Noon.

The sky was still overcast and drizzling.

A thousand soldiers and horses lined up in a long line, slowly passing through Shuangliu County and marching to the south gate.

"Stop!"

With a loud shout, the long dragon suddenly stopped.

Walking in the forefront, wearing Zhang Chu's set of dark tiger roaring fish scale armor, Da Liu turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly walked to the city.

"General. ”

Da Liu walked in front of Zhang Chu and shook it to the end.

Zhang Chu was dressed in a coarse cloth red military uniform, and his long hair was tied in a bun and fixed on the top of his head with an iron hairpin.

Jiao Shan, neatly armored, stood behind him.

"It's like that family, right?"

Zhang Chu looked at Da Liu, turned his face and smiled at Jiao Shan beside him.

Jiao Shan nodded with a smile and said, "There are many more guards than the four guards of the Mourning Army." ”

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Chu laughed and stepped forward to tighten the armor on Da Liu's body.

Da Liu's stature is almost the same as him, and this set of armor, Da Liu is just right.

"Multiple scouts!"

"Use your brain!"

"If you face a strong enemy, you don't have to fight hard, and the first priority is to preserve your strength. ”

He instructed.

When Da Liu heard this, he had some doubts in his heart.

Didn't I go to receive the grain and grass?

What danger can there be in the rear?

Even if there are small groups of northern barbarians, or bandits and the like.

It's nothing, is it?

In front of so many soldiers, he couldn't ask questions, so he could only wave his hands and say, "The last general will obey orders." ”

"Go ahead!"

Zhang Chu patted him on the shoulder.

"Whoa!"

Da Liu responded loudly, and finally lowered his voice and whispered: "It's down." ”

Zhang Chu smiled and waved at him.

Da Liu didn't say anything more, turned around and pressed the saber, and hurriedly walked down the city wall.

"Get out!"

He rolled over his horse and shouted.

The dragon fish runs through the cave of the city gate and gradually moves away along the horse road.

Zhang Chu stood at the head of the city, watching them disappear into the gloomy sky.

Jiao Shan, who was standing behind him, said in a low voice: "General, the 20,000 elites of the Japanese army and the Zhenbei army have arrived at the predetermined location. ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhang Chu replied lightly: "Brothers of the Qianyuan Army, have you finished lunch?"

Jiao Shan: "It's assembled, just waiting for your order." ”

Zhang Chu: "I took half of my troops, and the burden on your shoulders is very heavy!"

"General, don't worry"

Jiao Shan said in a deep voice: "The last general, but there is still a breath, and the Northern Barbarians will not be able to pass Shuangliu County!"

"Of course I'm relieved that you're doing things. ”

Zhang Chu patted him on the shoulder and took a deep breath: "Pass my order, the Hidden Abyss Army will be pulled!"

"Whoa!"

......

"Drive!"

The army marched on the muddy horse path.

It's not fast.

Because this trip removed 10,000 hidden abyss troops.

There are also 3,000 military mourning troops, escorted and accompanied by baggage.

Shen Shi.

Zhang Chu led the army to the meeting place specified in the order of the commander of the Chinese army.

Two teams of men and horses rushed out of the mountains and forests, and reined in the front of the Qianyuan Army a few feet away.

"Dare to ask, where is the general of Zhengbei!"

Zhang Chu hit the horse and walked out, "I am Zhang Chu." ”

The second rode out of the horse, hugged his fist on the horse's back, and said in a respectful voice.

"The last general, the right army of the Zhenbei Army, Dingyuan General Wang Junxiong. ”

"The last general praised Zhou Ning, the loyal military general of the Japanese Tiger Battalion. ”

"Meet General Zhang!"

Zhang Chu swept his eyes and said in his heart: a six-grade, a five-grade.

Zhou Ning, who supported the Japanese army, was a six-pin.

Wang Junxiong of the Zhenbei Army is a five-pin.

Zhou Ning's official position.

is half a grade higher than Wang Junxiong's.

This great separation of official positions......

It's really up to Shangguan's will!

Zhang Chu's face did not change, and he raised his hand from afar: "The two generals don't have to be polite. ”

"General Xie!"

The second general thanked him respectfully, straightened up, hung his head slightly, and waited quietly for Zhang Chu's order.

"Map. ”

Zhang Chu stretched out his hand behind him.

Immediately, there was a cowhide map of the guard's whereabouts, which was unfolded and sent to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu took the map, roughly estimated the distance between this place and the place selected by Tianfeng, raised his head to observe the sky, handed the map behind him casually, and said: "The right army and the tiger camp will be drawn immediately, and they will rush to the receiving place with the general." ”

"Whoa!"

Wang Junxiong and Zhou Ning responded in unison, and then turned their horses' heads together and ran towards the mountains and forests.

"Where is Sun Jian!"

Zhang Chu continued to shout.

Sun Si'er, who was in the Qianyuan Army, rushed out on horseback, and responded from a distance: "The last general!"

"Er led a thousand to make the elite of the North Battalion the vanguard of the three armies, and swept away the Northern Barbarians!"

"Whoa!"

"Where is Niu Thirteen?"

"The last general!"

"Er led a thousand people from the headquarters to be the rear of the three armies, clean up the traces of the march, and return to the camp before the time!"

"Whoa!"

"The three armies are out!"

......

Fang Doosan .

It is located ten miles southeast of Dabao County.

Deviate from the road for three miles.

There are no villages around.

There is only one sheep intestine path for woodcutters and medicine pickers to enter the mountain.

It's off the beaten track.

Before dark.

Zhang Chu led the army into Fang Doushan.

Set up camp in the mountain col, widen the sheep intestine path into the mountain at night, and strictly prohibit the rebellion by fire, only dry food and cold food.

The rain did not stop.

Even in Zhang Chu's military tent, it was cold and damp.

The guards took a few cold steamed buns, mixed them with a plate of cooked mutton soaked in fine salt, and sent them to Zhang Chu's tent.

Zhang Chu picked up the steamed buns, tore them apart, and filled them with cold mutton in his mouth one by one.

I haven't eaten a few bites yet.

Outside the tent, two long and one short rat cries rang out.

He put down the steamed bun and snapped his fingers.

The curtain moved slightly.

A figure floated into the tent, knelt on one knee, and whispered, "Bow down to the Lord." ”

Zhang Chu: "Have you ever exposed your whereabouts along the way?"

The person under the account: "There are Japanese scouts in Shuangliu County who accompany them along the way, and after entering Dabao County, they will lead away the Japanese scouts together." ”

"The carrier pigeons released by the Japanese army and the Zhenbei army were also shot and killed, only missing. ”

Zhang Chu bowed his head: "Well done, everyone will be credited!"

The man under the tent: "Thank you, Lord." ”

"Where are the soldiers and horses who robbed the camp?"

"Recently, the soldiers and horses in Dabao County have been frequently mobilized, and the original defenders in Dabao County have all withdrawn to Jintianfu, and now the defenders in Dabao County are all the elite of the Zhenbei Army and the Japanese army, and there are a large number of war horses. ”

"General Jiba, I have arrived in Dabao County in the early morning. ”

Zhang Chu patted his knees lightly and pondered for a moment.

At the cost of giving up Dabao County, in exchange for a chance to raid the Beiban base camp in Yanqi County?

Also.

Dabao County hangs outside the defense line of Jintianfu.

To be an offensive bridgehead, the location of Dabao County is very suitable.

can be used as a line of defense, and the position of Dabao County is too awkward.

It is very cost-effective to give up Dabao County as a bet in exchange for an opportunity to storm the Beiban base camp in Yanqi County.

After a while, Zhang Chu asked again: "Do you have any people under you who are good at observing the weather?"

"Yes, my lord. ”

"Go and ask when it will rain heavily. ”

"Back to the Lord, there will be a heavy rain tomorrow and night at the latest, and then the sky will be clear...... If it goes down again, it's going to snow!"

Zhang Chu suddenly said: "Yes, it's about to start winter." ”
