In Shahe Town, the Shu army had just evacuated, and Qin You was stationed here with his soldiers. There are not only the captains of the various departments under his command, but also Hu Zhi, the captain of the eighth town of the forbidden army.

"Hu Zhi, the second capital of the eighth town, has seen the general! On the orders of Lord Yang, come and obey orders! ”

"Excuse me! Captain Hu, have all your cavalry and foot soldiers arrived? "For the eighth town, Qin You also understands. In this capital, the establishment should be two battalions of cavalry and three battalions of captains.

Hu Zhi said in a deep voice: "General Hui, two thousand cavalry and three thousand foot soldiers are all in place. ”

The corners of Qin You's mouth couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "Very good, Hu Zhi, I ordered you to lead the infantry of your headquarters to line up at the mouth of the west estuary of the Muma River to block it." Dong Lin, the three thousand foot soldiers of your headquarters immediately pressed to the rear of the Shu army. Hu Zhi, order your cavalry to assault from the north to the south, and kill the Shu army when the infantry blocked the Shu army on the bank of the Muma River. ”

"Subordinates obey!" Everyone responded in unison.

"This Shu army is personally led by Feng Yanzhang, the commander of the Shu army in Hanzhong. Therefore, this war, 'imminent' is close to our big battle with the Shu army, and it is also about the commander of the Shu army. Therefore, this battle must be won. Now, let's all go down and get moving. ”

Zhao Jun's reaction was indeed as expected by Feng Yanzhang, Zhao Jun did not really leave, but deliberately relaxed the encirclement and let himself go. After he led the army to leave, the scouts in the rear detected that the traces of Zhao Jun appeared behind him again. Although Zhao Jun did not 'approach' immediately, nor did he attack him from time to time as before, Feng Yanzhang felt a bad feeling emerging from the bottom of his heart.

"General, there is a river beach ahead, we might as well take a rest here, let the soldiers fill some river water, and it will also be convenient for the march."

"River beach? It's better to let the soldiers speed up and withdraw to the south of Hanzhong earlier, so that the soldiers will be safe a moment earlier. Feng Yanzhang looked at the rushing river not far away, nodded and said.

"Woo woo woo ......" Feng Yanzhang's voice did not fall, and the long and long horn suddenly sounded from the west.

"What sound?" Deputy General Zhang Pingyuan's face changed, and he lost his voice, "Could it be the sound of a horn!" But how can it be heard in the west? Isn't Zhao Jun behind? ”

"Woo woo woo ......" At this moment, two more horn sounds came from the rear of the Shu army and the north, echoing each other from afar.

Feng Yanzhang's expression suddenly changed greatly: "It's not good, this is Zhao Jun's horn sound!" They're all around us! ”

Zhang Pingyuan and other generals were all shocked by each other, and they all saw fear in each other's eyes, Zhao Jun suddenly appeared at this time, it was really desperate, at this time, the army had just begun to rest, and it was scattered. What's more, Zhao Jun has surrounded himself on all sides, how easy is it to 'withdraw' at this moment?

The long and long horn sound is exhausted, the "excited" war drums have risen in the night, Feng Yanzhang's face is "colored" and looking at the west, only to see the low horizon behind the sudden appearance of dense "color" clan flags, the first big flag, embroidered with a red "color" flame unicorn, the clan flag swords, guns and halberds, standing solemnly like a forest, the soldiers black pressed a piece, the killing machine rushed to the face, in a blink of an eye, the two armies were less than a kilometer away. In the flat river beach, Feng Yanzhang could clearly see the Zhao army formation opposite.

"It's really Zhao Jun's people! How can it be? Zhang Pingyuan exclaimed. In fact, he has always had the luxury of expecting that the army in the west is not the Zhao army but his own people. But the reality told him that the opposite side was Team Zhao.

"This is the Eighth Town! I see, no wonder the Zhao army behind us is chasing after us, it turns out that they want to hold us back, so that their reinforcements will arrive in time and come to ambush! Looking at the handwriting on the banner in the west, Feng Yanzhang suddenly understood. The Zhao army, which had delayed its withdrawal for several days, was the first town, and the eighth town was opposite. Obviously, Zhao Jun's reinforcements arrived.

"Pass the order, and form a formation at once! There were only 3,000 men in front of them, and we had 5,000 men, and they were soldiers, and so were we! Today, Zhao Jun will take a look, and our Shu army is not inferior to them. Feng Yanzhang pulled out his long sword and shouted.

In the rear, Qin You with 3,000 soldiers had already appeared thousands of kilometers away from the rear of the Shu army. Le Ma stopped, rode the horse and turned around, only to see the soldiers behind him standing like a forest, and the cold killing machine almost froze the heaven and earth. Qin You's face was murderous, his sword was raised high above the top, the fierce drum beat stopped abruptly, all the soldiers gathered their feet in the sand, and thousands of pairs of cold eyes focused on him at the same time, there was no other sound between heaven and earth, only the heavy breathing of the soldiers and the hunting sound of the cold wind blowing the 'wavering' flag.

"The great husband has made great achievements, when it is now!" Qin You didn't have any extra nonsense, he turned around, the sword in his hand fell into the void, and the blood-boiling voice resounded in the sky, "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Zhao army responded and fought bravely to be the first, and launched an overwhelming attack on the Shu soldiers who were already preparing to form a formation in a panic. On the opposite side, the 3,000 foot soldiers under Hu Zhi's department also began to 'press' towards this side.

At the moment when the Zhao army's army appeared on both sides, Feng Yanzhang knew that he and the more than 5,000 soldiers under his command wanted to leave alive, but I was afraid that it would be impossible! Zhao Jun had the advantage before and didn't make a move, and he was stunned to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, what was the purpose, wasn't it to completely annihilate his own department, and didn't he take down himself, the commander of the Shu army...... At this moment, the thousands of soldiers of the Zhao army are full of 'fine' strength, well-equipped, and have the absolute upper hand, at this moment, the morale is high, how can the five thousand fleeing army under his command be the opponent of the other party?

"To be withdrawn! Fast! "Although the Zhao army appeared on the east and west sides at this moment, there were no troops on the north and south sides. Of course, to the south is a large river, which they naturally cannot pass, so they can only withdraw their troops to the north. Although there was also a trumpet sound in the north before, there were no soldiers of the Zhao army at this moment. Although Feng Yanzhang also knew that Zhao Jun would not leave such a 'hole' for him to evacuate, he had no choice now. Because of the Zhao army's surprise attack, the soldiers were already panicked at this moment, although they were in front of them, but Feng Yanzhang believed that they could not resist in the face of the Zhao army's rush.

Feng Yanzhang gave an order, and the Shu soldiers immediately formed a formation to the north, but when the army was withdrawn, the army had already shown signs of collapse. Seeing this situation, Feng Yanzhang also had a gloomy 'color'.

Because the Zhao army was still a kilometer away from the Shu army, the Shu army still ran north smoothly in a panic and withdrew without being completely surrounded by the Zhao army. However, the Zhao army also pulled the battle line to the north, forming two large nets, which went to the Shu army from both sides. Although the army was not directly besieged by the Zhao army, Feng Yanzhang did not have a trace of joy. Because he didn't know anything about the situation in the north, in addition, they could only go home if they withdrew their troops to the west, and to the north, they would only get closer and closer to the territory of the Zhao army. Obviously, withdrawing troops to the north will not allow them to return alive, nor will they be able to escape the siege of the Zhao army.

"General, you have finally escaped from the two sides of the Zhao army!" Zhang Pingyuan poured a water bag on his head and said with a smile.

But his voice did not fall, Feng Yanzhang had not answered, suddenly there was a faint thunder, Zhang Pingyuan was stunned and turned his head to look at each other, and suddenly found that there was a faint black line at the end of the horizon where heaven and earth meet and slowly squirmed, Zhang Pingyuan also thought that he had seen the 'flower' eyes, and vigorously 'rubbed' his eyes and looked carefully, and suddenly found that this black line seemed to be thicker than the other.

Zhang Pingyuan suddenly felt that something was wrong, and turned to look at Feng Yanzhang, but found that Feng Yanzhang's face was abnormally dignified, and his eyes were looking at the north. Zhang Pingyuan looked back, and with the louder and louder thunder, he saw that the black line had turned into a surging black 'color' giant 'wave', carrying the momentum of crushing everything towards his own army array, and the frightened Shu army soldiers were horrified to find that even the ground under their feet was trembling...... There was a dazzling cold light that reflected the sky in the distance, and it was a snow-bright spear and horizontal knife!

Feng Yanzhang naturally saw the situation in the north, and understood in his heart why the Zhao army allowed them to go north, in the face of the Zhao army's cavalry, they were not opponents at all, and it was even better to resist the Zhao army's foot soldiers. At that moment, Feng Yanzhang's terrible roar came out: "Enemy attack!" Array, array! ”

Feng Yanzhang's subordinates are all soldiers of the Zhao army, not ordinary soldiers. Although they broke up because of the gap in the middle of the ambush, these soldiers soon began to form a formation under the shouting of the seal. However, now their formation can no longer be compared with the past. After all, in the past few days, these Shu troops have been cleaned up by the Zhao army badly. Just looking at the fact that many soldiers are a little scattered, I don't know what to do, and now these Shu troops have many soldiers who are really panicked.

"Formation? Even if you rout army wants to stop us? The cavalry captain of the Zhao army snorted coldly and shouted angrily, "Brothers, kill me!" Let these Shu soldiers who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth see, my Zhao army's iron cavalry is unstoppable. ”

The speed of the cavalry was very fast, and in an instant, the iron cavalry of the Zhao army at the front and the army formation of the Shu army collided fiercely, and the sharp spear easily picked up the shield in the hands of the Shu soldiers in the front row, broke through the reluctantly assembled formation, pierced the body of the first row of Shu soldiers, and then stabbed into the body of the second row of Shu soldiers. Then, more Shu soldiers were knocked headlong by the surging war horses, and they were already dead of anger when they fell backwards in the air.

In particular, those officers who were giving orders to command were the first to be attacked by the cavalry 'archers', and they were the first to be 'shot' and killed on the spot. Encountered the Zhao cavalry's charge, and there was no officer command, in an instant, after the front row of soldiers were scattered by the Zhao army, the Shu soldiers in the middle of the country immediately formed a big 'chaos', and were frightened by this sudden blow, panicked and overwhelmed, at this time the follow-up Zhao iron cavalry has been wielding a heavy elongated horizontal knife one after another, these well-trained cavalry combined into a sharp arrow rush into battle, just like a sharp scalpel will be 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' Shu soldiers cut into countless small pieces, and began to kill them.

When he swung his knife and slashed at the second Zhao cavalry, the cold killing machine came from the right front, Lu Shan Huo Ran turned his head, and a cavalry wrapped in pitch-black iron armor rushed towards him ghostly, his cold eyes revealed a suffocating killing machine, and the long knife was already hanging high in the air.

"Kill!" Lu Shan was fearless, slapped the horse and danced the knife to meet the forward, the war horse 'crossed', the two long knives knocked together without any 'flowers', making a deafening 'desire' deafening gold and iron 'crossing' sound, Lu Shan felt the 'chest' mouth suffocated, such as being hammered by a thousand catties, the arm was sore, and he couldn't pinch the handle tightly, just when there was a sound, the long knife had fallen into the dust. The war horse continued to sprint forward with habitual 'nature', and before he could run a few steps to support, he felt a pain in his 'chest' and began to feel weak. Lu Shan slowly lowered his head, but found that above his 'chest', a spearhead appeared in front of him, and he was pierced. The spear was 'drawn' from behind ......, and Lu Shan finally fell weakly.

"Don't think that just because you're riding a war horse, you're a cavalryman! Compared to our Da Zhao, you are too weak! "Leng Feng, the cavalry captain of the Zhao army, 'drawn' his spear, looked at the general of the Shu army who fell to the ground, and said coldly.

"Withdraw! Retreat south! "Seeing the two armies 'intersecting', in just a few moments, more than 1,500 people under his command were lost, Feng Yanzhang couldn't care about being distressed, and ordered sadly. Under the military order of Feng Yanzhang, the Shu soldiers, who were already panicked, immediately rushed south. In the end, under the pursuit of the cavalry of the Zhao army, only more than 3,000 people successfully escaped, but they also retreated to the river beach, with no way out. Immediately after, the infantry of the Zhao army on the left and right immediately rushed up, besieged the Shu army, and trapped them to death on the river beach with a radius of less than a kilometer.

However, what made Qin You feel admired was that even if his own troops pressed the border, even if he was killed by his own cavalry, the Shu soldiers did not break down in a fight, nor did they scatter and flee, but under the leadership of Feng Yanzhang, they retreated to the river beach in a reasonable and orderly manner. Qin You believes that even if he and Feng Yanzhang get along with each other, they may not be able to do what the other party does. Now, he has understood why Yang Wangqing didn't let him directly raid and set up an ambush, although there is nothing surprising about this Yan Zhang's rule of the army and leading the army, but its emphasis is on stability, especially in unfavorable situations, this kind of stability is very critical for the army, and even, it can turn defeat into victory.

After solving the remnants of the Shu army left in the north and cleaning up the battlefield, the 2,000 cavalry of the Zhao army did not think about pursuit, but quickly gathered their troops and horses and re-arrayed, and the army was once again arranged in a neat cavalry formation and crushed towards the south. In addition, there were 3,000 'elite' infantry on the east and west sides to 'approach' the middle, forming a triangular line of encirclement with the cavalry in the north, firmly locking any gap in the Shu army's escape. Qin You, the current commander of the Zhao army, under the guidance of Yang Wangqing, has opened his pockets, like a lion 'showing' his bloody fangs, waiting for the Shu army to retreat in a hurry to get into the trap, and there is no way to retreat.

However, Qin You also saw thousands of Shu troops retreating on the river beach, although they did not collapse, they also showed panic and did not know what to do. After all, the situation is such that it seems that they have no other way out than to wait to be slaughtered by the Zhao army.

However, seeing that the Shu army had fallen into a desperate situation and there was no way to escape, Qin You did not let the army directly attack, but ordered the soldiers to stop the pursuit, set up a position at Bailong Beach, which was 500 meters away from the Shu army, and ordered to rest on the spot.

Although the Shu army has suffered great losses now, the Zhao army has also consumed a lot of strength in chasing back and forth. Of course, more importantly, Qin You found that although many Shu soldiers were panicked, their eyes were red, their faces were hideous, and in the previous fight, their hearts were surging, and they had the intention of fighting to the death. If you go to war now, you will inflict casualties on your own men. For Qin You, this was an obvious all-win situation, and casualties could be completely avoided. As a commander-in-chief, he also does not want unnecessary casualties among his soldiers. In the past, King Zhao also said that soldiers are their lives, and every general must be responsible for every soldier who follows him to fight, so that he can become a qualified general.

In the middle of the Shu army, Feng Yanzhang began to gather soldiers and convene generals and schools. At this moment, Feng Yanzhang found that more than ten generals under his command, including Zhang Pingyuan, partial generals Lu Shan and Li Liang, had died in the previous battle. At this moment, Feng Yanzhang also found that the cavalry of the Zhao army was so strong. Of course, he also knew that this was because his side had been exhausted and their morale had plummeted due to the continuous retreat in the past few days, and more importantly, there was not enough time for them to set up the formation, but the sharpness of the Zhao army was also a fact. As for the cavalry, Feng Yanzhang also experienced it personally, he had fought against the Han cavalry before, but when he saw the cavalry of the Zhao army today, Feng Yanzhang knew that the cavalry of the Han army could not be compared with the cavalry of the Zhao army at all.

Looking at the tripartite array of the Zhao army that had stopped, Feng Yanzhang couldn't help but sigh, he knew that the Zhao army was not pausing the attack with any good intentions, the temporary rest was just to recover his strength, so that he could better encircle and annihilate his entire army later. Zhao Jun ambushed himself, and made corresponding preparations in order not to let himself find out, for example, cutting down trees to make a raft to cross the river before, deliberately laying a secret hand in the distance, and killing it quickly, which also required physical strength.

What's more, now that the soldiers of their own side have just fought a big battle, the soldiers are still in a state of battle, if they 'engage' immediately, even if the soldiers under their command are inferior to the other party, they can still fight with the Zhao army. However, if you take a break, your soldiers will soon become nervous because of the situation around them, which will cause your own team to have no intention of fighting. In less than half an hour, after Zhao Jun has recovered his strength, and his own morale is getting lower and lower, the remaining 3,000 soldiers can only become merit in the hands of the other party.

Looking up at the sky covered with dark clouds, a heavy feeling weighed down on Feng Yanzhang. The corners of his mouth flashed with a faint wry smile, Feng Yanzhang couldn't help but smile bitterly, a month ago, he still waved tens of thousands of troops, and the Han army he fought was defeated, and he became the most famous person in Hanzhong, and in a blink of an eye, he was now 'life' difficult to protect, ridiculous......

"General, the Zhao army on the other side has sent someone!" The guard's soft shout interrupted Feng Yanzhang's thoughts.

"Let them come over, I also want to see what this Zhao Jun means." Feng Yanzhang said indifferently with a 'pale' face.

"Your general asked you to come, what do you want?" Zhao Jun sent a young man, Feng Yanzhang didn't talk nonsense with the other party, and went straight to the topic.

"Our general wants General Feng to surrender to my Da Zhao! In this way, a major battle between the two sides can be avoided. ”

"Surrender? Do you think it's possible? We are defeated, but, even so, our Shu army is not afraid of death. At this moment, there is only one battle! This general is deeply favored by the king, and will never surrender to Zhao! Feng Yanzhang responded coldly.

The young man said in a loud voice: "The general is not afraid of death, but what about these soldiers? You also want them to die on the battlefield? Also, the general died here today, will Stuart Che appreciate the general because the general fought to the death with our army? I'm afraid that it won't, the army will be defeated, Hanzhong will lose most of it, no matter whether the general lives or dies, there will be no good results. ”

Feng Yanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "Needless to say, General Ben will not surrender, you can leave." ”

The young man didn't care, and said in a deep voice: "After a stick of incense, our army will attack, please consider it carefully." With that, he turned and walked away.

After Zhao Jun's people left, Feng Yanzhang looked at the expressions of the soldiers around him, and immediately secretly scolded Zhao Jun for his shamelessness. The envoy of Zhao Jun talked with himself in detail, and deliberately said it loudly so that the surrounding soldiers could hear it. When these soldiers learned that there was still a way to live, they threw their hopes on themselves. In addition, these soldiers were afraid that they had no intention of fighting to the death with the Zhao army. For a while, Feng Yanzhang suddenly felt very stressed.

That's it...... That's it...... These soldiers are the ones I brought ......

"Luo Xi, these three thousand soldiers will be 'handed over' to you, descend to Zhao, no matter what, you can't let them die here." In the end, Feng Yanzhang 'handed over' the matter of demotion to Zhao to the highest-ranking general under his command. and himself, he killed himself.

"It's a pity! However, even so, Stuart Che will not be considerate of you! Qin You, who learned of the situation, couldn't help shaking his head and sighing secretly after asking his subordinates to gather and surrender the soldiers, and bury the seal on the spot.
