Chapter 329: Heavy Blow
Jinshan took Huangling, Huanglong, and Guishan deeper and deeper to the south, and more than forty miles away from Jinlong City, the flat beach began to turn into sand dunes, and then into mountains again.
Although these mountains are not large, the road through them is narrow and rugged, sometimes between two mountains, sometimes halfway up the mountainside, making it difficult to walk.
"These mountains are natural ambush grounds, and if there is a relatively narrow valley, we can determine it," Kameyama said. ”
"Don't be anxious, look ahead. We can go as far as a hundred miles from Golden Dragon City to ambush, as long as it is not more than a hundred miles. Huang Long looked ahead and said.
"Jinshan, the terrain here is simple, you can fly faster, let's take a look!" Huang Ling said.
Jin Shan increased his flight speed and continued along the southbound road.
In less than two quarters of an hour, Jinshan flew more than forty miles south, flew out of the mountains, and came to a large flat beach.
Huang Ling looked at the flat beach in front of him and said, "Okay, we can't go any further south, let's take a look here first." ”
Huang Long said, "It's right here." You see, the three great roads from the south converge into this ravine, and although the ravine is not long, it is wide enough to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers, and if we lie in ambush on the surrounding hills, our vanguard can inflict maximum damage on them when the Haiyang Bang troops arrive. ”
Huang Ling listened to Huang Long's words, turned his head and glanced at the mountain range more than forty miles wide behind him, and said, "This is a good place for ambushes, but it is nearly ninety miles away from Golden Dragon City, and there are still dozens of miles of difficult mountain roads, so it is too hard for our soldiers to come here." ”
Kameyama said: "According to my observations and calculations, the Haiyang Bang team will probably arrive here tomorrow afternoon, and if we ambush here, we will have to arrive here tomorrow morning, which is too difficult for our soldiers." ”
"Yes, we flew here mainly to understand the situation. From what we know, it is entirely feasible to set up an ambush in these forty miles of mountains. But if the distance is too far, our soldiers will not be able to arrive in advance. Even if you can get there, if you are too tired, it is not conducive to fighting. My idea is to leave these dozens of miles of mountains to the soldiers of Haiyang State, and we can wait for work at ease. Jin Shan said.
"Brother Jinshan's words make a lot of sense. Guishan, according to your calculations, where can the Haiyang Bang team advance tomorrow evening or the morning after tomorrow? Huang Ling said.
Kameyama thought for a moment and said, "There are two possibilities, one is a normal situation and the other is an abnormal situation. According to the normal pace of sixty miles a day, they will arrive here in the early afternoon of tomorrow afternoon, and they will be able to reach the middle of the mountain range and camp in the evening. If it is an abnormal situation, it is divided into two types: fast and slow. Judging by the speedy situation, they will be able to walk out of the mountain tomorrow evening and reach the edge of the beach to the north. According to the slow situation, they can only walk to the place where we are now. ”
Huang Ling said: "We can only plan according to the speed of the Haiyang Bang team, so that it will be beneficial for us to ambush. According to Kameyama's calculations, it is indeed a bit risky for us to ambush here. In this case, we will choose the location according to the ambush battle that will be held tomorrow afternoon. According to this criterion, we should set up an ambush in the northern half of this ridge, how about you see? ”
"Yes, I agree." Jin Shan heard Guishan's calculations and Huang Ling's analysis, and said first.
"I agree." Kameyama said.
"Okay, let's go back and choose!" Huang Long also nodded and said.
Jin Shan flew northward, and at this time, he flew relatively slowly, mainly to facilitate Huang Ling, Huang Long, and Guishan to observe the terrain.
Jin Shan flew slowly along the path that Hai Duong Bang's team was supposed to walk, while Huang Ling, Huang Long, and Gui Shan carefully examined the direction and terrain of the mountain range below.
An hour later, they came to the middle of the mountain.
Here they found something that had rushed by earlier without noticing.
When I flew to the south, due to the fast speed, I only took a general look at the terrain and knew that there was a wide flat land here, which could completely station tens of thousands of living beings, and it was a good place for the team to temporarily station and rest.
If you look closely from the south, you can see that it is not only an open flat land, but also a place where five roads converge.
From here to the south, there are three roads leading to the southeast, south, and southwest, and to the north there is a road that is the same road that Kanayama flew over when he came in front of him.
There is also a road that leads to the west, and when you look at it from the back of the golden mountain, it seems to lead all the way to the westernmost point, and it is supposed to be the road that connects the western meadows.
Jin Shan said excitedly: "This is it!" This is a place where all directions converge, a place of locks and keys. Set up an ambush here, and you can meet the enemy from all directions. Set up a card here, you can manage the five parties. What a great place! ”
Huang Long looked at this, nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, yes, setting up an ambush here can block the enemy from the three places in the south, and it is a good place to fight!" ”
Kameyama said, "This is about one hundred and ten miles from the southern border where Haiyang Bang's team departed, and about seventy miles from Golden Dragon City, so it is a suitable location. Our troops will be here by tomorrow morning at the latest, and they will be able to prepare for battle with relative ease. ”
Huang Ling looked at this place and nodded silently.
Yes, it is indeed a natural checkpoint and a natural strategic location.
From the perspective of road traffic, it leads to five directions, and it is a very important traffic artery.
Topographically, there are five mountains standing around it, and in the middle of the mountains is a flat land in the shape of a five-cornered plum blossom, the five corners of which connect five roads.
Huang Ling looked at the terrain below and began to think about how to ambush and how to deal with the enemy so that he could better inflict heavy damage on Haiyang Bang's team.
The three roads leading to the south had to be left behind to allow the Hai Duong Bang team to enter here.
The road to the west had to be cut off or heavily defended to prevent the Hai Duong troops from being defeated and fleeing to the west.
On the road to the north, a team with strong blocking ability should be arranged, which is the key place for the decisive battle against Hai Duong Bang's team.
The five surrounding mountains are the ambush places for the team, and although these mountains are not large, they are all relatively steep, and it is not easy to climb them, but charging down from above can help a lot.
The three roads leading to the south were to be left at first, but they were to be blocked when the battle began, and if the three roads were not completely blocked, at most one road would be left for the defeated army to escape.
According to this terrain, the team needs to be divided into seven parts, each of which is responsible for a place.
Of course, it is best to determine the path of the Hai Duong Bang team in advance, if the Hai Duong Bang team is coming from one road, then the team can be divided into nine parts, and ambush on all five mountains and four roads, so that the enemy can be better ambushed.
Thinking of this, Huang Ling said: "This place is indeed a strategic place, so let's choose this place for our ambush." There are a total of five roads and five mountains here, according to this terrain, you can see how to arrange an ambush to be able to deal a heavy blow to Haiyangbang's team? ”
