However, the speed of this troop transfer was somewhat slow. This is still the defender's troops transferred from the nearby defenders, otherwise it will be slower. This Huangzhou is a big place, and the north and south are also long. The transfer of troops is not very fast.

It was not until the third watch that the troops were assembled. Hu Lu gave a simple lecture and told the soldiers to go to rest first, and the next day, it was dawn before they set off.

An army of 30,000 people set out from the city of Huangzhou and advanced to the southwest.

The place where the spies came to report was a mountain beam, and it was indeed not suitable for cavalry marching. There is also a section of the stone cliff road on this mountain beam, which cannot be passed by the war horses.

When Hu Lu saw this situation, he could guess why the Han army was weakly guarded here. Although it is not a natural hazard here, it can be regarded as a complicated road. The attacker is not very easy to attack.

However, fortunately, he wanted to be an infantryman, so he was naturally very familiar with such a road, and he also knew how to fight such a battle.

Hu Lu walked on this mountain beam while being proud in his heart. I thought that this was my chance to make meritorious contributions. Now, the defenders of the Han army only had 20,000 people, and he brought 30,000 men, all of whom were excellent infantry. In this way, the odds are great.

"Haha, Han Jun, Han Jun, you think you're very smart, don't you? Seeing that this is a dangerous place surrounded by high mountains, there is no need to send heavy troops to defend it. But you didn't expect it. General Ben will take his army to attack you now. By the time I get down, it'll be a gap. The large army of our Tatar army can enter from here and attack your Anzhou City directly. Haha, wonderful, wonderful! ”

Hu Lu said with a smug smile, in fact, he was talking to himself.

The leader of the Han army defending in the col at the end of this mountain beam was Sun Ming. By this time, he had known that a 30,000-strong army of Tatars was coming here.

"It's good to come, but there are fewer people who come, and it's not fun. However, you all remember that after the battle, after a fight, you will feign defeat and retreat, you know? Sun Ming told the soldiers below in the tent.

"Yes, General." The following young generals all surrendered their orders.

Sun Ming said with a smile: "As long as the Tatar army is allowed into the mountain pass, there are still Chen Qing's troops waiting for them inside, and they will not return." ”

After Sun Ming made arrangements and deployments, he also withdrew his tent and waited for the Tatar army to attack.

It was getting dark, and Sun Ming said to the commanders below: "I guess these Tarnu troops will definitely choose to attack at night, and tell the soldiers that they must cheer me up." Don't let the Tatars really give us a sneak attack.

"Yes, General."

Several unit chiefs responded to Sun Ming in unison.

At this time, Sun Ming also had dinner and just waited for the Tatar army to attack.

The Tatar army had already come to the top of the mountain beam, standing on it, and by the moonlight and starlight, they could clearly see the Han army camp in the col below.

A commander asked Hu Lu and said, "General, I'm afraid it's time for the Han army to have dinner, isn't it better to attack at this time?" ”

Hu Lu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, we still have to wait until the third watch, while most of the soldiers of the Han army are sleeping, that is the right time for a sneak attack." ”

The commander nodded and said, "Yes, what the general said is very true, then let's continue to wait!" ”

Hu Lu nodded and said, "Well, just keep waiting!" ”

The moon climbed from the east to the center of the sky, and at this time, the third watch was almost approaching. Hu Lu immediately asked the soldiers to prepare.

The soldiers of the Tatar army did not dare to slack off. Hurry up and get ready to go.

Hu Lu had already deployed tactics for the situation in the Han army's barracks. It was the soldiers who divided into two ways and surrounded the Han army's military camp from both wings, so that the Han army had nowhere to escape.

Just as the moon was hiding in the clouds, Hu Lu gave the order to attack.

At this time, the Han army camp was quiet, except for the torches and braziers, there were only those standing guard on the periphery.

"Oh no, the Tatars are here."

When the Tatars rushed down the hill, the Han soldiers standing guard shouted and retreated into the camp. Then the camp became bustling, with those who came to meet the battle and those who ran in all directions.

When Hu Lu saw such a scene, he knew that he was more sure of winning.

"Report, the Han army was killed by us and fled westward." A soldier came to report.

When Hu Lu heard this, he said, "Give me chase." ”

"Yes."

After saying that, the little soldier ran to convey the order, and Hu Lu also went down the mountain beam and came to the barracks abandoned by the Han army. Just looked at it briefly, and then, he followed the wrong one to pursue.

This time it was a mountain march, and even Hu Lu, the general, did not ride a horse. However, Hu Lu is also a soldier who trains all day, and he is also very adaptable to this kind of foot army.

Not only that, but he's also running fast.

A large force of 30,000 men pursued them to the west. When they caught up with another mountain pass, the figure of the Han army disappeared.

At this time, the moon was completely obscured by the clouds rising from the sky, and the earth suddenly went dark. I almost couldn't see my fingers.

However, the soldiers all carry torches, so they can light them.

Suddenly the col lit up, as if a fire had been lit in a pit.

"General, the Han army is gone, where are we chasing?" The commander asked Hu Lu and said.

Hu Lu said: "We continue to the west. ”

The commander said, "General, I'm afraid that we will enter the hinterland of the Han army in the west." Then with our little strength, it's not like a wolf is in the account! ”

When Hu Lu heard the words of the commander, he pondered.

After a while, Hu Lu said: "Well, what you said makes sense, if you go westward again, you will be besieged by the Han army." It is better to withdraw to the abandoned camp of the Han army, and then the general will send people back to the city of Huangzhou to report to the general, so that the general can send more men and horses, and then march west. ”

When the commander heard Hu Lu's words, he nodded again and again, and said, "The general's plan is very wonderful!" In this way, we can be regarded as capturing a guard point of the Han army. Although he didn't kill many Han troops, it was a big victory. ”

Hu Lu smiled and said, "Well, you're right. In this way, we can also explain to the general, as for whether the general sends someone or not, that is the general's business. ”

The commander smiled and said, "General, then what are we waiting for?" Hurry up and give the order for the soldiers to go back! ”

Na Hu Lu listened to the centurion's words, nodded, and asked again: "Commander Qian, how far are we from the barracks that the Han army lost now?" ”

The commander thought for a moment and said, "At least ten miles away!" ”

"So far?" Hu Lu asked in surprise.
