In March of the third year of Zhangwu of the Han Dynasty, we were in the barren mountains and wild ridges of Jieyang Ridge, Nanhai County, Jiaozhou.
Li Yi, who was born in Bajun, and Jiangdong's fierce general Song Qian, led by "guide" Huang Gai, went directly to the interior of Jieyang Ridge from the path in the mountains and forests.
And this road is indeed, as Huang Gai said, extremely difficult to walk.
It is said that this was one of the roads that was reluctantly dug out by the First Emperor when he was expanding his territory.
After so many years, this road has long been abandoned. Fortunately, Huang Gai is a native of Nanhai County and knows Jieyang well. Otherwise, it would be difficult to find this road that has been abandoned for who knows how many years. come out.
During this march, a problem arose for the Jiangdong soldiers.
This time, the battlefield of Jiaozhou was finally decided by Zhuge Liang and Zheng Du. One of the big reasons was that the terrain of Jiaozhou was somewhat similar to that of Yizhou.
There are many mountains and rivers, and Jiaozhou is located in a barren area and looks quite desolate, so it is generally appropriate to use Yizhou's troops to enter Jiaozhou.
But Jiangdong is different from Jiaozhou. It cannot be said that the soldiers and horses under Sun Quan's command are not elite, nor can they be said to be without soldiers and horses who are good at fighting in the mountains and forests.
However...the soldiers and horses under Sun Quan who are good at mountains and forests are not elites, and the elites under his command basically have nothing to do with the word "mountains and forests".
This was the case with this "surprise attack".
Jiangdong's military generals are not without fierce generals from the Central Plains, nor are they without cavalry generals, nor are they without generals who are good at fighting in the mountains and forests.
Such as He Qi who was confronting Liu Xun, and Li Yi, who was quite proud of himself under the leadership of Huang Gai...
But it was just Li Yi.
This Yizhou general who killed Zhao Wei back then has become quite famous in the past few years after surrendering to Jiangdong, and he can be regarded as a real strong general in Jiangdong.
The Battle of Jingzhou and the Battle of Yiling also made repeated military exploits.
Li Yi, who was born in Yizhou, is now even more comfortable in the land of Jiaozhou, and he has been at the forefront of several attacks.
In this sneak attack, Sun Quan also found Li Yi immediately and asked him to follow Huang Gai as the main general in the sneak attack.
But...except for Li Yi and Huang Gai, all the other Jiangdong soldiers and horses in this team changed their expressions. Before noon, they were already wilting like vegetables beaten by frost.
They were all soldiers from Jiangdong, and were originally not very adaptable to the climate and terrain of Jiaozhou.
But the distance is not far, so it is not unacceptable.
But when they started to cross the mountains and ridges, the group of soldiers who were rowing boats on the river finally couldn't bear it anymore.
They were already quite tired before they even arrived.
If Song Qian and others were not able to suppress each other, who knows if this group of people would cause any trouble?
But even so, this army did not think that their trip would fail.
Just because they really looked down on Liu Chan.
Although their own Supreme was beaten into a joke on the battlefield, Liu Chan was not much better.
Zhuge Jin watched the entire battle of Liu Chan's Jiangling.
In Zhuge Jin's words, the burly prince was definitely not a performer. He couldn't produce that kind of effect. He was exactly the same as the rumored Supreme...
Because of this, in the eyes of the Jiangdong soldiers, Liu Chan's ability to lead troops was just like that!
As for guarding Wancheng, they also defended Ruxuwu under Cao Cao.
A group of exhausted but excited Jiangdong soldiers walked in the mountains for two full days.
Finally, when they were about to fall completely, they saw the soldiers, horses and flags of the big man.
only....
When they were still halfway away from Jieyang County, they encountered a Han army's soldiers and horses, which appeared in front of them very suddenly.
Blocked their way.
"Is this Jieyang? Is Jieyang so desolate?"
General Jiangdong looked at the hundreds of Han troops in front of him and the young Han general standing in front of them, and his expression couldn't help but change a little.
He didn't even need to ask these words. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart.
Which city would be placed in this mountain forest? And there isn’t even a city brick!
Huang Gai on the side also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face became a little trembling.
“No...that’s not right...not many people know this path.
And even if Zeng Xia and others knew that this road was desolate and secluded, most people would not choose this road.
How could this Han army be waiting for me halfway..."
Huang Gai looked at the Han army in front of him and naturally thought that someone among the Han army had discovered their plan and was waiting for them halfway.
At this moment, Huang Gai's heart was filled with fear, and he even had the urge to turn around and run away.
But just when he was about to escape, Song Qian on the side also panted and walked forward and walked to Li Yi's side.
By the way, he grabbed Huang Gai's arm so that he could not escape.
"Don't worry, the Han army only has a few hundred people.
If they really had suspicions about our behavior, they would not choose hundreds of people to wait here.
And... look at this group of people, all of them are thin and thin, not elite.
I guess he was just a scout of the Han army.
Although I don’t know why there are so many scouts, but now that they have encountered them, they cannot be allowed to leave alive. "
Song Qiannai was a general from Jiangdong. He had followed Sun Quan in the north and south for many years. He had more experience than Li Yi. He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with this army.
At the same time, he also "guessed" the identity of this troop.
And the guess was so reasonable that many people immediately nodded slowly, with a look of surprise on their faces.
After hearing Song Qian's words, the Jiangdong soldiers behind him felt their hearts drop again.
Especially Li Yi, who had just lost his composure, looked at the young general of the Han army whom he had never seen before, and now there was a sinister smile on his face.
"Okay... General Song Qian is right. Now that we have encountered them, we cannot let them leave alive."
"All officers and men listen to the order. The enemy is weak. Follow our generals and charge to kill them. No one will be spared!"
Following Li Yi's roar, Jiangdong's army rushed over without saying a word, and the exhausted Jiangdong soldiers immediately became more energetic at this time.
He forcibly raised his morale again, and then roared towards the Han army facing him.
At the same time, Wang Ping, the commander of the Han army in front of Li Yi and other Jiangdong soldiers, slowly took out the saber from his waist.
"Wudang Feijun... follow me to kill the enemy!"
