"Stop," the samurai in the lead commanded when he heard the movement.

gestured with his eyes to the soldiers next to him, and then five people dismounted and searched for the hill in front of them.

This group of more than 50 people, all of them cavalry, was the scout brigade of the Liang State Forward Battalion.

After a while, the five of them returned to the team, and the squad leader reported: "Captain, there is the Jin army in front, and they are camped here. ”

"Huh, how many?"

"Look at the number of miles stretched for its military tent, but the number of people is unknown, but it seems to have the number of five armies. ”

"It's at least twenty miles away from Nanyang County, how could the Jin Kingdom camp here, shouldn't they be based on the city?" the warrior pondered.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"

The sound of breaking the air came from far and near, and several cavalry fell off their horses in an instant.

More than 40 cavalry appeared behind the mountain, but the samurai did not panic, after stabilizing his subordinates, he led the team to cover up and kill, the short knives were connected, the scout teams of both sides were strangled together, the samurai raised the knife and fell to solve the two Jin cavalry beside him, seeing that the opponent's scout captain was brave, that is, he rode his horse away, blocked the opponent's killing move, flew and knocked it down, and before he got up, a sword cut off his head, and the remaining Jin cavalry instantly collapsed, the samurai immediately ordered everyone to take a bow, a round of volleys, there were still two people far away, and the samurai shot a full bow and an arrow to overturn one person.

"Captain, retreat quickly, the other scouts will surround this place immediately. ”

"Map. ”

I saw that the mountains, rivers, bridges, water sources, etc. on the map were clearly marked.

The warrior looked at the map for a while, pointed his finger on it and analyzed: "This bamboo forest is thirty miles northeast of the Jin army camp, the terrain is slightly higher than the surrounding area, it is a mountainous area, if the cavalry swoops, our Liang army will be disturbed, and this place has not been explored, the situation must be investigated." ”

The warrior looked at the nearly twenty people behind him and said, "The five of you bring the map and hand it over to General Zhang as soon as possible, and the others will follow me." ”

"Captain, that direction is not in our team's search range. ”

"Huh?"

The captain of the squad knew that he had a lot to say, and after saluting, he led the people to the east, and the samurai led the rest of the cavalry to the northeast.

This warrior has been in the Zhennan army for nearly three years, and he has been upright and has not been reused, and every time his military exploits have been robbed by Zhang Chi. Within three years, Zhang Chi was promoted from a sixth-rank general to a fourth-rank military marquis, and this warrior never complained, just because he was keen on the military.

On the official road forty miles east of Nanyang City, a group of men and horses drove slowly, cavalry, infantry, shield bearers, and crossbowmen, and the leader was a slightly heroic young man.

A gallop came from a distance, and the cavalry dismounted and clasped his fists with both hands and said: "General, our team fought an encounter with the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, and found out that the Jin State has been camped twenty miles east of Nanyang City, and the number is unknown. ”

The young man said, "What about the captain of your scout brigade, Li Ling?"

The team leader handed over the map and said, "Report to the general, the captain said that it was too strange for the Jin Kingdom to camp outside the city, and he led the team to the northeast to investigate." ”

"This Li Ling is really troublesome, I have already sent a scout from my headquarters to investigate this place," said a general next to the young general.

This young general is Zhang Chi, the only son of Zhang Rusong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Liang Cong is a third-class military marquis, and the legal system of the Liang State: a general with a military title above the fifth rank, a military general with a military rank above the fourth rank, and a military general with a rank of six ranks, a staff general of the seventh grade, and a captain and captain without a grade, and a military commander. In the Zhennan Army, there are ten people in a team, and there is a team commander; The two teams are a team with a captain; The five teams are a school with a school captain; The five schools are one staff member, and there are staff generals; Two staff members are one assistant, and the assistant general is set up; Wuzuo is a battalion with a general; The two battalions are armies, with a general army.

"Hmph, act without permission, and settle accounts with him afterwards," Zhang Chi said unhappily.

Zuo Xiangqi, the general next to him, said: "However, this old man of the Sima Division of the Jin Kingdom did not take my Liang army in his eyes by virtue of capturing a few cities, and dared to camp outside the city, which is too arrogant." ”

"Huh," Zhang Chi ordered: "This is less than twenty miles away from the enemy camp, just camp here, the prince is still thirty miles away, and when the prince arrives, he will make a decision." ”

"Yes. ”

Xiang Qi commanded.

"You, report the news to the prince immediately. ”

"Yes," the team leader obeyed.

"Send two more teams of scouts, always pay attention to the news of the Jin army, and arrange more secret posts. ”

"Yes. ”

The other general next to him immediately took the order and left.

The big tent of the Jin army outside Nanyang City.

"Report, big handsome. ”

"Come in. ”

"Dashuai, a team of scouts from our department encountered a team of Liang State scouts three miles away, and were all annihilated, and then I sent three teams of scouts to encircle and suppress, but there was no trace of them, and the scouts found out that this group of men and horses was the scout brigade of the Liang army's forward battalion, and its forward battalion was less than twenty miles away from here, and they were camped in formation," Wang Xuan reported.

"Huh? It came so quickly. ”

After thinking about it, Sima Shi said: "Send a few more scouts, report any movement of the Liang army immediately, and you transfer a few guerrilla teams from the front camp to attack and harass the forward battalion of the Liang army, so that they do not dare to launch a surprise attack on our army." ”

"Yes. ”

"Marshal, the forward battalion of the Liang army is only 5,000 people, why don't we take advantage of the fact that its foothold is not stable and the rear army has not yet arrived, and we can wipe out all of it or destroy most of it!" Wang Xuan on the side suggested.

"This forward battalion, although there are only 5,000 people, but the combat power is not bad, known as the trapped camp, the commander of the army is Zhang Chi, the only son of Shangshu of the Criminal Department of Liang State, although this person is arrogant, but he has some ability, we only have less than 20,000 horses here, and the cavalry has been transferred to Liu Ziye, how to eat these 5,000 men and horses?"

Wang Xuan said: "There are not many people who can be praised by the marshal, it seems that this person has some ability, but I didn't expect the marshal to be so familiar with Liang Ying." ”

Sima Shi pulled out the sword at his waist, the sword body was shiny, Sima Shi looked at himself in the sword, and said: "The old man has been thinking about restoring the ancestral foundation all his life, more than 20 years, the old man has placed a lot of secret agents in the military and political affairs of various countries, and naturally knows the ability of the generals of various countries, but now the next people do not think about the homeland, this king has reached the twilight of his life, this battle, I am afraid that this king will be the last battle in this life, so this battle will definitely recover the land of the four states." ”

Wang Xuan saw that Sima Shi was sad, and comforted: "Don't worry, my army will win this battle, and the four southern states must be in the bag of my Jin Kingdom." ”

"Well, send someone to inform Sima De, Sima Jin, and let them get ready, they are the key to this battle. ”

"Yes. ”

Wang Xuan walked out of the tent.
