The night is deep, there is no moon tonight, and the characters are difficult to distinguish more than a dozen steps away, which is suitable for ambushes.
Five thousand five hundred Khitan knights quietly hid on the banks of the Sunset River, and although they did not dare to speak, the horses also tightened their chews to prevent them from suddenly raising their heads to the sky and revealing their whereabouts with a long neigh.
Five thousand five hundred men, five thousand five hundred horses, even if the sound of breathing came together, it was a sound that could not be hidden, but the roar of the river believed this very well, and if the Zhou army rushed closer to find them, it would have been too late.
The Khitans have already eaten a lot of sweetness when they fight the ambush of the Zhou army, their population is too small to withstand the consumption of the Zhou army, and this tactic is the most suitable.
Therefore, they habitually wanted to use the method of ambush to eliminate the Zhou army in Qianjinye City.
A commander quietly approached Luo Wuquan, the commander of the ambush army, and said in a low voice: "Big leader, the Zhou army has not moved yet, will they not dare to send troops?"
Luo Wuquan saw that Zhou Jun was not coming for a long time, and was a little annoyed, and said: "It's been three watches, they haven't moved at all, I think it's really enough to choke on coming, his grandmother's, is it that I put too many people and horses in Macheng, and I only sent 10,000 horses to scare them, so they don't dare to send troops." ” After Sun Wanrong commanded the Khitan army and defeated the Zhou army at the Dongxia Stone Valley, their entire strategic intentions began to change.
Previously, they had been living everywhere, fighting on the move, and had no long-term plans at all, to put it mildly, they were just a group of rootless rogues, even if they could achieve some temporary victories, they would easily collapse in the event of a setback.
Since Sun Wanrong defeated the Zhou army in the Dongxia Stone Valley, and even Wang Xiaojie was killed, they began to establish a strategy, continued to unite with the Xi people externally, and began to prepare for an alliance with the Turks.
Internally, they began to establish their own bases.
They have not yet sent anyone to the Turkic Alliance, the Turks are a powerful race that would make a powerful ally, but at the same time a dangerous one.
The Turks are capricious.
Only profit is for the sake of profit, and they do not pay more attention to the constraints of contracts and oaths than the Khitans.
They need to arrange everything first, establish their own territory, and then negotiate an alliance with the Turks.
As a result, the capture of Macheng and Qianjinye became a crucial step in their establishment of strongholds.
They attacked Lulong several times, and the Zhou army sent troops from this direction to relieve the siege of Lulong, although the rescue operations failed one after another, allowing them to take a big advantage, but also ruined their plan to occupy Lulong.
Now only by defeating these two cities can Lu Long be solved, because this matter is so important.
Sun Wanrong sent his right-hand man, Luo Wuquan, to take charge of this matter personally.
Luo Wu chewed a piece of hay, walked around the same place twice, and made a decision: "Wait, if Zhou Jun really can't shrink."
Then we will turn around and attack the north city of Horse City, attack from the north and south, and take this city first, so as to try to make a thousand gold. ” As soon as Luo Wuquan's words fell, the soldiers suddenly made a commotion, Luo Wuquan was furious, and shouted: "Those who say a word in vain, who dares to disobey the military order" "Commander, look at it."
His generals ignored his threat, but rushed to the front and pointed in one direction for him to see.
Luo Wuquan hurriedly turned around to look, only to see the fire shining in the distance, in the night, the firelight because of the distance, I can't see how powerful it is, but because of its remoteness, it can be seen that the fire is big.
Luo Wuquan was shocked: "Pingjiaao Pingjiaao has an accident" The commander next to him said in surprise: "The Zhou army is so capable, how do they know that our grain and baggage are stored there?"
Luo Wu said: "This is Wu Zhou's territory, there must be a mountain villager who reported the matter of our grain Pingjiaao to the Zhou army."
The commander hurriedly said: "Big leader, then what should we do, if the grain and grass are burned, our tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will have nowhere to stay." ” Luo Wu looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha, attack my granary, can you defeat me I left 3,000 elite soldiers in Pingjiaao, with the dangerous terrain of the mountain pass, no matter how many soldiers and horses they have, they don't want to capture my soldiers and horses for a moment When they were in Macheng, they had instructed the people and horses who stayed behind, if they were attacked by the enemy, set fire to warn, this must be a sneak attack by the Zhou army, and they released a warning signal."
Luo Wu said excitedly: "Order, all get on the horse, rush to Pingjiaao, be sure to rob this group of Zhou troops who attacked my rear camp, and wipe them out."
Luo Wucheng gave an order, the Khitan knights untied the horse's chew one after another, removed the soft cloth wrapped in the horse's hooves, and after a while, the front outpost rode the way, and the whole army lit torches, and killed Pingjiaao at a gallop against the starry sky.
"Hurry up and hurry up" Luo Wuquan whipped his horse and urged his soldiers loudly.
Riding a horse at night, I can't be too fast, but fortunately, I sent a sentry horse to guide the way, and the whole army lit torches, illuminating the entire road, so that the war horse can move forward at a speed of sixty percent in peacetime, more than 20 miles away, at such a speed, the loss of horsepower is actually great, but Luo Wuquan did not dare to delay, he was afraid that as soon as the fire alarm signal came out, the Zhou army's sneak attack was blocked, so he retreated decisively, in order to avoid the Zhou army escaping, he also deliberately made a detour, copied from the back road of the Zhou army.
"Karala" As the army was marching, the trees on both sides of the road suddenly fell one after another, smashing the huge canopy like a giant umbrella into the countless knights in the middle of the road, and then the sound of killing was everywhere, and countless sharp arrows shot from the night.
A single torch is the best target, and a sharp arrow that is thrown and fired directly, even if the head is not so good, is enough to cause a lot of damage if it is shot down in such a covering way.
"It's not good, there is an ambush quickly, disperse to the side of the road" Luo Wu pulled out the knife and shouted loudly.
Before he could say a word, a tall and sturdy horse stood out in the darkness, like a ghost emerging from the night, but the momentum it was carrying was incomparable, like a roaring beast, Ma Qiao sat on a horse, holding a bright saber, slashing left and right, and killed into the chaotic crowd.
"Kill, kill, kill" Countless knights swarmed from both sides of the road, in addition to the cavalry and many foot soldiers, they either held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, cutting the horse's legs and stabbing the horse's belly, or holding a long spear, taking advantage of the chaos of the scene, the Khitan cavalry could not play the advantage of speed at all, taking advantage of the darkness.
Stab the sharp tip of the spear into the chest of the Khitans.
There were many people in the Zhou army who had such and such injuries, and some of them were not even better, but once they entered the enemy formation, their blood boiled.
Forgot everything for a long time.
I just remember to wave the weapon in my hand desperately and listen to the "pop" sound of the sharp weapon piercing into the human body.
Listen to the screams of the enemy and kill even harder.
They are all survivors of the first battle of Huangzhang Valley, and they have not forgotten how they escaped from death, and they have not forgotten those comrades who died in battle.
Some of them are villagers and neighbors who enlisted in the army together, some are relatives and friends who are close to each other, and some are robes who sleep in the same big tent and eat in the same rice pot.
They all died in the Yellow Deer Valley, and this moment is the time for revenge The Zhou army that came out of the darkness was like a vengeful devil and a Khitan who had not lost his breath.
They did not forget to make up for the stabs, and the Khitans, who tried to escape, rushed forward regardless of the danger and knocked them over with their horses.
Those who did not ride a horse threw themselves under the horse's belly, cut off the horse's legs, stabbed the horse's belly, in short, everyone had to stay, and not a single one could go Tonight is a night of reckoning with hatred The Khitan general Xing Kai'er stood on the mountain, looking into the distance, and listened for a while, the fire that suddenly burned had gradually extinguished, and it was impossible to see clearly across a mountain, but the sound of the fight came clearly in this silent night, even if it was clearly distinguishable from a mountain.
"What the hell is going on" Although he had sent scouts, but across a mountain, although it looked close, it was not so simple to go down the mountain and climb around the mountain, and he had not been rewarded yet.

However, he had already vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it.
They were ambushed by the Zhou army.
Tonight, Xing Kaier was patrolling various police posts when he suddenly found a fire on the mountain in front of him.
Xing Kai'er was not worried at first, he thought it was just a sudden mountain fire, and it was impossible for this fire to burn, so they chose Naturally, a place with dense trees will not be chosen for grain storage.
The mountains in the north are not covered by jungle everywhere, especially in this area, not to mention winter, even in spring and summer, the slope in front of it is a large area of black rocks, only a few small trees and wild grasses are full of it, and the fire cannot burn.
But he immediately felt bad, because Luo Da Leader had instructed that if the Zhou army attacked the mountain, the beacon fire should be used as a warning, and he knew that Luo Wucheng was setting up an ambush tonight to prepare to fight the Zhou army by surprise, if Luo Da Leader saw the fire and thought that he was warning him, wouldn't it ruin the big leader's plan.
Xing Kai'er immediately sent people to the ambush place to report the situation, and at the same time sent people to climb the hillside where the fire broke out to see the situation, but the people who sent to report the news did not know if they had arrived, and the people who went to the front mountain to investigate the situation never came back, but at this moment there was a constant shouting of killing, and the matter was not obvious Several small leaders were so anxious that they asked for battle: "Criminal leader, this must be the design of the Zhou army, our people and horses who came back to help were ambushed, the criminal leader should immediately gather troops and horses to rush to reinforcements, the Zhou army only has a part of Qianjinye City, it is expected that there will not be too much, we have 3,000 people, it will play a big role."
Xing Kai'er was still hesitating: "The big boss ordered me to guard the grain and grass, this is the foundation of our army, in case of failure" Luo Wucheng's brother-in-law quit, and he burst out and scolded loudly.
"There is a fart, there are cliffs on both sides, can the Zhou army climb up If only three or five people come up, there is a bird to use, and if the Zhou army wants to attack this valley, you must first pass through the mountain in front, the front is fighting fiercely, the Zhou army can get by, you only need to leave three or five hundred people to take care of it, and the others go to reinforcements, why can't you be punished, you are greedy for life and afraid of death" Xing Kai's ears were so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted: "Yang Mei, don't rely on the prestige of Luo Da Leader, just treat me no big or small."
I'm in charge of this place."
When the leaders saw it, they stepped forward to persuade them, but they still thought that they should rush to the front mountain to help.
Xing Kai'er was helpless, so he had to order: "Leave 400 people to guard the grain and grass, and the others will be led by the commander and immediately rush to the front mountain to support" As soon as the punishment was opened, the three thousand Khitan soldiers immediately got busy.
At this time, Yang Fan had just climbed onto the cliff where Pingjiaao stood on the wall, and the mountain wind was howling, making his clothes tremble:
