Lord Moyu was forced to open

"Report!!!"

"General, according to the reports from the scouts, the enemy army has arrived in Hexi County.

According to his marching route, he will arrive at the junction of Hexi County and Huangshan Mansion in one day! "

In the big tent, Li Dingguo immediately turned his head to look at the marching map on the wall after listening to the report from the scout. The baton in his hand was pointed at Hexi County, where the Zhao family army is now, and the route passed by the information was still drawn all the way to Huangshan Mansion. Pass.

Suddenly, the baton came to a sudden stop on the way, and Li Dingguo touched his chin and asked: "I remember this is a terrain with a line of sky, right?"

Li Yungong, the commander of the first battalion beside him, immediately replied:
"Exactly, this place is called Rift Valley Cliff by the locals. If you want to come to Huangshan Mansion from Hexi County, this is the easiest place to pass through. If you don't go here, other places are rolling hills, which makes it difficult for an army. The baggage in the camp will also be extremely difficult to transport.

It only takes half a day to walk this rift cliff, but if you take other routes, it will take at least three days. "

"It's a good place to ambush!"

Li Dingguo touched his chin and said.

Li Yungong immediately frowned and said in disapproval: "General, although this place is easy to ambush, as long as the opponent's general is not a fool, he will definitely pay more attention here. Is it difficult to ambush here?"

Li Dingguo smiled slightly and said: "The enemy general must have the same thought as you, but this general will do the opposite.

Thus, generally the best way to ambush here is to intercept the opponent at the beginning of the interruption.

We didn't agree, and then I took [-] infantry and placed them here at the exit of the Rift Valley Cliff to block them. The rest of the cavalry waited behind the infantry, and rushed in directly after the infantry finished firing arrows.

In addition, the remaining [-] infantry detoured to the back of Zhao's army early, and blocked the road from behind after they passed the middle section. Don't let their remaining soldiers run away!

Attacking from both sides, they were about to be completely wiped out on this rift valley cliff! "

Li Yungong nodded after hearing this, and taking advantage of the terrain, he could indeed occupy a great advantage in doing so.

But he still has a question.

"General, don't our troops at Taniguchi need to ambush?"

Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "No need, I will tell them plainly that we are waiting for them in front, and let them think that we plan to fight head-on with them!"

"Why?" Li Yungong was puzzled, but Li Dingguo smiled and said:
"Did you forget the three thousand infantry we sent around the cliff?

As a qualified general, when a large army walks on this terrain, an elite team will definitely be sent above the cliff to investigate the situation ahead.

The general will lead the troops directly to block the opening in front of him, and the opponent will inevitably relax his vigilance.

In this way, our detour manpower can have the opportunity to go behind the opponent without anyone noticing and cut off the opponent's retreat. "

Now Li Yungong understood, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"The end will understand!"

Immediately, Li Dingguo directly began to order: "I will give you half a day to prepare. After noon today, the whole army will march towards the mouth of the Rift Valley. We will wait for the opponent to come and fight with them at the mouth of the valley.

Li Yungong! "

Li Dingguo called out.

"The end is here!"

"I will give you [-] pawns. I will detour and ambush at the top of the rift valley one day in advance. After the formation has attracted most of the opponent's attention, you will immediately go around behind the opponent to block the opponent's retreat. Is there any problem?"

"No problem, the last general takes orders!"

Li Dingguo nodded, and then instructed: "Because the road ahead is blocked, retreating after the opponent's failure must be the opponent's only escape route, so your mission is very heavy, and the opponent will definitely attack your department at all costs. We It is uncertain to what extent the opponent can be weakened here.

So when the time comes, no matter how many people the opponent has, you must firmly block the opponent's retreat and win the arrival of our pursuers.

During this period, you don't have any support and can only support independently. You must be mentally prepared! "

Li Yungong immediately gave a military salute and replied loudly:
"Please rest assured, general, even if we fight to the last person, we will be firmly stuck in place like a rock. Unless we die, we will never let an enemy pass by.

If there is a violation, the general will be willing to be punished by military law! "

"it is good!"

Li Dingguo responded with satisfaction, and then began to assign combat missions to others.

"Borhardt, after the front army interrupts the opponent's morale, you will lead all the cavalry to break the opponent's formation. Is there any problem?"

"No! Please rest assured, General! Borhard has definitely completed the task!"

"Zhou Long, your department..."

……

After everything was settled, everyone went down and prepared to go.

At the same time, Tian Cheng, the leader of Zhao's army who had just left Hexi County, was also discussing with his lieutenant about Rift Valley Cliff.

"General, the terrain here is extremely suitable for ambushes. The general concludes that the opponent will definitely ambush our army here. General, do you think we should take a detour instead of going this way? This place is really too dangerous."

Looking at the terrain of the Rift Valley Cliff, Tian Cheng's deputy general didn't need to hide the sadness in his eyes, and tried his best to dissuade his general, wanting to go to other safer places.

Unexpectedly, Tian Cheng had a different opinion, and only listened to him:

"Even you can know that this is an ambush, do you think we will guess if the enemy can't guess?

I reckon that the other party has a high probability that they won't set up an ambush here at all! "

"But what if the other party really set up an ambush here?" The deputy general expressed his worry.

Then Tian Cheng smiled and said: "Of course it's impossible for the general to block this kind of thing, we can first send a small group of troops to explore five miles forward on the rift valley cliff to check the situation ahead.

If there is nothing wrong, the rear army will move forward again. "

"In this way, it is indeed a way. If you make a detour, not to mention the difficult road, even those hilly places are very likely to be ambushed by the enemy."

The deputy general accepted Tian Cheng's explanation, and the two chief generals reached a consensus, and then the 1 Zhao family army went straight to the Rift Valley Cliff.

The sun rose and the moon set, day and night passed, and Zhao Jiajun finally came to the mouth of the rift valley.

Standing at the entrance, looking at the surrounding towering cliffs and the narrow passage in the middle, Tian Cheng couldn't help feeling again that this is indeed a good place to lay an ambush.

Out of caution, after sending a few small teams to the top of the cliff to investigate the situation ahead, Tian Cheng sent a forward army of about a thousand people to enter the Rift Valley Cliff first.

The remaining 1 people in Zhao's army entered the passage of the Rift Valley Cliff after the forward army advanced about five miles and got confirmation from the investigation team that the front was safe.

The towering cliffs and narrow passages on both sides brought great psychological pressure to the soldiers of the Zhao family army.

Everyone was extremely vigilant when they first entered the passage.

But when the army reached the middle of the Rift Valley Cliff, and there was still no abnormality, the soldiers of the Zhao family army breathed a sigh of relief.

Tian Cheng also basically concluded that he seemed to have guessed the opponent's mind, and the opponent didn't think that he and others would go this way at all, so he didn't set up an ambush here.

I couldn't help but secretly feel grateful for my foresight in my heart.

This wave of enemies is on the second floor, but I have already reached the third floor, so I have the advantage!
