Tian Ben was still yelling outside the camp of Fan and Zhongxing.

He pointed behind him and said, "Neigong still has two vacant spears, which were specially reserved for Zhong Xingyin and Fan Jishe by my general.

Before he finished speaking, he saw that the main gate of the enemy's camp suddenly opened, and hundreds of people chased after them, holding torches and weapons, and rushed towards Tian Ben and the others, shouting loudly.

"The Shuoshu has finally come out of the nest!" Tian Ben suddenly jumped up, and led his men to turn around and ran. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by another group of people before they ran far.

Gongsun Ji had a plan. Just now, he deliberately kept the main gate closed, but instead let people bypass the camp gates on the left and right, trying to block these arrogant Zhao soldiers, so that they could be killed nearby and avoid long-distance pursuit.

Unexpectedly, the combat effectiveness of these hundreds of Zhao soldiers was astonishing, especially the poisonous-tongued man with a knife and a halberd rushed to the front, like chopping melons and vegetables, killing the Fan soldiers who were surrounding them from left and right, and then chasing one of them. The soldiers in the team retreated. When the chasing soldiers at the main entrance arrived, Tian Ben and the others had already made a **** path. They did not want to fight and ran into the dark night.

This was unexpected before, and the soldiers who came out to pursue them were suddenly a little stunned. After a while of chaos, they reorganized and continued to pursue after Gongsun Shu and a Di Ren cavalry officer who was riding a horse and holding a spear scolded and ordered.

"I must take back my son's head, and then smash the corpse of the person who humiliated him into ten thousand pieces!" This was Fan Jishe's exhortation before departure, and Gongsun Su must complete it.

Although, he was reluctant to go deep into the night full of crisis.

But in addition to the master's order, Gao Qiang's words also echoed in his ears.

"Zilong, Zhao Wuxi has people come to scold and provoke people, there must be a conspiracy to lure us to attack. But on the other hand, the gentleman of the Fan family was beheaded in Muye, and his head was cut off by the Zhao family to order the three armies, Fan's The morale has already suffered a huge blow because of this incident, and it has been defeated continuously, abandoned the city and lost ground, and it will collapse at any time if it falls again. Do you understand?"

"The kid knows it..."

Gao Qiang added: "Zhao Wuxi sent someone to challenge Fan's gentleman's head today, not only to make Fan lose his fighting spirit, but also to affect the Zhongxing's. If he just ignores the door, the military will definitely Screaming loudly. The two armies compete with each other. The courage is also, once the spirit is slack, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy in battle. Therefore, if you have to go out! If you go out, you must be quick and quick. Solve the battle within miles, take back the head of the gentleman of the Fan family, and then withdraw it no matter how far it is..."

As a militarist country where even the officials and generals go out, the Jin people have a lot of war experience. Even so, they try to avoid fighting at night, because when fighting at night, the light is not enough for people to see things in the distance, and It's hard to get together in the dark once the team is scattered. So usually try to avoid night battles.

What's more, there are still many people who suffer from "bird blindfolded" in the strokes of Fan's and Zhongxing's soldiers: ordinary people can vaguely see people forty paces away under the starlight, but these "bird-blindfolded" patients can only see Those within ten paces, in the night scuffle, these people are no different from the blind, and if they go, they will die.

Therefore, Gao Qiang asked Gongsun Shu to use more torches, and in addition to taking three hundred Fan's disciples, he also allocated two hundred Rong and Di cavalry under the Zhongxing clan to pursue him.

The leader of the Rong and Di cavalry was named Zhai Fengtu, a man from the Gu and Fei areas, after the Zhongxing clan conquered the two small states of the Di people. The Zhai Fengtu family served the Zhongxing clan as protons and retainers. His accent and dress are no different from those of the Jin people, except that the leather jacket on his head is exaggeratedly decorated with feathers, while his subordinates retain more of the Di people's style: wearing rough animal skin armor, Wearing wolf, leopard, bearskin hats. There are even those who wear bird feather cloaks and animal teeth.

Gongsun Shu didn't have much conversation with this Di people's cavalry officer. Looking at these unique weapons of the Zhonghang clan, he thought: "The north is called Di, who lives in a cave with feathers and clothes. There are people who don't eat grains... as expected."

Strange to say though. Among the Rong and Di cavalrymen, who drank blood and even ate raw animal livers, the proportion of birds blindfolded was very small, while Fan and Zhong who often ate vegetarian coarse grains had more soldiers. This is why Gao Qiang let Zhai Fengtu accompany him.

The pursuit continued, and the opponent's footsteps were very fast. They ran hundreds of paces away. After a while, they could only vaguely see the torches in front of them flickering.

The pursuit of an unknown future is the most difficult, let alone in the face of such a dangerous situation. After a while, Zhai Fengtu proposed to pursue the attack separately, let the Di cavalry spread out, cooperate with the soldiers and the chariots, spread forward like the pincers of a scorpion, and cut off those who fell into it.

This way of chasing is effective. They even caught more than ten Zhao Bing who were left behind, killed them all with a single sword, and then continued to chase, getting closer and closer to the fire in front of them, a hundred steps, fifty steps!

Gongsun Yu had been looking at the torch in front of him. Later, because the night was getting deeper and deeper, staring for a long time made his eyes dry and tingling, so he couldn't help blinking.

In just a moment, when he blinked and opened his eyes again, he was horrified to discover that the torches in front of him had all been extinguished...

They are now in a large field about a mile and a half away from the camp. It is said in "Yu Gong" that in Hanoi, "the soil is only white soil, and the fertile white soil is only on the top." The fertile white soil produces dense corn , the stalk is half the height of a human...

On the road, there are several carriages with their wheels removed...

After the torches in front were extinguished, the chasing soldiers became the only light in the sky and the most conspicuous targets. By the time Gongsun Ji noticed something was wrong and shouted, "Quickly put out the fire!", it was too late.

In the next instant, the sound of the bowstring and the crossbow machine clattered together, and countless arrows shot out from the cornfield, covering the front row of the chasing soldiers...

"It's an ambush!" Gongsun Yu only remembered that after he shouted this sentence, he was hit by a precise and heavy arrow on the bronze armor, his head buzzed, and he fell unconscious in the car...

...

Time went back a few hours ago, and after nightfall, Zhao Wuxi asked Tian Ben to challenge in front of the enemy camp, while he himself set up an ambush here with bowmen and cavalry.

Except for the five hundred crossbowmen and foot soldiers lying in the corn fields on both sides of the road, the cavalry lay in ambush by the woods. Hundreds of knights were sitting on the glade, and the horses' mouths were tied, so there was no need to worry about the sound of the war horses. There was no one around, except for the calm breathing of the knights.

On this moonless night, Archer Yan Gao could see fields, trees, and streams from far and near. The creek was rustling, reflecting the faint starlight, and Yan Gao subconsciously felt the cool water on his face: they flowed from a place in the north called "Hundred Springs". There is a steep canyon, where the spring water rushing down from the Taihang Mountains gathers to form a lake.

But he didn't travel around with the master in the state of Lu at this time, enjoying the beauty of the scenery. He has been carefully observing the enemy camp several miles away, observing this pre-planned ambush point.

Yan Gao's eyes are good, in fact, the people who are in ambush tonight can see things normally at night!

Fan and Bank of China suffered from the fact that many soldiers in the army were "blindfolded" and tried to avoid night battles. In fact, Zhao Jun also faced this difficulty. But for Dong Zhao Wuzu, this problem has been solved.

The treatment of military pawns is very high, not only in food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but once they get sick, the master will ask the disciples of Bian Que to extend the doctor and ask for medicine!

After two or three years of development, a medical organization named "Ling Que" has taken root in Lu. Prescribing medicine for treatment, he began to study medical theory, and at the same time tried to overcome some intractable diseases.

While traveling in some areas. It was found that many of the local poor people have rough skin and suffer from "bird's eye", which is also known as "poor disease"; but very few local rich people are blindfolded.

After investigation, it was found that the rich eat more meaty, greasy, polished rice delicacies, and even all kinds of seasonal fruits. The poor's diet is a bit monotonous, especially because of the lack of mountains and forests, it is difficult to go to hunting and gathering places, and they eat mainly vegetarian coarse grains.

Doctor Bianque believes that this kind of "blindfolded bird" has a lot to do with the recipes of different groups of people. This guess was approved by Zhao Wuxi, and directly pointed out the key point: "Oil and animal liver!"

In this era, many animal viscera have been made into delicacies. For example, in the recipe of Zhou Tianzi, there is a kind of "liver net oil". Take a pair of dog livers. Wrap it in pig's intestine net oil, season it well, roast it on charcoal, and roast it until it is browned. Simply...

Bian Que was no stranger to Zhao Wuxi's ignorant ability. He immediately conducted an experiment in the barracks, and let the soldiers with bird's eye eat dog liver and pig liver. It only took more than a month. It really got better!

Since then, the soldiers have been able to eat meat once every ten days, and they ate roasted pork liver and dog liver. Although everyone could only eat a small piece, it was enough to make them grateful.

According to the idea provided by Wu Xie, Bian Que also found a lot of food that can cure the blindfolded birds, such as wolfberry, jujube, etc., which can be eaten occasionally by soldiers. Rong Shu! You can eat this every day.

Under the medical treatment of Bian Que, more than half a year has passed, and most of the blindfolded birds caused by military strokes have been cured. They may be the most daring army to fight night battles in this era!

Therefore, Yan Gao's subordinates were also clear-sighted at this time. He was a little tired, so he asked in a low voice, "What time is it?"

Someone below replied: "Brigade Commander, just passed the ugly time."

Yan Gao knew that Tian Ben had set out to challenge Zi Shi, but now that an hour has passed, can he really succeed?

At this moment, the person next to him suddenly said softly, "I seem to have heard a movement." The soldiers below heard the words and hurriedly clenched the bows and crossbows in their hands.

Yan Gao first looked at the enemy camp, and it was still pitch black with a few lights flashing, but he couldn't see anything, and it was silent. Looking down the fingers of the speaker, it was a field dozens of steps away.

The night was deep, and everyone looked at them together. Some held their swords, some spread their bows and crossbows, but there was no one in the field. After waiting for a long time, the seedlings rustled, as if some small animals were escaping far away. Go, or fox, or raccoon.

"It turned out to be a false alarm."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and let go of their weapons. At this moment, a torch light suddenly flashed in the distance!

"It's coming!" Everyone lowered their voices to remind the people next to them. This is a good signal. Tian Ben lured the enemy over with a torch, while Zhao Wuxi in front raised his hand, telling them to be calm and wait. The enemy enters the ambush circle.

Yan Gao saw that Tian Ben and the others were being bitten very tightly. A group of Di Ren knights attacked from their side with spears, halberds, swords and bows, and a large number of soldiers with torches were chasing after them. , Seeing that Yan Gao was very anxious.

But the ambush soldiers still held their breath and remained motionless. After the soldiers gritted their teeth and crossed the field and threw the torches in their hands to the ground and trampled them out, Zhao Wuxi gave a low order.

"shoot!"

...

After the bow and crossbow were fired, Wu Xie heard Yan Gao shouting excitedly: "I hit it!"

Yan Gao shot the enemy officer into the car with one arrow and whistled triumphantly.

"Good shot!"

Zhao Wuxi gave him a thumbs up in his heart. This is a heavy arrow made of iron. If the enemy officer is unlucky, he may shoot directly through the head. If he is lucky and wears a copper jacket, he may be able to pick it up. Give back a life.

Losing his command, those Fan's soldiers were in a mess, Yan Gao continued to use the bows and crossbows to harvest life with the Paozes, and Zhao Wuxi looked at the overall situation, causing the ambush soldiers to stand up and attack, and at the same time glanced at hundreds of paces outside.

Yu Xi had already rushed out from the edge of the woods with hundreds of cavalry, turned the horse back, cut off Tian Ben and others, and at the same time stopped the black cavalry of the Di people, their weapons flashing gloomy light under the torch. .

After being stunned for a while, the horn sounded suddenly, and the cavalry on both sides rushed forward, attacking each other...

Zhao Wuxi couldn't help but be attracted by them. This was the first time that Zhao's Qingqi had fought an opponent on a horse!

...

In the darkness, the shadows of swords, lights and swords are dazzling, and the neighing of horses can be heard in the ears.

Zhai Fengtu dodged an enemy attack, and returned to a safer place. The inside of his jacket was full of hot sweat.

Zhai Fengtu is a Bai Di people. His ancestors originally lived in the wild land south of Hetao and north of Qin State, and migrated with animal husbandry activities. Bai Di is not a pure nomadic people. They are half-farming and half-grazing, and they migrate in pursuit of aquatic plants and fertile land. Their livestock are mainly horses, cattle, and sheep, and they have no writing or books. It was not until more than a hundred years ago that Bai Di took advantage of Xing and Wei to break the country and migrated to the endless Hebei Plain, and established Xianyu, Gu, Fei and other states. etiquette system.

Even so, Bai Di still did not forget his own traditions. When there was no war, he would nomadic herd and farm at will, and enjoy riding horses and hunting birds and beasts in the mountains. When the tribal situation was urgent, everyone practiced their skills in attack and war. ~lightnovelpub.net~ And they use the quick maneuvering of horses to attack and plunder. This is their nature. This nature is also used by the Zhongxing clan, and they often recruit Bai Di from the drum and fat areas to join the army.

So a long time ago, when Zhai Fengtu heard that a gentleman of the Zhao family rode a horse alone while hunting, and let his subordinates wear Di trousers, practice riding and archery, and formed a cavalry, he was overjoyed.

"We Bai Di people can ride sheep when we are children, draw bows to shoot birds and mice at the age of five or six, and shoot foxes and rabbits for food when we grow up. Adult men can draw bows, and often Riding a horse in the mountains, riding and shooting. How can the Jin people be compared with us? I am afraid that it will not be able to follow the example, but it will be ridiculed."

Even later, Zhao's cavalry won a great victory in the battle against the Qi people. At that time, Zhai Fengtu, who followed Zhong Xingyin on the north bank of the Great River and watched the Qi people conquer Yiyi, did not care.

He thought confidently: "If there is a duel with Zhao's Qingqi, it must be Bai Di who wins!"

But it wasn't until tonight, when he really met Zhao Wuxi's cavalry, that Zhai Fengtu realized that he might have made a big mistake!
