Chapter 577: Am I alive?(2/2)
On the high hill, the Zhuozhou soldiers who had been on guard for a long time saw that the army was about to charge towards them. They immediately turned around and ran away, roaring to the other side of the high hill.
Huangfu Song and his men were in hot pursuit.
Due to the huge difference in mobility between cavalry and infantry, the Zhuozhou Army's infantrymen were determined not to be able to outrun Huangfu Song's horses. It wouldn't take long for Huangfu Song to catch up and kill with his own hands those who dared to humiliate him.
bastard.
But when Huangfu Song was able to catch up to the high hill, the horse's head had just emerged, and Huangfu Song vaguely heard a roar.
"Prepare—release!"
There was a sharp shout.
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of bowstrings exploding, and thousands of chirping sounds like a flock of birds frightening their nests.
Huangfu Song was the first to charge, and his horse had just stepped onto the high hill. The moment Huangfu Song saw the perspective behind the hillock, what Huangfu Song immediately saw was a large black figure, and countless arrows like locusts overwhelming the sky.
Generally swept over.
The reflections of countless arrows quickly magnified in Huangfu Song's eyes, and Huangfu Song's eyes tightened instantly. (My life is at risk!) Huangfu Song sighed bitterly in his heart.
Choo Choo Choo!
The sharp cry of the arrow passed by Huangfu Song's ears.
Puff puff puff puff!
At the same time, countless arrows hit Huangfu Song and his horse. The horse was hit by arrows, and Herod screamed after being hit by random arrows.
In a panic, Huangfu Song couldn't tell how many arrows he had hit. In the emergency, his skilled bow and horse body instinctively reacted subconsciously.
Huangfu Song made a dexterous movement to avoid the arrow and quickly landed on the horse's back. He pulled the frightened horse's head back with a strong tug on the reins.
"drive!"
Huangfu Song, who was lying tightly on the horse's back, kicked the horse's belly hard in an awkward posture, urging the horse to escape.
The sound of chirping arrows could be heard endlessly, and a continuous stream of arrows were thrown out from behind the high hillock. The official cavalry that was the first to rush to the high hilltop stopped their charging momentum in the rain of arrows, and then continued to wreak havoc in the rain of arrows.
Among them, he fled back in embarrassment.
There was a sudden change in front, and the cavalry retreated. The slower infantry saw that the situation was not good and quickly retreated.
The officers and soldiers, who were running with lightning speed, fled down from the high hillocks, and even more collapsed like a tide. They had to flee two hundred steps before they stopped their rout.
After escaping back, Huangfu Song, who was still in panic, touched his forehead where the arrow was hit with trembling hands, touched his chest and throat where the arrow hit, and asked the people next to him with a trembling voice, "Am I alive?"
——
Huangfu Song had countless arrows in his body, including his forehead, throat, chest, and arms. However, Huangfu Song was unscathed and was still alive, not even injured.
Soon, an officer cavalryman who had been hit by an arrow pulled out a feather arrow from his arms and showed the arrow to Huangfu Song.
Huangfu Song took a look at the arrow and saw that the arrowhead was made of pottery, blunt and edgeless, and was clearly made of Ming Dy.
No, it's not Mingdi. Mingdi also has arrows.
This Zhuozhou army's Mingdi has no front.
More soldiers who were hit by arrows reported that although they were hit by several arrows, they were not injured at all.
Huangfusong immediately understood that the Zhuozhou army had no intention of hurting anyone, so he responded with pointless arrows. If the Zhuozhou army had not spared his efforts, he would have been defeated on the spot.
Huangfusong raised his head again and looked towards the high hill. Behind the high hill, the arrow rain stopped.
Huangfusong was in extremely complicated mood at this time.
First, Huangfu Song later realized that he had fallen into someone else's trick of provoking his generals. He couldn't bear it for a moment and advanced rashly, almost losing his master and humiliating his life.
Second, the Zhuozhou Army's deliberate forbearance made Huangfu Song both ashamed and angry.
Huangfu Song even felt that it would be better to be shot to death on the spot by the Zhuozhou Army than to be let go.
Huangfu Song, who was in a complicated mood, looked at the soldiers beside him, who all looked panicked.
Suddenly Huangfu Song saw the soldiers' eyes changed, and immediately turned his head and looked towards the high hill. Behind the high hill, he saw groups of Zhuozhou soldiers marching out, one group after another, seemingly endless.
At the halfway point of the formation, the rear team followed closely behind, followed by the first team, and then another team came out from the high post.
Huangfu Song and his officers and soldiers watched in silence as the Zhuozhou army filed out until it covered the entire high hill, and the entire army was silent.
After the Zhuozhou Army's ambush troops were all out, Huangfu Song realized that the hundreds of Zhuozhou Army's ambush troops who were sent out first were just a ploy to underestimate the enemy. The Zhuozhou Army ambushing here numbered tens of thousands.
Why didn't Huangfu Song know that he was being plotted by Zhuozhou Army again?
I thought that the Zhuozhou Army had seen several waves of ambushes before, and that the Zhuozhou Army's ambush was less than one. I thought that the Zhuozhou Army's strength was finally exhausted and there was no longer enough troops to set up an ambush on the road ahead.
The changes in the ambush were actually part of the Zhuozhou Army's calculations.
We know that in ancient times, Sun Bin had a plan to reduce the number of kitchens, but now we have seen a plan to reduce the number of troops. It is almost as good as Sun Bin's skill in using troops, and will be feared by future generations.
Li Mengxi still didn't know that Huangfu Song, the general of the Han Dynasty Zhonglang, said that Li was as good at using troops as Sun Bin. If Li Mengxi knew that Huangfu Song had such a comment, Li Mengxi might not be so complacent.
On the high hill, a general of the Zhuozhou Army came out from the huge formation of the Zhuozhou Army. The general of the Zhuozhou Army shouted to Huangfu Song from a distance, "The surrounding area is uneasy and there may be bandits and bandits. My military advisor is here to take care of you."
The road ahead is peaceful, please go forward, general!"
Huangfusong took a deep look at where Gaogang was and led his troops forward.
The Zhuozhou Army's ambush site was built with a high hill, a depression behind it, and a high hill behind it. It was a concave basin-like terrain, which was perfect for hiding troops inside.
A question: Huangfusong came from Julu and then retreated to Julu. During the seventy or eighty miles, could Huangfusong know all the terrain along the way? Can he remember that there is a highland basin here?
Huangfu Song didn't know everything.
When they wanted to capture Julu City before, they had clearly passed through Julu before, but due to the rush of the march, they did not have time to take a look at the city. Therefore, they did not know the details of Julu City. When it came time to attack the city, they had no idea. From this, Li Mengxi realized
Whenever you arrive at a place, you must carefully check the local topography and the surrounding topography. Because the movement of soldiers is unpredictable, and it is uncertain when the camp was set up one day, it will become the place where the army will fight the next day.
When you arrive at a place, you should know more about the terrain. If there is a war in the future, you should know the geographical advantages and win first.
Li Mengxi has realized the importance of collecting intelligence as much as possible.
The problems exposed by Li Mengxi were actually found in Huangfusong, a veteran on the battlefield.
Huangfu Song marched back and forth twice and could not fully understand the terrain along the way.
Sure enough, one of Li Mengxi's guesses came true again. Who knows when the place they encountered during the march would be the place where they would fight in the future. Who knows when the terrain information collected was put to use inadvertently.
If Huangfusong could be rigorous enough and know the terrain of every place he could walk, then Huangfusong, who had already walked through it when he came, would definitely know that there are high hills and basins when he retreats, and he would definitely know where to go.
Scout investigation, then, the Zhuozhou Army's most important deterrent, without the suddenness, the deterrence effect will be greatly reduced.
After passing the high hill, Huangfu Song walked forward again. After a few miles, he could still encounter an ambush and fight out.
Without exception, the ambush encountered behind was not large in number, usually only two to three hundred people.
However, Huangfu Song did not dare to provoke the hundreds of ambush soldiers.
The 30,000 officers and soldiers were so frightened by hundreds of ambushes that they did not dare to move rashly.
Having learned from the past, Huangfu Song could not guarantee whether the hundreds of Zhuozhou troops hiding in ambush would be supported by tens of thousands of troops behind them.
The strength of the Zhuozhou Army has been exhausted, and there is no more than 300 troops in front. However, the purpose of deterrence of the Zhuozhou Army has been fully achieved. A mere few hundred ambushes have the effect of millions of people.
From time to time, three to two hundred ambushes would come out to scare the officers and soldiers. The effect would be that from time to time, tens of thousands of ambush soldiers would suddenly emerge from the old forest. The officers and soldiers would not be able to hide, so they would have no idea of fighting back.
The officers and soldiers marched hastily that day. In just one day, they arrived less than six miles away from Julu.
When we arrived at a township market, it was near Julu, where the village market was gathered.
When the officers and soldiers were about to pass through the gathering, Huangfu Song saw several old men sweeping the streets leisurely with brooms, which he regarded as strange.
Huangfu Song stepped forward and asked, "Old man, why are you cleaning here?"
The old man with white hair and beard stopped moving, raised his head, and said with a smile, "My military advisor ordered us to clean up this street and prepare General Huangfu for garrisoning troops.
The military advisor has no other respect. He has already prepared lambs and wine to reward your three armies.
Come, come, General Zhonglang, come with me..."
