The sound of rustling in the mountains and forests, the swaying of branches and leaves, the figure of a man jumped over a rock, threw himself on the ground and tumbled, and two arrows flew from above and nailed to a big tree in front of him.

The scout got up, shot an arrow into the forest with his backhand, ran wildly with a bow, and two people jumped out of the rocks behind him, dressed in the uniforms and armor of the imperial court, and they quickly chased behind, wanting to shoot the rebel scouts in front.

When one of them drew his bow, a black shadow shot out from a nearby tree, and the scout who drew the bow fell to the ground in an instant, with a feathered arrow stuck in his neck.

The other scout looked up at the dense tree cage, and a figure rushed out from behind him, the same scout who had fled earlier, and stabbed him in the back, the blade stirred twice in his hand, and only when it didn't move did it move did the scout throw the other person to the ground.

The companion in the tree also jumped down at this time, and the two of them scraped the corpse on the ground, whistled, and two war horses hidden in the distance galloped to the two of them.

"Next time I come to ambush, you go to lure, Lao Tzu was almost shot just now."

The two rode out of this glade, and then the atmosphere froze, and their eyes were deflected, and the distance was about ten zhang, and it was two court scouts looking over.

"Damn! Let's go! ”

Soon, the scouts of the two sides rushed out of the forest, chased and fled on the field to fight, and the movement of the fight attracted scouts from other directions to join in, forming a range of scout exchanges.

This scene is just what is happening in a corner of Yushanyuan. Since the imperial court sent 150,000 troops to push westward, the scouts on both sides have been spying on each other and fighting for counter-reconnaissance for three days.

In the direction of Longyang in the west, 40,000 troops are advancing in this direction, and the two main forces of Bingzhou and Xiliang keep a distance of about five miles from each other, and the two cavalry of Bingzhou are divided into two groups, one led by Lu Bu wandering more than ten miles to the north, and the other is led by Ma Chao to cruise near the border of Yushanyuan.

Dozens of commanders kept carrying the news back and forth between the two military formations in front and back, so that the news could be kept unimpeded.

The plains were full of figures galloping back and forth.

More than 1,800 shield halberds, guarding the slow-moving cart, surrounded by the sound of horses' hooves, Su Chen stood on the ancestral coffin cart, his eyes quickly looked at the information transmitted to judge the situation of the entire battlefield, he occasionally issued an order to adjust some formations, but more specifically, it was handed over to the commanders of the two armies on the front line.

After a while, under the fluttering flag, the slowly moving wooden wheel stopped, and the soldiers guarding around spread a few feet, arranging a warning range, Su Chen lit a stick of incense, and turned to pay homage to a venerable spiritual seat inside.

In the sound of horses' hooves around him, the noisy conversation buzzed in his ears, providing Su Chen with various reference tactics.

"Forty thousand against one hundred and fifty thousand, it's not difficult!" "First understand the distribution of its troops, feint on the outside, lead them to the rescue of cavalry, and then defeat them and withdraw immediately!"

“…… Fake defeat a few times, lure the enemy deep, stretch their supplies, let Lu Bu or Ma Chao cut off their food and straw supplies after going around, 150,000 troops, seemingly huge, once they lose their grain and grass, they will be defeated! ”

"Night attack is disturbing, the enemy's strategy is really not good, so set fire!"

In the chattering bunch of words, Su Chen still kept some strategies in mind as a reference, after all, the actual battle had changed somewhat.

After all, none of these emperors is experienced in a hundred battles.

At this time, a group of people gathered around the cart, such as Wu Zixun, Dian Wei, Li Dao, Zhou Cang, Xiahou Yuan, not far from everyone, and a veteran wearing silver armor and white robes, with a white beard, holding a silver gun in his hand, looking at the leisurely sky.

“.…… The 150,000 army directly slaughtered them, dozens of miles in a row, and if you want to take care of both the beginning and the end, the commander must have extremely outstanding ability...... Judging from the news, the commander is Guo Xin, who seems to be a veteran of the two dynasties, and he has a lot of prestige in the army, and the scout battle in front is particularly fierce, and it can be seen that this veteran has a very stable fighting style, and he eats us step by step with the advantage of troops! ”

Xiahou Yuan stood in front of the generals of different camps, analyzing the imperial army opposite, and felt a little awkward.

He pointed to the map hanging outside the carriage, his fingers were little by little to distinguish the other party's deployment, and from time to time he glanced into the curtain to see if the emperors inside had any opinions, and looked a little nervous.

“…… Instead of waiting for them to assemble and advance, it is better to wait for them to stand firm, fight first, anyway, there are no reinforcements on both sides, then let go of your hand to fight, pull one, attract their reinforcements, and let Lu Bu or Ma Chao intercept and kill. ”

Su Chen didn't interrupt at will, and when Xiahou Yuan finished speaking, he looked at the place marked on the map, called Lujun Mountain, which was in the northeast of Yushan Plain.

"What do you think of hiding a cavalry here, and waiting for their army to advance forward and attack their rear?"

The generals didn't speak, just stared at the map for a while, and Li Wei nodded: "Look at the map mark, after this mountain goes south, there are plains, and occasionally hills, which are very suitable for cavalry raids." ”

Here, Su Chen's pursed lips smiled, and then raised his hand and slapped it on it: "Since you want to fight, follow General Xiahou's method and beat them hard, don't wait for them to gain a firm foothold and fight with them again." ”

When the words fell, Su Chen narrowed his eyes, "In addition, inform Ma Chao and Lu Bu that when they meet each other's scouts on the way, they can kill as many as they can and blind their eyes." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone clasped their fists and shouted in unison.

……

Two hundred and twenty miles to the east from here, an army of 150,000 stretched for dozens of miles, and each army marched with a large amount of smoke and dust floating in the sky, and it was difficult to hide.

The long banner fluttered in the wind.

On the way to the west, there were all the footsteps of men and horses, and among the mountains and fields, you could see a lot of Shibuya army marching through the mountains, carrying all kinds of equipment, and the tiger army a few miles away on the left flank, and the 10,000 slave army walked in front, under their supervision, and under the big rope in the middle, a chariot swayed on the way, and a huge umbrella cover covered the seventy-year-old man from the hot sun.

This time, as far as the soldiers and horses of Gyeonggi were exhausted, almost all of the generals who stayed behind came with the army, and they were at the side of this veteran to listen to them, after all, the favorite thing for the crazy people on the other side to do was to rush into battle and kill the generals, and there were a group of generals who listened to them, and they could also prevent the military formation from suddenly running out of generals.

“…… The other party's original 40,000 broke the 100,000 of He Jinchen, and this time it is still 40,000, but there are many veterans who have been in battle for a long time, which should not be underestimated. If the other party rushes the handsome flag again, do you think you can stop it? ”

On the chariot, Guo Xin stroked his chin and white beard, held his gray head, and looked at the silent generals around him, none of them meant to speak.

Guo Xin smiled.

"But don't underestimate yourselves, let the enemy be arrogant, so that before the fight starts, you are already afraid! The enemy has only 40,000 troops, and there are no reinforcements, if there is no surprise, he can only fight with our army, and 150,000 soldiers and horses can easily sweep them away. ”

"Yes!"

Guo Xin's words are actually inspiring these generals who have little confidence, if there are 150,000 troops like this, what will they fight in the future?

But this is just an encouragement, if you really want to fight with the other party, Guo Xin still maintains a steady and steady attitude, after all, He Jinchen is a lesson from the past.

On the 17th of May, the 150,000 troops pushed to the edge of the Yushan Plain, and then stopped advancing, and after setting up the camp, they sent five battalions under the command of each army to surround the Chinese army camp.

At night, the campfires stretched out in layers, and on the nearby hills, the two horsemen were looking out side by side, as if they were not afraid of the more than 100,000 people in this huge camp.

Between the two, there was a faint tone floating.

"I heard that back then, you jumped Cao Cao's chickens and dogs and cut off all your beards?"

"Huh! The old thief ran fast, otherwise it wouldn't have been his beard. ”

"Actually, if you shouted that the person with gray hair in front of you was Cao Cao, it is estimated that he would be bald for a while."

"Hahaha!"

"Huh!"

After the two were silent for a while, Lübler turned around and rushed down the gentle slope, his voice floating in the night wind: "I won't leave the head of the commander of this army to you." ”

Ma Chao followed behind and rode down on horseback.

"Then it's up to each to his own ability!"

The long wind blew through this night field, and soon the sky was bright, and the military camp of 150,000 people was noisy, and the mighty army stretched for more than 70 miles, however, before the formation was set, an array of 2,000 people of the Longxiang army, which was fifteen miles to the south, was attacked.

The alarm news came, which made Guo Xin a little stunned, but he didn't expect the army on the other side to be so violent.

However, less than half an hour later, seven miles north of Yushan Plain, a Shibuya army of 2,000 people shuttling through the mountains and forests encountered the enemy's situation, and when the news was still on the way back to the Chinese army, the rebel array, a black man with a leopard's head and eyes, shouted "wow", and led a thousand people to pounce directly.

The war started without warning—
