[Chapter 33: The Flying Dragon's Claw]

"Spy on me!" Ji Zhu sent three spy teams.

After a long time, all three teams came back unscathed, and all said that there were no ambushes.

The army moved forward, but after a few hundred meters, when Ji Zhu saw the newly engraved words on the swarthy stone, he only felt his heart twitch for a while: "Explore again!"

This exploration turned dawn into early morning, although the three spy teams once again said that there was no ambush, Ji Ji still hesitated, and simply ordered the army to eat on the spot.

Ji Zhu's idea is: "If there is really an ambush, and the spies ignore your existence, I will starve you first." ”

But Lu Puxin and Lu Shaoqiu, who got the news, were both overjoyed: "This young master Feng is really like a god, and a word can make Ji Ji stand still in the valley road, and buy us a lot of time." ”

Yes, there were no ambush soldiers in the first valley of the gourd valley at all, which is why the second scout couldn't find the ambush soldiers.

Just after all the soldiers of the Longyuan army had replenished dry food and water and had eaten to their heart's content, Ji Zhu arranged a spies to investigate again, and after confirming that there were no ambushes, he also cautiously arranged a vanguard of 1,000 people to go forward first, and he himself took the remaining 9,000 men and horses to follow behind.

But just as the vanguard of the Guling Army entered the first and larger valley of the Hulu Valley, the sound of killing suddenly sounded on their sides and behind them.

The rolling wood roared down with the rocks, countless arrows fell like showers, and many of the Ji family's private soldiers were still loosening their belts, so they were naturally caught off guard.

The mountain roads in Mengshan are very narrow, and the place where seven people can walk in parallel is considered a very spacious place, and a force of nearly 10,000 people is lined up into a long snake team of one or two kilometers, which is completely incomprehensible.

"What's the situation?" Ji Zhu only heard the shouts of killing, and he didn't know how many people were involved in the battle.

The one who can answer Ji Zhu is only unclear, and after a while, someone ran over: "Oh no, we have been ambushed, the other side has at least a few thousand people, the rear army has suffered heavy losses, the Chinese army is already helping, but it can't grab the hillside!"

"What's going on? Haven't you already explored the ridges on both sides, and there are no ambushes?" Ji Ji was furious, but all he could do was order the troops to support quickly.

In fact, at this time, if Ji Zhu ordered the troops to march at full speed and enter the valley to rest, then the loss would probably only be a thousand people. But when he thought of the valley in front of him, the spies said that there were no ambushes three times, so he didn't dare to rush forward at all, so he simply planned to solve the ambush behind him first.

At this time, the two thousand men and horses who were ambushed on both sides of the mountain road into the valley had actually just rushed over, and they were led by Lu Puxin and Lu Shaoqiu respectively. It was from other, more detouring mountain roads, bypassing the valley and climbing the hillside, with the aim of setting up an ambush on the valley road temporarily, striking at the waist and tail of its troops, and taking them by real surprise.

This is actually the best place to set up an ambush, but because the Longyuan army is in a hurry to march, and spies will inevitably be arranged on both sides of the valley road, it is not realistic to ambush in advance.

Therefore, it is necessary to fight a time difference, so that when the Longyuan army scouts investigate, there is no ambush, but the spies can retreat and then set up an ambush again, so that the difficulty of moving ambushes is undoubtedly very great, after all, the enemy will never obediently wait for you to set up an ambush. In dangerous places, they usually pass by in a hurry.
