On the way to Yueling County.

Gao Ding, Gao Shan brothers led 17,800 soldiers from north to southwest and returned to Qiongdu County.

When the two set off, their troops were more than 20,000. Zhurong led 20,000 elite troops across the river to pursue Zhang Xiu. They divided 3,000 troops and horses to Zhurong.

There was no decent battle in this battle, but the only pursuit battle caused them to lose so many troops.

"It would be better to believe that woman than to believe in myself." Gao Shan waved his big gun with an angry look on his face.

Gao Jing's face was full of solemnity. The four big bosses from the south raised an army together, with an average force of 20,000, which was 80,000, which was considered to be a large number of people and powerful people. They also occupied the advantage of the territory, but were defeated by Zhang Xiu, which was a bit of a big blow.

"That's right. By the same token, it's better to believe in Meng Yuan than to believe in ourselves." Gao Ding nodded and said.

This time, Gao Ding understood it clearly. The soldiers are not in many, but in the essence. The generals are not in broader, but in the many powerful generals.

It would be better to work alone with Meng Yuan and other fools.

"Brother, Meng Yuan is Zhang Xiu's main enemy. I guess Zhang Xiu might personally lead the main force to pursue Meng Yuan. He sent out the general to attack our Yueli County."

"I will give you ten thousand people. You will be ambushed on the road that must be passed. If you have the chance, you will ambush them, and if you don't have the chance, you will harass the generals. I will lead 7,000 elite soldiers back to Qiongdu City. There are hundreds of thousands of people in our county. I will recruit them casually and get 20,000 to 30,000 people. We will guard our own and fight a protracted battle with Zhang Xiu. When Zhang Xiu is impatient, we will be safe when we return to the north."

After planning in his mind, Gao Ding turned to Gao Shan and said.

Gao Shan is the number one warrior of the Gao family.

Although there are many powerful generals in the Han army, Gao Ding is still very relieved about her clan brother. Why is it better than Zhu Rong's embroidered pillow?

Yueli County is the territory of their Gao family's ancestors, with the right people and people.

Didn’t the Han people say the art of war? I have the right time, place, and people. I have the second one, so why worry about not winning?

"Brother, don't worry. No matter who comes, I will cut off his head." Gao Shan looked confident. In order to make his statement more convincing, he played several guns in succession.

The brothers were very confident, and soon they arrived at Gueniu Mountain in Yueli County. The brothers parted ways, led tens of thousands of troops alone and lie down here.

.............

Zhang Ren was ordered to attack Yueli County, and with the Gao brothers, with only one day apart.

On the same road, Zhang Ren led tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command to quickly head to Yueli County. Most of his men and horses were from Bashu, mixed with a few Di people. These people usually crossed mountains and ridges and had good strength.

Zhang Ren is a general with outstanding prestige. His troops and horses have always been very morale. Although the process of capturing Zhurong alive was a little awkward, the ending was gratifying.

The morale of the soldiers was very high and proud.

In addition to the soldiers, there were many horses in the army pulling large carts, which were loaded with supplies and food.

Front.

Under the banner of the "Zhang" character, Zhang Ren was wearing black iron armor and was sitting on a Liangzhou red horse given by Zhang Xiu. Although he was a little short, it did not damage the momentum of his general.

Although Zhang Ren was brave in war, he was cautious in marching. After carefully observing the surrounding terrain, he turned to the deputy general around him and said, "Send more spies, don't be afraid of hard work. Go explore the mountains along the way. The terrain here is very complicated and easy to lie in ambush."

"No." The deputy general replied and went down to do business immediately.

Another day later, Zhang Ren's troops arrived near Guainiu Mountain.

Guainiu Mountain is very high, but the mountain is relatively flat and the trees are dense. It can not only hide soldiers, but also lead troops down the mountain to attack. It is an excellent ambush place.

It was noon at this moment, and the sun was very fierce. Gao Shan was wearing black armor. Although he was hiding under the shade, he was still sweating all over.

"Bang!" Gao Shan reached out and slapped himself, slapped a mosquito to death, and rubbed his face.

At this moment, a sound of horse hooves sounded. Gao Shan quickly looked down through the gap between the leaves.

It was not Zhang Ren's army that came, but a team of spies riding horses. These spies were divided into two parts, one of which was left on the road and ready to run away at any time.

A man turned over and dismounted, picked up his spear, and explored on the mountains on both sides, exploring inch by inch.

"Damn Zhang Ren, the Han army is so powerful now, but he is still so cautious. If Zhu Rong was half as cautious as him, he wouldn't have been ambushed."

Gao Shan cursed.

Then he waved his hand and ordered: "Let the soldiers gather on the road, and we will fight Zhang Ren directly on the road."

"No." An officer responded to the promise, and the drums rumbling on the mountain. The two teams of Zhang Ren's spies immediately retreated alertly, quickly turned over the horse, turned the horse's head, and returned to the place where they were.

Not long after, Gao Shan rode a tall horse and gathered 10,000 elite soldiers on the mountain road, waiting for Zhang Ren's arrival.

North, on the road.

The flags of the character "Zhang" sway slightly in the wind. Zhang Ren was wearing a black armor and was sweating profusely against the sun.

After hearing the spy's report, Zhang Ren sneered and said, "When we Han people were reading military books, the barbarians were still playing with mud. Want to ambush me? It was five hundred years early."

"General. The general who can be used by Gaodu is only Gaoshan. Most of the enemy generals on the opposite side are him. Now Gaoshan leads elite troops to form a formation, waiting for his work. We may suffer losses when we fight with him. Even if we don't suffer losses, we may become the last of our strength when we arrive in Qiongdu County. We have to think of a way to defeat Gaoshan with fewer casualties."

The deputy general bowed his hand and said to Zhang Ren.

"That's right." Zhang Ren nodded. Although his army was elite, there were few soldiers after all. And this was the territory of Gao's family. If Gao was given time, the troops could increase continuously.

"Where is the guide?" Zhang Ren thought for a while and shouted.

"The villain is here." An old man with a few guides came to Zhang Ren and paid a visit carefully.

"According to the spy, the mountain is waiting for me in a formation under Guiniu Mountain. Is there a small path around here?" Zhang Ren asked.

"There is no big road that can be circulated. But there is a remote and narrow path that can reach Guiniu Mountain, on the side. Usually, there are only some herb collectors, and hunters will walk. People can get by, but baggage and horses cannot get by."

The old man thought for a while and answered Zhang Rendao.

Zhang Ren nodded with satisfaction and said, "Just be able to pass by people." As he said that, he turned to the deputy general and said, "You pretend to be me and lead 7,000 elite soldiers slowly to Guiniu Mountain. I personally led 3,000 troops to attack the side of the mountain and defeated it. Then he entered Qiongdu County and cut off Gao Ding's head."

"promise."

The deputy general responded with a loud promise. Then the deputy general led a large group of troops to continue along the road.

Zhang Ren turned over and dismounted, not even a big gun, only wore armor and a big sword, and walked lightly with three thousand elite soldiers, following the guide on a remote path.

............

Gunniu Mountain, on the mountain road. This mountain road is a big road, but it is not very wide. However, the terrain of this area seems to be a gourd, and after passing through the mouth of the gourd, it suddenly becomes wide.

Gaoshan generals were armed with 10,000 troops, arranged in five rows. In front were spearmen wearing iron armor, with only one thousand people. The second row was archers, and the third row was ordinary spearmen.

Surrounded by his personal soldiers, Takayama himself rode his horse in the middle of the team, waving his big gun from time to time, looking forward frequently, with an excited look on his face.

"Hahaha, here you come. If you kill Zhang Ren, I will not only be famous for the Han people. Our Yueli County is also safe."

The archer under Gao Shan immediately drew out the arrows from the arrow bag and bent his bow to prepare for the arrow.

"Kill it. After breaking the mountains, there is a sheep in Yueli County ahead, and you can capture it at will. This is a great achievement and everyone will be rewarded."

The deputy general pretended to be Zhang Ren, stood under the banner of the character "Zhang", and waved his big gun in his hand and ordered.

The soldiers all knew that Zhang Ren was not here, and they all knew what was going on, and it did not affect morale. Even after defeating Yueli County, everyone was rewarded.

"kill!!!!"

The soldiers' eyes suddenly widened, and strong power burst out from their lungs, and a powerful roar burst out of their killing sound.

Although there are seven thousand people, they have the momentum of 30,000 people.

Moreover, their iron armor rate was very high. After Zhang Xiu acquired the Bashu troops, he dismissed many old and weak, and also concentrated the iron armor. Zhang Ren's old part reached a lot of iron armor.

"What a good Zhang Ren, he is indeed well-known." Gao Shan was not an incompetent person. He became solemn when he saw the other party's momentum.

"Archer is ready." Gao Shanfei shook the big gun in his hand and ordered.

"Swoosh swosh swosh swosh!!!" Gao Shan was waiting for the enemy with a leisurely waiting for the formation, so he naturally had an advantage. The archers under his command calmly let go of the bowstring in his hand. With the sound of thunder, arrows whistled lightly like raindrops, attacking Zhang Renjun.

Although the iron armored soldiers were in front, the archers could shoot parabola. Many arrows avoided the iron armored soldiers in front of Zhang Ren's army and fell towards the ordinary soldiers in the rear.

"Puchi, puchi."

After the bow and arrow fell, many soldiers were shot and killed without saying a word. More arrows were nailed to the ground, and the tails of the arrows were shaking continuously.

The soldiers of Zhang Renjun did not retreat, not even a trace of slowness, and rushed forward and their archers fought back while walking forward.

"Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!!!" Gao Shan's eyes were covered with bloodshots, and he shouted loudly.

"kill!!!"

Just like two tanks collided, the iron armored soldiers from both sides collided together. Zhang Renjun did not immediately gain the upper hand.

Gaoshan's troops are not weak. Zhang Ren does not have the absolute power of the camp and has few soldiers.

The two sides met in a short time.

After a moment of fighting, countless soldiers died on the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Gao Shan's face was very excited, and he kept raising his gun and shouting: "My sons, don't retreat. Killing Zhang Ren is a great achievement. The king will reward us heavily."

"Kill!!!!" The soldiers under his command were motivated and roared hard to kill.

After a while, a group of people suddenly broke out from the mountain on the left. There was no road in this place, and the mountain was filled with thorns and shrubs.

Zhang Ren waved the sword in his hand and took the lead in cutting his legs regardless of the thorns. He dripped down the thorns like a bulldozer, led his troops down the mountain, and attacked the formation of the mountains from the flanks.

"Zhang Ren is here. Gao Shan is killed!!!" Zhang Ren shouted his name, and chopped down a spear soldier, picked up the spear, left the sword, and stabbed another Gao Shan soldier with the spear to death. The three thousand elite soldiers under his command were as powerful as bamboo.

"Damn it. How could Zhang Ren kill him from the mountain?" Gao Shan widened his eyes and cursed.

"Hold on, hold on. We will suffer a loss in the number of people." Gao Shan shouted, letting the soldiers hold on. However, the elite soldiers under his command were still elite, but the military discipline was a little bit poor. Unpredictable, his morale quickly collapsed.
