(The alliance is fierce, thank you!!) ）

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a small village abandoned by a military accident twenty miles away from the Jieqiao camp, and at this time it has been surrounded by nearly a thousand Youzhou Army and Black Mountain Army cavalry and infantry regiments. In the center of the encirclement is a row of earthen houses built against the hill and connected together.

Most of the houses in this small village have been destroyed, and no one knows who is in the earthen house, but there are three layers of armored soldiers in the courtyard outside the house, numbering no less than two hundred, including dozens of cavalry. Judging from the number of corpses that fell to the ground, the initial number of centaurs was no less than three hundred.

The 300 stubborn Jizhou cavalry infantry army is already quite high-end equipment for the Jizhou army, which has fewer protective gear and war horses. So, who are the people they are trying to protect?

This answer, Du Chang, the temporary commander of the Youzhou Army and the leader of the Montenegrin Army, also wants to know, and now he can only guess who it is the senior general of the Jizhou Army? Jizhou is engaged in high-level cadres? General Fenwei Chun Yuqiong? Or is it General Fenwu's frustration? Or something important. But no matter who it was, Du Chang was determined to see it with his own eyes - let his subordinates tie it up in front of him, and the answer would naturally be revealed.

Under Du Chang's strict military orders, nearly 1,000 Youzhou and Montenegrin armies took turns to launch round after round of attacks.

First of all, nearly 100 cavalry of the Youzhou Army crossed in front of the village in waves, and fired arrows at various earthen houses. Seeing that bows and arrows were not much of a threat to the people in the house, they sent a knight in armor around the house from the left and right wings. These armored knights did not release their arrows, they clamped their horses in the belly of their feet, waved long ropes with their hands, and with the acceleration of their horses, they threw the ropes in their hands one after another, and put the ropes around the rafters of the earthen houses on both sides, the fence in front of the courtyard and other protrusions. Then the end of the rope was fastened to the saddle, and the horse galloped back, the rope was straightened, booming, and the mud and dust were stirred, and the two earthen houses on the outside were pulled to pieces.

Not far away were more than 100 archers from the Youzhou Army and the Black Mountain Army lined up in two phalanxes, and they took advantage of the moment when the house collapsed and the people inside were exposed, and they fired arrows together. The sound of strings flapping came one after another, and arrows flew like rain from all directions. The Jizhou soldiers raised their shields to resist, and the arrows either shot at the shield, or penetrated through the gap between the shields, provoking a puff of blood mist and screams; Or hit the broken earth wall, the dust shoots out, and the sound is continuous.

At this time, the earthen houses that were originally connected in a row collapsed due to the collapse of the houses on both sides, and only the middle earthen houses remained, standing alone in the ruins.

After the Youzhou cavalry archers fired more than a dozen rounds, dozens of Jizhou armor soldiers fell. At this time, the strength of the archers' arms was gradually exhausted, and the feather arrows became sparse, but Du Chang's hands were connected with the archers with no vitality, causing the rhythm of the attack to be interrupted.

At this time, the Jizhou army counterattacked.

First, more than 20 crossbowmen rushed out of the earthen house, and a burst of arrows shot the Youzhou cavalry who were about to collapse the earthen house with a lasso. Subsequently, a general in black armor jumped out of the earthen house, holding a long lance, as soon as he appeared, he was like a tiger out of the sheng, and crashed headlong into the retreating Youzhou army and the black mountain army archery formation, which instantly stirred up a bloody storm.

"It's Gao Lan, the fierce general of the Jizhou Army!"

Du Chang, who was commanding and watching the battle on the hillside, was pleasantly surprised, and was surprised that he did not expect that after more than ten rounds of shooting, he would actually be counterattacked by the enemy; The joy is that Gao Ran is a fierce general registered in the Jizhou army, no matter who else is in the house, just take this person's life, it is a great achievement.

Under Du Chang's order, the Youzhou army and the Black Mountain army swarmed up and launched a strong attack. And the Jizhou armor soldier was also inspired by the second general, stepping on the bones of his comrades, waving his sword and spear to meet the enemy.

Two torrents, one large and one small, collided, stirring up a bloody mist in the sky. A small nameless mountain village turned into a Shura field in an instant.

When Ma Han and his scout team arrived, they saw such a bloody killing scene.

Ma Han noticed at a glance that the center of the entire battlefield was the abandoned village mud house.

Who's in it? Ma Han was immediately attracted by this question. He believed that all the soldiers of the Youzhou Army wanted to know this answer right now, and it was also his duty as a scout to dig out this answer.

Ma Han's eyes wandered, and a verdant hill rising from the ground and about 20 feet high on the earthen house caught his attention. The mountain is not high, but it stands almost vertically, and it is covered with weeds and moss, which is impossible to climb, which is also the reason why the Youzhou army can only attack on three sides and cannot be encircled. But for Maham, all the impossible will become possible.

The idea was set, Ma Han dismounted with stirrups, gave an explanation to his deputy, took off his helmet, removed his leather armor, put on his sword and bow, picked up a bag of arrows, and ran quickly towards the hill.

Ma Han has a wealth of experience in rock climbing, but such a nearly vertical mountain, if you don't use climbing tools, even if you are a spider man, there is a danger of falling off the cliff. Of course, Ma Han has climbing tools, and his tools are iron hands!

After climbing to the top of the hill from a relatively gentle place behind the side, you will be faced with an almost straight cliff. Ma Han clasped the cliff with the five fingers of his left hand, and slowly leaned out of his body, and slowly sank when his whole body moved out of the cliff. Looking up from below, I saw that he was hanging his entire body with only one hand. The first step is not difficult, as long as the arm strength is enough and the courage is enough, it is not difficult to do, the real difficulty is the next step, to find a support point or a foothold.

The normal point of support is the gap between the rocks, but not every gap can reach into the finger or withstand the weight of the tip of the leg. The most terrible thing is that when you climb halfway, you can't find any stone crevices, and you can't go up to the sky and down to the ground...... So climbing such a cliff with bare hands is almost no different from looking for death.

But Ma Han has his own means, but seeing that the four fingers of his right hand are close together like a shovel, poking down violently, the stone chips are flying, and the first knuckle of the four fingers is embedded in the stone wall - it is not difficult to easily cut the steel bar into two special alloy nails and make holes in the rock.

With this super mountaineering "rivet", Ma Han slid down the cliff step by step with his hands alternating in an almost impossible posture. Due to the north-west location he chose, which was not the main battlefield, and was covered by foliage, no one found him except his scout team. And the defending Jizhou Army never expected that behind the army, the backyard of the earth house had quietly infiltrated the uninvited guests.

At this time, the village mud houses had no windows, and Ma Han wanted to explore the situation inside the house, so he had to go up to the roof and peel off the thatch to peep. However, the houses on both sides of the earthen house collapsed before, the sloping beams collapsed the corner of the earthen house, and the earthen wall on the southwest side was half damaged.

Ma Han sneaked into the backyard, and when he saw a snow-white, tall and divine horse tied to the wooden stake in the courtyard. Ma Han recognized at a glance that this was not the Youyan horse (that is, the predecessor of the Mongolian horse) commonly found in the Youzhou military camp, but the horse of the Western Regions.

Whether it was Gongsun Zhan's Youzhou Army or Yuan Shao's Jizhou Army, the war horses they used, except for some elite horses such as the white horse Yicong rode tall Bingzhou horses and Liangzhou horses, the rest were all horse breeds from the Mobei grassland. This ** has good endurance, stamina, and strong adaptability, but the horse is short, the limbs are strong and short, and the sprint and speed are not as good as the Western Regions horse.

And the tall horse in front of him with a well-proportioned body, smooth fur, slender limbs, broad chest muscles, and a head taller than ordinary war horses, with obvious characteristics of the Western Regions horse breed - this can't be the legendary Dawan horse, right?

Naturally, such a horse could not be ridden by an idle person, as can be seen from the silver-encrusted brittle and the delicate gold-trimmed rhino leather saddle. Not to mention, there is also a groom on the side who carefully feeds the refined bean feed.

Good horse! Ma Han's eyes lit up, and he quietly touched it, cut a hand knife on the back of the horseman's neck, took the bean material in the horseman's hand, and gently stroked the white mane of the white horse while continuing to feed. Ma Han showed the level of horse training back then, and after a while, he eliminated the hostility of the white horse and initially established trust.

"Wait and I'll take you away in a moment." The horse stroked the horse's forehead, and then he noticed that the horse's whole body was snow-white, except for the forehead covered with a lock of silver-gray mane, which looked very special.

"Hey, Silver Arrow, you call it Silver Arrow." Almost instantly, Ma Han thought of the name of the horse.

The horseman, who had given a good name for the predetermined mount, walked briskly to the ruin, and swept his probe to see the situation inside the house.

But in addition to the four shield-wielding warriors guarding the side of the door and carrying swords with tense faces, there were only three characters dressed differently.

The two stood on the left and right, one dressed as a scribe and the other as a military general. In the middle, a person kneels on a thick felt mat, and in front of him is a short case with a map spread on it. Obviously, the one who knelt down was the leader of all the soldiers in the room, including outside.

Ma Han peeped at the back of his side, only to see that this person was dressed in gold-painted armor, with a first-class Su-gilt gold helmet next to the case, a beautifully decorated sword hanging from his waist, and a purple man. In this dangerous situation, it is unhurried, and it has the potential of a deep pavilion.

Who is such an aura character?

At this moment, there was a rush of hooves outside the courtyard. Ma Hao raised his head violently, and saw a group of Youzhou cavalry galloping past outside the courtyard, the sound of strings was deafening, and the arrows were like rain, shooting more than 20 crossbowmen in front of the earthen house on their backs.

Hey! This is the scout team he led! When was it also taken by Du Chang?

Several tributary arrows shot into the house from the broken ruins, and with a popping sound, they were nailed to the earthen wall, and the mud and dust fell in a puff and fell on the shoulder armor of the golden armor general.

At this time, the scribe standing aside, frightened, regardless of the dignity of the upper and lower levels, stepped forward to grab the golden armor general, and wanted to pull him to the ruins of the backyard to hide. The gold-armored general pressed his knees still, his face was pale, and he grabbed the gilded hood and slammed it on the ground: "The eldest husband is currently fighting to the death, and he is fleeing the evil among the walls?" ”

After that, he drew his sword out of the sheath, pointed out of the house, and shouted: "Gentlemen, follow me Yuan Shao to fight and attack the Youzhou army together!" ”

Yuan Shao! This person turned out to be Yuan Shao!

Ma Han's head buzzed, his eyes lit up, it was really lucky, and the mountains couldn't stop it!

PS: Yuan Shao was in distress at the boundary bridge and was surrounded by Gongsun Zhan's army, which is indeed a historical fact. The sonorous oath is also from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty.
