The era of all the princes

Chapter 256 Ambush

"Brothers, feed the water slowly, don't let the horse drink too fast." Xiang Tianyu commanded the cavalry who stopped to rest in a gentle voice.

The soldiers all respected and saluted, obviously treating Xiang Tianyu better than the leader Pang Long.

This is not only because of Xiang Tianyu's reputation, but also because his boss is really stupid. After dispatching troops, he ran all the way for a long time. If Xiang Tianyu didn't dissuade him, he might have rushed to Qingyang directly.

I really don't know what's going on in my head?This is going to war, what will happen to a group of tired soldiers on the battlefield?You really don't care about anything for the sake of your family's business, right?
"Drink the water and let the horse rest for a while before feeding. Don't feed too much. You will have to go on your way later." Xiang Tianyu carefully told everyone, with a stern expression, just telling some common things, obviously very measured, and did not win over What the soldier meant, Pang Long looked at it from a distance and put down his guard a little bit.

But they don't know that even this simple instruction has made Xiang Tianyu's image in the army even better. This is the contrast effect, and many things are afraid of comparing goods.

Looking at the sky, Xiang Tianyu walked up to Pang Long, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, General, Qingyang is not that easy to be captured. We will arrive at midnight at the most according to our pace, and then we can repair for a while. Looking for an opportunity to launch an attack before dawn may have a miraculous effect."

Seeing this sincere suggestion, Pang Long nodded again and again: "Brother Xiang is right, someone is anxious."

He was also quite scared, and kept going on the road in a hurry. When he stopped, he found that his horse was almost dehydrated. If he really collided with the enemy, he might not even have a chance to run.

After calming down, he found that the other party didn't take the opportunity to win people's hearts, and he immediately felt good about it. It seems that Xiang Tianyu is now in this field for no reason, and he is too straightforward.

There is no harm in attracting such a person, maybe there is a chance to lure Lu Daxing.
Just as they were thinking, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the two looked quickly. Xiang Tianyu had excellent eyesight, and immediately saw that it was the scout he had sent out earlier.

"How is the front?" Pang Long asked first.

"General, the front is unimpeded, and there is no sign of an ambush"

"Is there any careful investigation?" Pang Long asked again.

The scout was taken aback, what does this mean?Could it be possible for me to perfunctorily investigate such a matter of life?
Moreover, this road is an official road in the past, and there are no huge bunkers like valleys on both sides. If there is an ambush, he will not be able to see it?My own group is five thousand cavalry, not fifty cavalry, and there are no tens of thousands of people who can be called ambush?Is there an ambush in such terrain that he can't see?

"General, this subordinate confirms that there is no ambush!" The scout's words became a little stiff.

Pang Long frowned, but Xiang Tianyu waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's hard work, go over there and have a rest."

"Thank you sir" the other party saluted, did not continue to take care of Pang Long, and left directly.

Before Pang Long could react, Xiang Tianyu said, "It's not quite right."

The rudeness of a soldier was instantly forgotten by Pang Long, and he quickly asked, "What did Brother Xiang find?"

Xiang Tianyu opened the map, pointed to the route and said, "The terrain along the way, the most suitable place to arrange an ambush is the Daozhen County area ahead. That location extends in all directions, and it is most suitable for cavalry to charge, and can outflank us from both wings."

Pang Long nodded. The road from Tianshui to Qingyang was flat and there were very few mountains. It was impossible to ambush through the narrow terrain as in the traditional way, so he also disdained Xiang Tianyu's so-called ambush at first.

As the other party said, the Daozhen area ahead is already a very suitable place for an ambush. If you miss it, there will be no outflanking terrain along the way. It is impossible to keep them who are purely cavalry.

"Perhaps that thief Wang Bainian didn't think that we would go first as cavalry!" Pang Long laughed.

Xiang Tianyu's eyelids twitched, this kind of sixth child can also become the second in command of Tianshui City, it is really a hero made by the times
Who is so quick to support, not the cavalry first?
In fact, according to his thinking, the best ambush route is the area in Liuyang County, which is an intersection. The opponent can arrange ambushes in two small towns in advance, send scouts along the way to detect their whereabouts, and use flying pigeons to deliver messages .

When they passed the fork in the Liuyang land boundary, they launched an attack.

At that time, I didn't say that it was because I was expecting this to happen. At that time, the cavalry was still physically strong, and the horses were not as good as they are now. As long as the command authority is given to him, he is sure to lead the soldiers to break through in such an open terrain. of.

But in the chaos army, finding an opportunity to let Pang Long die naturally is not too simple.

But the journey along the way was extremely peaceful, so peaceful that Xiang Tianyu felt unreal for a while.

Did that guy Wang Bainian really plan to ambush Tianshui's reinforcements?

Impossible, according to my own understanding, Wang Bainian has great ambitions, it is impossible to choose such a good opportunity to only seek to win Qingyang, the best strategy is currently the best strategy!

he shouldn't miss it
Xiang Tianyu's heart turned sharply, and a sense of uneasiness rose from his heart. Such an abnormality made him feel that something was wrong.

"Brother Xiang?" Pang Long looked at Xiang Tianyu whose expression was getting serious, and asked curiously, "But what did you think of?"

Xiang Tianyu shook his head. He didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say in a low voice: "Even if there is no ambush ahead, it's best for the soldiers to rest before going on the road, and keep in the best condition."

"Brother Xiang is right." Pang Long patted the other party's shoulder with a smile, and secretly laughed in his heart. When the other party was in Tianshui, he said with certainty that Wang Bainian would target their Tianshui reinforcements. Now it seems that there is no such thing?

It is estimated that the judgment is wrong and it feels a little embarrassing.

Forget it, give him a step down, and let him take on the responsibility of the lieutenant for himself more honestly
Just as he was about to speak, there was another sound of horseshoes, and he frowned and turned his head. Xiang Tianyu's eyelids twitched, and with his excellent eyesight, he recognized at a glance that it was a close call arranged by himself.

"Reporting" the soldier's face was anxious, and when he got off his horse, he was unsteady and fell, Xiang Tianyu quickly stepped forward to help him: "What's the situation?"

The soldier hurriedly said: "There are enemy troops approaching in the distance, and they are fighting the black dragon flag of Jiulong Island!"

"Oh?"

"Everyone get on their horses and prepare for battle!" Pang Long shouted at the top of his voice, frightening a group of soldiers who didn't even dare to take a sip of water and got on their horses one after another.

On the other hand, Xiang Tianyu frowned. He searched in a straight line from a far sentry, but found no ambushes. It didn't take long for the close sentry to find out. This proves that the ambush did not come from a straight line, but from the official road in the small town around Daozhen.

Since the soldiers were placed in that position, why not wait for them to enter Daozhen before encircling them from the rear?
What's the point of coming out at this time?And the ambush was obviously not cavalry, because he didn't hear the rush of horseshoes from a long distance.

What's the point of this ambush?
and many more
Suddenly, Xiang Tianyu seemed to think of something, and looked back suddenly!
