I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

After Yuan Shu occupied Lujiang County and Jiujiang County, he garrisoned troops in Wanxian County and Liyang City respectively.

Among them, there were 5000 people led by the mighty general Liu Sandao in Wan County, and 1 people led by the general Xing Daorong in Liyang City.

From Anhui County to Liyang City, there is Chaohu Lake in between.

If the reinforcements from Wan County want to reach Liyang City quickly, they can only detour south of Chaohu Lake.

In addition, there are natural dangers of the Yangtze River south of Chaohu Lake, so Wei Chu and others can easily deduce the march route of Wan County's reinforcements through the map.

It is precisely because of this that not long after Huang Gai led his troops into Liyang City, Wei Chu issued new orders to Huang Gai.

Huang Gai's 3000 men needed to reach the north of Xiang'an as quickly as possible and find a suitable location for an ambush.

As for Jiujiang City, it can only be temporarily left to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to defend it.

Fortunately, the coalition formed by Sun Jian and Liu Yao only had about seven days' journey left from Liyang City. News of the fall of Liyang City spread back to Yuzhou, and it would take at least 20 days for Yuzhou to send reinforcements to Liyang City.

Although Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin only have 300 people in their hands.

But these 300 people are completely enough to maintain the security of Liyang City and take care of the already frightened prisoners.

"General Wei, what do you think of the place in front of you?"

Huang Gai sat on his horse and pointed to a valley ahead and continued: "If the reinforcements from Wan County want to reach Liyang City as soon as possible, they need to cross the valley ahead through the official road. We have set up ambushes on both sides of the valley. When the enemy passes through the valley, we only need to hold the high ground and fire arrows, which will cause huge damage to the enemy."

As a veteran around Sun Jian, Huang Gai naturally has a vicious eye.

The place he chose was condescending and indeed suitable for an ambush.

However, after hearing Huang Gai's words, Wei Chu did not nod immediately, but instead focused his attention on Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong relied on shooting cold arrows and was known as the divine killer.

In terms of ambushes and Yin people, Huang Gai is definitely not as good as Ma Zhong.

This is also called specialization in the art industry.

Seeing Wei Chu's eyes on him, Ma Zhong suddenly became energetic.

He quickly took a step forward and said to Wei Chu: "General, the valley pointed by General Huang is indeed very suitable for an ambush."

After hearing Ma Zhong's words, Huang Gai raised his eyebrows slightly.

He secretly thought with pride, "This guy Ma Zhong may be a little thinner, but he has good eyesight."

However, Huang Gai was only proud for a moment, and Ma Zhong continued from the side: "However, the ridge of the valley is not long enough. If we set up an ambush above the valley. There are 5000 enemy troops, and we can only kill 2000 with the help of an ambush." In addition, the slope of the valley is too large. After the enemy reacts, he will definitely charge us in turn, and our troops will suffer casualties as a result."

"I personally think we should set up an ambush in the mountains and forests ahead."

"A bunch of nonsense."

As soon as Ma Zhong finished speaking, Huang Gai couldn't help but shouted to Ma Zhong: "The enemy has 5000 people and we only have 3000. We were able to kill 2000 of the enemy's people through an ambush, which is already a very good result. As for casualties, , an ambush is also a war. Casualties are normal in a war."

Huang Gai is a veteran, and Ma Zhong does not want to clash with Huang Gai.

So he raised his head and looked at Wei Chu, until Wei Chu nodded slightly. Ma Zhong then turned around and hugged Huang Gai.

"General Huang, it is good to kill 2000 people through an ambush. But killing these 2000 people will not help us take Wan County. Therefore, we must find a way to eat all the enemy's 5000 people."

Ma Zhong's words made Huang Gai raise his eyebrows instantly.

Turning to look at Wei Chu again, Huang Gai finally couldn't help but asked Wei Chu: "General Wei, do you still want to eat Wan County with 3000 people?"

Huang Gai felt that Wei Chu's ambition was too great.

Wei Chu did not hide anything from Huang Gai, he nodded gently to Huang Gai.

"If 3000 people can take down Liyang City, they can also take down Wan County. Ma Zhong is right, we must eat all the 5000 people from Wan County in one bite. And while eating each other, we also We must ensure that our side suffers few casualties.”

"But Wan County is completely different from Liyang City. We were lucky to win Liyang City. It may not be easy to win Wan County with 3000 people."

After all, Huang Gai was getting older.

At Huang Gai's age, he likes stability when doing things and is no longer particularly keen on taking risks.

"First of all, I need to correct one thing. Our ability to capture Liyang City was definitely not due to luck. Because Xing Daorong, Yan Xiang, and thousands of enemy soldiers in Liyang City were not killed by lightning or hail falling from the sky. , they died under our swords."

"Secondly, Wan County and Liyang City are indeed different. Because in Wan County, Mr. Qiao is responsible for handling us. With the Qiao family's status in Wan County, the Qiao family assists us, and we can quickly stabilize the situation in Wan County. So. It should be much easier to capture Wan County than to capture Liyang City."

"Much easier?"

Huang Gai glanced at Wei Chu, but after all, he did not continue to argue with Wei Chu.

Huang Gai thought for a while, then turned to look at Ma Zhong again.

"You said that the valley is not conducive to the vicinity, and the enemy needs to be put into the mountains and forests. Do you think that the mountains and forests are more suitable for ambush? Don't you know that the enemy can also charge us in the mountains and forests."

Without waiting for Ma Zhong to answer, Huang Gai said from the side: "Let me remind you, this is in the army, and there is no joke in the army. In the army, everyone needs to be responsible for what they say."

Huang Gai's words were a bit unkind.

Fortunately, Ma Zhong did not have the same experience as Huang Gai.

"I personally went to investigate the mountains and forests over there. The official road leading to Liyang City will also pass through the mountains and forests in front. And because of the terrain, the official roads in the mountains and forests are relatively narrow."

"In addition to this season, the weather is dry. We can definitely wait for the enemy to move along the official road and set fire to both sides of the official road."

"When the fire breaks out, the enemies on the official road will definitely fall into chaos. At this time, we only need to release arrows on the high ground on both sides of the official road, and we can easily kill the enemy."

Flames can inflict damage to the enemy, block enemy charges, and interfere with the enemy's line of sight.

As long as Wei Chu and others occupy the high ground, they can kill the enemy troops calmly.

As long as it is properly controlled and arranged, it is indeed possible to annihilate the entire enemy army with a fire while the army is ambushed in the mountains and forests.

Seeing Huang Gai shut his mouth, Wei Chu smiled and said: "General Huang, you are responsible for leading people to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. Ma Zhong, you are responsible for leading people to arrange the ambush site. Kill these five thousand reinforcements, and we will march into Anhui." county."
