Zhang Liao and Guo Jia stood on the top of the mountain, and saw more than 200 scouts out of Xuanyuan Pass from a distance, moving quickly eastward along the rugged mountain road, some on foot, climbing mountains and mountains, and some riding horses, wrapped in horses' hooves. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is Zhang Liao's combat style, whenever he goes, he must first release scouts to explore the roads and enemy situations in the vicinity. This time, the scout task is heavier, and it is also necessary to investigate the distribution of Li Min's soldiers and horses in Yangcheng and the route of sneaking out troops to Yangzhai.

Zhang Liao synthesized the experience and skills of rangers and hunters, and set up training items for the scout camp such as riding, lurking, listening to sounds, observing the enemy's situation, finding water sources, ranging, drawing, sand tables, and making a simple compass.

Therefore, in terms of combat effectiveness, the scout battalion is inferior to the Tiger battalion, but in terms of adaptability and overall quality, it is the best among all battalions. Similarly, scouts are also the most well-paid, equipped with the fastest horses and the best equipment.

Moreover, the scout battalion is mobile, and Zhang Liao set a rule that each other battalion can nominate an elite to enter the scout battalion every month for training, and after three months, if they pass the test, they can return to each battalion to serve as a commander and team leader and other grass-roots generals, so that the quality of the grass-roots generals of the entire army will be greatly improved.

If the quality of grassroots generals is enhanced and their command is effective, the entire army will be strengthened several times in terms of its ability to fight in a coordinated formation, the ability to fight in small groups, and the ability to conduct surprise attacks and melee operations at night.

Watching the scouts disappear into the mountain road, Guo Jia couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Just looking at the scout camp, you can know that the lord has the essence of the art of war."

"Oh?" Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing and said, "Why did Feng Xiao say this?"

Guo Jiadao: "The art of war has clouds, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and one cannot be defeated in a hundred battles, Jia thinks that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the foundation of all kinds of art of war, otherwise even if there is wisdom through the sky, there is no basis, how to draw a strategy?" And the lord pays so much attention to the scout camp, whether it is the scale or the training, it is unprecedented, only knowing himself and the other, he is far superior to the other princes, it is the battle of Hanoi and the battle of sour dates, defeating the enemy in one fell swoop, there is no luck! ”

Zhang Liao couldn't help laughing, being praised by Guo Jia for being so talented, it really felt different.

……

In Chenggao County, on the second day of the arrival of the Dadu Huzhen, he convened the generals such as Zhonglang General Lu Bu and Governor Huaxiong to discuss and arrange troops.

After Hu Zhen finished arranging his troops, Lu Bu below was a little unhappy, judging from the deployment of troops, Hu Zhen clearly marginalized him.

Hu Zhen didn't care about Lu Bu's thoughts at all, and after arranging the troops, he was about to disperse the generals, Hua Xiong suddenly said: "Yu Dadu Protector, the sons and daughters have been aggrieved in the empty city of Luoyang for a long time, and there are a lot of complaints, and now the group of thieves in the Kanto region is thousands of miles away, Yingchuan is only a hundred miles away from us, Yuzhou Assassin Shi has just died, Yingchuan is empty, we can take the opportunity to rush into Yingchuan, loot freely, rob the property and women, and also give the children morale to deal with the war!" ”

Hu Zhenyin's face moved, and he nodded: "I have already had this idea, but I can go back quickly!" ”

Hua Xiong couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Most of them protect the wise!" ”

On the side, Lu Bu's eyes also lit up, and he hugged his fists and said: "Dadu protects, and a certain is also ......."

Hu Zhen interrupted him and said coldly: "Lu Zhonglang still stays in Chenggao, Xiangguo ordered us to be stationed at this pass, how can there be a trace of slackness!" If you accidentally lose the defense, don't blame Bendu to protect and cut off a green ribbon to correct military law! ”

Lu Bu didn't expect Hu Zhen to be so blatantly pressed on him, he couldn't help but be furious, clenched his fists, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and then he retreated helplessly.

Hu Zhen saw Lu Bu retreat, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, the position of Liangzhou soldiers under the command of Xiangguo is unshakable, and it seems that not all Bingzhou people are like Zhang Liao's shaft...... Thinking that Zhang Liao actually beat him at the beginning, Hu Zhen's heart is still full of resentment and disbelief!

In Hu Zhen's opinion, as an external force, it is normal for Bingzhou soldiers to be as aggrieved and begging for the whole as Lu Bu under Dong Zhuo, Zhang Liao is really stunned! But he was beaten by that dumbfounded! What a shame! Even the position of Zhonglang General was lost, if it weren't for Xiangguo's appointment of him as the protector of the capital this time, he and Lu Bu would not know who was in charge of whom.

Hu Zhen was extremely repulsive to the Bingzhou soldiers, and originally despised Lu Bu for killing the Lord for glory, but now because of Zhang Liao, he is even more disgusted with the Bingzhou people. Seeing Lu Bu's angry but aggrieved appearance, his heart was very happy!

On the third day, Hua Xiong took 2,000 elite cavalry out of the revolving gate pass early in the morning and galloped to Yingchuan like a tiger and wolf.

Along the way, when passing by Xingyang and Jingxian, he saw that the two counties and the four fields were intact, Hua Xiong couldn't help laughing loudly on the horse: "Zhang Liao Xiao'er, it is really a woman's kindness, how can such a plastered place be handed over to the Kwantung thieves, and when I come back, I will loot this place and enrich the military rations!" Grab some more women, there are still 10,000 sons in the gate who are hungry and thirsty, hahahaha! ”

A group of Hu soldiers followed him and laughed uncontrollably, looking at the county houses along the way, as if looking at prey.

The cavalry was fast, but in two hours, they arrived at Mi County, which was adjacent to Yingchuan, and saw from a distance that the city gate was closed and the soldiers in the city were waiting.

Hua Xiong couldn't help laughing: "Go around!" ”

The two thousand Hu cavalry turned around when they boarded, bypassed the city of Mixian City, and went directly south, rushing towards Yingchuan.

On the upper floor of Mixian City, the guard general saw that Hu Qi actually passed around the city, and he was in a hurry, and ordered to open the city gate and rushed out.

Led the soldiers in the city to rush out hundreds of steps, Hua Xiong couldn't help laughing wildly when he saw this: "The thieves are in the plan, the city gate has been opened, return to the horse, kill the past!" "After all, this person is a battleground with a lot of means, far from being comparable to these guards who have not experienced battle.

A group of Hu horses back on horseback, screaming and rushing towards the city gate, the Mixian guards hurriedly retreated into the city, but there was no time.

However, there was a horse trap outside the gate of Mixian County, and Hu Cai, who rushed over, lost nearly 100 horsemen when he boarded, Hua Xiong couldn't help but be furious, and ordered Hu Cai not to retreat, and went straight through, rushing straight into the city, and slashing the defenders.

There are 1,000 guards in Mi County, but the guards made a mistake, so that the Qiang Hu soldiers rushed into the city, how can these recruits be worthy of the fierce Qiang Hu soldiers, trampled by the cavalry countless times, the dead and wounded, the city of Mi County was bloody, and even the guards who rushed over were also killed by Hua Xiong.

The loss of Mi County was only a matter of half an hour, and many heads had already been hung on the horses of the Qiang Hu soldiers, and many people who had not had time to hide on the road were also cut down.

Seeing many Hu soldiers clamoring to rush into private houses, and Hu soldiers robbing women, Hua Xiong laughed and shouted: "This is just a small city, not enough attachment!" Yingchuan is even richer! Hamu, take 200 people to guard this place, and the rest of the people will go to Yingchuan with a certain person! ”

"Whew!" A group of Hu soldiers couldn't help laughing.

An hour later, Hua Xiong led 1,700 Hu cavalry to rush through the Shanshan Road and enter the territory of Yingchuan. (To be continued.) )
