When the forest fire broke out, Yang Anyuan led more than a thousand people to lurk in the mountain col five miles east.

Luring the enemy deep, dividing and annihilating them was the strategy everyone discussed. The reconnaissance cavalry soon reported the news. The Qin army was divided into two groups. One was led into the mountains by General Yang, and the other was left to guard the horses.

Yang Anyuan's heart was filled with thousands of war horses. He and Yang Anxuan agreed to split the spoils in half.

Since the formation of the army, the overt and covert fighting between Anyuan Camp and Anxuan Camp has never stopped. Although the leader of Anxuan Camp, Yang Anxuan, is not around, he still has the upper hand.

The gap mainly came from the lack of funds. Yang Anyuan knew that the dividends from his third brother's business in the Yin family were continuously sent to Anxuan Camp, which was converted into food and supplies for the soldiers.

Everyone in Mengjinguan knew that the food in Anxuan Camp was the best, and even his third uncle would find excuses to go to Anxuan Camp from time to time for a toothpaste ceremony.

Yang Anyuan originally scorned those weird training methods. Later, after several skill comparisons, he found that the overall quality of Anxuan camp's soldiers exceeded those of Anyuan's army, so he let Anyuan's army secretly follow suit.

The third brother went to Jiankang and became the attendant of the East Palace. Yang Anyuan gave up his desire to compete after receiving his mother's letter.

Later, Yang Anxuan went to Jingkou, where he was promoted to General Fubo for his meritorious service in quelling Wang Yan's rebellion. He then won a battle with the Beifu Army and led 3,000 Beifu Army to rescue Luoyang.

After learning the news from his third uncle, Yang Anyuan was in a daze. Is this still the third uncle he was familiar with?

However, Yang Anyuan is not discouraged. The third brother is very lucky. If he gets the opportunity, he will not let him be the best.

Looking at the soldiers around me, there were more than 700 people in the Anyuan Army plus the Anxuan Army. The Yan and Pei tribes had 1,500 people. More than 2,000 people were facing the 500 Qin Army guarding the horses. It should be There is a possibility of winning.

"Ming Hu, Yu Ling Yan and Pei's two tribes will charge for a while to attract the attention of the defenders. You will lead the Anyuan army to wait for the opportunity to seize the war horses." Yang Anyuan explained.

Cen Minghu responded in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Anyuan."

I have been with Yang Anyuan day and night for more than three years. The two have become like brothers and work together well.

Cen Minghu led 700 Jin troops to take a detour and left. Yang Anyuan discussed with Yan Ke and Pei Qiang for a while, and divided the 1,500 people into two groups. Yang Anyuan and Yan Ke led the Yan family's tribe to pretend to attack, and Pei Qiang led the Pei family's tribe in An ambush was set up on a low mountain two miles away.

Compared with the Jin army, the equipment of the two tribes was far inferior. There was very little leather armor, there were only about fifty bows, and each person could not carry even one sword or gun.

Inspired by the spear throwing team of An Xuan Army, Yang Anyuan had people cut down a lot of bamboo, sharpen the front end, and fill it with throwing spears.

After the arrangements were made, Yang Anyuan marched with the Yan family's troops in a frantic manner, alerting the Qin army guarding the horses.

Gai Wei, the general of the Qin army who stayed behind, saw that the oncoming troops and horses were not in formation, and even the weapons were in a mess. He laughed and said: "These refugees who escaped are really not afraid of death, and they actually dare to attack the army. A hundred people were left to guard the horses, and the other sons followed. I will chop off their heads and build a temple in Beijing."

The Qin army raised their sabers and screamed "Ao Ao", urging their mounts as if they were hunting in a pasture. Yang Anxuan asked his men to throw out their bamboo spears, then turned around and fled with the others.

The Qin army's horses were fast, and Gai Wei rushed to the front. He stretched out his sword, leaned down slightly, and lightly cut off a human head. Screams rang out everywhere, and in an instant, dozens of people died under Qin Qi's sword.

Yang Anyuan rode his horse slowly. Seeing Qin riding fiercely, he spun the horse's head and rushed towards Gai Wei, and the horse spear stabbed Gai Wei.

Gai Wei's eyes narrowed, and he pushed the bloody sword against the pole, pushing the horse's pole away.

Yang Anyuan was not fond of fighting. He walked while fighting, and in a moment he came to the hillside where Pei Qiang and his men had set up an ambush.

The bamboo spears were thrown overwhelmingly, frightening the Qin army to rein in their horses. Some of them were unable to dodge, and their horses were injured by the bamboo spears, making them neigh.

After retreating more than ten feet away, Gai Wei looked intently at the hill. There were still some refugees in messy clothes. Gai Wei sneered and said: "It's such a big Beijing. Kill me, gentlemen!"

Qin Qi dispersed and headed towards the low hillock. Gai Wei saw the panic on the faces of the refugees and became more and more confident.

Still seven or eight feet away, Yang Anyuan waved his hand, and two hundred Anyuan troops emerged from behind the refugees, each holding a bow and arrow, and a rain of arrows rose into the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Gai Weisun saw that all of these bow-wielding men were wearing leather armor, and secretly thought that these people must be Jin troops who were ambushed.

"Retreat." Gai Wei used his sword to deal with the rain of arrows. The war horses did not dare to turn around and went backwards down the mountain slowly. Many soldiers and war horses were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.

After finally retreating to the foot of the mountain, Gai Wei saw that the Jin army did not pursue it, but was restless on the top of the mountain, and decided to attack again.

Gaiwei and two hundred light cavalry dismounted and held shields, and slowly advanced towards the hill.

The rain of arrows was blocked outside the shield wall, Gai Wei felt a little relieved. It seemed that these Jin troops were only capable of this.

Immediately afterwards, stones rained down, forcing Gai Wei to retreat more than ten feet to temporarily avoid the attack.

Five miles away, Cen Minghu had circled behind the Qin army, and hundreds of war horses were guarded by hundreds of Qin soldiers.

Only a hundred steps away, Cen Minghu rushed over with his men, and Qin Qi all mounted their horses to meet the enemy.

Dancing with a long sword, Cen Minghu was unstoppable and slashed three people in succession. An Yuan's army and An Xuan's army were powerful. With more troops fighting, Qin's cavalry fell off their horses and were killed. Many Qingqi saw that something was not going well and turned their horses to flee. battlefield.

Cen Minghu did not pursue him, but ordered: "Those who know how to ride a horse must get on their horses quickly and follow Yu to assist General Yang."

An Xuan Army has dozens of horses, and they practice riding skills on weekdays. Most of them can ride horses. There are not many soldiers in the Anyuan Army who can ride horses. They have 2670 people. Cen Minghu asked others to collect the horses, and he took the horse with him. The soldiers on horseback rushed towards Gaifu to kill him.

Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him, Gai Fu thought it was the soldiers he had left to guard the horses to come to his rescue. But when he saw that the knight was wearing Jin-made leather armor, he was frightened out of his wits.

Being ambushed by the Jin army and attacked from both sides, Gai Wei and his men rushed down from the middle of the mountain. Yang Anyuan turned his head, raised his horse high and shouted: "Chase the enemy."

The Yan and Pei tribes followed Yang Anyuan and killed the Qin army. These days, they heard and saw their family members, tribesmen, and villagers being killed by the Qin army. They were all filled with resentment. With the charging pace and screams, they Sounds, waving spears vented.

Gai Wei mounted his horse and brandished his sword to fight Cen Minghu. In panic and anger, he was cut off his horse as soon as he met him.

The general was killed and enemies were in front and behind. The other Qin cavalry were in chaos and did not dare to fight. They galloped away one after another.

…………

Shi Zhen fought and retreated, leaving dozens of lives in the mountains, and finally escaped.

He was about to mount his horse and fight again, but his eyes turned into a pot of porridge. Countless Jin troops and refugees were chasing Qin Qi, and none of the horses could be found.

Shi Zhen's scalp exploded. He was ambushed by the Jin army. If he didn't escape, he might not even be able to save his life.

As he ran away, a small group of Qin troops discovered him and galloped forward to free up their horses for him to ride on. Shi Zhen asked people to set up a big flag. Qin Qi, who was fleeing, saw the flag and gradually came to join them.

Yang Anxuan and Yang Anyuan joined forces and saw more than 500 war horses, and they hurriedly let the soldiers who could ride horses ride them.

More than five hundred light cavalry lined up, Yang Anxuan said to Yang Anyuan: "Second brother, I want to get some more benefits."

Yang Anyuan said energetically: "Kill the enemy."

More than five hundred cavalry gathered together, their hooves sounded like thunder, and rushed towards Qin Qi, who was two miles away.

Shi Zhen was counting the number of people, and there were only more than 300 people who returned to the team. The others did not know whether they died or fled.

Hearing the sound of hoofbeats coming, Shi Zhen did not dare to fight and sent an order: "Go back to Yanshi City."

After chasing for five or six miles, the Qin army may come to reinforce at any time. Yang Anxuan ordered more than 500 robbed horses, more than 20 captured Qin soldiers, and the leather armor peeled off from the corpses to disappear into the mountains. among.

In Yanshi City, Shi Zhen came to see Yao Chong dejectedly. Yao Chong was furious when he learned that he had lost more than 500 horses and suffered more than 300 casualties. He ordered Shi Zhen to be tied to a pillar outside the lobby and whipped him forty times with his own hands.

Mu Ping said worriedly: "Mr. Qi, according to what Shi Zhen said, this group of Jin troops numbered at least a thousand and were powerful, not inferior to our army. The Jin people captured more than 500 war horses, and there were more than a thousand refugees to help them." , familiar with the terrain, it becomes increasingly difficult to guard against attacks. Qi Gong, the nights are long and there are many dreams, I am afraid that we cannot stay in Yanshi City for a long time."

In the past ten days or so, 100,000 people have gathered outside Yanshi City, and fewer and fewer Jin people have been driven in.

Yao Chong nodded and said: "Give me the order and we will set off at Maozheng tomorrow to return to Luoyang City."

The Yanshi County Yamen was brightly lit, and Pei Bo and Yan An were invited into the lobby to discuss matters.

Yao Chong sat in the middle with a cold face, and the shadow of his high nose hung at the corner of his mouth under the light, making him look even more cold.

When Pei Bo and Yan An stood up behind everyone with anxiety, Yao Chong said: "Pei Gong and Yan Gong, please inform me overnight that the army will set off for Luoyang City at Mao tomorrow."

"Qi Gong, it's too hasty," Yan An exclaimed, "the people have no time to pack their things."

Pei Bo said sadly: "Qi Gong is very kind. If you wait for two more days, I will definitely let everyone set off with the army. If we leave tomorrow, we really can't win."

"Military orders are like mountains and cannot be changed. If anyone disobeys, he will be killed without mercy." Yao Chong said coldly: "Those who can leave tomorrow will leave, and those who cannot leave will be killed."

Pei Bo and Yan An stumbled out of Yanshi City with pale faces, gathering their clansmen to arrange their departure overnight.

Outside Yanshi City, complaints were everywhere and cries were loud. Pei Bo and Yan An were sitting on pins and needles in their tents.

In the county government hall, Army Commander Ma Muping conveyed the military order, "... Xiaolong leads 200 light cavalry and 2,000 soldiers to advance first. Gao Ye, Lu Hui, Feng Lin, and Murong Sen each lead 100 light cavalry and 1,000 soldiers. To escort the Jin people, Yu and Duke Qi led two thousand light cavalry in the rear."

Shi Zhen huddled at the end of the hall. When he heard that Sima Chuan was not there, he quickly said loudly: "Qi Gong, I am willing to make atonement for my sins and lead the reconnaissance cavalry to find the whereabouts of the Jin army."

Yao Chong ignored him and warned: "The Jin army has about a thousand people, and there are more than a thousand refugees who are coveting it. We should not take it lightly."

Yao Xing liked Confucianism, and Yao Chong also studied scriptures with some Han Confucian scholars, and two sentences would come up from time to time.

Lu Hui and Shi Zhen were good friends. Seeing that Shi Zhen was being idle by Yao Chong, he said: "Qi Gong, Shi Zhen has fought with the Jin people and knows that the Jin army is weak and weak. It is the time to recruit people. Why not let him roam back and forth, looking for Jin people?" military."

To be honest, Yao Chong still likes Shi Zhen very much. Shi Zhen has followed him for many years. He dares to charge and kill on the battlefield. His temper is a bit reckless, but he is easy to use.

He originally wanted to wait for a while before using it, but since Lu Hui interceded for him, Yao Chong followed suit and said, "Shi Zhen was demoted to captain, and 200 Qingqi and the remaining 1,000 soldiers and horses were allocated from the rear army to look for Jin. In the army, you should be punished for your crime and make meritorious service."

After glaring at Shi Zhen who was beaming with joy, Yao Chong cursed: "If there are any more omissions, you can let your horses go to the Hetao."

Shi Zhen grinned and agreed.

Being demoted to captain is nothing. The last time he massacred a village in Hongnong County, he was demoted to captain. However, he made meritorious service during the attack on Shangluo and was promoted back again. As long as there is a war, he will soon become a general again.
