Zu Zhao and Su De both led an army of more than 10,000 people and the pioneer Ma Yuan to join forces outside the county, knowing that the city of Wangping County was fortified, and the grain and grass inside were abundant, and the guard general Zhao Meng was a fierce general, if he wanted to attack, it was not easy. Zu Zhao and Su De finally decided that they must outwit it, and they must induce Zhao Meng, the defender inside, not to fight a tough battle with him.

After some stratagem, Zhao Qi took the lead and led more than 1,000 light cavalry to fight, which was bound to induce Zhao Meng to come out. Let's say that there is a warrior in Zhao Meng's army, named Han Ye, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with infinite strength, so that the double group of flower axes weighs one hundred and twenty catties. Zhao Meng agreed, and allowed him to go out to battle with a thousand soldiers and horses.

When Han Ye heard this, he laughed and said, "I only need five hundred cavalry, and I will definitely be able to catch that rebel general, why bother with a thousand, general, do you not trust me or don't believe in his Zhao Qi's ability?" I've fought him on the ice many times before, and I know that although he has some ability, it's still a little difficult to beat me. ”

Zhao Meng shook his head and said, "I believe in your ability." But don't underestimate the person who is looking for Qi, although he usually doesn't like to be competitive, but his gun is really good, you don't want to underestimate the enemy. ”

Han Ye smiled and said: "General, it's not that I want to underestimate the enemy, but that Zhao Qi can't take me for ten rounds at all, if the general doesn't believe it, I am willing to make a military order, if I can't capture the rebel alive and come back, I am willing to be dealt with by military law." ”

Zhao Mengdao: "The military order will be exempted first." I believe that you can defeat Zhao Qi, but the military advisor in the enemy camp is Su De, the first strategist under the command of Zhang Liang of the former Yellow Turban Rebel Army. Moreover, when Na Zuzhao fought against the Yellow Turban Rebels, he also showed courage and strategy, and he should not despise them. ”

Han also said disdainfully: "General, why do you want others to destroy your own prestige." The last general will bring 500 cavalry to meet the station, and if he can't win, then he will raise his head to see the general. "After speaking, bow down, press the sword out, transfer the five hundred elite cavalry of the headquarters, open the city gate, and kill it."

Zhao Meng shook his head and sighed, picked up his knife and went to the city to watch the battle. Let's say that Zhao Qi has been fighting outside the city gate, and he is always persuading the soldiers inside to open the door and surrender, so as not to leave the people behind, then Zhao Ci is not a person worth following. The hearts of the people who say it are shaken, and there are many whispered discussants.

At this moment, the city gate was wide open, and the first person came over with a double hammer, followed by five hundred elite cavalry, all of them were full of energy and spirit. As the first general, it was naturally Han Ye, he rushed to Zhao Qi's front of the formation, and scolded: "Shameless Xiaoer, since you have voted for the enemy and don't go to live your good life, you still dare to come here to disturb the hearts of our army, see that I don't catch you back today, I will pick you up and cramp, and give you a good beating." ”

Zhao Qi saw that it was Han Ye, and knew that this person was brave, especially the double hammer in his hand, he could easily open the cracking stone, if he was hit by a hammer, then he would not want to live. However, he was not afraid, but laughed and said: "Han Ye, you also participated in their uprising with me, you and I were both suffering people before, but what they did after the uprising, you also looked at the eyes, if you continue to follow them, it will be aiding and abetting, why not turn back now and follow the people who really think about the people." ”

Han Ye said angrily: "You think that I will be like you, I lost the battle, and in order to survive, I surrendered to the enemy. I'm going to take you back today and show you how I defeated the enemy. With that, he rushed over with his hammer in hand.

When Zhao Qi saw it, he rode his horse and whipped, held up his spear, and rushed over. The two fought each other one by one, and then each turned his horse's head and continued to fight. That Han Ye's strength is infinite, and the double hammer in his hand is fogged by him like a flower branch, and although Zhao Qi's strength is not as strong as Han Ye, his hand is much more flexible than that, every time Han Ye attacks hard, Zhao Qi does not collide with him head-on, but avoids it from the side, but even so. When the two weapons intersected, it still shook his arm a little numb and sore.

After forty or fifty rounds, the two were evenly matched. Seeing that both armies were shocked, they kept shouting loudly and cheering for their main general. The two fought for dozens of rounds, and due to the lack of horses, they each returned to the camp to change their horses, and continued to fight with vigor.

Zu Zhao watched the two of them fight from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, he couldn't imagine that there was such a fierce general in the enemy camp, the person who fought with Zhao Qi, that strength was only not less than Ma Yuan, he didn't bring any generals with extraordinary ability on this trip, if he encountered a few more such powerful opponents, this battle would be even more difficult to fight.

"Strategist, do you think the two of them have a better chance of winning?" Zu Zhao asked.

Su De looked at it carefully and said: "General, please look, the enemy's general is infinitely powerful, and the double hammer in his hand adds up to no less than two hundred catties, but when he wields it, he has nothing to do, and he doesn't look like an ordinary country warrior." Looking at Zhao Qi again, although his strength cannot be compared, he knows how to avoid the important and light, calm and calm, and he can control every move freely, and he doesn't seem to have any flaws. If the two continue to fight like this, I am afraid that they will not be able to tell the winner for a while. ”

At this moment, I saw Han Ye screaming, and the sledgehammer in his right hand smashed towards Zhao Qi's chest. Zhao Qi picked the tip of the gun, and a straight line stabbed out, right in Han Ye's arm, Han Ye was picked up by the gun like this, his hand was painful, and he felt that his arm was numb, and the sledgehammer in his hand fell to the ground.

At the same time, he grabbed Zhao Qi's gun, and smashed the sledgehammer in his left hand into Zhao Qi's head. When Zhao Qi saw it, his face was surprised, and he hurriedly held the gun with both hands and raised the gun to resist, but Han Ye's strength was amazing, and he directly interrupted the gun with a hammer, and the sledgehammer went down and was about to smash on Zhao Qi's front door.

But Zhao Qi reacted quickly, kicked his feet, flew up, and left the saddle. As soon as he left, the sledgehammer smashed on the horse's back, and the poor horse let out a long howl and fell to the ground, with blood slowly flowing from his mouth, nose, ears and eyes.

Zhao Qi flew away from the horse, took a few steps back with the broken gun. When Han Ye saw that Zhao Qi had no war horse, he was overjoyed, threw the spear at Zhao Qi, and shouted loudly: "Traitor Zhao Qi, suffer death." As he spoke, he brandished a single hammer and rushed towards Zhao Qi.

When Zu Zhaojun saw this, he was all eaten by a memorial hall, and he thought that now he had no war horses and no weapons, he couldn't resist it, and it was impossible to withdraw, so he must be dead. At this moment, a person suddenly rushed out of Zu Zhao's camp, wielding a giant axe, and shouted: "Hugh has injured my people. Youzhou Ma Pingyi is here, I will fight you to the death. Before the words fell, he had already rushed to the front of the formation, holding an axe, and stopped Han Ye's fatal hammer.

It was Ma Yuan who rushed out to save Zhao Qi. Seeing that Zhao Qi's war horse was killed, he immediately rushed out, just in time to save Zhao Qi. After receiving Han Ye's attack, he leaned over and grabbed Zhao Qi, pulled him onto his horse, pointed at Han Ye with an axe and said, "You only have half a weapon in hand now, and your mount is tired, I won't fight you, wait until you prepare your mount, pick up the weapon, and then come and fight me to the death." ”

Han Ye listened to this person's loud and deafening speech, like thunder in the sky, and then looked at the giant axe in his hand, it was no less than a hundred catties, and he knew that this person was also a man of great strength. I used to have lost some strength with Zhao Qi glue powder, and now the mount is indeed sleepy, if I fight with the person in front of me, I am afraid that it will not be able to take advantage of the slightest advantage.

"Who are you?" Han Ye asked, holding the reins.

"You remember it for me, my name is Ma Pingyi, if I fight you today, I won't be able to win, because you have lost your strength before. You go back to the city first, recuperate, and then fight against me tomorrow, don't you dare? Ma Yuan said loudly.

Han Ye looked up to the sky and smiled, and said, "If I want to kill you, why wait until tomorrow, when I go back and change the war horse, I will arrest your boss Zu Zhao today." ”

Ma Yuan heard this guy call Zu Zhao by his name, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and scolded: "If you speak wildly, you really don't know whether you live or die, then you go and change the war horse and come out to fight me to the death." ”

Han Ye screamed, turned the horse's head, leaned over to pick up the hammer on the ground, clamped his legs, and returned to the camp. He was not convinced, and he was bound to defeat Nama Pingyi. Ma Yuan took Zhao Qi back to the formation, comforted a few words, and really wanted to ride out of the horse, but unexpectedly there was a clarion call for withdrawal from behind, and in desperation, he had to retreat slowly with the army.

That Han Ye changed his war horse, and when he was about to attack, he suddenly heard the sound of his retreating drum, sighed fiercely in his mouth, smashed the double hammer into his breath, and said fiercely: "I will take your life tomorrow, see if your axe is strong or my double hammer is better." After saying that, he also returned to the city with the army.

Ma Yuan took Zhao Qi back to the camp, Zhao Qi knelt down on his knees, and said with a smile: "General, I failed to fight the enemy, which damaged the morale of our army, and I also asked the military law to deal with it to calm the hearts of the army." ”

Zu Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "The two armies are fighting, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, this is not a big deal." Today you bravely fight that strong man, very much to inspire our army, although in the end defeated, but not necessarily you are defeated, and you are defeated today, it is also part of our plan, not only are you not guilty, but also merit? ”

"What, and the credit? How dare a defeated general? Zhao Qi said in a panic.

Zu Zhao said: "I said that meritorious service is meritorious service, but this merit cannot reward you now, and when the enemy army is broken, when our class teacher returns to the dynasty, we will naturally reward your merit." ”

Although Zhao Qi was puzzled in his heart, he knew that Zu Zhao did not mean to mock himself, but to praise him sincerely. After thanking him for a while, he waited aside. Ma Yuan asked puzzled at this moment, he was about to fight the enemy, why did he retreat?

Zu Zhao said: "I know that you are brave, if you fight him, you will naturally win, but this will ruin our plan, so we must let you come back." Now, we must tell you our plans, and it is really out of desperation to send you into battle today, and not to tell you our plans first. After Zu Zhao finished speaking, he told Zhao Qi, Ma Yuan and others about their plan. When they heard it, they all praised this plan for being wonderful, the day of breaking the enemy was really just around the corner, and Zhao Qi even agreed, according to his understanding of Zhao Meng, he would definitely fall for it.

The words were divided into two ends, and said that when Han also heard the order to withdraw the army, he felt aggrieved, and when he saw Zhao Meng, he was unwilling and asked: "General, I was about to arrest the enemy general, why did you Mingjin withdraw the troops?" ”

Zhao Meng said: "You have been fighting for hundreds of rounds, and now the enemy has changed generals, if you continue to fight, I am afraid that you will fall into the enemy's strategy, that is, there is no strategy, I am afraid that you will be physically exhausted and taken advantage of by the enemy." You're going to fight him, and you're going to play again tomorrow. ”

When Han Ye heard this, although he was not convinced, he knew that this was Zhao Meng's concern for him, and he was still grateful in his heart, and after some conversation, he suggested that he go to attack the enemy camp at night. But it was rejected by Zhao Meng, and now the number of enemies is not specific, so he rushed forward, just afraid that they would wait for the rabbit urn to catch turtles, so it is better to hold on, don't attack rashly, wait for a few days of confrontation, find out their reality, and then you can go out of the city to attack them with all your might.

The armies of both sides rested and recuperated until the next day, and the decisive battle continued. Zu Zhaojun did not rashly attack the city, and Zhao Mengjun did not dare to rashly go out of the city to meet the enemy. At dawn the next day, the smoke of the war filled the sky over the entire Wangping County.
