Zhang Guoxing, nicknamed "Three Harriers", can get this number, one is as fierce as a harrier, and the other is as cunning as a harrier. When you are a rogue, being able to fight is not the most important thing, but being able to run is the primary ability. The rangers that Zhang Guoxing scattered were actually one step ahead of Ma Yuanli to detect the Zhao battalion soldiers who were advancing rapidly, but he only cared about himself and did not inform Ma Yuanli, and he more or less had the intention of kicking Ma Yuanli out as a shield.

Zhang Guoxing's station was not far from Ma Yuanli, in order not to arouse Ma Yuanli's vigilance, he quietly left and deliberately abandoned some horses scattered in the camp, and scratched the horse's buttocks with the tip of a knife, so that the horses were in pain, and galloped back and forth in the camp to make a noise, which could create the illusion that his department was still there.

Zhang Guoxing, who broke away from Ma Yuanli, only wanted to return to Zhang Xianzhong, but Zhao Yinglai came from the east and west, and there was no way to go from the high mountains in the south, so he could only lead his troops to the north. Although the north side is also a series of mountains, there are some mountain roads that meander in the meantime, first hide in them, go around for a while, and you can always go around Fang County.

After half a day of busy work, Zhang Guoxing slipped away, Zhao Dangshi was furious, and at this time, some people fled from the north to confess Zhang Guoxing's whereabouts, Han Gon immediately asked for his life, and led Feijie to pursue the left battalion. Walking a hundred miles can't be half ninety, Zhao Dangshi has no reason not to agree. In terms of combat power, the Feijie Left Battalion is no less than the West Battalion Elite Cavalry, and the number is superior, and the chances of winning are great in pursuit of Zhang Guoxing, who fled in a hurry.

The Ma army will be released, but Yang Zhaofeng, who is the counselor and overseer, stepped forward and asked to be the vanguard. It stands to reason that Yang Zhaofeng is subordinate to the Unified Inspection Institute, which is completely different from the Soldiers and Horses Unified Yuan, and should not lead troops across duties. However, Yang Zhaofeng has been in the Feijie Left Battalion for a long time, and the generals in the battalion have a very personal relationship with him, and he is almost no different from the generals in the battalion. And Yang Zhaofeng had been killed in battle, and he had sufficient combat experience, and Han Gon knew the reason for his request, so he pushed the boat down the river and temporarily appointed him as the vanguard, assisted by Meng Aocao, and led seven hundred horsemen to chase first. Hao Mingluan, who was with the army, heard the news, and regardless of dissuasion, he said that he would go with Yang Zhaofeng. He is excellent in martial arts, Han Gon is not worried, and after a few persuasions to no avail, he will give up.

Yang Zhaofeng led 700 horsemen to the north of 20 miles, and arrived at a place called "Lan Jing'an Township". From the mouths of people running along the way, not long ago, hundreds of soldiers and horses poured into the fields in the south of the township to make trouble, and it sounded like Zhang Guoxing's department.

Lan Jing'an has five miles under the jurisdiction of the countryside, and the sandwich field is the big village of the township, the soil is fertile and the people are abundant, and it is relatively wealthy. The land to the east is slightly flat, while the west is mountainous. It is built on the mountain.

According to the rough description of the people who escaped, Yang Zhaofeng learned the location of Zhang Guoxing's department. While ordering the soldiers to advance in order, he sent people to report Han Gon's situation.

As they gradually entered the hinterland of the sandwich field, Yang Zhaofeng and the others could clearly hear the shouting and killing sound not far away, and when they raised their eyes, the smoke was billowing out, thinking that the soldiers and horses of the West Battalion were setting fire everywhere. More and more people appeared in front of Yang Zhaofeng and others, and they fled in groups, many of them covered in blood, supported or carried by others. As soon as these people saw Yang Zhaofeng's team erecting official and military flags, they gathered from all sides as if they had grasped a life-saving straw.

Yang Zhaofeng searched for a few people, first asked the location and number of soldiers and horses in the West Camp, and got more detailed information: about 500 soldiers and horses in the West Camp fled from the south and were looting in the middle. When asked again, the people said that they had never seen other large groups of Xiying soldiers and horses, and it seemed that there was only one Xiying soldier and horse in the field, Zhang Guoxing.

Meng Aocao came to Yang Zhaofeng and said: "Join the army, the soldiers and horses of the Xiying are now busy looting, and the defense will inevitably be lax, it is better to kill at this time and catch him off guard!" ”

Yang Zhaofeng stared at the beacon smoke not far away, shook his head and said, "No!" Although the soldiers and horses of the Xiying are robbing the township, Zhang Guoxing is frightened, how can he not be vigilant. The terrain here is long and narrow, between two mountains, and if we rush in, we are likely to be attacked by ambushes. ”

"Ambush?" Meng Aocao was stunned for a moment, "The remnants of the defeated generals still want to bite back?" ”

"You will only advance and not retreat, not a good general. Zhang Guoxing has been by Zhang Xianzhong's side for a long time, and this truth should still be understood. Yang Zhaofeng said to Meng Aocao, "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, you first send five capable brothers to find out the situation after going around from the side road to the inside." ”

Meng Ao Cao promised that after picking people in the team, Yang Zhaofeng ordered everyone to hide temporarily, and asked the people to hide to the southwest for the time being. Meng Aocao took the lead, led five people around the periphery of the village, quietly touched the back mountain, and climbed up the mountain relying on the concealment of grass and trees. When I opened the grass and looked closely, I saw that there were about three or four hundred men gathered on the flat ground between the grasses, all of whom were fully armoured and sat on the ground to rest. Each had a sword in his hand and seemed ready to go into battle at any moment. A strong man sitting under the tree is particularly conspicuous, this person is dressed differently from others, wearing mountain armor, with a long lance beside him, and a waist knife hanging from his waist, full of reckless temperament.

"Thief Zhang Guoxing." Meng Aocao recognized him and nodded secretly.

At the same time, Yang Zhaofeng and his soldiers hid behind a small dirt slope and waited for Meng Aocao and them to return. Han Gon had already received a report from Yang Zhaofeng and was moving farther away. Although he wanted Yang Zhaofeng to swear that he would get Zhang Guoxing back, he didn't want anything to go wrong, so he sent Hu Keshou to lead 200 horsemen to hide not far from Yang Zhaofeng's location, waiting for answers.

"Join the army! There is a case! One of the soldiers in charge of watching suddenly reported.

Yang Zhaofeng walked up to the soldier, followed his direction, and found that two horsemen were holding sabers and were slowly galloping towards him.

Looking at the appearance, these two should be the soldiers and horses of the Xiying who were sent out to inspect, Hao Mingluan asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang, do it?" ”

Yang Zhaofeng asked in a low voice, "Can you shoot it?" "The hiding place of Yang Zhaofeng and the others is not far from the soldiers and horses of the Xiying, if the two horsemen run away with a single blow, the whereabouts of their own army will be exposed, which is contrary to the plan that Yang Zhaofeng wants to carry out next.

"Well said!" Hao Mingluan patted his chest and said confidently, "A gentleman has six arts, and archery is one." To tell the truth, compared to marksmanship, he is better at archery. As he spoke, he took a short-tip bow from the soldier's hand, which was stiffer and faster to fire than the softly pulled long-tip bow.

Yang Zhaofeng sighed: "Brother Hao's all-round talent in civil and military affairs is really a masterpiece in the world!" ”

Yang Zhaofeng does not doubt Hao Mingluan's ability, but he still has to be steady. At that moment, he beckoned ten crossbowmen to step forward and draw their bows and shoot with Hao Mingluan.

When the two Xiying soldiers and horses approached, Yang Zhaofeng gave an order, and Hao Mingluan and other eleven people got up and released arrows at the same time. Seeing that the situation was not good, the two soldiers and horses of the western camp were about to leave, but the arrows suddenly came, and both of them were hit by arrows at the same time and fell off their horses. One of them was not injured, he struggled on the ground, and was about to flee towards Lifang, Hao Mingluan didn't say a word, he raised his hand and shot another arrow, which hit the man in the back. The man staggered two more steps and fell to the ground.

The blow was successful, Yang Zhaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, and the team continued to lurk. Not long after, Meng Aocao and the others came back, and they came and went smoothly, without encountering any obstacles, and they were not noticed by the soldiers and horses of the Xiying.

Meng Aocao wiped his sweat and said: "Join the army, what you said is right, there is indeed an ambush on the back mountain." ”

"How many?"

"At least three or four hundred."

There are 100 people in the Li Fang and 3 or 400 people on the mountain, if the treacherous plan of the Xiying soldiers and horses to ambush succeeds, Yang Zhaofeng's troops, who do not have an absolute advantage in troops, may not be able to swallow Zhang Guoxing's troops as they wish.

"Zhang Guoxing is sophisticated and cunning, and the Four Tigers of Xiying really have some tricks." Yang Zhaofeng thought about it, and quickly came back to his senses, and said to Meng Aocao again, "Old Meng, bother you again, go to the team behind you, and ask them to advance to Lifang." ”

The "team behind" refers to the two hundred horsemen sent by Han Gon to pick up Yang Zhaofeng.

"Let's just say that there are not many soldiers and horses in the West Battalion in Lifang. Let him move forward with confidence. Yang Zhaofeng expected that he was not very familiar with Hu Keshou, and Hu Keshou was responsible for covering this battle, and he couldn't get the first credit, and his enthusiasm was estimated to be insufficient, so he said.

Meng Aocao was obligated to take the order and left, and after a while, he saw that Hu Keshou's department, which had stopped not far behind, began to act.

Meng Aocao came back first, and Hu Keshou immediately led people through Yang Zhaofeng's department. When the two passed by, Hu Keshou turned his head to look at Yang Zhaofeng, his expression was very intriguing, as if he was puzzled and a little disdainful.

Yang Zhaofeng didn't have time to care about these details, and ordered his soldiers to make a detour to the south.

The soldiers saw that Hu Keshou's people were passing by one after another, and they were about to attack Lifang, and they thought they could follow the attack, but they received a roundabout order, although they did not understand their intentions, but the military life was difficult to disobey, and they could only watch Hu Keshou's people gradually move to Lifang.

Yang Zhaofeng led his troops into a pine forest, shuttled through the pine forest, and quietly detoured to the mountain forest behind Lifang with the help of the cover of the forest. Halfway through, everyone could clearly hear the sound of battle coming from the side of the village, and the sound of blades colliding and fighting were mixed together, which was extremely noisy.

At this time, Han Gon, who received the news from Hu Ke, led the remaining hundred horsemen to move quickly in Chaolifang, and when he passed the small dirt slope where Yang Zhaofeng's troops had stopped before, Yang Zhaofeng's men and horses had already disappeared into the woods. Han Gon didn't see Yang Zhaofeng's department, but said that he and Hu Keshou entered the Li Fang together, and after a little rectification on the periphery of the Li Fang, he also led his troops to enter one after another.

Yang Zhaofeng made a detour towards the back mountain, while observing the movement on the back mountain, only to see that the back mountain was calm, and the main force of the soldiers and horses in the west camp was still standing still. Thinking about it, at this time, the soldiers and horses of the Xiying camp also judged that Hu Keshou's troops were not the main force, so they had to wait for Han Gon to lead the main force into Lifang, and then a tiger would come down the mountain to wipe out the main force of the Zhao camp. Zhang Guoxing's good fighting can be seen.

After about half an hour, the main force of Han Gon's department also disappeared in the roof tiles of Lifang, Yang Zhaofeng looked up at the back mountain again, at this time, there were frightened birds flying out of the back mountain from time to time, it seems that the main force of the soldiers and horses in the west camp could not sit still, and had begun to descend the mountain.

If Han Gon's main force was defeated and then arrived, it would be meaningless, seeing that it was already very close to the back mountain, Yang Zhaofeng simply ordered the whole army to go out of the woods, and take the road straight to the back of Lifang. In this way, the whereabouts of Yang Zhaofeng's troops are likely to be detected by the soldiers and horses of the Xiying, but Yang Zhaofeng just wants to gamble, he thinks that the soldiers and horses of the Xiying are descending the mountain at this time, and they are also at the most critical juncture, and they may not be able to find their own troops.

Look at Han Gon again, and lead a hundred horsemen to rush into the village. At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Xiying in Lifang were fighting fiercely with Hu Keshou's troops. Hu Keshou has 200 horsemen, and there is a certain advantage in the number of these hundreds of soldiers and horses in the western camp, after the initial stalemate and fierce battle, Hu Keshou's troops gradually suppressed these western battalion soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses of the western camp that were originally scattered in the square gradually gathered in the northwest corner. And then the arrival of Han Gon made the situation in Lifang completely one-sided. He took the lead in leaping on horseback, and sent a hundred people on the left and right to outflank the soldiers and horses of the western battalion, trying to surround the soldiers and horses of the western battalion, not missing a single one, and annihilating them all in one fell swoop.
