Zongwu: My business is to engage people

Chapter 78 Ambush

In the Marshal's Mansion, Guan Conglin was horrified after receiving a letter asking for help from Sun Cheng in Xinyou City.

"How can it be? Jiang Yuan's real purpose is to attack Xinyou City and then capture the entire Pingzhou? Isn't his goal to become famous?

The counselor next to him said in a deep voice:"Qi Tianhou is famous for his treacherous tactics, and anything may happen." Sun Cheng had made it very clear in his request for help. Digging tunnels should be done internally and externally. It is a huge project to dig through many tunnels in a city. Qi Tianhou would never do such a useless effort. His real purpose must be to find Pingzhou."

"That's right, Commander, let's rush to Xinyou City immediately! It will be too late. Guan

Conglin nodded solemnly:"Yes, Jiang Yuan has superb methods. Sun Cheng is by no means his opponent. I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long." If anyone comes, please immediately send this request for help to Marshal Chen Gong of Mingzhou."

"Got the order"

"A handwritten letter was sent to Jinguang City and Shuiyue City respectively, asking them to send half of their troops to support Xinyou City."

"Take orders"

"An order was sent to the 50,000-strong army to regroup immediately and set out in an hour to march to the aid of Xinyou City."

……

Jinguang City and Shuiyue City are located in a narrow area of ​​​​the road fifty miles away from Xinyou City, in the dense bushes next to it.

Zhuo Tianliu squatted in the bushes to hide his figure, his eyes staring at the empty mountain road in front of him like a hawk.

The general next to him asked worriedly:"General Zhuo, if we leave 20,000 people in Xinyou City to pretend to attack the city, will we be discovered by the defenders of Xinyou City?"

After the second siege last night, Zhuo Tianliu Immediately, he led an army of 70,000 people and quietly left Xinyou City. He lost 10,000 people during the siege, leaving only 20,000 people to continue training outside Xinyou City to confuse the opponent.

"They have long been frightened. I am afraid that now the whole city is busy looking for tunnels, so there is no time to care about us! The general was still worried and asked:"

But will Jinguang City and Shuiyue City really send reinforcements?" If they don't come, wouldn't our trip be in vain? The brothers can't stand this back and forth. If the rear support of the Blood Moon Army arrives at this time, we will be in danger. Zhuo

Tianliu was also beating a drum in his heart, but when he thought that this was planned by the Marquis himself, he felt unreasonable trust in his heart.

He said firmly:"Don't worry, I said there are reinforcements, there must be reinforcements, just wait and see!" This time the Blood Moon Army will definitely suffer a big loss."

At this moment, a scout quietly approached Zhuo Tianliu and hurriedly reported

"General, we found 40,000 Blood Moon troops ten miles away, rushing towards us. They will be here in half an hour at most."

Zhuo Tianliu and the general looked at each other, both of them showing excitement.

"It's coming, it's coming. General Zhuo is really a mastermind, and he deserves to be passed down by the commander of the legion. The general admires him."

What kind of legion commander? This was commanded by the Marquis himself, but he is much smarter than the legion commander.

Zhuo Tianliu suppressed the excitement in his heart and whispered:"Command everyone to hide their whereabouts for me, even if it's shit. You also pulled it down to my crotch, and absolutely no trace of it was exposed."

"yes……"

Half an hour passed by in anxious waiting.

Finally, the Blood Moon Army appeared in Zhuo Tianliu's sight. He stared straight ahead, silently calculating the distance.

After most of the 40,000 Blood Moon troops entered his ambush circle, Zhuo Tianliu suddenly burst into flames and roared:

"Kill me!"

……

On the other side, Guan Conglin led an army of 50,000 people to rush to Xinyou City at starry night. The speed was not bad. In just one day, he traveled almost two-thirds of the way.

At this time, we were walking to a place called Yanzi Valley, where two mountains were sandwiched between each other, with an official road about ten meters wide running through the middle.

This kind of place is the best combat area for ambush.

However, Pingzhou City has not been broken yet. This is an internal blockade area controlled by the Blood Moon Army. No one will worry about such an area.

Guan Conglin was riding at the front, the worry on his face not fading at all.

"Have the messengers from Golden Light City and Shuiyue City not returned yet?"

"not yet. The counselor next to him comforted him:"

Commander, there is no need to worry. Jinguang City and Shuiyue City are only eighty miles away from Xinyou City. In five hours at most, a combined army of 40,000 people from the two cities can arrive at Xinyou City." Go to the rescue. No matter how powerful Jiang Yuan is, he should be able to support the commander's 50,000 troops to reach Xinyou City.

The lieutenants behind him agreed:"The military advisor is right. Jiang Yuan is not a god. He only has 100,000 people." Marshal Chen Gong has sent a message, but Ran Lie's side is still standing still. Jiang Yuan will definitely not be able to take Xinyou City with 100,000 people this time. Guan

Conglin sighed softly:"I know the truth, but my heart is still uneasy. I don't know why, but I always feel that something bad is going to happen.""

"Forget it, I sent an order to the whole army to double the speed again and try to reach Xinyou City by midnight today. I won't worry if I don't get to Xinyou City earlier."

Everyone looked at each other helplessly and smiled bitterly.

How afraid is the commander-in-chief of Jiang Yuan? He is so frightened. Is Jiang Yuan still weak?

At this moment, a chuckle came from the cliff.

"Guan Junglin, I have been waiting here for a long time."

Guan Conglin heard this familiar voice and quickly turned his head to look.

He saw two figures standing on the cliff with their hands behind their backs, looking at him with a smile.

"Jiang Yuan, why are you here?"

Guan Conglin was shocked. Isn't Jiang Yuan in Dongzhou City? Why did he come to Yanzi Valley?

"No, the whole army will retreat. There may be an ambush here."

In an instant, countless heads suddenly appeared on both sides of the cliff, as well as at the entrance of Yanzi Valley. Countless Jiangyuan armies rushed out and surrounded all 50,000 Blood Moon troops in Yanzi Valley.

"Report, Commander, it’s not good. We are surrounded by Qi Tianhou’s army. Even our retreat has been cut off by a hundred thousand troops."

"How can it be? To cut off the retreat, a hundred thousand troops were needed. Where did these people on the cliff come from? Doesn’t Jiang Yuan have a total of 500,000 troops? There are 400,000 and 100,000 troops in Mingzhou attacking Xinyou City. Could this extra army fly out of the sky?"

The generals looked at each other, no one knew what was going on.

Guan Conglin glared at Jiang Yuan and shouted:"Jiang Yuan, don't you only have 500,000 people? Where did you send the people to besiege us?"

Jiang Yuan said casually:"I announced that I have an army of 500,000, do you really believe it? I disappoint you. Other people's armies like to make false reports, but I like to underreport. In fact, I have a total of 700,000 troops under my command. The 200,000 troops here are specially reserved for your funeral."

"What? Seven hundred thousand? Jiang Yuan, you are shameless and deceive everyone in the world."

Guan Conglin was furious, hateful, so hateful. If I had known earlier that you had 700,000 troops, how could Pingzhou's defense only have 200,000 people?

Jiang Yuan was speechless. Don't you understand that soldiers never tire of deceit?

"Kill them for me, surround them all, and be sure not to let anyone escape."

"yes."

In an instant, rolling stones, rolling logs and arrows rained down on the Swallow Valley like rain, and the blood-moon army's screams echoed in the Swallow Valley for a long time.
