Zhang Liang casually took a few stones and a rattan stick, and laid out a simple terrain on the ground. Although Bian Xi was the leader of the marching army, Zhang Liuzhi also came to the meeting in the name of Bian Xiqu's personal entourage. After only glancing at the terrain laid out by Zhang Liang, Bian Xi couldn't help but take a cool breath.

Even if Zhang Luo is not as sensitive to the terrain as Bian Xi, he has also come all the way, and this simple thing that cannot be called a sand table completely marks the topographical features near Guangzong.

This was a military plan to lure the enemy into the depths, Zhang Liang wanted to lure Dong Zhuo's army into the encirclement of Taiping Dao, and wipe out the Han army in the valley.

At this time, if the pursuing troops of the Han army could not be annihilated in the field battle, there would be only one dead end in the Taiping Road. Zhang Luo is very clear about this, and in fact, Zhang Luo himself has made similar suggestions. But when the rear team was annihilated, Zhang Luo found that he was actually unable to come up with such a countermeasure immediately, and his first thought was to quickly strengthen the defense to prevent greater losses.

Even after listening to Zhang Liang's plan, Zhang Luo was still not sure whether the Han army would fall for it. But Zhang Liang's decisive disposition, as well as the backbone of the decisive counterattack, Zhang Luo asked himself, he himself is far inferior.

Ambushes were arranged according to the terrain, and Zhang Liangqing shouted loudly: "Zhang Xiaoqu is handsome on the plain!" ”

Hearing Zhang Liang's call, Zhang slightly straightened his waist and stepped forward, arching his hand and saying, "My subordinates are here!" ”

Zhang Liang's expression was grim, "Your brother still has the strength to march now, I order you to go out now, go around to the mouth of the Zhanghe River valley, as long as the Han army begins to retreat from the valley, you will kill down the mountain and try your best to block the retreat of the Han army!" ”

This order surprised Zhang Luo, not only Zhang Luo, but also Zhang Bao, Zhang Niujiao, and Zhang Baiqi's generals all changed their faces slightly. Zhang Luo doesn't have many subordinates, and letting such a small number of people block the mouth of the river valley is really a bit of an egg hitting a stone.

"Qiyu Rengong, there are only 600 people under him, and it may be possible to block the valley mouth, but it is impossible to block the valley mouth." Zhang Luo didn't talk nonsense, and directly explained his current situation.

Zhang Liang replied with a cold face: "I'll add four more tuns to you!" As long as you try your best to block the valley, you don't want to block the valley. In this battle, the armies advanced and did not retreat, and the Han army was bound to be defeated after entering the valley. As long as there is a Han army that can attack Taniguchi, they will not be able to stand in Taniguchi, and at that time, our army will cover the past, and the Han army can only flee. I think I can do this kind of thing, and I should be able to send you there. ”

Zhang Luo suddenly found that Zhang Liang was quite military-minded, and it seemed that this was practiced by fighting with the Han army. In his order, the first sentence was to make sure that his troops were the ones among the armies that still had the ability to march, and in this regard, it can be said that Zhang Liang was extremely observant and knew people well.

It was pointless to say any more, and Zhang Luo responded loudly: "Obey the general's order!" ”

As soon as he returned to his subordinates, Zhang Luo immediately issued a marching order. All the bedding in the marching backpack was given to four or five left-behind personnel to take care of, and the troops wore straw hats for concealment. The first to come out was naturally the marching army to lead Bian Xi, just before leaving, Bian Xi couldn't help but say with palpitations: "Rengong looks like this is scared to death!" ”

Whether it is scary or not, Zhang Luo doesn't know, anyway, he knows that this battle is either the end of the pursuing Han army or the end of the Yellow Turban Army. said that it was to block the entrance of the valley, but in fact, I was afraid that Zhang Liang's other purpose was that if Taiping Dao was defeated, let Zhang Luo find a way to drag the enemy at the entrance of the valley and prevent them from participating in the pursuit.

But Zhang Luo didn't care anymore, anyway, he remembered that the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" and "Book of the Later Han" all said that the "Battle of Guangzong" commanded by Dong Zhuo was the defeat of the Han army, so it must have been Zhang Liang's victory. And if there is a butterfly effect because of his own appearance, then after the failure of Taiping Dao, Zhang Luo will not have any good results.

In the mobilization before leaving, Zhang Luo first introduced the situation, and then raised his arms and shouted: "At this time, if I don't fight to the death, the only way left is to be killed!" Kill one is enough, kill two and earn one! Brothers, follow me to kill the Han army! ”

The brothers were actually aware of the situation they were facing, and none of the six hundred people hesitated, and they all raised their arms and responded: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

At this time, the four additional tun 400 people also arrived:

"Duan Rui!"

"Feng Zhang!"

"Cao Kun!"

"Wu Pei!"

"You are the reserves!" Due to the tight war, Zhang Luo didn't have time to say polite words politely, and gave the order directly.

"No!"

The four of them obeyed the order in unison.

No matter how excited the emotions were, no matter how urgent the orders were, the march and battle naturally had to be carried out according to the training that had been held for more than a month. Before dark, Bian Xi had already sent someone back to inform him that the route of the march had been determined, but the ambush position had not yet been found. Zhang Luo didn't wait much, and directly ordered the troops to go out.

Galloping all the way, the troops finally arrived near the entrance to the Zhanghe valley before dawn. Bian Xi finally settled on the ambush position, which was a col near the entrance to the river valley. If you deploy scouts, you can reach the entrance in half an hour at most.

Zhang looked at the terrain slightly, this place is directly above the entrance of the valley, but he is afraid that the Han army will not let it go. If the Han army deploys a team of men and horses here, when Zhang Luo and the others rush out, they will first encounter the Han army here.

"Is there an alternative place behind the Han army?" Zhang Luo asked Bian Xi.

Bian Xi's face changed slightly, and he paused for a moment before he said, "There is one." ”

The second position is much better, after four or five miles of rugged mountain roads, the exit goes straight to the diagonal rear of the Han army, which is an excellent place to block the attack. But Zhang Luo also understood the reason why Bian Xi was embarrassed. If Zhang Luo suddenly rushed here when the Han army was defeated and retreated, the defeated Han army would have only one choice to fight to the death with Zhang Luo. Stuck in the retreat of the Han army, if Zhang Luo does not die, the Han army will die.

"It's a great place!" Zhang Luo said loudly.

The fog grew heavier and heavier, and the people who were close at hand couldn't even see each other clearly, let alone in the distance. The sky gradually brightened, and the fog only lightened a little.

"It seems that there is no need to worry about the Han army appearing with us." Bian Xi said in a low voice.

Bian Xi would not have chosen to send out a reconnaissance post several miles away in such weather. Not to mention how to present the enemy a mile away, even if it is, it is very difficult to run out a few miles in this fog to report the news. At this time, I could hear the sound of the Han army marching in the distance, even if the fog was light, it was hazy a few miles away, and I couldn't see anything at all. The sound of marching, the noise, and the various echoes make it impossible to tell how many Han troops there were.

At 10 a.m., the march of the Han army finally ended, but at this time it suddenly began to rain. The rain dispelled a lot of fog, but in the distance, there was a thick layer of rain in the distance, and there was nothing to be seen.

Zhang Luo's troops hid in a recess under a cliff, and the battle was about to begin, and the sergeants either wiped their spears or took out the bowstrings tightly wrapped in cloth and adjusted them.

The sky was brighter, and Zhang briefly estimated that it was about ten to twelve o'clock in the morning, and suddenly he heard a huge sound from the other side of the river valley, a huge dull and continuous sound, and when I heard it carefully, it seemed to be the sound of countless shouts, swords, and convergence.

"It's a fight!" After Pei Yuanshao said this, Teng stood up.

Zhang Luo gave an order, "Hurry up and pack up, get ready to go out at any time!" ”

After speaking, he also stood by the rain curtain and listened quietly. Like thunder, like the tide of the sea, the valley reverberated with an indescribable sound. Listening carefully, the sound lasted for a while, and then became clearer and clearer, and it was actually surging in the direction of Xia Quyang.

At this time, the commander and the captains had already ordered the sergeants to put away their equipment, Zhang glanced at his subordinates, and ordered: "When it's time to go into battle, brothers, follow me!" ”

Five or six miles, Zhang Luo and they walked in the rain for a while.

Bian Xi was only worried that Zhang Luo would pull his brothers to block the retreat of the Han army, but he didn't expect Zhang Luo to go straight to the back of the Han army, but went in the direction of moving away from the Han army. At this time, the rain was still very heavy, although there were still three or four miles away from the Han army, Bian Xi could only see the shadow of the Han army vaguely. The attention of the Han army was obviously focused on the direction of Xia Quyang, and they didn't even notice that a group of guys wearing robes and straw hats were quietly moving behind them.

Zhang Luo finally climbed a small slope, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. There is a half-person deep ravine between the small slope and the official road, and the distance in a straight line is more than 40 steps. Zhang Luo divided the two hundred archers into four lines on the small slope. The sword and shield men are in front, and the pikemen are behind the bow and arrow.
