Chapter 159 Ambush

.The night is dark, and a lonely moon is hanging high in the sky...

Under the bleak moonlight, Gao Chu slowly pulled out his horizontal knife and gently lifted it up in the air. The deep artemisia bushes behind him appeared like ghosts. These Chu soldiers were all covered in black scales and held double-edged swords. The sharp blades reflected a cold and cold light under the moonlight, which was cold and solemn that they were suffocating.

A thousand steps ahead, you can already see the flames.

Needless to say, it must be the old camp of the Aries tribe. After searching in the desert for several days, he finally found the old camp of the damn Aries tribe. In an instant, a trace of extremely ferocious murderous intent appeared on the corner of Gao Chu's mouth. The general clearly ordered that if the old camp of Aries is broken, no matter whether it is old or young, no matter whether it is male or female, they will be beheaded!

Gao Chu then led the horizontal sword in his hand forward, and the armored soldiers behind him began to slowly move forward.

Amid the rustling footsteps, the two thousand armored soldiers slowly approached outside the Aries Old Camp.

When the distance was less than fifty steps, Gao Chu pulled his bow and arrow. With a "swoosh" sound, the two Hu people on the whistle tower in the distance had already fallen backwards. With one arrow, only one arrow, Gao Chu shot and killed two Hu people!

Gao Chu's arrow suddenly sounded the horn of the Chu army's attack. In an instant, the two thousand armored soldiers roared to the sky like beasts, and then raised their double-edged swords and crossed the low walls, swept into the old Aries camp like a tide. The old, young, women and children of the Aries tribe were awakened from their sleep, but what awaited them was...

Jiuyuan, the Hu people have been besieging the city for more than ten days.

King Lou Fan was not stupid. He knew that Jiuyuan City had a deep and deep ditch. He also knew that the old Qin people were sharp in equipment. If Lou Fan Ren attacked for a strong attack, he would definitely suffer heavy losses. Therefore, he did not drive troops to attack, but just divided his troops to defend the east and north gates, and then let the Aries tribe and Lin Hu tribe defend the west and south gates respectively, preparing to trap the old Qin people to death in Jiuyuan City.

At noon that day, King Loufan summoned King Aries and King Hu of Lin to have a banquet in the tent.

The three Hu kings were half drunk and watched a few more songs and dances of Hu girls. When they were each hugging Hu girls to vent, a Hu man with blood and disheveled face staggered into the big tent. Seeing the Queen of Aries, the Hu man knelt on the ground and said tragically: "King, old camp, old camp was attacked..."

The Aries King was shocked and said sternly: "What did you say? The old camp was attacked?"

The Hu man nodded repeatedly and said wailingly: "King, the old Qin people, it was done by the old Qin people!"

"Old Qin people?!" King Aries took a breath and said in a lost voice, "It's bad, no, I have to go back to the old camp quickly, otherwise our Aries tribe will be over. First...

After saying that, the Aries King turned around and was about to leave.

King Lou Fan quickly stood up to block the Aries King's way, and said unhappily: "King Aries King, we agreed to besiege Jiuyuan together. Now that the war has started, how can you just leave?"

King Lin Hu also said: "Yes, what's the matter if you leave now?"

The Aries King said anxiously: "I am different from you. You are in the Loufan tribe and the Linhu tribe, both the cattle, sheep, women and children, but my old, young, women and children are all in the old camp. If the old camp is in trouble, my Aries tribe will be over. No, I have to take the army and go back to the old camp quickly. King Loufan, please get out of here!"

Seeing that the Aries King looked ferocious and obviously moved, King Lou Fan had to make way.

The Aries King then let go of his right hand holding the sword handle and walked quickly from Lou Fan.

Watching the Aries King leave, King Hu asked dumbly: "King Loufan, will Jiuyuan still surround him?"

"Encircle, of course!" King Lou Fan said angrily, "Without the Aries Tribe, we will fight this battle. Moreover, in the future, the city of Jiuyuan will be destroyed, and the women, children, slaves, and the equipment of the old Qin people will not be the case with him. All women, children, and food and equipment will be divided equally!"

King Lin Hu hummed twice and stopped talking.

Xiangzhuang stood in the wind on a small hill, trying his best to recognize the surrounding environment.

When he was a soldier in his previous life, Xiangzhuang had gone deep into Hetao to participate in outdoor training several times, and had a considerable understanding of the terrain of the entire Hetao. However, now, he could hardly find any terrain in his memory. There is no way. The ecological environment of Hetao in this era is very different from that in later generations.

At this time, there was almost no desert in Hetao.

Standing on the low mountain top, looking around, you can see all the rolling mountains. The mountains are full of lush and lush primeval forests, and there are large areas of rivers, water and meadows between the primeval forests. Just by looking at it, you can know that this is an extremely fertile land. No wonder the Huns were so sad when they lost Hetao.

Wei Liao stepped forward and stood behind Xiang Zhuang two steps, and said with emotion: "What a pity, what a pity."

Of course, Xiang Zhuang knew what it was like to be Wei Liao, but Wei Liao was like to be like. If the tens of thousands of Guandong soldiers and civilians who had forced Qin Shihuang to fill Hetao did not return, and if the 100,000 Great Wall Legion left by Wang Li to Meng Yu was still in Hetao, the Chu army would not have to travel thousands of miles back to Jiangdong, and just gain a foothold in Hetao.

However, Xiang Zhuang knew very well that even though more than 100,000 military and civilians in Kwantung were still there, and even if the 100,000 Great Wall Legion was still there, the Chu army was afraid that it would not be able to gain a foothold in Hetao, because the Guanzhong Plain was south of Hetao, and the north was increasingly powerful. At this stage, neither Liu Bang nor Maodun could compete with the Chu army.

While speaking, a fast horse rushed to the top of the hill like a wind storm.

"General." The personal soldiers on the horse's back turned over and dismounted, bowed and said, "The Hu people are here!"

"I understand." Xiang Zhuang nodded, then turned around and ordered Jin Xiang, "Tell the troops to be prepared!"

"No!" Jin Xiang responded to the promise and turned around and ordered, and more than a dozen personal soldiers of the cavalry had already left.

After a while, Jin Xiang suddenly pointed to the low ridge northeast and said to Xiangzhuang, Wei Liao: "General, military advisor, Hu people are here."

Xiang Zhuang turned around when he heard the sound and saw a rider suddenly popping up behind the ridge.

Immediately afterwards, dense Hu cavalry emerged from behind the ridge, swarmed down the ridge, and then swept along the ridge toward this side. In less than a moment, the valley between the dense forests was already filled with dense Hu cavalry, and behind the ridge in the northeast, Hu cavalry continued to rise up.

Soon, there was no other sound between heaven and earth, only the rumbling sound of horse hooves.

According to the information, the Aries tribe also has at most more than 10,000 cavalrymen, but it seems that there are 100,000 cavalry!

Looking at the Hu cavalry rushing forward in the valley below the mountain, Xiang Zhuang even had an illusion that the Hu cavalry rushing forward turned into a first-class gray torrent, and the mountain bags under his feet became an isolated island in the torrent.

Xiang Zhuang suddenly realized that when Liu Bang was trapped in Baideng Mountain, the Huns might have only 40,000 cavalry!

Because the distance between the cavalry queues is much larger than that of infantry, the square formation of one thousand cavalry is almost the same as that of ten thousand infantry, and the Aries tribe has only more than ten thousand cavalry, but it gives people the feeling that there are more than 10,000 cavalry. Liu Bang, who was trapped on Baideng Mountain, would definitely have the same illusion. Without definite information, it is easy to mistakenly think that the Hun cavalry had 400,000.

This can also explain why the Huns surrounded Baideng Mountain for seven days and seven nights, but could not conquer it. After the subsequent infantry of the Han army arrived, the Huns took the initiative to retreat. Otherwise, with Maodun's heroic spirit, if he really had 400,000 cavalry in his hand, how could he let Liu Bang go easily?

While meditating, Hu Qi had completely entered the river valley.

Xiang Zhuang turned around and ordered Jin Xiang, "Jin Xiang, raise the fire!"

"No!" Jin Xiang agreed with the promise and turned around and waved his hand suddenly.

More than a dozen personal soldiers who had been waiting for a long time threw the torches in their hands on the dry firewood pile in front of them.

The dry firewood pile that had been poured with hot oil suddenly started to burn. The rolling flames baked the wolf dung on the top, and soon a wave of wolf smoke rose into the sky.

In the half-man-deep artemisia bushes, two thousand Chu troops were hiding in it.

Xiao Kai knelt on one knee, bent down and lay down in the grass, his face looked a little serious.

Through the thick grass, the black Hu cavalry was swarming from the river valley in front. The Hu cavalry in the front was less than a hundred steps away from Xiao Kai's hiding place. Xiao Kai could even clearly see the faces of those Hu people. At this moment, Xiao Kai's ears were completely obscured by the sound of horse hooves like tides, and he could no longer hear any other sounds.

Suddenly, a striking wolf smoke surged from the top of the mountain on the left.

Xiao Kai immediately got up, then pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and pulled it forward and pulled it forward!

The two thousand Chu soldiers who were about to suffocate, jumped up one after another, picked up hemp ropes from the grass as fast as possible, and then suddenly used force to pull them back. The next moment, the sharp wooden fences at the top suddenly stood up from the grass, and the rows of sharp wooden stakes faced the Hu Qi swept in front.

When Hu Qi at the front found something wrong, the distance was too close and there was no time to react.

The next moment, hundreds of Hu cavalry rushing at the forefront violently hit the rows of sharp wooden stakes, and then they were nailed to the wooden stakes. Only a few Hu cavalry with super-powerful riding skills jumped high and avoided the front row of wooden fences, but they were soon nailed to death by the back row of wooden fences.

The Hu Qi in front was blocked and suddenly stopped irresistibly.

But the Hu Qi behind was still ignorant and was still rushing forward. Although these Hu people have lived on horseback since childhood and their riding skills are excellent, they have become hasty and can't react. In an instant, thousands of Hu Qi had already collided hard, and even if there were people on the back of the horse, the horses were neighing and the people were boiling.
