Fifty thousand Hu cavalry appeared on both sides of Liu Fan.

Now even if the soldiers under Liu Fan's command want to run, it is too late.

Only by entering Longshan, relying on the topography of Longshan, and dealing with them.

"Prime Minister, I got the news that the Xiliang rebels are fighting with General Zhengxi in Datani."

Xu Huang said to Liu Fan.

"Ohtani?"

Liu Fan frowned and muttered.

"Otani is in the Longshan Mountains, which are settled on the border of Tianshui. To the south of the Bird's Clan. The terrain of this place is very unfavorable to our army, and the enemy is obviously tempting our army to advance. ”

Xu Huang explained to Liu Fan.

"If Zhengxi runs to the Great Valley, he will fight to the death. The traitor wants to cover up, and the general of Zhengxi is likely not to be in Otani, and the traitor just wants to seduce the prime minister. ”

Xun You, who was on the side, said to Liu Fan.

"I came to rescue Huang Zhong for the first purpose. If Huang Zhong wasn't in Dagu, where would he be? ”

It's been several days, and Liu Fan is a little worried about Huang Zhong in his heart.

"Prime Minister, the scouts I sent out looked for the traces of the battle between General Zhengxi and the traitors, and slowly discovered the escape route of General Zhengxi. If the prime minister leads a large army to look for it, he will definitely be able to find General Huang Zhong, but there are some risks. ”

Xu Huang said to Liu Fan.

"Since the enemy army lured us with Otani, then the enemy's heavy forces must be placed in Otani. Although it is impossible for us to break out of the encirclement of the enemy army, if Huang Zhong is still holding on, it is better for us to save Guang Huang Zhong first. ”

Liu Fan felt that he would do what Xu Huang said.

Then he ordered 80,000 soldiers to start entering Longshan.

Due to the fact that some roads around Longshan were a little narrow, Liu Fan made perfect arrangements for the marching army.

He first arranged 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and ran in the direction of Huang Zhong.

And Liu Fan put the strong crossbows of the whole army in the rear army. Once the enemy army suddenly approached, he released a strong crossbow and blocked the 50,000 Hu cavalry in the rear.

If you only guard against the front, you will be forced into by these 50,000 Hu iron cavalry, which will be very harmful to Liu Fanjun.

When walking to the depths of Longshan, Liu Fan found that the deeper he went, the more mountains there were, and the higher the terrain.

Unlike other mountains, the Longshan Mountains had large open spaces in the wilderness at intervals, making it not so difficult for the soldiers to march.

A day later, the scouts of the army had told Liu Fan that Huang Zhong had probably been found, but there was a large battalion stationed there, guarded by tens of thousands of soldiers.

After Liu Fan got the news, he was overjoyed!

After confirming that there was no ambush for hundreds of miles around, Liu Fan ordered Xu Chu and Dian Wei to lead the Dragon Bird Guard and rush into Huang Zhong's location.

He didn't send other soldiers and horses, because he was afraid that other soldiers and horses would be too slow and let the traitors notice.

In the entire Longshan, not only Liu Fanjun arranged a large number of spies, but even Li Dao, Guo Yan, Han Sui, and Ma Teng also sent a large number of spies to investigate Liu Fan's every move.

Now Liu Fan's every move is controlled by Han Sui, Li Dao and others.

The Xiliang spies had already understood that Liu Fan was likely to find Huang Zhong, so they ran over non-stop to report to Han Sui and the Xiliang general who was guarding Huang Zhong.

But the one-man and two-horse dragon bird guard also ran with full firepower.

Everyone rode on sturdy horses, and although the whole army marched together, the speed was surpassed by the Western Liang scouts, who were faster than the horses.

……

On this mountain, Huang Zhong's dry food has been used for two days, which means that the soldiers have been hungry for two days and two nights.

Fortunately, there is a slope pond on the mountain, otherwise Huang Zhong and the others would definitely not be able to bear it.

Because when they first went up the mountain, the enemy army was in a hurry to catch up, and there was no time for the Han army to lead the war horse up the mountain.

But there were also more than a dozen sturdy war horses that followed Huang Zhong up the mountain, and one of them was Huang Zhong's purple fire horse.

There were only a dozen horses left, and Huang Zhong was reluctant to kill them.

But at this time, Huang Zhong made a decision to kill the horse to satisfy his hunger.

"Although the enemy army has not attacked in the past two days, I have been observing the enemy army all along. The enemy army under the mountain originally had 100,000, but now I observe, at most 10,000. I thought about it for a while, it is always not the way to hold here, this is deviated from the right path, and reinforcements may not be able to find us. I thought about it for a while, and decided to kill all the eighteen war horses, and after the soldiers were full, I went down the mountain to break through and fight to the death with the rebels under the mountain. A strong person is always a strong man, even if there is no war horse, he is still a strong man. ”

Huang Zhong summoned all the soldiers of the Han army and said to them.

After days of fighting, exhausted, and if you don't look for a way, you will be trapped to death sooner or later.

"Fight to the death, fight to the death."

The soldiers of the Han army shouted sporadically, looking weak.

I haven't eaten for two days, so it's strange to have the strength.

Hearing that Huang Zhong was going to kill the horse, his eyes glowed green.

"The general's purple fire BMW is among the eighteen horses, does the general have to endure the pain and kill the purple fire!"

Suddenly, someone thought of this stubble and asked Huang Zhong.

"Alas! Our army has more than 2,000 soldiers and eighteen horses, and I don't know if there is enough to eat! ”

Huang Zhong sighed and said, although his words were casual, his tone could not hide his sadness.

Zihuo BMW is like a brother with him, crisscrossing the desert and grassland with him.

I still remember that when he was guarding the border fortress, he would ride a purple fire BMW to patrol the fortress every afternoon, and he would return at dusk. Purple Fire witnessed his exploits.

He won't kill a horse unless he has to.

But at this point there is no way back. It was the time to encourage the soldiers to break through, all the horses were killed, should one of his horses be kept?

"Seventeen fat and strong horses are enough for our army! Why do you need to do anything disrespectful to the prime minister? ”

Ge Xuan also got up with a lance, and said loudly: "Zihuo is Xianbei and is alone on the mount, and the prime minister conquered the north and won it. The general bravely crowned the three armies, rewarded! Your war horse was personally rewarded by the prime minister, and if we eat it, isn't it disrespectful to the prime minister? ”

Ge Xuan's words were not only for Huang Zhong, but also for the soldiers.

As Huang Zhong's number one general, Ge Xuan has followed Huang Zhong for many years, he knows that Huang Zhong loves horses like his life, when Huang Zhong first obtained the purple fire horse, Ge Xuan was still Huang Zhong's personal guard, at that time, Huang Zhong pointed to the horse to show off: because of merit, the general gave it.

"This ......"

Huang Zhong was speechless.

"There are many excellent war horses in various horse farms, and the general's BMW is not one in ten thousand. Killing one more horse, thousands of us are just eating an extra piece of meat, and it is even more disrespectful to the prime minister. Please leave the BMW behind and kill only the rest. We understand the general's thoughts, and when we will go down the mountain to kill the enemy, we will not be afraid to fight because we eat one less piece of meat. ”

Another lieutenant persuaded Huang Zhong.

After Huang Zhong listened to the persuasion, he only slaughtered seventeen horses.

In the morning, the soldiers dismembered the horse's body and ate it equally.

Whether you are full or not, you feel like you are very full.

One by one, they polished their spears and ringed swords, waiting for Huang Zhong's instructions.

Since there was surveillance everywhere, as soon as they went down the mountain, the enemy troops would find out.

Therefore, Huang Zhong did not use the method of sneak attack, and one soldier after another went down the mountain in an orderly manner, wanting to fight to the death with the enemy!
