The woodland in winter, fortunately, although it is a little colder, but as long as you wear it thick enough, it can also be a little warm.

And without mosquito harassment, ambush warfare can be carried out.

Fortunately, it wasn't summer, otherwise mosquito bites alone would have been enough to make these soldiers drink a pot.

After waiting in this woodland for two days, he didn't see any trace of Sun Ce, and Yuan Yao thought that Sun Ce would not come.

They are all ready to collect their troops and go to rendezvous with Qiaorui.

But at this time, I heard the spies below reporting it.

A large number of men and horses appeared ten miles west of the forest, and it was very likely that they were Sun Ce's soldiers and horses.

Although it has not yet been found out who these people belong to, Yuan Yao can also think with his feet that at this time, there is no one else who can walk from here except Sun Ce.

"It's coming, the Lord is finally here, I've been waiting for two days."

After Yuan Yao heard the news, he immediately came to his senses, so that his slackness in the past two days was swept away.

The centaurs who remained here immediately began to act.

Fortunately, there were spies who inquired about the news in advance and passed the news over from time to time, which also made Yuan Yao understand how far Sun Ce's soldiers and horses were from them.

There are dense jungles in the forest, and every one or two meters apart, there are trees, these trees are decades old, very large and thick, although there is still some reluctance for one person to hide behind.

But there are enough trees, and most of the mountains and forests are coniferous forests, and even in winter, there are dense leaves, so it is easy to hide the traces of the soldiers.

After waiting for about half an hour, several figures appeared on the path in the distance.

Although Sun Ce's own men and horses are the vanguard army, in order to prevent accidents, he will still send some men and horses as scouts to explore the way in front.

So as not to have some unknown circumstances.

The scouts dispersed and swept the nearby roads, both to see if there were people nearby and to disperse the beasts.

Create a relatively good condition for the subsequent army to pass.

However, Yuan Yao already had experience in marching and fighting, and he was also experienced with these spies, and he had already ordered his men not to get too close to the sides of the road, so as not to startle the snakes.

It is only necessary to keep a relatively long distance, and it is enough to observe the people passing on this road to act as an ambush.

After deceiving a round of spies in this way, Sun Ce's headquarters army gradually waited here.

Two thousand people, walking briskly along the trail with messy steps.

The road is not very wide, and it can only pass three or four people at a time, and the team of two thousand people is very long.

Yuan Yao, who was standing on the high ground, glanced at the path below from a distance, and after determining that Sun Ce and the horses had entered his ambush range, he glanced at Tai Shi Ci and Tai Shi Ci beside him.

Tai Shi Ci immediately understood.

"Do it!"

The commanding standard-bearer immediately waved the signal command flag in his hand.

As soon as the red attack order flag was raised, the ambushed soldiers who were lying in ambush around took out their arrows.

"Put!"

As the commanding standard-bearer waved the commanding flag in his hand to the ground, a dense number of arrows suddenly poured out like heavy rain.

Sun Ce's soldiers and horses, still walking on the road, had fallen into Yuan Yao's ambush without realizing it, just waiting for those arrows to shoot out from the forests on both sides and hit some of the soldiers at the front head-on.

These soldiers suddenly realized that they were terrified.

"Not good, there is an ambush!"

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

"Woooooo

After the soldiers in front of them were hit by the arrows, some of them immediately panicked, and the other part quickly reacted and directly sounded the horn of the enemy's attack.

Sun Ce, who was in the middle section, heard the screams coming from in front of him, and at the same time heard the whining horn, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and the whole person became nervous.

"Enemy attack?"

"It's not good, it's Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses!"

As soon as he stood firm, Sun Ce looked at it with his eyes, and saw some figures faintly coming from the forest, and the banner held on it had a big Yuan character written on it.

Although Yuan Yao's banner is also written Yuan, it is different from Yuan Shu's, his banner is more distinct, with a red cloth as the base, and a black Yuan character embroidered on it.

It is extremely bright and conspicuous, and people can recognize the ownership of this flag at a glance.

Sun Ce, who had already had several confrontations with Yuan Yao, naturally recognized this banner at a glance, it was Yuan Yao's men.

When he saw these flags, Sun Ce's face became even more ugly.

What's more, now that he only has a mere 2,000 men and horses around him, he has encountered an ambush, and there is no chance of victory at all.

Rao is Sun Ce, who is often impulsive, and he likes to rush and kill on the battlefield, and he also understands that at this time, it is undoubtedly impossible to rush to fight Yuan Yao hard.

"Retreat!"

Sun Ce shouted, and then ordered his men and horses to begin to retreat to the rear.

Seeing that Sun Ce's army was in a state of turmoil, Yuan Yao did not continue to hide his figure, and a fierce shouting of killing came from both sides, and then the soldiers and horses with spears rushed out of the forest.

Sun Ce was even more surprised when he saw the number, the people who were ambushed here, to say the least, were three thousand, he did not have the slightest advantage, and there was no possibility of a battle at all.

"Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, the two of you will lead five hundred elite soldiers to cover our retreat!"

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were also the talents that Sun Ce subdued when he followed Yuan Shu to pacify Jiangdong two years ago, and they were also one of the more powerful generals under Sun Ce.

Now under Sun Ce's account, he serves as the Sima of other departments, each commanding hundreds of soldiers, and originally there were five or six hundred soldiers under the command of the two, but after experiencing several battles in Danyang County, the elite soldiers under their command were seriously damaged.

Now there were less than three hundred people left, and the two of them were barely able to make up five hundred.

It is also because the two of them are relatively strong and are more important under Sun Ce's account, so this time the task of the queen of the palace was handed over to these two people.

Jiang Qin hesitated slightly, but Zhou Tai agreed.

"Don't worry, the general will definitely stop the enemy, and please retreat quickly!"

Anyway, Zhou Tai couldn't care so much, so he directly took the weapon and began to command the men and horses behind him to rush to the front of the team.

Seeing this, Jiang Qin wanted to stop talking, so he had no choice but to give up his hand, clench his fists and leave, and follow Zhou Tai, commanding his men and horses to prepare to intercept Yuan Yao's army.

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's serious expressions, showing a slight apology, he also understood that such a break was only afraid of more evil and less auspicious, but where there were immortals in the war, this was the consciousness that they should have long been in the army.

Without so much time to be sentimental, Sun Ce immediately began to gather his manpower, so that his men and horses could calm down from the panic of the ambush.
