And Zhang Miao, who was on the way, naturally did not expect that the complexity of the environment he faced far exceeded his expectations, first his own grain route was looted from the rear, and more importantly, he couldn't even leave a word about the corpse of the other party, and the so-called reason why he couldn't even keep the corpse was not because the other party took those away, but that these troops transporting grain and grass under Zhang Miao's command were defeated without even the slightest resistance under the impact of the other party. And the other party is obviously a veteran of this way did not think about taking away the grain and grass at all but directly set fire, and this is just the beginning, and then there are three teams of troops escorting the grain and grass in a row to encounter almost the same situation, Zhang Miao immediately realized that this is Xu Ji's arrangement, but at this time, most of the soldiers under his command are already close to Yu County, it is impossible to turn back to clear these small units that are said to be cavalry troops, and the ones left behind in Chen Liuxian cannot be moved lightly, so Zhang Miao has no better way to deal with it except for strictly ordering to strengthen defense, The only fortunate thing in misfortune is that Zhang Miao's treasure of the siege equipment is still intact, but Zhang Miao knows very well that these things are definitely the goal of this small force under Xu Ji's strange actions, and this also prompted Zhang Miao to draw a cavalry army from his own Chinese army to restrain it, but this is nothing, after all, the siege cavalry has no combat ability, so Zhang Miao simply sent his own personal guard cavalry.

Of course, the effect was very good, and the small force of unknown numbers seemed to have disappeared, but as soon as Zhang Miao recalled his personal guards, he immediately got the news that his grain route had been plundered again, and this was only the fourth day he left Chenliu County, because the continuous spring rain made the condition of the road very bad, so the army that was originally expected to reach Yu County in three days walked for four days, and it was only about to be halfway through. However, Zhang Miao had to face a problem, he might lose his own grain before the army could touch the city wall of Yuxian. It is impossible for him to maintain such protection of the grain route every day, and the other party only needs to find an opportunity to carry out surprise raids, and he has to divide some of his forces to defend. That is to say, before he arrived in Yuxian County, he was completely passive.

Because of this annoying situation, Zhang Miao simply sent his own guards and cavalry to patrol along the grain road, and this was definitely a thankless thing, but Zhang Miao had to accept such a result just for his own plan. What made Zhang Miao feel even more unacceptable was that the speed of his troops was too slow, although it was subject to the weather, this was still not a reason for how to march slowly, but Zhang Miao couldn't blame anyone for this, and this also showed one thing, Zhang Miao was in a hurry.

But things were obviously not so simple, and in the next few days, Zhang Miao was attacked by an unknown number of enemy troops, and although this small-scale small action did not cause any damage to Zhang Miao's army, it slowed down Zhang Miao's march even more. And this is also what Xu Ji arranged for Chen Zhi to do, Xu Ji needs enough time for him to build a camp outside the city, and it takes time for Gao Shun to find enough favorable terrain and location, and Chen Zhi has done it very well, even far beyond Xu Ji's expectations. And this is good news for Xu Ji, but it is obviously too bad news for Zhang Miao to suffer anymore, the longer the time drags on, the greater the pressure on Zhang Miao's grain and grass, he fought no less than Xu Ji in North Chenliu before this battle, and this season is the end of spring ploughing, and the grain and grass reserves in Chenliu County obviously can't withstand such consumption. More importantly, Zhang Miao's grain and grass transported from Chenliu County may not all be safely sent to the army.

Before seeing the shadow of Yuxian, Zhang Miao already realized that the result of his battle was not optimistic. Although he didn't know Xu Ji, he also knew very well that Xu Ji's means of arranging this series of arrangements were just like this, so there was no need to think about it anymore, Zhang Miao could already predict what he would see.

In fact, when Zhang Miao approached the scope of Yu County, Chen Zhi had already led his troops to retreat, and Chen Zhi's goal this time was very simple. It's the siege equipment that was heavily guarded. For Chen Zhi, this is almost the last vote, and he will lead his troops back after getting rid of this group of guys, so this is bound to be a beautiful operation that he must do.

On the official road leading to Yu County, a troop of about 500 people was marching. They walked slowly, and they were in charge of escorting a fleet of covered equipment. The leader was a middle-aged man who looked a little gloomy. And there was a rather bloated fat man next to him.

"Captain Liu, it's really hard for you. The guards who were the guards also came to escort these things. The fat man's face was flattering, and the gloomy middle-aged man known as Captain Liu turned his head to look at the fat man and replied lightly: "Do what you have to do, if there is a person in this batch of weapons, you and I will inevitably fall to the ground." ”

The fat man also looked panicked after hearing this, and then said with a forced smile: "What else can happen if there are adults here?" And all he got was a middle-aged sneer.

At this time, they didn't notice that today seemed to be extraordinarily quiet, and the sound of the rain seemed to be mixed with other sounds, Captain Liu seemed to be aware of the rear of the troops, he vaguely felt as if someone was staring at him, it felt like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, he looked back at the fat man and asked, "Do you have any strange feelings?" ”

The fat man smiled as if to answer, but a whistling arrow made him speechless forever, and Captain Liu's face immediately changed and shouted: "Be careful, the enemy is attacking!" "But it was too late, and with the arrival of that sharp arrow was the sound of horses' hooves surging like a torrent, and he was a veteran, and it was easy to judge that it was a cavalry of at least three hundred or so!

The most terrifying thing is that the other party is cavalry, although as Zhang Miao's personal guard, he is also a cavalry, but he only has a hundred cavalry, and the rest are the people who are responsible for escorting and a small number of villagers. While he was still thinking about how to deal with it, the enemy had already arrived, this was a well-trained army, and he could tell at a glance that the other party was still in a fairly complete formation during the march, and they were in the most suitable sharp array to cut through, and the guy who acted as the arrow was pointing at himself.

It's not the first time Captain Liu has been on the battlefield. He is a veteran who has conquered the Yellow Turban and quelled the chaos, and he knows very well the combat effectiveness of this kind of cavalry that is already in a galloping state. And the opponent's posture is obviously not ready to fight with him, coming and going like the wind. Bloodthirsty as a wolf, this is his evaluation of the cavalry in front of him. Almost in a few breaths, they had already crashed into the team escorting the ordnance, and these people and Xiangyong were obviously not opponents at all, the other horseman had completed the first chiseling without even slowing down, and the other party just turned around and prepared to chisel through again.

It was only at this time that Captain Liu reacted, it was too late to ask for help at this time, and the only thing he could do was to see if the 100 guards cavalry under his command could slow down the other party's speed a little, yes. He didn't think that he could defeat the other party at all, and he didn't even have the idea of stopping, the opponent surpassed his group in terms of the number of cavalry and the quality of the soldiers, and more importantly, he was on the defensive, but the opponent occupied the first hand of the attack, and the opponent could choose to continue the attack or withdraw at any time, but he had no ability to stop it at all.

Needless to say, this cavalry was Chen Zhi, and Chen Zhi had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and it was only after Zhang Miao transferred most of the guards and cavalry to guard the grain road that Chen Zhi revealed his true purpose. And this opportunity can almost be said to be the only one, Zhang Miao can tolerate his grain route being attacked but it is absolutely impossible to accept Chen Zhi's easy destruction of his precious siege equipment, how can Chen Zhi take advantage of the other party's negligence to find this opportunity?

Lieutenant Liu's counterattack was quickly dispelled, and Chen Zhi easily penetrated the team escorting ordnance again with the more elite of his soldiers and his own force. And Captain Liu paid the price of being shot twice, which already made him feel lucky, he knew very well that if the white-robed young general on the opposite side really wanted to take his own life, it would just take a little more time. As soon as they fought, Captain Liu already clearly felt that the opponent's strength was far stronger than his own, and the opponent did not kill him purely in order not to destroy the formation of the entire team.

And saw the other party turn around again. Captain Liu was already desperate, and in just ten breaths, the other party had already completed two complete chiselings. And the other party didn't even pay the price of any of the wounded, and the difference in strength seemed to be a little too big. But he couldn't escape, once these weapons were looted or destroyed, he would inevitably die and apologize for his crimes, it would be better to fight, although he also knew that it was just a struggle.

The result soon became clear, after suffering two not light injuries, Chen Zhi easily shot Lieutenant Liu to death, and the rout of Zhang Miao's personal guard cavalry was a matter of course, and the things after that naturally did not need to be said, this batch of equipment was quickly destroyed, although Chen Zhi was not able to burn it because of the spring rain, but they were destroyed, and then they were gone. Zhang Miao was furious after getting the news, he was very careful about these ordnance but he was not able to keep it after all, and his loss was not only this batch of expensive ordnance, his own personal guard cavalry also lost two percent, and the anti-against still maintained a record of no loss, which is the most unacceptable thing for Zhang Miao.

But for a while, Zhang Miao couldn't take care of these things, because he himself was facing another trouble.

Because the first troops set off two days ahead of the Chinese army, they had arrived less than forty miles away from Yu County at this time, but they had to stop, and Zhang Miao quickly learned the reason, a big village was in front of the first troops, and what was worse and worse was that Zhang Miao's department seemed to be unable to cross this obstacle, and the only way was to force it through, Zhang Miao immediately realized that Xu Ji destroyed his siege equipment, he wanted to force himself to constantly exchange the lives of his soldiers for his advancement, And Zhang Miao, who lost those instruments, only had one choice.

Of course, this is a fantasy for the Xiandeng troops, a total of less than 1,000 Xiandeng is obviously impossible to forcibly take this supposedly strong camp, although Zhang Miao has not seen this camp with his own eyes, but with his understanding of Xu Ji, I am afraid this will only be more troublesome than the news says. The ominous premonition is getting stronger and stronger, but Zhang Miao is still helpless about Xu Ji's approach, although his grain road seems to have been safe in the past two days, but Zhang Miao still does not dare to recall his personal guards, he is not clear about Chen Dao's movements, so he must be careful, and in the face of this camp on his road to Yuxian, Zhang Miao is also at a loss. And he could only order the troops to camp first, waiting for the arrival of the Chinese army, and making plans.

It's just that these are Zhang Miao's plans, but Xu Ji will not give him the power to do it step by step. Just when Xu Ji's scouts detected that Zhang Miao's vanguard was already in front of him, he immediately ordered Le Jin to lead his troops to attack, just when the vanguard troops sent back the first news. Le Jin has led his troops to kill in front of Zhang Miao's vanguard troops, and these vanguard troops were originally exhausted and rushed for a long time, at this moment they were ready to rest and wait for Zhang Miao's order, completely unprepared to engage in battle, and Le Jin has never been a reasonable person, taking advantage of the other party's foothold is not stable and exhausted, he waved his army to cover up for a while and immediately retreated into the camp, and Zhang Miao's vanguard troops had to retreat ten miles back to prevent Le Jin's another raid.

Just when Zhang Miao got the first message, the second one also arrived at Zhang Miao's Chinese army: the vanguard army was defeated and had no choice but to retreat ten miles to standby. This news is another huge blow to Zhang Miao, what does it mean. It means that Xu Ji has already made all the preparations, and now he has no other way than to forcibly attack, and what is worse is that the Chinese army has not arrived at the battlefield and its own losses have passed three percent, which also includes his own losses when protecting the grain road, which has completely exceeded Zhang Miao's expectations, although he has not yet engaged head-on, but this slight contact of the first battle has made Zhang Miao see Xu Ji's strength.

And the bigger problem is that Zhang Miao no longer has any reinforcements, and he has all the mobile troops that can be transferred to Yuxian, and he has no way of knowing how many of Xu Ji's family backgrounds have not been shown. This made Zhang Miao very worried about the development of the battle situation, Xu Ji could never have only these strengths, Zhang Miao was very sure, from Xu Ji's past experience, Xu Ji has never been a person who will do his best, so Zhang Miao must understand how much strength Xu Ji is taking out now. And this also affects his plan for future actions.

As Zhang Miao himself approached Yuxian, he also began to feel a little uneasy. Although everything is normal, it is precisely this over-calm that exudes an even more eerie atmosphere. The Chinese army did not move fast because it had to take care of the squad transporting grain and grass in the rear, but Zhang Miao was already in a hurry. It is becoming more and more difficult to say how Yuxian will win or lose in this way, and even from the current situation, Zhang Miao has changed from an advantage to a balance of power with Xu Ji. And if this dragged on like this, Zhang Miao was very sure that he would soon fall into a disadvantage. Xu Ji will inevitably continue to harass his grain road, and the battalion outside Yuxian County will not be able to attack Yuxian County for a day if he does not break through himself. And even if he broke the large camp outside the city, his own losses would not be small, and it was really difficult to say whether he would have the strength to attack Yuxian after that.

With these worries, Zhang Miao made a decision again, the Chinese army began to speed up, as for the men and horses transporting grain and grass in the rear, he couldn't control it anymore, and now the most important thing is to find out Xu Ji's strength, and everything else is just a secondary thing.

The setbacks and failures of the Xiandeng troops had already made Zhang Miao's whole body nervous, and Xu Ji's daring to fight with him outside the city so arrogantly obviously represented his confidence in his own strength, and even said that Xu Ji might have hidden his backhand. Although he still doesn't know what the arrangement of Xu Jiliu's hand is, Zhang Miao has no choice, and now he can't lead his troops back to Chenliu County, and the losses he suffered can't be so unclear that Xu Ji should be taken advantage of, he must test Xu Ji's depth.

And Zhang Miao knows very well that he can't solve Xu Ji in this battle, so he is afraid that Chen Liujun's right to speak will be replaced, and from Xu Ji's consistent approach, the next move of this young superintendent is to solve himself, and Zhang Miao is not stupid, he also knows very well what he has handles, and these may be Xu Ji's handles to himself, so he has no choice, this feud has been settled, I'm afraid it is already endless, Zhang Miao has no habit of making wedding dresses for people, He was not noble enough to voluntarily become the ladder for Xu Ji to climb up.

Although the result of the first battle was somewhat unexpected by Zhang Miao, the confidence in his own strength made Zhang Miao unconsciously ignore something. For example, why hasn't you caught a scout yet? Zhang Miao was obviously unaware of this question, but he didn't know that he had been exposed to the attack range of another beast at this time. And this beast is much more ferocious than the previous Chen Zhi.

And Xu Ji also got the news that Zhang Miao's Chinese army had arrived in Yuxian at this time, and at the same time, he also gave the order, and Gao Shun, who had been hiding for a long time, also showed his sharp fangs, and this time he had to do something that sounded much crazier than anything before.

This time, Gao Shun challenged the entire Chinese army of more than 2,000 people, and he still had 800 people under his command.

But Gao Shun still has the belief that he will win, and the victory or defeat of this battle determines the belonging of Chen Liu, and both sides cannot afford to lose! (To be continued......)
