The handwriting is a bright red color, containing a shocking and terrifying fluctuation.

Is the other party the author?

Did he want to use this method to locate the bamboo slips and find my traces, or was it just a provocation... Huo Qubing thought about it, what if he knew the location?

You have to fight to know who the hunter is...

"I'll wait for you, if you dare to come!"

The writing flickered for a moment, then disappeared, and the bamboo slips no longer had any fluctuations.

The two-hour rest period ended soon.

In the early morning, the entire team set off again. The traces of the camp last night on the ground, including horse dung, were buried on the spot. Even if someone passed by, it would be difficult to tell that a team of thousands of people had stayed here for two hours.

After the team set off, they headed straight for Jiangxia County.

————

On a July afternoon, the sun was brilliant.

"The two generals discovered the incoming Chang'an Guards team one hundred and seventy miles west of the county town. A scout came back through a secret post."

A Huainan Army came to report to Jinchang and Zuo Wu.

They are still located at the local army barracks in Jiangxia County.

Garrison camps in various places will be built outside the city. In wartime, if the city needs to be defended, all troops will retreat into the city.

Zuo Wu and Jinchang united with the Huainan local army of 6,000 people controlled by Liu An, and together with the diners from the palace they brought, there were more than 7,000 people in total.

According to the information received, the guard force that attacked them from Chang'an was less than a thousand people.

Zuo Wu and Jinchang were confident and ready to eat each other.

With seven times the strength of the opponent, he was well prepared and had a clear advantage.

They don't think they have a chance of losing.

Of course, they will not underestimate the enemy because of this. Both of them have sufficient combat experience.

"Looking at the direction of that team, it's not heading towards our Jiangxia. It's more like they want to cross Jiangxia without entering and go straight to the Lujiang River." Huainan Army continued.

Zuo Wu and Jinchang were a little surprised.

This is different from the news I got.

"Is the other party using it as a deception? Or is the news that they received that they are attacking Jiangxia false?"

After ordering the messenger to go and investigate again, Zuo Wu frowned and said, "They crossed Jiangxia without entering and went straight to Lujiang River. What do you think?"

"The scouts are investigating. They are marching southeast, and their destination can only be Lujiang County." Jinchang said.

"Lujiang County was once cleaned up because of the discovery of Zonghengdao. It is the weakest county among the several counties we control now, and the power of King Huai is the weakest.

Your Majesty asked us to stop the enemy here because we don’t want the other party to reach Lujiang County and avoid misfortune." Zuo Wu responded.

Jinchang nodded slightly, it seemed that the other party was indeed deceiving. After leaving Chang'an, the news they got was probably the smoke released by the other party to confuse them.

The real purpose of this team is to go to Lujiang County, and then use it as a transit point to coordinate with other Han armies. By then, Huainan's team, which came to Jiangxia County in advance to meet the enemy, will be attacked from both sides, and the situation will be unfavorable.

This is also in line with the logic that the opponent's soldiers are small and one should not confront them head-on.

"Good plan."

"I'm afraid that team already knew that we were here to block the attack, so they didn't confront our army head-on. Instead, they used a roundabout march strategy! They wanted to win with a surprising force."

Zuo Wu chuckled and said: "The scouts' news said that they are still a hundred miles away. If you want to go to the Lujiang River, you must take the railing crossing seventeen miles to the east of us."

"You mean to take the initiative and attack?"

"Yes, they have come from a long way. We have recharged our batteries and have enough soldiers. If we attack, we will be able to hit the enemy hard with one blow."

"What should we do with the order that Your Majesty told us to stick to?"

"As the situation changes, sticking to your guns will only lead to missed opportunities.

Only mediocre people will stand firm at this time. If your Majesty knew the situation, he would also agree with our decision.

We have seven thousand people. Even if we divide our troops into two places, we still have a chance of winning. Why don't you leave three thousand people to defend, and I will lead the rest of the troops to attack and kill all the invading enemies." Zuo Wu pursed his lips, and the victory was close at hand.

.

"good!"

Jinchang pondered for a moment and said: "Then mobilize the troops immediately and don't let that team run away."

The two handed down the order and the soldiers quickly prepared. Half an hour later, thousands of people lined up outside the camp, filled with murderous intent.

"Ready to go!"

Zuo Wu was responsible for leading the team, while Jinchang stayed behind.

The teams that were getting ready outside the camp separated themselves in a single formation, and under Zuo Wu's order, set off to the south.

In the blink of an eye, the dust was flying, and the team in front started to leave.

At this moment, Zuo Wu and Jinchang felt an inexplicable palpitation in their hearts.

The location of the military camp is in an open area. To facilitate the observation, the nearby trees have been cut down and there is no place to hide people. However, there seems to be a sense of chill in the surrounding air, which makes people unknowingly feel nervous.

.

Zuo Wu and Jinchang looked around, their expressions serious.

Apart from the sound of their team's hooves, even the clouds in the sky seemed to be still, and not even a single bird could be seen high in the sky.

"wrong!"

Zuo Wu is proficient in the art of war. The situation at this moment made him and Jinchang subconsciously think of the team from Chang'an... The energy in the vicinity is clearly transforming into the battlefield where the two armies are confronting each other!

Could it be that I made a wrong judgment before?

That team is not going to Lujiang?!

...The thoughts that suddenly emerged made the two people's feelings about the team become a little blurry, and it was difficult to accurately judge the terrain.

At this moment, they suddenly heard the thunderous sound of hoofbeats.

The sound was extremely sudden, as if someone suddenly beat a heavy drum in an otherwise silent environment!

Boom boom boom!

The sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground made the ground tremble, and countless gravels beat with the sound of the hooves.

Jinchang and Zuo Wu immediately saw a scene that shocked and unforgettable them!

Just on the left wing of the military camp, less than two hundred feet away, a team rushed out of the mist that had drifted in with the wind at some unknown time.

Everyone was wearing fine armor and holding sharp spears. They had been ready to charge in the mist, and they came out with great speed. Howling like the wind, they formed a cone-shaped formation and rushed toward the departing troops of the Huainan Army.

The Han army is really here, coming to attack the camp head-on... Zuo Wu and Jinchang thought in shock.

Then the two men shouted: "There is an enemy attack, the enemy is attacking, turn around and form a formation to respond to the enemy!"

At this time, they saw the fighting team, riding on a tall horse, a general wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, his eyes were like lightning, and he pointed in their direction.

The general immediately rushed out a small team from one side to the left and attacked the two men.

Jinchang and Zuo Wu observed the enemy's situation, but quickly regained their composure.

When they saw that the team only had a few hundred soldiers, the two men immediately understood why the scouts' information was untrue. Even though the team only had a thousand soldiers, they still dared to divide their troops to confuse the enemy.

What the scouts saw was a part of the soldiers that they had used military skills to conceal their true number, galloping past towards the Lujiang River.

That team is there to mislead them!

The other part of the Han army was hiding its traces, and it was the team that suddenly appeared in front of them and attacked them.

The leader of the Han army wants to use hundreds of people to attack the defenders of the Jiangxia military camp?

After Zuo Wu and Jinchang figured out the reason, they both felt angry.

"I've heard that Huo Qubing dared to attack the Xiongnu and was rampant by nature! It's true!"

"Only bring hundreds of troops to attack the camp!"

"Kill him!"

Jinchang and Zuo Wu scolded each other, and their soldiers turned their horses around to prepare to fight the incoming team!

At this time, the team had already charged forward.

boom!

The two armies fought at close range.

Yao Zhao and Zhao Ponu rode on horseback and held spears to meet Jinchang and Zuo Wu respectively.

In the rear, Huo Qubing didn't take any action at all. He was sitting high on his horse, overlooking the battlefield.

The team under his command, using unparalleled military skills and miraculous marching methods, suddenly rushed out. The position and timing were perfect, like a long knife, cutting off the opponent's team that was leaving camp.

From a fighter perspective, it has an advantage the moment it appears.
