Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang noticed that there were ambushes hiding on the road ahead, so they naturally chose to retreat the original way, but at this moment, a black smoke rose from the direction of Zhugong River, which made them surprised and suspicious.

Tan Yuliang ran back to the high place of the ridge, but found that there were more than a dozen soldiers on the bamboo bridge, piling up firewood and grass carried by several mules and horses to a narrow enough to allow only one horse to pass through the bamboo bridge and ignite it.

Even if the bamboo bridge was not burned, and there were more than a dozen soldiers holding bows to guard one end of the bamboo bridge, it would be difficult for them to rush through.

At this time, next to the Chinese mountain, the road is narrow and rugged, which is not conducive to the galloping of war horses, seeing more than 100 soldiers with swords, bows, vine shields, swarming out of the mountains and forests, Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang did not have the courage to continue to stay in place, asking why these soldiers would ambush them, and immediately led the horses to gallop into the mountain col in the east, hoping that the defenders of the Chinese city could detect the abnormality here in time and divide their troops to come to their aid.

When the smoke pillar on this side of Zhugongxi was in the air, it had already attracted the attention of the Chinese city guards, and the guard Tan Tie hurriedly climbed the south city tower to look at it.

The mountains and forests ambushed by the soldiers were less than ten miles away from the south tower of the Chinese city, even if he couldn't see it really, he could vaguely see that there were more than 100 generals divided into two groups, chasing into the mountain, and guessing the time was that Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang were robbed halfway.

At this moment, Tan Tie also suddenly realized that on the Yuanshui River to the east of the Chinese city, the number of black-canoped sailing boats gathered was unusually large.

The soldiers and horses of the Han family father and son in Qianyang City and Wuliuxi (Dragon Tooth City) are not abnormal, and the soldiers and horses gathered in Yuanjiang at this time and the soldiers and horses who are ambushed at the foot of the mountain to chase and kill the clan uncle Tan Yuliang and Zhao Zhixian, the head of Xuzhou, can only be the subordinates of the four surnames.

No matter what plans the four clans had against them, Tan Tie could not let Tan Yuliang and Zhao Zhixian be caught or killed by the four clans, and sent a scout horse to gallop out of the Chinese city to confirm that there were no other ambushes at the foot of the southeast mountain, so he sent the only 300 cavalry in the city to the foot of the southeast mountain to chase the ambush soldiers and rescue Tan Yuliang and Zhao Zhixian from the tiger's mouth.

At this time, Feng Changyu and Xi Zhen, who were wearing silver-scale armor, hid in the cabin of a canopy boat, staring at every move of the Chinese city a few miles away, and after seeing the three hundred cavalry being lured out of the city for seven or eight miles, they also did not hesitate to send out a signal, informing the thirty-six awning boats gathered on the left and right to sail towards the mouth of the Lujiao Creek on the south side of the Chinese city like off-string arrows.

There were four fishing boats closest to the mouth of the Antler Creek, and they rushed to a newly built wooden bridge in the lower reaches of the Antler Creek as soon as possible, and secretly crowded into the narrow cabins of the four fishing boats.

In the past year, although Tanzhou has sent thousands of elites and more than 2,000 dependents into Xuzhou, even if it is to cover up and steal the bell to avoid the court from detecting and questioning, it is impossible to openly arm more than 1,000 elites and deploy them in the head of the Chinese walled city.

Therefore, there were more than 400 armed guards standing in the Chinese city, and more of them were brave and strong, more like the displaced people they gathered at the foot of the Chinese mountain.

Even if Han Qian absconded to Xuzhou, Tan Tie, Tan Yuliang, and Zhao Zhixian received instructions from Tanzhou, they were only secretly on guard, not to act rashly, and they also believed that the Han family father and son would eventually have a request for Tanzhou.

This was one of the main reasons why Feng Changyu and other chieftains of the three tribes, in addition to being misled by the prison envoys Zhang Ping and Gao Bao, believed that Tanzhou had only about 400 soldiers and horses in the Chinese city.

At this time, seeing that more than 300 cavalry were lured to the south bank of Lujiao Creek, Feng Changyu and they naturally believed that even if they gathered thousands of soldiers and horses to land at the mouth of Lujiao Creek, they could capture the Chinese city before the Han family's father and son reacted.

Seeing forty or fifty black-canopy sailing boats and fishing boats rushing into the mouth of the Lujiao Creek, three or four miles south of the city, more than 1,000 soldiers flocked to disembark and assemble on the newly built gallop road north of the creek beach that connected with the wooden bridge, Tan Tie, the Chinese city guard, had another feeling in his heart.

Tan Tie didn't think that the four surnames might gather troops to come directly to attack the city, after all, the four surnamed soldiers gathered directly in the open space between Antler Creek and the Chinese city, and it was more likely that they mistakenly thought that the defense in the Chinese city was empty, but he couldn't risk that more than 300 cavalry, as well as Tan Yuliang and Zhao Zhixian, would be completely blocked on the south bank of Antler Creek.

Once the assembled four surnamed Zhai soldiers did not come to attack the city, but entered the south bank of Lujiao Creek through the wooden bridge, they only needed to hold the wooden bridge, and they could concentrate their superior forces to besiege and rescue the more than 300 cavalry of Tan Yuliang and Zhao Zhixian.

Tan Tie didn't even know if the four surnames had dispersed to hide more ambushes in the depths of the Chinese mountains in the past ten days.

Seeing that there were no ships approaching on the left and right rivers, and the spies who were staring at Wuliuxi (Dragon's Tooth City) and Qianyang City did not send out abnormal signals, Tan Tie naturally summoned more than 600 armor soldiers who were urgently armored in the city to attack the four surnamed soldiers assembled on the north bank of Lujiao Creek.

Looking at the group of armored soldiers who came out of the cave of the Chinese city gate, Feng Changyu's face was a little pale, and he asked his son Feng Jin, who was wearing heavy armor and ordering the soldiers to form a formation: "How did you explore the enemy, how come there are 400 soldiers and horses in the Eagle Fish Village?" ”

"The father and son of the Han family secretly sent troops to hide in the Chinese city and wait for us to enter?"

Feng Jin hadn't realized that they had misjudged the actual strength of Tanzhou sent to Xuzhou from the beginning to the end, and thought that all this in front of them was a trap set by Tanzhou and the Han family's father and son, waiting for the four surnames to break in.

Yes, how could they realize that the Han family's father and son were not in tanzhou, and how could they realize that Han Qian's absconding from Xuzhou was arranged by Emperor Tianyou to deal with the puzzles and traps in Tanzhou?

The back of Feng Jin's head tightened for a while, and he turned his head to find Gao Bao's figure, but saw a fishing boat quietly heading out of the stream.

When Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son first entered Xuzhou, they forced the four surnames to form a fleet to trade with Jinling, and at that time they sent Feng Zhang and Gao Bao to lead the Feng family's children to escort the ship, which also made Feng Zhang and Gao Bao keep an eye on Feng Xuan's every move.

Although Han Daoxun and Han Qian paid compensation, they did not form a fleet of four surnames after the Jingxiang War, and only used the Xuzhou boat gang led by Yang Qin to maintain the trade between Xuzhou and Jinling and Junzhou.

After that, in addition to Feng Xuan, who continued to lead some people to assist the Xuzhou ship gang in transporting goods, Feng Zhang and Gao Bao returned to Fanzhai.

Feng Changyu and Feng Jin father and son have always been worried that Feng Xuan might be bought by the Han family's father and son, and specially ordered Feng Zhang to lead a team of men and horses to station in the village near Feng Xuan and keep an eye on Feng Xuan's every move, but why didn't they expect that there would be a problem with Gao Bao?

From the south gate of Eagle Fish Village (Chinese City), only more than three miles can be killed in front of the bridge, such a short distance, Feng Changyu and Feng Jin They want to withdraw the village soldiers from the front of the bridge, and it is impossible to escape from the river beach, and more than 300 cavalry who entered the south bank of Lujiao Creek also stopped at this time, and it is possible to recoil at a faster speed at any time.

They could only bite the bullet and motivate the soldiers, shrink the formation more tightly in front of the bridgehead, and deal with the first wave of impact from the elite armor of Tanzhou.

"What's going on, didn't you say that Tanzhou only has 400 soldiers and horses in Eagle Fish Village?" Yuan Xuzhou Sima Xizhen walked over with a frightened face, his fat and short body propped up the scale armor, as if an iron armor ball was rolling on the ground, and anxiously asked Feng Changyu.

"Didn't you Xi Clan confirm that there are only four hundred Tanzhou soldiers and horses in the Eagle Fish Village before?" Feng Jin asked rhetorically with some anger.

"Although there are more soldiers and horses hidden in Tanzhou in Eagle Fish Village than imagined, they are not invincible!" Feng Changyu said in a gloomy tone, on the one hand, they couldn't mess up the army's morale without a fight, on the other hand, they stood in front of a dirt slope, and they could see that in addition to more than 600 soldiers, there were no more soldiers and horses to kill out of the Chinese city, which made him feel a lot more relieved, thinking that even if the Han family father and son colluded with Tanzhou to design, but Qianyang City was so strong, no matter how scheming the Han family father and son were, the elite who could hide in the Eagle Fish Village without any flaws was limited after all.

Feng Changyu was still iron-hearted at this moment, believing that the Han family's father and son colluded with Tanzhou and set up a trap against them.

For this sneak attack on Eagle Fish Village, they drew 500 elite soldiers from Jingyun Village, and Xiang's, Yang's and Xi's made up a total of 800 elite soldiers to participate in this operation.

In addition to the more than 100 soldiers who were used as bait, they gathered nearly 1,200 elite soldiers on the north bank of Lujiao Creek at this time, and as long as they held the wooden bridge at present, so that more than 300 cavalry did not have the opportunity to impact their rear, they faced more than 600 Tanzhou soldiers head-on, to say the least, they had to have an eighty percent chance of winning!

Of course, they must rush to the Han family father and son to lead the soldiers and horses over, and defeat the Tanzhou soldiers and horses to capture the Eagle Fish Village, leaving them with very limited time, otherwise, they can only flee into the depths of the Chinese mountain to avoid the edge of the Han family father and son.

After a stick of incense, Tan Tie led more than 600 soldiers to advance to the front of the array of the four surnamed villagers, and they had the same thoughts as the four surnamed soldiers, they all wanted to end this decisive battle that broke out suddenly before the Han family's father and son led the troops to arrive, and retreated to the Chinese city to hold on.

In the dense rain of arrows, the Tanzhou soldiers held their shields high and charged forward fearlessly.

The wooden bow held by the four surnamed soldiers is short, which is convenient for shuttling and hunting in the mountains and forests, but the strength of the arrows shot is limited, in comparison, the equipment of the Tanzhou soldiers is much better, rushing forward with the rain of arrows, waving the sword and shield, and the four surnamed soldiers holding spears in the front are killed, and the archers in the rear will throw waves of iron arrows into the array of the four surnamed villagers, and a rain of blood flies up, neither side has been tempted, and there is no rejection of horses and antlers and other even the simplest weapons to isolate the two sides, and they will directly enter the most tragic white-knives fighting.

Although the equipment of the four surnamed Zhai soldiers is much worse, the number of people is superior after all, and at the same time, the people are brave and warlike, and they are not afraid in the face of the bloody battlefield.

This is also the main reason why the people of Chenxu Shaoheng Prefecture are scarce, and there are also big rivers such as Yuanshui in the hinterland of Dongting Lake, but they have not been completely naturalized by the central government for hundreds of years.

More than 900 years ago, Ma Yuan, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, led more than 40,000 elites to the south to conquer the Wuling barbarians, but was finally stopped from dying of illness in Yuanshui Hutou......
