Huashan is halfway up the mountainside, and the cliffs are hundred.

The cold mountain wind blew on the hanging armor pieces with a clanging sound, blowing the hem of the Han army's clothes, and also blowing the feathers that Ma Yue held under his ribs.

There was no war for half a month, and after Chun Yuqiong's death, Yuan Shao stuck to Tongguan and did not dare to march again. Ma Yue missed the only opportunity to lead his troops to break through Tongguan, and in addition to the military formation, the rest of the sergeants dug more than 2,000 graves at the foot of Huashan. Halfway up the mountainside, on the cliff of a hundred feet, Ma Yue wrote a stele for Chun Yuqiong, and Chun Yuzhong, the right lieutenant of the Han Dynasty, was buried here.

The inscription is written in a bare manner, stating the life of Chun Yuqiong, from the defeat of the Xianbei army, to the auxiliary lieutenant of Luoyang Jinggi, the defeat of the bloody battle of Qingzuomen and the experience of the captain of Xiyuan, as well as the plan of King Ma Yueqin this time, and finally the heroic self-slaughter. Ma Yue's name occupies most of the space, and Chun Yuqiong has been fighting against Ma Yue for the rest of her life. And in the end, the signature of the inscription is Hou Junhao, Mumeiyang, Hanliang Prefecture.

Sleep with the heroic spirits and face the mountain breeze together.

No matter what the military level of Chun Yuqiong is...... Ma Yue bowed deeply and led the armored army all over the mountains down the mountain road.

Chun Yuqiong's story is over, but the magnificent era is not over.

The weather in Sizhou at the beginning of July was hot, and the air seemed to be rolling with invisible flames, which made people feel hot and dry. The reward from the valley road made Ma Yue's heart even more nameless.

Yuan Shu lost his campaign against Yizhou, and after breaking through Hanzhong, he was ambushed by Yizhou named Zhang Ren with 3,000 archers in the dense forest on the way south, and the front army was defeated. Yuan Shu was too single, and after leaving 3,000 troops in Hanzhong to garrison, he actually supervised a large group of men and horses to go out of Yizhou through the valley.

Obviously, General Xiao Yuan received the news that Ma Yue of Liangzhou had gone out of the pass to attack Luoyang.

"Smack!"

Sitting in the military tent, Ma Yue angrily threw the slip to the ground, and with a crisp sound, the thread was broken, and the pieces were scattered all over the ground. The warriors on both sides of the tent knelt down, how had they ever seen Ma Yue have such an angry moment? Even Yang Feng, who was holding a sword on the side, was in a ...... Everyone knows that something big is wrong!

"Uncle?" Ma Chao looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Yuan Shu deceived me too much!" Ma Yue pointed to Jian Mu, who was broken into pieces, and said, "Captain Zhichong, my nephew Dai'er!" Yuan Shu caught him. ”

Ma Yue shook his head, his tongue quickly brushing his teeth. A member of the Ma family was imprisoned in Yuan's army. Suddenly, Ma Yue said, "I'm going to rescue Bo Zhan!" ”

Cheng Li's eyebrows furrowed, he knew that Ma Dai was the only son of Ma Yue's second brother, picked up the books that fell on the ground and pieced them together and swept them together, Ma Dai knew that after the third uncle raised troops from Liangzhou, he led more than 100 of his cronies to ride out of Yizhou, and was caught up in the valley and was defeated and captured. This letter was written by Yuan Shu, who wanted to force him to return to Liangzhou with his nephew's life.

Cheng Li secretly said in his heart that it was not good, this thing was going to be bad! Ma Yue has never been a coward who can be threatened by others, and this matter cannot be handled well...... Whether it is being flanked by two sides or Ma Dai is killed, it will inevitably cause immeasurable losses to the Liangzhou army.

In the final analysis, it was Ma Yuexing's troops who led to Ma Dai's capture, and if the news reached Zhangjiachuan, it would even shake the foundation of the Liangzhou army.

"Cheng Li, send all the assassins you have cultivated, and I will let all the generals in Yuan Shu's army die!" Ma Yue's face was hideous, and he patted a few cases and said: "Lao Tzu wants to crush Yuan Shu's bones and scatter ashes!" Dare to arrest my nephew, return to the army, I will kill him, kill all of them! ”

Jia Xu knew that Ma Yue was confused by this incident as soon as he saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Envoy, I am afraid that sending assassins will have little effect, the top priority is to rescue the young general, I am afraid that the army will not work, first of all, we must send people to infiltrate Yuan Shu's army to find out the whereabouts of the young general." ”

"Cause some more chaos to the enemy army, and send elite soldiers and horses to rescue the major general while the chaos is in chaos." Cheng Li continued: "But before that, you need to mix good hands into the side of the major general, so as to protect the life of the young general in times of crisis." ”

Ma Yue smashed several cases in front of him with one punch, and Tang Shuishu fell to the ground. Only then did he relieve the stagnation in his chest a little, got up and paced back and forth in the tent, opened the curtain of the tent and took a few deep breaths, then turned around and entered the tent and pinched his waist and said: "This matter is not urgent, stabilize Yuan Shu first." Zhong De wrote a reply letter on my behalf, telling Yuan Shu that I knew what he wanted, and asked him not to hurt the nephew of the Ma family. In addition, I will give up Chang'an City and ask him to station troops. In a few days, I will meet him in the tomb east of Chang'an. ”

"Xingba, you will lead the armored infantry army to Chang'an now, let Du Ji Peihui arrange the mansion, and order the soldiers to live in various places, whether it is pretending to be a strong guardian, or the common people. And Ah Ruo, you contact Bao Chu of Xinfeng and ask him to find some good hands and live in Chang'an City together. Ma Yue rubbed his swollen temples and said: "This matter must be dealt with, Bao Zhu must mix with Ma Dai as soon as possible, don't let him be poisoned by Yuan Shu." ”

"No!" Cheng Li nodded and said, "Rest assured." ”

After explaining these things, Ma Yue turned his head and said to Yan Xing: "Yanming, this side will be handed over to you, ten days after I leave, you will lead the troops and horses back to Weinan, Huayin will not want it, and I will talk about it after dealing with Yuan Shu." ”

Hearing that Ma Yue threw the task of staying behind to himself, Yan Xing's waist straightened, and he said with his head held high: "Don't worry, lord! ”

"Meng Qi, you lead the armored heavy cavalry to be responsible for breaking the rear when withdrawing the army, and you must not let Yuan Shao bite from the back, which will make the enemy nervous at all times." Ma Yue pressed his hand on Ma Chao's shoulder and said: "If the enemy pursues, you will lead the cavalry to hide in the narrow valley road, and wait for the enemy to attack from the back of the aisle, no force can stop the charge of the armored heavy cavalry, and breaking the rear is the first priority of the general." I'll go and save Bo Zhan, and I'll leave the matter to you. ”

All the generals agreed together, Ma Yue patted his palm on the armor twice with some unease, and finally said: "Weibei Yunchang's department also needs to be informed, Wenhe, Zhongde, all the decisions on this side will be decided by the two of you through consultation." ”

That night, Ma Yue led 3,000 Liangzhou Qiang to ride to Weinan with stars and moons.

……

Ma Yue didn't know that there were worse things waiting for him in the world.

At the ferry near the Yellow River in Hedong County, the bonfires of several company camps were red at night, Guan Yu stood on the hill and looked at the opposite side with some anxiety, and roughly calculated, there were no less than 5,000 sergeants stationed on the other side of the river, and only 6,000 sergeants in the entire Linjin garrison. Guan Yu was a little bottomless in his heart, he couldn't let these enemy troops cross the river.

"Hold the heavy ballad on the hill and aim for the river." Guan Yu squinted his eyes, if he wanted to fight, it was best to cross halfway through the enemy ship and re-nail the ship plank...... Guan Yu suddenly thought of how to prevent the enemy from crossing the river in a warboat. When Ma Yue was in Liangzhou, he once said that he shot the city wall with a heavy crossbow, and the end of the heavy spear was tied with a hemp rope, and the sergeant climbed with strength.

Guan Yu couldn't help but wonder if the two heavy crossbows were tied to the same hemp rope and tied to the two warships, would they be able to collide in the turbulent Yellow River?

"Find a blacksmith, make a heavy iron spear, and smash the iron hook out of the tail!" Sending heavy troops to guard the riverbank, his idea may not be useful, the enemy army is already rushing to control the warship, if the enemy army crosses the river, then it can only face a hard-fought battle.

Time passed in a flash under the confrontation between the two armies, and for ten days in a row, Guan Yu counted the number of ships on the opposite shore, three large ships, and dozens of ships...... That's almost enough to cross the river and attack.

Guan Yu also forged thirty iron rope spears on his side, and he did not ask the craftsmen to build more, but sprinkled traps such as thistles on the riverside to prevent the enemy from coming ashore. He only had ten heavy crossbows, and he couldn't use any more iron spears.

On the night of the thirteenth day, the figures on the other side were longing, and Guan Yu knew that the first water battle in his life was about to begin.

"Crossbow on the string, bow on the arrow!" Guan Ping lowered his voice and roared in the military column, and his hands were already standing in three columns, facing the direction of the enemy's attack on the high ground by the river. The enemy can only go ashore from here, the shore north of Linjin is too high, and the south is the mouth of the Yellow River, and the water flow is turbulent, and the slightest carelessness will be swept into the waves.

Guan Ping broke the cover of the oil and poured the ditch that had been dug in advance in front of the archers' array.

There were three columns of archers, two columns of archers took alternate fire rocket suppression, and the third column was thrown by crossbowmen. The boats on the other side moved, the horses shuttled through the Liangzhou military formation on the riverside, and the military orders were issued one by one, Guan Ping glanced at his father who was giving orders on horseback, and lowered his hand to ignite the torch to ignite the oil.

"Whoosh!"

At a very fast speed, a tongue of fire erupted on the ground, and the full six hundred paces of fire oil channel burst into flames. The fire shone out of Guan Ping's young and resolute face.

Guan Yu led hundreds of cavalry on the side, and with a wave of his hand, the heralds had already rushed out.

The enemy's three warships were heading towards the opposite bank, and when they were halfway across the river, several screams suddenly sounded on the small hill of Guan Yu's position, and then several huge spears were seen shooting out, and the small rings of the spears were tied with hemp ropes to form several long lines in the air.

Five pairs of iron rope spears were fired into the riverbank, and the Han soldiers on the boat were immediately shouted in shock, no one had ever seen such a strange thing, obviously shot from a crossbow, but there were spear-like arrows.

The heavy subway spear flew out a hundred steps in the air, fell rapidly with a scream, and suddenly nailed a Han soldier to the ship's board, although the Han soldier held the shield in his hand, but it did not play a defensive role at all, the shield was directly penetrated, and the whole person was nailed through the boat.

The ropes on the spears hung until the river.

These flying spears failed to have the effect that Guan Yu imagined, the two flying spears tied to the rope greatly affected their accuracy in the air, and only two of the ten spears were tied to the boat, but the rope hung a lot on the walking rope.

Guan Ping estimated that the timing was about the same, and the enemy ships were only a hundred steps away from the shore, so he drew his ring knife and shouted: "Start the fire...... Shoot! ”

The archers brushed the sackcloth-covered arrows from their longbows and ignited them on the burning oil, and then threw them at the sky.

Hundreds of fiery arrows fell from the sky, nailing them to the warships and walkers as if they were raining fire from the sky.

"Ignite, shoot!"

The archers of the second column switched positions with the first column and began to prepare for the second throw, while at the same time, the crossbowmen fired from their backs.

Guan Yu frowned, waiting for the moment when the enemy army landed, and he wanted to lead the cavalry to attack before they were ready to form a formation!
