Outside Tianlong Ridge, twelve miles.

This location is the only way to Youxian. The place is an open and flat plain, with a hill and dense woods on the left side of the road.

Although the hills are sheltered by woods, this is not really the best place to ambush.

There is no depth, no geographical advantage.

However, the location chosen by Liu Xiu is precisely here.

After coming down from Tianlong Ridge, it leads to various places in Youxian County, either the road is narrow and not conducive to hiding soldiers, or the road is wide and there are no woods. Especially after approaching Youxian, there are tuntians everywhere, and it is impossible to arrange ambushes.

The only place is this place.

There is a certain distance from Tianlongling, and there is also a certain distance from Youxian.

At the same time, there is a dense forest where soldiers can be hidden.

Liu Xiu took the soldiers to hide in the dense forest, waiting quietly. In fact, Liu Xiu didn't know when Zhu Biao would go down the mountain at all, and the only thing he was sure of was that Huo Yun would definitely urge Zhu Biao to go down the mountain in the next few days.

In the mountains and forests, Pang Tong and Deng Zhan sat beside Liu Xiu.

In addition, Huang Zhong was also beside Liu Xiu.

After Liu Xiu led his troops into Liu Pan's military camp, he borrowed weapons from Liu Pan, and then temporarily borrowed Huang Zhong as well.

Huang Zhong asked: "Master Xiu, Zhu Biao won't go down the mountain today, do you have to wait?"

Liu Xiu's eyes were firm, and he said without hesitation: "I have already told Huo Yun that he has been in the barracks for the past few days. It is impossible for Huo Yun to send someone to the military camp to investigate, and it is impossible for Brother Pan to take the initiative to tell Huo Yun, so it is safest for us to hide in the mountains and forests. I believe that Zhu Biao will definitely go down the mountain, so just wait quietly. ”

Huang Zhong bowed slightly, and his eyes showed a look of approval.

It's not arrogant or impatient, it's really good.

Huang Zhong changed his words and said: "The distance between the mountains and forests and the official road is a bit far, and the terrain of the mountains and forests is not suitable for a large number of soldiers to ambush with bows and arrows. This means that once you confront Zhu Biao, you must fight head-on. Xiu Gongzi, this kind of fighting, either you die or I die, or even kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred. ”

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "General Hansheng, if Zhu Biao stays in Tianlong Ridge, the soldiers under my command will attack and the casualties will be greater." Such a result is already good. Moreover, I invited General Hansheng here to destroy the enemy in one fell swoop. General Hansheng is a fierce general on the battlefield, and after Zhu Biao appears, General Hansheng will lead the troops to defeat the bandits. ”

Huang Zhong nodded, and said, "What if Zhu Biao is ready to withdraw as soon as he fights?"

Liu Xiu said again: "This failure is the beginning of the next plan, and failure is always a foreshadowing of success." Therefore, even if Zhu Biao retreats, he can continue to cover up. Moreover, the probability of Zhu Biao's retreat is too small. ”

Speaking of this, a smile appeared in Liu Xiu's eyes. At this time, Liu Xiu understood, Huang Zhong's rhetorical question was actually aimed at possible loopholes.

Huang Zhong closed his eyes and said no more.

In a simple conversation, Huang Zhong determined that Liu Xiu's plan this time was well prepared.

"Babble!"

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

Qiu Bao hurriedly ran over and reported: "Childe, Zhu Biao has come down the mountain with the bandits, and he is now on his way." Zhu Biao is less than six miles away from us. ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Pass the order, and the whole army will prepare." ”

At the sound of an order, the army began to prepare.

Huang Zhong clenched the big knife in his hand, the tip of the knife was on the ground, and he closed his eyes to recuperate. The more time it was time to fight, Huang Zhong's heart became more and more calm.

Time passed little by little, and everyone waited quietly.

The hearts of all the soldiers were suspended in the air. Unlike veterans like Huang Zhong, the soldiers in the army are inevitably a little nervous when they go to the battlefield for the first time. But when they raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while, they will inevitably go to the battlefield.

"Here we are, less than two miles away. ”

Qiu Bao ran back again, and there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.

Liu Xiu nodded and waved his hand: "General Hansheng, the army is led by you." You and Pang Tong led the troops down and lined up on the flat and open official road to meet the battle, preparing to meet Zhu Biao. ”

Huang Zhong's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he asked, "What about you?"

Liu Xiudao: "The geographical location of the hill is not suitable for ambushing a large number of archers, but at the top of the mountain, there is a protruding boulder near the official road. I went there and sniped Zhu Biao. ”

Huang Zhong's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Master Xiu, are you going to shoot Zhu Biao?"

This situation was unexpected by Huang Zhong.

Huang Zhong knew that Liu Xiu's swordsmanship was very exquisite, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu to be proficient in archery.

"Yes!"

Liu Xiu nodded, his eyes firm. His swordsmanship is outstanding, but the battle on the battlefield is wide open and closed, and he is not suitable for swordsmanship. Moreover, Huang Zhong is the best at leading troops.

Huang Zhong led the troops to rush into battle, and he went to snipe Zhu Biao, which was the best way.

Huang Zhong was silent for a moment, and he no longer persuaded and said, "In this case, act separately." ”

"Follow me out of the woods. ”

Huang Zhong waved the big knife in his hand and rushed out of the mountain forest with the soldiers.

At the same time, the mounts of Huang Zhong, Pang Tong, Deng Zhan and others were also pulled out. Eight hundred soldiers followed closely behind Huang Zhong, running densely, and soon came to the official road, blocking Zhu Biao's road to Youxian.

Zhu Biao took a thousand thieves and marched towards Youxian.

Compared with the rest of the bandits, Zhu Biao rode a tall horse, wore armor, wore an iron helmet on his head, and was fully equipped. Moreover, behind Zhu Biao, there are even soldiers like officers and soldiers, carrying a big flag forward.

On the white flag, the word 'Zhu' is embroidered in black.

The banner has been following Zhu Biao, showing that this is where Zhu Biao is located.

When Zhu Biao learned the news that there were officers and soldiers in front of him, he was also stunned.

After a moment, Zhu Biao calmed down.

Among the officers and soldiers in Youxian County, in addition to Liu Pan's army, there were only Liu Xiu's soldiers. An army suddenly appeared on the official road, and there was no doubt that it was Liu Xiu's army.

Zhu Biao's eyes showed a look of disdain, and he sneered: "The army that has just been formed wants to stop me, it's just beyond my strength. Moving forward at full speed, Lao Tzu wants to see what tricks Liu Xiu plays. ”

At this time, Zhu Biao's heart was already alive.

After careful analysis, he understood that this was Liu Xiu's strategy to lure the snake out of the hole. Liu Xiu temporarily handed over the grain to Huo Yun to manage, obviously deliberately, deliberately asked Huo Yun to inform Zhu Biao, and then pretended to go to Liu Pan's military camp, but in fact, he was ambushed here and wanted to attack him. Liu Xiu's strategy, Zhu Biao also thought it was excellent, but Zhu Biao thought that Liu Xiu had forgotten a little.

The combat effectiveness of the army!

What can Liu Xiu do if he has soldiers? Soldiers have no combat effectiveness and are still useless.

Zhu Biao quickly led the bandit to the front, he stopped a hundred steps away from Huang Zhong, and shouted, "Who is Liu Xiu?" ”

Pang Tong didn't even think about it, and rode his horse to stand up.

"I am Liu Xiu, Zhu Biao, you surrender immediately, and this official will leave you with all your corpses. ”

Pang Tong is older than Liu Xiu, but he is not much worse. After he stood up, he would not make Zhu Biao suspicious. However, after Zhu Biao saw Pang Tong, he burst out laughing.

"Hahaha......"

Zhu Biao laughed and said, "I heard that Liu Xiu is handsome, is this Junlang? Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu, you are really handsome." It's just that the people who praise you are blind and a bunch of fools. ”

Pang Tong's eyes revealed a hint of coldness.

The dying man is still so arrogant.

Huang Zhong rode a horse and stood beside Pang Tong, his eyes revealing a touch of contemplation. He glanced at a large stone to the left of Zhu Biao, close to fifty zhang away. Seeing that the forest moved twice, he knew that Liu Xiu was already in place.

Pang Tong led Zhu Biao out and delayed time.

Liu Xiu was in place, and then prepared to snipe Zhu Biao, this move was quite exquisite
