Zhou Tai protected Zhang Hong and shouted: "Zhang Gong, hurry, hurry, you hide under the stone wall so as not to be affected by the bow and arrow." ”

At this moment, Zhang Hong was also nervous, he retreated to the stone wall, carefully dodging, so as not to affect Zhou Tai.

"Collection, collection. ”

Zhou Tai yelled and ordered his soldiers to gather.

However, under the dense rain of arrows, I saw the soldiers under his command fall to the ground one by one, either dead or wounded.

Zhou Tai's side began to gather soldiers.

Even though Zhou Tai reacted quickly, under the attack of the bow and arrow, as well as the constant attack of Dashi, the casualties became more and more serious. In an instant, twenty or thirty people had died under the bow and arrow.

This scene made Zhou Tai's eyes split and he hated it in his heart.

"We got to the middle of the valley, rushed, rushed. Further, you can rush out of the valley. ”

After gathering most of the soldiers, Zhou Tai ordered to sprint forward.

At the same time, Zhou Tai assigned a part of the soldiers to protect Zhang Hong to ensure that Zhang Hong was not affected.

Along the way, arrows rained down.

The boulders are still falling.

The three-mile-long valley is narrow, and it is only a moment to run at full speed, but now, it is incomparably long. In the blink of an eye, there were soldiers killed and wounded.

The narrow valley has become an abyss for reaping life.

One by one, the Jiangdong soldiers, as they advanced, kept falling to the ground.

Dead and wounded, getting worse.

"Pick up, hurry, hurry, rush forward, you'll be out soon. ”

The knife in Zhou Tai's hand danced, swept away the bow and arrows that were fired, and rushed forward with the soldiers.

When the group came to the exit of the valley, Zhou Tai was stunned.

The exit of the valley, piled with stones. The stones that had been piled up were exactly the ones that had just rolled down from the mountain, and they were three zhang high, and the big stones were facing each other and could not be shaken.

At the top of the mountain, there were bows and arrows to block it, so that the Jiangdong soldiers could not cross it.

Zhou Tai's eyes rolled and said, "Retreat, retreat immediately." ”

Immediately, Zhou Tai decisively ordered a retreat, but when he retreated along the road, he was also attacked by stones and feathered arrows, and the number of dead and wounded continued to increase.

Zhang Hong was protected by the soldiers, and when he saw Zhou Tai retreating in an orderly manner, he said loudly: "Youping, quickly find a place where the terrain is narrow and you can use the mountain to resist the bow and arrow." ”

After Zhou Tai heard this, he immediately executed it.

The group ran forward for a while and came to a place.

In this place, the ground was narrow, and the space above the head was only six feet wide, but the space below was one foot eight feet high and one foot five feet wide, and the stones protruding from the top of the head could withstand the arrows that came down.

Everyone stands below, unthreatened for the time being.

One by one, they looked tired.

Zhang Hong's face was serious, and he said: "Youping, you can't mess around now, if you continue to run back and forth, the soldiers under your command will soon be killed and injured." In this way, it is even more in the hands of the other party. ”

Zhou Tai worried: "Gong Zhang, if we don't retreat, we will be trapped in the valley." ”

Although Zhang Hong was nervous, after all, he had gone through wind and rain and was not chaotic in the face of danger.

He calmed down, shook his head and said, "No, the best way to deal with it is if we don't move for the time being." ”

"Before entering the valley, you sent men to search the entrance and exit of the valley, and there were no stones. This means that the exit of the valley of the stones, is just pushed down. ”

"If the exit is blocked, how can it not be blocked the entrance?"

"In this way, we are the turtles in the urn. ”

Zhang Hong's mind became more and more calm, and he continued to analyze: "You retreat now, in the process of retreating, the soldiers are exposed, and they will inevitably be shot with bows and arrows, or stoned to death." By the time you flee to the entrance, the casualties of the soldiers will be even greater. Then, with no way out, you have to retreat into the valley to avoid the bow and arrows, and then you will suffer more casualties. ”

If Liu Xiu heard Zhang Hong's analysis, he would definitely praise it.

Liu Xiu's strategy is like this, taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhou Tai to run back and forth, constantly shooting or smashing the elite under Zhou Tai's command, and weakening Zhou Tai's forces to the greatest extent.

After hearing this, Zhou Tai said, "Zhang Gong, it's not appropriate for us to stop." ”

"No, I have to stop now. ”

Zhang Hong's eyes flashed with wisdom, and the expression on his face was unusually calm.

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers were nervous, and their hearts calmed down inexplicably, and they were no longer restless.

Zhang Hong flicked his sleeves and said categorically: "In Runan, it is under the rule of Cao Cao. Although the bandits ambushed, it was impossible for the bandits to consume too much time, because the longer the time dragged on, it would be unfavorable to them and it would be easy to attract the army of the government. ”

"The valley is long and narrow, and the other party can't attract attention, and you can't use fire attacks. ”

"So, after we stopped, the only way for the other side to do so was to go into the valley by themselves and fight us head-on. ”

"Besides, we have dry food on us. If the other party doesn't come in, we stay in the valley and it doesn't make any difference. Time-consuming, we can afford to consume. ”

"As long as we don't mess with ourselves, we won't lose this battle. ”

Zhang Hong looked at Zhou Tai and said, "Youping, the other party is just an ordinary bandit." Once they enter the valley, when the time comes, you capture the thief and the king, kill the opponent's mind first, and the battle will be won. They went into the valley and caught turtles in their urns, and this turtle was the bandits. ”

Zhou Tai showed a look of admiration on his face, and said: "Jiang is still old and spicy, Zhang Gong's analysis is very correct." ”

Zhou Tai immediately arranged for the soldiers to be on guard and let the other soldiers rest.

Taking advantage of the gap, Zhou Tai began to count the soldiers.

This time he sent an envoy to Xu County, and Zhou Tai commanded a total of more than 100 elites. After the counting, it was found that there were only thirty-two soldiers left with the soldiers who followed him.

Several of them were seriously wounded, and many were slightly wounded.

Zhou Tai's heart was heavy, and his eyes were murderous.

Thundered!!

In the valley, the stones continued to roll down, and bows and arrows continued to shoot down.

It's just that the screams gradually subsided.

Liu Xiu looked down from the top of the mountain, and asked the soldiers under his command to look at the situation in the valley, and found that the other party chose to hide under the rocks and no longer moved.

Deng Zhanzheng said: "Childe, the other party is hiding and not moving, what should we do?"

Liu Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he said slowly: "This Zhou Tai, who is not chaotic in the face of danger, has stabilized the morale of the army so quickly, and is still hiding, which is quite powerful." In doing so, we are forced to go into the valley and fight head-on. ”

This result was expected by Liu Xiu.

To kill Zhou Tai, it is impossible to do it with only bows and arrows and stones. The role of bows and arrows and stones is to inflict heavy damage on the opponent in large quantities. The real fight has to go head-to-head.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Mobilize all the soldiers and rangers and prepare to enter the valley." ”

Deng Zhan received the order and immediately went down to give the order.

The crowd gathered at the entrance to the valley and climbed over the piled rocks and followed the path of the valley. Along the way, encountering Jiangdong soldiers lying on the ground, Liu Xiu ordered the soldiers to pierce the opponent's heart with spears and completely kill the opponent.

This attack on Zhou Tai and Zhang Hong was a secret operation, and the news could not be leaked.

Of all the Jiangdong soldiers, not a single one remained.

All the way forward, passing through the central position of the narrow road, and then walking more than ten zhang, I saw under the stone in front of me, Zhou Tai's soldiers, resting with their backs against the stone wall.

Liu Xiu saw the situation ahead and was stunned.

Because, Zhang Hong didn't die.

Liu Xiu saw the stone hit the carriage with his own eyes, thinking that Zhang Hong was dead, but now that he found that Zhang Hong was not dead, his surprised expression flashed, and then said with a smile: "Zhang Gong, your life is really big, the stone hit the carriage, and it didn't kill you." ”

Zhang Hong laughed angrily and said, "The old man is not dead, and the cultivator is afraid that he will be disappointed." Fortunately, the old man did not take the carriage when he entered the valley, otherwise he would not even know who killed the old man. The old man thought it was an ambush by bandits, but he didn't expect it to be a cultivator. ”

Zhou Tai's eyes were also murderous.

Originally, Zhou Tai also thought it was a bandit attack, but he didn't expect it to be Liu Xiu.

Such a result is too unexpected.

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "When I was in Xu County, Zhang Gong was behind the scenes, didn't he also want me to die in the hands of Dian Man Xu Yi and others?
