Chapter 169: Waiting for an opportunity to ambush
Because of the disadvantage of the previous division, they fought several defeats, and now there are few men left, and the other side has won a few battles, and their momentum has increased greatly, so they must be cautious, even a small mistake may wipe out the entire army.
A few days ago, their men and horses had already hit the vicinity of Jinling, and the enemy's main city was in Jinling.
But the form in front of the general is very distressed, a great Jinan city, blocking their way, looking about to approach the imperial city, this Jinan city is not able to attack for a long time, the city here is impregnable, eighty percent of the enemy's troops are here to guard here.
After several head-to-head confrontations with the enemy, they also suffered a lot, and after several successive defeats, the army gradually lost its fighting spirit.
If you can't attack it for a long time, why do you still attack it?
The resourceful general thought of some strategies, why should he keep an eye on Jinan, now that our army is not as strong as the enemy, then let's bypass Jinan, and do not hesitate to go far, and go straight to Jinling.
The ploy seemed to have worked, and they did not hesitate to travel far and bypass Jinan, and now, the army has arrived at the city of Jinling.
Even if they were so cautious, they were still noticed by the enemy, and they were so shocked that they immediately sent troops to chase them, for they had been running all night, and now there were pursuers behind them, and the soldiers were already sleepy.
The general narrowed his eyes and looked at the valley ahead, where the terrain was hidden and there were cliffs on both sides, and it seemed to be very safe.
Looking at the soldiers in front of them, they all seemed to be very tired, why not listen to what the deputy general said, enter the valley, and trim it. 、
"Okay, as you say, brothers, in the valley ahead, set up camp!"
The general on his horse drew his sword and pointed straight at the valley in front of him, he was wearing black armor, and a handsome face was revealed under the battle helmet, he was Gao Rui.
Hearing that they had set up camp, the soldiers seemed to be in good spirits again, and they regrouped, pulled the reins, and ran into the valley.
The valley is not very wide, and the cliffs on both sides intersect the valley, leaving only a winding path that is not too wide.
They lined up in several columns and walked towards the valley, a group of men and horses, all wearing black armor, but among the yellow sand of the desert, it was quite eye-catching.
A noisy hoof of horses slowly trotted through the valley, raising up a burst of sand.
Between the sand and soil, the enemy troops who had already been ambushed here were tense.
They seemed to know that Gao Rui and they were going to pass through here, so they laid an ambush on the cliffs on both sides early, these people were wearing white armor, the crossbow arrows in their hands had been wound, they looked at the black army that dared to break into the valley, this group of people, really fell into the trap of the white army, they are like a group of lambs to the slaughter, as long as they kill the leader of the black army, they can quell this rebellion.
"Here's it, rest!" , The whole army has entered the valley, Gao Rui looked around, this place is very good, there are cliffs on both sides, which can block and block for them.
The black army did not seem to notice anything wrong, and the hearing that it could be corrected seemed to make them a little excited, and they were full of energy, took out the supplies they had brought with them, and began to set up camp.
The valley seemed to be lively, some of them talking and talking, some of them humming a little tune, completely unaware that danger had crept in.
