Soon, the scouts of the Xiliang army rushed to Fan Chou, the scout captain sacked and quickly stepped forward and said: "General, the enemy has been found ahead."

When Fan Chou heard this, he was energetic, and asked quickly: "Where, how far away, and how many enemy troops?"

"Return to the general, five miles ahead, the enemy is waiting in full battle. The final observation is that there are at least four to fifty thousand troops, basically all infantry, and no cavalry is seen." The scout captain replied;

"Okay," Fan Chou slapped his thigh and said, "Fucking, it is considered to have caught these mice. Order the army to speed up and rest before the Sizhou army. Someone wants to see how tight the Sizhou army can be. He didn’t want to block Ding Xiliang’s iron ride this time."

With an order from the Chinese army, the 20,000 cavalrymen accelerated again, like a billowing torrent rushing forward.

Time went back to an hour ago.

Huangfu Chaobo looked at the soldiers next to him with a tired face, and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart. Looking at this situation, it would be difficult to get to Gengxiang today. According to the news that the hundreds of sudden cavalry returned last returned, Xiliang Iron Cavalry It should be only twenty or thirty miles away from his army.

At the speed of the cavalry, the distance of twenty to thirty miles would be less than an hour, but now there are more than ten miles away from Gengxiang, and his pawns still need to approach an hour. There was still a battle with the cavalry, but now it was on level ground, and there was no defensive advantage at all.

At this moment, He Ruolong hurriedly walked over and said: "General, the Golden Eagle discovered that there are a large group of cavalry behind us, about 30,000 to 40,000 horses, less than forty miles away from us."

"Well, thirty or forty thousand riders?" Huangfu said, "How come there are so many?"

"It shouldn't be wrong," Zhao Yun said: "Dong Zhuojun has 20,000 cavalry. On the basis of one man and two horses, there are 40,000 horses. The golden eagles can only see the approximate number. Finally, it is estimated that Xu Rong should be sent first. The cavalry came to entangle my army, so it should be one man and two horses."

When Huangfu listened to it, he knew that Zhao Yun's conjecture should be accurate, but even the 20,000 cavalrymen could not be resisted by his more than 40,000 infantrymen. However, fortunately, all the wounded soldiers and Minzhuang craftsmen have been sent back to Gengxiang by horses. Now more than 40,000 soldiers and horses are combatable soldiers, but after a night and day march, they are already very good. Tired.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo asked: "Is there any terrain around here that can resist the cavalry?"

A Cavalry Duwei who had escorted wounded soldiers twice said: "Return to the general, less than five miles north from here, you have to pass a mountain pass, seven or eight miles from the mountain pass to reach Gengxiang, this pass It should be the best place to defend. The pass is about two miles wide, and there are ridges several feet high on both sides."

When everyone heard it, it could only be so now. Huangfu Chaobo said: "He Ruolong, let the Golden Eagle expand the search range and figure out the situation of Dong Zhuojun and the follow-up soldiers and horses of the Hedong Army, Zhao Yun, you are still responsible for the next war."

"Yes!" the two agreed in unison;

Zhao Yun got up and gave an order: "The cavalry battalion rested for a quarter of an hour, and then went out five miles, ready to intercept the enemy cavalry, the infantry speeded up, rushed to the pass for defense, ready to face the battle, we are tired, the enemy is also tired. For this battle, I will be able to return to Luoyang."

As soon as this statement was made, the morale of the army immediately rose. Yes, after this battle, we can return to Luoyang. Next time, we will come back to avenge Zepao.

Seeing this situation, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly remembered a phrase-"Don't hide from the teacher, don't chase the poor!"

For a time, more than 40,000 infantrymen speeded up their pace and walked towards the destination. After half an hour, the army finally rushed to the mountain pass mentioned by the Cavalry Duwei. Zhao Yun looked at it, and sure enough, the terrain was undulating on both sides. They are all several feet high mountain beams, with strange rocks on the top, which are not suitable for cavalry operations. In the middle of the two mountain beams is a mountain road about two kilometers wide. It is indeed an ideal place for the army to fortify here.

Following Zhao Yun's order, the army quickly arranged. According to Zhao Yun's arrangement, the army was divided into two parts. One part quickly deployed defenses, while the other part took time to rest and eat. After half an hour, if the chasing troops hadn't arrived, the two parts would be replaced.

Fortunately, most of the soldiers and horses have never discarded the carts used to transport food by the camels, and now it just happens to come in handy. With these trucks lined up in several rows in front, it is enough to build several rows of horse-riding walls. In addition, Zhao Yun made people put some debris and stones in the middle of the road to make obstacles, so in less than half an hour, the defense was basically ready.

At this moment, He Ruolong reported that most of the cavalry was less than ten miles away from here. Zhao Yun saw that the defense was ready, so he immediately ordered the cavalry to retreat and gave the front to Dong Zhuo's cavalry. At this time, most of Dong Zhuojun's and Jiang Pei's infantry were nearly fifty miles away from here. When they arrived here, it was probably tomorrow.

A quarter of an hour later, Hu Yandu led less than eight thousand cavalry back to the front of the formation, and smoothly withdrew into the formation along the pre-prepared passage. Then, after a short while, I heard the sound of horses hooves.

Everyone looked up, only to see a huge cloud of smoke rising from a few miles away, and soon saw the overwhelming cavalry pounce toward the square position.

The sound of horseshoes stopped two miles away. Among the cavalrymen, Fan Chou looked at the large array two miles away with a constipated expression. The Sizhou Army has changed from someone, walking hundreds of miles with tens of thousands of wounded soldiers day and night, and can also form such a tight defensive formation.

However, now that he has reached this point, even Fan Chou is ready to charge, otherwise, he really doesn't know how to confess to Xu Rong.

After the army took a rest, Fan Chou and Jiang Jian said, "General Jiang, the next step is to look at your Hedong Cavalry. Don't worry, as long as you rush to the Sizhou Army's cart, the rest will be left to our Xiliang Iron Cavalry."

Jiang Jian was taken aback, and was about to speak, but he was blocked by Fan Chou's words: "General Jiang, we are here to help you. We can't help the guests. Your host is watching. Let's talk about it..."

After a short pause, Fan Chou pointed towards Jiang Jianshen and said disdainfully: "If you don't hand these things to the cavalry behind you, can I still make Xiliang cavalry go?" In the words, Fan Chou also specifically emphasized "Cavalry", the contempt in the tone can be heard by anyone.
