Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

There are two roads from Tangcang to Huanghuagu. The two roads extend from the same place and gather in another place. They lead to the same goal by different routes. Drawing on a blueprint is like drawing a dumpling. The road to the north is relatively winding, and the road to the south is the closest.

Luo Yanhuan and Wang Zhang, Du Yuhou of the Second Army led the army first; followed by Du Yuhou of the First Army. The deployment they got was: the fifth commander of Wang Zhang's department went around Tangcang Town to block the return of the Shu army; the fourth commander of the First Army then rushed to Huanghua Valley to face the Shu army from Tangcang Town.

It is about forty miles from Weiwu City to Huanghua Valley, and then around Tangcang Town for fifty miles. Luo Yanhuan and others must rush to Huanghua Valley before the Shu army, and then enter the northern valley road, otherwise they will encounter the Shu army and cannot form a pincer attack to expand the results.

They marched from outside Weiwu City, and before they had walked ten miles, night gradually fell, and Wang Zhang ordered an overnight march. It is easy to get lost when walking at night, but the army has Luo Yanhuan and local guides, and there is only one valley, so just walk along the river.

Luo Yanhuan's round forehead was bright, and his eyes were shining. He looks excited.

Wang Zhang in front turned his head and said, "Is Luo Paizhen the old department of Guo Dushi? All good things happen to you."

"Hey..." Luo Yanhuan neither admitted nor objected, but said, "We have to do this well to be credited, otherwise we will have to hunt waterfowls with bamboo baskets! We have found out about the military situation, and there are thousands of Shu troops in Tangcang Town. If we do it all together, then the credit, tsk tsk... Is Wang Duhou afraid that the credit is not enough? Don't worry, Guo Dushi is always fair, and he knows who is selling his life and who is stealing and cheating."

"That's it, that's it." Wang Zhang nodded hurriedly. No matter what this time, he has made a great contribution, and he will rely on the forward leader to ask for credit when he goes back. The size of the credit does not depend on Guo Du's opening his mouth. If he doesn't tell his superiors, who can he ask for boasting?

Everyone was afraid of exposing the target, so they didn't light the torch. Otherwise, the long line of fire dragons on the road would be too obvious. Fortunately, there is a crescent moon in the sky. People are used to this kind of light and can still see the road clearly. The road is white at night, so it’s okay to walk slowly. It is said that rural soldiers cannot walk at night, and their eyes are smeared at night, which is due to poor food; only a small number of professional soldiers in the Imperial Army have night blindness.

The river is rushing, sparkling in the moonlight. The air was chilly, it was the turn of spring and summer, and the valley was still cold at night; but Luo Yanhuan and the others didn't think that, wearing at least 20 to 30 catties of iron, carrying a few catties of weapons, and carrying wheat cakes for three days, even though it was said to be light and light, riding a horse was not cold, and walking soldiers might even sweat.

In the middle of the night, Luo Yanhuan could hear the occasional yawns of people in front and behind. He found it strange that he didn't feel sleepy at all, and now he might not be able to fall asleep even if he was asked to sleep, and he was very energetic.

Damn, a few months ago, I went to the idle office to make a living in misery every day. When I go back this time, what position do I have to get promoted? Luo Yanhuan felt that if he had time, he would go to fortune-telling... People in this world are just fortune-telling. A few years ago, who knew that the case of the Privy Envoy would be involved? Now he is on his way again, but he met a staff member by chance, and voted for the right person, which was totally unexpected.

Luo Yanhuan was thinking in his heart: when he was promoted, the mother-in-law would stop sneering at the old man every day, and the concubine wouldn't cry at every turn as if she was with the wrong person; she had to change to a better house.

In the middle of the night, all the troops stopped for a while, and ate cakes with river water and bacon. After a short rest, they were called to continue. Wang Zhang said that he was afraid that he would fall asleep after resting.

Before dawn, the army arrived at Huanghua Valley, and then went west along the road and got on the road. After entering the valley to the north, the sky was getting brighter, and Wang Zhang ordered to rest and eat cakes again.

Luo Yanhuan wiped his face with his hand, and cursed casually: "Your face is oily."

While chewing the cake, Wang Zhang said, "If you put it on the cake, it's a bit oily, isn't it?"

Human beings persevered, their endurance was amazing, they walked all night, and then started to walk again. Of course, we need to give everyone a reason to be patient, that is, there is a big reward for winning a battle.

Wang Zhang looked back at the road and called ten generals of an archery team: "Take two horses and hide at the intersection behind. If anyone who is alone passes here, catch them, and shoot them to death if they run away!"

Luo Yanhuan praised: "Wang Yuhou is thoughtful, maybe he can catch the scouts of the Shu army." Then he told the ten generals to change their guards and don't fall asleep.

When the sun was about to reach the sky, all the troops rushed to Tangcang Town. Luo Yanhuan followed Wang Zhang to the front, and first climbed up a hillside to watch. There was a wide and flat land, with green crops growing in the distance, and the crops were dotted with villages. At a glance, you can only see the shadow of the distant mountains. If you don’t pay attention, you may mistake it for the dark clouds in the sky. Compared with the valley on the road, this place is finally a good place.

"Zhang Dutou, take someone to rush to the southern intersection and seal it up for me." Wang Zhang looked at it for a while and then ordered. Then they sent out scouts on horseback to investigate the surrounding situation.

Then the various ministries entered the boundary of Tangcang Town one after another, and were deployed to Taniguchi in the south under the orders of Luo Yanhuan and others. In the village far away, there were still brave people watching over there, but Zhou Jun ignored them.

Guessing that the Shu army would not be able to come for a while, Wang Zhang arranged for the guards and ordered the whole army to rest. Everyone did not set up camp, but fell asleep on the ground. Luo Yanhuan was lying down, his forehead was shining brightly from the sun, he tore a handful of grass and piled it on his head, but he still couldn't fall asleep. He waited wholeheartedly for the arrival of the Shu army.

The worms in the wheat field just screamed "Zhizhi", and then the snoring was deafening all around, and Luo Yanhuan couldn't sleep even more.

When it was dusk, suddenly a sergeant in heavy armor ran fast and shouted: "The Shu army is back, and they are rushing about two miles away. There are too many people!"

Luo Yanhuan got up in a jerk, and said, "Wake up everyone, let's get to work!"

There was a burst of shouting from both sides of the valley, and people got up from the weeds and crops one after another. They didn't care about many people and lined up under the arrangement of the commanders and generals. The total strength of Wang Zhang's troops is 2,500, and there are people everywhere, and there are no banners, and they went on the road last night without bringing anything. The generals had no choice but to remember which commander was in which position, there was no sign at all, and everyone wore similar clothes.

The platoon envoy Luo Yanhuan ordered the commanders to ambush, and the troops on both sides were mobilized to the hillside of the valley mouth;

The second commander was mobilized behind a hill in front of the valley and assigned properly.

After the five commanders had deployed their troops, they came to gather on the hillside on the north side. Wang Zhang and Luo Yanhuan were standing on the slope leading their horses. Wang Zhang turned to look at Luo Yanhuan. Luo Yanhuan rubbed his round forehead and said, "When the Shu army reaches the front hill, the first and second commanders will rush out first. When the others see the front of the valley, they will rush forward and kill for a while. How does General Wang feel?"

Wang Zhang nodded and said: "I think it's okay. The Shu army came in panic and fled. They must have no intention of fighting. Just attack from three sides together!"

The crowd will disperse. It didn't take long before I heard the noise of the valley and the sound of messy footsteps. First, a few cavalry rushed out, and then saw a dense formation of infantry following behind. The flags were crookedly carried.

The cavalrymen in front had just walked up to the hill, when suddenly a general of the Zhou army jumped up and shouted: "Kill!" Suddenly, a group of armored soldiers swarmed up, and the formation was not neat.

Suddenly there was a dense sound of strings behind the mountain, and countless arrows were thrown into the air, flying towards the Shu army. Suddenly there were screams, and the cavalry in front reined in their horses and turned back.

At this moment, I suddenly saw crowds coming down from the hillsides on both sides. For a moment, the sound of killing was loud, and the soldiers ran and rushed.

After a while, the former army started fighting, and the Shu army was in a panic, retreating while fighting. Luo Yanhuan rushed out with the army on horseback, and saw many infantry and horsemen surrounding a general. Luo Yanhuan slapped his horse and rode in alone. Seeing this, Wang Zhang led his own soldiers to chase after him.

Seeing the horses rushing towards them, several Shu army infantry threw away their knives and guns, turned around and ran away. Luo Yanhuan raised his tasseled spear sideways, and stabbed a Shu soldier from behind.

The horse didn't stop sprinting, the saber didn't dance, and the blade hit a horseman with a "bang" sound, and blood splashed into the air immediately. The horse turned in a direction under force, Luo Yan made a small circle and continued to charge. The small guard cavalry was not afraid, and after a while, the two cavalry charged forward together. The sprints on both sides were already slow, Luo Yanhuan slashed left and right, killed one person, took advantage of the situation and raised his blood-stained saber to charge towards the general.

The general of the Shu army was terrified, his face frightened, at this moment, suddenly an arrow pierced through his pocket, and the general's expression froze there. Luo Yanhuan turned his head to look, and saw Wang Zhang rushing forward with his own soldiers, and shot the general ten paces away with an arrow, the bow was still in Wang Zhang's hand. Luo Yanhuan cursed, and charged up together with Wang Zhang and others, the cavalrymen of the Shu army fled immediately, and the infantry around them also threw away their helmets and armor and fled.

When a large group of people rushed to the mouth of the valley, many dropped their weapons and fell to the ground and begged for mercy. Seeing this, the generals and soldiers of the Shu army felt that the situation was over, and countless people knelt down and shouted for mercy. For a while, the valley fell to the ground like a large crop was blown by the wind, and the scene was very spectacular.

Luo Yanhuan grabbed a corpse's hair and lifted it up to ask the soldiers: "Who is this guy?"

A military general kneeling on the ground said: "Our main general, Wang Luan."
