On the last day of August, the siege continued, and it became more and more rapid and tragic, as if it was about to wipe out people.

I can no longer catch Ding Zhuang in the wild.

All the castle walls that can be broken have been broken.

If they cannot be defeated, they also sent some money and food. If the Ding Zhuang comes over, it will be inappropriate if they ask for it, and they will resist.

Wang Mi had more than 24,000 people, of which 10,000 were "veterans" brought from Dayang. The remaining more than 10,000 were Hongnong. For Wang Mi, they were consumables.

After a few days of siege, he was able to achieve 3,000 strong strength, and today he received another 1,000 people. These 4,000 people are now regarded as veterans by Wang Mi, and are considered their own people.

These people can't fight any big battles for the time being, so they have to endure like an eagle to make them feel at home. Then they can take them to enjoy some benefits, such as rape and plunder, or reward a few more money to truly become their own people.

Wang Mi sent a thousand veterans to cross the river through the Wujin Ferry and the pontoon bridge.

Wujin, located three miles northwest of Hongnong County, is the key to Dahejin Ferry, and to the west there is Tongjin, which was later moved to Hedong, and is called "Fengling Du".

There are only these three places between Hongnong and Hedong that are most convenient to cross the river.

Shao Xun occupied Maojin, Liu Cong, and Wang Mi occupied Wujin, and no one cared about Tongjin to the west.

If Liu Cong and Wang Mi retreat now, they can cross the river through Wujin.

From then on, you can reach Ruicheng, which was later, then cross Zhongtiaoshan Xingdao, and arrive at the Yongji area of ​​the Yuncheng River Basin.

The question now is, should we just cross the river and evacuate?

Wang Mi was a little confused. He wanted to cross the river and return to Hedong, and then retake Dayang after joining the army - he was really a little scared.

At the same time, Wang Mi also wanted to advance east now, recover Shan County, and block Shao's bandits in Dayang.

Even if he was unable to keep him in the end, and let Shao thieves flee toward the east through Zhuguanxing and into Hanoi, at least part of them could be left behind to teach him a lesson.

I can't deal with you alone, but the emperor is gathering a large army, and tens of thousands of cavalry will surround you. Can you still have wings and fly away?

Compared with Wang Mi, Liu Cong wanted to keep Shao Thief more.

He has become a little bit over the war until now.

Yuan Yan first pretended to surrender, which made him so angry that he was so angry that he was filled with smoke. Then, he sent someone to carry his helmet and battle suit to spread it everywhere, which made him even more passionate. Now Shao Xun attacked Dayang again, defeated Wang Sang, and slapped him in the face.

How do you tell me how to endure this?

He knew that Liu Yao and Liu Jing had already summoned troops in Pingyang and Hedong, and soldiers from various tribes gathered together, and now there are 30,000 to 40,000 cavalry.

The Grand Sikong Hu Yanyi gathered infantry and used the imperial guards who were good at fighting, such as the backbone of the imperial guards, the left and right guards of the Yulin, the left and right guards of the Yulin, the cavalry, the Yue cavalry, the sound of the shooting sound, the strong crossbow, and other troops, supplemented by tribal soldiers and the Han army. Now there are 70,000 to 80,000 people.

If these people are pressed up, Shao Xun will be unlucky. But the question is, what does it have to do with him, Liu Cong if he wins like this?

He wanted to win now, with the more than 7,000 cavalry in his hands and more than 20,000 infantry in Wang Mi. Only by winning in this way can he avenge his previous shame. Otherwise, he would always feel uncomfortable.

So, he quickly made a decision.

Yuan Yan, this thief, let him go for the time being and leave tens of thousands of stairs and cavalry to monitor him.

If he dares to leave the city, he will be unable to ask for it and will encircle and annihilate the two or three thousand remaining people.

If he dared not leave the city, he would only live for more than a month.

After thinking it through, he immediately issued a series of orders...

*******

"I don't know if the autumn is sown at home." Zhang Gu sat on the Qiliai Mountain Road, staring at the deep post road under the plateau.

His family had moved to Liang County long ago to cultivate fields in the countryside.

This year's severe drought has caused a complete destruction of agriculture.

Fruit trees, vegetable beds, and pastures, such quick money-making items, were swept away.

If winter wheat had not been harvested in May, the grain would have been pelleted.

After autumn, there was a few rains, but there was no so-called "continuous autumn rain", and there was still a little bit of overall lack.

According to the plan, if feasible, the autumn will be sown in early September, and the fifteenth of September cannot be delayed at the latest.

Hope it will be what you want.

The terrain of Hongnong's soil plate is relatively new to Zhanggu.

Not as high as the mountain, but much steep.

Some plateau walls, even straight up and down, form many deep valleys.

Today, let these valleys become the burial place for the enemy.

"Master of the pavilion, the thief cavalry is still thirty miles away." A scout rushed up the plateau and reported.

"Explore again." Zhang Gu ordered.

"promise."

After the scout left, Zhang Gu was a little worried and wandered around the ambushing points on the plateau to make the final confirmation.

There are five hundred soldiers on the western plateau, not all gathered in one place, but in fact they are divided into several parts.

While checking, Zhang Gu recalled Duan Xiong's words that day: "A thousand people lie on the plateaus on both sides. When the enemy soldiers arrived, you counted the heads. After passing ten teams (500 people), you immediately fired the crossbows. When the arrows were fired, Xiyuan shot first, shouted while shooting. The thieves must want to hide and give them their backs to Dongyuan. After hearing the shouts from Xiyuan, you will lead people to shoot arrows and kill and hurt people."

After all, people who are from the imperial guards can really fight.

The superior ordered an ambush, and Zhang Gu led people to ambush, but he was not very clear about how to ambush to achieve the best killing effect.

Who will tell you this kind of small details and tips? If you hadn’t experienced it, how could you learn it? I’m afraid I can only explore and summarize it slowly by myself.

The Duan Xiong Cult's method is actually the experience passed down in the imperial guards, which is a military inheritance.

Once the inheritance is broken, the experience may be gone, and then the newcomers will start from scratch and explore and summarize.

Therefore, once experienced officers and soldiers join the migrant army, their combat effectiveness will be rapidly improved, which is one of the reasons.

Zhang Gu returned to the position before departure and told the soldiers to eat some food and water to maintain their strength.

After a while, the scout came to report that there were still twenty miles left.

After a while, ten miles, five miles...

The sound of horse hooves gradually became louder and still very dense.

Zhang Gu's expression turned up and lay on the plateau and watched quietly.

Slowly, the enemy appeared in his eyes.

There are more than ten cavalry in front, which are enemy scouts, rangers, one man and three horses.

In the marching, it was difficult for a large group of people to wait slowly for the scouts to search carefully, and it was even more impossible to send people to check the soil plates on both sides. Of course, some generals were cautious and would rather not have time to arrive at the destination and watch the friendly forces fall into danger than to ensure their safety first. Such people would stop and wait for a day and a half to ensure safety before leaving. Liu Cong obviously couldn't wait.

The ranger passed quickly and disappeared on the horizon in the distance.

The ambush did not respond at all and let him go.

The sound of horse hooves came again. This time there were more than 200 cavalrymen, and each man and three horses were also allowed to go.

Just when Zhang Gu was waiting a little uneasy, there were finally overwhelming cavalry ahead.

With one man and two horses, more than 4,000 riders seemed imposing.

Zhang Gu stared at him with wide eyes.

Because the terrain gradually gathered and there were too many people and horses, the enemy cavalry gradually slowed down and moved forward in a column.

In short, from the originally boundless "sea" to the surging "torrent".

The torrent is majestic and moves forward.

The horse is strong and has a flying mane when it is galloping. The huge horse's hooves are thrusting on the mud, trembling with a breathtaking tremor.

The people on the horse's back riding skills are excellent, and they control the horse leisurely, and the people and horses are very well combined.

To be honest, Zhang Gu felt that their cavalry was better than the imperial guards, and they were much better than the half-baked men in the mansion who claimed to be able to fight.

The general infantry can't stand it by riding a horse, bending a bow and arrow, and repeatedly harassing.

But today, grandpa is going to kill you!

Zhang Gu counted silently in his heart. After almost five hundred cavalry, he asked someone to raise a big flag, then shouted and shot the arrow out.

"Kill!" The two hundred people following him seemed to have received a signal, and they all pulled out their bows and crossbows and shot them down the plateau.

Those who can't shoot arrows hold big stones and smash them down with great effort.

The post road suddenly turned over.

The Huns were shocked and angry. Some subconsciously found a place to hide, while others destroyed their horses and rushed forward.

At this moment, flags were also raised on the east plateau opposite, and the sound of killing sounds rose.

Dozens of crossbowmen were shooting and killing the panicked Huns, killing and clamoring loudly - this was sending a signal.

"Roar! Don't stop!" Liu Ling, General Liu Hanpingbei, roared and ran forward with his personal soldiers.

The others also reacted and followed his flag.

The narrow road encountered a hidden road, but the number of enemy soldiers was not large. Judging from the density of arrows, one or two hundred people were killed, but there was not much damage.
To be continued...
