readx; Although the city wall of Baocheng County is strong, it is layered on top of each other, more like a pair of dominoes, when a gap collapses, it will produce a serious joint collapse, so that the seemingly solid city wall collapsed in an instant, the Anxi army entered Baocheng County like a tide, hundreds of war horses galloped strongly, like a strong wind swept through the night, the first to rush into the gap.

At this time, the defenders of Baocheng County were still immersed in extreme panic and confusion, the impact of the earth-shattering thunder brought to them was tantamount to the collapse of heaven and earth, the Anxi cavalry took the lead in rushing into the county, the war horse galloped, the horizontal knife killed, the head was chopped off, the chest was pierced, in front of the fierce Anxi army, any resistance was in vain, the defenders were frightened and scattered, they knelt down and surrendered, the recalcitrant ones were killed on the spot, the cavalry rushed all the way, until the south gate of Baocheng County, the defenders at this time did not have time to open the city and escape, the Anxi cavalry arrived at a gallop, taking control of the South City Gate.

In the corner of the city wall, the guard Yang Wei trembled with fear, the caution on his body was no longer visible, only timidity and cowardice remained, the sharp siege engines of the Anxi army completely paralyzed him, he didn't even have the courage to shout surrender, he wanted to shout, but his voice was dumb, only trembling like chaff all over his body.

"Surrender! We surrender! ”

His own soldiers had realized Yang Wei's fear, and began to shout, their shouts became the last piece of dominoes to fall, the city gate was wide open, the drawbridge was lowered, and a group of defenders ran out with spears and bows and crossbows, and in a moment they gathered nearly two thousand people, they knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness from the Anxi army, each of them was full of fear, many people trembled, they couldn't even kneel, and they were completely paralyzed on the ground.

Li Siye rode forward, squinting at these surrenderers, at this moment he suddenly lost interest in Baogu City, and also lost respect for the Hanzhong army, an army that did not even have the courage to resist, was not worthy of fighting against the Anxi army, he waved his hand, threw the matter of handling prisoners of war to his subordinates, and led the army through Baocheng County, continued to the south, and drove south to Zheng.

．．．．．．．

Although the Anxi army blocked the news that Baocheng was captured, Li Huan of Nanzheng still knew the fall of Baocheng from the first time, which made him extremely panicked, he could not know the details of Baocheng County being conquered, but he knew the solidity of Baocheng County, such a strong city wall was conquered overnight, which made his heart fall into an inexplicable uneasiness, the only thing he had comfort was the comparison of the strength of the two sides, he had 30,000 troops in his hands, and there was a strong city to rely on, and the other party only had 40,000 people, as long as he defended the city, According to the normal offensive tactics, within half a year, the Anxi army would not want to take Nanzheng City, maybe there would be no follow-up, and the defeat would return to Guanzhong, which was Li Huan's wishful thinking, but the Anxi army took Baocheng County overnight but woke up his dream, and he suddenly realized that Nanzheng City was not so reliable.

Li Huan stood on the city wall, looking at the north worriedly, from Baocheng County to South Zhengcheng is about sixty miles away, but yesterday at the fourth watch, some of their soldiers faintly heard the sound from the direction of Baocheng County, like thunder, but last night they had a cloudless sky here, and Baocheng County should be the same, so where did this thunder come from? Is it really thunder, or something else......

Li Huan didn't dare to think about it anymore, he had heard that the Anxi Army had a very powerful weapon, called Tianlei, which exploded like thunder and could be heard hundreds of miles away, could it be that the Anxi Army used this weapon last night?

In this regard, Li Huan's heart was full of worries, but what made Li Huan even more worried was the 10,000 defenders of Xingdao County and Gucheng County, whether they could withdraw safely, that was his judgment error, he thought that the Anxi army would take the Han water road, so he laid heavy troops in the two counties, but the Anxi army finally took the Luo Bao trail, which made his deployment fail.

Now 10,000 troops are deployed outside, seriously distracting his forces, if he recruits back, he is afraid that it will be too late in time, if he puts the army outside, he is worried that the 20,000 troops will be difficult to resist the fierce siege of the Anxi army, which makes Li Huan seem to be in the air, and he can't go up or down, he is full of anxiety, but he is helpless.

Just two hours after Baocheng County was attacked, Li Huan received the latest information, the main force of the Anxi army has appeared about twenty miles northwest of Nanzheng City, has set up a large camp, the security is extremely tight, his scouts can not get close to probe intelligence, from the scale of the camp, not less than 50,000 people, Li Huan probably also saw Anxi's strategy, they sent troops from Chang'an, only three days and three nights rushed to Nanzheng, including the capture of Baocheng County, such speed and physical consumption even the gods can not stand, Therefore, Li Huan had already judged the movement of the Anxi Army, they should rest in the camp and accumulate the strength to attack Nanzheng again, but how long do they need to be stationed in the camp, a day or two days? This is extremely important to Li Huan, which is related to whether his 10,000 troops can return safely.

Although the Anxi army set up the main camp north of Nanzheng, there was still a cavalry of 13,000 men under the leadership of the general Zhao Chongjie, directly from Baocheng County to the southeast of Nanzheng.

．．．．．．

In addition to their own scout team, the Anxi Army also has a falcon team, which is actually a scout, but their role is mainly anti-reconnaissance, that is, to eliminate the other party's scouts and protect their whereabouts from being exposed, but there are not many falcons in the Anxi army, there are only three in total, one is in the hands of Li Qing'an, one is in Li Guangbi's Longyou Army, and the other is in Li Siye's Hezhong Army.

Today, because it is necessary to implement Li Siye's strategy, it is necessary to absolutely ensure that the whereabouts of the Anxi army are not leaked, otherwise Li Siye's plan will fail, and in order to ensure that the whereabouts are not leaked, this falcon will play an important role.

Beside a dense forest, a scout squad of the Hanzhong army galloped in, they were about twenty people, originally patrolling south of Baocheng County, and were temporarily transferred to the Hanshui Road last night, and their task was to find out if there was an ambush of the Anxi army on the Hanshui Road.

They ran all the way, and did not find any trace of the Anxi army, according to the rules of fifty miles and one report, they had already used the flying pigeon to pass the news of safety to Nanzhengcheng, and they would continue to patrol to the east, and finally arrive in Gucheng County.

This scout team is very experienced, when they are close to the dense forest, they will pay attention to the changes in the flock of birds in the dense forest, and when they are on the road, they have to observe whether there are dense horseshoe prints on the road, and even from the horseshoe prints, they can tell whether the war horse is a mountain horse from Jiannan or a high-headed horse from the Western Regions.

Next to the trees is a small river, and in late autumn the water is very shallow, revealing a large riverbed, which forms a natural marching path.

Despite the cautious nature of the Scouts, they were no match for the more experienced Ansey Scout Falcons, and they gradually entered the Falcons' net.

In the dense forest, five hundred falcon scouts had been waiting for a long time, they hid in the trees and under the trees, as if they were part of the woods, they did not move, even the birds ignored their presence, but their special poison crossbows had locked the twenty scout soldiers and their warhorses from all sides.

The scout squad of the Hanzhong army approached the dense forest, and then turned around and went east along the riverbed, at this moment, only to hear a terrible cry of an owl, which was the signal of the launch, and the stunned birds rushed to the sky, only to see five hundred poisonous crossbows shot like lightning, as if a large swarm of wild bees roaring to the nest, twenty scouts and their war horses let out a terrible scream, all fell to the ground and died, not a single one survived.

In a moment, the Falcon buried the corpse, erased the traces, and instead of walking on the riverbed, they walked eastward on the shallow water, which rippled in patches of turbidity, but soon became clear again, and there was not a trace to be seen.

．．．．．．

An hour later, Zhao Chongjie's army arrived thirty miles east of Nanzheng, which was the place where the Falcon annihilated the Nanzheng scout team, and then he received information from the Falcon that a Hanzhong army of about 5,000 people was ten miles away, which should be the defenders of Gucheng County, but Zhao Chongjie was more concerned about whether his whereabouts were exposed, so he asked: "Can the Falcon encounter the enemy's scouts?" ”

The report scout bowed down and reported: "The Falcon team has annihilated two opposing scout teams, one is the outpost of the Gucheng County defenders, and the other is the spies sent by Nanzheng, and the two enemy scout teams have all been annihilated, and no one has escaped the net." ”

"Well done!"

Zhao Chongjie praised and said, "Let the Falcon team strengthen the search, especially not let Nanzheng's spies discover our whereabouts." ”

"Yes!"

The scout saluted, then turned the horse's head and went down, at this time Zhao Chongjie looked at the river valley in the distance, and was about to meet in close arms, and he was on the scene.

"Pass my orders! The light cavalry advanced at full speed, and the heavy armor could lag behind. ”

．．．．．．

Xingdao County and Gucheng County are both in the east of Nanzheng, a Han River connects them together, Gucheng County is about 100 miles away from Nanzheng, and Xingdao County is 150 miles apart, because the Anxi Army did not take the Han water road, the 10,000 Han Chinese troops deployed in Xingdao County and Gucheng County must immediately withdraw to Nanzheng, Li Huan's withdrawal order was issued last night, and the two counties were sent to the two counties in the form of flying pigeons, and the garrisons of the two counties set off almost at the same time, but because the two counties were fifty miles apart, the defenders of Xingdao County were slowed down. The defenders of Chenggu County rushed to the territory of Nanzheng County first.

The 5,000 troops marched in formation on the north bank of the Han River, the Hanzhong army was far from being compared with the Anxi army, they had very few horses, there were only a few hundred war horses in the 5,000 army, basically they were infantry, and the distance of 80 miles, the 5,000 army had to walk almost a day.

At noon, the five thousand Han Chinese troops who returned from Gucheng County had arrived in a valley about forty miles east of Nanzheng, the team had arrived here, they were all exhausted, there was a small river in the valley, the water flow was crystal clear, I saw this small river, without waiting for the officers to order a rest, the soldiers rushed forward, squatted by the river to wash their faces and drink water, the officers saw that they could not stop the soldiers, and the surname Suo also let them go, so that the soldiers could rest for an hour, more soldiers ran to the river, and the noise resounded throughout the valley, but at this moment, Many soldiers stood up in amazement, they felt the earth tremble, the river also shook, as if there had been a slight earthquake, the soldiers looked at each other, no one knew what had happened, suddenly, one soldier pointed into the distance and shouted in horror: "Look, what is that?" ”

All the soldiers stood up straight, their eyes were full of horror, and they saw an overwhelming black cavalry appear three miles away, the war horses galloped, the swords and halberds were like a forest, like a black frenzy, and the monstrous murderous aura was like a shock wave on the flat ground, sweeping towards the five thousand Han Chinese troops by the river.

The Hanzhong army was stunned, suddenly, they reacted, turned around and fled, 5,000 soldiers were defeated like a mountain, they cursed the scouts in front of them, and hated their parents for giving him two feet less, and rushed to the east, the river beach was full of fleeing soldiers, they threw away their armor, threw away their weapons, threw away their packages, threw away everything they could throw away, and everyone had only one thought: escape! Escaping the massacre of the Anxi army.....

But where can they run past the Anxi cavalry, in an instant, the defeated Hanzhong army was caught up by the Anxi cavalry, the cavalry like a storm and clouds will engulf the defeated army piece by piece, or kneel to surrender, or be slashed by the cavalry, a soldier raised a spear and stabbed the Anxi cavalry, but was rushed to the Anxi cavalry to open the spear, a knife to split the head of the other person in half, the Hanzhong general was so anxious that he shouted: "Don't run, assemble to fight!" Rally for battle! ”

Before he finished speaking, a wolf's tooth arrow roared, an arrow hit his face, the main general screamed, turned over and fell off the horse, and was slashed off the head by the galloping Anxi cavalry, raised high, a hundred steps away, Zhao Chongjie, the general of the Anxi army, coldly put away his bow and arrows, he drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, cut off their escape route, and no one will be let go!" ”

The Anxi cavalry was like wind and lightning, the war horses tread through the water, stirring up splashes, and the other cavalry galloped along the foothills, and the burly Anxi cavalry were brightly armored, carrying bows and knives, and the momentum was fierce, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed past the fastest fleeing Hanzhong army, cutting off their escape path.

The Anxi cavalry surrounded the defeated army in Hanzhong from both sides, shouting and killing shook the sky, at this moment only the only way to survive is to surrender on the ground immediately, any hesitation and escape will be ruthlessly killed by the Anxi cavalry, the river beach is full of surrendered soldiers, many killed people rolled into the river, the clear river changed color, the blood stained the river red, less than an hour, five thousand Hanzhong from Gucheng County was wiped out.

A Lang general rushed up, clasped his fists at Zhao Chongjie and saluted: "Report to the general, according to their roster, there are a total of 5,340 people, a total of 1,140 people were killed, 4,200 people were captured, and none of them escaped!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Chongjie turned around and asked the sergeant, "Has the heavy armor army arrived?" ”

"General Hui, the Thousand Mo Sword Army has arrived, waiting for orders five miles away."

Zhao Chongjie nodded, at this time, a bound officer of the Han Zhong Army was brought up, this person is also a Zhonglang general, about thirty years old, burly figure, bearded, his name is Su Yu, Liangzhou Han, but his mother is Qiang, he came to Chang'an ten years ago to join the army, and is now the deputy general of the five thousand Han Chinese army, and the main will be killed by Zhao Chongjie with an arrow.

He stumbled in front of his horse when he fled, and was captured alive by the Anxi cavalry, although he was caught, he was still full of anger, and said hatefully: "If you have a kind of fight with me, what is the Anxi army by sneak attack!" ”

Zhao Chongjie sneered and gave the soldier next to him a look, "Untie him!" ”

Two soldiers cut the ropes on his body with long knives, and Zhao Chongjie asked again, "How many stone bows do you use?" ”

"Four Stone Bows!"

"It's okay, but it's far worse than my general."

Zhao Chongjie turned around and ordered: "Give him a four-stone bow, three arrows, and a horse." ”

A soldier handed Su Yu a bow and three arrows, and led him a horse, he was a little at a loss, and said, "You, what are you going to do?" ”

"Aren't you unconvinced? Then I will have a competition with you, and tell you that I am only forty-eighth among the archers and horses of the Anxi army, and if you can't compare with mine, don't talk big about it. ”

After speaking, Zhao Chongjie turned around and galloped away a hundred steps away, the surrounding soldiers scattered one after another, thousands of cavalry formed a big circle, a hundred steps away, Zhao Chongjie shouted: "After the drum is over, it will begin, the arrows are ruthless, life and death are up to the sky!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock ....."

The dense drum sounded, Su Yu took a deep breath, also turned over on the horse, adjusted the angle of the arrow, he pulled out an arrow, stretched his bow and set up the arrow, and suddenly the bow was like a full moon, and he squinted at Zhao Chongjie, who was a hundred steps away.

At this time, Zhao Chongjie is also the same arrow on the string, he just said that he is ranked forty-eighth in the Anxi archery, which is actually very modest, in fact, Zhao Chongjie is recognized as the fifth archery in the Anxi army, and it can be called a miracle in the Anxi army with a very heavy bow horse, he is using a five-stone bow, two arms have the strength of a thousand catties, and three consecutive arrows are 100 shots and 100 hits outside a hundred steps.

The drum beat tighter and tighter, and suddenly stopped, at the moment when the drum stopped, Su Yu's arrow shot out first, the arrow was strong, straight to Zhao Chongjie's throat, Zhao Chongjie's body shook, the person disappeared on the horse, he hung on the saddle, three consecutive arrows shot out like lightning, one arrow was faster than the other, the first arrow instantly reached Su Yu's chest, frightened him to the right, but the second arrow reached his face, the tip of the arrow roared, he saw a small black dot suddenly become larger, a little cold light flickered, it was too late to hide, He had to close his eyes and wait for death, only to hear a click, the arrow hit his helmet, the tip of the arrow grazed his scalp, the pain was hot, before he could react, the third arrow hit his horse's neck, the war horse raised its front hooves and neighed, knocking Su Yu to the ground.

These three arrows were completed in an instant, many people did not see the ins and outs clearly, Su Yu had already fallen to the ground with arrows, at this time, Zhao Chongjie urged the horse to come, he turned over and dismounted, helped Su Yu up and said with a smile: "It's just child's play, General Su doesn't have to take it to heart, if you compare weapons, I'm afraid I won't be General Su's opponent." ”

Su Yu's face was full of shame, he was convinced, this kind of archery is not said to be the Hanzhong Army, I am afraid that there is not even the Jiannan Army, only Gao Xianzhi is said to be very powerful in archery, but he is only a member of the Zhonglang Army, not to mention Li Qing'an, who is known as the first arrow in the world.

Seeing Zhao Chongjie comforting himself like this, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, so he got up and knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Although I, Su Yu, am a reckless man, I also know that birds choose good trees to perch on, I am willing to serve the Anxi Army, please General Zhao to include it!" ”

Zhao Chongjie was overjoyed, what he wanted was for this deputy general to surrender to the Anxi Army convincingly, and he immediately helped him up and said: "The Anxi Army has always been rewarded for military merits, and the military law is strict. ”

Su Yu nodded secretly in his heart, he had heard that the Anxi army was strictly disciplined, and the rewards and punishments were clear, and today he saw the style of a general from an ordinary Zhonglang general, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he knew how good it was for him to go directly to Anxi to join the army.

Zhao Chongjie subdued the adjutant general of the Hanzhong Army, and he immediately ordered: "Order the first and second battalions to escort the prisoners of war back to the main camp, and the other brothers immediately reorganize their horses and prepare to go!" ”
