Throughout the development of the history of the entire Canghai realm, it is often very wonderful, many times directly or indirectly change the entire historical process, and push it to the next stage, it is precisely after people suddenly discover, they will have endless aftertaste, after pondering for a long time, sigh a coincidence of providence, these pushed a wheel of history behind their backs, maybe they are just insignificant little people, but their accidental action one day, after being traced back to the source, is the beginning of the whole big event.

Of course, the reason why a fire that swept the world was ignited was not just because of the small spark that accidentally fell, but because a large pile of dry firewood had already accumulated there, and the spark of the stars could burn the prairie fire, which could be regarded as barely enough to describe this truth.

If there were no such and such reasons, if the Imperial Court of the Patriotic Court had not done so excessively, if those soldiers had been able to treat them better, if the whip had not been drawn, if Cao Yan had killed them directly with a knife, if Cao Yan had not stopped them and sent them food, this honest patriotic people would definitely not have suddenly said that sentence at the end.

And Cao Yan will not change his decision temporarily.

Yes, after being reminded by the other party, Cao Yan didn't think about it for too long, and made an extremely bold decision.

By the twilight of the morning, relying on this little light, he spread an extremely detailed map of Yanzhou on horseback, lowered his head, and his fingers kept moving with his sight.

Sometimes he closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, sometimes he opened his eyes and shook his head gently, his brows furrowed for a while, and then stretched, and the people next to him saw it, but they didn't dare to disturb him at all, they were all waiting silently, and many people had scattered under the command of Iwasaw, guarding against the enemy's sneak attack.

What is Cao Yan doing?

He wants to find, he wants to find the specific route for Hu Yanshi to come!

Who is Hu Yanshi?

He is a generation of famous generals who defend the country, and can even be said to be the Dinghai Shenshen Needle of Qilian Mountain, there is no doubt about this, Cao Yan will never see him clearly because he is an enemy countryman, on the contrary, in his imagination, the other party must be an old and strong, extremely experienced in the enemy, very good at defensive operations, will not be greedy for merit, steady and steady, will never give the enemy a chance, is the most difficult opponent.

But because of this, and because Hu Yanshi is not a mediocre talent, when Cao Yan knew that the person just now might be the bait that the other party deliberately released to seduce him, then he can be sure of one thing, that is, Hu Yanshi may be on his way to outflank him now.

He believed that the other party had this ability, because as long as the other party could integrate all the intelligence, it would not be difficult to deduce his own offensive line.

Put yourself in their shoes and think about it, he is absolutely incapable and has no time to stop everyone, in other words, he has to give up some of them and let them go.

The reason why he is doing so many actions at the moment, knocking out the "eyes" here for a while, and setting up suspicious formations for a while, has only one purpose, that is, to disrupt the line of sight, so that Hu Yanshi's side does not dare to move, and then find a suitable target to attack, so that he can avoid the possibility of being encircled and suppressed as much as possible.

Therefore, there must be only one real goal!

Since he didn't bump into his own side, then after he guessed the other party's intentions, he would inevitably choose to take people back along the way to find it, even if he couldn't guess which way he chose as a breakthrough, but at the very least, he could use this stupid method to catch up with him.

Once the other party seizes the opportunity, he will definitely not leave any way back for himself, regardless of whether this strategy to lure the enemy into depth is formulated by Hu Yanshi himself, but Cao Yan believes that since it is the soldiers led by the other party, since he dares to divide the troops into eight, then they should have this tacit understanding between each other.

Figuring out the enemy's psychology and speculating on the enemy's movements is also an extremely important part of war.

If you can know everything clearly, then you can naturally achieve the first opportunity to dominate the enemy, even if the gap between the two sides is huge, there is still a chance to create miracles.

However, the amount of calculation required is really not small, if there is a strategist like Lan Yunxuan around who can calculate on his behalf, it will be much simpler, and he will not be so anxious.

Although he knew a lot of information about the other party's movements from the mouths of those two people, he could even guess where the part of the people where Hu Yanshi was located according to what the other party said before, but if the other party really brought people back to outflank him, the route would be different.

"There are three routes. ”

Cao Yan raised his head suddenly, and he felt a little dizzy for a while, thinking that he was a little tired because he was overusing his brain.

But time waited for no one, and there was no time to rest, so he ordered in a deep voice:

"It's not possible to divide the troops, and it's too late to divide the troops now, I can only bet that in order to save time, he Hu Yanshi will turn back from the shortest shortcut road to outflank us, set off quickly, and follow me to set up an ambush!"

---------------

According to the depiction on the map, there is actually only one point that can be ambushed on this route, and that is a high ground.

It is said to be a high ground, but it is not too high, but if Hu Yanshi brings people from the south to the north, there is a section of terrain that continues to go down, and in the middle, there will be a place similar to a basin, and then go up, until you climb the high slope in front, and there, that is, where Cao Yan chose to face off with the other party.

Although this place is actually not particularly high, if they are all hiding on the back, it is difficult for the enemy to find because of the lack of vision, and they occupy a favorable position, but they can attack at the first time and catch the opponent by surprise.

In short, Cao Yan just gave up an opportunity to catch up with the enemy's large army and harass and sneak attack, but he could bet on whether he could block Hu Yanshi once, he thought that it was profitable, even if he couldn't gamble, at least he wouldn't lose.

---------------

And as it turned out, he was right.

Hu Yanshi has never despised the other party because of his own identity, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to this opponent he has not yet met, and his way of dealing with it is also very safe.

He believed that after his own interrogation, the men on this side would be able to react in time, releasing bait one by one until they lured the other party into taking the bait.

The current situation is that the Wei and Jin coalition forces have conquered the city all the way in Yanzhou, and they have made outstanding achievements, even fighting Lianke, and they are almost invincible, which is in the eyes of everyone.

They are like a sharp spear, stabbing into the heart of Liangguo, shattering the pride and self-confidence they have established in the past, in other words, in fact, the people of Liangguo themselves are not optimistic about the offensive and defensive war that is about to break out on the border of Liangzhou, otherwise there will not be so many people panicking, in other words, it should be the other party who should be anxious now, in this case, in the face of opportunities that can be seized, they cannot bear it, because their purpose is very simple, that is, to reduce the pressure on the front line by attacking the enemy's supply lines。

And he also figured out the enemy's method, which is to drag them down!

Because they both understand that the manpower that the other party can use is not enough, as long as the people on Huyanshi's side choose to stick to it, or as long as they are careful on the road, then the total annihilation of this side is completely a fool's dream, but as long as they can delay the supply, even if it is only for one day, it is also beneficial to Liangguo, because the soldiers on the front line of the Weijin coalition army can't afford to drag it, and they have to eat.

Therefore, Hu Yanshi must attack with all his strength at the beginning, without the two sides knowing each other well, and cripple the enemy, even if they can't be completely destroyed, they must also destroy most of their strength, otherwise once they are followed by the other party all the way, then there is really no doubt that something will happen.

After all, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to defend against thieves for a thousand days, as a general who is famous for his defense, he understands better that blindly sticking to it is just giving the other party a chance, as an attacking party, he can always find a suitable time to attack.

How else to say that the best defense is actually offense?

-------------

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

Five thousand people is also all the troops that Hu Yanshi can come up with, after all, there are not so many horses, and the entire escort team, counting his war horses and cavalry here is the most, because it depends on him to dispatch and respond in the center, but it is only enough to gather 5,000 people.

He had come in a hurry, and had little time to think about anything else, because he was really in a hurry.

If it is ordinary, as a veteran, he knows the truth of making mistakes in his busyness, he will never be like this, but first, because his brother's words before leaving have been haunting his heart, and secondly, because he is worried that he will mess up this matter, if he delays the front line and leads to defeat, then he is really David's sinner for the ages, and it is difficult to escape the blame for death, and the entire Huyan family will be connected.

It was precisely because he was so anxious that he never thought that the enemy might ambush him.

Of course, even in normal times, he couldn't have thought of this, because it was too amazing, after all, it stands to reason that the enemy shouldn't even know where he really is.

Who would have thought that in that short half an hour just now, something would happen that would affect the entire battle situation?

Five thousand people swooped down the slope unconsciously, and suddenly there was a darkness overhead, because the hillside in front of them just covered out a little bit of the sun.

It was at this moment that Hu Yanshi suddenly woke up, he almost instinctively had an ominous premonition, but when he turned his head, the entire team had almost all rushed down with him, and it was too late to turn around and detour in a short time, so he could only hurriedly urge: "All speed up, hurry up!"

But in the next moment, they were greeted by more than a thousand feathered arrows that suddenly fell.

Because the bottom is full of people crowded together, densely packed, they don't need to aim at all, and even in order to achieve the suppression effect of the rain of arrows, many Rakshasa clans are according to their own abilities, two at a time, or even three arrows shot out in unison.

Cao Yan divided the entire team into three teams, with more than 300 people in each team, and shot in turns to ensure that the arrow rain continued, and strive to give the opponent the greatest lethality and suppression.

It's just that after a round of shooting, the people below are already turning on their backs, and they are mourning all over the field.

I hadn't thought about the problem of being ambushed before, and it was completely rushing towards the other party, so how could I react at this time.

As soon as the horse was hit by an arrow, he instantly fell to the ground with the people, and the people behind him had no time to avoid it because of the full sprint, so they collided directly.

The corpses of people and horses were piled up in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, a line visible to the naked eye was formed, and the screams below were everywhere, and it was already a mess.

Hu Yanshi was under the desperate protection of his close guards, and finally survived the first few rounds of arrow rain, at this time, he was pulled back by the adjutant who was hit by several arrows and had blood in his mouth, and he sighed in his head, sobered up, looked around, and only felt that something was wrong, and at the same time he was even more puzzled, why the other party could ambush him here.

But now is not the time to think about this, the roar of the adjutant next to him has gradually subsided, and he, as a general, must stand up and make a choice for the entire army.

Either retreat, or just rush up.

But retreat, it's too late to withdraw, the people at the bottom are crowded, it's not so easy to turn, and once you retreat, because it's because it's because it's against the enemy, it's a live target at all, but if you can rush, who knows how many people are on it?

According to his calculations, the manpower that the enemy can use should be around 10,000, and he didn't see the rain of arrows just now, let alone use it to calculate the number of the enemy, so if he rushes up, there is no way back, and it can't be said that it will be the result of the annihilation of the whole army.

But he can't die!

He can't die here!

It's not that he's afraid of death, it's that he doesn't dare to die at all, because he can't imagine that if he dies here like this, how can such a terrible opponent who completely guesses his intentions resist when facing the rest of the people?

Like a tiger entering the flock, I am afraid that then will be the real end of their country!

Once the supply line is dragged down, and even the losses are huge, the front line can only choose to rush to attack, once it is defeated, it is okay, the rich Liangzhou can be used as their second supply, they can still advance into the capital of Daliang, but if it is defeated, or it is stalemate, then the two countries of Wei and Jin may fall into a place of no return!

He will be nailed to the pillar of shame when he calls the name of Yanshi, and the whole country will be destroyed because of him!

It was because he thought of such terrible consequences that he must not die, never!

"Retreat!"
