Chapter 480 Timur: What a Great Place for an Ambush
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Seeing that the boss was frozen in place, the two subordinates couldn't help but patted his shoulders and subconsciously looked in the direction the boss was looking at. They were both stunned for a moment.
I saw a large number of black shadows appearing on the official road not far away. They were walking in neat steps, and the swords and guns in their hands exuded a penetrating cold light under the white light.
"No, Chen Jun is catching up. Go back and report to the general." After a moment's delay, the boss finally came to his senses and said hurriedly.
…
Timur was not asleep yet and was planning his retreat route.
The army under his command had many cavalry, so it was natural for him to take the high road.
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly walked in, water drops dripping down his raincoat to the ground, and he shouted loudly: "General, it's bad, the scouts came to report, Chen Jun has already caught up. "
"What?"
"Boom!"
Thunder exploded outside, covering up Tamerlane's surprised scream.
Tie Mutie's face was ashen.
Is Chen Jun crazy?
It’s raining so hard and we still have to catch up.
Not afraid of getting sick?
No matter how angry Tamerlane was, he had to consider the current situation.
At night, it was still raining heavily, which was not suitable for cavalry operations, not to mention that Chen Jun had "strange thunder".
After thinking again and again, Timur gritted his teeth and said: "Give me the order to withdraw."
"promise."
…
the other side.
Pursuing in a rainstorm, even the brave guards with strict military discipline couldn't help but curse a little at this moment.
However, if you scold, you still have to chase.
In the middle army, Chang En raised his hand to wipe the rain in front of his eyes and said to Cui Shuang: "General Cui, it's raining so hard, there's no need to chase. The soldiers are all wet. If they are infected with the wind and cold, It’s not good.”
Cui Shuang said solemnly: "I can't help it. This is a death order from the Marquis."
As he spoke, he said to his soldiers: "Tell the Suzaku Guards not to let the artillery shells and clay bombs get wet."
"promise."
Three days later.
Within Cangzhou.
As soon as Tamerlane ordered the entire army to stop and take a breath, scouts from the rear came to report that traces of Chen Jun had been found thirty miles away.
This made Timur couldn't help but scold his mother: "Straight bastard, is there a death in Chen Jun's family? I've been chasing him so hard for three days and I'm still clinging to him. Aren't you tired?"
"It's strange to say that with the speed of our cavalry, we haven't deliberately slowed down in the past few days. It stands to reason that Chen Jun can't catch up." Tuoba Zhudao.
"Who knows what method Chen Jun used, we can't keep chasing him day and night." As he said that, Timur opened his mouth wide and looked at Tuoba Zhu.
Tuoba Zhu nodded: "I'm afraid it's just like what the general said."
"Crazy, Chen Jun is really crazy." Timur gritted his teeth and shouted: "Retreat, retreat."
Under the fierce pressure of Chen Jun, Timur led the army and retreated to Long County.
On a rocky mountain that must be passed through Long County, Chen Mo led his cavalry guards and personal troops to ambush on it early.
"It's been so many days. Why haven't these barbarians come yet? They're probably passing by here, right?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? When will the Marquis make a mistake? Be an honest cat."
"That's right, Mr. Hou is an immortal master with the ability to navigate the world. Since we are allowed to ambush here, we must have predicted in advance that the Jinxia barbarians will pass by here."
The knight guards whispered to each other in twos and threes.
At this moment, they saw General Shao moving toward where the Marquis was crouching.
"Master Marquis, the spies are here to report that the Jinxia barbarians have entered Long County. This is a must-go place. I think they will come here soon," Shao Jinneng said.
Chen Mo nodded and looked at Sun Meng: "Send the order, Barbarian is coming, let the whole army get ready."
"promise."
Soon.
The whole army received the news that the Jinxia army was coming from here and made preparations.
An hour later.
Shao Jin could concentrate on kneeling on the ground and put his left ear on the ground, motionless.
Soon, Shao Jinneng's eyes widened and he was radiant.
"Come here, these barbarians are really coming this way."
Shao Jinneng was extremely shocked and admired Chen Mo even more.
"Send the order, let the barbarians exploring the path go first, and we'll fight the ones behind." Chen Mo said to Sun Meng.
the other side.
"General, there is a rocky mountain ahead. The road under the mountain is not wide. We need to change our formation to pass." The general below said to Timur.
Timur was riding on a tall horse, looking at the stone mountains in the distance and the strange-shaped boulders, and exclaimed inexplicably: "It's really a good ambush place."
The general nodded: "There are cliffs on both sides of the road, and they are quite steep. There is no way to attack upward. If we set up an ambush here, we will destroy as many as we can."
After saying that, the general tried again: "General, if we don't ambush here? Maybe we can severely damage the enemy troops pursuing behind."
Hearing this, Timur also had an idea. This place is really good. After thinking about it, he said: "There is no need for the whole army to ambush. It is too eye-catching. If it is seen through, it will be difficult to get rid of it. Just leave one battalion." Just stop it."
As he said that, he looked at Tuoba Zhu, who was frowning at the side: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Tuoba said: "My lord, don't you think the stone mountain in front of you is a little too quiet?"
"I see that there are few trees on this mountain. Obviously, few birds live here. It's normal for it to be quiet." said the general who proposed the ambush just now.
Timur laughed and said, "Could it be that the prince thinks there is an ambush here?"
Cangzhou was taken down by them when they went south before. Although no troops were sent to garrison, there was no resistance in this state at all. Chen Jun was chasing behind, so where did the ambush come from?
Tuoba Zhu shook his head: "I just always feel that something is wrong."
"Haha, if the prince is worried, you can take the people of the first battalion to go first." Timur rarely teased Tuoba Zhu.
But Tuoba Zhu nodded seriously.
This made Timur laugh.
...
"My Lord, the Jinxia barbarians are coming in." Sun Meng whispered.
Chen Mo looked down and was immediately attracted by a middle-aged man wearing armor riding on a red horse.
Because there was a red number "1801" on his forehead.
It can be seen that this person is a warrior in the supernatural realm.
"Could this person be Timur?"
Chen Mo didn't know what Timur looked like, nor had he seen a portrait, but the red number on his forehead made Chen Mo think he was "Timur".
"They are coming." Xia Zhining heard Chen Mo's murmur and reminded him in a low voice.
Although Chen Mo wanted to shoot this person, he saw that it was only a small group of troops coming in. Once he took action, he would definitely alert the enemy.
Chen Mo took a deep breath: "Let them pass."
