In Licheng City, Jiao He heard the sound of gongs and drums, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the sound of gongs and drums fighting?" But the thieves are attacking the city? Immortal Master! Where is the Immortal Master? ”

The few immortal masters and Zhu Wu who were relied on by him walked in with pale faces, and reassured them again and again, saying that there was nothing to do outside.

Jiao He asked in disbelief, "What about Wang Leopard?" Let him come to see me, by the way, then Zhao Yunke drove out? ”

These gods are about to cry, my envoy, you are still driving out, in a few days, it is not certain whether we will be driven out.

Despite this, no one dared to tell the truth, after all, Jiao He only had saliva, and Wang Bao had a knife in his hand, only saying that there was a thief army shouting outside the city, Wang Bao had already gone to defend against the enemy, and Zhao Yun withdrew the army back to Zhu'a, and Jiao He continued to sleep with peace of mind.

Seeing Jiao He sleeping, several gods glanced at each other, waved their hands and left the room, whispering outside, not knowing what they were discussing.

-- Tai County

"Zilong called, he led a light horse to the military camp outside Licheng City, although there are many soldiers outside Licheng City, but there is a lack of elite, it seems that Xu He and others are waiting for us in front."

Jia Xu took the telegram and handed it to Ma Qiang and said, Ma Qiang looked at it and immediately said, "Then let Huaxiong march slowly, fight steadily, and the enemy will not chase after him?" ”

Jia Xu shook his fan and smiled, "The front is Dongping Tomb, there are many mountains in the south of Dongping Tomb, Xu He must be ambushed there, Ming Gong doesn't want to quickly level Qingzhou, since Xu He wants to use the plan, it is just the plan that can be calculated."

Ming Gong can let Hua Xiong rush to fight, secretly bring more wire, spears, bows, crossbows, and arrows, and tell him not to enter the danger, as long as he can start a battle, with the courage of Hua Xiong and the Xiliang army, it is not a problem to hold on for an hour or two. ”

Ma Qiang clapped his hands and said, "Okay, do it!" ”

- Heban Mountain

Riding a fast horse into the mountains, he reported to Xu He and Sima Ju, who were looking at the map to discuss the deployment, "Report to the two commanders, Hua Xiong, the vanguard of the Plains Army, has been killed less than thirty miles away from here. ”

Xu Hexian asked, "How many people?" What about Ma Qiang? ”

"There were only 5,000, and Ma Qiang led more than 10,000 men to follow, and the two armies were about twenty miles apart."

"Twenty miles?" Xu He thought for a while and said, "This battle is not easy to lead the plain soldiers and horses, if you only kill one Huaxiong, it is too cost-effective, it is better to set up two ambushes, after Huaxiong arrives, the two mountains will first send half of the soldiers and horses, surround it but not kill, wait for Ma Qiang to rescue, and then send out ambush soldiers to surround and kill it, how?" ”

Sima Ju patted his leg and smiled, "This strategy is very good, even so, let me go out first, so that Ma Qiang can believe that the main force of our army is here!" ”

On a small hill on the edge of Heban Mountain, Guo Jia was tied with grass and trees, hiding in a tree and looking around, and when he saw that the birds often flew but did not fall, he knew that there must be soldiers and horses lurking among them.

"That's it! Let me see how this battle is fought in this horse plain! ”

Hua Xiong led his soldiers and horses at this time and chased the defeated soldiers in front of him without hurrying or slow.

While chasing, Hua Xiong still shouted everywhere from time to time.

"The flags are all messed up with me, you are chasing the enemy, not marching!"

"Let some people stop and pick up some of the rags they have dropped, this group of thieves, luring the enemy and not knowing how to throw some good things, what kind of broken copper and iron."

"I still lost five battles in a row, and I didn't look at who your opponent was, and when I was in the third formation, I felt that something was wrong, go and tell the right wing, the shield soldiers will take it back for me, are you going to tell people that we know that there is an ambush ahead?"

Hua Xiong said, and suddenly found that the terrain in front of him was suddenly wrong.

Two mountains suddenly appeared on the land of the flat river, and the line of sight in front of them quickly narrowed.

That's it!

Hua Xiong's face became nervous, and he made a gesture to let the flag outside, blocking the view, and the sergeants formed a scattered but not chaotic queue inside, waiting for the ambush to come out at any time.

Xu He, who was on the mountain, saw Huaxiong killing between the two mountains, and shouted violently, "Beat the drum!" ”

For a time, the drums were loud, and the soldiers and horses of the two roads were killed from Heban Mountain and Zhujiayu, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was originally pursued, also turned around and killed back, and for a time, Huaxiong's soldiers and horses were surrounded on three sides.

The distance between Heban Mountain and Zhujiayu is not the usual dangerous road in Yizhou, but is four or five miles apart, giving Huaxiong time to react.

Of course, if Hua Xiong hastily withdraws his troops, I am afraid that he will lose most of his money after chasing and killing along the way.

"Defend the battle! Cloth barbed wire!! ”

Hua Xiong shouted loudly, the army has its own horn to give orders, a spear with a shield poked on the ground, forming a shield array, and then a sergeant dropped barbed wire rings in front of the shield array, these barbed wire rings have barbs, especially restraining the Yellow Turban Army's poor armor.

Xu He on the mountain was surprised to see that the Huaxiong soldiers and horses below had erected a rudimentary defensive position with barely half a stick of incense, and he only felt panicked in his heart.

Isn't this a good preparation?

But the ambush has already been out, and it will definitely be too late to retreat, so we can only fight first.

"Shoot the arrow!!"

Bursts of arrows flew out of Huaxiong's humble defensive position, and the Yellow Turban Army that had just besieged it suddenly suffered hundreds of casualties, frightening many people to retreat again and again.

"Damn it! Give it to me! ”

Sima Ju held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and rushed out with hundreds of elite soldiers wearing battle armor, and went straight to the barbed wire, before he could cut with a knife, he saw several spears stabbing at him, and hurriedly used the shield to break away, and the yellow turban elites on the side followed and swarmed forward, wanting to tear open the barbed wire, but they didn't know how to start for a while.

After all, the Yellow Turban Army of this era did not have the habit of wearing iron gloves.

"Qu Shuai, Xu Qu Shuai sent a message, let us just use the shield to besiege the officers and soldiers, and then shoot with a bow and arrow, no need to attack, say that the big fish is behind!"

Sima Ju thought about it, so he commanded the sergeant to surround Huaxiong, and then set up a shield array, and the arrows on both sides were like this, from Guo Jia's point of view, it was quite spectacular.

"This Huaxiong seems to be just a reckless man... It seems that I have been prepared for a long time..."Guo Jia touched his chin and continued to sit on the tree to watch the battle.

Huaxiong is fighting here, and Ma Qiang will be repaid.

"Wenhe, there is indeed an ambush, but Hua Xiong said that the thief army is not strong, and there is no problem with him guarding for a few hours, what do you think?"

Jia Xu stroked his beard and said, "The thief army is so tactical, Huaxiong is only 5,000 people, and he will say that it is not strong, I am afraid that the thief army did not use all his strength..."

"You mean?"

"I'm afraid the thief army is waiting for us, after we go, there will be an ambush!"

Ma Qiang smiled: "How do you think Wenhe should arrange the formation?" ”

"You can break it! Although the terrain here is narrow, it is also four or five miles wide, and the cavalry can be used, and the Ming Gong can lead the soldiers and horses to the rescue, so that General Ziyi's Xuanjia cavalry will be delayed, and after the thief army is exhausted, with the power of the Xuanjia iron cavalry, it should be swept away! ”

Armored cavalry?

Ma Qiang nodded, Xue Zang Tai Shici's Xuanjia cavalry should be used for so long, and the terrain under Heban Mountain is indeed suitable for heavy cavalry like Xuanjia cavalry.

"That's it!"
