Looking at the blood-red morning glow in the sky, Xia Shuzheng patted the black horse and sat down, and then looked at Yang Zhao who stood in front of him like a statue.

The solemn cavalry was densely lined up in the forest, and the icy spear blades reflected the gorgeous morning sun, shining a little bit of broken light in the forest. Although they only rested for two hours, the soldiers' eyes were full of bloodthirsty light of excitement.

Waiting for the city gate to open, waiting for the tall and straight man standing at the front to lead them to another victory.

Yang Zhao looked at the soldiers at the top of the city yawning, stretching their waists and squinting their eyes half-closed their eyes to look around, then walked down the tower, slightly raised the spear in his hand, and when the city gate creaked open, he lifted it vigorously. He raised his spear and slapped the horse's arm, and the black horse shot out like an arrow.

The soldier who pushed the door open and was still yawning felt as if he had turned over without opening his eyes. The sky was turning and he saw his headless body.

There are not many guards in Hunyuan County, and the 1,000 guards were cleared away in less than two quarters of an hour.

They robbed the food, polluted the water source, burned the granary, and without any stop, the 20,000 cavalry rushed directly to Guangling, which was their goal.

From Hunyuan to Guangling County is a highland mountain range. Along the way, the mountain gorge is winding and undulating. On both sides of the gorge, there are green peaks and mountain springs. Brilliant, foxes, roe deer and other animals come and go in the stream.

The cavalry formation was led by the scouts who had already scouted the road and galloped down the mountain path, startling the mountain birds flying away.

Yang Zhao rode his horse and followed the scouts closely, crossed mountains and ridges, and leaped over mountain streams. The speed of the horse remained unabated. When his eyes suddenly became bright, he passed through the mountains. In front of him was the Huliuhe Wetland and Guangling Basin.

"General!" A horse ran up from the foot of the mountain, and immediately the plainclothes scouts shouted: "Guangling's garrison has left the city!"

Yang Zhao looked in the direction of Guangling County, and said, "Take a rest on the spot for a quarter of an hour! If you drink water, eat and pee, go!"

Guangling has more than 10,000 garrisons, and they are also subordinates of Yeluqi in Weizhou. They must go out of the city to support Weizhou.

"It's just right, we don't need to attack the city." Xia Shuzheng ate cakes and drank water and spoke correctly.

Yang Zhao smiled. He had never thought of attacking Guangling County. The first two cities were attacking him by surprise, and he was sure that Shan Fu wanted to eat him, so he would not be so anxious to attack him. However, the city walls of Guangling County Strong and very close to Weizhou, he only wanted to destroy their vitality, and would not attack such a troublesome city.

"The scenery here is nice. I will bring Qingyu to play when I have time." Yang Zhao took out a pancake from the cloth pouch on the horse's back, took a bite, and stared down the mountain without getting off the horse.

"Will you guys come back?" Xia Shuzheng paused and asked.

Yang Zhao smiled and did not answer. He grew up in Heishuiguan since he was a child, and participated in hundreds of battles here. Many brothers and friends who grew up and fought side by side are buried in this place. It's impossible without souvenirs, some things have already melted into his bones and blood, so six years ago, he came back without hesitation, but he almost lost the most important person, who was more important than his flesh and blood than his life. Since he was twelve years old, he has devoted his life to Dazhou and Heishuiguan for more than ten years. After fighting this battle, he has an explanation for Dazhou and his responsibilities. In the future, he only hopes to be with him By that person's side, life is hers, and death is also hers.

The Zhao family's new army is a pit, and Xiao Sui also dug a pit, but so what, let me show you how strong I, Yang Zhao, and my army at Heishuiguan are!

"Marshal!" Zhao Mingliang's staff said in a very relaxed state, waving their fans: "We can leave the Xinzhou area after turning over the mountain in front of us, and we can enter the Weizhou Plain in one day. The state man is in the bag!"

Looking at the seemingly endless army formation behind him, Zhao Mingliang twitched his mouth and laughed. In order to prevent Xiao Sui from playing ghosts, he left half of his people to confront Xiao Sui's Guizhou camp in Guizhou, and only brought ten soldiers with him. The 50,000 elite come over, and after Weizhou and the Xin army are encircled, the 150,000 people there will pretend to be attacked by Xiao Sui and retreat to Youzhou, and they can retreat from Jinpoguan, so that they don't need to waste any troops. He and Xiao Sui could both benefit. As for the troops of Shuozhou and Yunzhou, they would naturally go to clean up Yang Zhao who was trapped in Ying County or Guangling County.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The dull sound of war drums sounded from the distant mountain, and the sound echoed in the mountain gorge like a piece, which was deafening.

Zhao Mingliang's face changed suddenly, seeing a scout horse galloping towards him in the distance, he waved his hands and shouted: "Stop advancing!"

"Marshal!" The scout shouted loudly: "There is an ambush! There is an ambush ahead!"

Zhao Mingliang's face turned pale, and he heard a fast horse from the rear calling all the way over: "Marshal Marshal!"

"Why panic!" Zhao Mingliang shouted loudly.

"Xinzhou! The Liao army in the Xinzhou camp is dispatched!" The scouts shouted.

There was a sudden panic in the team.

Hello Xiao Sui!

"Withdraw! Withdraw!" Zhao Mingliang ordered loudly.

"Marshal, what about the new army in Weizhou?!" Gao Wenhe asked anxiously beside him. Withdrawing now, we have to face the army of Xinzhou in the back. There are 150,000 troops here. Even if there is an ambush ahead, there is a plain across the mountains, and we can still fight together with the new army.

"A hundred thousand of them can't defeat fifty thousand of them!" Zhao Mingliang turned his horse's head and said, "We can't be made dumplings by others, retreat quickly!" Just kidding, my hundreds of thousands of troops are going to seize the country, why? Can be consumed by Xiao Sui here.

The front team changed to the rear team, and it was an order to retreat, which immediately caused confusion in the army.

"Your Majesty! Then Zhao Mingliang really retreated!" the general of the Liao army ran up the hill and shouted loudly.

Xiao Sui lay on the cushion and looked at the greenery in the valley, snorted, and said, "Chen Rui, go chase and play."

"Yes!" Chen Rui responded, got on his horse, and ran down the mountain with his followers.

"Your Majesty..." Looking at Xiao Sui who had no desire to get up, the staff member wiped his sweat and called out.

"The Zhao family has too many soldiers, and if they are ruthless, they will bite back. Drive them away for a day, and let's go eat the 100,000 people in Weizhou." Xiao Sui threw a stone down the valley and said, "It's just right, go too. Meet Yang Zhao."

The gray-brown army brought up bursts of dust, and the brilliant spring flowers that were in full bloom were trampled into mud by the rushing hooves of the horses.

Lying on the big tree at the edge of the forest, looking at the tens of thousands of troops running wildly and screaming with evil spirits, Ying Jiu was suddenly a little unsure whether he was right or wrong in sending Ling Qingyu here, so Yang Zhao, will he win the fight?

"Nine?" The army in front made the big tree they were in shake. Seeing that Ying Jiu's face was pale, beads of sweat rolled down his face, and his lips were about to be bitten to bleed, Ling Qingyu whispered worriedly. One sound.

"Nothing!" Yingjiu returned her reassuring smile, touched the medicine bag with her hand, and chose between the three remaining pills inside, but withdrew her hand. It's not yet the time for the final battle. The pain can be tolerated, so let's save it for the last time.

The grey-brown Liao Army team had just passed by, and the ground had not stopped shaking. There was a more violent vibration, and the sound of horseshoes roared from a distance. It seemed as if a red cloud was floating across the horizon, and rushed towards the rear of the Liao Army. past.

In front of that piece of red cloud was a man with a black horse and red armor. The red cloak floated in a straight line while galloping, and the silver gun in his hand shone dazzlingly in the afternoon spring sun.

The advancing Liao army turned around in a panic, and the infantry put their spears on the shields, forming a line of defense layer by layer. The cavalry who had already run to the front also turned around to turn around, but the infantry blocked the way.

"Puff puff puff!" The rain of arrows shot by the crossbow knocked down the Liao army in front, and the Liao army behind them hurriedly made up for the gap. A black horse had already jumped high, and the spear in the knight's hand was spinning like a circle. The autumn wind swept away the crowded Liao soldiers like falling leaves. When the black horse landed, the knight stabbed and stabbed the surrounding Liao soldiers with a saber in his left hand and a silver spear in his right, killing the surrounding Liao soldiers out of an open space.

Then more knights leaped into the group of Liao soldiers, their spears gleaming coldly, and their waist knives glowing with blood.

The weak line of defense of the Liao army was torn apart immediately, and the soldiers who had no time to escape were directly trampled under the horses by the horses rushing over from behind.

The leading red-armored knight was like an invincible sharp knife, and the silver gun shone like a god of death under the sunlight, leading the knights behind to cut up the Liao soldiers like cutting cakes. When the cavalry rushed into the battlefield, it seemed to be a one-sided massacre.

The man's moves are not like their exquisite moves and martial arts, but open and close. When stretching and shrinking, the long spear pierces a little cold light, and when the palm is turned, the long spear dances out great damage. The enemies around him fell to the ground one by one like felled rice.

Among them, even Lu Yao, who had the highest martial arts, could not reap lives so calmly in such a crowd.

For the first time, Ying Jiu had respect for Yang Zhao, which was the respect a warrior pays to a strong man.

In this way, even if I die, he will be able to protect her back. Looking at the blood-red morning glow in the sky, Xia Shuzheng patted the black horse and sat down, and then looked at Yang Zhao who stood in front of him like a statue.

The solemn cavalry was densely lined up in the forest, and the icy spear blades reflected the gorgeous morning sun, shining a little bit of broken light in the forest. Although they only rested for two hours, the soldiers' eyes were full of bloodthirsty light of excitement.
