Liu Xusheng hurriedly took out a piece of parchment, quickly explained the situation, and stuffed it to Da Fei. Da Fei circled and flew into the distance, Liu Xusheng didn't dare to delay any longer, so he assigned five hundred men and horses to Fang Yan, and quickly rushed forward with the injured patient horses.

In Wuliang City, Mo Kun sat on top of the government office, so as soon as the soldiers and horses of Xinjun arrived, Mo Kun immediately sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to pursue. Leading the troops and horses was Hu Tianzhuang, a fierce general of Nanping, and Mo Kun believed that the 10,000 cavalry chasing the sick men and horses should be captured. Moreover, Mo Kun warned Hu Tianzhuang that he must capture Shangguan Xuanwu alive.

Zhang Ruming and the others returned to the entrance of Changlin Canyon, and Fang Yan began to order people to dig traps and set up tripwires. Zhang Ruming got into the car, and he didn't know what he was busy with. Before leaving, Zhang Ruming asked Liu Xusheng to leave all the large and small battle flags, and Fang Yan didn't bother to care about him. Time is of the essence, and a few more traps must be laid out. After the arrangement, Fang Yan was just about to give the order to evacuate, when she heard Zhang Ruming shouting.

"Somebody, plant this flag in the middle of the road where you are a stone's throw away, and hang this piece of paper as well. Be careful not to break it, Master Ben just wrote. ”

Fang Yan looked at it, and the paper read, 'There is a trap here', and there is also a letter from Shangguan Xuanwu below.

"Dead fatty, you are sick, and you told people that a trap has been set up here. If you don't help, please don't make trouble. Fang Yan scolded angrily.

"I don't understand, it's called mental tactics. Hurry up, don't delay, it's an order. ”

"Nope."

"Execute the order, who do you listen to, Lao Tzu is the Lord of the Sky Survey Prison." Zhang Ruming said toughly.

Fang Yan glared angrily, and said in her heart that you should die. If it weren't for everyone, she would have wanted to kick it twice.

After planting the battle flag, everyone quickly evacuated and went to the next location to continue to set up an ambush. Fortunately, the passage of Changlin Canyon is narrow, which is conducive to ambush. If it weren't for Mo Kun knowing that this team had lost its combat effectiveness, he really wouldn't dare to send people to chase and kill in the canyon.

The soldiers and horses of Wuliang City began to flee, and on the side of Xuanhua City, after the sky was bright, the army of the Sky Survey was burying pots and cooking, preparing for today's confrontation between the two armies.

As soon as Duan Lang picked up the rice bowl, he heard the chirping of an eagle in the air. Duan Lang was stunned and raised his head in surprise. Da Fei swooped down and landed beside Duan Lang, clutching a piece of parchment in his paws. Duan Lang opened it and looked at it, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Quick, gather all the Commanders to come and discuss the matter."

Duan Lang didn't care about eating, he didn't expect that the soldiers and horses in Wuliang City would be drugged. Now Liu Xusheng and others, who have lost their combat effectiveness, are being chased, and Zhang Ruming and Fang Yan are in the team. Seeing these news, Duan Lang was immediately anxious.

As soon as Zhou Long and the others arrived, Duan Lang explained the situation, and everyone was also shocked. The most troublesome thing is that they can't quench their thirst far away, even if there is no army blocking the mountain pass, the fastest speed will be able to arrive in half a day. If you take a detour to Fulin County on the other side of Changlin Canyon, it will take at least three days.

"My lord, if you can't do it, rush over. No matter what the cost, you have to fight your way to meet them. Huang Zhi said anxiously.

Duan Lang pondered calmly for a moment and shook his head, "The consequences of a hard rush are very serious, and we can't afford to lose." Zhou Wu, is there any way to the nearest Changlin Canyon? ”

"Duan Shuai, in addition to returning to Wuliang City from Jiashan Pass, there is only the other end of the canyon passage. There is no other way to go, even if you go straight to the canyon pass, the war horse will not be able to move forward to Chestnut Town, unless you climb over the Changlin Mountain Range. ”

"Mountains?" Duan Lang's heart moved, "How long does it take to get from here to Chestnut Town?" ”

"According to the route of the scouts, it will take two hours to get there." Zhou Wu said.

Duan Lang thought for a while, "Well, from now on, the entire army will be commanded by Cui Zhiliang and assisted by Zhang Qifeng." I took my personal guards and went directly over the mountains to meet them. ”

Everyone looked at Duan Lang in surprise, and Zhou Wu hurriedly said, "Duan Shuai, we scouts can't explore that mountain range, even if you can cross it, just a dozen of you, I'm afraid~." ”

"Needless to say, even a glimmer of hope has to go. Send a team to bring our horses back, and I'll hear from you for the rest. Zhiliang, a few of you are here to discuss the war, don't act recklessly. ”

Everyone saw that Duan Lang's mind was desperate, and they didn't dissuade him, Cui Zhiliang said, "Duan Shuai, why don't you immediately send 10,000 horses to Fulin County on the other side of Changlin Canyon to respond." On our side, the remaining men and horses are enough to contain the Xining army. ”

Duan Lang thought for a while, "Okay, then Zhou Long and Zhou Hu's camp will go to pick it up." If there is any news, I will let Dafei inform you. ”

After Duan Lang agreed, he immediately summoned Xiang Tiangu Fan and the others, and under the leadership of the two scouts, they quickly rushed towards Chestnut Town. They had the experience of crossing mountains and mountains in Fengluan Mountain, and in any case, Duan Lang had to arrive in the fastest time. Even if there were only nineteen of them, Duan Lang would protect Zhang Ruming and Fang Yan from the Changlin Canyon.

At the entrance of Changlin Canyon, the Nanping army rushed over from the direction of Wuliang City. There was the thin horse manure of the sick horse along the way, and there was no need for scouts to track it, and you could know where the people and horses of Wuliang City were retreating.

Hu Tianzhuang, a fierce general in Nanping, who was moving forward, saw the flag in the middle of the road and raised his hand, "Huh~!" Stop moving forward! ”

The army stopped, and Hu Tianzhuang pointed to the flag, "Go, see what is written on it." ”

One of the guards spurred over and pulled out the flag. Hu Tianzhuang looked at the handwriting on the paper and couldn't help but snort, "Hmph, carving insect skills, don't pay attention to him, give orders, and pursue quickly." Hu Tianzhuang said, throwing the flag aside.

Hu Tianzhuang admires the military advisor Mokun very much, and he believes that the military advisor will not lie to him. In the face of thousands of people and horses, there is no need to watch out for anything.

The Nanping army rushed forward quickly, and as soon as the forward battalion rushed into the entrance of the canyon, they listened to the tom of the cave, and the war horses in front were either stopped by the tripping horse rope or fell into the horse trap. Although there were only two or three horse pits, they suddenly blocked the pace of progress behind.

"Stop moving! Scout Camp ~ Exploring the Way Ahead! Hu Tianzhuang hurriedly ordered the army to stop.

With this lesson, Hu Tianzhuang did not dare to be careless, and released a few scouts to explore the way in front, and the army cautiously followed behind. The Nanping army was caught by the trap set by Fang Yan, and its speed suddenly slowed down.

The army had traveled less than ten miles before the scout spotted a banner in the middle of the road. This time, the flag still says 'There's a Trap Ahead'. Hu Tianzhuang hesitated, but had no choice but to stop the army and order the scouts to investigate carefully. After a closer look, I didn't find any traps at all. Hu Tian cursed angrily and ordered to move on.

Just as the army had just stepped on the place where the flag was planted, on the cliffs on both sides of the road, several Sky Survey soldiers and guards swung their swords to cut off the vines, and huge stones rolled down with the newly cut trees.

"Not good, there is an ambush."

"The forward battalion retreats, crossbowmen, left and right sides, release arrows!" Hu Tianzhuang hurriedly gave an order.

There was a rain of arrows, and there was already no figure on the cliff. At this pass, Zhang Ruming only left a dozen people. Their mission is to cut off the vines and let the rolling wood and thunder stones block the progress of the army. Evacuate immediately after cutting off, even if you can't catch up with the footsteps of the army in front, you can hide in the mountains and forests and not be captured by the Nanping army.

Looking at the rocks and logs piled up in the canyon, Hu Tianzhuang immediately ordered the road to be cleared. These two delays have been delayed for nearly an hour. The canyon passage itself is narrow, and the damage is easy to destroy, but it can be a bit difficult to clean up. In this way, not long after Hu Tianzhuang's army marched forward, he would find a flag. The slogans hanging on the flags have also become varied, and even greetings to the eight generations of the ancestors of the Nanping army. But behind the flag, there will always be some trouble.

Hu Tianzhuang held his breath, so he stopped and stopped, and he couldn't speed up if he wanted to. Unconsciously, half a day was delayed.

Hu Tianzhuang was in a hurry, and Fang Yan was even more anxious than him. The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and several times they hastily set up ambushes, and then hurriedly evacuated. Moreover, the distance between the ambushes is getting shorter and shorter, and Fang Yan also knows that they are getting closer and closer to Liu Xusheng. If it continues, the two sides will converge.

Zhang Ruming's face also became cautious, and he looked at Fang Yan, who was sweating profusely on his forehead, and said.

"Miss Fang, this can't be done, not only will the brothers be physically exhausted, but the pursuers will soon catch up. Otherwise, you take the three hundred brothers and quickly retreat, find a narrow place, and chop more dry wood, and we can only set fire to stop the pursuers. ”

"I thought about using fire to stop it, but now it's the season of rejuvenation, and there is very little hay, let alone trees. Even if we can find some dead wood, I'm afraid we won't have time. Before they could get it set up, they would rush over. In addition, if the fire is not strong, it can be easily extinguished. ”

"It's okay, everyone leave the arrows, just give me two hundred brothers. Rest assured, I'm guaranteed to give you half an hour. When the time comes, when you see my car passing by, you immediately throw dry wood and light the fire. Either way, we'll have to take a chance. ”

"Half an hour? You~ Can you? ”

"Don't worry about it, do what I say. The current obstruction is simply not enough, if we don't drag them down, this canyon is probably where we will be buried. Zhang Ruming looked at Fang Yan with rare seriousness.

Fang Yan hesitated, "Okay, dead fat man, see you or leave, you must take care." ”

Fang Yan knew that Zhang Ruming was right, this kind of petty obstruction could not get Liu Xusheng and them out of pursuit at all. At this rate, they will soon catch up with Liu Xusheng's team. In that case, you can only fight with it.

Zhang Ruming was less than fifteen miles behind him, and Hu Tianzhuang led an army of 10,000 to move forward cautiously. A distance of more than ten miles is nothing for cavalry. Moreover, Hu Tianzhuang found that according to the hurry of the other party's fortification, Hu Tianzhuang knew that the distance between the two sides would not be very far. Otherwise, the other party would not have arranged it in such a hurry. Some of the traps are even clear at a glance.

The army continued on its way, and just then, the scouts who were exploring the way ahead stopped.

Hu Tian's feat looked at it, raised his hand and shouted, "Stop advancing." ”

After Hu Tianzhuang finished speaking, he hit the horse and came to the front of the team. On the canyon passage a stone's throw away from Hu Tianzhuang, a horse-drawn carriage stopped in the center. There were two guards standing under the carriage, and on the carriage, Zhang Ruming looked at Hu Tianzhuang's army with his head held high.

Seeing that the other party's army stopped, Zhang Ruming shouted arrogantly, "Nanping Xiao'er, listen, grandpa has been waiting here for a long time." If you have the ability, let the horse come and fight alone! ”

In the face of Zhang Ruming's provocation, Hu Tianzhuang ignored it, but looked at both sides of the road. Hu Tianzhuang found that the steep slopes on both sides were full of battle flags, as if a large army had long been buried here.

Hu Tianzhuang took a closer look, and a sneer appeared in his eyes.

"Hmph, it's this kind of carving insect skill again, and I dare to take it out to show ugliness."

Hu Tianzhuang pointed his spear and was ready to order the forward battalion to make a sprint and kill this guy who had set them up trouble along the way.
