"Damn it, are the Han soldiers still setting up an ambush ahead?" Gao Ding shouted angrily under the shade of the tree.

"Your Majesty, the front camp has gone to drive out the Han army. It is expected that the army will be ready to move out soon."

After hearing this, Gao Ding felt better and said warmly: "Well, just tell the front camp to drive away the Han soldiers, and don't pursue them too deeply."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huo Yuan replied respectfully.

Gao Ding nodded, looked forward, and kept praying in his heart, hoping that his son could successfully drive away the Han army. These days, he has had enough of these hundreds of Han cavalry.

These enemy cavalry can't catch up with them, can't hit them, they're like dog skin plaster, they can't be shaken off no matter how hard they stick.

In the past few days, they were either ambushing the road ahead in broad daylight or attacking the camp at night. This group of Han people did not seek to kill many enemies. They would kill every one they could. It was so disgusting that people had to brace themselves to defend themselves against the enemy.

.

Otherwise, once they relax their vigilance, the Han cavalry will seize the flaw and attack aggressively, biting off a piece of their own flesh. This type of attack has never been seen in Gaoding.

When he thought about it, the Han cavalry sent out for the same purpose as he had sent Gao Zhong. It was actually to harass the enemy. However, the Han army's harassment methods were unprecedented. These people could really run away with one arrow.

.

These days, most of the energy has been consumed in dealing with the harassment by the army. The march of the army has become extremely slow, already two or three days slower than planned.

Facing this situation, Gao Ding was angry and anxious, but he racked his brains and couldn't think of an effective way to deal with it.

He once also set up a strategy to lure the Han army into an ambush. However, the Han generals were very cunning and were about to fall into the trap. However, at the critical moment, the Han army still issued an order to retreat, which really made Gao Ding and others feel helpless.

In fact, that battle also made Feng Chong break out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't suddenly felt blessed at the critical moment, he might have fallen into the barbarian's plan and been lured into an ambush. Fortunately, he thought of Yang Qing's instructions at the critical moment, and then

The order to withdraw was issued promptly, and the Han army escaped disaster.

When Feng Chong thought about this later, he couldn't help but feel scared. He kept reminding himself that he must not rush ahead because of his greed for success. His mission was only to delay the enemy's army, not to defeat it.

After experiencing this dangerous incident, Feng Chong acted more carefully. Once there was a possibility of entanglement with the Yi soldiers, he immediately led his troops to stay away and resolutely implemented the sixteen-character guerrilla tips given by Yang Qing.

Feng Chong's tactics were so changeable that Gao Ding felt a little uncomfortable. Based on his many years of experience in battle, he felt that he had now entered the rhythm of the Han army. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.

He almost wanted to transfer his own cavalry back to deal with the Han cavalry, but the high-level battle reports all stated that the looting results were significant and the Han people were severely hit.

Seeing that the raid by his own cavalry was so beneficial, Gaoding finally gave up the idea of ​​recalling the cavalry and had to send a large number of crossbowmen to the front line to drive away the enemy cavalry. This was the most effective method he could think of.

"The leader of the Guli clan can be said to have strong soldiers and horses now." In the Qiang soldier camp outside the city, Yang Qing and Gulichi walked side by side, followed by Zhang Ni, Yang Xi, Guli Zha's brother and sister, Badi and others.

The Qiang soldiers finally arrived at Anshang City yesterday afternoon, which made Yang Qing and others breathe a sigh of relief. After they rested and settled down for the night, this morning Yang Qing came to reward them with people and wine and meat.

Gu Lichi laughed and said: "The Lord of the Prefecture has given you too much praise. Our son-in-law is just brave and not afraid of death. How can we compare with the might of the official army and the bravery of the soldiers?" Although his words were modest, there was something hidden in his eyebrows.

The self-satisfied look caught Yang Qing's eyes.

However, Gulichi did have some self-satisfied capital. Since the spoils of the last victory were distributed, the Qiang soldiers' combat power has greatly increased.

Now these three thousand Qiang soldiers not only have an iron weapon in hand, but also one-third of them are wearing armor. More than a hundred of them are even wearing iron armor. The total number of bows and crossbows in the entire army is four to five hundred.

shelf.

This kind of military strength has made the Guli tribe one of the most powerful tribes in the south. How can Gulichi be unhappy because his tribe's strength has greatly increased, so he has been in a good mood these days.

After receiving Yang Qing's military order, no one in the Guli tribe had any objections or doubts. Gulichi immediately led his troops to the county seat after arranging matters within the tribe.

Yang Qing was very satisfied with the performance of the Guli tribe, so he went out of the city to reward the Qiang soldiers in person. This was also a proper move to deepen the relationship between the two families.

As expected, all the Qiang soldiers were greatly moved when they saw the eunuch coming to greet him in person, and they all expressed their willingness to fight to the death.

"You don't have to be too modest. Your department's strength has greatly increased, which is a good thing for you and the county." Yang Qing said with a smile.

Gu Lichi understood Yang Qing's intention and responded: "That's what Mr. Fu said." After that, he asked again: "By the way, Mr. Fu, I wonder when we will send out troops?" This is a big event, and Zhang Yi and others will follow later.

I also want to know, and everyone listens carefully.

Yang Qingdao: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Isn't that guy from Gao Ding not here yet? Let your son have a good rest these days. They will have to work hard later."

"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, our son will definitely die." Gu Lichi said, patting his chest.

"I can rest assured that you are waiting for me." Yang Qing smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look over there."

On a densely forested hill in Xindao County, several Han army scouts hid their bodies and cautiously poked their heads out to look at the column of Yi troops advancing rapidly down the mountain.

A scout with a childish face whispered to Pao Ze beside him: "Boss, these bastards must have really withdrawn, right?"

"Nine times out of ten, it's true." The middle-aged man who was called the leader nodded and replied: "We followed them all the way from Lianxiang. These barbarian soldiers have been on the road, and the occasional rest is only for a moment. Come to think of it,

They got an urgent order and had to hurry back."

"Then shall we return to the camp and return to Sima Ta?" the young scout asked again.

The middle-aged scout thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, let's follow them for a while to prevent the Yi soldiers from pretending to retreat."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This middle-aged scout has been in the army for a long time, has rich experience, and is cautious and cautious. He knows that the barbarian cavalry is fast. If they suddenly turn back and kill them, they will be killed.

It wasn't impossible, so he decided to conduct some more reconnaissance.

However, if Gao Zhong at the foot of the mountain knew what this Han army scout was thinking, I'm afraid he would say that you are overthinking.

He really received Gao Ding's order to turn back the brigade. The reason was that Gao Ding had been harassed by Feng Chong for the past six days and was exhausted mentally and physically. It was really unbearable, so he decided to call Gao Chong back and prepare to fight against the cavalry. Completely get rid of the entanglement of Han cavalry.

Gao Chong actually didn't want to retreat just yet. Although the Han people sent soldiers and horses to garrison in Lianxiang, the officers and soldiers were all infantry and could not be rescued at all, so the threat to him was not great.

In the past few days, he had been leading his tribe to and fro in central and southern Anshang, and it could be said that he was extremely happy.

If it weren't for his brother's strong military orders, he would really be reluctant to let me leave. However, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to obey the orders and return.

"Hurry, speed up." Gao Chong stood on horseback by the road, constantly urging his followers.

After the troop speed increased, he reluctantly looked in the direction of Anshang, secretly thinking that he would come back soon.

"Sima, Gaozhong's troops have left Xindao County and are rushing to Gaoding Brigade." In the barracks, the scout reported to Shen Da.

Shen Da nodded and said to himself: "So it is true that the Yi soldiers retreated."

"You did a good job, go down and have a rest."

After Shen Da waved his hand to the scouts to retreat, he returned to the table and wrote down military information documents. He wanted to report to Zhang Yi and ask for instructions on the next step.

He was really relieved that the Yi cavalry left. After he led the troops to Lianxiang, their effect was not very great. He could only barely protect the villages near the camp.
