The military strategy is full of military tactics. Those who are interested in the vigilance fall down from the general, and those who are interested in the vigilance arrive halfway through the vigilance. Zhang Zong ran eighty miles in one day and night. Only half of his troops were left behind, and the other half was gradually gathering.

Therefore, when the general Huwei learned that Chimei had mobilized at least eight camps of ten thousand people to come to him, his first reaction was to order: "Retreat."

Gai Yan, who had been waiting for several days, was suddenly anxious: "Although I am vulgar, I have also heard that in general, I must select brave generals and elite soldiers to form a vanguard when fighting against the enemy. This will strengthen our army's fighting spirit, and the other hand, it can defeat the enemy's majesty. For the three armies, the vanguard is like a sword tip to a sword. I have heard that the tiger-powered general is full of courage and has been trapped in battle many times to break the enemy. Now that I have just arrived at the battlefield, I have retreated. Wouldn't it be a great blow to our army's majesty?"

Seeing that Gai Yan wanted to use words to stimulate him, it was ridiculous. He was a brave general, but he would also use his brain to judge the situation. He then said: "The vanguard not only has the purpose of strengthening our ambitions and slashing the enemy's power, but also has to detect the army's path, seize the key territorial advantage, and explore the distribution of the enemy. If possible, then mobilize it a little."

"Of course I know that Ma Guowei has been defending the wilderness for days, fighting alone in a difficult situation. His Majesty is anxious and told me to act boldly and attack at night, break the siege of the thief army, and save the robbery in danger..."

"But if you are too impatient, you will be hit by the Red Eyebrow trick."

Zhang Zong knew very well why His Majesty the Emperor allowed him to move forward a hundred miles: Although the troops after the rushing marches had no combat power at all, he could just show his face. The Sanhe soldiers were like a Mitsubishi arrow, and were erected by the fifth reunion. The emperor set his bow from afar and aimed at Fan Chong's back, so that the Red Eyebrows Army could not attack Ma Yuan with all their strength.

Seeing that Gai Yan was still trying to persuade him again, Zhang Zong said again: "There is something that says "Wu Zi" that those who use the masses should be easy, and those who use the few should be narrow. Nowadays, there are many Red Eyebrow soldiers, which are suitable for spreading on flat terrain. However, I have few soldiers. If I want to block the fierce attack of Red Eyebrows, I need a dangerous and narrow place."

However, it is not easy to find a dangerous and narrow place on the Heji Plain. Looking around, there is no small hill or a stream that can be used as a support for the Wei army.

In this case, facing ten times the enemy, it is naturally a rational choice to avoid his sharp edge.

But Gai Yan didn't think so. In his opinion, Red Eyebrows were scattered soldiers and raiders. With three thousand raiders in hand, just one infantry and a few rounds of charges could make Red Eyebrows defeated - as long as Yuyang raids are there, you can win with a dog!

But the "tiger general" in front of him is not even as good as a dog!

Gai Yan suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked, "How far does the general plan to retreat?"

Zhang Zong said: "If the red eyebrows do not pursue them deeply, they will retreat three miles."

This was the order of the fifth reunion to him. The Sanhe soldiers must stick to the Red Eyebrow Army like candy, making them in a dilemma.

"If the red eyebrows are chasing each other, I will retreat thirty miles all the way to lure the enemy north."

Zhang Zong said: "When the troops are dispersed, the power is weak, and when the gathering is gathered, the power is strong. This is the common sense of military strategists. The enemy attacks us with all the troops, and I should join forces to attack them. It is better to retreat slightly. It is important to join forces with subsequent reinforcements. By then, the Wei army will merge and the Red Eyebrows will be divided."

The fifth reunion that made such a deployment obviously also discovered this excellent situation of "center blossoming", hoping to let Ma Yuan attract the main force of the Red Eyebrow. The Jizhou soldiers, Sanhe soldiers, Yuyang Tuqi, Guanzhong soldiers, and various Central Army miscellaneous troops gathered and quickly moved closer to the battlefield.

Zhang Zong's statement was reasonable and could be carried out to suppress him. Gai Yan knew that he could not force it, so he just wanted to say goodbye in disappointment.

But Zhang Zong did not intend to let him go: "Our army is tired from afar, and the Red Eyebrow is coming in a fierce manner. I hope Juqing can cover our thief. If the thief goes deeper, you and I can also strike back!"

Gai Yan accepted the promise, but when he rode back, he cursed secretly: "I thought Zhang Zong was a brave man, but unexpectedly, he was so angry that he was also the former subordinate of General Wenyuan, and he refused to save him when he was dead."

How could Chimei chase after her deeply? She just wanted to force Zhang Zong back so that she could continue to siege Ma Yuan. The fifth reunion thought well, but when did his main force arrive? Tonight or tomorrow? After arriving, she had to rest for a long time before she could fight with Chimei? If Chimei captured Ma Yuan's chariot in just two days, Gai Yan would be resentful for life - he always felt that Ma Yuan was surrounded was related to his failure to carefully investigate the movements of Chimei.

Zhang Zong and Gai Yan talked about strategy and military tactics, but Yan land men did not like to be so calm and cold-blooded. Their blood was hot and generous and tragic, and it could make the cold Yishui boil!

In the battle of Ao Cang, Ma Yuan's heroic appearance was particularly in front of him. As a subordinate, how could he ignore the master and the general was trapped?

Thinking of this, Gai Yan stopped the horse and said to himself: "Since the emperor and Zhang Zong will not save him, then I will help General Wenyuan to break out of the encirclement!"

...

"General Huwei, we have been rushing for a day and night. When we arrived at the place, we didn't even have the strength to stand in the camp. We just lie on the grass and wanted to sleep. We just closed our eyes but were woken up and said we were going to rush back. Why is this? Is it really the general's order?"

The three river soldiers were mixed with good and bad. There were old soldiers who had fought for several years, and the powerful armed forces from Hanoi and Luoyang, who were shouting and refused to leave.

The fifth one asked Zhang Zong to take them, because he was attracted by Zhang's cruel style and dared to kill.

Faced with these complaints, Zhang Zong did not answer, and first asked someone to take out the person who was leading the trouble, and directly chopped his head on the grounds of not accepting his orders and making noise in public...

His subordinates did not need to ask "why". Just as Zhang Zong strictly enforced the order when he received the fifth reunion order, and there would not be so much nonsense.

The soldiers who were yawning all over the sky were suddenly awake. They came lightly, and hurriedly carried the straw mat on their bodies, carried the spear, and retreated northward. They only secretly murmured that the officials were not humans and were just casually recreating soldiers.

But Zhang Zong didn't think he was a waste of time: "I'm here to put a nose ring on the Red Eyebrow Army."

Next, it depends on whether he can hold the Red Eyebrow Army's nose and achieve the goal of mobilizing the enemy.

However, Zhang Zong's plan to pull the enemy calmly, but because of a big mistake in one link, it turned into a big retreat.

The scouts traveled back and forth between the Sanhe soldiers and the Youzhou cavalry: "General, General Gai has ordered the Yuyang cavalry to assemble."

"Yuyang suddenly cavalry between our troops and the red eyebrows. When the red eyebrows are close to each other, they scatter and then gather again to challenge the red eyebrows farther away."

"Great chariot, with Yuyang's cavalry helping me, the Red Eyebrow can't get close to me. Once the people chase after them, they are out of touch with each other, or they are hesitant and want to retreat, it will be the time for our army to counterattack!"

Zhang Zong nodded. It seemed that although Gai Yan, the Yuyang grassroots, was a little stupid, he was indeed good at leading troops in war and was not completely unaware of others.

However, after a moment, the scout's expression became panicked.

"General Gai sent a villain to send a message, and asked General Huwei to continue to attract the main force of Red Eyebrow to pursue him. Sugaiyan could not follow him."

Zhang Zong was stunned: "What are Gai Juqing going to do?"

"The general said that if the general loses the general, the general and the captain are guilty. He dare not abandon the commander Ma Guowei, but only wants to live and die with him!"

"It's broken!" Zhang Zong was immediately anxious and hurriedly drove against the Sanhe soldiers who were retreating, rushed to the tail of the troops, got on the chariot, looked back with his toes, but he couldn't see it clearly.

The crows in the sky could see clearly: on the plain, a large array of red eyebrows and ten thousand people was advancing north in a mess, like a huge net to catch Zhang Zong's fish.

Gaiyan's Yuyang Riding Cavalry was like a group of small fish that gathered and scattered. Just when they were about to be swallowed by the Red Eyebrows, they miraculously passed by several miles west of the Red Eyebrows Army and headed straight to the south!

...

This is undoubtedly a bold interlude.

Gai Yanrunu delayed the Red Eyebrow Army for a moment for Zhang Zong, and only when he was supposed to withdraw, he issued an order to march south!

The Yuyang Rider relied on his mobility and rushed over before the two 10,000 battalions of the Red Eyebrow Army came. Gai Yan was behind the front line. When he rushed past, the Red Eyebrow Army on both sides was so close that he could see his eyebrows clearly, all of which were surprised and astonished...

What Gaiyan wants is unexpected!

Gaiyan asked Yuyang to form a rushing cavalry. Once the enemy encountered in front of him, he immediately warned him that he would let them gallop on this plain, farmland, roads, and wasteland.

One, two... counted until the eighth. The combat units of Red Eyebrow were 10,000 people. Five of the 10,000 people camps that attacked Zhang Zong were left behind by cavalry. If Gai Yan wanted to defeat two, he could easily defeat two. However, there were too many Red Eyebrows and could not kill them at all, but their war horses and knights were limited in strength. Once they made a mistake, they would never get out of it.

According to Gai Yan's observation over the past few days, the main force of the Red Eyebrow has been fully released. Perhaps Fan Chong was seduced by Zhang Zong in these eight camps of 10,000 people and ignored it. Even if he hurriedly turned around and rushed back, it would be too late!

For the cavalry, the distance between twenty miles was only a few moments. While the horses were sweating and gasping, the Yuyang Rider had approached the two hills surrounded by Ma Yuan.

After a while, Gai Yan roughly counted the number of people, at least hundreds of riders fell behind, and even fell into the siege of the Red Eyebrow.

"Everyone!"

Gai Yan turned around and shouted: "Yuyang Chuqi was ordered by the emperor and went south to join the war, but our reputation was not good, the governor did not love, and the prime minister did not love. When he was in Jizhou and Yecheng, the people of Ji regarded us as bandits."

"Looking at the generals of the Central Plains, only Ma Guowei can wait for the Yuyang cavalry fairly!"

"General Wu Ziyan had a gap with Ma Guowei. I thought he would be harsh and excluded, but Ma Guowei treated us like a child. He worked hard in the Chenliu army, but he often placed wine and oxen to enjoy the sacred people. He also said that if we were one person, we should treat five infantrymen, we must give preferential treatment, even if the infantrymen had not lost their salary or horse ingredients when they ate fried noodles."

"Military General Dong Xuan had long disliked us. He had always tried every means to restrain the Yuyang cavalry. He was also Ma Guowei who repeatedly protected him, saying that the Yuyang soldiers were wolfs. If we tame our ambitions, how could we bite the powerful enemy?"

This is Yu Gong. For individuals, Ma Yuan’s heroic spirit in Ao Cang made Gai Yan feel weak. In addition, he was similar in temperament. Gai Yan only regretted his low status and could not be called brothers with Ma Yuan...

At the end of Gai Yan's speech, the eight-foot-nine-inch man was already in tears: "We were doting as babies by the general. Now the general is trapped, just like a father and brother in trouble. How can we sit and watch?"

"Gayan is willing to help the National Guard break through, who else is willing to go with him!"

The messengers and the whistling spring breeze in the fields spread Gaiyan's voice throughout the Yuyang cavalry. These cavalry were half soldiers and half bandits, but they also loved the real man's generous and tragic songs and were grateful to repay kindness. Although Ma Yuan was born with a noble background, his temperament was even more pleasing to them than Wu Han...

For a moment, the soldiers of Yuyang Chuqi were all angry. Although they were not as exaggerated as being angry, the ring swords they raised high undoubtedly showed their attitude!

"I wish to follow the general to go to the deep stream!"

Unlike Longyou Tuqi, Yuyang Tuqi is actually better at riding and shooting, and often calls the knights "string controller". However, today, Gai Yan did not intend to delay and directly ordered Yuyang Tuqi to line up the assault array, then urged the horses to approach the messy camp of the Red Eyebrow Army.

The four 10,000 battalions of the Red Eyebrow Army surrounded Ma Yuan's troops, but after the friendly forces were "mobilized" by Zhang Zong, the array of these left-behind people looked so thin! They were not even as dense as the forest beside their base.

It is no secret that the Yuyang cavalry swam near the battlefield. The Red Eyebrow Army has spent a lot of effort to guard against them. Unfortunately, the Red Eyebrows mostly fought in the Central Plains, and there were too few battles with established cavalrymen.

The ravines are not dug wide enough, and the thunder cavalry can easily cross; the deer antlers are not tied tight enough, so you can just walk around a few more steps; the chariots? There is no such thing as a volley. How can you expect the Red Eyebrow, which is not even a strong battalion, to use various formations flexibly? In Gaiyan's view, most of them win by chaotic victory, but the thunder cavalry defeats the chaotic army! Even though the Red Eyebrows are the number of people, as long as he breaks through, Ma Yuan can break through.

It was discovered that they were not only the Red Eyebrow Army that rushed to fight, but also the Ma Yuan army trapped between the two hills. Soon, a thick smoke rose slowly from the top of the hills.

"It's Ma Guowei who is raising the bell." Gai Yan, who was about to issue an offensive order, stopped his movements.

His family lives in Yaoyang County outside Yuyang Pass. It is very common for beacon towers to enter and exit the border, and it is not unfamiliar with Gai Yanzi.

Since the Han Dynasty, there have been five signals of beacons, beacons, smoke, charcoal fire, and firewood. Beacons are cages covered with straw weaving or wooden frames; the surface is cloth flag; smoke is smoke columns rising from smoke stoves and high stacks; these three are used during the day. Frail fire is used at night, igniting reed bunches; firewood is a huge haystack, used both day and night, burning during the day to see its thick smoke, and at night there are raging fires.

It can not only convey the situation of the war, but also tell the number of Hu people who are approaching beacon towers, and can identify up to tens of thousands of people.

The fifth reunion deserves to be a member of the frontier. Now this set of flexible applications is combined into a more complex "smoke language and flag language" and compiled into a booklet to transmit ordinary troops signals. After all, intelligence is everything on the battlefield!

It was just that Ma Yuan was trapped in a hurry and some of the carts were taken away. This signal was not fully released, but the general meaning could still be expressed.

Gai Yan had good eyesight and stared at the signal on the hill: "The smoke is black, it is because of adding water to the accumulated firewood, and deliberately breaking the fire, so that the smoke column will be separated and closed at the same time. This is the clutch smoke."

This kind of "clear smoke" means "danger, don't get close", agree with Mingjin!

"This is a warning to us!"

Gai Yan immediately set his sights on the large forest near the Red Eyebrow Camp. The crows that had just eaten were hovering above them. Even if they fell occasionally, they immediately flew up!

...

At the same time, Ma Yuan also looked down on the hill. Gai Yan could not see the arrangement clearly, but they could.

The densely packed together in the forest was not a monkey, but a red eyebrows!

"What a great giant Fan."

Ma Yuan was amazed. Fan Chong used seven or eight thousand people of the Red Eyebrow as ten thousand. Anyway, they were so chaotic that it was difficult to count the number of people when they marched, which successfully misled Gai Yan.

Secretly, another 20,000 elite troops were pulled into the woods to prevent the Wei cavalry from attacking - Fan Chong wanted to design the Yuyang Rising Cavalry, which could determine the outcome of the war, to annihilate it in one fell swoop!

"Fortunately, Juqing has seen my beacon, and Fan Chong's plan has failed."

After Ma Yuan figured out the situation, he stayed in the siege with peace of mind. Chimei trapped him, and he also dragged Chimei. Just wait for His Majesty the Emperor to arrive at the battlefield with his main force, everything will be...

At this moment, the person next to him exclaimed: "General, are you blind in Yuyang's sudden cavalry? Why did you still rush?"

Ma Yuan was shocked and looked at him again, but he saw that Gai Yan, who clearly understood his signal, still took Yuyang cavalry and launched an attack on the Red Eyebrow Army without hesitation!

More than 10,000 horse hooves began to accelerate. The Yuyang Tuks' tactical actions were not as standard as the newly-edited Bingzhou cavalry, but they were already the best cavalry in the Han Dynasty. More than 2,000 knights either led bows and arrows, or swung their swords with spears, aimed at the weakest east side, and rushed over.

The sound of horse hooves that shocked the earth was like the sound of rumbling on the turbulent sound of the sound of the generous feathers on the banks of Yishui two hundred years ago!

"The wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold, and the hero will never return once he leaves!"
