Following.

Wu Chu walked out of the camp, looked at the Huangzhang Valley, his mind moved, and ordered: "Order the scouts to explore another thirty miles, and the army will bury the pot and make rice, and prepare to enter the Huangzhang Valley!" ”

Immediately, more than 20 teams of scouts immediately rushed out of the camp and probed towards the Huangzhang Valley.

At the same time, Sun Wanrong of the Khitan once again got the news of the dispatch of the Great Zhou scouts, and couldn't help but scold Wu Chu for being so cautious, but then ordered the Khitan army to retreat thirty miles and hide.

In the felt tent, Sun Wanrong looked at Li Kaigu and said, "Isn't it that the prince of the Great Zhou discovered something?" ”

Li Kaigu immediately shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, the people over there in Da Zhou who want to kill the prince are not ordinary people, otherwise we wouldn't get the news at any time." ”

Sun Wanrong nodded and said, "I hope you don't let me retreat anymore, such a toss, even if my Khitan warriors are iron-clad men, they can't afford to toss." ”

Li Kaigu smiled slightly, and said: "General, this also shows the power of the prince of the Great Zhou, when the prince of the Great Zhou is removed, the Great Zhou will no longer be able to stop my Khitan people, at that time, don't say that a Hebei, that is, the flower world in the south of the Yangtze River, will be owned by my Khitan!" ”

Sun Wanrong suddenly felt a lot of pride in his chest, and the gloom of the defeat not long ago was swept away, he laughed, and then shouted: "Come on, bring my wife's mare's milk wine, and the general will drink three bowls!" ”

Great Zhou camp.

When the scout team returned to the camp one by one, the last trace of doubt of Wu Chu disappeared completely, and then ordered the army to move forward, and Wu Chu rode on his horse. Flanked by two hundred guards, and a petite soldier.

Wu Chu was just about to step into the Huangzhang Valley, when a gust of wind blew. Rolling up a sharp whirlwind, the handsome flag suddenly broke, Wu Chu was stunned, why is this bridge so familiar? But he couldn't think of it for a while, not to mention that he wasn't superstitious, but Li Xianhui showed a trace of worry.

Seeing Li Xianhui like this, Wu Chu said, "Xianhui's face is pale. But what about the feelings? ”

Li Xianhui said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the old man often said that the wind blew off the flag. It is to warn those who travel far away that the future is dangerous, and they should be cautious. ”

After listening to Li Xianhui's words, Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he didn't quote this superstitious saying in the death of Dong Zhuo in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Is this to be fulfilled in oneself?

Forthwith. He ordered, "Send me the chickens!" ”

Now Gao Sheji is in charge of the scout team, so if the scout finds something abnormal, then he will be the first to know. After a short time, the high house chicken galloped over, then rolled the saddle and dismounted, bowed down and said: "I have seen Your Highness!" ”

"Well, the scouts have explored Huangzhang Valley twice, but have they found anything suspicious?" Wu Shu stared at Gao Sheji.

The complexion of the Gaoshe chicken did not change. Said slowly: "Go back to Your Highness and probe twice." There were a lot of messy footprints found in the forest, some old and some new, and the lowly judgment should be left by the Khitan scouts. However, Dong Wuyu, the fire commander of the first squad of the scout, reported that Su Honghui's camp of the right army was not in order, and it seemed that it was a little far away from our Chinese army. The humble official once went to his camp to investigate, and what Dong Wu said was not bad, but the right sergeant said that they were slightly away from the Chinese army in order to facilitate the use of water. ”

Wu Zheng nodded, there was nothing wrong with the two investigations, and as for Su Honghui, he didn't pay attention to it, so he said: "In this case, re-establish the handsome banner and continue to move forward!" ”

Entering the valley, Wu Shu smiled and said: "The wind at the mouth of the valley is strong, and at this time, it is almost noon, the temperature rises, and there is just a small whirlwind. ”

Li Xianhui naturally knew what the "temperature" meant, so she smiled and said: "Your Highness is the truth, and the slave and maid can't say it." ”

So they marched all the way to the valley, and saw a group of ragged Khitans leading thin horses and driving skinny cattle and sheep slowly, and the army was immediately blocked in their way.

The soldier reported that Wu Chuan was stunned, and the herdsmen of the Khitan people appeared for no reason, what was going on? An ominous feeling suddenly hit his heart, and he immediately ordered: "Kill the cattle and sheep, immediately pass guò, if the Khitan people resist, they will be killed!" ”

Suddenly, there was a shout on both sides of the valley, and then shouted in the half-baked Da Zhou dialect: "Exterminate the Zhou dog and capture the prince alive!" ”

Immediately, boulders, rolling logs, torches, arrows and other objects were thrown from the cliff into the middle of the Great Zhou soldiers, and suddenly a ghost crying wolf-like screams came and went.

Wu Chu's eyes froze, and he was really ambushed, but at this moment, retreating will obviously lead to more chaos, so only by continuing to rush forward can there be a way to live, and when he rushes out of the valley, he is in the middle of the two armies on the left and right, and the Khitan can be broken overnight! Immediately, he shouted: "Order the soldiers, rush out of the valley!" ”

Then he shouted: "Generals, rush out of the valley with me!" ”

I saw that he shot away the fallen log, and then pulled Li Xianhui onto his war horse, put it in his arms, and then grabbed the spear in his hand, and then rushed forward with a clamp between his legs. After a while, he came to the front of the army, only to see those ragged Khitans pull out their long knives and slash and kill the fleeing Great Zhou soldiers. Wu Chu sighed in his heart, he was still a recruit after all, and when he encountered such a predicament, he was confused, and then, he shouted: "Soldiers, kill with me!" ”

Immediately, the spear in his hand shook, and he stabbed in an instant, and the corpses of six Khitans were thrown away, smashed into the flock, and the sheep ran wildly, but slowed down the speed of Wu Chu's sprint, he suddenly shouted angrily, and the spear was swept, and more than ten sheep were suddenly smashed away. Seeing that His Highness was so brave, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty picked up their horizontal knives again and followed closely behind.

At this time, the left and right armies of the Great Zhou were shocked by the shouts of killing in the valley and did not dare to reinforce.

The location of the Right Army.

Suddenly, a group of Khitan cavalry came violently, Su Honghui was shocked, and then shouted: "Retreat!" ”

Cheng Huanzhi, the general of the left guard, hurriedly asked: "Your Highness is trapped in the valley, and General Su is the head of the right army, why don't you save it, but withdraw instead?" ”

Su Honghui was stunned for a moment, and said sharply: "Your Highness Shenwu, you will rush out of the valley, if my right army continues to rush into the valley, won't you fall into the trap of the Khitans?" At that time, will my Great Zhou soldiers be exterminated by the Khitans again? ”

Immediately, he said sharply: "Retreat!" ”

When the right army began to retreat, the commander of the left army, Sha Zha Zhongyi, also hesitated. Therefore, Shazha Zhongyi was also deeply influenced by his father and grandfather, and he was quite a soldier. At this moment, he also understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was trapped in the valley, but the valley mouth was already blocked, and if he wanted to remove the barrier from the valley, it would be difficult to move away without a day's effort. What's more, it was difficult to ensure that the Khitans would no longer sneak attack from behind, so when Shazha Zhongyi saw the right army retreating, he sighed and retreated.

In this way, the two-phase strategy that Wu Chuan expected had come to naught, but he didn't know it yet. (To be continued......)
