Chapter 209: Trouser Belt
The 20,000 iron horsemen of the cavalry battalion immediately abandoned their horses and armor and rushed to the interior of the canyon on foot, but the continuous stone walls in front of them blocked their way, and the soldiers circled along the stone walls, but did not find any way out.
The so-called canyon is actually a dead end with only entrances and no exits, like a gourd mouth, as long as you go in, don't think about finding other ways to break through.
Knowing this, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion had to obediently drill inside.
Outside is the encirclement of tens of thousands of legions, the number is immeasurable for the time being, this is their only hope of survival, but they never thought that they fell into the trap, if there are no reinforcements, they can only wait for death.
Jiang Feng's tent had a high-precision war sand table, with an error of no more than two millimeters, and the terrain and landforms within a radius of hundreds of miles were all placed in front of him, and he was originally deliberately driving Pan Yue into the canyon.
The entrance was blocked with 5,000 shield soldiers, and flags were planted on the cliffs at both ends.
Seeing this, Pan Yue only dared to occupy the high ground to defend, and did not dare to forcibly break through, and there was still a glimmer of life in the defense, and the breakthrough might be wiped out.
"Xiang Yu, you immediately lead two thousand Suo Qi light cavalry to cover Long Yun's retreat from Heming Peak, make way for Murong Hao's Beifu army, and let them come over. ”
After all, the Xiaocai Battalion is the trump card of the forbidden army, the descendant of the lineage, and the Beifu Army can only be regarded as a princely force at best, and its status is not at the same level at all.
If Pan Yue asked for help, Murong Hao didn't dare not come to reinforcements.
In the evening of the same day, Pan Yue used to pass the book with flying pigeons, and was intercepted by the Winged Terran halfway, this time Jiang Feng did not do anything, and directly released the pigeons, and the letter paper was sealed with a special seal, if it was dismantled without authorization, it was easy for Murong Hao to notice the abnormality.
The content of the letter does not need to be guessed, you can guess the approximate situation, it is nothing more than wanting the Beifu army to rush to the aid of Qinling Town.
"Winged Terran, pass my order, let Frost Yi and the Mole out of the pass, the wizard group will set up a swamp illusion on the plain forty miles away from Qinling Town, and the Tubai tribe is responsible for hollowing out the soil below the illusion, causing the effect of devouring. ”
Jiang Feng looked at the war sand table, and said with a slight bow: "Luofengpo, good name, if Shuangyi and the mole can successfully deceive the Beifu army, then they can only pass through this sheep intestine path, and after they enter Luofengpo, Chu He, you lead the remaining Longqiang arrow array, set up an ambush at both ends of the cliff, and the shield soldiers go around to block the retreat, and wait until the arrow array is over, and then the Suo Ji light cavalry is responsible for the pursuit, and the Beifu army will be wiped out in one fell swoop." ”
"Your Highness, why are you so confident?
Chu He frowned and continued: "Arrange all the troops in Luofengpo, what about you? If you stay in Qinling Town, there are only 5,000 shield soldiers left around you, and Pan Yue has 20,000 iron cavalry under his command? What if the Xiao cavalry battalion takes the opportunity to break through?"
"There is no such possibility, as long as I am still in Qinling Town, Pan Yue will not dare to break through without authorization, so let's do it according to my arrangement. ”
The surprise attack on Qinling Town, this move greatly dampened Pan Yue's self-confidence.
Seeing the flags fluttering outside, Pan Yue didn't dare to act rashly, he only dared to stay where he was, wait for the help of the Beifu army, and then attack from both sides, at present, this is the wisest choice.
After Murong Hao received the secret letter, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, hundreds of thousands of troops pressed on Heming Peak at the same time from all directions, and after occupying the peak, he found that the Longqiang Arrow Array stationed there had already fled.
"Strange, when did the garrison at the summit retreat? There was not the slightest trace, not even the vegetation in the mountains and forests that had been destroyed. ”
Murong Hao looked around, but couldn't find any clues, thousands of crossbowmen, like the world evaporated, could not find any trace of them.
"General Zuo Si, you hold my handsome banner, lead 20,000 iron cavalry, and immediately gallop to Qinling Town, don't delay, I will lead the Chinese army to follow. ”
Pan Yue's situation was critical, and Murong Hao did not dare to delay for a moment.
But Heming Peak is more than 180 miles away from Qinling Town, even if he runs long distances and does not sleep endlessly, it will take at least three days to reach his destination, and Pan Yue's frequent secret letters, I am afraid he will not be able to support it even for half a day.
Zuo Siqin led 20,000 iron horsemen to drive lightly, bypassing Heming Peak and pointing directly at Qinling Town.
The road encountered a swamp, and hundreds of iron horsemen of the forward fell into it, and before they could be rescued, they were swallowed up by the mud.
"I've been to Qinling Town several times, why did I have an extra swamp for no reason?"
Zuo Si took the map handed by the guard, and after repeated confirmation, it was confirmed that there was no swamp along the way, not even a small river.
But at this moment, there was indeed a swamp in front of him, endless, real and palpable, just blocking his way to Qinling Town.
"Are there any other paths that go directly to Qinling Town around here?" Zuo Si asked the generals, if he took a long detour, it would take another three or five days of travel, and the battle situation would not allow him to make this choice.
"General Zuo, I know that fifteen miles away from here, there is a canyon called Luofengpo, which is trickled out by the neighboring hunters step by step. Although it is a small road, it is inconvenient to march, but the distance is short, which can ensure that the army will arrive in Qinling Town before noon tomorrow. ”
Under his command, a deputy general who had been stationed in Qinling Town informed Zuo Si of this information.
"Do as you say, all the soldiers dismount and hike through the canyon. In desperation, Zuo Si had no choice but to copy the trail.
Although there is a risk, it is better than delaying the fighter plane and being executed by Murong Hao.
When the Beifu army left, the swamp disappeared out of thin air, and the hundreds of iron horsemen in the vanguard did not die from the swamp, but fell into the pit and fell to their deaths.
After doing this, Shuang Yi and the mole, according to the previous agreement, withdrew to Yongguan along the tunnel dug in advance.
"It's hidden, so be careful. ”
Luofengpo is deep and silent, the atmosphere is particularly weird, and every step Zuo Si takes, his heart is raised to his throat.
"General, you are too worried, the Luofengpo trail, only a few local hunters know, how can the Yanzhou barbarians know about this place, even if they know, under the divine power of my Beifu army, they don't dare to act rashly. The deputy general patted his chest and promised, even he was stationed in Qinling Town for five years before he stumbled upon this sheep intestine path.
"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and it is always right to be careful. ”
The iron cavalry turned to the footmen, led the war horse, and drilled into the Luofeng Slope.
As soon as Zuo Si's front foot passed, the Jiuli shield soldiers sealed the exit with their back feet, carrying a heavy shield that could be folded and assembled, and it was stacked four or five meters high, comparable to a steel city wall.
"It's so weird, such a dense forest, you can't hear the insects and birds? Send hundreds of soldiers to sweep both ends of the cliff first, and then march after making sure that there are no ambushes. ”。
Zuo Si stopped, looked at the cliffs at both ends, and couldn't help frowning, the atmosphere was very depressing, making people breathless.
Years of experience in the battlefield have given him an unusually keen sense of smell and the ability to detect possible dangers in advance.
