Wei Yan smiled and said, "I heard that there are still 3,000 Wei troops guarding Yique Pass, so if you send someone who can attack and defend well, you should choose it yourself!"

Liu Changsheng frowned slightly, pondered, and said, "Yique Pass is at the junction of Huanshui and Kunshan, presumably the situation is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so let General Gao Xiang go!"

Xu Ling nodded and said, "General Gao Xiang's surname is stable and stable, enough to take on this position!"

Liu Changsheng stood up, slowly, and said, "Okay, pass the order, Xie Xiong and Gao Xiang, each receive 5,000 ping horses, and go to Mengjin and Yique Pass tonight, and the army will open Lishui tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Wei Yan and the others all agreed in unison, seeing that the most critical battle with the Wei army was coming, everyone's eyes lit up and they were full of anticipation.

In the autumn and October of that year, Liu Changsheng used table tennis in Hangu Pass, and 100,000 table tennis horses in Chang'an were full of momentum, taking advantage of the victory to advance eastward, with Zhang Bao as the vanguard, leading 30,000 table tennis, and going to Lishui to fight with the Wei army.

Zhang Bao led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry - 10,000, Du pre-led 5,000 Hun Cavalry Ping Pong and Ma Bu Ping, the two generals came to Lishui, only to see the Wei army set up camp along the river, at this time it is about to enter the winter, the water situation is reduced, and the threat to Yu Ping Pong is not great.

When the people arrived, Zhang Bao had already jumped on the horse with a gun, came to the stone bridge in the middle of the river, pointed to the Wei army on the other side and shouted, "Usurper thief, see that I have come to this point, and I will not come out to die?" Lishui's Wei army guards are Zhao Hong and Zhang Ming, that Zhao Hong is Wei will lead the second son, resolute and fatherly, and also led table tennis to fight with Karasuma in Youzhou, and made countless military exploits, this is the first time he led table tennis in the Central Plains, and he is also energetic and ambitious

Suddenly.

These Xiahou Nan herald orders only to be held along the river, not to rush to battle, Xiang Hong was already holding his breath in his heart, in the morning when he heard the news that the Wei army was coming, he was in the army, and heard Zhang Bao shouting in the array, and killed without saying a word.

Since Zhang Bao came to Hongnong, the truce has been nearly two months, his hands are itchy and unbearable, and he can't help but be overjoyed when he sees someone beating a horse, and he can't help but be overjoyed, urging the sweat and blood treasure horse, and the tiger head gun is cold and bright in the sun, and it rushes straight to Zhan Hong. Jingle-sound, the spear in Lianhong's hand buzzed and trembled, almost unable to hold it, and his heart was inexplicably shocked, but after a hand-to-hand fight, he understood that Zhang Bud was powerful and invincible

, Tiehong hung the spear on his waist, but took out the longbow from his back. After fighting with the Karasuma people for a long time, Shohiro's horse skills have long been very proficient, and he learned the art of riding and archery from the captured Karasuma people, which is also one of his nirvana.

------------

632 Siege of Tushan

Du Yu was watching the battle from behind, and when he saw Zhang Bao with his back to Zhan Hong, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly drank, "General Zhang be careful!"

Zhang Bao turned his head, just in time to see Zhan Hong bending his bow and arrows, his face changed slightly, and he suddenly urged the treasure horse under his crotch, shook the silk reins to the left front, and at the same time crouched on the horse's back.

The horse, which had been drooping its ears at first, seemed to feel the danger, and suddenly its ears fluttered up, and with a long hissing voice and four hooves raised, it jumped high from the stone bridge, and jumped directly over the stone bridge two or three feet away.

Whoosh –

The three arrows of Kanhiro then caught up, shot at the place where the war horse had just left, crossed the stone bridge, and fell into the river.

"Hmph, despicable boy!" Zhang Bao crossed the stone bridge and dodged the arrows, but he was angry and rushed to the bridge again.

Seeing that Zhang Bao's mount was so good, he couldn't help but be stunned, saw Zhang Bao scolding angrily, sneered, and said, "On the battlefield, life and death intersect, the winner is the king, I practice riding and archery hard, can't I use it?"

"Okay, let me meet your cavalry!" Zhang Bao's eyes widened, the crotch of the horse was like an arrow off the string, and in an instant he went to the bridge deck, the horse was like a dragon, - the hand grabbed the tiger's head and swept over, making a whining sound of breaking the sky.

Zhan Hong understood that Zhang Bao was strong, where would he fight him head-on, retreated from the bridge to the side, bent his bow and arrows again, and prepared to attack Zhang Bao.

At this moment, Zhang Bao's left arm was stretched out, and he saw that under the sleeve, there was a black tube, with two thick fingers, and when he was still confused, he saw seven or eight cold lights suddenly burst out from inside. Although he didn't know why, he also understood that this thing must be dangerous, so he hurriedly collected his bow and arrows, and also bowed down on the horse's back, and fled to the main formation, he understood that once he lost the opportunity and was chased by Zhang Bao across the bridge, close range was the archer's nightmare

dare to stay.

—The sound of the wind breaking in the shadows, a few cold rays of light swept past him, and he was secretly frightened, he didn't expect this thing to be so powerful, and there were a lot of them.

When he was startled, suddenly there was a sharp pain in his stomach, and he couldn't help convulsing all over, and before he could shout, the horse under his crotch also seemed to have been hit, and he spread his hooves and ran forward, almost throwing him off his horse.

"Hahaha, let you also taste the taste of my crossbow!" Seeing that Kanhiro had been hit by an arrow, Zhang Bao laughed, but he didn't expect to shoot and injure Kanhiro's mount, allowing him to escape faster, and he was somewhat regretful. Zhang Bao's arm is equipped with a sleeve arrow, which is something that Ma Jun and Huang Yueying came up with after constantly improving the crossbow, mainly for self-defense, especially the people of the secret guard, equipped with manpower, Zhang Bao originally disdained to use it, but was forced by Liu Changsheng

I don't want to use it so soon.

If it weren't for the bow and arrow against him, he would not have disdained to use the sleeve arrow, fighting in front of the formation, winning the light, in order to boost morale, - if he used despicable means, he would only be ridiculed, Zhang Bao naturally would not use it easily. Although the injury was not serious, but he had no intention of fighting again, and the mount was frightened, he had no choice but to lead the table tennis to retreat into the big village on the mountain, and Zhang Ming, who was watching the battle, also retreated to the earth city

Dare to ask for your own hardship?

Zhang Bao retreated to the riverbank, feeling that his intentions were still exhausted, and let Du Pre-command Ping Pong Ma to set up camp, just waiting for a rest, then surrounded Tushan to attack, and waited for Liu Changsheng's Chinese army to arrive, first take the Lishui position.

Half an hour later, Du Pre led the pro-Ping Pong back to the camp, Zhang Bao saw his face with joy, couldn't help but wonder, and asked, "Qi Kai went out, why are you so happy?" Du pre-smiled, and said, "Just now I took a table tennis to Lishui up and down to observe, the earth city built by the Wei army, although the terrain is extremely high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but I expect that there must be a shortage of water on the mountain, those people must go down the mountain to get water, if you can block the flow of Lishui, the Wei army is hungry and thirsty, no."

Defeat yourself!"

"Hahaha, it was originally in Hangu Pass, and it was said that Xiahou Nan was good at using table tennis, so it seems that it is as ridiculous as the original!" Zhang Bao laughed when he heard this, and said, "In this case, it is best for Lao Qikai to dig the weir to cut off the water flow, and die of thirst!"

Du Kai was very calm, and said, "The army is arranged, and it is still on the spot, although Xiahou Nan is divided, but it is built into an village, maybe Du Pre-Wei will do it, we can't go to Lishui, and it will be difficult to find out about this matter, otherwise why should Xu Junshi hesitate again and again?" Well, that's true, I'll leave it to you to arrange!" Zhang Bao - Xiang is too lazy to use his brains, just waiting to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the matter of using table tennis layouts is to worry about the military division, anyway, the current military regulations stipulate that more than 5,000 table tennis horses must be used

Equipped with two generals of civil and military affairs, complementing each other.

After explaining the reason, he immediately took a few lieutenants to arrange, first to observe whether the Wei army would go down the mountain to get water, and then block the river overnight, and send ping pong to surround the foot of the mountain, trapping the Wei army. In the evening, the army buried pots to make rice, and the horses came to report, and the Wei army really went down the mountain to get water, using Lishui, and after loading, it was transported up the mountain, and more than 10,000 ping-pong horses were stationed on the mountain, and each time the water was only enough for the second use

That's it. In the middle of the night, Du sent 1,000 people to the upper reaches of Lishui to block the river and divert it to other valleys, which not only cut off the Wei army's water source, but also dried up the riverbed, making it much more convenient for Ping Ma to cross the river

— Lift two counts. At this time, the Shu army had already crossed the riverbank one after another, and Zhang Bao and Du Pre led the army, surrounded the earth city on all sides to attack, and divided the two cities to guard the place

,—to prevent the Wei army from coming to the rescue, and secondly, to cut off the Luoyang grain route, and completely isolate the Wei army on the mountain.

Zhang Ming and Zhan Hong were already short of food and grass in the city, coupled with the lack of water, the military heart was already unstable, and in desperation, Zhan Hong personally led Ping Pong out of the city to get water, and grabbed more than a dozen buckets of dirty water in the riverbed, and saw Zhang Bao chasing after him, and hurriedly retreated into the city. But these buckets of water are really a drop in the bucket for more than 10,000 ping pong horses, useless at all, and even the water source for breakfast is not enough, so he is helpless, understanding that there is no water in Zhang Mingcheng, so he simply invites him to rise, and the two of them are at the same place, gathering the table tennis horses

, ready to fight with the Shu army with the advantage of ping tennis.
