The sunset casts a bright red glow that fills the sky, and the blood on the ground is against the backdrop! Cao Xiu commanded the Cao army with the command flag in his hand!

Most of the former troops were the Qiang cavalry of the same department, and the yellow attack was captured, and the command of the wounded commander of the war was even more out of order!

The Qiang cavalry saw Cao Jun in the wheat field and rushed into the wheat field to fight Cao Jun without hesitation! Cao Xiu had already arranged, and the Cao army was in a team of 1,000 people, and gradually shot arrows under the command of the lieutenant and deputy general.

Cao Jun took advantage of the wheat field, when the first thousand people stood up and shot arrows, they fell down after shooting a wave, and the Qiang cavalry rushed to the place where Cao Jun stood up just now, but they were close to the rear and suddenly stood up on the two wings and shot arrows together! Then he fell down.

Qiang Yi had not been trained, and he didn't know what to do, but when he saw that there was no one in front of him, there were people on both wings chasing after him. After the Cao army ambushed, it would scatter in all directions, and Qiang Di killed the position of the Cao army on the two wings just now, and suddenly the crossbow in the wheat field was strong, and it shot to the place where the Cao army stood just now.

The scattered Cao army gathered again and stood up to shoot arrows! The Qiang cavalry who accidentally touched Cao Jun was quickly stabbed and shot to death by Cao Jun! Then transfer!

The Qiang cavalry relied on a large number of people, and thousands of cavalry outflanked from both flanks, but the result was that they fell into the pits that had been dug on both sides, and were shot to death by the Cao army who was ambushed near the pit!

Cao Xiu planned everything in advance! The attack of the Cao army on the battlefield was under the command of the order flag in Cao Xiu's hand, and there were people on all sides of the Cao army who specially watched the instructions of Cao Xiu's order flag and issued orders! Qiang Di Tu has martial arts that can't be displayed.

Cao General Xue Qiao looked at the battlefield and said with a smile: "The thief army is really unscrupulous, and he is complacent about winning the upper hexagram, he doesn't know how to hide his body, and he is killing himself!" ”

Cao Xiu was not in such a good mood, he kept waving the command flag in his hand, and sighed: "It is gratifying to ambush the thief army, but I thought that the Shanggua would not be breached, but unexpectedly, the city was broken and the whole army was destroyed!"

The scouts also heard that a fortress had been breached, and the total loss of nearly 7,000 soldiers had been lost! There is no counting of the bases! It is equivalent to saying that the hexagram soldiers have made bait! Hateful! ”

Xue Qiao restrained his smile and said, "General, who would have known that Lou Wei would not be able to last for three days relying on the city wall!" It is reasonable to say that the cavalry was defeated in the field battle, and the attack on the fortification still could not be stopped, except for Lou Wei's incompetence, what explanation! How could the general know in advance!

If we expose our bodies to support the Shanggua, even if we defeat the thief army, the cavalry will be far away, and we will not be able to help the thief army at all! ”

Cao Xiu nodded secretly, and said in his heart: "I originally wanted to come in advance to do a good job of ambushing, and wait for the thieves to move troops to loot the Shanggua after they have plundered Xicheng, and I will wait here for the rabbit to ambush the thief army!"

I didn't want to hit the thief army by mistake, so I attacked the hexagram first, but I bumped into it on the way! How can I miss such a good opportunity, I will annihilate the thief army and make the thief army fearful! And then take down Longyou! ”

Cao Xiu was thinking about it, and Xue Qiao asked, "The general can actually know in advance that the thief army will take a path!" ”

Cao Xiu said: "In order to anticipate the enemy first, the path here is open, which is conducive to the galloping of cavalry, and our army is weakly garrisoned!" If I were a thief, I would choose this path first!

Having said that, I don't dare to conclude that the thief army will go this way! Fortunately, the thief army won the hexagram and marched arrogantly! Find out exactly what the thieves are doing! There's plenty of time to set up, too! The arrogant army will be defeated! ”

Xue Qiao admired: "Fortunately, General Lai had already sent troops in advance, and he received a request for help halfway, and ambushed the thief army on the way back!" Otherwise, who can catch the thief cavalry! ”

Cao Xiu listened to it quite usefully, glanced at Xue Qiao and said: "Speaking of which, I think of one thing, our army is full of strongholds in Tianshui, and the thief army can kill the upper hexagram without alarming our surveillance, even if there is a reason for dark, the main thing must be that there must be people who are familiar with geography to bypass our surveillance!"

However, the thief army never thought that it would still be mistaken by the people who relied on it! The thief army judged that our Ji County reinforcements could not meet the itinerary of the hexagram before they would act like this! ”

Xue Qiao smiled: "This is called God to help me not to help the thief!" ”

The corners of Cao Xiu's mouth lifted and he stopped talking. The east rode separately, and Xue Qiao said loudly: "It's Zhang Pu who sent someone!" ”

Someone dismounted and reported: "General Qiyu, most of the entire army of the thief army still hasn't moved!" Decent people search the wheat fields! General Zhang Pu said that if you wait, you will be found sooner or later! ”

Cao Xiu said heavily: "Keep waiting, don't take the initiative!" Hold them back! The thief army is leading the general! The thief army searches for soldiers and horses as much as possible, and can't avoid using the wheat field to dispose of it in batches, don't leak your shape! When I annihilate the thief army, the front army will rush to attack the thief army together! Go ahead! "Men got on their horses and left.

Xue Qiao said: "General, I will lead the cavalry to attack the thief army, in order to destroy the thief army as soon as possible and support Zhang Pu!" ”

Cao Xiu nodded, and Xue Qiao led three thousand cavalry out on horseback and rushed to besiege the Han army!

By the time Xue Qiao joined the war, the Qiang cavalry had already shot down more than 2,000 people, and the remaining Qiang cavalry were scattered, fighting on their own!

The front army was in danger, but the rear army seemed quiet, and Cheng Ji refused Moth's request to support the front army, because he found that there were wheat fields on both sides of the road ahead. There is no reason why the front army encountered an ambush, and the rear army was safe and sound!

Now that the Cao army has not launched an attack, it must be because the troops are insufficient or have not entered the encirclement of the Cao army! Cheng Ji ordered to set fire to the wheat fields and force out the ambushed Cao army!

The Han army lit torches and began to burn the wheat field, but they didn't want the fire to burn for a while and slowly extinguished it! Cheng Ji checked and found out that the wheat field had been irrigated with water, and the soil was wet! The wheat fields were harvested regularly, and the fire was extinguished when it reached the breaking point!

Cheng Ji came up with a terrible thought: I'm afraid this Cao army didn't just ambush here, look at this posture for at least a day!

Cheng Ji sent two hundred Han cavalry to surround the wheat fields on both sides of the direction of the Wangqian army to search, and told the five of them to act together, pay attention to their feet to avoid stumbling!

Two hundred cavalry then searched! Cheng Ji said to Jiang Wei and Moth: "Boyo, leader, you two lead people to divide the cars into two teams and line them up on both sides of the road!" "Two of them take orders!

Half an hour later, sure enough, the Han army fell down one after another, and some of the Han soldiers didn't see it well, turned around and ran back, and were also shot down by arrows shot out of nowhere!

Cheng Ji shouted: "The place where the soldiers fell is where Cao Jun is!" Listen to my orders, throw every bag of wheat into the wheat field, and set the grain cart on fire! ”

Jiang Wei and Moth Cover acted quickly, the grain truck ignited the wheat field, and the bags of grain thrown into the wheat field also became incendiary! A fire broke out in a wheat field!

Cheng Ji said to the left and right: "Shout and rush in to support the former soldiers!" Shout loudly! ”

Cao General Zhang Pu, who was ambushed in the wheat field, saw that the Han army saw through it, and the Han army shouted to support it, seeing that he could not stop the Han army, he hurriedly showed his figure and ordered a strong attack and a hard crossbow to shoot together!

Cheng Ji pretending to support the front army is a false move, and annihilating the ambushed Cao army is the reality! Cao Jun stood up, and Jiang Wei and Moth Shasai quickly pushed the grain cart to kill Cao Jun.

Zhang Pu commanded archery, not wanting to be blocked by the grain cart that opened the road in front, and wanted to hide and lie down, the Han army ignited the grain cart, and a large wheat field was ignited as the grain cart went forward!

The Han army was about to rush in front of Cao Jun's eyes, but the grain cart suddenly fell into the pit, and dozens of knights did not have time to collect their horses and fell in. Everyone shouted that it was not good, there was a trap!

Cao Jun's crossbow had already measured the distance, and when the Han army heard it, the crossbow arrows flew in! Cao Jun's bow and arrow shoot indiscriminately! The advance of the Han army is blocked!

Jiang Wei ordered to retreat into the pit with a grain bag, step over the pit, and continue to kill Cao Jun!

The moth blocked the beginning and did not react, and the Cao army killed hundreds of people with random arrows, and the advance was blocked! Cheng Ji sent someone to tell how to fill the trap before passing!

Zhang Pu is not a famous general, and the cavalry is at a loss when he kills him, and it is useless to arrange the moves to deal with the cavalry to himself!

The 6,000 Qiang cavalry of the front army suffered heavy casualties, and Xue Qiao led the cavalry of the Cao army to annihilate the Cao army one by one! Fortunately, the Qiang cavalry are all from the same tribe, desperately covering the breakthrough of the same tribe!

Hundreds of Qiang cavalry took advantage of the chaos to protect and join up with Cheng Ji, who had eliminated Zhang Pu's troops. After Cheng Ji knew that the front army had suffered a crushing defeat, he ordered an immediate diversion and retreat! Regardless of the soldiers who are still fighting inside and have not yet broken through!

Fa Tong felt sorry for his own tribe's cavalry, and begged Cheng Ji to help meet the Qiang cavalry, Cheng Yi said sharply: "The leader is still here, are you afraid that there is no one in the tribe?" Besides, General Huang Raid was captured, and thousands of Han troops were also there, so I didn't want to save it! The situation is forced to do it as a last resort! The cavalry of the Cao army is entangled, and we can't go! Retreat now! ”

Vatong didn't dare to say anything more, and retreated with Chengji! Later, Xue Qiao caught up, and Zhang Pu, who saved his life, dared to come out to meet. Xue Qiao wanted to chase after him, and Cao Xiu sent someone to retrieve Xue Qiao.

After all, there are only 3,000 cavalry left in Cao's army, and Cao Xiu brought it out after cutting first, so it's safe! After annihilating 6,000 cavalry, nearly 5,000 horses were captured, which can be described as a great victory!

Zhang Pu came to plead guilty, and Cao Xiu sighed after hearing Zhang Pu tell the story: "It's not your fault, who would have thought that someone would use the grain and grass of the lifeblood of the three armies to open the way!" You have a lot to do with the thieves so that I can destroy them! "Zhang Pu Baixie!

After Cao Xiu observed the battlefield of the battle with the Han army in detail, he returned to Ji County!

Cheng Yi withdrew to the camp and was hit by four arrows in his body, and Cheng Yi hurriedly invited a military doctor to treat his injuries!

If the same tribe is lost, and the leader dies in battle, it will be too great a blow to this cavalry that was originally formed by the tribe! If you shoot an arrow into your body and take it out, the arrow will cause a bigger wound than when the arrow goes in, and if you don't handle it properly, you can easily die! The military doctor took the arrows much more smoothly this time! Cheng Ji was very strange.

The military doctor explained: "Vatong wears two layers of Shu brocade, and the Shu brocade is wrapped around the arrow, and the Shu brocade around the wound can be taken out, and the wound will not be torn!" It's weird! Vatong seems to have suffered four arrows in his body, and the wound is properly treated, and he can recuperate! ”

Cheng Ji visited Vatong, and Vatong was very depressed! Cheng Ji now feels sorry for Vatong, after this battle, Fatong has lost the strength to match other tribes! Cheng Ji's persuasion is not good, it is not good, it is very embarrassing!

Suddenly, a man opened the tent and entered! Cheng Ji saw that it was Huang Quan, and Huang Quan saw Cheng Ji and smiled: "Ji Ran, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'll talk to you later!" I'll talk to the chieftain of Van Tong! You're waiting for me outside! Cheng Ji withdrew from the big tent.

An hour later, Huang Quan went out to talk to Cheng Ji, who was waiting outside. Huang Quan saw Cheng Ji looking at the tent and said, "Ji Ran doesn't have to care!" Vatong has already made sense, and when the time comes, I will allocate a piece of grassland near Tianshui for him to recuperate! Protect his tribe! ”

glanced at the back Huang Quan and whispered: "Ji Ran actually did a good thing, using Cao Jun to eliminate Qiang's strength and eliminate hidden dangers!" Take the opportunity to let the same tribe go to Tianshui County to live with the people of the city, and the threat is small! ”

Cheng Ji was surprised: "Isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" ”

Huang Quan sneered and said: "You don't want to do the history of the state and county thorns, what you think is different from me!" Don't talk about it! Ji Ran, you defeated Cao Jun greatly, and then the defeat could have offset the merits, but in order to appease these Qiang leaders, you have been wronged! ”

Cheng Ji immediately understood: "Where is this, of course you are here to lead us!" I'm just nowhere to recharge! ”

Huang Quan smiled: "To be honest, Boyo told me about you!" Well done, the king will definitely reward you when you go back! ”

Cheng Ji smiled wryly: "Don't be sarcastic, brother!" ”

Huang Quan summoned everyone. Huang Quan encouraged all the clan leaders to help each other! Pretended to ask Cheng Ji about the crime of defeat! He commanded a hundred rods. Everyone hurriedly pleaded and changed to twenty rods! Removed from official positions and made meritorious contributions!

Later, Vatong came forward with an injury to express his determination, saying that he would not hesitate to fight for his life for the sake of the big man! When the other leaders saw that they were like this, they followed suit!

In fact, everyone understands that they are on a thief ship, and they can't help themselves! Huang Quan transferred Vatong to Qishan Fort to recuperate from his injuries, and his only remaining warriors of the Vatong tribe followed.

Huang Quan brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, Liang Ang, Oh He, and 10,000 people were not damaged, and Cheng Ji brought back 5,000 soldiers and horses, and there were still 20,000 combined! Huang Quan looked at the grain and grass, and the grain and grass harvested by Liang Ang and others were for everyone to use for five days!

Huang Quan doesn't want to go on like this! He ordered the troops to be divided into two routes, and he led Zhang Xiu, Zhang Wei, Liang Ang, Ou He, Yao Ge, Dai Wuzhi and others to Nan'an to attack and harass Cao's army in order to burn all the wheat fields.

All the generals were opposed: as soon as the wheat field was burned, the Han army ran out of food earlier than the Cao army! The Han army has no logistics!

Huang Quan insisted: "It is precisely because this is a lose-lose method that Cao Jun thinks that we dare not use us and want to do the opposite!" The defeat of the hexagram has proved the strength of Cao Jun, Cao Jun will not sit still, and no one can predict the next situation! We can't go head-to-head with Cao Jun, burning the wheat field is the most effective way to cut off grain! I'm going to burn grain!

As for the grain and grass, Cheng Qi went to harvest the wheat fields in Xicheng! We have to open up a grain road for ourselves! Jincheng sent me a letter asking for help, Gongzi, Chen will solve it! The chiefs of the tribes will also send letters to the tribes, and the cattle and sheep will be used as military rations! Of course, the cost is all on your own! Just when I buy it at the regular price! It's not a problem to last for three months! ”

Han Jiang felt that it was feasible and stopped talking! The leaders complained in their hearts, Huang Quan did this point, first set their soldiers and horses to block the Cao army, and after blocking the discussion, they discussed the attack on the Cao army.

Now I still have to tribal cattle and sheep, it's really a loss! Everyone didn't dare not take it, in case the Han army was defeated, they wouldn't be able to get anything back! The leaders scolded Huang Quan in their hearts!
