To the south of Xuzhou, the river is vertical and horizontal, the waterway runs through, and there are hills and hills.

It is not only an easy place to escape from pursuers, but also an easy place to set up ambushes for enemy troops. Fu Gongyou, who has been growing up in Jianghuai for a long time, naturally knows this. In his eyes, there is a good chance that the Zhao army will set up an ambush in his own wandering place in the south.

Now for Fu Gongyou, there is slightly better news, that is, the rear army has broken away from contact with the Zhao army's pursuers and kept at a relatively safe distance. The Zhao army was all northerners, and they could gallop across the plains, but when they reached the hills and mountains, the speed of advance would drop a lot.

The subordinates all believed that the Jianghuai River was a natural barrier that could block the southward movement of the Zhao army's iron cavalry.

However, Fu Gongyou didn't think much about it, after the Zhao army pursued a little, he instead ordered his subordinates to be strictly vigilant, and the soldiers needed to be wound with arrows, the knives were unsheathed, and after a short rest, he ordered the soldiers to feed the war horses and hay and store horsepower. Because Fu Gongyou understands that if the Zhao army chases away, then the ambush ahead will inevitably be close.

Knowing that the big war was about to be ushered in, Fu Gongyou convened the generals to discuss, except for a few generals who led the troops outside, the generals of the Shangzhao Battalion and the Danyang Army were all gathered, and half of them were Fu Gongyou's new cronies after Du Fuwei's death, so as to maintain control over the two most effective units of the Jianghuai Army.

Fu Gongyou said: "The chasing soldiers behind have been temporarily thrown off by us, you are not in a hurry to be happy, the Zhao army attacked Xuzhou this time, about 60,000 horses, yesterday the siege of Xuzhou City at least 30,000, deducting some of the men and horses in Xiapi and Pei County. I guess the Zhao army has almost 20,000 horses, waiting for us on the road ahead. ”

Hearing Fu Gongyou say this, the generals looked left and right. At this time, a young general stood up and said.

"Father-in-law, although our army is sleepy and lacking. But there are also a lot of people and horses who have been withdrawn from Xuzhou City. If they are hard-hitting, they are not afraid. Father-in-law, you say, how are we going to fight? ”

Fu Gongyou is like Du Fuwei, and he has also received more than a dozen righteous sons, this righteous son is called Gao Xiang, who is the most capable of fighting, and is also the most courageous on weekdays, and the most rare thing is that he is optimistic in any dangerous territory, so he is deeply liked by Fu Gongyou.

Fu Gongyou smiled and said, "How else can you fight." The brave wins, the Zhao army sets up a net in front of the heavens and the earth, I don't believe in evil, he has an ambush on ten sides, I only have a rotten life, and I will win if I fight hard. ”

As a thief who has experienced a hundred battles, Fu Gongyou has never seen any kind of battle, knowing that the Zhao army is in front, he has laid a heavy ambush. But he has the courage to know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tigers.

"After killing the Zhao army, don't get entangled, go straight to the south, and enter the deep mountains and Daze is our territory."

Seven miles ahead of Fu Gongyou's Chinese army. It is a wide lake, and the blue sky is shrouded in the lake, and from time to time there are water birds fluttering their wings and flying.

Lake Ze aside. A road runs through, and the Jianghuai soldiers who have retired from Xuzhou are hurrying on the road.

The road winds like a snake into a hill. The hills are covered with dense forests and lush forests. The vegetation is dense, the lake wind blows and sets off bursts of green waves, and on both sides of the road are freshly pulled rice fields, next to which stand bellflower and reel, and the paddy fields here are the low-lying places of the lake to enclose the lake to create fields. There is farmland here, and there should be people nearby, but now it is empty, and even the farmhouse is nowhere to be seen, but this is also a normal time, and the people must have moved to the mountains long ago due to the war in Jianghuai.

Before the former generals of the Jianghuai Army arrived at Huze, they felt that the terrain was very unfavorable, why this road led to the forest very strangely, and it was not smoother to walk from the fields and depressions on the side of the forest. The former army general immediately stopped the guide and asked, "What's going on with this road, why do I look a little weird." ”

After listening to this, the guide looked at it for a while and replied: "The general's road was originally built on the edge of the field, but there is also a path leading to the mountain, and I don't remember why the road to the field was erased. I wonder if it will be filled in when the lake is enclosed. ”

The former army general said: "Nonsense, I think someone deliberately erased the avenue, deliberately built the road to the mountain, and led our army into the dense forest." ”

The former army general was immediately vigilant, ordered the soldiers to stop and rest, and sent men and horses to spy on the military situation ahead. With this order to rest, the Jianghuai soldiers, who were tired and hungry after running all night, collapsed on both sides of the road at the moment, stretched their legs at will, and even many of them sat in the muddy rice fields.

From last night to now, the Jianghuai soldiers are all tired.

Not long after the general sent his men and horses to investigate, another group of soldiers from the Jianghuai Army immediately arrived in a hurry. Their troops, apparently in a hurry, saw that the former army was resting on the edge of the ridge like a puddle of mud on the road, and immediately blocked there.

When the Jianghuai generals saw this scene, they were very unhappy at the moment, dismounted and went to the rice field, kicked up a few soldiers who were resting on the ground with the leather boots on their feet, and asked: "Who told you to rest on the edge of the field and stop advancing, don't you know that the Zhao army is still chasing after us?" ”

The soldier hurriedly said that it was the meaning of the former army general, saying that the terrain ahead was unfavorable, and it was likely that there was an ambush in the mountains and forests, and he had to send people to search the mountains and forests before he could move forward. The general looked at the terrain and immediately found the general of the former army and said: "Searching the dense forest, it is not possible to search for a moment or two, the Zhao army is behind our army, where is there an ambush ahead, if every boundary stops and investigates, it will not take long for the Zhao army behind him to catch up." ”

The former army general was not polite at all when he saw the other party's words, and he was also angry, this person was the old general of Du Fuwei of the Jianghuai Army, and he was just promoted by Fu Gongyou, and the two sides have always been at odds.

The former army general said at the moment: "To put it lightly, Fu Gong said that the Zhao army will set up an ambush on the road ahead, be cautious, and there will be no mistakes." ”

"Lao Tzu has fought all his life, I haven't seen any ambushes, what is cautious, I think it's a coward!" The man scolded disdainfully.

The soldiers on the left and right of the former army were angry and drew their swords at their waists. Although this person was furious, he was not reckless, and knew that Fu Gongyou had given a strict order, telling people in his own department not to provoke these Jianghuai army veterans for the time being.

At that moment, the former army general held back his anger and asked his subordinates not to act rashly and sneered: "Okay, I know that Your Excellency is a veteran, in that case, why don't you volunteer to serve the front army?" ”

The general said angrily: "Don't provoke me with words, when Lao Tzu was a general, you didn't know where to wear open crotch pants." ”

Speaking of this, the general ordered his subordinates: "There may be an accident for the soldiers to enter the dense forest, we will bypass this hill and walk from the low-lying rice fields on the side, but it is difficult to walk, be careful, what are you afraid of!" ”

The former army general nodded when he heard this and said, "This person is not reckless. ”

At that moment, the general led five hundred soldiers to explore the way, and these five hundred soldiers were all dressed in full body armor, or half body armor, and walked through the hills and dense forests with shields in their hands.

The soldiers walked full of paths, their eyes fixed on the dense forest beside the mountain, and they did not care at all about the mud on the shore of the lake under their feet. Five hundred soldiers passed through the rice fields, and all the rice seedlings were flattened, but from the hill there was nothing unusual.

After all the 500 soldiers were clear, the officers and men of the Jianghuai Army were relieved, and the soldiers in the rear followed the front army to detour from the dense forest and advance from the side in a low-lying area.

Just when the Jianghuai sergeant was passing through Guò, the rear fast rider came forward and said: "General, the wooden bridge behind suddenly broke, more than a dozen soldiers fell into the water, and the follow-up men and horses were blocked by the river and couldn't cross." ”

"What?" The general said angrily, "Why did you just walk at the right time, and as soon as the rear army got on the bridge, the bridge was broken?" ”

The soldier lowered his head and replied: "General, there is no guò car on this bridge, not even a war horse, so it is inexplicably broken, and I don't know the situation!" ”

When the general heard this, he smelled an aura of conspiracy, and he suddenly said, "There must be fraud in it!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden sound of a rapid bang on the hill where the road had just passed.

At this time, there were already more than 1,000 Jianghuai soldiers and soldiers here, and now there are about 1,000 soldiers walking in the muddy rice fields, one deep and one shallow, and the rows and straw shoes are wet.

After the bangzi sounded, a burst of arrows came from the forest on the hill. The Jianghuai sergeant who was marching in the rice field was caught off guard and was shot in one piece. Only an experienced veteran rolled in time, and the whole person jumped into the muddy water that was no more than half of his calf.

After the first wave of arrows, the Jianghuai soldiers and soldiers covered their chests one after another to defend against the arrows fired from the mountain.

The arrow only stopped after a rapid wave, and the dense sound of snare drums followed. Countless figures appeared in the sparse and dense forest. A battle flag with the word Song was erected high. The Jianghuai army is no stranger to this battle flag, and this general is Song Jingang, the general of the Zhao army who fought with them in Langya County before.

Song Jingang, the general of the Zhao army, was standing on the forest wearing a mountain armor at this moment, and the soldiers of the Zhao army on the left and right crossed the ridge and rushed down the mountain to kill.

Song Jingang said to Gao Tao, the beloved general beside him: "There are only 5,000 people and horses, and they are the first to ambush the Jianghuai army, and my old Song does not have such great ability, fighting the fairy war, and 5,000 can completely annihilate 20,000 horses." However, it is still possible to kill the Jianghuai army for a while and frustrate its spirit. ”

Gao Tao said: "This battle must show the prestige of our imperial guards, and we can't let the Wu Wei Army and the Yi Wei Army look down." ”

Song Jingang nodded and said, "That's right." ”

After saying that, the men and horses of the imperial guard had already rushed down the mountain and engaged the Jianghuai soldiers and horses.

At this time, Fu Gongyou was in the Chinese army, and as the soldiers rode forward, a soldier rode his horse and said: "The front army was ambushed by the Zhao army, and it should be the men and horses of Song Jingang, the general of the imperial guard!" ”

After hearing this, Fu Gongyou sneered: "Okay, Li Chongjiu really blocked me on the front road." ”

The generals said one after another: "Fugong, did you rush up to fight with the Zhao army and fight your way out of the encirclement?" ”

Hearing this, Fu Gongyou pondered for a while and said, "No! Let the horses go around, don't entangle with Zhao Jun! 1. Qiē to kill out of Xuzhou first! ”
