Chapter 777 Ambushes Everywhere

Zhou Yu knew what Sun Quan was worried about. Cao Cao was so powerful that it would be too difficult for Sun Quan to contend with Cao Cao alone.

"My lord can gather the remaining soldiers and defeated generals, and use more naval forces to harass Cao Cao."

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed: "Although Cao Cao's troops are strong, most of his men are from the north and are not used to water warfare. It will take at least one or two years to train as a naval force. Our army only needs one or two years as a buffer to persevere. Sooner or later, there will be a day when the clouds and mist will clear up and the sun will shine through."

Yuzhang County is different from Wu County, Kuaiji County, etc. The water network here is densely covered with various tributaries scattered around, which is where the navy is located.

Sun Quan frowned and said, "Okay, now I can only persist."

That is to say, if Sun Quan were replaced by other princes, if only one county was left, under such a miserable management, he would have surrendered to the enemy long ago. It was Liu Cong, the youngest son of Liu Biao, who still had the seven counties of Jing and Xiang under his command, and had 100,000 soldiers, so he still surrendered to Cao Cao.

On that day, Sun Quan ordered to gather the scattered soldiers, and at the same time, he built warships to consolidate the defense of Chaisang, and often repelled the invading Cao army. But this is a story for another day.

At this time, Liu Ye was leading the 50,000-strong Liangzhou army, marching through the high mountains of Bashu.

The land of Bashu is covered with mountains and forests, and it is quite difficult for the army to march. Therefore, Liu Ye led the Chinese army to march slowly. On the other hand, he sent the vanguard army to build bridges across the water and cut roads across the mountains. This would inevitably damage the ecology, but it would only open up a path. The roads are conducive to local people's travel in the future.

I saw a mighty army of tens of thousands marching between the mountains and ridges, with flags fluttering in the military formation, and the momentum was quite majestic.

In the woods on the side, there was a faint sound.

"Is this the Liangzhou Army? I didn't expect that there are so many soldiers and horses, and they are so majestic. They are really our army's formidable enemy!"

"Yes, no wonder the general Liu Ye has been invincible in recent years. He has such a group of strong soldiers who are accustomed to fighting under his command. I am afraid that King Zhou You will also rise to prominence."

Two generals of the Yizhou Army gathered together and pointed at the Liangzhou Army in the distance, with a sense of awe in their words.

"Hmph! To increase the ambition of others is to destroy one's own prestige."

A cold snort came, and the two Yizhou military generals suddenly became serious. They turned around and whispered: "Grand Governor."

The visitor was not tall, only of medium height, with a stern face and a fearless look in his eyes. He was Zhang Ren, the general of the Yizhou Army.

The Yizhou Army was familiar with the terrain, so they had already sent scouts to detect the traces of the Liangzhou Army. Zhang Ren knew that the main force of the Liangzhou Army would definitely take the Jiameng Pass road, so he boldly led 20,000 Yizhou soldiers, planning to attack in the middle of the road. Dao laid an ambush and gave the Liangzhou army some color.

The tall and thin Shu general who spoke just now looked hesitant. He cupped his hands and said, "Grand Governor, the Liangzhou army has strong soldiers and horses. Are our troops sure about an ambush?"

"What, Leng Bao, don't you dare?" Zhang Ren said coldly.

Leng Bao's face turned red: "What did the Governor say? This is just for the Yizhou Army."

"How can important military matters be changed overnight?"

Zhang Ren said directly: "You are all ready to go to war immediately. The two units in front and behind will attack separately without making any mistakes."

Leng Bao and Deng Xian clasped their fists respectively and said "Here".

After giving the order, Zhang Ren's eyes were fixed on the Liangzhou Army in front of him, as well as the gorgeous pole in the middle army, which represented the general's banner.

"No matter who comes to invade Yizhou, Zhang Ren will kill him!"

The order was passed down level by level. The 20,000 Yizhou Army were in high spirits. Looking at the Liangzhou Army in black clothes and black armor in front of them, two emotions of fear and nervousness emerged at the same time. An atmosphere before the war enveloped the entire Yizhou Army. State Army.

The 20,000 Yizhou troops waited nervously for the order. Soon after, the rumble of war drums suddenly sounded, like the chariot of the God of Thunder driving across the earth. The sound of horns then rose into the sky, shaking the earth with its sound.

"kill!"

Leng Bao roared angrily and took the lead in leading his army to charge out. Nearly ten thousand Yizhou troops followed closely behind him and pounced towards the Liangzhou army not far away. Deng Xian was not to be outdone. When he saw Leng Bao rushing out first, he also stood up and shouted: "My sons, the Liangzhou army has invaded my territory. Good men, follow me to kill the enemy."

The shouts of killing were loud, and tens of thousands of Yizhou troops suddenly rushed out from the woods, stood up from the ground, and then rushed towards the Liangzhou army.

The Liangzhou Army was a little panicked for a moment, but after all, they were elites who had experienced hundreds of battles, so they quickly reacted and formed a tight formation under the orders of their respective generals to prevent enemy invasion.

The Yizhou Army rushed out fiercely, and like a roaring wave, it violently collided with the Liangzhou Army's formation.

"Cut quickly, quickly!"

The Liangzhou Army was on the march, so the formation was inevitably a little scattered. When forming a formation to protect themselves, it was divided into several pieces. Zhang Ren's vision was quite vicious, and he spotted the relatively weak joints between the Liangzhou Army, and immediately He led the Yizhou army to kill him.

The soldiers of the Yizhou Army came towards the junction of the two armies with great momentum. The Liangzhou Army was caught off guard and was cut into several groups by the Yizhou Army, and they had to fight on their own.

"kill!"

The Sichuan army was brave and the Yizhou army was brave and skillful in fighting. They launched a fierce attack on the Liangzhou army, which was surrounded by several troops. The Yizhou army had many generals and many people. Hundreds of Liangzhou soldiers were under siege by the Yizhou army. It was like a pile of sand on the beach. Suddenly a large wave of waves came up and was submerged in an instant.

"Protect the general!"

Guan Hai shouted loudly, and thousands of Liangzhou warriors formed a circular formation, surrounding Liu Ye, fearing that someone would rush up.

"Don't worry Zifu."

Liu Ye comforted him, then looked intently, and couldn't help but frown.

"This group of Yizhou soldiers is quite courageous. Their numbers are inferior to ours, and they dare to ambush them halfway."

"What are the general's orders?" Guan Hai asked.

"Order the forward and rear troops to quickly move closer to our army. There are a lot of Yizhou troops gathered here. If they can be wiped out in one fell swoop, it will be even easier to pacify Yizhou this time." Liu Ye's eyes flashed with a glint.

"yes!"

Guan Hai passed on Liu Ye's order. After receiving the news, the forwards and rear troops of the Liangzhou Army rushed towards the Chinese army at high speed.

The total number of the Liangzhou Army was as much as 50,000. Although the forward and rear troops were absent, the number of soldiers and horses of the Chinese Army still exceeded that of the Yizhou Army. However, under the surprise attack of the Yizhou Army, they fell into a disadvantage. .

The Yizhou soldiers are proficient in mountain warfare, but the Liangzhou soldiers have been fighting on the plains of the North for many years. Suddenly entering the high mountains and ridges of Yizhou, they are a little unaccustomed, and the Yizhou army is even more powerful.
