The Battle of Qiuyanling

Qiuyanling; The clear air makes the earth vast and expansive, expanding him infinitely, the flowers and plants that have come to the autumn Yanling in spring have been green and lush, the flowers have gradually bowed their heads, and the blue fields are white. Zhuge Qiao stood here looking at the scenery of this spring, and there would be a big battle here in the near future, I don't know if the tall green grass and bright blooming flowers here can still stand.

"Brother Liu, we have to go somewhere now" Zhuge Qiao came to Liu Feng's camp, and at this time he was still covering his face.

"Is it a new city?" Liu Feng stared at Zhuge Qiao and replied

"Where, the news of the death of the trial may be hidden for a while, but there is no impermeable strength in the world, the judge will know about this matter sooner or later, and he will inevitably turn against him at that time, now while you are still using your old department in the new city, we will immediately lead our troops to capture it, and then rush to ambush, maybe it's still too late"

"Otherwise, we will return to the army now, and we will defend to the death," Liu Feng also knew the risky nature of this strategy.

"We are here in ambush for the purpose of taking the enemy by surprise and rubbing his spirit; Then defend for a period of time according to the terrain of Qiuyanling, and then retreat to Shangyong City, which can give the enemy a morale blow, and then General Wei Yan of Hanzhong should also arrive, and Xu Huang will definitely retreat at that time; But before we can get the new city back."

"Then we will immediately rush to the new city under the stars."

"Brother Liu, go to the mediocre; The younger brother will not accompany him, Xu Huang is a famous general in the world, I don't think he will give us too much time, if you and I have to leave one person to ambush in Qiuyanling all the time, in case Xu Huang raids"

"If Xu Huang comes to attack during the time I leave, how can you defend here, I really don't worry about keeping you here"

"So it depends on the speed of Brother Liu's siege, and the battle of Qiuyanling is not a garrison, but an ambush; As long as Xu Huang's army is in chaos at that time, then it is not certain who will eat whom."

"Actually, how many soldiers do you need to stay here?"

"We have here eight thousand of your original troops, and three thousand of the superior soldiers; It is enough to lead your original five thousand men. It depends on whether your subordinates in Xincheng are still loyal to you, and if Xincheng is difficult to capture, you will return to Shangyong, otherwise the base camp will be lost, and it will be all over."

"What will you do if I return to the mediocrity"

"If you don't come back within seven days, I will lead the army back to the division."

"You can't be too tenacious in Qiuyanling, if you really can't defend you, you will retreat, no one will blame you, if you lose your life here, I can't afford it"

"Brother Liu, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, I don't know the success or failure of the battle here, take care、、、" Zhuge Qiao said in a deep tone to Liu Feng

Zhuge Qiao watched the five thousand soldiers led by Liu Feng move forward quickly on the top of the mountain, this place is only two days away from the new city, and seven days back and forth is completely enough, whether he can come back or not depends on the will of heaven.

"Qin Shan, you go and look for the people with wolf teeth, why haven't they come back yet" It turned out that the man in black at the head of Xiangyang City was the 'wolf tooth' in Zhuge Qiao's hand, no wonder the combat power was so strong, but in the end they disappeared into the night, I don't know where they are now.

"Tun Chief, they're back" Qin Shan appeared in front of Zhuge Qiao with a group of people dressed in black, and now this group of people is no longer as high-spirited as they were in the training ground, on the contrary, now they are bowing their heads and not saying a word, but they can see the tenacity of their eyes from their eyes.

"Chen Period, count the number of people" Zhuge Qiao was also very heartbroken when he saw their current downfall, after all, this was the elite in his hands, and it was trained by him himself.

"There is no need to count, now we have thirty-six left, seven of them were lightly wounded, none of them fled back from the serious wounded, and twenty-four were killed in battle; Originally, there were no such big casualties, and it was mainly because Xu Huang's cavalry targeted a few of our squads that led to this result" Chen Qi replied very sadly.

"Chen Qi, Liu Yu, Fu Yan, can the three of you still fight!"

"Yes," the three of them said in unison, and the 'wolf fang' personnel behind them suddenly became excited when they heard that they were going to give him a task.

"The three of you are now holding my military order, and each of you will go to the southern reserve camp to bring five hundred soldiers to meet me, and the rest of the personnel will now go to rest and wait for the next big battle," Zhuge Qiao commanded

Seeing that everyone faded away, Zhuge Qiao called the scouts again, "You must now expand the scope to Xiangyang City, and report the reconnaissance situation every two hours."

After a day, there was still no movement in Xiangyang City, and there was still no movement after another day, until late at night on the third day: "Tun Chang, quickly, there is a situation" Qin Shan came to Zhuge Qiao's resting place, because they said an ambush, so they did not build a military tent and found a place to sleep at will.

"What's the situation, so panicked"

"Just now the scout came to report that Xu Huang had left the city yesterday, but they sent a large number of cavalry to kill the scout, so there has been no news coming, the scout just now has been over the mountains and mountains, and there is no moment of rest before coming, it is estimated that Xu Huang may be ten miles away from us" Qin Shan hurriedly said.

"No wonder there is no news from the scouts on the front line these days, it seems that Xu Huang is really not an ordinary person, Qin Shan, you immediately go and order the archers near the valley mouth, the ambush soldiers on the eastern slope and the thousand sword and shield soldiers and a thousand pikemen on the periphery of the valley mouth to get ready, be sure to eat their vanguard troops" With that, Qin Shan hurriedly left and disappeared into the night.

The sky is getting brighter, and it seems that the sun is about to rise.

"Report, General Lan (Zhuge Qiao's pseudonym used in the battalion) The vanguard of the Cao army is about to arrive at the canyon where we are ambushed, but 、、、" a small soldier came to report

"But what、、、

"Their vanguard force is only five hundred men, and they have three front armies, which march at a distance of two miles in turn, and the rear is the large army, and the total number must not be less than fifty thousand."

Hearing the news, Zhuge Qiao couldn't sit still, "Fifty thousand people, I only have six thousand here, how can I resist" sighed. "Gathering the Generals"

After a while, all the generals of the 6,000 people here came, "Everyone may know, the Cao army is coming, the first is the three front to explore the way, and the last is their headquarters army, so I decided to let their front part in, and when their Chinese army enters the Qiuyan Ridge to give a blow, the enemy does not know how many of us must retreat, so we can take advantage of the victory to pursue, and not let the enemy know our reality before we can carry out the next defensive battle"

"General Lan, I think it's a bit inappropriate, if you let go of the 1,500 people in the front of their three armies, when the time comes, they will counterattack us, won't we be attacked from both sides," a general reminded

"This General Xu, please rest assured, Fu Yan"

"The last general, in"

"You can lead 500 people from your headquarters to go around the enemy's front," Zhuge Qiao ordered

"There is no problem" Fu Tong took the military order.

"Also, if General Lan rushes straight up the mountain, then won't our military strength be exposed," the man continued to suggest just now.

"No, Xu Huang is praised for having Zhou Yafu's style, he is definitely not a reckless person, and he will not know that General Liu Shao has gone to take the new city, so he expects that there will be no less than 10,000 people here, so he doesn't dare to act rashly, we just need to wait until General Liu comes, if we can't defend our troops, it's just that Shangyong City will fall into the enemy's attack range."

"In that case, then we will have to fight to the death against Cao's army in Qiuyanling," said one general

"Everyone will go back to their posts now, the first battle must be won", the generals hurriedly faded, and Zhuge Qiao also went to the ambush site at Gukou with Chen Qi, Liu Yong, and Qin Shan.

In front of the valley mouth of Qiuyanling; "Tun Chang, this is the front of the third team, and the following is Xu Huang's headquarters," Qin Shan said excitedly next to him

"Cheer up, it's a big battle later" Zhuge Qiao was still staring intently at the front vanguard who had entered the ambush circle.

One hour, two hours, three hours, most of the enemy has not yet come, and the tense Xuan of the soldiers has gradually begun to relax, "Tun Chang, look at the movement" Just as Zhuge Qiao turned his head to the valley mouth, sure enough, most of the enemy still came. At the beginning, a man with a big knife and a strong figure took the lead, and he was sure that he was definitely not Xu Huang; Since the mouth of the valley was still wide, they were five columns of men and horses marching side by side; At this time, the soldiers, who had already slackened, jumped up again.
