Chapter 26 Going out of the city to grab food

Taking advantage of the night, several scouts of Hu army disappeared into the black like ghosts, and everyone kept their distance and headed towards the Fuyun Valley.

Although the twenty miles were not far away, I couldn't see clearly when I walked at night. It was not until dawn that I came to Fuyun Valley. The two scouts were lurking in the bushes and observing.

Fuyun Valley is like a bowl, with mountains everywhere. There is a large shed in the middle of the valley, with many bags piled up inside. These bags are specially used by the Hu Kingdom to hold grain.

In the middle of the Fuyun Valley, soldiers were patrolling around with spears, and dozens of people were stationed at the entrance of the valley.

After observing, the scouts looked at each other for a moment, nodded, confirmed that the information was correct, and then secretly retreated back and disappeared deep in the forest.

In Yubi City, Sima Chuchu and Zheng Tong sat at the table. Zheng Tong asked anxiously: "Chuchu, when will we surrender to Sijun? I miss my brother very much."

Sima Chuchu said calmly: "It's coming soon, wait for us to give Si Jun a big gift."

"Do you think Peng Guangyi will be fooled?" Zheng Tong asked without comment.

Sima Chuchu did not answer, but stood up and said, "Qian Xiaoxing is indeed a talented person. We gave up the way, and he defeated the Hu army and destroyed the King of Wu. Not only did he force Peng Guangyi to hide in Heimo City. What do you think Peng Guangyi will do in the future?"

Zheng Tong thought for a while and said, "He will definitely defend Heimo City to the death."

"I'm right, and he will definitely go to retaliate. However, Heimo City has a small population and will not have a lot of food. More than 20,000 of them must be short of food and grass. Moreover, according to our scouts, Heimo City has been burned, so we deliberately released the news that Fuyun Valley has food and grass. If Peng Guangyi lacks food and grass, he will definitely come to seize it." Sima Chuchu analyzed.

Zheng Tong still didn't believe it and said, "But several days have passed and there is no movement."

As he was speaking, soldiers came to report outside. After Sima Chuchu asked him to enter, the soldier said, "General, military advisor, we just discovered several scouts at our secret ward. Seeing that they should be wearing Peng Guangyi's subordinates, they had already asked him to retreat as the military advisor's instructions."

Sima Chuchu nodded and smiled, "Peng Guangyi seems to be unable to sit still. They are ready to take action. We can arrange an ambush."

Zheng Tong smiled happily and said, "Chuchu, you also have the style of your father. You will not be inferior when designing and planning. This time we will fight the Hu army hard and avenge the battle of Lanjiang!"

"Well, we can't be embarrassed if Qian Xiaoxing can destroy so many Hu soldiers. The Hu army has 25,000 people and we have 28,000 people. Then, taking advantage of the ambush, we are expected to destroy all Hu soldiers." Sima Chuchu said expectantly.

Zheng Tong was also excited. After winning the battle, he could reunite with Zheng Chang and immediately went out to allocate troops to arrange an ambush.

In Heimo City, Peng Guangyi saw the scouts from Fuyun Valley coming back and immediately asked: "What's the situation?"

The scout leaned over and replied, "There is indeed a valley called Fuyun Valley, which also stocked up a large amount of food and was guarded by a few soldiers."

Peng Guangyi thought about it for a while and said in confusion: "Okay, why did Zheng Tong store grain and grass in the valley instead of in Yubi City?"

The thousands of men on the side guessed: "General, if our food and grass were hidden outside the city, we would not have been burned by Si Jun. Zheng Tong probably was afraid that Qian Xiaoxing would come to burn it."

"What we said is reasonable, then let's send 5,000 people to grab food and grass!" Peng Guangyi gave an order and continued to remind him: "Qian Xiaoxing's troops are forty miles away from us. Once we send troops, their spies will definitely go back to report. We will go eighty miles away from Fuyun Valley forty miles, so there is plenty of time, but we must act quickly. When the Si army comes, we will be in trouble."

The commander clasped his fists and said, "I understand."

Five thousand Hu soldiers prepared their vehicles, brought their weapons and opened the city gate, and marched towards Fuyun Valley in a hurry.

After walking for a long time, he arrived at Fuyun Valley. Seeing that there were only dozens of guards at the entrance of the valley, the Hu army immediately launched a charge. When the guards saw a large group of people coming from the other side, they fled around without resisting. When the Hu army saw the food in the middle of the valley, they immediately went to loot.

Hu Bing stabbed the bag with a knife, but saw that it was covered with sand and soil. He couldn't help but be shocked and shouted, "No, we're trapped!"

Sure enough, many soldiers suddenly rushed out of the valley entrance, stepped forward and fought, and the archers took turns to shoot, forcing the Hu army to retreat into the valley.

Zheng Tong and Sima Chuchu stood on the distant mountain. Looking at the situation below, Zheng Tong said: "It's great. This time we can wipe out the Hu army."

Sima Chuchu smiled and said, "But there are only five thousand people. By the way, I suddenly remembered a plan."

"Oh, what is it?" Zheng Tong couldn't help asking.

Sima Chuchu replied: "When we were in Qingyu City, Qian Xiaoxing used the siege to lead our soldiers out of the city. This time, we can also borrow it and surround the Hu army without killing it. Peng Guangyi sent troops to rescue him, and the results of the battle can be expanded."

Zheng Tong nodded and said, "It's good, but our troops are 28,000, which is not much larger than Peng Guangyi's 25,000 people. Isn't it a bit uneasy?"

Sima Chuchu replied confidently: "We are waiting for our work and are familiar with the terrain. Although the number of people is not much different, victory may be a bit difficult, but I believe we can win."

"Okay, if you say you can, I will listen to you. Then I will give orders and surround the Hu Bing first!" After Zheng Tong said that, he ran down from the mountainside.

Zheng Chang ordered the soldiers to immediately set a row of wooden stakes at the entrance of the valley and blocked the entrance of the valley to prevent Hu army from striking assaults and causing casualties. The wooden stakes were full of archers standing at any time.

In Wujiao City, Qian Xiaoxing received news that there were 5,000 Hu soldiers leaving the city and heading north in Heimo City. Qian Xiaoxing was very puzzled after hearing this. What the hell is Peng Guangyi doing? If he wanted to escape, then the whole army would escape. What is the purpose of sending only 5,000 people out?

Seeing that Lu Shengzhong had no answer, Qian Xiaoxing had to ask Xiaobing: "Is there anything unusual about these five thousand soldiers leaving the city?"

The soldier thought for a while and said, "They are all pushing the cart, and many people carry ropes and poles."

"So that's it!" Qian Xiaoxing immediately understood after hearing this and said, "It turns out that they were going to grab grain, but they went north forty miles, and there was only Yubi City. There were Zheng Tong's large number of troops in the city. Wouldn't it be that five thousand people went to die?"

Lu Shengzhong couldn't analyze the reason and asked, "Seventh brother, what should we do now?"

"No matter what Peng Guangyi is doing, we will immediately send cavalry to stand by around Heimo City, always paying attention to the main trends of the Hu army. If we want to escape, we will be welcome." Qian Xiaoxing said fiercely.

Lu Shengzhong nodded and said, "Okay, then I will take the cavalry to go there immediately."

"I don't know what tricks Peng Guangyi is doing, so I'll go with you." Qian Xiaoxing said.

"Okay, the Dark Knights' full-body heavy helmet is not convenient for long-distance assault, so I brought the Zongheng Cavalry regiment and brought the Ye Ying regiment with me, with a total of 80,000 cavalry, and it's almost the same to deal with the Hu army's 25,000 infantry." In order to ensure Qian Xiaoxing's safety, Peng Guangyi sent all the troops he could send.

Qian Xiaoxing had no objection, and immediately eight thousand cavalrymen roared from Wujiao City and galloped towards Heimo City.

Speaking of Heimo City, the news that the five thousand soldiers of the Hu army were trapped was immediately sent back to Peng Guangyi. The soldiers rushed back all the way and said breathlessly: "General, it's not good. We have fallen into the trap. The five thousand soldiers who went to grab the grain were trapped in Fuyun Valley!"

"What! Is it Qian Xiaoxing's troops?" Peng Guangyi asked in a furious manner.

The soldier shook his head and said, "It's Zheng Tong's army."

Peng Guangyi said angrily: "Zheng Tong is so despicable, so he dares to pretend to be with me! I will immediately give me some troops to rescue me. Instead of being hungry here, it is better to fight with them!"

"Yes, the general will give an order!" The commander around him looked angry. He could not defeat Qian Xiaoxing. Zheng Chang, the defeated general, dared to provoke Hu Jun. He should give him some excellence.

"Make a fire to make rice, let the soldiers eat all the remaining food, and fight to the death with Zheng Tong!" Peng Guangyi ordered.

When the soldiers were full, Peng Guangyi led all 20,000 infantrymen to leave Heimo City and run towards Fuyun Valley in an orderly manner.

About an hour after Peng Guangyi left Heimo City, Qian Xiaoxing and Lu Shengzhong led the cavalry to the edge of Heimo City. Qian Xiaoxing originally wanted to stand by a few miles away from Heimo City and observe the enemy's movements first, but when he saw the pathfinder in front of him reported that Peng Guangyi had led the entire army to move, he immediately led the cavalry to chase him.

Lu Shengzhong asked while riding a horse, "Seventh brother, is Hu Jun trying to escape?"

"It's probably possible that if he stayed in Heimo City, he wouldn't have forgotten it. He actually abandoned the city and wanted to escape. Doesn't he take our cavalry seriously? Chase me and show him the style of our cavalry. Don't let Peng Guangyi look down on us." Qian Xiaoxing waved his horse whip and drove away.

"Okay, let's give Peng Guangyi a good look!" Lu Shengzhong waved his whip and chased after him. Eight thousand cavalrymen rode their horses past, and the horse's hooves rumbled, like thunder above his head, and the ground was shaking slightly.

In Fuyun Valley, Peng Guangyi's troops had arrived. Seeing that the mountains were full of enemy troops, the two armies immediately started fighting. Although Peng Guangyi's troops ran twenty miles, the soldiers knew that there was no way out and were very desperate, which caused great casualties from Zheng Tong's troops.

On the hillside, soldiers were chopping and slapping each other, and the bodies kept rolling down the hillside. The bodies at the foot of the mountain had piled up like mountains and blood flowed into a river.

Zheng Tong and Sima Chuchu were watching the battle situation on the top of the mountain. Sima Chuchu couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that Peng Guangyi's troops were so powerful in combat. We had the advantage of being condescending on the hillside, but we didn't have the upper hand. It seemed that the losses were going to be huge."

Zheng Tong drew out his long sword and said, "There is no choice now. I will lead the army to kill me!"

Sima Chuchu nodded. If the Hu army could not be suppressed in its momentum, it might have been defeated. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves like thunder came from a distance, and a group of cavalry waving their long and bright swords and rushed into the Hu army.

"Is this the cavalry of the Si army?" Sima Chuchu wondered how Qian Xiaoxing knew the situation of the battle here.

When Zheng Tong saw the cavalry waving their long swords, he immediately killed a bloody road in the middle of the Hu army, he couldn't help but say: "Damn, these cavalry are so powerful."

"With the help of Si Jun, I see that the Hu army is in a desperate situation. Let's hurry up and eliminate more Hu army and don't let Si Jun look down on it." Sima Chuchu suggested.

"Okay!" Zheng Tong looked at the fierce battle battlefield and had already become excited. He immediately went down to command the soldiers and the Hu army to slash and kill.

Peng Guangyi stood in the middle of the army, and there was hope to capture Zheng Tong's troops. When he saw the Si army cavalry coming behind, he couldn't help but be angry and cursed: "Qian Xiaoxing, why do you always go against me! I have to kill you."

After saying that, he led the infantry and rushed towards the cavalry of the army. Peng Guangyi cut off two cavalry of the army and shouted: "Qian Xiaoxing, I'm here, I'm here!"

Qian Xiaoxing looked at the battlefield calmly. When he saw someone among the infantry riding a horse, he said to Lu Shengzhong: "That's Peng Guangyi."

"It should be the main general, I'll meet him for a while." Lu Shengzhong waved his whip and led the cavalry and rushed over.

The two groups of people met together and started fighting immediately, but the infantry could beat the cavalry and were immediately killed.

Lu Shengzhong and Peng Guangyi also started to fight. In the shadow of swords and swords, the sound of ding weapons slashing each other endlessly.

When the two of them suppressed each other's swords, Lu Shengzhong said, "Peng Guangyi, don't resist, surrender quickly."

"Haha, today I didn't want to go back alive, kill one and make another. Stop talking nonsense, look at the sword!" Peng Guangyi's killing was already putting life and death aside.

After a "Ding!", Peng Guangyi's scarred bronze sword finally broke into two pieces.

"Surrender!" Lu Shengzhong advised again that if Peng Guangyi surrendered, his soldiers would surrender immediately, so he would kill less and his troops would lose less.

Peng Guangyi laughed wildly: "Do you want to catch me and humiliate me? No way! My family has been famous generals for generations and has never been a prisoner. How can I embarrass my family!"

Seeing his troops being attacked on both sides and without a trace of victory, Peng Guangyi was completely disappointed. He held the broken sword in his back hand and stroked his neck, and immediately gushed out blood, and the man fell under the horse.
