This is an important road leading to Chengdu, where soldiers sent by Wang Can are stationed.
In fact, Wang Can deployed troops at various strategic points, and stationed a large number of troops at the most important locations to prevent Li Jing's army from breaking out.
Su Dingfang and his men came over quietly.
Surrounding Su Dingfang, there were about three thousand soldiers, all of whom were direct descendants of the soldiers.
Every soldier is an elite.
Su Dingfang lurked over quietly. He looked carefully and saw the soldiers stationed on the official road. There were about a thousand soldiers stationed at this location.
It is not difficult to deal with an army of a thousand men.
However, Su Dingfang did not take immediate action. Instead, he arranged for sentries to investigate the surrounding areas to confirm that there were no troops stationed in the surrounding areas for the time being. Even if they wanted to come to the rescue, it would take a certain amount of time.
When everything was in order, Su Dingfang ordered: "Kill!"
He carried a big gun and rushed out.
After Su Dingfang fought out, all the soldiers under his command also fought out together.
"kill!"
Three thousand soldiers, shouting and charging.
Because the distance was not far, it didn't take long. Su Dingfang's soldiers had already reached the stationed soldiers.
When the general in charge saw this, he was not panicked. He did not order a frontal attack, but immediately ordered a defensive formation on the spot.
The general's intention is to defend and delay.
Because after a war breaks out here, as soon as the news spreads, a large army will arrive soon.
When the time comes, you will be able to win in one go.
Su Dingfang led his troops to charge and encountered the opponent's full defense. When he saw this scene, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Defensive?
This is exactly what he had in mind.
Su Dingfang led the troops to charge and attacked continuously.
However, although the Shu army soldiers stationed here were small in number, they did not panic at all. The defense was also in an orderly manner without any chaos, and they were able to resist steadily.
Both sides were constantly fighting.
While the two sides were fighting, the news spread quickly.
Eight miles east of this place, Yingbu led his army to be stationed here. He got the news of the enemy attack. Without any hesitation, he quickly led his soldiers to fight out and began to go to the fighting place to prepare for reinforcements.
At the same time, Yingbu also spread the news so that people around him could take action.
Yingbu led the army and quickly arrived at the battlefield and joined the battlefield.
Yingbu ordered: "Kill and capture the general. Your Majesty will give you many rewards. Promotion, wealth, and achievements will be made today. Sons and gentlemen, follow me and kill him."
He took the lead and rushed to the front.
The army under Yingbu's command consisted of six thousand elite soldiers. After this force entered the battlefield, the situation immediately reversed.
The Shu army was as powerful as a rainbow and kept counterattacking.
*There will be a decline.
When Su Dingfang saw the approaching Yingbo army, he did not panic at all. He calmly ordered a retreat and no longer wanted to fight. After Su Dingfang's order was issued, the army retreated like a tide.
When Yingbu saw the enemy retreating, he followed closely with his soldiers and quickly pursued him.
The distance between the two sides is always within forty steps.
Yingbu also noticed the strangeness of the pursuit situation. He specifically lowered the speed of the pursuit, but the enemy in front did not go far, and the distance was still maintained at about forty steps. And he accelerated the pursuit, and the distance was still maintained at about forty steps.
.
Yingbu discovered something strange about this situation.
"withdraw!"
After Yingbu discovered the problem, he immediately ordered a retreat.
The army retreated like a tide and left quickly.
When Su Dingfang was retreating, he found that the Shu army chasing him had retreated, and there was a look of surprise on his face. He was indeed preparing to ambush the Shu army when he retreated this time, but he didn't expect that he hadn't reached the ambush location yet.
, the other party withdrew.
Su Dingfang was also quite helpless about this.
He can't fight back either.
"Withdraw!"
Su Dingfang gave the order and continued to retreat with his soldiers. When they retreated about five miles, they arrived at the foot of a mountain. This place was surrounded by dense forests on both sides. Even in the coldest month of winter, the forest was still dense.
Yeah, I don't know if it's possible to ambush soldiers.
When Su Dingfang arrived, he ordered his soldiers to blow the trumpet to notify the ambush in the forest.
This time, it was Cheng Yaojin who was ambushing him.
He was responsible for coordinating the ambush of the Shu army to pursue Su Dingfang.
After Cheng Yaojin came out of the forest, he quickly came to Su Dingfang's side. He frowned and asked, "Dingfang, what's going on? You went to attack the Shu army stationed at the pass, didn't they pursue you?"
Su Dingfang said: "Follow me!"
Cheng Yaojin said: "Where are the people?"
Su Dingfang shrugged, with a helpless look, and explained: "The general led his troops to attack the Shu army. At that time, the general attacked with overwhelming strength, and indeed waited for the Shu army to come to the rescue. When the general retreated, the opponent also quickly retreated.
They chased me. But after the other party chased me for a certain distance, they immediately withdrew."
"Oh, what a pity!"
After Cheng Yaojin heard this, he was very sorry because he failed to attract the opponent to pursue him.
If the opponent is chasing you, you can ambush him once.
Cheng Yaojin said: "Since we are not chasing you, let's retreat."
"Here!"
Su Dingfang immediately agreed.
The two men led the army and quickly retreated to where Li Jing's army was stationed.
The two turned back about six miles to the west and entered a mountain forest. They soon came to an open space in the mountain forest and joined the army led by Li Jing.
Su Dingfang came to Li Jing and said: "General Manager, I am incompetent and failed to ambush successfully."
Li Jing asked: "What's going on?"
Su Dingfang immediately talked about his attack on the garrison and what happened during the retreat, and finally said: "The opponent chose to retreat after pursuing them for a while."
Li Jing squinted his eyes slightly and thought carefully.
Looking at Li Jing, he saw that the enemy had begun to pursue him, which showed that he had fallen into a trap.
Unfortunately, he retreated midway.
This is the strangest place.
After thinking for a while, Li Jing suddenly said: "Dingfang, when you led the army to retreat, did you always maintain approximately the same distance?"
"yes!"
Su Dingfang said: "In order to hold off the pursuing Shu army, the distance maintained by the general has always been about forty steps."
"That's where it gets bad."
Li Jing shook his head and said: "The leader of the opponent's army is not a reckless person. You have always maintained a distance of about forty steps. The opponent most likely slowed down and then accelerated to test your retreat. You
Always maintain a distance of about forty steps. The other party will think for a moment and know that there must be an ambush in front of you. Otherwise, it is impossible to maintain this distance all the time."
"ah!"
Su Dingfang exclaimed.
He thought about it and found that this was really the case.
When he retreated, he did find that the opponent's speed was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. However, Su Dingfang's mind was full of thoughts of retreat and ambush of the pursuers, so he did not go into details.
Now that I think about it carefully, I am totally wrong.
Unexpectedly, the other party discovered his intention early.
Su Dingfang looked slightly frustrated and said: "The general is incompetent. He obviously has a good deck of cards, but he actually broke it. If the general didn't care about the distance between the two sides when he retreated, I'm afraid he would have won this time."
Li Jing said: "It's okay, it's just that I didn't succeed. Next time, pay attention. You have to remember that a confrontation on the battlefield is not only a big scene of head-on fighting, but also small details. A war is not only
It’s just a superficial confrontation between the two armies, and there are countless details that need to be paid attention to.”
"I will obey the instructions of the Chief Administrative Officer!"
Su Dingfang nodded and answered.
But when he agreed, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
The more Li Jing didn't punish him, the more Su Dingfang felt sad inside.
Li Jing waved his hand and said: "Go down!"
"Here!"
Su Dingfang turned around and left.
Cheng Yaojin was on the side, lifted up his armor, sat down, and said: "Manager, this ambush plan has failed. What should we do next?"
Li Jing said: "After a short rest, we will repeat the same tactics. This time, we failed to capture the Shu army and weaken the opponent. Let's ambush again. Let's change the place and see what happens."
Cheng Yaojin nodded and said no more.
…
The area where Ying Bu led his army to station.
This is an open area with ample water around it, and the terrain is flat and open, making it difficult to be ambushed.
A place like this is suitable for stationing.
Inside the Chinese military tent.
Yingbu sat cross-legged casually, waiting for news from the sentry. Although he did not lead an army to chase the retreating Su Dingfang, during the retreat, Yingbu arranged for the sentry to catch up with him and catch up with him from a distance to find out the news.
.
Its purpose is to find out where the army is stationed.
The current situation is that it is not clear where Li Jing's garrison is located, so even if Wang Can has more troops and even if Wang Can takes the initiative, it will not be easy to wipe out Li Jing.
"call!!"
Suddenly, the tent door curtain was lifted.
A sentinel quickly entered the camp and reported: "General, we have discovered the location where the army is stationed."
Yingbu stood up immediately and asked: "Where is it?"
The sentry detective said: "The location where Li Jing is stationed is on the mountain of Yuqiu Mountain."
Yuqiu Mountain is where Li Jing was stationed.
The sentry took out the map. This was the map he had just drawn, marking how to reach Yuqiu Mountain.
After Yingbu read it, he asked: "Do you know how many troops Li Jing has?"
The sentry shook his head and said: "We did not dare to enter the mountains and forests of Yuqiu Mountain because we were worried that there would be soldiers arranged by Li Jing to inquire for information in the mountains and forests. In order not to alert others and avoid excessive risks, we came back directly to report the information.
"
"Yes, stability is the best."
Yingbu also nodded in approval.
Although Yingbu was indeed much worse than Peng Yue, Han Xin and others in terms of marching and formation, he also did a very good job in carrying out his mission and even reached the location where Li Jing was stationed.
After thinking for a while, Yingbu made a decision in his heart. He waved the sentry to retreat, wrote a letter, and then called for the soldiers. He asked the soldiers to rush back to Chengdu eight hundred miles away and asked Wang Can to make a decision.
To send out troops on a large scale, Wang Can must agree. (To be continued)
