With an order, a group of seven or eight hundred black-clothed and masked men and horses quietly set off, began to act along a very deserted mountain road, and quietly covered up the guards of Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang.

Merely.

In the eyes of a few people at the summit, the appearance of this army of soldiers and horses is very ridiculous; Yang Chuan's face did not have any expression of joy, but gradually became solemn.

"No, why are you so small?"

Yang Chuan fumbled in the deerskin bag for a while, and took out a bamboo tube with a length of a foot, and one end of the bamboo tube was covered with a crystal clear piece of 'crystal stone', which looked very weird.

He put the bamboo tube in front of his eyes, opened one eye and closed the other, and glanced around the valleys, dense forests and wastelands in the distance, with a strange look on his face: "Hey, why did Huo Quai's fool come here?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions on the faces of several people began to become extraordinarily exciting.

Especially Cao Xiang, he jumped up from the ground violently, snatched the bamboo tube from Yang Chuan's hand and put it in front of him, and muttered a little vaguely in his mouth: "Let me see what that dog day is doing." ”

"Two thousand feather forest troops, all of them were dispatched?"

"Yang Chuan, what are you guys doing? How did they all become old yin π? ”

Yang Chuan's eyes flashed, and he said quietly: "When I left Chang'an City, the emperor sent a message, asking a few of us to accompany him to play a play for others to see, and I don't know what he is going to do." ”

Cao Xiang turned his head, glanced at Yang Chuan thoughtfully, turned his head and continued to scan the distance: "My uncle is confused, I am his nephew and son-in-law, if there is anything you can't say to me, how can you hook up with your son-in-law?" ”

Liu Man listened happily on the side, and pounced on Yang Chuan and pecked him on the face: "MUA!"

Yang Chuan ignored the feverish princess, but slowly took out a few bamboo tubes from the deerskin bag and stuffed one into each person's hand: "This is a new gadget made by Benhou, I named it a telescope, everyone try it to see if it is good." ”

So, several people held 'telescopes' and stood at a high place to observe this battle at the foot of the giant peak.

Saw.

Well, I saw that in the valley and dense forest more than ten miles away, there were five soldiers and horses hidden; Among them, the black-clothed masked soldiers and horses that appeared first had already rushed to the defensive formation and began to accelerate and charge.

The other four armies remained silent.

Especially Huo Quzhi, who was hiding in a pine forest, and the orphans of the two thousand feather forests under his command were like a silent stone, silent and unmoving, like an indifferent pig-killing knife.

As for the remaining three soldiers and horses, listening to the earth-shattering sound of killing outside, they began to become a little nervous.

"That army of soldiers and horses should belong to Liu An, the king of Huainan," Cao Xiang pointed to a group of soldiers and horses and said with a smile: "That old boy is very good at thieves, and I don't want to be a bad deed to my uncle this time." ”

Yang Chuan didn't see it that way.

As far as he knows, Liu An, the king of Huainan, is a famous man of the Han Dynasty on the surface, he writes good articles, and his brushstrokes are a must, and he has always been low-key and gloomy, how can he be easily hooked?

Liu Ling is the same.

The soldiers and horses they sent out to intercept and kill the marquis and princess of the Han Dynasty, if people can see the details at a glance, wouldn't it be tantamount to a blatant rebellion and tearing the skin with Liu Che?

It's impossible to think about.

Then, there is only one possibility, that is, someone wants to blame Liu An, the king of Huainan, and put a basin on the head of the prince surnamed Liu, who has always wanted to be the emperor but was suppressed by Liu Che.

Who would do that? Who has such great energy that they can mobilize nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses at one time?

Gongsun Hong?

Yang Chuan groaned a few times and asked casually, "Cao Xiang, have you seen Liu An, the king of Huainan?" ”

Cao Xiang nodded: "I've seen it a few times, it looks like a fairy wind with big sleeves fluttering, and it looks like an old color batch." ”

Yang Chuan scolded with a smile: "The fairy wind bones and big sleeves are old critics?" ”

Cao Xiang smiled: "Didn't you say that the same sex attracts and the opposite sex repels each other, Ben Hou wanted to beat his nose when he saw the old thief." ”

Yang Chuan: "It's the same sex that repels each other, and the opposite sex attracts." ”

"Anyway, there are not many balls," Cao Xiang said with a very humble smile: "Do you know that the family style of the old Liu family is not good, and those princes and kings are seven or eight times out of ten having an affair with their sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law, and daughters-in-law." ”

"Even, this Huainan King Liu An, I heard that he had a leg with his sister when he was young......"

Cao Xiang's mouth is basically unobstructed in front of Yang Chuan, and he has always talked nonsense, without the slightest scruples; However, listening to Liu Man's ears, it naturally became right and wrong.

"Cao Xiang, if you talk nonsense again, be careful that this palace will kill you!"

Liu Man observed the battle situation at the foot of the mountain with a telescope, and muttered and scolded: "My Yangchuan Xiaolangjun is a simple person, white and flawless, unparalleled in the world, and they are all taught by Cao Xiang and Huo Quai. ”

"That's not right."

"Yang Chuan Xiaolangjun, those soldiers and horses are not the subordinates of Liu An, the king of Huainan!"

Liu Man suddenly said: "Look at you, are those black-clothed masked people very good at riding and archery?" Moreover, they also have Takahashi saddles and stirrups, aren't they the secret weapons of the Northern Army and the Yulin Army? ”

"Also, among the other three troops of soldiers and horses, there are some men who are long and wide in the upper body, short and curved in the lower body, and sit on the back of the horse and lean back naturally, and obviously are not only very good at riding and shooting, but also very good at the art of slashing with the saber."

"I have heard that the Huns are tall and sturdy, and their upper bodies are long and wide, and their lower bodies are short and curved, but when they sit on horseback, they often like to lean forward, and are good at charging into battle and shooting with bows and arrows......"

After listening to Liu Man's analysis, several people nodded yes.

Under careful observation, it is indeed somewhat different from the Huns; Of course, it is not the same as the Northern Army, the Yulin Army, and even any border army of the Han Dynasty.

"Could it be Donghu?" Cao Xiang frowned and said: "Donghu has close contacts with the Huns, and it can even be said that they are the same group of wolves. ”

Yang Chuan shook his head and said directly: "It's Dongyi." ”

Several people's brows furrowed slightly, and the expressions on everyone's faces also became solemn.

Dongyi is an ancient name, in fact, the real country of Dongyi has long disappeared, and there is no trace of it at all; In the current Han Empire, only a few small tribes along the eastern coast occupied a large number of bays, islands, peninsulas, etc., and if they were unwilling to submit to the Han Empire's indoctrination, they were called 'Dongyi'.

There are many outlaws in Dongyi, this is the consensus of the government and the opposition in the Han Empire.

Yang Chuan knew that the so-called 'Dongyi' at the moment was just some pirates who claimed to be Dongyi people in order to put gold on their faces;

"Those who can mobilize the dead soldiers of Dongyi, as far as Ben Hou knows, I am afraid that there are only three or five people in this world," Cao Xiang said thoughtfully: "One of them is my uncle, he has the help of Cui Jiu, the big Changmen, and his hands are very long and deep, we can't think of other people's power at all." ”

"There is another person, that is me Cao Xiang."

"As for how many people there are, there are those surnamed Kong, those surnamed Gongsun, and those surnamed Wang......"

Cao Xiang's words were very explicit, but several people at the scene did not react, after all, under Yang Chuan's suppression, even Liu Man did not dare to squeak, let alone a few others.

"It's unlikely that the surname Kong," Cao Xiang continued: "Those scholars look very powerful, they can say that they can fight, and they are also very good at demagoguery, but in their bones, they are all soft dishes, and Ben Hou can't look down on those guys." ”

"As for the Wang family, since my uncle Tian Wei died, over the years, there have been basically few characters who can jump, and they can't make any waves, so they can be ruled out."

"Then, the Gongsun family is left."

Cao Xiang turned his head to look at Yang Chuan very proudly: "How is it, has Benhou's analysis and judgment been in place?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded, and said with a straight face: "It sounds like that." ”

Cao Xiang smiled, ignored Yang Chuan's sarcasm, and simply sat down and began to eat and drink, ignoring this strange battle at the foot of the mountain, as if he was an outsider.

For Cao Datou's mentality, even Yang Chuan was very envious.

Eat, sleep, sleep, eat, think things very clearly, pretend to be a little gray rabbit, people all over the world will say: 'Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang, in addition to the poems and articles are done well, the rest is that people are stupid and have a lot ......of money'

Yang Chuan also sat down and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, sit down to eat meat and drink wine, anyway, as long as our people don't suffer, they can get it." ”

Seeing this, several people had no choice but to sit down......

……

A not-so-wonderful 'assassination battle', after a stick of incense, finally a little bit interesting.

Four troops of unknown origin, divided into four directions, surrounded the 3,000 people under the command of Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang, and began to charge under a secret and tacit order.

These teams have different outfits and tactics.

However, there is a common characteristic, that is, the combat style is extremely ferocious, as if these guys are not afraid of death one by one, facing powerful and dense crossbow arrows, and still maintain a backward posture, giving people a very strange sense of oppression.

Of course, this group of men and horses led by Yang Chuan and several people, although they are called tribes, servants, grooms, etc., are actually mostly veterans of a hundred battles, nearly half of which are sent by Princess Pingyang to protect Cao Xiang, in the face of four cavalry twice as large as themselves, not only are they not afraid of cowardice, but they are each bravely taking the lead, with bows and crossbows and arrows in their hands, and quickly harvesting the lives of the enemy.

After more than twenty breaths, after paying an extremely heavy price, the four centaurs finally rushed to the front eleven or twelve zhang of the defensive formation.

The speed of the war horse has also reached its extreme peak.

Between each other, you can also see each other's faces, clothes, and expressions, and you can also hear the rapid gasping of war horses.

In the era of cold weapons, one of the advantages of cavalry is the force of the collision in the face of the defensive formation, and the defensive formation posed by the ordinary soldiers will not help at all, and it will be like paper paste, and it will be directly torn open a few holes.

The four cavalry rushed forward violently, and let out a roar and shout in unison.

Fifteen zhang, nine zhang, seven zhang, five zhang.

Suddenly, when the cavalry rushing to the front was about to crash into the defensive formation, a golden drum suddenly sounded in the large array, and after the sound of metal impact, a slope suddenly appeared on the way of the cavalry charge.

The slope is not long, only five or six feet.

However, the slope was covered with white iron spikes, like a hideous and terrifying wall, and it was set diagonally in front of the defensive formation, forming a terrible line of defense.

The horse slammed into it, and before it could let out a wail, it was wounded by a spike, and after leaving a trail of flesh on the strange metal slope, it rolled straight down, and was trampled into a puddle of mud by the horses that followed.

The fate of the cavalry was even more tragic.

The spikes on the slope were three or four inches long, and the horses would be cut into a blur of flesh and blood and suffer heavy injuries when they hit it, not to mention that there were no decent cavalrymen in iron or leather armor......

"The wind is tight, pull it!"

After seven or eight breaths, when the four cavalry suffered an inexplicable loss, they suffered heavy losses, and seven or eight hundred horsemen and horses crashed into the fine iron thorny slope and lost their lives.

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound.

The ground trembled slightly.

The silent mountain forest began to shake, and large clouds of snow fell from the tall trees, and they were all fluttering, which was very beautiful; However, it was undoubtedly a big surprise for the four cavalry that had lost their troops.

These people, who seem to have been through a lot of fighting, can quickly judge from this movement that there are hoplites behind them.

"Northern Army!"

"We've been fooled!"

Someone roared angrily and commanded the cavalry to flee towards a mountain forest, but before they had run out of the land for two or three miles, they saw from a distance that on the only passage, a cavalry with bright armor was very quietly arranged, blocking their way.

"Feather Forest Army!"

"It's Huo Quai, go away!"

The four cavalry quickly turned their horses' heads and fled due west, but there was no doubt that they were blocked by the silent hoplites of the Northern Army.

In the era of the Han Empire, the cavalry of the Huns was terrible, but when they encountered the real elite infantry, they were never willing to face the enemy head-on, because those soldiers in iron armor were the real terrible opponents, even if the five hundred elite infantry were placed in formation, and the three or five thousand light cavalry were helpless.

The so-called 'one Han and five Hu' is about the comparison of the combat power of the elite infantry of the Han army and the Hun light cavalry, rather than cavalry against cavalry.

As a result, the next battle was very boring.

Anyway, it was a one-sided massacre, and there was nothing to look at, Yang Chuan and Cao Xiang had no interest in watching the battle at all, sitting on the snow eating meat and drinking, and it looked very scattered.

On another mountain peak, Cui Jiu, the big Nagato with his hands in his sleeves, was half-squinted, looking indifferently at the massacre at the foot of the mountain, with little emotional fluctuations on his face and under his eyes.

The four soldiers and horses of unknown origin, under the combined efforts of the Northern Army and the Yulin Army, had no resistance at all, just like harvesting wheat grass, they were poked to death one by one and their heads were cut off.

"Not a single live mouth?"

Occasionally, Cao Xiang glanced at the 'battlefield' at the foot of the mountain with a farsighted glass, and frowned slightly: "It's better to leave a few alive mouths to torture and interrogate the mastermind behind it." ”

Yang Chuan took a small sip of wine, and said with a gentle smile: "Interrogation what?" ”

"Haven't you heard that sometimes the words of the dead are more effective than the words of the living?"
