Liuyang is named because it is located in the north of Liushui.

China's mountains and rivers generally run east-west, the mountains and rivers are intertwined, the south of the mountain and the north of the water are yang, and vice versa; For example, Hanyang, Liuyang, Jiangyin, and Xiangyin are all named after the yin and yang of water.

From Changsha to Liuyang, about 100 miles, Qin Mu's 20,000 troops hurried and hurried to Liuyang in a day and a half. Huang Lianshan's scout battalion sent back the information of Zhang Xianzhong's army like a stream.

"Report, my lord, the striker led by Zhang Dingguo has arrived in King Kong Town, and there is still half a day's journey from here."

"Report, my lord, it has been found that Zhang Dingguo's forward army has a total of 5,000 people, all of whom are elites selected by the rebels, of which 2,000 are the men and horses brought by Zhang Xianzhong from Luzhou last year."

"Newspaper"

Qin Mu was still very satisfied with the information sent back by Huang Lianshan's scout battalion, although they couldn't find out whether Zhang Dingguo was wearing underwear or not, it didn't matter anymore.

"You've all heard of the Taji horse race, right?" Qin Mu said unhurriedly, the more tense this moment, as the commander-in-chief, he must be confident in his words and deeds, otherwise the 20,000 recruits under his command will definitely be in a mess.

Besides, it is already noon, Zhang Dingguo said that there is still more than half a day's journey, in fact, even if he rushes after nightfall, it is impossible to be too fast, and he will have to arrive tomorrow morning. The enemy has not yet arrived, how can Qin Mu mess with himself.

Zhuge Min heard the song and knew the meaning of the strings, and replied with a smile: "Zhang Xianzhong sent the elite as the striker, this is the intention of the Shangxi, the meaning of the adult, is to set up multiple lines of defense, and the following Si slowly exhausts the sharp energy of the other party's Shangxi, and Zuihou will break it in one fell swoop."

"Haha, those who know me, Mr. Zhuge also!"

Everyone felt good, but the red lady standing next to her saw Qin Mu and Zhuge Min such stinky farts. I couldn't help but turn my head and pout.

"Liu Meng, let's go to the defense according to this, the five lines of defense, zuihou is this Liuyang River, understand?"

"Do as your lord commands." Liu Meng responded loudly and hurriedly set up defenses, Qin Mu was calm in order to calm the army's heart, he couldn't really shake it one step at a time when he was doing things, otherwise he would be looking for death.

As soon as Liu Meng went to set up defenses, Qin Mu said to the left and right: "The three gentlemen don't have to cross the river. Let's take a break in the city, Red Girl, Red Girl."

"My surname is Blue!"

"Okay, Miss Lan, how about following the official to the front to patrol the mountain, the official will have something to ask for in a while, looking at the 20,000 horses, you have a good voice." After Qin Mu finished speaking, he went first.

The red lady was going to ignore him, but her curiosity was aroused by his words. She couldn't figure out what her voice had to do with his "patrolling the mountains". Well, this guy has always been scheming, and it's really hard to live in peace if you don't understand it. I had to follow him across the pontoon bridge.

In the middle of the second day, it was about nine o'clock. Zhang Dingguo's 5,000 forwards came to the first line of defense of the Qin army, and his 5,000 men and horses were all cavalry, and the rumbling iron hooves hit the ground deafeningly, and the momentum was extremely amazing.

It is twelve miles away from the Liuyang River. The data is very accurate, Qin Mu personally measured it with the horse's hooves when he patrolled the mountain yesterday.

As for Qin Muweishenme's choice to arrange the first line of defense at twelve miles, it is said that there is a string machine in it. This is the position chosen by Lord Qin according to the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation, at least 20,000 recruits believe this, otherwise the first line of defense will definitely not be chosen here, because this place is relatively open, and it is not conducive to defense.

Zhang Dingguo is a person who has been in battle for a long time, and when he looked at the thousands of men and horses on the opposite side, he couldn't help frowning, not that the soldiers of the Qin army were strong, on the contrary, more than a thousand people were tall, short, fat and thin, uneven, and the listed formations were not strict, could it be that Qin Mu wanted to stop himself from going north with these horses? Impossible, then there must be another mystery, which made Zhang Dingguo become cautious.

Well, the weapons in front of the Qin army should not be underestimated, more than 20 hundred tigers rushing arrows lined up on the carriage, like an open devil's mouth, and there are many carriages that do not know what to load, forming a car wall in front of the Qin army's formation, which can effectively resist the frontal impact of the cavalry.

There are also a few tiger squat guns between the car walls, and if all of them are equipped with gravel and iron nails, a frontal impact will also cause great casualties. and the black "Qin" banner waving in the wind, which made Zhang Dingguo always feel a mysterious and cold taste.

"Zhang Xing, Huang Jing, you two each bring five hundred men and horses to outflank from the two wings."

"The last will obey."

Zhang Dingguo gave an order, two cavalry roared out, this is the old soldiers left when Zhang Xianzhong retreated from Luzhou last year, it can be said that all of them are the rest of the battle, extremely strong, but seeing the iron hooves like rain, dusty, that kind of indomitable momentum is daunting, although it is still more than a mile away, there are already some soldiers in the Qin army who are frightened and retreat.

"Those who retreat are killed! The Retreater, Slash! Liu Meng held a mace in his hand, rode his horse and galloped back and forth in front of the formation and yelled, "Meet! A retreating soldier was slapped in the head, his head shattered, his brain splattered, and the astonishing killing power finally settled the eggs of more than a thousand recruits.

The two cavalry of the Great Western Army, Zhang Xing and Huang Jing, flew like dark clouds on the ground, outflanking from both wings, but just approaching a mile, many horses in the front army suddenly lost their front hooves and fell to the ground, making a huge rumbling sound, and the fallen war horses neighed and rolled endlessly;

Zhang Xing and Huang Jing were all in the lead, and they were not spared at this time, even after the man and the horse rolled out for a few zhang, there were many fractures on the body, hurting the lungs and intestines, and the body was covered with blood, and it seemed that he could not survive.

Only then did the cavalry in the rear discover that there were many bowl-sized holes densely distributed on the ground, only half a foot deep, but enough for the horses' hooves to sink into, and these small holes were thickly covered with hay and leaves, and they could not be seen clearly from a distance, which was why they stumbled one after another.

The rebels trapped in countless small potholes could no longer run wildly, and at this time, under the slopes on both sides, the war drums sounded in unison, shaking the heavens and the earth, and two ambushes with more than 1,000 people each lifted off the leaves and turf that were covered on their bodies, shouting and killing, forming a formation of two hundred people, three-eyed guns, thunderbolts, and guns, no matter what guns, anyway, they were shot in a row; The other platoon rushed up and fired a volley, and the sound of gunpowder was incessant, and the smoke was everywhere, and all kinds of guns were shot, and it was the turn of the bow and arrow;

A rain of arrows rose into the air, and the rebels trapped in the pits were shot and arrowed one after another, falling off their horses, and the main general was dead, and after leaving hundreds of corpses on each wing, they were forced to flee one after another, and the Qin army cheered like a tide and their morale was high.

"Shangwu, lead five hundred men and horses to attack from the front, you must break through the enemy's defense line, otherwise you will be killed!"

Zhang Dingguo did not wait for the men and horses on both wings to retreat, and ordered again, and the Chinese army once again rushed out of five hundred iron horses, one by one, on horseback, and rushed towards the Qin army. The sound of hooves is like thunder, the roar is like a tide, and it is unstoppable.

"Ignition!" Liu Meng waved the giant mace and roared.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Five or six tiger squatting cannons roared in unison, and a puff of crushed stone and iron nails erupted with tongues of fire, roaring, and the five hundred men and horses who were still martial fell to the ground one after another, and the sound of collision and screams was chaotic.

The tiger squat cannon roared over, followed by a hundred tigers rushing arrows roaring and firing, this hundred tigers rushing arrows as the name suggests can launch hundreds of rockets at a time, even hundreds, more than 20 hundred tigers rushing arrows fired together but saw the arrows in the air, flying vertically and horizontally, bringing a new round of heavy casualties to the martial cavalry, at least nearly 100 rushing horses rumbled to the ground, screaming like a tide.

The firearms have been fired, it is Zuihou's turn to play with bows and arrows, although the martial men and horses have lost a lot, but they still braved the rain of arrows to rush to the front of the car wall, the two sides fought fiercely across the car wall, Zhang Dingguo saw that the martial men and horses had rushed to the car wall, immediately no longer hesitated, an order, thousands of men and horses all pressed, the sound of hooves shook the ground, determined to break the front of more than 1,000 Qin troops in one fell swoop.

"Withdraw!" Seeing that all the rebels rushed up, Liu Meng immediately ordered a retreat, and more than 1,000 people retreated and fled to the rear.

"Move the wall out of the way, quick!" Shang Wu yelled, and his rebels jumped off their horses, but when they pushed the carts, they found that each cart was chained and pushed away for a while.

As if the time had been calculated, the thousands of men and horses behind Zhang Dingguo had just arrived, and some rebels exclaimed, "Retreat, retreat, there is a fuse in the car that is smoking"

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! The violent explosion blew up the carts one after another, and the rebels who were crowded in front of the car wall were even more unspared, and they were blown up horribly, with deaths and injuries everywhere, and the billowing smoke could not hide the thick blood, and the stumps and broken arms flew in the air incessantly
