Wang Lei withdrew with his soldiers. The news reached Yuan Shao's ears in the morning of the next day. Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help laughing loudly with his hands on his hips. At this moment, Yuan Shao looked at the beauty of mountains and water, and the depression in his heart was wiped out.

"After we evacuated from Nanpi County, we were chased all the way, and we were in a mess!"

"Wang Lei retreats, our hard days are over!"

"Now, it's time to fight back. Wang Lei wants to break out of the encirclement of Nanpi County. How can it be so easy? Send orders to order soldiers from all counties and villages to intercept Wang Lei!"

Yuan Shao looked at Xu You and gave an order directly.

"yes!"

Xu You nodded and immediately ordered.

Yuan Shao changed his tone and said, "Set off and return to Nanpi County!"

"Master, wait!"

Xu You reached out to stop him and persuaded him: "My lord, although we have received the news of Wang Lei's evacuation, we have to guard against Wang Lei's intentional fraud. If Wang Lei pretends to retreat but ambush the halfway, at that time, with the troops around him, he will not be able to stop Wang Lei's attack. Bei Zhi suggests that the lord should be asked to suspend the withdrawal of Nanpi County and wait for the news ahead to confirm before setting off and return!"

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it makes sense. Ziyuan's analysis is very correct. Wang Lei is cunning and accustomed to lie. We cannot be fooled and will not go back for the time being. After the news of Wang Lei's evacuation is confirmed, it will not be too late to chase him!"

Xu You said: "The lord is wise!"

A hint of expectation appeared on Yuan Shao's face, hoping that Wang Lei would be kept.

...

Wang Lei led the Tiger Camp and the cavalry to retreat, and caught up with the army led by Taishi Ci that afternoon.

During the break, Wang Lei found Taishi Ci and asked, "Ziyi, how is the situation ahead!"

After being defeated by Gao Lan, Taishici became much more calm and said, "According to the feedback from the sentry detective, the army that Taishici withdrew from Zhongshan Kingdom is rushing back quickly. At present, since we have just led our troops to retreat, the news has not yet reached the ears of the leading generals. I suggest that we fight another ambush, take advantage of the opponent's urgent desire to withdraw, and the opportunity to not know that we have withdrawn the news, defeat this army, and give Yuan Shao a severe lesson,!"

Wang Lei thought for a moment and said, "Yes!"

Taishici clasped his fists and said, "Since the lord agrees, I will make arrangements immediately!"

Wang Lei said: "You will command this battle!"

"Abide by the order!"

Taishici was excited to prepare and planned the final battle to leave Nanpi County.

...

Qili Township is located to the west of Nanpi County.

This area has mountainous roads with steep hills and narrow roads at the foot of the mountain. Many roads are walking in the valleys. After Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang took their soldiers back from Zhongshan Kingdom, they ordered their soldiers to hurry up and return to Nanpi County in the shortest time. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were both generals under Yuan Shao, with extraordinary martial arts and good commanders.

"Brother, we fought in Zhongshan for several months, but we didn't have any record, and we still didn't win Zhongshan, alas..."

Lu Xiang felt a headache when he thought about going back to face Yuan Shao.

If you return without success, you will definitely be rolled by Yuan Shao.

Lu Kuang couldn't help but squeezing his teeth and nodded, "There is another chance now. We will lead our army to surround Wang Lei. As long as we block Wang Lei in Nanpi County and capture Wang Lei, the lord will not only not blame him, but will give him a reward!"

The two brothers looked at each other and were both full of fighting spirit.

This battle must be won.

The two led their troops forward and had no worries when they arrived at a valley. They entered directly. The road in this place was about two feet and six feet wide. The valley road was deep and long and could not be seen at first sight. The hillsides on both sides of the valley road were at least three feet high, and the highest point was even six or seven feet high.

Wang Lei was still chasing Yuan Shao in Nanpi County, so the two of them had no worries.

The entrance of the mountain road to Nanpi County, on the hillside.

Wang Lei was hiding here, and he was waiting quietly, waiting for the front troops under Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang to arrive. Time passed, footsteps and messy words came. Wang Lei looked down and soldiers came in the deep valley.

Seeing this, Dian Wei immediately prepared to notify the rest of the people to take action.

Wang Lei reached out to stop him and signaled Dian Wei not to move.

Slowly, after the front group of soldiers left the valley entrance, and as many as five or six hundred soldiers left the valley entrance, Wang Lei immediately ordered: "Brother, light the fireworks and send a signal!"

In an instant, Dian Wei immediately ignited the fire.

A large fire ignited on the hillside at the exit, and thick smoke stormed in the air.

This situation can be clearly seen in the entire valley.

"Swish, Swish!!!"

Bows and arrows broke through the sky and shot out from above the valley into the valley.

From the entrance of the valley to the exit of the valley, there were soldiers under Wang Lei's command ambush on both sides of the hillside. All the soldiers held bows and arrows and shot randomly in the valley. Under the dense bows and arrows, countless Yuan soldiers died under the arrows.

Lu Kuang was also rushing in the valley. His face changed drastically. The long sword danced, and the light of the knife flashed. The bows and arrows shot from around him were pushed away. While blocking the bows and arrows, Lu Kuang rushed forward quickly, trying to get out of the mountain road as soon as possible.

The same was true for Lu Xiang, following Lu Kuang, and fled quickly.

The two of them felt inexplicable, how could the army suddenly encounter an attack?

Logically, Wang Lei's army was still pursuing Yuan Shao. The two couldn't figure it out, and there was no extra time to think about it at the moment. The dense bows and arrows made the two tired of dealing with it, and the soldiers under their command fell one by one in the valley.

There is no ruthlessness under the arrow, and countless casualties are killed or injured.

At the exit of the valley, the soldiers rushing out breathed a sigh of relief. The next moment, the soldiers noticed something strange.

"Boom,!"

A deafening sound came and the ground began to vibrate.

In an instant, the soldier's expression changed drastically.

At the sight, a cavalry rushed out in front of the official road at the exit. The number of cavalry was not large, only a few hundred people. But the army was attacked and the army was in chaos, and the soldiers rushing out could not resist.

Seeing the cavalry rushing towards him, the soldiers who had left the valley entrance fled everywhere.

But the legs were not as fast as the war horses. In a short while, the cavalry caught up with the escaped soldiers. The war horses collided with the body of the escaped soldiers. The bones cracked, and the soldiers fainted directly; the big knife slashed, and the cold light flashed, and the sharp blade cut the skin on the neck, and blood splattered, and the escaped soldiers were killed instantly; the spear stabbed out, and the sharp spear tip poked into the back of the Yuan army soldier, passing through his chest, and the blood-ridden hole made people shudder...

The battlefield outside the valley entrance was a completely one-sided massacre.

The soldiers under Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang all became lambs to be slaughtered. After the two brothers rushed out of the valley, they suffered a lot of injuries. When they saw the soldiers under their command being slaughtered, they were angry.

However, the situation was corrupt and the two were not allowed to delay, so they directly led their troops to break through.

The two escaped, and some of the cavalry had already targeted them.

A white horse rushed over, a white figure roared over, and a large iron spear stabbed out and headed straight for Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang was shocked and quickly waved his sword to resist.

The moment the weapons collided with each other, the iron gun swept towards Lu Xiang with the help of the rebounding force, and then hit Lu Xiang's waist with a bang, knocking Lu Xiang off the horse. Immediately, he was caught by the soldiers. Lu Kuang was so scared that he dared not rescue him, so he quickly ran away, but he did not get rid of Taishi Ci's gun, and was knocked off the horse, and then caught.

The two brothers were arrested one after another.

The chief general was captured, and Yuan's soldiers were even more in chaos, either fleeing around or surrendering quickly.

This ambush became very simple because of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang's carelessness. After the war, Wang Lei's soldiers suffered almost no losses. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang looked depressed and were escorted to Wang Lei by the soldiers.

Not long ago, the two were the leading generals, but now they have become prisoners.
