Unexpectedly, Li Dang only brought 4,000 people, which together was far less than the official army. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】hua. .Visit:. 。

Tang Sai'er was by his side, and after seeing Li Kang, he was a little embarrassed, because Li Kang was Li Yan's brother. Although Li Yan was not there, Li dared to know that he was chasing Li Yan.

But at this time, the situation is urgent, and we can't think about this, so Tang Sai'er said: "Since there are few people and horses, we can't fall in love with the war, let's go out first and go straight to the direction of Hanzhong." Everyone nodded, Zhang Xianzhong sent Sun Kewang in front, Li Dang was in the middle with him, Liu Wenxiu broke off, and the team rushed straight to the northwest.

Qin Liang's 'jade's camp was already 'chaotic', and the men and horses were scattered everywhere, so they couldn't stop Zhang Xianzhong and Li Kang's joint assault, and they rushed out after a short time. At this time, the official army led by Zeng 'Yu' also arrived, and Qin Liang 'Yu' ordered not to stop for a moment, and chased closely behind.

More than 40,000 officers and soldiers were in front of the cavalry, infantry in the rear, and followed by the peasant army.

Zhang Xianzhong has been defeated for a long time, and before that, he would abandon the infantry, let them scatter, lead the cavalry to get rid of the pursuit of the official army, and then slowly gather men and horses, he has done this no less than ten times. But today is different, Tang Sai'er made it clear, the most capable general in Sichuan is Qin Liang's 'jade', this time when he enters Sichuan, he must gain a firm foothold, and if he wants to gain a firm foothold, he must first defeat Qin Liang's 'jade'.

At this time, as soon as the people dispersed, this goal could not be achieved. Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong ordered that all the most capable soldiers should be placed behind, and then let Li Dingguo assist Liu Wenxiu.

Sure enough, Li Dingguo led the 'elite' men and horses to the rear, and together with Liu Wenxiu, killed two counter-charges, and finally blocked the momentum of the official army's fierce pursuit, so that it could not get too close.

The two groups of men and horses, one after the other, were separated by more than ten miles and came to Hanzhong.

Qin Liang 'Yu' only looked at the direction of Zhang Xianzhong's defeat and escape, and knew that they were retreating to Hanzhong, and sneered in his heart, because Hanzhong was hundreds of miles away from here, and the large group of people and horses fled, and they were either killed or scattered halfway, not counting Zhang Xianzhong's escape to Hanzhong, there were not many people left. Therefore, she ordered to chase with all her might, and not to give the peasant army a chance to breathe.

The two teams ran all day, and finally they were exhausted, and many of them were about to vomit blood, so after dark, the two sides could no longer run, so they had to camp and rest.

Qin Liang 'Yu' also knew that the soldiers had reached their limit and could not force them to pursue, so she ordered the county town in front to let the guards lead the army out of the city and block the advance of the peasant army, as long as they could block them for half an hour, she could surround Zhang Xianzhong again. （hua.

Zhang Xianzhong and Tang Sai'er also understood that Qin Liang's 'jade' was ruthless and would never give up the pursuit, so they only rested for half the night, then set up camp and walked towards Hanzhong. Qin Liang 'Yu' had already sent people to keep an eye on the peasant army camp, and as soon as he saw them leave, he immediately packed up his men and horses and followed closely behind.

The two sides are no longer fighting, but racing.

There were many people in the peasant army who couldn't run, and Zhang Xianzhong ordered that if anyone couldn't run, the rear team would immediately behead them. Even if you climb, you have to keep up with the group.

As a result, the peasant army ran like crazy, and there were even those who vomited blood and died of exhaustion.

Zhang Xianzhong's efforts were not in vain, and he finally saw a turning point.

This turning point was Li Yan, who urgently dispatched troops from Hanzhong.

Since receiving the holy decree from the King of Qin to send troops, Li Yan took 20,000 horses and horses to hurry day and night, Li Dare walked four or five days earlier than him, and he was a cavalry, and he acted quickly, so Li Yan also ordered the whole army to hurry up and whip up, and not delay along the way.

On the third day after entering Sichuan, Li Yan led his army into the territory of Bazhong. When he was marching, a scout suddenly came to report: "Li Gongzi, dozens of miles ahead, smoke and dust cover the sky, people shout and neigh, I don't know how many people and horses are rushing here." ”

Li Yan was taken aback and asked the red lady: "Didn't the official army come to intercept it?" The red lady nodded: "It is very likely, if we enter Sichuan, no matter how we block the news, it will be known by the officials and soldiers." Li Yan immediately ordered, and the men and horses were grounded and ready to fight.

After a while, the people in front of him were getting closer and closer, and they had already seen the flags clearly, Li Yan looked up and saw that those flags were not from the official army, and when he got closer, he found that the soldiers' clothes were not the official soldiers' uniforms, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and he faintly felt that it might be Zhang Xianzhong's people and horses who came.

As expected, when the two sides were still more than a mile apart, Li Yan found that more than a dozen people in the opposite camp galloped out and ran towards him.

Li Yan ordered the sergeants not to release arrows, and when the dozen or so horsemen came closer, they saw clearly that it was Li Kang who was the leader.

Li Yan was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Big brother, little brother is here." Li Dang laughed: "I have already seen clearly that our Qin army has arrived." ”

He ran to Li Yan and reined in his horse: "Brother, behind me is Zhang Xianzhong's righteous army, which rushed out of the encirclement of Qin Liang's 'jade' and is retreating in the direction of Hanzhong. ”

Li Yan said: "This is the king's urgent order, asking me to enter the Sichuan at night to reinforce my brother." At this time, there is no need to say more, looking at your tired appearance, the official army led by Qin Liang 'Yu' is not much better, I brought 20,000 fresh troops, just to break the enemy. ”

At this time, the brothers saw each other and had the same heart, needless to say, Li Yan ordered the men and horses to spread out on both sides, get out of the way, and let go of Zhang Xianzhong's peasant army.

Zhang Xianzhong came to Li Yan, the two sides bowed their hands, Zhang Xianzhong laughed: "Qin Jun is really a friend, Li Gongzi is here, send charcoal in the snow, and my old Zhang will be reborn immediately." Li Yan said: "The eight kings have worked hard all the way, and they are resting in the back to watch our Qin army break the enemy." ”

Zhang Xianzhong shook his head again and again: "There are many officers and soldiers, and Qin Liang's 'jade' is also a good general. Besides, in the past two or three days, Lao Tzu's people have been chased by the official army so hard, everyone is full of breath in their hearts, and they want to go back and do a guy. Li Gongzi led the army first, I will rest here and come immediately. ”

Li Yan nodded, but when he saw Tang Sai'er at a glance, he couldn't help frowning, and arched his hand: "It turns out that Miss Tang is also here, it's rude." ”

Tang Sai'er looked at Li Yan's side, there were three 'female' generals such as the Red Lady, especially the Red Lady, with a radiant face and a pretty face with 'spring', glanced at Li Yan from time to time, and was jealous in his heart, but it was not easy to say anything at the moment, so he smiled slightly: "Li Gongzi came at the right time, presumably because he was worried about my safety, and rushed from Hanzhong in a hurry. ”

As he spoke, he threw a slight wink, which made Li Yan very embarrassed, so he had to say vaguely: "It's easy to say, the Qin army and the righteous army are in the same breath, regardless of each other, why be polite." ”

The red lady and the other three 'women' will see clearly on the side, Xiaoqing's face was flushed with anger, and she just wanted to say a few prickly words to ironize the past, but she was secretly pulled by the red lady. The red lady naturally understands that this is not the time for the love of sons and daughters, the officers and soldiers of the brigade are behind, and the enemy is present, so it is important to break the officers and troops first.

Tang Sai'er glanced at the three 'female' generals, and saw that they were all tense and didn't say a word, so he laughed a few times and walked over.

Zhang Xianzhong led the army to stop and rest in the back, and Li Dang led his thousands of Qin troops to Li Yan: "Brother, there are more than 40,000 officers and soldiers, and Qin Liang's 'jade' is also a good general in a hundred battles, don't be careless, although you are waiting for work, but after all, you are all the way, don't be careless." ”

Li Yan understood this: "Big brother, don't worry, the official army doesn't know about me leading the army at this time, I am already optimistic about the terrain, give the official army a surprise attack, and I will definitely win in one battle." ”

He was right, a few miles ahead of me was a river bay called Orchid 'Flower' Crossing. The main road was on the edge of the ferry, and it turned a big bend. There is a large dense forest on the side of the road opposite the ferry, the radius is very wide, Li Yan ordered a deputy general to lead 5,000 cavalry, ambush in the dense forest, with the cannon as a letter, rush outward to kill, cut off the road.

Here he led the remaining more than 10,000 men and horses to line up on the main road, blocking the way of the officers and soldiers, and when the officers and troops arrived, they suddenly attacked.

In addition, Li Yan sent 3,000 crossbowmen to ambush on the high slope not far away, and more than 1,000 giant crossbows were aimed at the main road.

Li Yan's 20,000 horses, some of them meet the enemy head-on, some of them attack from afar, and some of them are 'interspersed' in the middle, which is in line with the principle of "winning with the right and winning with the odd" in the art of war.

As soon as the arrangement was completed, the men and horses were in ambush, and the sound of horses' hooves was heard not far away, and the dust was flying, and countless officers and soldiers chased after them.

Qin Liang's 'jade' was in the Chinese army to supervise the battle, and in front was Zeng 'Yu', Zeng 'Yu' because he did not come to reinforce in time in Shizihe, and was suddenly rushed out by Zhang Xianzhong and his men, so he asked Qin Liang 'Yu' for orders and pursued in front.

Zeng 'Yu' has killed many backward peasant soldiers along the way, and his spirit is right, and his men and horses are arrogant, shouting 'chaos', which is indispensable.

When the orchid 'flower' crossed, Zeng 'Yu' felt a trace of strangeness, when the peasant army team ran away, it would raise the dust that rushed to the sky, but at this time it could not be seen, and the neighing of the war horses in the distance could not be heard.

In front of him is a big bend, within the bend is an endless dense forest, naturally you can't see the side of the bend, Zeng 'Yu' ordered the people to slow down a little, around the bend and then say.

In front were more than 4,000 officers and cavalry, and after these people broke through the bend, they found that not far in front of them was stationed a 'fine' army.

There were no more than 10,000 men and horses, in front of them were iron shield soldiers and pikemen to prevent cavalry from attacking, and in the back archers, sword and card players, densely packed, swords and spears were lined up, and the armor was shining, which was very neat.

Zeng 'Yu' looked at the banner of the Chinese army in the opposite formation, and was immediately taken aback, although he had not fought against the Qin army, but as a general, he also knew that the black 'colored' banner in front of him was the symbol of the Qin army.
