Chapter 1234 Ambush! Xia Houyuan

Ren Jun blinked and said with a bitter face:

"I have admired the son's name for a long time, but my wife and family members are all in Xudu. If they return, they will be killed."

Well, the desire to survive is strong.

"Accordingly, I should kill you, but what you said is also reasonable. If I kill you, I can't bear it. I wonder if you would like to be wronged for a few days?"

Ren Jun nodded repeatedly.

Bai Xiaowen sighed: "Give me a rope... No, tie it up with an iron chain and gag your mouth, so as not to spoil our military affairs."

The hussars did as they were told, and soon tied up Ren Jun. In Ren Jun's eyes, there was actually a look of gratitude for the rest of his life, and a look of gratitude to Bai Xiaowen, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak.

Bai Xiaowen asked the soldiers to take off his gag and rags temporarily, after all, there is no need for an ambush now. Anyway, if he is a talent who wants to recruit in the future, just give him some human rights.

It's not too late to gag his mouth when necessary.

...

Facts have proved that Bai Xiaowen's series of measures after changing his thinking have achieved quite good results.

Most of the soldiers who fled the fields did not escape.

Even if some soldiers escaped, it would be harmless.

Bai Xiaowen didn't think that the news of the hussars appearing in Xudu could be blocked forever.

As long as the reaction speed of the enemies in the cities of Yingchuan is slowed down, their support time is slowed down, and the victory can basically be established when the Youzhou army arrives.

After cleaning up the Tuntian Guardhouse, Bai Xiaowen still did not relax his vigilance.

In addition to opening the maximum range of his mental scan and patrolling day and night, he also asked Qiao Rui to release the spirit of the falcon to patrol Yingchuan, check the movements of the enemy troops in each city, and see if there were rumors and alarms coming to support.

a day later.

"Captain, I sent the Falcon Spirit to investigate three times in three directions. I saw most of the city in Yingchuan, but there was no movement. There was only an army in the south. There were about 2,000 people. They set off from Xiangcheng and were rushing towards Xu. Coming in the direction of the capital, the marching speed is very fast!"

Hearing Qiao Rui's report, Bai Xiaowen frowned and said: "The one who should come will come after all, and only one army horse came in advance, which is not bad. Sister Qiao, from the perspective of Falcon, you can feel the strength of the general in charge of the army." Weak?"

Qiao Rui frowned and said, "If I want to do this, I have to lower the flying height of the Falcon."

"don't want."

Bai Xiaowen waved his hand and said decisively: "There are many sharpshooters in the Three Kingdoms plane, and many ordinary generals have good arrow skills! Falcons fly low. After being discovered by them, they are very likely to be shot directly. We will temporarily lose important surveillance Eye."

If the Falcon Spirit flies back by itself, it only takes eight hours to summon it again.

If you are killed or cannot return during the duration, it will take 24 hours to summon, the difference is still very big.

Bai Xiaowen asked about the enemy's marching speed, distance, etc., opened the geographical map of mountains and rivers, pulled out the geographical details of Yingchuan County, and made plans.

...

Xia Houyuan, prefect of Yingchuan,

Hearing Xu Du's alarm, he was so anxious that he brought all 2,000 troops from Xiangcheng to the rescue first.

Xu Du is the residence of the emperor and the prime minister, and the foundation of the Cao Group, so there is absolutely no room for loss!

At this time, there is no general guarding Xudu.

"Where are you?" Xia Houyuan asked the soldiers.

An old soldier said: "Return to the prefect, after crossing Yingshui, Yingyang will be ahead."

Xia Houyuan nodded slightly, feeling at ease. Yingyang is only tens of miles away from Xudu, and at the speed he leads his troops to attack, he can reach it in half an hour.

According to the report of the remnant soldiers in Tuntian, the enemies who invaded Yingchuan County were only a few hundred cavalry, probably bandits.

Thinking about it is right, Yingchuan's defenses are so strict, it is understandable that some bandits occasionally appear, if a large number of enemy troops arrive, they must have alerted the guards in other cities and gates one step earlier, and they will never be touched. No one knows the door yet.

This is why Xia Houyuan didn't immediately order other cities to gather troops to save Xudu.

In his opinion, with his strength, hundreds of horse thieves and a hundred crossbowmen under his command are easy to catch? What's more, there are two thousand infantry to help out.

Although most of the two thousand infantry were recruits and hadn't been baptized on the battlefield, a strong momentum was enough.

After crossing the Yingshui, Xia Houyuan ordered the whole army to speed up and march straight to Xudu.

Walking to a valley with lush forests, Xia Houyuan felt a little nervous.

From his point of view, the terrain of this valley is a bit too dangerous, and it is simply an excellent place for an ambush.

"If the enemy ambushes on both sides of the valley..."

Xia Houyuan shook his head, secretly laughing. It's just a horse thief, how can there be such a plan?

However, just to be on the safe side, Xia Houyuan still ordered the captain of the soldiers under his command to step into the valley first to spy.

The captain of the personal army rode his horse into the valley, and came out of the valley not long after: "General! There is not even a single person in the valley."

Xia Houyuan felt relieved, secretly laughed at himself for being suspicious, and hurriedly urged the soldiers to speed up into the valley.

The further you go, the more dangerous and steep the terrain in the valley becomes.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a drum, and the two sides of the valley were densely covered with banners, and arrows shot down one by one!

Xia Houyuan was taken aback, and shouted sharply: "Enemy attack! Swords and shields step forward and form a circle to protect the Chinese army!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Houyuan glared at the captain of the soldiers who explored the road: "You trash, what use are you for!" He drew his sword and wanted to kill him.

Left and right quickly persuaded.

The captain of the bodyguard got off his horse, begging for mercy repeatedly. Xia Houyuan said angrily: "After I have pacified the bandits, I will come to question the crime!"

Xia Houyuan's reaction to the surprise attack was not unpleasant. If the sword and shield hands can form a circular formation, they can withstand the rain of arrows on both sides.

However, all the elite soldiers were brought to Guandu by Cao Cao. Most of them were raw melon eggs. They were suddenly attacked and did not flee in all directions. How could it be possible to act like an elite?

The formation is true, but everyone is scrambling to squeeze in, lest they fall on the outermost edge.

Going back and forth again and again, they squeezed their own formation in a crooked manner.

The arrows in the valleys on both sides are more dense, and there are rockets among them!

Although Qingqi rushes, those cumbersome things can be left without them, but Bai Xiaowen has storage space.

And there is also a jade belt with gold patterns, which doubles the storage space!

It is absolutely no problem to bring some strategic materials such as kerosene and saltpeter.

In the middle of winter, the ground is mostly dry grass, which is quickly ignited, and then the fireworks rise, and no one can be seen.

Xia Houyuan drew his saber in his hand, chopped to death three sword-shieldmen who squeezed carelessly, and cleared up military discipline a little, then sternly shouted: "Don't panic! The personal soldiers are in front, and the others will follow, rush out of the valley. If you don't come out of the valley , we will all die here!"
