"You're right." Xiao Bing agreed from the side.
It's just that this Gu Shuai is too strong in self-action, and he won't tell others his plans. His desire to make meritorious deeds on his own is very obvious.
Regardless of whether his plan can succeed, if it fails, the entire elite army will suffer.
How can we fight together without even telling him the plan?
You must be fully prepared for a war, and being passive is a taboo.
Thinking of this, Xu Cheng was ready to change his strategy.
They have always been winning battles before, so naturally they cannot lose at this critical moment.
"The mission entrusted by the prince will be completed to the death. The elite soldiers will listen to me and take advantage of this night to ambush. The enemy will definitely not be able to find us."
"yes."
Xu Cheng arranged for elite soldiers to start separate operations.
According to previous training regulations, they hid in several corners.
At this time, the enemy came here with a thousand cavalry.
The general raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please stop."
The soldiers behind quickly tightened the horse's rope before stopping in place.
"There must be something fishy about the letter of challenge that was sent. I figured it out on the way, so we can't advance rashly. Unless we wait for Dafeng's troops to come out on their own, we won't rush in."
The soldier on the side nodded, "The general is right, we won't go in."
The general began to observe the surroundings. It was very quiet here. The quieter the place, the more dangerous it is.
At this time, the soldiers hiding in two places became anxious.
"Gu Shuai, why don't the enemy troops move forward? How can we attack if they don't move forward?"
"Yes, Gu Shuai, our ambush would have been in vain."
Gu Shuai cursed, "When did they become so smart?"
"If they don't enter the ambush, we will take the initiative to attack."
"Yes, Gu Shuai."
After he decided to take the initiative to attack, he quickly took action.
"kill!"
Obviously, Gu Shuai couldn't wait any longer. He led his troops forward and rushed down the hillside towards the enemy.
The enemy army was also prepared. The general smiled slightly and said, "As expected, they are hiding nearby. Do you think we are stupid? We know that they will take the initiative to attack if they can't wait any longer. Now is the time for us to show our strength and attack."
"yes."
The cavalrymen began shooting arrows at them.
Just when Gu Shuai's soldiers rushed forward, they were already shot to death by them.
The news reached Xu Cheng.
"The deputy general is in trouble."
After Xiao Bing explained clearly, he stood angrily, "It's really stupid. I told him that this method won't work. He also said that he had some big moves to show. This is great. The enemy didn't even enter the ambush circle. His side I can’t hold my breath anymore.”
"If they suffer heavy losses, it will be difficult for our two hundred soldiers to deal with them, but it doesn't matter. The prince once taught us the tactics of one against a hundred, so that the other party can't tell how many of us there are. Let's start taking action."
Xu Cheng could only rely on himself now. He led his elite soldiers to continue to ambush nearby.
Gu Shuai was hit by a long arrow. He began to vomit blood and pressed a long knife to the ground to support his body.
"Kill, kill..."
He felt that even if he were alive, he would have no shame to see King Yi Xing.
King Yi Xing trusted him so much and entrusted him with such an important task. As a result, he failed miserably and felt regretful.
The enemy general snorted coldly, "Gu Shuai didn't expect that he would end up like this."
He fell to the ground, then collapsed heavily.
Looking at the results in front of him, the enemy was very satisfied and he laughed.
"Will the general continue the attack?"
"Of course, don't they only have this few troops? If there are still people inside, there will be people to support them, so we just need to move forward boldly. Even if they still have soldiers, they probably don't have many left. The opponent's camp is in front of them. Let's take them Come down and occupy.”
It is said that Dafeng has a lot of military silver and particularly rich supplies, all of which were approved by His Majesty himself. When you think about it, it is a fertile land.
"I'll clean up the battlefield later. Let's rush in and take a look."
"yes."
The enemy general led his troops to continue the attack.
Xu Cheng was already ready at this time, holding a bow and arrow in their direction.
"When the enemy enters, shoot immediately."
The enemy had already relaxed their vigilance, Xu Cheng gave the order, arrows rained down, and the enemy troops were hit by arrows one after another.
Because they are all elite soldiers, they can almost always hit the mark.
There was a mess underneath, and the general's expression changed drastically.
"How can it be."
"We have defeated so many soldiers, why are there still Da Feng soldiers?"
He couldn't tell how many Dafeng soldiers there were now. If there were still, why not go to reinforce them.
"We've fallen into a trap."
These long arrows came from various places, and they couldn't be sure at all. The elite soldiers were well hidden in the night.
Now they cannot retreat. If they retreat, they will suffer a lot of losses. If they attack, they will not be able to cope with the ambush of elite soldiers.
"retreat."
In an emergency, they still chose to retreat, not even wanting to obtain it.
When they returned, elite soldiers ambushing nearby blocked their retreat.
The enemy army suffered a disastrous defeat.
…
Yudai Mountain.
Li Yang enjoys the joy of victory here.
"Report to the prince, Tan Qingshan has won."
This battle is the most critical, "Okay, I will reward them well later."
Yudai Mountain is very rich and can give out any kind of rewards.
"But……"
Li Yang frowned, wondering if there were other changes.
"But what? Tell me quickly..."
"All the soldiers led by Gu Shuai were defeated miserably. The soldiers who won this battle were the elite soldiers led by Xu Cheng himself." Xiao Bing replied seriously, and also told Li Yang the details of the battle.
"What?"
It would be great to win, but there would also be a lot of losses. Although Gu Shuai did not completely trust him, he also knew that he was no longer a member of the enemy army, so Gu Shuai knew the enemy army better.
It's just that Gu Shuai died, and the soldiers he led no longer exist.
After such a disastrous defeat, Li Yang clenched his fists.
"Why is Gu Shuai so stupid and insists on ambush? If it wasn't for the ambush, he wouldn't have lost so miserably."
This was obviously a wrong plan. When Gu Shuai left, he clearly told him to just wait where he was. At least he would be divided into two teams and attack from both sides. Unexpectedly, he could not calm down and acted on his own. claim.
Xiao Bing advised: "My lord, don't be angry. Gu Shuai has violated your order. Even if he is still alive, he has to accept your punishment. In short, it's good that we win."
"Having said that, it's living life."
He originally wanted to defeat the enemy with a small number of troops, but ended up losing half of his troops to defeat the enemy. Naturally, Li Yang would not feel good.
"The prince is a kind-hearted man who understands the hardships of soldiers and cherishes their lives."
