Yanbei explored the terrain between the avenues, selected three camping places, and divided the troops into three bends to cut down trees and set up villages in the woodlands on both sides of the road, and ambushed traps between the roads to resist the enemy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

Yanbei's preparations are getting more and more complete, and he is becoming more and more clear about what Meng Yi has done.

In this era, there was a large difference in the speed of marching and traveling, and a single fast horse could travel more than 400 miles a day. However, if the march of the army is mixed with horses, even if it is a rapid march for an hour, it can only walk less than twenty miles. If the army marched regularly, it could travel thirty miles in a day.

The speed of the foot soldiers was much more than that, but the transport of baggage could greatly slow down the march.

Anshi City is more than 100 miles away from Wenxian County, if Meng Yi wants to go north, it can be reached in three days.

During this time, Meng Yi was in Wenxian County, and the scouts reported that Meng Yi had nothing to do after camping, but Yanbei estimated that he was to give those injured soldiers time to recuperate.

According to Zhang Leigong's situation that day, he defeated Meng Yi's troops, and the casualties under his command should be not small.

As Yanbei expected, Meng Yi's subordinates did suffer heavy casualties during the night battle in Wencheng. Zhang Leigong's sworn charge caused more than 2,000 casualties among his subordinates...... I don't know what made those rebels burst out with such a strong fighting force.

Maybe it's because the powerful coalition forces behind them have crushed their last chance of survival, and there is no way to escape but fight to the death.

In the chaotic battle, it is easiest to injure the soldiers, and Meng Yi has been used to let the soldiers recuperate in the past ten days. Now 1,700 of his subordinates have regained their combat effectiveness, and more than 400 have been seriously injured and are no longer able to participate in the battle. Aside from these people, more than 600 people died in the night battle that night.

It's funny to say that in war, a foot that you don't usually care about can make a sergeant who is five big and three thick lose the ability to march and fight.

In the past few days, although Yanbei had observed Meng Yi's every move with the eyes of a scout from a distance of a hundred miles, Meng Yi also knew that Yanbei's scouts were watching him. Therefore, the further back it was, the more skirmishes broke out between Yanbei's scouts and Meng Yi's subordinates.

The earliest battle was in Sanli outside Wencheng, where three people were shot dead in northern Yan, and two were killed and one wounded by Meng Yibu. When they arrived, they were once again like repeating the mistakes of the Battle of Bluestone Bridge, with the two sides fighting for miles and miles, and the battle line slowly advanced from south to north, from three or five people fighting to tithes and tithes encounters, breaking out beside the forest roads everywhere.

In just over ten days, more than 200 sergeants on both sides died on the road.

In general, Yan Bei won more and lost less, because his scouts were more elite, and these subordinates knew how to hide themselves in the dense forest. Many of Meng Yi's scouts are newly selected, although they have superb combat effectiveness and accurate archery skills, they are not as familiar and concealed as Yanbei's scouts.

Many died under the cold arrows.

But for Meng Yi, the days of such grievances have passed.

He was to lead his troops north.

The headquarters was 1,500, and there were more than 2,000 Haoqiang coalition troops led by Tian, and 4,000 troops marched north along the main road.

Meng Yi didn't choose the path that Pan Ling was stationed on at all...... There is only one Pan Ling in Yanbei, but Meng Yi has Tian Shao and other head snakes to help, so he naturally knows that he will definitely be ambushed if he takes that dangerous road. Moreover, this veteran of the battlefield knew very well that he was always under the view of the enemy's scouts, and instead of taking the valley road that was easy to ambush, it was better to go straight to the avenue all the way south.

Because Meng Yi thought that Yanbei would not ambush him in the forest.

He had 4,000 soldiers and horses, and Yanbei controlled the entire territory of Liaodong, with more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command. No matter how you look at it, if Meng Yi was Yanbei, he would not choose to ambush him in the forest with thousands of soldiers and horses. Of course, there may be a surprise attack by a few hundred people, but Meng Yi chose to deploy the few remaining horse troops in the front army in order to guard against a small sneak attack by the enemy.

Under Meng Yi's judgment, Yanbei would deploy heavy troops on the front line of the Qingshi Bridge to prevent his assault.

He misestimated Yanbei's temperament.

Yan Bei is not a veteran of the battlefield, nor is he a stable traitor in his imagination. Yanbei is a young and male Liaodong cub, who does not have so much stability and does not understand so many grand strategies.

Even the use of soldiers, they only got a little bit of the 'soldier situation', and they were still guided by frustration to borrow from Xianbei, and made a big detour to come first.

If Jiang Jin's strategic guiding ideology is 'kill everyone', then Yanbei's strategic guiding ideology is nothing more than 'use all means to kill all those who are his enemies as much as possible.' ’

It's just a little high-end.

However, Meng Yi was an enemy in Yanbei for three months, and he had never seen this bandit leader, and he had never even heard those rumors. When I was in Jizhou, there were not many people who had actually seen Yanbei. Later, when he went to Xianbei, there was no news, and Meng Yi never really regarded him as an enemy, until Yanbei descended on Liaodong, Meng Yi began to pay attention to it but found that he did not have the slightest information about this enemy.

Everything is estimated from the layout of the Battle of Qingshi Bridge, as if Yanbei is an extremely shrewd war maniac.

But that was the joint effort of the two and three sons of Fu Zhu, Gao Lan, Lu Yi, and Zhang Jaw, and it had little to do with Yan Bei's personal talent.

Yanbei has no other ability, only people.

The soldiers and horses moved greatly, marching on the dirt road in the southeast of Liaodong, and the sergeants were shouting.

The roads in eastern Liaodong are too narrow, and this problem is especially obvious in the southern part of Liaodong. If the official road in the Central Plains is for horses and chariots to go in parallel, but what about here in Liaodong? The width of the road is different, and in some places there are more people stepping on it, and the road is a little wider; If there are fewer people walking, it will be so narrow that it will be difficult for two horses to walk. And not to mention the Central Plains, even compared with Liaodong, even if the road in the suburbs of Xiangping is not wide, the soldiers and horses can always trample on the farmland, so that the soldiers can spread out.

When you go to this poor and remote southeast of Liaodong, what do you trample on? The uneven path of the three horses was bordered by a towering forest, and if the soldiers had not known that they were going from one city to another, they would have thought that there was no human movement at all.

The scouts entered the woods, and the foot soldiers could barely stuff some of them on both sides, but the cavalry and the baggage could not pass, and neither could the powerful soldiers who pushed the grain carts and drove the oxen...... When he fled all the way south, Meng Yi didn't think too much about it. At that time, they had no baggage, and the light cavalry and foot soldiers drilled when they saw the road, and they still relied on these narrow roads to avoid Zhang Leigong's pursuers, and he was full of joy at that time.

But by now, Meng Yi had cursed Liaodong for being too guarded by the soles of his feet and bleeding pus.

I don't know how to fix this broken road!

……

Just as Meng Yi imagined in his mind, his every move was firmly controlled by Yan Bei through the scout's eyes and lips.

When the soldiers and horses were on the road, the geometry of the troops, the direction they took, and the road they took, all of these were memorized by Yanbei.

When Yanbei was sure that Meng Yi had passed the last fork in the road, and that the dense old forests of Liaodong beside the road would prevent him from any possibility of changing lanes, Xiao rode a fast horse to send a request for reinforcements to Pan Ling, who was stationed on the East Dangerous Road in Anshi.

At that time, the two sides were still more than 60 miles apart.

Yanbei's 2,000 soldiers and horses were hidden in the dense forests of one to two miles on both sides of the road, divided into four groups of men and horses, and the bow and crossbow shooting boundary of each curve suppressed the distance of one mile beside the road. Han system, one mile and three hundred steps. The four curves of Yanbei are divided into left and right, wrapping the 500 steps of this winding avenue.

The ambush site selected by Yanbei has been able to become the 'avenue' of Liaodong, and the road can be used for four horses in parallel, which is a rare wide road close to the city in Liaodong. Although the narrow area is easier to ambush, it is not suitable for random battles and melees.

Moreover, Meng Yi was more anxious and cautious on the narrow road, and the ambush there was already expected for Meng Yi, and the soldiers would not panic too much. Yanbei imagined that if he traveled all the way from south to north, he would definitely take more precautions on the road, but if he went here, whether it was a general or a scout, his vision would be broad, and his heart would be suddenly relieved.

This pine is the time for Yanbei to ask for his life!

500 crossbowmen were ambushed on both sides of the forest, and more than 1,000 subordinates tied their mounts to the forest three miles away, and lay down at both ends of the road with swords, shields, axes and spears.

The trap has been laid, just waiting for Meng Yi to enter the urn!

This ambush is simple to say, but the effort of Yanbei and his subordinates far exceeds the battle itself. The fog and humidity in the forest were already very heavy, and these two thousand soldiers and horses were stuck in the forest for several days, and even Yan Bei, who was carefully guarded by the soldiers, had pimples on his body, itching unbearably, and he scratched his back and chest in many places, not to mention those ordinary soldiers who were hard-working and hard-working.

That is, Meng Yi finally attacked northward, and if he stayed a few more days, Yanbei would have to withdraw to the north.

You can't ambush the enemy and let your subordinates be reduced by the mountain fog, insects, and snakes.

In the distance, the scout who walked through the forest ran quickly, with the sound of the grass and trees moving, and with the blood Daozi that was pierced by the branches on his face, he arched his hand to Yanbei and said: "General, the Han army is here!" ”

Yan Bei, who was leaning on the pine tree, stared at him, and suddenly stood up and asked, "How far is it?" ”

"Five miles...... It's probably only three or four miles away now! ”

"Quick, send the message, wait for my department to take the lead in releasing arrows and then block it!"

"No!"

Yan Bei had a four-foot short sword in his waist and a square shield on his back, and made a few gestures to the surrounding soldiers, and then saw that the soldiers of each tun had lowered their bodies and hid among the trees, stretched out the tip of their tongues and pursed their lips, lifted the three-stone strong crossbow placed under his feet, and bent over with his crossbow arms.

The sound of arrows on the crossbow strings echoed through the woods, and after a moment there was a palpitating silence, only the sound of the deliberately suppressed breathing of the soldiers beside him came slowly.

Gradually, more than a dozen steps on both sides of the road appeared enemy scouts moving and jumping...... The scouts didn't even bother to look deeper into the forest, where the trees were overgrown and covered in a patch of yellow and green.

It's not a place for people at all, there can't be anyone!

Meng Yi's brigade followed, and the field of vision in front of them suddenly widened, and people's hearts relaxed, and even some people laughed at each other during the march Meng Yi did not stop it...... Little did he know that in the denser woods, there were long, narrow eyes staring at him.

It's like a falcon circling the sky looking down at its prey!
