Perhaps because he had already extracted a skill, at this moment, the entire terrain and topography became clearer and clearer in Li Huai's mind - but that was only if he had known enough about this area before.

To the north is the lake, and on the south bank of the lake is a bamboo forest. The place where Li Huai and Guan Zhishan met earlier was this bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is surrounded by a forest, and now it is filled with various ambushes. They are armed with bows, arrows, and powerful crossbows, and are chasing Li Huai and others.

The direction Li Huai and the others chose to leave was to the east, through the woods, and after walking for a while, they would enter a narrow area surrounded by two hills.

Just by simply looking at this terrain, it should be clear that this is a very suitable area for ambush at many locations. As long as you stand on the hills on both sides in advance, you can observe from a high position and carry out siege.

However, in order to prevent Li Huai's suspicion, and at the same time, there should not be too many people - this area cannot hide too many people, and in order not to be noticed by Li Huai in advance, these ambush people are very cautious.

dispersion.

Similarly, at the ambush site within the two hills, the number of people is also small. In order to ensure combat effectiveness, they must be concentrated and cannot be too dispersed.

Therefore, the ambush location of these people is at the end of the road in the narrow strip.

"What happened? Could it be that the people arranged by the Marquis have rushed over and started to counterattack?"

Wang Ying and others looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in their own eyes. Just now, even though Li Huai spoke very straightforwardly and continued to use his past prestige to endorse it, it also achieved a certain effect, but he still had a certain effect.

Being trapped in such a situation, it is still inevitable to be more or less worried.

Only when they truly see that the measures arranged by Li Huai are effective can they truly feel relieved.

However, Li Huai still believed that the real situation should be explained clearly to them to prevent these people from suffering big losses in the future because of too much trust.

"The situation has improved, but you don't need to relax too much. Because the terrain here is special and there are hills on both sides, so it is not easy for those here to mobilize their troops. I came here before and saw

They had to go out, so they sent people out to make contact. At the same time, in order not to alert the enemy, they had previously let a small group of people sneak in first. Now they suddenly burst out and disrupted the opponent's layout, so the enemy army would lag behind..."

With Li Huai's reminder, everyone couldn't help but become nervous again.

On the other hand, as if to confirm what he said, the crowd blocking the front was quickly organized after the chaos. At least the front group was no longer as chaotic as before.

"However, we have no choice, we still have to charge forward!" Li Huai kept walking, "On the outskirts of the hills on both sides, the Forbidden Army reinforcements are already approaching! The troops who were originally ambushing here had to separate some of their troops.

When going out to contain them, they don't have many people they can mobilize at the moment. In addition, neither the forbidden troops outside nor these harassing soldiers are my trump card..."

——————

"As expected, the Imperial Guards from outside are approaching. We have limited manpower here, so we can only simply contain them first, buy time, and see if we can kill that monarch within this period of time... huh?"

Suddenly, Guan Zhishan was stunned, as if he thought of something.

"The current situation is indeed a bit strange. It doesn't quite resemble the style of the Marquis in the past..."

After thinking about it, the chief military advisor of the Yongchang Army suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He stood up suddenly. The previous demeanor of having everything under control was gone in an instant!

"Oops! Looking at what the Marquis has done, he has always pressed forward step by step, with no possibility of retreat. How could he just passively endure it? Has this happened in the past?"

He carefully recalled the intelligence and battle reports he had read, and he became more and more uneasy.

"Even if there is, it is often just a cover-up to cover up its true purpose. At this moment, the true purpose of that monarch is..."

When the thought fell, ripples suddenly appeared in the lake, and then a famous soldier rushed out of it, but what they wore was not the clothes of the Yongchang Army, but the clothes of the imperial imperial guards!

The one at the head was a general under An Zaihuai, and he was leading many soldiers and horses towards Guanzhi Mountain!

"As expected!"

Guan Zhishan took a deep breath, but did not panic too much, but then he sighed and greeted: "Let everyone over there gather here, otherwise it will be difficult to maintain this place."

As this order was issued, the men who had been scattered around to guard and pursue Li Huai began to retreat quickly.

Then Guan Zhishan frowned again: "This time, the offensive was completely disrupted. Originally, there were not many people in ambush, and they were quite scattered. Now, it is even more confusing, and the attack cannot be done with all its strength.

, Shou can’t do his best, and nothing can be done. Alas, forget it, after all, this matter is still one move away. Unexpectedly, Marquis Dingxiang used his own way to treat others..."

Then, another order was passed on directly.

——————

On the other side, Li Huai and others had collided with the people who were blocking them, and started fighting.

Although there were not many people following Li Huai, those who intercepted were also disrupted by the Forbidden Army infiltrators, so the fighting was not fierce and they were keeping each other in check.

At this time, Li Huai shouted to the people around him that Guan Zhishan had been killed by the ambush he had arranged!

"Guan Zhishan is dead! Why don't you just surrender and capture him!"

"Yes, my Lord Marquis has already prepared his next move!"

"Surrender without killing!"

…

With the shouts, Wang Ying and others gradually gained momentum, while the ambush soldiers on the opposite side were in a state of turmoil. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, choked back: "Stop talking nonsense over there, my military advisor..."

Before he finished speaking, an order suddenly came through a special method, causing the man to stop abruptly, and then with a wave of his hand, he started to retreat.

Watching these people retreat, Li Huai waved his hand: "Don't pester us, don't pursue us. We are not many in number. We can maintain our strength until now because we still have strength. If the stalemate continues, there will inevitably be casualties, so let them retreat."

After receiving Li Huai's order, the others quickened their pace and soon met the Forbidden Army Tang Bao outside the valley.

This man came over directly and clasped his fists: "Is your lord okay?"

"Nothing's wrong," Li Huai waved his hand, and then asked, "How is it? Did you catch the person who was originally controlling the troops here?"

Tang Bao said respectfully: "Thanks to the miraculous calculations of the Lord and Marquis, they were all captured, and a few were killed..." Then he changed the subject, "I will send the news back right now. My general is very worried about what is going on here.
