Just when Cao Renshi hurriedly marched to Yingzhou, Sun Wanrong was not idle.

He Axiao Su stood in front of Sun Wanrong and listened to his instructions.

"The hour is almost up, and the old and weak soldiers and old cows and thin horses you are looking for can set off." After Sun Wanrong finished instructing He Axiao, he glanced at Mr. Wang again and said, "I don't know what else Mr. has to say?" ”

Mr. Wang stepped forward and said something in He Axiao's ear.

He Axiao listened, nodded and said, "I understand!" ”

Sun Wanrong admonished: "You must do what Mr. tells you, don't make extraneous branches!" ”

"Got it!" He saluted Sun Wanrong and said, "Dashuai, I'm going!" ”

……

Groups of old and weak soldiers and civilians, dressed in ragged shirts, led old cattle and thin horses, pulled dilapidated carts, and slowly came out of the Huangzhang Valley in each other......

……

Hurrying and hurrying, Zhang Shuo and Yang Si finally intercepted the forward troops of the Great Zhou Raiding Army.

Zhang said that he had been serving in Menxia Province and had never been in the barracks except for the Imperial Forest Army, who had seen the guards. Today, it was the first time he saw the might of the Great Zhou army, and he couldn't help but admire.

Yang Si was more knowledgeable than Zhang Shuo, and couldn't help but splash cold water on the side: "Lord Zhang, to be honest, I'm not optimistic about them, it's still far from Yingzhou, the army is wearing heavy armor one by one, looking majestic, it won't be long before people are sleepy!" If you really run into an enemy......"

Although Yang Si's words were not finished, Zhang Shuo had already heard the meaning of the words, and his face couldn't help but be hot.

Although he was shocked by the majesty of the forward team, hearing Yang Si say this, Zhang Shuo also felt that something was wrong.

When Zhang Shuo and Yang Si met in front of Cao Renshi, the forward troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty were less than ten miles away from Huangzhang Valley.

"The Khitans set up an ambush in the Huangzhang Valley? But what did you see with your own eyes? Listening to Zhang's advice, Cao Renshi frowned and said.

Zhang Shuo shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but the terrain of Huangzhang Valley is complicated, and it is better to be careful with General Wangcao!" ”

"Okay, General Ben knows about this!" Cao Renshi was a little absent-minded.

Cao Renshi's tone was perfunctory, Zhang Shuo was very unhappy in his heart, and he showed no mercy when he spoke again: "In any case, General Cao must first send scouts to find out the situation in the valley, and then send troops and horses in, so it will be safer!" ”

Cao Renshi couldn't help but shout loudly for Zhang's unrelenting, "General Ben has been in the army for decades, do you still need to teach you how to fight......

Speaking of this, Cao Renshi suddenly stopped, looked at Zhang suspiciously, and said, "You said that you are the left of the subordinate province, but there is a fish talisman to prove it?" ”

The fish talisman is a certificate carried by the ministers of the imperial court to indicate the status level, and the name of the official, the yamen and the official rank are engraved on it.

Zhang said that he went out of Beijing to Yingzhou on the secret order of Wu Zetian, of course, it was impossible to bring the fish talisman with him, and when he heard Cao Renshi's question, he was stunned and speechless.

Seeing that Zhang's face was wrong, Cao Renshi's face turned cold and said: "You don't have a fish talisman to prove your identity, and you are ashamed to claim that you are an official of the imperial court." General Ben now suspects that you are a spy sent by the Khitan, who wants to disturb the morale of the army and prevent our army from going north to conquer! Someone, tie him up for me! ”

The soldiers on the left and right were about to take Zhang Shuo down, but Yang Si saw that this was not right, and hurriedly said: "General Cao cut slowly, I'm here."

There is a waist card to prove your identity! ”

After that, Yang Si took out the waist card and handed it to the soldiers.

Cao Renshi took the waist card from the hands of his own soldiers, and checked it carefully, and sure enough, it was the waist card issued by the Ministry of Internal Servants, which means that Yang Si was a eunuch from the palace.

Seeing that Cao Renshi's face softened a little, Yang Si took the opportunity to say, "General Cao, what Lord Zhang said just now, you better think about it again!" ”

Cao Renshi squinted his eyes and asked, "Regarding how to fight against the Khitan, do you have His Majesty's holy decree?" ”

Yang Si shook his head.

"Since there is no holy decree, you should not inquire about the affairs of the army again!" Cao Renshi said unceremoniously.

Zhang Shuo said angrily on the side: "This is related to the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, why didn't General Cao send scouts to find out, and he had to rush into the valley?" ”

Cao Renshi pointed to Feng Qingshan beside him and said to Zhang: "This is Lord Feng Qingshan of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion, he and dozens of captured officials came from Yingzhou. According to the information provided by them, the Khitans were already preparing to flee to the Song Desert. Therefore, our army must seize the time to bite the enemy. There are endless mountains in the area of Yingzhou, even if you send scouts to find out before setting off, it will be delayed for at least three days, do you know what three days means? The Khitans have been operating in the Song Desert for decades, and if the Khitan main force is allowed to easily withdraw to the old nest, it will be difficult to fight the battle in the future! ”

Zhang said that he was about to refute, but saw a captain come to report: "General, there is Huangzhang Valley in front, and many people have come out of the valley!" ”

Cao Renshi raised his horsewhip and shouted: "Order the troops to stop and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

The forward brigade stopped, set up a formation, and looked in the direction of Taniguchi.

The mountains on both sides of the valley mouth are connected, and outside the ridge are mountains; The mountains are high and steep, with steep cliffs and steep into the clouds. The canyon in the ridge is vertical and horizontal, and it is unfathomable. The mountains are covered with green trees, green pines and cypresses, strange flowers and plants, gloomy and dark......

When the people who came out of the valley saw the officers and soldiers, they immediately threw down the dilapidated cart that was leading the old cow and the thin horse and the car, and ran towards the officers and soldiers crying, and some of them even crawled with them: "Official, you are here, save us......

These people ran to the officers and soldiers and knelt down, and repeatedly kowtowed for help.

Through interrogation, these Khitans all fled.

Seeing the old, weak, sick and disabled Khitan hungry people kneeling and surrendering in front of him, looking at the old cows, thin horses and dilapidated carts abandoned on the side of the road, Cao Renshi was very proud and laughed: "Hahahaha...... It seems that Feng Beijia is right, the Khitan really has no food to eat. Li Quanzhong, Li Quanzhong, you are about to become Li Quanzhong! Hahahaha...... Hahahaha......"

Cao Renshi sent someone to quickly report the situation to Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie, and then waved his horsewhip on the horse, shouting: "Pass my order, pass through Huangzhang Valley quickly, and be sure to rush to Yingzhou City today." The Khitans were hungry and cold, and they could no longer survive, as soon as our cavalry arrived, they had only one way to surrender. ”

Hearing Cao Renshi's order, thousands of cavalry bravely took the lead and entered the Huangzhang Valley in a mighty manner, and the smoke and dust raised covered the sky and the sun.

Not only Cao Ren's division, but also Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie also led their respective troops to advance first.

Zhang Xuanyu shouted loudly: "Speed up, whoever arrives first will be the first credit!" ”

The banner of "Zhang" struggles forward.

Ma Renjie saw Cao and Zhang Erjun speeding up, and they did not show weakness, whipping their horses, and taking the lead

。

Under the word "hemp", the soldiers are all as anxious as electricity.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang said that he could only smile bitterly, he knew that in this situation, no one would pay attention to what he said.

Sure enough, this result was exactly what Lu Xiaoxian expected, and the generals who led the troops were completely dazed.

Looking at the depressed Zhang Shuo, Yang Si persuaded: "Lord Zhang, when I came, Lu Gongzi specially explained that if the vanguard army enters the Huangzhang Valley, let us not delay and quickly move closer to the rear army escorting the baggage!" ”

Glancing at the officers and soldiers who were rushing to enter the valley, Zhang Shuo sighed and said, "Let's go!" ”

……

On the mountain on the right side of the Huangzhang Valley, under the big sword, Sun Wanrong held a horsewhip in his hand, looking down on the army that flocked into the valley like ants, and was quite high-spirited.

Sun Wanrong's left hand side is Mr. Wang, and his spirit is particularly strong at this time. On the right hand side are Tun Desire Valley and Ashina Jingliu, their faces expressionless, but like outsiders.

Seeing that all the officers and troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty had entered the ambush encirclement, Sun Wanrong instructed the heralds beside him: "Blow the horn!" ”

"Yes!"

More than a dozen sergeants put the horns to their mouths and let out a deafening "woo woo woo ......" cry, which echoed and trembled throughout the valley, getting louder and louder, reaching the bottom of the Yellow Deer Valley.

Cao Renshi's troops were marching in the valley, and when they heard the sound of the horn, they were immediately stunned, and they all stopped and looked up at the mountains on both sides.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the two cavalry of He Axiao and Li Kaigu, who were ambushed in the valley, attacked from all sides and attacked the Great Zhou army.

The officers and soldiers were suddenly attacked, caught off guard, and responded in a hurry, and there was no space for the formation to spread, so they could only be passively stabbed. In addition, they trampled on each other in the rout, and the casualties were even worse.

Li Kaigu is the first general under Li Qianzhong, he is agile, galloping on a horse, coming and going like the wind, flashing and moving on the saddle, and he has reached the realm of "unity of man and horse".

I saw him take the lead, just like chasing the wind and the sun, first shooting wildly with a bow and arrow, and then dancing with a scimitar, the arrow was pointed, a wail, the blade reached, and the blood rushed to the sky.

Suddenly the people in the valley turned on their backs, the blood flowed like a river, and the cry was earth-shattering......

After the two armies rushed and killed for more than an hour, the horn of the Khitan army sounded again.

As soon as the horn sounded, the two cavalry units of He Axiao and Li Kaigu suddenly withdrew from the valley as if out of nowhere.

As soon as I withdrew to the mouth of the valley, I only heard the rumbling sound in the valley like a huge thunder rolling, but I saw the huge rocks and rolling logs on the ridges on both sides of the Huangzhang Valley suddenly descending.

The valley was filled with smoke, cries, neighing horses, the roar of boulders and rolling logs, the wails of soldiers who had been struck, the clashing of swords......

He Axiao and Li Kaigu's two armies stopped at the mouth of the valley, and all the officers and soldiers who escaped from the valley were killed, and black and purple blood water gushed out of the valley along with the spring water.

Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie had just entered the valley, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they rode horses and desperately retreated from the valley.

It's easy to get into the valley, but it's hard to get out.

Li Kaigu led the Khitan cavalry to constantly intercept and kill the soldiers out of the valley, and the archery and scimitar were very painful for the Great Zhou army, but Li Kaigu did not give up. He stopped his horse and calmly took out the lasso from his horse. He had been aiming at Zhang Xuanyu and Ma Renjie for a while, and from the clothes of these two people, he judged that these were two big fish.
