This is an unknown mountain, deserted for dozens of miles, and even the guide cannot tell the name of this mountain.
There are dense jungles and lush vegetation on the mountain, and the surroundings are lush and lush. You can hear the chirping of birds and insects everywhere. Only a winding mountain road at the bottom of the mountain extends forward. At the end of the mountain road there is a steep canyon. The canyon is hundreds of feet long and there is no grass growing.
From the coach's perspective, this terrain is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is possible to hide millions of soldiers without leaving any trace.
This is also the reason why Li Qinzai chose to set up an ambush here.
Put yourself in their shoes, if you were the one being ambushed and walked into this dangerous place, as long as the front and rear mountain roads were cut off, you would basically be dead.
Soldiers are the key to life and death. Li Qinzai was not so conceited. After he took a fancy to this mountain forest, he summoned Wang Fangyi, Liu Renyuan and others to inquire.
After observing from a high place, the two generals felt that the mountain forest selected by Li Qinzai was good and an excellent ambush point. Li Qinzai then ordered the entire army to hide in the forest.
While the ambush was being laid, teams of scouts were also sent out.
Time is tight and the future is unpredictable. I don't know how many soldiers and horses have been sent from the direction of Shanyi City to reinforce Bobi. Li Qinzai only has more than 10,000 people under his command. He is not sure whether he can successfully snipe the enemy's reinforcements.
But Li Qinzai was very confident in the ambush point he chose, because it was random. No one, including Li Qinzai, could have predicted in advance that he would choose this place, let alone the enemy.
Calculating mentally but not intentionally, first of all, the winning rate increased by 30%.
After the soldiers hid themselves in the dense mountain forest, Li Qinzai also took his troops and hid in a patch of grass in the forest.
Li Qinzai squatted in the grass, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and squinting at the sky.
The most difficult thing about an ambush is waiting, especially waiting in a harsh environment.
The mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the scenery is unique. It looks like a lush mountain scenery, but in fact the mountains and forests are full of mosquito bites and wild beasts. Beware of snakes, ants, leeches, etc. that may come out at any time.
Just like the prairie that everyone longs for, it seems endless and refreshing. However, when you really enter the prairie, you will find that the endless green grass is not as neatly grown, and it is not as green and shiny as the photographer's picture.
The ground is full of cow and sheep excrement. Forget about going to the toilet. Find a place to squat in the wild. As long as you dare to expose your butt, huge mosquitoes will bite you and cause anemia in an instant.
The mountain forest in front of me is also beautiful, but I have no intention of admiring it.
Li Qinzai couldn't bear it after squatting for a while. When had he ever experienced this when he was so proud? If he hadn't had the ambition to serve the country, he should be sailing on the Qujiang River in Chang'an at this time.
I was drifting alone and resentful for half my life, and my life was desolate. Suddenly, a flagpole appeared next to me. When I thrust the flagpole into the soil, there was a muffled sound, and the bottom of the pole penetrated the ground for more than a foot.
Looking up, a huge handsome flag with the character "李" in the character "李" was standing next to Li Qinzai. The flag was fluttering in the wind. If Li Qinzai was not squatting at this time, he would still be very majestic.
Li Qinzai looked at the person who planted the flag again, um, Zheng Sanlang.
It’s not strange anymore, it’s not surprising what this idiot does.
Li Qinzai sighed, stood up silently, moved away from Shuai Qi, stepped back more than ten steps, found a place in the dense grass and continued to squat down.
A moment later, there was another muffled sound, and the lingering handsome flag was firmly planted next to him again.
Li Qinzai suddenly raised his head and looked at Zheng Sanlang with complicated eyes.
Zheng Sanlang sniffed and bared his teeth and smiled at him.
Li Qinzai couldn't bear it anymore and sighed: "Sanlang..."
"The villain is here, what are your orders from Marshal Li?"
Pointing to the handsome flag beside him, Li Qinzai said slowly: "This thing... Do you insist on following me like a ghost?"
Zheng Sanlang said innocently: "Boss Feng said that the villain will carry the flag after following Li Shuai. Wherever Li Shuai is, the flag will be there."
"Boss Feng" is Feng Su, Li Qinzai's new military commander, taking over from Liu Asi.
Li Qinzai had a headache. It was very hard to reason with this fool, and it might not make sense.
Li Qinzai could only say seductively: "You know we are in an ambush battle now, right?"
Zheng Sanlang smiled: "Look at what Li Shuai said, I'm not stupid, of course I know this is an ambush."
Tsk, look at how ignorant people are about themselves.
Li Qinzai asked again: "Do you know what the characteristics of an ambush are?"
This question is profound, and it is not easy to answer it with Zheng Sanlang's IQ. He hesitated for a long time and said carefully: "The characteristic of ambush warfare is... to beat the bastards quietly?"
Li Qinzai sighed: "The characteristic of ambush warfare is 'ambush'. When we ambush, the enemy gets into our trap, and then we beat him like a bastard."
"When we were ambush, your handsome flag was waving brightly in the mountains and forests. Do you know what this means?"
"Wha...what?"
"This flag is telling the enemies on the mountain road, 'I'm here, hey, I'm ambushing you, come and hit me, you idiot!'"
Zheng Sanlang said stupidly: "So, this handsome flag..."
Li Qinzai glanced at him and said, "Why don't you quickly put down the flag? Do you understand the principle of 'horses wrap their hooves, and people hold their titles', and 'the flags and drums cease'?"
"don't know."
Li Qinzai laughed angrily: "I just told you, do you understand now?"
Zheng Sanlang grinned: "I understand. Li Shuai will tell you directly if anything happens in the future. Don't be unreasonable. The more you talk about being a villain, the more confused you will become."
"Put down the flag and get away."
"okay!"
After sitting cross-legged in the grass for about two hours, Li Qinzai was about to collapse when a burst of rapid footsteps came.
The scouts came to report that the enemy army had started from the direction of Humiyi City and was marching towards this place. The number of soldiers and horses was about 30,000 and they would arrive in two hours.
Li Qinzai perked up.
Li Ji's guess was correct. The enemy indeed sent troops to reinforce Bobi City.
Thirty thousand enemy troops, twice as many as our own, can fight in a battle if we have the right time and place.
"Instruct all officers and men in the army to check their firearms and ammunition, load them in advance, and prepare to attack the enemy." Li Qinzai ordered in a deep voice.
A strong fighting spirit overflowed from the bottom of my heart. I couldn't explain the reason, I just felt the blood in my chest burning inexplicably.
The same goes for the surrounding soldiers. In the silence, a biting murderous intention gradually filled the jungle.
The murderous intent was tangible. Just after Li Qinzai gave the order, the birds and insects stopped chirping in the dense mountain forest. The air exuded a strong smell of blood for no reason, making people breathless.
Li Qinzai is very calm at the moment. He has calmness during major events. This is the most basic quality of a military coach.
"Summon Liu Asi to see me." Li Qinzai said quickly.
Liu Asi quickly rushed to Li Qinzai's side: "Does Commander Li have any orders?"
Li Qinzai stared at the canyon at the end of the mountain road and said slowly: "As for the use of gunpowder, besides loading the three-eyed gun, do you know what else it can be used for?"
"Alchemy." Liu Asi said without thinking.
God makes alchemy!
