Northern Territory.
Wanqi passed by at great speed, changed direction, and headed south.
The spies found out that Baidi City sent two batches of military rations to support Tantai Zhen and the Mobei East Road army that was besieging King Zhongwu.
"Master Marquis, the two grain transport teams have separated. Which one should we fight?"
Luo Xiao asked on the galloping horse.
"What's true and false, let's adapt to the situation." Li Ziye responded.
In fact, what he was most worried about was that the Mobei Babu deliberately let them find out this news.
If he were Tantai Jingyue, he would rather lose some food and cavalry than wipe out all of them.
He didn't care about the reality of the two grain transport teams. What he cared about was whether there was an ambush nearby.
"Report!"
The army marched thirty miles forward when a spy came galloping over and reported, "Master Marquis, forty miles to the southwest, there are a large number of Mobei cavalry ambushing them. There is a natural canyon where many people can be hidden."
"really!"
Li Ziye reined in his horse and narrowed his eyes slightly. Sure enough, there was an ambush. The people from the Eight Divisions of Mobei were planning to attack the grain transport team.
Fortunately, their spies are relatively familiar with the surrounding terrain!
"Master Hou, what should I do?"
On the side, Luo Xiao asked in a serious voice, "Since there is an ambush, don't fight."
If they were to sneak attack the grain transporting team of the Eight Ministries in Mobei, they would be falling into Tantai Zhen's plan. Once they were delayed, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Luo Xiao, is your head hanging around your neck just for decoration?"
Li Ziye looked at the deputy general in front of him and couldn't hold back his venomous nature. He cursed, "If we can't fight the food transport team, can't we fight others?"
"Something else?"
When Luo Xiao heard this, he looked startled and looked puzzled.
Li Ziye was speechless and didn't want to pay attention to the idiot in front of him. He looked at the spy in front of him and said in a serious voice, "How wide are the exit and entrance of the canyon? Is it convenient for a large group of people to enter and exit?"
"The entrance is about ten feet, which is very wide. However, the exit is less than three feet, making it difficult for large groups of people to pass quickly." The spy answered truthfully.
"That's a really nice place."
Li Ziye had heard about it, and a cold look flashed in his eyes, he had been waiting for today.
There is always a gap in everything. He has been waiting for Tantai to make a real mistake, and today he finally made it happen.
It seems that King Guanshan's return of reinforcements has really put the Mobei Eight Tribes under pressure, and they are eager to remove his poisonous thorn that has penetrated the Mobei Eight Tribes' rear. The troops are in danger.
"Does the Marquis want it?"
On the side, Luo Xiao reacted and said in shock, "Going to fight the ambush of the Eight Divisions of Mobei?"
"It's not easy. I think your head is just a decoration!"
Li Ziye said something disdainfully, looked towards the southwest, and said coldly, "That canyon can hide people, but it can also become their cemetery. Luo Xiao, you lead two thousand people to block the exit. If you can’t handle a small matter, just take off your armor and go home to raise pigs!”
"Subordinates take orders!"
Luo Xiao clasped his fists and led the troops, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, my subordinates will guard the exit with all their strength and not even let a fly fly out!"
"very good."
Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly. The exit was so narrow that it would be difficult for a large group of people to pass through at once. Two thousand people should be enough. The most important thing is to fight at the front entrance.
After deciding on a plan, Li Ziye and Luo Xiao each led their men to the exit and entrance of the canyon.
The distance of forty miles is not too far, for the cavalry, it is within reach.
"Hush!"
When he was about to reach the entrance, Li Ziye reined in his horse, looked at the top of the canyon ahead, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and ordered, "Han Cheng, take some brothers with good skills and go up there to give them a surprise!"
"yes!"
Among the troops at the rear, a middle-aged man with unshaven beard walked out and respectfully took orders.
Soon, Han Cheng left with a team of elite troops and rushed to the top of the canyon.
at the same time.
In the distant canyon.
Tantai Zhen led 20,000 cavalry to hide among them, waiting for the signal from the grain transport team.
"General, will the commoner take the bait?" a guard asked with concern.
"It's hard to say, but there is a chance."
Tantai Zhen said in a serious voice, "The purpose of separating the grain transportation teams is to confuse the thoughts of the commoner. He should be thinking about which grain transportation team is real and which grain transportation team is fake." As a bait, we left a flaw in one of the grain transporting teams. With the shrewdness of the commoner, he would be able to spot it and attack the other grain transporting team."
Only when the strategy is false and true can people be fooled.
"General, general, it's not good!"
At this time, a scout galloped over on horseback and shouted urgently, "The cavalry of Dashang is coming!"
However.
The scout's words trailed off.
From behind, a sharp arrow shot through the air and penetrated directly through the scout's body.
next moment.
In the distance, horses' hooves rumbled, rushing towards them like a torrent of molten metal.
"not good!"
In the canyon, Tantai Zhen saw this, his expression changed, and he shouted urgently, "Hurry up and get out of here!"
But, it's too late.
But above the canyon, thousands of sharp arrows rained down, shooting towards the front of the team, hindering the Mobei Iron Cavalry from starting to speed up.
Arrows fell and screams rang out. Hundreds of Mobei cavalrymen near the entrance fell off their horses, and the situation became chaotic.
After a round of arrow rain, huge rocks rolled down from the top of the canyon, continuing to cause trouble for the Mobei Cavalry.
On the canyon, Han Cheng and a thousand soldiers of the army stared at the soldiers of the Mobei Iron Cavalry who were closest to the entrance of the canyon. The purpose was obvious. They could start at a faster speed, leave, and change directions.
The soldiers were very fast. After a moment of obstruction, seven thousand merchant cavalry rushed in before the entrance of the canyon.
The most powerful thing about cavalry is its impact.
The Mobei cavalry, which had not started to speed up, was quickly broken into formation by the Dashang cavalry, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Quickly retreat!"
Seeing that there was no way to go to the entrance, Tantai Zhen immediately ordered the army to retreat from the rear.
The team switched heads and tail and rushed towards the exit of the canyon.
"Chase!"
At the front of Dashang's seven thousand cavalry, Li Ziye said coldly, "Kill them all, leaving no one behind!"
"yes!"
Dashang's soldiers took the order and chased after him.
At the exit of the canyon, Luo Xiao heard the rumble of galloping horse hooves ahead, and a look of excitement appeared on his fatter face.
The time has come for meritorious deeds!
"Brothers, let's get to work!"
Luo Xiao shouted loudly, jumped up, and chopped down a huge boulder with one knife, adding another layer of blockage to the already not particularly wealthy exit.
In the rear, the remaining two thousand merchant soldiers were guarding the exit, bows and arrows ready, ready to go!
After counting the interest.
Amidst the rumble of horse hooves, the remaining troops from Mobei rushed towards them.
"Fire the arrow!"
When Luo Xiao saw this, he immediately ordered.
In an instant, waves of arrows flew out, shooting at the Mobei cavalry who were fleeing for their lives.
The screams sounded again.
The cavalry fell from their horses and flipped over. In a chain reaction, the Mobei cavalry quickly fell in pieces.
With a blockade in front and pursuers behind, the invincible Mobei cavalry suddenly became a turtle in a urn.
At the same time, above Baidi City.
Tantai Jingyue, who was looking south and thinking about ways to defeat the enemy, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. He turned to look north, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
Is it possible?
