The stone walls on both sides of the Sanzhe Valley are tens of meters high. From the outside, they are not suitable for ambushing a large group of people. This is the main reason why the Korean food delivery troops did not take this place seriously, but they never expected that Ji Jie would bring nine thousand people.
People are placed here in sections, which overcomes the disadvantage of not being able to accommodate tens of thousands of people for an ambush.
Fifty thousand stones of grain and fodder were loaded on hundreds of trucks, accompanied by four thousand light cavalry. They were already familiar with the matter of delivering grain, and walked into Sanzhe Valley without any scruples.
When the convoy completely entered the valley, Ji Jian gave an order, and the soldiers who were ambushing at a high place began to shoot arrows downwards. Han Sui, the grain escort officer, shouted: "No, we are in an ambush. Everyone, follow me and rush out!"
Both the way back and forward were blocked by large rocks. Han Sui tried his best to fight left and right but couldn't succeed. He couldn't help but feel discouraged and couldn't get out. If he could fight back, would he have an advantage? The captain next to him immediately came up with an idea and said: "What's going on?"
So far, we can only adopt a defensive strategy, send scouts to border towns and coalition camps, and ask them to send reinforcements quickly so that we can relieve the siege!"
Han Sui nodded and said: "That makes sense. Where are the scouts? One of your teams will go to the border town and the other to the coalition camp. Be sure to invite reinforcements!"
Under the cover of Han Sui, the two teams of scouts rushed in two directions. One team was quickly shot into hedgehogs. In order to make the trick more realistic, Ji Jian ordered people to shoot several people from the other team to death. Finally,
Only three were let out.
Seeing that there were not many Zhou troops surrounding them, Han Sui rushed out three more scouts. He immediately felt confident and ordered his soldiers to shoot at them.
Ji Jian sat on a piece of grass with a relaxed expression and said to Tai Shiyong behind him: "If it hadn't been for your Majesty's order to surround but not fight, the four thousand Korean troops below would have been killed by our swords!"
Tai Shiyong nodded. Now he no longer showed any trace of gangsterism, instead he had a unique military temperament.
Not long after, three panting scouts ran to the coalition camp, and they directly found Han Chuang.
Han Sui and Han Chuang are both direct descendants of the Korean royal family, and their personal relationship is also very good. In terms of seniority, Han Chuang calls Han Sui his sixth uncle.
"Grain and grass are trapped in Sanzhe Valley?" After hearing what the scouts said, Han Chuang stood up and said, "Don't worry, I will immediately send five thousand personal guards to rescue!"
According to convention, Han Chuang should report the matter to Li Mu first and let him make the decision. However, the situation was urgent and could not be delayed. He planned to send out 5,000 troops first. If the Zhou army was too strong to rescue Han Sui, Li Mu would come next.
make a decision.
Five thousand people packed up and set off, and Han Chuang went to see Li Mu.
Li Mu was also surprised when he heard the news that the grain transport team was trapped. He wondered why Ji Jie was starting to plan for grain and grass now. This was completely different from his long-standing strategy!
"Can Vice Admiral Han be sure that it is Ji Jian's team and that there are only three thousand people?" Li Mu asked.
Han Chuang nodded and said: "Yes, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, how could the grain transport team be able to withstand it! However, they have a geographical advantage. If they are not rescued in time, they may not be able to hold on for too long!"
Li Mu frowned and said: "It's really Ji Jian's army, there's nothing to be afraid of! Vice Admiral Han will immediately lead another 10,000 people to support him. He must surround these 3,000 Zhou troops and then eat them in one bite! General Sima Shang will lead two
Thousands of people went to set up an ambush between Sanzhe Valley and Zhaocheng to be on guard against Ji Jie leading his troops to reinforce, and I will be in charge of the camp!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Han Chuang immediately ordered ten thousand people and chased away.
Five thousand people entered the valley and passed the second turn. Zhao Ling was about to block the gap when he saw another group of people coming with a larger number. He smiled and said to himself: "Come on, come on, come on, as many as I can." Take it all as ordered!"
The visitors were all wearing the standard equipment of the Korean army, so Zhao Ling had no scruples. After Han Chuang's 10,000 people came in, he ordered the soldiers to push down the stones and block the road.
Han Chuang had just ordered everyone to remove the stones from the first turn and join Han Sui's soldiers. Before the two of them could be happy, news suddenly came from the rear army that their way was blocked.
"Fell into a trap!" No matter how stupid Han Chuang was, he realized that not only could he not rescue Han Sui, but he had also been involved in it.
"Fire the arrow!" Ji Jian ordered.
"Fire the arrow!" Zhao Ling ordered.
For a moment, strong bows and crossbows were launched at the same time, and arrows fell like raindrops. The intensity of the blows that Han Sui received just now was several times stronger. Han Sui also understood that this was a reinforcement at the encirclement point, and the reinforcements were also surrounded!
The Korean army had no power to fight back and could only squat on the ground with their shields raised. Anyone who dared to show their head would be dead.
"Reporting to Sima Pioneer, Vice Admiral Han's fifteen thousand men are also trapped in the valley!" The scouts came to report.
"What?" Sima Shang was startled and thought that Han Chuang had a lot of people in his hands, so why were they surrounded? He waved his weapon and said, "Everyone, hurry up. I will bring five thousand troops in first." To explore the reality, the deputy vanguard leads the remaining 15,000 people to guard the exit of Sanzhe Valley!"
"yes!"
Sima Shang and Han Chuang suffered exactly the same fate. As soon as they rushed into Sanzhe Valley, they were cut off from their retreat. They were led by two young generals holding giant axes. The opponent had a geographical advantage and allowed him to lead his men to attack fiercely. , and failed to highlight the encirclement.
Ji Jie looked eagerly at the 15,000 Zhao troops outside the valley, hoping that they would come in and join in the fun, so that they could start making dumplings. Who knew that Sima Shang's deputy general was a cautious guy, and when he saw that he was beaten inside After a pot of porridge, he might have been surrounded if he went in rashly, so he actually ordered the army to retreat three miles, and then informed Li Mu of the situation here!
Ji Jie was so disappointed that he had no choice but to order soldiers to show up and strictly guard the exit of the valley. They also laid mines on the road as quickly as possible to blow up anyone who dared to come.
After receiving the news, Li Mu immediately led 10,000 people and the deputy vanguard to gather together to prepare to rescue his companions trapped in the valley.
"Boom boom boom..."
The attack of the leading troops was blocked, first by the mines buried on the road, and then by the sky-shattering artillery shells fired by more than a dozen light trebuchets. After several charges, they were easily blocked outside the valley entrance.
Ji Jie stood majestically at the entrance of the valley, smiling at Li Mu with a black face and said: "Marshal Li, I advise you to go back. Do you think it is possible for you to break through my defense line? I will tell you very responsibly. , if you don’t go back, I will order the Zhaocheng garrison to come out in full force, how many people are left in your camp?”
There are more than 10,000 people left, and most of them are part of the supply troops and have limited combat capabilities!
Thinking of this, Li Mu began to panic. If he lost his camp again, how would he explain it to King Zhao?
"Return to the army!" Li Mu made this decision. He undoubtedly threw Han Chuang and Sima Shang aside and never cared about them again! Whether they can get out of the valley alive or not is left to fate!
