Chapter 184, to die(1/3)
The 120,000 infantrymen of the Xia Kingdom were lined up in a long row to advance to the cut off plain.
The night is lonely, and the faint fire light is becoming more and more terrifying under the dark night.
Perhaps we had already known that the protective power of Yangzhou City was vulnerable, and the Xia army did not hide any traces of it, and just came towards the Cuoxue Valley in a swagger.
It was not until he stepped through the Cutoff Plain and had entered the Cutoff Valley ahead that the commander of Xia raised his hand to stop the team.
The valley is desolate and cold, and the valley is extremely quiet and there is no sound.
"Transfer the order and send 20,000 vanguards to step into the valley first. If there is no abnormality, the subsequent army will advance."
The terrain of the Cuojue Valley is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the enemy ambushed behind the rugged rocks, even if there are not many, it will still delay the marching of the army.
Although the commander was determined to win this trip, he was not an arrogant person.
It is necessary to send the vanguard team. Even if the 8,000 soldiers of the Yangzhou camp set up an ambush here, the commander was confident that with just 20,000 vanguard teams, they could destroy the remaining defending forces of the Dayan in one fell swoop.
Because the strength levels of both sides are not the same level.
There is a saying that in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are jokes.
Since ancient times, the Three Kingdoms have fought no less than a hundred times. Even if there is a precedent for winning with less, the gap between the two sides is within an acceptable range.
But the gap of 120,000 to 8,000 is fifteen times, and it is not manpower at all.
An advance team stepped out and marched towards the valley, and the remaining 100,000 troops were waiting in the border area between the Cutoff Plain and Cutoff Valley.
The mountain road that stretches for ten miles in the valley is broken, and the roads are smooth, and there is no sign of enemy defense.
The 20,000 Xia infantry was still a little worried at first, but what he saw was smooth and his smiles regained his face.
It seems that the group of cowards of Dayan already knew that both sides were not of the same level, so they probably had abandoned the city and fled long ago.
When the thought of the prosperous Yangzhou was right in front of me, the infantry could not help but be beating faster and their paces accelerated.
Above the valley peak, countless huge rocks stand, and behind the huge rocks are shadows of waiting quietly.
"Mr. County Hou, there are already 20,000 Xia Guo soldiers in the valley. Can you take action now?"
After looking at Mu Changqing with a cold look and a tall figure, Xu Que suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and spoke.
There is only one word that answers him.
"wait!"
Mu Changqing expected that the Xia Kingdom would divide its troops like this.
After all, when marching and fighting, there are no idiots who can become the commander of a single army.
Originally, Mu Changqing thought that at most, there were thousands or even ten thousand spies before.
Unexpectedly, he sent 20,000 people at one time.
These 20,000 people, Mu Changqing naturally would not attack them.
It is true that these 20,000 people may have a great chance to win it in one fell swoop, but at that time all his trump cards would be exposed to Xia Kingdom.
By then, if a hundred thousand troops march in, the situation will be dead.
So he had to let go of these 20,000 people, and he had to let go of them.
Now only prayer is possible.
The 30,000 young and strong forces stationed in front of Yangzhou City can withstand the vanguard team of the 20,000 Xia Kingdom.
Even if it's delaying a little time.
The night was dark, and only the horse's hooves were restless neighing gradually.
"Report!"
"Report to the Grand Commander, the vanguard team has passed through the Cut Valley and is heading towards Yangzhou City."
"Huh? Could it be that the city defense force in Yangzhou City has given up its resistance?"
Commander Xia Guo let out a light thrill, his face showing hesitation.
A man who looked like a commander laughed.
"Master General, how can there be any remaining forces in Da Yan to resist us at this time? The war in Xuzhou is in a state of anxiety. Our army and Yun have already discussed a complete plan. Then Yun will inevitably delay all the forces in Da Yan in Xuzhou."
"Aren't Yangzhou City just a bare and unclothed girl at this time?"
"Besides, the weak power of Yangzhou City is just a mantis arm that is just a chariot."
"Besides, the spies have been inquiring outside Yangzhou City these days, but have not found any support from Dayan. It can be seen that there are only 8,000 people left in Yangzhou City at this time. Perhaps they are defending the city gate at this time and want to fight against the city."
What the man said was not unreasonable.
If Dayan had a supportive army to Yangzhou, the big news would naturally be beyond the eye of Xia.
"Don't indulge in marching and fighting."
Commander Xia scolded him in dissatisfaction.
The man curled his lips and felt a little disapproving.
After taking a look at the quiet and quiet valley of Duoxue, Commander Xia State thought about it carefully, he really couldn't figure out that there would be other changes, so he stopped hesitating, waved his big hand and marched forward.
The flames soared into the sky, and hundreds of thousands of Xia infantry soldiers marched towards the Cuojue Valley in an orderly manner.
Above the valley peak.
Mu Changqing looked at the long fire dragon in the distance and walked towards the valley, his eyes became more and more solid.
"Here you come!"
He said softly and turned around and looked at Xu Que, who had been waiting for him.
Mu Changqing nodded to him.
"If there is tomorrow, my subordinates will definitely drink and chat with the county master."
Xu Que knew it in his heart, bowed deeply to Mu Changqing, then stopped hesitating, and turned around to deploy his soldiers.
Looking at the back that was bravely determined to die, Mu Changqing's eyes were soft.
Have fun with drinking?
I hope there is still a chance.
"Sir, this battle?"
Zhang San's words trembled slightly. Even though he had absolute trust in Mu Changqing, he couldn't help feeling a little relieved under such a huge gap.
"Disaster."
Shaking his head, Mu Changqing sighed.
"Even if these Xia infantry can be wiped out by chance, the eight thousand soldiers of the Yangzhou camp will probably be completely wiped out."
"The most important thing is that once the day comes, all defenses in the valley will fail, so the 100,000 troops must be completely destroyed tonight."
"San'er, prepare to go."
"Yes, sir."
Holding the big knife, Zhang San couldn't help but clench his eyes tightly, and turned his head to leave.
The picture returns to the valley, on the long mountain road, the 100,000 infantry soldiers of the Xia Kingdom are slowly advancing.
The firelight reflects the rugged mountain walls on both sides particularly brightly.
After more than 100,000 people entered the valley, the speed of the march suddenly accelerated.
Don’t enter the forest when you encounter a mountain, and accelerate when you encounter a mountain. This is the principle that marching and fighting will last forever.
Just as all the soldiers of Xia Kingdom were walking slowly, the drums were loud.
A rumbling sound rang out from the valley peak, and then with the light of fire, countless huge stones were rushing towards the bottom of the valley with thunder.
"Enemy attack!"
For a moment, Xia Guo's camp was in chaos, and then under the leadership of the team, 100,000 infantry erected shields on the spot to resist the impact of the huge rocks.
"defense!"
The fall of the huge rock seemed to be earth-shaking, but in fact it was not enough to cause casualties to some soldiers, but it was also insignificant.
"It seems that those little guys are not giving up?"
There was a commander grinning in the encirclement.
"Ambushes of this scale are too pediatric, right?"
Someone echoed.
really.
This huge rock impact is indeed not lethal for such a long mountain road.
The commander was not as gloating as his subordinates. Looking at the huge rocks rolling on the side of the wall behind him, he felt a little uneasy.
The drum sounded and the huge rock fell, just a few breaths.
To be continued...
