"The whole army is ready!" Looking at the smoke and dust that kept pouring in, Xu Chu shouted loudly and said that he was not worried that he would be discovered by the enemy, in fact, the sound of his horses' hooves was enough to cover his sound after passing this location.

With Xu Chu's voice 'faintly', all the soldiers on the canyon were half-squatting and bending their bows and arrows, looking at the smoke and dust that kept churning, as long as Liu Bei gave an order, he could shoot the enemy troops under the mountain into hedgehogs.

"O military advisor! Why do I think something is wrong with this smoke? Xu Chu looked at the enemy army that was getting closer and closer, touched his head and asked with some doubts, "This kind of formation seems to be a bit too big!" This number must be more than 30,000 people! ”

"Yes, military advisor, this formation doesn't look like 30,000 people, in my opinion, there are at least 50,000 people here!" Liu Bei looked at the smoke and dust that was constantly rising under the canyon and said with some doubts, and couldn't help but be a little nervous in his heart, knowing that the news he received was only more than 30,000 people, but how could 20,000 people appear out of thin air.

In the war, there is a slight error in the number of news that may lead to the defeat of one side, not to mention that the current error is as much as 20,000, which is almost more than double the difference.

"Don't worry, it's still far away, maybe Yuan Shao is setting up suspicious soldiers! Now that the Youzhou army is about to move, I don't believe that he will not leave a large army to defend Qinghe, but devote most of his troops to attack us! Even when the judge saw such a situation, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but the judge still suppressed the panic in his heart and said calmly.

Although he is not the main general of this battle, but he is also the only military advisor under Liu Bei, if he is messed up, then Liu Bei is not even more chaotic, so no matter what the situation, he must maintain his calm mentality.

As Yuan Shao's army got closer and closer to the canyon, its speed seemed to slow down a little, and in the billowing smoke, it seemed that the entire army was divided into two parts, and the infantry behind began to stop slowly, but the cavalry in front was still running towards the front, as if they had not received the order to stop at all.

"Strategist, what do you think Yuan Shao means?" Liu Bei looked at the scene in front of him, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know why Yuan Shao would use such a method.

"It should be that Yuan Shao knows that we are ambushed here, but he wants to eat us here, so he sent some soldiers to the other side of the canyon first, so that he can attack our army back and forth!" The judge said with some hesitation, in fact, whether it is really like this is the case and there is no spectrum in the heart of the trial.

After all, now that the sky is full of smoke and dust, it is difficult to achieve even if you want to understand the situation of Yuan Shao's army, so it is even more difficult to grasp the situation of Yuan Shao's approach.

"Huh!" Suddenly, Xu Chu said with some confusion, "There are branches and leaves tied behind those cavalrymen of the military division!" Looks like there aren't a lot of cavalry of these! ”

As soon as Xu Chu's words fell, Liu Bei and the trial quickly shifted their gaze to Zheng

The cavalry who was about to rush into the canyon was about to hear the sound of sparse horses from time to time between the rolling smoke, and after the smoke, you could see that many branches and leaves were driven by the horses, constantly raising the dust on the ground to form a sky of smoke.

"The sound of these branches sweeping the ground is so loud that I can't hear how many cavalry there are below! However, judging from the neighing sound, it seems that there are not many horses below....." Liu Bei said with some hesitation. "What do you think, Strategist? Could it be that this cavalry is actually not very numerous, just to test whether we have an ambush? ”

"This ......" The head of the judge couldn't help revealing beads of sweat the size of beans, the current situation is really a little anxious, whether Yuan Shao has found out to surround him, or just to test whether there is an ambush here, it is very possible, such a situation will bring two different endings if he sends troops to block or not.....

"In that case, let's put it to the test! Please also ask the lord to order Lu Yi to shoot a round of arrows when those cavalry are about to arrive, as long as those soldiers stop or turn around, it will be a temptation, otherwise, they must have found something and want to surround our army! In the end, the trial still adopted a method that was not a solution, and said helplessly to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded slightly, for such a puzzling thing, only this is the only way to be safe, after all, he and others are only 20,000 people, and now Yuan Shao's side is suspected to be 50,000, which is more than doubled, once he and others are surrounded, it will definitely be a catastrophe.

However, if he and the others escape now, they will definitely be killed by Yuan Shao, and even if Yuan Shao only has more than 30,000 people, it will be enough to chase him out of Jizhou, and even if he and the others escape to Qingzhou in such a hurry, they can only guard the silent development of the Beihai, let alone want to expand their territory in the first time.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Liu Bei and others did not run away when they encountered such a situation, they might be able to survive in general, but if they wanted to retreat, it would only be a dead end.

"Pass my order to let Lu Yi shoot a round of arrows when this wave of cavalry passes by, and see if it's true!" Liu Bei looked at the constantly rushing smoke and dust and said loudly, "The whole army listens to the order!" Always be ready to shoot your arrows! ”

As soon as Liu Bei's words were finished, the army ambushed on the mountain began to act quickly, and all the soldiers put the arrows in their hands on the bowstring, and even Xu Chu silently picked up the big knife beside him, his eyes were blazing and looking at the smoke and dust below, and there was a strong murderous aura in the atmosphere of the imminent outbreak of the war.

By this time, the cavalry had already rushed halfway through the canyon, and it seemed that it would not be long before they broke through, and then all the situation might be changed.

Liu Bei and the judge looked at the gorge mouth deadly, they knew that the answer to all this would be known from that gorge, a drop of sweat slowly slipped from the heads of the two but they didn't feel anything, the two just looked at the gorge in the distance without blinking, their hearts beat wildly, and their eyes became very sour because they were too nervous, but they still didn't dare to blink or dare to transfer one

A little bit of sight.....

"Kill!" Suddenly, there was a shouting of killing and the neighing of horses in the mouth of the gorge in the distance, and the canyon, which was still a little quiet, suddenly became a little hot, but such heat generally represented the beginning of a big war.....

"When the lord heard this voice, it must have been Lu Yi who stopped Yuan Shao's cavalry, it looks like a big fish! Otherwise, Lu Yi wouldn't have stopped it! The judge said with some excitement, now that Yuan Shao's suspicious soldiers have finally been cracked, as long as he commands well, he will definitely be able to help Yuan Shao's army out of this danger, and even say that he can defeat Yuan Shao's troops here!

"Hahaha! It seems that Yuan Shao's suspicious soldiers are still not as good as Lu Yi! Zhong Kang immediately led his troops to defend the mountain road up the mountain! You have to hold it! Liu Bei laughed and said that his eyes were full of essence, which was the light of ambition.

"Military Division, you are here to lead a part of the soldiers to intercept Yuan Shao's support troops with all their might, and you must not let Yuan Shao's army support it smoothly!" Liu Bei said to the judge next to him again, the battle has reached this point, and everyone knows how to arrange it.

"Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely let Yuan Shao's reinforcements not pass so smoothly!" Since Liu Bei let himself guard against Yuan Shao's reinforcements, it is better to simply agree, with Liu Bei and Lu Yi defending at the exit, presumably those cavalry will be difficult to break through the defense line of themselves and others.

"In that case, I'll lead the troops to support!" After Liu Bei finished speaking, he turned around and rushed towards the exit of the canyon, and also took away three thousand soldiers and armor, in the eyes of the judge, Liu Bei's side estimated that it would not be long before the battle would be resolved.

After all, the path in the canyon is narrow and crooked, and it is difficult to fully develop the advantage of the cavalry, and once the cavalry momentum is intercepted, it is difficult to attack, and the cavalry without horsepower is inferior to the infantry on the ground.

However, the trial would never have thought that such a cavalry that was difficult to exert its full strength brought a lot of problems to Liu Bei, and even eventually led to Liu Bei's army being directly surrounded by Yuan Shao on both sides and almost defeated.

The infantry at the entrance of the canyon did not rush into the canyon at the first time, but silently formed a formation at the bottom of the mountain, as if they wanted to attack the canyon and completely ignore the life and death of the cavalry in the canyon, everything was to use those cavalry as outcasts, just to cover the real army to attack the canyon.

Looking at Yuan Shao's army under the mountain, his brows furrowed slightly, it seemed that Yuan Shao's actions were a little too slow! At such a rate, it would be impossible to attack the top of the hill before those cavalry died! Once Liu Bei's side is solved, what awaits the cavalry will only be surrounded and killed!

The judge thought silently in his heart, and there was an imperceptible light in his eyes, "Could it be that Yuan Shao is so sure that those cavalry can break through our army's line?" ”

"Send an order to General Xu, tell him to pay attention to precautions, Yuan Shao's army may have a conspiracy! You must not take it lightly....." said the judge loudly.
