"Sure enough!" Zhang Chen clapped his hands excitedly, opened his eyes that had been mushy for a lot, opened his mouth that had not been brushed for three days, laughed, and then greeted, "Brothers! It's all gathered and ready to go! ”

No matter who eats high-calorie food for three days in a row, and doesn't eat some vegetables, rice, or anything, and doesn't wash up properly, it's like this, and no one is much better.

The soldiers are in the field, and they can still be clean and not contaminated with any dust?

Anyway, Zhang Chen didn't care what he looked like now, and the most important thing was that he finally waited for what Zhang Liao explained......

Zhang Liao took 800 cavalry to the east, and Zhang Chen took 200 cavalry to hide between the hills, eating the "bamboo tube rice" left by Zhang Liao for the cavalry of Zhengxi, drinking the spring water in the mountains, and the daily expectation was to send people to wear camouflage clothes to check the movement of Zheng County.

Zhang Chen's face was covered with dust, and the marks of sweat caused his face to show a natural camouflage color, one white and one black, but his eyes were shining under the, looking like a beggar sitting on the ground in later generations looking up to see the beauty in the miniskirt swaying in front of him, not only excited, but even a little excited.

Zheng County's actions meant that Zhang Liao's speculation had come true.

The so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

When the big head soldier does not have sufficient oil, the amount of these carbohydrates consumed is quite large, although Lian Po is still able to eat, although it is about the anxious mentality of an old man who wants to fight, but it can still reflect how amazing the amount of food of the soldiers at that time was in this regard.

And when fighting, the consumption is even more terrifying.

The huge amount of exercise, plus no one knows if they can sit down and eat the next meal after eating this meal, so fear can not only make people crazy, but also increase the amount of food, even if it is two or three times the amount of food on weekdays, it is basically swept away, if it is not for the control in the army, the implementation of rationing, the soldiers can even eat the original three days of food in one day!

With high-calorie food such as fat, and it is a dough cake that has been fried and dried in advance, Zhang Chen can not only reduce the number of fires, but even do not need to carry a large amount of grain and grass in a short period of time.

It's just that eating too much will inevitably have some side effects, such as getting angry, such as pooping and not coming out, etc., but in terms of its convenience, these things are not a problem.

At least Zhang Chen thought so, if it weren't for these special grains and grasses, the frequently rising cooking smoke would definitely be easy to be noticed by the Yang scouts who were watching from the top of the mountain, and now, these Yang scouts were like they were blind, coming and going under Zhang Chen's nose, as if they were not seen.

In this era, relatively speaking, the land is still vast and sparsely populated, plus Dong Zhuo has cleaned it up before, and the population of many areas has been moved to Guanzhong, resulting in the Hongnong realm, many villages in the mountains are abandoned, Yang Chen took people to shrink in such abandoned villages, hiding under the burned eaves and broken walls, if you don't enter the cottage, who can find out that there are people and horses hidden here?

The opportunity was placed in front of Zhang Chen in this way.

Since Zhang Chen followed Zhang Liao, he has been busy following Zhang Liao's buttocks, and he has been disliked by Zhang Liao from time to time. Zhang Chen is also helpless, so he can only do what he can do, endure hardships and stand hard work and do not complain, and now he is finally waiting for an opportunity to prove himself!

Two hundred cavalrymen, stepping on their war horses, poured out like a tide along the mountain road, and excitedly pounced on the grain queue that was marching towards Tongguan, like a group of hungry gray wolves pounced on the beautiful sheep.

The soldiers of the Yang clan did not expect to encounter the troops of Zhengxi here, and even they thought that the men and horses of General Zhengxi had arrived near Hangu Pass, and this area was safe and there was no danger, so when they saw Zhang Chen rushing over with his men and horses with his teeth and claws, many people were stupid.

The petty officer who was responsible for transporting grain and grass came back to his senses and shouted loudly, hoping to command the few grain guards to defend and counterattack, but these were basically auxiliaries who were originally sent to transport grain and grass, and most of them had not been on the battlefield properly, and when they saw the war horses galloping, they basically subconsciously scattered and fled.

Because in the consciousness of these grain and grass guards, they are just an existence that is slightly higher than the people's husbands, and most of them do miscellaneous work in the army......

The auxiliary soldiers are like this, and the people who are brought in to work as coolies are even more unbearable.

However, there were still more than a dozen people standing, standing upright and guarding the side of the grain and grass vehicle, and did not escape.

"Well done!" The petty officer in charge of escorting the grain and grass shouted, "This is the master! I'll take credit for you when I go back! "The petty officer is also helpless, everyone else can run, but he can't, because even if he runs, he will lose his head if he loses food and grass, it is better to die here in battle, and he can still mix some pensions......

The little officer was about to pat one of them on the shoulder and let him line up to meet the attack, but he saw that the little soldier's legs were shaking like chaff, his upper body could not move, his face was so white that he could not even speak, but stared at the direction in front of him.

The little officer hurriedly turned his head to look at the other person, but found that although this guy was not shaking his legs, his crotch was already wet......

"Ah......h

However, the petty officer's death-seeking attack could not stop the cavalry's hooves, and Zhang Chen, with his men and horses, swept through the entire queue in a blink of an eye, extinguishing all those sporadic resistances.

"Take as much as you can!" Zhang Chen brandished his war knife and roared loudly, "Then pile it in one place!" Go up in flames! ”

The fire rose into the sky, and the dried grain and grass were the best fuel, and the thick black smoke in the flames rose into the sky, exuding a thick scorching smell.

Zhang Chen turned his horse around, saw that the fire had spread to most of the vehicles, and whistled: "Let's go!" ”

Zhang Chen liked this feeling too much, it was like a whirlwind, whistling and whistling, the whole battle was only an hour, but it stabbed Yang Jun's waist ribs......

………………………………

Zhang Chen is not the only one who likes to roar and gallop with cavalry.

Xiahou Yuan is too.

Xiahou Yuan seems to have been born with a love for riding horses, and he also enjoys the feeling of being on horseback, his clan brothers often laugh at him for being half a Hu man, if he can stick to a horse, he will stick to it for the rest of his life.

Xiahou Yuan always smiled.

How can these fools understand what it feels like to be blown by the wind at the ends of your hair, when the dirt splashes under a horse's hooves, when the earth is hurtling on its hind legs?

However, there is also something that is right, Xiahou Yuan really feels that he is a little like a Hu person, especially when he gallops, he feels that this world is his own, and he is the master of the lambs in the world......

Cao Cao now does not have many cavalry, and there are few who can act as cavalry generals, so Xiahou Yuan became the first cavalry commander and managed more than 1,000 men and horses.

"Are you sure?" Xiahou Yuan stared at the messenger scout in front of him and asked.

The scout nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes." ”

Xiahou Yuan clapped his hands and said, "Good! Go down and fix it quickly, and then set off immediately, and tell the hidden brothers in the city that when the smoke rises outside the city, they will seize the city gate! If you can succeed, you will be counted as the first merit! ”

"Yui!" The scout was stunned and then retreated.

Xiahou Yuan stood and looked to the west, then roared, laughed like a horse thief, and shouted: "Haha, brothers, you have to give your damn spirit, the big deal is coming!" ”

………………………………

"Yes, indeed...... Really, about a thousand......" The commander of Hangu Pass pointed to the distant clearing under the city and swore solemnly, "...... Really, I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, and I was closing it......"

Commanding more than 1,000 cavalry of Yang Biao, he worked hard to rush to the cavalry captain of Hangu Pass, but he didn't expect that what he saw was an open space, and there was no trace of people.

"How many people are there? Don't do anything probably, right or so! "The Captain was clearly unhappy with such vague figures.

"Uh...... This one...... Definitely no more than a thousand rides! Hangu Guan Ling wiped the sweat on his head and said.

"A thousand horsemen," the rider commander nodded, repeating him. In terms of quantity, since the other party does not have an advantage, in terms of the physical strength of the war horse, the other party is running back and forth like this, and it also does not have an advantage, in other words, this battle can be fought!

The task of the cavalry captain this time is very clear, whether it is to defeat Zhang Liao's army from Hongnong, or drive it out, anyway, Zhang Liao can't be allowed to bring people and horses to make trouble in Hongnong, how to farm in various places, and where to find this year's harvest?

Therefore, no matter what, it is necessary to fight a battle, since his side has the advantage, he can't easily let Zhang Liao's men retreat easily!

"Someone, herald!" "Half an hour to eat, half an hour to form a team, and an hour to set off!" Those who mislead the army, slash! ”

………………………………

After chasing Zhang Liao's troops for most of the day, although there was no trace of it, the cavalry lieutenant thought that there should not be much gap, in order to ensure the physical strength of the men and horses, he found a suitable shelter before sunset, and camped. No matter what, after all, it is necessary to rest, even if people do not rest, but the horse can not not rest, take a good rest, tomorrow, at most the day after tomorrow, will inevitably catch up with the Zhang Liao troops who have a lot of physical consumption of war horses.

Captain Cavalry was very sure of this, but what Lieutenant Cavalry did not expect was that not everything could develop in the direction he wanted......

At the end of the day, when the heavens and the earth were at their darkest, the soldiers on duty outside the camp were napping with their arms folded, unaware of the danger coming.

Most of these Yang cavalry were originally private soldiers raised by the Yang family or the big and small tycoons in Hongnong, although because of this mixed food, these people's riding skills were not bad, and some of them were even better than the Hu people, but in terms of military discipline and combat intuition, it was inevitable that there were some deficiencies.

This is not too big a problem, after all, Yang Biao originally formed such a cavalry team to balance the cavalry of the forbidden army in the hands of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, and he did not plan to send it to the battlefield in a short time......

But in the end, the plan can't keep up with the change.

Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty originally had nothing, but when he arrived in the north, he had more foot soldiers and cavalry, and then turned into a forbidden army of Liu Xie's North Palace, although Yang Biao tried every means to deduct the supply and reduce the number of some of these soldiers, but after all, it can't be done too much, so it is quite important to have a cavalry that can compete with Luoyang, if it weren't for Zhang Liao stabbing to Hangu Pass, which is related to the entire Hongnong suddenly has the danger of being cut out, Yang Biao will not easily move this cavalry team.

Everyone was sleeping soundly, and suddenly a few terrible screams resounded throughout the night sky, startling many people to jump up on the spot and look around in panic.

In the dark night, the firelight flickered in the distance, dozens of figures loomed, and a battle flag fluttered in the air, and the three-color stripes were so dazzling.

"What a situation! How could the camp be attacked?! The Captain was puzzled and shouted angrily.

There is a big difference between a cavalry camp and a foot camp. The camp of the foot soldiers is basically divided into three parts: the front battalion, the middle army, and the rear camp of the baggage, with clear functional distinctions and clear geographical divisions, but for the cavalry camp, it is more important to choose a place suitable for livestock to take shelter from the wind and rest at night, and because the people and horses are staying together, it is not as orderly as the foot soldiers.

At the same time, for the convenience of entering and exiting, there was no camp wall or anything, but only a horse rejection was set up in front and behind the road, and personnel were dispatched to take turns cruising and guarding the outer line. Therefore, basically the cavalry camp occupies a large area, just like the current cavalry captain, and basically covers a large part of the road, including the entire woodland next to the road and a part of the valley......

And these soldiers of the general of Zhengxi actually appeared in the interior of this valley!

How did these people come out?

This valley is closed!

"Damn it!" The Captain of the Cavalry roared angrily, "Who led the team to survey the valley today!" ”

At this moment, it is the darkest time before dawn, the alarmed Yang soldiers are dizzy, they are killed by dozens of people into the camp, they will cut people when they see them, and they will kill them when they meet them, and some people are standing in the dark behind them, as long as they see the Yang soldiers riding on their war horses and preparing to come forward to resist, they are a few crossbow arrows flying in, and even people and horses are shot to the ground, and the Yang soldiers in the valley are suddenly suppressed, and the chickens and dogs are jumping, and the scene is extremely chaotic!
