Chapter 418: Cannon Fodder Attack

In addition, the land on both sides, which should have been mountain cliffs, has also become a small mound less than twenty or thirty meters high at this time. The original Tiger Leaping Gorge has long been out of character.

Ambush them in such a place, with the advantage of their cavalry, it is quite possible to rush up to the mound and easily annihilate the enemy who is ambushed in it.

After all, the slope is not high, and it can still be done if there is nothing else to obstruct it.

It's really not the best place to ambush in a place like that.

Aside from there, on the way from Yangfeng City to Jingyang City, there was no better place to ambush.

He didn't believe in Jiang Chao's army, and dared to confront his Jurchen cavalry head-on in the open land of the plain.

Therefore, no matter whether Jiang Chao chooses to ambush in Tiger Leaping Gorge or confront him head-on in the plains, there is only a dead end in the end.

However, Zong Han did not mean to underestimate the enemy. After all, the prestige of Jiang Chao and the subordinate army was there, and he didn't dare to underestimate it.

"The front army sent those Zhao troops to explore the way, and the rear army stayed away from them, don't get too close......" Zong Han said to the general beside him.

Hearing this, the man nodded and immediately went to herald.

When the Great Zhao army of the front army marched, they were all trembling, and after learning that the Jurchen warrior Arub had been killed, and the 2,000 cavalry had not survived, they were terrified.

The army that can defeat the Jurchens is still in the shadows, can they not be afraid!

What worries them the most is that the Jurchens completely regard them as cannon fodder, once they meet that strong army, they are afraid that they will become cannon fodder again.

When they attacked Yang Feng City, they were already more than 20,000 dead, and they were already desperate to see their former comrades die in front of their eyes one by one.

But in the face of the Jurchens, they didn't even have the courage to resist, but these people had the courage to raise the butcher's knife against their fellow Chinese.

I don't know if to call them pathetic or pathetic!

The Jurchen general who gave the order came to the front, and after Zong Han's order was issued, this person glanced coldly at several generals of the Great Zhao Army, his eyes were full of disdain and disdain.

With such eyes, the hearts of several Great Zhao generals were full of anger and unwillingness, but they did not dare to have any intention of resisting.

The Jurchen general glanced at several generals of the Great Zhao Army mockingly, turned around and rode away.

One of the Great Zhao generals glanced at the back of the departing man and clenched his fists.

"General Liu, do we really want to be cannon fodder for the Jurchens! Those golden people are so hateful that they don't treat us as human beings at all......"

With his words, several other Zhao generals around him also looked at this commander at the same time. He is the commander of the Great Zhao Army who surrendered to Cheng this time, and his name is Liu Shiguang.

Speaking of which, this person is also somewhat prestigious in the Great Zhao army, but in the confrontation with the Jurchens, after hearing about the courage of the Jurchens, he didn't even resist, and directly led his 50,000 people to surrender.

In his heart, Da Zhao is dead, who else is he loyal to?! It is better to surrender to the Jurchens, so as to gain a lifetime of wealth.

It's just that he never imagined that the Jurchens would use them as cannon fodder, or, from the moment he surrendered, he should think about his fate.

Hearing the words of the general beside him, Liu Shiguang's face showed a look of hidden anger, but there was also a wave of helplessness:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have no way back now, and it is up to the Jin people to live or die. Even if I want to resist now, do you think we will have a chance to survive? It's better to gamble, at least, we can still save our lives! ”

When Liu Shiguang's words heard everyone's ears, all the generals were silent.

There are only 30,000 of them left, and even if there are 50,000 of them, they don't dare to confront the Jurchens, let alone now.

They had no way back except to be cannon fodder for the Jurchens. Besides, it was his soldiers who died as cannon fodder, not them.

As Liu Shiguang said, even if all the soldiers under his command are gone, they still have a chance to survive if they hide behind.

It's better than rebelling against the Jurchens and dying now! If the cannon fodder is done well, the Jurchens may still be able to fight for a lifetime of wealth.

Glancing at each other helplessly, a group of generals hurriedly commanded their Da Zhao army to march forward, and after about a day, they finally arrived at the Tiger Leaping Gorge in front.

Looking at the Tiger Leaping Gorge that has not changed in front of me. The eyes of the generals of the Great Zhao Army showed a look of doubt.

They had already heard that if the army came, the most likely ambush place would be this Tiger Leaping Gorge. But from a distance, there were no ambushes around Tiger Leaping Gorge.

This made them frown, and their eyes were full of hesitation. But after a little hesitation, he still commanded a brigade of 30,000 people and headed in the direction of Tiger Leaping Gorge

After the army, Zong Han stopped, his eyes looked at the Tiger Leaping Gorge in the distance, his brows furrowed, and his expression became colder and colder. Whether there is an ambush or not, after the former army is tempted, we will know.

If there is an ambush, he will definitely let the ambush soldiers there know what fear is.

In the cat's ear hole on the side of Tiger Leaping Gorge, the 10,000 soldiers have already hollowed out half of the mountain here.

Most of the disciples are hidden in it. The artillery battalion was already in place in its hideout behind the mountain. And the rifle battalions are also combat-ready.

It's just that the ambush of the children's army is not a blocking war.

Jiang Chao practiced positional warfare, and even if he gave way in the middle, he was not worried that the Jurchens would break through it.

Even if it was to break through, there would still be an army of 40,000 of the Yuan Zhao army in the rear to block it. It is definitely possible to snipe the Jurchens who escaped there.

Jiang Chao only needs to hold the position here, and the Jurchens will definitely not be able to cross this Tiger Leaping Gorge. Neither can a detour.

Moreover, the detour is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive. You also have to go around the mountains on both sides of Tiger Leaping Gorge.

For cavalry, it can exert a strong combat power on the plains, but if it enters the mountains and forests, the combat power will definitely be more than halved.

Unless it is a last resort, otherwise, the Jurchens will never bypass the Tiger Leaping Gorge.

And Jiang Chao had already sent the 50,000-strong army of the Yuan Zhao army around the back of the Jurchens. Just cut off the way for the Jurchens to retreat. Jiang Chao was confident that he would keep the 100,000 Jurchen army here.

However, the premise is that the combat power of the Yuan Zhao army can meet his requirements. Jiang Chao did not expect the Yuan Zhao army to confront the Jurchen army head-on.

He only needs Yuan Zhaojun to snipe. The rest is that he took advantage of the terrain of the Tiger Leaping Gorge to consume the combat strength and morale of the Jurchen army little by little.

Although the rifle battalion in hand only had 3,000 rifle battalions, plus a 1,000 artillery battalion, and a large number of musketeers. The enemy on the opposite side was 100,000 men, 70,000 of whom were cavalry.
