Eight Hundred and Sixtieth IX: Blocking the Enemy
There was no ambush on the side of the road, but Youzhou's army had already chosen a place. After their scouts passed by, part of the army passed, they relaxed their vigilance, and then rushed over from a distance.
An attack can't hurt many people, but the delay of the march is indeed real.
There are many ways for Xu Li and the others to harass.
Some set up obstacles on the side of the road, or set up suspicious formations.
There are also those who suddenly throw javelins from a distance.
At the same time, they also dug traps or dug many large pits on the side of the road to make it difficult for their luggage to pass.
Xu Li and the others had obvious effects of harassment, and the speed of Xuzhou's soldiers and horses really slowed down.
After the team assembled again, Xu Ligao said in his heart: "The methods my lord mentioned before are really useful. Using the terrain to harass them in many ways, their speed is much slower."
"According to the current marching speed, we can complete the task."
A few people were very happy. It was their first time to lead troops independently, and they absolutely couldn't make mistakes.
Several people assigned tasks again, and then arranged.
Liang Yong was so angry that he endured Yi's harassment.
When camping at night, Liang Yong continued to be harassed, but he arranged for an ambush, and when the harassing soldiers came, he ordered them to go out and chased them for dozens of miles before returning.
This time the effect was obvious. They were harassed twice in one night, and the soldiers could have a good rest.
The second Liang Yong was attacked again.
"Pass through quickly, and the soldiers are on alert for two miles." Liang Yong responded immediately. He did not pursue this harassment, nor did he let the enemy approach.
The effect was obvious, and the method used before was useless. Liang Yong asked the army to guard the surrounding area for two or three miles. Xu Li and the others did not dare to attack by force.
"I'm afraid the task assigned to us by the general will be difficult to complete. I didn't expect that we would not be able to complete the task for the first time leading troops independently." Xu Li said in frustration.
They calculated,
At most, it can be delayed by two halves of the time, and if the difference is half, Zhang Liao will not be able to complete the set plan.
When Xu Li and the others were helpless, an order came, asking Xu Li and the others to bypass the enemy's rear and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack.
It turned out that Zhang Liao had already arranged for the deputy general to come with 30,000 people. They found that Xu Li and others could not complete the task, so they set up an ambush ahead.
Zhang Liao's lieutenant general had already set up an ambush ahead, but the time was short and there was no time to make the arrangements too complicated, but there were not many enemy troops, so one attack could achieve the goal.
Xu Li and others were very happy when they found out. Although they did not complete the task, at least they would not delay things this way.
Xu Li and the others immediately made a big detour and went to the rear of Xuzhou soldiers and horses.
This Liang Yong still marched quickly and marched on the border between the two sides.
This method is really good, it can put an end to the sneak attack of the army.
The marching speed was greatly accelerated, and Liang Yong was anxious to support Yuan Xi.
On the way, he also received a message from Yuan Xi asking him to support him as soon as possible.
Although Youzhou's soldiers and horses have half surrounded them, they have not attacked.
One is that Cao Cao came over suddenly, with unknown intentions, but he could guess that he wanted to prevent Zhang Yu from obtaining Youzhou.
The second is that Xuzhou soldiers and horses came to support.
Neither Tai Shici nor Zhang Liao moved Yuan Xi, but it didn't mean he was safe.
Liang Yong moved forward quickly, suddenly, he found an enemy in front of him.
That was another 30,000 soldiers ambushing, but Liang Yong judged that it was still the previous army.
"The whole army assaults, breaks through, and pays attention to both sides."
Liang Yong made such a judgment because he believed that the army should be preparing to besiege Yuan Xi, and the path they chose was to avoid the location of Zhang Liao's army.
Judging from his experience, Zhang Liao attacked two counties in a row, which required a large number of defensive troops and horses to prevent Yuan Xi from counterattacking, so there must not be many troops that can be used.
Xuzhou soldiers and horses began to charge.
Ye Long, Zhang Liao's deputy general, was also experienced in many battles, so the ambush he arranged was naturally not that simple.
"Assault, break through them."
"Both sides are preparing to break through their defenses and carry out a counter-kill."
Ye Long was lying in ambush in a place with dense forests on both sides, and the terrain was not dangerous.
Can't find a suitable location, so it can only be arranged in this way.
But such an arrangement is not without rules.
Liang Yong's army killed the past, with a posture of onslaught.
"kill."
Ye Long commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight out, directly blocked the road, and used shields to defend.
Their biggest purpose is to stop the enemy, not to annihilate how many enemy troops.
The middle of the road was blocked, and they could only storm through.
However, the defense of Youzhou soldiers and horses is so strong.
"Pay attention to both sides and send an army to kill them."
Naturally, Liang Yong would not ignore the two sides, and sent 5,000 troops to each side, holding shields, and slowly charged in.
If there is an ambush inside, you can block it. If there are not many people in ambush, they will kill them and then surround them.
The plan is very good, if the general army may fail in ambush, but Liang Yong has experienced many battles and has seen many wars, so naturally it will not be so simple.
Liang Yong's 10,000 soldiers and horses rushed to both sides, and began to encounter sporadic resistance, which verified Liang Yong's ideas.
Liang Yong's soldiers and horses continued to go deep, and they wanted to go around and attack the enemy blocking the road.
When they reached the depths, Ye Long's ambush was all out, and there were still many traps in the dense forest, and they attacked Xuzhou's soldiers and horses all at once.
Suddenly more soldiers and horses than expected appeared, Liang Yong also panicked, and quickly ordered the troops to withdraw.
"The archers stepped forward to respond."
Liang Yong was quite calm, knowing that there were many troops attacking them this time.
But it's okay, because the terrain here knows that the opponent has an ambush, and the opponent's advantage is not very big.
"We can only force our way through."
Liang Yong made up his mind that since the other party wanted to stop them from supporting them, they had no choice but to force their way.
Liang Yong began to deploy soldiers and horses, while defending the two sides, he forced his way to the front.
The army went up, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
Ye Long's soldiers and horses deployed on both sides also retreated after killing thousands of enemy soldiers, and had no intention of attacking them at all.
Ye Long ordered the army to retreat while fighting.
Then turn straight away.
A few miles away.
"Hmph, I knew these tricks were nothing more than delaying us." They were ambushed here and lost thousands of soldiers, at least they were delayed for three hours.
Liang Yong organized his army and continued to advance.
After marching for a few miles, the enemy was found again ahead. This time there was no ambush, but obstacles were set up in the middle of the road, and 10,000 troops blocked them.
The 10,000 troops were not the 10,000 troops just now, but the troops that had ambushed on both sides of the forest before. After they retreated, they set up an ambush in the rear.
