Wei Xuan was worried that the commotion on his side would be too great, which would affect his ability to surrender to Yuzhou and beg for help. So he discussed with Zhang Liao and asked Han Meng to lead two hundred cavalry to clear the way in front, and let Liu Ming lead more than 150 light troops.

Xia walked in front, and the remaining cavalry was divided into two parts. One part was guarded by Commander Du Peng around the carriage, and the other part was guarded by Commander Zhang Liao. This team was completely arranged according to the march, so that the distance between the infantry and the cavalry, and between the two teams of cavalry, was

If there are more than two or three pills, a slightly impatient scout will naturally ignore the second wave after seeing the first wave.

Wei Xuan wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect that he had already been noticed. When the army slowly entered Sheyuan Pass, Wei Xuan announced as usual that they would rest here for three days.

In the past three days, most of the soldiers were required to climb the city wall of Shenyuan Pass. There were even a few young knights who felt they were good at climbing the mountains on both sides of Shenyuan Pass. Wei Xuan was rare and did not let his men stop him.

】

But when the team left Shenyuan Pass, the vanguard had just left Shenyuan within ten miles, and Wei Xuan was still in the pass. Wang Qiang's scouts sent back intelligence from the front, saying that there were bandits ambushing them on the way forward, and they were outnumbered.

thousand.

Hearing this, everyone was very surprised. Although Shenyuan Pass is where banana farmers want to go, it is very close to the Yingchuan Administrative Office after all. Beyond Sheyuan Pass, it is the boundary of Yingchuan. The prefect of Yingchuan is Wei Xuan's uncle, not to mention

There are thousands of bandits, maybe a small group of hundreds or dozens of bandits. Pei Ye has already sent someone to inform Wei Xuan. It is only more than a hundred miles from Yangdi to Fuyuan. How could so many mountain bandits gather at once?

thief?

No one thought that these bandits gathered together just for fun. Obviously, their target was probably Wei Xuan's team.

If there were really so many bandits operating near Shenyuan Pass and waiting for Wei Xuan to arrive, then Pei Ye would probably have sent the county soldiers here long ago. Even Henan Yin and the North County captains would not be able to sit still. After all,

You can join the capital by coming to Shenyuan Pass. Moreover, the bandits were only twenty miles away from Shenyuan Pass and set up an ambush. Apparently they had been waiting for a long time and were unwilling to get close to Yangzhai.

?Where did these bandits come from? Their purpose was obviously to target his own profession. In this case, Wei Xuan did not want to escape. He came to Yuzhou to train troops, and suppressing the bandits was naturally his ultimate goal.

Wei Xuan then ordered the military lord Zhang Liao to take over the entire army and be responsible for destroying the bandits blocking the road ahead. He left Du Peng and a hundred cavalrymen and his two sisters to slowly leave Shenyuan Pass.

Although Zhang Liao had experienced hundreds of battles before, this was his first battle as a military leader, and most of his men were followers of the Wei family, and a few were local light knights in Henan. Zhang Liao knew that this was Wei Xuan's intention.

Let him show off his skills in front of everyone in the Wei family, so naturally he wouldn't dare to be careless.

After receiving Wei Xuan's order, he asked the scouts who came back to report in detail, and then ordered Han Meng and Liu Ming to change their marching order, intending to use Liu Ming's more than 150 light knights to lure the enemy, and Han Meng's cavalry

Then he joined the cavalry led by himself and used it as a charge.

Hearing that there were only a thousand bandits in front of them, Liu Ming and his young men had the same idea, thinking that they could solve the problem by themselves. Han Meng even relied on 300 cavalry to plow down the phalanx of 4 to 5 thousand bandits in Xingyang that day.

The same ground was plowed several times, so he volunteered to lead the cavalry and charge directly.

Zhang Liao looked at these arrogant and powerful generals, had no choice but to put on a serious face, put on the airs of a military prince and said: "Liu Ming is responsible for luring the enemy, and he must print out all the bandits from the hills on both sides of the ambush. Then retreat to the open space.

Form a formation to facilitate the cavalry charge."

Then he glanced at Han Meng and said: "Mr. Han, the terrain ahead is unclear, and the enemy came unexpectedly. Although the captain did not give an explicit order, we cannot allow too many thieves to escape. Therefore, the person responsible for luring the enemy must convince the thieves

, after leading the thieves to the predetermined location, the cavalry should cut into the enemy formation on the bow, and then send people to block the way for the thieves to escape. Only after the thieves are in chaos can the infantry turn around and kill the thieves. Mr. Han will be responsible for dispersing the thieves after the thieves on the bow.

Use the cavalry to lay a net to prevent the thieves from escaping."

Liu Ming was a little anxious when he heard Zhang Liao's arrangement. There were more than 680 people in this team. In addition to the 100 most elite cavalry left by Wei Xuan, there were more than 400 people with horses, and there were only a thousand thieves.

Yu, when these animals rush into the enemy's formation, where will the infantry under his leadership stand a chance? However, this is Zhang Liao's first time in power, and even the chosen uncle honestly accepted the order to cast the net. Although Liu Ming is a guard

I dare not make any mistakes even if I declare my closeness.

Zhang Liao made arrangements intensively, and the bandits were also prepared. It had been three days since they arrived outside Shenyuan Pass. Apparently, they estimated based on intelligence that there was a problem with the marching speed of Wei Xuan and his party. No one expected that Wei Xuan liked to go to Shenyuan Pass.

Stay for several days.

However, Wei Xuan's vanguard finally left Shenyuan Pass. As long as they ambush the first wave, Wei Xuan's cavalry will definitely flee in all directions, and the few infantry will definitely not be able to stop more than a thousand of his own troops.

.

What the bandits didn't expect was that Wei Xuan and others seemed to be aware of it, and quickly changed the marching ranks. However, what the bandits were able to confirm were 150 infantry and 200 cavalry, which were the same as what they got from Luoyang.

The news is pretty much the same.

It seems that Wei Xuan sent out scouts and felt something was wrong, so he sent the cavalry back to protect himself and his two sisters.

So when Liu Ming appeared in the sight of the bandits with more than 150 infantrymen, all the bandits sneered in their hearts, saying that Wei Xuan knew his soldiers were good at fighting, but now it seems that the infantry are just a bunch of rabble.

What Liu Ming led was indeed a ragtag group of people. Most of them were Henan light knights, with all kinds of strange costumes and various weapons. The key was that they had not had time to conduct formation training, but simply received some flag training and military law education. So.

There were more than 150 people walking on the main road, staggering here and there.

Now Zhang Liao asked them to lure the enemy again, and each of them naturally behaved more loosely. At first glance, they looked like a mob. However, the traitors had been waiting here for three days and were already impatient. Their purpose was not to annihilate all the Wei Xuan troops.

, but to break up Wei Xuan's team, it would be best to snatch away Wei Xuan's two sisters.

So when Liu Ming and others entered their ambush circle, the bandits hiding on the hills on both sides rushed down from the mountains at almost the same time. Although the bandits were also a mob, more than a thousand people rushed from the hillsides on both sides screaming.

When I got down, the momentum was quite scary.

Liu Ming led only some light knights who were usually brave and fierce in front of the people. Not to mention that they were here to lure the enemy. Even if they had no idea beforehand, their first reaction when seeing so many thieves was to run away. There were a few.

The timid one even broke away from the team and ran in both directions. After running for a while, he remembered that there seemed to be many cavalry on his side and quietly returned to the team.

More light heroes didn't wait for Liu Ming's orders. Many of them turned around and ran away. Some even dropped their weapons and screamed. Others immediately understood and knew their mission, so they also shouted and ran back.

.Because these people's costumes are in poor condition, and some of the light knights appear in their true colors, the horror and knowledge are palpable.

To the bandits, they seemed to be just a group of rabble who were inferior to themselves. Seeing the overwhelming number of people on their side, they panicked and chose their own way. Flags and weapons were scattered all over the place. How could they not take advantage of a few good opportunities to capture more officers and soldiers?

More than a hundred people were running wildly in front of them, and more than a thousand people were chasing after them. Although the two sides did not directly confront each other, the atmosphere was quite tense. Fortunately, these people from Xiamen were in good physical condition, and they did not let the unauthorized frontman down in a short period of time.

After chasing him for about three or four miles, Liu Ming saw Han Meng, Zhang Liao and others who had arrived late. The two men had the same expression as the skilled cavalry, that is, they were smiling and slow.

The ground began to accelerate.

Seeing the cavalry that was about to run, Liu Ming and others also split into two and immediately moved to both sides of the road, leaving the middle road to the cavalry.

The pursuit target suddenly dispersed, and the bandits obviously saw the cavalry. This was what they expected, and they had already planned to defeat the champion's cavalry with a group of mounts. In this way, they might be able to rob many war horses.

But what they didn't expect was that the number of cavalry was as many as four hundred, and the bravery of the two leaders was completely beyond the imagination of these bandits.

Han* was seen taking the lead on the left side, with a long spear flying up and down, shuttling back and forth among the bandits. The yellow gelding under his crotch and Zhang Liao's mount were both the bloody horses awarded to Wei Xuan by the emperor. So at this time Han*

He was even more brave than when he was under Xingyang City that day. Zhang Liao on the right did not hold back at all. He knew that Wei Xuan's men were all brave men. If he wanted to win their respect, he had to prove himself with his achievements. He chopped left and right with a steel knife, so

The thieves fell down wherever they went. The cavalry behind them, led by these two men, also fought bravely to take the lead.

By the time Liu Ming and others reacted, Han Meng and Zhang Liao had already appeared behind the bandits. The bandits had no formation when they were chasing Liu Ming and others, but now they were attacked by cavalry from both sides at the same time, and there was no decent resistance at all.

It was punched through from both sides at the same time.

Han Meng originally wanted to lead his men to kill them again. He felt that these thieves were not even as good as those outside Xingyang City, and their number was only a thousand. He felt that he could easily defeat them with two hundred men. However,

Zhang Liao stopped him and asked him to carry out the pre-war deployment to disperse the troops and block the escape routes of the rebels. Zhang Liao and his men spread out in the same formation as the rebels and pressed forward, preparing to harvest the remaining rebels.

Seeing the deployment of Zhang Liao and others, Liu Ming, who was hiding aside to watch the excitement, woke up and shouted to his men: "You heroes in Henan, your hard bones have been chewed off by their cavalry. If you don't want to see others drinking and eating meat,

Use your special skills to kill me!"
