97, ambush

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The main battlefield outside Tongguan City.

Corpses littered the fields.

The blood mixed with the white snow and turned into frozen muddy water.

The earth is a bit more dark red.

The stumps and broken arms were buried by the wind and snow, but emerged when the army passed by.

There were several corpses hanging upside down on the dead trees without leaves, their internal organs dripping down and frozen into ice.

Because it was far away and it was winter, the army in Tongguan had not had time to collect the corpses of their own people.

Geng Lie doesn't seem to be someone who can understand soldiers. He can't even keep up with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The corpses that were hung, strung, and speared were used for demonstration.

Wen Yue looked solemn. He was still twenty miles away from Jiangyun Valley. He was thinking very little. He was thinking more about how to use 10,000 troops to break through the Wei army's blockade and remove his father-in-law from Jiangyun Valley.

Fish it out from Yungu.

There are only ten miles left to Jiangyun Valley.

The road became narrower and the number of steeper rock walls began to increase.

"Wen Chong, you lead three thousand men and ambush here. If you hear a battle, follow the signal and act." Wen Yue looked at the bodyguard beside him.

"Don't worry, sir."

Wen Chong, a tall man, clasped his fists firmly and firmly.

Wen Chong was left behind to provide support and marched another five miles.

Basically, we have almost reached Jiangyun Valley.

Wen Yue left troops and horses again.

"Wen Guang, you lead four thousand soldiers and horses to ambush here."

"All the flags in the army will be given to you. When the time comes, it will be up to the former military order flags."

Wen Guang took Wen Yue's arm, looked at Wen Yue and said, "Master, I'd better go."

Wen Yue shook his head.

On this trip, only if he goes forward can he defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

There is no other way.

"Sanhu, listen to this man."

Wen Yue grabbed Sanhu and pointed at Wen Guang with a firm expression.

"No!"

Sanhu shook his head and must follow Wen Yue.

"Sanhu, be obedient, be obedient. My brother-in-law will buy you candied haws when he gets back."

Sanhu hesitated a little after hearing this, and then said: "Brother-in-law, candied haws."

"Yes, when you get back, my brother-in-law will treat you to some candied haws, that's enough."

"Wen Guang, I will leave the three tigers to you."

"Don't worry, young master, even if I die, I will protect my young master." Wen Guang handed over his hand and solemnly agreed.

Wen Yue laughed, the three tigers didn't need anyone to protect them.

When Sanhu was first-class in refining his internal organs, he could fight against the innate masters with his natural divine power. Now that he has gained ghost hands, if he exerts his full strength, he should be able to catch up with the early Qi practitioners.

Wen Yue only brought 500 light cavalry and 2,500 infantry.

One thousand cavalry was left for Wen Guang, and another 1,500 cavalry was left for Wen Chong. With the highly mobile cavalry behind them, they would basically not be blocked by the Wei army.

Wen Yue led three thousand soldiers and horses to Jiangyun Valley.

There is an excellent ambush site in front of Falling Cloud Valley.

If the Northern Wei army blocked them in front of the valley, they would have to enter the valley as a last resort, and either fight their way out of Jiangyun Valley, or they would be trapped and die inside.

Jiangyun Valley is shaped like clouds, twisted and very irregular.

Some places are wide and some are narrow, suitable for a few soldiers to fight guerrillas, but not suitable for large army operations.

Of course, it is also one of the terrains that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Both thoroughfares are relatively narrow and can only allow a few horses to travel in parallel.

However, no matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, if the enemy does not attack, Liang Jun in Jiangyun Valley will be trapped and die.

Food and grass are gone, and there is a lack of water.

If it hadn't been snowing and I could still make snow water and drink it, I might have been unable to hold on long ago.

Right in front of us is the final valley.

The main road is guarded by Wei soldiers.

Seeing the sound of the banner with the word Wen, those Wei soldiers were not afraid and even looked over.

"kill!"

Wen Yue led the charge with five hundred light cavalry following him.

Two thousand five hundred infantrymen rushed to fill the gap.

"Kill."

The shouts of killing were loud, and a large army suddenly appeared and directly blocked the position behind Wen Yue's three thousand soldiers and horses.

"Sir, there is an ambush."

The guard beside him yelled.

Wen Yue had long expected to turn around and ambush him, and was not surprised at all.

I turned around and glanced at the flag, which read 'Yuwen'.

It seems that the Tuoba family's two battlefield defeats directly led to the coach of the Tongguan war being replaced by someone from the Yuwen family.

There was nothing we could do about it. Tuoba Bao was killed by Wen Yue, and Tuoba Hong was submerged in the water. We don't know if he died or if he had escaped back. He would probably have to shed his skin even if he didn't die.

If Wen Yue's prediction is correct, the visitor should be Yu Wenxing, a famous general of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Into the valley."

Wen Yue didn't want to quarrel with him anymore, so he directly led his army to Jiangyun Valley.

The Wei army pressed forward step by step, as if they were trying to block Wen Yue into Jiangyun Valley.

Outside Jiangyun Valley, inside the Wei army's central tent.

A tall middle-aged man in full armor was playing with the sand table in Falling Cloud Valley.

This time he only brought 30,000 troops.

The terrain was too rugged and difficult to use, but it was enough because according to his intelligence, Wen Yue only led five thousand troops.

Thirty thousand versus five thousand, the numbers are completely superior.

"General, is it possible that you have trapped Song Hao for twenty days just because of this man?"

"Why should we engage in guerrilla warfare with a small army of three thousand soldiers and horses, which can be swept away by a large army of cavalry?" The deputy general suddenly felt doubts in his mind when he saw that his commander was not in a hurry at all, and even dispatched his troops slowly and leisurely.

He really didn't understand that spending so much manpower and material resources was not as good as using Luohe as a fulcrum to cross Tongguan and cut off Liang Jun's food route.

Trapping thousands or even tens of thousands of people is not as good as trapping the big city of Tongguan.

Now it seems that General Tuoba's strategy is also correct.

However, he did not wait for that opportunity. Instead, Wen Yue found the opportunity and used the sky flood of the Luo River to directly submerge Tuoba Hong, who was stationed at Feihong Stream.

Yu Wenxing turned around, pursed his lips, and looked at the huge sand table in front of him: "This matter is not something I can control."

Saying that, Yu Wenxing pointed upward.

The deputy general's eyes widened immediately, but he became even more suspicious.

The commander pointed upward, could it be that His Majesty wanted to do this?

But that's not right. Your Majesty has already had a purpose, which is to conquer the great city of Tongguan.

If it hadn't been for General Tuoba's advice and permission, he wouldn't have led an army of 150,000 people out alone.

It is said that there is an army of 150,000, but in fact there are only more than 40,000 to less than 50,000 regular soldiers capable of fighting. The rest are grain, grass and baggage, auxiliary troops, farmers who drag equipment, etc.

Tuoba Hong himself didn't want to fight head-on. He wanted to cross the river and cut the grain road.

Seeing that the deputy general did not understand, Yu Wenxing explained.

"Hey, this matter is arranged by the immortal master from above."

As he spoke, he looked outside the handsome tent.

There were only falling snowflakes outside the tent, and the ground was white as far as the eye could see.

But he seemed to have seen the scene of Falling Cloud Valley.

"kill."

Wen Yue alone led 300 cavalry to charge forward, and there were fewer and fewer cavalry around him.

The Wei army blocking him was also rapidly decreasing.

Until we crossed the long and narrow road and finally saw an open place.

There is no Wei army here at all, only four people standing there.

As soon as he entered this place, Wen Yue's expression suddenly changed.

These four people all possess auras, and they are all more brilliant than him.

Banner Tushanjun looked solemn. This battle was more dangerous than Li Qingfeng's battle. There were four people in front of him.

One person practices Qi at the seventh level, and the two practice Qi at the sixth level.

One person practices Qi at the fifth level.

"Senior brother, is this the person?" The young man holding the sword spit out the weeds in his mouth and looked at Wen Yue who rushed in on horseback.

Another one took out a bloody compass, and the compass pointer was pointing at Wen Yue.

"The compass instructions are correct. He killed Junior Brother Zhu."

"But this person doesn't seem to have any cultivation. Could it be that his cultivation is higher than mine?"

"I think I should have used the method of holding my breath."

The words of the three people seemed to have never put Wen Yue in their eyes. Only the leader, a seventh-level Qi practitioner, looked directly at Wen Yue: "Don't be careless. This person's cultivation must be at least in the later stage."

.”

Wen Yue turned over and dismounted.

He knew that if he left today, he might not be able to leave.

It's impossible to say that even his own body has to be left here.

Wen Yue narrowed his eyes and shouted sharply: "Who are you?"
