I didn’t come back from the company meeting at noon today, and I came back very late in the evening, which delayed everyone’s reading of the article~~ Two updates will be sent~~

Seeing the hundreds of cavalry getting closer and closer, Su You did not order the soldiers to attack. This cavalry was obviously just an outpost, and there must be a large group of Bingzhou troops behind it. I understand that these more than a hundred cavalry could not put any pressure on Zhou Cang.
Seeing the cavalry running so fast, the infantry behind must have been away for a long time, so Su You found a valley with dangerous terrain in the mountains along the road, cut down trees, built antlers, stopped horses and other simple defenses, and sent another man to climb
Go up the hillsides on both sides and collect rolling logs and rocks for emergencies.
Sure enough, until it was getting late, another group of Bingzhou troops arrived from the north. This army had nearly a thousand people, a mixture of infantry and cavalry, and most of them were cavalry.
Hao Zhao was clearly in the formation. Ever since he discovered the clues left by the Julu Army that day, he led a group of soldiers to chase south. Since he didn't need to sleep day and night like the Julu Army, he had to pay attention to concealment. In the past three days,
Finally he got closer and closer!
This morning, he suddenly received news of a horse expedition ahead. Traces of the Julu Army were found more than 20 miles ahead. Judging from the size, there were about a thousand people.
After receiving this news, Hao Zhao immediately ordered more than a hundred cavalry under his command to catch up with him at full speed. He did not seek to kill the enemy, but just wanted to cling to this enemy!
Then he ordered people to quickly report the news to the army of 2,500 people behind him. As soon as Wang De, the commander of the army, heard the news, he immediately led more than 800 people on Pegasus and came with a large infantry group of 30 behind him.
Yuli.
After running for half a day, these eight hundred light cavalry finally caught up with Hao Zhao's four hundred infantry in the afternoon. The two joined forces and headed south in a hurry.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the Bingzhou Army began to look for a place to camp along the road. Hao Zhao suddenly discovered that there was a half-high canyon in front of him. The terrain was gentle and steep along the mountain road, and there were extremely steep slopes of tens of meters on both sides. As the sky was getting dark, there was another canyon ahead.
It can no longer be seen clearly from a distance.
"What a dangerous terrain!" Hao Zhaole dismounted and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Since he had discovered the enemy, the enemy might not have discovered him. He was probably already prepared at this time, so he had been cautious on the march.
.
Seeing such a dangerous terrain suddenly at this time, Hao Zhao naturally did not dare to be careless. He had personally experienced the power of the armored army with black tassels on their heads. He only had more than 1,200 people on his side now. If he faced this army, he would not dare to be careless.
The Julu Army was like the Xuanying Armored Army that he had encountered before, and it was impossible to get away with it. The thought of the seven-foot-long sharp sword and the astonishing physical strength of the black-faced man would make Hao Zhao tremble with fear.
Hao Zhao was about to send someone to the outpost to investigate. Wang Dece, a captain in his thirties, immediately stepped forward, glanced sideways at Hao Zhao, pointed the tip of his whip forward, and asked dissatisfiedly: "It's getting late, why did Captain Hao hesitate to advance?"
?”
Hao Zhao bowed respectfully and said: "Reporting to Sir Xiaowei, the general is aware of the dangers ahead and is afraid of an ambush, so he ordered someone to go and scout."
"Hmph!" Wang De snorted heavily. He didn't like the yellow-mouthed boy of seventeen or eighteen years old in front of him.
Since receiving the news this morning, he has led his eight hundred light cavalry for more than thirty miles non-stop. You must know that this is a mountain road. Even though the Bingzhou cavalry is good at riding, Wang De feels indescribable all over his body.
of tiredness.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang De looked around to see if there was any open space suitable for camping, so that he could set up camp and rest early. He didn't expect that this young boy who had just become a senior would pretend to be serious in front of him!
"Why is Chang Hao so suspicious? The enemy soldiers have come thousands of miles away, and the advantage is to fight quickly. They are eager to attack Huguan, but they can't do it. How can they stop our army here? The army continues on its way and quickly passes through the valley here!"
Although Hao Zhao was bold and careful, he was still a young man who had never experienced officialdom. Seeing Wang De disapproving of it, he became angry and insisted on admonishing: "Master Xiaowei! I have studied military books since I was a child. Soldiers are also deceitful and thieves."
If the army learns the news about our army, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not lead troops to block the attack. In the end, it is better to be cautious."
Wang De's eyes widened and he thought to himself: "You don't even know who you are. It's just that you are bigger and you are favored by the governor. Now that you have just been promoted to a music director, you are so ignorant. If you are promoted to a school in the future,
Lieutenant, why don't you ride on my head?" As soon as he thought about this, he shouted:
"How presumptuous! What do you know about the art of war as a young boy? I have been in charge of the army for more than ten years. Is it possible that my experience is not as good as yours? Just march on quickly. If you say more, don't blame me for punishing you for deceiving the troops!"
A trace of anger flashed in Hao Zhao's eyes, but after all, it was hard to disobey orders, so he bowed and responded: "General... I obey!"
Wang De snorted disdainfully and urged his men to move on.
Hao Zhao also ordered his men to set off, but as he walked further, he saw the dry branches on the mountain walls on both sides like monsters with teeth and claws. Hao Zhao felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on his chest, and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe! He couldn't help but
Hao Zhao slowed down his pace, and his infantry gradually fell behind.
Wang De was riding on a horse, looking at the narrow mountain road, with two or four horses walking side by side, withered trees and rugged rocks on the steep slopes covering half of the sky on both sides. He couldn't help but feel timid. He was encountering the soldiers under his command.
Speeding forward, suddenly there was a noise from the front army, and the sound came back.
"Lord Captain, it's bad! Enemy troops are found in front!"
"What?" Wang De's expression changed. He looked at the terrain around him and recalled Hao Zhao's words. He couldn't help but sweat. He quickly turned his horse's head and shouted: "Back up! Back up!"
There was a moment of confusion among the more than 800 riders lined up in a line. There was a sudden burst of people on both sides of the slope. Countless figures appeared on the slopes on both sides. Then, nearly a hundred huge stones suddenly rolled down from the top of the slope!
I saw hundreds of kilograms of boulders rolling down the slope, and the earth and rocks came down, making a rumbling sound! It was like thousands of horses galloping, and it actually covered up the noise of people and horses in the valley!
There was a pop! Following the mournful neighing of a war horse, a soldier and his horse were hit by a rolling boulder. The strong war horse was crushed by its two front legs and flew three meters away on the spot! That
The huge boulder kept its momentum and rolled over the horse's belly again! It plowed out a bloody hole. The cavalry on the horse were not spared. They were crushed by the huge boulder and died from it without even letting out a scream.
Deadly pressed to the ground!
Faced with such a situation, many people were dumbfounded on the spot! They simply forgot to dodge! Hundreds of people and horses were hit by boulders, and even the people and horses were smashed into pulp! Wang De's face turned pale and he was beaten.
The horses retreated toward the road they came from, but the valley road was too narrow and eight hundred horsemen trampled on each other. How could they rush out?
