Chapter 675: The Great Stone Gate Array
On the South Sichuan Road, on the long and narrow road like a snake, the two brigades that set off from Panlong City lined up Weilong, rolled up a piece of flying dust and quickly passed through this Sichuan throat, and pounced on the Sichuan Valley.
Baron Xishan is not a blind flatterer, and he still has a little ability, although he hurried to the road, he still sent a large number of scouts in advance, and the South Sichuan Road was long and narrow and straight, and there were dense forests and mountains on both sides, and it was not a problem to hide eighteen thousand people, and the places suitable for ambushes could be pointed out casually.
Fortunately, the giant deer cavalry under his command is good at climbing mountains and mountains and walking in mountains and forests. Running through this forest will not delay too long, but even so, the speed of the march cannot help but slow down.
At the north entrance of South Sichuan Province, the mountains and rivers are open like a horn here, and the field of vision suddenly widens, "but the wide field of vision" does not mean that the road after is a flat river, "several nearby stone mountains have been dug up for the half", and the top is also bare. And at the foot of the mountain, it is even more rocky.
Here is the quarry at the north entrance of South Sichuan Province, the scale is not small, but it used to be very lively, the sound of chisels, the sound of shouts came out of the stonemasons from afar, and the labor force has long disappeared without a trace. Compiled in the camp of craftsmen.
Qin Liangyu led three battalions of soldiers and horses to "rush overnight, and hurriedly traveled for a day and night", and finally came to the north and south entrances of Sichuan on the fourth day, but at this moment, this place has changed greatly, and in the stone field, piles of stones are piled up to a height of zhang and stretch out along both sides of the official road, which is two or three miles.
And at this moment, on the official road, there are also many armor pushing boulders. Move it to the official road, "each of these boulders is very large", weighing thousands of catties, but the height is only more than one meter, "it can't block people's sight", and it is very sparsely arranged, just put a piece every few meters, "although it looks like it's in the way, it won't make people feel any danger."
Qin Liangyu and his entourage marched all the way to the camp commander of a member of the battalion commander who was in charge of the big swing stone gate formation, came to the side of the official road early, beat his horse and followed behind Qin Liangyu, and said, "Command." Look at it, 'This stone gate array is still as you say!'
Qin Liangyu nodded and said, "It's not difficult to set up the stone gate array, but the conditions for use are harsh, but the existence of several quarries here is a big help, is there any news in the direction of Panlong City?"
"A few scouts guarding the south entrance of Panlong have already let the birds back, they have entered South Sichuan Road, but the number is no less than 10,000 people' and there is also an elite noble brigade here, and the people who opened the way are all giant deer cavalry, will we ambush too few people?"
"Heh, no matter how many people there are, it's useless, as long as they dare to enter the Shimen Formation, don't think about going out safely, the ambush soldiers in the mountains won't be discovered by the other party's scouts!"
"No, I chose all the old hunters in the mountains, 'how to hide the smell' hiding in the mountains and forests, these people have the best skills, and the nearby trees are smeared with incense resin, even the monsters will be confused, unless the other party's scouts investigate inch by inch, they will definitely not find our ambush people."
"Well, here you are staring, 'I'll go and rest for a while!'"
The army of the nobles of Jiugan was marching quickly on the South Sichuan Road, and the scouts returned from time to time. The road was safe, and I saw that I had passed half of South Sichuan Road, but I still didn't find any ambush.
"My lord's opinion, the other party has no spare strength to come here to ambush us, didn't the messenger of the city in Sichuan say, the other party's soldiers and horses attacking the city are enough for five or six people' This should be all their soldiers and horses, and seeing that they are attacking very urgently, plus what they did in Sichuan, it is estimated that they are hungry enough in the mountains, and they can't bear it, so they took advantage of the loophole, and planned to turn over with salted fish!"
"Marching and fighting, the most taboo is to underestimate the enemy, how many soldiers and horses the other side has, there is no accurate number at all, if the other party is more than these five or six thousand people, South Sichuan Road is the southern throat of the Central Sichuan Valley, unless the other party is a stupid idiot, it is impossible not to send some people here to block! Ahead is Feiyan Ridge, the narrowest section of South Sichuan Road, let everyone cheer up, and I am always ready to fight!"
As the order was laid, the march of the thousands slowed down suddenly, and the shield-bearers took off their shields and guarded them on both sides, ready to deal with the arrows that might come from both sides, and the team also pulled some distance, and the front team went out first.
After a series of countermeasures, the imaginary ambush did not appear, the brigade of soldiers and horses passed through Shuangyanling one after another, and after here, the remaining distance was less than one-third, could it be that the other party really had no ambush, Baron Xishan thought so, but shook his head, the other party must have planned to paralyze them carelessly, so that they lost their vigilance, but suddenly launched! Baron Xishan thought like this, and suddenly there was a sound of fighting in front of the invisible mountain range, and this shouting and killing sound immediately pulled Baron Xishan back to reality, and shouted loudly: "The whole army is on alert, scouts are on the way!"
Hula, with the roar of Baron Xishan, the soldiers and horses on the entire official road suddenly became chaotic, and the soldiers and horses in front and behind were okay 'These are noble private troops. After a lot of time of training, they have participated in the big battle, so they are quite calm, but the newly recruited young men in the middle are all rookies, and this nervousness suddenly panicked, making the middle lane chaotic.
Baron Nishiyama almost tilted his nose when he saw the virtue of the team, but fortunately, the chaos only lasted for a moment, and he formed a defensive circle amid the shouts and cheers of officers at all levels.
"Report to the ......" report to the commander, the two battalions of soldiers and horses in front of the army were ambushed by the enemy's soldiers and horses, "the enemy planted flags on the mountains and bluffed", but it was seen through by the commander of the front battalion, "Now the enemy soldiers and horses in ambush have been defeated and retreated from the official road, and the commander of the front battalion has led people to chase after them!"
Baron Xishan just groaned for a moment, and then said loudly:
"The whole army is speeding up its march! "The previous ambush 'did not make him afraid' but made him feel more at ease, but the other party was defeated and retreated, and the front camp pursued. But it made him worried, if the other party deliberately lured the king into the urn, wouldn't it be a trick, but the front camp was dangerous, but the brigade of soldiers and horses was relatively safe.
The pursuit was not smooth, 'the brigade of soldiers and horses chased out two or three miles, and caught up with some of the soldiers and horses in the front battalion' and Baron Xishan stepped forward to know that the other party was actually full of trees, rocks, and blocking the road on the official road, these obstacles are naturally not an obstacle for the giant deer cavalry who are good at jumping, but for the infantry, they have to stop and clean up.
"Clear these obstacles immediately! and send someone to 'contact me with the cavalry of the front battalion' so that they don't chase after them, and beware of an ambush!" Although Baron Xishan said this, he was much more relieved in his heart, not afraid of the enemy's move, but afraid that the enemy would not make a move.
"Yes, my lord!" the giant deer cavalry sped over the obstacle in front of them and disappeared into the mountains.
Zhang Song, is a lord's one of the henchmen of the Baron of Xishan, Zhang Song is not old, less than thirty years old, but he is a genius who is not too big and small, less than thirty, he is already the middle level of the earth spirit, he has this strength, in addition to being good at drilling camps, it is difficult to think of underdevelopment, especially the aristocratic rebellion, this person is quite active in it, and now he is the deputy brigade commander of this brigade, the right and left hand of Baron Xishan, leading Baron Xishan's elite giant deer monster ride.
Therefore, Zhang Song's heart is very angry, because he has suffered few setbacks, and the Rock Legion in this year's time, first Xiangyang was defeated, and then it was divided, such soldiers and horses are difficult for people to connect with the elite standing army of the empire, not to mention that these two brigades are still newly built brigades, and it is not a big deal to think about it, even if the other party has an ambush, what can they do' As soon as their giant horned deer rode forward, why did the other party block it.
In this way, without scruples, more than ten miles away, the giant horned deer cavalry chased the cavalry sent by the other party all the way to the north entrance of Nanchuan Road, but the dozens of cavalry of the other party turned left and right on the official road and then drilled into the stone piles on both sides, losing their shadows.
Zhang Song stopped the team, although Zhang Song looked down on the other party's vulnerable soldiers, but there was something strange in front of him, the stone piles on both sides were like tombs, making people unable to see through the reality at a glance, could it be that the other party planned to use these stone piles as an ambush?
What a whims!
Zhang Song glanced left and right, and finally turned his gaze to the left, waved his sword, and said, "Follow me in!" said the giant horned deer beast under the driver's crotch and jumped into the stone pile a few times.
In the pile of rocks, the stones more than one zhang high are scattered, so that the field of vision suddenly becomes less than ten meters, and it is impossible to see the whole picture of this stone henge, and the three hundred giant deer ride into this stone henge, just like a stone lake that is embarrassing, and disappear without a trace in an instant.
The distance between each stone pile is only one or two zhang wide, so it is impossible to gather together, and the three hundred giant deer cavalry can only be scattered, and the cavalry of a group is naturally divided by these stone piles, and the view of the stone pile is blocked, which is equivalent to directly dispersing the whole into countless parts.
The Giant Horn Deer Cavalry continued to advance, and did not see half a shadow after more than 200 meters, and at this moment, a figure flashed from behind a stone pile, and the nearby Giant Horned Deer Cavalry who found this shadow immediately chased after it, but they did not know that because of the field of vision, not everyone found the shadow, and their actions were not seen by others, just like that, several Giant Horned Deer Cavalry on the periphery were led out.
Before he could run more than twenty meters, a spear was suddenly thrown from the dark place of the stone pile, and the giant horned deer cavalry who had just rushed over was directly pierced by this spear from the side ribs, and the remaining few cavalrymen did not react, from several other directions, several hunters who suddenly flashed raised their bows and arrows, a smile appeared at the corner of their mouths, and they released their thumbs.
Whoosh, swish, swish! The arrow slashed through a cold ray, and flew towards the cavalrymen who had not yet recovered their senses.
