There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

For potters, this matter is a bit difficult to handle.

According to his original plan, he would ambush the soldiers and horses on the way down the mountain, and then launch an ambush against the Yizhou army, which would be settled in one battle.

But now that the opponent has more ways to go down the mountain, it means that they may not necessarily go down that way to attack the county.

On the mountain, these roads are relatively far away from each other, and they cannot help each other, and if they divide their troops to defend, their own strength may be insufficient.

The potter frowned, and then asked the county magistrate, "Do you understand the situation on the mountain in Jinqi County?"

The county magistrate shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this, but in the county town, there are many mountain people who often go up the mountain to cut or shoot. The prime minister should ask them."

The pottery merchant looked at him with a smile: "Then quickly bring him here."

Seeing the potter's smile, the county magistrate trembled for some reason, and hurriedly turned around to order someone to do something.

Not long after, the county workers brought a few mountain people, and the potter sent people to give them wine and food, and then asked them about the situation in the mountain.

Very smoothly, the potter got useful information from them.

It turns out that although there are only five roads into and out of the mountain, within the forest, there is only one source of water on the mountain.

Calculated according to the distance, even if the Yizhou army has crossed the mountain, they must have insufficient supplies before going down the mountain, especially water. Therefore, this water source must be their primary goal before going down the mountain.

When the potter heard this, he immediately asked these mountain people to lead his Danyang soldiers to the water source in the mountain.

The ambush is set at this place!

After a bit of repairing, the potter immediately led the Danyang soldiers into the mountain in person.

In the early morning of the next day, the Yizhou army, led by Zhang Ren, Ling Bao, Deng Xian, and Zhuo Ying, finally crossed the mountains and arrived at the Qianshan territory of Jinqi County.

After several days of trekking over mountains and ridges, the Yizhou army has long been in a state of distress. Although this journey can not be called full of hardships, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been overcoming obstacles.

In addition to Yizhou soldiers, Chang Xi, Wu Dun, Sun Li and other three Taishan thieves who had defected to Cao Cao were ordered to be guides.

Chang Xi's mouth was broken, but he kept nagging along the way.

"Damn it, I'm dying of thirst! For a small Jin Qi County, I've made me suffer so much! Just because of this suffering, if the emperor doesn't make me a marquis later on, I'm sorry for my treatment of the Han family. Such a contribution from the imperial court."

Zhang Ren has long been accustomed to Chang Xi's complaints along the way, he turned his head and glanced at Chang Xi, and said: "General Chang, don't worry, if we really capture Jin Qi County, it will be equivalent to breaking the potter's power." For the back road, let alone a feudal marquis, even if you add four towns and four conquests, it is not too much."

When Chang Xi heard the words, a happy expression appeared on his face: "You really mean what you say."

Zhang Ren nodded affirmatively, "Really."

Anyway, it was Liu Biao who asked the emperor Liu Qiong for orders, not Zhang Ren. Later, all the mess was piled up with Liu Biao, and Zhang Ren didn't worry about it, so he could brag to Chang Xi now.

Wu Dun looked up at the sky and said, "According to the time, we should be arriving soon, right?"

Ling Bao said: "According to the time, it is indeed almost the same. We need to be more careful now, and we will have to go down the mountain to attack the enemy soon."

Zhang Ren turned to Deng Xian and said, "Let the soldiers of the three armed forces stay where they are for the time being and take a rest."

When Chang Xi saw that Zhang Ren was going to rest, he couldn't help being angry, and hurriedly said: "We have traveled through mountains and mountains, and finally came here, isn't it for the purpose of sneak attacking him in Jinqi County? Now we are about to reach our destination. Why don’t you rush to attack the city? Why are you delaying here? Hurry up and kill them!”

Zhang Ren turned his head to look at Chang Xi, not angry, and said: "General Chang kept saying along the way, aren't you thirsty? But it's not safe to attack the county with your throat dry."

"Ah?" Chang Xi was stunned when he heard this.

But to be honest, he was really thirsty.

Zhang Ren said indifferently: "Even if General Chang is brave and mighty, and the gods descended from the earth, they are not afraid of thirst, but our soldiers in Yizhou are all flesh and blood. If they don't drink some water, I'm afraid they won't succeed."

"Yeah..." Chang Xi's face turned red all of a sudden, he rubbed his palms helplessly, and said, "What General Zhang said, oh, it's over, over! Isn't I just in a moment of anxiety? Actually, I really am too. Very thirsty."

Zhang Ren turned his head and told Ling Bao: "The three armies are temporarily resting on the spot and waiting for orders. Send people to look for water sources nearby."

When I was young, the soldiers of the Yizhou Army came back with news that there was a mountain stream nearby.

Zhang Ren immediately ordered the three armies to set off, and all rushed to the source of water.

When I was young, I came to the side of the mountain stream, but I saw that although the stream was not big, it was very clear and the water was cold.

For the Yizhou army, this is undoubtedly nectar.

The soldiers of the Yizhou Army ran to the edge of the creek one after another, and many of them buried their heads in the creek water, screaming happily.

Even Zhang Ren himself, who has always been calm, felt very refreshed after drinking the stream water, and he raised his head and sighed in satisfaction.

But as soon as he raised his head, he vaguely saw someone's head sticking out from behind the tree on the high slope of the mountain forest opposite him, observing his soldiers.

The man seemed to realize that Zhang Ren had seen him, but quickly retracted his head.

Zhang Ren trembled all over, and a bad premonition came to his heart instantly.

"Someone!" Zhang Ren roared loudly.

But the creek is too noisy right now, some Yizhou soldiers even started splashing water on each other, and there are very few people who can hear Zhang Ren shouting

But soon they will see what Zhang Ren sees.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow shot down from the mountain and hit a soldier on the back of the head. The Yizhou soldier was playing with his companions, and suddenly his expression froze, blood flowed down the back of his head, and his eyes were full of horror.

Immediately afterwards, large expanses of arrow rain surged out from the mountain!

"There are enemies! There are enemies!"

"Someone is on the mountain!"

"Run!"

Zhang Ren pulled out his saber, fiddled with the arrows, and shouted loudly as he stepped back: "Hidden, hidden! All hidden."

Chapter 837 The Enemy Meets

On the mountain opposite the creek, the Danyang elite soldiers fired wildly at the Yizhou soldiers below with the crossbows they had prepared long ago.

The Yizhou soldiers were caught off guard, and in the most relaxed situation, they were shot to the ground by these elite Danyang soldiers.

The blood flowed along the bank into the cold river water, and the blood-red blood that stirred up the clear river water was shocking.

Zang Ba was on the mountain, watching Yizhou soldiers being shot and killed by his own soldiers in a large area at the foot of the mountain, the excitement in his heart was beyond words.

"Good! Good! Good job, good job, hahaha, kill all these Yizhou dogs!" Zang Ba waved his fists and shouted loudly.

The pottery merchant frowned and turned to look at Zang Ba for a while, then sighed helplessly: "General Xuan Gao, you are also a member of the Jinling Army after all, can you be a little more careful about your behavior?"
