On the road from Chenggu to Hanzhong, although there are no high mountains, but unlike Jingzhou, there are many small mountain ranges, Ma Hong considered that the Yu tribe is good at frontal combat, so he set up a stronghold on the top of a hill of eighty or ninety meters, depending on the height and low, and when the time comes, it may still have some advantages with the Yu clan. Of course, Ma Hong's move seems to be very similar to the move of the fifth brother Ma Tan in history, but it is different. First, Ma Hong faced the family, and Ma Tan faced Zhang He; Second, the mountain where Ma Tan is stationed should be much higher than his eighty or ninety meter hill, although Ma Hong has never been there; Third, behind Ma Hong is Gan Ning, who is sure that Gan Ning can stop Yang Ren and Yang Ang and will not be dumplings; If the Fourth Clan wants to trap Ma Hong, they have to cross their current stronghold, and if the Clan crosses the stronghold, Ma Hong will lose.

As soon as Ma Hong set up a stronghold on this unknown hill, he ordered his soldiers to collect rolling stones, cut wood, and clear all obstacles in front of the mountain, acting as a defensive tool on one side and not hindering archers from archery on the other. Originally, Ma Hong was also ready to let Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun lead the troops to fight hard with the Yu clan, but after listening to Gan Ning's words, he felt that if he worked hard, he might lose more soldiers, so he used defense instead of attacking.

"Gan Ning is too cautious, I Zhang Fei has fought countless battles big and small, is it so cautious to fight a minority group? Are they fiercer than the Xianbei tribe? ”

Zhang Fei touched the blood on his nose and asked.

Zhao Yun was silent, he was not a man of many words. Ma Hong did not say anything, he was standing and looking at the sun, today's sun is different from the past, there is a circle of light around the sun, this circle of light is called the sun halo, it is said that the folk have the proverb of "the sun halo three more rain, the moon halo noon wind". Of course, Ma Hong doesn't know if this proverb exists in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it did exist in Ma Hong's time, although Ma Hong's level of observing celestial phenomena is worse than that of Zhuge Liang, but as a traverser in the 21st century, although the haze was thick in that era, the weather forecast no longer needs to look at the sky, just look at the mobile phone. However, at the end of the 20th century, that is, in the 90s, Ma Hong once learned a trick from his Chinese teacher to observe the heavens. At that time, Ma Hong's hometown was in a big drought, and it was said that when it rained, the school would have a three-day holiday, and one day there was a solar halo around the sun, and Ma Hong was still a primary school student at that time, and he was surprised like other primary school students, what was going on, could it be that the sun exploded. At this time, Ma Hong's Chinese teacher said with a very familiar look in class: "This indicates that heavy rain is coming." Then he told the students a lot of stories about the sunset, of course, Ma Hong had forgotten the age, but Ma Hong remembered that the heavy rain was coming, and there would be a holiday as soon as it rained, how good!

However, as a result, not a single drop of rain fell.

Then the Chinese teacher was secretly scolded by the primary school students for more than ten days, of course, some rumors came to the ears of the Chinese teacher, and the teacher felt very helpless. When Ma Hong grew up, he still remembered that incident, and went to collect information about the sundial, and also understood that what the Chinese teacher said back then was not a lie. However, the appearance of solar halo does not mean that there must be thundershowers, but the possibility is still not small, and Ma Hong has to pay attention to it.

"Oh, you even ignore me, what's so nice about the sun."

Zhang Fei untied the wine jug from Ma Hong's waist with some dissatisfaction, and was about to drink.

Ma Hong snatched the wine jug back from Zhang Fei's hand, glanced at Zhang Fei and said, "What do you think you should do if the Yu clan appears in the middle of the night and you get drunk?" ”

"I, Zhang Fei, will get drunk, don't laugh." Zhang Fei laughed.

Ma Hong didn't care if Zhang Fei would get drunk, but patted Zhang Fei's shoulder and said, "Brother Fei, do you think there is a circle of light around the sun, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Fei looked up, rolled his eyes, and said, "Could it be that the sky is changing?" ”

Ma Hong expressed his admiration for Zhang Fei's reflexes.

"There is a real possibility that the weather will change, and there may be thundershowers." Zhao Yun, who didn't talk much, wiped his spear and said.

"There is such a sentence, I don't know if the two of you have heard it, the sun is halo and the rain is three, and the moon is halo and the wind is at noon." Ma Hong said.

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, but I've seen this situation before, and then it rained heavily that night." ”

"Haha, I've learned another trick from Lao Zhang."

That night, before the third watch (twelve o'clock in the night), a thunderclap in the air woke Ma Hong up, Ma Hong walked out of the camp, and after a while the rain came, and the rain soon extinguished the torches. Zhao Yun was keeping vigil in the front camp, Zhang Fei heard the thunder, woke up and sighed, "The military advisor is really a genius!" ”

It's just that as soon as Zhang Fei's voice fell, he suddenly heard a noise outside the camp, Zhang Fei didn't remove his armor, turned over and picked up the snake spear and walked out of the camp tent. The big raindrops hitting his face made him sober up a lot.

"Where's Phineas?"

Zhang Fei heard Ma Hong calling him from a distance, but it was pitch black in front of him, and he could only walk towards the source of the sound with wide eyes. By this time he had heard singing, in a language he did not understand, singing a very harsh song.

Zhang Fei found Ma Hong, Ma Hong grabbed Zhang Fei's hand and said loudly: "Brother Fei, follow me to the front camp." Enemy attack. ”

Zhang Fei was shocked, in such weather, even the torches were extinguished, how the Yu tribe attacked on the mountain road, how to illuminate, why they sang before the attack, this clearly means that I am coming to fight you, you are ready to fight. Zhang Fei couldn't help but say, "Is this the enemy's plan?" ”

Ma Hong grabbed Zhang Fei's hand and said: "Brother Fei, do you care what plan you don't care about whether you plan or not, I didn't hear that the singing is near, what strategies can ethnic minorities have, it is estimated that singing is just a ritual to start a war." ”

In fact, it is true, the Yu clan braved the heavy rain, under the light of lightning has approached the front camp where Zhao Yun is stationed, in the heavy rain, the arrows can't shoot far at all, there is no torch illumination, the soldiers have lost their vision, only relying on the light brought by the lightning can barely see the enemy's location, but it can only be seen for a few seconds.

"Zilong, Zilong, how's it going?"

Zhao Yun's armor was easy to find at night, and Ma Hong took Zhang Fei to find Zhao Yun with a slight breath.

"Strategist, the enemy has arrived."

As soon as Zhao Yun's words fell, suddenly there was a crash from the helmet, Zhao Yun shouted to be careful, at this time, many soldiers were hit by unknown objects, covering their faces and falling to the ground. It turned out that it was the people who took advantage of the lightning to throw the stones in their hands at the soldiers guarding the camp, and these people wrapped the stones around them with ropes, threw them in the air, and threw them to the camp with the power. They are constantly moving, and the Jingzhou army is just standing in the camp and guarding the camp, which is fixed, they only need to catch the light of lightning to see where the Jingzhou army is, and they can throw the stone out. However, the clans in the eyes of the Jingzhou army were moving, and those clans were moving quickly in the dark, approaching the camp.

"Crossbowman, prepare." Zhao Yun stretched out his hand, his eyes widened, he heard the sound of the enemy approaching, and shouted: "Release the arrow, release the arrow." ”

As the arrows rained, the time for the crossbowmen to set up their arrows in the darkness was much slower, and when the third wave of arrows was fired, the soldiers of the Yu tribe had already climbed up to the camp and fought with the Jingzhou army in the dark.

The Jingzhou army was suddenly attacked by the Yu clan, coupled with the darkness of the night, and it was already a little scrambling. The wooden wall of the camp is only enough for one or two people to fight, and the long weapon can only be stabbed down, when the enemy attacked, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei could not draw their waist swords to fight the enemy hand-to-hand.

Fortunately, the gate of the camp was blocked by two knife carts, and the clan could not attack it for a while.

Under the lightning and thunder, Ma Hong was killed by the escort group and Li Yuhu, and Ma Hong did not dare to use his sword, because he was afraid of accidentally injuring his own people, and he was even more afraid of being accidentally injured by his own people. Li Mo shuttled through the night, killing one person with every knife and killing two people with every step, but no matter how strong the killing intent was, no matter how strong the generals were, they couldn't stop the impact of this group of barbarians.

More and more people crossed the camp wall, Ma Hong couldn't help but order to withdraw to the second camp, the fighting power of the people was already strong, the Jingzhou army was caught off guard, plus the group of madmen sang and fought at the same time, it has made many soldiers in the Jingzhou army have a cowardly heart, and it is easy to injure people by mistake when fighting in the dark.
