"Chun Yuqiong also underestimated our pioneer camp, right? With a few thousand tanks, you want to eat us? One of the lieutenants behind the open jaw snorted.

"This is in a valley, and as I expected, there must be an ambush on the mountain. How can you be careless? Zhang Jaw reprimanded him, took out a map to check, and said, "In the future, we will meet with the main guild to meet Yuan Shang's large chariot." If we can't rush out of breath in a short time, we will be flanked by Chun Yuqiong's troops on both sides, and there are ambushes on the mountain, and the losses of our vanguard battalion will definitely not be small. Only by rushing from the front, destroying Chun Yuqiong's light cavalry, and then going to Zheng County to rest, which is the county closest to Huguan, with 5,000 local troops, can just solve our urgent needs. ”

After opening his jaw, he put away the map.

"It turns out that the general has a plan..."

"Don't talk nonsense, rush with me!" Zhang Jaw waved the long knife and shouted: "Kill!" ”

"Kill..." The pioneer battalion followed, continuing to rush to the light cavalry on the opposite side.

............

As expected, among the five thousand light horses, there is really Chun Yuqiong!

As early as yesterday afternoon, he rushed to Huguan.

Yuan Shang ordered him to hold Huguan for half a month, and seeing that Yuan Xi's 140,000 army was about to arrive at Huguan, and Huguan didn't have much oil, how could he defend it? After thinking about it, he decided to take the risk and take the initiative to destroy one or two elites of Yuan Xi first. Although this can't change the overall situation, it can at least make Yuan Xi hurt for a while, and he has made meritorious contributions, so as to avoid the responsibility of losing the city. Among the generals of the annexed states, he consolidated his position.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Chun Yuqiong drew his sword and shouted.

Whoosh...

Suddenly, the ambush soldiers on both sides of the valley and the light cavalry behind Chun Yuqiong took out their bows and arrows and fired at the vanguard camp that rushed over. The density of arrows has reached an unimaginable level, with an arrow almost every few feet. At this density, even the best protected troops will be traumatized.

Puff!!

The open-jaw pioneer battalion had only run two hundred meters before it was fired.

Dense arrows, shot over a dozen people on the spot.

Bell...

Zhang Jaw relied on his extremely fast reaction speed to block a round of shooting, but he was shocked to find that the two lieutenants beside him were injured. He said to them, "Two generals, you follow me. ”

"At this moment, only by rushing out of the valley can there be a glimmer of life. Once caught up by the vehicles behind us, our losses will be even greater. ”

"Don't worry, general, let's open the way..." The two lieutenants did not flinch at all because of their physical injuries. They personally led the troops and rushed to the front.

Most of the arrows that flew over were blocked by them, and the later jaws opened and moved forward smoothly.

In the blink of an eye.

The three thousand pioneer battalions rushed to the front of Chun Yuqiong, but they also paid a lot of price.

"Kill the past and slaughter Chun Yuqiong!" Open jaw is already in a state of rage.

"Meet the enemy!"

Chun Yuqiong also cheered vigorously.

Boom boom...

The two armies engaged, and countless horses collided together.

Chun Yuqiong's light cavalry defense was already very weak, and it was hit by the heavily armored cavalry, and it was even a war horse strengthened by Yuan Xi, and it was immediately hit hard. In just one round, most of the losses were made.

Bell...

Puff!!

The entire battlefield was filled with the sound of knives and guns colliding and swords entering flesh and blood.

Chun Yuqiong knew that her martial arts were not good and did not participate in the war. After the five thousand light horsemen rushed to open the jaw, he ran to the hillside on the right to observe the enemy's position. I saw my own five thousand cavalry, under the attack of the vanguard battalion, like a flock of sheep.

The sword is cut on the armor and cannot break the defense.

The spear stabbed on the war horse was also useless.

It's almost monolithic.

"This..." Chun Yuqiong couldn't believe that the defense of a cavalry would be so strong.

He remembered that Yuan Shang had also formed a heavily armored cavalry, which was more numerous than Zhangjaw's, and the armor was not inferior in any way, almost exactly the same as Zhangjaw's vanguard battalion. But he could see it. Yuan Shang's heavy armor ride is by no means as strong as that of open jaws.

Then the minutes passed...

Chun Yuqiong watched her open jaw and protrude from the encirclement, but there was nothing she could do. The five thousand chariots behind Zhang Jaw, as well as the twenty strong crossbow vehicles, were too far away to rush into the battlefield before Zhang Jaw had already broken through.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Chun Yuqiong returned to the battlefield and ordered all the troops to stop the pursuit.

"General, why don't you chase it?" One of the adjutant generals asked.

"Further ahead is Zheng County, where there are thousands of enemy troops, and they are already in full battle. Add a jaw open, do you think we have a chance of winning? Chun Yuqiong asked rhetorically.

"This..."

"There are also Yuan Xi's army of more than 100,000 people, which is already about to be pressed up. We need to get out of here. Chun Yuqiong waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go back to Huguan!" ”

Da Da...

Chun Yuqiong's foot cavalry and chariot ran out of the battlefield and advanced in the direction of Huguan.

Soon after.

The army led by Yuan Xi and Gao Ran rushed to this valley.

The situation at the scene can be said to be shocking. On the entire official road, the corpses of the enemy were rarely seen, and almost all of them were the vanguard battalions with open jaws. Yuan Xi sent people to collect those corpses and counted them, and there were four hundred and thirty corpses.

"I didn't expect there to be an ambush!" Yuan Xi was annoyed in his heart.

Since the formation of the pioneer battalion, there have been few losses of hundreds, even on the border of Youzhou, fighting against the Xiongnu and Xianbei, the losses are less than three hundred. In today's battle, he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, but he saw more than 400 corpses.

"I don't know where General Zhang Jaw has gone?" Gao Ran walked over and said, "The last general has already sent people to search everywhere to see if there are any clues. ”

"No need to search, go directly to Zheng County. That's the only place open jaw can go. "Yuan Xi has already looked at the map. Zheng County is very close to Huguan and is an important border defense area. If he wants to join the army and solve his immediate needs, the only way to go there is to go.

"Yes."

"Send someone to transport these corpses back to Yecheng. The soldiers of the pioneer battalion are all honorary soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and they cannot be allowed to fight in the wilderness. Yuan Xi commanded.

"No."

Gao Ran sent a small team of men to collect the corpses and transport them back to Yecheng.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the army continued forward.

Next.

In the wee hours of the morning.

The armies of Yuan Xi and Gao Ran arrived in Zheng County.

As Yuan Xi expected, the pioneer battalion with open jaws really rested here. Moreover, the defenders of Zheng County are ready to defend the city and beware of the attack of Chun Yuqiong's army.

"My lord, the last general will be defeated, and I ask for punishment." opened his jaw to welcome Yuan Xi into the mansion.

His arm appeared to be wounded and hung in bandages.

"Are your injuries alright?"

"It's fine, just a little injury." He opened his jaw and changed his arms.

"It's okay." Yuan Xi found a place to sit down and continued the topic just now: "I asked you to chase it, if I punish you, won't I punish myself?" ”

"I just didn't expect that Chun Yuqiong would dare to come to set up an ambush? Isn't he a wine bag rice bag? Dare to be presumptuous? ”

"The lord is angry, Chun Yuqiong is crooked, and he actually has no talent to command the army. As long as the lord's army arrives, the pot pass can be broken on the same day! Zhang Jaw said.
