Chapter 119 Can he win? If he wins, the opponent will fake defeat!

Lei Lan and Wu Tong are equally famous, both are rare young talents among Jiaozhi.

Zhang Yiping led an army of 50,000 to the expedition, and naturally he also brought other generals with him.

Lei Lan's eight thousand men were the vanguard of the army, responsible for exploring the route and finding out the strength of the Han army.

Eight thousand soldiers and horses marched in a hurry, reaching a hundred miles away from Vung Tau Port.

However, at this time, a detective horse came to report alone, bringing a message from Zhang Yiping.

"General Zhang Yiping asked me to tell the general if he had something to say."

"He said that the Han army has been stationed in Vung Tau Port for a long time, and the army is trapped by poisonous insects, so they will definitely be wary of our army taking advantage of the situation."

"In this case, the Han army will probably set up an ambush along the way to block our army's advance."

"General Lei needs to pay more attention and be careful not to fall into an ambush."

Hearing this, Lei Lan couldn't help but frown.

It's not that he doesn't believe Zhang Yiping's words.

The civil and military forces of Jiaozhi are well aware of General Zhang's capabilities.

Although he could not read a word of Chinese characters, he always conveyed messages orally, he could not hold a pen, and his edicts had to be read and listened to, he was indeed a natural-born general.

This is also an interesting thing.

It has to be traced back to Zhang Yiping's childhood.

Zhang Yiping is a descendant of the Jiaozhi aborigines, but his bloodline is not that pure. He was born between local aborigines and Han Chinese.

His family was poor and he had never been literate.

Later, during a mountain fire, Zhang Yiping showed his bravery and rushed into the fire to save the county magistrate. Only then was he appreciated and qualified for promotion.

But he still can't read.

Such a general who was illiterate and had to be read to him on weekdays, who had a serious personality, was calm and reserved and didn't talk much, could almost be described as boring or even gloomy.

However, he managed to convince all the generals in the Jiaozhi Kingdom, and even convinced the prime minister, who was full of economics and literary talent, to give up his military power to him willingly.

This shows his ability.

Lei Lan came to his senses. Since General Zhang said that the Han army might set up an ambush, he should be even more vigilant.

He summoned Tan Ma and asked:

"Where are we marching to?"

The spy replied:

"General, further ahead is Wutu Valley."

"Well"

Lei Lan responded, his face a little more nervous.

After passing Wu Tu Valley, it is not far from Vung Tau Port.

The terrain of this Wutu Valley is narrow, half of it is a mountain stream and half of it is a mud road.

The mountain stream cannot be walked on, and the dirt road is muddy and difficult to navigate.

If the Han army planned to set up an ambush, this would be a good place.

In the valley, there is only a small path between the mountain stream and the mud road, which can allow soldiers and horses to pass through.

If it is used for an ambush, the passing Jiaozhi soldiers and horses will definitely suffer losses.

Can.

How many people can the Han army send to ambush?

Lei Lan thought hard. According to Gao Xiangguo's calculations, the Han army was now troubled by poisonous insects.

Even if there is no fear of life, one must rest in peace.

Even if we can still gather some combatable soldiers, how many will they have?

How much combat power do these barely mobile Han troops have left?

Jiaozhi is hot and humid and densely forested. Those weird poisonous insects are the biggest enemy to the Han army who have never set foot in Jiaozhi!

According to Gao Xiangguo's analysis, at this time, the number of people in the Han army who could fight was only a few thousand at most, so General Zhang led the army to defeat the enemy.

After thinking about the stakes, Lei Lan suddenly had an extremely bold idea in his mind.

Follow the plan and take the initiative to ambush.

He has 8,000 men on hand, and he can divide 2,000 men into ambush at the mouth of the valley.

There are only 6,000 people left. As long as they enter the valley carefully, even if they are ambushed, given the number of combatable soldiers and horses of the Han army, the losses will not be too great.

But if the Han army came out of the valley and came to pursue them, they would have to pay a heavy price.

If these thousands of Han troops in ambush can be captured, there will not be many soldiers to fight in the Han camp in Vung Tau Port.

It is almost impossible to resist!

Then, with the momentum of great victory, he directly used his military superiority to forcibly attack the camp.

This battle can be decided!

Lei Lan looked up at the clear sky, with white clouds floating and a few birds flying by.

He has made a decision in his mind.

Just do it!

If the Han army ambushes and chases them out, they can destroy the effective strength of the Han army.

If the Han army did not pursue them, their own losses would be smaller, and they could also take advantage of the battle between the two armies to find out the strength of the Han army.

Lei Lan immediately led the troops, with one hundred men at the head, and the remaining 5,900 men hanging a hundred steps away from the vanguard, gradually going deep into the Wutu Valley.

This is also done to make his ambush appear more real.

There was clearly a valley where it was easy to set up an ambush. How could any general not send some vanguard troops to explore the way?

Just as Zhang Yiping guessed, Li Jingji chose to set up an ambush.

The location of the ambush was exactly as Lei Lan guessed, in the Wu Tu Valley.

Li Jingji and his five thousand men were all ambushing in the middle of Wutu Valley.

If there is an ambush in this middle section, even if the enemy discovers the ambush, it will be difficult for them to retreat in time.

Li Jingji waited for the opportunity and saw the hundreds of pioneers sent by Lei Lan approaching.

He saw thousands of soldiers and horses behind the vanguard again, and sighed in his heart. This vassal general was quite capable, and he actually knew how to send people to explore the route.

Seeing the vanguard take a few steps closer, Li Jingji immediately drew his weapon and ordered:

"Soldiers, attack and kill!"

As soon as the order was given, rolling stones would fall down from the valley.

Smashing it randomly will have little effect.

Wutu Valley is not suitable for rolling stones, but the huge momentum really added a lot of momentum to the Han army's ambush. Thousands of soldiers in Jiaozhi seemed to have fallen into chaos.

"kill!!"

The Han troops under Li Jingji also shouted, and immediately killed the hundreds of vanguards, and then moved towards the main force of thousands of people.

When Lei Lan saw this, he quickly changed direction and fled through the entrance.

"Run away now?"

Li Jingji led his troops in pursuit and killed eleven of them himself, but in the end he had too few soldiers and was unable to swallow up all the Jiaozhi troops.

“Keep chasing??”

Seeing that he was approaching the entrance of the valley, Li Jingji thought for a moment, then sent a small soldier back to the camp to report the news, and then said:

"There is a saying in the art of war: avoid its sharpness and attack its passion."

"Now that the enemy is retreating in embarrassment and without any fighting spirit, it is just right for our army to fight back against the chaos."

"Chase the enemy!! Kill!!!"

Li Jingji continued to chase the defeated army, while Lei Lan abandoned many wounded along the way and fled with the defeated army in the direction of the ambush.

The Han army fell into a trap!

Lei Lan was secretly happy, my plan has come true!

He did not hesitate to take casualties, seduced the Han soldiers into pursuing them, and finally achieved his goal!
