Jishui originally flowed through Fengqiu and the south of Yangwu City, and then flooded, and opened a separate one from the north of the city, called "Beiji", and the north and south encompassed these two important towns on the border of this division. In addition, Langdang water flows from the south, passes through Bianshui, Jishui, and is injected into Beiji, this section is called "Yin Gou Water", just between Fengqiu and Yangwu.

In the dark sky, it is just a matter of marching on flat ground, and when there is a deep ditch, it is really impossible to pass, and the beggar army is forced to set up camp.

But before that, Chen Chuan had secretly left the team, led more than a dozen cronies, all on horseback, feeling the dark, and hurriedly fled to the west - he knew that if he fell into the hands of the Yuzhou army, there was still a way to live, and if he met the Xuzhou army, he would definitely die - as a result, he ran into the Hu Han army led by Liu Yi, Liu Dan and others. Chen Chuan was tied to the front, immediately bowed his head and bowed, proclaimed that he was willing to surrender, and informed Liu Dan of the intelligence of the Xuzhou army-

"It's the Xuzhou striker who is chasing the villain, but there are only a thousand people."

Liu Dan was overjoyed, and immediately congratulated Liu Yi and said: "God has used this highness to give our army several times the enemy, and it should be against the ditch water, if it can be completely annihilated, Pei should be bold and dare not step into Sizhou again." When we enter the tun and seal the hill and regain Yangwu, we will become firm and unstoppable. "Wander into the army at night, fight against the enemy army at the time of day.

In fact, in terms of the physical fitness of the soldiers, only Liu Yi's Donggong guards and Liu Dan's cronies can still fight against the Xuzhou soldiers, and the other Hun soldiers, as well as those Di and Qiang servants, even if they often eat meat, are always hungry and full, and the number of night blindness patients also exceeds fifty percent. For those with night blindness, their vision at night will become extremely poor, and even if they are holding torches, they can only barely see their feet clearly, and it is difficult to even maintain a basic formation when walking. However, Liu Dan had a lot of experience in leading the troops, and he gave way to the pawns in front, holding torches high, and pulling each other with ropes, while the cavalry all led their horses to follow, and arrived at the west bank of the ditch water before dawn.

Besides, Lu He, when the enemy situation was unknown, did not dare to suddenly launch an attack on the begging camp in front of him. Guess it, the army that came with torches overnight may be Zu Li's other army, it may be Li Ju from Jingxian County, but it is also possible that Hu Jun has not yet received the news that Hu Jun has entered Henan in a big way, but there are many people attached to Hu in various cities and forts, and there are often guerrillas patrolling nearby on the Hu and Han sides.

However, if the friendly army is still there, it's a big deal that Chen Chuan can't be captured this time, so let's say that we are Xuzhou first and come out to explore the way; If it is an enemy army, it will be six or seven miles away, and it will be difficult to retreat at this time-if the enemy has cavalry, and he will chase after him, and most of my men are foot soldiers, how can he outrun them?

In desperation, he ordered his soldiers to retreat south to camp on the shore of Jishui, and at the same time took advantage of the short time before dawn to dig two shallow trenches in the northwest direction.

When the red sun rose, I saw that in the morning mist, countless flags fluttered on the other side of the ditch water - sure enough, it was Hu Jun, and he couldn't see thousands of people! Lu He was punished.

Fortunately, soon, Xiong Yizhi led his troops to catch up - he was afraid that the credit would be snatched by Lu He alone, so he also marched overnight - the two governors gathered together to discuss, Xiong Yizhi wanted to retreat, Lu He waved his hand and said: "No." The thief rides more, I wait for more steps, there are many plains in all directions, there is no danger to defend, and if you retreat, you will be chased and I would rather die to the enemy, never die against the enemy! ”

Xiong Yizhi paused and said: "The enemy is outnumbered, and there is a chance of victory?" ”

Lu He said that I don't want to win-"But even if we die here, we must kill and injure twice as many thieves as ourselves before we can close our eyes." If you turn around and flee, the 'martial arts battalion' will never be able to raise its head in front of Zhen Manzi! ”

As soon as Zhen Sui was mentioned, Xiong Yizhi couldn't help but be annoyed, and immediately said hatefully: "What the virtuous brother said is good, if you die, you will die, how can there be an immortal general on the Gulai sand banknote?" You can't let that brute get drunk! "But we have too few soldiers, so it's better to send someone to ask for help from the battalion governor and the governor.

Lu He said that I had already scattered a small half of the cavalry back, but-"The high governor is still provoking, and his troops are no more than a thousand, and it is useless to do anything, and even if the governor's army sends light cavalry to help, it should be two days later." Strategy, we stick to the day, take advantage of the dark to retreat to Fengqiu, if Fengqiu is willing to accept me, there will be a way to live, if you don't accept me, you have to retreat to Jinan, with Jishui, another day"

Two thousand against ten thousand—and maybe more—is quite difficult to hold on for two days and two nights. What's especially bad is that they were busy chasing Chen Chuan this time, and they didn't carry enough supplies or have time to build a solid camp. The bear's heart said that if I give me two more hours, I will find a suitable place to set up camp, dig a deeper trench, and refuse the horses to stand up, and I will have the confidence to keep it for a long time!

You said that we are in this danger for the sake of Chen Chuan's head, it is really not worth it, it is not worth this misfortune, why didn't Mr. Peng calculate it in the first place? Or did he foresee it, but I didn't understand the meaning of his words?

——————————

Before dawn, Liu Dan ordered dozens of his cronies to detain Chen Chuan, wade across the ditch water, and enter the begging camp. At this time, there is chaos in the begging camp, many people want to run away at night, and some people say that it is better to simply surrender the Xuzhou army - it is originally a friendly army, and we have no enmity with them. The generals and deputy generals of each team flocked to the big tent, hoping that Chen Chuan would come up with an idea, but no matter how they clamored and shouted, they just didn't see Chen Chuan come out.

Finally, someone suspected that Chen Chuan didn't run away secretly, right? There are also those who are bold, immediately pulled out the knife out of the sheath, and said: "This is all caused by Chen Chuan killing Li Tou" Pei Song has been dead for several years, except for Chen Chuan himself, most people have forgotten about this ballast, besides, who knows what is the relationship between the "Pei Shilang" from Luoyang that day and the "Pei Zhijun" in Xuzhou now - "I might as well tie up Chen Chuan and dedicate it to the official army!" ”

The people next to him hurriedly stopped, saying that Chen Chuan was hateful, but he was Chen Wu's uncle after all, you offended him, Chen Wu still had to cut off your head? The crooked mouth that spoke before: "I will wait to kill Chen Chuan, and then I will go to Yuzhou, or Xuzhou, how can Chen Wu bear me?!" ”

Some people wanted to rush into the camp tent, some people tried their best to stop them, and some people were busy going back to their camp tents to pack their things and were in a panic, when suddenly there was a "hula" sound, dozens of horses rushed out of the shadows, stretched their bows and arrows, and surrounded all these generals. Immediately, a person stepped out of the firelight, carrying his hands behind his back, and his face could not hide his arrogance: "Chen Chuan is here, don't you dare to rebel?!" ”

When there were a few generals holding long knives in their hands, they wanted to rush over and slash Chen Chuan with a knife, but when they glanced at the cavalry behind Chen Chuan, they were all in bright armor, and the white feathers on their helmets trembled - where did Chen Chuan summon the soldiers and horses from? It looks extremely strong!

They gathered themselves in front of the tent and shouted, and few of them noticed the torrent of torches on the other side of the gutter water—the few who had caught a glimpse of it, friend or foe, or greeting their colleagues, had long since disappeared without a trace.

Chen Chuan shouted: "The army of Emperor Hu and Han is on the other side of the ditch, but His Royal Highness the emperor's younger brother personally led the troops, and there are no less than 100,000 troops. How are you waiting? Those who wish to surrender may fall to their knees, and those who do not surrender will die! ”

I heard a military general shouting: "Dog thief, how can Ming Gong Suri tell us and others?" The body can die, but Hu can't descend! As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of the strings, and was shot by an arrow in the chest by a Hu horseman, almost through, blood spurted from his mouth, and he immediately wilted and fell to the ground.

As a result, the generals were all frightened, and immediately fell down - except for the first person who was killed, only two generals refused to surrender and were also killed by Hu Bing. So every two Hu soldiers supervised a general, gathered their soldiers, arranged the formation, and quickly prepared to fight against the Xuzhou army - more than twice as fast as the usual battle.

Immediately, Hu Han's army also crossed the gutter water one after another, and lined up on the south side of the begging army. On the opposite side, Xiong Yizhi, Lu He, and immediately watched from afar, pointed and discussed: "Hu Jun is uneven, and those under the Chinese army seem to be elite, and the rest are not more than Erer." "The two of them are depressed, how can they be so unlucky? But if we are given a little more time, we will first level the begging camp, and then guard according to the gutter water to prevent the Hu army from wading, and this battle will not be so difficult to fight.

Xiong Yizhi sighed: "Today will be a bloody battle! ”

Lu He smiled, Kuan'an said: "Brother, don't I need a singing battle in my 'martial arts battalion'?" Since the formation of the army, the strong enemy is not as strong as we are today" In Wancheng before, the enemy faced by the second battalion of "Lifeng" and "Robbery Fire" is only twice the number, and it is only a few thieves and grass cowards, you look at these enemies in front of you, there are no less than 10,000 people who have crossed the gutter, which is five times that of us - of course, there is the battle of Jiang Jigang before that, but at that time Xiong Yizhi was still a small soldier, and he did not participate in the battle, and Lu He had not yet joined the gang, so he did not mention it.

"The governor said that he who has not been a strong enemy cannot be said to be a strong army. Regardless of victory or defeat today, if the soldiers of this battle can survive, they will be the backbone of our battalion in the future. It's a seed, it's a seed 4 and they're all killed here, as long as they don't steal their lives and escape, in the future, the middle camp will refer to the soldiers and horses of Gao Le's own battalion) Relying on his comrades Yu Ze, they can run rampant before his battalion generals, and Gao Du will also be able to suppress the southern barbarian! ”

Xiong Yizhi originally wanted to persuade Lu He, leaving one-third of the soldiers and horses to contain the Hu army, and the remaining two-thirds should flee quickly. But now that I have listened to Lu He's words, I know that even if I say it, it will be in vain - according to Lu He's meaning, if you escape, even if you survive, what's the use? You have to kill the blood monkey in the corpse mountain, then it can be regarded as a strong soldier seed of the "martial arts battalion"!

He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva: "There is no plan available in this battle, only a fight to the death, and the virtuous brother is stronger than me, so he will hand it over to the virtuous brother to command." ”

Lu He nodded: "Brother sit down, I will go to the front to defend against the enemy, if there is a mistake, Brother can go up again." ”

——————————

Both sides came by at night, and the soldiers were equally tired, so the main force of the Hu army did not immediately launch an attack after crossing the gutter water, but first set up camp and rested a little, and only part of them went forward and lined up in formation. Liu Dan ordered people to cut down trees and temporarily built a simple high oar, and he dragged Liu Yi up to the oar, holding a canopy to watch the Jin army array.

However, the sun had just risen at this time, and Er Liu was facing the sun, which was very dazzling, so after looking at it for a while, Liu Dan bowed slightly: "Although there are only two thousand people, they are elite." Your Highness, please see" and then explained to Liu Yi in detail, how the opponent's formation was arranged, and how to deal with Liu Yi when the various departments were fighting against each other It was not the first time that Liu Yi went into battle, but when he pushed forward, he was only held by Liu Yuan in his lap when he was a teenager, and he had seen the battle from afar. He knew that if he wanted to consolidate his position, he must be proficient in military affairs, so he pricked up his ears and listened eagerly to Liu Dan's teachings.

Listening to this, he couldn't help but be a little worried: "Uncle, I have heard that the elite soldiers can be ten, but now the enemy is not only elite, but we are also old and weak, as well as some captives and thieves, and they are not as many as ten times the enemy, do you have a chance of winning?" ”

Liu Dan twisted his beard and smiled: "Your Highness is too worried." Indeed, if we only have the old and weak, Di and Qiang, I am afraid it will be difficult to be interesting, but there are still the elite soldiers of the headquarters, the guards of the East Palace, and the old man's troops, the total number is not less than 5,000, which is also twice that of the Jin Kou. Decisive victory on the plains, riding Keke foot, I see that the enemy cavalry is less than 100, how can we resist our army? And the enemy is in a tight queue, it can be seen that its generals must have the ability to organize the army, but those who can organize the army may not be able to general, those who can fight bravely may not be able to endure hard fighting, and those who can break the widow may not be able to defeat the cowardice of the Jin people, perhaps when our cavalry rushes, the other formation will be scattered. ”

Liu Yi nodded again and again, but then asked again: "Uncle, the sun is rising, I am standing facing east, and my vision is not very clear." And the queue is not complete, if Jin Kou takes this opportunity to attack first, what should he do? ”

Liu Dan turned his head and smiled at Liu Yi: "If you are outnumbered, your morale will be depressed, where can you dare to take the lead in attacking?" Even when Emperor Guangwen was there, when he encountered this situation, he should stick to it and refuse to come forward" Before the words fell, Liu Yi exclaimed: "The Jin people are moving!" ”

When Liu Dan heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to look, when he was dazzled by Chaoyang, he had to raise his hand to wipe his tears, and at the same time asked Liu Yi: "How many people are out of front of the enemy?" What about the array, the speed? ”

Liu Yi put his hand on the awning, and while observing carefully, he replied: "About four or five hundred people, with spears and swords and shields in the front, and bows in the back, and more than a dozen horsemen in front of them to cover the two wings. ”

Liu Dan said angrily: "Shaft, dare to take a risk I rush to die, Qiang go forward, and scatter it!" ”
