A team of 1,000 people, who had just passed through Mi County, did not stop because it was dark, but sped up their journey and rushed to their destination Jing County at full speed.

This team is under the banner of the Sun family, the leading general Han Dang, and the official pays homage to Sima of the other department.

Han Dang held a big knife in his hand and hung a big bow on his back, urging the horse to forge ahead. Cavalry opened the way in front, followed by infantry. Although he never stopped along the way, he still didn't dare to relax in the slightest, and he still kept urging his subordinates to speed up their steps.

After seeing ten miles away from Mi County, suddenly a horse with a torch rushed in the dark night, and asked loudly who was the leading general Han Dang, saying that his general Chen Nuo had a letter to submit. Han Dangyue stepped forward immediately and opened the letter, it turned out that Chen Nuo had already known that he was coming, so he was waiting in Jingxian.

He also said that the general had been running for a day, and if he advanced again overnight, he was afraid that the soldiers would be tired and would not be able to continue to fight. Besides, when they come, his army will already be rested, and it is very foolish for you to work at ease, and you to attack and work for the general. So persuade him to rest for one night first, and how about we agree to fight again tomorrow?

Han Dang looked at it and asked Na Cai, "What was your general doing when he came?" ”

The rider said, "I'm looking at the map." ”

Han Dang laughed: "Go back and tell your general, just say that I, Han Dang, thank him for being able to speak out quickly." So let's just say okay, everyone has a night's rest, and tomorrow we agree to fight again! ”

The rider arched his hand, and went away with the torch.

After riding away, Han Dang stroked his beard and read the silk book again, and smiled at the left and right: "Chen Nuo originally guessed that we would run overnight, but he didn't plan it, but let people remind me, but it was the husband's doing." Hehe, he really didn't lie to me! ”

Left and right said: "Since ancient times, soldiers have not tired of cheating, what if this is his delaying tactics?" How should the general deal with himself? ”

Han Dang raised his hand and interrupted them: "Chen Nuo is also coming from afar, and he also needs to rest, so you don't have to hesitate." Speaking of which, this area is the most familiar to us, and Chen Nuo is a newcomer, and when he needs other help to decide on his next move.

He didn't rest so late, and he was still checking the map, and it seemed that he was looking for the best place for a decisive battle with our army. Since we have made an appointment to fight again tomorrow, then we can also take this opportunity to recharge our energy and not worry about it for a while! ”

Han Dang said, and immediately asked the army to camp on the spot, rest for the night, and prepare for tomorrow's battle.

After Chen Nuo asked the cavalry sent by Zhao Xue to deliver the letter back, he also immediately passed Han Dang's message from Zhao Xue to Chen Nuo's mouth.

After hearing this, Chen Nuo nodded, laughed, and put away the map.

Zhao Xue said beside him: "Okay, since Han Dang has promised to fight again tomorrow, general, you can also rest for a night." ”

Chen Nuo raised his head and asked Zhao Xue, "What time is it?" ”

Zhao Xue said: "It's almost midnight. ”

Chen Nuo calculated, the army ate and fell asleep before it was dark, it was about six o'clock at that time, and it was about twelve o'clock in the night, so it was almost six or seven hours of rest. It is enough to sleep according to a normal person.

When Chen Nuo thought of this, he also stood up and said, "Pass the order, let the army cook food every hour, and send troops at three o'clock." ”

Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment and said, "But, general, you haven't rested yet." Besides, didn't you make a promise to fight again tomorrow? Is it too early to send troops at this time? ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "Yangcheng was besieged, and Sun Jian suddenly divided his troops to Han Dang, the purpose was to drag us down." Han Dang was hoping that we could arrive late, so he readily agreed to our request. But we can't delay when we come from a long way to save people, and naturally the sooner we arrive, the better. ”

Zhao Xue said puzzledly: "Then why did the general have to agree with Han Dang to fight again tomorrow?" ”

Chen Nuo laughed and touched her head: "Silly girl, I don't know if you're really smart or fake dementia, don't forget, this is the battlefield, either you die or I die, how can you take the verbal agreement on the battlefield seriously?"

If Han Dang doesn't understand this truth, I'm afraid that he won't be worthy of leading the troops to fight alone. Besides, I agreed with Han Dang to fight again, but it was just to delay him and ask him not to come over and block our way. And we, as long as we pass through here, we can avoid Handang and go straight to Yangcheng. ”

Chen Nuo said as he unfolded the map and pointed out the direction of Yangcheng Mountain in the north of Yangcheng, and explained to her a little.

"I see."

Zhao Xue nodded: "The general looked at the map overnight, and it turned out that he was looking for a way to avoid Han Dang's people and minimize casualties." ”

But after thinking about it, Zhao Xue was a little puzzled, "However, if the general doesn't remind him and let him kill him in a daze, and then the general you ambush the troops everywhere and suddenly kill them by surprise, it will naturally be a great achievement." As long as the first battle is won and the morale of our army is raised, wouldn't it be better than this? ”

Chen Nuo smiled and shook his head: "This is gambling!" As a last resort, how can you joke with the lives of your brothers? Thinking about Han Dang is not a simple person, what I can think of, he may not be able to think of. If he can't think of it, it is better to let me move and seize the opportunity. ”

Zhao Xue nodded: "Then when Han Dang calms down, will he change his mind and kill again?" ”

"So we're going to go before he comes to his senses."

"Xue'er understands, Xue'er will go down and give the order."

After Zhao Xue retreated, that is, according to Chen Nuo's instructions, he asked the army to bury the pot and cook rice, and pulled out the big tent before the ugly time, cleaned it up, and gathered the whole army. When the soldiers were ordered at three o'clock, Chen Nuo gave an order and set off immediately.

Chen Nuo deliberately avoided Han Dang and sent troops from Yangcheng Mountain, and Han Dang's subordinates, who were not far from Mi County, had also rested for a while.

Although everyone fell asleep, only Han Dang, the commander of the whole army, failed to close his eyes for a while.

He tossed and turned on the couch and couldn't sleep, so he got up in his clothes, let people light up the oil lamp, and let people take a picture of the ground and study it carefully. Although he boasted that he was familiar with the surrounding terrain, he was still not at ease, afraid that there would be negligence, so he still had to look at it again and again, simulating the battlefield.

The terrain of the battlefield agreed upon by him and Chen Nuo was much smoother than the rolling mountains around Yangcheng, and it was also conducive to the battle of large troops. After thinking about it repeatedly, it seems that no one can take advantage, after all, they are not much away from the agreed place at the moment.

Han Dang put down the map, although he thought about it clearly, he still couldn't rest assured for some reason. He paced anxiously in the tent, and came out of the tent, his head looking up at the starry sky. It was late autumn in September, and the night was as cold as water, and after all, he was only wearing a thin white underwear and a soft robe outside, and the night wind was blowing and went straight into his arms.

Han Dang shuddered.

He looked at the stars, the stars as both sides as enemies, and the dark sky as the battlefield. If he looks to the left, he advances on the left; If you are on the right, you will attack on the right. The two stars, like the enemy and us, are fighting together. But his eyes noticed another star at the same time, and Quan regarded him as Yangcheng. Yangcheng is in the rear, and they are fighting in the front. But in the blink of an eye, the enemy's star disappeared and slid to the side. Next to that......

Han Dang woke up like a dream and was scared into a cold sweat. He hurriedly returned to the big tent, searched on the map, and finally found the point marked with the location of Yangcheng Mountain, and suddenly realized.

He smiled: "What a Chen Nuo!" ”

And Chen Nuo, after a night of hard work with the team, finally arrived at Yangcheng Mountain before dawn.

Don't take the avenue, take the mountain road, although it is more rugged, but the distance is shortened a lot, and it easily avoids Han Dang's interception soldiers, which is very cost-effective for Chen Nuo.

As long as you pass through the Yangcheng Mountain in front of you, you can go straight to Yangcheng.

Not long after Chen Nuo and his team entered the mountain, the scouts he sent out to monitor the movements of Han Dang's headquarters came back and reported an important news to Chen Nuo. It turned out that Han Dang had really seen through Chen Nuo's plan, and he had already arrived with troops overnight, and now it was only two or three miles away from them.

Chen Nuo had actually guessed that Han Dang was not so easy to deceive, so he had already prepared. After hearing the news, he asked the scout to reprobe, and he immediately deployed, dividing the army into three groups, one led by himself and ambushed on the spot, and the other was led by Han Meng and placed at the entrance to the mountain pass, waiting for Han Dang's army to arrive. The other was handed over to Zhao Xue, and she asked her to lead the only twenty or thirty cavalry to ambush outside the mountain, ready to stand by at any time.

By the time Chen Nuo's side was arranged, Han Dang and his subordinates had already killed them violently. But before he approached Yangcheng Mountain, he stopped his army first, looked at the steep mountain in front of him, and did not rush to attack.

Han Dang sent someone to investigate first, and when he learned that Chen Nuo had entered Yangcheng Mountain one step ahead of them, he had to be relieved. His subordinates persuaded him that since Chen Nuo had already entered, he was afraid that he would fall into the way of a thief if he pursued him at this moment, so it was better to withdraw his troops. Although Han Dang was reluctant in every possible way, after weighing it, he had to make this decision.

However, at this time, another cavalry reported that the thieves had not gone far and were still in the mountain pass. Han Dang didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he immediately led the men and horses to kill him. Although Han Dang didn't recognize Chen Nuo, he saw Chen Nuo's banner from afar, so he didn't care about anything else, and led his men and horses to kill him.

Han Dang took the lead, raised his knife and danced wildly, and rushed to the opponent's big bow in the blink of an eye. Han Meng also raised a big knife and kept staring at Han Dang. Seeing that Han Dang's momentum was very sharp, he did not hesitate at all, and rushed out with his horse.

He raised the knife in his hand and shouted at Han Dang: "The thief will look at the knife!" ”

Han Meng's strength was heavy, and the big knife he made was whirring in his hand, and everywhere he passed was bloody.

Han Dang is familiar with bow horses, and he is also a rough character, and he is not afraid of death in battle. Seeing that Han Meng was reckless, he didn't say a word, but also raised the big knife in his hand, danced the group of knife flowers, and slashed Han Meng's head under the cover. These two fought viciously, and more than a dozen rounds passed in a blink of an eye. Although Han Meng was aggressive, he did not forget Chen Nuo's instructions, and seeing that it was almost over, he put the knife away, roared, and ran back.

Han Dang was sweating profusely, and finally found such an opponent, how could he let him go? He shouted and immediately chased after the men and horses. As soon as Han Meng left, the other sergeants also dispersed like water, and those who didn't have time to run were already trampled into blood and mud by the chaotic army. Han Dang saw that the thief was defeated like this, and he didn't let it go and chased after him.

Han Dang chased and killed for a while, and suddenly saw Han Meng, who was running in front of him, pull his horse violently and stopped, turned back and shouted to him: "Don't deceive you too much, thief, do you think Lao Tzu can't beat you before you run?" Come on, come on, now compete with you! ”

Han Meng suddenly returned to his horse to kill, and at the same time, the gongs and drums on both sides of the mountain were violently beaten, countless rocks flew down, and then arrows fell from the top of his head like locusts. Han Dang was startled, knowing that he had been tricked, he hurriedly pulled his horse and was about to return to the army. But as soon as he turned around, he realized that another cavalry behind him had blocked their retreat.

A rain of boulders and arrows fell, although Han Dang's department was cut off before and after, but it was Han Meng who was exposed too early, otherwise when Han Dang's department was completely shortlisted, it would not be so easy for them to run.

When the stones ran out, Chen Nuo also rushed down from the mountain with the ambush soldiers and killed the enemy formation.

In order to lure Han Dang before, Han Meng ate Han Dang's arrow when he escaped, although he narrowly avoided it, but there was a scratch on his arm and a lot of blood flowed. He completed the task at the moment, and he was eager to find Han Dang for revenge. And Han Dang, although he hated Han Meng for leading him into a trap, he was not confused after all, and he still led the army to rush back and kill. The cavalry behind, under the leadership of Zhao Xue, intercepted the front and back, which made it difficult for Han Dang to get out of the siege for a while.

In the chaos, Han Dang sat down and was shot down by random arrows, and he had to abandon his horse and fight. He stood on a large rock, observed for a moment, then took the big bow from his back again, pulled an arrow, and shot it out.

With a miserable scream, one person fell off the horse in response!

It was none other than Zhao Xue who fell off the horse. Zhao Xue temporarily commanded this group of cavalry, and as soon as she fell, the other cavalry also lost their backbone, and their combat effectiveness was suddenly weakened. Han Dang also took advantage of this time, collected his bow and arrows, grabbed a horse, turned over, and rushed forward with his troops to kill.

Han Dang had just gotten on his horse, and Han rushed up from behind, wielding a knife and slashing him directly at the back of the head. After all, Han Dang is familiar with bow horses, and his ability to listen to the wind is amazing. At the same time as Han Meng slashed at him, he leaned forward, his legs clamped, and the whole person rushed forward with the horse. Even so, in the end, it was within the reach of Han Meng's blade, and it was scraped on the back, and the back was cold. Needless to say, the place where it was located had been breached, and blood was pouring out.

Han Dang endured the pain, and in order for his subordinates to escape, he had to pull his horse backwards and swing his knife to block Han Meng's attack. The two knives collided, making a piercing sound. Han Dang's arm was slightly numb, and blood overflowed from the tiger's mouth. Looking at the other party again, his eyes widened, his beard was messed up, like a fierce god, even if his palms were bloody, he didn't care at all.

This guy is crazy! Although Han Dang was not afraid of death, he knew that it was not worth dying at the hands of a reckless man. He roared angrily, shook Han Meng's knife away with all his might, and then pulled his horse and galloped forward. How could Han Meng let him go, after he retreated slightly, he immediately swung his sword and killed him. Han Dang turned around, and seeing that Han Meng was chasing after him again, he immediately took his bow and arrow, shot an arrow back, and then ran away with his horse.

Chen Nuo had already caught up at this time, and seeing that Han Dang had only run away with hundreds of people, he didn't bother to chase after him, so Ming Jin asked Han Meng and others to collect the troops. Although this battle killed more than 100 people on the other side and captured almost two or three hundred people, it caused Zhao Xue to suffer an arrow wound, although it was not killed, in the end it made Chen Nuo feel very uncomfortable.

He called Han Meng and scolded him for not being in a hurry to expose him, otherwise Han Dang would not have run away easily. That Han Meng didn't say a word, he just thought that the next time he met Han Dang, he must have another fight with him.

Chen Nuo sighed helplessly when he saw him like this, and he really couldn't bear to blame him. The hand stroked the wound on his arm, said a few words of condolence, and asked the accompanying military doctor to bandage his wound.

He came to Zhao Xue's side again, and saw that the beads of sweat on Zhao Xue's face had washed away the gray and black layer of her face, revealing her original crystal white skin, Chen Nuo was shocked, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Xue was a daughter. She suffered so much for him, how could he bear it?

Zhao Xue opened her eyes and seemed to read the guilt in his eyes. She didn't show vulnerability, but smiled openly, and deliberately said in a rough voice: "Thank you, General, for coming to visit the little one!" Finally, the small life is big, and he can't die for a while, general, don't worry! ”

Chen Nuo was pulled back to reality by Zhao Xue's 'general', yes, now that he is in the army, he can't have any partiality, and others are still looking at him. He tried to control his emotions, and deliberately touched her face with a black paw to make her face less clean, and then nodded his head to express his reassurance.

Zhao Xue lowered her head, probably misunderstanding Chen Nuo's intimate actions, and her heart was sweet for a while, and she didn't know what to do.

Although the battle repelled Han Dang, Chen Nuo knew very well in his heart that the road ahead of him was still very difficult, and he couldn't stop until he reached Yangcheng. He commanded his subordinates, and after a simple cleaning of the battlefield, he continued to move forward with his team.

Target, Yangcheng!

Chen Nuo continued to set off here, and Han Dang, who had just suffered defeat, also cleaned up the defeated soldiers along the road, and finally gathered five or six hundred people. Han Dang was on the horse, and he was also very sad to see this defeated soldier hanging his head one by one.

You must know that since he followed Sun Jian to raise his army, he has gone through dozens of battles before and after, and because he was fearless in killing the enemy, he was promoted to Sima of other departments step by step. I thought I could show my skills from now on, but I didn't expect to lose at the hands of a little-known thief today. He looked at the soldier in front of him, his heart was like ashes, and he thought that he would never have the face to go back to explain to General Sun, he sighed and reached out to touch the knife.

At this moment, a horse neighed from behind, and a person shouted: "General Han, General Huang has come to answer the general on the order of General Sun!" ”

Han Dangmeng opened his eyes: "Is it Huang Gong and General Huang coming?" Haha, it's saved! ”
