The morning sun pierced through the thin mist, and the hazy field gradually became clear.

More than 200 fast horses galloped across the field.

The direction they went was exactly where Cheng Yin was stationed.

On horseback is a soldier wearing dragon pattern riding armor.

Everyone's face was extremely solemn.

Those who are not familiar with the dragon pattern riding will feel that they are very powerful from a distance, and they must be a hundred battles of heroes who can fight well.

But those who are familiar with dragon riding can easily find that something is wrong.

Although they were wearing the armor of the dragon pattern rider, the people who led the team were not Cao Shuo and Chen Dao.

The two of them rode their horses and galloped, and from time to time they would turn back and beckon the soldiers behind them to speed up.

From their figures and voices, it can be judged that it is Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao who are leading this team.

Cao Shuo agreed to Tian Feng's strategy of pretending to be a dragon-patterned rider with the Liang army in the west.

But there is no general in the Xiliang army who even thinks he can lead the troops.

Although Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were the commanders of the guards around him, they used to be lieutenants in the Dragon Pattern Cavalry and the Flying Bear Battalion.

knows Cao Shuo's elite teams very well, and it is not a problem for the two of them to lead the team.

The only thing that could be a problem was the two hundred Xiliang troops they led.

The Western Liang army was dominated by cavalry, and most of the battles were fought on horseback.

They are also cavalry, but the dragon pattern cavalry has a unique combat style, and it is easy to see the difference between them and ordinary cavalry.

And the combat that the Xiliang Army is good at is a method that Han Suijun is very familiar with.

While galloping, Zhu Ao asked Deng Zhan: "General Deng, what if we are surrounded by Cheng Yin?" ”

"The purpose of our battle this time is to surround Cheng Yin." Deng Zhan replied: "If Cheng Yin can't surround us, Gongzi will not be able to act well." ”

Before they set off, Cao Shuo repeatedly told him to be careful.

Zhu Ao didn't think much about it, but Deng Zhan began to think about it when he got the order.

It was simple to lure Cheng Yin to expose the ambush, but once they withdrew after being exposed, the enemy army would have enough time to reorganize and fight Cao Shuo's army that arrived later.

At first, he was still worried that he would be surrounded by Cheng Yin, but as soon as Deng Zhan said this, Zhu Ao began to worry that Cao Shuo would not be able to stab Cheng Yin from behind when he led the army.

The team of more than 200 people galloped all the way, seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the place where Cheng Yin was garrisoned.

Deng Zhan shouted: "Soldiers, we are going this time to be surrounded by enemy troops, you must know that we are facing more than 20,000 enemy troops, are you afraid?" ”

There are more than 200 people, and they are not as elite as the dragon pattern ride, so it must be nonsense to say that they are not afraid.

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army only felt like a rabbit in their chests, and their hearts were beating terribly.

But they still replied in unison: "Don't be afraid! ”

"I know you're." Deng Zhan laughed: "To be honest, I'm a little scared. But I know very well that if we are not surrounded by enemy troops, Childe will not be able to act according to the plan. Little Cheng Yin can't break it, let alone break Han Sui. ”

The horse's hooves were flying and the dust was billowing off, and in the rumbling sound of the horse's hooves, Deng Zhan's shout was not clear.

But more than 200 Xiliang soldiers still understood it.

"General Zhu and I followed Gongzi for a long time, and Gongzi was not as powerful as he is now." Deng Zhan then shouted: "There are many enemies stronger than us, and there are many more dangerous battles than this one. Childe once said to us, don't think about life and death when you go to the battlefield, we are all dead before the battle is over! Only when you die and move forward bravely will you have a chance to live. Greedy for life and fear of dying on a battlefield full of killings will not help you stay alive at all! ”

No one responded, and the soldiers just urged the horses to gallop.

Deng Zhan didn't say anything more, and glanced at Zhu Ao.

Zhu Ao then shouted: "General Deng still hasn't said a word, greed for life and fear of death will not only not help you live, but will also affect your Tongze and expose their backs to the enemy!" ”

The soldiers of the Xiliang Army who followed behind them still did not respond.

Having been a soldier in Xiliang for many years, of course they know what they will face if they are greedy for life and afraid of death on the battlefield.

Once the army collapses, both veterans and new recruits are scattering and fleeing, and no one cares about anyone.

Some were able to escape the battlefield alive, while many more were reduced to the ghosts of the enemy's butcher's knife or simply captured by the enemy.

Although no one responded, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao knew that their goal had been achieved.

The two of them didn't say much more, urging the war horse to move forward quickly.

More than 200 people passed through the place where Cheng Yin had set up an ambush earlier.

When they rushed over, there was nothing unusual in the vicinity.

After walking for two or three miles, he still didn't see Cheng Yin and the army under his command, Deng Zhan restrained the war horse.

Zhu Ao and two hundred soldiers of the Xiliang Army dressed as dragon pattern riders also stopped.

They looked left and right, and there was no one in the wilderness, where was there any trace of Cheng Yin's soldiers.

"What about people?" Zhu Ao said suspiciously: "The scout said that they were here. ”

Deng Zhan didn't respond, and after taking a few steps forward, he turned over and dismounted.

Twisting the dirt on the ground, Deng Zhan frowned and said, "There was a battle here last night. ”

"Ever fought?" Zhu Ao was stunned and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Cheng Yin is definitely one of them." Deng Zhan replied: "As for the other party, I don't know who it is. ”

He judged by the traces of new soil on the ground that there had been a battle here.

Beneath the new soil must be buried soldiers who died on both sides.

Several Xiliang soldiers explored the way, and it didn't take long for them to turn back.

One of them said to Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao: "Two generals, we found something in front, so please ask the two of you to go and see it for yourself." ”

Zhu Ao and Deng Zhan glanced at each other, beckoned everyone and walked forward.

After walking for a while, they saw patches of weapons appear in the clearing in front of them.

Broken shields littered around.

The ground was almost covered with broken arrows, and the fighting that had taken place here seemed unusually brutal.

"It seems that the battle is not small." Looking around the scene, Zhu Ao was stunned.

"Childe also sent scouts, why hasn't the news been sent back at all?" Deng Zhan expressed the doubts in his heart.

"The last group of scouts was sent last night, and it's already morning when Childe gets the news." Zhu Ao said: "It should be on the way back from the scouts, there is a fight here. ”

"I don't know where Cheng Yin went." Deng Zhan said with annoyance: "Gongzi wanted us to disrupt his deployment, but I didn't expect someone to strike first. ”

"What should I do?" Zhu Ao asked.

"It's definitely not going to work out." Deng Zhan said: "We are waiting for Gongzi here, he will definitely have a plan when he comes!" ”

Determined to die but not seeing the enemy, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were very annoyed.

The more than 200 Xiliang soldiers who came with them breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that they don't have to think of themselves as dead people on the battlefield.
