Chapter 696: The Ambush Completed
Sun Shan quickly ordered someone to give orders, but turned around and saw Li Liangsheng resting on a poisonous arrow tree, and hurriedly said, "Master Marshal, you should not get close to these trees, you are injured."
Li Liangsheng deliberately leaned over when he heard them say the poisonous arrow tree. He knew that he was injured, but there was no broken wound, so he knew that it was okay, just waiting for Jinning to see if she would be nervous.
So, after hearing Sun Shan's words, he slowly looked at Jinning.
Jinning seemed to turn a blind eye, and only cared about commanding the soldiers to lift the body aside to cover his face, without turning his head to look at him.
Sun Shan personally stepped forward to help Li Liangsheng get up. Li Liangsheng was not angry and shook his hand away, "I will leave by myself."
Sun Yamamoto had an objection to him. His previous respect was just to show the soldiers. Now, seeing that he had a cold face and rejected his kindness, he simply ignored it and turned around.
Li Liangsheng was both angry and disheartened. He never dreamed that Chen Jinning would be so cold to him.
It’s not that Jin Ning didn’t hear it, but she just didn’t bother to pay attention to him. She hasn’t found a way to ambush the Xianbei people yet. She has a headache. She can’t let 30,000 people really fight against 200,000 to 300,000 people. This is undoubtedly a rock hit with eggs, and sacrifice is meaningless.
She had to defeat the Xianbei people, irritate them, and then fight guerrilla wars with them among the mountains, and buy time for grandpa and Jingting.
She first asked Sun Shan to take people to explore the nearby mountains to see if it was feasible.
Sun Shan immediately took his men. After about an hour, he ran back and panted and said breathlessly: "The military supervisor, there are suitable mountains and many huge rocks around here, which are suitable for setting up ambush."
Jinning was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Sun Shan to draw a topographic map.
Sun Shan took a branch, kicked the fallen leaves and drew it on the ground, "Although this place is suitable, there is a road ahead and it is a road. The Xianbei army does not need to pass here, because this road is relatively small and can only accommodate three or four people at the same time, and cannot march on a large scale."
Jinning thought for a while and said, "What if we send some people to set up an ambush at the fork? We have to force them to take a detour."
Li Liangsheng came over and said lightly: "If someone was sent to set up an ambush in front, even if the Xianbei army detours, we would not have enough soldiers to deal with them. Moreover, the mountains ahead did not have the conditions to set up an ambush. What is the difference between it and here? If an ambush can be set up there, it would be the same here."
Jinning shook his head slowly, looked at the tall poisonous arrow tree next to him, pondered for a moment, and said, "What if we shoot arrows at them in front?"
"Then you have to shoot the vital points..." Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Jin Ning meant. He looked happy, "No, no, there is no need to shoot the vital points, just shoot it. If the arrows are stained with the poisonous arrow tree, the person who is shot will die quickly, which will cause their panic and force them to choose another way."
After hearing this, Li Liangsheng glanced at Jinning and said sarcastically: "We are facing an army of 200,000 or even 300,000, not tens of thousands of people, and we cannot ensure that we can shoot correctly. If we cannot change the direction of the enemy's army, our trip will be in vain. And if the enemy attacks up the mountain, our army can only wait for the massacre."
Jin Ning was frustrated with him saying these backless words in front of the soldiers, so he turned his face to Sun Shan and the other generals, saying, "We sent 10,000 people to block the front. Each of these 10,000 people had twenty arrows. They didn't need to hit them. They just needed to cause panic and force them to enter the road we chose, then set up an ambush on the top and rolled down a huge rock to disperse the enemy. I understand the Xianbei people. They are very arrogant and will not give up when they are provoked. They will definitely kill us before continuing the march. Although they are many, we have mountains as barriers, and the mountains are connected here, which is conducive to our guerrilla warfare."
After hearing Jinning's analysis, the generals agreed that it was feasible.
Jinning looked at Li Liangsheng and said, "Order!"
Li Liangsheng seemed to have finally waited for Jinning to ask for him. He wanted to make things difficult for him, but when he saw that the generals were surrounding him, he agreed. He swallowed the words of opposition for a moment, turned around and ordered the generals to do it according to Jinning's method.
When Jinning finished his order, he ordered the soldiers to be careful when taking venom, not to touch the eyes or wounds, and even try not to touch the venom with his skin.
Two people died before. Everyone knows that this poisonous arrow tree is terrible. They carefully cut the bark to get the venom and stain it on the arrow.
They were ambushing guerrilla warfare on this trip, so they brought a lot of arrows. All 30,000 soldiers carried twenty arrows, and they didn't care how many people they sent to ambush in a while. Anyway, they all dyed the arrows with venom first.
Jinning sent a team of people to investigate in front of her. She also went to the mountain mentioned by Sun Shan to see it herself. She found that the mountain was indeed suitable for hiding and had a hillside that went down with the momentum. If the enemy passed by below and threw a huge rock, it would not only block the road, but also seriously injured the enemy.
The sky gradually darkened, and no one paid back the investigation ahead, which showed that the Xianbei people had not arrived yet.
This made Jinning more relieved, because it took time to set up an ambush.
She knew that everyone was very tired, but she couldn't rest. The people from the Poison Arrow Team went to the hill ahead to lurk. She wanted to send 10,000 people, but then she thought about it. There were too many people, so the main force here was weakened.
So she thought about it and sent only 7,000 people as poison archers.
The poisonous archers lurked first, and the mountains were cold, but fortunately, there were many big trees in their hiding place, which could block the wind and cold, and there was no reward from spies, so they could still gather together to keep warm.
On the other hand, Jinning led everyone to dig stones.
The mountains in this area are the same as those in the Grand Canyon. The slightly higher terrain is densely forested, so there are few rocks, but the boundary between the mountains is mostly stones, so there are not many plants growing here.
Digging and quarrying is a very difficult task, especially on such a cold night, and the dark night is not even brighter.
Large stones are basically impossible to dig, and only some of the soil underneath are slightly loose, but such stones are mostly not big.
So, Jinning fixed his eyes on the huge rock protruding in the middle.
It is impossible to dig out the huge rock, but you can dig it under the bottom. At that time, find a team of people to push it down, push the huge rock down to cut off the road, and then use other dug out stones to smash it. This will bring much higher chances of winning.
But a huge rock is not enough, it is better to have more. Jinning took a torch and chose a few places. At that time, he first rolled down the boulder, then pushed other slightly larger stones down the hillside, and finally chose to cast stones and shoot arrows.
Of course, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the mountain, Jinning had to set up an ambush on the road up the mountain.
