Chapter 273 The danger of entering the forest

Looking at this result, Li Buche's face was gloomy, and when he looked at the generals, he couldn't help but ask: "Say, what's going on here?" ”

Under the questioning gaze of Li Bu, Dezhong told the story of what happened, and then explained: "This Zhang Chao is so cunning, we didn't expect him to set up a trap for us here." ”

"Enough, don't explain, the results of today's battle will be sent to King Chenhan, as for what to do with you, your king has his own decision." Li Buche did not let the people continue, the first battle was lost, the morale of the soldiers was a little low, and he did not want to let the army fall into complete passivity.

After scolding the generals, he asked the direction in which the Han army had withdrawn, and General Lebuche rushed forward with the army.

On a high mountain eight miles away, Zhang Chao and Jia Xu were climbing high and looking into the distance, and the scene that happened in the distance was put into their eyes.

"My lord, the plan has succeeded, and the enemy army has been severely damaged, and then the pressure will be much less." Jia Xu couldn't help but say with joy on his face when he saw Zhao Yun and Dian Wei retreating victoriously.

"Well, now it's up to the majesty of the First Legion. Come, lay down the military flag, pass the order, and let them give a good shock to the enemy. Zhang Chao's face was good, at least he didn't feel worried about being chased by the army.

Set up a trap to reverse the encirclement, this was the result of his discussion with Jia Xu last night, and now he is very happy to see that it really worked.

On the top of the mountain, the army standard-bearer kept waving his arms, and after Xu Chu, the general of the temporary first legion below, saw it, he said to the 35,000 soldiers: "Warriors, the lord is watching us from the top of the mountain, this moment is the time for us to show our might, everyone must not weaken their reputation, even if they are scared, they will be scared to death." ”

"Please rest assured, general, we will fight with all our strength and show the might of a legion." Thirty-five thousand people all spoke. Suddenly, there were loud shouts, which caused the Lebuche army who was approaching here to become nervous.

I had already suffered a loss in the morning battle, and now I have become a little more grassy. As soon as I hear the shout, I will reflexively think that I have fallen into a trap again.

"Stop!" Before he could figure out the truth, he was afraid of being fooled again, so he hurriedly ordered the army to stop.

Under the high mountain, Zhang Chao and Jia Xu, who were watching this scene, couldn't help but laugh. That's what they want, and it's the best way for them to delay the opponent's attack after they have discussed it.

After knowing that the other party was coming for reinforcements, Zhang Chao and Jia Xu were discussing how to entangle the enemy here at the minimum cost and buy effective time for the siege of the army. After thinking about it, there is the current scene.

Zhang Chao has less than 100,000 people in his hands, and against the 180,000 people in Shangsanhan, the odds are not great. Of course, it's not non-existent.,It's just that if you fight hard.,It will greatly deplete your strength.,If that's the case.,It's hard to have a foothold even if you receive Sanhan.。

Wounding a thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred, Zhang Chao was unwilling to do such a thing, and he didn't bother to do it. Entangled the other party with a small number of troops, and then besieged with superior forces, this is the result Zhang Chao wanted, and this virtual and real scene happened.

After hearing the shouts, the Samhan army really stopped. The scouts sent by Lebuche also headed for all sides, and when they returned after scouting the battle, it was already dark.

In the tent of the Sanhan army, Li Bu listened to the reports of the scouts he sent one after another, and after making sure that there were no ambushes around, and the shouts during the day were just the Han army scaring himself, he said to the generals of Dezhong and Jiani: "I think this is the enemy's lack of strength, and he wants to scare us in this way, even if this is the case, we should kill it tomorrow." ”

The analysis was supported by the two generals. At that moment, they ordered the army to rest, and the next morning, after discovering the high mountain where Zhang Chao was, more than 150,000 troops came to the mountain.

The mountains are high and the forests are dense, this is the place that Zhang Chao and Jia Xu chose as the battlefield. It's September, and the leaves on the mountain are blooming in all colors, and the view is still nice from a distance.

Only at this time, no one would enjoy the beauty here, and after the 150,000 troops came to the foot of the mountain, they were ordered by Libuche to beat the drums of war, and then columns of infantry began to search the mountain with swords or guns.

Next to a cliff in the middle of the mountain, Zhang Chao and Jia Xu are playing against each other here. Around them were fifty iron guards waiting for them, and their presence would make it impossible for anyone to easily approach the lord.

"Report!" A military scout came to the side of the cliff, knelt on one knee five meters away from Zhang Chao and said in a deep voice: "Report to the lord, the enemy has begun to enter the mountain, and now the 20,000 troops have entered the mountain at a height of about ten meters. ”

"Got it, let's find out." Zhang Chao continued to keep his eyes on Go without raising his head, as if he did not take the enemy attacking under the mountain in his eyes.

Jia Xu also paid attention to the chessboard, as if he had never heard of anything in the outside world.

Time passed little by little, and it was almost morning, and another scout came to report that not only the enemy's front army had entered the mountain, but also the Chinese army had begun to enter the mountain, and the army that was walking in the forefront had already entered the mountain at a distance of 100 meters.

This information still hasn't started Zhang Chao to make any moves, and he still told him that he was investigating after he knew about it.

It was not until noon that a scout came to say that the vanguard of the enemy army had taken a short distance from the middle of the mountain, that Zhang Chao looked up at Jia Xu and smiled.

Jia Xu knew what Zhang Chao meant, so he immediately nodded his head, and then said to a herald standing outside the iron guard behind him: "Go, pass on the order according to what he said." ”

"No." After waiting for a long time, the messenger agreed, and then turned around and did it.

"Come, Wenhe, when this game is intense, we can't afford to waste it." Seeing that the messenger had gone, Zhang Chao smiled at Jia Xu and fell down.

In the dense forest, the generals led 20,000 vanguard infantry to the forefront.

In yesterday's battle, he fell into the trap of the Han army and suffered a lot of losses, which made him become today's pioneer after being reprimanded. In the words of profitlessness, it is called meritorious service.

If the public has done something wrong, they naturally can't argue. But this does not mean that he has no other opinions in his heart, such as letting him be a pioneer, and he is a hundred unhappy in his heart.

When two armies are at war, the front army, the vanguard, is often the most dangerous. No one who is not a brave man shall not serve as a man.

Although Dezhong is also a general, he is indeed attached by blood in Chenhan, and there is not much real ability. This time, he heard that the Han Dynasty was decaying and was about to decline, so he wanted to take the opportunity to make some military achievements.

Facts have also proved that what he heard is true, at least when he entered Lelang County in the past, it was very smooth, and it was not difficult for him to enter Liaodong County later. But since Zhang Chao appeared, they have been defeated repeatedly, and under one and two, two and three, his morale has been somewhat leaked, especially after yesterday's defeat, he regretted participating in the war.

I think that by virtue of blood relationship, I can live well without coming out of the war. Why do you have to come here to do anything? did not succeed, but had a sin. It is conceivable that even if the war is won, he will not get too many fruits.

I regretted it a little in my heart, and the speed at which I led the army into the mountains was naturally not too fast. Of course, this has a lot to do with the trap that the public fears.

People say that once you are bitten by a snake, you are afraid of the well rope for ten years. After suffering a big loss yesterday, the generals did not dare to stride forward today. Under his command, the 20,000-strong army came slowly and stopping.

When the people were still regretting their move to join the battle, another messenger ran over behind him, "General, General Libuche has an order to speed up our entry into the mountain." ”

"It's urging again, he's in a hurry, why didn't he come up in person?" Looking at the somewhat panting herald soldiers, the crowd was out of breath. But all he can do is to make a fuss, and in the face of a profit that is too much stronger than himself, he doesn't dare to confront it face to face.

After some grumbling to themselves, the people said to the heralds, "Tell me to go down, and the army will speed up." Damn, I don't know where those Han soldiers went, why didn't I see any of them for a long time. ”

The people ordered to speed up, and the pace of the 20,000-strong army up the mountain could not help but increase. And all this was exposed to the eyes of Zhang Chaojun, who was lurking in the dense forest. According to the orders of the previous lord, they had already found a place with dense vegetation and hidden, and they had already seen every move of the enemy, and when they saw that they were about to come to their side, everyone looked ready to do it at any time.

There were 40,000 soldiers of the Legion in ambush in the mountain, and these people, under the leadership of the guard commander Xu Chu, were lying in ambush all over the mountain, either behind the trees or hiding under the big trees, and at the same time they were resting, and they were also using the way of waiting for work to get the enemy closer to fight.

How did the people know this, although he sent some scouts for safety, but where could they see the mountain so high? For this reason, he had no idea that he had become a prey in the eyes of others.

The art of war is cloudy, and you can't enter the forest.

This is very reasonable, but Sanhan, as a foreign race, obviously has a much worse understanding of the way of the art of war, in their opinion, the Han army in the dense forest is a piece of fat to be slaughtered, and what they don't know at all is that the role has already been replaced.
