The spring rain is soft and delicate, and it falls on the houses and flower beds delicately and silently.

In the quiet courtyard of Sufu, a quarrel suddenly sounded, the door of the study creaked open, and the one-armed man strode out, followed by Su Congfang and yelled at him: "There are cavalry from the imperial court outside, what can you do?!" ”

"It's because there are cavalry, the grain can't be transported, what will the tens of thousands of people on the third brother's side eat!!"

Su Lie turned around and roared at his father who chased him out, he has always been short-tempered, even if he broke an arm, he couldn't change it, he pointed outside: "Tens of thousands of people, if it's gone, Ding'an City will be gone, and the Su family will be gone, Dad!" How can you sit still! ”

"Dad isn't afraid that you're in danger, what's the use of you going out?!"

The quarrel between the father and son attracted the family to come, Xiao Wu pushed away the support of the eldest daughter-in-law, and in the middle of the father and son, looked at Su Lie: "Go, my mother supports you to go, the Su family is small, but it is not a weak person in the shrinking city, your eldest brother is not afraid of death, your brother is not afraid of death, you are not afraid of death, my three sons are all good." There are not many soldiers at home, although you take it away, but the two thousand soldiers guarding the city must not be moved! ”

Su Congfang came over to speak anxiously, and was glared at by the old wife: "Whether at home or outside the home, survival is a matter of survival, if there is no food in the Chen'er army for more than two days, who will still fight with their lives?" It's better to let Su Lie give it a go! ”

"Xie Niang!"

"Second Brother Su, I'll go with you!" A young man named Su Ting from his side of the family came with a few people.

Su Lie was very happy with his mother's support, and nodded to Su Ting and the others, and said, "Keep up!" So he didn't look at his wife Hua Hongzhen, who didn't look at him, and went directly out of the backyard to call the housekeeper and call all the armor soldiers, barely enough to get together one hundred and twenty people.

When Taishou Sun Shuwu heard about this, he came to dissuade him, and seeing that he couldn't move Su Lie, he had to hand over the errand of transporting grain to him, and transferred thirty people from the government to catch it.

More than 30 carts, full of grain bags, looking at the convoy slowly leaving the city gate, Su Lie understood that this was only enough for tens of thousands of people to eat for two days, and then they would have to come back to continue the delivery.

The official roads and paths outside Ding'an City are hard to see, the broken wheels are placed on the side of the road, the burned car frames are still a little scorched, and in the distance, there are the corpses of the traders who have stinking and swollen, being hung on the edge of the forest near the official road.

After the 100,000 army entered the territory of Yunyao, 5,000 cavalry crushed over, and at that time there were still many caravans who were processing goods and preparing to leave here, and they were driven or killed one by one, and they robbed the property with their hands, especially for the caravans with carts, regardless of whether there was food in them, they directly killed people and set fire, and burned them all.

Under the threat of the blade, no one dared to take risks, and the business travelers who came and went frequently in the past basically stayed at the junction of Ding'an City, or diverted to other cities, and did not dare to come here again.

In just one or two days, there was a lot of noise outside Ding'an City, and no one dared to walk around in the suburbs.

Most of the activities are one or two horseback figures, these are the scouts of the Yanshan Iron Cavalry, from Ji County, Qingshan to this side are their range of activities, once they find that there is a convoy on the road, they will convey the news to the main force that is lying down, if there are few people, they will call other scouts, and directly rush over to start the slaughter.

That afternoon, in the drizzle, they saw a convoy out of the city, heading north, the convoy was huge, and they didn't want to know what was inside.

The convoy carrying grain walked twenty miles north, and Su Ting rode crookedly to the front of the convoy, bringing bad news, "Second Brother Su, I saw a few scouts on horseback, they looked at the convoy for a while, will the Yanshan Iron Cavalry be killed?" ”

"Speed up."

Su Lie didn't reply directly, if he did, it is estimated that the people in the convoy don't know how much to run, and one hundred and twenty armor soldiers should be able to block it for a moment, he pinched the reins and fell behind, letting Su Ting lead the convoy first, and he took the Fuzhong armor soldiers to break the rear.

Sure enough, a cavalry team of about 2,000 people galloped from several avenues to the east, stopping at a distance of hundreds of zhang, and the cavalry general who was the leader glanced at Su Lie's side, raised his hand, and the cavalry crowded, and divided hundreds of horses on the field to rush towards the convoy transporting grain.

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves shook the field, and the convoy that was slowly moving forward was suddenly panicked, and the catchers escorting the vehicles did not dare to touch such a battle at all, and many people turned around and ran away.

Su Ting shouted to them with his sword to come back, but no one stopped, even one of the headhunters ran away.

At the moment when the cavalry was approaching, suddenly an arrow shot in the sky, and the cavalry that was originally rushing suddenly turned around and rushed back to the main formation, so that Su Lie, who was standing behind the armor and preparing to start the battle, was stunned.

The iron hooves cracked the ground, and the two thousand cavalry rushed up in the field, and the dust and smoke quickly disappeared into the dusk.

"Second Brother Su, what's going on?"

Su Ting rode from the convoy in front, his face was full of cold sweat, he was naturally scared when he faced the cavalry charge just now, and now that the cavalry was withdrawn, he was still a little trembling all over, "Why did these enemy horses suddenly run away?" ”

"Where do I know?"

Just as Su Lie's words fell, there were also a few fast horses running in front of the convoy, and the knight above saw the convoy parked here, and quickly approached, and stepped forward to inquire that it was Su Lie.

Su Ting didn't listen too much on the side, he only heard some words of "turning into a chaotic army...... "many people are unknown ...... life and death", "120,000 troops are mixed with us, running ...... all over the mountains", his mind was buzzing with chaos, and then he saw Su Lie's face constantly changing.

"Second Brother Su......" he called.

Su Lie took a deep breath and suddenly laughed, "My third brother can kill with 120,000 soldiers and horses like this, if he doesn't survive, even if my second brother is incompetent, how can I pick up the bones for him!" ”

The people who fled around did not run far, and when they heard his words, they walked back one by one, and continued to escort the convoy forward in silence.

On the way to the north, you can see soldiers fleeing to the south, groups of three or five, or alone, but most of the people who can flee to the south are the Ding'an army, occasionally meeting each other, and asking: "Which general is under the brother?" ”

"I am a disciple of the Great Sage and Good Master."

"Let's go, come with us, get together twenty more people, and I'll kill you!" If you have any dry food on you, let's take half a piece first......"

Farther north, such scenes became more and more frequent, with hordes of cavalry roaring through the woods, and then fierce battles broke out in the forests, and everywhere there were scattered armies on both sides, and the cavalry with horns did not dare to blow the horns of assembly indiscriminately, attracting not only soldiers and horses from home, but also nearby enemies.

Most of them will recruit each other's comrades, go south together, or find out the main position to defect.

At this time, the team around Su Chen had reached more than 7,000 soldiers, and a steady stream was still coming, ranging from a few dozen people to dozens or hundreds.

After arriving in Yunyu County, he also saw Wu Huizhi and Tang Huaiyuan on the city tower, and the two did not dare to treat Su Chen as the little prince of the Hou Mansion in the past, so they immediately let people open the city gate and come out to meet Su Chen.

Time was pressing, and Su Chen knew that He Jinchen had led a group of remnants of soldiers to the north, so he didn't continue to chat, and immediately invited this Marquis of Yun to bring the soldiers and horses in the mansion to chase and kill together.

In the gray spring rain, after Su Chen entrusted the wounded soldiers in the team to Tang Huaiyuan, he joined forces with Yun Yaohou, and the soldiers had reached tens of thousands, and quickly walked through the muddy road along the north and searched forward.

Through the rear field of Changchuan County, the next is the rugged mountain road, there are undulating hills in the distance, in this water vapor, there is a sound of horses' hooves and weapons colliding under the hillside, two groups of soldiers and horses are fighting in front of the hillside, the small number of people is hundreds of cavalry, there are more than 100 foot soldiers, the other side is obviously the Yan State soldiers and horses, there are two or three thousand people, the armor weapons on both sides are mostly different, it should be from other military formations, and there is no effective formation to fight.

Su Chen urged the horse forward, looked at the hillside below, and soon found Zhang Liao's figure among the hundreds of cavalry, the war horse under his command was scarred and tired, and led the cavalry to assist more than a hundred foot soldiers to avoid being surrounded by the other party.

"Dian Wei!" Su Chen turned around and shouted.

In the crowd, the burly giant man squeezed past the person in front of him, and stood next to Wu Huizhi abruptly, with a hideous appearance, covered in blood, especially with a human head hanging on his waist, this picture almost scared him to fall off his horse.

Su Chen pointed downward: "Take people down and kill them." ”

"Here's a few people!"

Dian Wei just shouted like this, pulled out the double halberd and jumped down the hill directly, the crowd behind was surging hula, where were a few people, and there were seven or eight hundred people who immediately rushed over and jumped down the hill, all of them were soldiers who had gone through the previous melee, and if they could survive, they were basically elite soldiers.

Yun Yaohou watched the giant man named Dian Wei go down the hill, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly urged the horse to Su Chen's side, "This is also your subordinate?" ”

Seeing Su Chen nodding, he remembered Dong Zhuo who met last year, the one next to the other party.

"Virtuous nephew...... Do you want to even me? ”

As he spoke, the battle under the hillside had ended before it began, and the commander of the 3,000 soldiers and horses was Li Kang, the commander of the Tiger Ben Army.

So much so that Dian Wei rushed down, and he only had time to cut down the two of them, and the other party had already escaped more than ten zhang with people.

"Wen Yuan, can you fight again?" Dian Wei took the double halberd, walked towards Zhang Liao over there, and took out the wound medicine and handed it to the other party.

Su Chen urged the horse down the hill and arched his hand towards Zhang Liao, who returned the salute on horseback, and then pointed in the direction where Li Dang fled, "I pursued He Jinchen so far, and I met the other party here, if it is not bad, this person should lead the troops to meet the other party!" ”

"While he is not on a firm foothold now, why don't you rush to kill a wave?" Dian Wei knocked the twin halberds out of the sparks.

"So what are you waiting for?!"

"Let's go!"

The soldiers and horses closed again, Zhang Liao led the cavalry to rush ahead, Su Chen and Wu Huizhi followed closely behind, such a high-intensity battle, Su Chen also had not eaten for several hours, as the main general of the army, he showed a strong side as much as possible, which was also taught to him by Cao Cao.

At the moment, the victory and defeat have been balanced, and he only needs to take a few more steps than the other side!
