Chapter four hundred and eighty sixth ambush preparation
This is basically a 4-choose one ratio. The 800 people recruited by Yan Liqiang are originally stronger than ordinary people. Those who can be selected in such a contest are definitely the best among young people. In Zhou Yong's words, the average combat power of these selected young people is definitely greater than that of most ordinary soldiers in Pingxi City.
Yan Liqiang didn't think that he could cultivate an invincible cavalry in one month. His purpose was to make these people come in handy. At critical moments, he could help him restrain the enemy for a moment.
Yan Liqiang then fulfilled the reward he had promised, and sent 200 rhinoceros dragon horses, 200 sets of armor and bow weapons. On the first time in his life, the young people with their own war horses, armor and war bows were extremely angry the next day, when Yan Liqiang took these 200 people, riding rhinoceros dragon horses, carrying bows, and arrows, and disappeared into the night, heading straight to the border between Ganzhou and Yinzhou.
With these more than 200 people, there were more than 30 four-wheeled carriages prepared by the Manufacturing Bureau and about 60 soldiers in the Manufacturing Bureau led by Zhou Yong. Among these more than 30 large carriages, they were pulling supplies, arrows, tents, and Yan Liqiang's long spear of Longji Steel. Because the spear was too heavy, if Yan Liqiang held the spear in his hand, the dark clouds and snow under his crotch would be suppressed and unable to run, so the spear could only be taken away on the four-wheeled carriage.
Yan Liqiang, who brought these people to Ganzhou and Yinzhou border, did not stop at the border, but went directly deep into hundreds of miles of Yinzhou. Then he hid in the deserted mountains, explored the terrain, selected places for ambush, and made various preparations and targeted training, waiting nervously for the arrival of the troops from the Northwest Transportation Office.
...
At noon on September 26, Yan Liqiang led Zhou Yong, Shi Dafeng, Shen Teng and Chang Kuan to four people lying behind the pile of stones on the ridge of a valley, pointing to the slope 300 meters ahead of him, which could lead to this side, which was less than twenty meters wide, and said to a few people, "The valley below is a road from Yinzhou to Ganzhou. There are not many caravans walking this road, because it is desolate and there were often bandits in the past, but I judged that the soldiers and horses of the Transportation Yamen would definitely take this road, because this road is closest to Ganzhou. Taking this road can allow the cavalry of the Transportation Yamen to go around more than 200 miles less, saving the cavalry for most of the day and time for those people
After receiving the news, we sent troops to Ganzhou. We must be murderous and we wished we could fly over with wings. In addition, there were many people, so we were not afraid of any robbers who were blinded on the road, so we would definitely take this road. We just set up an ambush here and caught them off guard. When the ambush began, the cavalry of the Transportation Office found that the front and back roads in the valley were cut off, so we would definitely want to rush up from here to the mountain. Your mission is not to rush down and fight with them, but to help me guard this slope with bows and arrows, and not to let someone rush up to disturb me. You just need to help me keep the half-incense stick here, and we will definitely win this battle..."
