"Gao Shun, you will immediately lead the trapped camp to Yangping Pass to snipe the enemy reinforcements."
Since you want to snipe, you have to take out the sharpest knife in your hand.
Sima Lang took out a map he had recently drawn. It was more than two hundred miles from Hanzhong to Yangping Pass.
He added: "My lord, why don't you intercept the enemy's reinforcements outside Yangping Pass, lure the defenders inside Yangping Pass to come out for support, and capture Yangping Pass in one fell swoop."
Wang Dingdao: "This plan is very good."
If we can capture Yangping Pass in one fell swoop, it would naturally be the best.
However, intercepting the enemy in front of Yangping Pass will be a bit more risky.
In terms of military strength, Wang Ding has no advantage.
You may not be able to volley, but you may be attacked from both sides by the opponent.
But Wang Ding still decided to send troops. The risk was a little higher than intercepting halfway, but no matter how you looked at it, his side had a better chance of winning.
The strength of both sides is equal, and it sounds like there is no way to lure the defenders out of Yangping Pass.
If the opponent were to defend the city again, it would probably take another month or two to capture Yangping Pass.
It was Gao Shun and Xu Huang who went to intercept the enemy troops coming from Hanzhong.
Wang Ding, Fan Chou and Han Sui led another large army and headed towards Yangping Pass a little later.
Cheng Yin and Liang Xing led a group of people to stay in Wudu.
Before Gao Shun and Xu Huang set off, Wang Ding also sent out scouts to pay close attention to Yangping Pass and the Guyang Road from Hanzhong to Yangping.
In Hanzhong, Yang Ren had already set off with five thousand soldiers. Zhang Lu did not realize that Wang Ding's people were already preparing to intercept his army.
As the first general under Zhang Lu, Yang Ren has the most powerful force among all generals.
On weekdays, I don’t take Yang Bai, Zhang Wei and others seriously.
That is to say, Zhang Wei is Zhang Lu's younger brother, and Yang Bai has an older brother, Yang Song, who is Zhang Lu's most trusted adviser.
Otherwise, he would have been the one who guarded Yangping or Wudu before.
Yang Ren believed that if Wudu was left to be defended by the prefect, it would never be lost now.
He led five thousand people and headed toward Yangping Pass in a majestic manner.
Yang Ren was riding on a tall horse, with the spear in his hand pointing toward the ground, and holding the reins in one hand.
I was thinking about how to seize power when we get to Yangping.
It was clear that their military strength was not inferior to that of the Han army, but Zhang Wei and Yang Bai did not dare to go to battle and only knew how to stand firm.
In the end, the city was still destroyed by the Han army.
Yang Ren did not bring any luggage, so he marched in a hurry, starting early in the morning and arriving outside Yangping Pass that night.
But he didn't know that Gao Shun Xu Huang was already thirty miles outside Yangping Pass, quietly waiting for his arrival.
Five thousand people were hiding in the forest, and Gao Shun specifically ordered the soldiers to hide the heads of their guns so as not to expose them.
Scouts have returned, bringing the latest news about Yang Ren.
There are still fifty miles to the ambush.
Half an hour later, another scout came back and reported: "The enemy is thirty miles away.
Half an hour, march twenty miles.
Yang Ren's five thousand men marched very quickly.
Gao Shun concluded that these five thousand people should be the elite of Zhang Lu's command.
Ordinary soldiers can travel hundreds of miles a day.
Elite soldiers march two hundred miles a day.
You can move forward at a trot.
Another half an hour passed, and the scout came back again to report: "The enemy is ten miles away."
Gao Shun stood on the top of the mountain and could already see the soldiers and horses meandering on the road ahead.
Yang Ren also sent scouts to explore the road ahead.
This is the most basic awareness of a general.
However, the scouts he sent out only made general observations and did not go deep into the forest.
It is impossible for these spies to see a mountain forest and go in to search carefully.
If you are so meticulous, you simply don’t have enough manpower.
If you really want to go into the mountain and investigate carefully, you will basically be the leader. If you sense a threat, you may encounter a place that is very suitable for an ambush.
The Han army had just finished their work to conquer Wudu, and Yang Ren set out for Yangping this morning.
Yang Ren never thought that the Han army would be ambushing here at this time.
Even before he set out, he was already being targeted by Jia Xu.
In Yang Ren's opinion, the Han army must still be in Wudu, pacifying the residents in the city and settling the surrendered prisoners.
It should be three to five days before the Han army attacks Yangping, or even longer.
He can still take advantage of this period of time to take all the military power of Yangping Pass into his own hands.
Yang Ren rode a war horse and walked in front, but his thoughts were on how to seize power.
Five thousand soldiers and horses are getting closer and closer to Gao Shun Xu Huang's ambush point.
"Prepare."
When Yang Ren and his five thousand soldiers and horses passed by the foot of the mountain, Gao Shun gave the order.
The soldiers hidden in the mountains and forests raised their bows and arrows.
"Launch."
Arrows fell one after another towards the five thousand enemy troops at the foot of the mountain.
Yang Ren, who was walking in front, suddenly saw an overwhelming rain of arrows falling, and immediately understood that they were ambushed.
It's just that he couldn't understand why the Han army didn't need to rest and regroup before they broke through Wudu. How could he have time to ambush here?
No one gave him an explanation for the doubts in his heart. A hail of arrows fell, and Xu Huang came out of the forest with the stone ax in his hand.
Hua Liuju was still in the forest. Xu Huang strode his two long legs and carried the stone ax on his shoulders. He approached an enemy and struck down with one blow of the axe.
He charged straight towards Yang Ren.
The indiscriminate rain of arrows just now was dodged by Yang Ren, and he was not injured.
But among the 5,000 elite Hanzhong men he brought, more than a thousand of them were injured, and they were now in chaos.
Even if Yang Ren shouted to them not to panic, his order would not reach hundreds of people.
Ren Ping and Yang Ren had great ambitions and wanted to show off their talents, but at this moment they were unable to do anything about it.
The moment they were attacked, fear enveloped the hearts of the five thousand soldiers.
Xu Huang is also a fierce general, with a stone-piercing ax that can block and kill gods. Ordinary soldiers are no match for him.
Moreover, killing people with a stone-piercing ax is really too violent. Even if they are all elites in Hanzhong, they can't resist a stone-piercing ax that can split a person in half with just one blow.
Gao Shun also led the trapped camp and rushed into the enemy army.
"The ambition to be trapped in a battle will lead to death but not life."
The Five Thousand Traps camp joined the battlefield and roared in unison. The already frightened and panicked enemy troops immediately frightened many people into silence, and they didn't even know they had lost their weapons.
Xu Huang killed more than a dozen enemy soldiers in a row and rushed to Yang Ren.
The stone ax struck at Yang Ren.
Yang Ren has always believed that he is strong and looks down on Zhang Wei and Yang Bai.
At this moment, seeing Xu Huang actually coming to him, he was not afraid. Instead, he felt happy, waved his spear, and stabbed Xu Huang.
To capture the thief, capture the king first!
If he could kill Xu Huang, he might be able to defeat the ambush in front of him.
Xu Huangdu's stone ax collided with Yang Ren's spear.
Xu Huang already has a general understanding of Yang Ren's strength.
They all use guns, but Yang Ren's strength obviously cannot be compared with Ma Chao.
