Hu Chuquan and Li Wei had just walked to the middle of the mountain road when they suddenly felt that the originally clear sky was overcast for a moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hu Chuquan looked up, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking the air, and the rain of arrows covering the sky and pouring down.

Hu Chuquan shouted, turned over and dismounted, and hid his body in the belly of the horse, and some of the quick-witted cavalry also hurriedly hid their bodies under the belly of the horse, and the overwhelming rain of arrows shot the cavalry and those stout war horses that had no time to dodge into a honeycomb.

Li Dao originally came from martial arts, rode on a horse, waved a big knife, and dialed the dense arrow feathers, but the war horse under his command was shot by a stray arrow and fell to the ground with a bang.

Li Dao and Hu Chuquan wanted to fight back, but when they looked up at the mountain, they found that the archers who emerged on the slopes on both sides of the hill were all wearing grass rings, and their faces and robes were painted grass green, hiding among the pines and cypresses, which was really difficult to distinguish.

Li Dao and Hu Chuquan looked at each other helplessly, and they should withdraw quickly.

Under the protection of the elite soldiers of the Huns and the warriors of the Flying Bear Army, the two relied on the horses that fell to the ground and the shrubs on both sides of the mountain road, bent over, strode forward, and fled forward along the rugged mountain road.

The archers on the hillsides on both sides were in hot pursuit, releasing arrows as they pursued, and those archers climbed over the mountains and mountains as if they were walking on flat ground, and their archery skills were not inferior to these Hun cavalry, firing wantonly from top to bottom.

There were constantly soldiers around Li Dao and Hu Chuquan who snorted, and fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and Li Dao and Hu Chuquan did not dare to stop. Trotting all the way. Walked through the mountain road more than five miles long.

The front suddenly opened up. It was a large flat area, and the jungle archers did not go down the mountain to pursue, but turned and ran towards the other peaks.

Li Dao and Hu Chuquan looked at the backs of those jungle archers with hatred, the ambush just now caused them to lose more than 1,100 Xiongnu elite cavalry and more than 900 flying bear elite soldiers, this is still because there are only more than 1,000 jungle archers, if there are more than 10,000 people, they have to explain here.

However, they could not send troops to pursue these jungle archers, because the Xiongnu elite cavalry of Huchuquan and the flying bear army of Li Dao were elite cavalry. On the horse is a hero, get off the horse, with the lap legs they have built over the horse, to go over the mountains and mountains to pursue these archers, it is simply to hit the stone with an egg, or don't bring shame on yourself.

Hu Chuquan frowned and thought for a while, and said to himself suspiciously: "The army running like a fly in the mountains and forests in this area of Bingzhou is none other than Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army, looking at the outfits of the group of archers just now, although they are very different from the Black Mountain Army in the past, their way of fighting is very similar. Could it be that Zhang Yan has taken refuge in Jin Liang? ”

Li Wei was shocked when he heard this: "What, Zhang Yan took refuge in Jin Liang? Zhang Yan was not defeated by Jin Liang. Less than 30,000 of the 100,000 troops fled back, so how could he take refuge in Jin Liang? ”

Hu Chuquan shook his head: "But later, Zhang Yan quickly rectified the people, the Feiyan army became more and more courageous, and the more they fought, the more refined they became, and they swallowed up many bandits and bandits in the area of Taihang Black Mountain, and there were more and more people and horses, and he also broke through the dock forts of several big families, but there were almost no old and weak women and children in his cottage, almost all of them were capable men, and the Tuntian soldiers in Han Hao's Tuntian Corps near Montenegro were increasing day by day, to say that Zhang Yan and Jin Liang did not collude secretly, Zhang Yan did not get Jin Liang's support, I don't believe it!" ”

Li Wei heard Hu Chuquan say this, thinking that the properties of those families close to Dong Zhuo along the Taihang Black Mountain in the past month had been looted by the Montenegrin Army, and the properties of the clans close to Lu Bu had hardly been close to the Montenegrin Army, so he had to approve Hu Chuquan's judgment: "I want to quickly send someone to tell Lord Xiangguo this information, Zhang Yan now has 100,000 elite soldiers, if he takes refuge in Jin Liang, we will not want to take Hedong County, we must let Lord Xiangguo send reinforcements again!" ”

Li Dao and Hu Chuquan were right, the strange soldier that Jin Liang used this time was Zhang Yan's Feiyan Army.

Since Zhang Yan formed an alliance with Jin Liang, he has been more and more influenced by the Jin Liang Central Army, Zhang Yan sent all the old and weak women and children down the mountain to Han Hao's Tuntian Corps, since then most of the grain and grass of the Feiyan Army have been provided by the Tuntian Corps, most of the weapons and armor of the Feiyan Army are provided by the Ordnance Department of the Central Army, most of the combat missions of the Feiyan Army are assigned by the Central Army Command, most of the military intelligence of the Feiyan Army is provided by Guo Jia's Military Intelligence Bureau, and more than half of the officers and men of the Central Army of Lu Bu are adapted from Montenegrin thieves. Many people in the Feiyan Army are relatives and friends, so the alliance between the Feiyan Army and the Central Army is getting closer and closer, even if Zhang Yan is unwilling, he has to become a vassal of the Central Army.

With the secret cooperation of the Central Army, the Feiyan Army broke through the dock forts of various clans near Taihang Mountain and Montenegro, beheaded the immediate family members of those clans, and sold all those slaves to the Tuntian Corps, but once these clans were cleared, the combat missions of the Feiyan Army became less and less, and just half a month ago, they received a new task to help plant forgetful flowers. Since then, the Feiyan Army has planted forgetfulness flowers in the Taihang Mountains, while the Central Army is responsible for sales, and this cooperative relationship has made the relationship between the Feiyan Army and the Central Army even closer.

Therefore, Jin Liang sent someone to inform Zhang Yan to send troops to stop the Hun cavalry, and Zhang Yan agreed without hesitation. Hu Chuquan and Li Wei learned the lesson just now, when passing through a subsequent valley, they put their cronies in the middle, and the cavalry of other tribes at both ends, the front army and the army scrambled through the valley, and the Hun cavalry behind the palace were afraid of being ambushed, so they rushed forward, and the valley was crowded together, at this moment, Zhang Yan's other team of more than 1,000 arrow soldiers rushed out, and painfully threw down thousands of arrow feathers, so that the Hun cavalry lost more than 4,000 people, Zhang Yan, the arrow soldier shot the arrow feathers in the arrow bag, and then did not enter the mountain forest.

On the journey of two hundred miles from Tongtian Mountain to Baibo Valley, every time they pass through a valley or a mountain forest, Hu Chuquan and Li Dao will definitely be greeted by the rain of arrows from the Feiyan army, Hu Chuquan and Li Dao finally couldn't bear it anymore, they didn't care about anything, and let the cavalry dismount and sneak into the mountains and forests to catch up. The cavalrymen who went to chase were shot in vain.

That's it. Zhang Yan received Jin Liang's military orders. Sent 10,000 archers, scattered to the mountains from Tongtian Mountain to Baibo Valley, waiting for an opportunity to attack and harass Huchuquan and Li Wei's men and horses, Feiyan army relied on them to climb the mountains and mountains like walking on flat ground, familiar with mountain warfare, and familiar with the local terrain, Hu Chuquan and Li Dao's troops played around, and when these Hun cavalry reached the periphery of Baibo Valley. More than 14,000 people have been shot dead, more than 7,000 people have been shot and wounded and cannot be immediately put into battle, and there are less than 50,000 men and horses that Hu Chuquan can use to deal with Jinliang's central army, and they are all tired divisions.

Baibo Valley is the old river channel of Fenshui, a long, long time ago, Fenshui was westward into the Yellow River, when it flowed through Linfen, through Baibo Valley, I don't know when. The Fenshui was abruptly diverted and flowed south into the Yellow River. It no longer flows through the White Wave Valley, and the White Wave Valley is deserted.

In the past, the Fenshui was very wide, as the old river channel of the Fenshui, the Baibo Valley was also very broad, showing a gourd shape, the two ends were narrow, the middle was wide, the distance between the two ends was about more than 30 miles, the widest place in the middle was more than three miles, after tens of thousands of years of Fenshui scouring, the Baibo Valley was surrounded by cliffs with thousands of walls, it was difficult to climb up and it was difficult to climb down, only two ends could enter the people, and these two ends were extremely narrow, a little construction, it became a dangerous pass that one person could not open, and the two ends of this river valley were lush with vegetation, covering the sky and the sun, It is difficult for ordinary people to discover this hidden place.At the beginning, Guo Tai, Han Xian, Yang Feng, Hu Cai, Li Le and others followed Zhang Jiao after the failure of the rebellion in Jizhou, they were chased and killed by the official army everywhere, and inadvertently fled here.

Guo Tai, Han Xianam, Yang Feng, Hu Cai, Li Le and others gradually found that they recruited too many displaced people, and the grain cultivated in the valley was simply not enough to eat, so they selected 100,000 strong men from more than 200,000 people, and boldly went to plunder the rich Hedong County. With the help of the Pei family and other soldiers of the Hedong family, they not only defended Anyi City, but also took the opportunity to rush and kill, eliminating more than 10,000 Baibo troops.

At that time, Yu Fuluo, his father was killed by his fellow people, he set himself up as Shan Yu, but was not recognized by most of the Southern Xiongnu nobles, he was forced to lead 40,000 tribesmen to flee, pitifully ran to Luoyang, begged Emperor Han Ling to be the master for him, Emperor Han Ling was worried about his heir problem was holding back his strength and fighting with the general He Jin, too lazy to care about Yu Fuluo, Yu Fuluo had to stay in Pingyang City, because Pingyang City was in the middle of Meiji and Luoyang, he was delusional that there was a change over there, he went there to take advantage of it, and gathered in Pingyang, However, there was a lack of pastures in the Pingyang area, and the 40,000 people under him were waiting to be fed, so he had to return to the Huns' business and plunder the Han people.

After Guo Tai and Yu Fuluo joined forces, he borrowed from Zhang Yan, who was also a member of the Yellow Turban Yu Party, crossed Taihang, and went straight to Hanoi, where he brought more than 10,000 people with him, and made up 100,000 Baibo troops and 10,000 Hun cavalry, and ambushed a section of the river, waiting for Lü Bu's army to go down the river. Guo Tai and Yu Fuluo thought that their 110,000 horses would be able to easily defeat Lu Bu's men and horses, but unexpectedly, Jin Liang first ambushed the front of the Baibo army with crossbowmen, and then cut the generals to capture the flag, which frustrated their morale, and then flanked the two phases, completely defeating the combined forces of Guo Tai and Yu Fuluo, Guo Tai's Qu Shuai was killed and wounded, and only Guo Tai fled back to Baibo Valley with two arrow wounds to recuperate.

More than two months have passed, Guo Tai's arrow wound has not healed, and the news that the Baibo army was defeated by Jin Liang's army has spread, and there are very few displaced people who have come to Baibo Valley to defect in these two months, so there are only 110,000 old and weak soldiers in Baibo Valley, plus more than 30,000 Hun old and weak soldiers entrusted to him by Yu Fuluo, among the 150,000 people, less than 20,000 can really be put out to fight.

But Mrs. Guo was not afraid, he knew very well the danger of the passes at both ends of the river valley, not to mention putting seven or eight thousand men and horses, even if he put seven or eight hundred men and horses, he was not afraid of the attack of Jin Liang's tens of thousands of horses. He was hiding in the depths of the White Wave Valley and sucking the Forgetfulness Pill.

Jin Liang came out to meet the Hun cavalry this time. Travel light. Didn't carry a Thunderbolt.

When he came to the end of the Baibo Valley, he first had to cross a large dense forest that covered the sky and the sun, Jin Liang first sent a scout battalion to carefully search this dense forest about two or three miles long, and found no ambush, so he dispatched all his men and horses to continue to advance into the Baibo Valley.

After passing through the dense forest, I saw an extremely dangerous pass, which was the sudden narrowing of the old Fenshui channel, as if a gap had been split between the cliffs on both sides. The widest part of this gap is only more than two zhang, the bottom of the river is built with many huge bluestones, the bluestone steps more than two zhang high are more than three feet thick and one zhang high wooden gate, above the wooden door is the arched city tower made of bluestone, the city tower is connected with the cliffs on both sides, and the cliffs and the city tower are stationed above the white wave elite soldiers who are on full alert.

Jin Liang looked at it for a while, and he understood why the Baibo army could survive for so long and not be wiped out by the official army, thanks to the terrain of this Baibo Valley, the danger of this pass is that it is narrow and towering, if the official army attacks. You have to climb up the bluestone steps from the bottom of the river, and then climb over the cliff-based wall, which is more than two feet high. Moreover, the pass is so narrow that only four or five hundred people can be put down to attack at a time, and the Baibo army on the city tower and the cliff wall is seven or eight thousand people, so it seems that unless it is smashed with a thunderbolt, it cannot be taken at all according to ordinary siege methods such as cloud ladder rushing chariots.

Jin Liang asked Guo Jia in a low voice: "Can you inform the fine workers in the valley to take the opportunity to open the city gate?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head: "These small works were all added later, and they were not trusted by Mrs. Guo, so they were all placed in the depths of the Baibo Valley, and they were not allowed to approach the valley mouth." ”

Jin Liang asked in surprise, "Then how did their information come out?" ”?

"Mrs. Guo wants to raise 150,000 people, and the cultivation in the Optics Valley is far from satisfying, so he takes turns to send people out of the valley to loot grain. Guo Jia also looked at the pass of Baibo Valley with great regret: "They said in the intelligence that this pass is dangerous, I didn't think so at the time, and now it seems that they really underestimate this magical pass." ”

Jin Liang pointed to the top of the White Wave Valley: "Can we rush down from above?" ”

Guo Jia still shook his head: "There are steep cliffs above the river valley, and the walls are thousands of feet, it is difficult to climb up, and it is difficult to climb down. ”

At this point, it seemed that he was at a loss, but Jin Liang did not have the slightest anxiety on his face, but smiled faintly and said: "Since it is so easy to defend and difficult to attack, let's attack slowly!" ”

Jin Liang immediately ordered the trees on the side of the valley to be cut down, and the simple catapults were used to throw stones at the pass, but except for the loud sound of stones hitting the cliff walls and wooden gates, these dozens of catapults did not have any effect on the Baibo Valley Pass. Jin Liang also ordered people to make nearly 100 drums, and hundreds of drummers kept beating.

Jin Liang then ordered 10,000 auxiliary soldiers to shout in unison: "Kill!" "Rush!" "It's about to be captured!" Words like that. After making these arrangements, Jin Liang disappeared into the dense forest on the side of the river valley with 30,000 soldiers and 30,000 auxiliaries.

A few hours later, Hu Chuquan and Li Wei appeared on the side of the river valley with the exhausted 50,000 Hun cavalry, they heard the rumbling stone throwing, rumbling drums, and earth-shaking shouts at the Baibo Pass from a distance, they looked at each other and smiled: "The Central Army is attacking the Baibo Pass, let them continue to attack, anyway, the Baibo Pass is very dangerous, let's rest now!" ”

The invincible Flying Bear Army under Li Dao's command has been harassed by the Feiyan Army on the way from Tongtian Mountain to Baibo Valley, and has been sharply reduced from 2,000 to more than 600 people, so it is difficult for such a few people to ensure their own safety, so he began to be polite to Hu Chuquan, and there was a little more smile on his face.

The 10,000 auxiliary soldiers of the Central Army have been shouting for several hours, they are all a little tired, their shouts are getting weaker and weaker, and the soldiers who operate the catapults and beat the drums are also lying down, too lazy to exert their strength, and the sound of drums and stones is also much weaker.

Hu Chuquan and Li Wei looked at each other again and smiled: "It seems that the Central Army is not attacking the city well and is tired, now it's time for us to play, let them relax completely!" ”

Hu Chuquan waved the scepter that symbolized the power of his Xiongnu Zuoxian King, and shouted: "Revive the Xiongnu, success or failure in this move!" Come on! ”

The 50,000 Hun cavalry held their breath on the way, unable to vent, this time finally found a person to vent, they were like a pack of hungry wolves, pounced on the dense forest, as long as they passed through this dense forest, they could attack the Baibo Pass and the exhausted central army in one fell swoop.

This dense forest, growing on both sides of the old Fenshui River Valley, is very thick, it can be said to cover the sky and the sun, and only the dry riverbed in the middle can be used by cavalry.

Li Wei was frightened by several ambushes by the Feiyan army, and when Hu Chuquan summoned the Hun cavalry to prepare to ride into the old riverbed in the middle of the dense forest, he hurriedly stopped Hu Chuquan: "King Zuo Xian, don't enter the forest!" (To be continued.) )
