Fifty miles north of Wuzhong City, Gao Mountain.

Yesterday afternoon, Xiang Guan's 3,000 pro-army had already set up a large camp at the southern foot of Gaoshan Mountain, but what made Xiang Guan feel annoyed was that until now, there had been no news of Xiang Guan.

"Where's Xiang?" Xiang Guan was pacing back and forth in the big tent, roaring angrily as he paced, "Let General Ben come all the way to Gaoshan, and he will not come by himself, what does he want to do?" Huh? ”

Lu Yuan, who was standing on the side, also had a wry smile on his face, and he couldn't guess why he hadn't arrived for a long time.

If Xiang has any unfavorable intentions for Xiang Guan, Lu Yuan will not believe it, although Xiang has the support of more than a dozen old Chu clans in Wuzhong, but these old Chu clans are no longer what they used to be, although their influence is still there, but their own strength is quite limited, just with these dozen old clans, it would be good to be able to make up thousands of soldiers.

With these less than a thousand soldiers, how could they threaten Xiang Guan's safety?

The only thing that can threaten Xiang Guan's safety is only Xiang Tuo's army, and Xiang Zhuang in Jiangbei, but Xiang Tuo's army has been stationed in the camp in the west of the city, and Xiang Zhuang's army is stationed in Jiangbei.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Yuan agreed that Xiang Guan would come to Gaoshan to have a secret meeting with Xiang Ta, because no matter what Xiang He's intentions, at least Xiang Guan's safety was guaranteed.

When Xiang Guanzheng was annoyed, a personal soldier suddenly entered the account and said, "General, a large number of unknown hunters suddenly appeared in the depths of the dense forest. ”

"Aren't they just a few hunters?" Xiang Guan roared angrily, "What's all the fuss about? ”

"Hmm, unidentified hunter?" Lu Yuan instinctively felt a little bad, although it was still early spring, and it was also a good time for hunting, but there have always been fierce beasts in the depths of Gao Mountain, ordinary hunters did not dare to go deep at all, and a large number of hunters appeared in groups, the situation became more and more suspicious, and then Lu Yuan asked again, "How many people?" ”

"I don't know." The soldier shook his head and said, "There are dozens of hunters who have appeared, and there are nearly a thousand people in total, and it seems that there are more hunters in the depths of the dense forest." ”

"Nearly a thousand?" Xiang Guan was surprised, "Where are so many hunters near Gaoshan?" ”

"It's not good" Lu Yuan was even more taken aback, and lost his voice, "General, leave this place quickly......"

"Woo woo woo ......" The voice fell, and a faint horn sound suddenly came in from outside the tent, and it sounded as if it came from the deep mountains, Lu Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he said miserably: "It's bad, there are ambushes in the mountains"

"Ambush?" Xiang Guan pursed his lips and said abruptly, "As long as it is not the army of Xiang Tuo and Xiang Zhuang, and there are only a few thousand ambush soldiers, why should this general be afraid?" After saying this, Xiang Guan turned his head and yelled, "Lu An, Lu Ding"

Two generals in heavy armor had already stepped in and said loudly, "What does the general command?" ”

"Order the whole army to assemble immediately" Xiang Guan waved his hand and said in a cruel voice, "If these villagers don't come, if they dare to come, they will be killed by the general." ”

The two generals agreed to the promise and took the order.

Xiang Guan said to Lu Yuan again: "General Ben wants to see, what does Xiang want to do?" ”。

After saying that, Xiang Guan walked out of the big tent with his sword, Lu Yuan frowned, and also walked out of the big tent.

When Xiang Guan and Lu Yuan ascended the lookout near the gate, at least two thousand people had gathered in the open space around the camp, and in the deep mountains and dense forests farther away, there were more figures haunting, most of these people were wearing thin garments, looking like poor hunters near Gaoshan, but Lu Yuan saw something unusual. First of all, these Orions are not using hunting forks, but swords and halberds

Secondly, these Orions do not have prey on their shoulders, and their hands are empty, which is very abnormal, so many Orions go into the mountains to hunt, how can they also hunt one or two large prey, how can they all return empty-handed?

Finally, and most importantly, what does it mean that these hunters did not take a detour after seeing Xiang Guan's camp, but flocked from all directions? This shows that they are not poor hunters near Gaoshan at all, these people are simply coming for Xiang Guan, and Xiang Guan is the real target of their hunting

"General, hurry up and abandon the camp to break through." Lu Yuan said, "Otherwise, it will be too late." ”

"No, why break through? Since Xiang and his children want to send these rabble to death, how can he do it if it is not fulfilled? Let's kill them all here" Xiang Guan said, the corners of his mouth already bloomed with a trace of disdainful sneer, just with these thousands of hunters, they also want to ambush their own three thousand pro-army? It's just a joke

Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "General, a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, think twice"

"Think twice? What is there to think against? Xiang Guan said coldly, "General Ben is not going anywhere, just waiting for Xiang He Xiao'er here, General Ben wants to see what tricks Xiang He Xiao'er can play?" This dog thing who doesn't know how to lift has wasted the kindness of General Ben, hum"

However, as time passed, Xiang Guan's face gradually became solemn.

About half an hour later, at noon in the sky, the number of hunters swarming out of the deep mountains and dense forests reached five or six thousand, and it completely blocked the road of Xiang Guan's army out of the mountain, at this moment, no matter how stupid Xiang Guan was, he knew that he had fallen into Xiang He's calculations, but Xiang Guan was also a little puzzled, where did Xiang he move so many people from?

Could it be that Xiang Xiang has already joined forces with Xiang Tuo in secret, and these nearly 10,000 horses were borrowed from Xiang Tuo?

Thinking of this, Xiang Guan turned his head, glared at Lu Yuan with some annoyance, and asked, "Lu Yuan, didn't you say that Xiang Tuo's army has always been stationed in the camp in the west of the city and has not moved?" ”。

"That's right." Lu Yuan said without thinking, "Xiang Tuo's army has not made any changes so far. ”

"And where did these five or six thousand centaurs come from?" Xiang Guan roared angrily, "Could it be that these old guys such as Shusun Guan, Qu Yi, and Wu Qi were summoned overnight?" ”

"This ......" Lu Yuan was speechless for a moment.

Xiang Guan snorted, turned his head and shouted: "Lu An, Lu Ding, open the gate and launch an attack"

Although Xiang Guan is an idiot in politics, he still has some brains in military affairs, and he knows that the situation will only get more and more severe if he waits here, because the other party has gathered more than 5,000 people, and people are constantly swarming out of the deep mountains and dense forests, God knows how many people Xiang He Xiaoer ambushed in the depths of Gao Mountain?

Wait here any longer, that's really waiting to death, he's not stupid.

"Huh" Lu An and Lu Ding suddenly agreed, and then drew their swords and raised them high above the top, and shouted loudly, "The general has an order, open the gate, and the whole army will attack......

Suddenly, a loud horn sounded in the camp of Xiang Guan, and in the continuous sound of horns, the originally closed gate slowly opened.

#########

On a lonely peak five miles away from Xiang Guan's camp, Gao Chu and Xiang He were watching coldly.

Seeing that Xiang Guan's camp was wide open, and a team of armor soldiers were surging out of it, Xiang He couldn't help but be a little anxious, and said, "General Gao Chu, Xiang Guan wants to escape."

Gao Chu said indifferently: "Rest assured Yin, he can't run." ”

Xiang Guan chose to abandon the camp, but he could only die faster, if he defended the camp, he might be able to support for a few more hours, but no matter how much he supported, it would be impossible to hold out until the reinforcements arrived, because most of the 40,000 clan children under Xiang Guan's command had been restrained by Xiang Tuo's army, and even if he wanted to reinforce, he would be lacking in skills. ..., after a pause, Gao Chu turned around and shouted: "Pass my order, get out of the way"

"Oh" The broken army guarding behind Gao Chu suddenly responded, and then immediately received the order, but Xiang He, who was standing next to Gao Chu, was taken aback, and said in a lost voice, "What, get out of the way?" ”

"Yes." Gao Chu nodded lightly and said, "Get out of the way." ”

"General Gao Chu, did you hear me right? A lot of words" Xiang He became more and more disbelieving, "If we get out of the way, Xiang Guan's 3,000 elite soldiers only need to go forward less than five miles to get out of the mountain, as long as they go out of the mountain, it will be difficult to block them again, why can't we block Xiang Guan and his 3,000 elite soldiers in the deep mountains?" ”

Gao Chu said indifferently: "Ling Yin, the target of our hunt this time is Xiang Guan, not his three thousand pro-army."

"This ......" Xiang Xiang was stunned when he heard this, and only after a long time did he say a little sneeringly, "Is there a difference between this?" ”。

"Of course there is a difference." Gao Chu said thoughtfully, "It is not easy to completely annihilate the three thousand personal soldiers of the crown, if you really force them into a desperate way, they will definitely cause great casualties to our army under the stubborn resistance, and it is a pity to kill all these three thousand personal soldiers, no matter what, this is a group of veterans who have experienced a hundred battles." ”

Xiang He frowned, and said disapprerovingly: "These three thousand soldiers are loyal to Xiang Guan, and it is not easy to recruit them." ”

"It's not easy, you don't know until you try it." Gao Chu waved his hand and said indifferently, "As for now, let's kill Xiang Guan first." ”

##########

In the sound of hurried horses' hooves, Xiang Guan swarmed out of the mountain pass under the cluster of more than 100 personal riders.

Rushing out of the mountain pass hundreds of paces, Xiang Guanshi stopped his horse, and then looked behind him, only to find that the three thousand elite soldiers accompanying him were surging out of the mountain pass hundreds of steps away, and the five or six thousand men and horses that suddenly emerged from the deep mountains and dense forests had already been thrown into the mountain pass farther away.

At that moment, Xiang Guan looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, Xiang is a child, I want to calculate General Ben, and I am still tender."

Before the words fell, the dense forests on the left and right sides of the mountain pass suddenly sounded an abrupt horn sound, and then two teams of fully equipped cavalry came out of the woods on the left and right sides of the mountain pass like a ghost, Xiang Guan's face suddenly changed greatly, and the sudden appearance of these two groups of cavalry immediately blocked the connection between the three thousand infantry and Xiang Guan and more than 100 personal cavalry.

"Not good" Lu Yuan was taken aback, and immediately turned around and yelled at Lu An and Lu Ding, "Lu An, Lu Ding, protect the general, hurry up" ......,
