At this time, Batu, who went to Zhuojun to chase and kill Subu, felt that something was wrong, and the cavalry of the brigade marched in this wilderness without mountains and forests during the day, and it was clearly visible more than ten miles away.

However, Batu's army traveled all the way and asked the people of the surrounding counties and villages, but they did not get any news about the 5,000 soldiers of Subu.

Because of the incident in Guangning County, Zhao Yi had already ordered the counties and counties of Youzhou to pay close attention to the surrounding movements, and the march of the cavalry could not avoid the surveillance of the Youzhou officials and soldiers.

Batu personally led 3,000 elite soldiers to pursue for three hours in a row, and these three soldiers were all Hun war horses under their crotches, and he arrived at the junction of Daijun, Shanggu and Daijun earlier than the cavalry of his own tribe. I happened to meet Shi, who had just been promoted to the magistrate of Zhuo County, and escorted grain and grass to Guangning County.

Suddenly seeing these thousands of cavalry, Changshi stood on the grain cart and looked carefully, and found that this group of cavalry was not wearing official and military uniforms, and it was not the official army headquarters at first glance.

The three thousand soldiers of Batu's department stopped in front of the grain transport team, looked at the grain transport officers and soldiers, Batu rode out of the horse, and saw that the archers of the official army were aimed at him, Batu took out the state token from his arms and handed him the state capital token before leaving.

When Batu's cavalry arrived, Changshi already felt that this cavalry was different, if it was the enemy cavalry, it would have already surrounded itself, but this team did not.

At this time, seeing the token of the state capital of Youzhou, the doubts in Changshi's heart disappeared, this token of the state capital is unique to Youzhou Mu, and the use is only known to Zhao Yi of Youzhou Mu, and now the token is in the hands of this person, it seems that this person has a lot to do with Zhao Yi.

"Which one is in charge?" Batu looked around at the soldiers and asked.

Changshi bowed and stood up: "Xia Guan is." ”

"When your troops left Zhuo County, could you see a large group of cavalry passing by?" Batu asked, Batu was walking the shortest path from Zhuo County, and Su Bu must also take this path if he wanted to raid Zhuo County.

"Brigade cavalry?" Changshi will think about it, "It took an hour for our troops to arrive here from Zhuo County, and we did not see cavalry passing by in this hour. ”

"No, according to the foot strength of the Hun war horse, I'm afraid that I have already passed Zhuo County, why didn't I see it?" Batu frowned and muttered. From the time he received the news, he sent out his army again, at least two hours slower than Subu's marching speed, and in these two hours, according to Subu's war horses, he was afraid that he had already arrived. "Didn't you find out when you were a soldier scouting the horse?"

"It's impossible." Changshi said quite resolutely, "Since getting the news from Lord Zhao, the county guard Qin has attached great importance to it, and sent all the more than 200 scouts under the jurisdiction of Zhuo County to travel between the border of Dai County and Shanggu County. ”

The official army and the horses echoed each other in the three counties and weaved a net of heaven and earth, if there was a large group of people and horses, they would definitely not be able to escape the horses of the officers and soldiers.

Qin Chong, who received the news, attached great importance to this matter, Zhuo County is the granary of Youzhou's silver warehouse, if it is broken by the Hun soldiers, it is a big loss for Youzhou, and Qin Chong, as the county guard, is naturally to blame. In addition to scouting the horses, some soldiers defending the city were sent to assist in probing the news.

"That's weird." Batu scratched his head. pondering this matter, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's not good, did I fall for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" When he came to Zhuo County, Zhao Yi once told Batu to be careful not to fall for Xu Bu's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Now that Zhuo County is calm, it must be that after Xu Bu relied on his horse advantage and lured out his cavalry, he himself turned back and returned to Guangning County?

Now that there are only 5,000 cavalry in Guangning County, how can they stop the 5,000 elite soldiers of Subu, the cold sweat on Batu's face flowed down when he thought of this. However, Batu is not sure whether Xu Bu has really returned to Zhuo County, and there is no room for deviation in this matter. The slightest carelessness will cause great losses to Youzhou.

Batu said to the generals beside him: "Now the situation is still unclear, the two of us will lead the troops separately, I will lead 10,000 cavalry to continue to Fanyang County, and you will lead 5,000 soldiers to quickly rush back to Guangning County." ”

The general bowed down to answer the order, and did not dare to hesitate to turn his horse's head and run towards Quang Ninh County.

Now the official army camp in Guangning County is in full swing preparing for the siege of the city, the official army is very energetic, and has surrounded the Xiongnu army for nearly a month, and now it is finally the opportunity to show their talents. The depressed aura that was suppressed in the hearts of the officers and soldiers was instantly released.

Looking at the high morale of the officers and soldiers, Zhao Yi's face was full of smiles, and the eyes of the three brothers Liu Bei looking at Zhao Yi also changed, Liu Bei can be regarded as a person who has led the army for many years, and he has never seen officers and soldiers with such high morale.

The two armies fought, the morale of the soldiers was particularly important, the decadent demeanor of the Xiongnu soldiers in Guangning County City and the officers and troops under the city formed a sharp contrast.

Naturally, the movements of the officials and troops outside the city did not escape the surveillance of the Hun soldiers in the city, and the soldiers guarding the gate reported the matter to Qiangqu as soon as possible: "Chief, from this morning, all battalions of the official army are preparing siege equipment, and it seems that there will be a big move." ”

Hearing the news, Qiang Qu's gloomy eyes flashed with a brilliant light: "It's finally time to do it." Qiang Qu waited for this day for a long time, turned his head and asked his generals: "How is the situation of the troops now?" ”

"The morale of the people is low." As he spoke, the general turned his head to look at Qiang Qu's face, and added, "The morale of the soldiers is just low, and the combat effectiveness still exists, but our war horses are only afraid that it will be difficult to fight, and the war horses that have not eaten for five days have become weak, and it is still inconvenient to walk, so I am afraid that they will not be able to go out with the army." ”

It means that the elite cavalry on which he relied has now become infantry. The Hun soldiers who are good at fighting horses and killing suddenly change to attack on foot will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the army, and now the morale of their own troops is low, which will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

For more than 20 days, Qiangqu has been worrying about this matter, and his originally black hair is now a little grayer.

"At this time, our army has no choice but to attack." Qiang Qu did not hide it, and said the current situation, "Our department has suffered heavy casualties now, and the combat strength of the soldiers is far inferior to the original, and it is very likely that the soldiers of our department will be wiped out in the battle with the official army, but now we have no other choice." Our army is now besieged in Quang Ninh County by the superior forces of the official army, and there is no hope of breaking through, so we can only choose to die with the official army. Speaking of this, Qiang Qu showed a gloomy gaze, "Instead of being trapped alive by the officers and soldiers, it is better to fight to the death, and if we kill one, we will earn one." ”

Now the official army is forcing too strictly, and the strength has been greatly damaged, and Qiangqu has given up the breakthrough plan, just hoping to fight to the death with the official army and defend the honor of the soldiers.

The eyes of his subordinate generals also showed a determined look, because what Qiang Qu said was indeed good, and they had no way to retreat now: "The last general understands, and immediately tells his soldiers about the current situation."

The Hun soldiers are also bloody people, and naturally they also want to fight with the officials and soldiers to defend their dignity. Without waiting for Qiangqu to give the order, the soldiers took action one after another, making something to prevent the officers and troops from attacking the city. The soldiers are united, and it seems that they have returned to their original heyday.

Qiang Qu stared at the soldiers who were walking in a hurry, and sighed, although the cohesion of the soldiers returned, but Qiang Qu knew that this was the last glory.

Qiangqu stood on the city gate and looked at the officials and soldiers walking in a hurry in the official camp, shook his head slightly, the general trend has gone, he Qiangqu has been on the battlefield all his life, and he didn't expect to fall here.

Qiangqu has no regrets, there is a good saying, the crockpot is not broken from the wellhead, the general will inevitably die in battle, and now Qiangqu's only regret is that he did not see Zhao Yi, the only strong hand he has seen in his life. Qiang Qu really wanted to see what kind of amazing genius could have such courage and strategy.

In the contest with Zhao Yi again, Qiang Qu only took a few wrong steps, but he fell to this point. The chess master competes with one wrong step and falls all over the board, not to mention that Qiangqu takes several wrong steps.

The two soldiers and horses were nervously preparing for the attack and defense, and Zhao Yi sent a probe to investigate the news, but he ran into the military tent with a panicked face: "My lord, there is a large group of Hun soldiers who are killing towards the west gate!" ”

"A brigade of Hun soldiers?" Zhao Yi frowned slightly, got up and walked out of the barracks, and saw a burst of dust at the junction of Southern Heaven and Earth from a distance, "That cavalry really used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain. ”

Zhao Yi had already taken countermeasures, and when he saw the Hun soldiers coming to attack, he was not in a hurry, and ordered his soldiers: "Order the other three generals to change the formation immediately." ”

Zhao Yi's battalion's reaction speed was extremely fast, and the shield soldiers who had originally surrounded Guangning County withdrew from the camp, and the officers and soldiers quickly retreated and pushed to a stone's throw away from Guangning County.

The five thousand Wuhuan soldiers led by Lou Man were also ready, staring at the Hun soldiers who were getting closer and closer.

Naturally, the changes here have not been able to hide from the Qiangqu watched by the city gate, and the Qiangqu of his tribe is very clear, and seeing that Xu Bu led his troops to support, the Qiangqu can be said to be a mixed blessing.

The joy is that Su Bu has not given up on himself at this time, and he is worried that now that the official army is strong, his own troops will definitely suffer a big loss when they fight with it.

If they had come a few days earlier, Qiangqu, where the war horses could still move, would still have the strength to fight. As for now? When Qiang Qu saw the terrifying spear in the hands of the officers and soldiers in front of him, his heart kept falling.

"Chief, the young leader is now leading the army to reinforce now, how should my department respond?" The subordinate general inquired about Qiangqu, and when he saw that Xu Bu led the army to arrive, the fire of survival that had been extinguished in the general's heart burned again.

"I won't go out of the city to fight!" Qiang Qu showed a determined look in his eyes, now the official army is invulnerable, if his soldiers and horses rush to kill the past, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties, the reason why he still acts like this, because Qiang Qu does not want to see the soldiers and horses of the Xu Bu Department being wiped out by the official army, and he goes out of the city to engage in the battle, but to attract part of the official army.
