Chapter 93: Ambushing the Xiongnu Army

Soon, two days passed in a flash, and Zhang Liao also successfully rendezvoused with the other four teams in Tongguo City.

"Our time is very tight; in another day, the Xiongnu army will arrive at Tongguo City."

"Our target is the valley ten miles away. This is the only way to reach Dingxiang Commandery. Setting an ambush here, the Xiongnu will definitely fall into the trap."

"Now, this general orders, the whole army pack up the equipment, set off!"

Following Zhang Liao's order, fifty thousand Bingzhou army soldiers quickly headed toward the valley.

And at this time, Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo was leading fifty thousand Xiongnu cavalry, rushing toward Tongguo City at high speed.

At this time, he still didn't know that the entire Dingxiang Commandery had already been taken into Zhang Liao's hands, and what awaited them would be endless slaughter.

"Chanyu, we still have one day before we can reach Tongguo City, Dingxiang Commandery. Why not have the brothers rest for a while? We have been rushing for such a long time, the brothers are almost unable to hold on."

"Moreover, it will be here soon. If we meet the Han army, our army is tired and exhausted, and it won't be easy to fight!"

On the way of the army's march, Xiongnu cavalry commander Huchuquan shouted loudly to Yufuluo.

Hearing this, Yufuluo, who was galloping, slowed down, pondered for a while, and still followed Huchuquan's words.

"That's fine, you go and notify the army, rest on the spot for one night, and set off early tomorrow morning."

After Yufuluo made up his mind, he ordered Huchuquan.

"This humble general obeys the order!"

Huchuquan heard his words and was also happy on his face. To tell the truth, he also felt tired, let alone those soldiers.

"Chanyu has an order, the army stop advancing, everyone rest on the spot!"

Soon, Huchuquan arranged for the messenger soldiers to issue the order to rest on the spot to the team that was advancing.

And the Xiongnu soldiers who received the order were also overjoyed and sat down on the spot one after another.

Although they were riding horses, they couldn't stand such a long time of rushing; their butts were all hurting, and now they could finally rest, could they not be happy?

And at this time, Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai had already led the army to arrive at the designated location. Looking at the terrain before them, Zhang Liao could not help but sigh:

"Military Advisor, you really know how to find a place!"

"This kind of terrain is a natural place for an ambush. In normal times, one would have to arrange an army to lure the enemy, but now, there is no need for anyone to lure them, and Yufuluo himself entered the ambush."

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai also smiled slightly and said plainly:

"This is just the basic operation of a qualified strategist. The General just didn't have time to pay attention to it, otherwise, this kind of terrain, for the General, could still be easily found."

"One cannot say it like that. The two of us still have to cooperate with each other to exert the greatest effect."

For such a long time, Zhang Liao was also very approving of Xi Zhicai's ability. Having cooperated with him for so long, there was nothing that made him worry.

Everything was arranged clearly by Xi Zhicai, very comfortable.

"General, there is no need for us two to blow each other up anymore. In my opinion, it is better to arrange the army to set an ambush as soon as possible!"

Xi Zhicai smiled at Zhang Liao and reminded him.

"Hahaha, the Military Advisor is absolutely right. Since the Military Advisor has said so, then let's arrange the ambush as soon as possible!"

"These two mountain peaks are really excellent places to hide troops. In normal times, one would certainly send scouts to investigate carefully."

"Now, we and Yufuluo are both racing against time. He never dreamed that our speed would be so fast."

"We not only took Dingxiang Commandery in advance, but also appeared on their only way to set an ambush. I really want to see Yufuluo's face after he discovers it."

Thinking of the things about to happen, Zhang Liao said playfully to Xi Zhicai with expectation.

"Since the General is so curious, then let's wait and see!"

Xi Zhicai also had some expectation, immediately looked at each other with Zhang Liao, and said with expectation.

"Someone!"

After finishing speaking with Xi Zhicai, Zhang Liao shouted to the generals beside him.

After hearing Zhang Liao's voice, the Bingzhou army generals behind Zhang Liao were shocked and immediately stepped forward, cupping their fists respectfully to Zhang Liao:

"This humble general is here!"

In everyone's voice, there was endless fighting intent. Facing the upcoming battle, their eyes were full of expectation and confidence.

Looking at everyone's reaction, Zhang Liao also secretly said: "Morale can be used!"

Subsequently, he said solemnly to everyone:

"Everyone, I think you all know about the upcoming battle, that is, to block the fifty thousand Xiongnu cavalry coming to Dingxiang Commandery here."

"According to the report from the Dark Guards, Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo is currently leading fifty thousand Xiongnu cavalry, thirty miles away from here. Your task."

"Is to cooperate with this general to set an ambush here. This time, this general wants to completely annihilate Yufuluo and his fifty thousand Xiongnu cavalry."

"All of you, divide into four teams. Five thousand people each go to the mountain peaks on both sides."

"The rest of you, you three thousand-man commanders in the Divine General Realm, lead twenty thousand troops together to guard the front road."

"This general will personally lead twenty thousand troops to wait for them to enter the ambush place. After seeing this general cut off their retreat, the people on the mountain peaks on both sides will throw down the prepared stones and rolling logs."

"At that time, just the lethality caused by these thunder stones and rolling logs will be enough for them to suffer."

"Everything this general said above, have you understood?"

After arranging the ambush matters, Zhang Liao shouted loudly at everyone.

Facing Zhang Liao's inquiry, everyone roared in unison with solemn expressions:

"Please rest assured, General, this humble general and others understand!"

Looking at the Bingzhou army generals with solemn expressions before him, Zhang Liao nodded with satisfaction; not worthy of being the soldiers he brought out.

"Good, you people on the mountain, at that time, rockets, thunder stones, rolling logs, and everything else that can be thrown down, all throw them down for this general."

"Also pay attention to one point, after all these thunder stones and rolling logs are thrown down, you can go down the mountain. At that time, guard the rear to prevent any fish that slipped through the net from escaping."

"After the people on the mountain finish their tasks, you others can decide for yourselves according to the situation on the spot."

"Remember, this general requires that not a single Xiongnu person can be let go, and our casualties must also be reduced to the minimum."

"All these above, can you all do it?"

Zhang Liao roared at everyone after arranging the plan.

After listening to Zhang Liao's roar, everyone used all their strength and shouted loudly:

"Can! Can! Can!"

After three loud shouts, everyone stared at Zhang Liao with fanatic eyes; now they were just waiting for Zhang Liao to give the order.

Looking at everyone's reaction, Zhang Liao was also heroic, and shouted loudly at everyone:

"Good, all go and prepare!" ===== CHAPTER 94 =====
