Chapter six hundred and ninety seventh: plan again
Several important figures who were the defenders of Langling City made their decision, and the plan to counter the ambush was decided. Cheng Pu and Zu Mao led their troops out of the city to ambush the enemy! And according to Kuai Yue's speculation, the vanguard of the Western Qin Dynasty this time
The number of troops should not exceed 5,000 men. From this point of view, Cheng Pu and Zu Mao must bring at least 3,000 men with them for this attack. If the number of troops is smaller, not only will they not be effective, but they may be attacked.
Enemy counterattack.
When the counter-ambush plan was discussed, it was already broad daylight, and Cheng Pu and Zu Mao also went down to prepare. Three thousand elite soldiers were drawn from the five thousand Sun Wu soldiers in the city and allowed them to have a good rest.
The remaining 2,000 troops were well arranged in the city. They were prepared for most of the night. Seeing that it was getting dark, Cheng Pu and Zu Mao immediately took the 3,000 troops and horses who were recharged and quietly left.
He slipped out in the south direction of the city.
However, even after leaving the city, Cheng Pu and Zu Mao could not simply rush north. In order not to alert the enemy, Cheng Pu and Zu Mao led their soldiers and horses around a boss according to their previous plan.
circle, and finally arrived at the valley where the target was located.
Under the darkness of night, the valley stood alone on the plain. Cheng Pu could vaguely see the shadows of people moving on the top of the valley. Cheng Pu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zu Mao: "Da Rong! Let's catch up.
Come on! You lead a group of troops and wait from here, and I will lead another group of troops to go around to the other side. Just wait for the signal, and then you and I will fight together! We must wipe out all these Western Qin troops!"
"No problem! Don't worry!" Zu Mao patted his chest. For him who has experienced hundreds of battles, this matter is a piece of cake! Cheng Pu also trusts his old comrades who have cooperated for decades.
, patted Zu Mao on the shoulder, and directly led a team of people to go around from the other side.
In order not to be discovered by enemy spies, Cheng Pu deliberately chose a relatively long road. After more than an hour, Cheng Pu finally arrived at the predetermined place. He made sure that the enemies in the valley had not discovered his whereabouts.
Cheng Pu nodded, then turned to the soldiers behind him and shouted: "Send the signal! Let's charge!"
After hearing Cheng Pu's order, a Sun Wu soldier immediately took off the bow and arrow on his back. The arrow was a specially made sounding arrow. Once it was shot, it would make a sharp whistling sound.
In addition, the sergeant also tied a piece of coarse cloth to the arrow and lit it with fire, so that it would be more eye-catching when it was shot in the air.
"Wha—!" As the resounding arrow shot into the air, Cheng Pu also directly raised his steel gun, commanding the Sun Wu soldiers behind him to rush towards the valley. At the same time, there was also a sound from the other side of the valley.
With the same cry of killing, it was Zu Mao who also came to kill with his army!
As Sun Wu's army rushed to the top of the mountain on both sides of the valley, Cheng Pu's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran directly up his back. Because from the beginning, Cheng Pu didn't see even a shadow of the enemy! Although
He hasn't figured out what's going on yet, but Cheng Pu already has an ominous premonition in his heart. It seems that their actions this time will not have a good result!
Sure enough, they reached the top of the valley in one breath, but still didn't see a single figure. He raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain opposite. Zu Mao also rushed up with his soldiers and horses. Judging from their appearance, I'm afraid they were just like him.
Zu Mao shouted to Cheng Pu with confusion on his face: "De Mou! What's going on? Why is there no one there?"
"Huh?" Cheng Pu couldn't answer Zu Mao's question. He could only frown and look around, but he didn't see anything unusual.
At this time, a shout suddenly came from Cheng Pu's side, but a Sun Wu soldier failed to stand firm and fell to the ground. The Sun Wu soldier probably felt a little embarrassed, and immediately wanted to
He got up by himself, but before he could stand up, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground again. Now the soldier was so embarrassed that the comrades around him laughed.
He could only blush with embarrassment and stood up cautiously, still cursing: "Damn it! It hasn't rained in the past few days. Why is it so slippery here!"
Originally, this little soldier's wrestling incident would not have attracted Cheng Pu's attention at all, but the soldier's words struck Cheng Pu's ears like a big hammer, slamming into Cheng Pu's heart.
The impact made Cheng Pu's body tremble. Cheng Pu subconsciously looked up at the ground. Before, because Cheng Pu rushed up on a war horse, he didn't pay much attention to the situation under his feet. Now when he lowered his head and looked at it, he realized that under the moonlight,
Under the illumination of the sun, the ground under my feet was full of puddles, and those puddles reflected the moonlight, giving off a strange light.
Cheng Pu got off his horse and squatted on the ground. He reached out and fished out a small puddle, picked up a small amount of black water stains, rubbed it with his fingers, and put it under his nose to smell it.
, Cheng Pu's face immediately turned pale! Because he had already smelled that the water stains were not ordinary water at all, but terrifying kerosene!
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" Cheng Pu immediately stood up and shouted loudly to the Sun Wu soldiers on his left and right. He shouted two sentences in a row. Cheng Pu thought of Zu Mao on the opposite hill and hurriedly moved toward him.
The other side shouted: "Da Rong! Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly! We have fallen into a trap!"
"Wha—!" Just as Cheng Pu's words fell, a sound broke through the air. Cheng Pu watched as a bright light suddenly flew out from the valley under his feet, and then moved towards it at an extremely fast speed.
It was clearly a ignited rocket that was fired from my side! Looking at the rocket heading towards me, after all, Cheng Pu, who had never been afraid after fighting on the battlefield for many years, actually had such an expression of fear on his face, because
The target of that rocket was surprisingly right under his feet!
The speed of the rocket was so fast that Cheng Pu had no time to stop it. He could only watch the rocket fall into the small puddle at his feet. As soon as the flames on the rocket touched the kerosene in the puddle, he was instantly
A raging fire was lit, illuminating the surrounding area! Then, countless fires lit up from the valley, and countless rockets were flying from the valley towards the mountains on both sides. The rockets were flying in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, the hills on both sides were ignited. There were three thousand Sun Wu soldiers on both sides of the hills, and they were immediately plunged into a sea of fire!
The war horse beside Cheng Pu was frightened when he saw the sudden fire, and suddenly bumped to the side, but he was impartial and hit Cheng Pu next to him. Cheng Pu
He was not on guard for a moment, but he was pushed down the valley by the war horse!
Fortunately, the terrain of the mountain was not too steep. After Cheng Pu fell down, he kept rolling along the mountain. Although he was injured several times, he landed at the bottom of the valley unharmed. He was lucky.
However, this luck could only end here. Before Cheng Pu could get up from the ground, he heard a cold snort coming from the side. Cheng Pu was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat and turned around hurriedly.
I looked over and saw a group of five or six hundred soldiers parked nearby. The leader, who was about thirty or forty years old, was wearing heavy armor and holding a hooked sickle. He was looking at me coldly.
Just by looking at the atmosphere, Cheng Pu knew that the other party was an enemy rather than a friend!
However, it is not in line with Cheng Pu's character to sit still and wait for death. When he saw an enemy, Cheng Pu immediately got up from the ground. Although his steel gun had been lost when he fell down earlier, Cheng Pu quickly pulled it out from his waist.
He held his sword in his hand, looked at each other warily, and shouted: "You, who are you?"
"I am Zhang Liao, the pioneer general of the Western Qin Dynasty!" With a swing of the hooked sickle in his hand, Zhang Liao shouted in a cold voice: "Wait for Wu Gou! This time I fell into the trap too! I swear to kill all the descendants of the Sun family! If you know the current affairs, hurry up and
Kill yourself quickly, lest you fall into my hands and suffer!" Zhang Liao had no intention of surrendering to the other side. With his hatred for Sun Ce, Zhang Liao had no intention of letting these Sun Wu generals live!
"Zhang Liao!" Hearing Zhang Liao announce his name, Cheng Pu couldn't help but tremble. Although Cheng Pu had never fought against Zhang Liao before, Cheng Pu had seen other top players from Western Qin with his own eyes outside Hangu Pass.
With the skills of masters, Zhang Liao can stand shoulder to shoulder with Dian Wei, Xu Chu and the others, but his skills are definitely beyond his ability! But even so, if Cheng Pu is asked to commit suicide, how can Cheng Pu agree? Cheng Pu opened his eyes angrily, and with one stride he walked towards
He rushed over with Zhang Liao, and stabbed Zhang Liao directly with the sword in his hand, still shouting: "You want me to surrender? Dream on! Look at the sword!"
Facing the charging Cheng Pu, Zhang Liao had a trace of disdain in his eyes, but moreover, there was deep hatred! He held the hook sickle upside down in one hand, but he didn't even make a defensive posture. Even in his prime state
Cheng Pu was far from Zhang Liao's opponent, let alone the Cheng Pu who was injured all over his body. Zhang Liao allowed the opponent to rush in front of him. Seeing that the sharp sword was about to hit his face,
Zhang Liao's eyes shot out a ray of light, and with a sharp turn of his wrist, the hooked sickle immediately struck Cheng Pu's chest from bottom to top!
Although he was the last one to attack, he was able to hit the enemy first! Faced with Zhang Liao's sword, Cheng Pu had no way to avoid it. Zhang Liao's sword made a deep gash and blood spurted out.
When he came out, it was all over Zhang Liao's face! And Cheng Pu was knocked upside down and hit the rock hard. He vomited a mouthful of blood again, his face was full of unwillingness, and he glanced at Zhang Liao resentfully.
, and finally his head tilted, and he lay motionless on the ground.
