"Back to Zhoumu, when I received the latest news, General He had already left Michi, and now he has arrived at Sanmenkun, which is about a day and a night away from our army."

He Man couldn't be counted on in a short period of time, and He Chen asked again: "What about Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's troops?" ”

"Generals Zhang Liao and Xu Huang have left Luoyang, and in order to prevent being attacked by Lu Bu, they have advanced with Sun Jian's army in two directions, echoing each other from afar. Now it's almost in Caoyang's position. ”

Damn, it's further away, it seems that you can only rely on yourself.

He Chen returned the same way by moonlight, and soon returned to the simple camp tent, but fortunately, He Chen did not take it lightly when he set up camp, but asked Huang Zhong to arrange the fortifications, although it was simple, but it was better than nothing. At this time, in the temporary village, it was very busy, and the soldiers were nervously and energetically gathering, and the queue was full of slogans. All the soldiers had more or less tired faces, but they all had their chests held out, their blood-stained weapons in their hands, and their eyes were full of determination. In the southeast of Dazhai, this is specially set aside to settle the people, dozens of bonfires are still burning, most of them are tired together, their faces are full of horror.

More than a dozen generals gathered together, a little anxious, and stomped back and forth in front of He Chen's main camp. Seeing He Chen coming back, they were obviously relieved and hurriedly greeted him.

He Chen let go of Cai Yan's hands, and said with a gloomy face: "Lu Chang, can you find out the number of the enemy army?" ”

Lu Chang shook his head and said, "The cavalry is extremely fast, and it is in the dark of night, so our army can't judge. ”

"Lord, the situation is a little bad, with the current fortifications, it is absolutely impossible to withstand the impact of the opponent's cavalry, once the barrier is lost, the soldiers are exposed to the opponent's sword, and our army is not equipped with heavy infantry, I am afraid that the west of the Liang Iron Cavalry is brave, and it is difficult for our army to resist the opponent's charge."

"Governor Mu, if you don't evacuate first, your subordinates will lead thousands of people and horses to entangle each other here." Lu Chang continued.

"No, the cavalry is terrible because of the powerful deterrent and impact brought by their group charge, once they can't form an effective block, if they really let them rush up, ten times the strength of the force can't stop the opponent's footsteps. If you retreat at this time, I am afraid that you will lose even worse. He Chen flatly denied.

Lu Chang said anxiously: "The terrain here is complicated, most of them are small roads, and even the official road is only enough for a two-horse carriage to pass, plus the fortifications arranged before, the cavalry army can not really give full play to their advantages, and the combat power is less than four or five percent of the usual, it is a good place for our army to block, the lord does not need to worry, or evacuate quickly." ”

"Exactly, the lord should quickly retreat with the people and the truck." Lou Gui also spoke out to persuade him.

Truck? A strange thought suddenly appeared in He Chen's mind, and it became more and more full as his thoughts extended.

"You don't need to say it again, there is no need to discuss this matter, Lou Gui listens to the order." He Chen opened his mouth suddenly, blocking the generals who were still about to speak, and his tone became slightly excited.

"The end will be." Lou Gui's face turned straight and he said loudly.

"I order you to lead five hundred soldiers, organize the remnants, wounded soldiers, and civilians, and quickly retreat to Yuyuan Pass, without mistake."

"Lord......" Lou Gui was taken aback, and hurriedly wanted to beg He Chen to change his mind.

"You want to disobey orders? He Chen said sharply.

"It's the lord, and my subordinates will do it immediately." Lou Gui replied helplessly, his eyes full of loss.

"Lou Gui, if you can safely lead the people back to Yuyuan Pass, this matter will be your first credit." He Chen clearly observed Qiu Hao, and Lou Gui's disappointed expression fell into his eyes without revealing a hint of it, but he didn t want to chill these people were good and loyal, and then added a sentence.

"The subordinates swear to complete the task." Lou Gui's spirits perked up a little, and his mood also rose.

He Chen nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "Lu Chang, you immediately gather the existing halberders and pikemen of our army, and you must complete this matter in a short time." ”

"No." Although Lu Chang didn't understand He Chen's intentions, he knew one thing very well, the best way to break the cavalry was to have heavy infantry in front of him to resist the strong charge of the cavalry, force the impact to slow down, and then cooperate with the spear or halberd soldier to attack, this effect is the best, and it is also the most likely to form effective damage. It's just that there is no heavy step now, and it is not a problem to have pikemen alone? I don't know which one He Chen played?

He Chen's expression flashed with some pain, and then he gritted his teeth, and said in a trembling voice: "Yan Ming, you immediately organize people, two two-wheeled vehicles in a row, ten in a group, all tied with ropes, across the road that Dazhai must pass, a certain to let these Xiliang cavalry who think they are brave and martial arts have no return." He Chen roared viciously. Damn, I actually forced Lao Tzu to use these cars loaded with gold and silver treasures as defense tools, isn't this more sad than forcing Lao Tzu to hang himself? Today, if you don't kill all this Xiliang Iron Ride, Lao Tzu He Chen read the word upside down.

"Zhou Mu, where can I find a rope at this time?" Yan Ming touched his head and said with a sneer.

He Chen was angry, he was really a brainless guy, and he couldn't help roaring angrily: "Without a rope, you wouldn't have dismantled the tent cloth strips?" If you can't do this, you can also tear your belt and clothes into pieces, and you won't use your brain a little bit for such a simple thing? ”

Although Yan Ming was reprimanded, he didn't feel a little ashamed, but smirked: "What the state pastor said is right, I just want to do it." ”

He Chen froze, and then shook his head helplessly, worried that this guy would really untie his belt and tear his trousers.

Seeing that the generals acted separately after the order, the whole camp became more chaotic, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and the atmosphere of the big war enveloped everyone's hearts. Under the constant persuasion of the soldiers, most of the people obeyed Lou Gui's command and began to evacuate quickly from the south. A small part stayed there, but they did not leave, saying that they wanted to help the state pastor and resist the enemy army together, and the soldiers had no choice but to let them.

He Chen breathed a sigh of relief, casually put on the helmet that Yan Ming had replaced when he left, tied the rope, and tidied up his armor, and then said softly to Cai Yan: "Yan'er, now that the situation has changed, you first return to Wancheng with Lou Gui, and wait for the good news of a certain with peace of mind." ”

"No, Yan'er is going to be here." To He Chen's surprise, Cai Yan gritted his lips tightly, but his weak appearance said resolutely.

He Chen had a headache and said: "Yan'er, you are also a reasonable person who knows right from wrong, at this time, the situation has changed, and you can only increase the concern of He in vain if you stay here, it is better to return to Nanyang Kuan and wait for Hou." ”

Cai Yan still shook his head resolutely, his eyes were full of tears and said: "The war is so cruel and ruthless, and the state pastor is fighting on the front line, but Yan'er can't help anything, and her heart is miserable. The only thing I can do now is to hope that the second song of the piano can be introduced, one song is the victory of Zhuzhou Muqi, and the second song is the triumphant return of Hezhou Mu. ”

He Chen was stunned, he didn't know what to say for a while, his heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, there were any tastes of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. The beauty is so affectionate, she can't live up to it no matter what, even if she spares her old life, she will bite these dogs to death. He Chen's ghost made a miracle, and he nodded slightly, and when he came back to his senses, he was already covered with water and could not return.

Cai Yan broke into tears and smiled, the tears on his face glistened in the moonlight, even the steel melted into it.

At this time, Huang Zhong hurriedly walked over, and a thick smell of blood that could not be dissolved came to his nose. Although after several battles and not much rest, Huang Zhong still showed his vigor and energy. He Chenjian raised his eyebrows, and he seemed to feel the strong atmosphere on the eve of the big war from him, and said with a smile: "Is the enemy army already here?" ”

Huang Zhong nodded solemnly, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "It's about a quarter of an hour." ”

He Chen nodded, the tips of his ears trembled slightly, as if he felt the sound of air fluctuations and trembling, and slowly took a breath and said, "Let's go." ”

"Yan'er, you are in the Chinese army Dazhai, don't let someone worry." When He Chen was leaving, Qianbai instructed.

Gently bowing his head, Cai Yan's smile was full of worry.

He Chen was ruthless, turned his head to say goodbye, and walked with Huang Zhong, and soon disappeared into the crowd of soldiers.

A line of tears hung on his face, but Cai Yan's beautiful smile never faded.

Before He Chen came to Dazhai, a simple wooden fence had been placed in front of him, and the sharpened wood was all outside. There was a ravine behind that was not very wide, but of a certain length, and a large number of archers had been ambushed in place, occupying all the dangerous positions, or in the trees, or in the ravines, or on the flat ground, and everyone waited quietly and peacefully for the enemy to arrive. Yan Ming was sweating profusely and kept directing the soldiers to put the two-wheeled vehicles side by side and occupy the middle of the avenue. All the vehicles are neatly arranged, and in the middle of every two groups, there is a gap that can only accommodate one person. Apparently this was set aside on purpose.

At this time, Lu Chang also came over in a hurry and said: "Huizhou Mu, the spear and halberd soldiers have been assembled, a total of two thousand three hundred, and they are waiting for Hou Zhoumu to order the assignment of tasks." ”

He Chen slapped his palms fiercely and said loudly: "Okay, Lu Chang, can you see this two-wheeled car array?" ”

Lu Chang glanced up, his face showed a look of awakening, and said happily: "My subordinates already have eyebrows in their hearts. ”

"The soldiers are divided into ten groups, all of which occupy the empty space in the car formation, so that unless they have winged horses, they don't want to fly." He Chen was full of spirits, and his mouth frothed.

Sure enough, when the subordinates saw the convoy, they thought that the governor should be trying to use this method to block the cavalry attack. Once the cavalry is unable to charge, the horses will become a burden, forcing the opponent to dismount and fight on foot, greatly reducing the opponent's combat effectiveness. The state pastor can guide the benefits according to the situation, make the best use of things, and really be wise and resourceful, and his subordinates will obey. Lu Chang's face was full of respect, and his tone was even more respectful, and his mouth was full of sycophants.

At this moment, the earth suddenly trembled incessantly, and then an inaudible dense sound sounded, and soon it became clearer and clearer, and the sound of hooves burst out, like a muffled thunder resounding through the night sky, and its momentum was overwhelming, endless.

"All the soldiers are immediately in position and ready for battle." He Chen's face changed, and he roared loudly.

"Report to the lord, the scout to report, judging from the direction and number of the cavalry, it is very likely to be Wei Xu, a strong general under Lu Bu."

"What?" He Chen's heart sank to the bottom at this moment, and his hands and feet were cold.
