Yan Liang, who is in Yecheng, has been turned into a mad dog who has made a great oath with hatred and anger, and swears that even if he chases him to the ends of the earth, he will eat Jiang Qi's flesh and skin!

Detectives went out to find out the traces of the Pingcheng army. Although Yan Liang was eager for revenge at this time, he was still an excellent general. As for this Pingcheng army, through the information from the state side and the intelligence collection of this army in recent days, we have understood what is going on with this army. As for the future movements of the Heijo Army, there is actually a rough speculation.

Generally speaking, the purpose of the Pingcheng Army is to seize Jizhou into the division, and as far as the current situation is concerned, there are two options for the direction of escape after the Pingcheng Army captures Yecheng. Wucheng in the west and Binh Duong in the east. Comparatively speaking, it is closer to enter the division through Wucheng, and Pingyang City is the direction in which Yan Liang leads the army back, he feels that Jiang Qi will not choose Pingyang City to go around and turn back to Sili, and the only way to escape is Wucheng!

Yan Liang sent a quick horse to inform the Wucheng defenders that they must defend the city. In his opinion, the Pingcheng Army is a lone army and has a natural disadvantage. Although they have achieved some victories by surprise and intrigues, if the entire Wei County is really on guard, they will not be able to bargain at all. If Wucheng can hold out for a while and trap them, he will definitely be able to annihilate his army when he arrives with a large army.

Just as Yan Liang was preparing to rush to Wucheng with a large army, a soldier came to report that an enemy general named Zhang Liao had led a group of soldiers and horses to surrender to him.

Hearing that the enemy was coming, Yan Liang immediately ordered someone to disarm the troops brought by Zhang Liao, and tied Zhang Liao over to see him.

In the Chinese military tent, Zhang Liao was tied up by the five flowers and did not kneel, and looked at Yan Liang who was waiting for a pair of blood-red hateful eyes in front of him.

"Kill my whole family, I will kill you to vent your hatred today!" Yan Liang said viciously. He drew his sword and pointed it at Zhang Liao's chest.

"Jiang Qi is brutal and unkind, killing innocents indiscriminately, I have already parted ways with him, I wanted to come to Yan Taishou, but I didn't expect that you are also this kind of person. If you want to kill, you will kill, I am not afraid of death, I can only sigh that there is no justice in the world! ”

Zhang Liao's righteousness was awe-inspiring, and he was not afraid of Yan Liang's sword at all. Straightened his chest forward, but forced Yan Liang to retract his sword backwards.

Zhang Liao's words made him suspicious, and he said in a deep voice: "If you are sincere, you can tell Jiang Qi's whereabouts." ”

"I want to inform Yan Taishou of this matter. After Jiang Qi captured Yecheng, he had already led his army to Pingyang City. ”

When Yan Liang heard Zhang Liao say this, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he suddenly shouted: "Someone! Pull this thief out and behead him! ”

The soldiers on the left and right stepped forward to pull Zhang Liao out of the tent, Zhang Liao was surprised, and struggled to say to Yan Liang: "The general really wants to kill the righteous people? ”

Yan Liang sneered and said: "The Jiang thief obviously fled to Wucheng, and was instructed by him to deceive me and go astray, how can I not kill you?" ”

Zhang Liao defended: "I didn't deceive Yan Taishou, Jiang Qi did go to Pingyang City, I and Jiang Qi have long been incompatible, how can I still be instructed by him?" In order to prove my sincerity, I also stole his saber, please watch it for Mrs. Yan! ”

Belch? Yan Liang hesitated again when he heard Zhang Liao say this. The knife brought by the soldier Zhang Liao was presented, Yan Liang pulled the knife out of the scabbard, and immediately a cold air rushed to his face.

Good knives! Yan conscience couldn't help but praise in his heart!

Zhang Liao explained on the side: "This knife is called 'Full Moon Scimitar', which is made by the Chang'an Arsenal and uses Wuzi steel from the Western Regions, which is a divine weapon that sharpens iron like clay. At that time, there was also a blue blood sword forged together with this knife, which was given to Jiang Qi and Zhao Yun by the Son of Heaven to wear respectively. ”

Yan Liang raised the full moon scimitar and looked at it all over his body, and said curiously: "I have also heard about the full moon scimitar, is this one?" ”

I took other knives and tried them, and the full moon scimitar broke the ordinary sword in two like slicing tofu.

"Sure enough, it's a divine weapon!" Yan Liang praised in amazement.

The treasure knife BMW is very popular with military generals in this era, and it is to be cherished as a part of life to have a treasure knife, Zhang Liao can steal Jiang Qi's treasure knife and dedicate it to Yan Liang, so that Yan Liang's suspicion of him has been reduced by half, but if you believe what Zhang Liao said, Yan Liang still can't do it. After hesitating again and again, he finally said: "For the time being, I will detain Er in the camp, and then cut off Er's dog head when I arrive in Wucheng!" ”

Imprisoned Zhang Liao and others in the army, Yan Liang led the army to Wucheng in a hurry, but when he arrived in Wucheng, he found that it was intact and there was no trace of a battle at all.

The uneasiness in his heart arose faintly, and Yan Liang asked the guard general with a cold face: "Did you neglect to order the Pingcheng army to run away?" ”

The general of Wucheng said with a sad face: "Taishou strictly ordered us to stop the thief army, how dare I be negligent, I send scouts and cavalry to investigate everywhere every day, but I really didn't see any trace of the enemy, if dozens of people quietly walked around Wucheng, I didn't dare to say that I would definitely find out, but how could the troops of thousands of people neglect to overlook?" ”

Yan Liang also felt that what he said was reasonable, in fact, he chased all the way and did not find any traces of the march, and then thought of Zhang Liao's words, his heart suddenly cooled half, and hurriedly ordered: "The whole army returns and gallops to Pingyang." ”

On the way back to the army, the news of Pingyang City had already arrived. The Pingcheng army broke through Pingyang City, and the defender Wei Yuan entered the head.

Only then did Yan Liang completely believe Zhang Liao's words, released him, and apologized to him: "I regret not listening to Captain Zhang's words." ”

"Jiang Qi is cunning and scheming, and there is no way for Yan Taishou to be deceived for a while." Zhang Liao comforted him.

Then he reminded Yan Liang: "After the Jiang thief captures Pingyang, he will inevitably turn south, Yan Taishou should march immediately, and he must not let this thief escape." ”

"I'm afraid I can't catch up at this point." Yan Liang said regretfully.

Zhang Liao suggested: "Jiang Thief has committed many injustices, and his subordinates are either falling apart or dissatisfied with him, and there is nothing to be afraid of at this time. Yan Taishou dragged the army slowly, why not abandon the army and pursue it with light horses? ”

Yan Liang also had this idea in his heart, so he followed Zhang Liao's suggestion and set off with only two thousand light horses.

A subordinate admonished him: "The art of war is the most taboo to divide the troops and advance lightly." It was too dangerous for Taishou to pursue with only a small number of soldiers and horses. ”

However, Yan Liang was eager for revenge, did not listen to dissuasion at all, and insisted on taking 2,000 cavalry to Pingyang City.

Throwing off the large army and only riding lightly, the army did increase the speed quite a bit. In particular, Yan Liang traveled day and night regardless of horsepower, and rushed to Pingyang City in only three or four days.

The scouts sent reported that the Pingcheng army had crossed the Zhanghe River and headed south three days earlier. Yan Liang hurriedly led the army to follow without stopping.

The day was in a valley with rough roads and scorching sun. The soldiers were exhausted and exhausted after several days of travel, and they asked for rest.

Yan Liang was anxious for revenge, and seeing that the cliffs on both sides of this valley were steep, it was completely a good place to ambush. Worried, he did not allow the soldiers to rest, and whipped many soldiers who were lying on the ground and hummed.

However, the soldiers could be whipped by horses, but the horses could not catch up. A few horses have even foamed at the mouth and died. While the army was in chaos, an earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded from both sides of the valley, and a rain of arrows poured down from the top of the cliff.

At the same time, a huge roar sounded on both sides of the valley, and dust was everywhere, and the roads in front and behind the valley were blocked by falling rocks.

Suddenly someone made dumplings, and Yan Liangjun immediately fell into chaos. Yan Liang tried his best to restrain the troops to fight, but the rugged mountain roads were not suitable for cavalry combat at all, so Yan Liang had to order the cavalry to dismount and protect themselves with shields, temporarily in a defensive situation of passive beating.

Yan Liang knew that they were in danger at this time, and if they lived at the bottom of the valley for a long time, they would be in danger of destruction, and the roads before and after them had been blocked, he carefully observed the surroundings, and he found that there was a mountain slope with a gentle slope, so he concentrated his soldiers to force his way up the cliff from there.

In adversity, Yan Liang took the lead and led the soldiers to attack the hillside. Although the arrows on the top of the cliff are like rain, he relies on his strong martial arts, dials the feather arrows, and moves forward bravely. The soldiers behind him were also inspired by him, and burst out with the courage and strength to survive in a desperate situation. Even Wang Yun, who was watching the battle on the mountain, had to say in admiration: "Yan Liang is really a famous general in Hebei, and his strength is no less than Lu Bu!" ”

Jiang Qi next to him heard this, but he didn't think so. Lu Bu's martial arts are naturally unsurpassed, but what really makes him the first person in the world is his superb command art as the strongest tactician of this era. And Yan Liang, at best, is just the courage of a horseman.

Your Majesty once said that the future war will test the command ability of the generals, the bravery and teamwork of the soldiers, the sophistication and sophistication of the weapons, and the adequacy and perfection of logistics. The era when individual bravery will determine the course of war is almost a thing of the past.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qi silently drew out his war knife and raised it in the air.

"Brothers, kill with me!"

The earth-shattering roar echoed Jiang Qi's voice, followed by a torrent of charges rushing down the cliff.

Almost at the same time that Jiang Qi led his army to rush down the hillside, Zhang Liao, the rear of Yan Liang's army, also suddenly attacked.

Yan Liang turned his head and glared at Zhang Liao angrily, at this time he already understood that all this was Jiang Qi's trick, he underestimated the enemy, and now it was too late to regret it!

I couldn't take care of Zhang Liao in the rear, seeing Jiang Qi rushing down, the enemy was very red when he saw him, Yan Liang waved a big knife, and greeted him with a roar.

It's just that before the two armies collided together, a few sky-high thunderbolts beckoned to Yan Liang, who was leading the charge. The sound of explosions sounded around Yan Liang, and the flames burst out, and almost at the same time, a dense number of crossbow arrows were concentrated towards Yan Liang.

After the black smoke of gunpowder dissipated, Yan Liang half-knelt on the ground, his face was blackened, the armor on his body didn't know where it was blown away, dozens of crossbow arrows were shot at his body, and he held the long knife in both hands to support his body motionless.

Jiang Qi walked in front of him in a few steps, and without saying a word, he slashed with his sword, and Yan Liang's head flew into the sky.

In fact, Yan Liang was already dead under the attack of the crossbow and the sky-piercing thunder just now, but Jiang Qi still gave Yan Liangjun a great impact by swinging his knife and cutting off his head, causing this army to completely collapse.

When the last enemy fell, the valley erupted in shouts of victory.

Jiang Qi and Zhang Liao walked together covered in blood, and suddenly crossed their arms, with the first relaxed smile on their faces since the defeat fled.

"We won."

"Win!"

In June of the fifth year of Guangxi, Wei County Taishou, one of the four court pillars of Hebei, Yan Liangzhongfu, was killed. The leaderless soldiers and horses of Wei County were no longer capable of pursuing the Pingcheng army, and after a month of escape, Jiang Qi led the Pingcheng army to finally return safely to the territory of Sili Prefecture.
