The mysterious cavalry that appeared on Qishan Road was the Dihu cavalry coming from Baishui. Di king Yang Qianwan received the order from Cao Cao and personally led 20,000 cavalry to Tianshui County to support Cao's army. At the same time, he ordered his nephew Yang to lead 2,000 cavalry to enter the hinterland of Qishan along Baishui and attack the Han army's ration road.

For the Di and Qiang people, it is not difficult to move in the Qishan area in winter. They have long been accustomed to marching in the snow-capped mountainous areas. They can find grass covered with heavy snow. They have strong survivability and are keen, and they keep avoiding the Han army's patrols. Finally, they successfully raided the station and the grain delivery team under construction at night.

At this time, the Dihu cavalry had retreated from the hinterland of Qishan along the Baishui River, but they did not leave, but lurked like wolves, preparing to enter Qishan Road for the second time to attack the Han army's ration team.

Yang was about ten years old, with a figure of eight feet and a tiger's back and bear's waist, his eyes were bulging, bloodshot, and his appearance was very ferocious. He used a long-handled copper hammer weighing 60 kilograms, which was inappropriate. He was a famous general among the Di people. He was not only extremely brave, but also cunning. He had been hunting in the mountainous areas of Longxi for many years and had rich ambush experience.

At this time, Yang Ji led his subordinates to hide in a valley about fifty miles away from Qishan West Road. They built a white tent in the valley. The entrance to the valley was narrow and surrounded by cliffs. In addition, the color of the big tent and the heavy snow were blended into one, making it difficult for them to be discovered.

This time, Yang Zheng brought a total of 1,000 people, including one thousand of the most elite cavalry. In addition, the rest of the people were the supply team. After the first attack was successful, they also knew that the Han army would send troops to clear the attack. At this time, they hid themselves and patiently waited for a second chance.

In front of a large tent, two tentmen were waiting patiently. From the tent, the man's rough roar and the woman's cry came faintly. On the other side, more than a dozen personal soldiers were waiting anxiously, like a group of vultures waiting for the leftover meat.

At this time, the sound in the big tent stopped, followed by a cry of wail. A young woman was thrown out of the big tent. More than a dozen personal soldiers rushed over, grabbed the woman, and snatched her into the tent next to her amid the cry of the woman. Soon, a grim laughter covered the woman's cry.

"Come in and report" a fierce voice came from the big tent.

The two Investigators looked at each other and walked into the big tent timidly. The tent was covered with animal skins and all kinds of property were piled up in a mess. A strong man was picking up his skin and pouring wine into his mouth. He was disheveled with hair, dark skin, and was wearing his upper body. He had only one animal skin tied with his lower body. His eyes were bulging and his eyes were covered with blood. He looked back at the two Investigators fiercely, "What's the news?"

The two Investigators quickly knelt down and reported to the Investigators: "We found a Han army heading south in Qishan City, with about 6,000 people coming towards Baishui."

"Damn it, it's not stupid"

Yang Chi cursed, and he suddenly drank two sips of strong wine, and a touch of wine stain on his lips said coldly: "Continue to monitor them, be careful not to expose their whereabouts."

"Yes" the two Investigators agreed and hurriedly left the tent.

Yang Zheng was not worried about the Han army. He knew that the Han army could not find this valley. As long as he escaped this investigation, he would attack the grain team again. The Han army's grain trucks were good. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to use it, so they could only seize the food and destroy it. At this time, he suddenly felt a little regretful that the woman should not have been to his subordinates, and she had to hide for a while. How could she survive without a woman?

As soon as he stood up, he saw a long scream from a woman from the next camp. Yang Qi cursed softly, "A bunch of bastards." He had to sit down again, staring at the ground fiercely, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Baishui originates from the Qinling Mountains, crosses the Qishan area, and flows to Longxi County. Finally, it is injected into Taoshui. Most of the river sections of Baishui flow through the mountainous areas. The water flows rapidly and the two sides are steep and difficult to move. It is impossible to use the riverbed to travel west in spring and summer. However, in winter, the river water has a thick layer of ice and is covered with heavy snow, forming an ice path from Longxi County to enter the hinterland of Qishan.

Under the pale moonlight, a team of more than ones was marching west along the Baishui River. This army was a team sent by the Eagle Strike Army. It was Ren Ping, who was promoted to a general because of his great contribution to capturing Licheng.

He also became famous in the Han army for the Battle of Licheng. He was particularly good at using fire and climbing rocks, which earned him the nickname of Fire Ape, making him the number one figure in the Eagle Strike Army after the Eagle Monkey Liu Zheng and Deputy General Wu Ban.

The task of the Eagle Strike Army is to find the whereabouts of the Dihu cavalry on both sides of Baishui. Since there are high mountains and ridges on both sides of Baishui, there are so many seats that can be hidden in the valleys alone. If you want to find an army that is deliberately hidden within a range of several miles, you are undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

It was already dark at this time, and the moonlight was particularly bright. It sprinkled a layer of silver on the strange rocks and mountains on both sides. Walking onto the ice, waves of biting cold came from under your feet. Although the Eagle Strike Army was stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, they were still trembling all over.

At this moment, a soldier pointed to the mountainside and shouted, "Boss, look over there."

Ren Ping also saw a bright spot on the hillside, not caused by moonlight, but fire. He waved his hand and whispered: "Go up"

The soldiers quickly left the ice and climbed up the thick snow-covered mountain path. Soon after, they climbed halfway up the mountain. Only then did they find that there was a newly built thatched hut hidden halfway up the mountain, but the hut had been destroyed, the earthen wall collapsed halfway, the things in the house were cut to pieces, and some clothes were torn into cloth strips.

There was an oil lamp on the niche on the wall, igniting a flame as big as a bean. The light I just saw was it, but there was no one around. Ren Ping looked at the oil lamp. It was impossible for more than one person to find no light. It only means that it was discovered by soldiers just after it was lit.

So where have people been hiding

Ren Ping suddenly turned around and ordered: "Look for me around."

The soldiers searched around the house separately. At this moment, a black shadow jumped down from the rocks and ran down the mountain like a monkey.

"Catch him there."

The soldiers surrounded the shadow from all sides and quickly blocked the shadow. Although the shadow was extremely agile, he was facing the Eagle Strike Army, the most elite soldier in the Han army. He roared like a wild beast and wanted to rush out, but was knocked down by the soldier, pressed him down, took away the knife in his hand, and tied him up.

Ren Ping slowly walked up to him and then he saw clearly that he was a young man in his twenties, with a medium figure and a very strong appearance. He looked like a Han man, but his eyes were full of deep hatred, and his white teeth showed, as if he wanted to bite Ren Ping to death.

"Who are you?" Ren Ping felt that he was not like the Cao army's sergeant, but like a woodcutter or hunter in the Qishan Mountains.

The man's eyes were blood-red, and he roared like a beast in his throat. He struggled desperately. Ren Ping was furious and slapped him twice with his backhand, "Are you crazy?"

The man seemed to have woken up a little, and then he looked at Ren Ping for a while, and asked in a hoarse voice: "You are not a Hu person."

"We are Han Army, you should know."

The anger in the man's eyes quickly subsided. He grinned and suddenly burst into tears. His whole body shrank into a ball. Ren Ping had realized that this man had seen Di Hu, which was an important line. Di Hu must have been wearing Cao Jun's armor, so he thought he was also Cao Jun.

Ren Pingren cried almost all the time, then patted his shoulder and said softly: "We are also chasing Dihu, they should ruin your home."

He ordered the soldiers to let him go, and then squatted beside him and said, "Tell us something, maybe we can help you."

The young man finally told him intermittently about his misfortune. He was originally a doctor named Lin Jin who lived in Licheng. He opened a pharmacy shop with his father in Licheng, with a young wife and a young and cute son.

Last year, the Han army attacked Licheng for the first time. The whole family escaped. His father broke his waist while running away and could not move. They temporarily built a thatched hut here to heal his father and take care of him for recovery. The family relied on him to hunt and collect herbs for a living.

Just four days ago, he came back from hunting, but found that the hut was destroyed, his father and son were killed, and his wife disappeared, and he searched everywhere like crazy. Two days ago, he accidentally discovered a Hu man who captured the man and learned from him where his wife was going, and was kidnapped by the Hu man. His father and son were also killed by this Hu man cavalry.

He killed the Hu Rendan, seized his bow and arrows and knife, and was about to go home to find something, but was caught by the Han army. At this time, the young man's eyes were already crying, and there was only deep hatred left in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and whispered: "My wife will be ruined and killed if she falls into their hands. I have no other thoughts in my life except to take revenge."

Ren Ping was filled with sympathy and sighed: "This Di cavalry attacked our grain transport team and killed several people. We were also ordered to find them and annihilate them in one fell swoop."

The young man looked at Ren Ping and shook his head, "You are fewer people, so you are not their opponents."

Ren Ping smiled, "We are looking for their whereabouts. The specific battle is not us, but another Han army, with thousands of people, but we can't find their hiding place yet."

After a while, the young man whispered: "Maybe I know where they are hiding."

The six thousand elite Han army arrived at Qishan City under the leadership of Ma Dai and Wang Ping. Qishan City is a newly built military city with a circumference of about eight miles and is located south of the former Cao army's Qishan Fort. The city wall is 1,000 troops stationed. The military city is mainly used to store grain and is an important part of the Han army's food transportation system.

It was already late at this time. Wang Ping and Ma Dai discussed it and decided to spend the night in Qishan City. Just as they were about to enter the city, a soldier shouted: "General Wang, General Ma, and the Eagle Fighting Army have sent people to deliver the letter."

"Take him up"

After a moment, an Eagle Strike soldier was taken up and knelt down on one knee to convey a note, "This is the emergency information of my general."

Wang Ping took the note and read it quickly under the fire. He couldn't help but say to Ma Dai happily: "They have found the enemy's hiding place."
