After Song Jiang finished speaking, he really retreated with his army. Qinbei Pavilion
"Am I the stupid one because I was fooled by him?"
Sun Lei scratched his head and started thinking.
"Brother, you can't let Song Jiang go like this. I will lead people to hunt him down!"
Li Yan and others were not willing to let Song Jiang go like this, so they asked for help one by one.
"What do the military advisors think?"
Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, Gongsun Sheng, and Li Zhu.
At this time, Xiao Jiahui frowned and thought, Wen Huanzhang stroked his beard and thought, Gongsun Sheng started counting with his fingers, and Li Zhu glanced around with squinted eyes.
"Brother, there must be an ambush in Song Jiang."
After a while, the four people said in unison, thinking that there was an ambush.
"Brother, the strength shown by Song Jiang is not enough to confront us, but Song Jiang is here, and the camp and formation are not bad. There is obviously something wrong."
Wen Huanzhang said.
"Based on the war alone, Song Jiang's morale has not declined and his vitality has not been damaged. He should not have withdrawn so easily. Moreover, Zhu Long, Wang Ying, and Zheng Tianshou entered Zhujiazhuang last night."
Xiao Jiasui expressed his opinion.
"Brother, Xiaodao has made a prediction. Although it is not dangerous, there are variables."
Gongsun Sheng said directly.
"Brother, I don't think the faces of the people opposite are lying. Except for Song Jiang, the rest of them don't seem to be lying."
Li Assistant spoke.
"Mr. Li, do you think Song Jiang is lying?"
Sun Lei looked at Li Zhu and asked. Li Zhu knew how to read people and was not very accurate at reading people. If there was something wrong with Song Jiang, there must be something wrong.
"I can't see the details, but Song Jiang was too calm. Even if the general failed, his expression did not change at all. He didn't hesitate at all when he said to withdraw his troops. If he had not been prepared in advance, Song Jiang should not have been able to do this."
Li Assistant looked at Sun Lei and said.
"It seems that I was not fooled by Song Jiang, but that Song Jiang really had an ambush."
Sun Lei rubbed his chin and thought, Song Jiang brought almost all the troops this time, the only ones who didn't come were Chao Gai and his men. Chao Gai was not a big threat.
"Come on, follow me and take a look. I really want to know what trick Song Jiang set for me!"
Sun Lei waved his hand, and everyone led the troops to pursue Song Jiang, but because they knew there was an ambush, they didn't go very fast.
Song Jiang's army.
"Brother, Sun Lei is chasing after him with his troops!"
Kong Liang reported to Song Jiang.
"Sun Lei is a person who doesn't keep his word!"
Mu Chun looked gloomy and cursed angrily.
"Brother, what should we do? Sun Lei's soldiers and horses are very fast, and we will be caught up in a short time."
Deng Long said in a panic that they had just lost the battle, how could they withstand it if Sun Lei caught up with him.
"Brothers, go to the woods!"
Song Jiang was not panicked at all, pointing to the low-lying woods not far away.
"Let's go to the woods!"
Deng Long, Li Zhong, and Yan Shun immediately called on the minions to run to the woods.
"Brother, this place is low-lying and not conducive to defense!"
Guan Sheng glanced around and saw that the forest they were in was a low-lying place with mountains on both sides. If the enemy came over, they would have no way to escape.
"Brother, it's better to retreat to the mountains and rely on the terrain for defense."
Hu Yanzhuo suggested.
"No need, let's wait here for Sun Lei to come!"
Song Jiang said confidently.
"Brother, how to fight this battle?"
Everyone looked at Song Jiang in confusion. If they really wanted to fight, they should have taken action just now instead of changing to such an unfavorable terrain.
"Brothers, please be patient, Sun Lei's death is coming soon."
Song Jiang still smiled and said nothing. There were some things that couldn't be explained directly. A sudden clarification could shock everyone and make them fall in love with him.
"This ravine should be called Mie Sheng Valley from now on!"
Song Jiang looked at the ravine sandwiched by mountains on both sides and thought proudly in his heart.
"Brother, Song Jiang's army is arrayed in a forest ahead!"
Lei Jiong rode back to report.
"Aren't you running away again?"
Sun Lei began to think.
"Brother, the place is low-lying and the woods are sparse and low. There is only one road. Our cavalry can capture it with one rush!"
Lei Jiong introduced to Sun Lei that cavalry is most suitable for fighting on plains. What is better than plains is to swoop down from high ground. Song Jiang chose a low-lying place, which is suitable for cavalry to swoop down.
"Let's go over and have a look."
After hearing what Lei Jiong said, Sun Lei was even more confused. No matter how stupid Song Jiang was, he would never choose that kind of place for a decisive battle.
The army marched forward for three miles and happened to see Song Jiang's army arrayed in front of the woods below.
"This terrain! Unless I'm a fool, I won't even bring my bag in!"
Sun Lei looked at the terrain between two mountains and a ditch. Isn't this a common ambush location in historical dramas about the Anti-Japanese War? The mountains on both sides are the most suitable for ambush of large armies. If you go in by yourself, you will be dead.
"Brother, Song Jiang's army is all in the woods, where is the army?"
Pang Wanchun couldn't hold it any longer. This kind of terrain was perfect for a charge, so a quick victory shouldn't be a problem.
"Remember, no one is guaranteed to win in a war. When you think you have everything under control and victory is right in front of you, it is actually the most dangerous time. The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. We don't even know how many people are behind Song Jiang. I don’t know, why do you say there’s no ambush up there?”
Sun Lei shook his head and said, the most taboo thing in marching and fighting is to act recklessly. What's more, now that I have the advantage, there is no need to take risks. If we fight steadily, we will win.
"Brother is right, you must not enter this kind of terrain rashly!"
Li Zhu looked at the terrain in front of him and said, just from the terrain, he could see that the front was dangerous, it could be said to be a dead land.
"When Pang Tong led his troops into Xichuan, he was shot dead by random arrows at Luofengpo. The terrain in front of him was even worse than Luofengpo. If there were a large number of archers and crossbowmen on the mountains on both sides, supplemented by rolling stones and wooden barriers, , the consequences would be disastrous."
Hua Rong pointed to the hillsides on both sides and said, this is the best place to set up an ambush for the crossbow array.
"Can Song Jiang have so many crossbows?"
Pang Wanchun was a little unconvinced, but there was no urgency in his words. He also understood that the terrain ahead was dangerous and it would be extremely disadvantageous for them if there was an ambush.
"Sun Lei, since I have kept my promise and left, what's the point of you chasing after me? Why don't you bully me, Song Jiang, so he doesn't dare to hit you!"
Song Jiang saw Sun Lei stopped and pointed at Sun Lei and yelled.
"Song Jiang, please don't slander anyone. I am the most hospitable person. You have come all the way from Qingzhou, so I have to send you off anyway. Why do you bite Lu Dongbin and don't know the heart of a good person?"
When Sun Lei saw Song Jiang coming out of the battle, he was sure that there was an ambush on the mountains on both sides.
"In that case, then come and deliver it!"
A flash of murderous intent flashed in Song Jiang's eyes, but he hid it well and no one noticed it.
"Just watch it off. It's getting late, so you can continue on your way!"
Sun Lei pointed at the setting sun but it would not enter the ravine.
"You want to see each other off but don't come over, what's the point?"
Song Jiang was furious when he saw that Sun Lei was not fooled.
"Are you leaving or not?"
Sun Lei did not answer directly, but asked about Song Jiang.
"Song thinks this place is good, so he will camp here today!"
Song Jiang pointed to the bushes behind him and said, he didn't believe that Sun Lei could resist going into the valley.
