Just when Zhang Liang's army had to break through to the northeast because the boundary bridge was burned, Zhang Yan's army was engaged in a battle with Huangfu Song's army.

The offensive of the official army was not violent, Zhang Yan resisted with ease, and the two sides fought for half an hour, but Zhang Yan heard the scout report, saying that the official army had burned the boundary bridge, and Zhang Liang had led his troops to break through in the direction of Anping County in the northeast. So he ordered Zhang Liang's army of 10,000 to stay behind, and he also broke through to the direction of Anping County with 20,000 elites.

Huangfu Song was commanding the battle in Guangzong at this time, and when he saw Zhang Yan leading the army to break through, he smiled slightly, and immediately ordered the official army to launch a full-scale attack. After being left behind, Zhang Liangjun was not an elite in the first place, and he was resentful of Zhang Yan for abandoning them, and when he saw that the offensive of the official army was suddenly fierce, he fled one after another, rushing in all directions.

Huangfu Song knew that these were all abandoned miscellaneous soldiers, and those who escaped were the elite, so he did not entangle, and defeated these miscellaneous soldiers in a quarter of an hour, and then quickly pursued to the northeast.

Zhuang Shaoyou was taken aback when he saw the officials and soldiers burning the boundary bridge, Zhang Ning was still on the other side of the river, and it seemed that it was less dangerous to follow Zhang Liang, but he knew that this time Zhang Liang was probably more than lucky! In case Zhang Ning is involved, how can he be worthy of Zhang Jiao's entrustment? What's more, Zhang Ning has a lot of weight in his heart, and he already regards him as his own woman, so he can't give up no matter what!

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Shaoyou said a few words to Roger, and then led the cavalry to the northeast along the Qing River, and after more than two hours, it was dark. Zhuang Shaoyou found a place on the mountain, ordered a rest, raised a bonfire and began to eat, from morning to now the soldiers have been in a state of battle, so they are all hungry, take out the dry food and horse meat that have been prepared long ago and roast them on the fire and eat them.

Next to Roger's mood to be depressed as much as he wanted, tossing for a long time the bamboo basket to draw water was empty, thinking that he had made a fortune but he didn't know where to go, and now the camp was destroyed, the general Zhang Liang fled, the future was bleak, and his own people only brought a day's dry food, which Zhang Liang prepared in order to be prepared, or he would drink the northwest wind now.

But when people eat meat over there and eat dry food here, they feel very uncomfortable, and it is impossible to be cheeky to beg with others, not to mention that they can't eat enough these years, how can they have time to care about others? Roger sighed and buried himself in the dry food.

When Zhuang Shaoyou saw the situation on Roger's side, he sighed in his heart, called Qin Ling and asked, "Qin Ling, how much reserve do we have horse jerky?" ”

"General, don't worry, it's a lot, it's no problem to support it for a month, this thing is dried and very light, although it takes up a little space, but the brothers all hang the horse meat on skewers on their bodies, that is, it can be used as dry food, and when you eat it, you just need to run into the boiling water for a while, it is a big piece of meat! It can have an extra layer of armor, and it can keep warm in winter, and the most important thing is that when you have nothing to do, you can smell it and immediately feel a hundred times more energetic! ”

"Hehe, then let's do it, you go and send some to General Luo, it doesn't take too much, it's enough for them to eat for two days."

"General, how can this be done? This is the lifeblood of our cavalry battalion, how can we give it to them! When Qin Ling heard that he was going to give away horse meat, he suddenly became anxious, shook his head in opposition, and completely forgot his identity.

Zhuang Shaoyou looked at him like that, and his heart was funny, Qin Ling was the first chief he knew, he had always been very handy, and he was never ambiguous in carrying out his orders, but today he was talking so much nonsense in order to order horse meat?

It seems that I still underestimate the importance of food in the first year! If you have food, there will be people who come to you to eat and you will have power! If you have food, there will be a lot of ordinary people who will cling to you to carry out construction and military service for you! You have food, and you will take the initiative in fighting other princes!

For example, if you occupy a dangerous place, and then pile up a pile of grain, the other party can't fight, and if you don't fight, you have to withdraw, and the territory is yours. If you don't bite, you can disgust them to death just by being disgusted, no way, they can't afford it! As long as you don't make stupid mistakes and basically win steadily, what you fight is the economy, which is also the primary national strength in this era, and you are concerned about grain production and food defense.

For the fierce rebound of Qinling, it is completely understandable, everyone is hungry and afraid these days, and food, especially meat, is more expensive than life!

"Then I'll do it myself!" Zhuang Shaoyou's eyes rolled, and he pretended to be displeased and said to Qin Ling, when Qin Ling heard it, he was startled, came to his senses, and hurriedly went to do it.

While Roger was nibbling on dry food, Zhuang Shaoyou came over with a few people, each holding a large pile of horse jerky.

Zhuang Shaoyou said with a smile: "General Luo, this is a little bit of meaning for the brothers, and please don't dislike General Luo!" ”

Roger looked at these horse meats, and his heart was full of willingness, but he was still very puzzled, what did this guy do with horse meat for himself? Woo yourself? Is it necessary? How can the combat strength of the 1,000 cavalry of the people be able to look down on our 300 miscellaneous soldiers? So he opened his mouth and excused himself: "Thank you General Zhuang for your kindness, but this is General Zhuang's rations, how can there be any reason to give it to us, if we take it, our conscience will be disturbed!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled slightly: "General Luo has seen the outside, hasn't he?" Although we have just met, we have been on the battlefield twice together during the day, and we are brothers who have experienced life and death together, and if General Luo doesn't accept it, it will hurt the hearts of my brothers! ”

Roger listened to him with sincerity, and looked back at the brothers around him, and everyone looked at him with eager and pleading expressions. The consequences are very serious, it doesn't matter if it hurts the hearts of Zhuang Shaoyou and others, the important thing is that it will really hurt the hearts of his brothers, so he said with his heart horizontal: "Then I will be disrespectful!" Thank you, General Zhuang! ”

In the early morning of the next day, Zhuang Shaoyou and others got up very early, and after a hurried breakfast, they got on their horses and galloped northeast along the Qinghe River. The small wooden bridges he saw along the way were all burned down, and Zhuang Shaoyou was extremely angry and anxious, secretly hating this Huangfu Song was really ruthless, and he really planned to completely annihilate the Yellow Turban Army here, and he didn't know what happened to Zhang Ning now.

The group galloped on horseback for most of the day, and occasionally encountered some officers and soldiers scouts along the way, all of which were quickly eliminated with bows and arrows. The road was unimpeded, and when it was nearly ten minutes of dusk, Zhuang Shaoyou led the team to a place about 100 miles away from the boundary bridge and saw a stone bridge

Zhuang Shaoyou ordered everyone to stop and rest, sent someone to investigate, and reported that the stone bridge deck is not wide, only two horses can be paralleled at the same time, the bridge is about eighty steps long, there are officers and soldiers on both sides of the stone bridge, there are about five hundred people on this side, there are one thousand people on the opposite side, half of them are archers, and the rest are sword and shield hands, it seems to be a defense-based configuration, there is a small forest on the opposite side of the bridge five hundred steps, and on the other side of the bridge there is a small hill standing along the river.

Zhuang Shaoyou thought for a while, discussed with Roger again, and then ordered the soldiers to rest for half an hour, eat some dry food, and prepare for battle.

Half an hour later, Zhuang Shaoyou discussed tactics with Roger.

Zhuang Shaoyou said: "Later, I will take people around this grove, we will attack the officers and soldiers at the bridgehead at the same time in two ways, you first attract their attention, and then I will suddenly kill from the woods, scatter them, I will directly lead people across the bridge to assault the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, and the ones here will be handed over to you, remember to bring the arrows of the officers and soldiers." ”

Roger was still very convinced of Zhuang Shaoyou's command ability, and with the incident of last night, he had a good impression of Zhuang Shaoyou, so he didn't object, and they were ready to go.

A quarter of an hour later, Roger led his three hundred cavalry to charge at the bridgehead in two columns, dozens of men in the vanguard were holding shields to defend against the opponent's bows and arrows, as soon as the cavalry team of three hundred people appeared, the officers and soldiers at the bridgehead were immediately vigilant, and quickly set up a formation at the bridgehead under the command of a thousand-commander to defend the cavalry, with the sword and shield hands in front and the archers in the back, bending the bow and arrows.

The commander on the other side of the bridge saw that the enemy was attacking and was hesitating to come to support, but when he saw that the 500 officers and soldiers on this side quickly set up a formation, he mainly defended his position despite the changes.

When Roger's team was about to arrive, Zhuang Shaoyou led the crowd out and rushed towards the weak position of the flank of the officers and troops who had just set up the formation. This time, instead of using a three-stage formation, a long snake formation, Zhuang Shaoyou and Zhou Cang charged at the front, both of them were right-handed weapons and left-handed shields, and the cavalry behind was also a follow-up charge of two people in a row.

The officers and soldiers at the head of the bridge were shocked, and hurriedly divided half of the people to change the formation, and the commander on the other side of the bridge also immediately sent two hundred people to support, and a part of the officers and troops at the bridgehead collided with Roger's men and horses, and they were slightly shaken, and the remaining half was changing formations, just put on a good posture, and as a result, Zhuang Shaoyou took a hundred Xiliang good horses as the striker and killed, and the formation of the officers and soldiers was scattered with a slash.

The two hundred officers and troops on the other side of the bank had just arrived here to support, and before they had time to join the battle, they saw that the officers and troops on this side had collapsed, so they went back in one go, but unfortunately the bridge was too narrow, and only three people could be allowed to go together, Zhuang Shaoyou and Zhou Cang ignored the rout, but followed these retreating officers and soldiers to the other side.

The commander on the opposite bank was shocked, and hurriedly organized his subordinates to set up a defensive formation, but unfortunately at this time Zhuang Shaoyou's men and horses had been mixed with the officers and soldiers on the bridge, Zhuang Shaoyou deliberately wrapped these people and rushed to the opposite bank, the commander hesitated again and again, and finally decided to release the arrows, Zhuang Shaoyou and others had already rushed the officers and soldiers to the riverbank

A wave of bows and arrows that were not too dense was blocked a lot by Zhou Cang and Zhuang Shaoyou, and Qin Ling and the others in the back were not vegetarians, but more than a dozen officers and soldiers in front were shot, fell on the bridge deck, and then were trampled into meat sauce by iron hooves. Zhuang Shaoyou and Zhou Cang quickly broke through the stone bridge with lightning speed, impacting the formation of the opposing officers and troops, and in less than half an hour, the battle ended.

Roger's men were killed and wounded in the dozens, and nearly three hundred remained. Zhuang Shaoyou's cavalry battalion killed nearly 100 people in two battles yesterday, and lost more than 10 people today, leaving about 100 cavalry, Zhuang Shaoyou sighed in his heart, mourned for a moment of silence for the fallen brothers, and then commanded his men to clean up the battlefield, focusing on recovering bows and arrows.

After a while, Roger also brought people over, with some joy on his face, and attacked the narrow stone bridge with similar troops, and the final battle loss ratio was 1:20!

However, since yesterday, he has witnessed many miracles, Roger and his subordinates are very respectful of Zhuang Shaoyou, but thinking of the rootless duckweed now, his heart is confused, and he is determined to follow Zhuang Shaoyou before finding Zhang Liang, if he can't find it, it's better.
