.Zhang He waved his hand to signal the cavalry to stop chasing, and the remaining three thousand Hefei City infantry took the opportunity to escape from the battlefield and hid behind the more than a thousand cavalry led by Liu Laozhi.

Zhang He shouted loudly: "Do you think I have killed fewer people today, so come and die?"

Liu Laozhi laughed and said, "I have seen a arrogant person, but I have never seen you as arrogant as you. You just act wildly in front of the infantry. My cavalry in the North Mansion Army is your nemesis."

Zhang He and his cavalry looked at each other, and suddenly burst into laughter. The young general of Jin was so angry that the number of cavalry fighting between them was absolutely superior. The opponent was only a thousand people, and the two thousand eight hundred people on their own were killed. They were willing to tease them now;

The laughter stopped, Zhang He looked at Liu Laozhi with his eyes slanted, "Since that's the case, how about we have a gentleman battle?"

Liu Laozhi: "What is a battle for gentlemen?"

"You only have more than a thousand cavalry, and I have two thousand eight hundred cavalry. Even if I win, others will say that I will win without force. I would rather have a thousand cavalry than I would have sent out one thousand cavalry, and both sides retreated 500 steps, lost their bows and arrows, charged fairly, how about a single battle?"

When the cavalry around Liu Laozhi heard this, they gritted their teeth in anger. One of the cavalrymen whispered: "This Qin general is too arrogant. Liu Zhengwei, if we don't kill these Qin soldiers today, we won't have to mess up the cavalry team in our area in the future."

Liu Laozhi smiled and said, "What are you anxious about? Do you think Qin General is a fool? Don't use superior troops and play a gentleman battle with us? Let's take a plan."

Everyone hurriedly asked Qixiang, Liu Laozhi smiled slightly and rode his horse forward, "It's as you wish. Today, if the cavalry of our Northern Palace Army is more brave or your soldiers are better than you. Brothers, step back five hundred steps, leave the battlefield at noon, and prepare to charge!"

The soldiers responded with a loud promise and retreated. Zhang He looked a little cunning in his face and said to the left and right: "There is a few more teams to charge later. The front team is one thousand, and the back team is all lying on them. First give them a round of crossbow arrows to the range, and then use one rush to wipe out these idiots. I was worried that there was no distance to charge, and they had another three thousand infantry to assist. They might suffer losses when fighting. Only by setting a distance can our army's charge be exerted. This Jin Pig is probably a young man, and he doesn't even understand this. Haha, we will make great contributions in this battle."

The Qin soldiers and cavalry immediately flattered themselves, praising General Zhang for his meticulous use of troops and his meticulousness. With Zhang He's order, the whole team turned around, and the front team turned into the back team and retreated.

A sudden sound of drums came from behind him, and the shouts were deafening. Everyone turned their bodies awkwardly and looked at them. They suddenly lost their souls. They saw that the cavalry of the Northern Mansion who had just turned their heads and were about to retreat were all bent their bows and arrows to make their butts. The formation was approaching quickly, and the drum beats and shouts added to the panic in everyone's hearts.

Originally, the distance between the two sides was only eighty steps, and it was within the range. Within one breath, the distance between the two sides was closer to fifty steps. Liu Laozhi shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"

The arrows were like rain, and the head was poured down. Suddenly, people were tilted down, and countless people were hit by the arrows. Zhang He shouted: "No, Jin dogs are cheating." But he forgot that he had originally planned to come to the dark, but now it would be a chaotic situation to turn the horse's head, so he hurriedly ordered to speed up and rush out of the range of the arrows and charge in formation. The two armies were in a confrontation, but now it seemed that Qin soldiers were fleeing and Jin troops were chasing them.

The Northern Army chased after the ranks of the ranks, hanging forty or fifty steps, and the arrows were fired six or seven times in a row, chasing more than two miles away, shooting more than a thousand Qin soldiers. The infantry following behind saw the opportunity, gathered the fleeing horses everywhere, and slaughtered the Qin soldiers who were still moaning one by one. Liu Laozhi stopped when he saw it, and when he saw that it was almost done, he ordered the horse to turn around and retreat quickly.

The Qin soldiers were still running wildly until someone shouted, "There is no one behind, the Jin soldiers retreat." Everyone then took a breath. After counting the number of people, more than 1,300 people were shot and killed. Zhang He was so angry that he cursed, but he had no choice but to do anything. Now these 1,500 people were looking back and chasing them to death. They had to watch the back of the Jin soldiers faintly disappear into the east, and the dust that was rolled up did not dissipate for a long time.

"Liu Xiaowei's move is really amazing, it's so fucking satisfying. I admire it." Wang Qingshan sat on the captured horse and Liu Laozhi and laughed loudly.

"Haha, war is a strange way; our General Han has long told us that the battlefield is full of omnipotence, and what kind of gentlemen's battle is still played by the Qin general, which is ridiculous; he is his gentleman, and I am my villain, and each has his own place." Liu Lao said in a narrow and narrow way.

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

"Actually, they also want to play with the silence, but the heat is not enough. I thought I couldn't see that the cavalry of the gangs need to have room for charge to show their power. I underestimated me, Liu Laozhi. If I only have such a little ability, can I be a lieutenant under Han Shuai?" Liu Laozhi was full of enthusiasm.

"Xiawei Liu, who is your Han Shuai? Why do everyone respect him wholeheartedly?" Wang Qingshan said in confusion.

"How can I say it? I can't say it well. For example, even a thousand of my skills cannot match my grand commander." Liu Laozhi said sincerely.

Wang Qingshan took a deep breath, not excluding Liu Laozhi's exaggerated elements, but judging from the expressions of these Northern Mansion Army, this Han Shuai was indeed an unfathomable person who was regarded as a god in the Northern Mansion Army; he could not wait to see this person.

...

Deng Qiang roared in anger and wanted to behead Zhang He without saying a word. Three thousand cavalrymen went to chase the fleeing people and defeated soldiers, but they even dared to come back. Even if the troops in Chaohu City North were supported, what is the use of the one thousand cavalry that was being supported? It wasn't it that the cavalry was the king of soldiers. When Zhang He got to this, they all became the king of soldiers.

The generals quickly pleaded with mercy. Zhang Heping was well-known for his common reputation and had some military achievements. Everyone said, "Deputy General Zhang is brave and resourceful. This time he was just careless and fell into the trick of the Northern Prefecture Army. Besides, killing the general in the battle is ominous, it is better to let him make meritorious contributions, which also makes the general benevolent and righteous."

After Deng Qiang was furious, he gradually calmed down. Zhang He usually performed well and was his capable subordinate. Otherwise, he would not have given him such an important and expensive army, which was the cavalry. This time he suffered a great loss, which was beneficial to his future battle. So he took the donkey and beat Zhang He twenty military sticks, and ordered him to commit crimes and make meritorious service.

Deng Qiang had a great headache. He counted the city of Hefei. When the enemy fled, he set fire to the fire and damaged all the food, grass and supplies. These bandits were really hateful. In this way, they had to ask the rear to quickly escort the food and grass. The food and grass brought by the army was only enough for the entire army to eat for more than ten days, which means that no food and grass were escorted to the arrival within five or six days, so he had to retreat.

In addition, Zhang He suffered a great loss when he fought with the Northern Mansion Army for the first time, which gave him a new understanding of the Northern Mansion Army. The Northern Mansion Army had cavalry, which was a big deal, which shows that the Northern Mansion Army was not a gang of mud legs as intelligence said, and even the weapons were not fully equipped; such a valuable cavalry, is this still a garbage army composed of mud legs? In addition, the enemy's use of military deceit shows that there are capable people in the Northern Mansion Army, and it is easy to get one general but difficult to find. The troops led by virtuous generals must increase their combat power. Deng Qiang secretly put away his contempt and responded carefully.

"Send someone to send my handwritten letter to Runan County and hand it over to Ma Taishou, and ask him to quickly escort the food and grass for support."

"The other two generals Sun Hu and Sun Bao took our military talismans and the imperial edicts of the leadership to the two counties of Runan, Nanyang, and mobilized 10,000 troops from the two counties to come. If anyone disobeyed, he would be killed. The consequences would be borne by me."

"The army took a break and sent troops to Chaohu City in the afternoon. The vanguard army sent a team of 100 people to search for the mountains and forests and deserted hills along the way to prevent the enemy from ambushing."

Deng Qiang issued an order in a stack of voices, and the generals responded loudly and took the order to prepare for each.

In the afternoon, the army set out and the whole way was calm. The Northern Mansion Army did not set up an ambush along the way. This was within Deng Qiang's expectations. There was no danger along the way. The large army could not hide it at all. If you want to set up an ambush, you would have no right to defend the city and turn it into a large-scale field battle. That would be the only thing that the Northern Mansion Army would not be so stupid.

The army only delayed the Fenghuang Pass for a while. The mountain pass was narrow, and the mountains and dense forests on both sides could be ambushed more than 10,000 people. However, Deng Qiang had been through the battle formation for a long time, how could he fall into this situation? Dozens of teams of agile scouts carried arrows and fireworks to sneak into the dense forest for more than an hour. After confirming that there were no ambushes, the army successfully passed through the mountain pass.

After passing Fenghuang Mountain, there was a flat horse in front of me, and a dark city stood on the plain. There was only five miles away between Fenghuang Mountain and Chaohu City. The army could not camp. Even if they barely set up camp, there was no depth to speak of and could only be arranged in one line. However, this kind of camp was a taboo in camp. If an enemy attack was attacked, it would be easily broken through.

Deng Qiang then ordered the army to go north and lay a round camp in the open area outside the north gate.

The formal camp is actually a waste of effort. Unlike the recommended resting place, the Deng Qiang army must continue to attack the city, so the camp is built according to formal procedures, taking into account the possible night attacks, fire attacks, explosions, etc. of the enemy, as well as the food and supplies of the army, the safety of the generals, etc., which is very complicated.

A group of logs were first erected outside the Yingpan. The logs were buried deep underground, and soil was built to form a high platform to cover them, which not only solved the firmness, but also solved the fire resistance; then digging trenches on the outermost periphery and connecting them with small drainage trenches in the log area to prevent heavy rain from causing flooding; then garrisons were divided into pieces; Deng Qiang established a camp in a circular formation, and the general tent was naturally at the center; the vanguard army was in front, and the left and right troops were on the left and right, and the central army was stationed around the general tent, and behind was the baggage and food, which was the ** camp, with fire-banned candles, and covered them with oil cloth to prevent water; the central army to the front army paved avenue with stones, leading to the camp gate; the camp gate was tall, and several arrow towers were built on both sides. All of these were self-constitutional and had their own uses.
