Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 182 Ambush
Just when Le Jiu was worried, suddenly, there was a strange noise in front of him.

Whoa, whoa!

Puff puff!
"Ahhhh!"

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Le saw countless stones and logs falling from the cliff in front of him, hitting the soldiers of Yuan Shujun who were walking.

"No, there is an ambush!"

"We've fallen into a trap, run!"

Countless stones were pushed down from the top of the cliff, and Yuan Shujun was thrown into the ground, screaming and fleeing in all directions.

The originally scattered formation suddenly became more chaotic.

When Yuan Shujun's soldiers saw rocks falling, they knew something was wrong and wanted to escape from this killing place.

But there were people on the front, back, left, and right, and they couldn't run away for a while, and suddenly screamed and pushed each other. Some soldiers were pushed to the ground, and before they got up, they were trampled by countless feet. The bone that was stepped on suddenly broke and broke, and I couldn't get up again.

What's more, if you directly use a knife and gun, whoever dares to block the way will be killed immediately!
"Run, there is a stone falling!"

Puff puff!
"Ahhh!"

Yuan Shu's army was ambushed and hit by countless stones. They were immediately in chaos and fled everywhere like headless flies.

Le's cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he immediately hissed, "Quickly get out, we are in ambush."

But in the panic, no one could hear him shouting, many soldiers only knew to run for their lives in a hurry, their minds were already in a state of confusion.

The Chinese army was attacked and there was chaos. Le managed to escape from the mountain with some people. Before he could catch his breath, two groups of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out from both sides of the mountain.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

"Don't let them go!"

Seeing that there was still an ambush at the mountain pass, Le's face changed drastically in fright, and he jumped on the horse in a hurry, ignoring the soldiers behind him, and ran away.

He only brought out more than 2000 soldiers. Once attacked by surprise, the whole army will definitely be wiped out.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Even Le was considered wise. After he ran away, the soldiers and horses left behind only persisted for half an hour. Except for those who died in battle, all the rest surrendered.

"Hahaha!"

Xiahou Dun looked at the captives of Yuan Shu's army, and couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Zhongde is really a good planner. He wiped out Lejiu's soldiers and horses easily, haha."

Shi Huan also rode over with joy on his face, "General Xiahou, as long as we eliminate a group of Yuan Shu's troops, our army will be sure of victory."

Xiahou Dun nodded, "Send an order to let everyone lie in ambush and wait for Chen Ji's soldiers."

……

Chen Ji led 15000 soldiers and horses, always remembering Zhang Xun's order, protecting the Chinese army from left and right, preventing Cao Jun from attacking the Chinese army.

At this moment, Zhang Xun's troops are attacking Pengcheng. If there is no accident, Cao Cao will definitely send troops to support Pengcheng, or directly send troops to fight Zhang Xun's troops.

After all, Pengcheng is the gateway to Xuzhou. As long as Pengcheng is breached, Xuzhou will be lost.

Chen Ji received the order not far from the central army, as long as Cao Mengde led his troops to face Zhang Xun, he immediately led his troops to surround Cao's rear and implement a siege strategy.

During this period of time, nothing happened, and Chen Ji was also happy to be at leisure, just sending his troops to attack small towns all over the place, and looting along the way.

On this day, just as Chen Ji ordered people to set up a large camp, Le rushed into the Chinese army tent in a panic.

"General Chen, it's not good. Our army has been ambushed by Cao Jun and has been defeated. Please hurry up and rescue General Lei, otherwise it will be too late."

"what?"

Hearing this news, Chen Ji was startled and stood up abruptly, "General Le, what did you say?"

Le calmed down his excitement, and then told the whole story.

"General Chen, General Lei's troops are in danger now. Our army is going to rescue them, but we don't want to be caught in an ambush. Please go to rescue General Lei."

"This?"

Chen Ji hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "General Le, let's report this matter to General Zhang and ask him to make a decision?"

Le sighed, "I have already sent someone to deliver a letter to General Zhang, telling him about General Lei's situation."

Chen Ji shouted at the door, "Come here, send someone to General Zhang to deliver a letter."

……

Outside the city of Pengcheng, Yuan Shujun's camp stretched up and down, spreading for several miles, with a huge momentum.

Zhang Xun was discussing the siege with the generals, when suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the big tent.

"Report!"

A spy came to the big tent, "General Chen sent someone to deliver a letter."

Zhang Xun hurriedly took the letter, opened it, his face suddenly became ugly, and he slammed the table.

"Cao Mengde, you are so cunning!"

Li Feng, the general of Huainan who was standing aside, hurriedly asked, "General Zhang, did Cao Mengde send troops?"

Zhang Xun threw the letter on the table and roared angrily, "Cao Mengde did not come to rescue Pengcheng, but went to attack General Lei."

Li Feng was stunned for a moment, and then cupped his hands, "Cao Mengde only sent more than 1 troops, and General Lei has 15000 soldiers and horses. I believe the two sides can be evenly matched."

Speaking of this, Li Feng paused, and then said, "General Zhang, why don't you let General Le go to the rescue. The two troops together have 3 troops, and they should be able to defeat Cao Jun."

Zhang Xun sighed, "General Le has sent someone to deliver a letter, and his soldiers and horses have rushed to the rescue, but he never expected to be ambushed, and the entire army was wiped out!"

"what?"

Li Feng's face changed, "General Le's army was wiped out, how is this possible, General Le has 15000 troops under his command, how could he be defeated so easily."

Zhang Xun waved his hand, "It has become a fact that General Le has been defeated. Now General Le has rushed to General Chen, asking for instructions whether to go to rescue General Lei?"

"This?"

Li Feng frowned and didn't speak. Liang Gang, who was standing beside him, said loudly, "Of course we must save, otherwise General Lei's troops will be defeated, which will be even more disadvantageous to us."

Hearing this, Zhang Xun frowned even tighter.

According to the plan to attack Xuzhou this time, we want to use the Central Route Army to fight Cao Mengde, and then take advantage of the situation to surround him and eliminate him in one fell swoop.

But he never thought that Cao Mengde would lead his troops to attack General Lei of the South Route Army, and took advantage of the situation to wipe out Lejiu's troops, and his right wing was severely injured.

If you don't rush to rescue Lei Bo, if he is wiped out again, the planned encirclement will probably be difficult to implement.

Li Feng frowned and said, "But if General Chen leads his troops, wouldn't it be bad if he was ambushed again?"

Liang Gang waved his hand, "I know the mountain in General Le's ambush, the terrain is really steep there, and it's the best place to ambush.

But there is only a section in the middle of the mountain that is suitable for ambush, as long as you pass there, you will be fine. "

Speaking of this, Liang Gang's tone paused, "Before entering the mountain, we only need to send two groups of soldiers to mount the mountain and search along the way to avoid the ambush."

Hearing this, Zhang Xun's eyes lit up, "General Liang, is it really possible?"

Liang Gang nodded, "Although the mountains on both sides of the official road are steep, there are small roads on both sides of the mountain. You can walk along the mountain. You can definitely find Cao Jun's ambush."

Hearing this, Zhang Xun slammed the table, gritted his teeth and said, "General Liang, since you are familiar with the place, then you should write a letter to General Chen and ask him to lead troops to rescue."

Liang Gang gladly accepted the order, "The last general obeys."

……

"Great!"

Looking at the letter sent by Zhang Xun, Chen Ji was overjoyed, and turned to look at Le Jiu, "General Le, General Zhang has promised us to go to the rescue."

After saying this, Chen Ji opened another letter, "General Zhang also said that General Liang is familiar with the place, and asked him to write us a letter to remind us of the precautions."

Hearing this, Le hurried forward to read the letter, and after reading it, he sighed.

"If I had read General Liang's letter earlier, I would have fallen for Cao Mengde's trick anyway. It's really hateful."

If he led troops forward last time, as the letter said, he would definitely not fall for Cao Mengde's tricks by sending soldiers and horses up the mountain on both sides to search along the way.

Chen Ji understood Le Jiu's mood, and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder, "General Le, the matter is over, we should hurry up and go rescue General Lei."

Le nodded, "I hope General Lei can hold on for a little longer, and don't make any trouble."

Chen Ji nodded, "As long as General Lei sticks to the camp, Cao Jun will have nothing to do with him."

On the day they received the letter, Chen Ji and Le immediately led their troops towards Lei Bo's headquarters.

The soldiers and horses led by Chen Ji came to the front of the mountain, and immediately sent two teams of spies up the mountain from both sides, searching for Cao Jun on the mountain along the way.

"Report!"

"Report to the general, the white flag is waving on the mountain."

Hearing the news from the spies, Chen Ji's nervous mood relaxed a little.

Because the soldiers and horses going up the mountain to explore the road are too far away to communicate by language, they can only use flags to indicate whether the mountain is dangerous or not.

The white flag represents safety.

A red flag represents danger.

Several waves of spies have come back to spread the word. The people who went up the mountain to explore the road raised the white flag all the way, but they did not find any trace of Cao Jun.

Chen Ji turned his head to look at Le Jiu, and said with a smile, "It seems that Cao Jun already knows that we will come again, and will go up the mountain to investigate, so he gave up here."

Le nodded, feeling a little anxious, "General Chen, since there is no danger, shall we lead our troops through the mountains?"

Chen Ji didn't answer Le Jiu's words, but turned his head to look at the spy, and asked loudly, "Have you ever crossed that cliff?"

The spy hurriedly cupped his hands, "The people on the mountain have already passed that cliff, and they haven't found any trace of Cao Jun."

Hearing these words, Chen Ji was relieved a little, waved to the soldiers behind him, and said loudly, "Send the order, let's go."

"Everyone, speed up and cross this mountain road as soon as possible."

"Whoever dares to delay on purpose will be punished!"

As the order was conveyed, the army immediately set off and advanced quickly along the official road near the mountain.

Chen Ji and Le just sat in the middle army and waited until the front army entered the mountain before leading the troops along the official road.

Just when the Chinese army had just entered halfway, suddenly, they rushed into the woods on both sides and killed two teams of soldiers and horses. It was Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

The soldiers of Yuan Shu's army, who were preparing to go on their way, had put away their knives and guns, and they were shocked when they saw an enemy approaching. When the counterattack sounded, Cao Jun had already rushed over.

"kill!"

Xiahoudun rushed into the crowd first, and the spear in his hand stabbed like lightning, and the two Yuan Shujun were shot and fell to the ground immediately.

Cao Jun soldiers were not to be outdone, and immediately rushed towards Yuan Shujun like a tide.

Yuan Shu's army was caught off guard, and generals at all levels screamed, trying to organize soldiers to fight back.

But unfortunately it was too late!
Cao Jun rushed into Yuan Shujun's camp like a torrent, and immediately started a frenzied killing. After a short time, he cut the rear army and the middle army into two sections.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Seeing the bravery of the enemy, Yuan Shujun became even more flustered. He had no intention of resisting, so he turned around and began to flee in all directions.

Chen Ji and Le were walking on the road when they suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from behind. Immediately afterwards, the rear army was in chaos and rushed towards the front one after another.

"not good!"

Chen Ji yelled, "There is an ambush behind us, we have been fooled."

Le gritted his teeth and roared, "Let's go back."

Chen Ji yelled sharply, "Send the order, the whole army will turn around, and we will fight back."

Although the two men had good intentions, the soldiers in the rear army were already panicking and running towards the central army.

The Chinese army wanted to turn around and face the battle, but encountered a collision from the rear army. In just a moment, the tight formation of the Chinese army was overwhelmed and spread towards the front army.

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Chen Ji saw that the rear army was getting more and more chaotic, and suddenly sweated profusely, "Hurry up and send an order to stop the front army and stop the chaotic army, we will fight back."

The rear army of Yuan Shu's army was defeated. Although the whole army was flustered, Chen Ji was the general of Huainan.

Seeing more and more soldiers rushing from the rear, Chen Ji gritted his teeth, and suddenly shouted, "Anyone who dares to rush into the army will be killed without mercy!"

Lejiu's eyes were red, and he took the lead in swiping his big knife, cutting down two soldiers who rushed over, and shouted sharply, "Whoever dares to retreat again, this will be the end."

At this time, the rear of Yuan Shu's army was in a mess, and countless soldiers were trampled to death. Seeing that the situation was not good, more soldiers were terrified and immediately surrendered on their knees.

Chen Jihele commanded the central army and the front army, and rushed towards the back road. Seeing that they were about to fight with Cao Jun, suddenly, there were bursts of horseshoes behind them.

A group of Cao Jun soldiers and horses rushed towards this side along the official road in the mountain, and the leader was Cao Cao Cao Mengde.

"Chen Ji, you are already surrounded, those who know the current affairs, get off your horse and surrender."

"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

Yuan Shu's soldiers were about to fight Cao Jun who came from the rear, but they never thought that another group of Cao Jun would be killed from behind them. Knowing that they were surrounded, they panicked.

At this moment, Xia Houdun and Cao Ren led the army to wipe out the rear army, and ruthlessly entered the middle army.

Yuan Shu's army was besieged on both sides, and immediately retreated after being beaten, and fled in all directions.

But there are mountains on both sides, even if you want to escape, where can you escape!
"Kill!"

"Ahhh!"

"Surrender quickly, or you will be killed!"

When Yuan Shu's soldiers heard the hope of life, some immediately put down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

"I surrender!"
