Far away in the territory of Sanfu Youfufeng, an escort convoy of dozens of people from Liangzhou had just entered Youfufeng, and was crossing Chencang Road unguardedly and entering Chencang Chengguan.

Chencang Road, also known as the Old Road, is a dangerous place sandwiched between the mountains, and experienced people will never easily enter the army without surveying the terrain and checking whether there is an enemy. And that Chencang city is built between two mountains, its terrain is steep, the city is several zhang high, dozens of zhang long, it is also strong and abnormal, even if there are ten times the army to attack it, it is difficult to overcome it.

Liu Bang, the founder of the former Han Dynasty, Emperor Gao, when Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, quickly crossed the Qinling Mountains to Hanzhong after the Hongmen banquet, and used Zhang Liang's strategy to burn the plank road behind him, in order to show Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, his determination to stay in the fiefdom of Hanzhong forever and not return to Guanzhong. Later, after Liu Bang recuperated in Hanzhong, he wanted to kill back to Guanzhong, he appointed Han Xin as the general, using Han Xin's strategy, pretending to rebuild the burned plank road, at the same time, the main force of the army detoured to Baoji by the long road of Chencang Road, and then went east to Chang'an.

In this way, the Han army used the strategy of attacking the east and the west, leaving the story of "Ming Xiu Plank Road, Dark Chen Cang" that has been handed down to this day, among them, Chen Cang is Chen Cang Road. Of course, at that time, the Chu army left by Xiang Yu was not only confused by Liu Bang's large-scale construction of the damaged plank road, but also because of the dangerous terrain of Chencang and ignoring the carelessness, which allowed the Han army to exploit loopholes in this Chencang Road. Later, Zhuge Liang of Shu Han, the second expedition to Qishan, went out of the pass to surround Chencang, ran out of grain and returned to Hanzhong, which was also because of the danger of Chencang, so that Zhuge Liang, who had the advantage at that time, had to return with hatred.

To sum up, it can be seen that the fortification of Chencang City is dangerous, and in this dynasty, there are two major field troops of Huya Battalion and Yongying in Guanzhong, the former guards Xijing Chang'an, and the latter is stationed in Yongxian, which is not far from here.

Strong, strong, Chen Cang is worthy of being known as the last barrier in the west of Guanzhong, which is enough to show that the Han Dynasty attached great importance to the land of Sanfu. This is also the reason why in real history, Han Sui and Bian Zhang led troops to attack Sanfu, the world shook, and even the Manchu Dynasty ministers, most of them were frightened to give up Liangzhou, and the Han Dynasty comprehensively reduced its forces to hold Sanfu.

The same is true of the escort convoy from Liangzhou, who took a short rest in Chencang City and replenished food and water, and then did not dare to delay and continue on the road. The reason why this is the case is that Liangzhou Assassin Shi Fuquan has an order, and the person who must be escorted by the convoy must be quickly sent to the court captain of Luoyang for trial, and the person escorted is none other than Zhang Xuan, who took the initiative to go to Fuquan and speak to Fuquan on the side of Qingjun.

After the incident came out, Fu Quan knew that the matter was not handled properly, and the political crisis would be fatal to him, so he hurriedly tied up Zhang Xuan, sent someone to tie him up to Tingwei, and played to inform the emperor Liu Hong of the cause and effect, and it was necessary to make this matter clear at the first time, otherwise, once the rumors spread, with his identity as a relative who now controls the heavy army, there will obviously be no good consequences.

Along the way, Zhang Xuan didn't make a fuss because Fuquan caught him, but he was always very honest, and from time to time he chatted with the escort soldiers to pass the loneliness on the road. To a certain extent, this also made the Han army even more careless, and directly let them pass through Chencang City, and saw the Beijing division Luoyang, which was getting closer and closer, and let down more guards, but they didn't know that this would be their death knell overture.

When the convoy walked into a secluded mountain road, there was a different silence in the mountain road, and there was not even the sound of birds, but the Han soldiers who were chatting all the way did not care at all. There have always been few thieves in the land of Sanfu, after all, with the responsibility of guarding the capital master Luoyang, of course the local officials can't prevaricate to deal with it, and even if there are thieves, the number of those thieves will not be too many.

For them, the elite soldiers of Liangzhou, if someone really wants to hijack them, they have to weigh their own strength. Otherwise, the final result is not yet known as who wins and who loses.

It's just that in an instant, when they were faced with arrows flying everywhere, they immediately stunned this group of Han soldiers, they didn't know which group of people, how could there be so many bows and crossbows?

In a single face-to-face effort, more than a dozen people fell to the ground because they were shot to the vital point, and the others were not much better, and they were more or less slightly injured in the face of the dense and continuous arrow attacks. At the same time, intuition tells the soldiers of the Han army who can fight that the people who are ambushed around are definitely not simple, and the combat power must not be comparable to the ordinary robbery thieves.

Of course, because of the sudden situation, the Han army did not observe the surrounding situation, if they saw that even though the arrows were flying, but Zhang Xuan, who was locked up in the car, was unscathed in this chaos, they would definitely understand that this group of thieves who did not know the origin must have come for Zhang Xuan this time.

After the arrows, dozens of men dressed in ranger clothes, armed with short crossbows and swords, charged forward, and the Han soldiers did not care about anything else, and immediately engaged them.

In close combat, the soldiers of the Han army also suffered a loss, although they were all wearing armor, but most of the weapons in their hands were long, which was not conducive to melee assault. Even if the Han army caused more than a dozen casualties to the "ranger" army at the beginning, but with the ranger army pulling up and having a short crossbow bonus, this group of Han soldiers soon died one by one.

Seeing that there was no longer an obstacle, the "Ranger" army hurriedly opened the car escorting Zhang Xuan and released Zhang Xuan.

"It's not good to stay here for a long time, leave quickly!"

"No!"

Zhang Xuan seemed to have expected this, although he didn't know these rangers in front of him, he naturally knew that they were coming for him, and after being rescued, he hurriedly ordered these people to leave early. If the news spreads and alarms the Han army in Guanzhong, it will be bad.

After those rangers got the order, they examined the dead bodies of the Han army one by one, and made up all of them again to make sure that there were no living wounds, and there were no traces of clues at the scene that could find them, and then they left with Zhang Xuan.

When a pedestrian passed by here and informed the Right Fufeng Official Office of the matter, Bao Hong, who heard the news, was immediately shocked after confirming that this was a soldier under the command of Liangzhou Thorn Shi Fuquan. A group of Han border troops were killed in the territory, and the court was robbed, and the government was unaware of it in advance.

Bao Hong was shocked by the courage and organization of the thieves, and his intuition told him that the thieves were able to commit murder in Chencang, which was obviously premeditated, and that he could detect the money at the official office and quickly solve the Han army, which was really not to be underestimated. Moreover, in this ambush, the thieves didn't even leave a trace of checking their identities, which is really powerful, and the only clue that makes Bao Hong feel that it can be worth inquiring about is just the arrows used by the thieves.

It's just that, in Bao Hong's mind, the thieves who act closely can use these things to stay, which must show that they are not afraid of the Han Dynasty government tracking them down, that is to say, the source of these arrows may not be found for a long time, and even if they can be found, I am afraid that they don't know how many hands they have changed halfway.

Not only Bao Hong was shocked, but also the civil and military forces of Youfufeng were also shocked by the scale of this ambush, the gang of thieves actually used a considerable number of bows and crossbows, among which there were many strong crossbows with extremely strict control by the big Han, which also showed that the thieves were extraordinary.

If the bow and arrow are down, but the thief even has so many strong crossbows, his intuition tells Bao Hong that this matter is not simple. In addition, he also learned from the defenders of Chen Cangcheng that this Liangzhou convoy was transporting Zhang Xuan, who was denounced by Fuquan, and thought of Zhang Xuan's persuasion, and he didn't dare to think about it at the moment, saying that there was a deeper coup d'état here.

At that moment, Bao Hong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to Luoyang to inform Chen Cang of the attack before and after, and on the other hand, he wrote to inform the Liangzhou Thorn History Department to inform Fuquan of this matter.

Since he doesn't know the conspiracy here, what Bao Hong can do is to try not to offend everywhere, just complete his task, and many years of political experience tell him that if he can find out the cause of the case, then go to investigate, if he can't find out, he can only slowly and dilut the mud, and then mix up his term of office and get out of this fire pit.

The matter of Sanfu has not yet reached Liangzhou, causing the Liangzhou Prefecture and County to shake, and fifty miles north of Guiyi City, a battle that is destined to make the Qiang people frightened in the future is about to begin.

Huang Zhong, the commander of the Han army, led more than 3,000 cavalry, waiting for reinforcements from Liangzhou, on the vast land, more than 3,000 cavalry of the Han army, without being afraid of the enemy soldiers, in their hearts, only with their achievements, to prove to the world that their cavalry under the command of Fuquan, equipped with stirrups and horseshoes, will have such terrifying combat power.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

"Boom...... Rumble ......"

With Huang Zhong's order, more than 3,000 Han cavalry roared and charged forward, and the 10,000 horseshoes with horseshoes were like thunder, bringing out a wave of shaking mountains, so that the Qiang cavalry on the opposite side, whether it was a general or a soldier, all looked at each other.

The Qiang people have been herding horses since childhood, and this is the first time in their lives that they feel what it means to have thousands of troops and horses, and the world has been turned upside down, and the sound of horses' hooves is too loud. Even those of them who have raised horses since childhood, and some of them have seen hundreds of thousands of horses, have never heard such a sound, which is really too exaggerated.

Of course, the situation at this moment, for Wuge Taijian, who has always been arrogant and ignores the cavalry under Huang Zhong's command, even if the Han army breaks the sky, he will not be afraid. The Qiang people have controlled horses since they were children, how can their combat power be comparable to these Han people who have axes? Compared to the cavalry, the Han people are really far behind.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

……

Wu Ge Taijian gave an order, 3,000 cavalry Huang Zhongqiang, more than 7,000 cavalry burned Dangqiang roared Qiang Hu's words, charging towards the Han army, if you want to fight, then fight!

However, this time, the Qiang people obviously had to regret the arrogance of their superiority in numbers, just like the previous kingdom and Song Jian when they saw the cavalry under Huang Zhong's command.

When the two armies were about 100 paces away, Huang Zhong had taken the lead in taking out a short bow and bending the bow with arrows, and the cavalry of the Han army behind saw this and also bent their bows.

This scene surprised the Qiang people on the other side, what is the Han army going to do, dare to shoot arrows in a hundred steps? Do you really think you can do anything?

It's just that, in a moment, they were about to accept this, only to see the feather arrows in the sky, shooting in a row, and then quickly falling into the formation of the Qiang cavalry.

"Mounted archery? 100 steps away? After Wu Ge Taijian knocked the feather arrows in front of him, he listened to the shouts of the clansmen and cavalry who kept being hit by arrows and fell to the ground in his ears, and said in horror: "The Han army is all god-shot? Riding and shooting at 100 paces? ”

It's really terrifying, for Wuge Taijian, if the Han army can always shoot arrows at a distance of 100 steps, in that case, how can they still fight against the Han army?

In fact, not all the Han army can shoot arrows in 100 steps, but Huang Zhong, as a cavalry general who has experienced a hundred battles, naturally knows that 100 steps of archery, with the relative charge of the two armies, it is completely necessary to have a range of 70 or 80 steps, and he can send the feather arrows into the opponent's camp in the effective range.

After a round of arrow rain, another round, the eunuch Wuge wanted to cry without tears, the two armies are still more than sixty steps away, and the cavalry of their own clan, only a few of the best archers, can return the feather arrows to each other, and the others can only stare dryly, enduring the feather arrows of the Han army.

Fortunately, as long as it takes a while, when the Han army enters the range of the headquarters, and then the short-handed attack, they can definitely use the numerical advantage to wipe out all the Han army, no matter how strong the Han army is, it will not be able to change the difference in numbers between the two armies.

However, when the two armies were nearly fifty paces away, and Wu Ge Taijian ordered his cavalry to counterattack with bows, the Han army on the opposite side moved again, completely shocking his jaw.

However, the Han army did not mean to engage in close combat, but changed direction, flew straight from the flank of the Qiang cavalry, and then stood on the horse under the incredulous gaze of the Qiang people, and then shot arrows at them with a bow. Again, when the Qiang people could not fight back, they shot all the sharp feather arrows into the Qiang army formation on the opposite side.

From the very beginning, the Han army received an order from Huang Zhong not to fight close to the Qiang people, relying on the range advantage of their bows and arrows to consume the Qiang people little by little.

In fact, the Qiang people, who did not have stirrups and horseshoes, which were cavalry weapons, were powerless to resist such helpless tactics of the Han army, and no matter how the Qiang people called the Han people shameless, they were always tightly suppressed by the Han army.

On the other hand, the Han army, for this battle, Huang Zhong had already anticipated, prepared a sufficient number of feather arrows, and completely turned this duel into an archery competition for infantry on horseback, but the Han army was always the attacking side, and the Qiang people could only bear it.

Finally, with more than half of the Qiang casualties, countless Qiang soldiers could no longer bear such pressure, regardless of the orders of Wu Ge Taijian and others, they took the lead in leaving, one after another, and finally even Wu Ge Taijian was coerced by his cronies and fled, this war without suspense, there is no idea of the Qiang people to resist at all.

As for the Han army, there was no idea of pursuit, Huang Zhong accepted it when he saw it, and after reining in some Han troops who had been attrition because of non-combat and taking away the stirrup and horseshoe, he cleaned up the battlefield and returned to Longxi County.

In the battle, the Han army lost more than 40 people, eight of whom were unfortunately killed by the loss, and the rest were slightly injured, while more than 10,000 Qiang riders were killed and wounded more than 6,000.

This battle can be described as a great victory, and then there is the battle of Huang Zhong to recover Longxi, kill the kingdom and Song Jian, and this elite cavalry under the command of Fuquan can be described as shocking the world!

Note: In history, Zhuge Liang's seven Northern Expeditions, in fact, only sent troops twice in Qishan, the so-called "six out of Qishan" is actually just Luo Guanzhong's fiction, after all, the second Northern Expedition is so advantageous, and it took so much time, but he didn't take Chencang, for the weakest Shu Han, it is very unwise to die in Chencang
