The torches in the hands of the ambush soldiers who suddenly appeared from the rear immediately illuminated the battlefield. The ambush soldiers saw that Li Bu had been strangled with the captive cavalry, and the crossbowmen who were in ambush on both sides also abandoned their bows and crossbows after shooting a few rounds of arrows at the dense place of the captives, and then drew their swords and rushed towards the battlefield in the valley.

On the opposite side of the battle between Li and the captive cavalry, a large group of cavalry charging at the other end of the line appeared in the wide valley mouth. These ambush soldiers have also been in ambush for a long time, and when they saw the thieves appearing, they were the same enemy. And the cavalry department that was in battle with it hurriedly responded to the battle, and lost troops one after another. However, after more than a dozen breaths, dozens of people have fallen under the horse in the blink of an eye.

And in the innermost circle, the parts that guarded the car were still fighting in place. The captives in the inner circle are still determined to kill the people in the car. And the struggle of these loyal subordinates has made the thief's thoughts come to naught. The two sides fought in a stalemate for about a moment or so, and with the successive deaths of the thief cavalry, the pressure on the inner circle has been greatly reduced.

Li Yanzhi led a group of cavalry pawns, and from time to time he brushed the edge of the line that the thieves hastily encircled, and the horse lance in his hand flew up and down, often taking the enemy's life with a single look. And Dou Tong took a few elite subordinates and loyally supported Li Yanzhi every step of the way. Li Yanzhi and these elite cavalry played side drums together, and every time he met the captive cavalry, he was able to kill several people. And Dou Tong also showed his brave side at this time. is slightly different from Li Yanzhi, Dou Tong wielded a double knife on the horse, suddenly stabbing straight, suddenly slashing obliquely, and the captive cavalry on the opposite side fought against him, and there was rarely a general.

Li Yanzhi panted for breath on the war horse under his crotch, obviously feeling tired. And Dou Tong and the rest of the dozen or so cavalry rushed to kill for a while, and they also felt that their physical strength was exhausted. Seeing that the friendly cavalry on the opposite side had broken through the line of captive cavalry, they turned their horses and withdrew from the battle for the time being. The cavalry of the Wuwei army, who were still fighting with the enemy cavalry, saw that the captives were not strong, so they raised their swords and fought again.

Encouraged by their own victories, the foot soldiers and crossbowmen who rushed down from the hills on both sides also raised their spears one after another, formed a close formation, and killed the enemy formation. With the addition of these foot soldiers on both sides, the space and range of the encircled enemy cavalry were once again compressed. And the spear array that came from the forest stabbed also made those captives who were surrounded in it unable to parry.

Under such a dense encirclement and joint slaughter, the number of captives in the circle is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and nearly 100 Hun horsemen have fallen under the hooves of the captives walking back and forth in the circle. The hooves of the horses trampled mercilessly on the fallen captives, and as their bones made a tooth-aching crunch, the terrible wails of the fallen horsemen with all their might were instantly drowned out by the shouts of slaughter and the clashing of swords around them.

As the friendly cavalry on the opposite side burst into the captive cavalry formation and strangled them wantonly, these captives were almost powerless to fight back, and the opposing cavalry rushed like a tide, shaking the line of the captive cavalry. And these invincible captives in the past, under the pressure of the absolutely superior Liangzhou soldiers at this time, are as fragile as lambs to be slaughtered.

Under Li Yanzhi's instructions, Tao Heng on the side blew the bamboo whistle that retreated a little. When the cavalry of the Wuwei Army, who were still struggling with the captive cavalry, heard the sound of the bamboo whistle, they abandoned the enemy cavalry one after another, returned one after another, and gradually gathered around Li Yanzhi. Li Yanzhi didn't know what to do before, and he was the first to be thrown into the impact on the captive cavalry front, and the casualties were not small. At this moment, although the headquarters were ordered to withdraw, they also blocked the way for the enemy cavalry to flee in the direction they were in.

Less than half an hour later, the enemy cavalry in front of him was almost wiped out. Li Yanzhi looked at the corpses of the captives and horses who had fallen to the ground in the encirclement, and said nothing. And the remnants of the captives who fled here after the rout were almost all killed under the swords and guns of the Wu Wei army's cavalry.

It wasn't until there were no more captives still on horseback in the mountains and wilderness that the friendly armies whose origins were still unknown organized to clean up the battlefield one after another. And Li Yanzhi, who has been leading his troops to block the passage in the valley since he retreated slightly, found a familiar figure among the friendly generals who were cleaning the battlefield.

A group of more than ten friendly cavalry members each rode their horses and rushed towards the side of the Wu Wei army cavalry. The first general, who looked no more than thirty years old, with a red shirt and bright silver armor, and a face under the iron helmet made Li Yanzhi look familiar, but in a hurry, he couldn't remember what kind of dealings he had with this person.

"Wei Yun, the cavalry battalion general of Xiping County, has seen you. But I don't know where you came from? So what's going on? ”

Li Yanzhi carefully looked at the rider in front of him, pondered hard in his memory, and sorted out the few interactions between him and Xiping in the past, until a figure suddenly crossed his mind. Li Yanzhi compared the appearance in his memory with the person in front of him, and it was almost the same.

"Captain Wei!" Hearing that the person in front of him was calling him, Wei Yun didn't react for a while, and when he saw the face of the person in front of him clearly under the light of the torch held by the soldier beside him, he frowned and pondered for a moment, then reacted, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet the original 'Li Beibu' here, but I was very surprised." ”

"Haha, Wei Duwei don't come unharmed." Li Yanzhi laughed heartily, but it made the soldiers on the left and right quite puzzled: "Our department previously tracked the enemy cavalry that went deep into the state border, and when we chased here, we took the lead in attacking and killing the enemy. ”

Li Yanzhi hurriedly arched his hand: "I didn't know that the commander had set up an ambush here, and the sentry under the command of the commander detected that there was a car driver attacked here, so he brought the army to help, and at this point, seeing that the situation was urgent, he took the lead in attacking the enemy." If this disrupts the plan of the captain, I hope that the captain will not be blamed. ”

Wei Yun smiled faintly and said: "Changshi doesn't have to mind, it is the plan of Song Sima of our county to set up an ambush here." Song Sima personally led the county soldiers to fight this time, and only then did he see that Changshi's troops were brave, so he sent the last general to come and ask Changshi to meet and talk about it. ”

Li Yanzhi bowed and clenched his fists: "Since this is the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." With that, Li Yanzhi led Tao Heng and led a dozen or so guards to drive forward, following Wei Yun towards the rear of the formation. On the way, the Xiping soldiers were looking for the corpses of their own fallen soldiers. Occasionally, several soldiers patrolled it with knives and cut off the enemy's head as a military achievement. The seventy or eighty prisoners captured in this battle were also driven by the surrounding Xiping soldiers and soldiers to the rear of the battle.

After a while, Li Yanzhi met the Song Sima that Wei Yun said at the foot of the mountain. is different from what Li Yanzhi thought, this Song Sima looks quite young, but he is in his thirties. At this time, on the side of Song Sima, there was also a young woman sitting on the Hu bed. Wei Yun led Li Yanzhi forward, and before Song Sima could speak, Li Yanzhi was already in a proper manner, and said, "Captain Shi Li Yanzhi of the Qiang Guard, I have seen Song Sima. ”

Seeing this, Song Sima also hugged his fists and said: "Sima Song of Xiping County has seen a long history. This long history blocked the back road of the captive, and his subordinates rushed bravely to kill, which was indispensable. Later, I will give an order to cut off the heads of the soldiers of the department and divide them with the long history......"

Li Yanzhi arched his hand, and then pointed to the prisoners who were escorted away by the Xiping soldiers, and asked Song Mingdao: "The first-level military merit is not what you want." It's just that I don't know, what does Song Sima plan to do with that captive? ”

When Song Chao heard this, he glanced at the direction in which his soldiers escorted the thieves away, and then laughed twice, and said: "These prisoners, it's useless to keep them, I was planning to order my subordinates to interrogate." After the interrogation, he planned to take these prisoners to the edge of the Huangshui River, and stabbed them one by one, and the result was an accident. ”

"If Sima wants to do this, why don't he hand over these captives to Ji. On them, you can also use a little sub-calculation...... As for the head mentioned earlier, it is okay not to do it. ”

"Oh?" Song Chaoyan was a little surprised when he heard this. These captives roamed the countryside before, slaughtering the villagers, which had already made the soldiers of the station hateful, and at this time, listening to Li Yanzhi's words and still being useful, aroused his curiosity: "I don't know what the long history wants these prisoners, what is the plan?" ”

"He was in the county before, and he rode a big captive. After the captives were suddenly interrogated, it became clear that not all the captives who came to harass this time were Huns. The various departments of Longxi are also involved in it. After a pause, Li Yanzhi said again: "What Yan thinks is to treat the captives well, and then put them back." As for the Xiongnu, they tortured them to the extreme, and then created an opportunity for them to escape back. In this way, Longxi Diqiang and the Xiongnu are bound to be not harmonious, whether we attack or raise troops, it is beneficial and harmless. ”

"The long history is far-sighted, I don't know if it is the blessing of the society or the disaster of the society?" A gentle female voice suddenly sounded, which surprised Li Yanzhi. Although the tone was gentle, the words spoken were cold.

Seeing Li Yanzhi looking at the woman on the side, with a look of uncertainty on her face, Song Chao hurriedly said: "This little lady is the sister." has no mouth to hide, and I hope that the long history will not be strange. ”

Li Yanzhi stared at the woman quietly, and was shocked to find that she was Song Yue of the Song clan who had made Jun Xue die before, and Li Yanzhi was trying to stop him from entering the city when he was passing away. He vaguely remembered that his subordinates had a conflict with this little lady's subordinates, and he still fired arrows one after another, shooting several of the opponent's guards, and using this to suppress the opponent's guards who were flying and domineering.

At that time, Li Yanzhi had no ill feelings towards this little lady. even thinks that her calm style is quite a bit of Song with the demeanor of the past. But listening to what she just said, it was obvious that she meant something. In this way, although he repeatedly said that he had nothing to do with Song Chao on the side, he was still thinking about the words of the little lady in his heart.

Song Chao was embarrassed in the situation before he met, and hurriedly said: "My sister took the risk this time, and she used her own bait as a bait to lure the enemy to take the bait, so she was angry because she was angry with me as an eldest brother." Li Changshi doesn't have to worry about it. When Fang Cai talked about the captives, Song made an arbitrary decision and handed over these captives to Changshi for disposal. ”

"Thank you very much." Li Yanzhi smiled, stretched out his hands and solemnly saluted Song Ming. Then he raised his head and said: "This time the pursuit of the captives is a heavy task, and I hope Song Sima will understand." I'm going to embark on the journey later, so I'll leave it at that. If he has a fate to meet again, he will have a good time with Song Sima again. ”

"Long history, please." Song Chao returned the salute, and immediately called a general, asking him to escort back the prisoners he had taken away before and hand them over to Li Yanzhi. Li Yanzhi waited for a while, and then saw that the previous captives had been escorted back, so he thanked Song Minglian, and then led Tao Heng and his subordinates to go by themselves.

"Let's go home!" Seeing that the cavalry under his command had basically cleared out the battlefield, Song Chao said lightly: "Wei Yun will stay here, clean up the battlefield, and then lead his troops back." ”

Wei Yun bowed and clenched his fists: "Huh." ”

Li Yanzhi led his troops to travel more than ten miles, and the sky was already twilight. The subordinates who had not slept all night were a little sleepy. Tao Heng drove his horse forward and stabbed Li Yanzhi with his elbow. Li Yanzhi turned his head in confusion, but saw Tao Heng pointing at the prisoners who were escorted in the team with his chin, and asked, "Changshi, how are these prisoners treated?" ”

Li Yanzhi thought for a moment, and then replied: "The Huns, and the Qiang people, have they been screened?" ”

When Tao Heng heard this, he hesitated: "I haven't screened it yet." ”

Li Yanzhi waved his hand: "Since this is the case, let's go and screen it, and after screening, find out which part of these Qiang people they are." As soon as the words fell, Tao Heng had already bowed down to receive the order, and then went to the side to look for Lei Rong, to identify the identities of these captives.

After a while, Lei Rong's interrogation had preliminary results. Among the seventy-six captives, there were still forty-one Qiang people, while the remaining thirty-five were all Huns.

"The subordinates have asked that these Qiang people are from Luoyang, Longxi, and their leader is Fu Hong. This time, his brother Fu An led 200 troops into the Hun army and came to the state. ”

"Fu ...... Flood? Li Yanzhi read the name softly, and his mind couldn't help but be confused. He didn't know much about the history of this period, though. However, the famous former Qin regime, he knew a thing or two.

And Fu Hong can be said to be a famous figure in history. He was the founder of the former Qin regime, who once unified the north and later defeated the northern kingdom in the Battle of Weishui, and was his grandson.

This sideways branch made Li Yanzhi feel crying and laughing. He sighed: "Since I said before, I will release the Qiang and leave the Huns, so let these Qiang also." ”

He thought for a while, and then asked, "Fang just said that Fu Hong's brother Fu An, is he still alive?" ”

Lei Rong clenched his fists and bowed: "That Fu An was only injured, but his life is safe, Changshi can rest assured." ”

"Bring him in, and I'll see." Li Yanzhi greeted Lei Rongdao. Lei Rong clenched his fists to receive the order, and then beckoned to the subordinates who were escorting the captives on the side: "Bring Na Fu'an forward." ”

With that, his subordinates brought Fu An forward. Li Yanzhi looked at Fu An, and when he saw his panicked face, he hurriedly ordered Lei Rong to say to him in nonsense: "You are from Liu Yin's evil, and this long history does not care about you." Later, dry food was distributed, and Zong Er and others left to return home. If you catch it again in the future, you will not be spared! ”

Li Yanzhi said nothing, only to see Fu An kneeling and kowtowing, but he said in Chinese again and again: "The general is benevolent and righteous, Fu An will not dare to take the general, and after returning to his hometown, he will admonish the patriarch and no longer be recruited as an evil ......."
