Charlie looked at the crowd and said: "Everyone, I don't know what the Western Qin people are going to do next, whether to digest the Thrace region or continue to advance westward.
We can't consider things that are too far away.
The initiative is not with us now.
We can consider Only now, there is another one behind The elite Western Qin cavalry is chasing us.
Although there are only 3,000 people, they have caused heavy damage to us.
All 10,000 people from Duanhou have been wiped out.
I just want to ask you why the Western Qin people succeeded so easily.
Could Duanhou have succeeded?
Are those ten thousand people ten thousand pigs?”
Everyone had a weird look on their faces, and they all said to themselves, "Aren't these ten thousand people who are yours after the break?
Are you not slapping yourself in the face by saying this?"
Charlie ignored the weird looks on everyone's faces and continued: "Of course, the ten thousand people in the end are my people.
The reason why I say this is to say that all of us have never had any problems when facing the people of Xi Qin."
We went all out and the Western Qin army arrived at Sedika four days after we retreated.
We fully thought that Sedika could block the Western Qin people's advance for a while.
Everyone became lax and neglected the vigilance and precautions when camping at night.
Qin Zhui The soldiers succeeded in the surprise attack very easily.
This is the price paid for being careless and letting down one's vigilance.
Facts have told us many times that when facing the Western Qin army, we must go all out.
Don't think that they can't catch up.
Don't think that they can't catch up.
We will be safe if we get rid of them.
In fact, they will cause heavy casualties to us in any way that we do not expect.
Real security is to defeat them and kill them, and then we can be truly safe."
Having said this, Charlie looked at everyone's faces, and then continued: "I don't want to say more.
At this moment, we all have to work together.
Next, we need to consider how to get rid of this pursuit.
Soldiers, I believe there are not many Western Qin cavalry chasing us.
In such bad weather, it is impossible for the Western Qin people to dispatch in large numbers unless they don’t want to live.
Everyone, tell me what you think.”
Leo V thought for a while and said: "I think it is impossible to get rid of them.
These chasing troops are all cavalry.
How can we get rid of them?
If we want to solve the threat from the rear, the only thing we can do is to find a way to get rid of this Xi Qin army."
The army ate it” Charlie asked: "What to do?"
Leo V said: "There are two options: first, find a dangerous place to set up an ambush, wait for the Western Qin cavalry to enter the ambush range, and then attack and annihilate them all; second, send the cavalry to fight them and defeat them in one fell swoop.
Apart from these two methods, I can't think of any other methods."
"If you set up an ambush, where do you think is the most suitable place?"
Leo V said: "We should pass through a lot of mountains ahead.
Let's choose a long and narrow passage and set up an ambush in the surrounding mountains.
Although it snowed heavily, there are many trees on the mountains, which is convenient for us to hide.
And the ambush can't be too many.
If there are more people, it will be worse.
It’s easy to cause problems.
I think three thousand people are the most suitable.

We also need to prepare a cavalry.
If the ambush is successful, the cavalry can just go after it.”
Charlie thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, don't you have 3,000 people?
Just use your 3,000 people.
If there are losses, you can recruit and replenish along the way, and military expenses will be replenished first."
"Can" Leo V had 3,000 men in his hands.
This was the 3,000 Praetorian Guards that followed him from Constantinople to Macedonia at that time.
He lost one less man.
But now that this situation has come, he has to use it. , otherwise he would have no say at all in the coalition forces, and the title of emperor would be just an illusion.
There are mountains and forests everywhere on the way to Serbia.
Not every mountain has a name.
There are too many nameless mountains.
Leo V chose a place where the retreat to Serbia was sandwiched between two nameless mountains.
Between the mountains, there are lush trees.
Even in winter, there are many evergreen branches on the mountains.
The shadows of people and horses are hidden under these trees.
With some camouflage, it is difficult to be discovered.
The terrain here is very dangerous, and one look at it can make one's heart palpitate.
Although Li Su led the troops in the battle for only a short time, his vigilance was not bad.
He was not proud of the victory in this raid.
When he brought When the army arrived in front of this nameless canyon, they immediately felt chills standing on end when they saw the dangerous situation here.
"Stop" Li Su reined in his horse and raised a hand, and the army behind him also stopped advancing for two or three breaths.
After the successful sneak attack two days ago, Li Su's army seized a lot of food and grass.
They rested in the village for a day and ate several hot meals and hot soup.
The soldiers were refreshed before they caught up. .
Li Su squinted his eyes and looked up at the hills on both sides of the canyon.
The sides of the canyon were not cliffs, but hillsides with almost no vegetation.
However, it was extremely difficult for people to climb up.
It was too steep.
It is covered with white snow, and there is no way up the mountain to climb.
After observing for a while, before Li Su could speak, a captain next to him said: "General, it's not easy for the enemy to set up an ambush in this kind of terrain.
With such a slope, there is almost no grass on the hillside.
It's not easy to climb up."
It's easy to say, now that the Western coalition forces are frightened, they are still in the mood to ambush us."
Li Su shook his head and said: "Don't underestimate anyone.
This is a war, and people will die.
If one mistake is made, our entire army will be annihilated.
Send a team of people up the mountain to search, and make sure there are no ambushes or other dangers."
The captain said: "General, it is impossible to climb up from the front, unless the Huya Army is mobilized from the rear.
And if we go around the back and go up the mountain, I am afraid that we will not be able to complete the search in half a day."
Li Su frowned when he heard this, and after thinking about it, he came up with an idea.
He told the captain beside him: "I estimate that this canyon is only several miles long, at least three miles long, and you can't see the twists and turns in the middle.
Exit, you first lead 300 people through this canyon to explore the path, and carefully explore the exit.
If no enemy is found, Send people back to report.
Once you find that the enemy is engaged in combat, immediately send out a signal and break out to the front at all costs.

Do not retreat to the rear.
If there is an ambush on this mountain, the enemy will not enter the canyon without the main force of our army.
I will definitely not be willing to let you withdraw, do you understand what I mean?"
"Understood, I'll go now," the captain agreed, then waved after thinking and shouted, "Follow me in the third battalion."
Li Su waved to the captain of the scout camp again and ordered: "If there is really an ambush on the mountains on both sides, it is impossible for them not to deploy soldiers and horses around the entrance and exit, and send some smart brothers to explore the surroundings.
If anything unusual is found, don't act rashly." , don’t alert the other party, come back and report immediately.”
"clear" On the hilltop on the right, Leo V, who was squatting next to the stone platform, was overjoyed at first when he saw the Western Qin cavalry appearing.
They finally arrived, but what happened next made him frown and his heart beat wildly.
The Western Qin cavalry stopped at the entrance of the canyon.
He couldn't help but murmured: "Is it possible that the Western Qin general who led the army discovered something?
All the traces at the foot of the mountain have been dealt with.
The other party neither sent anyone to follow it nor If we send people to search the mountain, it should be impossible to find an ambush.
What is going on?"
The reason why Leo V set up the ambush site here was that he was not afraid of the Western Qin Army's reconnaissance.
It was impossible to climb to the top of the mountain from the front, and it would take too long to search the mountain from the back.
No general could let him.
The army stayed in the snow for more than half a day, suffering from cold and starvation, just waiting for a search result.
The next move of the Western Qin Army stunned Leo V.
The large group of cavalry of the Western Qin Army still stayed in place.
Only three hundred cavalry entered the canyon, and the speed was not slow.
"Your Majesty, what do the Western Qin people mean?"
A captain in the Imperial Guard couldn't understand the actions below, and turned to ask Leo V.
Leo V was not a fool.
After a cup of tea, he figured it out and understood Li Su's intention.
His face immediately changed and he couldn't help cursing: "These damn Western Qin people are so...
Cunning, they sent these three hundred people just to explore the road.
Suspicions have arisen here, but it would be too time-consuming to send people to explore the mountain, so we first send some people in to explore the way.
There are still hundreds of people guarding the exit.
These 300 people will definitely search, and they will easily find out.
Ambush, and then they’ll send someone back to report.”
The commander was a little unbelievable, "Your Majesty, they used such a simple method to find out whether we had set up an ambush here."
Leo V looked a little ugly, took a deep breath and said: "The ambush plan failed."
"Then what should we do now?"
"Let's wait and see.
I hope they don't notice our ambush at the exit."
The hope was good, but the reality was cruel.
Hundreds of people were ambushing near the exit, unable to avoid the reconnaissance cavalry sent by the Western Qin Army.
After being discovered, the Eastern Roman Army who had set up an ambush had no choice but to fight out.
"Sure enough, there is an ambush.
Quick, send a signal to the general.
Let's fight out."
As a scream came out, a dazzling colorful light shot straight into the sky, and the fireworks At the entrance of the canyon, Li Su saw the colorful fireworks rising in the sky in front of him.
His expression suddenly changed.
He immediately took out his weapons and shouted: Order the 784th Battalion to attack the ambushes on both sides.
Others are not allowed to fight without orders."

The two groups of cavalry quickly galloped away to the left and right respectively.
The ambush behind the mountain was discovered.
The Western Qin cavalry rushed over.
After a few rounds of arrows, their true colors were exposed, and the battle officially began.
On the mountain, a soldier ran over panting and reported: "Your Majesty, the ambush behind the mountain at the entrance has also been discovered by the Western Qin Army.
They are attacking our ambush."
Leo V's expression changed several times, and finally he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Withdraw":
