When the first dawn suddenly appeared on the horizon, the east gate of Zhazuo City, the easternmost part of Zhangye County, slowly drove out tens of thousands of Xiu Tu light cavalry and a large amount of military supplies.

Xiu Tu Wang Diandang, who was riding in Wang Mian's car, was surrounded by two Xiu Tu Meiji. As the wide-minded Wang Qi walked slowly, he hugged and hugged him, chewing the grapes that Meiji had peeled off the peel, and laughed unscrupulously.

It's really uncomfortable!

This scene made many marching soldiers envious and sighed: "A man should be like this in this world!"

Zazo City is more than 60 miles away from the Huangshaling camp of the former army. At the current marching speed of King Xiu Tu, he took a break in the Huangsha Road 30 miles away at noon and could reach his destination in the afternoon.

Huangsha Wandao, as the name suggests, refers to a passage surrounded by loess slopes and a narrow mountain road in the middle. This is a typical loess high slope terrain.

The loess slopes nowadays do not have trees, only weeds and thorns, but are full of pines and cypresses, lush and lush.

By early autumn, trees such as poplar, locust, birch, willow, oak, etc., fall one after another, but the pine and cypress are evergreen all year round and have a hard texture, which is a high-quality wood.

Ten miles of yellow sand are filled with the road, with gravel and rocks, and the eyes are full of loess.

The north is drought, and after autumn begins, the north wind is raging, dust is flying, and yellow sand is everywhere.

On the hillside south of the mountain road, Li Li was covered in armor, wearing a dark red battle robe, and a long-handled sword. He was standing tall, with his eyes looking at the movements of the road to the west with murderous aura.

Beside him, the King of Golden Beasts stood tall and roared from time to time, causing many animals on the hillside to panic and flee and birds toss.

Behind Li Li, Dian Wei and Li Zhi, two generals standing left and right, with their bodies as tall as towers. They held weapons tightly in their hands, and their evil spirits were lingering around them. The momentum was as majestic as a tiger, and they were extremely majestic.

Along the top of the mountain, more than 3,000 Jinniu guards concentrated their horses in the valley behind them, hiking and lurking, with huge rocks and rolling woods in front of them, carrying bows and arrows on their backs. They were ready to wait.

On the opposite mountain, Li Li's army was also ambushed.

A total of 6,000 soldiers from Wuwei Camp and Huxiao Camp were distributed along the top of the mountain, lurking in the weeds, big rocks and rolling trees piled up like mountains, staring down at the movements and stills at the foot of the mountain with murderous aura. They wanted to choose people and eat them.

At the entrance to the west of the mountain road, Teng Yu and Li Zheng each led 2,500 cavalry of Longxiang Camp, hiding in the valleys on both sides of the mountain road, and sent hundreds of scouts to monitor the situation on the road to the west. If there is any abnormal movement, they will report it at any time.

On the top of the mountain to the south, Dian Wei looked at the birds hovering above his head, frowned slightly, and whispered to Li Li: "Lord, there are birds singing over our heads at all times, and it is easy for Xiu Tu scouts to find traces. The subordinates want to shoot all these birds. This may be better."

Li Li grinned and said, "I'm worried about evil. I had expected it before. I had already ordered Teng Yu's troops to intercept and kill Xiu Tu's scout, so we will not be discovered.

In other words, it is early morning, and it is the time for birds to come for food. It is normal for a few birds to fly by in the sky. Don’t have to make a big move, let it go! As long as the Husband arrives here before dark, these birds will be ignored. If you wait until the evening, you have to shoot them to avoid Husband’s suspicion.”

After hearing this, Dian Wei thought for a moment and nodded and said, "What the lord said is very true. My subordinate just remembered the battle in Maple Leaf Canyon. Ma Chao set up an ambush with 20,000 pegasus, and he ignored his head and tail. He saw through it at a glance. As a result, the ambush failed and suffered heavy losses. Therefore, my subordinate had this idea, but ignored the difference in time between the two."

Li Li smiled and said, "It's great if you are evil. Those who lead the army to fight should be bold and careful, and always maintain a high degree of vigilance. When it's time to let go, don't hesitate; when encountering suspicious situations, you need to be careful. For several months, you have a lot of experience in leading troops to fight. When our army grows further in the future, when the time is ripe, I will let you lead the army alone and stand on your own. Hahaha!"

"This is my subordinate who is willing to stay with the lord for the rest of his life. Please agree!" Dian Wei said anxiously.

Li Li laughed and said, "It's a bad thing. A real man should make achievements on the battlefield, win his wife and children, and achieve great success. If you stay by my side, your future position will definitely be limited, otherwise the generals will be unable to convince and gossip behind their backs. This is the disadvantage of always following me. As a close minister, you are prone to criticism.

Besides, as long as you have the ability to lead troops to fight, if I don’t give you a chance, wouldn’t it be a rude ruler and delay your future! So, I have to worry about this matter, so you don’t have to think too much about it. Besides, this matter is still early, and it is likely to have to wait for two or three years. Don’t worry, and you can’t blame me. Hahaha!”

"I will be in charge of the Lord and will never complain!" Dian Wei responded respectfully.

"Yes." Li Li nodded slightly, and then said to Li Zhi: "After the ambush war begins, please keep a close eye on the King of Diandang. When our army continues to rush, you must capture Diandang alive.

A living King Xiu Tu has greater value in utilization.

Otherwise, once Diandang dies, the Xiu Tu tribe will inevitably be disintegrated and a mess. At that time, our army will still need to be wiped out one by one, which will take time and effort and go through a lot of trouble. Is Li Zhi confident that he will capture Diandang alive?"

Li Zhi didn't frown when he heard this and said, "I promise, my subordinates will never let go of the lord's entrustedness and will definitely capture the King Xiu Tu Diandang alive!"

"Oh!" Li Li thought Li Zhi would say a few more words, but he didn't expect that he would be so straightforward and cherish his words as gold.

"Li Zhi, if the situation is urgent and too dangerous, you must not take risks. Compared with Xiu Tu King Diandang, your life is much more important than him! Remember, if there is no suitable opportunity, don't take risks. If you can't catch him this time, we have a next time and there are still many opportunities in the future!"

After hearing this, a touch of emotion flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, but his expression did not change at all. He nodded and responded: "Oh, I will accept the order!"

Hearing Li Zhi responded so rudely, Li Li shook his head with a wry smile, but his love for Li Zhi has not diminished at all, and he even trusts him more and more.

Just now, Li Li told Dian Wei that he intended to lead the army alone, but in fact he was attracted by Li Zhi's personality, who was not close to others and his character of being as precious as gold. Dian Wei was rigorous in the army, calm in the war, had good skills in training and commanding troops, and had the resources of a general to lead a battalion.

In contrast, Li Zhi is not suitable to lead troops alone to fight. He is withdrawn, taciturn, and has a stern face all day long, so it is difficult for others to get close to him. However, he is skilled in martial arts, has a top skill that is not inferior to Huan Fei, and has extremely keen senses. To put it bluntly, his hearing and smell are even sharper than most animals, and his perception of danger is strong.

Based on these characteristics, Li Li believes that Li Zhi is more suitable to serve as his personal bodyguard than Dian Wei, and to take over the Golden Guard in full.

Because the Jinqi Guard was Li Li's personal guard, he took over the county guards on a daily basis, followed Li Li during wartime, and followed Li Li Zheng closely.

After this battle, if Li Zhi could capture King Xiu Tu Diandang alive, he would have accumulated enough military achievements.

Once the time is right, Li Li will let Dian Wei lead a battalion of troops, and then let Li Zhi take over the Jinqiuwei.

This is not because Li Li does not trust Dian Wei, but because he can make full use of his talents and apply his talents.

Dian Wei was not only a competent guard commander, but also a general who was good at fighting. Perhaps, he did not have the ability to plan a commander, but he was absolutely competent to charge, attack cities and camps, and guard the city, and he was also very capable of doing it.

In this way, if Dian Wei is freed from the position of guard, Li Li will be able to add another vanguard general like Huan Fei.

Li Zhi is different from Dian Wei. He has little literacy, has never handled military affairs, and is even less good at communicating with others. It is really difficult for him to lead the army alone. But he obeys Li Li's orders and is loyal and is definitely a natural commander of guards.

As for the military affairs in the Jinqi Guard, it is enough to arrange a deputy general who can handle military affairs. Li Zhi doesn't have to do it himself. He only needs to train a group of middle and low-level generals who are absolutely loyal and reliable, and have high martial arts skills to control the entire battalion.

???????????????????????????

After noon, the figure of Xiu Tu army appeared at the entrance of the Huangsha Road.

These slaughterers, whether they were arrogant or thought that they were safe along the road, and no hundreds of scouts sent to survive, they did not know that they still advanced into the Yellow Sha Road in a mighty manner without any precautions.

After a while, more than 35,000 Xiu Tu troops all entered the mountain road.

When the car of King Xiu Tu Diandang of Wang Mian appeared in the middle of the mountain road, Li Li suddenly stood up and pushed a huge rock worth hundreds of pounds down the hillside, and the personal soldiers behind him instantly beat the war drum.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

Amid the rapid sound of war drums, thousands of huge rocks rolled down from the tops of the mountain on both sides of the yellow sand road, and then the rolling woods all over the mountains fell down with a clang.

In an instant, on the hillsides on both sides of the ten-mile yellow sand, big rocks flew like rain, and rolling wood fell like a flood, hitting the Xiu Tu army at the foot of the mountain.

In an instant, on the narrow mountain road, screams were like thunder and the neighing of the horse shook the sky.

Tens of thousands of Xu Tu army panicked, with war horses scattered, and baggage scattered, avoiding the huge rocks and rolling wood that were falling.

The crowds were crowded, and war horses collided with each other. The originally very narrow mountain road became increasingly crowded. Hundreds of Xiu Tu soldiers were instantly trampled into meat paste.

Under the bombardment of big stones and rolling wood, with the carriage of Xiu Tu King Diandang as the center, countless big stones, rolling wood and flesh piled up together to form a stone dam that blocked the mountain road, blocking the mountain road in the waist and divided into two sections. The people in the front can only advance, but not retreat; the people in the second half can only retreat, but not advance. The army of more than 30,000 Xiu Tu was divided into two, with about 10,000 people in the first section and about 20,000 people in the second half.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Swoosh swish swish!"

Big rocks flew down, rolling woods rushing towards the mountain road.

Arrows are like locusts, and the rain of arrows falls down rapidly in the sky. There is no need to be a clear head. As long as you land strongly on the mountain road, you can shoot an enemy. (To be continued)
