Gongsun Han's face was gloomy, and his eyes looked coldly at the Youzhou military camp under the city, and he was extremely angry in his heart. He was almost certain that the Youzhou Army had bypassed Yiwu Lu Mountain and fled, otherwise, Tianshi Gorge would have been in flames long ago.

Thinking that he had worked hard for more than half a month and ran hundreds of miles, but he had fallen short, Gongsun Han's heart was full of disappointment, frustration, pain, and anger.

"Eldest Prince......" Gongsun Xiu shouted in a low voice, "Eldest Prince, I heard that the road will take more than two hundred and fifty miles, and it is estimated that it will take at least two days for the Youzhou Army to reach Baishi Mountain. ”

Gongsun Han turned his head to look at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Eldest prince, we can take the trail and rush to Baishi Mountain first, occupy the favorable terrain, wait for work, and hit the Youzhou army hard. The Youzhou army must be exhausted after walking the mountain road for two days in a row, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and we can completely annihilate them. Gongsun Xiu waved his fist and said in disbelief.

"Are you familiar with the path from Tianshi Ridge to Baishi Mountain?" Gongsun Han asked.

Several people shook their heads at the same time, and Gongsun Ye said: "That road is too difficult to walk, who will go except those untouchables?" A few of us had just heard about it and hadn't walked through it ourselves, so ......"

"Eldest Prince, do you mean to let us catch up?" Gongsun Ye asked cautiously.

Gongsun Han shook his head and said with some annoyance, "I just want to know why I neglected that path?" None of you are familiar with it, and neither am I, and it is likely that this is the reason for my negligence, and I take it for granted that the enemy is not familiar with it either. A small negligence actually led to more than half a month of hard work in vain, alas......"

"Eldest Prince, what now?" Gongsun Kai asked.

"Take the people out of the city and transport all the baggage discarded by the enemy back to Fuli City." Gongsun Han thought for a moment and immediately said, "As soon as the scout has news, tell me immediately." ”

Gongsun Zhang's house was filled with a strong smell of herbs.

Gongsun Han lowered his head. Pacing back and forth in the house.

Gongsun Zhang sighed quietly and said, "This is indeed an oversight, we are too careless. ”

Gongsun Han slowly walked in front of Gongsun Zhang and stopped, and said with a resolute expression: "Third brother, I plan to rush to Baishi Mountain with a large army. ”

Gongsun Zhang groaned a few times, closed his eyes in pain, and said slowly: "If we want to negotiate the conditions of surrender with Li Yi, we must defeat the 10,000 horses with Zhang Jaw and make Li Yi helpless. ”

Then he opened his eyes, looked at Gongsun Han, and continued. "The terrain of Mount Shiraishi is not conducive to ambushes. If we engage them face to face, the losses will be too great. I think it's better to move the battlefield forward, ambush them as much as possible, and strive for total annihilation. ”

Gongsun Han's expression moved, and he suddenly smiled.

………………

Zhang Fei, Zhang Jaw and others led the army, and it took two days to finally arrive at Baishi Mountain.

What is surprising is that there is not even a single figure in the ten miles or so near Baishi Mountain, let alone any rebels.

After receiving the scout's report. Very confused. Did the rebels give up the pursuit? He didn't feel like the rebels had no reason to give up chasing him.

So why did the rebels give up the opportunity to stop themselves at White Rock Mountain? He led the army on the mountain road for two days in a row, and he was exhausted, if he gave the rebels a head-on blow. The losses must have been heavy.

Zhang Fei and a group of generals were also puzzled. Why did the rebels give up a great opportunity to attack at White Rock Mountain? What are the rebels trying to do? Give up, or do you have another trick?

Although everyone was worried, because they were out of danger for the time being, the fear and tension that had been in place for several days were thrown out of the clouds. One by one, they were in a relaxed mood, as if they were relieved.

Now even if the rebels are chasing after them, they are not afraid, and their 10,000 army is more than enough to block 70,000 rebels. In the absence of any worries. Maybe they can also inflict heavy losses on the rebels. Now, the army's grain and grass can support two days, and the journey is still two hundred miles, and it is not surprising that the army can safely return to Changli City in two days.

The army rested a little at Baishi Mountain, then threw off its stride and quickly advanced in the direction of Changli City.

In the evening, the army rushed to Sunjiayu, seventy miles west of Baishi Mountain.

After three days of high-intensity marching, the soldiers were extremely tired. Quite a few soldiers have been left behind. Zhang Jaw still wanted to leave, but was persuaded by Zhang Fei, Han Dang and Xun Di. If they go any further, the soldiers will have no physical strength, and if they are caught up by the rebels, they will not even have the strength to hold weapons.

The army was then stationed at Sunjiayu.

Sunjiayu is a mountain basin at the southern foot of Yiwulu Mountain, the area is not small, the radius is full of twenty miles, but the terrain in Sunjiayu is not too flat, but a small mountainous area, the mountain is gentle, the woods are dense, there is no dangerous terrain.

Although it was said to be camped, because all the baggage was discarded under the city of Fuli, the soldiers did not bring anything except weapons and food, so everyone camped in the open air and lay down in clothes. As a result of the continuous long march, the soldiers were physically and mentally exhausted and soon fell asleep.

………………

Xun Di's army camped on the north side of Sunjiayu.

In the middle of the night, Xun Di hadn't slept yet, chatting with a few soldiers on night duty. As one of the last generals to join the Youzhou Army, Xun Di felt that he had to pay more than other generals in order to be recognized by everyone.

"General, what sound does it seem to be?" A soldier sitting on the ground suddenly stood up, pointed to the mountain in the distance, and said, "There are bursts of voices, like wolves." ”

"Everyone marches during the day and has to work in shifts at night, it's too hard." Xun Di pointed at the soldier and smiled, "You are probably too nervous, there is something wrong with your ears, and you take the sound of the wind as the footsteps of wolves." ”

The soldier smiled embarrassedly and said, "General, I used to hunt, and the sound of the wind blowing leaves is very different from the sound of animals moving, and I can hear it. There are definitely wolves there. ”

Xun Di was happy and laughed softly with a few soldiers.

"Niu Sanwa, in the middle of the night, don't scare people."

"If you're afraid, throw some branches into the fire and make it bigger."

"Niu Sanwa, don't be suspicious, if you can't support it, just run back and forth here a few times."

……

Everyone talked nonsense. The soldier named Niu Sanwa ignored everyone's ridicule and listened intently to the movement in the distance.

"General, the voices are getting louder and louder, it seems to be a large group." Niu Sanwa looked at Xun Di and said solemnly, "How can there be such a big wolf pack around here, it won't be the enemy who will come to raid." ”

Speaking of this, the smile on Niu Sanwa's face suddenly froze.

"Our mobile posts have been deployed ten miles away, and if it were the enemy, it would have been discovered by these mobile posts a long time ago." One soldier laughed, "You're too nervous. ”

Niu Sanwa said unconvinced: "How many people are there at the mobile post? If the enemy is determined to attack, in order to hide their tracks, of course, they will send someone to kill them first. ”

Xun Di looked up at the dark mountains around him, and a chill suddenly swept through his body like lightning.

Xun Di shivered all over, and felt the hairs on the back of his head stand up.

"Niu Sanwa, did you hear it right?" Xun Di asked loudly.

Niu Sanwa shook her head and said in a low voice: "Absolutely, it's the sound of animals moving, and it's a lot of animals." Such a large flock, if it is either wolves, sheep, or ......"

"It's the enemy." Xun Di roared, "It's the enemy." ”

"Drumming...... "Drum ......" Xun Di didn't even want to think about it, screamed wildly, "Drum ......"

The sound of war drums was monotonous and rapid at first, then more and more and louder, and in the blink of an eye, the war drums of war were beating violently throughout the camp.

The sound of the drums was like thunder, and in an instant it resounded through the night and shook the entire mountain forest.

The soldiers of the Youzhou Army suddenly woke up, and one by one they jumped up from the ground nervously, dizzy, shouting and shouting, and picked up their weapons. The camp suddenly boiled like a frying pan. All the fires that were still burning in the camp were extinguished.

Xun Di looked at the mountains and forests in the distance, and said with a smile to Niu Sanwa and the soldiers around him: "Gongsun Han and Gongsun Zhang of the rebels are indeed powerful, and they actually pulled the army to Sunjiayu to ambush them. ”

A soldier timidly glanced timidly at the noisy camp and whispered, "General, what should we do if we make a mistake?" Niu Sanwa may not have heard it right, perhaps, it is a group of wolves. ”

Xun Di smiled proudly and said loudly: "What should I do? Everyone just continue to sleep, who else dares to settle accounts with me? ”

Niu Sanwa said unhappily: "Why don't you believe me? I'm a well-known hunter in Upper Valley County, and my ......"

Before he finished his words, a thunderous war drum suddenly erupted in the east of Sunjiayu, followed by a loud bang, and the shouts of killing suddenly set off.

"Okay, there's a fight in the east." Xun Di shouted, "Drum ......"

"Array...... Dense array ......"

"Arrows...... Archers ...... arrows"

……

………………

On the camp of the Chinese army, Zhang Jaw is putting on armor with the help of his personal guards. He looked calm, unhurried, and gave orders in an orderly manner.

"Order Han Dang to immediately organize men and horses, tear apart the enemy's formation, and open a passage for the army to break through."

"Order Xun Di to quickly move closer to the Chinese army, and not to be divided and surrounded by the enemy."

"Zhang Fei, who ordered the rear army, to hold his position and not take a step back."

The rebels chose this ambush position to surprise everyone. Zhang Jaw admired it very much, and after thinking about it carefully, ambushing himself in this place is indeed much more ideal than Baishi Mountain.

First of all, the troops marched rapidly for three days in a row, and the soldiers were exhausted, their physical strength was exhausted to the limit, and the difference in combat effectiveness was obvious.

Secondly, there is ideological paralysis. Everyone thought that the enemy would appear near Baishi Mountain, and they were all on alert, always on guard against the enemy's attack, but as a result, there was a false alarm, and the rebels did not appear. Later, although everyone was nervous, everyone was lucky, thinking that the enemy might have given up the pursuit, and the tense nerves unconsciously relaxed. Once you relax, it's hard to keep your vigilance that high.

The rebels chose a very good time to attack. (To be continued.) )
