Chapter 312: Ambush (I)
Looking at the enemy scouts from afar, he went into the valley and searched for it, and after finding nothing, he basically came to the conclusion that it was safe and turned to leave!
At this time, Ye Teng's scouts hurriedly reported: "Lord, the enemy army is only 10 kilometers away from us. ”
"5 kilometers and then report!"
"No!"
After waiting in the distance for a while, he found that no new scouts appeared, and his own scouts hurriedly reported again: "Lord, the enemy army is only 5 kilometers away from us. ”
"Well, it looks like there won't be any new enemy scouts. You don't have to probe any further, you go and inform Wan Hao and Yan Ruoyu to choose the opportunity to enter the attack position. Ye Teng said to the two scouts.
"No!" The scout turned and walked away.
Ye Teng turned his head to look at the soldiers around him who were eager to try, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's all take our places, and listen to my instructions before releasing the arrows later!" ”
"No!"
All the soldiers began to slowly walk out of the dense forest, wearing straw hats woven with vine leaves on their heads, entered the designated position, and then lay down, waiting for the attack password.

The announcements of Bao Xin and Zhang Chao's death came one after another, and all the princes who were fighting Dong in front of the Tiger Prison were shaken! They not only have the sadness of the dead rabbit and the fox, but also care about the safety of the back road!
But there is a prince, but sadness and anger are mixed.
He is Zhang Chao's own brother, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao. The two brothers were both one of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and they were in the limelight for a while, but the cause of Dong Daye had just begun, and Zhang Chao was destroyed. Not only did it make him sad, but he also felt that there was a raging fire in his heart.
Zhang Miao, the word Meng Zhuo, Dongping Shou Zhang Ren. When he was young, he was famous for his chivalry, helping the poor, helping others, bankrupting his family, and many strong men were attached to him, known as one of the "Eight Kitchens", Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were friends with him.
Hearing the announcement of his brother's death, he directly approached Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, the leaders of the Dong Alliance, and asked to stabilize the rear and avenge his brother!
Because although there are many left-behind troops in the rear of the sour date, almost all of them are ordinary troops, and their combat effectiveness is worrying! Therefore, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were also worried about the back road being cut off, so they sent elite soldiers and strong generals from the accounts of the princes to let them command and rush to the rear to support.
Zhang Miao only spent a very short time to reorganize the reinforcements drawn from all sides, with 20,000 Han army iron cavalry as the vanguard, 5,000 Beiwei army as the middle army, 20,000 halberd soldiers followed, 10,000 Han army iron cavalry as the rear battalion, a total of 50,000 primary special troops, 5,000 intermediate special troops, and swept back in the direction of sour jujube.

"Coming in, the enemy coming in." A yellow-level military general lay next to Wan Hao, watching the enemy strikers begin to enter the valley where they were ambushed, and couldn't help but be a little excited.
"Shhhh Shut up! Wan Hao slapped the back of the head of the yellow-level general, then lowered his head, lay on the spot and continued to wait!
The order he received was to lead 500 Iron Eagle Warriors to lie in ambush near the narrow valley mouth on the west side of the valley, and choose the right time to cut off the enemy's retreat, so that the enemy army in the west could not advance, and the enemy army in the east could not retreat.
And Yan Ruoyu led 1,000 Beiwei troops to block the valley pass in the east, not letting an enemy advance eastward. At this time, the narrowest part of the east valley mouth has been tightly blocked by an earthen wall more than 5 meters high. Although strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a long mound of earth with a width of more than 20 meters, but it gives the intercepting Beiwei army a condescending geographical advantage.
As for where did this earthen wall come from?
It's very simple, in Ye Teng's space, there have always been storage rings captured on the battlefield. And these storage rings, which are not usually used, were filled with earth and stones by Ye Teng for use in wartime.
When Ye Teng discovered this valley a few days ago, he thought of the storage ring that he had been leaving in the space to be prepared, and felt that this move was definitely an unexpected ambush strategy for the enemy.
When explaining the task to Wan Hao and Yan Ruoyu, he not only handed them the siege crossbow, but also gave them a large number of storage rings filled with earth and stones.
When Yan Ruoyu led the troops to the ambush site, she directly asked her subordinates to pour out the soil and stones in the storage ring and pile them up into a temporary city wall. After the top was slightly tamped, the stone strips were used as a simple female wall, and all the soldiers and siege crossbows were arranged on the top of the spacious temporary city wall.
At this point, everything is ready and waiting for the enemy to attack!

"Look, General!" Zhang Miaojun's vanguard commander, Xuan-level military general Pang Zhi, was very comfortable facing the warm spring sun, and when he rode his horse slowly, his scout leader exclaimed!
Looking in the direction pointed by the leader of the scouts, there was a high mound of earth in front of the road, like a city wall, like a hillside, but whatever it looked like, in short, the road was impassable!
"What do you scouts eat, and why hasn't there been any news of this road being blocked?" Pang Zhi couldn't help but be furious, and hit the scout leader with a whip!
"But when I explored before, there really wasn't a ......" The scout leader was also full of grievances, this area had been personally explored by him before, and there was indeed no existence of this temporary earthen wall. It's only been less than two hours, and there is such a high wall, you ask me, who do I ask?
"None? Who have you become? Why don't you go and see what's going on? Pang Zhi could only raise his hand to signal the troops to stop first and wait for news from the scouts.
"Follow me!" The leader of the scouts motioned to a dozen of his scout cavalrymen to ride forward with him. Hundreds of meters away, in the blink of an eye. It's just that when they arrived in front of the dirt slope, before they could rush up the sloping dirt slope, dozens of accurate arrows were ushered in, shooting through their throats, and all the scouts whimpered and fell off their horses!
Under the good vision of the sunny day, what happened in front of the earthen wall, Pang Zhi could see it clearly!
"The earthen wall is guarded, and the archery skills are not bad, it's trouble!" Pang Zhi turned his head to the deputy general and said.
"What to do? Do you send someone to report to Taishou immediately? The adjutant asked.
"What does a pioneer do, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and the situation is not clear, how to report? We have to tell Taishou-sama how many people are blocking us, and how strong they are, right? Otherwise, Lord Taishou asked, I don't know if I asked, I can't afford to lose that person! Pang Zhi still looked calm, turned around and ordered: "Wang Junhou, take your song of soldiers, kill me on that slope, and kill all the rabbit cubs who dare to block the way!" ”
"No!" Wang Junhou promised loudly! Then he led his 200 Han army iron cavalry forward and launched a magnificent full-speed charge!
It's a pity that he is facing a condescending all-round intermediate special class - Beiwei Army, the Han Army's iron cavalry's skill of riding and archery has not yet reached the effective range, and it ushered in the opponent's first wave of arrow rain, and the accuracy is excellent, nearly half of the Han army's iron cavalry fell at once, and there are not a few people in the team who have tripped up.
But since the charge had been launched, the cavalry naturally couldn't stop suddenly, so they could only continue to move forward, but before they could run out thirty or fifty meters, they ushered in the second wave of arrow rain.
After the second wave of arrow rain, the Han army's iron cavalry had already rushed to the bottom of the dirt slope, but at this time, only twenty or thirty horsemen were left, and they were unable to advance or retreat: rush up, you can only deliver food; Retreat, but leave your back to the enemy as a target.
The enemy on the dirt slope seemed to have understood their thoughts, and once again dozens of arrows went down, and all the Han army iron cavalry were reimbursed!
