One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 446 Yuan Shu's Destruction

A hundred miles east of Wancheng, there is a county called Wuyin County, and there is a mountain in the east of the county called Zhongyang Mountain.

Zhongyang Mountain is about [-] to [-] miles in diameter, and it is a small mountain, but because it is located in the Central Plains and the surrounding terrain is flat, it is a rare mountain.

Zhongyang Mountain has two relatively large peaks, east and west. The east peak is called Piziling, and the west peak is called Zhenshan.Between the two peaks, there is a valley, and there is an official road running from east to west.

On this day, a team of 3000 people appeared on the official road of Zhongyang Mountain.In the team, there are about two thousand sergeants and about one thousand civilian husbands and miscellaneous men.

There are nearly a hundred carts in the team.Among them, there are dozens of large cars that are extremely luxurious in appearance and have carriages for seating people. The remaining large cars are all loaded with luggage and materials and look extremely heavy.

In front of the team, there were hundreds of cavalry clearing the way.Behind the cavalry, there are one or two large carriages drawn by six horses.This carriage is the largest of all carriages.

In this era, only the emperor can ride the six-horse carriage.According to the "Zhou Rituals", the emperor drives six, princes drive five, ministers drive four, officials drive three, scholars drive two, and common people drive one.Although the social hierarchy system of the Han Dynasty was different from that of the Zhou Dynasty, the rule of the emperor driving six was inherited from the Zhou Dynasty.

The only person who appeared in Nanyang County and could ride a carriage pulled by six horses was Yuan Shu, a false emperor who was not recognized by the princes of the world.

That's right, this huge team is exactly the team that Yuan Shu fled from.In the team, apart from the army protecting Yuan Shu, they were also Yuan Shu's servants and relatives.Those who can travel by car are all Yuan Shu's harem women.Half of the carriages pulling supplies were marching baggage.The other half, it was the people's fat and people's anointing, gold, silver and treasure that Yuan Shu had scavenged.

The feudal lords besieged Nanyang, and Yuan Shu knew that it was difficult to stop the feudal lords' attack, so he left Yan Xiang to defend Wancheng to attract the feudal princes' firepower, while he himself fled Wancheng with his harem relatives and looted money, and headed east.

When the team arrived at Zhongyang Mountain, a scout who was exploring the road ahead came back and reported to Ji Ling who was leading the team: "General, five miles ahead, the road diverges. There is a main road and a small road. Which one should we take?"

Ji Ling couldn't make up his mind, so he went to Yuan Shu's carriage and reported to Yuan Shu.

After Yuan Shu pondered for a while, he said, "Fu Yi, Qin Yi's soldiers and horses have entered Nanyang County. If he knows that we are going east, he will stop us. Zhongyang Mountain is the most suitable place to set up an ambush. Fu Yi, If you were Qin Yi, on which road would you set an ambush?"

Ji Ling thought for a while, and said: "If I were Qin Yi, I would definitely think that His Majesty is taking the road, so I set up an ambush on the road."

"Hahaha, then let's take the road." Yuan Shu laughed.

Ji Ling was startled: "Your Majesty, what are you..."

Yuan Shu said: "Then Qin Yi is very cunning, he will definitely guess, we can guess that he set up an ambush on the road, so the section of the road where he set up an ambush should be a small road. But we chose to take the road."

Yuan Shu's words are a bit convoluted, but they are not difficult to understand.Ji Ling thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty is right. But what if Qin Yi is not as smart as your Majesty and sets an ambush on the road?"

"That's not to be afraid, the road is easy to turn around, if we encounter an ambush, we will return immediately, and then take the trail."

"promise!"

Now that Yuan Shu had made up his mind, Ji Ling couldn't persuade him anymore, so he ordered the team to take the road.

The procession quickly hit the avenue.Ji Ling told the sergeant to stay vigilant and be ready to fight at any time.

Yuan Shu also picked up the car curtain, observing the situation on both sides of the road from time to time.

The team traveled about five or six miles without encountering enemy attacks.Go three or four miles further, and you will pass the boundary of Zhongyang Mountain.Yuan Shu couldn't help but relax. He smiled and said to Ji Ling who was walking beside his carriage: "Fu Yi, I'm right. Qin Yi really didn't set up an ambush on the road. No matter how cunning he is, he will eventually be wrong."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Ji Ling bowed to Yuan Shu immediately.

"Hahahaha..." Yuan Shu laughed proudly.

His laughter was not over yet, when he suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes in front of him, and the sound of rumbling war drums on the hillsides on both sides of the road.

"kill--"

"Don't leave Yuan Shu—"

A group of cavalry appeared on the road ahead, leading a flag with the word "Wei" written on it.

At the same time, countless flags were erected on the two hillsides, and soldiers appeared among the grass on the hillsides.

"No, I've been hit!" Ji Ling turned pale with shock.Yuan Shu's laughter stopped suddenly and was replaced by a look of panic.

"Yuan Shu, Wei Yan is here, quickly show up and be restrained!" The team of cavalry who appeared in front of the road roared first, and leaped towards Yuan Shu's team.

"Kill—" The cavalry behind Wei Yan and the soldiers on the two hillsides also rushed towards Yuan Shu's team.

"Quick, the rear team has changed to the front team, withdraw!" Yuan Shu shouted in a panic.

"Brothers in the front stand up, the rear team becomes the front team, withdraw!" Ji Ling was still calm, and immediately ordered.At the same time, he himself jumped forward to organize the cavalry in front to resist the ambush.

Yuan Shu's team fell into chaos, the people behind were busy turning around, and the people in front had no intention of resisting.

Ji Ling rushed to the front, and stabbed several soldiers trying to escape one after another with the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand, and then managed to suppress the formation and resist the attack of the ambush.

Wei Yan took the lead. With the help of stirrups, he wielded his spear with both hands, stabbing left and right, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

"The enemy general is going crazy, Ji Ling is here!" Ji Ling rushed to the front with great difficulty and fought with Wei Yan.

However, Wei Yan had the upper hand after all, almost beating Ji Ling.Ji Ling tried his best to resist for a while, and saw that the rear team had completed the U-turn and returned to the way he came, so he retreated while fighting.

Wei Yan pursued him so closely that Ji Ling could hardly breathe.

There are two teams, one is on the run and the other is chasing.Yuan Shu's team had many people, but they had no morale. Many people had dropped their weapons and fled towards the hillside.Those drivers and the servants in the team escaped faster one by one.

There was no one to drive the carriage, which blocked the road and made it even more difficult for the soldiers to escape.

Just at this time, another army appeared at the west end of the road. Judging by the banner, it was Zhang Liao.

Wei Yan and Zhang Liao each led a thousand men to block the two ends of Yuan Shu's team.

Seeing that both the front and rear routes were exhausted, many of Yuan Shu's soldiers surrendered immediately.No matter how Ji Ling and Yuan Shu yelled and threatened to kill the surrendering soldiers, it didn't work.

The official road was in chaos all day long.Some of Yuan Shu's concubines hid in the carriage and wept bitterly, while some got out of the carriage and looked for Yuan Shu everywhere.And those soldiers, not only did not have the will to fight, but the brave ones were already robbing the property on the carriage.
