    "Thousands of people?" Wang Shangli and Miao Zhenzong looked at each other and saw deep suspicion in each other's eyes.  Thousands of people are a considerable force, and they must be taken seriously no matter what. The question is, why did the Chu army send thousands of people in this direction?  It makes no sense!  "Did you read it wrong? Did they raise a flag?" Wang Shangli quickly thought of the reason. The opponent might be the Yunnan soldiers coming from the west of Guiyang. If they send a lightly-armed and rapid advance force, they happen to be  If you take the wrong path, you may end up behind the mountain in the northwest direction.  There is another possibility that the Chu army's baggage troops were transporting supplies to the 75th Division. They didn't know that there was a fight ahead, so they rushed into the battlefield in a daze.  "They were flying the square flag of the Chu thieves, but the flag number was unknown." Both the Chu Army and the Western Army were flying the red battle flag of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Kefan followed the custom of later generations and stipulated that the Chu Army's battle flag must be rectangular. The Western Army and the Chu Army  After the war started, in order to facilitate the identification of ourselves and the enemy, only triangular battle flags were used, so that they could be easily distinguished from each other.  "That's the grain transport team of the Chu thieves." Wang Shangli came to the conclusion very confidently, and added: "Since the thieves have come to our door, we can't let them go." He ordered Miao Zhenzong to lead a thousand soldiers to eliminate them.  Although the opponent of this confused Chu army's baggage force has thousands of people, they are auxiliary soldiers without combat effectiveness. They can't even guarantee that each person has a self-defense weapon. To deal with them with a thousand soldiers is definitely an overkill. In order to speed up the attack,  Marching speed, these thousand soldiers all wore convenient light armor and leather armor, and there were no clumsy and slow armored soldiers.  This was a free achievement. There was almost no risk. It just required some effort. After Miao Zhenzong set off, he divided a thousand soldiers into several groups and spread out the search formation like a fishing net. The unarmed auxiliary soldiers watched  When enemies attack in large numbers, they will drop their food bags and run away like frightened rabbits. It is not easy to eliminate them all. By deploying troops in advance, you can capture more prisoners.  After walking the five-mile mountain road in the southwest direction, bypassing two low hills, and chasing westward for a while, Miao Zhenzong neither found the Chu army's grain transport team nor encountered other Western army scouts.  Standing on a high place, I looked carefully around the area. I saw that there were ordinary mountains and hills all around. There was no trace of the large group of people. If the Chu Army's grain transport team had been in this area just now, it would not have left so quickly.  , must have been discovered long ago.  "You are still wrong. There are only a hundred thieves at most, maybe less." Miao Zhenzong was very frustrated when he did not catch the expected fat sheep. He walked in a big circle over the mountains and ridges. It was a very hard job  mission, but not even a hair of the Chu thieves was seen. Since the enemy was not the Chu army's grain transport team, and they were definitely carrying the Chu army's square flag, there is another possibility. They should be the Chu army's scout team.  , the number may be more than a hundred people. The Western Army scouts were too nervous and seriously exaggerated the opponent's strength, thinking that they had a thousand people.  This situation is very common in battlefields with high nervousness. Even the most experienced scouts have difficulty keeping calm when encountering the enemy in a hurry. Most of the first-hand intelligence they provide is confusing and wrong, and they often have self-inflicted errors.  Contradictory phenomena must be confirmed before they can be adopted. After Wang Shangli received the scout's report, he did not send anyone to confirm, but sent Miao Zhenzong to chase the Chu army's grain transport team. This was mainly because the troops were doing nothing and had no dates.  Let¡¯s talk about hitting three poles with dates.  The scouts move quickly. They must have gone far in such a long time. They will probably break into pieces and disperse into small scout teams with small goals. If you want to find and eliminate them in this heavy mountain, it is better than capturing the map.  The difficulty of Yunguan was still high, so Miao Zhenzong did not make such a futile effort. He only added a few groups of sentries on the nearby hills, ordered them to raise smoke to call the police if they found any abnormalities, and then led his troops back.  On the way back, we could take a convenient shortcut, so Miao Zhenzong cut in between the two hills.  Going up and down the mountain, crossing a cheerful mountain stream and passing through a passage shaped like an animal's mouth, Miao Zhenzong's eyes suddenly opened up - Sunrise Peak was in sight, Tuyun Pass was vaguely visible, and the Nanming River was like a crystal clear river.  The jade belt is inlaid between the mountains and fields. From a distance, the mountains look like clusters, and the forest sea looks like waves. From a close look, the red flag rolls, and the swords and guns look like forests. It is a magnificent scenery of mountains and rivers.     Huh?  It seems like something wrong has slipped in.  Miao Zhenzong suddenly turned his head and stared blankly at the two-foot-high red flag not far away. Yes, I read it right just now. It was a rectangular red flag, and it was also a two-foot-high handsome flag, which meant that it had the least number of generals.  He is a general at the level of commander-in-chief or deputy general, which corresponds to the division commander or even the army commander of the Chu army. On the flag is the word "tan" with flying phoenixes. Standing under the flag is a general with bright armor. Behind him is a neat team.  The soldiers held gleaming swords and guns in their hands and wore uniform cotton armor. The long snake-like team filled the entire mountain road, and the end of the team could not be seen."Tan Xiao!" Miao Zhenzong was shocked and called out the name of the enemy general. Then he came to his senses, drew his sword and shouted to the Western soldiers behind him: "My sons, follow me to kill the thieves!" He jumped down and rushed down.  On the mountain road, Miao Zhenzong kicked the scout who reported the news: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry back and call the police to Guyuan Hou, saying that I have met the thief general Tan Xiao. His troops are far more than a thousand.  At least two thousandwell, something like two or three thousand. "This fool still got the number of the Chu army wrong, but it was not an exaggeration, but a reduction and underreporting with more serious consequences, and Miao Zhenzong was now in very danger.  In this situation, with General Miao's rich experience, he could tell at a glance that Tan Xiao had at least two thousand troops, and they were all fully armed soldiers. His thousand light armored soldiers were definitely no match.  Even though you know you are outnumbered, you still have to stand up and fight.  When meeting on a narrow road, the brave will win. This is a basic principle that every general knows. If you turn around and run away now, the enemy will take advantage of the victory and chase you, but you will die faster. Miao Zhenzong hopes to catch Tan Xiao off guard and then retreat quickly.  This will give you a glimmer of hope.  The reason why he sent the scout back to call the police was just in case. If Tan Xiao had more troops than he expected, he would send someone back to call Wang Shangli to call the police. Wang Shangli could prepare for battle in advance and send troops to rescue Miao Zhenzong.  Tan Xiao was also shocked by Miao Zhenzong.  According to the plan, he led 10,000 soldiers to rush to the battlefield from the west side of Tuyun Pass, intending to jump over Wang Shangli's front army and not get entangled with them. Instead, he directly attacked Liu Wenxiu from the flank, trying to defeat his central and front troops.  , the rear army was divided, and then defeated one by one.  The terrain and roads in this area had been repeatedly surveyed in preparation for the war, so the troops advanced very quickly. About a thousand people in the vanguard successfully bypassed Wang Shangli, and Tan Xiao followed up quickly with more than 2,000 people.  Other troops, such as Chen Youlong's Zhenyu troops and Bian Xiang's Ningzhou troops, were further behind on the left and right wings, but they had just climbed over a hill when they collided with Miao Zhenzong.  How did the Western Army get behind the vanguard?  Tan Xiao's heart suddenly sank. The appearance of the Western Army's troops here meant that his whereabouts had been exposed and that he had been cut into pieces by the enemy. This was not a good sign. Although Tan Xiao had 10,000 soldiers, he was marching in the mountains.  There will inevitably be a loss of contact between them. If Wang Shangli stabs him hard in the waist, he will probably lose the battle.  Seeing that Miao Zhenzong only had a thousand men, and they were all lightly armored soldiers, Tan Xiao was slightly relieved. It seemed that the Western Army had also arrived in a hurry. At least they were not ambushed. With the more than two thousand soldiers around him,  , defeating these thousand Western troops is a piece of cake.  "Brothers, follow me to kill the thieves!" Now it's a race against time. Tan Xiao makes a quick decision and throws the two thousand soldiers into the battle at once, without leaving any remaining strength. This is of course very dangerous. If suddenly someone else comes from  When an enemy army comes from the local area, it will be very passive without a reserve team, but Tan Xiao has always fought with a fierce and rushing style. No matter what, he first knocks down the enemy in front of him. This kind of irreconcilable  The tactics of playing cards according to the rules can sometimes achieve better results.  On the mountain road and on the hillside, the two armies engaged in an encounter. Miao Zhenzong only had a thousand light-armored soldiers. Under Tan Xiao's all-out attack, he quickly became unable to withstand it and retreated steadily, suffering heavy casualties.  Seeing that the army was about to collapse and there was no possibility of recovery, Miao Zhenzong kicked down the general's flag and shouted to the Western soldiers: "You guys, the thieves are fierce, follow me back to the camp!" After shouting, Miao  Zhenzong threw away his helmet and took off his armor. He turned around and ran away with only a sword and dozens of soldiers. He had to look like he was running away. If he didn't throw away his heavy helmet and armor, Miao Zhenzong would definitely run away.  However, those soldiers wearing only light armor are likely to die heroically.  The enemy army was defeated. Tan Xiao immediately led his troops to pursue him, followed by Miao Zhenzong's buttocks. In the blink of an eye, he chased for four to five miles, getting closer and closer to Wang Shangli's main force. However, due to lack of intelligence, he did not  To determine the specific location of Wang Shangli, we only have a rough idea.  It went so well!  Someone under his command reminded him that Miao Zhenzong, the Western Army, was acting strangely and was defeated strangely. Be careful that he was pretending to be defeated to lure the enemy. Ordinarily, the Western Army's combat effectiveness was not so weak, and Liu Wenxiu was not so careless. It was possible that he had set up a trap in front of him.  He laid an ambush and asked Miao Zhenzong to introduce the main force of the Chu army into the ambush circle.  "Let's just lure him. We've been exposed anyway, so why are we afraid of luring the enemy? It's best for Liu Wenxiu to set up an ambush. I have 10,000 troops, so he can't afford to go around." Tan Xiao relied on his strong military strength.  Not afraid of being ambushed by the Western Army, they just slowed down a little when passing through some places with difficult terrain, sent scouts to conduct reconnaissance, and then sent people to pass orders to Chen Youlong and Bian Xiang, ordering the Zhenyu soldiers and Ningzhou soldiers to quickly attack.On top of the mountain, they propped up their two wings and marched together to cover each other It turned out that all these worries were unnecessary. Tan Xiao encountered no effective resistance along the way. Only the alarm bells were lit on several surrounding hills.  Wolf smoke.
