"Kill~~"

The fierce killing sound suddenly sounded from the dense forest on the left, and in the deafening shout, a Han army rushed out of the dense forest like a fierce tiger down the mountain, and the first general danced a long knife and went straight to Liaohua.

"Huh?"

Liao Hua looked awe-inspiring, not good, he was ambushed!

"Withdraw~~Withdraw~~"

Liao Hua drew the knife, turned around and left, and surrounded the thief soldiers who were killed by Xiahou Yuan's three hundred remnants, and immediately after the sudden attack on the flank, Liao Hua's "retreat" intensified the confusion of the thief soldiers, and the situation soon evolved into an unstoppable retreat.

Xiahou Yuan slashed into the air with a knife, staggered under his foot and couldn't stand anymore, and suddenly fell to the ground on one knee, but his left hand held Le Jin's corpse and refused to let go. When he looked up, he saw the thieves rushing past him and the surviving Han soldiers like locusts, and the wolves rushed away. In an instant, the thick exhaustion rolled like a tide, and Xiahou Yuan felt that his entire body was unconscious, and the long knife in his hand was as heavy as a mountain.

"Dangchang~"

Xiahou Yuan couldn't hold the long knife in his hand anymore, and as soon as his fingers loosened, the long knife fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Kill~~"

The deafening shouts of killing were close behind him, and the soldiers around him had already begun to cheer, their voices were full of the ecstasy of rebirth after the catastrophe, Xiahou Yuan also wanted to turn around and see who saved him, but he felt that his neck was stiff and his body was stiff, and he couldn't turn around when he was petrified.

"Wonderful! It's you? ”

A familiar and unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, the sound was close at hand but seemed to be far away in the sky, Xiahou Yuan's vision gradually began to blur, and everything in front of him was constantly rotating and shaking.

"Miaocai, it's me, I'm Cao Hong!"

There was a hint of anxiety in the familiar voice.

Cao Hong? Whew, it turned out to be Cao Hong, this guy didn't die? Survived the charge of the 800 Liukou heavy armored iron horsemen? Monster~~ Xiahou Yuan let out a sigh of relief, and the heavy darkness finally swallowed him completely, and his majestic body pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, and fell down with a thud, and he actually passed out of strength.

"Wonderful!"

"Wen Qian~~"

Cao Hong hurriedly helped Xiahou Yuan up, turned over Le Jin's corpse, and instantly showed a hideous look, turned to the direction where the thieves retreated, and roared like a wounded bear: "Liao Hua~~ I'm going to kill you~~"

……

Han army camp.

Although Cao Ying was newly defeated, his subordinates suffered huge losses, but there was not much frustration and decadence on his face, and Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song talked and laughed quite freely.

"Yingchuan's yellow turban thief is really not to be feared, and there are only eight hundred people to worry about." Cao Ying said, "The defeat of Yingshui is caused by the lack of cavalry, and now the two generals have 3,000 Wuhuan iron cavalry under the command of Qiu Liju, and the 800 Liukou of Ma Yuezhi are brave and good at fighting, but they are not afraid." ”

Zhu Jun frowned and said: "Those who are worried, the old tricks of the eight hundred rogue are repeated, and they suddenly run away, and I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up." ”

Cao Ying said: "If you can chase the Wuhuan iron cavalry and chase it, then the eight hundred liukou will collapse without a fight." ”

While he was talking, a junior colonel suddenly came to report: "The two generals, Qiu Liju did not listen to the dissuasion, and rode to rob the people of Yingchuan." ”

Zhu Jun slapped the case and said angrily: "This Qiu Liju is really hateful, how many times have I told him, the Central Plains is not a grassland, not a pasture for them to ride and plunder, but these damn barbarians just don't listen, hmph, if it weren't for the use of his cavalry, Ben would definitely not be spared." ”

Huangfu Song stroked his gray beard and said indifferently: "Gongwei doesn't need to be angry, the army has been out of food for several days, if you continue to strictly restrain and fight terrorism to provoke a mutiny, let him do it for the time being." ”

Cao Ying lost his voice and said: "Two generals, the army has been out of food for several years?" ”

Zhu Jun sighed and said: "It's not a secret, since last year, the yellow scarves were raging, and the imperial court sent several large armies to collect, which cost a lot of money and grain. ”

Cao Ying sighed and said: "Alas~~ Banditry is a disaster, and the country's fortunes are exhausted, and it is so good!" Please rest assured that the two generals have ordered their henchmen to return to Dongjun to raise food and grass, and it is expected that they can solve the problem of Chen Liu, which can solve the urgent needs of the army. ”

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were overjoyed when they heard this: "So, hard Mengde." ”

……

"Oh~Oh~Oh~"

Strange cries rumbled with thunderous hooves, and a large area of black-pressed cavalry swept over the plain like locusts, and it was none other than the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry led by Qiu Liju. Wherever the Wuhuan cavalry passed, black smoke billowed and villages burned, crops about to grow were trampled on, and people who were working were slaughtered.

Countless kind-hearted people of the Han Dynasty groaned under the iron hooves of Wuhuan barbarians, and the poor and kind people of the Great Han Dynasty thought that even the eight hundred Liukou would no longer come to harm them, and they could finally live a good life this year, but they did not expect to change suddenly, and the disaster caused the east wall, and overnight, this group of ferocious jackals was killed.

"Hahaha~~"

Qiu Liju whipped his horse on the stock and galloped his horse wildly, and he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with doing so, having already committed a lot of bestial acts. When he was in the northern grasslands, he did just that, not only plundering the tribes of the Huns and Xianbei, but also sometimes going south to plunder the villages and towns of the Han people.

In the eyes of the savage and ignorant Wuhuan people, human beings are no different from the beasts of nature, and the powerful tribes swallow up the weak tribes, rob women and property, and kill the strong men, just like the weak and the strong in nature, it is justified! No one has ever felt that there is anything wrong with wolves eating sheep. Therefore, Qiu Liju never thought that there was anything wrong with such a behavior of riding and plundering, this ~~ is the logic of the barbarians.

A disheveled little leader rushed to Qiu Liju's side with a horse, and shouted angrily: "My lord, something happened~~"

"Huh~~" Qiu Liju drank the war horse, turned his horse, and waited for the little leader to catch up before asking, "Bald-eared wolf, what's wrong?" ”

The bald-eared wolf roared: "When the horse team of the short-tailed fox went to ransack a Han village, it was attacked by more than a thousand rogue cavalry, and more than 300 horses were killed. At first, I didn't believe it, but when I took someone to see it, I realized that it was true, and all the brothers' bodies were skinned and hung upside down on the branches at the entrance of the village to demonstrate. ”

Qiu Liju's eyes turned red in an instant, and he said sharply: "These hateful thieves, I want to arrest them all, light the sky lanterns one by one~~ Blow the trumpet, and assemble the whole army!" ”

"Woo~~~"

Qiu Liju gave an order, and the low and distant horn sounded in an instant, and the Wuhuan cavalry who were riding and plundering rode back one after another, and quickly began to form a formation.

……

The North Effect of the Long Society.

Patches of simple tents had been erected, and a strong wooden fence had been built around the camp, and the outer edge of the wooden fence was covered with sharp antlers (not real antlers, but sharpened wooden stakes), and even a gate more than two feet high had been erected in the north, and a blood-colored flag was planted straight on the gate, waving in the wind.

In the open space in front of the barracks, hundreds of large clay pots were erected, and the firewood under the clay pots was burning vigorously, and the hot air was bubbling out of the pots, and the smell of meat spread with the breeze, which was mouth-watering. Those who don't know smell it and think that fat pork is boiling in the pot.

Guo Tu's nose stirred twice, only to feel the strong fragrance, but when he realized what kind of fragrance it was, his stomach twitched violently, and he hurriedly hugged a wooden stake and retched.

Ma Yue glanced back at Guo Tu coldly, his expression was like frost, and he was not moved at all.

Not far in front of Ma Yue, Guan Hai was lying on the ground with a solemn expression, listening with his ears close to the ground, and suddenly, Guan Hai's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "It's coming!" ”

Ma Yue's expression moved, a trace of imperceptible nervousness flashed in his eyes, and he looked north leisurely, and when he looked at it, he saw that the field was calm, and two birds were startled from the wheat field and quickly flew into the nearby bushes and disappeared.

"Newspaper~~"

A long and mournful howl accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves swept through the sky from the north, and in an instant, a horse galloped from the official road and went straight in front of the horse.

"Report ~~ big leader, find the cavalry of the Han army!"

"How many rides?"

Ma Yue asked eagerly.

Ma Yue's voice fell, and Guo Tu, who was shrinking in the shadow behind Ma Yue, couldn't help but secretly glance at Ma Yue's majestic back, he actually heard a trace of imperceptible nervousness from Ma Yue's voice, Guo Tu couldn't help but be confused. Does a horse butcher get nervous about this?

Tanma took a breath and responded: "The leader of Zhou Cang said, at least two thousand horses!" ”

"Two thousand rides!?" Ma Yue's expression suddenly perked up when he heard this, and he said, "Okay! That's great! ”

Guo Tu became more and more stunned, since he was captured by the Eight Hundred Liukou and forced to surrender, he seemed to have never seen Ma Yue so excited, what is going on today~~? Could it be ~~ Understood! Guo Tu suddenly had insight into Ma Yue's astonishing conspiracy, and an inexplicable chill rose straight from behind Guo Tu in an instant, those poor Wuhuan barbarians! Fortunately~~ The unlucky person is not me, thinking of this, Guo Tu was suddenly happy in his heart, and there was a little more fear in his eyes when he looked at Ma Yue's back.

Ma Yue turned over and said sharply: "Open the gate and welcome the brothers back to the camp~~"

"Open the gate~~Open the gate~~"

Xu Chu rode his horse and galloped away, and his loud and mournful roar pierced the silent sky in an instant, and several miles away, the Yellow Turban thieves guarding the gate could also be clearly heard.

On the barracks gate.

Pei Yuanshao's expression was cold, and he said sharply: "Open the gate!" ”

A group of yellow turban thieves rushed up in a hurry, removed the wooden stakes against the gate, slowly pulled the heavy gate open, and finally removed the antlers that blocked the gate, enough to accommodate dozens of horses to enter and exit at the same time.

"Pikemen~~ Array!"

I don't know when, the little leader of the Yellow Turban has already come to Pei Yuanshao's side, the loud roar resounded throughout the barracks, more than a thousand thieves surged in, lined up in a neat military formation along both sides of the gate, one by one spears pierced the sky, and the sharp spear blades showed off a cold cold.

"Archers ~~ Array!"

The little leader gave another order, and five hundred archers ran out of the barracks, divided into two groups and quickly lined up behind the spearmen.

In the sound of hurried horses' hooves, Ma Yue and Guo Tu rushed into the gate under the escort of Dian Wei, Xu Chu and Guan Hai, witnessing such a strict array of Yellow Turban thieves, Ma Yue's eyes couldn't help but pass a trace of surprise, looking at Pei Yuanshao's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of appreciation, it was not easy to train the thieves in the city to be like this in just one night.

Since returning to Changshe, Ma Yue has been busy checking casualties and designing to deal with the 3,000 Wuhuan Iron Cavalry, plus he has always ignored the Yingchuan thieves, and he didn't even know that Changshe almost changed hands, and the battle situation was almost reversed! I didn't know that in the battle for the long club, there was once a small leader who was not afraid of danger and saved the entire battle.

Without warning, the calm earth began to tremble slightly, and when everyone felt the ground tremble, a faint thunder rolled in from the northern sky, and in a matter of moments, it became a suffocating rumble! All the Yellow Turban thieves held their breath and looked out through the gap in the wooden fence, only to see that on the endless plain, a large area of green iron armor was rolling in, and that ~~ were the brothers of the eight hundred Liukou.

"Archer~~ Ready!"

The loud roar of the little leader sounded again, overpowering the suffocating rumble, and clearly reached the ears of the first thief, and the five hundred archers who were waiting for the battle quickly dispersed, standing in a single column behind the camp fence, and they all removed the longbows on their backs and put them in their hands, and the sharp wolf's tooth arrows were already on the strings, and they wanted to open their bows and release their arrows at the first order.

"Huh?"

Ma Yue's suspicious gaze fell on the little leader on the gate and beside Pei Yuanshao, unlike all the Yellow Turban thieves with shocked faces and nervous expressions, this little leader was cold and indifferent, and turned a blind eye to the tide of cavalry rolling in front of him. What a guts! Ma Yue couldn't help but praise in his heart.

"Boom~~"

In the deafening continuous loud noise, eight hundred liukou finally surged in, and the chaotic cavalry rushed through the gate and poured into the barracks like a tide, and it was Zhou Cang who rode first. While galloping on the horse, Zhou Cang saw Ma Yue at a glance, and couldn't help shouting: "Big leader, Zhou Cang is fortunate not to be dishonored~~"

Ma Yue nodded awe-inspiringly, and when the last rogue galloped into the gate, he was about to order the gate to be closed, but the little leader standing on the gate had already taken a step ahead of him and shouted: "Spearmen~~ Block the door!" ”

More than a thousand spearmen standing on both sides of the gate quickly converged in the middle, and in an instant, a large area of dense spears had blocked the wide gate tightly, if the Wuhuan cavalry dared to rush forward, even if their iron hooves could crush the body of the thief soldiers, but the spears of the thief soldiers could also stab them out of countless blood holes.

Outside the gate.

Qiu Liju raised his right arm violently, and a loud roar resounded through the sky: "Stop pursuing~~"

The desolate horn sounded leisurely, and the surging Wuhuan cavalry was like a torrent hitting a strong wall, and in an instant changed the direction of advance, cut diagonally through the barracks, circled a large circle, and circled back to the front of the formation. The cunning Wuhuan did not even give the enemy longbowmen a chance to release their arrows.

In the camp, Ma Yue's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he said to the generals around him: "These Wuhuan people are really difficult!" ”

Zhou Cang panted and walked up to Ma Yue and said in a deep voice, "Who said it wasn't?" I thought that twenty miles away, these barbarians would not be able to catch up, and who would have thought that in less than four hours, these damn barbarians would actually catch up. If you go 10 miles further, the brothers will be entangled in these bastards. ”

Behind Ma Yue, the muscles of Guo Tu's cheeks jumped suddenly, and he thought in his heart, no matter how difficult the barbarian is, he is still a barbarian after all, how can he be the opponent of the horse butcher?

……

Five hundred steps away from the barracks, Qiu Liju slowly reined in his mount, and the bald-eared wolf came to Qiu Liju with a horse, and said loudly: "My lord, why don't you break down the camp with one blow?" ”

Qiu Liju's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Bald-eared wolf, didn't you find out that there are longbowmen in the enemy camp?" ”

"Huh?" The bald-eared wolf looked cold, squinted his eyes, and sure enough, he found a faint flickering cold glow behind the camp fence, and couldn't help but change his color, "I didn't expect there to be archers among the thieves!" ”

Qiu Liju said coldly: "How many times have I told you, the Han people are far more cunning than we imagined, and when dealing with the Han people, whether it is an official army or a thief, you must be extremely careful, the slightest negligence will cause an irreparable disaster!" Think about the Huns, who once beat our ancestors to the point where they had nowhere to stay, and now they are not subject to the silver power of the Han people? ”

The bald-eared wolf said awe-inspiringly: "The adult taught me a lesson. ”

Qiu Liju's eyes froze, his nose suddenly fanned twice, and he asked the bald-eared wolf, "Well, what kind of fragrance is this?" ”

The bald-eared wolf also sniffed a few breaths of the fragrance in the air, looked around to the left and right, and suddenly called out on the right side of his finger: "My lord, look, there is cooking smoke by the small river over there, which looks like the marching stove of the thief army." ”

"Oh?"

Qiu Liju put up a canopy and looked to the right, and sure enough, he saw a small river, and there was cooking smoke rising from the riverside. Stimulated by this rich fragrance, a strong hunger suddenly hit, and Qiu Liju remembered that he had only been chasing the thieves for four hours.
