On the road from Huangcheng to Yongcheng, hundreds of horsemen are jogging forward, this is the cavalry of the Han army led by Deng Yulong, and three soldiers are used as guides, sometimes introducing the situation in the vicinity.

The east of Chencang belongs to the plain, and the terrain is flat along the way, and on the way forward, you can sometimes see villages, cultivated land and vegetable fields that have been developed and cultivated by the people, and occasionally you can see farmers at work. Even in winter, there are still a few crops that can be planted.

The Han army could see the villages and farmers, and the farmers could naturally see the Han army passing by.

"It's not like Zhang Han's soldiers."

"This is the Han Army, I saw the Han Army at the end of last year, and they are wearing such clothes."

"The Han army is here, that's great, hurry up and destroy the Qin traitors!"

When Deng Yulong passed by somewhere, someone was chatting in the vegetable field.

Before the expedition, Deng Yulong strictly ordered that the army should not infringe on or harass the people, and along the way, his subordinates did not commit any crimes against the people.

In the afternoon, we came to a fork in the road, which was located eighty or ninety miles north of Chencang.

"General, this is the way to Chencang."

There are two roads that branch off on the road to the south of Huangcheng, the road to the southeast is to Yongcheng, and the road to the southwest is to Chencang.

At present, the location belongs to the edge of the plain, looking to the southwest, a few hundred meters away is the mountain, and then it enters the Qinling Mountains.

If you fight on the plains, it is a force battle, and the Han army's combat strength is stronger than that of the Yong army, so it naturally has a great chance of winning.

However, Deng Yulong tried not to do this, he tried to get the maximum victory at the lowest cost, and took advantage of all the conditions that could be used.

Deng Yulong asked the three soldiers about the general situation on the road to Chencang, especially the terrain and environment conducive to combat, and he would ask in more detail.

Two of them could only tell the general situation, but Cao Erxi could explain it in detail. On that road, the mountains are steep and densely wooded, and few people usually pass through.

"Let's go, go in and have a look!"

Deng Yulong rode forward, and the others followed.

Since Deng Yulong had to observe the terrain and did not walk fast, the environment and landform on this road were roughly the same as those described by Cao Erxi, so he wanted to understand them in more detail.

The road leading south to Chencang is about 40 kilometers long.

Deng Yulong learned about the situation in detail along the way, and unconsciously arrived at Shen Shi.

Chen He said: "General, it's not too early, if you don't speed up, it's too late to get out of this road before dark." ”

Kong Ju said: "This road has not been inspected yet, it seems that the general does not plan to go back." ”

Watching Deng Yulong concentrate on investigation along the way, he guessed the general's thoughts.

Deng Yulong said: "That's right, it will take half a day to come and go, we have to take Chen Cang as soon as possible, try to save time, and camp in the wild tonight." ”

It is possible that Zhang Feng will come in two or three days, Chen Cang has not yet been taken, and it may delay the military situation if it drags on for half a day, Deng Yulong asked the soldiers to bring camping tents and enough food, and prepare to spend the night in the wilderness.

Hundreds of people continued to walk slowly, and after another hour, they came to the valley that Cao Erxi had described at noon.

The steep mountains on the left and right sides of the place, the dense jungle of the mountains, which is conducive to the concealment of soldiers, is very suitable for ambush warfare, if you can attract reinforcements from the south of Wangcheng here, you will definitely be able to fight a good battle.

Through field investigations, Deng Yulong had a battle plan in his mind.

"Chen He!"

"The last general!"

"You rush back to the camp to give me an order, let Zhou Bo and Xiahou Ying bring 10,000 elite soldiers to join me, we must meet the camp tonight, let the two of them set off early tomorrow morning, and arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest."

Deng Yulong took out the token and handed it to Chen He.

"No"

Chen He took the token and galloped south with 10 soldiers.

This is located in the west of Chencang, more than 30 kilometers away from Chencang City, since you want to attack Chencang from behind, you must choose where to enter and what route to take.

Deng Yulong continued to inspect the south until the evening.

The soldiers dismounted and set up tents on the road.

Cao Erxi described the situation of this mountain range in detail.

Together with his father and brother, he had entered this mountain range five times to hunt, and never found any traces of other people's footsteps, after entering the mountain range is a primitive dense forest, there are many kinds of animals, and the terrain after about thirty miles to the east is very steep, there are steep slopes, there are cliffs, he and his family dare not and there is no need to climb over the past.

"Do you think a few thousand soldiers will be able to climb over it?"

"Thousands of people going to climb over?"

Cao Erxi was taken aback, a hunter like him who was familiar with mountain activities would not dare to do this, let alone a few thousand people together.

"That's right, there are places you have walked in the first thirty miles, and you bring them to the army, as long as the army successfully crosses the past, you will be credited."

"General, it's very dangerous to climb over the past, and if you're not careful, you'll die."

"What, you're scared?"

Cao Erxi saw the importance of climbing over the mountains, which should be related to Chen Cang, he patted his chest and said: "If thousands of people do it together, of course I won't be afraid!" ”

It was already dark, and several fires were lit to roast and eat the meat they had brought.

The soldiers set up tents on the road, Deng Yulong lived alone, and the other soldiers lived in multiple people.

This time, Deng Yulong couldn't take a bath, in the past, in the barracks, he bathed in a large tent that belonged to the indoor place, camping in the barren mountains and mountains, living in a low small tent, it was troublesome to boil water, and it was better not to take a bath outdoors in winter, he just washed his face with hot water before going to bed.

Kong Ju galloped south with 10 soldiers, and by nightfall he had the soldiers raise torches and let the horses march on foot, and after another four hours of walking he returned to the camp.

"The Great General Has an Order......

After receiving the military order, Zhou Bo and Xiahou Ying were in a very good mood, maybe they could kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions like Fan Hao and Kong Ju, and they gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses with the general's token that night.

The next day, the sky was bright, and 10,000 soldiers marched north from the intersection of the road southwest of Chencang.

"General, the last general has been ordered to arrive."

When the 10,000-strong army arrived, it was close to noon.

"It's finally just in time, I have an important task for you."

"What task?"

Xiahou Ying and Zhou Bo asked anxiously, hoping to defeat the enemy army like Fan Xu.

Deng Yulong came to yesterday's valley with 10,000 soldiers.

"There is a good chance that reinforcements will come to Huangcheng, the purpose of calling you here is to kill the enemy's reinforcements, this place is an excellent place for ambush warfare, we must eat all the reinforcements. General Fan Xu made military merits first, and this time it's your turn. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Bo, Xiahou Ying, Kong Ju, and Chen He were all very excited.
