After Hu Chuquan returned to the camp with the troops, he didn't care about the injuries on his body, and shouted: "Pass the order, let Fang Ming come and see." ”

"Da Danyu, the minion is back."

The words fell, and Fang Ming's weak voice came from outside the tent.

The curtain of the tent was rolled up, and Fang Ming's figure appeared. Fang Ming stumbled in, his hair was fluffy, his face was dark, and the clothes on his body were also torn apart, revealing the cotton clothes he wore inside. Hu Chuquan took a closer look and found that Fang Ming's two mustaches were curled, and the three short whiskers under his chin were even more sparse.

Seeing this, Hu Chuquan was also happy, he didn't expect Fang Ming to be so miserable.

Hu Chuquan smiled and asked, "Fang Ming, what's wrong with you?" ”

Fang Ming's face showed a look of horror, and he sighed: "Da Danyu, the slave was blown up by the gadgets thrown by the Shu army, and the war horse under the crotch was blown up, and the slave became like this. Fortunately, the slave was not killed by the explosion. ”

Hu Chuquan laughed, very happy.

Immediately, his face became gloomy, and he said, "Today's soldiers have suffered countless casualties, how do you explain it?" ”

Fang Ming knew that he couldn't dodge, so he knelt on the ground with a thud and said, "Da Danyu, the minions didn't expect that the Shu army would have so many means and such a domineering weapon. They have explosive weapons and are not afraid of our attacks. Fortunately, the Shu army is not strong enough and there are no cavalry, otherwise we would be in danger. ”

Hu Chuquan frowned and said, "You mean a temporary truce and no troops." ”

Fang Ming immediately said: "Big single Yu Yingming!" ”

Hu Chuquan sighed, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, then let's stop fighting, after today's battle, the soldiers are panicked, and they are already afraid of the Shu army from the bottom of their hearts, and they are not suitable for war." We stayed in the camp and waited for Liu Bao and Qubei to defeat the Shu army, and after leading the army back, we would join forces to attack the Shu army. ”

Fang Ming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, knowing in his heart that it would be fine.

……

Liu Bao led the army to attack Feng Yijun, but only entered the territory and did not achieve fruitful results. At this time, Hu Chuquan's order came, asking him to withdraw to Niyang County. Although Liu Bao was reluctant, he did not dare to disobey the order, and quickly retreated with 10,000 elite horsemen. After the army withdrew to Northland County, it quickly hurried forward.

"Report!!"

When the army was on their way, a scout ran quickly in front of Liu Bao. Liu Bao was extremely burly, his eyes were like lightning, he looked at the scout and asked, "What's the news?" ”

The scout replied, "Back to King Zuoxian, there are more than a hundred bandits on the hillside ten miles ahead. ”

Liu Bao's expression was cold, and he asked in a deep voice, "How is the road down the hill?" ”

The scout recalled it carefully, and said loudly: "The road is extremely wide, and it will not be blocked. ”

Liu Bao said in a deep voice: "The road under the hillside can allow the army to rush quickly, even if there are more than 100 bandits on the small dirt slope, there is no need to worry. Don't bother with them. Continue to rush back to Niyang County as soon as possible. ”

The scout turned and walked away, quickly leaving.

Liu Bao continued to advance with 10,000 elite horsemen, and soon approached the hillside of the scout's report.

As far as the eye could see, the hillside was silent, and no one was found.

Liu Bao got the news from the scout and knew the situation on the hillside. He sneered twice, but did not disturb the bandits, because more than a hundred bandits were not worth his shot, and the hillside stood alone beside the road, even if there was a little woods to cover it, it was impossible to hide the army, and there was a wide road under the hillside, and it was impossible to set up an ambush.

Such a situation is not a cause for concern.

Liu Bao didn't have time to stay, and continued to hurry.

When the Hun cavalry continued to run, heads popped up on the hillside.

These people were dressed in shabby ragged clothes, completely dressed as bandits. But this group of people was not a bandit, but a soldier under Tai Shici's command.

Because of the small number of people, Liu Bao will not care, even if it is discovered, it will not affect Tai Shici's follow-up plan. One of them stared at the Huns who were hurrying down the hillside and shouted, "Prepare gunpowder!" ”

In an instant, more than 100 soldiers took gunpowder, lit it, and threw it down the hillside.

Bags of gunpowder flew out of the hillside and fell into the Hun cavalry.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Immediately after the gunpowder hit the ground, an explosion occurred.

More than 100 bags of gunpowder exploded at the same time, and although less than a thousand Hun cavalry were killed, the team was affected and the formation was disrupted. In particular, the frightened war horses caused confusion among the Hun cavalry.

The soldiers on the hillside continued to throw gunpowder, continuously.

The explosions continued.

The ranks of the Hun cavalry became more and more chaotic.

Liu Bao looked back at the chaotic team behind him, with a solemn look in his eyes. He ordered the army to stop and stand ready for it, lest it become more and more disorganized. However, the gunpowder caused the cavalrymen to turn on their backs, and they could not control it at all. Liu Bao's eyes rolled, and he roared again: "Continue to hurry, rush over." ”

The soldiers are chaotic, and the only way to avoid chaos is to rush over quickly, as long as they pass this place.

When Liu Bao ran forward, a group of Shu soldiers appeared on the horizon in front of him.

This Shu army has 20,000 people, and the leader is a general wearing a white robe, holding a big iron spear, and riding a big black horse under his crotch. This person is none other than Tai Shici. He did not set up an ambush, but charged the Hun cavalry head-on. Tai Shi Ci looked at Liu Bao and shouted: "Liu Bao, Tai Shi Ci has been waiting here for a long time, let's die!" ”

"Kill!"

Tai Shi Ci shouted violently and led the army to charge.

Taking advantage of the confusion of the Hun cavalry, they immediately rushed forward.

Tai Shi Ci knew that the soldiers of the Xiongnu were all cavalry and difficult to break, so the soldiers he led were divided into four phalanxes, each with 5,000 soldiers, all armed with big guns. Even if such a phalanx encounters cavalry, it has the strength to fight.

Liu Bao saw Tai Shi Ci killing, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer.

It doesn't matter what kind of phalanx you are, his cavalry can still kill it. Even if the ranks were disorganized, the Hun cavalry would rush forward when they saw the enemy. Liu Bao brandished a steel knife and led the army to meet Tai Shici.

In an instant, the two armies met.

The Hun cavalry collided with the pikemen, and the tip of the spear immediately pierced into the body of the war horse, making a popping sound.

At the same time, the spear stabbed countless cavalrymen and poked the Hun cavalry under their horses.

The spear array blocked the first wave of attacks of the Hun cavalry, but the soldiers in the front row of the phalanx were also thrown into confusion and were even killed by the cavalry who rushed up. Fortunately, the soldiers in the army were all trained and did not panic, and immediately soldiers made up for it, filled the gap, and continued to block the charging Hun cavalry.

The Shu army phalanx advanced slowly, and the Huns continued to rush and kill.

Casualties are increasing on both sides, and there is no winner or loser.

Liu Bao let out a low snort, and the steel knife in his hand was raised and slashed down.

The steel knife with a piercing whistling sound was terrifying.

Tai Shici's expression remained unchanged, and with a wave of the iron spear in his hand, he easily broke Liu Bao's attack. He shook the barrel of the gun, making the tip of the gun shake, like a twinkling star, but it was very fierce, revealing a cold killing intent, which made Liu Bao's face change greatly.

As soon as he and Tai Shici fought, they immediately understood the gap between the two sides.

Liu Bao has brute strength, but Tai Shici is strong and has superb marksmanship, which is far from being something that Liu Bao can defeat.

Liu Bao made a quick decision, swung it to feint against Tai Shici, and then took the opportunity to retreat.

Tai Shici saw Liu Bao retreating, but he didn't chase after him immediately, but stuck the iron spear beside him, took out an iron tire bow from his waist with his right hand, and took out two bows and arrows from the pocket on the horse's back with his left hand and put them on the bowstring. Tai Shici stared at Liu Bao who was retreating, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Buzz!"

The bowstring vibrates, and the bow and arrow come out of the string.

Two sharp bows and arrows pierced the air and headed straight for Liu Bao's back.
