Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 64 Shoal Ambush Battle

Nothing is hidden, nothing is covered up.

After Gao Yanchou led five thousand soldiers down the mountain from Qingniling, he went straight to Fengzhou along Chencang Road.

Li Tinggui led the remaining [-] soldiers to follow far behind.

Stepping on the muddy mountain road, Gao Yanchou quickly passed through Gu Town and Maling Village, and directly killed Fengzhou City.

Looking at the heavily fortified Fengzhou City, Gao Yanchou just glanced at it, walked around Fengzhou City without looking back, and swaggered into Chencang Road in the direction of Huanghua Valley.

Stepping on the gravel-covered narrow road, Gao Yanchou couldn't help laughing: "This Luo Youdu is really considerate, if he survives by chance, I can spare his life..."

The road to Shu is already difficult to navigate, and now it is the rainy season, the road is extremely muddy, one deep and one shallow, and even a little muddy water seeped into the boots, which is very uncomfortable.

Stepping on the newly built gravel road, Gao Yanchou felt a little happier.

Gao Yanchou smiled and said to his lieutenant Wang Luan: "This Luo Youdu is obviously worried that our interception of their grain team is too slow, so he specially built a road for us."

In the words, there is obviously nothing that puts Luo Youdu in his eyes.

From letting an unknown general take over the defense of Fengzhou city, to dragging Zhang Jianxiong, Yang Yuan, and Zhao Tang to brothels, or suddenly arranging soldiers and servants to collect gravel to pave the road a few days ago, they all happened one after another.

Although it is understandable that Luo Youdu wants to have a good road for the grain transportation team, but the Chencang Road is so narrow and long, what's the use of only building the section near Fengzhou?
You must know that the road is the only way if there are many people walking. The Chencang Road near Fengzhou has been repaired by the people of Fengzhou for a long time, and the road environment is not bad.

The food transportation team has overcome the most difficult section, so they still care about the section in the north of Fengzhou?
Just wasting effort for no reason.

"Quicken your pace! Arrange You Yi to investigate the movement of the opponent's food team!"

Gao Yanchou gave the order.

A few Youyi soldiers rode short war horses and headed north along Chencang Road.

You Yibing rides a Shu horse, about the size of a donkey. It is a unique horse in Shu. It is not fast, but it climbs mountains and wades like walking on flat ground.

Running in the mountains and forests, it will not be inferior to the Hequ horse.

About half an hour later, You Yibing sent back the news.

"We found Zhou Jun's grain team in the shallows of the Jialing River two miles ahead!" You Yibing said with a flustered expression, "It's just that we found out for them. Kang Yu was hit by an arrow, and his life and death are unknown."

A flash of excitement flashed in Gao Yanchou's eyes, and he said, "It's okay, hurry up, send the order, speed up the march, and get ready for battle."

The food and supplies of the [-]-strong army, cart after cart, spread all over Chencang Road like a long dragon, stretching for a few miles.

Even if they found their traces, it would be too late to retreat and turn around.

With this batch of food, they can completely consume it with Zhou Jun.

As for whether there will be reinforcements in the direction of Fengzhou, it is not under consideration for the time being. He has [-] people in his hand, and he can definitely pack up the food team while resisting the reinforcements from Fengzhou behind.

As long as Li Tinggui's follow-up reinforcements arrive, the reinforcements in Fengzhou City will be nothing more than steamed meat on a knife board.

They hurried all the way along Chencang Road.

Arriving at the place where You Yibing found the food delivery team, he really met Zhou Bing.

It's just that what's waiting for them is not the food transportation team, but an elite team that is ready to fight.

Zhang Jianxiong looked at the Shu soldiers in front of him, his eyes were full of shock, and a thought came to his mind: "Isn't Luo Dujian a god?"

The situation in front of him didn't allow him to think too much, Luo Youdu's ingenious calculation had already been engraved in his heart at this moment, he was full of confidence in winning this battle, and shouted in his mouth: "Little ones, let's eat meat!"

As he shouted, the golden drums on the mountain road on the left sounded like rain of arrows.

Zhang Jianxiong took the lead. Chen Cangdao was not suitable for horse fighting, so Ma Qian threw him aside, holding a thick-backed iron knife in his hand, and chopped off the head of a Shu soldier.

He was like a madman, slashing left and right with a big knife, really like chopping melons and vegetables.

The heads and arms of the Shu soldiers were under his sword, and they were all flying left and right. Under the dancing of the iron sword, they were either dead or disabled.

The Chencang Road was wide and narrow, and they happened to be near the shallows of the Jialing River, so there was enough space for ambushes and fights.

Zhang Jianxiong's sudden blow directly stunned the vanguard of the Shu army and forced them to squeeze onto the shallows.

Gao Yanchou's face changed drastically when he saw Zhang Jianxiong's fierceness, and there was only one thought in his mind, which was the trick.

Although he didn't know Zhang Jianxiong, the opponent was definitely not the food transportation team.

If the Zhou army's grain transportation team has this kind of combat effectiveness, then there is no need to fight, and they can just surrender.

"Quick, go and inform General Li!"

Gao Yanchou couldn't figure out what was going on, but it was very clear that the situation of the war had exceeded their plan, and changes had to be made.

All of this was naturally arranged by Luo Youdu in advance.

It turned out that Luo Youdu's initial plan was to lure Li Tinggui and Gao Yanchou to attack the city, pretending that he was a scholar who didn't understand military affairs and could be bullied at will, to show his weakness to the enemy.

He even took Zhang Jianxiong, Yang Yuan, and Zhao Yu to drink flower wine all day long.

But as time passed day by day, Luo Youdu couldn't wait for any news from Li Tinggui and Gao Yanchou, so doubts arose in his heart.

"Are you really thinking too much?"

Drinking flowers and wine for several days in a row, the relationship between the four has been further improved.

Zhang Jianxiong and Yang Yuan took care of Luo Youdu's face and never mentioned the matter of the bet.

Luo Youdu couldn't let it go, he had enough confidence in the judgment of the Shu Kingdom's economy, and it was hard to imagine that under such circumstances, the Shu Kingdom would have to fight a protracted war with them.

"Aren't you afraid that you will run out of food and pay, and you will be unsustainable?"

Grain rates!

In an instant, Luo Youdu reacted.

The opponent is more intelligent than he imagined, their goal is not Fengzhou, but their food.

The reason why Wang Jing arranged for him to guard Fengzhou was not because Fengzhou was about to become a transit station for grain and grass, and someone needed to be in charge here.

Thinking of this, Luo Youdu immediately approached Zhang Jianxiong and asked him to lead two thousand soldiers to set up an ambush in the shallows of the Jialing River.

Zhang Jianxiong resisted at first, so he found an excuse and said, "If the enemy really has an idea about our food system, they will definitely have their eyes. Once the two thousand soldiers leave Fengzhou City, people will find out immediately, and they can't hide it from them."

Luo Youdu felt that what Zhang Jianxiong said was reasonable, but also knew that he lacked confidence in himself and was unwilling to mess around.

But Luo Youdu quickly thought of a solution.

He ordered the people in the city to collect gravel, and on the pretext of building roads, sent soldiers and laborers out of the city to sprinkle gravel on the muddy Chencang Road.

He sent soldiers to carry gravel out of the city, 500 people went out at a time, and [-] people came back, and this was repeated ten times in two days, and Zhang Jianxiong's army was sent out without anyone noticing.

Seeing that Luo Youdu was thinking about this, Zhang Jianxiong couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Thus, there was this ambush.
