Hengling was bathed in the faint moonlight, as if covered with a thin veil, beautiful and very quiet.

Li Hong walked slowly on the grass, pacing back and forth, and he couldn't make up his mind.

Tito's troops were fifty miles away at Bailing, and in the morning, once the Han army was detected, his troops were lightly armed and ready to catch up. The Han army walked with so many things, not to mention the slowness, and it would seriously affect the mobility of the troops. Once the two sides come into contact, it will be a big war, and it will be difficult to avoid it at all.

The troops have been marching continuously since yesterday evening, and they have not rested until now, and the soldiers are already very tired, and if they want to have a bloody battle, they may not be able to guarantee physical strength. This place is hilly and mountainous, and the terrain is not familiar to everyone, and it is not suitable for cavalry formation. If you get entangled with the enemy and get into a melee, the casualties will be huge.

Although Tito's troops fought a battle in the White Birch Valley yesterday, he besieged 2,000 men with 6,000 men, and under the absolute superiority, the casualties of the troops would not be too large, and the physical exertion of the soldiers was also limited. If they see that the fruits of their hard work for three or four months have been looted, their anger can be imagined, and in this case, it is indeed not good to fight against them.

Jade, Wu Zhao and a group of soldiers waited for Pegasus to arrive, shooting Yingtong, shooting tigers, Heng sacrifice, and Lu Huanyang also arrived.

Li Hong immediately asked for their opinions, to fight or not to fight? If there is a war, it is a bitter battle? If there is no fighting, then use the method of not fighting to meet the enemy.

To Li Hong's surprise, everyone unanimously demanded a decisive battle with the enemy in Hengling, and they did not hesitate to die.

"My lord, this foreign invasion, which began in Lulongse, is the first battle fought by our border army in Lulongse. Today, we finish at Hengling, and our border army of Lulongsai completes the final blow, think about it, what an exciting thing it is, aren't you excited? ”

The little lazy shouted loudly.

Li Hong's heart suddenly trembled violently, he thought of Tian Jing, thought of Ji Ming, and tears suddenly poured out.

"Look at it, look at this border army, how many old soldiers are there in Lulongse? My lord, take revenge! The lazy yelled again.

Li Song, Zheng Xin, and Tian Chong's eyes moistened, and the voices and smiles of their comrades-in-arms flew through their brains like lightning, and they involuntarily clenched their fists. After this battle, it is difficult to have a chance to recover the blood debt.

"Hit." Jade roared, "We have 8,000 people, and we will kill him fiercely, and let the Hu people know that the territory of the Han people is not a place where they can come and leave when they want." ”

"My lord, half of Dayan Mountain's brother has already gone to Yuyang, today, let the other half be buried here. This place has a nice view, and it's a good place to bury your bones. The beard laughed and said loudly.

Li Hong quietly turned around, stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and his heart swelled with determination to fight to the death.

He looked at Yingtong and the tiger. Shooting Yingtong is in her twenties, with a delicate appearance and superb archery skills. Like Qi Shen, he doesn't like to talk, but he is more introverted than Qi Shen. Seeing Li Hong's inquiring eyes, he immediately pulled the Shooting Tiger to kneel down on one leg, and said loudly: "The Wuye tribe has sworn that as long as the adults tell it, even if they are crushed, they will not give up." ”

Li Hong hurriedly pulled their brothers up and patted them on the shoulders hard.

Heng Xi and Lu Huanyang glanced at each other, and also knelt down on one leg.

Heng Sai said in a deep voice: "The grace of the Lord to save the White Deer is difficult to repay in this life and this life. Before leaving, the marshal said that everything should be seen by adults and horses, and they would follow each other to death. ”

Li Hong leaned over and pulled them up.

"Good. Today's bloody battle in Hengling. ”

The reason Titu was genuinely willing to withdraw was because the Black Feather King wanted to deal with him. King Black Feather quietly gathered an army of 10,000 and ambushed in Little Bear Mountain.

Tiget waited for this opportunity.

He bought off several influential big leaders in the clan, and they had long agreed with each other that as long as the Black Feather King personally came forward to deal with him and confronted him in the grassland, they would turn to support Ti Tu and force Nanlou to give way. Nanlou is old, not only timid, but also always stammers with the Han people, servile and servile, which is really insulting to the face of the Karasuma people.

Nanlou and the Han Army's leopard troops are preparing to deal with him, and Ti Tuo also knows it. Several of Nanlou's cronies have switched to Tito. The new masters are generous and willing to give their rewards, and of course they must do their best. Naturally, Ti Tu would not be so stupid as to continue walking the beech mountain home. But he told all his subordinates that he was going to go home from the Beech Mountain.

He ordered the convoy to be escorted from Hengling, but he did not tell him that he would also cross the border from Hengling. Now there are too many traitors on both sides, and there are some things that only you know the safest. Although he believed in the knot, he did not believe in the people under him. It wasn't until after the ambush in White Birch Valley that he led his troops to march in the direction of Hengling, and everyone knew it.

He didn't transport all the property captured by the Han Dynasty back to White Eagle Mountain, and he waited for this day. On the prairie, without spending a single soldier, he suddenly turned the dead old man into a dead turtle, and he had to laugh out loud when he thought about it. When you become a king, you can't do without expression, of course, you must reward the meritorious ministers. This batch of things comes in handy.

He lay on the hide of the beast and closed his eyes in contemplation, carefully scrutinizing every small link that might have happened in the rebellion against the building. He doesn't want to make a mistake because of small things and lead to a fall short.

The handsome Samshuai rushed in.

"My lord, the big thing is not good, Yu Jie and the convoy were attacked by the Han army in Hengling."

Tito's heart trembled, and his whole body immediately froze.

He opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the panicked Sam, and asked, "How did the news come from?" ”

"What the soldiers who fled back from Hengling said is absolutely true. The Han army suddenly appeared, and Yu Jie and his troops were caught off guard and annihilated, and most of the soldiers were taken prisoner. It is estimated that the Leopard Army did it. Now the scouts have been dispatched. Troops are being assembled. ”

Ti Tu slowly stood up, and said with a somewhat nervous expression: "Since this leopard arrived at the Upper Valley battlefield, our bad luck has not stopped. Is he really as good as the rumors say? ”

"The news we got is that his troops are ambushed in Zelkova Mountain, why did they suddenly appear in Hengling? The route of Hengling was set by us temporarily, how could it be leaked? ”

Then he shook his head, and there was a hint of murder in his eyes.

"I don't think much of it. You know how important this stuff is to me, and you know what it means to lose it. It doesn't matter if you die, you must not lose that batch of things, otherwise this time it will be completely over. ”

"The number of the Han army is not large, and after robbing things, they will definitely flee in the direction of Ningxian, which is closest to them. Our army is in Bailing, and he can only return to Ning County by means of Roe Deer. I led 3,000 men to the roe deer ditch to intercept them. You rushed to Hengling with 2,000 people, and after carefully inspecting the scene, you immediately chased after you from behind. Be quick. ”

"My lord, is it okay to divide your forces at this time? What if there were more enemies than we did? ”

"Unless the leopard can bring the dead back to life, he can't have that many troops. Ji Chou has been defeated and fled, he has no time to take care of himself, and there is such a small army left, what are you afraid of him? ”

"Once they flee into Ning County, we will not be able to attack the city for a while. We had no supplies, only three days of dry rations, after which we had to withdraw. By that time, we will be empty-handed, and we will return to Baishan with lost troops, and things will be quite complicated. This is the only way to stop them. Do you have a way? ”

Sam Jin shook his head embarrassedly and said in a low voice: "The leopard army is elusive, and it is extremely fast. If he had fled into Ning County first, we would have had nothing to do. Why don't you just go home? Although the hands are empty, the strength of the adults is still there. ”

Titok glared at him viciously, a pair of eyes that hated to kill him.

"This expedition has depleted all our reserves, and if we lose the spoils, we will be destitute, and we will have nothing but one war horse per man. If you go back like this, what strength is there? It will be swept away by the difficult building immediately, and it would be good to leave your life behind. ”

"The Han army was carrying prisoners and carts, and the speed could not be very fast. We had time. ”

"Hengling and Roe Deer Ditch are about fifty miles apart. You must remember to keep in touch with me and provide immediate support in case of trouble. As in the White Birch Valley, we fought for one more ambush at Roe Deer Gully. ”

"We'll take it back." Titu glanced at Sam and comforted him. In fact, he was also comforting himself.

With a random blow from the leopard, he sent Tifu, who was already in a good situation and had a bright future, into a desperate situation. This is probably something that Li Hong will never think of.

Li Hong chose the battlefield at the entrance of Hengling.

There are very long slopes here, which are suitable for cavalry sprinting. The slope is not very straight and is tree-based. Li Hong ordered the soldiers to cut down all the trees and open up a huge open space.

On either side of this entrance, there are hilly hills. Although the hidden troops are better, they are not conducive to the deployment of cavalry, and they cannot use the speed of cavalry to attack.

The meadow surrounded by hills is about two miles in circumference and extends into another small mountainous area.

Li Hong stood at the top of the slope and remembered the Mazui slope. It was the first time he had participated in a battle with a large army, and he was very nervous at that time, and Murong Feng also taught him how to adjust his emotions. Fate plays tricks on people like this, and now everyone has become enemies, and even good friends can't do it.

Snow. He remembered the wind and snow again. Anyway, Feng Xue is his friend. Although I can no longer see her, I always think of her and can't forget it. If I had the chance to see her again......

"Adult ......"

Tie Yue's voice suddenly remembered in his ears. Li Hong was taken aback, and suddenly woke up from the smile of the wind and snow.

"My lord, the scouts are coming to report, the Karasuma people and soldiers are divided into two routes, all the way to the north, all the way to Hengling."

Li Hong laughed.

"Okay, as I wish. Tito would never have imagined that we were going to fight him in Hengling. ”

"To the north? Where to the north? Li Hong asked, "Is it a roe deer ditch?" ”

Tie Yue nodded, "Exactly." My lord, that was the closest road we had back to Ning County. Titu probably thought of blocking us there. ”

"Ti Tuo is very smart, very decisive, and powerful." Li Hong said with a smile, "It's a pity that these people always think that we are not brave and dare not fight with them, which leads to errors in judgment, and we can't be defeated if we want to." Order the scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the enemy heading north to prevent them from returning suddenly. ”

In the morning, the scouts suddenly went berserk. They went in and out one after another, and the news came back one after another.

The marshal Samsa was galloping with two thousand cavalry.

"Dashuai, our scouts can't enter Hengling." A handsome man ran to the side of Shen Jin and shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Shen Jin's brows furrowed, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

"We haven't been able to get close to Hengling, and none of the scouts who went in have returned. I suspect there is an ambush on Hengling? ”

"You're young, it's good for you to use some brains. If the enemy sets up an ambush in Hengling, of course he hopes that we will rush there as soon as possible, and what are you doing by killing the scouts? Deliberately telling us that there was an ambush there, telling us not to go? Sam said contemptuously.

The young man was a little weak-hearted, didn't dare to squeak, and waited for the big handsome to continue to speak.

"The Han people robbed us of our things, and they couldn't run yet, so they would set up an ambush in Hengling? We have an army of 5,000, and they want to ambush us, unless they want to die. ”

"Order the troops to pick up the pace."

"Commander......" shouted Youyou, "let's send a team to take a look first." ”
