After saying that, Yang Feng stuffed the jerky meat. He waved his hand and asked someone to help Zhang Meng, who had his hands tied up, and climbed up the hill. He wanted to blew the horn of ambush on the top of the mountain. He wanted Zhang Meng to watch the Zhangye coalition forces that rescued Wuwei were destroyed and other ideas to fight against him were killed.

···

On the mountain road in the valley.

Zhang Jin, who was leading the army, looked at the surrounding terrain, tied the reins and said in advance to He Luan who was sweating profusely.

"There is no civil strife in Wuwei, but the terrain of this place is dangerous, so the coalition soldiers must speed up their pace and pass quickly. Now Guzang City can arrive in half a day. The soldiers are the gods, but don't let the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong be prepared in advance!"

He Luan nodded, and before he could agree, he heard a harsh sound of horns sounding over the valley...

···

On the hill

Looking at the Zhangye coalition forces scattered by many arrows, rolling wood, falling rocks, and falling people, Zhang Meng knew that the six or seven thousand people gathered by Yuheluan and Zhang Jin would be completely trapped in this valley.

The chaotic formation turned the army of thousands into thousands of individual forces, and the panic sentiment made the power of these individuals even more discounted. Everyone scattered like broken porcelain pieces in the narrow valley. They crowded each other, they pushed each other, they trampled on each other, arrows, rolled wood, and fell rocks, it was difficult to kill most of them, but it was enough to destroy their inner will to fight.

Horses, Qu Guang rushed out with ambushed troops, and they quickly defeated the enemy that had temporarily gathered to fight. They rushed back to the Zhangye coalition, which had no fighting spirit, as if they were driving away and chasing prey, to aggravate their uneasy and chaos, and then easily swung their swords from behind, stabbed spears, shot arrows, and chopped axes, and skillfully and agilely killed the enemy soldiers.

Tuo Ying escaped from chaos and was covered by Qu Guang, but he was still shot by an arrow on his shoulder. The arrow wound was not caused by the chaotic enemy soldiers, but from his own camp.

The battlefield was lost and the sword was without eyes. Tuo Ying, who had been lucky enough to escape from the slaughter, let out a long sigh. Although he had scolded him for being accidentally injured, he still had to be glad that he was lucky to be able to survive the chaos and make great contributions. This was really a rare luck.

The horse was still rushing with the cavalry. Two heads were tied to his neck, one with thin eyebrows and small eyes, a round and fat face, the other with dark skin and thick beard, which seemed to be the level of the Zhangye Alliance Army, Luan and Zhang Jin.

When they were commanding the stable and chaotic people, they met the horses that rushed over. After a round of meeting, they were stabbed off by the horse's spears one after another, and then they were confusedly cut off their heads by the cavalry who followed up and dismounted and finished stabbing.

The defeat was decided, and the next thing was a massacre of the death of the North. Zhang Meng had lost all his interest and continued to watch. Yang Feng looked at Zhang Meng who turned around and did not laugh anymore, but asked seriously.

"Premier Zhang, how can you ask Guzang to open the gates of the city gates and surrender?"

When Zhang Meng heard Yang Feng's question, his tall body suddenly collapsed. His hands trembled slightly, and the scenes of rushing and pursuits in his mind were repeatedly reflected in his mind. The fantasies of losing both sides that had already existed in his heart were completely shattered. He was discouraged, and his cracked lips trembled.

"The success and defeated the enemy, Wuwei, one county and one fourteen cities, I am willing to surrender to the general!"

···

Heluan, Zhang Jin and other rebel leaders died. Zhangye County surrendered, and the thousand cavalry sent by Yang Feng easily entered the city of Guide.

Yang Feng's army pacified Wuwei in one fell swoop, and the two counties of Zhangye were greatly increased, and Hexi was shocked. He ordered the flying cavalry to report the victory, and returned to Jicheng to ask the Ganling army to send envoys as soon as possible. The officials and soldiers came to take over the two counties, and escorted Zhang Meng, who had lost his ambitions, back to Jicheng.

After the first batch of Liangzhou troops arrived, Yang Feng himself led his army to quietly leave Guzang City and rushed to Zhaowu City.

Although the Wuwei and Zhangye counties were pacified, the Jiuquan and Dunhuang counties were still in a state of separatist independence. Moreover, with the surrender of Wuwei and Zhangye, the deaths of Zhangjin and others, the deaths of Huang Ang, Huang Hua and others in Jiuquan were even more intense. They summoned heavy troops to gather in the Biaoshi City at the county border, preparing to occupy the city here to fight Yang Feng's army.

Zhaowu City, the big tent of the barracks.

"Have the scouts in the army explored the rebel forces in the Biao City of Qing Dynasty?"

Yang Feng, who had stepped into the tent without taking off his armor and resting, began to ask Qu Guang and others who were the first to lead troops into Zhaowu City, Zhangye.

"The general is surrounded by felt tents under the city of Biao, and the people are noisy. Huang Hua talks wildly to the outside world. The treasury of Jiuquan County has summoned 30,000 troops from Han, Hu and Qiang. The scouts in the army have returned, and there are more than 10,000 troops under the city of Biao."

Qu Guang bowed and reported to Yang Feng carefully.

"Huang Hua gathered so many troops, but there has been no sign of taking the initiative to attack Zhangye recently?"

"No, Huang Hua was quite cautious in using his troops. Although he stationed his troops in Biao, built camps, and recruited exiled rebels in Zhangye and other places, he did not act rashly, but instead mobilized the grinding horses and repaired the armored soldiers, preparing to intercept our army on the bank of Ruoshui River!"

"kindness."

Yang Feng nodded and turned to see the map that had been hung on the wooden frame. After confirming the surrounding cities, he also began to think about his strategy to attack Jiuquan in his mind.

Although the regaining of Wuwei and Zhangye was an ambush, Yang Feng's troops were also exhausted. He subsequently used the grain and silk seized in Wuwei and Zhangye counties, and some of the soldiers and horses of Lu Shuihu were recruited, but the total number of people remained at around 5,000. The number of people was given away, so the recruitment requirements set by Yang Feng could not meet the recruitment requirements set by Yang Feng.

Yang Feng did not dare to attack Jiuquan County with a large group of mobs while he was in deep.

However, although the morale is strong and the troops are elite, the troops are still insufficient when using their troops to attack the Biaoshi City, which is guarded by a large number of rebels. Unless Yang Feng and others can lead the rebels entrenched in Jiuquan, and then use the advantages of the mountains and rivers to deal with He Luan and Zhang Jin, either fighting in the field or ambushing, and divide the rebels in one fell swoop and annihilate the rebels' troops.

"Over these days, the scouts in the army have been deeply involved in Jiuquan many times. Can rebel cavalry pursue and invade Zhangye?"

"No. Huang Hua's troops guard the border and never take the initiative to invade."

When Yang Feng heard the reply from his subordinates, he couldn't help but sneer.

"It seems that although the Huang family is powerful in Jiuquan, Huang Hua is a man with a harsh and cowardly color. I believe he has also heard about Zhangye and Luan. Zhang Jin rushed to Guzang and was passing by on the way, so he made up his mind to garrison Biaoshi City with superior forces and never advance easily, so as not to be ambushed by our army."

After hearing Yang Feng's words, his subordinates and generals also nodded with a smile.

Huang Hua held superior forces and made a small sensation in the four Hexi counties, but he was reluctant to take advantage of the situation to invade Zhangye. Instead, he defended the cities and towns of the county boundaries. Although he was cautious in using troops, he was actually afraid that he had been defeated by Yang Feng and Luan. Zhang Jin and others' military newspapers were scared and could only defend the border.

After all the generals Yang Feng and others laughed, they thought about it, pointed out the outside of the tent, and said

"Let's go out and run a horse with me!"

After saying that, Yang Feng moved quickly and stepped out of the tent again. When the other generals and officials saw him leaving, they didn't have time to think about it. They hurriedly followed behind and walked out of the tent.

Yang Feng, who walked out of the tent, looked around the deployment of the surrounding military camps, and said nothing more. He waved his hand and asked someone to pull his mount, and then turned over and got on the horse. Seeing this, the generals behind him followed one after another. He raised his whip and urged the horse to trot towards the camp gate.

When Yang Feng rode his horse and took all his subordinates to a high ground outside the camp, he pointed to the mountains in the distance and revealed his plans.

"There is Heli Mountain. When I was a Ranger, I went there once. I walked around the mountains and crossed the quicksand. I was in the territory of the former Zhangye vassal state. When I turned to the southwest there, I could directly penetrate into the heart of Jiuquan County."

"this--"

After so much trouble, it turned out that Yang Feng wanted to bypass the numerous defense lines set up by the Jiuquan rebels in the Biao family, bypass the mountains, cross the quicksand, and circle the troops around, and finally achieve the goal of breaking through the defense line and attacking Jiuquan directly.

However, these mountains and ridges and wind and sand in the desert seem far away and out of reach, but when people are in the situation, they don’t know how many unexpected dangers will arise. Yang Feng took the risk of taking troops and horses to detour around the defense line. On the surface, it can reduce many casualties in the attack, but in fact it has to take huge unknown risks. Once they encounter strong winds and dust, it is very likely that half of the army will be buried in the yellow sand.

Moreover, logistics supply, water sources along the way, Qiang and Hu in the territory, etc., may make this army that implements a large roundabout battle without returning.

The generals of his subordinates looked at Yang Feng, and fell deeply suspicious of his strategy of using troops.

Tuo Ying, who was still injured on her shoulder, immediately said to Yang Feng

"A general, it is too risky to use troops like this. If we want to go around the mountains, cross the quicksand, and go back to the back of the Jiuquan rebels, and raid the heart of Jiuquan County, unless there is a large amount of civil servants and livestock to transport food and grass, there must be sufficient water supply along the way, and we must also ensure that we will not be attacked by the Qianghu tribe after entering the country. This is completely impossible."

"And the road is unpredictable, and the whereabouts cannot be concealed. Once the rebels in Jiuquan notice it in advance, the army will eventually be futile!"

After listening to Tuo Ying's words patiently, Yang Feng nodded without concealing the huge difficulties and unknown risks, and looked at his subordinates and said.

"So, if you want to go this way, you can only select the best from the army, and only select a small number of elite cavalry, one man and three horses, and then go through the road with camels, pack horses and other horses in the army. Within four days, you will bend to the rear of the rebels and go straight to Jiuquan's heart!"
