Four hundred and twentieth chapters grab the head
Zhu Bao naturally did not expect that someone would set up an ambush at his doorstep. The scouts and provocateurs were not in a hurry to send them out. The siege was close to Jianning, but Jianlan was more than 400 miles away from Jianning. Zhu Bao hoped to arrive at Jianning as soon as possible and work with Yong Kai and Gao Ding to defeat Liu Yi. He had no deep hatred for Liu Yi, so he just wanted to drive Liu Yi out of Nanzhong and establish himself in various places. As for entering Shuzhong, Zhu Bao did not have this idea for the time being.
This wall is located between the cracks surrounded by mountains. After leaving the city, all you see is the mountains. Not to mention that Liu Yi has thirty miles away, even if Liu Yi pushes his troops around Qilan, it is difficult to detect it without sending scouts. Even if he sends scouts, if the scouts are not experienced enough or are negligent, it is unlikely to notice it.
After the army entered the mountain stream, the originally neat formation began to change. From the top of the mountain, it spread forward like a long snake, but this was not considered a long snake formation. The limitations of the terrain made such a team unable to look at each other from beginning to end, especially when passing by some extremely narrow roads.
However, such places are not suitable for setting up ambush, because they cannot accommodate too many ambush and are more likely to be exposed. Of course, if you have enough time to set up ambush on the mountain without pursuing the thief to capture the king first, in such a place, rolling wooden stones and throwing them down can maximize the killing of the enemy.
The premise is that you have to be able to find a way up the mountain, and Liu Yi’s goal is to suppress rebellion rather than kill. After all, these soldiers are nominally considered their own soldiers, with too many casualties, and the potential for war on Liu Bei’s side is to destroy Liu Bei’s side. Therefore, from the beginning, Liu Yi’s strategy was to kill the main evil, and the followers could reduce the crimes according to their crimes and maintain the population to the greatest extent.
In such a vast and sparsely populated place, 20,000 troops could be gathered, and most of them were recruiting young and middle-aged people. If they were too much, it would easily lead to the lack of Han people in the entire Han Dynasty, which was not conducive to promoting the integration of Han and Manchus in the future.
...
"These county and state soldiers are so fucking slow!" Zhang Bao spit out the grass roots that had been chewed in his mouth. According to the news from the scout, the possibility of the other party's army reaching here today is very low, which also means that they cannot live in a comfortable barracks or city tonight, but stay here for one night.
Fortunately, it is February, even if you can see green plants all year round, there are not too many mosquitoes, otherwise you will suffer this night.
Now Zhang Bao really wants to find Zhu Bao, and he carried the other party and asked carefully. How did he do it after less than thirty miles a day? I heard that the king had crossed the river with his people at a speed that was almost catching up with these people.
"General, why don't you go back and have some rest and come tomorrow?" The accompanying general asked in a low voice. Even though the enemy is still a distance away from here, he still kept communicating in a low voice during the communication. It is not important that you don't speak. Liu Yi chose to spend a month focusing on training the discipline of this barbarian soldier. Now it seems that it is very effective.
"Fart!" Zhang Bao cursed in a low voice: "Hid everything be safe. If you startle the other party, how can you ambush it? Tell everyone that you are not allowed to make a fire. If you want to take over at night, crawl over for me. If you are bad, be careful that I will suck you!"
The distance between the two sides is only a few miles away. If Zhu Bao was more alert and sent a scout here, any movement here would be easily discovered.
"Here!"
The barbarian general had no choice but to nod, climb back and pass the orders, and a thousand men waited quietly in the forest. Fortunately, these barbarian soldiers were used to mountain life and had a set of mountain life experience. If it were the Han army, they would have suffered that night.
"Marty Ting, why don't we steal the camp?" Liu Yi brought people in the rear and did not set up camp. Liu Yi was also worried about exposing his target, so that night, he also chose to sleep in the open. After Meng Yan arranged the soldiers, he returned to Liu Yi and asked in a low voice.
Liu Yi silently took a bite of the meat muffin, looked at Meng Yan after hearing this, shook his head and said, "It's not worth it, it's the easiest to explode this night."
"Isn't it good?" Meng Yan said in confusion. Isn't it easier to defeat the other party if the camp is bombed?
"This terrain really exploded the camp. 20,000 people were headless and flies. Our people might be trampled to death." Liu Yi took a sip of water and ate a meat muffin, while explaining vaguely: "The final casualties may be similar to directly fighting with the opponent. These are all county and state soldiers, and they are rebellious. People will have some confidence in their hearts. If they encounter a surprise attack, it is easy to choose to surrender. However, if the casualties are severe and the casualties are severe, it is easy to block the opponent's way."
Meng Yan nodded silently when he heard this. This is indeed the truth. Liu Yi said it very clearly at the beginning. Those who can surrender will not be killed if they can.
This night was a bit painful for Liu Yi, who rarely stayed up late. No matter what, he was the commander of the three armies. He had to set an example in some way.
As the morning light was first dewed, the morning breeze blew across the mountains with a cold air. Liu Yi shivered, looked at the smoke rising from the distance, took two guards to the heights, took off his bamboo telescope from his waist, and through the telescope, he could see that the military camp had already started to make food. I think it was not too far away when I came to send troops.
Last night, Lu Lingqi did not launch a city stealing, which made Liu Yi feel relieved. Her wife still has a good attitude towards war and should have found that there was no fight here, so she did not alert the enemy.
The Liuying Army was obviously used to slow-paced life. They ate breakfast until the end of the day. Even though Liu Yi was gentle, he was speechless at this moment. He didn't know that he thought that more than 20,000 people came to travel in groups.
After a while of procrastination, the army finally began to move slowly. Liu Yi silently hung the telescope back to his waist and said to Meng Yan beside him: "Get ready!"
"Here!" Meng Yan intervened and went to gather troops.
On the other side, Zhang Bao, who had already prepared, looked at the army of swaying slowly from the distance, unconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, and there was a faint flame burning in his eyes. That night, he survived it with his youth and good health. At this moment, his hatred for Zhu Bao had reached its peak. Although the two sides had never met, this did not affect his hatred for Zhu Bao.
He was quite incompetent and was very worried. He drank the wind all night in this barren mountain and ridge. He wanted to kill someone now!
The army almost slowly passed by his eyelids, and Zhang Bao did not move, just like a tiger lurking in secret to observe the weakness of his prey, waiting for the weakest point of the enemy to appear.
Zhu Bao's handsome flag appeared in his sight. Zhang Bao slowly raised the spear in his hand, waiting for the handsome flag to move in his sight. When the other party passed by, it was not for sale. Guan Xing blocked the road in front and took action in front, and he would only come out from behind, without giving Zhu Bao any chance to escape. Today he would use his spear, not poking more than a dozen or twenty holes on the other party's body, which would not relieve the overwhelming anger in his heart.
With a gong, chaos appeared in front of him. A man came out of the slanting thorn and instantly cut off the army of the siege. Zhang Bao, who had already been unable to control himself, saw that the spear in front of him was taking action. He immediately waved the spear in his hand.
With a slap of arrows, he rose into the air and landed in the panic crowd. In an instant, a piece of them fell down. Zhang Bao turned over the horse, and the flames in his eyes almost really burned. He roared at the top of his throat: "Kill me!"
The evil fire that had been held in the night seemed to be completely released at this moment. The war horses sitting down seemed to be able to feel the master's anger and ran like a joyful hooves. The barbarian soldiers behind him showed their bodies, holding their own weapons, making strange shouts, followed closely behind Zhang Bao, and rushed into the crowd.
The soldiers of the county dynasty were in a daze and instinctively wanted to face the enemy.
"Get out!" The spear swung, forming a bow shape, causing a scream. Several spears that pricked themselves were directly broken by huge force. The violent force hit the person and directly threw the soldiers approaching.
The main general was so brave that the barbarian soldiers behind him were also inspired. They roared and rushed into the crowd one by one, swung the weapons in their hands and swung down at the county soldiers blocking their way forward.
These county soldiers have been dealing with barbarians all year round, and they cannot be said to have no combat power. However, this is the first time that they have seen such a fierce barbarian soldier. In addition, they are attacked on both sides at the same time. For a moment, they don’t know how many people there are on the other side. At least in part, the county soldiers of the county did not have the numerical advantage, and their morale was suppressed, and they were soon killed and defeated.
Under the commander-in-chief, Zhu Bao looked at the army that was in chaos in an instant and the soldiers in red armor, and felt a little panicked. He never dreamed that there would be an ambush in this place.
"Stop him!" In the crowd, Guan Xing slapped a long sword. Wherever he passed, the sword light was sharp and no one could stop him, which was particularly eye-catching. Seeing that the other party rushed towards him, Zhu Bao hurriedly directed the soldiers forward, trying to stop Guan Xing.
At this moment, the rear was in chaos. Zhang Bao rushed forward like a human-shaped beast in the chaos. The blood covered his original face, but it became even more ferocious.
With attacks from front to back, Zhu Bao didn't even have a place to escape.
The confidant general led his man forward, but was cut off by Guan Xing. Zhang Bao on the other side even killed Zhu Bao as if he had entered a no-man state.
"Don't steal, the head is mine!" Guan Xing was dissatisfied when he saw Zhang Bao approaching. After killing the enemy general, he hurriedly urged his horse to kill Zhu Bao.
"First come first served!" Zhang Bao roared proudly in the chaos.
"Give me my life!" Zhu Bao looked at Zhang Bao with a ferocious smile in horror and rushed forward, wanting to roll down from the horse's back to beg for mercy. However, Zhang Bao hated him to the core, so he could not listen to his nonsense. The spear in his hand pierced his chest and abdomen without saying a word.
On the other hand, Guan Xing rushed forward, and took a knife and fell. Without waiting for the expression on Zhu Bao's face to change, he had already cut off his head with one knife!
"I killed people!"
