Chapter 1131: Ambush
Yuan Xi summoned Badun and Kebineng over and informed Liu Zheng of the breakthrough.
Raton and Kobineng were equally overjoyed.
After the two of them had a previous battle with Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses under the city of Xindu, they had great doubts about the ability of their own personnel to attack the city.
If they were to be asked for siege warfare, they would definitely refuse.
But now I heard that Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses chose to break through.
There is no need to fight Liu Zheng's men and horses under the city, then they will naturally be happy to accept this.
Siege warfare may be a loss for them, but in the field for encounters.
Then they don't lose to Liu Zheng at all.
This is a prediction based on the strength of their current forces.
Even if their individual strength is weaker than Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, the number of soldiers and horses in their hands is far better than Liu Zheng's.
Once the encounter in the field was carried out, Kebi Nengdun and the others relied on their cavalry to be absolutely sure that they could defeat Liu Zheng's army.
Therefore, when Yuan Xi told them the news that Liu Zheng had broken through from Xindu City, they were all extremely excited, and immediately began to gather troops and horses to prepare to pursue Liu Zheng's army.
After yesterday's rest, their men and horses are almost recovered.
But after all, there are still some people in the city, even if it is to pursue Liu Zheng, it is naturally impossible to lead too many men and horses, at most half of the men will be divided.
After recruiting some soldiers and horses, Kebi Neng dispatched 40,000 cavalry, while Yuan Xi and Bun Dun were because they had lost too many soldiers and horses before, and the number of cavalry under them was not much, so in the end they could only make up 10,000 people to cooperate with Kebineng's men and horses to pursue Liu Zheng.
This time it's still a bland, personally leading the team.
Because he was not familiar with the terrain of the Han Dynasty, Kebineng was led by Bunton, and Kebineng sent his lieutenant general to cooperate with him.
The army was quickly assembled, more than an hour after Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses left the city of Xindu.
He started slowly and leisurely with his people, and pursued in the direction where Liu Zheng's army left.
Outside the city of Shinto.
Dozens of miles.
In a wood.
The road from Xindu City to Yecheng is not far, and there are few steep peaks and valleys. If you want to set up an ambush on the way, deal with the cavalry of Bunton and Kebinen.
It's not easy to find a suitable canyon, and besides, I suffered a loss from the last time. Once they encounter the canyon, they will inevitably send soldiers and horses to investigate the situation in advance, and it will be difficult to let them fall for the trick.
So after thinking about it, Liu Zheng discussed with Guo Jia to give up setting up an ambush at the mouth of the canyon and instead look for a dense forest.
Plans to use the jungle to hide the soldiers.
Although the dense forest is not as easy to ambush as the canyon, the dense forest also has the advantage of the dense forest, and he knows that once the Mudun and Kebi can pursue, they must send cavalry, and with the existence of the dense forest, the cavalry is not easy to charge.
It can greatly limit the role of cavalry.
And once the enemy's cavalry loses its effect, the infantry in the forest will occupy the initiative, and encircling and destroying the enemy's cavalry can also play a more effective role, which is why Liu Zheng dared to set up an ambush here to attract Tun to pursue even with only 40,000 foot soldiers.
In the nameless woodland, after Liu Zheng led the army here, he immediately let them scatter and hide around this woodland.
Of course, there were actually only 30,000 soldiers and horses ambushed in this territory, and the other 10,000 were Xu Huang's cavalry, which could not be stationed here, and Liu Zheng let them bypass this woodland and go to other places early in the morning.
As for where and what to do, no one knows yet.
"Your Majesty, our men have already laid an ambush here, now we just need to wait for the enemy army to come and take the plunge."
Guo Jia arranged an army of 30,000 in an orderly manner to ambush all over the dense forest.
At this time, all 30,000 troops had been arranged, and it was difficult to find that there were 30,000 soldiers and horses hidden in this forest from the outside.
Although 30,000 people are too much, this forest may not be able to hide, but 30,000 horses still have to have a front and a back. Guo Jia deliberately left thousands of people wandering back and forth on the outskirts of the forest, once the news came from the spies in the rear.
They would immediately begin to flee into the woods, attracting the pursuing cavalry into the woods.
"Ambushed? So fast? ”
After Liu Zheng heard Guo Jia's answer, he was still quite surprised, it had only been a long time, and the army had been hidden so quickly, which was a bit unexpected by Liu Zheng.
But in this way, the sooner the better, because Guo Jia himself didn't know when and from where those enemy troops would chase after them.
Only by ambushing the soldiers and horses in the fastest time can we make a perfect plan and ambush when the enemy pursues them.
"The non-commissioned officers of our army are all prohibited, and they are very cooperative, so the arrangement will be faster."
Guo Jia briefly described it to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng nodded, didn't say anything, he was leading people at the moment, on the periphery of the woodland, separated by a small slope, he stood on the small slope, with the help of the towering terrain, he could see the situation in the distance.
Just as he was looking around, his eyes fell on the cavalry running in the distance.
This is the spy of the Jinyi Guard, who is rapidly approaching this forest, judging from the speed of this Jinyi Guard's spy, something must have happened.
"Someone is coming, Fengxiao, let him come to see me."
Guo Jia also saw the spy not far away at this time, and immediately understood, immediately nodded yes, and went down to contact the spy of the Jinyi guard.
As the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, the spy soon came to Liu Zheng's side.
As soon as he saw Liu Zheng, he immediately reported to Liu Zheng the situation outside the Xindu City.
"Report, Your Majesty, there is an emergency military situation, and the Karasuma people and Xianbei people outside the city have taken action."
Yuan Xi's people have always been paying attention to Liu Zheng's dynamics, and Liu Zheng is not paying attention to Yuan Xi's dynamics.
The soldiers and horses of Badun and Kebineng had just assembled, and the news had already been transmitted to Liu Zheng by Jinyiwei's men.
Now, it is even more clear how many soldiers and horses can be brought by Badun and Kebi to pursue.
"They're coming? How many centaurs are there, and how far are we from now? ”
"Bunton led 30,000 soldiers and horses as a vanguard, and he is five miles away from us, and it is estimated that there is still a cup of tea to reach here."
Jinyiwei's spies still quickly found out the situation on the side of Dun and Kebineng.
These people, since they came from a large army chasing Liu Zheng, must also know in what direction Liu Zheng left.
So there's no need to leave anything for Badun, just wait here.
