After Zhao Yun sent Cheng Yi and Hou Cheng, he suddenly thought of a key matter, and couldn't help but ask Guo Jia with some concern: "Mr. Fengxiao, Zhao suddenly remembered something. ”

Guo Jia shook the feather fan lightly, and said lightly: "General Zilong has something to worry about, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"If Li Dao and Guo Yan take the first step and seize the grain and grass." Zhao Yun said cautiously: "When they find that they can't move all the grain and grass, will they burn the remaining grain and grass?" ”

Regarding Zhao Yun's worry, Guo Jia stared at him for a while, then shook his head and said, "General Zilong is too worried. If it was somewhere else, the grain and grass might be killed, but near Chang'an, it would definitely not be burned. ”

Guo Jia's answer confused Zhao Yun, and he asked puzzledly, "I don't know why?" ”

"General Zilong doesn't know that the price of grain in Jizhou is 200 yuan per hundred, but in Chang'an, it is as high as 500,000 yuan." Guo Jia looked at Zhao Yun and said: "The price of grain is comparable to Jinzhu Meiyu, not to mention, if you want to recruit troops and buy horses, you really can't do it without food." Jia dared to conclude that even if Li Guo and the others robbed the grain and grass escorted by Meng Dai, they did not dare to burn it easily, but found a place to store it. When they want to recruit troops, they will take out this batch of grain and grass. ”

"If this batch of grain and grass is taken away by Li Guo and the others, not only will the people of Chang'an be hungry, but even the army will run out of food." After Zhao Yun heard what Guo Jia said, he said worriedly: "If Li Guo and the others take the opportunity to cover up and kill when we retreat, we will inevitably be defeated. ”

"Although Meng Dai is just a nameless, after all, he has 3,000 soldiers under his command, and even if he is besieged by Li Guo and the others, he is completely capable of self-preservation. Besides, we also sent Cheng Yi and Hou Cheng, with their rescue, Li Guo and the two want to seize the grain and grass, where is it so easy. Guo Jia smiled and comforted Zhao Yun and said, "General Zilong, don't worry too much. ”

Besides, after Meng Dai learned that the grain team he was escorting might be attacked by Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses, he raised his vigilance. Send several teams to scout the horses, and walk five or six miles in front of the grain team, and if there is any trouble, he can know at the first time.

On this day's trip, after walking less than ten miles, Meng Dai suddenly saw a few horses galloping in front of him. Judging from the other party's clothing, it was all the exploration horses released by himself, Meng Dai couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and secretly said: The one who is coming is finally here.

A cavalryman came straight to Meng Dai, shouting loudly: "Captain Meng, the big thing is not good, the thieves are coming!" ”

Meng Dai hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?" ”

The cavalry rushed in front of Meng Dai, restrained the war horse, and replied with some panting: "There are about twenty or thirty thousand people, all of them cavalry, and the distance is only fifteen miles." ”

Fifteen miles away?! Meng Dai secretly calculated in his heart that the other party only needed two sticks of incense to rush here. Fortunately, it had been discussed with Zhao Yun in advance, and once Li Guo's soldiers and horses attacked, the grain convoy would immediately form a circle formation and use bows and crossbows and spears to resist the enemy.

Thinking of this, Meng Dai hurriedly shouted loudly: "The convoy stops, quickly surround the city with the grain truck, and prepare to rely on the grain truck to resist the incoming thieves." With his order, the soldiers and the charioteers hurriedly unloaded their horses and formed a circle around the carts full of grain bags.

Meng Dai saw that the crossbowmen were ready, and then put his hands on the pergola and looked into the distance, only to see a black line appear on the horizon in the distance. The black line grew thinner and thicker, squirming towards where he was. Seeing this, he knew that it was Li Guo's cavalry that had arrived.

Meng Dai called a military commander and said to him: "You quickly take people to Chang'an and inform General Zhao that we are waiting for Li Guo and the two thieves to intercept them here, and ask him to quickly lead his troops to the rescue." Captain Wu agreed, and led his subordinates to ride out of the circle and head south. After avoiding Li Guo's men, they planned to turn around and head west and rush to Chang'an to report the news.

The faint sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and Meng Dai felt the ground trembling slightly under his feet, and his hand holding the weapon was covered with sweat. Looking around, I saw the crossbowmen and foot soldiers hiding behind the grain cart, and their bodies were trembling slightly, obviously shocked by the cavalry of Li Guo and the others.

Although Meng Dai was very scared in his heart, he knew better in his heart that if these soldiers around him were suppressed by the momentum of Li Guo and the others, then it was a question of whether they could support Li Guo and the others for an hour under the siege of Li Guo and the others. So he raised his voice and shouted: "Don't worry, soldiers, General Zhao Yun in Chang'an has long guessed that there are thieves coming back to attack our grain team, so he and I have set a plan to deal with these thieves. Only if everyone held out for an hour, our reinforcements arrived. ”

Although the soldiers in the car formation were frightened by the cavalry momentum of Li Guo and the others, when they heard Meng Dai shouting like this, their hearts suddenly felt much more steady. In order to save their physical strength, the crossbowmen put their crossbows on the grain cart and sat next to the cart to rest. And the foot soldiers did the same, holding their weapons and sitting on the ground.

When Li Guo's cavalry was still a mile away, Meng Dai raised the weapon in his hand and shouted loudly: "Crossbowman, prepare!" ”

With his shout, the crossbowmen sitting on the ground brushed the ground and stood up, picked up the crossbows they had placed on the grain carts, and aimed at the cavalry rushing in the distance, just waiting for Meng Dai's order, they could pull the trigger and shoot the crossbow arrows that had already been wound.

When Li Guo and the cavalry were only a stone's throw away from the car formation, Meng Dai roared violently: "Release the arrow!" At the same time, he waved the weapon in his hand downward. The crossbowmen pulled the trigger sharply, and a thousand crossbow arrows flew into the air like locusts, drawing beautiful arcs and falling into the ranks of the cavalry.

For a while, the neighing of horses and the screams of people were endless. After the horse that rushed to the front was hit by an arrow, he knelt down on his front leg and threw the cavalry on his back. After the cavalry was thrown out, the horses that were hit by the arrows rolled forward and smashed on their own masters under the action of great inertia. The cavalrymen, who were lucky enough not to be stoned to death, did not wait for them to stand up, and the cavalry that swarmed from behind trampled them under the hooves of their horses.

The crossbowmen in the cart formation fired three times in a row before the cavalry of Li Guo and the others rushed to the grain cart. Because the grain carts were full of grain, the cavalry could not leap over, and because they were rushing too fast, they could not restrain their mounts in time, and as a result, they knocked people on their backs. Seeing that the cavalry was in chaos, the soldier with a spear hurriedly stepped forward, stabbed the spear out of the gap in the grain cart, and stabbed the cavalry outside the cart formation off his horse.

While the infantry used their spears to reap the lives of the cavalry outside the chariot array, the crossbowmen were not idle, and they used their crossbow arrows to shoot at the cavalry that rushed towards them. In just half a pillar of incense, the corpses of cavalry and horses were piled up outside the chariot array, and there were thousands of them. Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were following behind, saw that the grain convoy had already prepared, and knew that if they continued to attack like this, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses, so they hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw their troops.

After the soldiers and horses returned, Li Dao roughly counted the number of people and found that more than 3,000 horses had been lost, many of whom were veterans who had followed him for many years. Seeing this situation, Li Wei asked Guo Yan a little depressed: "Ado, it seems that the soldiers and horses in Jizhou have been prepared, what should we do next?" ”

Guo Yan looked in the direction of the chariot formation for a while, and then said: "Childish, I see that this chariot formation is quite tight, if you want to use cavalry to rush away, I am afraid it will not be easy, it will only increase casualties." ”

After Zhao Yun sent Cheng Yi and Hou Cheng, he suddenly thought of a key matter, and couldn't help but ask Guo Jia with some concern: "Mr. Fengxiao, Zhao suddenly remembered something. ”

Guo Jia shook the feather fan lightly, and said lightly: "General Zilong has something to worry about, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
