Sun Qing and Wang Dang led the troops to attack the fortress, and the 10,000 Persians were not prepared at all, and the fortress was successfully captured by the Han army. Zhang Yan checked the flying army, more than 100 people were injured, but fortunately no one was killed, he felt comforted in his heart, and hurriedly rushed to report to Liu Ze.

Liu Ze reported the great joy and gathered his subordinates to discuss, Liu Ye said: "Your Majesty, the fortress has been conquered, the road to Zagros Mountain has been opened, and it is time to wave the army to attack Behisdon directly, and the troops will besiege Ctesiphon." However, the mountain road is narrow, and if the enemy army sets up ambushes in the mountains on both sides, it will be very disadvantageous to our army. ”

Xu Huang said angrily: "The last general is willing to be the vanguard, sweep the road, and clear the ambush soldiers. ”

Liu Ze said: "The mountains of Zagros are steep, and when the Persians learned that the fortress was overcome, they must set up an ambush in the mountains. Gongming must be careful, I ordered Zilong to lead the army behind to respond. ”

Xu Huang said: "Thank you for the emperor's care, the minister will go and set off." ”

Liu Ye said: "Gongming and slow, let me ask you, if you encounter an ambush, how to take measures?" ”

Xu Huang said with a smile: "With the help of the Wudang Flying Army, I will probe the enemy, and the Persians will definitely have nothing to hide, and when the time comes, they will deal with it on the spot, and there will be no return to kill him." ”

Liu Ye laughed and said: "Gongming is well versed in the art of war. ”

Xu Huang clenched his fists and resigned, ordered 20,000 horses, and went straight to Zagros Mountain. Zhao Yun then led 10,000 elite horsemen to respond.

The defeated soldiers of the fortress staggered all the way to Behistown, and the defender Gonzaro learned of the situation, and was shocked and frightened, what means did the Han army rely on to capture the fortress overnight? After conjecturing for a long time, I couldn't figure out the slightest clue, thinking that the fortress was lost, and the Han army would definitely take the opportunity to attack Bechiston, and the mountain road was crooked, so why not set up a few ambushes and inflict heavy damage on the Han army, so that it would not dare to covet my city.

Gonzalo immediately found the generals under his command, and ordered the deputy generals A, B, C and D, four people, each with 3,000 men and horses, to choose a place to set up an ambush. The four deputy generals of A, B, C and D, heard that it was an ambush of the Han army, and such a battle was too easy to fight, so they rushed to point up the soldiers and horses one by one, and went to choose the ambush location without mentioning it.

Xu Huang is a cautious and cautious person, among the 20,000 horses, there are 5,000 people in the flying army. Xu Huang recruited all the captains of the Wudang Flying Army, secretly instructed the opportunity, and the 5,000 men and horses were divided into ten teams, carrying equipment for climbing mountains and mountains, and climbed the mountains on both sides. Xu Huang led the troops to follow slowly.

Besides, the first team of the Wudang Flying Army, Captain Hu Hai, is the ranger that Wang Ping made friends with that day. Hu Hai led 500 people through the dense forests on the top of the mountain, stopping from time to time to check, and waited until he confirmed that there was no danger before continuing to set off. For three days in a row, Wudang Feijun did not find anything. When night came, Hu Hai was wrapped in a thin quilt, looking at the faint moonlight through the dense forest, a little stunned. Could it be that General Xu's estimate is wrong? How is it that after walking for three days, I haven't noticed a single movement of the Persians? Hu Hai predicted that starting from the fortress and arriving at Bechiston, the mountain road would take two days, and the high mountain would only take about five or six days to climb the mountain, and with the speed of the Wudang Flying Army, it would only take about five or six days, and now that three days have passed, doesn't the enemy have the slightest intention of setting up an ambush?

Hu Hai was thinking wildly, a sentry soldier gently pushed him, Hu Hai was stunned, and said softly: "What did you find?" ”

The sergeant said, "Captain, in the dense forest ahead, I occasionally see a fire shining. ”

"What?" Hu Hai was excited, turned around, grabbed the soldier and said, "Take me to see it." ”

The soldier led Hu Hai to the edge of a mountain cliff, pointed to the distance and said: "The fire is coming from the front, and the villain estimates that it is only five miles away from here." ”

Hu Hai's eyes widened, and when he looked carefully, sure enough, in the dense forest ahead, a little fire flashed from time to time, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't find it at all. Hu Hai patted the soldier's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother is a careful person, Lao Tzu will give you a credit." ”

The soldier smiled: "It's not thanks to the captain's good teaching on weekdays. ”

Hu Hai stopped talking, stared at it for a moment, wrinkled his nostrils suddenly, and a very faint fragrance penetrated, Hu Hai knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Damn Persians, at this time, they haven't forgotten to smoke the Dragon and Tiger Pill, I really don't know what kind of fool their general is." Brother, quietly wake up the brethren, Lao Tzu wants to eat these Persians. ”

Hearing that there was a battle to be fought, the soldier went happily, and after a while, five hundred people packed up and gathered around Hu Hai. Hu Hai said with a smile: "Our brother searched for three days, and his grandmother finally found the trace of these turtle sons. Brothers, follow Lao Tzu quietly and kill them, we will do a great job. ”

The five hundred people lifted their spirits one by one and followed Hu Hai down the mountain. The firelight looked very close, and it took a lot of effort to get up, and when Hu Hai and his party touched the Persians approaching, the moon shadow was slanting westward, hanging in the western sky.

Hu Hai made a gesture, and more than a dozen capable soldiers did not say a word, holding a dagger in their mouths, hiding their bodies with the help of trees, and quietly touched the side of the Persian sentry, stood up silently, covered the sentry's mouth with his left hand, and quickly cut his throat with a dagger with his right hand. A quarter of an hour later, more than a dozen people returned to Hu Hai's side.

Hu Hai asked, "How many people are there in the enemy?" ”

One of the soldiers said, "Captain, there are about 3,000 people. His grandmother drops, there are many soldiers who are smoking Dragon and Tiger Pill, and they are not light. ”

Hu Hai smiled: "Let them cry for a while." Brothers, first quietly kill a batch, and once they are alarmed, even crossbows and gunpowder packets will attack together, and they will be caught off guard. ”

Five hundred men scattered like cheetahs and entered the camp of the Persians. Except for the occasional flash of red light, the camp snored. Hu Hai's movements were agile, his steps were extremely light, and he killed more than a dozen people in an instant, when a wail appeared out of thin air, and the Persian camp was suddenly in chaos. It turned out that a Persian soldier was about to get up at night, when a bright knife slashed over, and the Persian soldier suddenly turned sideways, dodging a knife in the neck, but was slashed on the shoulder by a big knife, and only then did he let out a wail.

Hu Hai shouted: "Brothers, you can kill Lao Tzu with all your might." Then he kicked down a Persian soldier, took the crossbow in his right hand, and shot an arrow, killing the Persian soldier.

Seeing that the five hundred flying soldiers had been exposed, the broadsword was inserted back into the scabbard, and the crossbow was pulled out, and a burst of fire was fired. The Persians were in turmoil, and the lieutenant general A shouted loudly for the soldiers to approach him. Adjutant General A was also sad enough, before the roar was finished, dozens of gunpowder packets were thrown over, explosions sounded, and there was no one standing there.

The three thousand Persians, most of whom had been killed or wounded by this point, saw that the living were not their heads, and quickly rushed into the dense forest, panicking like a lost dog, and soon disappeared. Soon, however, wails rang out in the distance, and I don't know how many Persian soldiers had fallen or fallen into the mountain stream.

Under the command of Hu Hai, the Wudang Fei Army won a great victory, and Hu Hai quietly made a gesture to those who surrendered on their knees, and then these people were driven to the depths of the dense forest one by one and dealt with quietly. There's no way, Hu Hai and the others are clearing the ambush, and it's impossible to bring a group of captives who are addicted to smoking.

After not sleeping well all night, Hu Hai ordered the brothers to rest for a long time, and another team of Wudang Feijun rushed over. Shi Long, the captain of the other team, said with a smile: "Hu Hai, you turtle son, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu will rob you of your credit?" ”

Hu Hai scolded: "Lao Tzu, as the captain of the first team, of course he has to be in front of your turtle son." ”

Shi Long shouted: "Your turtle son has already made meritorious contributions, and some good deeds have been left for the brothers." ”

Hu Hai laughed and said: "If you have the ability to earn it yourself, Lao Tzu won't let you." ”

Shi Long scolded: "You turtle son, when will this competitive character change?" Lao Tzu is gone, I won't talk to you anymore. ”

Hu Hai scolded: ", the next credit belongs to Lao Tzu." Are you right, brothers? ”

Hu Hai's subordinates shouted together, "Yes." ”

Shi Long scolded and ran to the front of his team, and said loudly: "Cheer up Lao Tzu, run faster, you can't lose to Hu Hai's turtle son this time." ”

Watching Shi Long's team leave, Hu Hai waved his hand, led his subordinates, diverted into other routes, and hurried away.

The four-way ambush arranged by Gonzaro never expected that the Han army would be reluctant to seek the near and far, and sent the Wudang Fei Army to investigate all the way from the top of the mountain. The ambush was detected by the Wudang Flying Army in turn, either by force or by skill, and countless remnants of the defeated soldiers fled back to Bechston. Seeing that he had lost two lieutenant generals and lost nearly 10,000 soldiers, Gonzalo secretly disturbed his scalp, thinking about how the Han army could have such tactics, so that his clever plan was seen through, so that he returned defeated. After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't figure out the slightest clue, so I had to cheer up and prepare for defense.

Xu Huang followed all the way, and successfully came to the city of Bechiston, and when he saw the city built between the mountains and the main road, he couldn't help frowning. When Gonzaro saw the Han army's troops, he wanted to be brave and led his troops to battle, and the deputy general Yi Bing tried hard to persuade him. Gonzalo did not listen, but led three thousand men out of the city gates, and waited in procession.

Outside the city of Behistown is a mountain road, and there is no way to put more people and horses, and 3,000 people is already the limit. When Xu Huang saw the enemy army out of the city, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, raised his big axe, and killed him. Gonzaro was conceited and heroic, raised his gun to meet the battle, less than three times, was cut off by Xu Huang's axe, Gonzaro had weak arms, the tiger's mouth burst, and he fled back to his horse. Xu Huang chased after him, and a rain of arrows came from the Persian array, so he had to swing his axe to hit the arrows and slowly retreat.

Gonzalo fled back to his camp and shouted, "Return to the city quickly." ”

Xu Huang swung the plate axe, and a number of bed ballistas were launched in the formation, and the iron arrows screamed, shooting towards the enemy. The Persians had long heard of the power of the bed crossbow, which was so hard that it could run faster than a rabbit.

The Han army formed positions outside the city of Bechiston and prepared for a strong attack. Xu Huang checked the terrain and secretly thought that there were too many soldiers to attack and lose, and it seemed that this credit was going to be given to Zhang Yan's flying army again.
