Chapter 696: Stopping the Rescue
Guo Jia led the troops to realize Yang Zhao's great and risky plan.
Zhang Xiu, Zhang He, Gao Lan and Xu Huang, the four generals, followed by their side, and in order to plan, they were very urgent, and hurried overnight, non-stop to the north of Danhan Mountain.
I was worried that the speed of going was slow, and if Yang Zhao was in any danger, they would not be able to make up for it even if they died a hundred times.
They traveled all the way, and it was not until midnight that they stopped to rest.
The moonlight is dim tonight, and there is only one crescent moon left in the sky.
Guo Jia stood under the moon, looked up at the sky, and said: "The night is dark, the moonlight is dim, it is not suitable to continue to rush overnight, if the enemy has an ambush in the dark, even if the scouts and shadows are not easy to find." ”
The shadow is very strong in detecting news and enemy traces, but the shadow is not omnipotent, and has no night vision, although under Yang Zhao's arrangement, many soldiers do not have night blindness, but their vision at night is still not very good.
The shadows and scouts go out to spy on the enemy, and when they get into the darkness and light the torches, they tell the enemy that they are here.
"All stop and rest."
Guo Jia said, and then asked, "Is there a place nearby where I can hide people?" ”
"Yes!"
The shadow man immediately came over and said, "About five miles to the north, there is a valley where you can hide people, and three miles to the east, there is a hillside, and if the enemy wants to hide, you can do it." ”
Guo Jia said: "Send people to prepare and investigate these two places. ”
Xu Huang asked, "Sir, do you think that the enemy will come to intercept and kill us?" ”
The interception of the Xianbei people has already been carried out once, but for them, it has almost no effect, and it will be killed quickly.
Guo Jia nodded slightly and said: "Xianbei people can arrange it once, there will be no second time, all strengthen their vigilance, they can't relax, when they rest, the weapons do not leave their bodies, and the soldiers who stand guard in turn all bring arrows, and if there is a situation, shoot arrows immediately." ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers below responded in unison.
Soon they found a leeward place to set up camp.
The whole army stopped to rest.
The shadow people, as well as the scouts, are constantly moving outside.
The defenses are super strict.
Before I knew it, it was early in the morning.
When it's almost dawn.
Guo Jia and the others have long been asleep.
The soldiers who stood guard in rotation were a little tired and their vigilance was much more relaxed.
The shadows and scouts did not find any problems in the darkness for the time being, and the number of people sent out was appropriately reduced, and the scope of investigation was also narrowed back to the cage.
Within a radius of five miles, everything was safe, and they didn't find anything for the time being.
The time period when it is about to dawn is a time when people are struggling.
A total of more than 20,000 Xianbei people appeared five miles away and quickly approached the camp.
The shadow is not an iron person, he has been busy for a night, and the scope and number of activities are less, even if he acts in batches, he feels tired at this time, so there is a loophole in the external investigation.
Sima Yi just wanted to take advantage of this loophole, and had already instructed the people below what to do and how to stop this force that came to save Yang Zhao.
Before dawn, the Xianbei approached the camp.
Although the Xianbei people came suddenly, the soldiers on duty still noticed something, and when they saw an enemy appearing, they immediately shot an arrow into the sky.
A shrill whistle echoed near the camp.
The other soldiers standing guard heard the sound of the arrow, and one jumped up excitedly, and the feeling of drowsiness disappeared in an instant, and they also shot the arrows together.
The shrill sound woke everyone in the camp.
When they were marching and fighting, they slept relatively lightly.
Before waiting for the order, all the soldiers immediately jumped up and gathered and rushed in the direction where the sound of arrows came.
Xu Huang and them also got up as soon as possible.
When the whole army was assembled, I saw that the Xianbei people outside had already killed the edge of the camp.
Guo Jia also got up, looked out, and shouted, "Fire!" ”
A group of soldiers armed with rifles, shot and fired, and machine gunners pulled the trigger.
More than 20,000 Xianbei people, as soon as they approached, they were killed one piece, all the front row fell, and the people in the back row were afraid of this intensive firepower counterattack, so they retreated directly, not daring to fight again.
"Sir is right."
Gao Ran said: "The Xianbei people may know that we will go to the Savior, so they will send someone to intercept it. ”
Zhang He asked, "What should we do next?" ”
Looking at the retreating Xianbei soldiers, Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "Hold your ground, continue to strengthen your defenses, and go to investigate the shadows again to see how the enemy moves." ”
The shadow came out of the camp and hurried in the direction the enemy had left.
After more than an hour, the shadow returned.
"The enemy is far away."
After getting the news, Guo Jia touched the beard on his chin, as if thinking, what are Xianbei people doing this for?
"Keep marching!"
Guo Jia thought about it in the end, and almost had an idea.
It depends on what the Xianbei people want to do next.
By this time it was already dawn, and the whole army had drawn camp and continued to the north.
But not long after walking, a group of tens of thousands of cavalry suddenly rushed from the east to kill.
"Fire, shoot!"
When Guo Jia saw this, he had to ask people to stop, and the shells bombarded out first.
The cavalry who rushed over was knocked over on the spot.
The horses, frightened by the sound of the explosions, ran around and had to turn and withdraw.
The cavalry was fast and went far in the blink of an eye.
"What are the Xianbei people doing this for?"
Xu Huang said: "They want to fight, but they don't seem to want to fight much. ”
Zhang Xiu said: "I guess, it's trying to delay the speed of our northward journey." ”
Guo Jia nodded slightly and said: "Youwei is right, they are dragging us so that they can concentrate their forces to deal with the lord, but this kind of blocking is not easy to deal with, and the valley mentioned by the shadow is in front." ”
In that valley, there is a possibility of Tibetans.
There is a certain danger.
Sure enough, the shadow immediately returned with news.
In the valley, there are tens of thousands of Xianbei people.
They are in the mountains, waiting for the battle, and according to the terrain, it is not easy to fight through.
"How long does it take to walk around the road?"
Guo Jia asked.
"Half a day!"
"Coming from the valley, even if it is covered with firearms, it may take about a day."
Guo Jia analyzed for a while and said: "Take a detour, and at the same time put the whole army on alert, continue to go north, Youwei will lead 20,000 troops, and wait until I listen to my orders to solve those enemies who delay us going north, is it okay?" ”
He didn't want to be delayed.
If it continues to drag on, even if it is delayed for half a day, Yang Zhao may be in danger.
"I'm fine!"
Zhang Xiu first said: "Please arrange it!" ”
They all trust Guo Jia.
How powerful those strategists are, they know very well as generals.
"Good!"
Guo Jia said loudly: "Take a detour first, and when the Xianbei people will definitely appear, Youwei will fight back according to my arrangement." ”
He does not intend to continue to defend actively.
Instead, we should fight back.
