General Zhou shook his head helplessly, gave a military salute and left, and after dismissing the generals, a middle-aged man like a master came over and asked, "General, how to write today's battle report?" ”

Lu Yang thought for a while and said: "Just write that today's battle with the main force of the Han bandits, because the enemy situation is unknown, they strayed into the enemy army surrounded by tens of thousands of people, fought hard to kill the Han bandits, and lost eight ...... 13,000 soldiers and horses, 20,000 enemies annihilated, because of the fierce battle situation, the consumption is huge, I ask the county lord to increase the salary, reward the three armies to boost morale, and the decisive battle in Japan can sweep away the rebels with one drum......"

The master pondered for a while, and then said: "My lord, we have lost 8,000 people today, and there are only one or two hundred enemies killed, if this number is written like this, I am afraid that it will be ...... if you check it up."

Lu Yang smiled sinisterly and said: "Master Yan, don't worry, the number I reported is still conservative, the county lord will definitely double it by one or two times before he reports it after receiving the battle report, where does the imperial court care, now that the Qingyun Empire is full of rebels, the emperor Lao'er really sent people to count the heads." When soldiers fight wars, we just have to make money, I'm afraid that there will be no war, then there will really be no money to spend, before I came to this place, I was still worried that my aunt would have no money, Liu Zhibang made such a fuss, our opportunity to make a fortune will not come, master, you write well, write beautifully, your benefits are indispensable......"

The master bowed down and said, "The general is majestic and strategic!" ”

……

General Zhou led his troops to the east for two hours, and suddenly the spies in front reported that there was a large group of men and horses in front, and General Zhou immediately lined up, and suddenly another spy reported that it was Hu Jinzhong's troops who were defeated by the Han army and were fleeing in the direction of Xia Yuancheng.

General Zhou...... General Zhou, are you here......" Hu Jinzhong saw General Zhou's team, and shouted away.

General Zhou frowned slightly and said, "General Hu, I was sent by General Lu as soon as I received your request for help, what are you doing?" ”

Vice General Hu Jinzhong's face was dusty, and the sweat on his head kept dripping, mixed with dust, and he looked very embarrassed.

"The Han bandits are too powerful, we are not opponents at all, the general should retreat to Xia Yuancheng with me and hold on!"

General Zhou looked at the sparse deserters behind Vice General Hu Jinzhong, there were only a few hundred, and he was also very shocked in his heart, and asked: "General Hu, how many people are there in the enemy army, there are really tens of thousands?" ”

Hu Jinzhong saw General Zhou's suspicious eyes, thought for a while, and said: "The mountains are all over the field, where can be counted clearly, and when outnumbered, I have to retreat......

General Zhou rolled his eyes, snorted lightly, and said with a little contempt: "General Hu has worked hard, since I am here, I will not return empty-handed, wait for me to take down Liu Zhibang's head, and give General Hu a shock......"

"Go ......"

"General Zhou, you ......" Hu Jinzhong didn't feel good in his heart, but Zhou Shan stopped looking at him and left on his own.

Seeing Zhou Shan's proud face and leading the crowd away, Hu Jinzhong smiled bitterly and said to himself: "You Zhou Shanniu, let you also suffer hardships, don't blame the old brother for not reminding you......"

Hu Jinzhong looked at the sparse subordinates behind him, waved his hand, and said, "Brothers, go quickly, don't be caught up by Liu Zhibang......"

……

Zhou Zhi led the army all the way, and after walking for less than an hour, the spies reported that the army was found in front, and after careful questioning, he learned that Liu Zhibang was only 3,000 people, and he was even more disapproving.

"It's a waste that I ran so quickly, it turned out that there were only 3,000 people, and it was a bit of a waste for me to have 10,000 border army elite horsemen, forget it, since I'm here, let's solve them easily...... The first and second regiments were ordered to attack on the left and right flanks, and the Chinese army rushed over with me......"

The ground tremor became stronger and stronger, and by the moonlight, Liu Zhibang saw countless black shadows running quickly from a distance, rolling up the dust, and he couldn't clearly observe the specific number.

Wu Jingyu looked over, the cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the banner waving in the night wind could already be vaguely distinguished.

"Patriarch, look at the banner, it should be Zhou Shan's cavalry has arrived, but I don't know how many cavalry he brought over for the time being......"

After listening to Wu Jingyu's report, Liu Zhibang looked back at the slightly nervous reserve soldiers, and said to Wu Jingyu: "According to the son's plan, how should I deal with this battle?" ”

Wu Jingyu thought for a while and said: "The biggest advantage after riding is the speed and huge impact force, as long as they are not allowed to disrupt our formation, the cavalry will have nothing to do...... Wait for me to shout before the battle, and see if Zhou Shan will still remember my father's old feelings......"

Liu Zhibang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid they won't give us a chance to speak, let them suffer first!" ”

"Hollow Array ......"

Thousands of people moved quickly, and all the troops gathered in a large circle, using the carts as cover, the front row of soldiers stretched out their spears, and the back row of soldiers pulling arrows.

"Kill......"

Two thousand light cavalry swept through the Han army like a raging wind, but almost no one effectively attacked the Han soldiers through a circle of carriages, and the Han infantry spears were nearly twice as long as the cavalry spears in their hands, and they could easily stab the approaching cavalry.

An officer reported to Zhou, "My lord, the enemy is hiding behind the cart, and our spears can't reach ......."

Zhou Shan looked at the situation on the battlefield and said, "Then ride and shoot ......."

Two thousand light horsemen turned back, and after a round of arrow rain, few of the Han army were hit by arrows, and they were already jolting on their horses, and the accuracy of archery could not be compared with standing on the ground.

Whoosh whoosh ......

"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h

The two teams of light cavalry returned to the starting point, and found that nearly thirty percent of the brothers were missing, and those who could come back alive were all apprehensive, and the Han army's arrows rained down, and the accuracy was incomparable, but only a few screams were heard sporadically in the Han army's array.

An officer who had just fled shouted in shock: "General, don't rush in, the enemy is too dense with arrows......

Zhou Shan's wanted to hit head-on, but as soon as he approached, he was hit by a huge blow, the arrow rain in front of the Han army was several times denser than the other sides, and he lost more than a thousand people in a round of charge, looking at the corpses in front of the Han army, Zhou Shan's eyes became quite solemn.

"It's General Zhou Shan!" A question came from afar.

Zhou Shan replied: "It's General Ben, but the other side is the subordinate of the Han bandit Liu Zhibang?" ”

"Under Liu Zhibang, I have admired General Zhou's prestige for a long time, but I don't want to see each other like this today, can General Zhou speak before the battle?"

A subordinate beside Zhou Shan's side stopped: "General don't go, be careful of Liu Bandit's tricks......

Zhou Shan pondered for a while, but then rode out of the battle, the Han army walked out of the big formation of a man in white, medium height, followed by an equally young man, Zhou Handle carefully rode his horse to the two, carefully looked at the two. In addition to the white clothes and black hair, Zhou Zhi didn't think that the man in front of him was outstanding, and when he saw another man next to Liu Zhibang, he was stunned, this young man had a sense of déjà vu.
