Tian Jing pointed at Zang Shun and said to Zhang Quan: "This is Zang Shun, the son of the third uncle, who said that he would introduce it to you during the day, and it is not too late now." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Quan hurriedly greeted Zang Shun, but Zhang Quan was one year older than Zang Shun, and the two were brothers.

Tian Jing smiled, "Our three divisions are out of the same family, and it is fate that we can fight side by side." I originally wanted to drink hard and not get drunk, but now I can't? ”

"Why is that?" Zhang Quan asked.

"Since Hu Cai has prepared a pocket array for us, how can we disappoint him. I'm just afraid that tonight will be a little harder, and I am ready to lead the soldiers and horses of the battalion of Hu Cai to cross the mountain overnight to ambush behind Hu Cai. Brother Zhang Quan, you lead your Huben Lieutenant Battalion to rest well today, and tomorrow morning, with many banners, swagger to chase the enemy in the valley that Mao An said. When your team is almost in front of the pass, just fire your arrows. Once the enemy is discovered, when he comes out to attack, I will cover and kill him from behind. We will kill him without leaving a piece of armor behind. Tian Jing said.

Zhang Quan heard it: "This plan is very good, but it is too boring for me to be a suspicious soldier, how about I lead the troops beyond that Hu Cai's back road?" ”

Tian Jing said with a smile: "You told me about the conditions, hehe, but my subordinates have fought more than ten battles with me to suppress bandits in Guanzhong, and this battle of digging the enemy's nest over the mountains has not been less, and everyone has ropes, and they are like walking on flat ground over the mountains and mountains." If your men have such skills, I will give you the task of surprise attack. ”

Zhang Quan smiled bitterly, "I sometimes think, how can you have so many strange ideas in your head?" It's really unfortunate to be your enemy, but I'm your brother. ”

Tian Jing smiled and gave Zhang Quan a punch, and took Zang Shun out of the camp to prepare. At night, Tian Jing led the men and horses of the Hu Cavalry Lieutenant Battalion, took Mao An and a local mountain man as guides, and headed for the valley dozens of miles north of the city.

He walked all the way without speaking, and after a few hours, he arrived at the place that Mao An said. Tian Jing motioned for everyone to be silent, and then led the troops to detour through the deep mountains and dense forests on the east side of the valley. Fortunately, some mountain people remember the mountain road they often took for hunting and chopping, otherwise they would have been lost in the mountains during this night march. The soldiers of Captain Hu's battalion have ropes around their waists, and they can barely cope with climbing up and down along the way. Before coming up from this mountain, I saw that it was not high or big, but when I entered the mountain, I realized how reasonable the saying "looking at the mountain and running a dead horse" was, and it seemed that there was no end to it.

At dawn the next day, Tian Jing's Hu Cavalry Lieutenant Battalion finally came out of the mountain. Tian Jing asked his subordinates to rest for a while before letting Mao An identify the direction, and then led the men and horses to slowly approach the place where Hu Cai was ambushed. After walking for a stick of incense, he suddenly saw a faint figure flickering in front of him, and Tian Jing hurriedly ordered everyone to hide. After a while, the figure walked away again, not finding anything unusual at all.

Hu Cai arranged for men and horses to lie in ambush in the dense forests on the slopes on both sides of the valley, and did not dare to send many scouts to detect the enemy for fear that the enemy would find out, and they would not think of anyone behind them, so they were almost defenseless.

Tian Jing asked the crossbowmen to find a good position, and the sword and shield men were ready to charge at any time, and then they waited with peace of mind. Whether this battle can be fought well depends on whether Zhang Quan's soldiers and horses can be well worn.

Zhang Quan reorganized the army early this morning, except for a few people who stayed in Pusaka and waited for the army behind, the rest of the men and horses all went out to fight. Tian Jing marched yesterday night, and the banners and horses of Captain Hu's battalion were left in the camp, so Zhang Quan asked people to deliberately put up more banners, and the team of 700 people looked like two or three thousand people. Zhang Quan led his troops all the way slowly, because he was not sure whether Tian Jing's men and horses had reached the designated position now, and he would be a target for the enemy in the morning. Seeing that it was delayed until noon, Zhang Quan felt that the enemy in ambush had been waiting for a long time, and his spirit was already a little slackened at this time, and it was estimated that Tian Jing's soldiers and horses were almost in place, so he accelerated his march.

When he arrived at the valley depicted by Mao An, Zhang Quan ordered a platoon of sword and shield men to open the way first, followed by crossbowmen and crossbowmen into the valley, and cavalry and other mobile troops followed several miles away. Zhang Quan led the troops cautiously forward, walked for several miles but did not see the enemy, and when he saw that he was about to reach the mouth of the valley, Zhang Quan knew that it was time to prepare. If it weren't for knowing the information in advance, to be honest, the last hundred meters or so would probably be the burial place of Zhang Quan's hundreds of soldiers and horses.

Zhang Quan motioned for the soldiers and horses to stop advancing, and Hu Cai's ambushed soldiers felt their hearts reach their throats, and they said that there must be something wrong. As a result, Zhang Quan looked at the surrounding terrain and continued to order the troops to advance.

After the Han troops entered the ambush, Hu Cai gave an order, the archers were in position, and the infantry came out of the grass and swarmed up. Who knew that the Han army was not panicked, there were already sword and shield men to protect the front and flanks, and the Han army's crossbowmen seemed to have been prepared, and arrows rained down for a while. Hu Caixin said that no matter how prepared you are, you can't escape my palm. It turned out that he had ambushed a group of 200 dead soldiers on the mountain beam, and as soon as the battle opened, the 200 men fell with ropes and appeared behind the Han army. These 200 people only entered the battle from behind, and the Han army was in chaos, and it was bound to break out, and when the time came, the whole army would attack and win a complete victory.

But he never thought that his 200 dead soldiers had just fallen from the mountain beam, and before they could play a role, they found more than 100 cavalry behind him. It turned out that Zhang Quan wanted to prevent being attacked from behind, but he let the cavalry stay far behind, which really worked.

Hu Cai's side naturally didn't know the situation of the two hundred dead soldiers, so he was ready to wait for the Han army to lead the charge in chaos. At this time, he suddenly found that many Han troops appeared behind him. It seems that he has been lying in ambush behind him for a long time. Hu Cai was shocked at this time, and said in his heart that he had met a master when he went south this time. It seems that the enemy is always one step ahead of him.

However, Hu Cai was a ruthless character who made a quick decision, and immediately ordered someone to set fire. One of the leaders below was taken aback: "Sanqu Shuai, this fire is together, but even we are burning." Hu Cai said fiercely, "Do what I order, I have my own measure." ”

After a while, a fire broke out in the mountains, and the Han army and the white wave thieves in the field were in chaos. Tian Jing just led the soldiers and horses to kill Hu Cai from behind, but he didn't prevent Hu Cai from setting fire, could he be the same and doomed. But after thinking about it, I have also surveyed the terrain, although there are some weeds and dead trees in this mountain, but the vegetation is not lush, and it is now the depths of winter, if the fire plan is only afraid that it will not work. That's why I gave up the plan to set fire, because that would only startle the snake.

But why did this Hu Cai set the fire? Before Tian Jing could figure it out, he suddenly found that billowing black smoke was burning from the place where the fire started. And as the smoke of the fire became bigger and bigger, Tian Jing smelled it and found that the enemy should use pine and cypress wood.

In this way, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy even if you look at the face, and the smoke has a tear-jerking effect, so the attack of the Han army immediately stalled. Tian Jing asked the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to maintain a formation as much as possible and stand by in place. If the enemy comes near, there is no mercy for killing; Do not move your own soldiers and horses to prevent accidental injury. Now Tian Jing hopes that Zhang Quan's men and horses will not rush too fast, otherwise if his own people fight, it will be troublesome.

Zhang Quan was much more miserable than Tian Jing at this time, it was now winter when the north wind was blowing, Hu Cai set the fire, Zhang Quan was downwind, and the fire had the greatest impact on his soldiers and horses. Zhang Quan wanted to control the situation anymore, although his subordinates were not burned to death, but there were not a few burns, plus the fire was frightened together and were afraid of being buried in the fire, so they scattered in a surge, and the soldiers and horses trampled on each other, but the casualties were even more serious.

The white wave thieves who fought between Tanaka and Zhang Quan Tianjing were no better, and they were in chaos when the fire broke out. In addition, the smoke is thick and there is no one to command, so you can only run around. However, Hu Cai led hundreds of elite soldiers to quickly leave the battlefield and quietly bypassed Tian Jing's team out of the valley.

The fire burned for about an hour, the fire was smaller, and the smoke slowly dispersed, Tian Jing immediately asked his soldiers and horses to block the mountain pass and exterminate the white wave thieves. Zhang Quan's side has also reorganized his troops and horses and killed them again. After two divisions, the white wave thieves were defeated, and all of them abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Tian Jing counted the battlefield, dozens of people were injured on his side, but Zhang Quan was there because of the fire and stampede killed and injured more than 100 people. However, compared to the losses, the record of killing more than 300 White Wave thieves and capturing nearly 1,000 people is still good. But it's a pity that Hu Cai and his cronies ran away. Tian Jing thought to himself that this person was really difficult to deal with, he was both resourceful and decisive, and he was really a good leader of the troops. If it weren't for each of them, I would really like to have a good fellowship with this person.

Tian Jing asked Zhang Quan to take the captives back to Pusaka, and when Zhu Jun's army arrived, he would lead his troops eastward. But his own group of people had to continue to pursue Hu Cai. If this person returns to Anyi safely, he is afraid that when he attacks the city in the future, there will be many more variables.

Tian Jing led his troops to continue northward, and for fear of chasing and losing Hu Cai, he sent scouts all the way to follow the enemy's whereabouts. After a day's travel, he never caught up with the enemy, but it was estimated that it should not be far away. Tian Jing asked the troops to camp and rest. chatted with Mao An, "This time you have also made a great contribution, what I said will naturally count, not only spare your life, but also give you credit." It's just that I must catch this nonsense, so you have to continue to follow me north. ”

"Thank you General, the little one is willing to follow the general. Not to mention arresting Hu Cai, even arresting Han Xian and Li Le, I am also willing to contribute to the general. Mao An hurriedly said.

"Arrest Han Xian and Li Le?" Tian Jing smiled, "I said Mao An, it's not that I look down on you, it's just that you had the guts to think about doing this business of killing officials and rebelling in the first place." also arrested Han Xian and Li Le, just afraid that when they saw you, they would want to sleep on your skin and eat your flesh, and when the time came, they would be so scared that you peed your pants. Can you tell me how to catch them? ”

"This, this ......" Mao An laughed a few times, not knowing how to answer.

Tian Jing didn't tease him anymore, "Let's talk about Anyi, what is the personality of this Han Xian and Li Le, and are there still capable generals under their command?" ”

"Yes, yes, this little one is clear, and he must know everything, and he will say everything." Mao An hurriedly said. Then he told Tian Jing about the power composition of the Bai Bo Army.

Early the next morning, Tian Jing was about to set off with his troops, but found that there was a heavy snowfall in the white expanse. Tian Jing was in a good mood, thinking that God really helped me, so I was not afraid that I would not find any trace of Hu Cai.
