"Brothers, thank you." Shen Yiyuan rode on his horse, and waved at these old brothers who were willing to stand up, and thanked them one after another.

"Brother God, it's nothing, let's stop here, we can always guard for a while, and the other brothers, just let them leave quickly. The officers and soldiers of the brigade are coming. The rebels looked at the huge dust rising in the distance and urged urgently.

"Yikui, which old brothers are guarding here, can you tell the difference?" Shen Yiyuan pointed to the rebels who were willing to break off with him, and asked his younger brother with a solemn face.

Shen Yikui listened to his brother's words, first bowed deeply to all the rebels who were willing to stay, and then replied loudly: "All the great graces, the first kui, and all the brothers have written down, your parents, wives and children are our parents, wives and children, and we will be kind to them." ”

"That's it, that's it, you guys hurry up." All the rebels waved their hands, turned their horses, and faced Liu Renjie's scouts.

"Take care." Shen Yikui respectfully saluted the person in front of him, and then pointed vigorously to the southwest, and said loudly: "Let's go quickly, Huamachi will be recruited." ”

"Rack,"

"Rack,"

"Rack,"

The 700 knights, under the leadership of Shen Yikui, said goodbye to Shen Yiyuan and the others, and then slammed the horse's belly, galloped on horseback, and galloped towards the southwest in a hurry.

"Second master, do you want to send a few people around and follow them?" He Yaozong saw that the enemy army on the opposite side wanted to run, so he made a suggestion.

Liu Renjie looked at the terrain in front of him, shook his head and said: "Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, don't look at the mountain next to the road is not very high, I am really afraid that I will have to run for a long time, at that time, even if I go around, I may not be able to catch up with the fleeing thieves, it is better to wait here, and wait for the general to come and make a decision." ”

"Yes, Second Master." He Yaozong agreed, and then followed Liu Renjie to confront the Shen Yiyuan Department in a daze.

At this time, Liu Renjie felt that there were few people on his side, so he didn't dare to rush forward. Although there are many people on Shen Yiyuan's side, considering that the Jingbianbao army is approaching, they are afraid of losing the favorable terrain if they fight out, so the two sides are in such a stalemate.

After about 10 minutes, the ground shook and the dust was flying, Liu Renyu led his knights into the wall, and when he found that Liu Renjie was standing in place, he stepped forward and asked with a smile: "What's wrong Renjie, the thief is going to fight with us?" ”

"General, some of the thieves ran away before, this is left behind, because there are few people, they did not rush to pursue, I am afraid that some thieves will escape, please don't blame the general." Liu Renjie bowed down and said.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay if a few thieves can get away today, as long as they are still on the territory of Yansui or Shaanxi, we naturally have a chance to kill them, let's get rid of the thieves in front of us first." Liu Renyu first comforted Liu Renjie nonchalantly, and then immediately stepped forward to observe the enemy's situation.

I saw that the gang of thieves in front of me felt about a few hundred people, all of whom had stopped riding horses, and were all lined up in an infantry formation, with shields as a wall at the front, blocking at the mouth of a gorge, and at this gorge, the official road was just narrowed, and they blocked it there, and it was impassable.

"General, do you want to persuade you to surrender, or do you want to kill them?" Li Jiye immediately stepped forward and asked Liu Renyu.

"When I persuaded him to surrender before, it was very clear that if he refused to surrender, people like them who colluded with foreigners and harmed their own people were all traitors, and they should be killed all. Jiye, you stand aside, and your own tasks will be assigned to you later. ”

"Yes, General." Li Jiye agreed, and then retreated to the side and waited.

"Where's the Iron Bull?" Liu Renyu waited for Li Jiye to step aside, and then called loudly.

"Humble duty." Zhang Tieniu responded.

"I order you to quickly line up with your archers and prepare to release your arrows."

"Yes." Zhang Tieniu first agreed, and then ordered his subordinates: "All dismount and prepare to release arrows." ”

When the archers received the order, they dismounted in turn and prepared for the array.

"Where is Wenshan?"

"Humble duty." Ma Wenshan responded.

"The thieves lined up a sword and shield formation at the mountain pass, and our army also used sword and shield against sword and shield, so that you should bring a banner of sword and shield soldiers to open the way."

"Yes, General." Ma Wenshan responded.

"Where is Desheng?"

"Humble duty."

"I order you to lead a banner of men and horses, follow behind Ma Qian, and take advantage of the situation to kill the enemy."

"Yes, General." Ma Wenshan responded.

"Jikarma,"

"Humble duty."

"I order you to select a wrestler in the army, follow behind Ma Qian, approach the thief army formation, and throw 10,000 enemies at their rear formation, kill and injure them, disrupt their military formation, and wait until their array is scattered, Renjie."

"Humble duty, when the thief's array is scattered, you immediately take your cavalry to charge the enemy, rush through their array, and cooperate with the other thousand commanders to fight."

"Yes." The officers and soldiers agreed in unison.

"Brother, you see that the official army has just arrived, and the formation is quite chaotic, we might as well attack it now, take advantage of the chaos to fight with them, and we can always pull a few backs." A thief saw that Liu Renyu's department had just arrived and was still lining up in a chaotic formation, so he suggested to Shen Yiyuan.

"No, the terrain is open, if our army attacks out, it will soon be surrounded by the officers and soldiers, the combat power of the officers and troops of Jingbian Fort, you also know, if we are surrounded by them, even if we can kill a few of them, we will soon be killed, so they may not be able to run far, so I mean it is better to wait here, take advantage of the terrain, block them, so that their forces can not be deployed. Talk to them a little longer. Shen Yiyuan said.

"What my brother said is, then how do you say we should fight this battle?" The rebel soldier asked.

"Dismount, form a shield formation, and prepare to engage the enemy." Shen Yiyuan replied in a deep voice.

"Yes, Brother God." When the thieves received the order, they turned back and dismounted, took off their shields, swords, spears, bows and arrows, and prepared for battle.

When Shen Yiyuan saw that his own army formation was arranged, he watched intently at the movements of the officers and soldiers on the opposite side.

At this time, the officers and soldiers on the opposite side also set up a shield formation and were about to advance slowly, while Zhang Tieniu's archers were ready to release arrows.

"Brother, they are 70 paces away from us, and they are going to release arrows, which is really funny." When a thief saw that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were bending their bows, he sneered, amused by the nonsensical behavior of the officers and soldiers.

"Don't laugh, the Jingbian Fort Army has been famous for a long time, and there must be something outstanding, if there is no shield, step back, and the sword and shield soldiers raise their shields to stabilize their figures." After Shen Yiyuan finished speaking, he picked up a shield to protect himself.

"Release," Zhang Tieniu held an iron horn and roared loudly.

"Boom." The sound of the bowstring sounded, and hundreds of feathered arrows were dense like rain, and they rushed straight to the thieves at the pass.
