Xu Huang's eyes also fell on the mountains and forests opposite, and he also found the shaking leaves and the constantly moving figures.

This scene made Xu Huang also worried.

Originally, Xu Huang thought that this battle should be easy, but now it seems that it is not so easy. If he doesn't cross the bridge to Xinye now, it will definitely lead to Cao Ren's defeat and fall into crisis, and Cao Ren will be killed by Liu Xiu.

Xu Chu didn't know how to make an idea, and asked, "Gongming, what now?"

Xu Huang gritted his teeth and said, "Cross the bridge!"

"Ahh

Xu Chu's eyes showed an incredible look.

Now cross the bridge, but there is clearly an ambush on the opposite side.

Xu Huang said in a deep voice: "Zhongkang, if we don't cross the bridge, then Cao Ren will be alone." When the time comes, Cao Ren will be covered up, and if anything goes wrong, can you and I afford it? Besides, we have 3,000 'elite' riders, and 1,000 'elite' elites under your command. Even if Liu Xiu has ambush soldiers, we can fight. So, I decided to cross the bridge. ”

After Xu Chu heard this, he thought for a while, and his face showed a hesitant look.

Now, Xu Chu also regrets it a little.

Although he is a military general, he is quite delicate in his heart, and he is a clever type. This time, I originally wanted to defeat Liu Xiu and gain military merits, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

"What to do?"

Xu Chu was also hesitant.

After a while, Xu Chu said: "Okay, cross the bridge!"

After the two agreed on the agreement, they gave the order to cross the bridge.

The infantry crossed the bridge first, then lined up on the opposite bank to defend, followed by 3,000 cavalry. After all the cavalry had crossed the bridge, there was still no movement.

"Hey, it's a bluff. ”

Xu Chu sneered and said, "Gongming, fortunately we crossed the bridge." Once we stop at the other side, then we will really fall for Liu Xiu's tricks. He did this on purpose to scare us. Liu Xiu, this kid, is too cunning. ”

"Indeed!"

Xu Huang was also glad in his heart, fortunately he chose to cross the bridge.

"Let's go, go to Xinye County. ”

After Xu Huang gave the order, the team hurried quickly and soon disappeared on the edge of the drinking road. At this time, the longing figure in the mountains and forests disappeared, and a group of soldiers rushed out, and the person at the front was Shamoko. He came to the edge of the bridge, picked up the thistle bone and smashed it.

"Boom!"

With a bang, a large 'hole' appeared in the wooden bridge.

At the same time, the accompanying soldiers were also slashing hard.

After a while, the bridge collapsed. The two-zhang wide river is turbulent, and it is not easy to cross the river in a short time.

Shamoke smiled and said, "The task arranged by the lord has been completed, let's withdraw." ”

The group went into the mountains and forests and quickly retreated.

Xu Huang and Xu Chu led the soldiers to the county seat of Xinye County, and when they had just walked less than two miles and could already see the city tower of Xinye County, suddenly, Xu Huang stopped.

Xu Chu asked, "Gongming, what's wrong?"

"Bridge!"

Xu Huang spoke, and immediately called a soldier and ordered: "You immediately ride your horse back to check if the bridge is still intact?"

"Yes!"

When the soldier received the order, he flew and retreated.

Xu Chu's eyes also showed a thoughtful expression, and he suddenly said, "Gongming, you are worried that the bridge will be destroyed." ”

Xu Huang nodded, his face was solemn, and he waited quietly.

After a short time, the soldier rode back and reported: "General, the bridge in the rear has been destroyed. It is now very difficult to cross the river. ”

Xu Huang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Zhongkang, this time, I really met an opponent." ”

"Is it Liu Xiu's ploy again?" Xu Chu asked.

Xu Huang replied: "Liu Xiu is worthy of Liu Xiu, and the plan is really one link after another." If we don't cross the bridge, then with Liu Xiu's troops, we will definitely be able to easily defeat Cao Ren. He and Zhang Ren can easily converge. ”

"On the contrary, if we cross the bridge, Liu Xiu will start the next plan, destroy the bridge, cut off the prime minister's connection with us, and make it difficult for the prime minister to support us. ”

"In such a situation, we, like Cao Ren, have become alone. ”

"Although we have a 'smart' force, in the final analysis, we are still alone. I expected that Liu Xiu must have set up an ambush in front of him, or he was already waiting for us again. ”

"Liu Xiu's plan is really amazing. ”

"However, it is also terrifying. ”

At this moment, Xu Huang's mind had clearly identified Liu Xiu's plan.

In fact, the strategy set up by Liu Xiu and Pang Tong did take this reason into account. In Liu Xiu's plan, Cao 'Cao' might send Xu Huang to support, but it was difficult to guarantee that Xu Huang would be able to win, so Liu Xiu decided that Cao 'Cao' might also send a second reinforcement army to kill.

As soon as this army appeared, basically, Cao Cao's ambush had been exhausted.

However, Liu Xiu was still not at ease, so he made a dividing point at the location of the bridge.

Once the other party crosses the bridge, the bridge will be cut off, so that Cao Cao's follow-up troops will not be able to support in a short time, completely cutting off the connection between Cao Cao' and the soldiers sent.

After Xu Chu listened, he said: "Gongming, no matter what happens now, we can only move on." As long as we are careful, there will be no problem. ”

Xu Huang nodded, and then ordered to move on.

When Xu Huang was 'pressing' to approach Xinye County, Wei Yan led 3,000 'elite' Rui and Cao Ren's army to fight.

After a 'fighting' battle, Cao Ren led his army to flee in the direction of the barracks, and fled in the wilderness. But Huang Hu had already been waiting for a long time, and after he led the army to kill, he directly defeated the soldiers under Cao Ren's command. Huang Hu carried the drum Weng Jin Hammer and rushed straight at Cao Ren, but Cao Ren ran faster than a rabbit, and he had already lost his figure as soon as he slipped through the smoke, and finally escaped directly.

Cao Ren escaped, and the crisis in Xinye County was temporarily lifted.

After Liu Xiu and Zhang Ren converged, he asked Zhang Ren to count the battlefield, and left Wei Yan to garrison the city, so he took Huanghu's army to the official road in the north, and then lined up on the official road.

Behind Liu Xiu, Huang Hu and the 1,000 Flying Tiger Battalion under his command stood neatly.

After Shamoko came back first, he also led the army into formation.

Two thousand soldiers lined up, murderous.

This location is different from the previous one, and the official road is open on both sides of the official road, and the terrain is flat. Liu Xiu's garrison is here, and there is no hiding at all. Even, there is no hidden opportunity in such a location.

This news soon reached Xu Huang's ears.

Xu Huang heard the news from the sentinel and frowned. When he heard Liu Xiu swaggering and waiting, the first reaction in his mind was that Liu Xiu had set up an ambush. Especially in this kind of local formation, the cavalry fights, it is simply looking for death. With Liu Xiu's cunning, it is impossible to make such a mistake.

Xu Chu's face was solemn, but he knew that he couldn't retreat, and said: "Gongming, Liu Xiu will 'make' Xuanxuan." Let's go, no matter what, we're going to kill it. ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Huang nodded, and then led the soldiers to continue walking.

After going around a bend and walking for about two miles, he had already fallen to the location of Liu Xiu's formation.

From here, you can already see the castle.

However, the black-pressed soldiers in front of him caught Xu Huang's eyes. When Liu Xiu was only a hundred zhang away, Xu Huang waved his hand to signal the soldiers to stop, and then held the mountain axe in one hand and pulled the horse reins in the other hand to step forward.

Less than twenty zhang away from Liu Xiu, Xu Huang stopped.

He fell on Liu Xiu, and he said loudly: "Liu Xiu, the prime minister sent troops south, and the army passed through, and no one could stop him." If you surrender now, the Prime Minister will definitely recommend you to His Majesty, so that you can be reused. ”

Liu Xiu didn't expect Xu Huang to be so bold and come forward alone. He laughed and replied loudly: "I'd rather be the head of the 'chicken' than the tail of the phoenix." ”

In a word, Liu Xiu has already given the answer.

After a short pause, Liu Xiu continued: "Xu Huang, the soldiers under my command have been lined up, and they are not far from you. As long as you give the order, you can attack. Now, don't you give the order to attack? Or are you worried that the soldiers will be ambushed when they come forward? How can I ambush you on this wide official road? It's impossible. ”

The words of explanation give people the feeling that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

Xu Huang was even more cautious in his heart, and he looked left and right. The terrain around the official road was open, and when he walked by himself, he did not encounter a ravine, so it stands to reason that it should be impossible to set up an ambush.
