Not from time to time.

The thick fog that enveloped the earth has long since dissipated, and the strong sunlight is falling, which really feels a bit of spring warmth.

A group of soldiers hurriedly ran out from the pass, shouting noisily, and passed by Lu Yao's side in a chaotic manner. And Lu Yao looked back, his face pale.

Two hours ago, they rushed along the dragon boat water to Tuanbai Valley, but this journey was really not smooth. The ferries requisitioned by the Jin army were all old and useless goods, and two boats fell apart on the way, and three boats leaked. This not only caused the arrival time to arrive at Tuanbai Valley more than half an hour later than expected, but the number of people was only about 400 people for the time being. Many of them struggled with the wrecked boats, exhausted and collapsed on the shore.

Lu Yao originally planned to use the dangerous terrain of Tuanbai Valley to ambush the Huns, which was indeed a very good idea, but the state of the soldiers was so low, where could they still fight. Seeing that the Hu army was approaching, the military situation was as urgent as fire. He had to lead his own soldiers to the Tuanbai Valley Pass first, leaving the others in the rear for a short rest.

The name of the guard of Tuanbai Valley is Wang Yan. This person was originally the leader of the Wang clan in Qi County, and after leading the Wang family's private soldiers to join the army, he was appointed as the county's soldier Cao Shi, and led a number of soldiers to maintain law and order in Qi County. The Xiongnu entered the Kou this time, and he led more than 200 township soldiers to guard the Baigu Pass. Those township soldiers lacked training, and their combat effectiveness was very suspicious, so a few days ago, Lu Yao assigned the team leader Fei Cen to lead fifty soldiers to assist.

Tuanbai Valley originally had a rammed earth pass, but in the past few years, it has long been abandoned, leaving only a platform more than a foot high in the original place. When Lu Yao led the army south a few days ago, he had already ordered Wang Yan to urge the township soldiers to rebuild the pass as soon as possible. However, due to the tight schedule, there was only time to erect three wooden fences on the slope in front of the pass, and the trench that should be dug in front of the wooden fence had not yet begun. Just over half of the restoration work of the main body of the pass, a large amount of timber was piled up horizontally and vertically at the mouth of the valley.

"Why is it moving so slowly?" Lu Yao suppressed his anger and asked.

"General Lu, the brothers have been working day and night, but there are only so many people in total, and the amount of work in the pass is huge. Moreover, the enemy came too quickly. Wang Yan replied with a helpless look on his face.

Lu Yao glared at him, and turned to ask Xue Tong, "When will the brothers in the rear team arrive?" You send someone to urge Shen Jin, if something happens, I'll cut off his head first! "At this time, it is probably always the general who is most anxious, although Lu Yao tries his best to be calm, but after all, sometimes he can't hold back.

"Half an hour. By the wayside, in half an hour at most, the brethren would be able to arrive with their whole army and be ready to fight immediately. Xue Tong confidently guaranteed the ticket.

And Lu Yao could only bow his head and sigh, will Hu Ren give us half an hour?

He stomped his foot heavily: "If you really can't catch up...... Alas, I can only barely resist for a while. ”

Since the situation is like this, there is no need to complain, the left and right are just fighting for their lives. Lu Yao immediately summoned the officers and key non-commissioned officers above the rank of even chief present to prepare for the assignment.

He casually broke off a dry branch and drew the topography of Tuanbai Valley on the ground. When he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Wang Yan leading a number of people to rush by, in groups of two, all carrying a large black vat.

This man has 200 soldiers under his command, although they are all miscellaneous soldiers who lack combat effectiveness, but the current situation is still lacking. Lu Yao was about to use him, so he also called his subordinates and the elders to come and discuss together. Unexpectedly, this person had no military discipline at all, and even ignored the general's orders, but was busy moving those useless things!

"Wang Bingcao!" Lu Yao was furious, frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”

Wang Yan shuddered, and hurriedly said with a smile: "General Lu, this is the sesame oil that the head of the family likes to eat, and it is rumored to be used to fry things, and it is fragrant. This thing is pressed out of white flax, and there is only one jar of thirty pours of flax, which is very precious. These cylinders are all newly produced this year, and they are temporarily stored here due to the lack of roads. General Lu is strange, since there will be a war in Tuanbai Valley, I will lead people to transport these vat of sesame oil to other places for resettlement......"

At the moment of the great enemy, why are you still thinking about sesame oil! Lu Yao couldn't help but fall.

Not for three moments.

Xue Tong and dozens of his subordinates were still busy in front of the pass, while the soldiers of Wang Yan's department and the hundreds of people from Lu Yao's department who had arrived in Tuanbai Valley in advance were mixed together, and they had already completed the formation. Relying on the terrain and wooden fences between the high cliffs on both sides, a total of 500 foot soldiers were divided into three teams. The first two and the last one, the finished glyph arrangement. Each team formed a dense phalanx with bows, spears, and short weapons, and was commanded by Lu Yao, Xu Mu, Yang Ruo, and Fei Cen. Lu Yao himself led his headquarters cavalry to respond.

When the formation was settled, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and several Wuhuan scout cavalry suddenly appeared from the end of the road. After discovering the Jin array, they slowed down and moved horizontally about one hundred and fifty paces away from the formation to watch the Jin army's virtual reality. At the same time, they made strange noises and made various slashing movements on horseback to show their bravery.

This made a commotion in the infantry formation facing the Wuhuan people, and after being scolded sharply by the chief in charge, he calmed down again. These riotous soldiers were all private soldiers of the Qi County family, and individually, several of them were quite brave. But in Lu Yao's eyes, they lacked the necessary discipline and combat cooperation, and could only be described as a rabble.

Half an hour later, heavy footsteps sounded in the distance, and it was the arrival of the main force of the Hu people.

Generally speaking, unlike the Jin army, which focused on battle after battle, the infantry of the Hu people was usually crowded in a long and short manner, and both attack and defense appeared to be disorganized. But the Hu people who appeared in front of Lu Yao's eyes at this moment obviously lined up clearly. They marched in groups of three to four hundred men without haste. Except for a group of cavalry on the left and right flanks of the official road, which was arranged to march in a scattered manner, the rest of the teams kept a good distance and moved forward in the order of the official road. The middle of the march was not chaotic at all, and from a distance, it looked like a giant python meandering forward against the undulating mountains, and the soaring murderous aura came to the face.

The Hu people's soldiers and horses stopped advancing when they were about 300 paces away from the Jin army. It then extended to both wings until it was connected to the high ground. The army formation of thousands of people was horizontal, the guns and halberds were like forests, the people were like tigers, and the horses were like dragons, which dwarfed the scarce soldiers and horses of the Jin army.

In the Central Military Department, what replaced the former champion general Qiao Xi's military flag was a simple banner, with no official position on it, only the word "stone" dripping with pen and ink.

The one who quickly took command after Qiao Xi was a man named Shi Le. In just three or five days, he had already integrated the Xiongnu army, which had been torn apart by Qiao Xi's death. And the orderliness of its actions is very different from the chaotic miscellaneous mustaches at the beginning!

"Shi Le is so good at managing the army, he will definitely become our great enemy in the future!" Lu Yao sighed.

In the hundreds of years of conquest between the Hu and Han ethnic groups, the Han people have never been the side that has the upper hand. Even when the Han Dynasty was in turmoil, Emperor Wu of Wei was still able to drive Liaodong for a long time and settle Wuhuan in the first battle of White Wolf Mountain. However, since the end of the chaos of this dynasty, he has been lax in military affairs, and his armaments have been slackened, and whenever there is a border conflict, he has been deceived by foreigners several times. The few remaining elite forces were also lost in the civil strife of the clan kings. Based on what Lu Yao has seen and heard over the years, there are really few high-ranking officers in the imperial army who are really resourceful and arbitrary, and have the talent of generals.

The Hu people, on the other hand, were born to be brave warriors, and used nomadic and hunting customs to sharpen their military skills. Although the Hu were much smaller in number than the Han Chinese, they had far more people than the Han Chinese! For example, it is said that this man was just a lowly shepherd slave at first, but he was able to rise up and lead a group of thieves across the north and south of the river. And his cunning and fierce tactical level display in the past few days also made the generals of the Jin army deeply afraid.

He thought about it and couldn't help but sigh again.

Schler! The fear that this name brought to Lu Yao was actually far beyond the imagination of others. In Lu Yao's previous life, there was no need for much historical knowledge, but most of the people who had read the popular science book "Five Thousand Years Up and Down" remembered this name: the founder of Later Zhao in the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms; After 20 years of fighting in the north and south, he finally crossed Yan Zhao and annexed a generation of heroes of Han Wei; Starting as a slave, he eventually became the Later Zhao Emperor who unified almost all of northern China, Shile.

Shouldn't such a character be the last big boshi to appear? I'm afraid the order of appearance is messed up, right?

Lu Yao shook his head and chased away the strange thoughts that suddenly burst into his mind. He said to a personal soldier beside him: "You go and urge General Xue and tell him to prepare as soon as possible!" ”
