Cao Renshi, Zhang Xuanyu, and Ma Renjie urged the Chinese army to hurry up, and Wu Chengzhao's battle report was suddenly sent from the front.
When Cao Renshi saw the battle report, he couldn't help but be stunned: "I underestimated this Wu Chengzhao, I didn't expect him to conquer the Huangzhang Valley Pass first with only one road." ” Zhang Xuanyu took the battle report, looked at it carefully, and said excitedly: "Okay, we should march quickly, take Li Qianzhong's back road, kill him by surprise, if we can cooperate with the Lulong garrison, and not wait for the soldiers and horses in Danzhou, Guishun and other places to arrive, we can completely annihilate the rebels."
Ma Renjie stood next to him, also looked at the battle report, and wondered: "Could it be that there is a fraud in it, it is a canyon."
Although the servant does not know the art of war, he also knows that this kind of place is the easiest place to set up ambushes. ” Cao Renshi shook his head and said, "Ma Shaoqing, you think too highly of the Khitans, how do they know the art of war."
You see, according to the confessions of the Khitans, they failed in their attack on Pingzhou and are now attacking Lulong, which is consistent with the information we received earlier.
Moreover, the defenders of Huangzhang Valley Mouth have no more than five arrows per capita, all of them have vegetables, and they have already been out of food for many days, which is also confirmed by the forward. ” Zhang Xuanyu said: "Also, the terrain of the Huangzhang Valley, the general once understood, the Grand Canyon is gourd-shaped, only suitable for holding the valley mouth, the middle section is quite wide, not suitable for ambush, and the length of the canyon is more than twenty miles, such a stretch of the front, the Khitans are only less than 70,000 people, if you want to ambush the army, one is not enough troops, and the other is that so many men and horses are ambushed on both sides, it will definitely be found but if it is too scattered, it will not play the role of ambush application." ” Ma Renjie didn't know the art of war, but when he heard the two generals say this, he didn't say much at the moment.
Cao Renjie immediately ordered.
The three armies rushed to the Huangzhang Valley at full speed.
Cao Renshi led the army to Huangzhang Valley and personally interrogated the soldiers, who had been in the army for many years and had fought several treacherous battles.
Real hunger or fake hunger, can't hide from his eyes at all.
Cao Renshi looked at those Khitan soldiers, with skeletal shapes, vegetable-colored faces, swollen calves, and the appearance of hunger was indeed not pretending.
Zhang Xuanyu also inspected the Khitans who had surrendered on the other side of the cliff, and the Khitans on this side had surrendered directly without a fight.
There were indeed not many arrows in their quivers, because the side of the mountain they were guarding was dangerous, and even one person only had three arrows, which was not as many as the arrows carried by the Khitans on the other side of the hill that was broken.
He sent people up the mountain to investigate, and there were indeed many large stones piled up on the edge of the cliff.
Cao Renshi summed up these circumstances and no longer doubted it, so he and Zhang Xuanyu hurriedly discussed, when their vanguard arrived, the Khitan people's eyes had already rushed back to report the news, but the time from now is no more than two hours.
If the army marches at once.
Then it is completely possible to suddenly appear in the rear of the Khitans when they just got the news.
Even if it's a little later.
The Khitans were not as well trained as the Zhou army, and they wanted to gather the soldiers and horses attacking the four cities and retreat as a whole.
The time is far more than two hours, as long as the troops are out of the Huangzhang Valley immediately.
It's also enough to catch up with them before they run away.
Moreover, if the Khitans have already begun to flee, the main force of the Zhou army will be more likely to launch a one-sided massacre.
The fighter plane is fleeting, and without further ado, it should be set off immediately.
Cao Renshi decisively ordered to gather all the cavalry, pass through the Huangzhang Valley as fast as possible, bite the main force of the Khitan rebels, prevent them from escaping, and delay the footmen, so that they can arrive at the critical moment when the forward cavalry and the Khitans are exhausted, and then give the final blow.
According to Cao Renshi's order, 60,000 cavalry in the 100,000 army took the lead in rushing into the valley, Wu Chengzhao's department was still the vanguard, three miles away from the main cavalry, as an outpost to explore the horse, Wu Chengzhao was not ambiguous, still ordered Maqiao to be the vanguard, and three miles away from it, and rushed into the Huangzhang Valley.
Cao Renshi, Zhang Xuanyu and others never regarded the Khitans as great enemies from the bottom of their hearts, and they didn't want to give up this great battle, so they all went first with the elite cavalry, and the 40,000 foot soldiers behind were led by a general, and at the same time they were escorted by the hundreds of Khitans who surrendered.
If there is really an ambush, these Khitan soldiers will undoubtedly be the first to die, and the angry Zhou soldiers will cut them into meat sauce, but from their expressions, there is no abnormality.
These people are all real dead soldiers, and they either die at the hands of Zhou Jun with their whole families, or they are willing to serve as bait in order to earn a way to survive for their parents or their wives and children.
These people's physique is already weak, whether they are running around the prairie or fighting in thousands of armies, they are the most vulnerable group of people to die, so they would rather use their lives to break a way for their people to survive.
Even their hunger was not disguised in the slightest.
When they decided to play the role of a group of impoverished and weak pawns, they did not bring a grain of food, and they had been here for more than ten days, and for more than ten days they had been feeding on wild vegetables and small beasts they had hunted, and before the Zhou army arrived, they even had two weak people starving to death.
If they weren't so ruthless to themselves, even if they could hide from Ma Qiao and Wu Chengzhao, how could they hide from Cao Renshi and Zhang Xuanyu, who had been Rong Ma all their lives Ma Qiao rushed to the front, scanning the mountains and dense forests on both sides with keen eyes, and inhaling intoxicated in the mountain wind that came through the valley.
All these years of hard work in the army have not been in vain, and today all this hard work has finally come in handy.
He doesn't have the opportunity of his good brother Yang Fan, nor does he have the ability to be able to be a martial artist like Yang Fan, but he also has his own dreams.
He was originally a gangster, but he was scolded by Yang Fan and woke up.
From that day on, he wanted to live a good life, worthy of his brother's trust and his mother's nurturing.
Later, he married his daughter-in-law, and now he has his own baby son, and the responsibility in his heart is even heavier, for His own wife, for the sake of his children, he also has to make great contributions, establish great causes, earn a great career, and earn a big family business.
In addition to this, there are honors Whenever he returned to the workshop in his military uniform, whenever he was promoted to the rank of officer, and those childhood friends gathered around him to look at him with envy, compliment, and even some awe, he felt a kind of heartfelt pride.
His good brother Yang Fan helped him point out a way, but if he wanted to go down this road, he had to rely on himself Twenty miles of road, quickly passed under the feet of the cavalry, and as soon as they came out of the valley, they suddenly opened up.
On the right, a large river, rolling eastward, is rolling along the foot of the mountain.
On the right side is the undulating hills, with clumps of shrubs, and there is a smooth road ahead, Ma Qiao has already looked at the map, and knows that it is Lu Long who walks along this road, and he is in good spirits, and he knocks the horse's belly hard, and spends his speed forward.
Wu Chengzhao led his troops and horses to follow behind the horse bridge from a distance, and when he rushed out of the valley, he breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as he saw Ma Qiao in the distance personally holding a banner of the Zhou army, hunting in the wind and leaving the dust, Wu Chengzhao felt a little angry in his heart.
He had the intention to call Ma Qiao and rush to the front by himself, but after thinking about it, although this place was still far from Lu Long, it was difficult to guarantee that the Khitans would not have a guard post on the way.
As soon as he thought that he might have to fight in a short fight, Wu Chengzhao dispelled the idea of going to the front line in person, and continued to eat dirt behind Ma Qiao's ass with hatred.

He whipped the horse's ass hard, and vented all his anger on the warhorse, and the warhorse surged forward, and just more than ten feet long, a desolate horn suddenly sounded in the hilly area on the left.
Wu Chengzhao looked at it in amazement, and saw a big flag suddenly emerging from behind the hills, and a lifelike blue wolf greeted the big banner The wind swayed, followed by a wolf-like roar, and the dense Khitan cavalry, wielding swords and guns, let out a strange and terrifying roar, pounced on them.
Before the soldiers and horses arrived, the strange roar gathered into a wave of qi.
"There is an ambush" Wu Chengzhao grabbed the reins of the horse, the two trembled, and he didn't know whether to flee back to the valley to "find his mother", or chase Ma Qiao to flee out, a rain of arrows fell down like a torrent, and in an instant, Wu Chengzhao was shot into a hedgehog, and he no longer had to be embarrassed by his difficult choice.
The main force of the Zhou army lined up a small phalanx, galloping out of the valley, the horses galloped lightly, not slow or hurried, they were not pioneers, they did not need too fast speed, so that they could leave the valley at a faster speed, and at the same time they could keep the horses full of physical strength in order to quickly enter the battle.
But the galloping horses soon stopped, and they were horrified to find that the mountain pass ahead was already full of boundless Khitan cavalry.
The reason why the Khitans used the fastest speed to greet with bows and arrows to avoid contact with Wu Cheng Zhao was that they didn't want anyone to escape back to deliver the letter, so they shot ten times more than Wu Cheng Zhao with ten times the strength of Wu Cheng Zhao, and quickly solved this small group of Zhou troops, and then entered the valley and set up a position.
Zhou Jun looked at the Khitans on the opposite side in astonishment, these Khitans looked a little hesitant and a little suspicious, that was because of the psychological pressure brought to them by the strong impression that the Central Plains Dynasty had always given them, although they had not only attacked one city, but had not fought with so many main forces of the Zhou army.
But at the same time, there was a touch of ferocity and cruelty in their eyes, which was the hatred that they had long thought had been oppressed and humiliated by the Zhou people, and it was also the innate wild beastliness in the bone blood of a grassland herdsman, and the wind, snow and sandstorm in the desert grassland sharpened them into rough and unyielding iron-blooded tough guys.
"Roar Roar" The unique shouting of the Khitans when hunting in order to intimidate and drive away wild beasts gathered together was a kind of breathtaking sound, which was amplified by the valley several times, and with this surging sound, the Khitans, who had already been prepared and armed with bows and arrows, took the lead in attacking.
The arrows rushed towards the Zhou army, like shooting at a group of yellow sheep whose way was blocked by them, and then they raised their swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and roared, roared, and shouted at an almost crazy speed, and rushed towards the sheep like tigers, with only prey in their eyes, completely ignoring death.
At the same time, at the exit of the valley, a billowing wolf smoke rose into the sky.
The wolf smoke rises, and the long knife goes:
