Just as the eight princes were anxiously waiting for the news of the 10,000 infantry troops sent to test, the guards arrived quickly and reported loudly!
"Retreating? What retreat? Is the army these days an illusion?"
The eight princes were stunned, and Pingxiang Hou Gongsun Zan blurted out in confusion...
"I'm telling you, generals! Those armies are not an illusion, but a real retreat. It's not that dense woods have appeared inexplicably in the valley, blocking our way!"
The guard straightened up and loudly reported the report with certainty!
"Pa... I fell into the trap! No wonder I received news that hundreds of thousands of troops have bypassed Gaolu City and headed for Jingyang. The enemy knew that they were no match for us and the Eighth Route Army, so they sent out elite troops to hold us back and give us
The rest of the army has enough time to evacuate! What a mistake! What a mistake!"
As soon as the guard finished speaking, Gongsun Zan reacted immediately, slapped his thigh with great remorse, and shouted loudly!
"Send the order! Immediately send all the swordsmen and axemen to cut down the trees in the valley, and be sure to open the road as quickly as possible. The enemy must not be allowed to escape!"
Liu Dai, the Marquis of Yanxian County, became angry and ordered sternly. The eight princes looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. They had been tricked by the King of Hanzhong...
Who made everyone shocked by the famous King of Hanzhong. He actually let the 50,000 troops of the King of Hanzhong drag the 2 million troops of the Eight Route Princes for seven days. If they did not catch up with the army of the King of Hanzhong this time, then the eight of them
He will definitely become the laughing stock of the world!
Another day later...
"Report to the general! The dense forests in the valley have basically been cut down. A sufficient path forward has been opened!"
As soon as they started cutting down, the eight princes discovered that the King of Hanzhong in Bt had forced the growth of forests and blocked the valley with dense forests, making it impossible for the coalition of princes to advance. They could only send more manpower to cut down the roads as soon as possible to open up the road! At the same time, they took the lead.
Send envoys to hurry up and notify all the cities along the way. Those who open the city to surrender should stay in their original positions. Those who attack the King of Hanzhong's army will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and be given official titles; those who refuse to surrender and intend to resist the coalition forces will also be given an order by the King of Hanzhong to open the city.
The army let go. The army arrived. The whole house was wiped out.
I have to admit that the order for the eight princes to come together is indeed effective. There is no need to fight between the eight princes and the king of Hanzhong. Everyone knows which side has the advantage. Even if the king of Hanzhong is admitted to be more powerful, the water from far away cannot save the fire that is close. Even if Hanzhong is
The king will lead his army to take revenge in the future. But that is also a matter of the future. If we can't get through it now, why talk about the future? Without exception, the guards of the cities along the way chose to remain silent. They did not stop the king of Hanzhong from advancing, nor opened the door.
The city was released. At the same time, the coalition forces of the eight princes arrived. They directly opened the city and surrendered. After all, with two million troops, if no matter the cost, it would not take much time to attack each city by force. Why seek death?
"We must not let them escape this time! I, together with Dongxiang Hou Qiaomao, Hexiang Hou Wangkuang, Yanxian Hou Liudai, and Lingxiang Hou Zhangchao, led our elite troops White Horse Yi Cong and our elite cavalry, a total of 200,000 cavalry, to pursue them first
. To hold back the enemy army. Yangxiang Marquis Yuan Yi, Yuxian Hou Kong, and Hebei County Marquis Hanfu led the army and arrived as soon as possible. Do you have any objections?"
As soon as he heard the news that the road was opened, Gongsun Zan immediately said impatiently, all the princes looked at each other, and now they made a decision to pursue. They should have been watching and helping each other and working together. Gongsun Zan's suggestion was not wrong. Everyone did not say anything, so they all gathered together.
swear!
The cities along the road did not dare to resist the 200,000 cavalry vanguard of the coalition army, so they opened the city directly to let them go. However, Gongsun Zan and other five princes did not stay in the cities. They just passed through with the most supplies. Although it was a day late, it was less time to go.
The distance has doubled, but the pursuit is getting closer and closer. After seeing the Lingshan Mountain, it is Jingyang. If the Hanzhong King's army bypasses Jingyang City, they will have to walk dozens of kilometers more, and they will be directly passed through Jingyang City.
The 200,000 coalition cavalry were blocking the front. Finally, light appeared. The five princes were even more excited and excited. Although the front was only the elite of the Hanzhong King's headquarters, it was said that the 100,000 Xiliang surrender troops from Dong Zhuo had already bypassed the pool.
It's sunny, but Gongsun Zan and others don't care. They destroyed the elite of the Hanzhong King's headquarters. Taking into account the impact of our own victory on both sides, hundreds of thousands of Xiliang generals are not a piece of cake!
"Report to the general! The King of Hanzhong has set up a battle formation at the entrance of the Lingshan Valley!" Gongsun Zan and other princes had just led 200,000 cavalry into the Lingshan Valley, and then reported to the scouts who were exploring the way ahead!
Although he was fooled once, the shadow of the reputation of the King of Hanzhong was too heavy. Gongsun Zan couldn't help but hesitate for a while, and he was uncertain. You must know that the Lingshan Valley is as good as the Weishan Valley as an excellent ambush location!
"Marquis Pingxiang doesn't need to worry too much! The King of Hanzhong is probably just trying to hold back our army. When his army reaches Chang'an City, even if our army destroys the King of Hanzhong's headquarters, we won't be able to get back the treasury wealth!"
Seeing Gongsun Zan's hesitation, Zhang Chao, the Marquis of Lingxiang, couldn't help but urged anxiously!
"But the valley is the best place for ambush. It is not a good idea to break in like this. The enemy only needs to send 20,000 troops to ambush from both sides of the valley. Just huge rocks and rolling trees are enough to wipe out our army!"
Gongsun Zan rubbed his temples with a headache, expressed his concerns, paused, looked at the guard who reported the report and said:
"Are there any hidden dangers found on both sides of the valley?
"Report to the General! There are ambushes on both sides of the valley, with a total number of about 20,000!"
The guard was very sure and reported the report honestly!
"What a headache! Even if I know that the enemy is using a trick to hold back our army, the terrain is like this. It's not about advancing, and it's not about not advancing! I see the enemy's so-called ambush, and they have never thought of hiding it from our army. Otherwise, how could they have done it?
So easy to spot!”
Liu Dai, the Marquis of Yanxian County, sighed and said bitterly!
The five princes were silent, yes, with such a terrain, even if the enemy army laid out an "ambush" openly, it would be enough to scare everyone away!
"Let's do this! Separate one hundred thousand cavalry and turn them into infantry. Dongxiang Hou Qiaomao and Hexiang Hou Wangkuang each lead 50,000 people to climb mountains and encircle them. Plus the new humans who are following now, I think they are enough to deal with the ambush in the valley! And Yan and I
County Marquis Liu Dai and Lingxiang Marquis Zhang Chao are ready at any time. If the enemy retreats, the three of us will immediately catch up with one hundred thousand cavalry, and you and the other two will follow. If the enemy does not retreat, our army will be spared the ambush in the valley.
What a disaster, is this a good thing?"
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and suddenly a man who looked like a scribe whispered in Gongsun Zan's ears. Gongsun Zan was overjoyed and suggested!
"So good!"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they all responded loudly!
So Dongxiang Hou Qiao Mao and Hexiang Hou Wang Kuang each led an army of 50,000 cavalry and infantry, and about tens of thousands of players climbed mountains from both sides to attack the Yizhou ambush army ambushing both sides of the valley. Gongsun Zan, Liu Dai, and Zhang Chao
The princes led the remaining more than 100,000 cavalry and followed the steps of the Soushan army and slowly pushed towards the Yizhou army at the entrance of the opposite valley!
Lingshan Mountain, which is more than 700 meters above sea level, is such an easy place to climb. There were about 110,000 troops on both sides of the mountain climbing for half a day, and they had just climbed halfway...
The evil shadow camp...
"Haha... The coalition of eight princes is not so stupid that they didn't lead their troops to kill them directly!"
Hearing the news that the pursuing coalition forces stopped and led their troops to search the mountain, Xie Ying couldn't help but laugh and said.
"Haha... With the terrain like this, no one would rush over so stupidly. It is normal to send troops to search the mountain first and force away the ambushing troops!"
Jia Xu stroked his mustache with a smile and said slowly. He was not an idiot. He would not have forced his way into the valley knowing that there was an ambush. He was obviously asking for death, and the evil shadow army knew that it could not ambush.
If it succeeds, we still send out an ambush army. The effect is obvious!
"It's time to withdraw the ambush army in the valley! There is no need to spend too long with the enemy. After all, this cannot stop the advance of the enemy's main force. Just achieve the goal of dividing the army!"
As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, Guo Jia continued with a smile!
"Yes! Order to withdraw! Prepare for battle!"
Xie Ying's face straightened and he immediately gave the order. After a pause, he looked at Yun Lei and Mrs. Zhu Rong beside him and said:
"You two are about to set off. Whether things can succeed or not depends on you two!"
"yes!"
The steady Mrs. Zhu Rong and the innocent and active Yun Lei asked repeatedly. Yun Lei was even more excited, as if she was looking forward to something fun!
"Report to the general! All the troops ambush on the mountain have been withdrawn from the cliff! Both the Marquis of Dongxiang and the Marquis of Hexiang have sent orders back, and they can march!"
After waiting for several hours, Gongsun Zan, who was always prepared, received the report from the guards! Gongsun Zan's eyes lit up, and he directly ordered the march without asking whether the King of Hanzhong's headquarters was still at the entrance of the valley! Because he was confident that, except for the ambush in the valley, in the fierce frontal battle,
He was confident that one hundred thousand cavalry could defeat the Hanzhong King's headquarters. Don't forget that there was also one hundred thousand troops who would withdraw from Lingshan immediately. Even two hundred thousand troops could not defeat the enemy's fifty thousand troops. Gongsun Zan felt that his life was in vain. He felt that his life was in vain.
Our own elite unit, the "White Horse Yicon", is full of confidence!
"Click! Click..."
The sound of dense horse hooves came from the valley like rolling thunder, mixed with the sound of crushing dead branches and leaves...
