One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 392 Ambush Liu Bei ([-])

Qin Yi never told the truth to Zhao Yun or Hua Xiong.In fact, his real idea was to destroy the military rations escorted by Liu Bei.

Qin Yi learned from the two soldiers in Square City that Liu Bei would escort a batch of military rations to the front line tomorrow.After returning to the camp, he discovered through the map that Guangchang City was not only behind Jieqiao, but also in the northwest direction of Jieqiao.

According to common sense, Gongsun Zan's grain storage area should be close to the front line and located directly north of the boundary bridge.Only in this way can the supply lines be shortened.However, Gongsun Zan actually wanted to transfer food from Guangchang City. This shows that the Youzhou Army on the front line must be short of food.

If the grain escorted by Liu Bei could be destroyed, then Gongsun Zan's army on the front line would definitely be greatly affected.

As for wanting Hua Xiong to capture Guangchang City, it was Qin Yi's idea to hug the grass and beat the rabbit.It is best to achieve this tactical goal, and it does not matter if it cannot be achieved.

Because Qin Yi couldn't explain how he learned that Liu Bei was going to escort the grain out of the city, so he could only perfunctory Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong.

The plan was established, and Qin Yijun acted immediately.The soldiers were quietly woken up by the soldiers on duty at night.It took nearly half an hour for Qin Yi to assemble his troops.Afterwards, he and Zhao Yun led a thousand soldiers, left the barracks, and Zhao Yun led them to the target location.

Anyway, there are mountains blocking the view, so Qin Yi is not afraid of being exposed, so he lets the soldiers light torches and move forward.Zhao Yun led the way, and Qin Yi followed Zhao Yun closely.

The small road mentioned by Zhao Yun is a road trampled by the villagers.The road conditions are complex and changeable. In some places, although the road is narrow, it is very open on both sides, allowing many people to pass side by side; in some places, there are towering rocks on both sides, and only one person can pass; some places are very flat; But it is extremely steep; in some places the road is obvious, in other places it is hidden among the weeds.

Moreover, there are often forks in the road.Even Zhao Yun, when he encounters a fork in the road, he has to deliberate repeatedly to determine the direction of travel.Two or three times, Zhao Yun took the wrong road and had to return after walking for a while.

Stopping and going like this, going around in circles, the marching speed is extremely slow.During the journey, some soldiers sprained their feet and had to leave the team and stay where they were to rest.Qin Yi also had to set up a small team of more than a dozen people to take in these stragglers.

In summer, the dawn is early, at four o'clock at Yueyin time, that is, when the later generations come to four o'clock, the sky is already dawning.Qin Yi's soldiers and horses finally walked out of the mountains and came to the wide official road.

Qin Yi immediately ordered the soldiers to remain in place and rest.Then, he sent scouts to investigate the situation in Guangchang City.In addition, Qin Yi also sent several scouts to investigate the terrain ten miles around their resting place.

In this operation, although the soldiers changed from cavalry to infantry, the middle and upper-level officers and scouts led the horses.This is also the need for combat.

After walking the mountain road in the middle of the night, the soldiers were exhausted. After stopping, many of them lay down on the ground and fell asleep.It's very hot this season, even in the morning, it doesn't feel cold anymore.

Qin Yi did not dare to sleep. He and Zhao Yun mounted their horses and walked along the official road, looking for a suitable place for an ambush.

Both Qin Yi and Zhao Yun walked this path last year.The two traveled south for five or six miles, and they came to a fork in the road.

"Zilong, I know that this road leads to Changshan Kingdom in the southwest, and where does the road to the southeast lead to?" Qin Yi asked Zhao Yun, pointing to the road in the southeast.

"This road leads to Tang County in Zhongshan Kingdom." Zhao Yun said.

"Then if you walk along this road, can you reach Jieqiao?" Qin Yi asked again.

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "I have never walked this road. Logically speaking, I should be able to reach the boundary bridge."

"If we go from Guangchang County to Jieqiao, is there any other way besides this one?"

"Of course there are other ways." Zhao Yun said, "From Guangchang to the east, passing through Fanyang County in Youzhou, and then turning south, you can also reach Jieqiao. But if you take that way, you have to go around more than 200 meters. Land."

"That's right!" Qin Yi nodded and said, "Let's go to Tang County to find out."

The two rode to the southeast, and after walking about seven or eight miles, they found a terrain that was very suitable for an ambush.

"It's here." After observing the place, Qin Yi said.

"Second brother, what do you want to do?" Zhao Yun asked Qin Yi in confusion.

Qin Yi smiled slightly: "I want to lure the Guangchang defenders here to carry out an ambush, so as to create an opportunity for Hua Xiong to attack Guangchang County."

"How to lead the enemy here?"

"That's it... go back and check the news that the scouts have found out, and then make a decision!" Qin Yi still kept it secret.

Zhao Yun followed Qin Yi back to the resting place of the soldiers in a daze.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the soldiers had rested for more than an hour.Qin Yi then ordered the soldiers on guard to wake everyone up.Let them eat some dry food to replenish their strength.

While the soldiers were eating, the scouts who went to Guangchang City to inquire came back.The scouts told Qin Yi that they found a convoy transporting food and grass out of Guangchang City, and they were heading in this direction.

finally come!

Qin Yi immediately asked the scout: "How big is that convoy? How many troops are escorting it?"

"The convoy consisted of nearly 800 carriages and escorted about [-] soldiers."

"Are the soldiers cavalry or infantry?" Qin Yi asked again.

"There are about a hundred cavalry, and the rest are all infantry." The scout replied.

"Very good, you go and rest first!"

After sending the scouts away, Qin Yi said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, God help me. Now, we don't even need to lure the enemy out of the city. The enemy has already arrived."

Zhao Yun was also very excited, but he quickly frowned and said, "The border bridge in Guangchang is so far away, how can you transport a large amount of grain out of the city?"

"Gongsun Zan must be short of food." Qin Yi said with a smile, "No matter what the reason is, now that they have left the city, all subsequent plans of our army can be launched."

"Then how should we fight this battle?" Zhao Yun asked.

Qin Yi thought for a while, then whispered his plan to Zhao Yun.While listening to Qin Yi's narration, Zhao Yun kept changing the expression on his face.For a while, he nodded frequently, for a while, he was a little puzzled, and for a while, he seemed dumbfounded.

After the two discussed the plan, the soldiers were full.Qin Yi immediately ordered the whole army to set off and head south.

He also sent scouts to the north to inquire about the marching speed of the Guangchang City grain transport team.

After Qin Yi led his army to the predetermined ambush site, he immediately deployed it.He dispatched two hundred soldiers to follow Zhao Yun.The rest of the soldiers, led by him, withdrew from the ambush for five or six miles and hid.
