Chapter 98: Assault

Of course, Chu Xuan was not a stupid general. On the contrary, he was an extremely experienced and smart general. Even though this raid was not a difficult thing to him, he still implemented the military law in a stern manner. This made the Xinyuehu, who was reconnaissing the enemy's movements, unable to get close at all, and could only watch the team from afar and advance all the way towards Baizhangyan.

It was not until this time that Li Ze truly understood how correct the judgments of Tu Lichun, Shi Zhuang and others were. If he followed his own style and made an arrogance, he would have been discovered by Chu Xuan long ago, and it would not be certain who would destroy who in the end.

Although you have many people, in such an environment, it will test the combat ability of individual soldiers and the tolerance of soldiers. Whoever can't withstand heavy casualties and collapses first will fail.

At this point, Li Ze did not think that his former farmers who had just been exposed to serious military training could compete with the opponent's elite soldiers and generals.

Baizhangyan is indeed the only place where you can ambush your opponent.

In fact, it was the same. When Chu Xuan's team came to this place, he was indeed relieved. It was not an ordinary difficulty for a cavalry team to march in the mountains. As a cavalry general, he did not have such experience in walking among the mountains. When he saw such a wide place, he instinctively relaxed.

Of course, Baizhang Rock, facing a cliff, is not as high as a hundred feet, but it is indeed unattainable. He is not worried about someone ambushing it on it, unless the person is stupid. In such a high place, even if you shoot arrows on it, it will probably become a free fall in the end, and the destructive power will only be known. Of course, you can throw stones from above, but in such a wide place, would he be so stupid that he asked the troops to station at the stream under the rock?

Of course, you have to be far away. If you can throw the stone from above to the place where he camps and rests, it is not a human but a god. As for the other side, there is a slanted gentle slope, which is very long. The most wonderful thing is that there are only some weeds growing on the surface, and there are no dense forests. Not long after winter, the withered plants and trees that are overwhelmed by snow are now slowly rotting, turning into the nutrients that extract green new life. Looking at the place where Chu Yan stood, the shallow green layer was spread on the gentle slope like a newly weaved green blanket, mixed with many black and white embellishments, and some big or small stones scattered on it.

Now is the season when winter goes and spring comes, and everything is reviving. If there is no military service, in such a quiet mountain, watching dead trees meet the spring, watching wild flowers compete for beauty, and listening to birds and insects, is also a kind of enjoyment in life.

But at the moment, I can only take a quick look at the flowers and grass, and as for my mood, it is naturally not all about it.

With the 100 cavalry of the Zhu army, Chu Xiantong led a total of 400 cavalry. The gathering of 400 infantry may be inconspicuous, but if it were 400 cavalry, the scale would be considerable.

The troops stopped in an orderly manner, and naturally there were scouts continuing to explore forward. Even on the gentle slope, two scouts rode over to climb to the top of the slope to see a clue. The cavalry left on the open space below began to run in groups to the stream in sequence, scooped back water with their helmets, feeding their war horses first, and then having a drink of pleasure. Marines in the mountains, less riding on horses, and more often leading horses, which was also a hard journey for these soldiers. Once they rested, many people sat on the ground and began to rub their calves hard to relax.

Chu Xuan sat on the saddle and was also relaxing his legs. As a cavalry general, he rarely walked such mountain roads. His personal soldiers used a bamboo tube to pack the stream water for him. While drinking, he looked at his troops. Next to him was Zhu Hui, the general of Zhu army, sat.

The quality of the troops brought by Zhu Hui is average, which can be seen from the discipline they have been walking along. At this time, they were stationed to rest, and everyone rushed to the edge of the stream, and the people squeezed into the stream to drink water, forcing their troops to fetch water upstream.

Compared with them, their teams are much more orderly, and they are very pleasing to the eye when they come and go in a tidy manner.

Of course, the different tasks determine the different attitudes of both sides. The task he received from the governor was to kill all the people in the village without leaving any chickens and dogs. As for money, secondly, according to the agreement, the money in the village belongs to Zhu Jun's subordinates. But Chu Xuan certainly would not prohibit his soldiers from obtaining some extra benefits after the battle. This is reasonable, otherwise, how can he inspire the morale of the soldiers? It is not too much for his subordinates to have some small heads.

For him, the hundred cavalry brought by Zhu Hui was not only here to help him fight, but not to say that they were here to move money. Of course, they could not have too high requirements. If it were his own direct troops, he would have been going to marching long ago.

Fortunately, they were still very well-trained during the march.

Of course, Chu Xuan would not underestimate Henghai's army because of this, thinking that Henghai's army was at this level. He had seen Liu Chenglin's subordinates, and that was a powerful army that would never lose to Chengde's elite.

Drinking water and gnawing on the cake, Chu Xian silently thought about this mission. As Suning's old subordinate, he was naturally clear about the grudges between the two families of King Su, but at that time he was just an unknown little officer. Wang's attack was not on his turn. If he had had his current status at that time, he would be alone now.

There is nothing wrong with having tooth for tooth and blood for blood. Chu Xuan was slightly a little bit angry, so he shouldn't have started at this time and was about to fight Lu Long, but the governor sent him and 300 elite troops to do this. It was indeed a bit inseparable from public and private affairs, and he was abolished by private affairs.

Of course, he just thought about it. As Suning’s confidant general, obedience was his only choice.

Before he could swallow the cake, a loud sound came. He turned around in shock and countless stones fell on the Baizhang Rock. Zhu Hui's troops, who were unprepared in the stream, were immediately affected. At least a dozen people and horses were hit by the falling stones on it and fell into the stream. The clear stream immediately turned red.

There is really an ambush!

He stood up suddenly and threw away the cakes and bamboo tubes in his hand.

Zhu Hui's troops ran out of the stream in a panic, but Chu Xian's troops had already completed the assembly at this moment. Everyone turned over and pulled out the sabre at the first time.

Chu Xuan's eyes just glanced at Baizhangyan, and then he turned his eyes to the two whistles running towards the top of the slope in the distance. The loud noise behind them alarmed them. They turned their horses and looked back at the garrison. At this moment, a big man appeared on the top of the slope, and with a sharp roar, the two whistles that turned around fell off their horses.

With two attacks connected, a banner with the word "Li" was raised on the slope top in the distance, and countless heads emerged from there, forming a neat lineup on the top of the slope. Just a glance, Chu Xuan took a breath of cold air. Just what appeared in front of him was afraid that there would be more than a thousand people.

Of course, the enemy is not just this kind of person, and no general can put all his troops in front of the enemy.

The sound of horse hooves in front of him suddenly sounded. Chu Xuan saw that several empty horses were running back, only one of them was on the body, and a whistle rider was lying on the back of the horse, with several arrows inserted in his vest, and blood staining his armor red.

The injured whistle rider fell in front of Chu Xuan's horse and tried hard to raise his head, "General Chu, there is an ambush in front of him, and the road is blocked."

Chu Xuan took a deep breath.

"General Chu, the news is leaked. The other party is ready. Let's go back first!" Zhu Hui said hurriedly.

"Person Zhu, the road has been blocked by the front of him. Have they forgotten to block our retreat? Have you forgotten the terrain of Baizhangyan?" He looked at the gentle slope that was slanted upward not far away, "I'm afraid we have no other way out except there."

"Who are they?" Zhu Hui asked in fear.

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "It's no big deal, it's just some temporary soldiers. Most of them probably put down their hoes. Except for a few leaders who are a little difficult to deal with, the others are not worth mentioning."

"really?"

"If this is not the case, your lieutenant Zhu Jun will send you here?" Chu Xuan glanced at Zhu Hui and sneered: "Don't look at them looking at the stern military appearance, really fight, hehe!"

Zhu Hui was immediately excited. He was also an old military service. Of course, he knew the gap between the soldiers and the soldiers in the palace. Before leaving, Zhu Jun also vaguely revealed to him some of the people he was going to deal with this time.

"General Chu, let me go to this front. My troops were plotted against by them. I have to kill some people to vent their anger for them." Zhu Hui gritted his teeth.

"General Zhu wants to take the lead in attacking? Isn't that good? You are helping us." Chu Xuan flattened his mouth, but his tone was obviously a bit contemptuous.

"General Chu, please think about it. We Henghai Army is not made of paper and mud!" Zhu Hui couldn't stand this anger. With a shout, the remaining cavalry immediately gathered in front of him, and with a shout, he charged towards the gentle slope in the distance.

Chu Xuan looked at Zhu Hui's troops rushing towards the bottom of the slope coldly, and did not feel happy because he instigated this guy to explore his way. He wanted to turn his back on his heart.

The ambush in this place chosen by the enemy shows that the other party is quite familiar with the army's habits and he is indeed careless. I hope the enemy's combat effectiveness is only at the level of the mansion's soldiers, otherwise this time, I'm afraid I will be in some trouble.
