When some bright colors just appeared on the horizon, the scouts sent out had already returned.

If it were in later generations, perhaps at this point in time, most of them would still be nestled in bed, fighting an arduous struggle with the quilt, and then wait until they were really hungry, then they would reluctantly get out of bed and go to make something to eat or something.

Just order takeout...

However, now, this kind of life or this kind of living habits is already quite far away from Fei Qian.

Right now, Fei Qian was leading a lone army of more than 500 cavalrymen. Such a situation would be unimaginable to him in future generations.

Fei Qian took the water bag handed over by Huang Xu, drank a few sips, puffed up his cheeks, poured the water into his mouth, and washed the residue between his teeth with the water, and then did not spit it out.

It was swallowed.

got used to.

It is very simple to eat, but the food contains a lot of calories. Animal fat, a little salt and sugar are added, and the fried wheat flour is ground into powder, and the pieces are compacted and packed in a bamboo tube. You can eat it when eating.

It can also be eaten dry after being boiled in water. Although it is not as good as compressed biscuits in later generations, it can still ensure the calories and sodium ions needed by the human body in a short period of time.

Just like he was accustomed to the military life and the way of eating in the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian gradually became accustomed to reasoning and thinking about problems in the way of a commander-in-chief.

Fei Qian called Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to his side and said: "...Xiliang soldiers are setting up a pontoon bridge to cross the river... Wenyuan, Zilong, what do you think should be done now?"

Zhao Yun looked at Fei Qian and seemed to understand something, but said nothing.

Zhang Liao acted more directly. He looked back at the road, then turned back and said, "What do you mean by the Lord, to turn around and deal with these thieves?"

Fei Qian smiled slightly and said: "How? Can we still fight?"

Zhang Liao and Zhao Yunjun raised their hands and replied loudly: "Your Majesty, please give me the order!"

Fei Qian laughed, turned around and got on his horse, and headed towards the formation of the team. Huang Xu and other flag-bearing guards followed closely. Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun looked at each other and hurriedly mounted their horses to follow.

Every soldier involuntarily turned his head to look at Fei Qian and the commander under the three-color flag.

In the era of cold weapons, the morale of the army was often a very important factor in combat. Even in later generations, it was common for a dozen soldiers to chase away several or even ten times the number of opponent soldiers who had no fighting spirit, just like chasing ducks.

Something happened.

Retreating all the way like this and being chased by Li Jue, although it will be relatively safe now, it will actually cause some damage to the morale of the entire team...

Fei Qian sat upright on his horse, looked around, pulled out the long sword at his side, and violently slashed to one side in the air. The long sword flashed with a dazzling light under the morning light.

"We men from Bingzhou are a pack of wolves in this land, not cattle and sheep!" Fei Qian shouted to the soldiers, "In the past two days, we have been chased all the way from Gaolu to here. These Xiliang thieves are not

It’s annoying, I’m tired of it! Some people say that the Han’s frontier troops have always been elite in Bingliang! But now, I want to say that the Xiliang soldiers are no longer good. The whole world! Only Bingzhou soldiers like us are the elite of the Han!”

"Oh oh oh!" After hearing Fei Qian's words, all the soldiers couldn't help but raise their sabers and spears, wave them towards the sky, and let out a burst of cheers.

"We retreated before, not because we were afraid of these Xiliang thieves, but because we all belong to the border army and it will be difficult for everyone..." Fei Qian opened his eyes and spoke seriously, "But these thieves are not done yet! We

The people of Bingzhou are not that easy to bully, now it’s our turn to give these Xiliang thieves some color!"

"Everyone mount up! Let's go!"

A bright color in the sky became more and more obvious, reflecting the bright red morning glow.

Fei Qian's cloak was fluttering high in the morning breeze. Even though he had not slept all night, he was still in high spirits under the influence of adrenaline.

Under the leadership of Li Jue, the Xiliang soldiers hurried all day and were busy all night. Even if they were one person and two horses, the degree of loss during the pursuit was relatively small, but after all, human energy is limited, so

This is also the time when they need to restore their physical strength.

Furthermore, although the pontoon bridge is more convenient and does not require removal of armor, how large a structure can a pontoon bridge built in one night have? How many people can pass through it at one time?

After the scout's description, Fei Qian almost knew the general shape of the pontoon bridge built by Li Jue. It was the simplest bridge based on rafts, with three or four rafts across it as the base, and then the rest.

The wood connects these rafts. Of course, the width of the pontoon is at most about one and a half horses wide, because the wider the pontoon bridge, the consumption of materials and manpower will increase significantly. For one-time use, it is about one and a half horses.

The width is about the same.

Although it is said that they are returning to fight back, it does not mean that Fei Qian must have an absolute advantage, because both sides have been galloping long distances for a long time, and the consumption of people and horses is equally high. Normally, under this situation, there is no

Not a good time to fight.

However, it is also the best fighting opportunity at the moment.

Because unless you go north to the mountainous area, there really aren't many places in this area that can be used to snipe Li Jue. Li Jue thought that he would just run away, and he wouldn't have much preparation, just in time for a sudden attack!

Taking advantage of the morning light, when Fei Qian and others returned to Juqishui, they ran into the scouts sent by Li Jue!

It was not bright yet, so the smoke and dust were not obvious. When the two sides heard the sound of horse hooves like beating drums, they realized that they were face to face.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao rushed to the front of the entire team, like two sharp knives. When they saw the scouts sent by Li Jue, they immediately increased their horse speed to 100% without waiting for Fei Qian to give the order.

The highest is like an arrow leaving the string, running forward!

Zhang Liao looked like he was on the back of a horse, his body slightly arched, a spear stretched straight out, a few spear flowers danced, and all the arrows fired by the opponent in panic were deflected, and in a blink of an eye, he was

Approaching the front line listed by Scout Li Jue!

Zhao Yun was slightly slower than Zhang Liao by half a horse length, but he had already taken off the long bow on the side of the horse. The strength of his legs and waist were enough to help Zhao Yun sit on top of the galloping horse.

Steadyly, at the moment when the horse soared into the air, Zhao Yun shot three arrows in a row, and then three more arrows the next moment. The arrows instantly passed Zhang Liao and went straight to the first few Xiliang scouts.

go!

The arrows screamed, and the Xiliang scouts who were preparing to attack Zhang Liao were shocked. They couldn't help but dodge sideways, but in the end, three of them were unable to dodge. One was shot in the face, and the other two were shot in the chest and abdomen.

He immediately leaned back, turned over and fell off the horse.

At this time, Zhang Liao had already shouted loudly, and the prancing horse rushed straight into the queue of Xiliang scouts!

A Xiliang scout was about to raise his sword to cut him off. Zhang Liao had already taken half a step forward and pierced the Xiliang scout's neck. He immediately opened half of his neck and the Xiliang scout's head was thrown away.

He leaned to the side, and the blood in his chest spurted out with a "pop" sound along the huge wound under the influence of pressure, like a blood-red firework being set off.

Behind the two of them, the rest of the Bingzhou cavalry had arrived at this time and slammed into Li Jue's Xiliang scout detachment. These Bingzhou cavalry had already put on battle armor this time, so they were no longer

He was in such a state that he could fall down with just one arrow, and he ran straight into the formation of Xiliang cavalry. Amidst the shouting and neighing of people and horses, all the formations of Xiliang scouts were immediately scattered.

The Xiliang scouts' detachment was defeated, and they immediately turned around and fled. Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were about to pursue them, but they were caught by Fei Qian and gave him a few words. Zhang Liao then took the order and led two hundred cavalry in advance.

Biting the Xiliang scout's defeated tail, he chased after him.

Li Jue was commanding the soldiers of Xiliang to cross the river at this time. As Fei Qian expected, the pontoon bridge was not spacious, and because it was built in such a hurry, and because of the restrictions, it basically had to be bundled together and soaked in the water.

The friction with each other caused some breaks and looseness, which further affected the efficiency of crossing the river.

After finally crossing the river, some soldiers and horses came over. When Li Jue sent out a team of scouts to investigate the surrounding situation and traces of Fei Qian's escape, he did not expect to see Fei Qian and his troops attacking in person.

Li Jue stood under a white banner on the south bank, surrounded by more than a dozen personal guards.

"Well done!"

Li Jue said fiercely, and ordered the cavalry who had already crossed the river to come forward to attack, and ordered the soldiers who followed to speed up the crossing!

The sound of horns sounded, and some Xiliang cavalry who had crossed the river began to assemble under the command of Li Jue to prepare for the attack of Fei Qian's troops. Soon a Xiliang military marquis roared, leading the first to gather

The two hundred cavalrymen who were together rushed forward first.

The encounter with Feiqian's troops was sudden, and there were a lot of gravel on both sides of the river beach area. It was not impossible to expand, but it would risk damaging the horseshoes. Therefore, Li Jue simply prepared to take advantage of the large number of people to fight Feiqian.

The troops carried it up forcefully, and as long as they defeated Fei Qian and either captured or killed him, everything would be worth it.

However, the attack by Fei Qian and other cavalry was much more ferocious than Li Jue expected!

Almost in an instant, the Xiliang army and horses sent by Li Jue to attack were like water hitting a rock. Although the water seemed extremely turbulent, the rock remained motionless, and the Xiliang cavalry only knocked out blood-red blood on it.

Apart from the foam and blood flowers, Fei Qian's cavalry formation could not be shaken!

Some people may be inconspicuous in ordinary times, but as long as they are on the battlefield, these people are the kings of the battlefield!

Just like Zhang Liao!

During the fierce battle, it seemed that the more enemies surrounded him, the more ferocious Zhang Liao became!

That long spear flying like a dragon, accompanied by the figure prancing on horseback, and the blood spurting out from the casualties of Xiliang soldiers nearby, turned out to be like a ball of extremely red brilliance, piercing everyone's eyes with life.

pain.

The cold light of the spear flashed, and Zhang Liaofang stabbed to death a Xiliang soldier who was charging forward. He immediately twisted his backhand and severely slapped the two Xiliang soldiers who were rushing towards him.

A big gash was cut across his neck and clavicle. He immediately let out all his strength. He couldn't hold back the gushing blood, and he fell down. But the other person took half a step forward and let him go.

He fired his head and slashed, but was hit hard on the shoulder by the gun barrel from behind. He fell straight down and fell off the horse. While he was still rolling, he was stepped on by a war horse from the back door.

Immediately, half of his screams were suppressed into the earth!

Several Xiliang soldiers who rushed behind were wearing armor and waving their swords. They moved very fast. Before Zhang Liao's spear could be withdrawn, they rushed straight into Zhang Liao's middle circle and hid.

He opened the extremely cruel spear head and raised his knife to cut Zhang Liao's body.

Seeing that Zhang Liao had no time to close the gun, he simply switched his hands to one, stretched out his arm and sent it forward, and immediately penetrated the chest and abdomen of the other person in front. However, with his left hand, he pulled out the sword with his left hand and knocked the horse's belly with his foot.

Knowingly, he took half a step to the side, and the two swords slashed from the flanks immediately missed.

Before the two men could retract their swords, Zhang Liao's sword had already swept out along with the force of his horse. The two Xiliang cavalrymen who had rushed past were suddenly shorter in stature, and rain of blood poured down on their heads and faces. At this time,

Only then did the rest of the people see the heads of these two Xiliang soldiers flying into the sky!

The speed of the cavalry's charge was more than ten times faster than that of the infantry. In the rain of blood, Zhang Liao had already seen the Xiliang military lord in front of the Xiliang cavalry formation, who was leading the frontline command.

As soon as their eyes met, the Xiliang military lord knew that he could not escape. He suddenly felt fierce in his heart, roared, and rushed towards Zhang Liao with a slap on the horse!
