Chapter 322： more than one team

Not specifically marked but suitable for ambushes here, this is the exclusive advantage of the locals.

The two asked Song Wei about the specific topography of the Swallow Valley, and then agreed to set up an ambush in the Swallow Valley.

But after Song Wei finished talking about setting up an ambush, Ye Anlan pointed to the other side of Juyongguan and asked Song Wei a question.

She asked: "Actually, Hu people can also go west from now on to harm Xinzhou, right?"

Song Wei nodded, "In theory, it is indeed possible, but a large area between Xinzhou and Youzhou is deserted, and the barbarians can't bring horses when they cross the mountains. If they want to make trouble in Xinzhou, they must first use their own It takes at least three days to march quickly with both feet. If they really walked for three days in vain, then they don't even want to contain the Juyongguan defenders."

Three days spent on the road, plus one day spent crossing mountains and mountains, add up to almost four days and three nights. No matter how brave the main force of the Hu people is, it is impossible to keep attacking the city during this period.

Besides, Xinzhou is so far away from Juyongguan, even if something really happened there, the Dingbei Army would not immediately dispatch troops from Youzhou, Shunzhou and Juyongguan to support it.

Unless all the troops in Xinzhou and Weizhou next door are wiped out, the Dingbei Army will definitely dispatch the soldiers stationed in those two states first.

In this case, restraining something is tantamount to turning it into a big joke.

After hearing his explanation, Ye Anlan immediately understood that this was Song Wei's exclusive advantage of being a local.

Going to the west, the Hu soldiers who sneaked into the north could not achieve the ultimate goal of containing the Juyongguan defenders. Going south, Youzhou, which is heavily garrisoned, is the only place they must pass through. Achieving the goal at the same time as the minimum cost.

And it is precisely because Song Wei is very clear about this point that he directly chooses to set up an ambush in the Swallow Valley.

After the doubts were answered, Ye Anlan immediately followed what Song Wei said, and led the troops to Swallow Valley first.

Li Jing, who wanted to be with her, was arranged by Song Wei to go to the other side of the Swallow Valley, in order to prevent the Hu soldiers from retreating to the forest next to Juyongguan after they found out that the situation was wrong.

As for the other valley exit farther from Juyongguan, Song Wei took his Dingbei Army soldiers under his command to set up a large number of traps before the arrival of the Hu people.

The three of them finished their preparations, and the soldiers of the Hu people who sneaked into the northern border were also discovered by the soldiers of the Dingbei Army who were in charge of guarding the watchtower. They ignited the beacon fire at the first time to pass the news to their comrades.

When those barbarian soldiers saw the bonfire igniting, they subconsciously wanted to kill the Dingbei Army soldiers guarding the watchtower.

However, before they could put their idea into action, the Dingbei Army soldiers on the watchtower had already condescended to attack them first.

They used the catapults placed on the tower to injure and kill many Hu soldiers in a short while.

The Hu soldiers were stunned. It was the first time they knew that there was such a big thing as a catapult placed on the watchtower of the Dingbei Army.

Who the **** figured this out? Don't they think it's too heavy to move?

How did the Dingbei Army get onto the watchtower for a heavy machine that needs to be pushed by several people at the same time to move on flat ground?

Hu soldiers subconsciously glanced back and forth around the watchtower, but after looking around several times, they could not see things such as gentle slopes and steps.

So, these guys from Dingbei Army really got it up by brute force?

Hu people thought that the Dingbei Army was indeed a group of lunatics, but they didn't know that the Dingbei Army actually had many skilled craftsmen who could help them come up with enough labor-saving methods.

"Retreat first!" Seeing that there was nothing to do, the leading Hu general immediately called his subordinates to retreat to the east.

The lower half of the watchtower of the Dingbei Army is a bare and solid stone wall. As long as the officers and men of the Dingbei Army guarding it condescendingly press the switch and put away the wooden steps that were originally used for people to go up and down the watchtower, these Hus who only carry sidearms The only way left for the soldiers is to stand under the tower and stare blankly.

If there is plenty of time, perhaps these barbarian soldiers can form a circle from a distance, spend five days and seven days, and starve the soldiers of the Dingbei Army guarding the watchtower to death, but the problem is that they are now walking in front of the enemy. On the territory, they couldn't afford to follow the soldiers of the Dingbei Army guarding the watchtower.

Every time the opponent lasts an extra hour, the hope of waiting for reinforcements is even greater, and they, every time the opponent endures an extra hour, their group of Hu soldiers who penetrated into the enemy's line were surrounded by the Dingbei Army and then wiped out. It may be bigger_(:з」∠)_

For a while, they will not gain the upper hand, and if they continue to endure, they will undoubtedly lose. No matter how unwilling the Hu soldiers are, they have to give up their original plan to kill people and hide their whereabouts.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Dingbei Army on the watchtower, they hurriedly evacuated toward the east side of the mountain pass.

What they don't know is that they don't have to wait for the reinforcements from the Dingbei Army to arrive. In the Swallow Valley on the east side of the mountain pass, a big bag has already been opened, waiting for them to jump in by themselves.

***

After the Hu people hurriedly withdrew for about three quarters of an hour, the Xie Jiajun scouts who were in charge of scouting the enemy rushed to the ambush team led by Li Jing, "Sir, the Hu people are here, there are less than 3,000 people in total."

Li Jing waved his hand, and the guards who were watching rushed to the mountain to report to Ye Anlan.

After hearing this, Ye Anlan sent someone to send news to Song Wei.

Song Weigang led his subordinates to prepare the final trap, and when he heard the number of enemy soldiers sent by Ye's personal guards, he slapped the tree beside him, "Sure enough, I guessed right, more than one barbarians came team."

The previous 2,000-man team now seems to be nothing more than a cover. No matter whether they go out or not, their task must be to restrain the soldiers of the Dingbei Army who came out from Juyongguan to intercept them.

With them keeping those Dingbei Army soldiers in the west, the 3,000-man team, which is the real killer of the Hu people, can enter the northern border smoothly and unimpeded.

Seeing that they headed straight to the east with a clear goal as soon as they came, it was obvious that they knew the distribution of villages and towns in the north.

Following Ye Anlan out of Juyongguan, Bai Ruiwen, who has now returned to Song Wei's command, was grateful. He said to Song Wei, "Fortunately, we have Ye Jiajun and Xie Jiajun helping us."

Song Wei's guards and deputy generals nodded their heads one after another. If Xie Jiajun and Ye Jiajun hadn't entered in the middle, even if Song Wei found out that the situation was wrong and immediately dispatched troops, the soldiers would not be summoned by them with a single thought.

They don't know how to turn beans into soldiers. They still have to draw this soldier from Youzhou or Shunzhou.

It takes time for them to go to Youzhou or Shunzhou to move rescuers, and it takes time for the rescuers to go out of the city to chase the Hu people. The time required by the two sides is added up. Those Hu people might have taken the opportunity to slaughter the villages and towns, got their mounts, and fled. I don't know where.
