Li Yi was Li Zhong's younger brother in the end, and Xiahou was afraid that he would make a mistake, so he had to go to help him, so as not to be punished afterwards.

After chasing for a long time, I reached the middle of the canyon.

Li Yi saw Chen Chong's back from afar, and he was even more surprised in his heart at the moment. It is expected that as long as Chen Chong is killed, no matter what kind of plan he has, it will be useless.

Bang!

Suddenly, a high-pitched shout came, and it seemed that many reinforcements from the other side had arrived.

When Li Yi saw it, he was a little panicked at first. But then he calmed down, because he saw that the reinforcements were all strong men with flat hoes.

"Hahaha, this is an ambush?"

Li Yi looked up to the sky and laughed, "General Xiahou, I said that Chen Chong has no soldiers in his hands and is useless, but you still don't believe it." How about now? He even captured the strong men who had never been on the battlefield as a number. And I think the number of people is only a few hundred, so it's completely worry-free. ”

In the canyon, it is impossible to send troops. Therefore, although Xiahoudun had many soldiers and horses, he could not gather together. It's just like a long dragon, stretching through the canyon to march into the army.

Chen Chong sneered and led hundreds of soldiers and hundreds of strong men to kill Li Yi.

Li Yi was not afraid at all, and led the army to fight with Chen Chong.

Although the strong men led by Chen Chong did not have suitable weapons in their hands, they were all highly motivated, full of fighting spirit, not afraid of death, and very brave.

After a fight, it was extremely tragic, and both sides suffered many casualties.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Li Yi chanted incessantly and danced with his hands.

Chen Chong saw that he had reached a plan and completely lowered Li Yi's defense, so he turned around and fled again.

At this time, Xiahoudun didn't want to say anything, so he had to continue to chase after Li Yi.

In this way, the two sides once again staged a chase and escape.

About half an hour later, when Chen Chong and the others went out of the canyon, and Li Yi and the other troops were about to leave the canyon, Chen Chong suddenly laughed and said: "Li Yi, Xiahou Chun, you and others are all going to die here!" ”

As his words landed, boom! A loud bang rang out.

Immediately afterwards, I saw that above the canyon, there were many rolling stones and dead grass rolling down.

Xiahou Chun was shocked, reined in his horse and shouted: "The rear army stops, the rear army stops." ”

"It's late!"

Chen Chong sneered, and the strong soldiers above the canyon threw many torches downward.

Suddenly, a sky-high fire rose and intercepted both ends of the canyon.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Yi gritted his teeth and forcibly led the soldiers to rush towards the front exit.

"Arrows, arrows, arrows!"

The archers who were ambushed at the exit heard Chen Chong's order and fired ten thousand arrows at the soldiers of Li Yi's subordinates who rushed over.

"Ah.....h

The soldiers of Li Yi's subordinates were first frightened by the fire, and now they were killed by bows and arrows, and they immediately became in chaos, and the sound of screams and screams was endless.

Xiahoudun's face was gloomy, and he expected that the exit in front would be sealed, so he could only stabilize the army's morale and retreat towards the exit when he came to the rear.

------

"What? Li Yi didn't listen to Xiahou Chun's orders and marched into the army without authorization? Li Zhong heard the sentinel's report, and his face was angry.

"My lord, this is true. General Xiahou repeatedly dissuaded him, but General Li Yi just didn't listen. So General Xiahou ordered me to come to summon me and ask your lord to show me. The sentry truthfully said: "Lord Li, then Chen Chong and his two subordinate generals, Zhang Gen and Li Sheng, are both in Xieyang Valley. ”

"They're all in the Valley of the Rising Sun? Are they really setting up an ambush there to fight me? Li Zhong pondered for a moment and asked again, "Have you ever found out how many men and horses Chen Chong led?" ”

The sentry replied: "Lord Qiyu, the specific number of people has not been discovered, just listening to the movement, there are about a few thousand. ”

"Well, I thought I knew about it!"

Li Zhong looked at the map again and muttered: "In the land of Qiyang Mountain, only Xieyang Valley can ambush troops, and the rest of the land is a plain. Chen Chong only had 3,000 soldiers and horses, of which the cavalry was only 800. Our army of 6,000 elite soldiers and 4,000 iron horsemen, if we fight them in the land of the plains, we will surely destroy them in one fell swoop. ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Zhong was hindered by Li Yi's matter, so he had to focus on Xieyang Valley again, and ordered: "Li Yuan, Li Guang, you two led 1,000 elite soldiers and 1,000 iron cavalry, and hurried to Xieyang Valley."

This time, if Chen Chong really appeared in Xieyang Valley, there would definitely be ambushes. The soldiers and horses of Xiahou Dun's department must be planned because of Li Yi. When you arrive, do not go deep hastily, but go around the valley and try slowly. At the same time, when he saw Li Yi, he could take care of his troops and horses. ”

"Yes, sir!" The two generals in the tent listened to the military order and led the troops to help.

So far, Li Zhong has 10,000 soldiers and horses, and 5,000 have gone to Xieyang Valley. The remaining five thousand are still stationed more than ten miles away from Qiyang Mountain.

In the highlands of Qiyang Mountain, Wang Mang also kept sending people to inquire about the movements.

When he saw that Li Zhong had divided his troops again and rushed to Xieyang Valley, he was immediately overjoyed. With 2,000 soldiers and 4,000 strong men, they rushed to the camp of Li Zhong's iron cavalry.

After marching for an hour, Wang Mang had already led his army to a place a mile away from Li Zhong's army camp and stationed there.

When he came here, Yuan Qing immediately asked for an order: "Lord Wang, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and go to Li Zhong's front to call for battle."

"I'm willing to go too!" Xiang Wei also exclaimed.

Wang Mang laughed and said, "What are you waiting to do when you go to call the formation?" We are here to kill the thieves, and we don't have to pay attention to morality, let alone fight them one-on-one. ”

The leader of the hundred households under the tent heard the words, stood up and said, "Lord Wang, I'm afraid this move is immoral, right?" If it spreads, our army will inevitably be ridiculed. The last general thinks that it is better to call the battle first, fight a fight, and then take advantage of the situation to cover the kill. ”

Wang Mang glanced at this person, shook his head and said, "Shame? Han Guang, let me ask you, is it a big deal for us to be ridiculed, or is it a big matter for the tens of thousands of people behind us to lose their lives? If the world laughs at us for being immoral because of this, I am willing to bear it. ”

Baihu Han Guang's face changed, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "The subordinates are guilty, and the subordinates are guilty." ”

"Get up!" Wang Mang sighed: "Han Guang, dignity and glory are won by our hands, not by others.

A defeated person, no matter how capable he is, as long as he fails, he will never be able to get on the stage. If we go to call for battle, then Li Zhong must be on guard. In this way, how can our army match the opponent's 5,000 elite soldiers? ”

"Yuan Qing, you can quickly lead three hundred iron horsemen, drive four hundred horses, light a bonfire, drive the horses to gallop, and rush into the enemy camp." Wang Mang took a token, handed it to Yuan Qing and said in a deep voice: "In this battle, you must break through the opponent's cavalry camp and break up their defenses." If it doesn't work, come and see you. ”

"The Last General's Order!" Yuan Qing took the token and walked out of the big tent with a full body of anger.

Then, Wang Mang said to Xiang Wei: "You can lead a hundred iron horsemen to help from the side." ”

"Yes, Lord Wang." Xiang Xuan received the order and said in a deep voice.

"Han Guang, Zhang Ya, Sun Boren, the three of you lead a thousand elite soldiers, and three thousand strong men follow behind. When the opposing Chinese camp is broken, you will attack them with rockets and burn their camp, so that they will not have a chance to breathe. ”

"The last general will not fail in his mission!" Han Guang's faces were solemn, and his fighting spirit was high, and Long Xinghu stepped out of the camp and led the troops to set up the formation.
