Chapter 110: Murong Lin Advancing Underestimated the Enemy
On the south bank of Zhang River, the land of white sand.
Hundreds of Jin army soldiers were holding shovels to build embankments, intercepting the eastward flow of the Zhang River, facing the loess, and shouting horns, and working hard.
"Speed up! I will store the water before sunset today, but don't block the water flow. The general ordered us to hide our tracks after the dam was completed, so we were ambushed here and waited for the order." The person who commanded the soldiers to dig the soil was Xu Wen, who was promoted by Xu Zongwen and was newly promoted to the owner of the banner.
Yesterday, several people left Fuhu Mountain and went to the vicinity of Yecheng to lure the enemy. Xu Zongwen gave him a mysterious task, which was to build an embankment thirty miles west of Fuhu Mountain, intercept the Zhang River, and store water for later use.
Xu Wen did not dare to be negligent, so he took people to the near Baisha section of Zhangshui overnight, chose a water bank with a slow water flow with large water changes direction, and immediately started to take action.
The soldiers under Xu Wen's men brought two small boats from somewhere. The soldiers cut down a few thick cypress trees and set up a rack in the water, stuffing the boat with loess and stones. Then they pushed the two small boats full of mud and stone into the Zhang River, then filled the mud and sand, and soon blocked the Zhang River, leaving only a big eye. The project is about to succeed.
"Okay, bring your horses and food to the mountain!" Xu Wen greeted, and the soldiers said in unison. Soon, the 100-man team that built the Zhangshui embankment hid in the nearby coniferous mountains and became hidden.
Fuhu Mountain, on the General Ridge.
Xu Zongwen drew a weed, broke the mud root, pulled out the grass core and started sucking.
On the side, Xi Jian, who hadn't slept for a few days, had already fallen asleep for a long time, and his snoring was deafening. The soldiers nearby looked disgusted, but when they saw Xu Zongwen turning a deaf ear to Xi Jian's snoring, they had nothing to complain about.
After a long time, Xu Zongwen was tired from lying. He spat out the chewed wild grass roots in his mouth, turned over and asked Zhang San: "Why is there no news about the sent people yet?"
Zhang San looked into the valley, lowered his head and said, "General, my fourth brother has been following the general for a long time, so he should not miss it, let alone just lure the enemy. Just pretend to retreat. Maybe the Yan army has arrived at this time!"
The few troops sent by Xu Zongwen to lure the enemy were handed over to Zhang Si's command. There was no movement for two days. Seeing that the soldiers carried less and less food, Xu Zongwen was a little anxious.
But two days are indeed a little short, so wait and see!
Xu Zongwen prayed with a lucky mentality that Zhang Si could lead the enemy to Fuhu Mountain. He ambushed people on the north and south sides of the General Ridge, prepared wooden and rocks for Yan's army. When the Yan army entered the valley, the ambush set up by the Jin army would take effect immediately!
At that time, the Jin army cavalry ambushed at the foot of the East and West Mountains would attack quickly, intercept the Yan army and block the valley!
This Fuhu Mountain is only a hundred miles away from Yecheng. The land of Baisha is seventy miles east of Yecheng. It should be full of scouts from Yan army.
If Yan's army was surrounded by a large army, Xu Zongwen could open the gate and release water. He learned that Han Xin was blocking the upper reaches of the Wei River. He was dizzy when Longjie was crossing the river by a flood. When he was in chaos, he covered up the Chu army and killed him. He defeated 200,000 Chu army and fled in a hurry!
On the contrary, it was a small Yan army attacking, so Xu Zongwen greeted these guests from afar at Fuhu Mountain and sent them to the Western Paradise for a long time to have fun!

"I hope so!" Xu Zongwen lay down with his head on Zhang San's baggage among the weeds, closing his eyes to rest.
Ten miles south of Fuhu Mountain, dust was flying, and dozens of Jin army soldiers galloped over. Zhang Si, the leader, had a messy hair on his forehead and his face was full of anxiety. The Yan army behind him followed closely. The Jin army soldiers didn't even want flags and soldiers, and they were thrown all over the ground.
"Swish swish swish swish..." Yan soldiers were skilled in bows and horses, wearing leather armor, and bent their bows and arrows at the Jin cavalry team that fled in a hurry. Several Jin knights who were behind were unfortunately caught and were shot in the back by Yan soldiers. They were knocked down from their horses and trampled to death by horse hooves!
Zhang Si glanced back and saw his brother being stepped into meat paste by the Yan army. He couldn't bear it but could not act irritated. The military order was like a mountain. He held his breath and galloped towards the valley of Fuhu Mountain with the remaining soldiers.
"Go, go, go!"
Zhang Si's eyes were red and his face was pale. He gritted his teeth and cursed fiercely: "Damn Yan Gou, you will feel better after a while!"
Not long after, after sacrificing more than a dozen brothers one after another, Zhang San finally lured hundreds of Yan troops to Fuhu Mountain.
At the same time, the other teams lured Yan soldiers to this end. The 5,000 troops sent by Murong Chui to wipe out Xu Zongwen's elder sixth Murong Lin.
"I think where are you two-legged sheep running?" Murong Lin smirked and directed the five thousand Yan troops to surround him, trying to wipe out hundreds of troops led by Zhang San.
Zhang Si sneered in his heart, and without saying a word, he led the Jin army soldiers into the valley. Now the Yan army naturally chased after him, and even Murong Lin led his army to attack.
A large number of people were dispatched, and the sound of horse hooves that shocked the forest alarmed Xu Zongwen.
"Here you come!" Xu Zongwen turned over, stretched out his hands and placed them in front of his forehead, used as a human telescope, and carefully observed the details in the valley.
The Jin army, who were ambushing on the north and south sides of the General Ridge, had been waiting for a long time. They were all out of their sheath and were rushing to the strings, and they wanted to try.
A large number of huge rocks were pushed forward slowly, and the rope trapped the huge rocks on the cliff. The Jin army crossbowmen concentrated on observing the distance between the Yan army under the valley under the cover of plants and trees, holding leaves in their mouths to predict the wind direction at any time.
"You boy, Wanjun divine crossbow, how many steps do you want to shoot this crossbow?" Xu Zongwen stood up and walked to the nearest crossbow camp, patted a veteran's shoulder, and asked with a smile.
The veteran was a little flattered. He calmed down, squinted his eyes, and carefully estimated the distance with his hands on the crossbow. He looked at Xu Zongwen, "General, you are half sure within three hundred steps. If you are two hundred steps, your subordinates will be eight or nine points!"
"What if it's a hundred steps?" Xu Zongwen looked at Yan Jun, who was about to enter the ambush circle in the valley, and asked without looking back.
The veteran patted his chest and promised, "If it takes a hundred steps, my subordinates will definitely hit it!"
"Okay!" Xu Zongwen pointed to the Yan army's flag in the valley and said, "I shot that flagpole for me. You are a great achievement in this battle! This general rewards you with a pearl and promotes you to the centurion of the bow and crossbow camp!"
Centurion!
A soldier jumped so many levels and became a centurion!
The soldiers around looked at the veteran with envious eyes, and the veteran nodded hard: "Don't worry, General, I will definitely shoot the Yan army flag down!"
Xu Zongwen patted the veteran's back twice with relief, and then encouraged him to leave.
"Old Li, you're lucky! Hey!"
"That's right, if you can get the general's appreciation, your future will be unlimited!"
"What if Lao Li's skill in crossbows is great? Even the general has fallen in love with him."
