After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 439 Mutual calculation
Jiagu is a good place to lay an ambush, Zhao Yang is now going to do the opposite, deliberately sell a loophole, and then defeat the Qi army in Jiagu.

After all, the Jin army is short of food now. If you want to fight dignifiedly, not to mention wasting time, you may run out of food because you persist for too long. By then, it will be too late to do anything. .

After thinking of this, Zhao Yang tightly gripped the hilt of his sword, turned around, and said to everyone.

"The matter has come to this, we must fight quickly, we can't delay here for too long, the Qi army now wants to defeat our army to gain prestige, then we will give them a great opportunity, so I decided to put the battlefield in Jiagu .”

Having said that, he cast his eyes on Shaoshizhou, and directly ordered.

"You lead the rest of the cavalry to set off immediately, bypass Jiagu and feel the rear of the Qi army. I will give you two days to arrive. You must pay attention to the movements of the Qi army along the way. If they come towards Jiagu Just ignore it."

At this time, Zhao Yang turned his head to look at You Liang again, and said with a sneer on his face.

"The valley is not conducive to chariot combat. When the time comes, order all our chariot soldiers to get out of the chariots and fight on foot. All the archers are concentrated in the back. Put those chariots in front according to the tactics used by Sun Wu to block the chariots." advance of soldiers."

"After their speed slows down, you lead people to fight out directly. Tian Chengzi thought that we would be able to take advantage of the opportunity if we were defeated in Lu State. Then this time, I will teach him a lesson he will never forget."

Zhao Yang is also learning and selling now. The layout of Sun Wu's chariot troops has a great effect on restricting cavalry. If this is the case, the effect on restricting chariot troops is also quite good, so just abandon the chariots.

Defeating the Qi army in this unexpected way is the only way to achieve the goal of a quick battle. After this failure, Zhao Yang seems to have become more confident, which makes Shao Shizhou and You Liang feel a lot more motivated .

Tian Chang arrived in Ai Ling two days later with a large army, and received the news that the soldiers from the Jin Kingdom had arrived near Jiagu. Said.

"You immediately send a large number of scouts to Jiagu to investigate. If you find any sign that the Jin army wants to pass, report back immediately. Such terrain is not conducive to chariot combat. When the time comes, you will immediately lead your troops to go around to their rear."

"Under our flanking attack, we will definitely be able to defeat the Jin army, and maybe even capture Zhao Jianzi alive. I will first send some soldiers and horses to ambush at the exit of Jiagu. As long as your speed is fast enough, then this time We must win."

The two sides basically chose the same tactics, but the way of fighting was changed. Tian Chang also felt that Jiagu was the key place for him to defeat Zhao Yang, because it was also the only choice for the Jin army.

The two sides of Jiagu are Yangguan and Yishui. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to fight against the Han army again. However, if you want to cross Yishui, you will waste more time. .

The Jin army's supplies were insufficient, so they didn't dare to do this. If they could pass Jiagu smoothly, they would be not far from Linzi. The nearby cities were quite rich, and a casual sweep would allow the Jin army to get supplies.

Two days later, the Jin army chose to enter Jiagu, and the Qi army who had already ambushed rushed out, but the Jin army in front of it was very decisive and wanted to retreat. At the same time, it gave up its chariots and drove them Placed horizontally in front of the formation.

Three lines of defense were laid out in one breath, which was obviously a plan prepared in advance for being attacked, because the number of Qi troops ambushing was not too large, they did not choose to charge directly, but returned to Tian Chang quickly.

After he arrived with the army, he was not surprised by this. After all, Zhao Yang is a man who knows how to fight, how could he enter Jiagu without a corresponding defensive strategy?
So Tian Chang directly chose to camp on the spot and defend Taniguchi. He had to wait for Gao Wupi to hear the good news from behind. In this case, the Jin army could only rush forward to fight them.

Although the cavalry is very mobile, it is still a bit of a disadvantage to fight in the valley. Tian Chang would not use his own cavalry to charge directly, but the small-scale pick-up station has not stopped.

The Jin army resisted very tenaciously. Tian Chang simply let the army retreat slightly, but the Jin army was firmly guarding Taniguchi, and steadily pushed its front forward. This style of play made Tian Chang feel a little uncomfortable. .

The main reason is that the car formation in front is too dense for the cavalry to rush through, and there are valleys on both sides. In this case, it would be impossible for the cavalry to fight, so the two sides came to a stalemate.

When it was getting late, Tian Chang frowned and looked at the map, thinking about what to do next. At this moment, he suddenly felt a tremor in the ground. A military lord rushed in and reported.

"Xiangguo, something bad is going on, the Jin army sneaked into our camp, and now it has entered the back camp."

This made Tian Chang unable to react for a while, his eyes were full of doubts.

"The rear battalion? Could it be that these Jin troops can't fly? How did they go around to our rear through Jiagu?"

The military marquis was anxious all over his face, swallowed hard his saliva, and then hurriedly said.

"Cavalry, those are the cavalry of the Jin army!"

As soon as Tian Chang heard this, he immediately understood what happened. It was obviously Zhao Yang's plan to use his main force as bait to attract him here, because they were all in the valley.

The scouts of the Qi army can only confirm that the main force of the Jin army is here, but they ignore one point, that is, although Jin was defeated, it also has cavalry in its hands. number.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have a very good attack effect, Tian Chang said immediately after thinking of this.

"Put on armor! Let's fight!"

When he put on his armor and walked out of the big tent, the back camp was already on fire, which made Tian Chang very anxious, and immediately ordered the messengers to order each camp to defend on the spot, and he was not allowed to go out to fight without authorization. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed. amnesty.

However, at this moment, a sound of horns was heard from far away. Tian Chang turned his head and saw that it was in the direction of the valley. I'm afraid it's hard to say what happened!
