It was not only Zang Ba, Yin Li, and the Taishan bandits who were frightened by Wang Yu and his cavalry. Even Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Sheng, who were accompanying the army for the first time, were also shocked.
Restore calm.// Welcome to reading//[This article comes from]
During yesterday's discussion, although no one could figure out the full extent of the local plan, some important points were clear, including the possible locations where the Taishan bandits might ambush.
Fulong Valley is located between Yangdu and Kaiyang. After passing Kaiyang, the terrain becomes flat. Leading thousands of bandits to ambush 500 Qingqi on the plain? No matter how idiot you are, you would not do this.
Plan. Therefore, no matter what the Taishan bandits have in mind, they cannot take action after the Qingzhou Army passes through Kaiyang.
On this most dangerous journey, there are seven valleys, large and small, that can accommodate hundreds of cavalry. There are only two valleys that do not need to be detoured, and Fulong Valley is the largest of them.
Because the Qingzhou Army has been advancing along the river, and there are supply ships accompanying it on the water, the best place for an ambush is in the river valley. Only in such terrain can the ambush be successful in one fell swoop, and no fish will slip through the net.
Since the possibility of an ambush in Fulong Valley is extremely high, even if they want to pass through, they should adopt a more cautious approach, but Wang Yu just ran like this and rushed into the valley with great strides.
How could the three young men not be surprised?
Of course, what also shocked them was the war song suddenly sung by the cavalry as they advanced furiously.
Frankly speaking, this war hymn is one of the most inferior among the poems and poems written by Wang Yu that have been circulated abroad. The wording is not very particular, the meaning of the words is also very simple, and there is no aftertaste. However, there is a saying in the Book of Shang: Poetry expresses ambition.
Literary genres such as chants, poems and poems are originally used to express emotions.
As a military song, if the words are too particular and too unfamiliar, it will be very hard just to memorize the lyrics when singing, and there will be no momentum. On the contrary, the effect is best like this. Hundreds of people sing in unison, and the momentum is already there.
If the essence is average, what if there are thousands or tens of thousands of people?
Thinking of the scene of thousands of cavalry charging with the sound of wind and thunder beating by iron hoofs, singing loudly, even Zhuge Liang's calmness could not help but shudder. What a terrifying scene it was!
Zhuge Liang wanted to give a few warnings, but this was his first time riding a horse. Just stabilizing his body on the horse was already very difficult. If there were not people on the left and right sides to protect him, he didn't know how many times he would have fallen off the horse.
Can you still speak?
When the strong wind and fatal bumps finally stopped, Zhuge Liang realized that he didn't need to say anything because everything was clear.
The team had already rushed into the river valley. At the back of the middle section of the valley, a group of bandits were using their hands and feet to carry the horses one after another and were busy arranging the horses along the road in the valley. It looked very hasty.
Zhuge Liang is so smart. Looking at these stupid thieves and the surrounding terrain, he suddenly realized what he was doing.
This river valley is too wide. And there is a river as a shield. The ambush soldiers and horses can only attack from one side. However, the valley is still very wide. When the wind blows, even if you are standing high, it is difficult for bows and arrows to cause much damage.
The bandits may have made up their minds and were preparing to launch a surprise attack when the Qingzhou Army passed by. However, after seeing the momentum of the Qingzhou Cavalry, they were shocked to realize that their opponents could not speculate based on common sense. If they continued with the original plan, they would probably not be able to stop them at all.
The Qingzhou Army couldn't hold back and was rushed over in one go.
There was no way to stop now. From the first test and harassment, the two sides entered a state of hostility. Zhang Jia's tribe in Ju County and Xu Huang's tribe in Fei County launched attacks almost simultaneously.
Since the Taishan bandits have assembled their entire army, they are advancing and unable to stop them in this battle. That is to say, they will be in vain. When the Qingzhou Army from Dong'an follows the cavalry and kills them, they will be made dumplings.
.
Chang Xi really didn't care about the life or death of his minions, but that was only after he defeated Wang Yu. Otherwise, he would be just an inconspicuous lost dog. Who would care about him? As a last resort, he could only launch an ambush in advance.
A strong attack, using all means.
"All the heroes of Mount Tai are here. Wang Yu, please surrender if you don't get off your horse!"
"You are surrounded. If you put down your weapons and surrender early, you can still survive. If you want to resist stubbornly, you will only die!"
"If your grandfather's sword sees blood, you won't be able to hold it back!"
"Kill, kill!"
The valley, which had been quiet not long ago, suddenly boiled up. There were shouts of killing everywhere, and there were bandits waving swords and guns all over the mountains and shouting. The momentum created by the large number of people made up for the unpreparedness.
, the bandits behind the horse formation let out a long sigh of relief.
In the view of the bandits, although their side launched a bit hastily, this advantage is enough. The scouts who climbed high and looked into the distance found no signs of other armies approaching. Only a supply fleet floated slowly and approached.
There's nothing to worry about.
More than 5,000 people versus 500 cavalry who have lost their speed. Is there any reason why they can't win?
Under normal circumstances, the enemy should have been panicked. If they were attacked in a hurry, they would turn their horses and run away. Then, in despair, they would see another ambush at the mouth of the valley at the north gate. They would block it with their horses.
Their way back. Then, the morale of the besieged will collapse and they will become lambs for the slaughter.
Over the years, bandits have used this method to deal with officers and soldiers. The rolling mountains of Langya are their best battlefield.
However, to their surprise and disappointment, the enemy showed no sign of wavering. They dismounted in an orderly manner, took something out of the bag, draped it on the horse, then took off the bow from behind, and adjusted it on his own.
The bow string was raised...
"Bastard..." Wu Dun's original intention was to curse, but when the words came to his mouth, he became weak: "Little Wang Yu, little Wang Yu... Are you looking down on your grandfathers?"
"He didn't see your virtue, otherwise he would have even more reason to look down on you." Sun Guan pulled out the sword with one arm, glanced at Wu Dun coldly, and then said to Chang Xi: "Brother Chang
, give the order, if we don’t attack for a while and extinguish their arrogance, the morale of the brothers may not be able to hold on."
"No." Chang Xi was trembling all over, both angry and frightened.
The plan was obviously perfect, but the enemy just didn't follow the routine, which was embarrassing. He knew that Sun Guan was right, but if he followed what Sun Guan said, once the attack was frustrated, the plan would be completely in vain.
ah.
"Blow the drum! Blow the trumpet!" Chang Xi gritted his teeth and roared.
Sun Guan said anxiously: "This won't work! If there's thunder but no rain, even if I move to another place, I will still feel there is a problem. How could a smart person like Wang Pengju..."
"You know all the plans, of course you feel guilty. Wang Yu is not a god, how could he know?" Chang Xi became angry and shouted: "The plan has been carried out to this extent, how can you give up halfway? At least you have to take a look.
, we can make the final decision only if it works or not!”
"But……"
"There is no but!" Chang Xi pressed the handle of the knife with his hands, his eyes were blood red: "Now I am the boss, anyone who disobeys... will die!"
Although he suppressed the objections with force, Chang Xi did not get rid of the shadow of despair. The Qingzhou cavalry completed the deployment and continued to advance on foot.
Ignore the shouting and shouting traitors and generals all over the mountains and plains;
Ignore the jungle of swords and axes, which is denser than the vegetation in the mountains;
Ignore the overwhelming drums and shouts of death...
go ahead!
"Are these people crazy?" Chang Xi groaned desperately. At this moment, he finally understood Zang Ba's mood. The Qingzhou Army can indeed fight one against ten. This momentum alone is enough to deal with five thousand thieves.
.
How can anyone be so calm as if nothing is wrong when surrounded by ten times more enemies? This fighting spirit is simply unbelievable. Chang Xi doubted that if the enemy were to just walk in front of Juma, he would be in Juma's formation.
Will the guards disperse in a hurry?
The order for a full-scale attack was on his lips, but he couldn't shout it out no matter what. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, raising and lowering his hands like ants on a hot pot.
Sun Guan watched with cold eyes, wondering whether Wang Yu walked so slowly on purpose in order to torture Chang Xi to death.
What finally rescued Chang Xi was a rapid blast of horns coming from the south of the river valley.
The moment he heard the horn sound, Chang Xi almost collapsed to the ground. He had experienced hundreds of battles in his life, but this was the first time that he was beaten without even a fight, and he still had the upper hand.
He was so forced that he almost peed his pants. If he could turn back time, he would definitely reconsider whether to go against Wang Yu.
Of course there was nothing to think about now. Chang Xi resisted the dizziness of exhaustion and ordered the flag bearer and trumpeter to give orders.
Soon, following the sound of the horn, a new noise came from the mouth of the valley in the south.
There were shouts of killing, the clash of gold and iron, screams, and the sound of drums and horns. From the analysis of the sounds alone, a very fierce battle should be going on there.
The fierce battle quickly decided the winner. A group of bandits fled into the valley and ran into their own horse-rejecting formation. The minions in the horse-rejecting formation were immediately dispersed by their own people and ran in a mess.
A bunch.
Behind the fleeing bandits, a group of infantrymen under the banner of Xuzhou were so powerful that they killed the bandits to pieces, especially the leading general. He wielded a big sword in his hand and was invincible.
, quickly cut a bloody path from the horse-rejecting formation, and drove Wang Yu's general flag away.
"Across the way is General Hussar? The last general, Zhang Kai, is here on the orders of my lord. He is late and deserves death... Here is a handwritten letter from my lord, please take a look at it, general!"
The Qingzhou Army's position was divided, and Zhang Kai and dozens of his personal guards were allowed in. The Xuzhou Army behind was still entangled with the minions in the Juma Formation, and could not resolve the battle.
At this moment, the lagging Qingzhou supply fleet also slowly sailed into the river valley, but no one noticed them anymore. Because after Zhang Kai entered, within a moment, the silver-red flag suddenly fell over
