"Report !!"

"General, according to the report of the reconnaissance horse, the enemy army has reached the territory of Hexi County.

According to its marching route, it will reach the junction of Hexi County and Huangshan Mansion in one day! ”

In the big tent, Li Dingguo listened to the report of the horse probe, and immediately turned his head to look at the marching map on the wall, and the baton in his hand was pointed at Hexi County, where the Zhao Jiajun is now located, and the route still passed through the information all the way to Huangshan Mansion.

Suddenly, the baton paused violently on the way, Li Dingguo touched his chin and asked, "I remember that this is a first-line terrain, right?" ”

Li Yungong, the commander of the first battalion beside him, immediately replied:

"Exactly, the locals call it Rift Valley Cliff here, if you want to come to Huangshan Mansion from Hexi County, this is the easiest place to pass, if you don't go here, the rest of the place is undulating hilly area, it is difficult for the army to travel, and the baggage in the camp will be extremely difficult to luck.

It only takes half a day to walk this rift cliff, but it takes at least three days to take other routes. ”

"It's a great place for an ambush!"

Li Dingguo touched his chin and said.

Li Yungong immediately frowned and disagreed: "General, although this place is easy to ambush, as long as the other party's general is not a fool, he will inevitably pay more attention here, is it a little difficult to ambush here?" ”

Li Dingguo smiled slightly: "The enemy generals must think the same way as you, and the generals will do the opposite."

In this way, generally speaking, the best ambush here is to intercept the other side at the beginning of the interruption.

We don't, when the time comes, draw 4,000 foot soldiers for me and put them at the exit of the Rift Cliff to block them, and the rest of the cavalry will wait behind the foot soldiers, and when the foot soldiers finish releasing the arrows, they will rush directly in.

In addition, the remaining 3,000 foot soldiers made an early detour behind the Zhao family's army, and after they passed the middle section, they blocked the road for me from behind, so as not to let the rest of their soldiers run away!

Flanked from both sides, they were about to be annihilated in this rift cliff! ”

Li Yungong nodded after hearing this, with the advantage of the terrain, his side can indeed occupy a great advantage by doing so.

But he still has a question.

"General, don't our troops at Taniguchi need to be ambushed?"

Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "No need, I just have to tell them plainly, we are waiting for them in front, so that they think that we plan to fight them head-on!" ”

"Why is that?" Li Yungong was puzzled, but Li Dingguo said with a smile:

"Have you forgotten that we sent out three thousand foot soldiers to bypass the cliff?

As a qualified general, when a large army walks on this kind of terrain, an elite team will definitely be sent above the cliff to investigate the situation ahead.

Ben will lead his troops to directly plug the gap in front, and the other party will inevitably relax his vigilance.

In this way, our detour hands can have the opportunity to go around behind the other party unconsciously and cut off the opponent's retreat. ”

Now Li Yungong understood, and hurriedly nodded yes.

"The Admiral understands!"

Immediately, Li Dingguo directly began to order: "Give you half a day to prepare, after noon today, the whole army will march to the rift valley mouth, and we will wait at the valley mouth for the other party to come and have a good fight with them."

Li Yungong! ”

Li Dingguo called.

"The last general!"

"Ben will give you 3,000 foot soldiers, take a detour a day in advance and ambush at the top of the rift mouth, and after this formation attracts most of the opponent's attention, your department will immediately go around behind the opponent to block the opponent's retreat, is there a problem?"

"No problem, the last general commands!"

Li Dingguo nodded, and then instructed: "Since the road ahead is blocked, the retreat after the defeat of the other party must be the only way for the other party to escape, so the task of your department is very heavy, and the other party will inevitably attack your department at all costs, and we can't be sure to what extent we can weaken the other party."

Therefore, no matter how many people there are on the other side, your troops must firmly block the opponent's retreat and win the arrival of our pursuers.

During this period, you don't have any support, you can only support independently, you have to be mentally prepared! ”

Li Yungong immediately gave a military salute and replied loudly:

"Please rest assured, even if our troops fight to the last man, they will be firmly blocked like a stone, and we will never let an enemy pass unless we die

If there is a violation, the last general will be willing to be dealt with by military law! ”

"Good!"

Li Dingguo replied with satisfaction, and then began to assign combat missions to others.

"Borhat, when the time comes, after the front army interrupts the opponent's morale, your department will lead all the cavalry to break the opponent's formation, is there a problem?"

"Nope! Shogun, don't worry! Borhad's mission is complete! ”

"Zhou Long, your ......"

……

After everything was settled, they all went down and got ready.

At the same time, Tian Cheng, the chief general of the Zhao Jiajun who had just left Hexi County, was also discussing with his lieutenant about the Rift Valley Cliff.

"General, the terrain here is extremely suitable for ambushes, the last general concludes that the other party will definitely ambush our army here, general, do you want to take a detour, don't take this road, it's too dangerous here."

Tian Cheng's lieutenant looked at the terrain of the rift cliff and did not need to hide the sorrow in his eyes, and tried his best to dissuade his own general and wanted to go to other safer places.

Who expected Tian Cheng to have a different opinion, just listen to him:

"Even you know it's an ambush, do you think the enemy won't guess it?

I guess there's a high probability that the other party won't set up an ambush here at all! ”

"But what if the other party really sets up an ambush here?" The adjutant general voiced his concerns.

Then Tian Cheng said with a smile: "Of course, it is impossible for the general to block this kind of thing, we can first send a small force to probe five miles forward on the rift cliff to investigate the situation ahead."

If nothing happens, the rear army will enter and advance. ”

"In this way, it is indeed a way, if there is a detour, not to mention the difficult road, even those hilly places are very likely to have been ambushed by the enemy."

The deputy general accepted Tian Cheng's explanation, and the two main generals reached a common opinion, and then the Zhao family army of 10,000 people went straight to the rift cliff.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and after a day and a night, Zhao Jiajun's side finally came to the mouth of the rift.

Standing at the entrance, looking at the towering cliffs around and the narrow passage in the middle, Tian Cheng couldn't help but sigh again that this was indeed a good place to ambush.

Out of caution, after sending a few teams up to the top of the cliff to investigate the situation ahead, Tian Cheng's side sent a forward army of about 1,000 people to take the lead in entering the side of the Rift Cliff.

The remaining 10,000 people of the Zhao family's army entered the passage of the Rift Cliff after the forward army had advanced for a distance of about five miles, and only after the exploration team confirmed that the front was safe.

The towering cliffs and narrow passages on both sides have brought great psychological pressure to the soldiers of the Zhao family.

When they first entered the passage, everyone was extremely vigilant.

But when the army reached the middle of the rift cliff and there was still no abnormality, the soldiers of the Zhao family army breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Tian Cheng also basically concluded that he seemed to have guessed the other party's thoughts, and the other party didn't think that he and the others would take this road at all, so he didn't set up an ambush here.

I couldn't help but feel glad in my heart for my foresight.

This wave of enemies is on the second layer, but I have already reached the third layer, and the advantage is mine!
