Just as chaos broke out in the Gaoding tent, on a mountain ridge at the junction of Anshang and Xindao counties, Liu Yin and others were all ready to go, with solemn expressions on their faces.
"Brother Botong, how are Buddy's preparations going?" Liu Yin asked Shen Da who came forward.
Both of them were army commanders, but before leaving, Yang Qing specified that Liu Yin would be the leader of the army and Shen Da would be the deputy. Therefore, Liu Yin was in charge tonight, and Shen Da was the one who made the specific arrangements. Of course, the deputy was also Qiang. Will Buddy.
Shen Da pointed to the looming hilltop opposite and replied: "I just went to see them. They are also in ambush and can attack only when ordered."
"Okay, brother Botong, thank you for your hard work." Liu Yin cupped his fists and thanked him.
Although he is the chief general between the two, Shen Da is both a senior in the army and an old man from the south, so Liu Yin also respects Shen Da quite a bit.
Shen Da waved his hand and smiled: "I just don't know what's going on with Feng Chong? They are related to the success or failure of tonight's battle."
Liu Yin looked up at the night and said, "It's almost time. According to the agreement, the scouts should be back."
As expected, soon two scouts rushed to the mountain to report that Feng Chong would lead his troops to this place in half an hour.
After hearing the scout's report, Liu Yin immediately issued an order: "Come here, order all the troops to cheer up and make no noise. Only wait for my commander's order to attack with the whole army. No mistakes will be made. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."
After the messenger responded, he went to deliver the order without mentioning it. Liu Yin slowly said to Shen Da beside him: "Although this place is surrounded by two mountains, the mountains are low and the roads are smooth. The cavalry can pass through here quickly. If not Fujun’s clever plan, this is really not a good place to set up an ambush.”
"Yes, so I must move quickly and not give the Yi soldiers time to react." Shen Da nodded in response.
"By the way, Xiuran, did Feng Chong remind him that when he gets here, he must lead the sergeant around to the front from the Youshan trail?"
"Brother Botong, don't worry. I have mentioned this point many times in my letter. Feng Chong is a careful and careful person, so he would not make such a mistake."
"That puts me at ease."
Shen Da smiled slightly. Feng Chong could not lead an army deep behind enemy lines, so he would not make such a small mistake. It seems that he is still a little nervous compared to Xiuran. No wonder the prince values him so much. Xiuran will The future is limitless.
Under the clear moonlight, hundreds of cavalrymen were galloping forward, with thousands of cavalrymen chasing them two miles away.
Although there were pursuers behind them, these hundreds of cavalrymen did not panic. They had experienced this situation countless times in the past few days, and they were already familiar with it.
Ever since he was ordered to go deep behind enemy lines to raid the food routes of the Yi soldiers, Feng Chong led his troops to make numerous gains, which put considerable pressure on the Yi soldiers' logistics. However, Gao Ding also reacted very quickly and quickly transferred his younger brother Gao Zhong over to control the riding and protect the grain road.
The number of Yi cavalry was more than twice that of Feng Chong's troops. Ever since Gao Zhong led his troops, he had been unable to attack the grain road and had to continue to implement guerrilla tactics and play a hide-and-seek game with the enemy cavalry.
These days, the two cavalry groups fought dozens of times, trying to outwit each other, but each suffered damage. Feng Chong's tribe still has more than 300 cavalry, while the Gao and Heavy Division has less than a thousand men, with only more than 800 cavalry left.
Tonight, Feng Chong followed his plan and went to attack the Yi soldiers' food road. Sure enough, he was bitten by Gao Zhong, who had been prepared for it. He led his troops and the Yi soldiers to deliberately tease him for several times and tried hard to get rid of them. But as if it was unavailable, Yi Qi really followed him all the time.
In fact, Feng Chong didn't know that even if he didn't act to deceive the enemy soldiers tonight, Gao Zhong would bite them hard.
Because today Gao Zhong has received a military order from his elder brother to lead his troops to join the main force, so tonight is his last chance to annihilate this group of Han cavalry alone, and he does not want to let it go easily.
"Wu Ji, how far is it from the scheduled location?" Feng Chong asked the strong-backed camp commander next to him.
This is one of his three remaining commanders. He is highly valued for his bravery in battle, and he has been informed of tonight's strategy.
Wu Ji looked at the surrounding terrain and replied: "It's less than ten miles away."
"Okay, tell the brothers to speed up and keep the barbarians away."
Wu Ji knew that this was to quickly bypass the Youshan trail and prevent the enemy from discovering that he was taking the trail instead of the main road, so he immediately responded: "No."
Hearing the sound of hoofbeats in front of them getting faster, Gao Zhong and others knew that their opponents had increased their speed. Although they didn't know why, the lieutenant in front of them still loudly suggested to Gao Zhong: "Second King, should we speed up too?" ?”
Gao Zhong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No need, let the Han people run for a while, and when their power is exhausted, I will speed up again."
"The second king is brilliant." The deputy general praised.
Gao Zhong also looked a little complacent. Tonight, he had made up his mind to seize the opportunity to eliminate his henchmen in one fell swoop, and then go see his elder brother with great achievements.
"coming."
The sound of horse hooves came from a distance. Liu Yin and others knew that the battle was about to begin, and immediately leaned into the jungle to prepare to kill the enemy.
Sure enough, a cavalry galloped over and arrived in front of the valley. The leading knight waved the flag in his hand, and a sergeant also stood on the top of the right mountain and waved the military flag.
Hundreds of cavalrymen did not stop when they saw this, and went straight through the flanking path on the right side of the mountain. After a while, they appeared at the end of the valley, but there were several huge rocks blocking the entrance of the valley, making it impossible to pass for a while.
"Drive, drive, drive."
"Uu, uh, uh..."
Gao Zhong led the Yiqi to finally catch up, but when he saw the valley in front of him, he felt a little hesitant and ordered his men to slow down.
"Second King, what a good thing." The scout went to inquire about it and reported back.
Gao Ding was surprised and said: "Oh? What's the good thing?"
The scout leaned forward on his horse and replied: "The Han people were blocked by rolling rocks and are now stuck in the valley."
"Oh? Is this happening?" Gao Zhong was surprised and happy, and then asked: "What is the terrain of the valley like?"
The scout said: "The valley is about one mile deep. There are low hills on both sides, not steep mountains. The road in the valley is flat and wide, so it is not a dangerous place."
Hearing this, the last trace of doubt in Gao Zhong's heart had dissipated, and he immediately shouted joyfully: "Haha, this is exactly what God is doing to help me. It is fitting that we should accomplish this great feat. My sons and daughters will follow me into the valley to annihilate the Han army. Kill!" !”
"Kill..." The morale of the Yi soldiers was greatly boosted upon hearing this, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Especially when they rushed to the entrance of the valley and saw that the Han army was blocked at the exit and could not enter or exit, they were even more ecstatic. They rushed forward on their horses, vowing to make great contributions by taking more enemy heads.
"It smells so good." A barbarian soldier who was currently rushing into the middle of the valley suddenly smelled a fragrance. He looked around and saw that the ground was covered with beans.
Gao Zhong also discovered this situation and wondered if the grain and grass carried by the Han people had accidentally dropped? Well, that must be the case. It seems that the Han people are really at the end of their rope.
"Haha, my sons, follow me and kill." Gao Zhong drew his sword and shouted. He clamped his legs together, intending to speed up the horse, but the horse didn't listen at all. Only then did he realize that his horse had listened and was eating sweet beans on the ground.
Gao Zhong looked around at the troops behind him and saw that their mounts were doing the same thing. He was shocked and whipped the horses hard, but the mounts refused to give up such delicious food.
The Yi cavalry chased for a long time, and it was the time when the horses were trapped and hungry. At this moment, the horses smelled the fragrant beans and refused to leave. They all stopped to eat the beans, no matter how their masters drove them, they remained unmoved.
"Isn't this a coincidence?" Gao Chong felt vaguely uneasy and asked in his heart.
"Woooooooo..."
Suddenly there was a sound of drums from the hills on both sides, which surprised the barbarian soldiers. They looked for the sound and saw a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly appearing on the hills on the left and right, shooting bows and arrows at them.
"No, I've fallen into a trap." Gao Zhong didn't understand at the moment, so he immediately shouted: "Get out of the valley quickly."
