Thirty-five-year-old Zhang Chun is not only not a white-faced scholar as Liu Cun said, but a dignified and dignified man.

At this moment, Zhang Chun stood on the central earthen platform of the camp in the north of the plain city, the red tassels on the silver winged helmet fluttering in the wind, and a fish scale armor made of fine iron and silver shone in the sun, compared with a group of generals around him, it seemed to stand out from the crowd.

Looking at the five thousand Langya cavalry who were slowly wandering around his camp in two ways, Zhang Chun's face did not have a trace of relaxation, and his well-built upper lip and beard covered the slight twitching at the corners of his tightly closed mouth, his chestnut eyes revealed a faint sadness, and the whole person seemed to stand proudly, but in fact, the body under the silver armor was very tight.

In the past three days, the 5,000 iron cavalry of the Langya army not only shot and killed more than 2,000 of his subordinates, but also intercepted and killed the messengers sent by him and Zhang Ju, pestering him and torturing him like hungry wolves.

Because of Zhang Chun's conceit, the wrong analysis of Liu Cun's character and strategic intentions, and the fact that nearly half of the 25,000 soldiers and soldiers he led were lightly and seriously wounded by the two groups of men and horses that had been evacuated in advance and turned to Jizhong, as well as as the baggage of more than 370 wagons and thousands of stones of grain, so that he was dragged to death by Liu Cun's 5,000 cavalry, unable to walk, unable to fight, and unable to move due to his advance and retreat.

Zhang Chun, like all the generals around him, was nervously watching the 3,500 cavalry who rushed out of his own side, which was the most powerful and last capital in his hand, if he could drive away the Langya cavalry, or fight to the death and lose half of it, and drive the Langya cavalry away for half a night, he would be able to lead most of the soldiers to flee quickly with more than 300 carts of looted money and valuable materials with the determination of a strong man breaking his wrist.

But before the cavalry could pass through the gate, a melodious brass horn sounded from the two teams of Langya troops in the east and north, and Zhang Chun's heart contracted violently, and his eyes showed deep worry.

He was too familiar with this kind of unique horn sound that spread for ten miles, and every time he heard this kind of horn in the past 38 days, his subordinates soon came to report the loss in a hurry, which made Zhang Chun now have a sense of fear and fear for this unique horn.

The sound of the trumpet is still echoing in the heavens and the earth, the two teams of Langya cavalry have changed their formations and parted ways, gradually accelerating to retreat farther to the east and north, Zhang Chun saw that Zhang Xian, the cavalry general under his command who led his troops to meet him, obviously hesitated, and then led his troops to chase the Langya cavalry who retreated to the east.

Wang Zheng, the military advisor beside Zhang Chun, was confident, and pointed to the cavalry of his own side who was gradually moving away and laughed loudly: "Heading east is the banner of Liu Cun, the commander of the Langya Army, but I didn't expect that Liu Cun, who has been rumored to be miraculous recently, dares to use a trick to lure the enemy in front of the 3,500 iron cavalry that I have been building up for a long time, it seems that we think highly of him." ”

Several generals immediately laughed, completely forgetting the painful experience of being beaten by several of Liu Cun's young subordinates and bruising their noses and swollen faces.

Zhang Chun's brows furrowed tightly, pondered for a moment, and immediately sent a herald to chase Zhang Shu at full speed, ordering Zhang Shu not to pursue, just to expel the Langya cavalry from twenty miles away, and never blindly pursue and strayed into the trap.

The generals around him immediately came to their senses, and Zhang Chun's deep voice had sounded: "In the past few days, I have pondered carefully, and finally found out the bravery of the Langya cavalry, the Langya cavalry is different from any cavalry I have ever seen, well-trained and well-equipped, acting quickly and with tacit understanding, the war horses under their crotch are all selected Mobei horses and Liaodong horses, fat, strong and enduring, and very uniform, coupled with their unique tactical cooperation, incredibly accurate command, its overall strength has been far above our army." ”

"Before, I always thought that the Liangzhou cavalry was the first cavalry in the world, and the cavalry of our army was not much different from the Liangzhou cavalry.

After hearing this, the generals suddenly became nervous, and the little confidence that was left slowly disappeared, and Wang Zheng wanted to say a few words of encouragement, when he saw the sudden great changes that occurred about four miles east of the camp:

Out of nowhere, five Langya scouts suddenly came out, and in a blink of an eye, they caught up with the two heralds sent by Zhang Chun, and before everyone's exclamations rang out, they faintly saw that the two heralds were shot by the fast Langya scouts!

"Not good! It's a trap! Wang Zheng finally exclaimed.

Whether it was a trap or not, everyone on the high platform, including Zhang Chun, was powerless, and at this moment, Zhang Xun had chased at least ten miles away.

Zhang Chun's whole body was already stiff, his eyes were staring at the undulating horizon due east, his mind was almost blank, and he only felt that his heart was slowly falling.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, Zhang Chun sent out 3,500 iron cavalry to gallop back sporadically, and the dozens of cavalry who first rushed into the gate lost their armor and were out of breath, nearly half of them had lost their weapons, and six horses foaming at the mouth fell in an instant.

"All prepare to defend the camp! All the archers went due east—"

Zhang Chun's sudden roar shook the sky, and the entire camp was suddenly dusty and noisy, and the aura of fear instantly quietly filled among the soldiers.

There are more and more cavalry who fled back in embarrassment, a bowl of tea is not enough, and then fled back to more than 800 horses, a thin tall cavalry wearing solid leather armor will gallop desperately, rushing to the front of the high platform, the body has flown off the horse's back, the sturdy body in the air drew an arc and landed obliquely, rolled two times in a row and suddenly bounced, and the sound of "bang" happened to kneel in front of the high platform:

"Report to the marshal, General Zhang...... General Zhang had already seen through the Langya army's plan to lure the enemy, and was about to turn the horse's head back to the camp, Liu Cun, the commander of the Langya army, rushed straight to him, I don't know where he learned General Zhang's name, and called 'Mao Qiuer dare to fight with me', two thousand cavalry behind him laughed loudly, General Zhang couldn't bear the shame and humiliation, and pointed to Liu Cun angrily responding to the battle, but Liu Cun's horse was fast, and the shot was unbelievable, only one round, and he picked off General Zhang's head. ”

"The morale of our soldiers was completely lost under the panic, Liu Cun immediately waved his troops to cover the kill, and rushed to the middle and two wings of our cavalry formation...... Marshal, the last general can't dissuade General Zhang in time, and the last general is guilty! ”

There was a dead silence on the high platform, the horsemen under the stage were grief-stricken, and the soldiers running around on the high platform slowly quieted down.
