The sun became hot, and the advance of the Jin cavalry slowed and slowed.

The terrain is high and low, the roads are lined with dense forests and deep grass, and the mountain grass is as high as two meters. In some areas, there are low thorn bushes; In some places, there are steep canyons. Strictly speaking, it is not a canyon, but a crevice of strangely shaped rocks.

The sound of ding-dong was faintly audible, it was the sound of running water. After concluding that it was not the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, the forward general of the Jin army shouted happily: "Brothers, there is a small river ahead, speed up!" ”

Hope brought strength to the Jin army, and they turned into a small road, which was a canyon several meters wide, more than ten meters high and no more than thirty or forty meters long, looking upwards, and the sun was projecting from above.

Looking further ahead, a small stream gushed merrily out of the mountain crevice, making a tinkling sound, and the green snake meandered like a snake in no knowing where it flowed.

After stopping and observing for a moment, the first Jin soldiers entered the canyon, and they had already passed through the dangerous place, although the terrain here could also be ambushed, but in their hearts they felt that it was unlikely.

After the Chinese army led by Yan Bode arrived at the mouth of the canyon, the vanguard troops had already passed through, a small number of golden soldiers were stationed on guard, and most of the cavalry rushed to the clear stream with a shout. Their actions undoubtedly brought encouragement and set an example to the Jin army behind them, and even Wanyan Bode was infected.

Wang Zhongfeng and Zheng Xinru gave up the ambush arrangement in several dangerous places, which made the Jin army lower their vigilance. Wanyan Bode also had the illusion that the enemy was not firmly on the ground and could not push the position forward to such a distance. Now it's just a mountainous area, and there is no mountain yet, so there will be no other troubles except for the difficult roads.

The Jin army poured into the canyon in a steady stream, and most of the Chinese army had passed, and for the soldiers who were suffocating and thirsty under the scorching sun, the dingdong of the creek was the most beautiful and refreshing song.

Suddenly, a dark cloud obscured the sunlight that was casting, and a boulder fell from the sky, smashing several golden soldiers who were in excitement to death or injury. In the screams, the stones on the canyon fell one after another, and the screams of the Jin army came one after another, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

Ambush! Before Wanyan Bird tasted the clear and cool water, the joy in his heart was driven away by the sudden attack, and his heart couldn't help but "pop", a kind of fear with shock hit his heart, his body and mind seemed to be soaked in the stream, and the cold instantly filled the whole body.

The rain of stones was non-stop, not only slaughtering the Jin army in the canyon, but also clogging the road. But the Jin army, which had already passed through the canyon, had nothing to do but watch, because they could not find the road to the top of the canyon.

"Put on your armor, attack, rush up the hill." Wanyan Bode's roar woke up Jin Jun, who was at a loss for what to do.

Following the direction of the general's finger, Jin Jun turned his head sideways, only to realize that if he wanted to climb to the top of the valley, he had to climb from the side of this valley. It was a hillside covered with low vegetation, and when you reached the ridge, you could turn left and climb to the top of the valley to join up with the friendly forces trapped in the valley.

If an ambush is set up on the top of the valley, the enemy will defend it on the hillside. Wanyan Bird realized that it was going to be a battle to the death, and although he had not yet seen the enemy on the slope, he made the fastest judgment based on his years of experience in the battle.

Wanyan Bode's judgment was not wrong, the mountain beam was indeed the position of the Red Turban Army, which was once an ancient road and had long been abandoned. Due to the long years of people stepping on horses, the ancient road on the mountain beam was trampled into the ground more than one meter deep, forming a natural trench several kilometers long and more than one meter wide.

Looking down from the natural trenches, the hillside is a flat field, called open land in military terms. The grass on the hillside is densely covered with thorny vines that entangle people's legs and feet, and shrubs that are knee-high and cannot provide shelter.

If you attack upwards, the enemy will not only be struggling, but will also accidentally trip over the thorn vines, becoming a death rope that will take away the life of Hades.

Looking at the Jin army at the mouth of the valley, Wang Zhongfeng sneered. Occupying the geographical advantage is to fight people, and the Jin army is bound to lose. The Jin army, which fell into the valley, had two or three hundred horsemen, and it was unlikely that they would break through a few narrow passes.

At this time, Wanyan Bird's mind was gradually calming down, carefully observing the terrain, organizing troops, and preparing to crush the enemy with a fierce attack with all his might.

"Third brother, Wanyan Bode stabilized the team so quickly, and he has indeed been in battle for a long time. did not rush to attack, which shows that he is quite strategic, not to be underestimated! Zheng Ruxin reminded Wang Zhongfeng beside him: "Look at him, he didn't rush to attack, which shows that he has some strategy, which should not be underestimated!" ”

Wang Zhongfeng nodded and said, "Now it seems that it will be a fierce battle, Seventh Sister, let's fight side by side and defeat Yan Bode's trapped beast." ”

"Okay!" Zheng Ruxin smiled and fought side by side, she took a step closer to Wang Zhongfeng and said, "The enemy is not in a hurry, presumably the subsequent attack will definitely go all out in order to succeed." Now that we are prepared, I don't think we have to hide our heads and show our tails, and simply show our flags and line up to strengthen the army's might? ”

"Seventh Sister is right." Wang Zhongfeng smiled and agreed, it was obvious that the attempt to suddenly scare the enemy army was not easy to succeed, so it was better to lay out the carriages and horses and make the arrangement in front of the formation more complete.

With the sound of drums, the Red Turban Army appeared in the field of vision of the Jin Army from the mountain beam. Small trees with thick mouths were placed in front of the formation, full of branches and branches against the hillside, forming a simple deer barrage. Horses that are simply tied and cut from trees are neatly arranged behind the deer, forming a barrier.

Is this how the enemy wants to stop the advance of our army? Wanyan Bode pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, looked at the mountain beam, and his thick eyebrows jumped twice. The number of enemies does not seem to be too large, but this may be a suspicious tactic and not a basis for underestimating the enemy.

Don't stop when you return to the teacher, and fight if you die. Wanyan Bird knew that no matter what the enemy's arrangement was, he had to rush to kill him, and it was no longer the time to pay attention to strategic planning.

After shouting and arranging in front of the formation, the Red Turban Army quickly completed this series of work, sat on the ground and rested his physical strength.

Now compared to the Jin army, they take advantage of physical strength; Condescending, fighting after battle, they still have a psychological advantage.

As the minutes ticked by, Wanyan Bird began to line up his troops and prepare to attack. A tentative attack by a small force is not necessary, but it is easy to be defeated by superior enemy forces, which will dampen the overall morale.

Therefore, in addition to leaving more than 100 horsemen to watch the horses, he divided the whole army into three formations, and the front formation was both the vanguard and the nature of temptation; The rest of the formations were separated by more than 30 meters, one after another, forming a continuous and uninterrupted attack.
