…

Linjiadian is in the southwest of Qixian Village.

It turned out to be a big river.

Due to successive droughts, it has dried up into a north-south road.

The road is littered with fine gravel and gravel, and is flanked by long slopes with large forests of golden pines.

In the dark night, under the moonlight, nearly 10,000 tiger troops came to Linjiadian in the dark.

For the sake of secrecy, the Tiger Army did not light torches, and the soldiers of the Tiger Army marched this rugged gravel road.

"Zihou, this road is difficult, several people have been injured in falls, otherwise light a few torches to clear the road ahead?" Zhang Shi said to Li Cun.

If you light a torch and you can see it from afar, then what kind of ambush is there?

So Li Cun categorically refused: "I can't kill people by falling a few times, but if I can't ambush Yu Yancheng, but ask Yu Yancheng to ambush me, it will kill people - countless people!" ”

Li Cun then ordered: "Guard the battalion, follow me to the forefront!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Cun walked in front of everyone with the five hundred personal guard battalions selected from the nearly 10,000 tiger army, which were both the best and the most loyal.

With Li Cun and the personal guard battalion leading by example, what else can others say, they can only obediently follow forward.

At about midnight, the Tiger Ben army had only traveled twenty miles of the river to the site of the ambush.

At this time, everyone was tired enough, but fortunately, no one was left behind.

Li Cun's choice of ambush was a narrow river channel with a relatively flat middle and an S-shaped bend of about 200 meters in the direction of Qixian Village.

Li Cun said to Baihua and Zhang Shi: "You two must remember that you must wait until Yu Yancheng's men and horses have all crossed this narrow road before attacking." ”

Fang Baihua replied calmly: "No! ”

However, Zhang Shi was very nervous, and even responded to Li Cun, only after hearing Fang Baihua's response, did he hurriedly "promise".

To be honest, if there was another choice, Li Cun would definitely not let Zhang Shi, who was obviously not suitable for leading the troops, lead the troops.

But as soon as he came, Li Cun really didn't have a talent to stand alone, and Niu Meng, the only one with some qualifications, had to lead the Ma army to pursue the mission.

Second, after all, Zhang Shi is the nominal second leader of the Tiger Ben Army, if he doesn't let him prove that he is really not good, he will not completely give up, and maybe he will have a dislike with Li Cun, the key is that it will make people feel that Li Cun is a merciless person.

Thirdly, Zhang Shi's task this time is not important, the main thing is to scare Yu Yancheng's people, let Yu Yancheng's people run forward, and lead 6,000 recruits with Fang Baihua to break off.

Seeing that Zhang Shi was already nervous to this extent before the enemy came, Li Cun specially instructed Zhang Shi a few words: "If you think that something cannot be violated, ignite the two thunderbolts I handed over to you, and then ask the soldiers led by you to shout to kill Yu Yancheng, and you can not rush down." ”

The so-called thunderbolt is Li Cun commanded the craftsman who sells fireworks and firecrackers in the village to make four large hemp thunder, because Li Cun does not have the time and materials to dispense gunpowder, so he can only use the gunpowder provided by the craftsman who sells fireworks and firecrackers, the gunpowder has too many impurities, and the ratio is not standard, it will definitely not kill people, but it is no problem to scare the enemy, especially the enemy's war horse.

After listening to Li Cun's words to him, Zhang Shi only felt panicked, and he hurriedly assured Li Cun: "Zihou, don't worry, I will not miss your big thing!" ”

Li Cun didn't say anything more, and only asked Fang Baihua and Zhang Shige to lead 3,000 recruits to ambush in the money pine forest on both sides of the road.

At the same time, Li Cun also led the remaining 4,000 people to ambush the rear of the S-shaped river.

Not to mention how Li Cun set up the formation.

It was only said that after Zhang Shi led people to ambush, he waited for the enemy who might come.

On the night of late autumn, the mountain wind blew a chill, and the continuous march exhausted the recruits of the Tiger Army, and many people fell asleep there.

"Zhang Xianggong, will Yu Yancheng really come here?" After waiting for more than half an hour, the anxiety began to spread among the recruits of the Tiger Ben Army, and Zhang Shi's herald quietly asked Zhang Shi.

"Naturally, Zihou already has accurate information." Zhang Shi's tone was more like cheering up, both to his heralds and to himself.

The thick drowsiness hit him for a while, Zhang Shi couldn't help but doze off for a while, his head drooped, his body was crooked, he almost fell, and after waking up, he was cold, he was shocked, and quickly pushed the people around him.

"Wake up, wake up, don't sleep, you will get sick if you sleep hard."

After waking up the people around him one by one, Zhang Shi and the officers went down to the battalions separately to wake up the whole army.

"Why haven't you come yet, but the general's information is wrong?" Su Dong looked at the dark mountains and forests, and muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, a sharp-eyed person suddenly said in surprise: "Look, torch!" ”

"It's finally here, go and report to Zhang Xianggong!" Su Dong couldn't help but stand up.

The news of the enemy's arrival immediately spread throughout the army, and all the anxiety and restlessness were swept away.

When the morning star loomed in the sky, Yu Yancheng's vanguard force, a horse army with 300 horses, under the leadership of Yu Yancheng, passed under the noses of the Tiger Army recruits led by Fang Baihua and Zhang Shi with torches.

Then came the brigade - a thousand elite infantry armed with sharp weapons, dressed in paper armor and even leather armor.

The officer on the war horse ordered loudly from time to time: "Hurry, there is a strict order outside the Yu Commander, and we must rush to Shangxiandu before dawn!" ”

Loud footsteps, cursing, panting, and crashing broke the silence of the river.

After the large army, the enemy's baggage troops arrived, and a large number of people drove mules and horse-drawn carts slowly on the river, and the carts were piled with grain, grass, tents and other things.

Seeing the enemy situation clearly, and estimating the distance between Yu Yancheng's vanguard and the river where Li Cun and them were ambushed, Su Dong hurriedly and quietly touched Zhang Shi's side and said to Zhang Shi: "Zhang Xianggong, you can't wait for all the people to pass, otherwise you will definitely delay the fighter." ”

Zhang Shi, who was already very nervous, suddenly became even more nervous when he heard Su Dong say this, and he subconsciously said: "Can ...... Zihou told me not to attack rashly......"

Zhang Shi was so anxious that he was sweating!

The good thing is that -

At this moment, two loud noises sounded in the golden pine forest opposite.

These two loud noises frightened the mules and horses in the river to neigh, and people's hearts were in turmoil!

Immediately afterward, there was a shout of killing in the opposite Golden Pine Forest, and then a large number of black shadows rushed down the river from the opposite Golden Pine Forest......

When Zhang Shi saw it, he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, fire the cannon!" ”

Hearing this, the two gunners hurriedly took out the fire twist and lit the thunder.

One of the gunners was too hasty with Zhang Shi's order, and after lighting the thunder, he forgot to throw it out, and his fingers were injured.

When Zhang Shi saw it, he was even more flustered, and then even more overwhelmed!

Seeing this, Su Dong couldn't care about overstepping, and shouted: "Zhang Xianggong has an order, kill the enemy with me!" Then he took the lead in rushing out with a bamboo gun.

Seeing this, the rest of the generals hurriedly rushed into the river with the recruits they led.

When everyone was almost done, Zhang Shicai hung behind others in a trance and staggered into the river......

The silent river exploded with a loud sound like the sky and the earth cracking, making the already timid people scatter in an instant, and they were in chaos.

Taking advantage of the enemy's chaotic strength, Fang Baihua decisively led people to charge.

Then there were two loud noises like the sky crashing and the earth cracking, and countless figures rushed out of the money pine forest on the other side.

The people who were ambushed were immediately so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy again and again.

Yu Yancheng, who was at the front, saw that he was ambushed by the enemy, and after observing the terrain a little, he judged that if they fled back at this moment, the heavy baggage troops would be in the front, the infantry would be in the middle, and the horse army would be at the end, so they would definitely be congested on the narrow road they had passed before.

At that time, if an army comes up from behind them, they will be lambs to the slaughter.

Yu Yancheng was ruthless and decisively ordered: "Don't take care of the rear team, you will all rush forward with me!" ”

With Yu Yancheng's order, the three hundred horse troops got on their horses one after another, and then gathered the elite of the infantry army behind them and rushed forward together.

Originally, Yu Yancheng wanted the Ma Army to run, and then they could give full play to the Ma Army's greatest advantage.

But this is an S-shaped river, and the Ma army can't speed up here at all.

Seeing this, Yu Yancheng's heart tightened: "There must be an ambush ahead!" ”

When Yu Yancheng passed through this S-shaped river, he saw at a glance that there was indeed an army in ambush ahead.

This army, numbering about three or four thousand, looked strange in their costumes, each with their legs tied, food bags on their backs, and bamboo tubes carrying water on their waists.

If you look closely, the 3,000 people in the middle are all holding particularly long spears, some of which are like the pikemen of the Qin Dynasty recorded in the history books.

To the left of the pikemen were less than twenty horses, and they had set aside plenty of acceleration tracks, but unfortunately this track was only enough for two horses to run side by side, and the front was sealed by a specially separated pikemen.

On the right side are infantry with a variety of weapons and a messy arrangement, and Yu Yancheng even saw a lot of bamboos in them.

Seeing that there were three or four thousand enemies, Yu Yancheng's sweat poured out at once.

But fortunately, almost all of the enemies were infantry troops, which gave Yu Yancheng a glimmer of hope for defeating the enemy.

Of course, Yu Yancheng hopes to sort out the battle formation, and then fight a decisive battle with the Tiger Ben Army in front.

But as soon as Yu Yancheng and the others appeared, Li Cun on the opposite side ordered loudly: "Come in!" ”

With Li Cun's order, three or four thousand men and horses marched forward in unison.

Yu Yancheng knew that he couldn't wait any longer, if they didn't launch a counterattack, they would definitely not even have this runway for acceleration, and at that time, their three hundred horse troops who couldn't run would have to be slaughtered by the other party.

And if their 300 horse army could not break through the enemy's battle formation, then most of the more than 1,000 infantry behind them who were not subordinate to each other spelled out by various landlords would also fold here.

Yu Yancheng said secretly: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!" Then he raised the saber in his hand and shouted: "The thief on the other side blocks our way of life, if we don't defeat it, we will all die here, and those who don't want to die will go with my life!" ”

After speaking, Yu Yancheng took the lead and killed him.

The situation is indeed as Yu Yancheng said, therefore, the three hundred horse troops who want to live can only rush out with Yu Yancheng, and the more than 1,000 infantry troops behind the three hundred horse army, seeing that the horse army has launched a charge, can only follow the horse army to charge!

Under Li Cun's deliberate control, the straight-line distance between the two sides was very close.

Therefore, in an instant, the two sides fought together......
