"General, the Xuzhou army has begun to enter the valley."

Wei Dong looked at it from a high position, and saw that the forward battalion of the Xuzhou Army in front of the valley had been properly arranged and a basic defensive formation had been established.

Gao Yi, the captain of the forward battalion of the Xuzhou Army, saw that there was no abnormality outside the valley, and immediately sent a signal to the rear that it was safe and passable: "The search on both sides of the valley has been completed, there is no abnormality, and the basic defense under the mountain has also been built." So far, no trace of the enemy has been found, the road in the canyon is clear, the war horses are quiet, and there are no frightened birds at the summit, which is confirmed to be safe and passable. ”

The war horse ridden by the soldiers is not only the best companion of the soldiers, but also an effective animal that can be used for early warning. Animals are naturally more sensitive than most humans, and they are always one step ahead of the crowd of enemies hiding nearby.

Frightened birds bomb the forest, but it is a manifestation of the ambush in the forest, but this kind of expression is not as perfect as people imagine, in fact, if there are birds of prey and fierce beasts in the forest, there will also be animals bombing the forest. However, when combined with other methods of detecting the enemy, it can still be considered an effective way of detecting the enemy. Brutal warfare is always full of spears and shields, and soldiers have ways and means to observe the enemy, as well as various ways to avoid detection.

Sometimes the means you rely on will be cracked by the enemy in too much time, and people always learn from each other and progress each other in cracking and being cracked. And what they compare is who is one step earlier than whom, one step faster.

For example, although the bombing of the forest can determine whether there is a basis for ambushing the army, it can also be used as a means to enter in advance and expel the birds first, so as to avoid a large number of birds from alarming and attracting the attention of the enemy, so there is always a way to deal with everything in the world, and there is no immutable tactic. Therefore, in the Yunfeng Canyon, the Wei Dong Division, which had been here for many days, had already expelled the birds here.

"Speed up the march!" After receiving the return of the forward battalion, Wei Gang immediately gave the order. He didn't care too much about Yunfeng Canyon. After all, this is the inner area of Huaiyin Province. Although more than 100 miles south of this, there is the existence of Quyang City. However, since the Qi army captured Quyang City, the Qi army did not take offensive actions against the surrounding counties.

Of course, this is not to say that the Qi army looks down on the cities around Quyang City, but the Qi army has just taken Quyang City, and before they have taken Huaiyin City in one fell swoop, they learned the news that they were betrayed by the Yanzhou army and counterattacked by other princes. Therefore, the area around Quyang City is still under the jurisdiction of the Xuzhou Army. Not only that, Wei Gang can also get the news from these regions.

So far, he has not gotten the three counties south of Yunfeng Canyon occupied by enemy troops. There is no formed enemy army, and he has 8,000 soldiers in his hands, how can he be afraid of accidents? His current behavior is nothing more than what a veteran should do.

Regarding Wei Gang's cautious behavior, Wei Dong did not despise the other party's timidity, but sighed at the other party's caution. Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements, and the smallest things can see the ability of leading the army.

Eight thousand troops, say not too much, say no less. But in this not wide canyon, it does seem a bit too much. With the safety signal of the striker, the remaining 7,000 troops finally started. The so-called number of tens of thousands, boundless, although now less than 10,000 people, but the seven thousand army marched in a word, lined up, into a long snake, and also pulled out of Rich's team. Seven thousand sergeants hurried into the valley, and the officers in the rear kept shouting loudly, urging the soldiers to get through quickly.

But neither the soldiers nor the officers thought that there would be an enemy here, and they probably did not believe that the enemy would appear in their territory. In addition, the sentry had been eliminated, so none of the sergeants paid too much attention to their surroundings.

"Dangerous place, if it weren't for the fact that this is just the fastest road for Huaipu City to go south to Quyang City, and it is not the only one, I am afraid that this place will make another heavy city dangerous." Wei Gang couldn't help but sigh.

As a soldier, Wei Gang cares very much about this kind of dangerous place. For soldiers, this kind of dangerous place is of great significance. However, the stretch of this Yunfeng Mountain is not wide, and it can be bypassed dozens of miles from north to south. Therefore, there are no corporals to defend here.

"Hey...... Why didn't Murong become return to Yuzhou, but instead went south to the south of Xuzhou? Doesn't he want the land of Yuzhou? Besides, when the action was first taken, Yuzhou was still in his hands, and the army's grain and grass were also in Yuzhou, and there were tens of thousands of local garrisons in Yuzhou. With such an advantage, why did Murong Cheng watch the Yanzhou army annex Yuzhou? Wei Gang, who was in the Chinese army, couldn't help but think secretly.

"The Qi army wants to give up Quyang City, why is this? The back road was cut off, what confidence did Murong Cheng have to leave immediately? Could it be that Huaiyin City was taken by the Qi army? Forget it, that's not what I should be thinking about......"

Wei Gang suppressed the cranky thoughts in his heart, looked at it casually, and watched the army slowly disappear into this narrow and rugged valley, but a pair of eyes couldn't help but squint again. I don't know why, at this moment, faintly, a trace of ominous feeling inexplicably rose in his heart. To be honest, even he couldn't tell where this feeling came from, perhaps it was the instinct of a soldier to be dangerous, all in all, at this moment, an extremely dangerous feeling was like a large net covering the sky tightly over his head, difficult to dodge.

Seeing that the army had basically entered the Windward Canyon, Wei Gang suddenly asked a lieutenant general beside him, "Why is our army marching here with such momentum, but no birds appear on both sides of the canyon?" ”

The adjutant general was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "It may be that the brothers of the forward battalion passed by here and scared the bird away." Why, did the general find any problems? ”

Wei Gang shook his head and couldn't help but say, "I don't know what's going on, I always feel that we are walking towards a big trap, but I can't say what's wrong." ”

The adjutant general said with a smile: "The general doesn't have to worry, this is located in the territory of my Xuzhou, if there is an abnormal situation, someone should have reported us a long time ago." But so far, we have not received any reports of anything out of the ordinary. ”

"No, ask ahead, if there were any birds flying before?" The abnormal feeling in Wei Gang's heart has always lingered in his heart.

After a while, the cavalry of the pro-guard team transmitted back the results of the previous inquiry, and Wei Gang's face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "It's not good, there must be an ambush in the canyon!" Hurry up and give the order, the back team will turn to the front team, and exit the canyon immediately! ”

Wei Gang finally understood that something was wrong, thousands of troops passed by, and there was something here where birds and wild birds were active, but now, there was no major movement, it was very abnormal. Wei Gang regretted it a little, he knew that he shouldn't have taken a shortcut to save that time.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

It's a pity that Wei Gang's military order is still one step late, and besides, Wei Dong will not let them go. Just as Wei Gang was shouting, suddenly, there was an earth-shattering noise in the front and back of the Yunfeng Canyon and several places in the middle, and the boulders were blown away and fell into the valley with a bang, not only completely blocking the entry and exit routes of the army, but also directly dividing them into several sections.

"Earthquake Thunder?" As soon as he heard the loud noise and saw the situation in front of him, Wei Gang's brain was a little difficult for a moment. Being able to make such a loud noise that could cause the solid cliffs on both sides to collapse, he really couldn't think of anything other than Zhao Jun's earth-shattering thunder. However, this earth-shattering thunder is Zhao Jun's thing, how can it appear here? Could it be that Zhao Jun is lurking here?

On both sides of the Yunfeng Canyon, on the top of the mountain near the valley road, countless figures showed their figures at this time, and the banners of the Qi army stood on the peak, waving in the wind. Wei Dong and the others stood at the highest place, their eyes were calm, looking down. Next to them, there were countless soldiers dressed in Qi army armor, and beside the soldiers, there were many boulders the size of grinding plates.

"Let the first battalion deal with the enemy forces at Taniguchi, and they must be completely annihilated. The remaining four battalions dealt with the Xuzhou army in the valley. As for the second capital, let them immediately start taking over the southern counties of the Yunfeng Canyon. Remember, let the Qi army capture first, and then let the soldiers of the Yanzhou army counterattack. The final result was a strong counteroffensive by our Yanzhou army, and it took a lot of money to defeat the Qi army and recover these places. Wei Dong said in a deep voice.

"General, what about the officials above the place? And those big family gentry, how to deal with it? The Second Lieutenant asked in a deep voice.

The Yanzhou army wants to occupy these places, and it also wants to sincerely attach these places. Then, the original officials above the local level are the problem that needs to be dealt with, and in addition, the big gentry are also an obstacle to the implementation of the new policy. If it was in other regions, in normal times, the lieutenant would naturally not ask like this. But this is Huaiyin Mansion, and it is still under the rule of Xuzhou, and the Yanzhou army needs to take it as quickly as possible.

Wei Dong said lightly: "Local officials, all executed, the Qi army broke through the counties, and there was no way to kill." As for the wealthy gentry, if they are extremely evil and have a very bad reputation in the place, they will all have their property confiscated. Let's act, there are internal responses in various places, and there are no strong troops stationed in the counties, so there should be no big problem. ”

"Mark and command!"

Wei Dong led 10,000 people, 5,000 to ambush this Wei Gang Division, and the remaining 5,000 waited south of Yunfeng Mountain, and at the same time as annihilating the Xuzhou Army of Wei Gang Division, he launched an attack on the southern counties of Yunfeng Mountain. The reason why there was no line to take action against the counties south of Yunfeng Mountain was also to prevent Wei Gang's troops from noticing.

In the Yunfeng Canyon, the battle between the two sides officially began.

"Brothers, kill me!" The earth-shattering thunder detonated, completely trapping more than 7,000 soldiers under Wei Gang's command in the valley. Of course, since the earth-shattering thunder appeared, these more than 7,000 people could not leave alive. Therefore, several lieutenants did not say any nonsense that was not nutritious, and they did not keep telling the righteousness, hoping to persuade the other party to surrender. After all, they are now "Qi Army".

"Throwing stones!" With a loud shout, the first lieutenant suddenly threw the boulder in his hand down the valley, setting off a strong momentum in the sky. Under his leadership, countless huge stones were pushed down by the soldiers, and they all rolled down with a bang. Running and jumping all the way, bringing out a huge black curtain that can cover the sky and the sun.

The boulder fell with a thunderous momentum, focusing on the two ends of the valley mouth and the middle part, completely dividing the Xuzhou army, making them unable to care about each other at the end, and cutting off the possibility of their unified cooperation and unified command of the battle.

At the same time, hundreds of bundles of thatched branches were continuously thrown down from the top of the mountain, while the soldiers of the "Qi Army" on both sides released a large number of rockets, and tongues of fire erupted, and in an instant, the thatched branches in the valley were completely ignited.

Although it is early spring, it is still easy to find dead branches and grass. Coupled with the faint vapor of water, all of a sudden, black smoke rose up, leaving the entire valley full of flames and smoke.

Breaking the road and burning the valley is the simplest, most direct, and most damaging way to fight an ambush war on a terrain like a canyon. In addition, the "Qi Army" sergeants on both sides continued to rain arrows, and in an instant, the sound of coughing, screaming, and angry scolding in the valley was undulating.

Suddenly, these more than 7,000 elite veterans of the Xuzhou Army seemed to have turned into dough, and in the blink of an eye, it became the end of being kneaded and flattened by the opponent.

A bloody and bloody slaughter battle was staged at this moment, boulders fell like meteors, flames set off a burning frenzy, rolling logs were smashed, arrows rained down, soldiers wailed, and enemies roared excitedly......

The seven thousand Xuzhou troops have entered the valley, and at this moment, the blow they have suffered can be said to be devastating. They were in a narrow section, defenseless and incapable of fighting back, and could only allow their opponents to slaughter at will, letting out terrible roars and wails.

"Damn! Where did these Qi troops come from? Why is there no one in the southern counties to reciprocate? Why do all the counties say that nothing unusual has happened? Watching his brothers keep falling to the ground and wailing constantly, Wei Gang screamed bitterly.

"General, what are we going to do?"

Wei Gang didn't answer, and the situation in front of him made Wei Gang's heart like a drop of blood. Immediately, he remembered the earth-shattering thunder that sounded above the valleys on both sides before, and it was precisely this earth-shattering thunder that the cliffs on both sides could fall down in an instant, completely blocking the entrance and exit, and making them turtles in the urn.

"No, this earth-shattering thunder is the secret of the Zhao army, and it is the Qi army that ambushes us. If this Qi army is not real, then who will it be? It is impossible for Zhao Jun to appear here to ambush us. The only possible thing is...... Yanzhou Army! The Yanzhou Army and the Zhao Army are intimate, and only they will get the Heaven-Shaking Thunder ......"

"Damn! No wonder they reported to us that the Qi army was going to evacuate, and no wonder they moved slowly in the guise of taking over Quyang City. It turned out to be to attract us south. So, what is it that attracts us to the south...... Huaipu City? Not good, Huaipu City ......"

In an instant, Wei Gang figured it out. Although this was all his guess, he knew that he should have stepped on it correctly, "Hahaha...... What a Yanzhou army, it turns out that our Xuzhou army is also his prey. Now, Huaipu City is afraid that it has fallen into the hands of the Yanzhou army, and Quyang City is no exception...... We...... It's over......"

Wei Gang stared blankly at the tragic scene in the valley in front of him, and an incomparably desperate desolation rose in his heart. Defeated, defeated, this time he was completely defeated by the other party, and he was completely defeated by the Yanzhou army. He knew that although he had learned the little news, he could not find out. Because, the Yanzhou army pretending to be the Qi army will not let them go.

Sure enough, Wei Gang scolded the Yanzhou army many times, but no one paid attention to the Qi soldiers who attacked on both sides, and just kept shooting the enemy troops in this valley. Although many Xuzhou troops surrendered, the Qi troops on both sides also ignored them. It seems that the other party is determined to kill all the Xuzhou troops.

Wei Gang roared as he commanded his subordinates to defend, but he couldn't withstand the opponent's strong attack. As time passed, there were fewer and fewer Xuzhou troops in this valley. Wei Gang, the commander of Huaipu City, the coach this time, was finally covered by the rain of arrows and became a member of the battlefield that died in battle.

This time, Wei Gang brought 8,000 soldiers, except for the 1,000 forward battalion that had been deployed at the mouth of the valley earlier, the rest were ambushed by the "Qi army" in the valley.

And with the loud noise of the valley, the collapse of the valley mouth immediately made the thousand forward battalion soldiers outside the valley panic.

"What's going on?"

"Oh no...... We are ambushed in the middle of ......" With the banners of the Qi army erected on both sides of the valley, a thousand soldiers suddenly exclaimed.

At this moment, the panicked forward battalion soldier suddenly felt the ground under his feet begin to tremble, and looked up in shock, only to see that a black line had risen on the southern horizon, and in just a few moments, the black line became much thicker......

"Cavalry? Damn, it's the cavalry of the Qi army! ”

"We're done!"

Looking at the cavalry getting closer and closer, the captain of the forward battalion suddenly lost his face, and he knew that he and the thousand brothers under his command were afraid that the whole army would be wiped out......

"My lord, the back road is cut off, the generals don't know if they live or die, the enemy army is strong, let's surrender." A sentry said to the captain in a trembling voice.

The lieutenant smiled bitterly and said, "Look at the speed of the opponent's cavalry, do they mean to stop?" They are going to annihilate us completely. If you want to live, kill me! ”

"Kill ......"

Under the instructions of the captain, the envoys of the Xuzhou army also knew that they had no possibility of surrendering, so they all roared wildly, and the green tendons on their necks also bulged, and they used this to hide their fearful hearts. After all, their trembling bodies still showed their fear.

"Want to fight us? Do you deserve it too? The remnants of the army are defeated! The cavalry captain of the Yanzhou Army looked at the table of the forward battalion of the Xuzhou Army and said coldly, but the war horse under his crotch did not slow down at all.

"Kill them all, and leave not one behind!"

"Kill them all, and leave not one behind!"

The captain shouted violently, and in an instant, all kinds of voices exploded at the same time, and a thousand cavalry were like a monstrous wave, pressing fiercely against the enemy. And the forward battalion of the Xuzhou Army was like a small mound, submerged by the surging torrent, and it shrank in a large circle in an instant. Immediately, the heavens and the earth suddenly bloomed with incomparably brilliant red waves, and they disappeared like fireworks......
