsuitable for the current rapid march, if they marched so quickly, and encountered the army of mulberry bears, the physical consumption of everyone and the horses was too large, and it would be a problem in the first battle.

"We are cavalry, and most of the men and horses of Mulberry Bear are foot soldiers, they have not trained riding before, this time only after getting our 30,000 war horses did they hastily have 30,000 cavalry, so the improvised cavalry is also considered cavalry? Our long-distance run is consuming our own physical strength, but the same mulberry bear is chasing us, and they are following us closely, so why not consume our physical strength? And their foot soldiers, the physical exertion is definitely more serious than ours. Therefore we simply keep marching, and do not listen to them to lead them after us. By the time our physical strength is almost exhausted, his army of 70,000 is probably about to collapse, and when the time comes, we will use the advantage of cavalry to give them a heavy blow, and it will be enough to annihilate them completely. Ji Qingchen said lightly.

It's a countermeasure he came up with along the way.

Since Sang Xiong has the help of the "iron suit", he is reluctant to chase after himself. Why don't you just take the plan, use the long-distance attack to drag down the army of the mulberry bear, and then fight back to solve the mulberry bear?

Mu Zhan understood his thoughts immediately after Ji Qingchen finished talking about his tactics, Li Youye's eyes lit up after Ji Qingchen finished talking about his tactics, and Ji Xuanyuan thought about it for a while, and it became clear what Ji Qingchen was doing this for.

Suddenly, the eyes of the three of them looking at Ji Qingchen were not only admiration, but also a layer of fear.

Because they only saw Ji Qingchen's strength today, they found that Ji Qingchen's most powerful thing is not the use of cavalry warfare, but how to defeat the enemy with his disadvantage after he is at a disadvantage, so that the enemy can be defeated again. Just like Ji Qingchen said, as long as Sang Xiong does this, when Sang Xiong's army is dragged down to defeat, it is estimated that Sang Xiong will not know how he was defeated.

Seeing that the three of them understood what they meant, Ji Qingchen ignored the fear in the eyes of the three of them, but said lightly, "Keep marching!" ”

"No!" Mu Zhan received the order and ordered the army to continue marching into the valley!

……

In the valley, Sang Xiong was arranging tactics for the army, and just before that, he closely followed the trail of Ji Qingchen's army, and finally arrived here before Ji Qingchen reached the valley.

Because he was shot half a life by Ji Qingchen with an arrow in the last battle. Therefore, he held a grudge against Ji Qingchen in his heart, plus Ji Qingchen now only had 20,000 cavalry around him, he had an army of 70,000, and he also got 30,000 war horses to form a cavalry, and the number of Ji Qingchen was several times that of Ji Qingchen, so he wanted to kill Ji Qingchen even more.

Who called Ji Qingchen so famous? Who called Ji Qingchen the king of Great Yan and the Optimus Prime of Great Yan? As long as you can kill Ji Qingchen, this is even greater than the credit of capturing Dayan's King's Landing City!

Because Duan Hu and Lan Yu had died in battle, there were not many generals available to Sang Xiong now, but Xin An had become the chief general who could lead an army, which was recognized by Sang Xiong and placed in the most important position to deal with Ji Qingchen this time.

"Xin An, the task of facing the enemy head-on will be handed over to you!" Sang Xiong said that he was going to give Xin An 30,000 foot soldiers and let him deal with Ji Qingchen in the front, while he himself led 40,000 foot soldiers from both wings into the battlefield and killed Ji Qingchen on three sides.

There is only one road in the valley leading to the mouth of the valley, and the entrance in front is six miles away from here, as long as Ji Qingchen's army rushes here, it is impossible to retreat, so he just continues to advance. And he asked Xin An to meet Ji Qingchen at the exit, and he led 40,000 foot soldiers to ambush on both sides of the valley, in addition to condescendingly using bows and arrows and stones to attack, as long as Xin An at the mouth of the valley intercepted Ji Qingchen, he could lead the army to rush down and kill.

In this way, he can defeat Ji Qingchen's army in one battle and kill Ji Qingchen at the mouth of the valley.

Of course, this arrangement may allow Ji Qingchen to find an opportunity to rush out, after all, Taniguchi's 30,000 army is intercepted, and the strength is not weak, but the generals and combat effectiveness are a little difficult to compliment. But for the sake of his own safety, Sang Xiong can only arrange it like this, and now facing Ji Qingchen is the most important thing for Sang Xiong.

When Sang Xiong led the army to deploy to both sides of the valley, prepared dry firewood, boulders and other things, and prepared them, Xin An at the mouth of the valley was riding on his horse with a gloomy face, his eyes were a little afraid, and he was also a little sharp and stared at the depths of the valley in a daze.

He was assigned such a task by Sang Xiong, but he was afraid of Ji Qingchen in his heart, and he had no choice but to nod his head and accept his life if he wanted to refuse.

But deep down, Xin An still wanted such an opportunity.

Because as a scout captain, as Lingnan's spy leader in Dayan, to put it bluntly, these positions are not very visible, no matter how good you do, but once something goes wrong, you are the scapegoat.

Therefore, Xin An also wanted to use such an opportunity to gain military merits, and wanted to be promoted to an official and a dignified general, or a party chief.

So even if today's mission is dangerous, he is willing to give it a go. After all, the current Ji Qingchen is also very embarrassed, and he is no longer the Ji Qingchen who used to have 130,000 iron horses.

Just when Xin An was thinking this, he saw six fast horses rushing in front of him, which was the scout he sent to investigate the enemy.

"General Hui, we found Ji Qingchen's army at the mouth of the valley, and they are rushing towards us-" The scout said, a little fear in his eyes, he had already been killed by Aomine's horse.

"How far is it from us?" Xin An was a little nervous, and asked very nervously in his heart.

"There is still a distance of six miles, and it will take about half a pillar of incense." The scout replied cleanly.

The distance of six miles and the time of half a pillar of incense are enough for Xin An to make a deployment. But after listening to the scout's words, he did nothing, but continued to order the scout to reconnoiter the enemy. Because Xin An knew very well in his heart that for Ji Qingchen, who used cavalry warfare to be superb, the terrain at the mouth of the valley was so open, and all the deployments were paper tigers, and the only advantage of his side now was to use the number of people on his side, and then use the bows, arrows, stones and other equipment on both sides of the valley to win.

"Pa-da-pa-"

After half a pillar of incense, the sound of horses' hooves came from the valley.

And hearing this sonorous sound of horses' hooves, the nerves of Xin'an and Lingnan infantry in Taniguchi tensed. Because their great enemy, Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, and his iron cavalry arrived.

However, just as Xin An was about to order the army to charge and kill, Aomine stopped when he was two miles away from them.

The mulberry bears on both sides of the valley were about to give the order to attack when the Qingfeng Rider rushed in front of him, but he found that the Qingfeng Rider had not yet entered his ambush circle, so he stopped marching, and his nerves tightened, could it be that he was found in an ambush on both sides of the valley?

"Uncle Wang, do you have anything to order?" Stopping at the front of the Qingfeng ride in the valley, Li You asked Ji Qingchen. He decided that it was not safe for the army to stop here.

"Mulberry has ambushes on both sides of the valley, and we have to find a way to break him." Ji Qingchen said in a low voice. Because such a valley, not far from the valley floor, the ambush of archers and the attack of stones and wood are very lethal.

"Uncle Wang, what do you think we should do?" Ji Xuanyuan asked.

He didn't expect that his side didn't send scouts to investigate, but how did Ji Qingchen know that there was an ambush on both sides of the road? It's just that no matter what Ji Qingchen says, it's right, and he doesn't doubt what Ji Qingchen said.

"We have sent six thousand men to serve as archers to stay here and stand by, and as soon as the army rushes into the valley, the ambushes of the mulberry bear on both sides will attack our army. And the task of our archers is to immediately release their arrows when they find that the ambushes of the bears on both sides of the valley are trying to attack our army, so that they do not succeed in their plot to attack our army, and we must use our bows and arrows to suppress their ambush and create an opportunity for the brothers who rushed into the valley. Ji Qingchen said.

"No!" Mu Zhan and Li You, as well as Ji Xuanyuan, received the order.

However, who stayed here to lead 6,000 men and horses as archers, and who followed Ji Qingchen to rush and kill together, the three of them whispered for a while, and finally decided to leave the seriously injured Ji Xuanyuan to lead 6,000 archers to standby, and the other two rushed out of the valley with Ji Qingchen and led 16,000 people to kill a bloody road.

As soon as the three of them made their decision, as soon as the order of Mu Zhan was issued, the six thousand men and horses divided into a large army and formed an independent army, standing on both sides of the valley and ready for battle.

And Mu Zhan and Li You followed Ji Qingchen and led the army to kill the enemy at the valley mouth.
