Chapter 33: Sitting on the Diaoyutai Corner
Ye Hong sat down and didn't drink a few sips of water, and was dragged into a forest.
The area around Luoyang Tiger Prison is a plain, and it is difficult to ambush it by means of terrain, but this era is not as developed as in the previous era, but has a lot of forests, especially on both sides of the official road, except for the village market, there are only patches of forests.
Of course, not all woods are suitable for ambushes, but the location of Li Xiaogong's group of 8,000 people is not very well concealed, but it is not bad.
If it weren't for the special vigilance, or if there were no spies who had already detected the latest situation, it would really not be easy to find the ambush circle of the 8,000 people.
According to Li Xiaogong's design, if these people really pounce like fools, then rush out from both sides of the official road, leave a few if they can, and let them go if they can't stay, without loss.
If you want to lure the snake out of the hole, no way!
If the other party runs away vigilantly, it means that the Xia Jun scouts have also detected their position, then it will be difficult to make any small moves next, and it is estimated that it will be a tragic positional battle.
Ye Hong was dragged into the woods by his companions, but then he was confused, what should he do after entering the woods, hiding behind the trees to test the eyes of those Youzhou people?
The other recruits were also confused for a while, and they didn't know until a few experienced old guys gave them guidance...... Hide in a pile of fallen leaves.
It was summer, and there weren't many new fallen leaves, but no one had ever cleaned them, and the long-term accumulation of leaves made the leaves pile up to his calves.
These fallen leaves are about three or five feet in size, and it is enough to hide ordinary people who are not very weird.
And the horses ridden by Li Xiaogong's generals were also tied to a long distance, even if they were sharpshooters who crossed Yang in a hundred steps, it was impossible to see a few BMW horses so far away.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, it was time for the sun to set.
Li Xiaogong frowned, according to the spy, that group of Youzhou soldiers was not far away from them, if they marched at full speed, it would be an hour at most, or even shorter.
Even if it's just at a normal speed, it shouldn't be so slow......
Could it be that it was really withdrawn?
Rather than a frontal fight that may cost more casualties, Li Xiaogong is more willing to exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest benefit.
Just when Li Xiaogong sighed slightly in his heart, there was a sparse sound on the official road, which seemed to be the sound of one or two horses passing on the official road.
At this moment, it is wartime, almost all the horses have been transferred by the government, and the only people who can ride horses here at this moment, except for the spies under Su Lie, are only the disciples of the hundred sects.
This is a war zone, Li Xiaogong doesn't believe that this is a disciple of a hundred schools, so there is only one possibility, Su Liejun's spies are here!
And what are these spies doing here, Li Xiaogong doesn't want to know: to explore the way for the army.
There are tanma passing by here, which means that they don't know that the Tang army has ambushed here, which means that as long as these tanma confirm that there is no problem here, the army will pass by!
And the army can never be just eight or nine hundred people!
Thinking of this, Li Xiaogong didn't want to ambush these eight or nine hundred people, he was more interested in the army behind these eight or nine hundred people!
Whether this group of troops was Su Lie's five thousand elites or other armies under Dou Jiande, he was interested!
The only difference between the two is that after cleaning up, the next thing to do is different.
But that's all for later, and now he doesn't want to lose the watermelon for sesame!
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the thought to strike in his mind when a noise reached the ears of the thousands of people who were lying in ambush in the woods.
It's just that the people who came were not a large army, but a small army as mentioned by the previous spies, if you are not mistaken, these eight or nine hundred people are Dou Jiande's biggest reliance - Youzhou soldiers!
Except for the Youzhou soldiers, there is really no army that can be so noisy when marching.
These Youzhou elites were all outlaws before they joined the army, and they were extremely fierce when they fought, but in terms of discipline, they were not necessarily as good as the militia that was temporarily conscripted.
So, as the sound became more and more noisy, the eight thousand sergeants also clenched the weapons in their hands, and just waited for Li Xiaogong to give an order, and gave them a fatal blow!
Trample...... Trample...... Trample!
The footsteps became louder and louder, but after a while, thousands of soldiers in the woods had already seen the figure of Youzhou soldiers.
These Youzhou soldiers walked with the steps of not recognizing their six relatives, whistling from time to time, making people look like soldiers at a glance, but like hundreds of bandits patrolling the forest.
Ye Hong clenched the Glaive Knife that he had just taken out of his bag, and was ready to rush forward to kill, but Li Xiaogong didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he didn't have the idea of ordering a rush to kill.
Li Xiaogong's delay in giving the order made Ye Hong's heart more and more anxious, if he didn't rush forward to kill, he would really miss the best opportunity!
Not only Ye Hong, almost all the soldiers were anxious in their hearts, but Li Xiaogong was as if there was nothing in front of him, and he didn't say a word!
"Lord Wang, Lord ......"
Li Xiaogong's calmness made Li He couldn't help it, so he leaned over to Li Xiaogong's side and said very anxiously:
"Lord Wang, they are all going to swagger over, why don't you give an order......"
But before his words ended, Li Xiaogong chuckled lightly and said, "I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"
"I ......" Li He was suddenly choked, speechless, and only one sentence came to his mind: The emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!
Li He blushed and didn't know what to say, but Li Xiaogong was already "Didn't you think about catching a big fish?"
Li He was stunned for a moment, feeling that the question Li Xiaogong was thinking about was beyond his ability to think: "Catch a big fish?"
"Do you think that those spies on horseback just now are exploring the way for this mere eight or nine hundred people?"
"Is it possible?"
"Uh......"
Without waiting for Li He to answer again, Li Xiaogong said 'ruthlessly': "Okay, I know your brain is not very good, go back to the place you just had, don't squeeze with me, you won't be able to show it later!"
This Li He is his Li Xiaogong's close guard, originally just the son of the Li family, but he awakened the spiritual root when he was a child, and was appreciated by Li Xiaogong, so he came to his current position step by step.
It's just that this guy is good at everything, but his brain is not very good, and under normal circumstances, Li Xiaogong will not discuss this kind of problem with him to anger himself.
The eight thousand sergeants watched the eight or nine hundred people walk out unharmed in their bags, and suddenly there was a sense of deflatment that was breeding in the soldiers' finger China.
Suddenly, the soldiers began to talk a lot, and even the five thousand well-disciplined elites were constantly whispering in violation of military discipline.
It's just that no matter how the sergeants whispered, Li Xiaogong still looked like he was not in a hurry and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.
In the end, Li He, who really couldn't stand it, told the soldiers to shut up, and the noisy woods gradually returned to a quiet state.
However, the woods were a little too quiet at this time, and there was not even a sparse bird call. If some experienced and vigilant general really led his troops to pass by here, it would be hard not to feel that this place was strange!
