Great Han Empire

Chapter 94 Yanzhao Fengyun
Ji Chou was caught off guard and hit five arrows in a row. Fortunately, his skin was rough and his flesh was thick, so he didn't hurt his vitals.But the surrounding attendants and messengers fell down a large piece.

"Command the troops, shrink..."

"The rear army enters the two wings, the central army supplements the front army, and fights out..."

"My lord, with the removal of the rear army, there will be a loophole in our defense." One of his subordinates reminded loudly.

Ji Chou's entire face was disfigured in pain. He gave the other party a vicious look, and yelled frantically: "The two wings are about to be torn. Why do we need the rear army to block it? Take Qinwei Tun and we rush to the front. Tear through the enemy's barriers and rush out."

Under the command of the war drum, the soldiers of the rear army who were blocking the enemy immediately withdrew into the middle of the formation, and then divided into two, supplementing the two wings of the battlefield with heavy casualties.The two wings that had been deformed by the pressure rebounded again.Karasuma soldiers were killed continuously and had to retreat slowly.

The assault force suffered heavy casualties and almost ground to a halt.At this moment, Ji Chou rushed up with 200 people.His personal guards are strong, and the soldiers are tall and strong, brave and good at fighting.They roared angrily, like beasts uncaged, and launched the most severe and terrifying blow at the most critical moment.

Tituo's complexion changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "No, Jichou has changed his formation. Order the left-wing troops to immediately deploy troops to block the front, hurry up."

The defensive formation of the Han army turned into a conical assault formation. Like tenons, they tenaciously penetrated deep, and their advancing speed suddenly accelerated.

Under the protection of a dozen soldiers, Ji Chou barely sat on his horse, bleeding profusely.He gritted his teeth and persisted, personally supervising the front line.

The gap was suddenly opened.

The soldiers of the Han army gave a cheer, and swarmed away with Ji Chou, who was already unconscious on the horse.

Tituo was so angry that he cursed, beat his horse and ran down the hill.The gap was immediately blocked by the crazy Karasuma people.

After Jichou fled, the Han army lost its command and was quickly slaughtered.The battle is over.

In this battle, Jichou's cavalry army only escaped with a hundred cavalry, and the rest were wiped out.

The Karasuma people paid the price of nearly a thousand people and won a big victory.

After meeting up with the convoy full of property and luggage at Bailing, Trent led two thousand cavalry troops and galloped all the way to Baishan.

At normal speed, his troops could reach Huanling later.Crossing Huanling is the border.Once you cross the border, everything will be fine.

Pegasus scouts reported one after another that there was no one in Huanling and everything was safe.

Trent turned his head to look at the endless hills and ridges behind him, and let out a long breath.Finally, I will soon walk out of the situation of the Han people, and I feel much more at ease in my heart.

"Order everyone to move faster, we will camp at Huanling."

Zheng Xin trotted all the way and found Li Hong who was washing horses in the valley.Hu Ding and Qi Chen were sleeping on the nearby grass with a dozen or so soldiers from the Qinwei camp.

"Shouyan, why are you running?" Li Hong saw him dripping with sweat and asked with a smile.

"My son, something is a little strange." Zheng Xin said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Li Hong hurriedly left the black panther and walked to Zheng Xin's side.

"Tito's withdrawal route is from Birch Valley, Maple Valley, Beech Mountain, Little Bear Mountain, and finally back to White Eagle Mountain. This is the news from King Black Ling."

"However, She Yingtong told me just now that their scouts found Trent leading the convoy towards Hengling."

Li Hong looked at him suspiciously, but didn't make a sound.

"The distance from Heng Ridge to Little Bear Mountain is much shorter than the withdrawal route that King Black Ling told us. We are now laying an ambush in Zeech Mountain. If Titus withdraws from Heng Ridge, we will be too late to pursue him. I suspect that the black The news that King Ling told us is false."

Li Hong smiled, noncommittal.In order to coordinate the actions of the two parties, King Heiling secretly entered Jueshan to meet with Li Hong and discussed the details carefully.He has his cronies by Tituo's side, and the information is accurate, so such a big mistake should not happen.

"King Black Ling's army is outside Xiaoxiong Mountain, 130 miles away from Hengling. Tomorrow, Trent's troops will cross Hengling and leave the border of the Han Dynasty. King Blackling can lead his troops to the border and swallow these things."

"Why do you think so?" Li Hong asked strangely.

"That's a huge amount of wealth, why didn't you grab it? King Black Ling used us to kill Tito this time, and some people in the tribe will inevitably gossip and be unconvinced. He just needs to use something to stop everyone's mouths, and he can immediately calm down the turmoil. .With this huge amount of wealth, nothing can be fixed."

"What if Titu's army arrives at Hengling tonight?" Li Hong asked.

Zheng Xin smiled disdainfully, "Son, we bet that Tituo will not come to Hengling. The Black Ling King will definitely sell us, whoever ambushes is not sure? His purpose is nothing more than to eradicate and follow Tituo. so whether we ambush Titus or Titus ambush us, his purpose can be achieved. Because this is a bloody battle of equal strength, both sides will suffer heavy casualties. We beat Titus anyway, and reported He is the enemy of the invasion, and Tituo's strength has been greatly reduced, so naturally he cannot beat the Black Ling King."

"If King Black Ling betrayed us, Titus would know that we are in Jushan. He has already decided to withdraw his troops, why did he come to fight us? Isn't he afraid that his strength will be damaged and that he will be tricked by King Black Ling?" Li Hong laughed and pointed out that there were loopholes in Zheng Xin's guess.

Zheng Xin frowned, shook his head and said: "I really don't understand the matter of the Karasuma people. Anyway, I think there is a ghost here." Then he remembered something and added: "The exact number of our army has always been a secret, and so are the troops. Act separately. No matter how the enemy estimates, they will not think that we have 8000 men. This may be why Titus wants to fight us."

Li Hongda laughed, patted him on the shoulder hard, and said: "What you said is very reasonable, there is a ghost here. Remember to reward the scout from the Wuye tribe, his discovery is too important .”

Zheng Xin was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Do you agree with my speculation?"

Li Hong nodded, and said solemnly: "How can the things of the Han Kingdom be snatched by these robbers? We will attack Hengling tonight."

Immediately he shouted to Hu Ding and Qi Shen: "Go and invite all the military officers, Heng Ji Xiao Shuai, and She Yingtong Xiao Shuai."

Zheng Xin laughed: "Subject, are you not afraid that Tituo's troops will also arrive at Hengling tonight?"

"It's better served in one pot."

At dusk, the troops packed up their luggage and set off on the road in a leisurely manner.

Li Hong, Zheng Xin, Tie Yue and a dozen guards stopped by the roadside, talking with She Hu and She Yingtong.

At this moment, Lu Huanyang came running over on horseback, and asked with a smile, "My lord, what are we training tonight?"

"Night attack." Li Hong said with a smile, "Maybe we will meet Tito's large army, you have to be careful."

Lu Huanyang laughed and rode away with Shehu and Sheyingtong.

Zheng Xin looked at his back and said to Li Hong in a low voice: "King Heiling even lied to Lu Pofeng, who exactly does he want to pass on the throne to?"

"Of course it's his son." Li Hong gave him a strange look, and continued, "Didn't you see that the commanders of Xianbei's various ministries really did this?"

Zheng Xin suddenly realized, and nodded again and again.

In the middle of the night, the troops arrived in a small mountainous area ten miles away from Hengling.

Tonight, half of the full moon strolls in the clouds, and the soft moonlight shines gently on the earth.The stars hid, and occasionally a few poked their heads out from the gaps in the clouds, blinked and ran away mischievously.

The scouts of the Han army dispersed like ghosts in the night.

After Li Hong received the news from Baihuagu, he jumped up angrily.He kicked the small tree next to him fiercely, almost yelling at him.He didn't scold Titus, but Jichou.In such a good situation, they even fell into the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, and were ambushed by them, and the whole army was wiped out.This is a little too wimpy.

"Does Master Jichou have any news?" Zheng Xin asked immediately.

"No. The Karasuma people have won a big victory, and they are all celebrating their victory. There were no prisoners at the scene, and all the soldiers of the Han army were killed. If the captain did not escape, it is estimated that..."

Zheng Xin shook his hand, signaling the scouts to stop talking.

"Where are they now?"

"Bai Ling. The army of the Karasuma people started from Baihua Valley in the afternoon, and camped in Bai Ling at dusk, heading towards Heng Ling. Their scouts are active within [-] miles. We follow the request of the military officer. Dare to get too close, so as not to expose yourself."

Zheng Xin nodded in satisfaction and told him to go down and rest.

The scouts scouting Hengling returned one after another.The enemy did not find the Han army, they were resting. 2000 people were scattered in the front, middle, and rear sections of the convoy, and did not form a defensive formation.Karasuma probably thought he had arrived at the door of his house, and was very careless.

Li Hong immediately ordered the troops to set off, and asked all the ministries to sneak around the convoy quietly, and then quickly deal with the enemy with lightning speed.

Yushi and Sheyingtong, the team of Shehu, the team of Wuzhaoli Song Yan Wuwei, and the team of Hu Zihengji Lu Huanyang, respectively dealt with the three enemies guarding the convoy.

Li Hong himself took the guard station, the guard station, and the scout station and then hid in.

Trent woke up from his sleep.

Before he opened his eyes, he was kicked and beaten by a group of Wuye tribe soldiers in a daze. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

The attack on Hengling was over before a cup of tea.

Most of the enemies were lying in tents and sleeping, and a small number of guards were sleeping soundly by the side of the carriage.Already at the door of the house, who would have thought of being attacked by the Han army in such a safe place?
Except for some soldiers standing guard who were attacked and killed, the rest were all captured in their sleep.

Trent didn't know what was going on, and kept holding back the pain so he didn't dare to groan loudly, for fear of offending the other party and being cut with a knife.

Before Li Hong led the team to Hengling, he received a report that the attack on Hengling was over.

Li Hong laughed, and said to Tian Zhong beside him, "Old man is going to be tired again. With so many trophies, it's enough for your guards to keep busy for a while."

Tian Zhongxi smiled, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have disappeared.

"Following the people to fight the war, I know what it's like to fight. I have been in the army for four or fifty years, and it was really useless."

Heng Ji and Lu Huanyang found Tun Jie among the captives, and seeing his distressed appearance, they couldn't help laughing out loud.Seeing them, Trent cried out as if seeing a savior.

"Where is the king? Where is the king?"

Heng Ji shook his head, looked at him sympathetically and said, "What's the use of looking for the king, it's just like losing your head."

"I am the king's man, and I have been providing information to the king. If you don't believe me, let's confront the king together."

Heng Ji and Lu Huanyang exchanged a surprised look, and looked at him suspiciously.

"Why should we believe your words?" Lu Huanyang asked.

Trent shook his swollen head and said loudly, "Didn't you lie in ambush with the Leopard's troops in Zee Mountain? Why did you come to Hengling?"

Heng Ji and Lu Huanyang were taken aback.Trent Knot knows this secret, which shows that he is really a member of Dawang Nanlou, and he is also a person that Nanlou trusts very much.

"Trust me?" Trent asked triumphantly.

The two nodded in succession.

"Then why don't you let me go and take me to see the king?" Tun Jie hurriedly shouted seeing that the two had no intention of letting go.

Heng Ji looked at him and smiled apologetically: "Your Majesty is not here, Master Leopard Li is here. So we have no right to let you go."

Trent shouted in surprise: "It's him? Aren't you in Zeech Mountain?"

Lu Huanyang looked at him vigilantly, and asked in a low voice, "Why can't we go to Hengling? What agreement do you have with the king?"

Trent hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We are all a family, so it doesn't matter if I tell you. Your Majesty and I have already made an appointment to rob the convoy on the other side of the border tomorrow. We must keep this matter from the Han people. If we let them It will be very troublesome if you know about it. You didn’t set up an ambush in the Zeech Mountain, but you came here to attack me, which means that the leopard already knows about it.”

Heng Ji and Lu Huanyang's expressions changed drastically.

Lu Huanyang said in surprise: "How dare you plot against Mr. Li?"

Heng Ji shook his head again and again, and said angrily: "We ambushed Tituo's army on the Zeech Mountain, bleeding and sweating, but you robbed Tituo's property, you..."

Trent sneered and said, "Why not? The Han people are greedy and demand so much from us. What are these things? You are all the king's subordinates. Don't stand in the wrong place and help the Han people?"

Heng Ji and Lu Huanyang were speechless for a moment.

Trent then asked, "Any news from Tito's troops?"

"Tito's army has arrived at Bailing, not Maple Valley at all. He can arrive here this morning."

Trent was stunned for a moment, his expression pale.
