Soon, after seeing the refugees leaving, Zhang Ji's army followed, but he was very careful and sent a number of patrols to explore the way to avoid being ambushed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After making sure that there was no ambush in front, the Xiliang army slowly walked into the official road between Jingshan, but not long after the army entered, there was a sudden shout of killing in front, and the Xiliang army immediately formed a formation and prepared to meet the enemy.

Zhang Ji looked vigilant, and saw a group of shield soldiers rushing over from the opposite side, and an ugly general with a tall figure and a face like black charcoal blocked in front of them, "Bah! Xiliang thief, when I saw that your grandfather was still arrested, did you deliberately seek death! ”

This person shouted, like thunder, shaking the birds and beasts in the valley, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were also so shocked that their ears were buzzing.

Zhang Ji was taken aback, there are a lot of people on the other side, I am afraid that there are four or five thousand people, the terrain here is narrow, the cavalry cannot be used, if it is fought here, I am afraid that it will be worse, fortunately, they can still withdraw calmly, the other party did not send troops to cut off their back road, but these people are infantry, why didn't the scouts before find them?

Zhang Ji didn't notice that the scouts he sent out hadn't come back for a long time, and they had already been killed by the Runan army.

This place should not stay for a long time, Zhang Ji immediately ordered to retreat, but the army just withdrew to the valley mouth, and saw another general leading the troops to defend here, a dense rain of arrows shot over, the Xiliang army was shot on the horse, and the valley mouth was also blocked.

Zhang Ji was taken aback in his heart, the other party actually unknowingly blocked his men and horses here, it seems that he had already planned, he looked at the slopes on both sides, the mountains here are very steep, the infantry may be able to climb up, but the cavalry is absolutely unable to go up, and if his army gives up their horses, it is still not the opponent of the other party, and the difference in strength between the two sides is too obvious.

"General Zhang, if you don't surrender at this time, when will you wait!"

Liu Zhi was dressed in white, waving a folding fan in his hand, and when the breeze blew, he looked even more personable, like a fairy.

Zhang Ji didn't know Liu Zhi, so he asked: "Who are you, why do you want to go against my Xiliang army, my army is behind, if you still want to save your life, let us leave quickly, otherwise, as soon as the army arrives, you will die without a place to be buried!" ”

Regarding Zhang Ji's threat, Liu Zhi laughed and didn't take it to heart at all, "General Zhang, Liu Zhi is too guarded in Xia Runan, and your army is very faceless when he invades the territory, there is no way, so I will invite General Zhang, General Guo's 30,000 army I am afraid of, but General Zhang, your 3,000 people, Liu is still confident that he can eat with this pair of teeth, General Zhang, what do you say?" ”

Zhang Ji looked at the hillsides on both sides and found that the shrubs on the hillside were windless and automatic, obviously the other party still had ambush soldiers, so if he moved, he would be surrounded on all sides, and he would not be able to get out, so he had to believe Liu Zhi's words.

"It turned out to be Liu Taishou, how I don't understand Liu Taishou's words, we haven't stepped into Yingchuan at this time, and it is a hundred miles away from Runan, saying that we are not allowed to violate the border, since this is just a misunderstanding, it is better to let us go back, we promise that even Yingchuan will not go in, turn around and go back to Luoyang!"

Seeing that he didn't seem to have the intention of doing it directly, Zhang Ji guessed in his heart that he should be afraid of the prestige of the Xiliang Army and didn't dare to tear his face, so he wanted to persuade him to let his army leave.

Liu Zhi shook his head and said: "General Zhang said that he laughed, if I let you go back, wouldn't it be a tiger to return to the mountain, General Zhang might as well let your soldiers lay down their weapons and come to our camp to be guests, let's talk for as long as you want, don't you know, my waist is not very good, it's not good to stand here for too long, how about it, General Zhang?" ”

Zhang Ji had cold sweat on his forehead, obviously seeing that the other party's patience had been exhausted, and if he didn't agree to surrender, the other party would attack.

Zhang Xiu said to Zhang Ji with an indignant face: "Father, I don't think they have many people, they can fight if they want to, we don't need to be afraid of them!" Even if I can't beat it, I will definitely be able to protect your father, and when the time comes, the army will definitely avenge us! ”

Zhang Ji snorted coldly, "Do you think Guo Yan put us in front, just to see this situation, if we are defeated, he will definitely find a reason to kill us after we go back, do you see the enemy general behind who made a big sword?" He is the one who attacked our military rations last time, you are not his opponent, we can't rush out! ”

"So what are we going to do, are we really going to surrender?"

Zhang Xiu looked very unwilling, asking him to admit defeat unless he was to convince him, otherwise it would be difficult for him to bow his head and admit defeat, and Liu Zhi's method he obviously disdained.

Liu Zhi didn't dare what Zhang Xiu thought of himself, although he also valued Zhang Xiu's martial arts, but compared to Zhang Xiu, he was obviously more interested in Zhang Ji's 6,000 war horses and 3,000 cavalry.

Whether a warlord is strong or not depends first on his territory and army, Yuan Shao in Hebei and Gongsun Zan in Beiping are strong because they have a powerful army under their hands, and in their army, they all have an elite cavalry unit.

In the era of cold weapons, the power of cavalry is really earth-shattering, why the Xiliang army is so powerful, is because their troops are almost all cavalry, they can fight and run, and they can also run and rob while fighting, which is almost the same as the nomads in the north.

Liu Zhi only has more than 1,000 war horses in his hands, and he barely formed a small cavalry, if he can get these 6,000 war horses of the Xiliang Army, then not only can there be 3,000 more cavalry immediately, but also another 3,000 war horses, the size of his cavalry force will probably reach 6,000 people, with these 6,000 people, his next plan can be well implemented.

Without waiting for Zhang Ji to think more, the sound of the war drums of the Runan army's attack became louder, and in an instant, a large number of troops appeared on the valleys on both sides, a large number of rolling wood and stones and thousands of spears and bows and arrows were aimed at the Xiliang army below the valley, and they would launch an attack just after Liu Zhi gave an order.

Zhang Ji's face changed greatly, the number of the other party was only more than 15,000, and the strength was five times that of him, if he started fighting, his men and horses would definitely have no chance to escape.

Zhang Ji sighed and ordered loudly: "The whole army dismounts and lays down their weapons!" ”

There was a commotion among the thousands of Xiliang troops, but since the main general had already given the order, they quickly carried out the order, dismounted, discarded their weapons, and prepared to surrender.

Liu Zhi was overjoyed, with this unit, his goal was about to be achieved.
