PS: The heavy rain of the pit daddy, the power company of the pit daddy, finally called, everyone has been waiting for a long time, I'm sorry!!!!

In the next few days, the Xihe army was still entrenched on the stone mountain, taking advantage of the iron cavalry and armor, looking at the road under the stone mountain and the large flat plain suitable for horse warfare under the mountain. The mountain barbarians took the canyon area as the rear, and other tribes kept coming, and the two sides confronted each other, and no one acted rashly.

This day was the fourth day that Zhang Yuan came to Stone Mountain, the first batch of grain transport teams arrived, after Zhang Yuan cleared the forest, although he had enough grain and grass, but learned that the first batch of grain and grass had set off, Hu Chu also began to pay attention to the safety of the rear, and for a few days he was to send soldiers to clean up the enemy mixed in along the way.

When the first batch of grain and grass arrived, the mountain barbarians were ready to move, and could no longer hold on, launched an offensive against the Xihe army, and divided a part of the tribe to seize the grain and grass, how could the Xihe army do what they wanted, no longer defend the stone mountain, poured out, under the leadership of Zhang Yuan and Hu Chu, with heavy cavalry as the sword, respectively, defeated the two mountain barbarians, resulting in heavy casualties on the other side.

This battle also made Zhang Yuan know a little more about the mountain barbarians on the other side, the tenacity of the other party and the courage to not give up until the goal was reached, beyond his imagination, two heavy cavalry, divided into two teams to use. In the end, after the battle, from noon to dusk, nearly 2,000 heavy cavalry fought to lose their strength, and the war horses were tired and disabled nearly 100 horses, but fortunately, the heavy team that transported the grain brought war horses, otherwise the battle would have wasted one-nineteenth of the heavy cavalry.

And the corpses left by Shanman are not as many as imagined, only worthy of more than 5,000 corpses.

Seems like a lot of numbers. However, with an army of nearly 30,000 and heavy cavalry as the blade, the battle lasted for more than four hours. It can be seen that in fact, such a number is not much at all, or even very small.

"The generals of the other side are not so easy to deal with, and if they want to defeat them in a battle, they are really delusional, if they don't pay attention, they will be a little greedy. Maybe they will capsize in the gutter! When he got the report, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, this battle is not easy. However, the opponent was able to preserve his strength in such a disadvantageous situation and did not cause a devastating blow, which shows how difficult the opponent is to deal with.

Hu Chu nodded sympathetically. In this battle, he was responsible for receiving the baggage team. The madness of the mountain barbarians and the spirit of reluctance are very impressive, of course, this point has been experienced these days, and the real deepest experience is the other party's flexible to weird figure, and it is precisely because they are like loaches, slippery and hands-free, and repeatedly jump off during the wild attack, and frequently avoid the key points in the desperate death. It gives the feeling that they are hunting.

Yes, hunting. The prey is the Xihe Army, and they have a clear division of labor, some people do not care about their own to attract the enemy, and some people roar around the monster, driving them to hunt down the prey.

This kind of behavior engraved in the bones, as if it has been systematically trained, may not be suitable, not as good as the Xihe Army, but it is also very difficult.

Not to mention anything else, there may not be many kills, but their own casualties are definitely not very large.

"However, this time, it seems that the other party is so tight, in order to seize the grain and grass, they even divided their troops in a desperate situation, I am afraid that they will not have much food and grass!"

"What the lord said is true! The entire land adjacent to the sea is short of grain and grass, even the storm plain with abundant water and grass is also short of food and grass because of the overpopulation, let alone in this deep mountain and old forest? The more tribes they gathered, the more scarce the grain and grass became, and the hunting places in the canyon area were scarce, so they could only be transported from the rear. ”

Hu Chu once entered the canyon area, I have to say that the canyon area is not ordinarily big, they got lost within half a day after they entered, so they could only retreat back, and when they wanted to explore again, Shanman had already come.

Otherwise, it would be best to defend the canyon area.

Because of the failure of grabbing grain, the mountain barbarians no longer forbear, their traces began to appear under the stone mountain, in order to prevent a large number of mountain barbarians from stealing through the passage, Hu Chu had to start to dispatch troops, the two sides continued to test each other, the original peace was broken in an instant, with the daily escalation of the battle situation, the mountain barbarians finally couldn't bear it, and attacked the stone mountain at night.

In the end, Shanman once again returned in vain, but Zhang Yuan found that the other party was not discouraged in the slightest, and still did not stop attacking the Xihe army.

Moreover, according to the report of the horse exploration, Zhang Yuan and Hu Chu found that a large number of mountain barbarians had entered the forest.

At this time, Zhang Yuan and the others still didn't know what the other party was doing. Ming Xiu plank road secretly crosses Chen Cang, or rather, it is not bad if you can kill two birds with one stone.

Hu Chu said: "Lord, will the last general take people to clean up the mountains in the forest, right?" At the same time, you can also take this opportunity to send the baggage team away! ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head and said: "You are the commander of the first army, how can you move, I am here just to understand the mountain barbarians firsthand, how can I take away your handsome power?" ”

That being said, the reason is also the reason, but Hu Chu doesn't dare to look at it like this, since Zhang Yuan is here, then everything is based on Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan can let it, but he can't take it.

Seeing that Hu Chu was about to speak, Zhang Yuan continued: "Okay, there is no need to say more about this, let me clean up these mountain barbarians!" On the one hand, you have to pay attention to safety, but on the other hand, you must also pay attention to the movements of the other party, and the other party is likely to play the trick of avoiding the real and imaginary, encircling the point to send reinforcements, and leading you to send troops. ”

"Lord...... Lord!" At this time, Hu Chu really couldn't bear it anymore.

"That's it!" Zhang Yuan stretched out his hand to stop the other party and said, "I know that you are worried about my comfort, wait for me to finish speaking." Since we know that the other party may play such a trick, it is naturally impossible to let the other party play so easily, I will be careful when the time comes, you don't have to worry. And you, you need to consider and decide, what is the best, this is an opportunity to test you, I am optimistic about you! ”

Speaking, Zhang Yuan smiled and patted Hu Chu's shoulder, the power of the West River is now getting bigger and bigger, and there are many benefits to being huge, but there are also many disadvantages, more and more old courtiers are gradually unable to keep up with the pace, Zhang Yuan doesn't want to see them eliminated one by one, if they can, Zhang Yuan hopes that they can stand at the top with him, see the unpredictable situation in the world, and enjoy the glory and wealth of the world.

"Whoa!" Hu Chu was shocked and moved, his voice couldn't help but be a little stalky, he was not an idiot, how could he not hear the meaning of Zhang Yuan's words, Zhang Yuan was using his own safety to cultivate him, once he could make the most appropriate decision under such pressure, without being affected by Zhang Yuan's safety, then it also means that he will become a generation of famous generals.
