Some things, accidental and inevitable, are not so clearly distinguished.

But the problem is that there are always some sudden, accidental things that inadvertently and quietly arise, like the nail on the horse's shoe......

Although there are no iron horseshoes yet, only wooden.

Yang Jun can be said to be a local battle, because the transportation is convenient, so there is no need to bring a large amount of grain and grass at one time, and there is no need to build a special place to store grain in a certain place, such as Wuchao, and the rear will continue to send grain and grass, so there will be a grain road, and such a grain road has become the best target in the eyes of Zhang Liao and Pang Tong.

However, when the original grain road was threatened, Yang Jun decided to use a batch of grain and grass from Zheng County to relieve the emergency, which became a reasonable thing, and from common sense, the temporary grain road like this is generally relatively safe.

Because of the short time and the inconvenient communication in the Han Dynasty, even if it was discovered by the enemy, it was difficult to make a difference. The scouts had gone to great lengths to find out, passed it back, and then sent people out, and by the time the troops arrived, the process of transporting grain and grass had all been completed, and this temporary grain route had disappeared.

So for the most part, temporary food routes like this are safe. However, Yang Jun only undercalculated one possibility, Zhang Liao would actually leave Zhang Chen here with some people to touch the prize......

It's like a cavalry lieutenant who came from Luoyang, and he didn't expect that Zhang Liao would actually bring some good hands and hide in the valley to prepare for the prize.

The valley is not big, and it is closed, standing at the mouth of the valley, you can see the bottom of the valley at a glance, there is no shelter from the woods, there are no strange rocks, very simple steep slopes, very simple grass, so simple that people can see all the situations at a glance, naturally there will be no one to climb the steep slope to see if there is any treasure among the grass and shrubs on the steep slope.

Zhang Liao was an excellent cavalry general, and naturally knew what terrain was most suitable for camping, especially cavalry camps.

Here's for example.

A small valley is like a natural fence to hold the horses, and the sparse woodland on the periphery can be used to build hammocks or curtains to protect the dew from the dew, and to allow the horses to rest.

There is a stream on the side of the mountain, which is very convenient for getting water or drinking horses.

Scouts and roving riders are released along both ends of the road, and you can repair here with peace of mind.

No longer camped here, where else can you go?

After Zhang Liao threw Dong Zhuo from Lu Bu, he was separated by Li Ru to lead the troops, and he has been wandering around the area of Hangu Hongnong, maybe Zhang Liao is not very clear about the terrain and landform in other places, but is it here......

"Buzz!"

Zhang Liao turned around and threw a spear that he snatched over, and a small officer in front of him who was holding a mounted shield and holding a war knife to gather soldiers, maybe a curly commander, or a tun commander, did not expect Zhang Liao to still aim at him in the chaotic battle, and suddenly fell down with a scream.

The valley is not big, which means that it is not easy for people outside to attack the surface, outside the valley mouth, there are dozens of armor soldiers blocked, it seems to be the personal guard of the commander of the Chinese army, seeing the situation in the valley, he can't help but wave his blade and let out bursts of roars, but because of the chaotic men and horses in the valley, these elite armor soldiers can't join the battle at all for a while.

The war horses that were originally encircled in the valley have now been coaxed out by Zhang Liao's personnel and galloped towards the valley mouth, causing even more chaos in the scene. Under the shouting of people and horses, almost everyone let go of their voices, shouting and shouting without stopping for a moment, everyone felt that their ears were "buzzing" tinnitus, and any sound and language lost their meaning, resulting in even though Yang Biao had more soldiers than Zhang Liao, but the order could not be transmitted, and even if it was transmitted, not many people heard it.

And Zhang Liao is undoubtedly the most terrifying killing god in such chaos!

From the moment he rushed out of his hiding place, Zhang Liao was at the forefront from beginning to end, using a big gun with one hand in his right hand, flying up and down, and holding a war knife in his left hand, which not only covered himself, but also cut down those enemy soldiers who tried to get close.

The more chaotic the scene, the more calm Zhang Liao became, the whole person was like a machine, always scanning and paying attention to the subtle changes in the surroundings, and the figure was also flickering left and right, always appearing in the place where the Yang soldiers tried to gather together.

A spear, in Zhang Liao's hands, sometimes smart, sometimes heavy, when it is smart, it drills into the gaps, pierces the arms and insteps that cannot be covered, and when it is heavy, it is like a heavy hammer, smashing one after another on the shields stacked by the soldiers of the Yang family, and after breaking through the defense, it is slammed into it, completely defeating the defensive front.

The purpose of these cavalry barely gathered together as foot soldiers and tried to stop Zhang Liao was nothing more than to let the soldiers and horses outside the valley form a cavalry formation and rush in, but Zhang Liao did not leave these people any chance, like a whirlwind, stirring up the entire valley to a piece of erosion.

The captain of the horse turned his horse to avoid a war horse that rushed over, and his heart was dripping blood! Originally, in the valley, nearly one-third of the war horses were arranged for repair, but now these war horses have been lost in vain in the chaos......

Even the most docile war horse is still a livestock, and people are panicking, let alone war horses?

The frightened horses fled and galloped in all directions, and several times the array of the cavalry captain was ready to rush into the valley to disrupt. According to military law, those who rush into the formation in a rout should be beheaded on the spot, but the problem is that these are not soldiers, but war horses! Even if he killed a few horses in front of him, the war horses with high myopia would still rush over regardless of it, and these war horses were all collected by Yang Biao with great difficulty, and the cavalry captain was also very clear, how could he bear to do this?

Time passed minute by minute, and finally when the war horses in the valley were either dead and wounded on the ground and mourning, or escaped from the valley, and gradually became less chaotic, the cavalry captain raised his war knife, and it was finally time to vent the anger in his stomach, pointing at Zhang Liao in the valley and roaring: "Kill!" Kill ......"

Before the second killing word was shouted, a new round of screams came from the west!

Zhang Liao's cavalry on the periphery saw the sky-high firelight, heard the noisy and chaotic sound that resounded through the four fields, and touched it silently, and the chaotic scene in the valley made the cavalry lieutenant not aware of the approach of Zhang Liao's cavalry on the side. Attention was all attracted by the situation in the valley, and when Zhang Liao's cavalry came out of the darkness, Zhang Huang shouted, but it was too late.

The cavalry at high speed quickly entered the camp of the cavalry captain, drove the Yang soldiers who were not in formation to scatter and flee, and then provoked fire and threw ...... left and right.

"Captain! Captain! The Yang soldiers shouted in a panic, "What should I do, what should I do?" ”

The head of the cavalry captain buzzed, and almost all the blood rushed to the head, and when he turned around and looked into the valley, he found that Zhang Liao, who was still slashing and killing, had quietly left the battle with people and shrunk back into the darkness in the valley......

On one side is the valley where the battle has come to an end, and dozens of fierce but small soldiers of the general of Zhengxi, as long as they rush in with their men and horses, they can at least exterminate most of them to relieve the hatred in their hearts......

On the other side, there are a large number of cavalry marching to the west, crisscrossing the camp in the west, driving soldiers and horses, burning utensils, if they do not come to the scene to suppress, I am afraid that the scene will be more erosive, if the horses suffer losses......

The cavalry captain gritted his teeth, a trace of blood oozed from his gums, stared at the valley fiercely, and ordered: "Come on, seal the valley intersection...... For the rest, come with so-and-so! "Although the cavalry captain wants to immediately crush Zhang Liao's bones to ashes, but after all, the overall situation is important, and when a new threat is in front of him, it can be the lesser of two harms.

If the remaining men can't stop Taniguchi, after the cavalry they will attack in the future is defeated, it will naturally be not too late to turn around and come back to clean up!

The cavalry captain endured the burning anger, and as soon as he arrived at the camp in the west with his men and horses, he found that the cavalry of the expedition to the west, which was originally imposing, had turned around and set a lot of fires, and then turned around and left without a fight.

"Their horses are tired! Not much horsepower! The cavalry lieutenant reacted quickly and shouted, "Chase! Catch up! Kill them all! ”

The cavalry lieutenant suddenly felt in his heart, and he rushed back and forth in Hangu, Shaanxi County, and it was not fully repaired, even if it was an iron-beaten war horse, it would still be exhausted! No wonder they can only engage in these small actions to carry out sneak attacks, because their war horses no longer have the strength to fight head-on!

The more he thought about it, the more furious he became, after all, he was knocked down head-on by a powerful opponent, and he did his best, but although he died without regrets, he was repeatedly bullied by such means, and even his uncle couldn't bear it.

The cavalry captain sorted out the soldiers and horses, raised the torches, and followed the back of the cavalry to the west, even if he couldn't intercept and kill all of them, kill some of them, and seize some war horses and armor, on the one hand, he could reorganize the morale of his own soldiers, and on the other hand, he could let himself have some evil anger in his heart!

The horses' hooves rumbled, like drums and thunder, and under the roar of the cavalry captain, everyone let go of their horses, and soon saw the back of the cavalry of the expedition to the west who was hurrying away in front.

This is the official road between Luoyang and Guanzhong, flat and smooth, for many years there have been people dedicated to maintenance, and these Yang soldiers who were originally from Hongnong are also familiar with the terrain, so even at night, under the condition of poor lighting, they can still control the war horses and bite the tail of the cavalry of Zhengxi.

"Catch up and kill them all!" The Captain of the Cavalry brandished his sword and roared loudly.

"Kill them all!" After being humiliated all night, recovering from the initial panic, the Yang cavalry, who was eager to wash away the shame with the blood of their opponents, also shouted in unison at this time.

The Yang cavalry kicked the horse's belly again, speeding up. Perhaps it was really because the cavalry horses of the general Zhengxi were tired and consumed too much physical strength, the Yang cavalry chased closer and closer, and the cavalry of Zhengxi was only four or five miles away from the body of the horse, and many of the Yang cavalry had already raised the swords in their hands, leveled their spears, bared their teeth and cracked their mouths, roared excitedly, and chased forward frantically......

At this moment, a war horse chasing on the top side suddenly screamed, the horse lost its front hooves and fell to the ground, and the Yang knight on the horseback was caught off guard, flying out of the clouds, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and plunged to the ground with a pop, seeing that he couldn't live.

Before the others could react, two more horses fell one after another, followed by two more, and the cavalry on horseback couldn't control their bodies at all, and flew out with somersaults.

"Be careful, tripside!" The cavalry captain struggled to hold on to the reins and shouted loudly, reminding his men to be careful. However, I was excited to chase all the way just now, and now I am in a hurry, where can I say that I can accept it?

In a series of loud noises, more than a dozen war horses rumbled to the ground, and the scene was chaotic.

The warhorse man stood up, rushed a few steps ahead, and finally stopped, and the cavalry captain shouted while trying to control the warhorse: "All on alert! Step forward and clear the tripwires! ”

As soon as the words fell, a sharp scream was heard coming out of the darkness!

"Crossbow!" With years of experience, the cavalry lieutenant quickly judged the threat he was about to face, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly shrunk his body behind the horse, "Spread out!" Avoid! Throw, throw away the torches! ”

In the dark, torches are the best target.

I heard the sound of bowstrings, and one after another crossbow arrows flew out of the darkness, and some of them missed, but those shots, whether they were shot at people or horses, immediately pierced deeply, and some penetrated directly, bringing out a bloody hollow.

One horse after another fell, one soldier after another fell, screaming, and the neighing of horses became chaotic.

Several astute soldiers hurriedly threw away the torches in their hands, and then stepped on all the torches that fell to the ground around them......

The robes and armor weren't enough to resist the sharpness of the crossbows, but the darkness could.

In the darkness of the battlefield, the crossbow bolts with the roar of death finally stopped, and then it was as if they had never appeared......

Zhang Liao climbed up the steep slope along the rope, motioned to his subordinates to pull the rope up, turned his head to look at the battlefield that had fallen into darkness again on the west side, smiled slightly, and then said to his subordinates: "How, are you happy tonight?" ”

"Rejoice! Of course! ”

"That's nature!"

"It's happy, it's dark, and I don't know how many ...... I cut."

"There's a lieutenant here, you're indispensable!"

Zhang Liao laughed and said loudly: "Follow so-and-so, I'm not afraid of less merit, I'm afraid that you won't be able to catch up, and you won't be able to catch up!" Hurry up, we're going to get to the next one! ”
