Zhao Yun's brows did not loosen because of this, but instead tightened, and he said: "I also know, but according to the intelligence from the scouts, I am afraid that the Xia Family Army's army will arrive outside the city only tonight, and reinforcements will not be able to come in time."

Zhao Yun naturally didn't forget to ask the Xia family army just now.

According to the scout, the marching speed of the Xia family's army is obviously also marching in a hurry. Although it is not as fast as the scout's single horse, the speed is not slow. The fastest they can arrive is tonight. In this way, even the nearest

The town reinforcements can’t arrive that quickly!

Even though he said that, it was still necessary to ask for help. Zhao Yun even wrote a few letters asking for help and ordered his soldiers to send messengers to send them out. At the same time, Zhao Yun also wrote a battle report and sent a confidant to send it in person.

Jiangling. The Xia family army launched an attack on Quzhou. This matter is not trivial. Jiangling must be notified in time.

Zhang Xiao lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said: "Why don't we send out those five thousand light cavalry to get ahead of the enemy before they attack the city and catch him by surprise."

Zhang Xiao's idea made Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia very excited. Zhao Yun and Guan Tianxia looked at each other and nodded. Zhao Yun said: "This plan is feasible! Tianxia, ​​I will leave this matter to you."

Zhao Yun is the economic and strategic envoy of Jiangnan and Zhejiang. At such a critical moment, Zhao Yun must stay in Quzhou City. Besides Zhao Yun, only Guan Tianxia in Quzhou City is suitable for carrying out this task.

Guan Tianxia didn't take it off, he clenched his fist hard and said, "Okay! Don't worry. Just leave this matter to me."

Guan Tianxia and Zhao Yun have been working together for many years as comrades-in-arms. Zhao Yun also has special trust in Guan Tianxia. After hearing what Guan Tianxia said, Zhao Yun didn't agree, so he handed Qingqi's token to Guan Tianxia and said:

"Without further delay, Tianxia, ​​you must gather your troops and set out now. There is a Phoenix Slope thirty miles southeast of the city, which is where the enemy must pass when marching to Quzhou. You can seize it first.

Lead there and launch a surprise attack on the enemy, which will yield miraculous results."

"I can save it." Guan Tianxia is now considered a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. Naturally, he will not be confused about how to fight. The Phoenix Slope that Zhao Yun pointed out is actually the best ambush that Guan Tianxia has considered.

After receiving the token, Guan Tianxia clasped his fists at Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiao and shouted, "General, I'm going." After saying that, Guan Tianxia left the study room.

After watching Guan Tianxia leave, Zhang Xiao said to Zhao Yun again: "General, General Guan's ambush on the enemy this time may have a miraculous effect, but it will definitely not cause much damage to the enemy. Xia Cheng's men

We have many capable generals, and the generals we have sent for this massive attack on Quzhou are definitely not ordinary generals. According to my subordinates, we should make preparations to defend the city as early as possible." [

Zhao Yun nodded in agreement and said: "I also understand this. I have ordered the garrison in the city to guard the city gate strictly and be ready to fight at all times. Well, it's a pity that Yiming and the others have been transferred to the southwest. Otherwise, I could have more men.

Send out some helpers." What Zhao Yun said

, but it was the younger generation of generals such as Zhao Yiming who was under him at the time. However, as Zhao Yiming and others' achievements became greater and greater, naturally they could not stay in Quzhou for long. Now they have been assigned to hold important positions in various places in the south.

, has a bright future.

Hearing what Zhao Yun said, Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something, and he quickly said: "If the general wants help, it's not difficult to find him. Has the general forgotten the few people he sent from Jiangling a few years ago?"

Young people?"

"Huh?" Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then remembered what Zhang Xiao had pointed out, with a look of realization on his face, but soon Zhao Yun frowned again and said: "Those are too young, I don't know if it will work.

.And, except for the youngest who stayed in Quzhou, I sent the rest to Shaoxing and Lin'an and Hangzhou respectively."

Zhang Xiao immediately said: "Send that boy up first to test whether he is as powerful as your Excellency said. As for the remaining few, if they are really as capable as Generals as Your Excellency said, then

I will definitely be able to come to my aid in time to help Quzhou."

"Okay." Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment. After all, it is a bit risky to reuse a little devil at this critical moment. But now Zhao Yun really has people on hand, so he can only do what Zhang Xiao said.

.

On the other hand, Guan Tianxia did not dare to delay after receiving Zhao Yun's general order. He immediately went to the military camp, picked out the five thousand Qingqi, and headed straight out of the city towards Fenghuang Slope. Qingqi is known as the best cavalry in the world, even though it is so

have been for many years

They have not appeared on the battlefield in the Central Plains for a long time, but their strength has not declined at all. The Qingqi who stayed in Quzhou City are even more elite than other Qingqi. In less than an hour, Guan Tianxia led the Qingqi to catch up.

Arrive at Fenghuang Slope.

As Zhao Yun said before, the terrain of Fenghuang Slope is indeed very conducive to Qingqi raids. Fenghuang Slope is located to the east of the official road leading to Quzhou. The slope facing the official road is flat. Although there is some slope, it is not steep.

It was just right for the cavalry to launch an assault from the top of the slope. After Guan Tianxia led the Qingqi to Fenghuang Slope, he immediately ordered all five thousand Qingqi to lie in ambush on the top of the slope, waiting for the arrival of the Xia family army.

About two hours later, as the sky gradually turned into dusk, a faint sound of horse hooves could be heard from the south of the official road. This sound of horse hooves was like a steel needle piercing the pipe.

Guan Tianxia's body made Guan Tianxia energetic. Guan Tianxia immediately shouted to the Qingqi soldiers on the left and right: "The enemy has arrived. Prepare to fight!"

The soldiers of the Qingqi were all selected into the Qingqi after rigorous training. Although they had been lying in wait on the top of the slope for a little longer, there was no reaction at all for them. After hearing Guan Tianxia's words

After giving the order, each of these soldiers lifted their spears and placed them across their chests. At the same time, they lowered the masks on their helmets, leaving only pairs of eyes shining with cold light.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Guan Tianxia listened carefully. I was afraid that the number of soldiers and horses coming was no less than five thousand. And they must be all cavalry. Guan Tianxia's heart sank and he ran away from Xia's army.

Needless to say, the large number of cavalry that came out must be the Qi cavalry that surrendered to Xia Cheng.

At that time, this group of cavalry was the ace unit under Qi Emperor Liu Yu. However, since Qi Emperor Liu Yu was defeated and died, Hu Zhuge took all the remaining cavalry and defected to Xia Cheng's account. Now the Qi cavalry has changed its appearance and become Xia Cheng's cavalry.

Xia Cheng's ace unit. And Xia Cheng actually sent cavalry this time. Obviously, he was bound to win this sneak attack on Quzhou.

After some changes in his mind, Guan Tianxia raised his palms, but did not issue an order to dispatch. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the official road in front. I saw a faint flying sky to the south of the official road.

The dust is a sign that a large number of soldiers and horses are coming.

After the troop of soldiers and horses came closer, Guan Tianxia could see from the large river of dust that there were many cavalrymen in the dust. Guan Tianxia rolled his eyes, but he looked down upon the soldiers on his left and right.

He shouted: "Don't do anything, stay hidden."

With the order of Guan Tianxia, ​​the soldiers on light cavalry naturally did not move. They took a few steps back and each found a place to hide their figures. It was dusk now, and the light was not very good.

Due to the distance and the cover of the terrain, once the soldiers hid like this, the enemy really had no way of discovering their whereabouts.

Not long after, at least three or four thousand cavalrymen passed through the official road in a mighty manner. The long team arranged a neat formation, and Guan Tianxia couldn't help but sigh. In Xia Cheng's hands, these cavalrymen were even more powerful.

It's getting more and more powerful. And Guan Tianxia also looked carefully. The general leading the cavalry was none other than the Xia Family Army general Yang Huai whom he had seen outside Gong'an City.[

Guan Tianxia's eyes narrowed, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he paid no attention to the intentions of this group of cavalry. He turned his head and looked to the south of the official road. Guan Tianxia believed that this cavalry was just the vanguard of the Xia family's army.

Sent out to explore the way.

If the Qingqi attacks rashly, not only will it not cause much damage to the Xia family's cavalry, which is also part of the Qingqi army, but it will actually scare the enemy. Therefore, Guan Tianxia also deliberately lets the cavalry pass, and his target will pass by here soon.

The main force of Xia Jiajun's army.

Sure enough, a larger army soon appeared in Guan Tianxia's field of vision, and after seeing this Xia Family Army army, Guan Tianxia couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, because the size of the army in front of him was too big.

Guan Tianxia looked around and saw densely packed soldiers stretching along the official road to the horizon. He secretly estimated that this army numbered as many as 100,000 people.

"Humph! An army of one hundred thousand. It seems that Xia Thief has really put in a lot of effort." Guan Tianxia was not an ordinary person after all. After a brief moment of surprise, Guan Tianxia smiled coldly and looked around at the soldiers.

He smiled and said: "Brothers! This time we can kill as much as we can. Are you afraid?"

No one answered Guan Tianxia's words, but Guan Tianxia got the answer from their eyes. Guan Tianxia smiled, waved the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand, put it behind his back, and headed towards the Xia Jiajun army on the road of General Po Mo.

Looking around, at this time, the Xia family army had already walked nearly a third of the distance. Looking at the densely packed soldiers, Guan Tianxia raised his head high and shouted: "Charge!"

Following Guan Tianxia's shout, the five thousand light cavalry soldiers took out their weapons one after another. Under the leadership of Guan Tianxia, ​​the soldiers mounted their horses and charged towards the enemy down the hillside.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Naturally, the Xia Family Army would not miss such a big movement. With the shouts of the Xia Family Army soldiers, more and more Xia Family Army soldiers turned to look at the sudden appearance of the Xia Family Army soldiers on the hillside.

Enemy. Obviously, the sudden appearance of the enemy caused most of the Xia Family Army officers to panic. Especially when they saw the crazy charging momentum of the Qingqi, many of them were frightened and did not know how to deal with it.

"Bastard! Form the array! Form the array for me!" A shout rang out, and a Xia Jiajun general was seen shouting loudly with a broadsword in his hand. However, when he found that his shouts had no effect, he stopped.

He shouted with his mouth alone. He raised the knife and slashed the sides.

Looking at the heads of the two soldiers who were in a daze, the general yelled angrily: "You all must obey my orders to get in formation. Otherwise, this will be your fate." This general was none other than Xia Shanyue, a descendant of the Xia family.

He was also one of the generals who raided Quzhou on Xia Cheng's orders.

Xia Shanyue's act of killing chickens to scare monkeys really worked. When the Xia Shanyue soldiers saw Xia Shanyue actually killing people, they couldn't help but shudder, and they all followed Xia Shanyue's order to form a formation to meet the enemy. But they started to line up now.

But it's a little late.

Before the Xia Family Army was ready, Guan Tianxia rushed into the Xia Family Army's formation. He said "Hey", drew a circle in the air with his three-pointed two-edged sword, and in a blink of an eye, he killed more than ten Xia Family Army soldiers around Guan Tianxia.

Their heads were chopped off. Guan Tianxia took the lead, and five thousand Qingqi also rushed into the Xia family army's formation and started a crazy massacre.

"Asshole!" Seeing that the morale of the army that he had finally calmed down was being charged by the enemy and showing signs of critical collapse, Xia Shanyue's eyes opened angrily and he directly approached the enemy general Guan Tianxia while brandishing his sword.

He fell down and yelled angrily: "Thieves! Take my knife."

Xia Shanyue is considered a very good talent among the children of the Xia family, and his sword skills have been taught by experts, so he is considered outstanding. Unfortunately, the opponent Xia Shanyue faced this time was already a martial artist many years ago.

Learn from the master to govern the world.

When Guan Tianxia saw Xia Shanyue's sword coming down, his pair of inverted triangular eyes immediately flashed with a cold light of contempt. Then, Guan Tianxia turned his wrist, and the three-pointed two-edged sword suddenly seemed to be in his hand.

It transformed into a long whip and whipped towards Xia Shanyue's wrist in a curved way.

Guan Tianxia's move was as weird as usual. Xia Shanyue pulled his hand out from under the blade of the three-pointed double-edged sword with great difficulty. Xia Shanyue could even clearly feel the cold light on the blade. A feeling in his heart

Shocked, Xia Shanyue stared at Guan Tianxia with wide eyes. He never expected that Guan Tianxia was such a master.

Although Xia Shanyue was impulsive, he was not a fool. Knowing that he was outmatched, Xia Shanyue would not risk his life. He immediately turned around and ran away.

"Hmph! You coward." Seeing Xia Shanyue running away like this, Guan Tianxia did not chase after him. Instead, he snorted coldly, commanded the Qingqi to turn around, faced the enemy in the south, and continued to launch an attack. But Xia Shanyue

This escape also affected the morale of the Xia Family Army. Even the generals on their side ran away. How could these soldiers be expected to fight bravely against the enemy? Suddenly, the morale of the Xia Family Army soldiers was low and it was difficult to resist.

"Kill——!" After turning around, Guan Tianxia became the vanguard of Qingqi. The three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand stabbed towards the enemy in front of him like a violent storm. Guan Tianxia was killed by Guan Tianxia.

Led by Guan Tianxia, ​​Qingqi sprinted a full distance of nearly 700 steps. At least thousands of enemy soldiers died under them and were trampled to death.

"How dare you do this, thief?" A loud shout suddenly sounded from behind. After Guan Tian killed a Xia family soldier with one sword, he turned around and saw a general suddenly coming out from behind the Qingqi, roaring and heading towards him.

They rode over to kill him, and Guan Tianxia recognized him. He was also an acquaintance from the public security war, General Di Hu of the Xia Family Army.

Guan Tianxia curled his lips. Although he looked down on Di Hu, he also knew that this Di Hu was not comparable to the previous Xia Shanyue. If he waited for him to enter the Qingqi army, his subordinates would not be able to restrain him.

.when

Guan Tianxia then reined in the reins and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "You charge forward another five hundred steps and then you will come back. I'll go meet that guy!" After saying that, Guan Tianxia clamped his legs and let go.
Chapter completed!
