The Three Kingdoms' Need for a Master

Chapter 300 The Valley Ambush
Zhou Yu's offensive seems to be swift and fierce, but the threat to the city wall is actually very small.

During the whole night of fighting, none of the enemy troops attacked the city.

"Lord."

Xi Zhicai rushed over.

"You haven't slept yet?" Qin Fan asked casually.

Xi Zhicai smiled wryly: "There are shouts of killing everywhere, where can I sleep. How is the situation?"

"It's okay." Seeing that he was wearing thin clothes, Qin Fan took off his cloak and tied it on him. "I don't know what Zhou Yu wants to do. He has been attacking all night without any rules. It's just a waste of time." war."

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon." Xi Zhicai pondered, "I always feel that Zhou Yu has something big to do."

Qin Fan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Whatever he is, if soldiers come to block him, and water comes to cover him, how can he be afraid of him?"

After ordering people to go down to clean up the battlefield, Qin Fan was going to go back to sleep, but he didn't sleep well for two days, and he was really tired and flustered.

After waking up in a daze, seeing Xi Zhicai again, his face was heavy.

Qin Fan scratched his head, "Zhicai, why don't you take a rest?"

Xi Zhicai looked up at him, "My lord, there are spies coming to report. Liu Yao is leading an army of [-], and he is coming to take revenge."

"Fifty thousand?" Qin Fan said blankly, "So much?"

Xi Zhicai also had a puzzled look on his face, "Supposedly it shouldn't be, this all-out attack will not do him any good, and I don't know what Zhou Yu said to make him send out all the troops."

The two looked at each other and said in unison: "We can't let them meet."

Xi Zhicai took the map, pointed to it and said, "I've seen their marching route, and the best way to avoid their meeting is to ambush here."

Qin Fan turned his head and looked, only saw a long and narrow valley, if the army passed by here, it would be very dangerous.

"Liu Yao is not an idiot, we are here to ambush, he will definitely know."

Xi Zhicai nodded slightly, "So we can only give up here. We don't have enough troops to stay here forever."

Qin Fan's eyes lit up, "What does Zhicai mean? Give up here, where should it be?"

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly, "If they march at a normal speed, they should arrive at noon tomorrow, and we can find another place to ambush. The time must be at night, which will create the illusion that they don't know how many troops we have. This is a good opportunity to ambush. "

"Give me [-] soldiers and horses, and I will lead the army," Qin Fan said.

Xi Zhicai shook his head, "Shanling is a small city, and there are only [-] people who can really go to the city to protect it. We have a lot of reserve troops. If I give you [-], even if there is a fight, it will be easier to retreat."

"Ten thousand is enough." Qin Fan stared at the map and said, "Where should the exact location be?"

"Based on the normal marching route, they should have arrived at Xieling. The weather is so cold that it is impossible to march at night. Therefore, I conclude that they should camp here."

Qin Fan saw that the place Xi Zhicai pointed to was an unmarked place.

Draw a circle, "The approximate range is here."

He laughed and said: "There is no valley here yet. When they set up camp at night, they will definitely send spies to look. With Liu Yao's vigilance, he suffered a loss last time, so he will definitely not be so careless this time. Get rid of all these spies without realizing it, otherwise the valley will be difficult, let alone ambush."

Qin Fan nodded straightly, and Xi Zhicai's analysis made sense.

"That's why I can only ambush here." Xi Zhicai pointed to another place, "I asked the people of Shanling in this place, there is a lot of dry grass, they can ambush a little farther away, and then attack with fire. As long as they can scare them away In fact, Liu Yao has already won."

"Then we have to wait until tomorrow morning?"

"That's right." Xi Zhicai said, "There's no way around this. Liu Yao will definitely send a lot of spies. As long as the valleys on both sides are occupied, it will be difficult for flies to cross. If they attack, the sneak attack plan will be tantamount to failure."

Xi Zhicai's plan is very simple, take advantage of the time when people just wake up in the morning, and the vigilance of Liu Yao's army is also in the valley.丨The confidence of using fire to scare away Liu Yao's army is at least [-]% sure. "

The night was dark and starry, and the wind was cold.

Qin Fan led Dian Wei, Xu Sheng, and [-] elite soldiers, and quietly left the city from the mountain.

Although there were a few stars hanging in the sky at this time, it was so dark that no one could be seen ten meters away.

Qin Fan asked everyone to tie white cloths on the backs of their hands so that they could be easily recognized in the dark.

"Follow up, keep up." Qin Fan commanded the team to move forward.And let the spies who are used to walking in the dark explore the surrounding situation.

It took the army more than two hours to arrive at the place Xi Zhicai said.

There is no shelter here, and the wind is a bit strong, Dian Wei came over, "Master, are we waiting here?"

"Almost." Qin Fan said, "This place should be outside their investigation."

"It's so cold here. I won't freeze to death until tomorrow."

"Let everyone lean on each other and keep each other warm."

Even though Qin Fan is now in a strong body, he is still terribly cold at this moment.

After walking two steps back and forth, and choosing a suitable place to ambush with Xu Sheng and others, Qin Fan lay in a low ditch, staring at the dark night in a daze.

Compared with Shanling, it is wider and the view is farther, but it is also limited.

"What time is it?" Qin Fan asked casually.

"Children."

"Child time?"

Qin Fan summoned Xu Sheng, "Wen Xiang, let me ask you, when will Liu Yao's army be most relaxed?"

Xu Sheng was slightly stunned, puzzled and said: "Didn't the military master say that they will pass through that valley in the morning?"

"It's true, but it's not too accurate." Qin Fan smiled slightly, "It depends on the specific time."

Qin Fan turned his head and pointed at the valley, "Do you think they will be very relaxed at this time?"

Xu Sheng thought for a while, his face changed, he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Yes, this is the time to relax."

"You said we go to attack them at this time, what will be the effect?"

Xu Sheng said in shock: "Go at this time? We will be discovered by spies."

"If there are two sides of the valley, we kill the spies on one side and pass through here, what are the chances of winning?"

Xu Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "The chances of winning are definitely greater than tomorrow morning. But if the spies are not alerted, it is unlikely. At this late night, even if we kill many of the other party's spies, we will always go back and report the news."

Qin Fan nodded, "Go back first."

Xu Sheng was puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it.

After Xu Sheng left, Qin Fan said to Dian Wei, "Go and call a spy."

"What are you looking for spies for?"
