Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 562 Danyang Ambush
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, his fiancee is a wonderful thing, this is to aspire to be Mu Guiying of the Southern Tang Dynasty!

"Do you really want to follow?"

Peng Jingjing said very seriously: "Of course, one is to protect you. If I am not by your side, I can't see you, so I don't feel relieved! The second is to integrate theory with practice. Isn't this what you told me, can't It’s just talking on paper, so I’m going with you!”

Su Chen smiled lightly, now Peng Jingjing has also learned to argue, and can say many reasons to refute.

"It seems that I can't persuade you anymore."

"Hee hee, anyway, I will go wherever you go. The more dangerous I am, the more I have to follow. You are my fiancé and my future husband-in-law, and I have to protect myself!" Peng Jingjing's small mouth also became sweeter, I understand some love stories.

Su Chen said: "Okay then, follow along, you must obey the command, I won't let you fight, don't act recklessly, and act privately."

Peng Jingjing took his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry to make meritorious deeds, or to kill people like hemp, whether I can make a move or not, I just want to see if it is necessary, and I will follow your orders."

Su Chen nodded slightly, the matter had come to this point, he could only allow her to follow, otherwise, it would be difficult to appease her.

"Let's sleep together at night, with my arms around you!"

Peng Jingjing blushed when she heard this, but she didn't object.

After all, the two haven't had a relationship yet, even if they sleep with their arms around each other, they just kiss for a while, taking advantage of it, and won't make the last step.

After blowing out the candles, the two lay down and fell asleep.

The next day, as soon as the fifth watch was over, the transferred troops began to assemble.

They had already received the notice last night, and they started to line up at this time, and when the sky dawned, they started to set off, traveling lightly and at full speed.

Two thousand cavalry, two thousand archers, and one thousand soldiers, led by Yan Yan and Ma Chengxin, marched towards the land of Danyang in the northeast.

Su Chen and Peng Jingjing were also in the team. Su Chen was the supervisor of the army and brought three hundred personal guards, led by Jing Hong.

The 5000 men and horses marched forward without any delay. They did not camp or make meals on the way. They only rested briefly at noon. After eating dry food and water to replenish their strength, they continued to move forward, and finally arrived at Danyang at a quarter of the afternoon. The area, the mountains beside the Danshui River.

The establishment of Danyang began in the Warring States Period, and it was originally Yunyang Township. In the "Shan Hai Jing", there is a river called "Dan River", that is, the Danjiang River. It was named Danyang according to the theory that "the mountains and rivers are yin and yang, and the north of the water is yang".

Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, implemented the system of prefectures and counties, changed Yunyang Yi to Yunyang County, and soon changed its name to Qu'e County, and at the beginning of Tang Dynasty, Qu'e County was renamed Danyang County.

In the first year of Qianyuan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 758), the imperial court changed Danyang County to Runzhou, and Danyang County belonged to Runzhou.

5000 men and horses lurk in the hills and mountains in the north of Danshui, the archers occupy the favorable terrain in the mountains, the soldiers hide in the jungle, and the cavalry hide in the mountains behind.

"Supervisor, you are the number one scholar, you don't need to participate in the battle, you can just strategize from the rear." Yan Yan said politely, but he didn't dare to put Su Chen in danger!

Even if the ambush is successful, if the Soviet supervisor is injured and an accident occurs, then Xi Yan feels that his life will be lost.

The victory of this ambush is far less important than Su Chen's safety, this is what Xi Yan, Ma Chengxin and others think.

Su Chen smiled slightly, and said: "Understood, as long as it is not necessary, this officer will not go off to join the battle in person, so don't worry!"

Hee Yan and Ma Chengxin felt relieved a lot.

"Is your division of labor clear?"

He clasped his fists and replied: "The last general is in charge of commanding the archers, Duyuhou Ma Chengcheng is in charge of the two thousand cavalry, and Duyuhou Ding Yi is in charge of the one thousand armored soldiers. Listen to my orders and cooperate with the attack."

Su Chen asked: "Can the scouts sent out detect the progress of Wu Yue's soldiers?"

Ma Chengxin replied: "The scouts have already paid off. Wu Yue's vanguard soldiers and horses are still seven or eight miles away from here, and they can arrive in half an hour."

Su Chen nodded and said: "The water here is not rushing. The Wuyue soldiers didn't prepare boats. When they got here, they could only use rafts or wade across the river here. Some places are just waist-deep. It's just right to set up an ambush here. .”

"I hope it will come true!" Yan Yan and the others were somewhat nervous.

If you can't ambush on the road that the Wuyue soldiers must pass, and wait for them to miss, then the 5000 troops will be in danger of being exposed, and they will be encircled and suppressed by the opponent's [-] vanguard troops, and there will be a big change.

"Get ready for the ambush."

After Su Chen finished speaking, the generals were ordered to retreat.

Peng Jingjing looked around, checked the terrain, and also considered whether there was a chance to make a move.

There were so many people, but Peng Jingjing didn't take the initiative to speak, and asked Su Chen questions regardless of her status, and she became more and more aware of her sense of proportion.

Half an hour later, Wu Yuebing's vanguard arrived at the Danshui River.

The flags fluttered, and the 1-strong team lined up like a long snake formation and reached the river beach.

The vanguard general of this army, named Bao Zhi, led four Duyuhous under his command, and [-] soldiers and horses acted as the vanguard, responsible for opening the way for the main force and approaching Runzhou.

"Where is the front?"

One of them said: "Go back to General Bao, there is Danshui ahead, there is a shoal, the current is not strong, you can cross the river, but some grain, supplies, and vehicles need to be carried by rafts to cross the river."

Bao Zhi asked, "Why don't you take the official bridge?"

Zhang Yong, Marquis of Yu, the capital of Wu and Yue, replied, "People in Runzhou were worried about our army crossing the river, so they destroyed the cable bridge crossing the river a few days in advance. Cross the river, then catch some local Danyang people and come to build the bridge."

Bao Zhi pondered for a while and said: "Soldiers are expensive, and we can't waste time here. As a vanguard, when we arrive in Runzhou quickly, the Tang army in Runzhou will be afraid, and we can't make more deployments, but we can control Runzhou City as soon as possible." People from other villages and towns provide us with food, grass and coolies, so as not to go late and be cleared by the walls, we will not get much benefit!"

"General Bao is right, let's cross the river as soon as possible!"

"Okay, cross the river in batches!" Bao Zhi ordered.

"Here!" Several Du Yuhou led the army and started to cross the river.

Some Wu and Yue soldiers are cutting pillars and wood to make rafts, place food and weapons, etc., and transport them across the river.

After a while, half of the Wuyue vanguard had already crossed the river, and when they were not boarding the river beach one after another, Su Chen finally ordered an ambush.

"Swish, whoosh, whoosh—" Two thousand bows and arrows shot out from the string, vibrating through the air, and the calcium carbide flames pierced the air.

These arrows were aimed at Wuyue soldiers who had just landed and were still repairing. Without any preparation, facing the sudden rain of arrows, many people were shot.

Puff puff!
The arrows pierced their clothes and armor, and some soldiers wailed and fell in blood.
