After all, Zhang He is a famous Wei general with rich experience, both wisdom and bravery. As soon as he grasped the latest military information, he immediately realized that the side of the Ax Mountain Stronghold was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Since Yang Qing personally led the army to attack, he would never He has no backup plan, he is extremely cunning and full of tricks, and no one but Shao Heng and Fan Jing can match him.

In order to prevent his 3,000 sharp soldiers from being lost in the hands of the Han army, Zhang He quickly sent his fast horse to Xishan stronghold to convey the order, ordering Shao Heng and Fan Jing to immediately stop the attack and evacuate and return. If they were too late or found it difficult to retreat, they would also have to Set up camp and build a stronghold on the spot, and wait for help.

It's a pity that Zhang He's reaction was still a step too late. Before the envoy arrived at Fushan Village, he encountered the defeated army led by Shao Heng on the way. There were 3,000 troops when they arrived, but now they were less than half of the original number.

"General, we have fallen into a trap. There are more than 2,000 Shu troops on the side of Ax Mountain Stronghold. They are the same as the troops in the hands of the general, which is also 3,000 soldiers and horses. Moreover, they all have horses to travel, and they are all cavalry!" Shao Heng knelt down. In front of Zhang He, he burst into tears and said.

Zhang He saw that his hair was disheveled and his body was covered with blood. He felt sad and annoyed at the same time, and said: "Oh, this battle is all someone's fault for failing. No wonder you. If someone hadn't attacked rashly without knowing the enemy's situation clearly, you and others would It won’t be such a heavy loss. You don’t need to blame yourself for this, just get up and speak.”

After that, he bent down to help Shao Heng up, and then asked: "How did this battle go? How were you defeated? Is the person leading the army of the Shu thieves the same guy as Yang Qing?"

"The general clearly saw that the leader of the bandit army was none other than Yang Qing. He first defended the pass with two thousand troops and lured us to attack, but there was a cavalry hidden at the foot of the mountain.

When Beizhi and Fan Sima were concentrating on commanding the troops to attack the mountain, the thief general Feng Chong suddenly led a cavalry of about a thousand people to fight out from behind our army. He caught us by surprise and our army's formation was torn apart. , fell into chaos.

At this time, the bandits on the mountain also took the opportunity to rush down. Being attacked from both inside and outside, the lower-ranking officials could no longer resist and had to scatter and break out.

In order to prevent the thieves from pursuing, Fan Sima took the initiative to ask for a post. Alas, if he and his brothers had not risked their lives to stop the Shu thieves this time, our army would have been completely wiped out in this battle, and I would not have been able to come back to see the general again. Alas, it was just What a pity, Fan Sima!" Shao Heng replied sadly.

Zhang He felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard that Fan Jing died for his country. While pacing back and forth in the tent, he softly shouted: "Fan Jing, Fan Jing..." His voice was choked with sadness. win.

Fan Jing is an old man who has followed Zhang He for many years. Although his talents are not outstanding, he has always been loyal to him. When Jieting was defeated and escaped last year, Fan Jing was also by Zhang He's side and never left him.

The two of them had shared adversity, lived and died together for almost ten years, and had a deep friendship. They didn't want to be separated forever today. Zhang He was both sad and angry when he thought of this. He suddenly raised his voice and roared through gritted teeth: "Yang Qing is a thief, I swear. Kill you, I swear to kill you!"

After venting like this, Zhang He felt that the bad breath in his chest had spewed out a lot. Now that the enemy was facing the enemy and the situation was critical, he still had to force himself to calm down as much as possible.

"Lingguang, hurry up and call the generals over. We are going to plan the next action strategy. Our army is defeated, and Yang Qing will definitely come here to attack our army with Liao Hua. We don't have much time, so we must move quickly. "

Shao Heng also knew that the situation was serious and hurriedly agreed: "Nuo, I'll leave my job right now."

On the Ax Mountain stronghold, smoke was lingering. The Han troops who had cleaned the battlefield were eating. The sergeants gathered together in twos and threes, each holding a bowl full of corn rice and eating it deliciously.

A large amount of military rations were seized from the Wei army. The Han army no longer had to eat dried meat, swallow biscuits, and drink cold water as they did when they were on the road. Not only was there enough rice today, but also the fat meat slices with plenty of oil and water were enough for everyone. It is made to ensure that all the troops can enjoy this celebration banquet.

"Your Majesty, the results of today's battle have been calculated. More than 900 people below Sima Fan Jing of the Wei army were killed, and a total of more than 600 people were captured and surrendered. A number of armors, bows and crossbows and other military equipment were seized." Feng Chong unfolded the letter. , read aloud.

Yang Qing was enjoying dinner. After hearing these words, he immediately put down his chopsticks, raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay, most of the three thousand Wei troops were wiped out. Zhang He suffered heavy losses this time."

"What the envoy said is true. Our army won two battles and two victories in one day, and almost wiped out 3,000 of the Wei army. According to previous intelligence, the total strength of the Wei army from Hengshan to Fushan was only 5,000 or 6,000. Now the losses are Halfway through, your vitality will definitely be severely damaged." Feng Chong agreed.

Yang Qingdao: "Well, with such a victory, our hard work these days is not in vain. This extra meal in the evening should be regarded as today's celebration banquet. We must let the soldiers eat well."

"Don't worry, brothers are having a good time!"

Feng Chong smiled and then asked: "Now the Wei army is surrounded by our army, and our army's strength is almost twice that of the Wei army. It can be said that we have an advantage. Your Majesty, do you want to attack Hengshan and Liao Hua in one go?" Will the generals gather together to annihilate Zhang He?"

"Don't be so anxious. The sergeants have not only been traveling for several days, but also fought two battles in succession today. They are already exhausted and have no energy left to rush to Hengshan. It is better to rest one night first and wait. When we regain our strength tomorrow, it won't be too late to attack the Wei army from a flank."

Feng Chong said: "But the general is a little worried about the long nights and dreams. If something unexpected happens and Zhang He escapes, wouldn't we be in a huge loss?"

"Haha, Gongxu, you didn't take advantage enough, so you will suffer a loss. Don't worry, with General Yuanjian at Hengshan, Zhang He won't be able to escape so easily. Besides, our primary goal this time is to capture Micheng , whether he can capture Zhang He is the next best thing.

It's already getting late, so you should go eat quickly, rest early, recuperate your energy, and store up your weapons. We will march to Hengshan early tomorrow morning." Yang Qing said with a smile.

On the other side, Zhang He was temporarily relieved after learning that Yang Qing did not lead his army to kill overnight. He had made arrangements and was preparing to lead the Wei army to retreat to Qicheng under the cover of night.

At present, Zhang He's troops are insufficient, and what he fears most is the two Han armies attacking him from the front and back. Since the Han army from the Ax Mountain Stronghold has not attacked, he has the opportunity to get rid of the constraints of Liao Hua's troops and withdraw smoothly.

In the middle of the night after arriving, the Wei soldiers were all dressed up and assembled, with their horses and horses bound and hoofed. Zhang He gave an order, and more than 4,000 soldiers quietly opened the gate of the village and headed north.

After walking less than five miles, Zhang He ordered Shao Heng to lead two thousand troops to light torches and continue marching forward with great fanfare. He himself led the remaining troops to hide in the dense forests on both sides of the road.

On the Hengshan stronghold, Liao Hua already knew that the Wei army had abandoned the camp and was fleeing north, so he quickly ordered his troops and horses to go down the mountain to pursue them.

"Report, the Wei army has fled ten miles away."

Liao Hua was a little anxious after hearing this, fearing that Zhang He would escape and ruin Yang Qing's plan to annihilate the Wei army, so he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "All the troops should speed up. As long as we catch up with the enemy, it will be a great achievement." "

After hearing this, the morale of the Han troops was greatly boosted. They stretched out their legs and quickly chased after him.

"Report, our army is only seven or eight miles away from the Wei army."

Liao Hua was overjoyed and secretly thought that his encouragement had indeed worked. Just as he was about to give more encouragement to the troops, he suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, and countless lights flickered in from the corners of his eyes, which made him hurriedly block it with his hands.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

This is the sound of arrows being fired! Who is releasing the arrows?

"Ah, ah, ah..."
