Zhu Bao naturally didn't expect someone to set up an ambush at the door of his house, the scout sentry was not in a hurry to send it, Qiqi was close to Jianning, but Lan was more than 400 miles away from Jianning, Zhu Bao hoped to rush to Jianning as soon as possible, and Yonghong and Gao Ding would defeat Liu Yi together, he didn't have any deep hatred for Liu Yi, so he just wanted to drive Liu Yi out of Nanzhong and stand on his own feet in various places, as for entering Shuzhong, Zhu Bao didn't have this idea for the time being.

This is between the cracks surrounded by mountains, after leaving the city, what you can see is the mountains, not to mention that Liu Yi still has thirty miles according to this, even if Liu Yi advances the soldiers and horses around Jilan, it is difficult to find without sending scouts, even if the scouts are sent, if the scouts are not experienced enough, or are negligent, it is unlikely to be noticed.

After the army entered the mountain stream, the originally neat formation began to change, from the top of the mountain, it looked like a long snake spreading forward, but this is not a long snake formation, the terrain restrictions make it impossible for such a team to look at each other, especially when passing through some extremely narrow roads, especially when passing through some extremely narrow roads.

Of course, if you have enough time, you can set up an ambush on the mountain, and if you don't pursue the thief to capture the king first, in such a place, rolling wood and stones can be thrown down, which can maximize the killing of the enemy army.

The premise is that you have to be able to find your way up the mountain, and Liu Yi's goal is to quell the rebellion rather than kill, in the final analysis, these soldiers and horses are nominally their own soldiers, and there are too many casualties, and it is Liu Bei's war potential that is lost, so from the beginning, Liu Yi's strategy is to kill the first evil, and the servants can be reduced according to the crime, so as to maintain the population of the people to the greatest extent.

In such a vast and sparsely populated place, 20,000 soldiers and horses can be gathered, most of whom are recruited from the people, and if the killing is too much, it is easy to cause the lack of the entire Han people, which is not conducive to promoting the integration of the Han and barbarians in the future.

……

"These county soldiers, they're so fucking slow!" Zhang Bao spat out the grass roots that had been chewed in his mouth, according to the news from the scouts, the probability of the other party's army arriving here today is very low, which also means that they can't stay in a comfortable barracks or city tonight, but have to stay here for one night.

Fortunately, it's February, even if it's a place where you can see green plants in all seasons, there aren't too many mosquitoes, otherwise some of them would have suffered this night.

Now Zhang Bao really wants to find that Zhu Bao, and take the other party to ask, how did he do it when he marched less than thirty miles in one day? I heard that the king crossed the river with his people, and the speed was about to catch up with these people.

"General, do you want to go back and rest and come back tomorrow?" The accompanying general asked in a low voice, even if the enemy army is still some distance away from here, but in the exchange, he still maintains a low voice communication, it is not an important thing to not speak, Liu Yi chose to spend a month to focus on training the discipline of this brute army, and now it seems that it is still very effective.

"Fart!" Zhang Bao scolded in a low voice: "Hide it well for me, in case you alarm the other party, how can you ambush it!?" Tell everyone, don't make a fire, if you want to take over at night, crawl for me, it's a big deal, be careful I smoke you! ”

Now the distance between the two sides is only a few miles, if Zhu Bao is more vigilant and sends scouts over, it is easy to find any movement here.

"Whoa!"

The barbarian had to nod his head, climbed back to deliver the order, and a thousand men and horses waited quietly in the forest, but fortunately, these barbarians were used to mountain life, and had a set of mountain life experience.

"Tinghou, why don't we steal the camp?" Liu Yi led people in the rear, and he also did not set up camp, Liu Yi was also worried about exposing the target, so this night, he also chose to sleep in the open air, after Meng Yan arranged the soldiers, he returned to Liu Yi and asked in a low voice.

Liu Yi silently took a bite of the meat muffin, looked at Meng Yan when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "It's not worth it, it's the easiest to blow up the camp this night." ”

"Isn't it good?" Meng Yan was puzzled, the other party bombed the camp, isn't it easier to defeat?

"This terrain has really blown up the camp, 20,000 people are like flies without a head, and our little people and horses may be trampled to death directly." Liu Yi took a sip of water, ate meat muffins, and explained vaguely: "The final casualties may be similar to directly confronting the other party, these are all county soldiers, and they are rebellious, and we will be a little lacking in confidence in people's hearts, in the case of a surprise attack, it is easy to choose to surrender, but if it is the case of bombing the camp, not to mention the heavy casualties, it is easy to block the other party's way." ”

Meng Yan nodded silently when he heard this, this is indeed the truth, Liu Yi said very clearly at the beginning, those who can surrender can not be killed.

This night, for Liu Yi, who rarely stays up late, had a bit of a torment, no matter what, he is the commander of the three armies, and when he is on the march, he has to play some exemplary role.

At the beginning of the morning light, the morning breeze blew through the mountains with a cold air, Liu Yi shivered, looked at the unscrupulous smoke rising in the distance, took two guards to the heights, and took off his bamboo binoculars from his waist.

Lu Lingqi didn't start stealing the city last night, which made Liu Yi feel relieved, his wife still has a way of fighting, and she should find that there is no fight here, so she didn't startle the snake.

The army is obviously accustomed to a slow-paced life, a breakfast meal, until the end of the day, even if Liu Yi is more gentle, he is a little speechless at the moment, I don't know, I thought that more than 20,000 people came to travel in a group.

After a period of friction, the army finally began to march slowly, Liu Yi silently hung the telescope back on his waist, and said to Meng Yan beside him: "Ready!" ”

"Whoa!" Meng Yan intervened and went to gather soldiers and horses.

On the other side, Zhang Bao, who had already been prepared, looked at the slowly marching in the distance, and the army of Qi Qi who came from in front of him unconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, and there was a faint flame burning in his eyes.

He has no ability and has a big heart, so he drank the wind in this barren mountain and wilderness all night, and now he wants to kill!

The army walked slowly almost from its eyelids, Zhang Bao did not move, like a tiger lurking in the dark to observe the weakness of its prey, he was waiting for the weakest point of the enemy to appear.

Zhu Bao's handsome flag appeared in sight, Zhang Bao slowly raised the spear in his hand, waiting for the handsome flag to move in the sight, waiting for the other party to pass by, no sale, Guan Xing blocked the road in front, and the front moved, he will kill from the rear here, not give Zhu Bao any chance to escape, today he wants to use his spear, not to poke more than ten or twenty holes in the other party's body, it is difficult to eliminate the monstrous anger in his heart.

A gong sounded, there was chaos in front, a group of men and horses came out of the oblique stab, and instantly cut off the army of Qiqi, Zhang Bao, who had long been unable to bear it, saw that the front moved, and the spear in his hand swung down fiercely.

A slap of arrows rose into the air, landed in the panicked crowd, and fell in an instant, Zhang Bao turned over and got on the horse, the flames in his eyes almost really burned, and he opened his voice and roared: "Kill me!" ”

The evil fire that had been held all night, at this moment it seemed to be completely released, the war horse that sat down seemed to be able to feel the anger of the master, and ran like joy on all fours, and the barbarians behind him showed their figures, holding their respective weapons one by one, let out a strange cry, followed closely behind Zhang Bao, and rushed into the crowd.

The soldiers of the county were in a state of confusion, instinctively wanting to meet the enemy.

"Get out!" The spear flicked, forming a bow, with a scream, and several spears that pierced themselves were directly broken by the huge force, and the violent force smashed on the person, directly smashing the approaching soldiers out.

The main general was so brave, and the barbarian soldiers behind him were also encouraged, and one by one they roared and rushed into the crowd, picking up the weapons in their hands and slashing down at the county soldiers who were blocking their path.

These county soldiers have been dealing with barbarians all year round, and it cannot be said that they have no combat power, but it is the first time to see such a fierce barbarian, plus they are attacked on both sides at the same time, and they don't know how many people there are on the other side for a while.

Under the banner of the commander in charge, Zhu Bao looked at the army that fell into chaos in an instant, as well as those soldiers and horses in red armor, and he was a little flustered in his heart, never dreaming that there would be an enemy ambush in this place.

"Block him!" In the crowd, Guan Xing had a long knife, where he passed, the knife was bright, no one could stop it, it was particularly eye-catching, seeing that the other party was rushing straight to him, Zhu Bao hurriedly commanded the soldiers to step forward, wanting to stop Guan Xing.

At this moment, the rear was also in chaos, Zhang Bao was like a humanoid beast rampaging through the chaos, blood covering his original face, but it was even more hideous.

Attacking back and forth, Zhu Bao didn't even have a place to escape.

The henchman led the tie forward, but Guan Xing fell under the horse with a knife in his hand, and Zhang Bao on the other side was even more like entering a no-man's land.

"Don't rob it, the head is mine!" Guan Xing saw Zhang Bao approaching, and was immediately dissatisfied, and after killing the enemy general, he hurriedly urged the horse to kill Zhu Bao.

"First come, first served!" Zhang Bao roared proudly in the chaotic army.

"Spare my life!" Zhu Bao looked at Zhang Bao with a hideous smile on his face in horror and rushed forward, wanting to roll off the horse and beg for mercy, but Zhang Bao already hated him to the core, how could he listen to his nonsense, and the spear in his hand pierced his chest and abdomen without saying a word.

On the other side, Guan Xing also rushed to the front, his hand raised and fell, and before the expression on Zhu Bao's face changed, he had already cut off his head with a knife!

"I killed people!"

"I took the head!"
