At the first rays of dawn on the edge of the sky, the east gate of Zazuo City, the easternmost part of Zhangye County, slowly drove out tens of thousands of Hutu light horsemen and a large number of ordnance baggage.

Hutu Wang Dian Dang, who was riding in the crown car, was accompanied by two Hutu Meiji, and as the wide king drove slowly, he hugged left and right, chewing the grapes that Meiji peeled off the skin in his mouth, and let out a loud voice unscrupulously.

It's really pleasant!

This scene made many marching soldiers envious, and secretly sighed: "The man should be like this in the world!" ”

Zazuo City is more than 60 miles away from the Huangshaling camp of the former army, and at the current marching speed of King Xiu Tu, he can rest at noon on the Huangsha Mandao 30 miles away, and he can reach his destination in the afternoon.

Huangsha Mandao, as the name suggests, refers to the passage of a narrow mountain road surrounded by loess slopes and in the middle. This is a typical loess high-slope terrain.

Nowadays, the loess slope is not without trees, only wild grasses and thorns, but full of pines and cypresses, lush and green.

In early autumn, the leaves of poplar, acacia, birch, willow, oak and other trees fall one after another, but the pine and cypress are evergreen all year round, and the texture is hard, which is really a high-quality wood.

Ten miles of yellow sand road, gravel is all over, rocks are lined up, and the eyes are full of loess.

The north is dry, and after autumn, the north wind is raging, the dust is flying, and the yellow sand is all over the sky.

On the hillside to the south of the mountain road, Li Li was covered in armor, wearing a dark red robe on his shoulders, and holding a long-handled broadsword, condescendingly, his eyes murderous looking at the movement of the road to the west.

Beside him, the Golden Lion Beast King stood majestically, roaring in a low voice from time to time, causing many animals on the hillside to flee in panic and birds to scream.

Behind Li Li, Dian Wei and Li Zhier will stand left and right. The body is as tall as a tower, and the weapon is clenched in the hand. The evil spirit lingers all over the body, and the momentum is as strong as a tiger. Mighty.

On the edge of the top of the mountain, more than 3,000 Jin Qiwei gathered their horses in the col behind them, hiking up the mountain and lurking, piled up boulders and rolling logs in front of them, carrying bows and arrows, and waiting for them.

On the opposite mountain, Li Li's army was also ambushed.

The Wuwei Battalion and the Tiger Roar Battalion, with a total of 6,000 soldiers, were distributed along the top of the mountain, lurking in the barren grass. Big rocks and rolling logs are piled up like a mountain, looking down at the movement under the mountain, murderous, wanting to choose people to eat.

At the western entrance of the mountain road, Teng Yu and Li Zheng each led 2,500 iron horsemen of the Longxiang battalion, hiding in the mountain cols on both sides of the mountain road, sending hundreds of scouts to monitor the situation on the west road, and report the slightest change at any time.

On the top of the hill to the south. Dian Wei looked at the birds hovering overhead, frowned slightly, and whispered to Li Li: "Lord, there are birds screaming above our heads all the time. It is easy to be spotted by the Hugh Slaughter scouts. The subordinates want to shoot all these birds, so that it may be better. ”

Li Li grinned lightly when he heard this, and said, "It's too much to worry about evil. I had expected that. Teng Yu has been instructed to intercept and slaughter the scouts, so we will not be discovered.

Other words. It's early in the morning, and it's time for the birds to feed. It's also normal to have a few birds flying by in the sky. Don't make a fuss, let it be! As long as the Hugh army arrives here before dark, the birds will not be bothered. If you wait until evening, you have to shoot them, lest the army of Hutu become suspicious. ”

After hearing this, Dian Wei thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What the lord said is extremely true. The subordinates just remembered the battle of Maple Canyon, Ma Chao took 20,000 Pegasus to set up an ambush, regardless of the tail, and was seen through by the lord at a glance, but the ambush failed, but suffered heavy losses. Therefore, the subordinates have this thought, but they ignore the difference in time between the two. ”

Li Li smiled and said, "Evil, this is good." Those who lead the army in battle must be bold and careful, and always maintain a high degree of vigilance. When it's time to give it a go, don't hesitate; When you encounter something suspicious, you need to be cautious. For several months, you have been very experienced in leading troops to fight, and when the time is ripe for our army to grow further in the future, I will let you lead the army alone and take charge alone. Hehehe! ”

"This ?????? The subordinates are willing to stay with the lord for the rest of their lives, please ask the lord to agree! Dian Wei said urgently.

Li Li laughed and said: "Evil comes, the eldest husband should make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, seal his wife and son, and achieve a lot of fame." If you stay by my side all the time, your future position will be limited, otherwise the people will not be convinced, and they will gossip behind their backs. This is the disadvantage of always following me, as a close minister, it is easy to be criticized.

Besides, as long as you have the ability to lead the army into battle, if I don't give you a chance, won't I be a master in vain and delay your future? So, I have my own plans for this matter, so you don't have to think about it. Besides, this matter is still early, it is likely to wait two or three years, you don't have to worry, and you can't blame me. Hehehe! ”

"The subordinates obey the Lord's orders, and they have no heart to complain!" Dian Wei replied respectfully.

"Hmm." Li Li bowed slightly, and then said to Li Zhi: "After the ambush battle starts, you keep an eye on Hugh Tu Wang Dian Dang, and when our army rushes down, you must capture Dian Dang alive."

A living Hugh Tu King, the use value is greater.

Otherwise, as soon as Dian Dang dies, the Xiutu tribe will inevitably be disheartened and scattered. At that time, our army will still need to be exterminated one by one, which will be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and cost-effective. Li Zhi, can you be sure that you will capture Yunnan Dang? ”

Li Zhi didn't frown when he heard this, and said in response: "Nuo, my subordinates will never live up to the trust of the lord, and they will definitely capture the slaughter king Dian Dang!" ”

"Oh!" Li Li thought that Li Zhi would say a few more words, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward and clear, and cherish words like gold.

"Li Zhi, if the situation is urgent and too dangerous, you must not take risks. Compared to Hutu Wang Dian Dang, your Li Zhi's life is much more important than him! Remember, if you don't have the right opportunity, you don't want to take risks, you can't catch him this time, we have a next time, and there will be many opportunities in the future! ”

After Li Zhi heard this, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, but his expression did not change in the slightest, and he nodded in response: "Nuo, my subordinates receive orders!" ”

Hearing Li Zhi still respond so bluntly, Li Li smiled bitterly and shook his head, but his love for Li Zhi did not diminish at all, and he even trusted him more and more.

Just now, Li Li said to Dian Wei that he intended to let him lead the army alone, but in fact, he took a fancy to Li Zhi's character and temperament of cherishing words like gold. Dian Wei is rigorous in governing the army, calm in battle, has good training and command ability, has the qualifications of a general, and can lead a battalion alone.

In contrast, Li Zhi was not suitable to lead troops into battle alone. He is withdrawn, taciturn, and has a straight face all day long, making it difficult for others to approach him. But he is strong in martial arts, has a supreme skill that is not inferior to Huan Fei, and his senses are extremely keen. To put it bluntly, his sense of hearing and smell is sharper than that of most animals, and his sense of danger is superb.

Based on these characteristics, Li Li believes that Li Zhi is more suitable than Dian Wei to serve as his personal bodyguard and take over the Jin Yiwei in an all-round way.

Because Jin Yiwei is Li Li's personal guard, he takes over the county guards every day, follows Li Li during the war, and follows Li Li in battle.

After this battle, if Li Zhi can capture Xiu Tu Wang Dian Dang alive, then he has accumulated enough military exploits.

Once the time is ripe, Li Li will let Dian Wei lead a battalion of soldiers and horses, and let Li Zhi take over the helm of Jin Yiwei.

It's not that Li Li doesn't trust Dian Wei, but that people make the best use of their talents, so they apply.

Dian Wei is not only a competent chief of guard, but also a general who can fight well. Perhaps, he does not have the ability to strategize as a commander, but he is absolutely capable of charging into battle, attacking the city, and defending the city, and he can do it very well.

In this way, by freeing Dian Wei from the position of a guard, Li Li will be able to add another vanguard like Huan Fei.

Li Zhi is different from Dian Wei, he has very little literacy, has never handled military affairs, and is not good at communicating with people, so it is really difficult for him to lead the army alone. But he obeyed Li Li's orders, was loyal, and was definitely a natural captain of the guard.

As for the military affairs in the Jin Yiwei camp, it is enough to arrange a deputy general who can handle military affairs, and he does not need Li Zhi to do it himself, he only needs to train a group of middle and low-level generals who are absolutely loyal and reliable, and have high martial arts, and he can control the whole battalion.

??????????????????

After noon, the figure of the Xiu Tu army appeared at the entrance of Huangsha Mandao.

These Hugh slaughterers, I don't know whether they are arrogant or think that they are safe along the road, and the hundreds of scouts sent out have not survived, but they don't know it, and they still march into the yellow sand road without any defense.

A moment later, the army of more than 35,000 Xiu Tu all entered the mountain road.

When the crown car of King Dian Dang appeared in the middle of the mountain road, Li Li suddenly got up and pushed a boulder weighing hundreds of catties down the hillside, and the soldiers behind him instantly beat the war drums.

"Knock knock!"

In the sound of rapid war drums, thousands of boulders instantly rolled down from the mountaintops on both sides of the yellow sand road, and then the rolling logs all over the mountains fell.

Suddenly, on the slopes on both sides of the ten-mile yellow sand road, the boulders flew down like rain, and the rolling logs fell sharply like a flood, smashing into the Hugh Tu army at the bottom of the mountain.

In an instant, on the narrow mountain road, the screams were like thunder, and the neighing of horses shook the sky.

Tens of thousands of Hugh Tu's army panicked, their horses trampled wildly, their baggage scattered, and they all dodged the boulders and rolling logs that fell sharply.

People were crowded, war horses collided with each other, and the originally very narrow mountain road became more and more crowded, and hundreds of Hutu soldiers were trampled into meat in an instant.

Under the bombardment of boulders and rolling logs, with the carriage of King Dian Dang of Hutu as the center, countless boulders, rolling logs and flesh and blood were piled up together to form a stone dam that blocked the mountain road, blocking the mountain road and dividing it into two sections. Those in front can only advance, not retreat; The second half of the Hugh slaughter people can only retreat, not advance. The army of more than 30,000 Xiu Tu was divided into two, with about 10,000 people in the first half and about 20,000 people in the second half.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Whoosh!"

Boulders flew down, rolling logs were rampant, and they rushed to the mountain road.

The arrows are like locusts, and the rain of arrows rains down sharply, and you don't need to be on the head, as long as you land vigorously on the mountain road, you can shoot an enemy. (To be continued)(To be continued......
