The rumbling sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, Xu Huang stepped on the war horse, holding the Bagua Xuanhua axe, which was like a tiger with wings, leading the five hundred cavalry behind him, and roaring towards the Yuan soldiers who were chasing him.

The soldiers of the Yuan army were chasing, and suddenly they saw a group of cavalry, about 500 horsemen, and everyone was panicked and retreated sharply.

"Kill!"

Xu Huang took the lead, took the lead, galloped wildly, brandished the Bagua Xuanhua axe, like an arrow off the string, and flew towards the Yuan soldiers.

With the help of the horse's running speed and great collision force, Xu Huang rushed straight into the Yuan soldiers with a "boom", and directly knocked several Yuan soldiers out of the distance, fell heavily to the ground, and couldn't get up again.

And Xu Huang is even more holding the gossip Xuanhua axe, slashing left and right, and no one can beat him wherever he passes.

"Boom!"

A louder bang came from behind Xu Huang, and all five hundred cavalry rushed up, and the soldiers of the Yuan army, who were chasing Xu Huang just now, suddenly encountered the cavalry at this time, and the situation changed greatly, and the infantry could not stop it, so they had to retreat desperately backwards.

However, the soldiers who caught up behind did not understand what was happening in front, and the two waves of soldiers collided together, blocking the road, and suddenly became chaotic.

The five hundred cavalry led by Xu Huang rushed over directly, holding their blades, and slaughtered these Yuan soldiers at will.

Lei Xu stood on the shore and saw the situation on the other side clearly, only for a while. He lost more than 1,000 soldiers. And he's also in a hurry. I really wanted to drive the army to fight in the past, but due to the obstruction of the Gaojia River, I couldn't quickly reach the other side.

"Archer prepare!"

Lei Xu couldn't cross the river, but he couldn't let the enemy be so rampant, seeing that this cavalry only had a few hundred people, it was guessed that the enemy might have sent them to harass them, plus the previous haunting incident, and the collapse of the wooden bridge. All these things seem to be enough to illustrate the fact that the enemy army does not want the army to cross the river.

He had lost contact with Ji Ling's army for a whole day, and the scouts sent had never returned, and he didn't know what was happening ahead, but through the various actions of the enemy army, it was not difficult for him to guess that the enemy army must have surrounded Ji Ling with a large army. Otherwise, this cavalry would not have been sent here to harass them.

With Lei Xu's order. The archers came to the shore, drew their bowstrings, mounted their bows, and raised their heads to the sky at an angle of forty-five degrees, ready to give an order.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that the archers were ready, Lei Xu immediately shouted loudly.

"Whoosh ......"

The arrows came out of the string one after another, and they shot wildly towards the opposite bank.

Seeing this, Xu Huang immediately ordered a retreat to avoid being hurt by the arrows.

Fortunately, he made a quick decision, and as soon as he retreated, thousands of arrows fell on that side, which was really thrilling.

At this time, Xu Huang asked his subordinates to let go of Daxiao, and he himself was even more angry, shouting at the opposite bank: "The wooden bridge is broken, I see how you cross the river!" Ji Ling has also been surrounded by our army in Maqiuju, tomorrow morning, our army will launch a general attack, and when the time comes, it will inevitably annihilate Ji Ling's department! hahaha......"

Lei Xu listened to it in his ears, but he remembered it in his heart, he was not worried about whether Ji Ling was dead or alive, he was worried about his brother Lei Bo.

He frowned, and when he saw Xu Huang and the others withdrawing their troops, he immediately asked people to build a wooden bridge overnight, preparing to cross the river to Maqiuju tonight!

Yuan had many soldiers, and after Lei Xu's order, tens of thousands of soldiers went to cut down trees, and then erected a pontoon bridge over the Gaojia River. The whole process only took half an hour.

Sure enough, there are a lot of people.

Li Feng escaped back by luck, was reprimanded by Lei Xu, let him lead the rear army, he himself personally led the 30,000 army in front, let Li Feng lead the army to follow closely, the whole army accelerated the march, be sure to arrive at Maqiuju before dawn.

After this order was issued, there were many complaints among the soldiers of the Yuan army, they had been marching for days, they were already very tired, and at this time they had to rush to Maqiuju, which was eighty miles away, and they were still walking on foot, which was terrible to think about.

But the order is like a mountain, and if you don't go, you will engage in military law, and Lei Xu is a well-known Lei Laohu, no one dares to offend him, for fear of angering Lei Xu, but becoming a ghost under the knife.

However, more than 200 wounded soldiers who fell from the bridge were left behind because they could not walk, and for a while, the soldiers of Yuan Jun were not envious, and they really hoped that they could also become wounded soldiers. For this reason, many soldiers used their brains to harm themselves, made themselves wounded, and then stayed.

As a result, the wounded soldiers suddenly changed from more than 200 to more than 1,000.

Within half an hour, Yuan Shu's army had all crossed the Gaojia River and marched towards Maqiu.

When Yuan's army was far away, Xu Huang quietly returned to Gaojiahe with five hundred cavalry, and saw more than a thousand wounded soldiers raising bonfires on the riverbank.

Xu Huang quietly returned to the ruins, and then carefully led the soldiers to the place where the wounded soldiers were stationed, and took advantage of the night to suddenly attack and kill all the more than 1,000 wounded soldiers.

After that, Xu Huang asked people to take off all the clothes on these wounded soldiers, and collected the clothes of the soldiers who were originally killed by them, covered them with the soldiers, and then swaggered to rest here, no longer worrying that they would be discovered by the soldiers of the Yuan army.

However, the five hundred cavalry still returned to hide in the distance, after all, the soldiers of the Yuan army were all infantry, and the appearance of the cavalry was too provocative.

……

Xiquyang City, county government.

In Zhang Yan's room, the lights were bright, and although it was late at night, he had not rested, but had been waiting for news from scouts from all sides.

At the same time, he was also paying close attention to Xu Huang's situation, and he was particularly concerned about Xu Huang's ambush location.

A short time later, a scout came to Zhang Yan's door. The door was not closed. The scout stood in the doorway. Seeing Zhang Yan sitting in front of several cases and reading a book in his hand, he immediately said: "Lord Qiqi, Lei Xu and Li Feng have marched in the starry night, they have crossed the Gaojia River and are coming towards Xiquyang. ”

Zhang Yan put down the Art of War in his hand, raised his head, and said to the scout: "Oh? Xu Huang: How is the situation there? Exhaustively. ”

The scout then reported Xu Huang's situation to Zhang Yan, who listened. Haha smiled: "This Xu Huang, I didn't expect that Yuan Shu's army would cross the Gaojia River by mistake...... Go and give orders to the ministries and get them ready for battle, and there may be a big battle tonight! ”

"Whoa!"

After the scout left, Zhang Yan couldn't sit still anymore, he immediately went to the hall, and asked Jia Xu, Liu Ye, and Lu Su to come over and discuss, and the three unanimously suggested that Zhang Yan should use the county order of the county's surrender to earn Lei Xu and Li Feng to enter the city to rest, and then kill them. If the Yuan army has no generals to command the army, it will be leaderless. It's easier to deal with.

Zhang Yan felt that this plan was good, so he asked Zhao Fang, the county commander, to come over.

Zhao Fang is the county magistrate of this county, he was already asleep, and when he was suddenly summoned, he was nervous, so he got dressed and came to the hall.

"Xiaguan Zhao Fang, meet the general!" As soon as Zhao Fang entered the hall, he knelt down and bowed.

"Zhao County Order, get up and speak!"

"General Xie!" Zhao Fang slowly stood up from the ground, and then asked, "I don't know if the general summoned the subordinate here, is there any order?" ”

"Well, Zhao Xianling is smart, I do have something for you to do, but I don't know if you want to?" Zhang Yan asked.

Zhao Fang kept a heart and asked, "I don't know what the general wants to do?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "The scouts have reported that Lei Xu and Li Feng have crossed the Gaojia River with the army, and are rushing here in a hurry, and it is estimated that in less than half an hour, the army will arrive in Xiquyang City." I will let you go out of the city to meet Lei Xu and Li Feng, and trick them into the city, and after the matter is completed, the government will add you to the rank and knighthood, and will reward you heavily. ”

After Zhao Fang heard this, his face showed some embarrassment, and he said hesitantly: "General, it's not that the subordinate refuses to go, but Lei Xu is suspicious by nature, and I'm not very good at lying, if it's exposed, wouldn't it be a good thing to ruin the general?" It's better for the general to send someone else! ”

"Zhao County Order!" Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly became fierce, he looked directly at Zhao Fang, and his voice became powerful, "You are the county commander of this county, presumably Lei Xu and Li Feng should also know you, if you don't go, who else can be competent here?" You don't have a flamboyant tongue with this mansion here, you must know that the lives of your whole family are in the hands of this mansion, if you don't go, I will kill your whole family! ”

Zhao Fang frowned, and after hearing Zhang Yan's words, he hurriedly knelt on the ground in fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Please calm the general's anger, the lower officials really won't lie, in case ......"

"No in case! I just want to succeed, not fail! Your family's life depends on your performance tonight! Zhang Yan said sharply.

Zhao Fang saw that there was no way back, so he had to bite the bullet and reluctantly agreed.

"Lord Qiqi, Lei Xu's former army is already less than five miles away from the county seat, and in a quarter of an hour, it will arrive at the county seat!" A scout hurriedly walked in from outside and reported the latest intelligence to Zhang Yan.

Zhang Yan waved his hand, motioned for the scout to leave, and then said to Zhao Fang: "Zhao County Order, you have heard it, Lei Xu is coming soon, hello haode go and prepare, it will be up to you tonight." Remember, just bring Lei Xu and Li Feng into the city, if the two can't come in at the same time, either of them can! ”

Zhao Fang nodded helplessly, and slowly exited the hall, still thinking about how to trick Lei Xu into the city!

"Strategist, let Zhao Fang go, can you really trick Lei Xu into the city?" Zhang Yan also asked with some concern.

Jia Xu said: "Zhao Fang is honest on the surface, but in fact he is cunning, the lord threatens the lives of his whole family, he will definitely do his best to complete this task, otherwise, his beloved wife, his beloved son, and his parents will be buried for him!" Even if Zhao Fang can't complete this task, our army has already set up an ambush here, and Liang Lei Xu and Li Feng can't escape from the palm of the lord's hand! ”

Zhang Yan said: "Okay! Then let's go and prepare for it, for a while to meet the upcoming big battle, as long as we annihilate this invading enemy, our army can drive straight in, and together with several other armies, surround Shouchun, and completely destroy Yuan Shu! (To be continued......)
