(The alliance is tough, thank you!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a small village twenty miles away from Jieqiao Camp, a war abandoned by war. At this time, it was surrounded by nearly a thousand Youzhou troops and Heishan military cavalry infantry. In the center of the encirclement, there are a row of earthen houses built along the mountain and connected together.

Most of the houses in this small village have been damaged, and no one knows who is in the earthen house, but three layers of armored elite soldiers were laid out in the courtyard outside the house, with a number of less than 200 people, including dozens of cavalry. Judging from the number of corpses that fell to the ground, the initial number was probably less than 300.

The three hundred Jizhou cavalry and infantry army wearing strong and holding sharp legs is already quite high-end equipment for the Jizhou army, which has fewer protective gear and few war horses. So, who are the people they want to protect?

The temporary command of Youzhou Army, and the leader of the Heishan Army, Chang Du, also wanted to know. At present, he could only guess that he was a senior general of the Jizhou Army. Who would it be? He was a senior official in Jizhou Zhizhong? General Fenwei Chunyu Qiong? Or General Fenwu Ju Su? Or some other important person. But no matter who it is, Chang Du was determined to take a look with his own eyes - let his subordinates tie him to the front of him, and the answer would naturally be revealed.

Under the strict military order of Chief Du, nearly a thousand Youzhou, the Heishan army took turns to launch round after round of attacks.

First, nearly a hundred Youzhou cavalry crossed the village in waves and shot arrows at the dirt houses. Seeing that the bows and arrows did not threaten the people in the houses, they divided a knight in armor and walked around the house from the left and right wings. The armored knights did not shoot arrows. They clamped the horse's belly with their feet, waved the long ropes with their hands, and used the war horses to accelerate, they threw out the ropes in their hands, buckled the rafters of the dirt houses on both sides, fences in front of the courtyard and other protruding parts. Then they buckled the ropes on the saddle and rode back. The ropes were straight and loudly rumbling, and the mud and dust were stirred. The two dirt houses on the outside that had been disrepaired were pulled into pieces.

Not far away were the Youzhou Army and the Heishan Army lined up in two square formations. They took advantage of the collapse of the house and the people inside were exposed to them, and the sound of strings flew from all directions like rain. The soldiers of Jizhou raised their shields to block them. The arrows were either shot on the shield or penetrated through the gaps between the shields, causing a burst of blood mist and screams; or hit the broken walls, and the dust shot out, making continuous sounds.

At this time, the originally connected dirt houses were originally connected, but because the houses on both sides collapsed, there were only the dirt houses in the middle, standing alone among the broken walls.

After more than ten rounds of cavalry and infantry archers in Youzhou shot, dozens of soldiers in Jizhou fell down. At this time, the arm strength of the archers gradually disappeared, and the feather arrows became sparse. However, Du Chang had no vitality in his hand, causing the attack rhythm to be interrupted.

At this moment, the Jizhou army counterattacked.

First, more than twenty crossbowmen rushed out of the earthen house, and a burst of arrows shot over the Youzhou cavalry who was about to pull the earthen house with a lasso. Then, a general wearing black armor jumped out of the earthen house, holding two feet long spears. As soon as he appeared, he was like a tiger coming out of the earthen house, crashing into the archery formation of the Youzhou army and the Heishan army who were retreating with exhaustion, causing a bloody storm.

"It's Gao Lan, a strong general of the Jizhou Army!"

Du Chang, who was commanding the battle on the hillside, was surprised. He didn't expect that after more than ten rounds of shooting, he would be counterattacked by the enemy; he was happy that Gao Lan was a powerful general who had been named by the Jizhou Army. No matter who there were people in the house, it would be a great achievement to take his life.

With the order from Du Chang, the Youzhou army and the Heishan army infantry swarmed up and launched a strong attack. The soldiers of Jizhou, inspired by the two generals, stepped on the corpse of the comrade and waved their swords and spears to welcome the enemy.

Two large and small torrents collided, causing blood mist all over the sky. The small and unknown mountain village turned into a Shura field in an instant.

When Ma Han and his scout team arrived, they saw this bloody killing scene.

Ma Han noticed the center of the entire battlefield at a glance - the Waste Village Tuwu.

Who is inside? Ma Han was immediately attracted by this question. He believed that all the soldiers of Youzhou Army wanted to know this answer at the moment, and it was his duty as a scout.

Ma Han's eyes wandered, and a green hill that was leaning on the earthen house rose from the ground. The mountain was about twenty feet high to attract his attention. The mountain was not high, but it stood almost vertically, and was covered with weeds and moss, so it was impossible to climb. This is also the reason why the Youzhou army could only attack from three sides and could not encircle. However, for Ma Han, all the impossible would become possible.

Having made up his mind, Ma Han slid his stirrup and took off his horse, told his deputy, took off his helmet, took off his leather armor, put his knife bow on his back, picked up a bag of arrows, and ran towards the hill quickly.

Marven has rich experience in climbing, but if such a nearly vertical mountain is not used, even a spider-man will be at risk of falling off a cliff. Marven of course has rock climbing tools, and his tools are iron hands!

After climbing to the top of the mountain from a relatively gentle place on the side and back, what he faces is an almost straight cliff. Ma Han clasped the cliff wall with his five fingers with his left hand, and slowly poked out his body. When his whole body moved out of the cliff, he slowly sank. Looking from bottom to top, he saw that he hung up his entire body with only one hand. The first step is not difficult, as long as he has enough arms and courage, it is not difficult to do it. The real difficulty is to find a support point or a foothold in the next step.

The normal support point is the gap between the rocks, but not every gap can be stretched into the fingers or withstand the heavy pressure of the legs. The most terrible thing is that when you climb halfway, you can't find any cracks, which is a bad situation where you can't get up to the sky or go down to the ground... So climbing such a cliff with bare hands is almost no different from seeking death.

But Ma Han had his own methods, but seeing his right fingers close together like a shovel, and the stone chips were flying, and the first knuckles of the four fingers were embedded in the stone wall - special alloy nails that could easily cut steel bars into two pieces and make holes in the rock, it was not difficult.

With this super mountaineering "rivet", Ma Han slid down from the cliff step by step with his hands in an almost impossible posture. Since the position he chose was in the northwest, this place was not the main battlefield, and with branches and leaves, no one except his scout team discovered it. The defenseman Jizhou Army never expected that behind the army, the backyard of the earthen house had quietly sneaked into the uninvited guest.

In this era, the dirt houses in the villages had no windows. Originally, Ma Han wanted to investigate the situation inside the house, so he could only go up the roof and spread the thatch to peek. However, the houses on both sides of the dirt house collapsed, and the tilted beams collapsed a corner of the dirt house. The soil wall in the southwest was half damaged. As long as you get closer, you can see the situation inside the house clearly.

Ma Han sneaked into the backyard and saw a snow-white, tall and majestic war horse tied in front of the wooden stakes in the yard. Ma Han recognized at a glance that this was not the type of Youyan horse (the predecessor of the Mongolian horse) that is common in the Youzhou military camp, but the Western Regions horse.

Whether it was Gongsun Zan's Youzhou Army or Yuan Shao's Jizhou Army, the war horses they used, except for some elite white horses, Yicong, who rode the tall Bingzhou horses and Liangzhou horses, the rest were all horse breeds from the northern desert grasslands. This ** has good endurance, sufficient stamina, and strong adaptability, but the horse's body is short, its limbs are strong and short, and its sprint and speed are not as good as that of the Western Regions horses.

The tall horse with smooth fur, slender limbs, wide and thick chest muscles, and a tall horse one head taller than an ordinary war horse, with obvious characteristics of the Western Regions horse breed - isn't this the legendary Dayuan horse, right?

Such a horse would naturally not be able to ride an idle person. This can be seen from the silver-inlaid bridle and the exquisite and shiny gold-jeweled rhinoceros saddle. Not to mention, there was a groom on the side who was carefully feeding the essence and beans.

Good horse! Ma Han's eyes lit up and he touched it quietly. He cut it into the back of the groom's neck with a hand knife. He took the beans from the groom's hand and gently stroked the white horse's snow-white mane while continuing to feed it. Ma Han took out the level of horse training that year, and soon eliminated the hostility of the white horse and initially established trust.

"Wait for me, I'll take you away later." Ma Qian stroked the horse's forehead. Only then did he notice that the horse was snow-white all over, with only a silver-gray mane covered with a strand of silver-gray mane, which looked extremely special.

"Hey, Yinjian, just call it Yinjian." Ma Han thought of the horse's name almost instantly.

Ma Han, who named his name for the reservation, walked quickly to the broken wall and glanced at it, and the situation inside the house was in full view.

But in the room, except for four soldiers guarding the door and holding a sword armor with a tight face, there were only three people dressed in a unique outfit.

The two stood on the left and right, one dressed as a scholar and the other was a military general. The middle one knelt on a thick felt mat, and there was a short table in front of them with a map spread out. It was obvious that the person who was kneeling was the leader of all the soldiers outside, including the outside.

The direction of Ma Han peeping was behind him, and he saw this man wearing gold armor, a first-class gilt helmet next to the table, an exquisitely decorated sword hanging on his waist, and a purple big sling. He was in this danger, and was calm and as if he was as strong as a mountain standing in the Yuanting.

Who is such a stunning character?

At this moment, a rapid sound of hoofs came from outside the courtyard. Ma Han raised his head and saw a group of Youzhou cavalry flying past outside the courtyard. The sound of strings was shaking, and arrows were like rain, shooting more than 20 crossbowmen in front of the earthen house.

Hey! This is actually the scout team led by me! When was it taken away by Chang Du?

Several tributaries of arrows shot into the house from the broken wall, and they were nailed to the earth wall. The mud and dust fell down and fell on the shoulder armor of the general of the golden armor.

At this time, the scholar standing beside him was shocked. He ignored the superiors and inferiors and stepped forward to pull the Golden Armor General, trying to pull him to the broken wall in the backyard to hide. The Golden Armor General pressed his knees and his face turned pale. He grabbed the gilded pole and slapped it on the ground and slapped heavily: "A real man is fighting to death, but he fled to the walls and evil?"

After saying that, he drew his sword and unsheathed it, pointed out his fingers outside the house, shouting: "You guys, follow me, Yuan Shao to fight and attack Youzhou army together!"

Yuan Shao! This person is actually Yuan Shao!

Ma Han's head buzzed and his eyes shone. He couldn't stop his luck even if he came!
