On March 18 of the first year of Zhou Xiande, after a rapid march, Chai Rong, the lord of Zhou, arrived at a small place a few miles away from Gaoping and ordered the troops to rest in place. (.)

At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to quickly build a high platform to worship the heavens, and sent the soldiers who died in the invasion of the Northern Han Dynasty at this time, and the morale was great for a while.

At the same time, Shirong was also ready to attack the combined forces of the Northern Han and Khitan at any time, but he was opposed by everyone, because Chai Rong ordered the forward army to march quickly, but was left behind by the follow-up troops.

Originally, the follow-up troops would soon be able to catch up, but his marching speed was too fast, and the rear army led by Liu Ci was left behind by Heyang Jiedu, and there was still no trace of it.

Thinking of this, Chai Rong was very worried, so he sent someone to contact Liu Ci urgently, and this time there could be no negligence.

In fact, this is also to blame Chai Rong, when Chai Rong drove the expedition in person, he had already asked Heyang Jiedu to make Liu Ci gather the reserve army of the Zhou army as the rear army.

Liu Ci is also actively implementing Chai Rong's orders, and the army has been assembled and is preparing to join Chai Rong.

Here, Chai Rong was furious when he heard that Li Yun had been defeated again, and ordered the troops to speed up, and at the same time asked people to send orders to Liu Ci. There are only a few sentences on it:

"Order your troops to go directly to Gaoping to meet me, and you don't have to stop halfway." Chai Rong's meaning is very simple, the troops go directly to Gaoping for a decisive battle.

Liu Chong is now full of ambition, unlike the historical Gaoping Battle, this time the Northern Han Dynasty occupied Jinzhou and occupied the advantage, and now Liu Chong is preparing to go south to Kaifeng.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that Liu Chong still didn't expect Chai Rong to come in person, and he wouldn't have thought that this time might be the last time he would fight Chai Rong on the battlefield in his life.

Chai Rong listened to the persuasion of the generals and did not rush to send troops, he was also worried about the situation that the enemy was outnumbered, of course, he had to consider it carefully.

But he really couldn't get used to the arrogance of the Han army, and then saw that the Zhou army had lost several battles in a row and its morale was low, so he had to find a way to reverse it.

At this time, Zhao Xu gave Chai Rong a note that he could use a small force to sneak attack, and now the Han army, which has just defeated our army, will definitely relax its vigilance, and we can take it by surprise and strike hard.

Chai Rong also thinks it is feasible, according to Chai Rong's meaning, this idea was Zhao Xu, so this task is naturally Zhao Xu to perform reads;.

So Chai Rong immediately ordered Zhao Xu to lead 3,000 soldiers to the north first, as the vanguard of the army to attack the Han army, their purpose was not to win a big victory.

Instead, the focus is to give the Han army a certain blow and make it annoying.

"The Art of War" has a cloud: "Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles; Knowing oneself without knowing the other, one wins and one loses; I don't know who I am, I don't know myself, I will die in every battle. ”

After Zhao Xu received the order, he did not lead the troops to set off immediately, but immediately gathered more than 100 cavalry members of the whole army.

Let these 100 people form a scout team to explore the way to the front of the forward, and at the same time appoint Gao Huailiang as the captain and let them spy on the situation ahead.

These people are the elite of the army, not only superb riding skills, but also very extraordinary, much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xu chose them, at this time they were already walking in the vast Taihang Mountain.

Don't look at the rugged mountain roads, but in the eyes of these elites, they finally know what elites are.

Zhao Xu led the rest of the troops to walk slowly, he didn't dare to advance, he had to wait until Gao Huailiang's intelligence arrived to make plans.

At this time, Gao Huailiang and the others had already crossed the mountains and walked in the dense forest. Everyone saw that Gao Huailiang was very familiar with this place, and couldn't help but be very curious:

"Captain, how do you know this place so well?" A soldier named Ergouzi beside Gao Huailiang asked.

Gao Huailiang smiled slightly: "After my father died, our family was also arrested by the government, and we hid in this mountain at that time. ”

"I remember that my eldest brother took me here to hunt some game and dig herbs to make a living, of course I am familiar with this place, and you tell the brothers that this mission is very important."

"We have to deal with more people back then, and know more useful information, which is very helpful to our characters, and it will be much more convenient for us to complete the mission at that time."

Ergouzi nodded yes again and again, conveyed Gao Huailiang's order to no one else, and strictly ordered not to have any conflicts with the local people.

Gao Huailiang also fully exerted his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and the surrounding Orion Medicine Farmers were hot.

In addition, he himself used to be mixed in this generation, and he had a natural closeness to the people here, and along the way, the soldier saw a completely different Gao Huailiang.

His efforts were not in vain, and many locals were willing to help them, especially when they heard that they were the army of the Great Zhou.

The people here have a natural sense of belonging to Da Zhou, and they are also very enthusiastic about them.

These hunters have no other skills, but they are very familiar with the grass and trees here, Gao Huailiang just ordered to rest in place, and a hunter who just wanted to squint and sleep suddenly jumped up.

Then he put his ear to the ground and said loudly:

"General, there is a large force of men and horses rushing towards us, judging by the sound of horses' hooves, there are quite a few people!"

Gao Huailiang also felt the shaking of the ground, and it seemed that the enemy army was not far away, so he immediately ordered:

"All of them, light and simple, get on the horse to spy on the military."

Hearing his order, the soldiers threw away some bulky things such as dry food, carried only steel knives and a spear, turned over their horses, and then followed Gao Huailiang to the north.

After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, he noticed that there was smoke and dust from the march of the troops to the north, and flags could be faintly seen.

The two dogs who saw it immediately saw that it was the banner of the Northern Han Dynasty

"General, that's the army of the Northern Han Dynasty."

Gao Huailiang's heart also sank, it stands to reason that the army of the Northern Han Dynasty was not led by Zi Jinyang, and was preparing to go south to Kaifeng, how did he come here/

Then Gao Huailiang was relieved: "This must be the army of the Northern Han Dynasty used to block the troops of Taihang Mountain!"

As long as you enter Luzhou, the nearest distance is through the Taihang Mountain, weapons and this mountain pass is an easy to defend and difficult to attack place.

As long as you hold your throat, don't think about coming over, if you really let them occupy, we will be in danger.

Gao Huailiang, who was born in a military family, instantly understood the intentions of the Northern Han Dynasty, in fact, he guessed that he was not far from ten.

This army was really prepared by Zhang Yuanhui to prevent the army of the Great Zhou from raiding from here, and according to his words, it was prepared.

With the same these, Gao Huailiang immediately ordered:

"Wang Ergou, you immediately take a few people back to the army quickly, and remind the general to speed up the march, it's too late.

As for the rest of the people, we will go and meet these Northern Han forwards to see if their necks are hard or our Great Zhou's steel knives are hard

Don't look at the fact that there are less than 100 people under Gao Huailiang now, but you must know that these are all warriors who are one in a million.

Their morale was very high, looking at the Northern Han army advancing in the distance, Gao Huailiang suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "Cavalry, raid, rush"

Hearing his order, the soldiers urged their horses to rush forward, and the speed was like an arrow being shot

Gao Huailiang took the lead and rushed to the front of the team.

The Northern Han army won all these battles, and may have relaxed its defense. Seeing that the distance with the Northern Han Army was getting closer and closer, the Northern Han Army finally found the dozens of cavalry rushing from the opposite side.

Commander Zhang Yuanhui shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, defense!" ”

But the hastily prepared army, where can it stop the high-speed charge of Gao Huailiang's troops, especially if one side is an elite cavalry.

Since ancient times, cavalry and infantry have had the advantage in battles, let alone elite cavalry among elites.

At this time, the war horse has already run out of interest, and the faster it runs! Gao Huailiang brought their bodies close to the war horse, holding the reins in one hand and the long knife in the other, constantly tapping the hind legs of the war horse to make it accelerate

Zhang Yuanhui is also worthy of being a famous general, and he did not show surprise when he was suddenly attacked by the enemy, and then calmed down and methodically commanded the army to resist the enemy's attack!

Anyway, the road here is so narrow that it can't be used by a large force of cavalry, and your cavalry is valiant, but after all, there are few of them.

At this time, Gao Huailiang had already led his cavalry squad to charge three rounds in a row, and the corpses of the Han army were lying on the ground.

At this time, Zhang Yuanhui realized that this was the elite cavalry of the Great Zhou army, and hurriedly commanded the army, held the position, and waited for reinforcements, on the one hand, desperate resistance.

At this time, when Zhao Xu received Gao Huailiang's notice, he ordered the troops to march quickly, and soon came here.

Seeing from a distance, Gao Huailiang was fighting with the Benhan army, he didn't say a word, and immediately let the soldiers rush forward.

The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty rushed over like a tide, and Zhang Yuanhui did not lead many troops in the first place, and he suffered a loss at this moment.

No matter how heroic he is, there is no way to do it, and if he has no soldiers, it is in vain to say anything. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

In desperation, he had to order his remnants to retreat and flee, and he also knew that this would have a great impact on morale, and it would be better than the annihilation of the entire army.

As his order was given, the Han army began to retreat, and the scene of the Han army, which was busy fleeing, was a mess.

Zhao Xu had this opportunity, where was he willing to give up, so he led a large army to accelerate the attack on the retreating Han army.

It is said in the book of war; 'Poor Kou Mo chases, he is afraid of being scheming. ’

Looking at the formation of the Northern Han Army, do you still want to do it deliberately, Zhao Xu gave the order to pursue very decisively.

What is unimaginable is that with a small number of troops, the army of the Northern Han Dynasty was defeated.

Zhang Yuanhui led the remnants of the army and fled north in a hurry, Zhao Xu did not give the order to pursue again, and his cavalry would be exhausted.

At the same time, there are not many people he leads, in case they encounter the main force of the Northern Han Dynasty, they are not meat buns and dogs, and the more important reason is that he is afraid that there will be burial in front of him.

It was crucial to win this sneak attack and hold the fortress near Gaoping, and at the same time, it also improved the morale of the sluggish Great Zhou.

Besides, Zhang Yuanhui, running non-stop all the way, where is there still a trace of a general's demeanor at this time, this can't blame him for who is not afraid of death, right? .
