Chapter 172: The Northern Army Countermeasures

"Lord Zhouyang, Marquis of Ququ in the infantry battalion, Lu Shuai ordered you not to stop the thieves here!"

Just when Zhou Yang, Marquis of Ququ in the infantry battalion, was about to lead the non-commissioned officers of the Northern Army above the rank of Dubo to continue to pursue the 400 Yellow Turban pseudo-cavalry led by Zhang Huang, he was suddenly stopped by an officer who rushed from the Chinese army commander's tent.

"What?" Zhou Yang was stunned when he heard this, pointed at Zhang Huang and the others in the distance, bared his teeth and roared in a low voice, "You mean that Lao Tzu will ignore that group of thieves, right?" โ€

I have to say that the official horse is also worthy of being born in a famous family, although he was a little afraid of Zhou Yang's intimidation in his heart, his expression was still calm, and he added in a low voice, "Lord Quhou, rest assured, Duke Lu has set up a clever plan, and he will definitely be able to capture and kill all these thieves, and not let one go!" โ€

"......" Zhou Yang looked at the close official rider who belonged to the commander Lu Zhi with cold eyes, and said coldly, "You kid, do you know how many infantry battalion brothers these thieves have killed me?" โ€ฆโ€ฆ There is no need for Lu Gong's clever plan, Zhou can also get rid of it! โ€

After that, Zhou Yang was about to go forward as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, but he didn't want the official to ride his horse again to block his war horse, and asked with a gloomy face, "Lord Quhou, do you want to betray the commander's order?!" โ€

Hearing this, Zhou Yang's face was cold, his expression became even colder, and he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "If Zhou disobeys the handsome order and goes over to kill that white horse in an instant, how will you stay?" โ€

I saw that the official's face changed, and he said with a smile, "Celebrate the achievements of Lord Quhou!" โ€

"......" Zhou Yang's face was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't react.

And at this very moment. Seeing that the official's tone changed, he said in a low voice, "But if Lord Quhou's rashness ruins Lu Shuai's plan." As a result, the white cavalry calmly escaped, I believe that even if Lu Shuai is lenient and does not deal with it, Lord Quhou is probably sorry for the many soldiers of the infantry battalion who sacrificed their lives, right? โ€ฆโ€ฆ Just because of Lord Quhou's thoughts, he told the thief to escape! โ€

"......" Zhou Yang opened his mouth, but he was speechless.

Seeing this, the officer rode the war horse under his crotch and approached Zhou Yang, clasped his fists and whispered. "Please don't be impatient, Lord Quhou, you need to know that killing ordinary pawns is insignificant. Lu Shuai, I hope ...... Get rid of the 'First Evil'! โ€

"First evil ......" Zhou Yang subconsciously looked at Zhang Huang who was the leader in the distance, frowned and thought for a moment, and the expression full of anger on his face gradually eased. Lu Gong is hopeful...... Get rid of that 'Zhang Baiqi'? โ€

"Exactly!" The officer stepped forward. Ear told Zhou Yang about Lu Zhi's arrangements for the Tun Cavalry Camp and the Shooting Sound Camp. Immediately. He lowered his voice and said to Zhou Yang, "Lu Shuai hopes that Lord Zhou Yang will slow down a little and let that group of thieves go to attack Shuai's tent ......."

"Is it a plan to lure the enemy in?"

"Exactly!" Hearing this, the officer nodded, lowered his voice and said, "This thief army is still on the periphery of our army's camp at the moment, if the thieves want to retreat, our army does not have the help of the cavalry of the Changshui Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and it is difficult to eliminate the evil." Nine times out of ten, I'll get away with that white horse. But if Zhang Baiqi is put into the hinterland of our army, the shooting camp will be exhausted. If the infantry battalion cuts off its way back, this thief will surely die! โ€ฆโ€ฆ To plan a thief general who has the courage to attack our army twice with just a few men, he still needs to be cautious in handling affairs and seeking full success! โ€

"......" Zhou Yang pondered for a while after hearing this, then nodded slowly, summoned a herald, and whispered a few words to him. The idea was nothing more than to ask the officers and men of the infantry battalion under his command to secretly release water and let Zhang Huang and his party go to attack the tent of the commander of his northern army.

"Qu Hou understands righteousness!" Seeing that Zhou Yang had finally obeyed, the official rode untimely and clenched his fists and praised him.

"Humph!" Zhou Yang smiled self-deprecatingly, and immediately, as if he remembered something, he turned his head to look at the young man in front of him who was serving as the commander of the horse, and asked with interest, "Boy, what is your name?" โ€

"Hui Quhou, a person from Dunhuang County, Xialiang Prefecture, Zhang Meng!"

"Dunhuang in Liangzhou? Zhang's surname? Quhou Zhouyang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise, "You and Lord Zhang Huan in "Liangzhou Sanming" seem to be fellow villagers? Could it be General Zhang's clansman? โ€

As soon as the words fell, I saw a little pride and admiration on the official's face, and he clenched his fists and said, "Nai...... My father too! โ€

"Oh...... Belch? โ€

Not to mention that Zhou Yang was stunned on the spot by the official horse Zhang Meng's background, and said that Zhang Huang was here.

Due to the relationship between Zhou Yang, the Marquis of Ququ, who ordered the soldiers under his command to secretly release water in the infantry battalion, Zhang Huang and the nearly 400 Yellow Turban soldiers under his command finally broke through the infantry's interception and went straight to the Chinese army of the Northern Army.

The middle army of the Northern Army is the Tun Cavalry Battalion.

However, this strong team, which may be able to turn the tide of victory and defeat on the battlefield, does not work in the slightest in the current environment. No, when Zhang Huang led his men and horses to kill in, he was confronted with a "heavy cavalry" without armor, no cavalry, and no horses. This wolf bรจi's heavy cavalry guarded the stable to the death, and did not take the initiative to attack Zhang Huang and his party who killed them.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with this move for the knights of the cantonment battalion, after all, they were heavy cavalry, but in this narrow environment, they simply did not show the strength they should have. Therefore, they chose to protect their own armor, army, and war horses, rather than choosing to go out to block Zhang Huang and others, which was not wrong.

But the problem is that this place is the middle army of the Northern Army, the center of a camp, and even the commander's tent is located here. Therefore, it is difficult to imagine that an army would sit back and watch the enemy attack here, not wanting to take the initiative to stop the enemy, but only caring about protecting its own armament.

"......" inadvertently, Zhang Huang, who was originally rushing to the front, seemed to have consciously slowed down the speed of the war horse's charge, and looked uncertainly at the knights of the Tun cavalry camp who were staring at them in the distance but did not step forward to stop them.

Guo Tai next to him was a little puzzled when he saw this, and he slowed down his speed, and said to Zhang Huang eagerly, "If you go over, it will be the marshal tent of the Northern Army, why is the little heavenly master delayed here?" โ€

Zhang Huang was unmoved, still looking at the knights of the cantonment camp who behaved "weirdly". In his opinion, in such a sudden emergency. The knights of the cantonment camp should have acted by swearing to defend their tents, not by guarding their armaments, as if ...... As if they didn't care about the safety of the tent at all.

"Withdraw!" A word that made Guo Tai, Han Xian, Yang Feng and others unbelievable burst out of Zhang Huang's mouth. Stunned many of the Yellow Turban sergeants nearby.

"Why withdraw?" Lang Ping, the leader of the Yellow Turban, rushed up and said with an incomprehensible expression, "Not far in front of you is the handsome tent of the Northern Army, and great feats are at your fingertips...... The little heavenly master actually said that he wanted to withdraw?! โ€

On the side, Bian Xi and other eight generals also showed similar puzzled looks.

Originally, they did not support Zhang Huang's rash night attack on the northern army camp, but now it is clear that he is about to kill the commander of the northern army. But at this time, Zhang Huang actually said that he wanted to withdraw?

They can't understand.

Only Yan Lei, who was pretended to be by the general Zhang Liang, seemed to have already realized something, and there was no surprise or surprise in his eyes, just listening to Zhang Huang's orders very calmly.

"The Northern Army is on guard." The first words of Zhang Huang's mouth made the nearby Yellow Turban generals slightly stunned. But after a moment's stunned. More incomprehension welled up in their minds.

You know, even before that, they didn't know that Zhang Huang decided to attack the camp of the Northern Army at night, and under this premise, Zhang Huang actually said that the Northern Army would be prepared?

noticed the doubtful and even suspicious eyes of the generals under his command. Zhang Huang thought about explaining it to them. Unfortunately, this is not a good time to explain.

"Withdraw!" The repeated words burst out of Zhang Huang's mouth, and the tone was even heavier than the previous one, which could not be refuted.

Fortunately, Zhang Huang has now initially established his prestige in the Yellow Turban Army, so when he gave such an unbelievable order, the generals under his command did not dare to disobey even if they were suspicious and suspicious. A group of people immediately turned their horses' heads and returned the way they came.

This made Ma Riyan, the captain of the shooting battalion who learned of this, slightly stunned.

[Thief...... Why do you want to return for no reason? Could it be that something went wrong? ]

"It's the Chinese ......army that the thieves are passing by," Ma Riyan asked, looking back at the attendants beside him. Do you know the knights of the Chinese army's cantonment camp, what did they do to alarm the thieves? โ€

The attendants looked at each other and replied suspiciously, "No...... Lord Bao Hong acted quite prudently, deliberately telling his knights to act as if they had no time to deal with it, and only dressed alone to defend against the enemy, in order to force the group of thieves to the direction of the tent......"

"Nothing else?"

"This ...... Not really. One of the attendants said suspiciously, "Just order to guard the equipment...... Moreover, in order to let the thieves come, he did not give the order to take the initiative to attack......"

"Didn't give the order to take the initiative? Only the armor and horses that guard the cantonment cavalry camp? Hearing this, Ma Riyan's face changed slightly, and he immediately interrupted the attendant's words.

"Yes, yes...... Presumably, Lord Bao Hong doesn't want the armor and horses of the cavalry camp to be destroyed by thieves, you also know that the armor and horses of the knights of the cavalry camp are very expensive......

"Bang โ€”โ€”!"

Ma Riyan, the captain of the shooting sound battalion, slapped his fist heavily and said angrily, "I heard that Lord Bao Hong has heavy property, and I don't want him to lose a big one this time!" โ€ฆโ€ฆ Order, the whole army besieged! โ€

"Big ...... My lord, the thieves haven't rushed to the tent yet...... "One of the attendants said with a worried face, "Lu Shuai's general order is that when the thieves kill the tent, our army will send out to surround and kill the thieves...... At present, the thieves have not yet arrived at the tent, so I should wait patiently. โ€

"Wait?" Even a gentle and elegant Confucian like Ma Riyan showed an angry and anxious look at the moment, and reprimanded him unhappily when he heard the words, "The thief has clearly seen through the ambush set up by our army, and if our army does not move at this time, the thief will run away!" โ€ฆโ€ฆ Pass my order, and the whole army will besiege! โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Promise! โ€

"Wooโ€”โ€”! Wooโ€”โ€”! Wooโ€”โ€”! โ€

In just a moment, the Chinese army sounded the sound of the horn on behalf of the counteroffensive of the northern army's non-commissioned soldiers, and thousands of archers came out of the original ambush point under the escort of the tiger soldiers, and quickly surrounded Zhang Huang and his group of hundreds of people.

Hearing this signal, Liu Jiang, the captain of the infantry battalion, together with Captain Sima Kuanghong and the fake Sima Wei Wei, also killed from the north, west and east sides respectively.

"What's going on? Why didn't the thieves come to the ambush site? โ€

Sensing that the situation was different from what was expected, Infantry Captain Liu Jiang asked the nearby Northern Army sergeant in a puzzled manner.

"It seems that the thieves noticed the ambush of our army and prepared to evacuate, so Captain Ma Riyan ordered someone to blow the siege horn."

"......" Infantry Captain Liu Jiang opened his mouth, and pouted helplessly after half a sound.

However, fortunately for the Northern Army, Zhou Yang, the Marquis of Ququ in the infantry battalion, also brought people to come later, cutting off the back road of Zhang Huang and others. As a result, although Zhang Huang and the others were not lured to the ambush location originally arranged by Lu Zhi, they were finally surrounded by the Northern Army.

Seeing the endless soldiers of the Northern Army pouring in from all directions, Guo Tai, Han Xian, Yang Feng, Bian Xi, and Lang Ping realized that Zhang Huang's judgment was accurate: The Northern Army was really prepared!

Yan Lei, who was pretended by the general Zhang Liang, also frowned when he saw this, as if he was ready to do something secretly.

At this time, I saw Guo Tai and the others looking at Zhang Huang in unison.

"What should I do, Little Heavenly Master?"

Everyone subconsciously looked at Zhang Huang, as if Zhang Huang had become their backbone.

"......" Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, his right hand, which had already released the reins of the horse, actually grabbed the reins of the horse again, and seemed to have given up his original plan.

He just looked at Zhang Huang silently, as if he was waiting for Zhang Huang's next response. (To be continued......)
