Chapter 276 Ambush, kill!
Chapter 276 Ambush, kill!
At Song Yuan's request, many generals soon gathered in the tent.
After hearing Song Yuan's judgment, everyone widened their eyes, feeling a little bit unbelievable.
"Raiding the camp... Your Highness, are you sure you're joking about this?"
Wang Chao spoke first, his tone full of doubt.
Ma Han followed closely behind, nodding his head immediately and saying, "Yes, Your Highness, those barbarians are cavalry. Given the conditions required of cavalry, they have no other choice but to break out of the canyon!"
Just when the two were confused, Huo Jianchuan suddenly reacted and his eyes lit up.
At this moment, Huo Jianchuan's thoughts clearly coincided with Song Yuan's.
"I've thought about it. If they abandon their warhorses, then the factors that limit them will naturally disappear!"
"Without the restraint of their warhorses, those barbarians can easily cross mountains and rivers. Even if they endure a little hardship, they can definitely get behind us!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly understood and patted their heads.
For infantry to become cavalry, the conditions required are too harsh, but for cavalry to become infantry, it is just a matter of dismounting!
Such a simple question, why didn’t people think of it before?
With this lesson before their eyes, everyone couldn't help but reflect for a moment. After all, it was their own thinking that had become rigid.
I just thought that cavalry was the advantage of the barbarians, and the other side would never abandon it.
But in fact, the barbarians have more than just cavalry as an option.
Faced with different conditions, the other party can make choices.
It’s such a simple truth, how come I didn’t understand it before?
"Now I understand what Your Highness means. The group of people who set out after the barbarians will most likely switch from riding horses to walking when they get close to the valley!"
"When they become infantry, they can cross the mountains and ridges, climb over the hilltops and go around behind us. Combined with the barbarians who were ambushed before, they can attack us from both sides and wipe us out in one fell swoop!"
"Once they have dealt with us, occupying Mohai City will naturally become a piece of cake. Once they have such a stronghold, they can infiltrate the surrounding areas, and the harm they will cause will be extraordinary."
A little knowledge means knowing everything.
Following Song Yuan's reminder, everyone's thinking became clearer.
Once they bypassed the forbidden zone of thinking, everyone's thoughts diverged and their original doubts disappeared instantly.
"That's exactly what I'm saying! I'm now basically certain that the reason those barbarians sent out two teams was to launch a surprise attack on us!"
Song Yuan nodded, confirming Huo Jianchuan's guess.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gathered together and began to discuss solutions.
"I think I've come up with a brilliant idea!"
As her mind became more open, Situ Jing suddenly screamed. Hearing this, everyone stared at Situ Jing with wide eyes.
Situ Jing, with a touch of excitement, unburdened herself of everything she had in mind: "If you ask me, now that we know the barbarians' plan, wouldn't it be easy to deal with them?"
"If those barbarians want to get around, we can send people to chase them down and intercept them, setting up an ambush at the rear of our team. That way, as soon as they fall into the encirclement, we can immediately wipe them out!"
"Then we can take advantage of this opportunity to change into their clothes. If the cavalry dares to attack us, we can pretend to be barbarians and join them. Then we can blend into their ranks and kill them at will."
Situ Jing danced with excitement at the end of her speech.
It was as if he had already seen the outcome of his plan, and that he could easily wipe out the overflowing troops.
However, such a self-evident behavior seemed a bit abrupt in Song Yuan's eyes.
"The idea is good, but if it's just so superficial, it may not be smooth in the end!"
"Those barbarians are not fools. How easy is it for us to make them fall into the same pit twice?"
"Have you ever considered that the fact that this matter can be concealed from the world means that we must completely annihilate the barbarian infantry and not let a single one escape!"
"But with the steep mountains, it's not easy to do this. If there's a mistake at this step, the subsequent plans will naturally be impossible to implement."
"Let's intensify our investigation and then send people to surround them. Even that won't work, will it?" Situ Jing asked.
Song Yuan shook his head lightly, and Huo Jianchuan on the side immediately stood up to prove this statement.
"Princess, this may sound simple, but the other party has sent out a large number of people. We want to surround them and ensure that no one escapes. I'm afraid that just us may not be enough!"
"We can't take risks on this matter, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted. Your Highness's concerns are justified. I think we need to consider this matter carefully!"
"Oh well!"
After hearing this, Situ Jing nodded sadly and pondered for a long time.
We have to admit that Song Yuan's statement does have its basis.
More importantly, the troops led by Song Yuan this time are only about 20,000. If they engage in close combat with those infantry, there will definitely be losses.
Before, there were only a few hundred people, and Song Yuan felt distressed. However, in a hand-to-hand combat, the losses would definitely far exceed the previous figures. Song Yuan naturally would not allow such losses!
Now, every one of Song Yuan’s subordinates is his hard work, and is the foundation for Song Yuan to rise up in the future!
Song Yuan could not accept the death of any one person.
For a moment, following Situ Jing's appointment, everyone lowered their heads, and their thoughts came to an abrupt end.
"Okay, Situ Jing is right, but her idea wasn't detailed enough. I do have a way to attract those guys, but I can't ambush them a second time!"
"See, I told you my method works!" Seeing Song Yuan nod in agreement, Situ Jing instantly became excited.
Huo Jianchuan's eyes lit up at this moment: "Your Highness, I have also thought of a solution, but this time I'm afraid we will lose something!"
"It doesn't matter if you lose things, it's much better than losing people!"
Song Yuan nodded and responded immediately. The two looked at each other. There was no need for further communication. Song Yuan had already figured out what Huo Jianchuan meant.
The two of them clearly had the same idea, and now it all depended on how the plan was implemented.
……
Before we knew it, time had flown by.
Soon the day agreed upon by Song Yuan and the barbarians arrived. Today, the two sides would exchange corpses to fulfill their previous agreement.
At dawn, the sun rises.
Against the backdrop of the faint sunlight, the camp where Song Yuan was located was particularly peaceful.
From the outside, it clearly indicated that everyone was fast asleep.
Beneath this silence, there is another crisis hidden.
A hundred meters away.
in the dark.
The hidden barbarians have traveled all the way through mountains and rivers to come here!
Looking at the prey in front of him, he still didn't realize the coming crisis.
The leading general's eyes lit up, as if he had seen the outcome of victory.
"If we act now, we will definitely be able to wipe out these guys in one fell swoop. We can rush in and kill them while they are fast asleep. By then, the entire camp will be in ruins!"
Thinking of his pride, the commander's eyes lit up.
If he could capture Song Yuan alive during the chaos and then bring the prince back to the barbarians, it would definitely be a great achievement!
Coupled with the successful raid, it would not be difficult to upgrade three levels in a row.
"Everyone follow me, kill!"
While they were hesitating, they had already arrived a hundred meters away from the camp. Faced with the opportunity that was within their reach, the general leading the troops immediately stood up and roared.
With this commotion, everyone stood up and rushed towards the camp where Song Yuan was.
And such shouts and cries of killing could be heard from far away.
On the other side of the river, the high priest and Tublaik, who had personally gone to the front line to supervise the battle, showed excitement on their faces when they heard such a commotion!
"It worked, it finally worked this time!"
As a prince, Tublai Khan clenched his fists excitedly. In his opinion, his subordinates now had the upper hand.
If the cavalry could support them at this moment, they would be able to completely disperse them.
"Everyone get on your horses and follow me to kill people!"
At that moment, Tublai Khan turned over and got on the horse's back. With a roar, he led the cavalry behind him and rushed towards the camp!
It’s as if the dawn of victory is about to come.
