Chapter 60 Ambush 2

In the mountains, Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang have hidden their troops in a canyon in the mountains. On both sides of the road through the mountains, Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang did not arrange too many troops, but only ambush hundreds of soldiers on both sides of a narrow mountain pass. The reason why the two of them did this is also to learn from the experience of the ambush at Yanzhou West Gate. They found that the orcs in the original world were like the Huns in the Han Dynasty in the earth world. They were equally cunning and bloodthirsty.

On the evening of the third day when the troops under Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang settled down, Qixi and his 2,000 cavalry appeared on the grassland west of the mountains. As the sky had gradually faded, he did not march to the mountains that day. He built the barracks outside the mountain road.

"Mr. Zhang, General Jiang! The army of the orcs went outside the mountain, but they did not enter the mountain. A former soldier walked into Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang's tent and replied.

"Is it?" Zhang Zhentian and Jiang Dongfang looked at each other, and then Zhang Zhentian asked again, "How many people are there?" It's fast enough!" According to his and Jiang Dongfang's estimation, it will take almost two days for these orc troops to reach the mountains.

"To Mr. Zhang! They only have cavalry, no infantry and grain. It is estimated that the number of people is about 2,000. The original soldier replied.

"It seems to be their advance team." After listening to this, Jiang Dongfang turned to Zhang Zhentian and said, "Brother Zhang, it seems that the commander of this orc is also very careful!" He sent cavalry to inspect the terrain and guard against our ambush.

"Go ahead!" Zhang Zhentian first waved to the original soldier to signal that he could leave, and then said to Jiang Dongfang, "It doesn't matter. Our army is far away from the road, and they will not find it. It's just a narrow part of the road, and we have done it. I don't know if these orcs can detect it.

"Well, don't worry!" Jiang Dongfang patted his chest and replied, "Our soldiers are ambushed on the top of the mountain. Moreover, I let them loosen the rocks on the cliff. Unless these orc cavalry will climb to the top of the mountain and then put ropes down to the cliff to see, they can't find our movements.

"That's good!" Zhang Zhentian listened to Jiang Dongfang's words and smiled, and then asked again, "You use two hundred chariots, and a thousand cavalry can really block the mountain pass to prevent them from escaping?"

"The terrain is what we see together. Brother Zhang, don't worry!" Jiang Dongfang replied with a smile. It turned out that Jiang Dongfang's bull chariots were not all ambushed in the mountains, and he also reserved part of them to be stationed outside the mountains. It's just that the position of those troops is close to the mountain, and it is not easy to be found far from the mountain entrance.

"That's good! Tonight, you can take people back to the camp outside the mountain from the path!" Zhang Zhentian nodded and said, "If the orcs scouted the two wings, they may still find them. We'd better be careful."

Yes! Brother Zhang. After hearing this, Jiang Dongfang stood up, said goodbye to Zhang Zhentian, and left the valley camp and took people out of the mountain.

In the orc camp in front of the mountain pass. He didn't take the words of Xixiang and the scouts too seriously. In his heart, there has never been a precedent for tens of thousands of orc troops being ambushed by the original. After all, this is the territory of the orcs, although it is a mountain in front of them. However, the terrain of this mountain is different from that of Yanyun. It is much smoother, and most of the hillsides can easily pass through horses. Therefore, he did not think that the original man would travel a long way here to ambush his army.

"Four princes, shall we set up a cavalry outside the camp?" The orc cavalry lieutenant on duty at night walked into the tent of the orc and respectfully asked for instructions.

"No need!" Yuxi replied, "Everyone has been working hard for many days, so let the big guys have a good rest!" After he finished speaking, he waved his hand to the cavalry captain, "You go out too!" It was really hard to follow my eldest brother a few days ago. I went out to find some wine and vegetables for me. I want to have a good rest."

Yes! The fourth prince. The cavalry captain retreated from the tent. Since he wants wine and vegetables, he still has to do it with all his heart. This dish is not easy to find, but the horses of the orc soldiers carry regular food such as roast lamb, so there is still meat. Not to mention wine for grassland people. Therefore, the captain can naturally meet the small wish of Xixi.

At noon the next day, the hustle in the tent woke up from his sleep. After days of fatigue and drinking some wine last night, he will naturally sleep a little more. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then asked the soldiers guarding in front of the camp, "What time is it now?"

"It's already noon to go back to the fourth prince." The soldier replied.

"So fast?" Xixi sat up from **. He leaned around and said to his soldiers, "Let's go on and have dinner!" Then, go on a tour of the mountains in the afternoon!"

Yes! The fourth prince. After listening to the words of the soldiers, he immediately left the tent and passed the order according to the words of the soldiers.

In the afternoon, Xixi had lunch. He led his cavalry into the mountains carelessly. The original soldiers who were ambushed in the mountains had long known the arrival of the Xixi, and they had already found a hidden place to hide. Therefore, when I looked at it all the way, I naturally found no abnormality. When Qixi and his cavalry rode out of the mountain, it was already dark. Although this mountain is not steep, its area is very large. That's why he and his cavalry ran all afternoon. After that, Xi will naturally not return to the northwest of the mountain overnight to meet with Xixiang. His army remained in the southeast of the mountains.

That night, he also had a drink. But the next day, he didn't get up until noon as the day before yesterday. As soon as the day dawned, he got up from **, and then he ordered his cavalry to have breakfast early. After that, he led the cavalry back from the mountains. This time, he looked much more carefully than the last time. However, he also didn't find anything wrong. In the evening, his cavalry came out of the mountains. He estimated that he and his cavalry had been delayed in the mountains for so long that the army would march near the mountains. Instead of camping outside the mountains, he took the cavalry directly to the northwest to find the army to meet.

After the detachment, the original soldiers ambushed on both sides of the road immediately reported the situation to Zhang Zhentian. Zhang Zhentian listened, and he didn't delay at all. On the one hand, he arranged for the original soldiers guarding the narrow mountain road to continue to chisel stones, preparing to block the road when the orcs passed by, blocking the orc army to the northwest of the mountain. On the other hand, he also arranged his cavalry and the bull chariot left by Jiang Dongfang to find a suitable location for attack in the mountains. Because of the large army of orcs, after they entered the mountain road, they could not completely annihilate their 20,000 troops from a single point. At the same time, Zhang Zhentian also sent someone to Jiang Dongfang with the news of Xi's departure.

After Jiang Dongfang got the news of Zhang Zhentian, he also made a similar arrangement. Because he and his army ambushed on the grassland on the northwest side of the mountain. Therefore, it is easier for him to send scouts to the northwest grassland to monitor the actions of the orcs than Zhang Zhentian. Therefore, after he received the news from Zhang Zhentian, he immediately sent scouts to the depths of the grassland in the northwest.

In the middle of the day, he led his cavalry to rush back to the camp. After the two brothers met, they exchanged a greeting, and then Zhe Xiang naturally told Zhe Xiang that he had not found any traces of the original people in the mountains. After listening to Yuxi's words, he was still a little worried. However, his mood was also much relieved. After all, more than 2,000 people and more than 4,000 pairs of eyes have not found the enemy, and this mountain must be safe.

It's just that Yuxiang forgot one. If the leading general is perfunctory, even if he has 100,000 troops under him, it is difficult for him to find clues from the deliberately hidden enemy.
