Before dawn, a team of Shu troops quietly came out of their own camp. More than 2,000 soldiers, all cavalry, prepared pack horses, and carried a large number of fire-starting things.

The track is not deliberately hidden, the speed is extremely fast, and the surrounding roads and geographical conditions are already very well understood, and the goal is clear, pointing directly to the floating beam of the Wei River. The night wind carried the moisture of the river, eliminating some of the summer heat, and the Shu generals who led the army constantly urged their subordinates to speed up.

The morning was dark, and the Wei River was almost hidden in the twilight, and as far as the eye could see, it was pitch black, except for a little light that flickered from time to time, proving the flow of the river. The floating beams across the banks do not look very solid, and there are some swaying movements under the washing of the river.

In front of the floating beam, there are lights, like guiding lights in the dark. On the south bank, there is a temporary fence to block horses and sheep's horns as a precaution. At the beginning, the Shu army withdrew back to Weinan and did not fall into Fuliang, and there was no plan to conquer Sanguan and then cross north. The Han and Shu sides are even more scheming, so this floating beam has been preserved to this day

However, now that the Shu army is ready to withdraw its troops, it has to be destroyed to prevent the Baoji Han army from crossing the Henan River to pursue. In fact, the floating beam, which was originally unhandled, suddenly appeared in the Han army, and Li Tingqi aroused vigilance.

The situation between the two armies is that one side is that I know that you are going to withdraw our troops, and the other side is that I know that you know that I am going to withdraw my troops, and it depends on how to fight.

"General, the Han army's Fuliang garrison seems to have been strengthened!" Running closer, looking at the situation at the ferry, an officer said to General Shu, who was leading the troops. According to previous investigations, the Han army did not attach importance to Fuliang and only sent a battalion of soldiers, but at present, just looking at the layout of the camp, there are at least a thousand Han soldiers, holding the target of their attack.

General Shu observed it slightly, his face was resolute, and he said in a deep voice: "What is being ordered to kill is to burn the floating beams of the Wei River, don't think about it, no matter how many people he has, kill me before the Han army reacts!" ”

After that, he took the lead in the charge, and rushed towards the floating beam, and under the warning of the sentry, Han Lei, who had slowly reacted.

was old and had a shallow sleep, and after being awakened, Zhao Hui quickly regained his clarity and inquired about the situation.

"What's going on with the floating beam?" Zhao Hui asked Xiang Xun, who came to report in person.

"A Shu cavalry raided Fuliang, intending to burn it, but it was rejected by the soldiers, I have sent troops to support, and the death order is guarded!" Xiang Xun reported briefly.

For a while, Zhao Hui deliberately delegated power to Xiang Xun, as if this kind of impromptu decision, mobilizing soldiers and horses, Xiang Xun was able to self-determine.

"Choose such an hour to raid Fuliang, it seems that the withdrawal of the Shu army is just today!" Zhao Hui made a judgment and said affirmatively.

Looking out at the sky, the morning light had been revealed, and the sky and earth were bright white, Zhao Hui smashed his fist and said, "You can send troops!" ”

At this time, Yao Yuanfu walked up to the hall, his steps were agile, not at all like an old man who was nearly seventy years old, with heavy armor on his body, and there was no trace of burden between his face.

Standing with his sword on his shoulder, he said to Zhao Hui: "Du Shuai has made a decision, you can let me lead the troops to attack!" ”

Seeing the performance of the veteran, what else could Zhao Hui say, he nodded in agreement, but did not forget to advise: "Brother Yao should remember, the battle of pursuit, when judging the situation, the Shu army retreats, I am afraid that it will not be unprepared, don't fight to the death!" ”

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Yao Yuanfu hurried away, looking impatient.

Seeing this, Xiang Xun couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty tasted it, ambition is not old!" Yao Gong is nearly seventy years old, and he can still be so generous and heroic, and he is really admirable! ”

"Your grace to the people of the stars is also unmatched!" Zhao Hui also rarely praised Xiang Xun in person.

Yao Yuanfu here, personally led 7,000 steps to ride out of Baoji, this is the elite gathered from the imperial Shu army, the essence, the combat power is good. Straight to Fuliang, the Shu army that raided couldn't fight for a long time, and after dawn, they had no choice but to retreat. Although the floating beam was not destroyed, it was inevitably damaged after all, and when Yao Yuanfu led the army, the Han army was cleaning up the battlefield and rushing to repair the floating beam.

In this regard, Yao Yuanfu was so angry that he jumped to his feet, scolded on the north bank, and once had the urge to lead the cavalry to wade across the river. After delaying for nearly half an hour, Yao Yuanfu led the foot horse to set foot on the land of Weinan.

"Envoy, the Shu army of Sanguan and Chencang Mountain has withdrawn from the southwest and has retreated more than ten miles!"

After receiving the report of the Tancai, Yao Yuanfu thought about it for a while, and immediately summoned the general Li Yan and instructed: "I will lead the horse army first, move forward to pursue, entangle the Shu army, you lead the foot soldiers, and follow the back!" ”

"Let's take the lead of the last general to lead the light cavalry to assault in front!" Li Yan persuaded.

"The military situation is urgent, how can I tolerate you, the Shu army retreats, if it is delayed, the military aircraft is delayed, and the Shu army is released, how can I explain?" Yao Yuanfu: "I will fight the enemy myself!" ”

"Jie Shuai—"

"You dare to disobey my military orders?" Yao Yuanfu turned his head and glared at him.

"The last general will not dare!" When the veteran is stubborn, the subordinate generals dare not look at him.

"In addition, report the military intelligence to the marshal's mansion, and suggest that the rear army be dispatched!"

"Yes!"

Without further delay, Yao Yuanfu drove the healthy horses, led more than 3,000 horsemen, rolled up dust and smoke, and pursued the Shu army in the southwest. General Li Yan was helpless, but he didn't dare to slack off, while sending someone to report the military situation to the marshal's mansion, while leading the foot soldiers, following behind.

In Baoji City, Zhao Hui'an sat in the court, not moving a little, but the old eyebrows frowned slightly, and since the Yao Yuanfu led the army to attack, he did not see much relaxation.

Before he did, Xiang Xun walked up and bowed his hand: "Du Shuai, the army has been reorganized!" ”

"Xingmin, you should know why I let you reorganize the army!" Zhao Hui seemed to come back to his senses, looked at it and asked.

Xiang Xun's expression was steady, and he said: "Guanshu general Li Tingqi, although it is difficult to have a surprising ability to lead the army, it is also a little talented. The situation between the two armies can be described as tacit. Once it has withdrawn its troops, it will not be unprepared for the pursuit of our army! It is best if the medicine prince goes, and if there is a change, he must not be worried! ”

After looking at Xiang Xun up and down a few times again, Zhao Hui couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder, the Son of Heaven will let you come to Fengxiang!" ”

"It's up to you to lead the army to postpone and answer the medicine man!"

"Yes!"

Xiang Xun led the army, and before he could finish it, he learned about the movements of the Shu army and the decision of Yao Yuanfu. I felt a feeling in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a little impatient, and hurriedly urged the army, Yao Yuanfu seemed to be deliberately adventurous.

More than 60 miles in the southwest of Baoji, near the solid road water, there is a village named Donghe, the mountains are undulating in the distance, the forest is lush, but the surroundings are quite flat, such as a depression. An ambush battle against the pursuing soldiers of the Han army has begun.

Li Tingju, the commander of the Shu army, not only backed up, but also planned to win a battle before withdrawing the army, so that he could return to Sichuan and make a difference. Yao Yuanfu led a light horse, chased after dozens of miles, broke through three soldiers behind the palace of the Shu army, and finally bit the main force of the Shu army near Donghe Village. Then, they fell into a heavy siege, followed by a bloody attack and a white-knuckle fight.

With decades of combat experience and countless adventures, Yao Yuanfu was not too panicked when he was about to besiege, his judgment was keen, and he decisively broke through a slope in the northeast of the village. And Yao Yuanfu, as he said before the war, personally operated the sword, commanded the enemy, boosted morale, waited for reinforcements, and steadily withstood several times the enemy.

Li Tingjue's Chinese army was stationed in the village, climbing high and looking out, the sound of killing was loud, and the fierceness of the battle could be felt far away.

"Recruit the envoy, General He has led the army, surrounded the Han army six miles away, and is attacking and killing!" The military cavalry came to report.

"Good!" Li Tingqi couldn't help but stroke his palms, a rare gaffe, since the Northern Expedition, he has fought too aggrieved, and said with a smile: "These Han soldiers are too arrogant, just this little soldier and horse, they dare to rush in and chase me!" We must teach them a profound lesson today! ”

"Recruit envoys, this place is too close to Baoji, and when you hear about the change, there will be reinforcements coming south!" The general under his command reminded.

Hearing this, Li Tingqi directly ordered: "Pass the order, go all out to attack and kill the Han army, end the battle as soon as possible, and annihilate all of them before the Han reinforcements arrive." ”

"The Han army has nothing to rely on, I will attack it with several times the army, and see how it can be blocked!" Li Tingjue's tone revealed something called self-confidence.
