Chapter 409: Ambush Again

Dog Shi Ci nodded! "Not bad! Since the attack on Jiangyou Liao Ce has failed. Han Gong lured out the ambush soldiers in Yinping Avenue, and it was the best time for our army to secretly turn back to Yulei Pass at this time. Although Zhang Ren has an army of 10,000, the road here is mainly mountain roads along the way, and our army only needs to send more scouts. To find out where Zhang Ren's army is going, just bypass it from the mountain road. ”

Gao Shun nodded and said, "Although the general's words are reasonable. However, it is difficult to ensure that there are no more ambushes in Yinping Avenue, if there are still ambushes in Yinping Avenue. At that time, Zhang Ren's army returned to the division and entered Yinping Avenue, and our army was attacked from the front and back, and then it was in danger. ”

Tai Shi Ci laughed and said: "General Gao is too worried, although Yinping Avenue is called a Great Road, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, General Gao also has a deep understanding, and ambushing 10,000 troops in Yinping Avenue is already the limit." Zhang Ren was led out at this time, and there was no enemy army in Yinping Avenue. ”

Gao Shun heard this, frowned and said: "If the enemy army blocks the road with boulders in Yinping Avenue, then Zhang Ren's army will chase after him from behind, and 10,000 people will intercept it, and our army will be in danger!" ”

Tai Shi Ci heard this, and the murderous aura appeared in his eyes. He whispered: "If this is the case, our army will fight against the water." Let's see if he is a powerful Yizhou disciple, or an elite of my army. In addition, our army still has a flying hook in hand. If Zhang Ren blocks the road with a boulder, our army can climb over the sealed mountain road with a flying hook. ”

After listening to Tai Shici's words, Gao Shun couldn't help but admire in his heart, Zhang Xiu's generals, in addition to being strong in martial arts, are also proficient in the art of war. Hua Xiong, Xu Rong, Xu Huang became famous the earliest, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong have been famous all over the world, not to mention, Ma Zhu Zhang Xiuping Liangzhou and the Western Regions, the prestige is all over the Western Regions, and his good brother Zhang Liao has many catties and Gao Shun are very clear, Gan Ning is rumored to be good at water kung fu, with a few broken boats and one of the naval armies in Jingzhou fought together. In front of him, Tai Shici, whose prestige is only ranked in the middle, also admired Gao Shun's military attainments. In addition to being alert, he also made decisive decisions, advancing when he should advance, and retreating when he should retreat, without the slightest hesitation.

This kind of top-level general is definitely not comparable to the eight strong generals under Lu Bu before, except for Zang Ba, the rest of the eight strong generals are just reckless men, thinking of this, Gao Shun sighed in his heart.

Tai Shi Ci saw that Gao Shun and Xu Shang agreed. He immediately sent out a large number of scouts to listen to the news of the 10,000-strong army under the banner of Zhang Ren behind, and then led the army to bypass the mountain road next to him. Avoid encountering Zhang Ren's army and hurry back to the southern entrance of Yinping Avenue.

Tai Shici didn't know that his every move was controlled by Zhang Song. Zhang Song watched his 1,500-strong army disguised as an army of 10,000 people to scare off Tai Shici, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. sighed secretly: "Tai Shi Ci, too Shi Ci." Although you have the talent of a general and are extremely alert, you don't understand the court struggle, and you don't know that my lord is afraid of General Zhang Ren, so it is impossible for him to lead so many soldiers to attack alone. In other words, if there is a random strategist under Zhang Xiu's command, he will be able to see that Song's army is a suspicious soldier. ”

After thinking about it, he immediately summoned the scout captain and ordered: "Inform General Zhang Ren that the enemy army has returned to the division, and let him prepare for an ambush." Then he summoned the adjutant general and ordered: "Continue to march towards Jiangyou under the banner of General Zhang Ren." Don't come into contact with the Tai Shi Ci department, and disguise yourself sufficiently. Don't let Tai Shici see the reality of our army. The scout captain and lieutenant answered and left together.

Since both Zhang Song and Tai Shici chose to give way for their own reasons, the two armies staggered like a balance line without contact. After Tai Shi Ci's army returned to the entrance at the southern end of Yinping Avenue without danger, he did not let the army rest more, and immediately led the army into Yinping Avenue and retreated in the direction of Yulei Pass.

Tai Shi Ci has wasted a day's time from returning to the teacher in the morning to now entering Yinping Avenue. The soldiers began to complain about Tai Shi Ci's approach, but the complaints of the soldiers were suppressed by the three of Tai Shi Ci.

By the bright moonlight, Tai Shi Ci led the army to retreat north in the Yinping Avenue, and now the army is Gao Shun led 5,000 Hanzhong Corps soldiers to open the way, Tai Shi Ci led more than 4,000 Pofeng battalions, and finally Xu Shang led the remaining Hanzhong Corps soldiers and wounded soldiers at the end.

Tai Shi Ci saw that even the soldiers of the Broken Blade Battalion were panting, which showed the fatigue of the army this day and night, but Tai Shi Ci really had no choice. The other party has a plan for capable people to see through the law, which makes Tai Shici feel uneasy in his heart. This morning, he temporarily changed his strategy and forced the enemy out of Jiangyou under the pretense of returning to Shijiangyou. It made Tai Shi Ci firm up his previous thoughts, so now Tai Shi Ci only hopes to return to Yulei Pass as soon as possible. Even if he returned to the northern section of Yinping Avenue controlled by Zhang Xiu's side, Tai Shici would feel a little more at ease.

Tai Shi Ci knew that this kind of complex terrain was not like fighting with Liangzhou in Guanzhong, and those places were flat and flat, even if they were ambushed, they could escape. But in these mountain roads, even if there are many people in ambush, there is a chance that the whole army will be wiped out. Therefore, we must be careful and careful, so Tai Shi Ci repeatedly urged the army to continue to rush forward.

Just as Tai Shici was thinking about it and couldn't help urging the army to advance, he only heard a few loud "boom boom" noises in front of him, followed by a burst of shouts of killing.

Tai Shici's body was shocked, and he secretly complained. Then hurriedly shouted: "Enemy attack" enemy attack, raise fire! Raise the fire".

"Huhuhu,"

With Taishi Ciren's order, the nearby soldiers immediately lit the torches in their hands. Soon after the fire was raised, Tai Shi Ci saw the bloodied scouts of the former army rushing to report and reported: "Report to the general, our army has been ambushed by the enemy. The enemy blocked the road with boulders. He also ambushed our army from both sides of the mountain road with a rain of wood, stones, arrows, and arrows, and General Gao was already in front of him to direct the enemy. But our army lacked bows and arrows, and General Gao asked General Taishi for support. Tai Shi Ci heard this, nodded, and said, "Go back to General Gao, and say that Ben will be there soon!" Then he ordered loudly: "The Broken Blade Battalion listens to the order." With a shield in his left hand and an arrow in his crossbow, he will go to the front with Ben to support." After giving the order, he grabbed the junior colonel beside him and ordered: "Go to the rear army and inform Xu Shang if you encounter an enemy attack." Let them form a formation to meet the enemy, protect the wounded brother first, and then ask the general for help, and don't move lightly? "All the people heard and heard, and they answered together.

Tai Shici immediately led the army forward, but when he arrived at the front army, he saw the Yizhou soldiers on both sides of the mountain road constantly firing arrows and constantly throwing rolling logs down the mountain. Gao Shun commanded the army to form two layers inside and outside, the soldiers on the outside raised shields to defend, and the inside fought back with bows and arrows, but the number of archers was not large, and the Yizhou soldiers were condescending. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, many soldiers of the Yizhou Corps in the mountain road were shot and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci was annoyed in his heart, and ordered loudly: "The Breaking Front Battalion listens to the order, the third team steps forward to raise their shields to defend, and the first and second teams prepare with crossbows, aiming at the mountains on the left and right.

"Woohoo

The first and second teams had a total of 2,000 men on both sides of the hill, and the hand crossbows could shoot three arrows at a time, with a total of 6,000 crossbow arrows on both sides from the bottom to the top. Crossbow bolts shoot extremely fast. The power is strong, and the Yizhou soldiers on the mountain did not expect that the army supported by Tai Shici below would have such powerful crossbow arrows, and many Yizhou soldiers were caught off guard and fell down with three or four crossbow arrows.

Tai Shi Ci had a cold face and shouted: "The first team and the second team step back, throw guns and prepare, the fourth and fifth teams step forward, prepare with crossbows, release!" ”

"Woohoo

Another round of crossbow bolts was fired into the hills on either side. Two consecutive rounds of crossbow arrows suppressed the few Yizhou soldiers on the mountain. The Yizhou soldiers did not dare to show their faces again, but just used the cover of the mountain to throw their bows and arrows down. and threw the rolling log, but because he didn't see it, Gao Shun commanded the army to block the arrows with leather shields and avoid the rolling logs.

Tai Shici led the army forward and said to Gao Shun: "General Gao, the situation is like steel now"

Gao Shun saw that it was Tai Shici, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the general, the road in front is blocked by a huge mountain rock, and there are already many soldiers in front, and many soldiers are crushed to death when the mountain rock falls. The last general came to the back to urge the soldiers to advance, so he fell. ”

Tai Shi Ci heard this and asked, "The mountain stone may be broken?" ”

Gao Shun shook his head, pointed to the huge mountain rock in front of him, which was three people high, and said, "I'm afraid it's too difficult." ”

Tai Shici nodded and said, "It's really not good for the enemy army to be condescending and take advantage of the territory to suppress our army. However, the general only saw that the enemy army had few bows and arrows. The number should not be large, General Gao, you and command an army to climb the mountain with a flying hook to kill the enemy. Ben was here to command the Breaker Battalion to cover with crossbow arrows and throwing guns. After saying that, he took off the big bow on his back and put on the three sharp arrows. Be ready to snipe enemy generals at any time.

Gao Shun knew that Tai Shi Ci was good at bows and arrows, and if he could shoot the general commanded by the enemy, then it would be much easier to break the siege, so he nodded heavily and shouted: "Trap the camp." Dequeue! Go up with Ben! ”

Tai Shici listened to Gao Shun's words and was slightly moved. This trapping camp is what is left after the original Gao Shun practiced the 800 trapping camp under Lu Bu. There are about 200 people, and now they are under the command of Gao Shun, mainly to protect the safety of Lu Bu's family. However, this time Gao Shun went out on an expedition, and he led 100 people to serve as Gao Shun's personal guards.

Zhang Xiu originally wanted Gao Shun to retrain the camp, but Gao Shun was unwilling, so the matter was finally abandoned, and Zhang Xiu also asked Gao Shun and them to keep this army.

A hundred soldiers of the trapping camp came out, each with a flying hook in his hand and a short knife stuck in his waist. Gao Shun took a flying hook, led the soldiers trapped in the camp to rush to the mountain wall, threw the flying hook to the mountain, and then pulled the rope hanging down the flying hook. Climb up the mountain wall.

The trapping camp rushed to the front, and the rest of the soldiers of the Hanzhong Corps with flying hooks were also under Tai Shici's orders. Rush to the mountain wall and throw the hook onto the mountain. Then climb up the mountain wall.

Tai Shi Ci shouted coldly: "The first team, the second team, throw the gun and prepare to "put!" ”

"Whoosh..."

The soldiers of the Breaker Battalion rushed forward a few steps, and then threw their throwing spears onto the mountain, which was not too high, so that 2,000 throwing spears could be successfully thrown.

"Ahh

There were screams one after another from the mountain, apparently shooting the Yizhou soldiers who wanted to untie the flying hook, but they were blocked by the mountain wall, but they didn't know what the casualties were. Tai Shici's order was given at the right time, which can only be grasped by an experienced general on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the trapped camp and the soldiers of the Hanzhong Corps flew up along the mountain wall, and at this time, the rain of arrows began to hit the mountain wall again, mixed with a lot of rolling logs.

When Tai Shici saw it, his husband shouted: "The fourth team and the fifth team are ready to throw guns and prepare!" ”

"Whoosh

Two thousand throwing guns were again thrown into the hills on either side. I could vaguely hear screams coming from the mountains. The rain of arrows and rolling logs were slightly less dense.

Tai Shici's eyes were like lightning, and he had been paying attention to the situation on the mountain, and he vaguely saw a big flag flashing. Without thinking about it, the three sharp arrows that had been set up a long time ago shot directly and attacked the banner that only showed a corner.

"Dian..."

The banner fell, and after a while, the rain of arrows and wood and stones that fell on the mountain began to look chaotic. It should be the work of Fang Cai Tai Shi Ci who shot down the banner. Gao Shun is also a battle-hardened general, so he naturally did not let go of such an opportunity, leading the soldiers to climb up.

At this time, there were two loud noises of "boom, boom", Tai Shici was even more shocked in his heart, he was already slightly out of shape, and said in a lost voice: "It's not good!" Xu Shang is in danger! ”

As if in response to what Tai Shi Ci said, there was a burst of fire from the back, and it was getting brighter and brighter, and at the same time, there was also a fire in front of it, and the heat couldn't help dissipating. The screams couldn't stop coming out, and after a while, there was a smell of meat wafting from the front.

Tai Shi Ci hurriedly ordered: "Attention to the army. See if there is a lot of hay, oil and sulfur nearby, and then inform General Gao to hurry up! ”

Tai Shici heard and saw Gao Shun naturally, so the degree of climbing the mountain wall also accelerated a lot, and I don't know why, there was no Yizhou soldier blocking on the mountain, and those arrow rain and rolling wood did not fall.

Tai Shici saw that the Yizhou soldiers did not attack, and he was puzzled. Soon, a soldier came to report: "Report to the general, there are no flammable materials such as hay and fire oil nearby. ”

Tai Shi Ci thought about it and thought so, because fire oil and sulfur have a unique and strong taste.

Tai Shici's heart hung until Gao Shun was the first to climb the mountain, and suddenly heard a loud shout: "Kill!" "Woohoo,"

The shouts of killing were followed by a flurry of arrows. Gao Shun was forced to retreat, and the whole person was clinging to the mountain wall, not daring to show half of it for fear of being shot by a sharp arrow.

Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci hurriedly shouted: "All the Breaker Battalion listen to the order, and the crossbow arrows are ready to be thrown!" ”

More than 10,000 crossbow arrows were thrown out. Landing on the mountain, the Yizhou soldiers on the mountain were suppressed for a while, which was also the effect that Zhang Xiu's army could only make after the improved hand crossbow that had crossed this era.

The enemy army on the mountain was suppressed for a while, and Gao Shun shouted: "Trap the camp, rush!" ”

After speaking, he first turned over to the mountain, and then pulled out the short knife at his waist. The rest of the 100 soldiers who had fallen into the camp also climbed the mountain in just a few breaths.
