The World of Yellow Sky

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Accompanied by the low sound of horns, on the official road, a group of marching cavalrymen of the Ming army stopped, holding knives and guns and staring at the surrounding situation.

"Where are the scouts!"

Hearing Qu Yi's question, a dozen scouts quickly came out.

Qu Yi pointed his whip forward.

"Go and check the situation ahead."

Before Qu Yi could finish his sentence, a dozen scouts galloped out on horseback.

These cavalrymen were the elite under Qu Yi's command, and they had also received military training from the Ming army. They were no longer what they used to be, and orders and prohibitions were nothing more than ordinary.

"Wanderers, let go of your guard!"

Qu Yi stretched out his hand to take the spear from the guard beside him, and shouted loudly.

"Wandering, let go of your guard!"

"Wandering, let go of your guard!"

Following Qu Yi's order, the messengers in each village also shouted loudly, spreading Qu Yi's order far away.

All the cavalry who boarded the camp first on the official road responded quickly.

Most of the cavalry as rangers and reconnaissance cavalry are soldiers from Liangzhou. Because of their heavy responsibilities, most of them are skilled in equestrianism, familiar with cavalry combat, and have their own skills.

The guards around him also reacted quickly, and Qu Yi was already surrounded by the guards at the center.

There are also several personal guards holding double-arc shields guarding Qu Yi's surroundings, always watching out for possible cold arrows.

Just when everyone was in a tense state, a rush of horseshoes broke the silence.

Qu Yi followed the sound and looked forward. A cavalryman with a feather on his back broke through the thick fog.

Seeing the cavalry rushing straight forward, all the bodyguards were on alert. Quyi's dozen or so bodyguard cavalry all drew their bows and mounted arrows, aiming at the cavalry that came straight ahead.

"Let him come over, that's the scout from the front team."

Qu Yi let out a low growl, and used his spear to push away the guards standing in front of him.

"I'm not too old to fight, stay away!"

Qu Yi gave the order to let go, so that the scout who sent the order drove straight in, and came directly in front of Qu Yi.

The scout who sent the order was covered in dust and had two feathered arrows on his body, but it probably didn't penetrate the armor on his body, otherwise there should be a look of pain on his face.

"Report to the general, a large group of Han troops were found in the Yuquan Pavilion ahead..."

What the scout cavalry said made all the guards around Qu Yi stunned, and it also caused a commotion among the cavalry who had first boarded the camp on the official road.

"What are you panicking about!"

Qu Yi shook his spear, the spear shook and made a slight clanging sound, and then shouted angrily.

"Let him finish talking!"

Qu Yi had built up his prestige for a long time, and when he heard Qu Yi's scolding, everyone fell silent.

"But the ambush of the Han army?"

Qu Yi asked solemnly.

"It shouldn't be..."

"Yes, yes, no, no, nothing should be!"

"Reporting to the general, the Han army in Yuquan Pavilion is not an ambush."

"I chased all the way and chased outside Yuquan Pavilion, only to find that Yuquan Pavilion has erected a camp."

"The Han army in Yuquan Pavilion was also panicked when they saw our army suddenly appearing. When our army arrived, the deserters from Licheng were just entering the village. Our troops took advantage of the situation and rushed in. Now they are fighting fiercely."

"Looking at the situation, Yuquan Pavilion should be the garrison of the Han army, but it is not an ambush."

"What is the size of the Han army?"

"Looking at the size of the camp, the number of people should be around a thousand."

Qu Yi felt a little relieved.

If it was an ambush, the Han army in Yuquan Pavilion would never panic.

This performance has already proved that the Han army in Yuquan Pavilion should be just a garrison. Since it is a garrison, there is no need to worry too much.

Qu Yi laughed self-deprecatingly. He was still worried about problems in the southern mountainous area of ​​Yuquan Pavilion.

"How's the battle going?"

"Our department has already controlled the gate of the village and overthrew the rejected horses along the way. There is no one in the Han army camp in Yuquan Pavilion. Our department has already invaded the camp. However, the Han army has a large number of people. It has reacted and now it has reached a stalemate."

During the conversation, several scouts arrived again.

The scouts who arrived this time were no longer the vanguard's scouts, but the scouts sent by Qu Yi before.

The distance between the front and the back is less than two miles, which is just a short distance for the cavalry.

"Order the front army to send out a group of cavalry to go around the camp and cut off the way to prevent Li Gan from escaping."

"promise."

"Order Guan Hai to lead the rear army to speed up the pace. The camp of the Han army is found ahead, and our troops are fighting."

"promise."

Qu Yi didn't hesitate. At such a moment, the opportunity to fight is fleeting, and time is the most important thing, so he ordered immediately and decisively.

The two order cavalry quickly took over the order flag, promised to follow the order and left.

Qu Yi felt at ease, and defeating the more than 1000 Han troops was another military achievement.

"Order the whole army to speed up the march, break into the Yuquan Pavilion, and kill all the Han troops in the pavilion!"

Qu Yi raised the spear in his hand, put his legs on the horse's belly, stepped on the top of the mound, and ordered loudly.

"stop----"

A piercing sharp sound suddenly sounded.

Qu Yi took the lead, holding his gun and galloping down the mound, and all the armored cavalry behind him galloped away.

For a moment, tens of thousands of horses galloped and mud splashed, which was as loud as thunder.

"Tiger!"

A group of cavalry who boarded the camp first on the official road also shouted in unison.

"Wan Sheng!"

Shouting Wan Sheng, they speeded up their horses again, and followed Qu Yi to gallop forward.

……

In Yuquan Pavilion, the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of Jin Ge, and howling were all intertwined together, forming a movement of death.

The cavalry of the Ming army rushed into the camp suddenly, and the Han army in the camp didn't react at all at first, so they suffered a big loss.

Now that he has reacted, relying on the restrictions on the cavalry imposed by the topographic military tents and houses in the camp, the Han army still persisted.

Li Qian was lying on Li Zheng's back, his expression was extremely ugly.

Although the previous fierce battle did not kill him, his belly armor had been cut open at this time, and his injuries were so serious that he could no longer ride a horse.

In the end, for the distance to the camp gate, it was Li Zheng who carried him on his back.

They barked open the gate of the camp, and before they had time to speak, the cavalry of the Ming army had already arrived in an instant.

It was too late to say more, and the last dozen or so personal guards stood in front of the camp gate to fight for Li Gan's last point, allowing Li Zheng to take Li Gan and escape into the relatively stable northern part of the camp.

"Ah Jing, put me down."

Li Qian felt that blood was slowly flowing from the wound on his abdomen, and his body was getting colder and colder.

"Ah Weng, don't worry, I will definitely take you out!"

Li Zheng didn't listen to Li Gan's words, but continued to run forward.

"lay down!"

Li Gan raised his voice, but it also affected his injury.

Seeing that Li Gan was angry, Li Zheng could only let Li Gan go.

Li Gan clutched his stomach. He knew exactly what kind of injury he had suffered. His abdomen was pierced by a spear. He was already a dying man, powerless, and now was the last time of his life.

Li Gan leaned against a bodyguard and faced Li Zheng, feeling mixed feelings for a moment, but he didn't know where to start his words.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the side, and Li Zheng and Li Gan turned their heads to look at the place where the sound came from.

"The son and the general..."

"What's going on, how did you get like this?"

Xiahou Dun quickly stepped forward to support Li Gan who was about to get up.

He was ordered to lead troops to garrison at Yuquan Pavilion, and was patrolling the camp when he heard a sudden cry of killing from the west of the camp.

Then, someone reported that Li Qian had entered the camp, accompanied by the Ming army's pursuers.

"The Ming army increased its troops in Licheng, and Licheng couldn't defend itself. We tried to withdraw from Licheng with the help of the fog when the cock crowed, but we were ambushed by the Ming army. The Ming army cavalry went all the way. After chasing up to this point, while I was waiting to enter the camp, I broke into the camp."

After listening to Li Zheng's narration, Xiahou Dun's heart sank slightly.

The Ming army is more terrifying than the rumors, and he knows Li Qian's character very well.

Li Gan is not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is absolutely impossible to evacuate Licheng prematurely in order to protect himself.

He said that Licheng could not be defended, and Licheng should be on the verge of falling.

Although the defenses of Licheng were not as terrifying as those of Dongchaoyang, Guanxian, and Zouping, they were considered a fortified city. In addition to Zhu'a and the military forts along the way, they only lasted for thirteen days.

Li Qian rashly brought the Ming army into Yuquan Pavilion, which disrupted their original plan, but Xiahou Dun knew that Li Gan could not be blamed for this.

"How many members of the Ming army are chasing them, and which part of the Ming army is it?"

"There were about two or three thousand Ming troops chasing us. When we were fighting, I heard slang words from Liangzhou and Jizhou. Most of them were Qu Yi's subordinates who went to the camp first."

The abdominal injury didn't affect Li Qian's mind, and he was still sane.

He has met people from Liangzhou and Jizhou, so he knows their accents.

"Ku Yi..."

Xiahou Dun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he clenched the ring head knife in his hand.

According to the plan, Zhu'a, Licheng, and Yuquanting are actually just bait, a bait for Qu Yi to bite.

At Yuquan Pavilion, the Han army had already opened up a large net, waiting for Qu Yi to slip into his pocket.

The original plan was for Li Gan to pretend to be defeated and flee all the way back to Yuquan Pavilion.

Then, with the help of Yuquan Pavilion's unique terrain, they swallowed Qu Yi's five thousand cavalry troops in one go.

As long as Qu Yi's vanguard is defeated, the Ming army's offensive momentum will be greatly frustrated, and then the front line to the south of the front will be stabilized, allowing the Ming army to take the initiative to slow down the offensive and buy time.

Today, there are more than [-] soldiers hoarded in the southern mountainous area, eastern mountainous area, and northern hills of Yuquan Pavilion. These soldiers are all the elites Cao Cao can mobilize.

The Danyang soldiers recruited by Sun Ce and Tao Qian, the tiger warriors who followed Cao Cao all the way from Yanzhou, and the elite of the entire Qingzhou Army gathered here.

Xiahoudun thought of what he said to question Chen Gong before, and now he was convinced.

The injuries on Li Qian's body did not escape Xia Houdun's eyes, he could tell that Li Qian was at the point where all his fuel was exhausted.

"Ambush has been set up around the Yuquan Pavilion, Qu Yi is coming in now, it's because he threw himself into Luo, Captain Li is at ease..."

Xiahou Dun stopped speaking before he finished speaking. Li Gan had already closed his eyes at this time, and his chest no longer rose and fell.

"Bang the war drum and order the tiger fighters to attack."

Xiahou Dun turned his head, he didn't look at Li Gan any more.

There is no room for sentimentality on the battlefield, even if a biological brother falls beside him, he cannot be distracted.

Yuquan Pavilion was originally a stronghold to give up voluntarily, but now it is Xiahou Dun who must defend Yuquan Pavilion.

Right now, there is a thick fog, which greatly obstructs the vision. The garrison in the southern mountainous area may have noticed the abnormality, but the army in the eastern mountainous area and northern hills may be far behind in the news.
