Chapter 208 Using Snow as Soldiers (Part [-])
Chapter 216 Using Snow as a Soldier

On the official road from Zhangzi County to Huguan County, an army is marching.The strength of the army is about 2000 people, and they line up in a long queue on the narrow official road.

This army is not like a regular army, and there are very few soldiers in armor.Most of the soldiers were poorly dressed and very shabby, and many of them didn't even have winter clothes, and they were shivering while marching.

On both sides of the official road, the mountains are winding and white.Today's weather is fine, and the snow on the sunny side of the mountain has begun to melt.The blood clots on the branches of the trees rustled down from time to time.

At the front of the army was a cavalry force of about a hundred people.The military uniforms of these cavalrymen were much neater than those of the infantry behind them, and everyone wore leather armor.Obviously, these are the personal guards of the leader.

The cavalry formation is close to the front third, and two flags, one large and one small, are erected high.The slightly larger flag has a "Yang" character written on it, and the smaller flag has a "Li" character written on it.

Below the flag, two generals rode side by side. The general under the "Yang" flag is about 27 years old, with a black face and square face; the general under the "Li" flag is a little younger, about [-] or [-] years old, with a white face and a long face.

"Marshal, we will reach Qin Yi's garrison in more than ten miles, but our army has not even encountered a single enemy scout. The situation is a bit abnormal!" General surnamed Li looked worried.

General Yang smiled slightly: "Didn't Luo Kui say that Qin Yi only brought out [-] troops? He must have detected the strength of our army and dared not fight, so he went to attack Huguan County."

At this moment, a group of fast horses came straight ahead.

"The scouts are back." General Li said.

The scout rode to the front, jumped off his horse and reported to General Yang: "Commander, Qin Yi's army is tidying up the camp in a panic, as if they are about to escape."

General Yang's eyes lit up: "Hahaha, it's been said that Qin Yi is extremely powerful and resourceful, but he turned out to be an idiot. Our army has already marched to more than ten miles away from his barracks. If he doesn't immediately organize the army to fight, Instead, he was thinking of breaking out of the camp and fleeing. Brothers, march faster, defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and kill Qin Yi."

"Wait!" The general surnamed Li saw that the general surnamed Yang gave the order, and hurriedly stopped him. "Marshal, beware of fraud!"

The general surnamed Yang was stunned, thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm too worried about presenting the ceremony. If Qin Yi cheated, it was nothing more than setting up an ambush along the mountain road. But now the ground is covered with snow and the hillside is slippery, which is not conducive to setting up an ambush at all. Or, Luo Kui has plotted against Qin Yi's heart for a long time, and if he didn't tell me, I would not be able to see through the plan that he had thought up so hard, let alone Qin Yi didn't know about it. He must have seen our army suddenly drop into the eldest son county , I panicked for a while, and then I lost my response."

General surnamed Li listened to General surnamed Yang's analysis, and said: "The commander-in-chief's words are very true. However, don't fight recklessly, and there is nothing wrong with being careful."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and asked the scouts: "Is there any suitable terrain ahead for setting up an ambush?"

The scout thought for a while and said: "There seems to be no suitable terrain for setting up an ambush. Seven or eight miles ahead of here, there is a mountain called Xiechi Peak, which is about four or five miles long. It is very steep and difficult to climb, and it is close to the official road. This hillside is bare, without even a tree, so it can't hide people at all."

The general surnamed Yang heard the words and said with a smile: "Bongli, I'll tell you that you are worrying too much. After passing the Xiechi Peak, you will immediately reach the place where Qin Yi camped, and he will not set up an ambush."

General Li was still worried, and asked the scout again: "Is there a suitable place to set up an ambush opposite Xiechi Peak?"

The scout said: "The opposite of Xiechi Peak is a vertical cliff, let alone an ambush."

Then the general surnamed Li cupped his hands towards the general surnamed Yang and said, "Marshal, I'm the one who worried too much."

"That being the case, the whole army marches at full speed!" General Yang ordered immediately.

…………

Xiechi Peak is a mountain range.Running north-south, it is about four or five miles long and two or three miles wide.On the east side of the mountain, the slope is steep, with an inclination angle of more than [-] degrees. The mountain on the front is straight and flat, resembling an obliquely erected ruler, hence the name.

Under the Xiechi Peak is the official road.On the other side of the official road is a cliff.The length of the cliff is about two miles.The top of the cliff is relatively flat, shaped like a platform.The top of the cliff is overgrown with wild trees and densely covered with wild grass.This cliff also has a name. The locals call it Daoguan Cliff, which is also named after its shape.

Qin Yi's guess was not wrong, the army that came was Yang Feng's subordinate of the Baibo Army.The two generals leading the army are Yang Feng, the commander-in-chief of the Baibo army, and Li Le, the fake commander and military adviser.

Yang Feng and Li Le led the army to the foot of Xiechi Peak, and they looked at the terrain on both sides of the road while marching.

"The terrain here is extremely steep. If Qin Yi is given enough time to prepare, if he sends troops to prepare rolling logs and rocks on the peaks on both sides, our army may be buried here." said. "It's a pity that we came so fast, Qin Yi didn't have time to prepare, and this good terrain was wasted."

Li Le agreed and said: "Yes, I still admire Luo Kui. He actually came up with such a clever plan to persuade the commander-in-chief to attack the eldest son county with him. Even if Qin Yi wanted to break his head, he would never have thought of it." , our army will suddenly appear in the territory of Zhangzi County like a magic soldier descending from the sky. How could he have the time to be ready..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Le suddenly fixed his eyes on the foot of Xiechi Peak.

"Fengli, what's the matter?" Seeing that Li Le's expression was different, Yang Feng asked quickly.

Li Le raised his hand and pointed at the foot of the mountain, wondering: "Look, Marshal, why are there so many plants at the foot of the mountain?"

Yang Fengshun looked around and saw that at the foot of Xiechi Peak, a long strip was piled up with vegetation, extending to both ends of the mountain.The grass and trees were partially covered by the snow, and the exposed part was about two feet wide.

"Probably the nearby villagers are afraid that the snow will melt and the avalanche will bury the road." Yang Feng said after a little thought. "Look, there isn't even a tree on this Xiechi Peak, and it's so steep, if the snow starts to melt, it's very likely that it will form snow... No, if it's to prevent avalanches, the grass and trees won't help at all. .”

"Xue Beng?" Li Le frowned, and then his face turned pale in shock: "No, we are ambushing!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden loud noise from the cliff opposite Xiechi Peak.Yang Feng and Li Le looked up subconsciously.

"Buzz buzz..." With the sound of bowstrings vibrating, a row of rockets shot down from the cliff and fell straight into the vegetation belt at the foot of Xiechi Peak.

As soon as the ground was lifted, the long strip of grass and trees was immediately ignited, and countless ignition points rose up at once, like a row of lanterns.

Immediately afterwards, each fire point quickly spread towards both ends, and almost in the blink of an eye, the strip of grass and trees formed a fire dragon.Obviously, the igniter that was doused on the strip of grass and trees was most likely tung oil or vegetable oil.

"Get out of here immediately!" Seeing this, Yang Feng gave the order in a panic, not expecting that this was a trick of the enemy army.

"Quick, break out at both ends!" Li Le also yelled in fright.

But most of the soldiers didn't react immediately, they were still staring at the fire dragon at the foot of Xiechi Peak in a daze.
