Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

After Liu Haoyan left the city, he said to the battalion general Wang Feng: "There is a valley not far from the city, and the Qi army will pass through here." You lead 3,000 troops to intercept the Qi army in the front, and you must not let it pass through the valley. I led 500 troops, made a detour of ten miles, and killed the rear of the Qi army. You and I will be able to defeat the Qi army by attacking back and forth.

Wang Feng said worriedly: "Isn't 500 people a bit small? The general had better bring more people." "

No, five hundred is enough. The

Zhaowu army quickly divided into two routes, and Wang Feng led 3,000 men to march towards the valley, preparing to meet the Qi army.

Liu Haoyan led 500 men to the west, in order to speed up. All of them took off their armor, no bows and crossbows, and only a long knife on their bodies.

On the way, feeling that the marching speed was still not fast enough, Liu Haoyan scolded: "You fools, what are you rubbing into." Lao Tzu is taking you to make meritorious contributions, what if you go late, what if the Qi army runs away. Tell me if you can run faster.

"Yes!" shouted the five hundred soldiers in unison.

"The voice is too small, I didn't hear it, can it be faster

!" "Yes!" This time, the voice was even louder.

Seeing that the morale was high, Liu Haoyan laughed, "Wait a while, the war will start, don't be a bad seed, and rush forward desperately for Lao Tzu." Not

long after Wang Feng entered the valley, Zhang Xia led five thousand Qi troops to the valley. After seeing the other party, he didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately swung his knife to kill the other party.

As soon as the two armies came up, they used all their strength, and the shouts of killing resounded through the valley. As the fighting became more and more fierce, patches of blood red appeared on the ground.

Zhang Xia actually didn't want to fight here, although the road in the valley was not narrow, but only by going to the open area outside could he give better play to the advantage of the Qi army. He personally led his troops to rush and kill, and the Zhaowu army resisted stubbornly and was unable to break the Zhaowu army from the front.

After all, the Qi army had more than 2,000 troops, and on Wang Feng's side, half of the soldiers were newly recruited young and strong, and the Zhaowu army gradually fell into disadvantage. As time passed, the Qi army was advancing little by little. It is estimated that it will not be long before the battlefield moves outside the valley.

Wang Feng was extremely anxious, if Liu Haoyan didn't arrive, the Zhaowu army would definitely be defeated this time, and Luxian would not be able to hold it. He was ruthless in his heart and shouted: "If I don't fight to the death, what face will I see to be handsome."

Li Zhao's "political test questions" are still somewhat useful, when they heard the word "Dashuai", some of the veterans of the Zhaowu Army were boosted, and they swung their knives and killed the Qi army, and the offensive of the Qi army was temporarily contained.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of killing coming from behind. Zhang Xia's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned around, and saw hundreds of Zhaowu soldiers, murderous, and rushed towards this side quickly. I regret it in my heart, and I should not neglect to guard against the rear.

When it was discovered that there was also an enemy behind it, the Qi army fell into a panic for a while. However, the morale of the Zhaowu army was greatly boosted, and the Qi army retreated.

Liu Haoyan said in a loud voice: "Don't care about the others, follow me to besiege and kill the enemy's commander." "

Most of the Qi army was fighting fiercely with the Zhaowu army, and Zhang Xia had less than a hundred people around him. Compared with heads-up, Liu Haoyan preferred group fighting, and a group of people quickly surrounded Zhang Xia.

Seeing that Zhang Xia was in danger, some Qi soldiers hurried to support, Wang Feng seized the opportunity and led the army to chase after him.

Zhang Xia has been stabbed several times, but fortunately, the armor is thick enough to survive until now. But the offensive of the Zhaowu army became more and more fierce, and Liu Haoyan took advantage of Zhang Xia's fight with others, saw the opportunity and stabbed his right arm. Feeling the severe pain, the long knife in his hand accidentally fell off, and the Zhaowu army rushed up and chopped Zhang Xia into a bloody man.

Seeing that Zhang Xia was dead, the Qi army no longer had the will to fight, and fled in all directions, and the Zhaowu army covered up all the way.

According to statistics after the war, the Zhaowu army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, killed 2,700 Qi troops, and captured 1,600 people.

Liu Haoyan said in ecstasy: "Hurry up and tell the marshal, our army is outside Luxian County, break the Qi army, and kill the enemy's main general." "

Zhang Xia's fiasco, Shen Tian knew about it earlier than Li Zhao. The soldiers of the Qi army who fled back to the camp told in detail about the battle.

After hearing this, Yang Xu sighed: "This general is bold and decisive in his use of soldiers, and Li Zhao also has capable people under him." Zhang

Xia's defeat was beyond everyone's expectations, and it affected the morale of the Qi army to some extent.

"Send someone to send an order to Yan Kang, ordering him to immediately lead his troops to attack and kill the Zhaowu army in Lu County. Remind him to be cautious, Zhang Xia's incident must not happen again. Shen Tian said to the lord of the army.

"You can do it below.

"In the past few days, Li Zhao has made any other moves?" Shen Tian looked at Yang Xu.

Yang Xu shook his head and said, "It's the same as before, the Zhaowu Army stuck to the camp and never came out of the camp to fight me.

Shen Tian's face was solemn, his original plan was to draw out the main force of the Zhaowu Army. With the help of the superiority of troops, in the field, it will be annihilated in one fell swoop. As if knowing what he was thinking, Li Zhao always avoided fighting.

According to the scouts, the Nanzheng City Gate has been closed and has never sent grain and grass to Li Zhao. As long as the siege continues, after Li Zhao's grain and grass are exhausted, he can only be forced to go out of the camp to fight me. What

Yang Xu said, Shen Tian naturally understood. As long as you persist in exhaustion, the Qi army must be victorious. A defeat outside Luxian did not change the overall situation in Hanzhong. But will Li Zhao really be willing to go on like this, Shen Tian didn't believe it in his heart, and always felt that Li Zhao was planning something.

"What has happened in the Zhaowu Army camp outside the Sword Gate Pass?"

"Like Li Zhao, avoid but not fight.

Yang Xu saw Shen Tian frowning, and clenched his fists and said: "The last general thinks that there are only two choices at present. Either continue to surround but not fight, trapping Li Zhao to death, or simply attack. "

If you want to capture Li Zhao's camp, how many troops do you need?" Shen Tiandao.

"At least 40,000 people, it will take a month. Yang Xu said.

Shen Tian secretly said that 40,000 people besieged Li Zhao, and he still had more than 30,000 troops in his hands, which could contain the Zhaowu army in other places and make it impossible to reinforce Li Zhao. After Feng Yunsong integrated the soldiers and horses of Shu and went out of the Sword Gate, the Qi army would have at least 40,000 more people to participate in the siege of Li Zhao. Li Zhao had neither food nor reinforcements, and was bound to be defeated. As long as Li Zhao dies, there will be no obstacle to the recovery of Hanzhong.

"Then let's go and fight. Shen Tian has made up his mind, "Tomorrow you will lead 40,000 troops to besiege Li Zhao." I'd like to see what else he can do.

Yang Xu's expression was solemn, "General Shen, please rest assured, the last general will definitely cut off Li Zhao's head."

After Yang Xu left, Shen Tian asked the commander of the army: "Does Feng Yunsong have any news from Shu?"

Lord Bo said: "It has not been received yet, and it will take some time for the Qi army to assemble in Shu, and it is estimated that General Feng will wait for the troops to be prepared before sending troops from Jianmen."

Shen Tian nodded, thinking that it should be so.

What he didn't know was that Feng Yunsong was indeed gathering troops from Shu now, but not to get out of the Sword Gate, but to eliminate Shi Ai.
