As more and more people shouted surrender, the voices of the soldiers of the Huashan Army also reached the river valley. After hearing the request, the Liangzhou soldiers below threw down the weapons in their hands and ran to the valley mouth to line up. Seeing this scene, Zhang Yao couldn't help but feel like ashes, and the last bit of stubbornness in his heart disappeared completely. Under the persuasion of the kingdom, he had no choice but to follow everyone towards the valley mouth.

Although this ambush battle had only been fought for less than half an hour, it ended very quickly. But due to the difference in strength between the two sides, it was a one-sided battle. Although it was not a long time, the Liangzhou soldiers suffered heavy casualties, while the Huashan army did not have a single casualty.

Deng Qiang saw that the enemy troops had already arrived at the valley mouth and waited for arrangements, so he carefully inspected it and found that there was no problem, so he led people down the mountain to the outside of the valley mouth. He ordered men to lie in ambush on both sides of the valley with bows and arrows, and aimed at the people who were leaving the valley.

Then, he ordered someone to slowly move the things in Taniguchi, but the opening was not large, and it could only accommodate one person in and out.

"If you want to surrender, come out immediately, dare to have any stubborn resistance, don't blame us for being polite!" Deng Qiang shouted to the people inside.

It's already like this, where do the people inside dare to say anything, they all honestly walked out of the river valley. Then, in the open space outside the valley, the Huashan army had already formed a circle, temporarily surrounding these surrenderers, waiting for the next arrangement.

At this time, Sun Tie came down from the other side, and it can be said that he cleaned up the river valley so as not to have any fish that slipped through the net. After all the people inside had already come out, he walked out of the valley with the men and horses.

"General Deng, what's the situation? How many people surrendered here? After the two met, Sun Tie asked.

"It's not much, it's about 900 people. Many of them are still wounded! The wounded in the valley have not been calculated, and it is estimated that there are quite a few of them, so what does General Sun think we should do? Deng Qiang replied in a low voice.

"To put it mildly, if we were to act like ours, for the sake of secrecy, none of these people would survive. But our Huashan Army is different from other forces, and we can't do anything to kill prisoners. So, since these people have surrendered, let it stay! Send someone to contact Peng Lin and ask him to send cavalry up and take these prisoners away! It doesn't matter if it's in the county seat of Yuanwei, or if it's sent to another place, we don't care! We'll have to get to the next place as soon as possible! Sun Tie pondered for a while before he said.

In this era, there are many ways to deal with the defeated. It is not uncommon for someone not to stay at this time. After many battles, even if those who are defeated surrender, they often end up with death.

At the beginning, Li Xin had already strictly forbade this practice. He considered that he needed these people to expand the strength of his army, and at the same time, he could also build a good reputation, which would be of great help to his future battles.

"Okay, I'll send someone back to inform you immediately! In addition, in order not to let the enemy find out about the problem in the valley, I think it is better for them to take the wounded here with them, and as for the corpses of the enemy soldiers, bury them on the spot! Deng Qiang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, but added two points.

"You can do it! I will first lead people to the other side of the valley to find out the situation, so as not to be discovered by Zhang Ju's army! By the way, don't forget to bring the talisman arrows in their hands, we may be able to use them later! Sun Tie said, and then took a small group of people to leave first.

On the county side of Yuanwei, after a period of rest, everyone has recovered. Estimating that Deng Qiang's battle should be about to end, Peng Lin also sent his cavalry and began to advance northwest along the mountain range, responsible for monitoring the various mountain passes in case Zhang Ju's army jumped over the wall in a hurry.

It was precisely because of this that the messenger sent by Deng Qiang set off not long after he met this group of cavalry. Soon, the messenger brought the cavalry to the mouth of the valley and escorted Zhang Yao and Wang Guoyi back first.

Because Yuanwei County is not big, and now it is all the Huashan Army there, it is inconvenient to leave so many prisoners. Especially the next big plan is about to be launched, in case these people suddenly rebel and cooperate with Zhang Ju outside the city, I am afraid that this plan will fail.

Therefore, for the disposal of this part of the people, in the end, Zhou Tong and Peng Lin still sent 300 cavalry to escort them to Wushi County, and they were temporarily taken care of.

After sending the captives away, Deng Qiang and the others immediately collected the clothes of the Liangzhou soldiers, and then rushed to join Sun Tie. When they reached the mouth of the valley, they rested there for a while, so that it was already light.

"General Sun, after those people surrendered, plus the group of wounded people who were taken away, there were not many military uniforms left. Only half of the people who can wear it are now. The rest of the people didn't have military uniforms to cover up, so they killed towards Gulangxia Pass, I'm afraid it's easy to have problems! In the process, Deng Qiang suddenly discovered a serious problem.

There are 3,000 people here, and if Zhang Yao and the others all die in the river valley, it will naturally be enough for everyone. But now the situation is that many people have surrendered, and there are just a lot of people left who have not been replaced.

When Sun Tie heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and he was a little worried.

Just thinking about it, the scout in front suddenly ran back and said to the two: "General Qiqi, General Staff, a convoy has been found in front, it seems that it should be the enemy army responsible for escorting grain and grass outside Dongcheng!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Tie and Deng Qiang couldn't help but light up, the two glanced at each other, and in an instant, they seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.

"Quick, order everyone to ambush, let's ambush this baggage team again!" Sun Tie quickly ordered.

No one thought that it had only been long before there was another opportunity. At this time, Zhang Ju didn't know that Zhang Yao had failed in Dongcheng, so the baggage team sent a batch of supplies every few days as usual.

The number of people in this group is not very large, and the total number is only five hundred. But there are a lot of carts, not only with grain and grass on them, but also with arrows and other supplementary ordnance and weapons! Seeing these things, Sun Tie and the others were even more happy, after all, after fighting a battle, they are now lacking these things.

Although these 500 people are more powerful than Zhang Yao and them before, after all, everyone has weapons. But after all, the number of people was too small, and the vigilance was seriously insufficient, so it was easy for Deng Qiang and them to serve the pot.

This time the battle ended so quickly that the men below did not even have time to shout surrender, because they did not even see the shadow of the enemy.

"Hurry up, clean up this place, and then rest in the mountains and forests for a day, and let's go immediately in the evening!" After the battle, Sun Tie hurriedly ordered.

There were dense forests next to it, and after arranging scouts to keep watch, everyone retreated to rest in the dense forests on both sides of the river valley. After all, after leaving the river valley, it was only about twenty miles away from Zhang Ju's camp, and at this distance, it was very easy for the army to be detected by the other party during the day.

At night, the result is different, and safety can be greatly improved.

"In the evening, we will quickly lead the army through where Zhang Ju's army is, and when we start to move north, it will be nothing. However, after arriving at Gulangxia Pass, we have to think of a way to see how we can open and close the door! All the troops were resting, and Sun Tie and Deng Qiang were together to discuss their next move.

"That's right! If there is no good reason, I am afraid it will not be easy for us to get in! If the general guarding the pass is not shrewd, it will be easier to do it, but if we meet a more cautious one, I am afraid that it is unlikely to succeed! Deng Qiang thought so.

"How about using the same method you used to take Yangliang Pass?" After thinking for a while, Sun Tie asked.

"This is also a solution, but I'm afraid that the enemy army at Gulang Gorge Pass will not be fooled! Besides, we don't know the interval between the enemy's transportation of grain and grass materials, if you don't look like it, it is very easy to expose your identity! What's more, we can't go fast with so many big cars! Deng Qiang said with some concern.

"That's right! Yes, anyway, we still have a lot of brothers who haven't changed into enemy clothes. Let's just do this, those who have changed their clothes will pretend to be the cavalry of Zhang Ju's battalion, and those who have not changed their clothes will be regarded as prisoners of the Huashan Army. Let's just say that we were ordered by Zhang Ju to escort the prisoners of the Huashan Army to Guzang County, what do you think? After thinking for a while, Sun Tie suddenly slapped his head and said.

"Good way! In this way, the initiative is completely with us, and those enemy troops guarding the pass are afraid that they will still think that they have won the battle in front, and it will be too late to be happy! Again, we happen to have Zhang Ju to give Zhang Yao their talisman arrow in our hands, and it would be great to use it at this time! Do it! As soon as Deng Qiang heard this method, he immediately frowned and agreed directly.

After the two reached an agreement, they immediately discussed the specific details of the operation. When the sun went down and it was getting dark, he immediately led his army out of the valley. Out of the river valley, if you go straight south, you can reach Zhang Ju's camp.

After going southwest for dozens of miles, and then turning to the northwest, this is the road to Gulangxia Pass. This part of the journey is not close, and it must be nearly 300 miles along the way, but fortunately there are horses, otherwise, it will take a lot of time to rely on them on foot.
