Carefully walk through the middle section, still safe and sound.

Tian Chengdang said to the deputy general with a smile: "This Pingwu army looks like this, if it were me, even if I guessed that we might not go here, but leave two spies here to observe, or leave a small army to block first."

If we are discovered, it is a good idea to either send the spies back and report to us, or if the small army blocks us first so that the large army can come to reinforce us.

This Pingwu army actually doesn't care about it directly, so it seems that the general who leads the troops on the other side is probably just a person who talks on paper, and it is not enough to filter! ”

The adjutant general also smiled and said:

"I heard that these people were recruited from the refugees by King Yun's side, and they were originally just some food thrown in the field, where they have undergone some professional training, and have been taught by veterans.

Now that they can keep the army from collapsing, I am afraid it has already taken a lot of their strength. ”

Tian Cheng had a relaxed smile on his face, and laughed: "In this way, this time we can win easily if we want to, and we won the first battle, how can we say that the Zhao family has to give us more rewards?" ”

"That's natural, how can the brothers give them their lives without giving money?" The lieutenant hurriedly chimed in.

In the middle of the conversation.

Suddenly!

"Report!"

A hurried voice sounded, and the next moment a soldier galloped back from the front on a fast horse, came to the two of them and bowed his hand and said, "General, five miles ahead, the enemy has found a horse!" ”

"What?!"

Tian Li and the deputy general were shocked when they heard this!

Just said that the other party was not ambushed, and the kung fu man who blinked in the blink of an eye came, this is specifically to slap his face!

But that's not the most important thing, since the other party's scout horse has been discovered, isn't it very likely that the other party is ambushing here?

Thinking of this, Tian Li immediately ordered loudly: "Immediately order the whole army to stop advancing and form a defensive formation!" ”

Brush Brush Brush!

With an order, the hearts of the Zhao Jiajun, who had just relaxed their mood, were raised.

They all immediately stopped, put out a defensive formation with weapons in hand and listened to Shangguan's orders, and watched vigilantly at the cliffs on both sides with weapons in hand!

At this time, the adjutant general found a loophole, and immediately stopped Tian Li, who was about to lead the troops to retreat, and said: "General, don't panic, although you have found the other party's probe horse now, have you forgotten it, general?" We also lined up a small group of people to investigate the situation on both sides of the cliff.

They are much deeper than we are going to advance, and now that they have not detected any enemy, it means that they have not set up ambushes on either side, or have not set up ambushes on the current stretch of road, so we don't need to worry so much. ”

Hearing this, Tian Li also reacted, yes!

Although he found the other party's scouting horse, the manpower he sent out did not report that someone had set up an ambush on the cliffs on both sides, and he didn't have to worry about being ambushed.

Can...... And what's going on with the Tanma?

Tian Li's eyes looked at his own lieutenant general, who had worked together for many years, Tian Li gave him a look, and the lieutenant immediately knew his thoughts, and immediately proposed: "Let the vanguard army go out more and farther, and find out the situation ahead as soon as possible."

In addition, notifying the spies on the cliff face will also expand the scope of exploration.

When the specific news comes back, we will decide whether to leave or stay, and now we just stay where we are.

We can't be frightened away by the slightest movement made by the other party, otherwise if the Zhao family discovers the general, you will inevitably be branded as a cowardly, cowardly and incompetent impression, which is not good! ”

After hearing this, Tian Li felt that what he said was quite reasonable, and when he nodded in response, he immediately sent someone to inform the spies on the cliff wall and the vanguard army walking in front of them.

And the large army of the Zhao family army stopped, but at this time, everyone's hearts were nervous, staring at the cliffs on both sides at all times, and their hearts were extremely vigilant!

Soon, word of the Vanguard and the spies on the cliff came back.

Under their investigation, they finally found out the specific situation in front, the spies on the cliff wall did not find anything, the front was still empty, and there was no ambush set up by the Ping Wa army there.

But when the vanguard came to the exit near the Rift Cliffs, the spies spotted the enemy brigade at the exit!

"What? They blocked the exit? How many of them are there? ”

Hearing that the other party was actually blocked at the exit, instead of ambushing on the cliffs on both sides, Tian Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

But then he knew that the opposite side led the army to block the exit, and the heart that had just been put down suddenly suddenly lifted up again!

The returning Tanma immediately replied: "After a rough calculation, the number of troops blocked at the exit by the other party is about 4,000 people, all of whom are foot soldiers!" ”

"About 4,000 people, and all of them are foot soldiers?"

Hearing this, Tian Li was so surprised that he almost didn't react.

Although this rift cliff is indeed a dangerous place, the main danger is on the cliffs on both sides, and if there are people on both sides of the passage after the army enters the passage, it will have a great military advantage over the enemy troops who are in the passage below.

Whether it is an ambush or a retreat, the side that sets up the ambush will eventually have a great advantage.

But now the other party did not set up an ambush on both sides, but chose to block the exit with soldiers, and only shot 4,000 foot soldiers to block the exit, which really made him unexpected.

"How's the gear for these foot soldiers?"

Tian Cheng immediately asked.

Tanma immediately replied: "All the clothes on his body are standard military uniforms, and there is no one wearing armor!" ”

Tian Cheng immediately showed joy, turned his head and said to his lieutenant: "I thought that the other party would take out the elite to block the door, but I didn't expect the other party to take out four thousand cloth foot soldiers to block the door, and I don't know whether to say that he is confident or stupid."

It's just 4,000 cloth armor foot soldiers, and beating them through them is just a matter of increasing our strength......"

Although the adjutant general also agreed with this point of view, he still had doubts in his heart and said: "According to the intelligence, the other party is not just these 4,000 foot soldiers, their total number should be about 20,000, of which cavalry accounts for the majority.

Now that the only ones who are ahead of us are the foot soldiers, where have their cavalry gone? ”

Hearing this, Tian Cheng also thought for a while, and then said: "The other three thousand foot soldiers, I estimate that they should stay where they are and guard their homes."

As for the more than 10,000 cavalrymen, Ben would have guessed that they should be at the mouth of the valley!

The passage here was so narrow that there was no way to get too many troops, and the army was not set up in ambush on either side, so the cavalry should be outside the exit.

But don't worry, it can be seen from the fact that their 4,000 foot soldiers don't even have dozens of armor, and the other party's cavalry is estimated to be a pounced cavalry.

But we still have 3,000 points of the Cloud Breaking Xuanjia Army in our army, and when the time comes, after the opponent's front army rushes out of the valley, let the Cloud Breaking Xuanjia Army block the front, just wait to slow down the momentum of the opponent's cavalry, and their cavalry will be abolished! ”

When the deputy general heard this, the main general was arranged, and it didn't seem to be anything wrong, so he nodded in agreement.

Tian Cheng's side quickly arranged, and the original defensive formation quickly turned into an advance formation, and in addition, the Cloud Breaking Xuanjia Army, which had been in the rear of the army, was transferred to the Chinese army, so that it would be convenient to support it when the time came.

However, after an hour of hard work, Tian Li from a distance saw the vanguard army that had set off first.

Hurriedly led the army forward to converge, and was shocked when he learned from the vanguard army that the other party was building fortifications at the mouth of the valley!

If this terrain allows the opponent to build fortifications, then if you want to break through the opponent's valley, you don't know how many more troops you will have to consume.

After receiving the news, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the whole army to advance quickly and gallop in the direction of Taniguchi.

And at this time on both sides of the cliff ......
