In the past few years, although Qu Li and many other tribes have purchased many ordnance and weapons from Jiang Fangshun, the Chu court has expressly forbade the sale of weapons by the people, and they have only received a small amount.

In the early days of the rebellion, the rebels took Suilin City by surprise and stormed Qingyuan County, but these two cities were not government cities after all, and the armor and weapons in the arsenal only added up to six or seven thousand sets.

As a result, only about forty percent of the rebel soldiers wore armor and were equipped with relatively sophisticated weapons, and most of these people were the personal guards of the rebel leaders.

The remaining sixty percent of the rebels were all wearing leather armor that could only cover the vital points on their chests, and the weapons in their hands were only crude bamboo guns and bamboo knives, and their defensive and lethal power was more than half that of their heavily armed comrades.

The team of nearly 20,000 people drove into the Tuochuan Valley like a long dragon.

The more you go to the depths of the Tuochuan Valley, the narrower the road, the mountains and rivers on both sides are pressing, the surrounding trees are overgrown, just enter the valley or the road is five or six zhang wide, and the road is only two zhang wide when you go less than three miles.

In addition, it was getting late at this time, and the speed of the army's march gradually slowed down.

Qu Li rode on a war horse, relying on his outstanding martial arts, leading several henchmen and a group of guards to take the lead, and drove the front army to catch up with Mao's headquarters.

The middle and rear armies, led by a few remaining rebel generals, maintained formation and followed closely behind.

Qu Li listened to the faint shouting and killing sound in the valley ahead, and his eyes showed a look of pride.

Just a yellow-haired child, how do you know how to use soldiers?

This time, he wanted to use the rout to break the camp of the imperial court soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, and then wave his troops to cover the killing, not only to annihilate the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court here, but also to capture Zhao Xu, the king of Naning.

As long as he holds that incompetent child and threatens him with this, he is not afraid that Ning Tong will defend Fang Zhe and surrender without opening the city!

At that time, Suilin, Ningtong, and Qingyuan will all be in my hands, and it will only be a matter of time before Jiaxing Mansion is taken.

When Jiaxing Mansion is taken, the connection between the Zhennan general Qu Zhen and the Chu State will be completely severed, and it will become a source of water, a tree without roots, and it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Burmese army under the cut off of materials......

Qu Li is extremely self-aware of himself, knowing that Miaojiang, which is located between Burma and Chu, does not have the slightest chance of independent self-government.

But even if he can't claim hegemony in Miaojiang in the end, he will not lose the position of a prince when he defects to Burma.

When the time comes, will you be titled King Miao or King Zhennan?

Riding on the horse, Qu Li couldn't help but start imagining his future scenery.

The movement of the rebels into the valley naturally could not hide Yuan Xiang and the 6,000 crossbowmen he led in the dense forests on both sides of the valley.

"General, the rebels have entered the valley."

One of the guards came to his side and whispered.

"Ben is not blind, I don't need you to remind me!"

Yuan Xiang frowned and looked at the rebels who followed the soldiers of the Beijing camp who pretended to be a rout, chasing into the valley, and said angrily:

"This wave is a small head, and the big head is still behind. Tell the brothers, don't act rashly, and shoot after hearing the general's order, if anyone dares to disobey the military order, it will ruin His Highness's strategy. Your Highness spared you, but he couldn't spare you! ”

The guards were reprimanded, and the disgraced herald went.

Yuan Xiang turned his head and stared at the movement in the valley, and he didn't notice the sweat dripping into his eyes.

If His Highness's plan can really succeed, then the main force of the rebels will be wiped out, and they can even take advantage of the situation to capture Qingyuan County and block the way for the rebels to advance eastward.

He seemed to remember Zhao Xu's words when he was leaving.

"General Yuan, except for the more than 1,000 men and horses under the command of Captain Gao, the rest are useless, and it is okay to fight a good battle, but if you fight with the rebels, I am afraid you will not be able to hold out for too long. Therefore, if you want to reinvent Jingying, you must first let them taste victory, and let them feel that this rebel army is nothing more than that. With such thoughts, they will not fall into the disadvantage of the rebels. Therefore, this is the first battle with the rebels, you can't fight hard, you can only use tactics! The 6,000 crossbowmen in the army, this king will all be entrusted to the general! ”

Yuan Xiang bit his lip and subconsciously clenched the three-stone hard bow in his hand.

Your Highness, I will live up to Your Highness's trust!

"Pass my military order, let the front army pass, and wait for the other party's Chinese army to enter the valley!"

Yuan Xiang gave the order again.

…………

"Commander, the soldiers in front are crowded, and the soldiers and horses can't move."

A probe came up to Gao Yi and gasped.

"Can't walk? What's going on? ”

Qu Li snorted coldly and asked.

"Big, big marshal, those routs were afraid of running slowly, and they were caught up by General Maofu's troops, and lost their lives, and on the way to escape, they took off all the armor on their bodies, and their weapons were also thrown to the side of the road, as well as the gold and silver and other things they carried with them." Speaking of this, Tanma couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "I have to say that the court of Chu is rich." All these things on their bodies are ......"

"Shut up!"

Qu Li shouted, raised his horsewhip and slapped it the horse's face.

Tanma snorted, and an inch-wide streak of blood instantly appeared on his right cheek.

"Say, who made you mess with my army?"

Listening to the heavy breathing of the henchmen and guards behind him, Qu Li's heart couldn't help but sink.

Wealth is moving!

Tanma said with a aggrieved face: "Dashuai, what the villain said, everything is true!" ”

"Lead the way ahead, Ben Shuai wants to see that idiot in Mao's house!"

He wants to ask this idiot, is this time to grab these things, and when he captures the opponent's camp, isn't it what he wants?

Why is this vision so small!

For the first time, Qu Li felt that he had used the wrong person.

He should have sent a man with brains to meet the enemy, not this stupid pig full of greed!

"Marshal, the front is blocked and difficult to walk, is it slowing down the middle army and the rear army?"

An adjutant asked in a low voice.

"You're right, inform them, slow down!"

Qu Li said and walked forward.

He wants to ask Mao Fu face to face, does he know what he should do now?

"Dashuai, the last general doesn't want to......"

Faced with Qu Li's questioning, Mao Fu wanted to cry without tears.

"The last general also wanted to continue to chase the group of routs, but when the little cubs under his command saw these armor weapons, gold and silver treasures, their eyes were red, and they were busy picking up these things, and the last general couldn't catch up."

As he spoke, Mao Fu stretched out a finger and secretly pointed in one direction.

Qu Li turned his head to look, and what he saw made his teeth itch with hatred.

His guards joined the scramble!

"Dashuai, there's a wooden sign on the side of the road!"

At this time, a guard saw that in the grass beside the road, there was a wooden sign with the length of an arm, on which a few large characters were written crookedly with charcoal, but the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was far away, and it was impossible to see what was written on it.
