Chapter 858: Tiger Hunting Wolf Siege (I)
When night falls, the Chengguan crossing, the mountains and peaks, faintly gloomy......
The encirclement and suppression order was issued, and the main force of the vanguard pressed the territory on a large scale, approaching the mountain pass road, blocking it on all sides, trying to trap Lu Ling's troops in it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Lu Jing herself sat in the formation in person, dispatching all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang, confident that he would be able to capture the enemy general tonight.
The vanguard troops were divided into four routes, entered the mountains, and guarded the four intersections of the garrison.
The first road, from the east side of the entrance of the mountain road, Tang Zhan, Hu Yidi and other generals guarded, with the most elite troops, connecting the reinforcements of the city pass and the mountain road, in case Lu Ling tricked, emulating the previous counterattack of the surprise attack; the second and third roads, the north and south sides of the deep belly, he will lead the mobile soldiers to search for the whereabouts of Lu Ling's troops, to the south side by Xiao Tian Su Jiagu to guard the town, to check the situation, to the north side by Qin Yu Murong Ying infiltrated into the dark forest, secretly chasing the traces of the enemy; the last way, is the hinterland of the west road, by Lu Jing personally led a small number of elite soldiers to block the mountain pass, if Lu Ling encountered the elite soldiers of the main force of the Tang War in the east road, outnumbered, trying to flee west, Lu Jing blocked the intersection with a small number of strange soldiers, surprise, intending to capture the enemy general Lu Ling, in one fell swoop......
After the surprise attack in Luoyang, Lu Ling did not relax his surveillance of the Ming army for a moment, from the successful surprise attack, to the withdrawal of his own troops into the mountains, and then to the clearing of the battlefield in front of Luoyang City...... Lu Ling secretly sent eyeliner to grasp all the situation in his heart, and thought of a countermeasure early, confronting 20,000 male troops with 2,000 remnants, and stationed in the secret passage in the mountains, waiting for the Ming army to come......
"General Lu, they have already come......" In the dark passage of the jungle, Lu Ling's main force was wandering in the deep mountains, and the spies in front sent information that in Luoyang, the Ming army troops had entered the mountain pass.
"It's exactly the same as I thought...... Lu Ling seemed to have a successful plan, and said with a secret smile, "They have been calculated by me several times, although they can't hold their breath, and they use the main army to press the mountain pass, and they want to put me on the spot...... Still, hum ......"
"General, what should we do now?" asked the soldier in a whisper.
"Act according to the original plan - when the enemy army falls into the trap, our army will immediately move ......" Lu Ling confidently and firmly recounted the strategy, then remembered the important thing again, and asked instead, "By the way, how are the two cronies sent by General He before doing well now?" Lu Ling remembered the two spy soldiers sent to monitor the Ming army's every move before, Xiao Jia and A Lin.
"The two of them are still monitoring ...... front," the cronies immediately comforted, "General Lu, don't worry, they are the most experienced scouts under General He, and they can observe the enemy's movements while ambushing and diverting ......."
"How did General Ben personally order the two of them before?" Lu Ling continued to ask.
"Everything is going according to plan," the cronie continued, "General, let the two of them keep track of the enemy troops, until they are scattered at various intersections, and after investigating the movements of all the troops, they will come back to report back to you......
Lu Ling calmed down and continued: "I hid in the mountains, and if they want to deal with me, they will inevitably adopt the trend of encircling and suppressing me by dividing the road...... Pass on my orders, the whole army will stand still, and when the enemy army falls into the trap, act according to the original plan, and obey my orders and commands......"
"Yes, General—" The cronies replied, turning and sneaking away.
"The only chance is to 'capture the thief and capture the king first'-" Lu Ling repeatedly calculated the plan in his heart, and muttered secretly, "Lu Jing, as the head of the army, as long as you are subdued, our army will have an opportunity to win......"
Doing everything possible, it is obvious that Lu Ling has only one goal - Lu Jing......
At the entrance of the mountain road, the dark bushes, the vanguard troops entered, and the division was in the formation......
"According to the previous plan of dividing the four roads, fool, you and Brother Hu are sitting at the east entrance, once Lu Ling is ambushed in the dark passage and wants to counterattack, he will be blocked with the most elite troops, and the enemy must not be allowed to escape from this road crossing-" Lu Jing drove the horse in the middle and explained the content of the battle strategy to Tang Zhan in detail.
"Don't worry, I'll leave the host here-" Tang Zhan nodded, and then said in a concerned tone, "It's you Jing'er, you have the least subordinates around you, once Lu Ling escapes from the west exit, me and Brother Xiao are not around, you must be extremely careful! Lu Ling, that guy, even if he is in a desperate situation, he will still have to fight for his life, even Brother Qin can't surrender, Jing'er, you must always be vigilant!"
"Don't worry, I have a ...... in my heart" Lu Jing was a little relaxed, and said with a firm smile, "I said it, if you want to catch Lu Ling tonight, you must be fully prepared, no matter what happens, I have my own way to deal with it......"
Lu Jing was still commanding here, and the troops on the north and south sides had already set off early-Xiao Tian and Su Jia led the troops to camp in Nanshan, while Qin Yu and Murong Ying were searching for the whereabouts of the enemy in Beilin, and everything went according to plan......
"Newspaper-" At this moment, a sudden report came from the front, and the pathfinder soldiers rushed back, as if there was urgent information.
"What's the situation?" Tang Zhan saw that the battle was urgent, and there was an outside change, so he couldn't help but ask nervously.
But Lu Jing was not in a hurry, as if she had guessed something in advance, and the corners of her mouth smiled slightly......
"Report to the general's army and division-" The soldier immediately reported, "When the enemy's main force is discovered, the large battalion is stationed at the top of the mountain!"
"What, stationed on the top of the mountain?" Tang Zhan said incredulously when he heard this, "The mountains and forests are already at the end of the road, and the remnants of the army are fleeing, and they actually stationed their troops on the top of the mountain where there is no way out...... Are you sure, it's really at the top of the mountain?" Tang Zhan asked, still unable to let go of his heart.
"There is absolutely no mistake!" the soldier said firmly, "My subordinates saw it, and the hijacked grain cart of our army was placed on the top of the mountain—"
"Then it won't be wrong, it must be Lu Ling's main force!" This time, it was Lu Jing who spoke first on the side, "Our army is surrounded and suppressed on all sides, and he has embarked on a dead end, it is a godsend - the herald army is approaching, this time the enemy must not be allowed to run away!"
"Wait, Jing'er-" Seeing Lu Jing's rare "not calm", Tang Zhan grabbed him and said, "We have fought with Lu Ling several times, and his method of using troops is not according to common sense, but he has calculated us several times, there must be fraud in this trip, isn't it still clear? Don't worry, isn't it too hasty to make a decision so early?"
Who knows, Lu Jing is unusual, making a look of eagerness for revenge, and said with a little excitement: "I said, I must catch Lu Ling tonight and peel off his skin! Now he has stationed the main force on the top of the mountain where there is nowhere to escape, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he misses it, it will be too late to expose the movements of our army and let him detect the evacuation——"
After speaking, Lu Jing "drove-" on the ground, ignored Tang Zhan's obstruction, and led the team to ride away first.
"Hey, Jing'er-" I was cautious just now, I don't know why Lu Jing "changed her face" so quickly, Tang Zhan didn't have time to wonder and wanted to stop it, but he couldn't catch up.
"Hmph, it's just right to come, I want to see if this Lu Ling is really as you said, so powerful......" Tang Zhan's side was already chaotic enough, and Hu Yidi on the side also raised a knife and said, "I have been in the army for so long, and I have never had the opportunity to capture the enemy's main general, let me Hu Yidi come forward with a knife tonight and arrest him...... Charge with me, troops!-"
"Drink-" The troops shouted in unison, apparently ready to charge the top of the mountain.
One after another, Tang Zhan, as the main general, failed to stop it -- after all, the grain cart was found on the top of the mountain, the enemy army was stationed undoubtedly, and the armies would charge into battle sooner or later, and the encirclement and suppression action would naturally be as fast as possible.
Suddenly, under the dark night, iron hooves surged, thousands of troops rushed up, marched to the middle mountain, and looked at the top - I did see the shadow of the hijacked grain truck on the top of the mountain, the camp was stationed in a disciplined manner, the faint lights were faintly beating, although I did not see the enemy's figure, but this was the position where Lu Ling's troops were stationed......
Although there are doubts, the time of attack is at hand. Tang Zhan sat in the army, so he had to agree with Lu Jing's decision, wave the main force, and attack the remnants of Mengyuan on the mountain. Moreover, the remnants of the army are stationed on the mountain, and there is no way to escape from all sides, unless Lu Ling has the ability to fly, Tang Zhan can't think of any way to escape the desperate situation......
Lu Jing led the team to the foot of the mountain first, but did not make a charge. Hu Yidi is different, he is eager to try, he has always wanted to have a capture performance in the army, this time the enemy is in a desperate situation, it is a golden opportunity. If he commands the whole army to go up, he will be at the forefront of the charge......
Lu Jing didn't give an order, but just glanced at Tang Zhan. Tang Zhan nodded his head, and then ordered the whole army: "The whole army has an order, the matrix charges, and take the mountain with one blow!"
"Drink-" All the armies under the mountain are in unison, the thousands of troops are unstoppable, and the iron shield and spear are mighty and the night is down, and they rush up like a tide, as if they are attacking in one fell swoop, flooding the enemy camp on the top of the mountain.
"Kill!-" Hu Yidi was the first to charge, holding a dragon-handled golden knife, roaring angrily, and stepping on the mangshi in three steps.
The soldiers in the rear immediately followed, the swords and swords were strictly and neatly advanced, and the crowd beat the drums under the mountains, and the moment the two armies clashed, the victory was decisive......
"General Lu, they are here......" At this time, Lu Ling led the troops to wait in the inexplicable stronghold, and the probe soldiers watched the military situation and reported quietly.
"Very good!" The enemy army is on the mountain, the whole army is ready, waiting for the order to be issued, and acting according to the plan...... Lu Ling's eyes were resolute, and he secretly admonished.
"Yes......" the soldier received the order and returned to his post......
Shouting to kill the heavens, echoing the valley, Hu Yidi led the team to rush to the top of the mountain first, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned-
The grain trucks that were robbed in front of Luoyang Pass were indeed neatly guarded here, and the camp tents were stationed and brightly lit. But...... However, the barracks were everywhere, but there was not a single shadow of Mengyuan soldiers, and an "empty camp" was placed here, lonely and cold, and the cold wind was howling......
"How...... How could this be......" Hu Yidi was simply stunned, holding a golden knife and full of blood, wanting to fight, approaching the enemy formation, but he didn't find half of the enemy soldiers.
The same is true of the soldiers who followed behind him, and they were very puzzled when they saw that there was not a single soldier in the enemy's camp position. However, a bad premonition suddenly came to everyone's hearts - the "empty camp" place, this is a plan to lure the army, Lu Ling used the soldiers to calculate and plan, there is no enemy in front of him, but he saw the car of robbed grain and grass, obviously this is the situation of arranging a trap......
"Strange, why hasn't there been any movement?" Tang Zhan watched Hu Yidi lead the team up the mountain just now, and the forward troops reached the top of the mountain, but they were instantly quiet, and he couldn't help muttering.
Lu Jing looked in the direction of the top of the mountain, her eyes were fixed - she seemed to understand something......
"Whoosh-" Suddenly, under the night sky, a flying fire meteor jumped by......
On the top of the mountain, Hu Yidi and other soldiers saw it in their eyes and recognized that this was a signal to use troops to act -- it was obvious that this was a signal from the enemy......
At this moment, Hu Yidi and the others knew that they had fallen into the trap of the enemy......
But it was too late......
"Run!-" Before Hu Yidi could see what was happening, he turned around and shouted, "The whole army retreats quickly, leave the top of the mountain!"
The military order was urgent, and the soldiers behind him didn't think much about it, and they didn't stop when they just went up the mountain, and everyone was ordered to turn around and jump down the hillside......
"Whoosh whoosh-" In an instant, on the other side of the hillside, countless rockets rushed up, flames streaked across the night sky, and they were rushing towards the middle of the campsite on the top of the mountain, whistling and rushing - I didn't think about it, it was the main force that Lu Ling really ambushed.
Hu Yidi didn't take a look at it head-on, and when the army jumped down, he also fell to the ground, wanting to jump off the cliff pass at the fastest speed of the landslide......
The rocket instantly ignited the camp on the top of the mountain, but the matter was not so simple...... "boom, boom, bang-" In an instant, on the top of the mountain, the explosion shattered, and the fire suddenly brightened - it was explosives, and Lu Ling wanted to use the "empty camp strategy" In fact, this was also Lu Ling's plan to lure the enemy, at the cost of the whole army's camp and grain and grass, to attract the main force of the Ming army to the mountain, and when the time came, the rocket raid ignited the explosives set up in the camp in advance, so as to inflict heavy damage on the enemy......
"Boom-boom-boom-" The explosives on the top of the mountain were like thunder rolling in the sky, and the power shook all over the mountain, and the entire mountain suddenly burst into flames, surrounded by thick smoke and flames. Almost in an instant, the top of Zhongshan Mountain, together with the camp, turned into a "hell on earth......
......The vanguard troops who charged up the hill were hit by the strong impact of gunpowder, and before they could run down the hill, they were scattered and fell by the strong gunpowder, killing and wounding one after another. Even Hu Yidi, who is strong in martial arts, was wounded on his shoulders, and he was hit by the strong impact of explosives, and was shaken down directly from the edge of the mountain top and rolled down the hillside......
"General Lu, it's a success!" On the other side of the mountain, Lu Ling's troops who were ambushing saw this scene and knew that the plan had been accomplished, and his soldiers then announced, "The general is really strategic, the enemy was really deceived into going up the mountain and fell into the ambush of our army-"
However, Lu Ling did not look proud, but still said calmly and calmly: "The first step of the plan is successful, and now order the whole army to withdraw from the mountain and implement the second step plan!"
"Yes—" The soldier replied, and ordered the troops to ambush the troops, cover the fire on the top of the mountain, and withdraw from the hill according to the queue......
One move was calculated by Lu Ling again, although the loss was not heavy, but the morale of the Ming army obviously fluctuated a lot. And Lu Ling's plan didn't seem to be over yet, and after retreating from Zhongshan, he kept moving towards the second step of the plan...... (To be continued.) )
