These Liang soldiers were old soldiers who had been through many battles on the river. Without waiting for the leader to say more, the two rows of soldiers in front jumped off the horse and immediately lined up in a horizontal line with spears pointing diagonally in front, and behind were archers and raiders. A passage was reserved in the horizontal line for the knights to find an opportunity to rush out. Only the clanging sound of armor was heard. After six or seven breaths, the arrangement was stopped, and there was silence and murderous intent.

Just now, Wu Bing, who had reported the news, had already run back and panted to Huo Yanwei and saluted: "General, there are people setting up bases on the road ahead to guard the traffic. It is a sign that should be Liang Jun! Some of the brothers at the outpost encountered a trap, injured their legs, and were discovered by the guards in the rock village. There was a conflict between the two sides. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

Huo Yanwei nodded and said to a ten general beside him: "You just take twenty riders and bring the people back, so you must not delay!"

"Here!" The ten generals were a man with red faces. They had been impatient for a long time. They whistled and took twenty cavalry to gallop along the mountain road. These were all the soldiers of the Liang army and were skilled in equestrianism. Many people saw that the mountain road was narrow, so they simply rode horses and galloped along the gentler slopes on both sides of the valley road.

The ten generals crossed the mountain pass and saw that more than a dozen men in black robes were retreating along the valley road toward him. They were the Wu soldiers who had just stepped forward. Several of them crossed with a clamp and made a temporary stretcher with a man on them. They must have been the Wu soldiers who were trapped. The remaining Wu soldiers were behind, firing at the pursuers while retreating. About forty or fifty steps apart, the pursuers of Wu soldiers were several times behind. Perhaps because of the fact that Wu soldiers were powerful, these people did not chase them very tightly, but kept firing arrows at the Wu soldiers and did not catch up to fight hand-to-hand combat.

The ten generals immediately made a decision and ordered loudly: "You two are here, give the horse to the wounded soldiers, and come back to the barbarians! Follow me!" With his order, the Liang army knights divided into three groups, spread out their wings, rushed to the hillsides on both sides of the valley road, and clamored loudly. The ten generals, with seven subordinates, formed the simplest vanguard formation and rushed towards the pursuers along the valley road. The pursuers were in full swing. The pursuers were in full swing. Suddenly, he encountered the enemy's cavalry and panicked. The officer in charge shouted loudly and asked his subordinates to resist, but unlike the cavalry on both slopes, they rushed down from a high point, and immediately fell four or five people. The pursuers were in chaos. The ten generals took advantage of the situation to break out of the formation and chopped the officer in charge to the ground with one knife. When the rest saw it, they abandoned their troops and fled. They were chased by the Liang cavalry and shot down many of them.

The ten generals cut over the two of them. Seeing that their subordinates were chasing, they remembered Huo Yanwei's advice just now and shouted loudly: "Forget it, don't chase it!" They blew twice with the copper whistle under the chin. The Liang army knight retreated with unsatisfactoryness, and returned to the corpse of the enemy soldiers who were cut down by themselves, cut off their bloody heads and hung them next to the horse's neck. Since Bianjing was captured, these elite Liang soldiers, under Duan Ning's command, first surrendered to the Jin army, and then lost in a mess, surrendered to the Wu army. Although the soldiers were the main grass, the upper and lower parts were still full of anger. This time, they could finally show their skills in front of the arrogant southern barbarians, which was really proud.

"Boss, we have been beheaded in total at 21 levels. We haven't even scratched the oily skin. How about it? It's not bad!" A Liang soldier said to the ten generals proudly. His voice was particularly loud, and his eyes floated past the Wu soldiers beside him from time to time, and his face was full of flaunting and demonstrating.

"Has anyone caught a living?"

"This!" Liang Bing's face immediately became ugly. He looked back and saw headless corpses lying all over the mountain road. He had to turn around and smile bitterly: "Boss, brothers are holding back a little, and the pursuers are too unbeatable, so-"

"Okay, okay, I'm blaming me for not explaining it clearly in advance! Go back first and report the situation to the general!" The ten generals seemed to be in a good mood, so they waved their hands and signaled their subordinates to return together.

After a while, Huo Yanwei stood in front of the barrier. The main structure of the barrier was a low wall covering a valley, about one and a half feet high. Here, the valley became wider, forming a small small basin, and the low wall was located at the entrance of the basin. The low wall was not straight, but zigzag, so that the side firepower could be used to attack the back of the low wall, and there was also an exit for defenders to attack at the bottom of the zigzag. There were three arrow towers behind the low wall, and the attacking enemy soldiers could be shot with crossbows or firearms; in front of the low wall, there was a trench,

There are a few traps outside the trench, and there are bamboo sticks in the traps and trenches. This was discovered by Wu Bing from the outpost. There is a winding path behind the barrier, extending to the hillside to the right of the valley road. A rock fort on the side of the mountain is not big, and it can accommodate up to a hundred people. However, from the rock fort, you can overlook the entire small basin and is a very important commanding height. From the place where Huo Yanwei is, it is not difficult to see the crowds of people on the low wall. Obviously, the guards knew their arrival through their companions who fled back and were ready to fight.

A cannon sound came from behind the low wall, but the landing point of the shell was still thirty or forty steps away from Huo Yanwei, which was far away. The personal soldiers on the side hurriedly grabbed the reins of the main general, wanting to let him retreat first. The Wu army Chen Zhengwei smiled and said, "Don't worry, just look at the rising smoke and you will know that the guards are using inferior gunpowder and are so far away. Judging from their artillery skills, if he wants him to shoot another ten more guns, I'm afraid he won't hit it!"

Huo Yanwei pushed away the hand of his personal soldiers pulling his reins and said with a smile: "When it comes to artillery, those guards are naturally not as good as those of Captain Chen, but what do you think about the arrangement of these barriers?"

Captain Chen focused on the arrangement of the guards, his face became solemn, and he replied carefully: "Look at the fortifications set up at the entrance and exit of the basin, and it was clearly layered. Considering the shooting boundary and prominent passages, the layout was quite good!" Speaking of this, Captain Chen's face suddenly showed a smug look: "But if you give the villain two cannons, you can take down this barrier at most half a day with the four or five hundred soldiers now."

When Huo Yanwei heard this, his face remained unchanged, but he was slightly surprised. He had experienced Wu Jun's good at using firearms, but he knew that compared to other purely cold weapons troops, the organization, formation and formation of Wu Jun's firearms and cold weapons mixed army were much more complicated. But the Chen-sen lieutenant in front of him was only 23 or 24 years old, and at most, he was a commander-level officer in the Wu Jun, and he could command such a complex combat operation. It was incredible.

While the two were talking, the ten generals had just stepped forward. He showed off in front of his companions, driving the horse until he was only seventy steps away from the barrier, shouting loudly. Although the guards on the barrier shot arrows at him, he pretended that it was fine. He just used a spear to drive the arrows and shouted loudly to the barrier.

"The person behind the wall heard that the military leader behind us is the chief of the Daliang Procuratorate and the governor of Zhongwu Army Huo Yanwei, which camp are you from? Why don't you open the door and let us in?"

There was a stir behind the low wall, and then there was a scream and scolding: "Fuck you, treat your master as a fool. Huo Xianggong has long been lost to the army in the Xiangyang Battle. Where did you come from here? Besides, those guys who were holding muskets just now were obviously Wu Gouzi from the south. They wanted to coax you and me, and be careless here. Be careful that I shot through the guy who was eating on your neck with an arrow!" Speaking of this, an arrow shot from the barrier, piercing deeply into the mud in front of the shouting generals, obviously threatening him.

The ten generals were not afraid and laughed and said, "Which son of the turtle coaxed you? Huo Xianggong was not lost in the army, but surrendered to Da Wu. Now the Great Wu has gone to Luoyang in the northern expedition. Huo Xianggong was ordered by General Manager Zhu of the Great Wu to go to Guanzhong. Those Wu soldiers were the followers of the passing of the Wu army."

The short wall suddenly became quiet. After a moment, a voice shouted: "What's wrong with Huo Gong? Nowadays, there are so many grand lieutenants. Who knows so much? Even if it's him, now he has followed the man surnamed Lu and led the Nanman to attack us, which is even more hateful. If you want to go through it, just kill it with one sword and one shot. If you want to speak vernacularly, don't even think about it!"

The ten generals were also a little annoyed when they heard this, and turned their heads and said, "If you hit, you will be afraid of you. You just heard the accent of the countryside and didn't want to cut the knife!" After that, they were about to turn around, but they saw Huo Yanwei coming to this side. They were about to stop him, but Huo Yanwei pushed him away, took off his helmet and shouted loudly: "I'm Huo Yanwei, and someone who can dominate the matter is here to speak!"

There was a sound behind the low wall. After a moment, a black-faced man climbed up the low wall, bowed to Huo Yanwei, and said, "It's the head of a family, but Huo Gong has now voted for the King of Wu in the south. I guess he is very proud. I may not remember such a bitter fight like Niu Cun."

"Why don't you remember?" Huo Yanwei couldn't hear the sarcasm in the other party's words, and smiled and said, "When a certain family was a camp officer in Hezhong, you were hit by several arrows and fought to the death. Those commands of more than 500 soldiers can come back alive. I, Huo Yanwei, are also a person with a lot of heart. How can you forget such a strong man!"

When Niu Cun heard Huo Yanwei's words, his face calmed down a little, and bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your congratulations, but now you and I are all yours. I am ordered by General Manager He to guard this place. No one from Guandong can pass. Please go back!"

"Niu Cun, I came here not for the war, but for the order of General Manager Zhu of the Great Wu to discuss matters with General Manager He. Please let me go, you know that General Manager He and I have been friends for many years, so he will definitely not blame you!"
