"It's finally out! Immediately send people to inspect the front and back to see if the cavalry of the Huashan Army has caught up, or if they are waiting for us in front! When they came down the mountain, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and Zhang Yao immediately sent out scouts. The army rested at the foot of the mountain, fearing that the Huashan army would catch up, so they soon marched all the way northwest at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, the scouts sent out kept coming back to report along the way, saying that no trace of the Huashan army had been found, which made Zhang Yao and Wang Guoqi breathe a sigh of relief.

Under these circumstances, all the people marched on foot, and not a single person had a horse, and even the scouts had to rely on foot, and how far could they get out. The place where they went down the mountain was only more than fifty miles away from the mountain pass where Sun Tie and they were ambushed.

These people didn't know that from the moment they got off the mountain, they had already fallen into the eyes of the scouts of the Huashan Army. These scouts were not sent by the county town, but by Deng Qiang, the purpose of which was to grasp the movements of the enemy army so as to prepare for the next ambush.

How far can it be more than fifty miles, especially for a group of people fleeing for their lives. Everyone was afraid that the Huashan army would catch up, and they all wanted to run farther away at night when no one was paying attention. In this way, in the middle of the night, they were already close to the mountain pass.

Zhang Yao: The place where they came was actually a river valley. In ancient times, the places where you traveled were mostly based on the mountains and rocks of the river valleys, after all, those places were relatively flat and the terrain was relatively gentle.

For the army, it is not easy to get lost in the river valley, and there is a water source on the side, which is much more convenient for camping.

The valley they crossed, the river was not particularly wide, but the bottom of the valley was relatively wide. In this way, the army marches just right.

In addition, this road is relatively short, because it is a longitudinal north-south passage, and it is less than ten miles away from here to cross the mountains.

The valley is flanked by dense forest walls, which are lush and green, making the whole valley seem dark, not to mention that it is night. And Deng Qiang and Sun Tie happened to be ambushed in the mountains and forests on both sides, especially at the valley mouth on both sides, heavily guarded.

Deng Qiang was in charge of the valley mouth in the north, and Sun Tie was in charge of the south direction. The distance between the two is about five miles, which is exactly half the length of the river valley.

Because there are some places in the valley where there are forks, if the enemy runs away from these places, it may pose a threat to the whole plan! So, I had to tie the pockets a little smaller.

In the middle of the night, the scouts sent out came in turn.

"General, the enemy army is still ten miles away from the valley mouth, and the number is about three thousand."

.....

"General, the enemy army is only five miles away from the valley mouth, and it will soon enter the valley!"

.....

"General, the enemy is a mile away, and he will soon enter the river valley!"

.....

"Look, General, the enemy is starting to enter the valley!"

Because they were afraid, they didn't dare to be too ostentatious in the night, and they didn't even have many lights, just some sparse torches.

Deng Qiang, who was lying in ambush at the mouth of the river valley, watched these people rush all the way into the river valley, and it didn't take long for the whole team to completely enter the river valley.

"Why aren't these guys wary at all? When marching in such a place, do you not even inspect it beforehand? Deng Qiang looked a little strange in the mountains and forests, and said secretly in his heart.

How did he know that when Zhang Yao and the others saw this river valley at this time, their hearts were already much more relaxed. After all, after crossing this river valley, it was only more than twenty miles away from Zhang Ju's camp, and it was completely safe there.

Again, Zhang Yao and the others didn't know that the Huashan Army that came to support the county seat this time was not only Peng Lin's 2,000 people, but the other 3,000 people had already been ambushed here in advance.

If they had known that there were still 3,000 people, I am afraid that this journey would not have been like this. I'm afraid that I will take one step and see three steps, for fear that an ambush will rush out at any time.

"Everyone, get ready, do it!" Deng Qiang couldn't control it so much, anyway, when he saw that the enemy had entered the ambush circle, he immediately gave the order.

With his order, the soldiers of the Huashan Army beside him immediately threw all the stones and trees that had already been prepared into the valley mouth. In an instant, the entire valley mouth seemed to be shattered and the earth moved, and the entire valley mouth was blocked at once.

In the river valley, the soldiers of Liangzhou, who were happy because of the hope of getting out, suddenly heard this earth-shaking sound at this time, and hurriedly looked back. Especially the soldiers at the back, when they saw the place they had just passed, they were completely blocked at this time, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"Not good, there is an ambush! Spread out! Zhang Yao and Wang Guo walked in the middle, although they found that the situation in the back was slower, but they reacted quickly. When he noticed that he was ambushed, he immediately shouted.

After hearing this voice, the Liangzhou soldiers suddenly became a mess. This has just escaped from the mountain, and it seems that he is about to reach a safe place, and he actually encountered an ambush, and this psychological gap is a little too big.

Especially in this dark situation, you can't even see the shadow of the enemy, and everyone wants to fight back, but there is no way to start!

"Boom!" There was another loud bang from the front, and soon, the soldiers in front ran over to report.

As Zhang Yao expected, the road ahead was also blocked. In this way, everyone is blocked in the river valley at this time, and there is no way out at all!

"Shoot the arrows!" As soon as the encirclement was completed, Deng Qiang and Sun Tie ordered almost at the same time.

The soldiers of the Huashan Army on both sides of the river valley immediately shot the arrows in their hands. At this time, it was dark all around, except in the river valley, because Zhang Yao had torches in their hands, so this goal was really obvious.

A wave of arrows came down, and there were already many dead and wounded people below. And Zhang Yao and the others obviously also discovered this, and hurriedly shouted loudly, asking everyone to extinguish the torches in their hands.

As a result, the entire valley soon became pitch black, and from the mountains, it was impossible to see anything underneath.

It's a pity that their method is difficult for the Huashan army on the mountain. After all, there is not much on this mountain, but there are many woods and firewood, and after throwing these things down, and then putting a few rockets down, the whole valley will be clear.

"Tell the brethren to save me some of the arrows in your hand, and aim them before releasing them!" Deng Qiang also held a bow and arrow in his hand, almost without missing arrows, and one arrow killed him. After that, you have to rush to Gulang Gorge Pass, and the arrows in your hand are indispensable, otherwise, it will be very dangerous when you face a big war later.

Zhang Yao and his group were extremely unlucky, in order to run faster, many of the soldiers' things were almost thrown away. For example, bows, arrows, and so on, some people even took off their armor.

In today's situation, these people can't help but regret that if they have a bow and arrow in hand, they will be used to fight back at this time!

Some people saw a few smaller valleys not far away and wanted to rush into them. If you can rush into the mountains and forests there, it is not a way to escape, at least, you should not be a live target in the river valley.

However, not long after they rushed over, there was immediately a scream. Sharp arrows flew out of the mountains and forests, and shot straight at them. Many people have fallen before they have even entered the mountains and forests.

Even if some people were lucky enough to run into the mountains and forests, they soon disappeared. Because in this mountain forest, there are soldiers of the Huashan Army inside, and they have thrown themselves into the net.

"God will kill me! The Huashan Army is everywhere, and we will all die here today! Zhang Yao saw the scene in front of him, and then heard the screams in the river valley, and couldn't help but sigh at the sky!

"Brother Zhang, the matter has come to this, and we have no choice. In my opinion, we might as well surrender! The kingdom looked around for a way out, but found nothing, and when he heard his words again, he hurriedly spoke.

"Surrender? You and I have received the kindness of the Zhang family in our lives, how can you betray Lord Liang? For the generals, just as the horse leather shrouded in corpse returned, how can there be those who surrender without a fight? Hearing this, Zhang Yao couldn't help but be furious.

I have to say that he still has some backbone. It's just that in this situation, no one will listen to it again. After all, Liangzhou has been chaotic enough in the past few years, and the people and ministers have not appreciated the slightest kindness, so how can they be willing to die for it!

So, soon someone started shouting "surrender"! When someone took the lead, others soon began to shout.

Deng Qiang on the mountain heard this, but they didn't answer for a while. After all, if the other party surrenders, it will be very disadvantageous to yourself. The ambush circle that was formed with great difficulty, once it is released, it will not be easy to think about Wanli. What's more, there are not many people who surrender at this time.

After fighting for a while, there were more and more voices in the valley, and Deng Qiang was about to stop.

"Let them put down their weapons, tie their hands and enter the valley, and if there is the slightest falsehood, they will be shot immediately!" Deng Qiang then ordered.

Before the war, I thought that the enemy would surrender, but I just didn't expect it to be so soon. But when you think about it, it's not surprising, after all, they've already suffered a blow before.

Under the repeated blows, the morale is already extremely low, and at this time, there is no way to move forward and no way to retreat, and there is no other choice but to surrender.
