However, it was said that the Western Expedition army went out of Ningcheng, and Zhang Liao, Jiang Wei, and Feng Xi led 4,000 vanguard troops to take the lead.

The 4,000 vanguard army passed through Jincheng City and Yunwu County all the way and entered Xiping County. Zhang Liao gave the order to slow down the march and send scouts to find out the news in all directions. At dusk, the four thousand vanguard troops came to the city of Broken Qiang, only to see that the gate of the city was wide open at this time, the smoke in the city was billowing out, and the cries and wails in the city resounded through the sky, which was very miserable!

Feng Xi was upright and fierce, seeing this scene, he was furious, slapped his horse and came to Zhang Liao's side, with a sincere expression, and said loudly: "General Zhang, the last general is willing to lead a thousand fine horsemen, as the front, to enter the Broken Qiang City, in order to explore the truth." ”

Zhang Liao saw that Feng Xi and Jiang Wei were full of anger on their faces, and the Han army was even more warlike, and said in a deep voice: "Commanding the three armies, how can you be rash." Anyway, since the soldiers have the same hatred for the enemy, our soldiers will attack and break Qiangcheng in three ways. Since this broken Qiang city is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, the general and Xiu Yuan each led 1,500 troops, respectively from the east gate, the south gate to kill, Bo Yue led an army of 1,000 in the west gate ten miles outside the ambush, when the Qiang thieves were defeated, the ambush army was exhausted, and they would be able to completely annihilate this group of beasts. ”

The three of them acted separately, and for about a quarter of an hour, when the Qiang soldiers in the city were plundering and insulting women, two Han armies entered from the east gate and the south gate. Everywhere the Han army looked, it was a mess. The Han army's eyes were cracked, and they rushed towards the Qiang soldiers with a loud roar. The Qiang soldiers woke up from their stunned moments, and it was too late to organize resistance, so they could only run wildly, and some of them couldn't run, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and the Han army rushed up to be the first sword.

The Qiang soldiers were frightened and scurried everywhere, but now there were only the north gate and the west gate in front of them, and when they escaped from the north gate, they jumped into the Yellow River and drank water until they died. Going out through the West Gate, there may still be a chance to live. I saw that countless Qiang soldiers were either riding horses or running and rushing to the west gate, and without the Han army cutting them, many Qiang soldiers had been trampled to death. The Han army who came to kill at the tail of the tail, when they saw the Qiang soldiers, whether they were dead or not, they stabbed their necks.

By the time Zhang Liao and Feng Xi had broken through the West Gate, there were only more than 1,000 Qiang soldiers, and they were running westward to flee for their lives. Zhang Liao and Feng Xi sometimes intercepted and killed with both wings, and sometimes chased and killed with tails. The Qiang soldiers fled for more than ten miles, and suddenly, a group of men and horses blocked the way in front of them, and the Qiang soldiers saw that there was no possibility of escaping, so they lay on the ground and wailed for their lives. The three Han armies of Zhang Liao, Feng Xi, and Jiang Wei surrounded the Qiang soldiers in the core.

Zhang Liao shouted in a deep voice: "Who is the leader of the army, get up and speak!" ”

A Qiang soldier officer stood up tremblingly and said, "Little ...... Villain Yakta ...... It's ......"

Zhang Liao shouted in a deep voice: "Say, how many Qiang soldiers are there to go west?" Where is the main force of the Qiang soldiers now? ”

Yakta trembled and said: "To the west is Linqiang City, there are about 4,000 people, and the leader is a fellow villain, called Yataiva. Further west is the city of Anyi, and the leader of the army is called Buku Clam, about 7,000 people. The main force of the Qiang soldiers was in the western capital, about 50,000 people, led by Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou. With that, Jacques fell to her knees and begged for mercy.

Zhang Liao glanced around and said in a deep voice: "If anyone can point out Yakta's lies, Ben will spare his life!" ”

The Qiang soldiers cried and told Zhang Liao that Yakta was telling the truth. Zhang Liao nodded and said, "Yakta, Ben will spare your life!" Then he said: "The rest of the Qiang soldiers, slaughter!" ”

As soon as Zhang Liao's voice fell, the Han army rushed up, and the Qiang soldiers were stabbed, and in a moment, the audience was silent, and Yakta looked back and saw that the Qiang soldiers were dead. Jacques Ta wailed, "My lord, the villain is willing to be loyal to my lord. ”

Zhang Liao nodded, and said with a smile: "Since Yataiva of Linqiang City is your fellow countryman, are you willing to help Ben General take Linqiang City?" Jacquetta, nodding like pounding garlic, said yes in a row.

Zhang Liao ordered the Han army to return to Poqiang City first, and at the same time, Pegasus reported the news of Li Mu's here. Two hours later, the Han army had settled the people of Poqiang City, and the statistical report of the battle came out, and the Han army suffered nineteen casualties; beheaded more than 3,600 Qiang soldiers; More than 5,000 horses were seized, and no food, grass and ordnance were counted. Li Mu ordered the Han army to kill the wounded horses, and the Han army had a full meal.

As soon as the time passed, Zhang Liao asked the Han army to change into the clothes of the Qiang soldiers, and the army left the Broken Qiang City, led by Yakta, and arrived in Linqiang City half an hour later. The Qiang soldiers defending the city saw Yakta, and did not suspect him, so they opened the door to let the Han army enter the city. Zhang Liao asked Jiang Wei and Feng Xi to take 3,000 Han troops to the four gates of Linqiang City, and he led 1,000 Han troops to Linqiang City Mansion under the leadership of Yakta.

But he said that Yateva heard from the guards that Yakta was coming, and he came to greet him when he went out, but as soon as he walked up to Yakta, he didn't have time to say hello, and his head was already flying in midair. Just when Yataivar's guards were dumbfounded, a thousand Han soldiers rushed into the yamen and saw that the Qiang soldiers were a messy knife, and in about a quarter of an hour, the three hundred Qiang soldiers and guards became corpses.

Zhang Liao asked Yakta to lead the way to the Qiang soldiers' camp, which was the time of Mao and the time when people slept the deepest. The Han army entered the camp, and began to set fire everywhere, in an instant, the Qiang soldier camp, the fire was everywhere, many Qiang soldiers were still asleep, they had turned into ashes, some Qiang soldiers did not have time to put on clothes, ran out of the camp, and they were greeted by the Han army's big swords and spears.

However, it was said that when the Han army led by Jiang Wei and Feng Xi came to the city wall, they volunteered to keep vigil for the Qiang soldiers. Suddenly, Jiang Wei and Feng Xi saw the flames in the city, and they knew that Zhang Liao had succeeded. The Han army quietly walked to the side of the Qiang soldiers, and stabbed them in the neck, many of the Qiang soldiers died in their sleep, and when the remaining Qiang soldiers reacted, they were already gone. The Qiang soldiers lay on the ground, begging for mercy, and the Han army rushed forward with a knife.

Finally, half an hour later, the battle ended, and all the Qiang soldiers in Linqiang City were wiped out, and no one survived. Zhang Liao sent people to report the situation to Li Mu on the one hand, and counted the results of the battle on the other. Half an hour later, the statistical report came out, and in this battle, the Han army suffered 39 casualties; beheaded more than 4,000 Qiang soldiers; More than 6,000 horses were seized, and no grain, grass and ordnance were counted.

Zhang Liao ordered the Han army, while guarding the four gates of Linqiang City, to carry out a carpet search in the city to prevent spies lurking in the Qiang soldiers. The people of Linqiang City did not react until the end of this battle. Just after the hour, the people who flocked to the palace came to the palace and knelt down to thank the Han army.

Zhang Liao looked at the people in front of him, his heart was ruthless, and then he ordered the Han army to gather the people in the whole city and select out the Qiang people among them. In the name of the Qiang people in Linqiang City's intention to rebel and assassinate the officers of the Han army, Zhang Liao executed all the young and strong children of the Qiang people and those who were taller than the wheels. The vast majority of the remaining people are Han Chinese, and although they are also panicked when they see the Han army killing the Qiang people, they are also happy to see it.

Zhang Liao glanced at the people and said loudly; "Folks, it's not that I, Zhang Liao, am good at killing, but that Xiqiang is disloyal and unjust, plundering the Han realm, killing my peers, and insulting my brothers and sisters."

When the people heard this, they naturally rejoiced. Of course, these people do not include the Qiang people who survived and escaped their lives, but these Qiang people knew that whether it was the Qiang people or the Han army, they were their masters, and they did not dare to resist, and they had no ability to resist.

Zhang Liao sent an order to distribute some of the seized money and grain to the people of Linqiang City, and the people were naturally grateful to Dade, this time, those Qiang people first ate a stuffy stick, and then ate sweet dates, and thanked Zhang Liao in a complicated heart. The people slowly dispersed!

Zhang Liao discussed with Jiang Wei and Feng Xi and decided to suspend the march, on the one hand, the vanguard army and Li Mu's Chinese army, and the battle line was a bit long; On the other hand, the garrison of Anyi City is 7,000 people, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to win in a hurry. At the same time, Li Mu passed down the general order that if Zhang Liao captured Linqiang City, he would postpone the march and wait for the arrival of the army.

Sure enough, in the middle of Shen Shi, Li Mu's Chinese army came to Linqiang City. Zhang Liao, Jiang Wei, and Feng Xi went out of the city for five miles and invited Li Mu and his party to the mansion. Everyone sat down, Li Mu stroked his palms and laughed: "Third brother, Boyo, Xiu Yuan, it is really a noble and fast soldier, overnight, the soldiers are bloodless, and they take down the two cities, which should be rewarded!" 4,000 Han troops, bravely killing the enemy, should be rewarded! ”

Zhang Liao, Jiang Wei, and Feng Xi got up, clasped their fists and arched their hands, and said loudly: "Worry about the Lord, don't give up!" ”

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "Now, there are more than 7,000 Qiang soldiers in Anyi City, and there are more than 50,000 Huangzhongyi soldiers from Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou in the western capital. Ladies and gentlemen, what is the best way to defeat the enemy? ”

Deng Zhi muttered: "Lord, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou are unscrupulous, the western capital is more than 100 miles away from Anyi, even if there are more than 50,000 people, they can't rescue Anyi City in a hurry. Tomorrow, the lord will send a general, with only 2,000 men to attack Anyi, and Nabukuha will go out of the city to meet the battle, and our army will be defeated and go away, and lead it to the valley southwest of the city of Anyi, where it can be completely annihilated. After Bukuha leaves the city, he will send another army, dressed in Qiang clothes, and let Yakta go to the city and take advantage of the situation to capture the city of Anyi! ”

Li Mu nodded, and said with a smile: "Bo Miao's plan is very good, do you have any other good plans?" ”

Li Mu saw that everyone had no better plan for a while, so he immediately said: "Okay! Tomorrow will act according to the plan of Bo Miao. ”

This night, Li Mu rewarded the soldiers of the three armies, the Han army was excited, and the fighting spirit was rolling, just waiting for tomorrow to defeat the Qiang soldiers, capture Anyi City, and build new achievements!
