Chapter 412: Monument Valley Ambush

After Gao Lu was suddenly detoured by Ma Tan, Chen Tai quickly reacted after quickly seizing and cutting off the Wei army's supply lines.

First of all, a general was assigned to march into the high continent with 3,000 men with great fanfare and momentum. This creates a situation in which he will do his best to counterattack the Continent.

Subsequently, Chen Tai assigned Wei troops from all over the country, except for the defenders of Xiao Pass, the rest of the Wei troops began to quietly organize their outfits. Because of the cover of Yongdao, it provided convenience for the assembly and transfer of the large forces of the Wei army.

In addition, Chen Tai's own ability is not weak, and he has taken many details into account. Even when the army withdrew from the barracks, the old, weak, sick and disabled who remained behind had to set fire to all the stoves.

From the smoke to the patrol, to the fire in the middle of the night, everything was the same.

Because of this, all the generals of the Han army, including Liu Yin, did not notice Chen Tai's movements. In this way, the 20,000 Wei troops quietly completed the assembly east of the Yan River.

When the general was about to take 3,000 people to the city of Gaolu, Chen Tai picked a night and evacuated with the main force of the Wei army. 20,000 soldiers and horses retreated from Chiyang, lightly armed along the path, and quickly retreated in the direction of Fengyi County.

For the Weibei battlefield, Sima Yi assigned Chen Tai the task of resisting layer by layer at the beginning. Through the layers of defense in Beidi County, Fengyi County and even the front line of Qinguan, a large number of troops were contained in the Shu army.

As long as the Shu army divided its troops to occupy Weibei and Chen Tai delayed its progress, Sima Yi's pressure on Weinan would be much less. When the war dragged on for a long time, the logistics of the Shu army were about to be unable to keep up, and Zhuge Liang and Ma Tan themselves should have withdrawn.

Therefore, after Chen Tai occupied Gaolu in Ma Tan and cut off his retreat, the whole army withdrew without saying a word, and the entire Beidi County was directly ceded.

In addition to the fact that he is really afraid of Ma Tan's strength, there is also the fact that Chen Tai has completely lost it. Even if Beidi County and even Fengyi County were lost, as long as Tongguan and Pubanjin were still in the hands of the Wei army, the Shu army would not be able to completely block Sima Yi in Guanzhong.

Chen Tai's time card was just right, and when his subordinates were about to take 3,000 people to Gaolu to die, he took the main force along the path all the way to the east. In order not to be noticed by the Shu army, Chen Tai also specially found the nearest and least easy to find the mountain road to march.

All the way to the northern foothills, the Wei army quickly retreated in the direction of Linjin. Along the way, Chen Tai was still frightened, for fear that Ma Jian would see through his measures and ambush him in advance.

But along the way, Chen Tai's vigilance all failed.

The Wei army successfully passed through one valley path after another suitable for ambush, but none of them were ambushed. In many places, Chen Tai felt that as long as there was an ambush, he might even wipe them out, so he sent a large number of scouts to investigate in advance, but in the end he found that there were no ambushes at all.

Because of this, as he got closer and closer to Feng Yijun, Chen Tai's string became more and more relaxed. Judging from the current situation, Ma Jian didn't seem to see through his plan.

"It seems that Ma Jian is so treacherous, and there is a day when he misses." Chen Tai began to breathe a sigh of relief, and even if he ran away in embarrassment, he didn't forget to taunt Ma Yan.

After all, you really can't beat it on the battlefield, and you can't scold it if you really encounter Ma Jian head-on. The only thing Chen Tai can have some psychological comfort is to harden his mouth after successfully deceiving Ma Jian once.

In this way, the Wei army marched all the way from Chiyang to the northern foothills, and arrived near Pinyang after a rapid march of more than ten days.

At this time, Gao Lu and Shenhe had been left far behind, and it was basically impossible for the Han army to catch up. After Pinyang, the Wei army arrived at the second line of defense, Linjin.

This place is backed by the Baier Qin Pass and Pubanjin, and is the gateway to the eastern line of the Kansai region. Moreover, the Linjin line is not wide, and there is no room for guerrilla detours.

Chen Tai believes that as long as he returns to Linjin and still defends the danger, Ma Jian can only stop there.

In this way, the 20,000 Wei troops arrived at their last stop, the Valley of Monuments!

Chen Tai walked on Beishan Road in Beidi County, and the road was difficult to walk. Beigu is the last stop, and after going out, it is a plain with a flat river.

Although there was also the possibility of an ambush here, it was hundreds of miles away from the high continent, so Chen Tai was not prepared.

The Wei army basically entered the Beigu Valley unsuspectingly, and the whole army seemed to be a little slack. All the soldiers wanted to hurry over and arrive in Linjin to have a good rest.

Chen Tai personally led the front army into the Monument Valley, but Chen Tai suddenly felt strange when he passed.

It seems that something is wrong, but I can't feel that something is wrong.

It wasn't until Chen Tai was halfway through that he heard a pro-soldier subconsciously mutter,

"It's been a few months, and there are no more birds and beasts here?"

Just such a sentence suddenly made Chen Tai's eyes glare.

He finally remembered that something was wrong, and since he entered the Tablet Valley, he hadn't heard the sound of birds and beasts at all! It's October, but it's completely unreasonable to be so quiet!

"Something is wrong! There is an ambush! Chen Tai quickly reined in the horses and yelled with a stern expression,

"All the troops on alert!"

Chen Tai's shout was quickly conveyed through the flag, and the Wei army, which had been slack, quickly panicked.

But before the Wei army could react, suddenly a horn sounded from the jungle on both sides!

"Shoot the arrow!!"

As if in an instant, the mountains and forests on both sides of the Monument Valley seemed to come to life, and suddenly countless shouts sounded. Countless arrows and crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from the forest, flying down overwhelmingly!

The Wei army was already defenseless, and the road to Beigu was extremely narrow, so the whole army was in chaos under the blow of arrow rain for a while. Many soldiers didn't have time to hide, and they were shot into a sieve by the endless arrows of the Han army.

The main thing is that not only arrows rained down, but the Han army also threw a large number of rolling stones from a height. Many shield-wielding Wei pawns were unable to dodge and were stoned to death on the road.

It's no wonder that Chen Tai is not vigilant, after all, he really didn't expect Ma Tan to run so far to ambush him. It's hundreds of miles from the High Continent, and it's not the best place to ambush, so it's fair to say that it's the least likely place to have an ambush.

But Ma Tan taught Chen Tai another lesson, and of course it may be the last one.

Chen Tai, under the personal guard, struggled to break through among the arrows like flying locusts. But as the guards continued to fall from arrows, there were fewer and fewer people protecting Chen Tai.

Finally, just as he was about to escape, an arrow came through the gap and hit Chen Tai's knee!

"The general has been shot!"

"Protect the General! The general is wounded! ”

"We're going to be finished......"

In the end, Chen Tai was desperately rescued by the guards, and he rushed to Linjin overnight regardless of his injuries. Except for Chen Tai, most of the rest of the Wei army were killed and wounded in the Beigu ambush, and the whole army collapsed!
