Su Lu stood on the carriage, looking at the military ranks that meandered for miles, and had a headache.

The team is big, it's not easy to lead, especially in this Chu land, the official roads are all winding paths, and there are more than three horses in parallel, so they will definitely fight because they are crowded and crowded.

Leaving early in the morning, often the forward battalion walked for half an hour before the rear army could set off, and the march was only six hours a day, and the rest of the time was all waiting.

But that's fine, the province is worried about how to delay the march and wait for the enemy.

According to the report of the spies along the line, after the Mali army went ashore, the general of the unified army was furious when he saw the tragic situation of the prisoners, and he had already rushed up day and night.

The momentum is huge, and the soldiers are extremely strong, intending to destroy Su Lu's department in one fell swoop.

"Lord Wang, a new military newspaper."

Gao Dabao held a military newspaper in his hand and handed it over.

Su Lu took the military report and glanced at it, and the Mali people caught up, and it seemed that this battle was going to be ambushed.

"Give the order to go down, bury the pot and make food, and the sergeant will eat half full, ready to meet the enemy."

Lin Gang next to him looked up at the sky, it was only afternoon, lunch had just been used, and now it was time for dinner.

After receiving the military order, all the troops stopped to rest, and all the generals of the unified army rushed over to wait for Su Lu's instructions.

Su Lu glanced at Hua Xun and commanded:

"The Mali have already caught up, and according to the spies, they will be here in two hours, so we will eat first, and wait for them here."

"There are many trees and shrubs in Chudi, but it is a good place to hide soldiers."

Su Lu pointed to the bushes near the left and said:

"The cavalry army that left Sun Xiu to lure the enemy, and the rest of the armies, according to the terrain, each chose the ambush place, but remember for me, the drum is the trumpet, and when you hear the drum, you must give me a battle formation within ten breaths."

The generals agreed.

Su Lu waved his hand and directly dispersed everyone.

But then Hua Xun was bitter, and all the generals surrounded him.

Talking about the location of the ambush, vying for the front spot.

The place was open on all sides, and the nearest was four bushes, and the leading generals wanted to ambush everywhere.

There are more monks and less porridge, so they naturally compete for it.

Hua Xun's face darkened, and he said angrily:

"What are you arguing about, according to the rules, the strongest in the last martial arts competition was selected first, and the war was not that anyone who was powerful could make more achievements, and if they couldn't compete in martial arts, they still counted on a fart. Ding Shan, your grandson chooses first. ”

General Ding Shan was not angry, looked around with a smile, and pointed to the place casually.

"Governor, we'll choose this place."

Hua Xun waved his hand and assigned Ding Shan's army here, and the distribution behind it was logical, no one made any more trouble, and the big fist was chosen first.

As the sun began to set, the army of Mari finally arrived.

A squad of scouts searched and advanced, clearing the way for the army.

The scouts were all elite in the army, and as soon as they entered the encirclement of the Han army, they found a hidden guard who was not strong enough, and just as they wanted to shout, they were pierced through the chest by a spear poking out of the grass next to them.

"Puff Puff"

The ambushed guards were so skillful that in just a few breaths, the entire team of scouts was killed, and the bodies were dragged into the grass, and no one noticed that there was a scout team here except for the little blood that was spilled.

Behind the hillside, Hua Xun's face was a little ugly.

It's really embarrassing for these grandsons to do things, this is discovered, what can they do if they destroy that team of scouts, once they can't receive the scout news for more than half an hour, no matter how slow the Mali people are, they should know that something is wrong.

"Lord Wang, let's attack, it's been discovered."

Su Lu was sitting on the hillside watching the sunset, and when he heard the words, he glanced at the left and the closer, sensed the movement of the cards, and said with a smile:

"Wait, if the Mali don't enter the encirclement, let's move again."

"If this group of scouts has just communicated with the army, then this little time is completely enough for the Mali to enter our encirclement."

Where could there be such a coincidence, if you wait any longer, you may lose the opportunity.

Glancing at the janissaries on the left, Hua Xun climbed up the hillside, nestled on the hillside, looked into the distance, staring in the direction the Mali people came from, hoping that they would not react so quickly.

When the sun had set and the blue sky began to glow with a faint gray, the front army of the Malis finally appeared at the end of the horizon.

A few horses took the lead, tapping and stomping, and walked into the encirclement.

Hua Xun rolled down the hillside with a grunt, and when he came to the side of Su Lu, he jumped up and said:

"Here it is, Lord Wang."

Su Lu withdrew his gaze from the sky and glanced at Hua Xun up and down, until Hua Xun's hairs stood up and his face was full of smiles, and then Su Lu said:

"If you come, you will fight, and you want me to teach you when it is most appropriate to go out into the army?"

Hua Xun slapped his head with his backhand, picked up his pocket, smiled, trotted and jumped on the horse led by his own soldiers, pulled the reins, and walked around the side of the hillside.

"Sons, go, completely destroy this group of Mali people, let them know that our Han army is not easy to mess with."

Hua Xun led the army away, and it didn't take long for the dense sound of arrows breaking through the air outside the hillside, followed by the sound of fighting.

"Report, Lord Wang, there is information about the Tang Kingdom."

A janissary came over, holding an expedited military newspaper in his hand.

Su Lu took it, tore open the seal, took out the military newspaper and looked at it, and his face changed suddenly.

"Gao Ran is dead?"

The guards were a little stunned, and if they died, they died, and the prince's mood looked a little unhappy.

Sulu stood up and looked north.

Gao Ran actually committed suicide.

The Tang Kingdom has not yet reached the end of the road, looking at the situation of the Tang Kingdom, there is still a lot to be done, and Gao Ran actually committed suicide.

On the other side of the hill, the fighting reached a fever pitch, and the surrounded Mali army rushed left and right, but could not break through the Han army's military formation, but the casualties were getting bigger and bigger.

As night fell, the fighting continued.

The Mali people marched for a long time, and they were already tired and tight, and now they were waiting for work by the Han army, and most of them were killed and wounded in a short time.

The balance of victory soon fell in favor of the Han army.

On the hillside, Su Lu instructed Lu Zhan to collect the information, turned around and got into the carriage.

The war is coming to an end, the soldiers are bleeding and sweating, and they can't sit here and enjoy the fruits of victory, since Gao Ran is dead, and the new emperor is cruel and greedy, then there is no need for the Tang Kingdom to exist.

The battle in Jiameng Pass should be almost the same, the strong crossbow that should be used has also been used, and the deterrent has also been shocked, and the battle situation west of Jiameng Pass will be maintained by relying on the strong crossbow.

Leaving a Wang Fang is enough to defend it, if the Mali people are ruthless in using a strong crossbow in Jiameng Pass, then leaving Cao Hua will not be able to stop the other party's strong crossbow.

Destroying the Tang State and capturing all the Mali soldiers in the Han and Tang Dynasties is the premise for maintaining peace with Mali.

"Pass my military order, transfer Cao Hua back to Tuojiang, and preside over the battle to destroy the Tang Dynasty."

"Order, order Zhao Wu to lead the army, go up the Huaishui River, attack the Tang State, within three months, I will see his army in Dingxi."
