Twenty miles outside the west gate of Pengcheng is a place with open terrain, the big river flowing from north to south, the natural barrier of Pengcheng, blocking the pace of General Li Hong's soldiers.

The road was unimpeded, so that General Li Hong came to this big river twenty miles away from Pengcheng before stopping. He forgot Zhang Yu's instructions, set up camp forty miles away from Pengcheng, and waited for his order before acting.

"What news are these probes, where did they come from, what kind of strange weather, and they haven't even seen a single person along the way. General Li Hong said puzzled.

Li Hong is Zhang Yu's deputy general, and his ability to lead troops to fight is needless to say, but the current situation makes him not believe it.

But he only advanced to a place twenty miles away from Pengcheng, and did not advance across the river again, after all, the prince of Wanjun and Wang Qiang's eight thousand military horses were missing, and he still did not believe that they were all annihilated.

10,000 soldiers and horses set up camp by the river and made a strict defense, Li Hong was still uneasy, and after personally riding a horse and taking his own soldiers to check all the camps, he saw the orderly and high-morale soldiers, so he put down his heart and waited for General Zhang Yu's attack order.

In the afternoon, there was no movement on the other side of the river, but I vaguely saw a place ten miles away, waving flags, crowds of people, and the sound of people neighing.

Li Hong stood by the river, looking at the front with solemn eyes, he didn't understand why Zhang Chuguo's army didn't set up camp by the river, but chose to deploy troops ten miles away from the river. You know, the river is a natural barrier.

Defending this only bridge can be closed for thousands of people, so why don't they occupy such a favorable terrain?

The several generals behind him were already waiting impatiently, and said: "General Li, the front probe has found out that Zhang Chuguo's army is less than 10,000 people there, and the rest are all cowering in Pengcheng City, now is the best time for us to attack, we must not miss the opportunity and do not come again!"

Li Hong also knew that the current situation was favorable to them, but without General Zhang Yu's order, and with the annihilation of the prince of ten thousand armies in front of him, he did not dare to act rashly, in case he was ambushed by the enemy, he would regret it too late!

But the great opportunity for victory is in front of us, and if it is lost, it will also lose the fighter. With the disgrace of the Lord of Hosts, he didn't want to lose this great opportunity.

"General Li, the general is not subject to the orders of the monarch outside, General Zhang does not know the situation ahead, and the fighter plane is fleeting. "All the generals want to make meritorious service and take revenge, and they will be ashamed.

Li Hong thought about it again and again, and said: "Send another thirty scouts to check the situation, and ask people to report General Zhang's current situation, you are ready to attack at any time." ”

"Yes!" the generals shouted imposingly.

The soldiers who had just settled in the tents were ordered to regroup and be ready to attack the city at any time.

There was chaos in the camp, and people were cheering and making preparations before the battle.

The army of Zhang Chuguo, who was ten miles on the opposite side, had already been in battle, and the ambush soldiers were hiding around.

And the army on the bright side, there are 5,000 men and horses, under the personal leadership of Princess Mingyue, is slowly moving forward in an orderly manner, beside her, there are Chen Yang and Heizi and the four major guards of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, all wearing armor and holding blades.

The scene of Princess Mingyue leading the troops to advance with murderous spirit quickly reached Li Hong's ears, and he shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order and attack immediately!"

For a time, thousands of horses galloped, the dust covered the sun in the sky, and the soldiers who rushed across the river rushed forward with shouts.

The distance between the two armies was only ten miles, and it didn't take long for Li Hong to see Zhang Chuguo's soldiers who were moving slowly, their faces were panicked, but under the suppression of the archers behind, they walked forward slowly.

The two armies were getting closer and closer, and when the distance was less than a mile, they could clearly see the scene of the opposite side shouting and killing and the dust covering the sky, Mingyue immediately ordered: "All the soldiers, immediately flee in a panic!"

After Princess Mingyue finished speaking, she pulled the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and fled towards Pengcheng, and the soldiers ran back even more lifelessly when they saw the commander fleeing.

Li Hong saw that Mingyue's army had not yet fought, so he turned around and ran, and he was shocked in his heart, and secretly felt ominous. The spear in his hand commanded, "Stop the attack immediately!"

But the soldiers, who were running like a flight with high morale, could not stop for a while, and rushed forward for half a mile before stopping.

"General Li, what's wrong with you, why did the team stop?" the generals came running and asked.

"I feel that the situation is not right, it is said that Zhang Chuguo's army should be fighting with us, why did he turn around and run back as soon as he saw us, I am afraid that there is an ambush ahead!" Li Hong said.

"You look at the scene of throwing away your armor, it doesn't look like you are running away on purpose, General Li, if you delay them any longer, they will all flee into the city!" said a marquis of a thousand households.

Li Hong said: "I'd rather they flee into the city, and we can't rashly pursue them." Send someone to inquire again, and report immediately. ”

Qianhu Hou said: "General Li, you are too careful, if you stop like this, our morale will decline greatly, which is very unfavorable to our army. ”

Li Hong said: "Can I not know? If we repeat the mistakes of the past, we will die without a place to be buried." ”

Tan Malay reported: "Zhang Chuguo's army has abandoned the army, and has retreated to a place five miles away from the city, and when they saw that we were no longer chasing, they also stopped, and they all sat on the ground to rest. ”

"Are they really trying to lure us, Marquis of Qianhu, you immediately lead a thousand men and horses and continue the pursuit, and see what they want to do? ”

The Marquis of Qianhu was ordered to continue the pursuit with a thousand men and horses. Along the way, they picked up a lot of weapons, as well as lost grain, grass and silver.

The 1,000 men were smiling as they chased and picked up valuables, and the speed of the pursuit slowed down.

"No one is allowed to pick up items and behead them against orders!" shouted Qianhuhou.

Seeing that another pursuer was coming, Zhang Chuguo's soldiers, who were sitting on the ground resting, stood up and ran forward again.

The back is in a hurry, the front is in a hurry, the back stops, and the front also stops. This made Qianhu Hou's heart angry, what would happen to this soldier of the Chu State? What kind of game was this playing with them?

Just when the Marquis of Qianhu ordered the soldiers to attack quickly, Zhang Chuguo's soldiers suddenly turned their heads and rushed towards them, the speed of which was like a tiger descending the mountain, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses instantly surrounded the former soldiers and horses of the Thousand Household Marquis, and except for shouting in unison, they did not attack them.

The Marquis of Qianhu understood that this was to surround them, waiting for General Li Hong's army to come to their rescue, and just entered their ambush circle.

The Marquis of Qianhu looked up to the sky and sighed: "General Li, don't come to save us, this is a trap they have set!"
