Chapter 407: How to set up an ambush on the sacred mountain
To the south of the Tianshan Mountains and to the north of the wealthy people, at the center of the two places, there is a mountain range called Shenshan Mountain.
This mountain range runs from east to west, with only a large gap connecting the north and south.
Here is the end of the Sylamulin River and the Tume River running through it. The terrain is complex and changeable, making this an excellent location for setting up an ambush.
And Shen Tang chose the battlefield here.
Because it was difficult for He Shi Liezhining to lead his troops to retreat. As long as the Wang Gu tribe confirmed the news, they would definitely walk out of the wilderness and go south as soon as possible to attack the Jin soldiers with the Xixia army.
But if they want to go south, the sacred mountain in front of them is the only way for them to pass.
On the top of a mountain in the Holy Mountain, Shen Tang was fighting against the wind! The biting cold wind blew on his face, causing his eyes to narrow slightly.
"Presumably, then Wang Gubu should have gotten the news.
Then, they will pass by this place tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
So, we have one day to arrange it here first.”
Shen Tang said calmly.
After the words fell, Shen Tang turned to Yi Ciduo and others behind him.
"You have already understood the terrain here. If we follow your ideas, how should we lay it out?"
Shen Tang asked with a smile.
A question made these generals of the Jin Kingdom look quite nervous.
Just like students being tested by a teacher, they don't know how to write answers that satisfy the teacher.
After a long while, Heihan and Zhuo Gang finally said, "Sir, in my opinion, we will set up an ambush directly on the hillsides on both sides of the gap. As long as they come, we will first use stones and rolling logs to break their formation, and then, There are ambushes everywhere, and there is no reason to fail."
Heihan and Zhuo's method is the simplest and most practical! Moreover, there are countless examples of working part-time.
Even Shen Tang, Teng Wu and others often use this simple and practical method.
"good!"
Balumuhe responded, "However, we should set up an ambush along the way to them. When they are defeated, we can hunt them down."
As for Yi Ciduo and the others, they hesitated for a moment and then nodded.
Obviously, they also strongly agreed with Heihan and Zhuo's method.
Then, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Tang.
Although they thought about it for a long time and didn't think there would be any problem with this, they still felt uneasy without Shen Tang's affirmation.
Shen Tang smiled softly and pointed at the pass below, "Yes, on the battlefield, the simplest method may be the most effective method. Given the current situation and terrain, this is indeed one of the good methods.
However, this requires a premise, that is, the enemy must walk into our preset ambush place."
Several people were stunned when they heard this, "Sir, this is the only way for them to go south. They must pass through here."
Heihan and Zhuo said in confusion.
Shen Tang nodded, "What you said is right, but something unexpected happened.
First of all, the same terrain will undergo some changes due to the layout of the battlefield and the general's ideas.
Moreover, when facing enemies with different personalities, the methods used will be different.
In your opinion, what is the character of the commander of Wang Gu’s army?”
Several people looked at each other for a moment, but they all shook their heads.
"Sir, I asked the general, and I only know that the commander of Wanggu's army is named Xiao Delie.
However, we are not familiar with Wang Gu's tribe, and we don't know who Xiao Delie is.
So, there is no understanding.”
Balumu said.
"Information is indeed the first element of the battlefield, and its importance is unparalleled!"
Shen Tang said casually, "When information is unequal, many unimaginable things and consequences will indeed occur.
For example, right now, the Wang Gu tribe does not know the specific information about Xiashui Town and Xijing, so they will make wrong judgments and actions, which also gives us the opportunity to defeat them."
"However, as the top generals of the Jin Kingdom, you can analyze some of the things we want through the enemy's methods and behavior without any other information."
"We really don't know much about Xiao Delie, but when he led his army, he went directly into the wilderness without fighting with the general and the others at all.
Although, this will have some connection with Xixia and their interests.
But, at least, we can feel that, firstly, this person does not want to fight us head-on.
Secondly, this person’s character must be more cautious.”
"The general began to withdraw his troops yesterday. Although they are in the wilderness, they must be very clear about what is happening at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
If you are an anxious person, even if you are not sure whether the news is true or false, you will at least send troops to test it.
However, what we have seen is that to this day, we still have not seen any trace of them on the side of the Tianshan Mountains."
"This shows that he is waiting for his spies to confirm that the news is completely correct before he actually launches troops.
Otherwise, he would rather wait a day or two more than act rashly."
"And this, they hid in the wilderness for a long time before they were combined, which is enough to prove that this person acted cautiously and carefully.
If you are not completely sure, you would rather give up the target than easily cause casualties to the soldiers under your command."
"Although this is just my speculation, if there are no accidents, it will not cause much deviation."
Even though Heihan, Zhuo and others had already greatly recognized and admired Shen Tang, they were still extremely shocked when they heard Shen Tang's analysis.
They have never met each other, but they already have control over each other's temperament.
It would be an absolute nightmare to be an enemy of such a person.
Moreover, they also strongly agreed with Shen Tang's analysis.
I just didn’t think of these things, but in fact, I can draw corresponding conclusions just by thinking about them.
Shen Tang patted Heihan Hezhuo on the shoulder and said calmly, "Any general in charge of the army, as soon as he sees the terrain of the sacred mountain pass, will do everything possible to rule out the possibility of an ambush here.
If you are a reckless person, you may ignore this point or risk passing the message. However, for a cautious person, unless you are completely sure that there are no ambushes or dangers on the sacred mountain, he would definitely rather wait than It will put the army under your command in danger."
"Moreover, Xiaodrey is actually not in a hurry to go south.
Later, the Xixia people and us will suffer more damage. It will only be good for them and not harmful.
Why be anxious?"
"So, if we want to set up an ambush here, we have to set up the ambush there..."
Saying that, Shen Tang pointed his finger towards the foot of the mountain!
