Now that it has been decided to go on the expedition, the next step is to arrange a series of tasks such as supervising grain and levying Ding, the breath of the war is blowing through Lu Bu's instructions, and each official's task is very complicated, but no one complains, everyone silently takes the warrant, and then rushes to where they should be.

The next day, after saying goodbye to his wife and daughter, Lu Bu quickly rushed back to the camp to discuss how to send troops.

In the Chinese military tent, the military generals of Wenchen stood on both sides, and Lu Bu saw that the tent was full of people and horses, and then nodded lightly, signaling that the military discussion could begin.

As the military advisor of the Bingzhou Army, Jia Xu took the lead in getting up, pointing to the leather map behind the Chinese army's tent, glanced at everyone seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this Western Expedition is not trivial, it is related to the life and death of the Bingzhou Army, and it is also about the foundation of our army. ”

Through the enlightenment of Chen Gong and others, Li Ru was no longer afraid at the moment, and got up and said: "Wenhou, this western expedition, the strength of the enemy army should not be underestimated, especially Lintao, this county is far away from Hanyang County, and adjacent to the Qiang and Wudu, it is a strategic place. Lintao City is more than eight feet high, high trenches and deep trenches, solid management, it is really a strong city, it is not easy to attack, our army has not much food and grass, if you do not fight quickly, delay for a long time, the grain and grass are not enough, then the army is cowardly! ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads, and Chen Gong was a gloomy voice, and then nodded and said: "What Wen Wei said is very true, in this campaign, our army's grain and grass is indeed a big key, with Liang Shuang as a fierce and weak person, once things are bad, they will collect all the grain and grass and return to Wudu, burn the grain and cut off the seeds, in order to cut off the supply of our army, this matter has to be prevented!" ”

Li Ru saw that Chen Gong finished speaking, and then smiled: "There are disadvantages and advantages, Liang Shuang invaded Longxi, and the soldiers burned and looted it was unpopular, if it burned rice for personal gain, and acted perversely, the people of Longxi will inevitably be lost, this is not a bad thing, and now the plan is only to attack quickly and attack Lintao with lightning speed, which is the best policy." ”

"What Li Wenwei said is extremely true, as for the grain and grass, we can quickly send people to Lintao to spread rumors, that is, Liang Shuang wants to burn grain and burn grain, so that the people are on guard, so that a part of the grain can be preserved, so that General Wenyuan can be better dispatched in the future, as for the problem of Lintao City, we can let General Jiang Xu station troops and train the new army in the open, but secretly judge the situation, if you find that the wind is blowing, you can lead the army to help General Wenyuan!" The speaker, with a faint face and a majestic face, his words are as eye-catching as Hong Zhong, and his words are to the point, it is Cheng Yu, Lu Bu's other mastermind.

Between the three strategists' words, Lu Bu made up his mind in an instant: "Yes, the soldiers are fast, if they hold each other for too long, the battle will be boundless, and it will fuel the arrogance of the enemy, so I decided to follow yesterday's plan, the generals will immediately go out and vow to recover the four counties!" ”

With Lu Bu's words finalized, the entire Bingzhou camp began to operate, first of all, Gan Ning and Zhou Tai led 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp, followed by Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Jiang Xu and other generals, after the army drove out of the camp, they went in different directions.

Lu Buti reined in his horse and said to Chen Gong and Cheng Yu beside him: "Longxian is tired of the two military divisions."

The two hurriedly saluted: "The lord can rest assured that he will go on the expedition, with us here, we can let the invading enemy come and go!" ”

Lu Bu nodded, with Chen Gong and Cheng Yu stationed in Longxian, he could rest assured, he glanced back at the long soldiers lined up, and waved the halberd in his hand: "Let's go!" As Lu Bu passed down the military order, the herald beside him quickly galloped back and forth in the ranks, waving Lu Bu's order flag back and forth.

"Let's go!" "Let's go!" "March!"

The generals and colonels of each song and department received the general order, raised their swords and guns in their hands, and ordered the army to set off.

In an instant, tens of thousands of troops marched forward together, and the heavy footsteps, like heavy machinery crushing the earth, shook the stones on the ground and trembled, until the birds in the forest fluttered their wings and flew wildly, and tigers, leopards, and jackals fled one after another.

In the big tent of Han Sui's army in Zhangxian County, Zhou Yi frowned as he looked at the battle report in his hand, since Lu Bu's divine soldiers descended from heaven and lifted the crisis in Hanyang, he was sent by Han Sui to this important place to block Lu Bu's army.

"General!" It was his deputy general He Jing who interrupted Zhou Yi's train of thought, Zhou Yi raised his head and frowned when he heard this: "What's the matter?" ”

"General Qiyu, the scout has come to report, Gan Ning, the vanguard general under Lu Bu's account, has entered Longxi, with more than 10,000 people!"

"What?" When Zhou Yi heard this, he stood up suddenly, and turned back and forth in the tent three times, he knew that Lu Bu would use troops in Longxi, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, he thought for a while, his fierce eyes rose, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The enemy army is tired, and the whole army is ordered to prepare for battle, and Lu Bu's vanguard general will be lost here!" ”

On the green plain, a group of about 10,000 elite soldiers are marching slowly to the west, when the first two generals, each holding a big knife, is the main general Gan Ning, and his deputy general Zhou Tai, both of them are eight feet tall away, the charm is extraordinary, the body is dignified, at a glance you know that it is a fierce general on the battlefield.

The sky is obscene and rainy, the fog under the sky rises, and the layers are permeated in the air, and the visibility is less than twenty zhang, this kind of weather is simply fatal for the scout Tanma, and can't help but make Gan Ning smile slightly: "Youping, the fog is filled, this is the heavens to help our army, this attack on Zhangxian County, it will be able to achieve great things, I deserve to establish the first merit, and hunt for fame in this dynasty"

"Why is Xingba so sure?" Zhou Tai turned his horse's head and asked Gan Ning.

I saw Gan Ning rubbing the green onion under his chin, and said calmly: "Zhou Yi is a general under Han Sui's account, he is competitive and competitive, and he is decisive and resourceful, he must think that we are tired from afar, and we will definitely take the initiative to attack, and you only need to do this and so ......when the time comes."

Out of Zhangxian County, Zhou Yi's lieutenant general saw that the fog was still pervasive, and immediately suggested: "General, the fog here has not dispersed for a long time, and the visibility is quite low, so it is not suitable for the army to fight, so we should retreat to Zhangxian County and defend it!" ”

Zhou Yi glared at him and shouted, "If we can't see it, the enemy army can see it?" If you dare to speak out and obstruct again, snub the morale of the military, don't blame a certain military law for being ruthless! ”

He Jing had no choice but to take a knife and confess, and Le Ma returned to his own department.

Under the leadership of Zhou Yi, Han Suijun moved forward quickly, passing through countless canyons and hills, and at this moment, a commotion suddenly came from behind Han Suijun, rushing Han Suijun's back into chaos.

"All the soldiers obeyed the order, rushed straight to the enemy camp, killed the enemy general, kill me!"

Zhou Tai carried a machete, charged ahead, and ordered the cavalry behind him to shout at the same time, and for a while, the thick foggy sky was filled with the roar of "kill the enemy general" everywhere.

The cavalry of the Bingzhou army were all superb in riding, and they kept shooting at Han Sui's army in the gallop, and many Han Sui's soldiers understood what was going on, only to hear a sharp roar in their ears, which pierced their eardrums.

The sound of "boom, boom, boom ......" broke through the sky above Han Sui's army, which instantly caused a series of screams, and after a rain of arrows, Han Suijun, who was caught off guard, was shot at least six or seven hundred people.

Under the leadership of Zhou Tai, this Biao Tie cavalry charged from west to east behind Han Sui's army, not entangled with the enemy, but only fired arrows on his horse from a distance, which greatly damaged the rhythm of Han Sui's army's march.

"Where is Luo Sheng? I ordered you to lead 3,000 cavalry to kill the invading enemy, and by the way, find out how many men and horses the other side has come, and where did they come from? Such a passive situation made Zhou Yi furious, and waved his hand to order one of the generals around him to lead the cavalry to block the attack.

"The last will be ordered!"

The general called Luo Sheng answered, waved the iron spear in his hand, and led three thousand cavalry on standby to stop the enemy.

Seeing the enemy cavalry covering up, Zhou Tai did not entangle with it, and immediately ordered the army to retreat to the east.

I saw a rain of arrows coming, and in an instant they shot more than 300 people from their own side, and just as the two sides were about to engage in a short battle, the enemy suddenly turned their horses and fled eastward.

"Damn, this is not a rabbit in the state army, it's really a seven-pronged me, give me all my strength to catch up!"

Luo Sheng was so angry that he jumped like thunder, looking at the Bingzhou army with only more than 1,000 horsemen, relying on the strength of his own people, carrying a big knife, and trying to catch up.

Zhou Tai led his troops to gallop wildly, turned the horse's head twice and shot a wave of arrows, and shot Han Suijun two or three hundred people, and then took advantage of Han Suijun's desire to shoot arrows to fight back, here they turned their horses' heads and fled again.

"These bunches of rabbits, fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, is it tolerable or unbearable, you guys move forward with me desperately, and annihilate these children!"

Luo Sheng was provoked to almost lose his mind, and recklessly rode his horse forward to catch up, relying on the superiority of his mount to the soldiers, and gradually threw the soldiers behind him farther and farther, and he had the momentum of riding a thousand.

Zhou Tai saw the enemy general chasing him single-handedly, and he secretly rejoiced in his heart alone, and immediately turned the horse's head to welcome him back, shouting: "The enemy general is not going to get off the horse and die!" ”

"Ignorant rats, it's not you who died in Anzhi?"

Luo Sheng has been famous in Xiliang for a long time, how could he put Zhou Tai in his eyes, and he was entangled with Zhou Tai at the moment.

Zhou Taili's big knife is fast, and every time he swings a knife, it is powerful and heavy, like thunder.

There were three or five rounds of the battle, Luo Sheng gradually lost his physical strength, and he was accidentally cut under the horse by Zhou Tai, and glanced at the enemy general under the horse, Zhou Tai dismounted, and looked at Luo Sheng's head with a knife, and carried Han Suijun, who was chasing behind, to demonstrate loudly: "You and the main general have been cut off, why don't you get off the horse and surrender quickly?" ”

Just when the cavalry of Han Sui's army was stunned, the soldiers behind Zhou Tai shot another wave of arrows and rained over, and instantly shot over more than 100 people.

The main general was killed, and a third of his companions were shot dead, and the morale of this Han Sui army was suddenly lost, and they did not dare to chase anymore at the moment, and they all turned their horses to move closer to the direction of the army.

"The enemy army was defeated, and the whole army pursued"

Seeing that the cavalry of the Han Sui army was defeated, Zhou Tai made a big knife move, and led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry behind him to follow behind, while chasing after the horses, while bending the bow and controlling the string from time to time, chasing five or six miles, and shooting a lot of Han Sui troops along the way.

Zhou Yi got the reward, and couldn't help but rush to the crown angrily, cut down a banner beside him with a knife, and scolded: "This Luo Sheng is simply a wine bag and rice bag, chasing and killing a thousand cavalry with thousands of cavalry, not to mention the loss of most of the people and horses, he actually lost his own head, and it is simply a loss of face for our Xiliang Army!" ”

He Jing suggested on the side: "This army of men and horses came from the east, nine times out of ten it was the elite of the front sent by Gan Ning, Luo Sheng was punished for underestimating the enemy, it was purely his own fault, the general should send a general to lead a heavy army to chase after him, he must chase after it relentlessly, and completely annihilate this small force of cavalry, so as to frustrate the enemy's spirit!" ”

"Recruit Zuo Chang!" Zhou Yi hung his knife on the saddle and ordered loudly.

After getting the military order, Zuo Chang, who was protecting the grain and grass, came to Zhou Yi quickly, and asked on the horse: "What does the general command?" ”

Zhou Yi angrily pointed at the Bingzhou army who was firing arrows in the distance and said: "This army disturbs our army from behind, and it is not peaceful, I will order you to lead 7,000 cavalry to pursue, even if you chase it to the sea, you will annihilate it all for me!" ”

"No!"

Zuo Chang promised, ordered 7,000 men and horses, and lined up to the east to cover and kill.

The great earthquake trembled with the uniform iron hooves and trampled on it, and the valley roared.

Zhou Tai heard the deafening sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and knew that Han Sui's army had dispatched the main cavalry this time, so he hurriedly ordered the whole army to retreat to the east, discarding the banners in his hands one after another, and faking signs of panic and fleeing.

Zuo Chang led his troops to chase all the way for more than 100 miles, but the cavalry of Bingzhou was exquisite, slightly higher than the head of a horse in the Western Liang army, and let Han Sui's army chase with all his strength, but it was always a distance behind.

"Collect the troops, don't chase them." Zuo Chang thought that it would be difficult to catch up with this merger army, and decided to order the whole army to retreat.

Unexpectedly, the Bingzhou army suddenly turned back, and a wave of arrows rained down from afar, and suddenly knocked over Zuo Chang's team by two or three hundred people.

Zuo Chang hurriedly ordered the whole army to shoot back, but the state army did not like to fight, and after shooting a wave of arrows, he turned his horse and left. Han Suijun's return shots almost all missed, and only shot a dozen or so people who fell behind.

Zuo Chang was suddenly as excited as Lu Kuang, and with a move of his spear, he shouted angrily: "These miscellaneous pieces are purely looking for death, and they will be pursued by my whole army!" Even if I chase it to the ends of the earth, I have to wipe it all out in order to vent the hatred in my heart! ”

In the hazy smoke, more than 1,000 Bingzhou troops fled in front, and nearly 7,000 Han Sui troops followed and pursued.

In the evening, the fog cleared.

Han Suijun pursued more than 100 miles of road, and the road under his feet became more and more precipitous, with undulating mountains on both sides of the road, covered with pines and cypresses, and a murderous atmosphere.

"Shhh...... It's not good, I'm afraid it's ambushed! Years of battlefield experience made Zuo Chang suddenly aware of the danger, and suddenly woke up in the gallop of his horse, and hurriedly reined in his horse and ordered the whole army to stop, but it was too late, drums sounded on both sides of the valley, and ambushes were everywhere. The rain of arrows like flying locusts fell from the sky, and the big stones rolled down the hillside with a bang, and the Han Sui soldiers who smashed straight turned over on their backs, and the whole army was in chaos.

"Retreat!" Zuo Chang was frightened, while waving his gun to dial Diaoling, while turning the horse's head, seizing the road and fleeing, just walked less than two miles, suddenly a drum sounded, and a team of men and horses were killed in the oblique stab.
