Looking at the wooden plaque, Qu Li was suddenly startled for some reason, walked to Mao's side quietly, and instructed the guards:

"Take the wooden sign."

The guards ran over, picked up the wooden sign, and returned to Qu Lima.

"General Mao, help Ben Shuai light a torch!"

The feeling of shock in Qu Li's heart became more and more intense, and he endured the uneasiness in his heart and said to Mao Fu.

"Okay."

Unaware, Mao Fu took the torch from one of the guards and took a picture of the wooden sign.

"The head of the thief died here!"

Looking at these six big characters, Qu Li's pupils suddenly dilated.

Hit the trick!

In the next moment, Qu Li heard the sound of bowstring vibrating from the surrounding trees and grass, and heard the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air, he subconsciously turned over, jumped off his horse, grabbed Mao Fu's belt with both hands, and lifted it high above the top.

"Dashuai, you ......"

Before Mao Fu could react, a burst of bone spur pain came into his mind, and his consciousness instantly became blurred.

I saw that in the dense forests on both sides of the valley, an officer with a bow and a crossbow appeared in shape, and shot his crossbow arrows at the rebels crowded in the middle of the valley like a torrential rain, and in the middle, there was also the roar of a general.

"Shoot the one with the wooden sign first, the one with the torch, shoot hard at Ben General!!"

The rebels, who were fighting for the land's property, were suddenly ambushed by the officers and soldiers, and they were in a state of confusion.

Those rebels with torches were taken care of by the crossbowmen, and enjoyed the treatment of a thousand arrows piercing their hearts, and those who died could not die again, and the torches used for lighting in their hands fell to the ground, and the flames were extinguished.

The surrounding environment was completely plunged into darkness, and the morale of the rebels, who were already distraught by the ambush, plummeted again and again, and fled in all directions like dizzy flies, no matter how much Qu Li's generals tried to suppress them.

Qu Li lifted aside the body of Mao Fu, who was shot into a hedgehog, got up from the ground, and looked at his subordinates who fled in a hurry, and couldn't help but feel sad.

However, the officers and soldiers who came to quell the rebellion did not give Qu Li much time to sigh.

"The enemy chief is dead, kill!"

As Yuan Xiang raised the copper wedge in his hand and shouted "kill the enemy", he led the crossbowmen who had finished shooting the crossbow arrows, and rushed down from the mountains on both sides like a tiger descending the mountain.

"The matter has come to this point, withdraw to Qingyuan County, and then make a ...... calculation"

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Qu Li sighed, led the nearly 1,000 soldiers who had just been gathered, escaped from Tuochuan Valley in the rout, and withdrew in the direction of Qingyuan County.

Gao Yi and Yuan Xiang joined forces, chased the rebels out of the Tuochuan Valley, and chased nearly ten miles, and saw that there were reinforcements coming from the direction of Qingyuan County, so they stopped the pursuit, formed a formation, and slowly retreated into the valley.

On the way back to the camp, the two looked at each other and laughed.

"General Huwei, the last general will bow down!"

Gao Yi took the lead in arching his hand.

Just now, he saw Yuan Xiang dancing wildly with martial arts true flames, and the whole person was like a fierce tiger, killing those rebels to the point of crying father and mother, if he hadn't shouted "Those who abandon weapons and surrender will not be killed", I am afraid that there will be nearly a hundred more souls under this general.

Who would have thought that this General Yuan, who usually shows his majesty, would have such a great killing effect on the battlefield......

Yuan Xiang only nodded slightly at Gao Yi's words of praise and said solemnly:

"This big victory, the general will not dare to take credit, it is all thanks to His Highness's strategy, and it can be decided in a battle."

Speaking of Zhao Xu's strategy this time, Yuan Xiang was also amazed in his heart.

First, he blew himself up, which made the rebels despise him, and sent troops to attack, and then let Gao Yi feint and lead the rebels into the valley, and then lost his armor, so that the rebels were greedy, ignored the surrounding environment, and delayed the main force of the rebels, and then ambushed the rebels and caught the rebels off guard.

In his opinion, that wooden sign can be called the finishing touch.

The few words on the wooden plaque were scribbled deliberately by His Highness.

Most of the rebel soldiers are illiterate, and when they see the handwriting on the wooden card, they will only subconsciously hand it over to the enemy chief for identification, as long as the ambushed archers can shoot them, then the rebels will collapse without a fight.

It's just that......

"The only regret is that the general did not shoot the enemy chief in the valley, and ran away with a big fish in vain."

Gao Yi said with regret.

Only then did they learn from the captives that it was not the rebel leader Qu Li who died in the first wave of arrows, but one of his fierce generals named Mao Fu.

"How can things be perfect, do your best, just know the destiny of heaven."

Yuan Xiang was more open-minded, shook his head and said:

"If you can run a monk, you can't run to the temple, Your Highness has already prepared a surprise for that guy in Qingyuan County. Go, enter the account and see your Highness! ”

The two entered the handsome tent, and when they saw Zhao Xu sitting in the handsome position, they bowed their hands and said:

"Your Highness, the last general is here to give orders!"

"The two generals have worked so hard, sit!" Zhao Xu looked at the two generals and motioned to the guards to show them a seat.

The two sat down, and Zhao Xu asked with a smile:

"Two generals, what is the result of this battle?"

"Back to Your Highness, this time our army sent 3,500 troops, 210 were lightly wounded, 100 were seriously wounded, 10 were killed, more than 6,000 were killed, and more than 8,000 were captured." In the end, Yuan Xiang's voice was a little low, "The last general failed to capture the thief Shou Qu Li, and I ask His Highness to punish him." ”

For Zhao Xu, His Royal Highness King Ning, he was already convinced. If you were the head coach, it would be impossible to come up with such a strategy, let alone achieve such a result.

With 3,500 men against 20,000 people, only more than 10 people were killed on their own side, but most of them were killed and captured.

Thinking that a general like himself could go down in history, Yuan Xiang's attitude towards Zhao Xu became more and more awe-inspiring.

"What is the general's crime?"

Zhao Xu looked at Yuan Xiang, who was pleading, helped him up with a smile, and said with relief:

"This is not the general's fault, but it is just that the death of the thief Shou Qu Li has not yet arrived. However, if a general is as loyal to the state as he is and brave enough to be brave, why worry about the instability of the rebels, and why not be afraid of Qu Li's death? ”

When Yuan Xiang heard this, he became more and more moved in his heart, and hugged his fists and said:

"Your Highness, when the army attacks Qingyuan County, please let the last general be the vanguard!"

"General Yuan, you're not kind!" As soon as Gao Yi heard that Yuan Xiang invited himself to be the vanguard, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Highness, the brothers in the Beijing camp all said that they want His Highness to understand that there are still real men in the Beijing camp, and I hope that the general will make a statement to His Highness and give them a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and wiped his eyes, and cried fakely:

"Your Highness, the young general Jingshan followed you when he suppressed the bandits, can't you have a new person and leave the old one behind!"

"You......"

Zhao Xu pointed to Gao Yi, who was crying with a handful of snot, glanced at Yuan Xiang, and couldn't help laughing.

The two generals competed for the lead, and Zhao Xu was happy to do this.

However, General Yuan Xiang is right, that Qingyuan County also needs to be taken as soon as possible.

Otherwise, with these more than 8,000 mouths to eat, the grain and grass in the army will not last for a few days.

"Tomorrow, let a few deputy generals and 4,000 soldiers stay in the camp to guard the prisoners. The rest of the people will follow my troops to Qingyuan County tomorrow! ”
