Chapter 408: Ambush in the Holy Mountain, Strategies
Looking at the position of Shen Tang's finger, Heihan, Zhuo and others were stunned for a moment.
Shen Tang refers to the northern end of the sacred mountain. Here, a small river several feet wide flows slowly, and what is left is a vast wilderness. Even the highest hills are only three to five meters tall and look the same as a There is no difference between larger earthbags.
After a long while, Yi Ciduo asked with some confusion: "Um... Sir, it's too difficult to hide your figure here.
I'm afraid the enemy will see it at a glance..."
Shen Tang smiled mysteriously, "Who said I was going to hide? My purpose of choosing this place is just to let those people find out..."...
Boom, boom, boom...
With the sound of horse hooves, Wang Gu's army finally arrived at the north of the sacred mountain in the afternoon of the next day.
Along the way, at every moment there were at least three scouting horses probing the position more than ten miles in front of the army.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is almost impossible to ambush the Wanggu tribe.
Just as Shen Tang had guessed, Xiao Delie was too cautious. No matter if there was any abnormality, he would explore the area with his horse and the army would only give the order to move forward after receiving feedback.
"In front of us is the sacred mountain. This is the only way we must pass, and it is also the best place to set up an ambush.
Immediately send five scouts forward to explore the slopes on both sides of the sacred mountain, and send two more scout horses directly to the top of the mountain..." Xiao Delie issued the order when he was still more than twenty miles away from the sacred mountain.
Then, a group of scout horses galloped away, while the rest of the army moved forward slowly.
There was at least a distance of more than five miles between the army and Tan Ma.
There is such a distance buffer, which is enough for Xiaodrey to make any movement.
Whether you are fighting in formation or retreating directly, there is enough time.
However, before entering the sacred mountain, Xiao Delie didn't pay too much attention.
Because the Holy Mountain is the most suitable place to set up an ambush, and the north of the Holy Mountain is the least suitable place to set up an ambush.
Here, in the wilderness and plains within ten miles, even if it is several miles away, if there is an ambush, it is enough to find clues.
"The army stops temporarily!"
When there were still six or seven miles before entering the Shenshan Pass, Xiao Delie gave the order again.
Then, a group of people stepped onto a hill and watched from a distance as a group of scout horses rushed towards the sacred mountain.
However, just when these scouting horses were about to rush into the pass, sharp arrows suddenly fell from the sky. The dense rain of arrows turned all the more than a hundred people in the seven teams of exploring horses into hedgehogs.
"The army is on alert!"
Seeing the accident, a captain of thousands and a captain of ten thousand beside Xiao Delie hurriedly ordered his soldiers.
"Commander, there is an ambush ahead!"
A captain of ten thousand men said cautiously.
Their current position is about five or six miles away from the foot of the sacred mountain. Although they can't see clearly, they can see some figures hidden in the dark moving slowly in several small mountain valleys. On the bank of the small river, there are also some shadows, showing some figures.
"Commander, should we stop temporarily or find a way to attack."
The captain next to him asked in a serious voice.
However, Xiao Delie looked at the situation ahead, and after a moment, he smiled faintly and said, "Haha... I heard that the person in charge of the army here is General He Shiliezhining of the Jin Kingdom! This person is indeed a bit different. The method, this imaginary but real method, is really skillful."
"Send an order to send five thousand soldiers and horses to each side as flanks, and massacre all those people.
The Chinese army entered the pass as quickly as possible and passed through the sacred mountain."
Xiao Delie calmly issued the order.
"Commander, there is an ambush of Jin men ahead..." Captain Wanfu asked in confusion.
Almost at the same time, on a peak of the Holy Mountain, Heihan, Zhuo and others also asked Shen Tang this question.
Yesterday, Shen Tang arranged the 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and then they waited here quietly.
However, until now, they are still puzzled by the layout of Shen Hall.
"General!"
Heihan and Zhuo scratched their heads, "Now, aren't the reinforcements from the north of the sacred mountain actively exposed?
According to what the adults said, this Xiao Delie has a cautious character, so he will definitely retreat, or at least stop moving forward.
If this happens, won't our arrangement lose its effect?"
Shen Tang smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, they will never retreat. Instead, they will directly enter the pass with their main force."
"This is not..." Heihan and Zhuo wanted to retort, but as soon as he spoke, he saw the densely packed main force of the Wanggu tribe in the north, and suddenly urged their horses to rush towards the Shenshan Pass. Came over.
Wanggu's 50,000-strong army, except for the 10,000-strong army on the two flanks, the remaining 40,000-strong army did not conduct any exploration of the sacred mountain, but rushed towards it at a rapid pace.
Heihan and Zhuo opened their mouths wide, with dull and shocked expressions on their faces.
But Yi Ciduo and a few others stood aside with half-smiling smiles: How dare you question the general?
Even if the general said that these people were about to commit suicide, they would imagine why these people would commit suicide instead of thinking of ways to refute it.
how?
You must have been slapped in the face directly by an adult.
Although we don’t know why, since the adults have said it, is it wrong?
Several people, led by Shen Tang, sat cross-legged on a flat boulder. There were even some refreshments placed in front of them.
Yi Ciduo and others all have a bit of weirdness in their hearts.
Is this a war involving tens of thousands of people fighting?
But why is it different?
In the past, when encountering such a situation, we would rush forward with our army.
But now, he is sitting here steadily, changing from a person who rushes into the battle to a person who watches the battle...
Is this what your Excellency calls ‘strategizing and winning from thousands of miles away?
’
The feeling is indeed strange, but it feels really good in my heart... It's as if the battles that I and others experienced before were all fake?
Could it be that this is the real way to start a war?
Seeing the strange expressions on these people's faces, Shen Tang couldn't help but smile. In terms of background, although the Central Plains Dynasty would be in a weak position from time to time.
However, there are some things that cannot only be compensated by strong soldiers and horses.
In the Central Plains since the Shang and Zhou dynasties, almost every generation has had brave and unparalleled people.
For example, the Overlord Xiang Yu, the God of Killing Bai Qi, the Tianbao General Yuwen Chengdu, the most powerful general of the Sui and Tang Dynasties Li Yuanba, etc., each of them has courage that is unworthy of all men.
However, some of the generals who were as brilliant as them also showed brilliance and wisdom that other tribes could not imagine.
