The son of Yuan Shao who traveled through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 216

The forward army continued to move forward. Ten days later, Zhang Yun arrived in Hechi County in Yujin.The terrain here made the two gasp.Hechi County is located in the area sandwiched between the Tielong Mountain and the remaining lines of the Qinling Mountains, and is generally long and narrow.The city tower is surrounded by towering mountains on both sides, and on the mountains is a dense virgin forest.There are rugged mountain roads in the mountains that can bypass the county seat. The spies have already found out, but the road is not easy to walk.

That is much stronger than siege.Yu Jin Zhang He decisively commanded the troops, walked around the fork at the foot of the mountain, crossed the river pool and went straight to Xiabian.

The army advanced slowly on the mountain road, and the bushes and thorns on both sides were like two walls, extending in parallel.Zhang Yun suddenly looked at each other at Jin; "Not good—" the two shouted at the same time, their hearts pounding; "Brother, there is only this steep mountain road around the river pool. We know that the Di people who have lived here for a long time know better How can Dou Xian not take precautions. If the enemy attacks with fire in such a narrow area, my life will be over."

Yu Jin said anxiously: "Hurry up, withdraw the army, withdraw the army." Before he finished speaking, countless rockets with screams flew out from the bushes, the thatch, and behind the rocks.A few cannons rang out, and countless birds fluttered into the sky from the bushes.The sound of shouting and killing was deafening.Liao Hua, who was in charge of the rear, saw the fire in front of him, and commanded a division to withdraw from the mountain road without saying a word.It's not getting cold feet. In this case, the more people there are, the more troublesome it will be.Maybe there are more people who trample on each other to death than those killed by the enemy.

The Di people are so poor at setting fire that they don't know the art of war at all.If the general of the Central Plains is ambushing here, he will definitely let the former army go and set fire in the middle.Or block back and forth.That's great, let's light the fire first.Only the former army led by Zhang He and Yu Jin was burned.Hu Che'er of the Chinese army also withdrew from the mountain road after Liao Hua, without any loss.

Zhang He and Yu Jinqian had an army of [-], surrounded by a raging fire, unable to advance or retreat.Arrows were shot out one by one in the raging fire and smoke, killing countless Yuan Bing who was in a panic.The bushes on both sides were like walls, and the burning fire was five or six feet high, shaking and trembling, and rushed towards the sky.The moment the strong wind picked up, it pounced on Yuan Jun's soldiers like tens of thousands of hungry tigers.Zhang He yelled at Jin: "Go from the back." Yu Jin also wanted to go from the back, but there were too many people, and the soldiers' eyes were so blinded that they couldn't see the way. Just can't escape.

Zhang He swung his sword and used the back of the sword to block Yuan Bing who was fighting among themselves.Urge the war horse and run backwards.Yu Jin followed this road and went out.Yuan Bing was frightened crazy by the raging fire, someone came to snatch the general's horse, and Zhang Yun beheaded three or four before he gave up this stupid idea.

Zhang He endured the thick smoke all the way, and kept yelling: "Follow me, follow me, follow me." It was a big miscalculation that the Di people did not arrange for robbery and killing in the rear team, otherwise Zhang He would not be so easy to ban Breakout.

Hundreds of war horses rushed out of the fire pit with billowing smoke, their helmets crooked and panting like cows.On some armors and battle skirts, there are still some flames.Hu Che'er had already led an army to cut off the rear, but he only waited outside the fire site, guarding the entrance of the mountain road to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation to rob and kill in two directions, but he didn't dare to approach the fire cave for half a step.For fear of causing cannibalism.

Zhang Xi jumped off the galloping horse, rolled on the ground, and was crushed, with more than a dozen flames on his body.A black mist with a burnt smell slowly rose.He slapped it a few times, and the kite turned over and stood up.Yu Jin also rushed out.The two were relatively speechless.It really capsized in the gutter.Because the enemy doesn't know how to attack with fire, they also cut themselves off from the fire, so there is no way to rob and kill.The loss of the former army was much smaller.Until dark, more than 5000 people escaped from the fire one after another.The other [-] or so were all burned into coke.

Once this kind of lush vegetation catches fire, it is difficult to extinguish it.The fire spread in all directions, burned the trees and wild flowers on both sides of the mountain road, and it took three days and three nights to calm down slowly.Hechi County has a radius of [-] miles, and the night is like day for several consecutive days.The flickering, flickering lights of the fire made the industrious old peasants go to sow autumn crops with their ox carts in the middle of the night.Both ditches and slopes were bright orange.The furrows can be seen clearly, and when weeding, you will never step on the seedlings.Three days later, black rain began to fall from the sky. Black firewood residues, floating in the void like snowflakes, fell to the ground and piled up, covering the feet.With a burnt smell that chokes the nasal membranes.

My brigade is only one day away from Yu Jin's vanguard.Yu Jin's battle report has already arrived——

"No, you have to pass here before the prime minister arrives. Otherwise, you won't be able to hang out with the Hebei Army." Zhang He was restlessly grinding around in the tent, like a hungry old wolf baring his teeth.

Yu Jin was lying on the table looking at the map, his slender face was expressionless, and his gaze made people feel that his state of mind at the moment was like an old monk in meditation, and the ancient well was calm.

"Don't worry, we will defeat the enemy today." Full of confidence, Yu Jin slapped the table.

Zhang He blushed and became anxious, turning his head and sighing, "Is there really a plan?" Yu Jin nodded and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you couldn't find Dou Mao's main force?" Zhang He scratched his head and said, "It's strange, slap In a big place, it’s impossible to fly like a dog.” Yu Jin said: “I know he’s there. You bastard, he’s right under our noses, so let’s come to ‘dark under the lamp’.” Zhang He said, “It’s dark under the lamp. ?You mean, Dou Mao's main force is still waiting for us on the burning road. "Yu Jin said; "The nearby mountains have been searched, and not even a soldier has been found.We always thought it was impossible for him to stay in the fire pit.Actually wrong.Dou Mao must have found a mountain pass that can avoid the fire, and set up camp there. When we come out of the mountain again, he will send surprise soldiers.Do you think it makes sense. "

Zhang He smiled and said: "It makes sense, damn Dou Mao, let's die this time." Yu Jin said: "Let's discuss how to enter the army—"

"It's better to lead the snake out of the hole!" Zhang He pressed one finger on the mountain road drawn as a blue line on the map.

"I'll go." Yu Jin understood what he meant.Zhang He said: "Dou Rong thought our army suffered heavy losses. Unexpectedly, we still had 8 or 5000 troops in our hands. We brought [-] people in, pretended to be defeated, led him out of the mountain road, and ambushed three groups of people at the intersection. By surprise, Dou Mao will definitely lose. undoubtedly."

Yu Jin repeated another sentence: "I'll go."

After clapping his hands, Zhang He said: "Brother is the commander of the army, don't move lightly, I'll go, you stay and set up an ambush."

"Alright—"

The night is as dark as paint, with no stars or moons.The sky turned upside down like the bottom of a black pot.

Zhang Yun raised five thousand soldiers and horses, lit torches, lined up in a line, and entered the mountain road with a clamor.The mountain road after the fire is no longer what it used to be.The lush green shrubs and dense thorns all disappeared, leaving only the dark, bare, ugly and ugly mountain ridges.The animals and birds in the forest were also burned to extinction.The surrounding air was dead and frozen, not even a single rustling sound could be heard.

Zhang He led cavalry.And selected, the best horse, the best knight.He had planned to escape from the beginning.After walking for about fifty or sixty miles, the soldiers heard the sound of gurgling water.Zhang He raised his hand and yelled: "Stop—" A spy rushed out with a torch without being ordered.Fifty feet away, he rode back quickly: "Report, general, there is a big river blocking the way ahead. The water willows are calm, but the river is very wide. It is about thirty feet."

It turned out that Dou Mao was hiding here!Zhang He sneered.You fucking want to wait for me to hit me halfway, so I won't be fooled. "It is not allowed to cross the river at night, and an order was issued to withdraw to Hechi County."

Dou Mao was indeed lying in ambush by the river.After lighting the fire, he gathered his troops on the other side of the river and waited for the remnants of Yuan Jun to cross the river.Finally the wait came.

Dou Mao divided the army into two groups, one on the east bank and the other on the west bank.Those on the east bank waited for halfway to attack.On the west bank, when the enemy was attacked and retreated in a hurry, they intercepted and fought from behind the enemy, and cut the weeds and roots.

He never expected that Zhang He would not dare to cross the river, and return Yuan Jun's famous general, shit.

As soon as Zhang He said to retreat, Dou Mao immediately became angry.He shouted: "Warriors, kill, avenge the second prince, kill, kill the Han dog." Zhang Yun was overjoyed, and he was really fooled.Order the Chinese army to blow the horn, the rear team becomes the front team, cut off the rear by himself, and run back to the way he came.Dou Mao could speak Chinese, and his war horse stood out from the darkness, shouting loudly: "You man, give back my brother's life." He came up and killed him with a hammer in his hand.The former army fled vigorously under the leadership of deputy general Zhang Kai, and did not confront him at all.Zhang He led a thousand cavalrymen to contact the Di people.After slashing for a while, he turned around and lost.Dou Mao beheaded five Yuan soldiers with his own hands, and laughed happily: "The Han army is so cowardly, my brother's revenge can be avenged. Kill."

Ordering out like a mountain, the Diren cavalry ambushed on the west bank, surpassed Dou Mao, and followed Zhang He.Although Zhang Yun personally cut off the queen, there were still Yuan Bing left behind. The Di people resented Dou Rong's death, and they mercilessly shot, and did not give a chance to surrender to avoid death.Going up is just a knife, and the head is taken away.Zhang He ran for a while, then turned around and fought Dou Mao, who was closely chasing him with a sledgehammer in his hand.Seeing that he had few soldiers, Dou Mao originally looked down on him, but now he was provoked and furious.Desperately chase down.

Seeing that the mountain road was about to end, Zhang He sneered and turned around to fight again.With a single blow, Dou Mao's helmet baby was eliminated.Dou Mao almost died, and rolled his eyes angrily: "Han dog, watch me capture you back alive. Skin your skin and cramps." Two sledgehammers collided with each other to increase momentum.Zhang He looked at him like an idiot.Zhang He turned around and ran again, pulling the rein with his right arm, and the horse went north along the exit of the mountain road.Dou Mao chased madly, and the horse had a good time, and followed him out.

Suddenly, in all directions, war drums sounded.The shrill sound of the horn resounded through the night sky.

Hu Che'er came from the middle and cut Di Ren into two parts.Yu Jin personally led his men to kill them from the road ahead, and Zhang Yun also turned his horse's head to kill him back.Dou Mao was dumbfounded when he saw it, and immediately shouted: "The Han people are really treacherous, too treacherous." In anger, he didn't want to run away, but came to fight Yu Jin with a hammer.Di Ren's front team lost contact with the rear team, only the shouts shook Shanyue, and the screams continued, but they could not hear Dou Mao's command.The back team was momentarily at a loss.At this time, thousands of infantry sprang out of the trenches on the mountain road, and silently and ghostly circled behind the Di people, and burst into a cry of killing.The Di people in the rear team were at a loss, and several of them were so frightened that they fell off their horses and died.After waking up, he had no intention of fighting, so he drove his horses and fled in all directions.

Yu Jin fought against Dou Mao, and found that his martial arts were far behind his dead brother Dou Rong.After twenty rounds, I was so tired that I was out of breath.Yu Jin took advantage of the moment when the big knife deflected the hammer, the handle of the knife swung around, and slammed vigorously on the breastplate on Dou Mao's chest.Dou Mao let out a strange cry, his heart seemed to be shattered, he spat out blood, and fell off his horse.The soldiers behind Yu Jin rushed forward.Yu Jin yelled; "Catch the living ones, catch the living ones—" The knives of several soldiers were about to fall on Dou Mao's thick and short neck, and they were withdrawn abruptly.He was punched and kicked, and passed out.Tied and dragged into the rear army.

Yu Jin yelled loudly: "Your great king has been captured by me, if you don't surrender, when will you wait?"

No one dumped him.It's not that the Di people don't care about the king's life, but that they can't understand the language of the Han people.Yu Jin also doesn't know foreign languages, so he has no choice but to type in a daze.The battle didn't end until the last Di person fell.Although it was an ambush, Yuan Jun's strength was still higher than that of the Di people, but the loss was not small. The Di people are too tenacious. If you give him a breath, cut off all his limbs, he will find opportunities to bite your feet a mouthful.If you bite it, you won't let it go.

Dou Mao was escorted to the commander's account.Yu Jin saw that he was definitely Dou Rong's elder brother.The two look alike.Dou Mao's wine jar is bigger than his younger brother.He was only as tall as Yu Jin's shoulders, his face was full of flesh, and his cheek muscles were constantly beating when he curled his lips.The beards on the chin are independent, as thick as iron brushes.

The great general Yu Jin looked a little bit numb.Coughing, smiling, came to untie Dou Mao: "Your Majesty, you've been wronged, don't be offended, the battlefield—" Dou Mao howled like a beast, his whole body was shaking, and he bit Yu Jin's neck.Yu Jin dodged sharply, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't want to untie? Shall we make friends?" Dou Rong roared, "Who is your friend, dead dog, you killed my brother, this king and you The situation is irreconcilable." Yu Jin said: "Your Majesty only cares about your brothers, but you don't want to think about your people. You still have hundreds of thousands of subordinates to take care of. If they die, who will they rely on? Armed with millions of soldiers and thousands of warriors, they went to Hanzhong to fight against the traitor Zhang Lu under the imperial decree. Your Majesty, why did you come out to make a move? Take the blood of the Di people to fight for others. Is it worth it? If you tell me what benefits Zhang Lu has given you, the prime minister can double it."
