As Jia Xu expected, Dong Zhuo led 5,000 men and horses all the way to pursue Zhang Bao's retreat army in the north, but he was suddenly attacked by tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops on the narrow official road.

At this time, it was June, and the Yellow Turban Army lurked in the newly ripe golden wheat fields on both sides of the road, and the yellow turban became the best camouflage color, so that the 5,000 officers and soldiers walked into the ambush circle without realizing it.

It wasn't until the last Han army stepped into the trap that the Yellow Turban Army burst out one after another, shooting out like a rain of locust arrows, and when a few rounds of arrow rain shot the Han Army on their backs, and when they were in a mess, the Yellow Turban Army pulled out their long knives and rushed up, cutting down when they met people, and killing the Han Army into a river of blood. Dong Zhuo was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, but he still fought hard with his wounds, and reluctantly led 2,000 remnants of the army to break out of the encirclement, and the other 3,000 old Hedong troops were all killed on the spot.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Just as the victorious Yellow Turban Army got carried away and began to clean up the battlefield, Lu Zhi's 10,000 troops arrived just in time. The ambusher instantly became the target of others' slaughter, Lu Zhi effortlessly used only a thousand cavalry to break the chaotic formation of the Yellow Turban Army hastily organized, and the Yellow Turban Army densely packed on the official road was simply an excellent arrow target, which made the Han army archers who arrived later ecstatic, and they poured out pieces of arrow rain with great splendor and feet, wantonly harvesting the lives of the Yellow Turban Army.

The hordes of Yellow Turbans had to flee into the roadside wheat fields again, hoping to escape for their lives, but unfortunately, the golden wheat fields seemed to be suitable only for people to lurk in a stationary state. When the deserters thought they had a plan to flee from the wheat field, they once again tragically became a living target for the Han archers to improve their skills.

The archers of the Han army laughed loudly, and when they saw the wheat waves surging in the wheat field, they shot an arrow, and if they didn't hit, it didn't matter, people couldn't run fast in the fields! The second and third arrows will keep knocking him down. Even if they ran out of range, some of the cavalry had already made a detour to the far side of the wheat field, and they would chase back those fish that had slipped through the net like rabbits.

The archers even began to bet that they had pressed down on the small pockets of money by shooting down the enemy within a few arrows. In the end, the guards trotted all the way, waving the leather whips in their hands fiercely, beating these veterans to a bruised nose and swollen face, and this dishonorable incident of maliciously abusing and killing the enemy finally came to an end.

In addition to more than 1,000 of the 10,000 Yellow Turban Army, nearly 9,000 fell on the official road in a short section, and many more people will become fertilizer in the fields in the coming year if no one collects their bodies.

In the face of the final defeat of the deputy general Dong Zhuo, Lu Zhi finally broke out the strong prestige of the main general, he mercilessly denounced Dong Zhuo's incompetence in front of the generals, and announced that the temporary promotion of Ying Yang Captain Nan Ying as the deputy general, led the cavalry under the captain of Yue Cai and the Hu cavalry under the command of Captain Changshui, a total of 6,000 cavalry, and immediately pursued Zhang Bao's army. He led 20,000 infantry and followed. At the same time, he ordered Gao Shun to temporarily lead the city of Ganling to defend it, and continue to lead the original 3,000 soldiers and horses to defend it. In fact, he didn't know that the defenders of Ganling City had reached 5,000, and another 2,000 men and horses, led by Gao Sheng, had been stationed at the dock wall of Xiu County.

Nan Ying looked at Lu Zhi's look like a watery face and Dong Zhuo's embarrassed and angry face, and sighed secretly in his heart. Dong Zhuo is destined to be kicked out, and the road to conquer the Yellow Turban Army is still a long way to go, and now this responsibility has been heavily weighed on his shoulders. Of course, there is no room for the confrontation between himself and Dong Zhuo, from now on, he will be the number one enemy of the Eagle's Nest in addition to Zhang Jiao and the Huiren family!

When he saw Gao Shun calmly stepped forward to receive the order, his heart was relieved again, the five hundred soldiers who attacked Ganling could finally stay, and they no longer had to follow themselves to face the swords and swords in front of him, which was not only a consolation for their heroic battle, but also left some more seeds for the eagle's nest in the future!

Nanying smiled with relief, not only these five hundred soldiers, but even the more than 4,000 soldiers in Ganling are gradually growing into trustworthy subordinates under the training of Pei Yuanshao, Gao Sheng, Gao Feng and others, because he has brought them what they have been lacking, that is, what he said to Zheng Lian: Hope!

The sound of violent and dense horses' hooves sounded like rolling thunder over the vast plains, and the black cloud-like cavalry swept over the sky with terrifying sound.

The Southern Eagle is stationed on a low slope, and his heart is full of pride, six thousand cavalry! Since I came to this era, I have never seen such a huge cavalry group, and only in my dreams can I enjoy the supreme glory of commanding thousands of troops and horses!

However, he also has a heaviness in his heart, Lu Zhi's courage is really extraordinary, the six thousand cavalry is almost all the cavalry in the Han army on the North Road, and all of them were handed over to Nanying in order to settle the battle in a battle! This is simply to put the fate of the entire Northern Route Army into the hands of the Southern Eagle, no matter how perfect the layout of Jia Yi and Lu Zhi is, but if the Southern Eagles are defeated, the Northern Route Army still has only one way to fall.

A loud eagle chirped in the sky. Nanying looked up with great joy, and sure enough, he saw a harrier eagle circling down, and he couldn't help laughing: "Great! Finally received a message from Yang Kun! ”

“…… At present, it has passed the mountain and is moving rapidly towards Luancheng, and it will definitely live up to its mission and find an ambush place for the Yellow Turban Army! Above! Ma Jun rolled up the white silk in his hand and said, "It's gone!" Brother Yang was also desperate, and he ran two hundred miles in one day! ”

When the southern eagle came out of the eagle's nest, he brought a total of five Tianyan warriors and five harrier eagles for communication purposes. Before, there were enough people, but now they are not enough. Luoyang, Ganling and Xiuxian must all keep people, Jia Xu also has one person by his side, and only the last Tianyan warrior is left by Nanying's side!

Nanying smiled bitterly, fortunately, Yang Kun himself didn't need to be a Tianyan warrior, otherwise it would be really troublesome!

He pondered for a moment and said, "Where is the position of our army?" ”

Ma Jun immediately said: "At present, our army has crossed the Jingxian County of Anping Kingdom, and then it is located in the south of Juluze, which is located directly east? County! Then two hundred and fifty miles to the northwest is Luancheng! ”

"Jushizawa?" Nanying was stunned, "What place?" ”

"It's Continental Ze!" Ma Jun said with a smile, "Hebei people like to call Juluze!" ”

"Oh!" Nan Ying replied casually, his brows furrowed: "Why have you been running for more than a day, and there are still two hundred and fifty miles?" We're cavalry! And the terrain here is flat, which is just right for cavalry sports! ”

Ma Jun coughed, his gaze sweeping over his feet.

Nan Ying suddenly led his cronies out of the brigade, so he naturally didn't worry about outsiders finding the horses under his feet, but in this way, the speed of the Han cavalry was not satisfactory!

"So! Where are the main forces of Zhang Bao's army and General Lu? He looked down and pondered for a moment before saying, "Ben would have liked to know the exact location!" ”

Ma Jun thought for a while and said: "Zhang Bao and the main force of our army are both infantry troops, according to the analysis of the fastest marching speed of the last general, Zhang Bao should have passed Ren County, and General Lu has just passed Julu, and the distance between the two armies is at least a hundred miles!" ”

"The speed of the infantry march is about fifty miles a day, so there are two days between them!" Nanying bowed his head and silently calculated, "Zhang Bao will arrive in Luancheng for at least three days, and the main force of our army will be five days!" ”

"In other words, we only have three days to complete the mission! Time is tight! His brows furrowed, "Although our army is cavalry, it only takes two days at most to reach Luancheng, but if you want to complete the search for the lurking enemy in one day, and then defeat it, and then intercept Zhang Bao's army going north, and hold on until General Lu arrives to form an upward and downward attack, this is almost an impossible task!" ”

"Your Excellency is very worried!" Ma Jun said distressedly, "The last general has also heard some things just now, and it seems that the soldiers in the army also feel the arduousness of the task, so the morale is a little low, and even the generals are a little uncertain!" ”

"Herald! The army rests for a while! Nanying shouted, "Gather all the generals here, Ben will have something to say!" ”

"Captain Nan, the situation in our army is not optimistic!" Wu Huan was the first to speak, "Even if our army ignores the damage of the war horses, the cavalry can't stand it!" Moreover, our army will attack from a long distance, and its combat strength will inevitably be affected, even if the enemy's ambush is immediately found, can it be won? We don't even know where they are ambushing or how many of them there are! ”

The generals also talked about it, and they all looked a little lacking in confidence. Lian Hou Chengdu said: "Lord Captain, if our army barely found the enemy ambush and was in the midst of a fierce battle, but Zhang Bao's army suddenly arrived, then it was not us who flanked them, but were surrounded by them!" ”

Nan Ying finally spoke, his tone full of strong confidence: "Don't worry! Looking for the enemy's ambush, the general had already taken countermeasures, and now the advance team sent by the general should have secretly come to the Luancheng area! ”

All the generals were surprised together: "When will the captain send out the scouts?" The last general and the others didn't even know it! ”

"Scout?" Nan Ying smiled, "You must have underestimated the general, how could you send ordinary scouts to find the enemy army quickly?" Ben will send an unprecedented force, and of course it must be kept secret now! ”

He let out bold words in his mouth, but he really had some bottom in his heart. Can Yang Kun lead the black tiger to arrive in time, and can he find the ambush in time? It's a pity that now I have no choice but to trust my brother! Otherwise, if even you show hesitation and hesitation, your subordinates will be even more emotional!

Sure enough, his strong self-confidence infected the generals, and Wu Huan's eyes lit up and said: "Captain Nan has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and he is even better at turning the impossible into a possibility!" I believe that there is no need to say more, you have already understood! Since he said so, there must be no problem. ”

The generals also nodded one after another, even the most arrogant people had to admit that this captain Nan was indeed extraordinary! The battle of Neihuang was fought with 3,000 against 30,000; The battle of Ganling was even more than 500 and 20,000! This is something that only a madman would dare to do! What's even crazier is that he won it all! Once is a coincidence, and twice it will silence everyone who is talking.

"So, we only have one problem left at the moment!" Nanying said solemnly, "How to get to Luancheng in the fastest time!" Captain Wu's words are actually what this general means! Our army is on an expedition, and when we arrive in Luancheng, of course, we are exhausted, so we must arrive early to win enough rest time for the soldiers! ”

"Take advantage of the time to recuperate!" He said confidently, "I believe that our army has made contact with the scouts sent before and found out the reality of the enemy's ambush!" At that time, it was the time when our army launched a thunderous blow! After that, Ben will consider how to intercept Zhang Bao! ”

All the generals fell silent together, and Hou Cheng's newborn calf couldn't hide his words, and couldn't help but shout: "My lord! The last general thinks that it will take a day and a half to reach Luancheng at the earliest! No matter how fast it is, it is absolutely impossible! ”

"Nope! Absolutely! Nan Ying said slowly, "With that thing, you can do it!" ”

Among the generals present, only Dian Wei, Pei Yuanshao, Ma Jun and Hou Cheng knew the meaning of Nanying's words, and the four of them were shocked together, revealing their eyes in disbelief.

Nan Ying's eyes flashed with a hint of determination, and his gaze swept over the generals: "Don't hide it from you!" Ben did have some small gadgets, which were enough to greatly improve the endurance and combat power of the cavalry. Before, the general had selfishness in his heart, and he had been hiding it and didn't want to show it! Now, it's time to make it public! ”

Ma Jun ignored the stunned looks of Wu Huan and the other generals, and shouted: "My lord! You, how can you do that! Do you know how important that thing is? ”

"No!" Nan Ying smiled bitterly, "I once said that the most important thing in the world is human life, especially your own life!" I can't watch my brothers die with me! ”

Ma Jun stayed on the spot, speechless.

Nan Ying pointed casually and said to the Sima: "You! Ride the general's mount and give it a try! Ma Jun go help him! ”

The high-nosed and deep-eyed man was the Hu man Sima under the command of Captain Changshui, he stepped forward in astonishment, and according to Ma Jun's guidance, he stepped on the simple horse and stepped on the horse's back. In front of everyone's eyes, he rode his horse for a few steps, and suddenly his face changed, and he blurted out: "My mother! ”

Then he clamped his legs, and the horse galloped away. After galloping a few large laps nearby, the general rode back.

He quickly jumped off his horse, knelt down on one knee to Nanying, and said, "Lord Captain, the last general has obeyed you!" Will such a precious thing be given to us? ”

Nanying smiled: "What do you call a general?" ”

The general raised his head, and a look of respect flashed in his eyes: "The last will be Karasuma Kulchi!" Now he is a subordinate of the captain of Changshui! ”

Nan Ying nodded and said, "Since the general is a Karasuma man, there is naturally no need to say much about the essence of horsemanship, what do you think of this gadget called horse pedaling?" ”

Hulechi said sincerely: "If you have this horse, you will be confident that you can reach Luancheng within a day, and you will save more physical strength than the original one and a half days!" ”

"Half a day saved!" Nan Ying admired, "Half a day is enough time for the soldiers to recover their strength!" ”

Wu Huan is also a master of horsemanship, of course, when he heard what Hulechi meant, he couldn't help but be shocked: "Is it really so magical?" ”

Hulechi didn't answer him, looked at Nan Ying tightly and said, "Lord Captain, there will be a lot of soldiers, so they will survive!" ”

Nan Ying waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, immediately order all the soldiers to form a horse pedal style with a long rope or cloth belt, let us speak with facts!" ”

Ma Jun said in an inaudible voice behind him: "Lord, this horse pedal is just fine!" But you don't want to cheat my baby in the future! ”

Nan Ying turned around, patted him on the shoulder and said, "A man's heart can't be so narrow-minded!" ”

Six thousand warriors boiled over, they were all elite cavalrymen, and they immediately felt the incomparably strong shock brought to them by the horse pedals. After a period of commotion, the army resumed its long journey.

Completely different from the previous fatigue and suspicion, all the soldiers learned the origin of the horseshoe from the mouths of the officers, their hearts were full of gratitude, their blood began to burn, with such a general command, we will definitely win! Because this general is not only a brave general who wins all battles, but also a generous general who loves soldiers like a son!

When the rows of cavalry rode past the low slope, they would bury their heads deeply and give the most solemn military salute to the statue of the mighty general standing on the horse on the slope, and he brought hope to the soldiers again.

And the general's courtesy to the soldiers always returns the salute with the most impeccable way!

His eyes were fixed on the cavalrymen, but his arms were pointing in the direction of the march, and every warrior seemed to hear their general silently shouting: Soldiers! Charge! Drive the lightning and move forward bravely!
