Chapter 248: The Wu army was defeated under this tree

On the afternoon of September 23 of the first year of "Without a Trace", because of the discovery that the eldest princess led the remnants of the Chu army to set up a trap in the area of Baishi Village in an attempt to delay the march of the Wu army, the Wu army was elite, lightly armed, and rushed to Baishi Village for hundreds of miles to attack the remnants of the Chu army and cut off the rescue route of the southern army of the Chu army, and entered Jiangling City.

"This Chu land obviously belongs to the Jianghan Plain, and it should be mostly flat land, but the southeast of Jingzhou to the northeast of Dongting is really not a good place." Riding on a handsome white horse, [Yi Jiang Cheng] felt that he had the demeanor of an ancient Confucian general, and at this time, while leading the congregation on a rapid march, he said on the horse to his old rival and current temporary comrade-in-arms [the seventh master in history], who was also the president, "If the enemy has enough troops, it is a good place to set up an ambush here, and it will definitely catch us off guard." ”

"That's right." [The seventh master in history] rode forward, trying his best to appear that he was running a little ahead of [one will succeed] - but the fact is a pity, both of them are boutique horses, and the horse speed is the same in terms of data, so the two are very basic * neck and neck, if you don't understand, you will think that they are old friends and old partners - said in his mouth, "This area, overgrown with trees, rocky, and catch up with this alley-like terrain, give me 10,000 troops, you can ambush 30,000 here, block both ends, and one husband is the pass, The rest of the people condescended and fought to the death. ”

The place they are passing through, as [the seventh master in history] said, the local NPC calls it "Gourd Valley", as the name suggests, that is, the terrain is like a gourd that has been split into two levels. It was a passage six or seven miles long, with rocky and overgrown mountains on both sides, and the entrance was as narrow as the mouth of a gourd, and it was not easy for the army to turn around once it entered. The two sides of the mountain are extremely difficult to climb for a while. If the enemy sends 2,000 soldiers at each end of the passage for six or seven miles, then no matter how many troops there are in this passage, they can only watch the comrades in front of them fight, and they will not be able to use their strength. You can't go in and you can't go in, and you can't go back and you can't go back. And if the enemy had laid an ambush early, and had set up five or six or seven ambushes on the steep stone mountain, and then thousands of archers would have fired arrows and arrows, and the fire would have been horizontal, the scene would have been quite spectacular, and the 30,000 troops would have been killed.

This kind of terrain is well known to anyone with a little battlefield observation ability, and it is necessary to prevent ambushes and not to enter lightly. But for the current Wu army, there is no need to take precautions at all. The Chu army's western expeditionary army did not have time to return to the division, and this information is certain. The Chu army of Yunmeng in the south is in a stalemate with the Yue army, and once the army is withdrawn, Changsha City, which is almost as important as Jiangling City, will be gone, so there are no reinforcements in the south except for the player legion that was transferred before, which is returning to the division. And the player legion is still on its way to this area, behind their butts, and this information is just as reliable. In the end, the only ones who could ambush them were the Chu army and the three major groups of players who had lost only one or two thousand remnants in last night's battle. Not to mention that there are two teams of players because of the miscellaneous resurrection points, so after hanging up last night, they have not returned to the battlefield neatly for a while, even if there is a team of players who don't hang much, they have already been in it, so they know very well that this team of players is participating in the war, but they are still dozens of miles away with the eldest princess's group of NPCs, but they were temporarily expelled from the area where the eldest princess set a trap ten miles away.

They have a clear grasp of all the troop movements of the Chu army. Except for the seven player legions behind them that were previously transferred to Yunmeng and now urgently returned to the division, the other legions, even if they all set up ambushes in this terrain, they couldn't stop the elite and Wu soldiers of the two major guilds. You must know that even in the normal state, the ability of NPC soldiers is 3-5 times that of the player, not to mention that because of last night's battle and today's thousand-mile pursuit, the morale of the soldiers has risen a lot.

A simple sentence to describe the current situation is that even if they knew that all the other hidden strengths of the Chu army were used to ambush here, they were not afraid and dared to break through.

Flooding the Seventh Army or something, but it can no longer be done. Except for that special situation, in the current state, one or two thousand soldiers against twenty or thirty thousand elite soldiers, all ambushes are floating clouds.

"Do you need ten thousand?". The mood is relaxed, there is no pressure on the battlefield, and anyone can talk big, so when he heard [the seventh master in history] say that he could destroy 30,000 troops with 10,000 ambushes here, [Yijiang Chengcheng] immediately responded disdainfully, "Ambush 30,000 here, give me 8,000 soldiers is enough." "..., from the afternoon ... After three or four hours of rapid marching, the sky was getting dark, the sun had set, and the crescent moon had risen. [The Seventh Master in History] turned his head sideways and looked at [One Success], and he couldn't fully see the expression on his face, but even a fool* could hear pride and disdain in his tone, which made [The Seventh Master in History] quite indignant. "Eight thousand soldiers?". He immediately said, "Just give me 6,000, 2,000 at each end, and then put 1,000 on each of the hills on both sides, and let me destroy 20,000 or 30,000 enemy troops, which is more than enough."

"Cut" [one will be successful] heard the words and scolded disdainfully.

Who wouldn't brag about it, it couldn't happen, but if it was assumed, he would dare to say that he would destroy 30,000 enemy troops by himself

Of course, that's not possible.

Just like setting up an ambush here, even if you have a good location and set up an ambush in advance, it is not so easy to kill 30,000 enemy troops without about 8,000 soldiers. No matter how much you can block, there will always be times when you get tired, and as long as you have enough time, or if you are not attacked, the mountain walls on both sides are not completely impossible to climb from below. As soon as there is a hole at both ends or in the mountain wall, the whole encirclement is quickly lifted.

And these are the biggest reasons why their 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and 20,000 elite players dare to rush in.

"Report to the President" The two of them are riding horses to accompany the NPC legion on a fast march - the Wu soldiers did not have horses "with them", but if they are ordinary mounts, players can still lend them some, but it is likely that "there is no return", because the NPC only accepts horses, and he will not worry about who gave it to him - at this time, among the few players who opened the road at the front, someone turned back and reported loudly, "The Chu army has set up a roadblock in front, and dozens of big trees have fallen sideways on the road, hindering the march"

"The eldest princess really still has a certain strategy." Hearing this, he secretly thought in his heart, "These dozens of big trees should have sensed that we were approaching, so they hurriedly brought soldiers to get them not long ago, but they are small skills of carving insects, dozens of big trees, just send some people over to settle it immediately." ”

But thinking about it this way, after all, the eldest princess can't be so naïve, she really thinks that a few big trees can do anything to Wu Jun, so [one general succeeds] still immediately felt that the situation was strange, and [the seventh master in history] and the two quickly rode forward.

Sure enough, dozens of thick trees fell sideways on the road ahead.

"There's another tree planted in the ground," at this time, [the seventh master in history] pointed to a tree standing on the side of the road, "the bark has been peeled off, and the trunk is ...... It seems that there are still words? It's dark and I can't see clearly......"

Hearing this, "Light the torch" [one will be done], his heart instinctively felt violently uneasy, and he hurriedly said to the congregation around him.

Soon a congregation lit torches and raised them.

[One Success] and [Seventh Master in History] immediately looked at the trunk of the tree in unison.

Under the firelight, I only saw seven large characters on it-

"The Wu army was defeated under this tree." ……，
