Li Yi is naturally convinced of the wisdom of his military advisors, and the three people with a resourceful plan of up to 99 plus one 95 are definitely a last resort.

In this regard, Li Yi quickly responded.

Li Yi's response was very simple, that is, to send troops to ambush on the road that the Taishan thieves must pass. Li Yi was ordered to carry out this task by the 17th Army of the Gengzi Regiment of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the 1st Division of the 27th Army of the Chariot Army, and the 1,000 strong bow sniper troops, with a total of 11,000 men and horses.

The generals responsible for carrying out this task were the three generals Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Yu Ban, who had just joined the army and were completely unknown to the outside world. Wei Yan was in charge of commanding the 17th Army of the Gengzi Army, Yu Ban was in charge of commanding the chariot troops, and Huang Zhong was still in command of the 1,000-strong bow sniper iron cavalry this time.

Liangfu Mountain, also known as Yingfo Mountain, Yingfu Mountain, is located between Liangfu County and Mu County. "Historical Records: Feng Zen Book": "The ancients, Feng Taishan Zen Liang father, seventy-two families. "Da Dai Li Bao Fu": "To seal Mount Tai and Zen Liang's father, to the princes and one day." "In the twenty-eighth year of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor sealed Mount Tai in the east, and then descended to Zen Liang's father. In the first year of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended Mount Tai, and the father of the Liang Ancestral Hall. In the 32nd year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty reinstated Mount Tai, the eloquent generation of emperors, led the army, mighty, ambitious to Mount Tai, sealed Mount Tai, and descended to the father of Zen Liang. Therefore, "since the Qin and Han dynasties, those who talk about sealing Zen are all called Mount Tai and Liang's father." ”

Its mountain is wandering by the side, overlooking Chaiwen, the mountain is steep, so Confucius once used the father of the Liang Dynasty as a metaphor for the difficulty of promoting benevolence, and Zhang Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty once used the "Liang father's difficulty" to metaphor the sinister career. The Northern Qi Liang father's order on the top of the mountain reflects the Buddha rock, which adds a strong cultural and religious color to this mountain. The popular "Liang Father's Yin" in the Han and Tang dynasties is a well-known song.

This mountain is the only place to pass by Liang Fu to Mu County, and it is also the place where Huang Zhong and others ambushed.

The 17th Army of the Gengzi Infantry Corps of the Northern Xinjiang Infantry was actually a part of the Liaodong Army led by Zhang He and captured most of the Korean Peninsula. Later, before Li Yi launched a decisive battle against the Xianbei people, it was reorganized into the 17th Army of the Infantry Gengzi Legion.

This force. He has been fighting on the Korean Peninsula for many years and is very good at mountain warfare. This is not a mountain combat tactic like Zang Ba's self-figuring out, but a systematic mountain combat tactic that Li Yi learned through the system. It can be said that this is the world's first professional mountain warfare army.

The reason why Li Yi transferred this unit to the army was not only because this unit was in Liaodong and it was convenient for it to reach the Shandong Peninsula by sea, but also because he valued its special combat capability. On the Shandong Peninsula, there is no shortage of mountainous terrain.

And this operation to ambush Zang Ba's Taishan thieves just gave full play to the special combat power of this unit.

………………

Zang Ba's Taishan thief troops lined up in a long snake formation. Quickly and quietly entered the mountain forest area at the foot of Liangfu Mountain. The team of more than 30,000 people was sparsely connected and stretched for several miles.

According to Xi Zhicai's suggestion, Zang Ba strictly ordered the soldiers not to light fires and lights, and everyone walked cautiously on the winding and rugged path in the dim moonlight. The soldiers were unsheathed and their arrows were wound, and they all looked nervous, constantly looking around, always maintaining a high degree of vigilance. Prevent sneak attacks from the enemy.

The troops walked very slowly.

Sun Guan was very dissatisfied and looked impatient. He drove his horse to Zang Ba's side and said loudly: "If you go on like this, you won't be able to reach Mu County tomorrow morning." What else do you say about taking the city? Is it necessary to be so nervous? ”

Zang Ba looked around uneasily, and said softly, "Be careful." The terrain of this place is complex, the mountains and forests are dense, and once it is ambushed. The whole army will be wiped out, and there will be no place to bury it. ”

He no longer paid attention to Sun Guan and said loudly to the herald beside him: "Give the order down." Stretch the formation a little longer. Let the soldiers cheer up and strengthen their vigilance. Tell everyone, we will camp immediately after crossing Liangfu Mountain. ”

A few miles of woodland at the foot of Liangfu Mountain, the army walked for more than an hour. The soldiers were in a high state of tension all the way, and they were already very tired physically and mentally.

At this moment, the vanguard of the army faintly saw the outline of a city in the eastern wilderness by moonlight. That is the county town of Mu, which is still about twenty miles away from here.

I don't know who was the first to let out a cheer, and then the excited shouts suddenly broke the silence of the night. The birds in the mountains and forests were suddenly awakened and flew in all directions in fright.

The soldiers who were at the forefront immediately quickened their pace, and they hurried along the path at the foot of Liangfu Mountain, heading northeast.

The vast plains stretch as far as the eye can see, and the moonlight is soft and hazy, and the moon is particularly deep and vast.

The soldiers' hearts suddenly relaxed, the long mountain road had been traversed with difficulty, and the road ahead was smooth, as comfortable as arriving at home. They shouted and laughed, and let out the ecstasy in their hearts without worry.

The soldiers, who were still walking slowly, could no longer control the joy in their hearts, they shouted with joy and ran wildly.

Sun Guan smiled at Zang Ba with a happy face and said, "We can go home." ”

Zang Ba laughed: "Mu County is already in our hands, now it's up to Li Yi to do it." I would like him to return to Taishan, so that I can kill his arrogance. ”

The two of them were in a good mood, and while talking easily, they quickly crossed Liangfu Mountain as the troops accelerated.

Many soldiers were already waiting for the horn to blow for the camp, and they could immediately lie down and rest.

Under the expectant gaze of the soldiers, Zang Ba made a camping gesture to the horn soldier who was closely following him.

The sound of the trumpet sounded, and the low, long voice echoed in the hazy night for a long time.

In less than half an hour, an army of 30,000 fell asleep on the edge of the empty plain. Dozens of soldiers in charge of the guard were scattered around the camp, and they were much more sleepy than awake.

Suddenly, a fire lit up on Liangfu Mountain, and the next moment, more firelight lit up. Immediately afterward, there was a burst of bang in the air, as if something was flying at a high speed.

Under the moonlight, a dark cloud pierced from the top of Liangfu Mountain to the camp of the Tarzan thieves, and then exploded with a bang.

The first wave of explosions in the camp of the Tarzan thieves had just begun, and the fire was lit up again on Liangfu Mountain, and then, another dark cloud pierced the camp of the Tarzan thieves at the foot of the mountain.

This is Yu Ban commanding the 200 crossbow vehicles of the Northern Xinjiang Army's chariot unit ambushed on Liangfu Mountain. The explosion in the camp of the Tarzan thieves was not really an explosion, but just a collateral effect caused by the giant crossbow arrows fired by the ballista after landing on the ground.

Two hundred ballistas, each firing, can fire four thousand bolts in a row. And the whole process from the loading of the crossbow bolt to the start of firing again is only half a column of incense (more than two minutes).

The next moment, the camp of the Tarzan thieves fell into chaos.

………………

At the first roar of the Ballista, the soldiers in charge of guarding the Tarzan camp widened their eyes and were momentarily dazed, completely forgetting their duties. Is this their own man or an enemy? Will there be an enemy on the great plains controlled by your own army?

A soldier subconsciously raised the horn of the calf, which was clenched tightly in his hand, and sounded the alarm horn.

Zang Ba is older and generally sleeps less. He reclined on his bag, crossed his arms, and felt as if there was something moving in the war horse beside him.

He woke up suddenly, and jumped very agilely.

Zang Ba saw that his war horse was restless, and his big eyes looked at Liangfu Mountain in the distance in horror, as if he had seen something that frightened it. Then, the sound of a quick, low trumpet roared from far and near, and in an instant it reached his ears.

Zang Ba's sleepiness disappeared suddenly, and his complexion changed greatly. He turned around and looked at the dark clouds rising from Liangfu Mountain in the northwest, and all the horror and despair surged into his heart for a while, forcing him to shout almost nervously: "Sneak attack! Enemy Sneak Attack ......"

The frightened and terrible whistling suddenly tore through the silence of the night, monotonous and terrifying.

Sun Guan suddenly woke up, jumped up almost as if reflexively, and pulled out the war knife in the scabbard at his waist with his right hand.

He shouted dizzily with wide eyes: "Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet, meet the enemy......"

Suddenly, he saw Zang Ba. Zang Ba was kicking the horn soldier sleeping nearby.

The horn soldiers stood up one after another, and when they heard the shouts of Zang Ba and Sun Guan, they almost instinctively stuffed the horn into their mouths and blew the horn of the assembly with all their strength.

The sound of a loud horn was like a stone thrown into the calm water, causing ripples in circles. The soldiers in the camp were awakened by the same alarm, and one by one they got up sleepily, and they couldn't find the south, south, west, and north.

Then Zang Ba and Sun Guan saw the rain of arrows that suddenly came from the sky from the darkness, and the rain of arrows was overwhelming.

Zang Ba was stunned, and the cunning Li Yi unexpectedly ambushed the army in the rear and threw a fatal knife when he was most paralyzed.

He was suddenly furious. If you don't give me a way to live, we'll fight to the death.

He screamed in a voice of almost despair: "Kill...... Fight at will, exchange life for life. ”

The enemy's surprise attack came too suddenly, too close to the troops, and simply did not have time to organize a queue, organize a defense. If you want to survive, it's all up to you.

However, what made the Taishan thief soldiers helpless was that they had no object to fight for their lives, because they were attacked only by the overwhelming rain of arrows, and those giant crossbow arrows that were one zhang long, relying on the geographical advantage of Liangfu Mountain more than 100 zhang above the ground, shot from Liangfu Mountain two or three miles away, with huge inertia, inclined to pour into the camp of the Taishan thief army, taking away one life after another.
