Chapter 329 Preparations before the ambush

Liu Mang didn't need to be scolded or motivated to these urban management soldiers. None of the people who can enter the urban management army are bad. Since the urban management army was established, there have been countless batches of people. Few people have been discharged from the army. There are no retired in this era. There are no captives, all of them were killed in battle. Some seriously injured even chose to commit suicide in order not to drag down their teammates.

"Brothers, let's go!" Liu Mang waved his hand and no one brought enough dry food for three days, so he was on the way.

Outside Guangzhou City was an endless plain. Liu Mang and his army marched to hide all the crossbows in the army, preventing them from being discovered. Some white cloth was covered on it to hide his traces.

After walking for a long time, Liu Mang saw a hillside. The hill was not big at all, but it could hide fifty crossbows. Looking from above the hill, you could also see the scenes of other parts of the plain without any sank. It was a good place to ambush.

"Ziyang, let's set up an ambush here!" Liu Mang was very satisfied with this hill. It was really not easy to find such a small hill in the border of Yangzhou, Yuzhou, which shows that Liu Mang was lucky.

Liu Mang originally thought that Liu Ye would agree with the place he chose, but Liu Ye shook his head and directly stopped him, "Lord, we can't set up an ambush here!"

"Isn't this place good?" Liu Mang was very surprised. He was lucky to find the current mound in such a plain.

"It's not bad. If it's just an ambush, of course it's good. But you have to know that we are here to make bait. If you put it on the hill, who else would come to eat this bait?!" Liu Ye explained to Liu Mang. This is a hill that can be ambushed. It's hard to find a second piece better than him in this plain, but don't forget, you can see it, can't the enemy see it! As soon as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's troops came to the junction of Yuzhou and Yangzhou, they did not directly escort the food and grass, but came to Guangzhou City to show off their power. This action was like this.

Ye knew that this commander was not a brainless waste, but a person who knew military tactics. He knew when to show his muscles and when to take back his sharpness. For example, when he came to Guangzhou, he did not shout or send someone to send letters, but marched outside Guangzhou City. This was telling Liu Mang not to act rashly. They were escorted by Liu Bei, and they were not Liu Bei's army. They would not fight with you head-on. They would not stimulate Liu Mang's main force in Guangzhou City in unknown details, but if you are shameless, then don't blame the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

Such a general, do you think he is a simple person? This is a good place for ambushing. Once he sees it, he will not be suspicious! I am afraid that for safety reasons, he may not even bite the bait or be more vigilant. Let the subsequent ambush battles beating up and add damage.

"So where should we go to ambush?!" Liu Mang really didn't know much about this, so he naturally didn't understand it. Then let Liu Ye do it all. Liu Mang knew that these first-class strategists of this era were not simple characters.

"Lord, look, there!" Liu Ye and Liu Mang climbed the hill together. They looked into the distance and looked down from a high place. Liu Ye pointed directly at a plain area and said to Liu Mang, "That's where, where is the place where we succeeded and failed this time!"

"Where? How is it possible?!" Liu Mang followed Liu Ye's finger and immediately felt it was impossible, because the place Liu Ye pointed at was not other places, but was completely a place with the widest vision and no danger to defend. If the army was deploying defense there, then even if it could stand up, its strength would not be as strong as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Because the wider the place, the more the impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's heavy armored cavalry could be reflected, and that place was also leaning against a small hill. Just as Liu Mang was the main general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, he would definitely use the slope of the hill to maximize the horse's power. In this way, the impact of the war horse became stronger, and the combat power of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry would also rise sharply.

This is not the key. The key is that in that place, you stand on the hill and see it at all, how could you ambush in a place? Where are these fifty crossbows placed? You are stationed below, and his every move will be watched by people on the hill. How can you ambush this? How can you catch the Xiliang Iron Cavalry off guard? Not to mention fifty crossbows, even fifty people are very conspicuous there.

"Haha, lord, we can't ambush fifty crossbows on the ground, but why do we have to ambush the crossbows on the ground?!" Liu Ye's rhetoric question made Liu Mang really confused. Is this crossbow still placed in the sky and sent to the ground? Under the ground? Liu Mang's eyes suddenly lit up and asked Liu Ye hurriedly, "Ziyang, what do you mean?!"

Liu Ye saw Liu Mang's hurry and naturally knew that his lord Liu Mang had guessed the mystery. "Yes, we don't have to put the crossbow on the ground, there is nowhere to hide it. Putting fifty crossbows there is clearly telling the enemy that we are ambushing you, we are asking you to take the bait, and the Western Liang Iron Cavalry can see it at a glance, but once the crossbows are placed on the ground, it will be different! Of course, it is not simply digging a hole to put all the fifty crossbows in it,

Instead, you need to dig a foundation, and you also need to push the slopes from the crossbows at the attack position. The grass on the plains cannot be thrown away. The grass can be perfectly disguised, so that even from the hills, there is no ambush where the ambush is. Once the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has medicine bait, then directly lift the turf from the ground, and all fifty crossbows of the bed are pushed to the ground. The ambush formed in this way will be perfect and will really catch the Xiliang Iron Cavalry off guard.

Think about it! You can see the camp below on this hill, so the soldiers and horses are visible at a glance and the surrounding areas cannot be ambushed, so you will naturally be confident. Once he relaxes, it will be the end of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

"Haha, okay. Just do that!" Liu Mang was very straightforward. Liu Ye said whatever he said. Two thousand five hundred soldiers started working. Although they did not have professional digging tools, they had combat knives. Some of them simply found a piece of wood to dig the ground with simple wooden work.

This is the junction of Yangzhou and Yuzhou. There is a lot of rain, so it is easier to dig the ground. It is just that wood is needed to consolidate after digging, otherwise the tunnel that has just been dug may be newly landed by silt. The speed of 2,500 people is very fast, and the general outline has been dug out in less than half a day.

"In this way, in this way, you only need to put ten crossbows in the middle, and put twenty on both sides of the remaining forty!" Liu Mang said to the soldiers who dug holes. He was commanding these soldiers to do things, and Liu Mang himself was not idle.

"Lord, why don't you arrange all the crossbows in the center?" Liu Ye's plan is to hide these crossbows under the ground. The crossbows need to be gathered on a large scale to truly exert his strength. Therefore, Liu Ye's plan is to put these fifty crossbows together. In this way, the fifty crossbows form a cluster is not only a manifestation of combat power, but also a deterrence. Now that the crossbows are separated, his deterrence will be greatly reduced, and Liu Ye does not think that the combat power will be stronger when dispersed.

"Haha, Ziyang, make a plan and give advice, I'm not as good as you. But your lord has some sluts that you don't understand!" Liu Mang said to Liu Ye with a smile. He couldn't explain to Liu Ye what crossfire is and what firepower blockade. Although fifty bed crossbows block you together have a deterrent effect, his combat power has been greatly reduced, because such an attack will be depressed. An enemy may be penetrated by two giant arrows, and a dead person may waste the giant arrows.

The branch and Liu Mang and others brought not many arrows of the bed crossbow. It is impossible for one person to treat a giant arrow. There are 8,000 people on the opposite side. In this way, ten bed crossbows are placed in the middle, so that the middle is not broken by heavy armored cavalry, and the pressure can be introduced to the city management army blocking the front. Forty on both sides are the real god of death. The crossbows not only cover a wide range of firepower, but also rarely overflows. In this way, no matter where the Western Liang Iron Cavalry attacks, the bed crossbow troops can block him.

"Huh? Is that right?!" Liu Ye still didn't understand, but fortunately Liu Mang continued to say, "Hao Shao, Hao Botong, with this arrangement, he shot and killed thousands of Liu Bei's army!" Hao Shao's trip to Guangzhou really made Liu Ye nod and praise him. Liu Ye even told Liu Mang in private that such a person is a talent and needs to pay more attention to Hao Shao. Hao Shao had only two thousand garrison troops under his command, and relied on a small county town that could not be defended without any danger, and shot and killed nearly five thousand people. Such a record, no matter which army it was placed in, was brilliant, and he would have less than a thousand people to lose. Who wouldn't like this one to five?

"Well, that's the best!" Liu Ye didn't ask Liu Mang to prove anything to him, because there were many things that Liu Mang had never heard of before.

"Okay, now this place is arranged. The next part is how we can make the cat Xiliang Iron Cavalry smell fishy smell! "Most of the day, it was basically done. Liu Mang came to the hill to test it. From the hill, I saw the ambush camp below to see if it was really hidden. Liu Mang could have a Ni Duan, but when using the telescope in his hand, he could see some difference between Yu, because after all, the ground was dug, and the new soil deposited underground was turned over, which was somewhat different from the surrounding old soil. But don't forget that this was when using a telescope. This was the subconscious in Liu Mang's heart that there was an ambush here, so that he could find it different. If it was replaced by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry without a telescope, and if it was replaced by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who didn't know there was an ambush, what would it look like?
