A grain transport team composed of other wooden ox carts was marching northward along the rugged Qishan Road. In addition to the barbarian soldiers who controlled wooden ox, there were also two guard soldiers, led by general Wang Ping himself.

Wang Ping had already completed the transportation of grain to Licheng. Just when he was about to return to Wudu County, he received an emergency order from Liu Jing, asking him to immediately lead a wooden bull to go north to support Huang Zhong.

At this time, the wooden ox carriage led by Wang Ping was driving on the official road to Qishan. Although the road was rugged, the wooden ox controlled by the barbarian soldiers was still walking like flying. They had fully mastered the wooden ox's driving skills and adapted to the situation on the Qishan Road. They marched together to be able to handle it.

At this time, a patrol cavalry rushed back to report, "Report to General Wang, Luo Yingtang is ahead, how should we go?"

Luoyingtang is a place name and is also a fork point of Qishan Road. Qishan Road is divided into two east and west roads. Going east is a straight road. It is relatively close to Xicheng. The road is also flat and spacious, but you have to pass through Qishan Fort, and going west is a curve, which is dozens of miles away from the east, but it will not be intercepted by Cao's army.

Wang Ping thought about it, but did not rush to answer, but shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone rested on the spot for half an hour."

The soldiers pushed the wooden ox to the side and sat on the ground to rest and drink water. At this time, Wang Ping said to the scout again: "Go to explore the situation along the west road and be careful of being ambushed by the enemy's patrol."

"Just the order" Scout Shi bowed his fists and led his two subordinates to turn his horse's head and run north.

Just as the Han soldiers were resting, on the mountainside not far away, two Cao army surveillances were watching the situation of the Han army's grain transport team. They observed for a long time and looked at each other. The two quickly left the mountainside and ran north from a small one.

Half an hour later, the Han army finished resting and started to go back again. Wang Pingling said: "Let the fork ahead and go west, and go north on the west road of Qishan."

The barbarian soldiers pushed the wooden ox cart, and the wooden ox set out north in a row again.

Jiao Huang received a report from the inquiry in the afternoon and found another strange wooden car of the Han army. The wooden car was very large, but it only took one person to control it. There were about five Han soldiers. Jiao Huang immediately realized that this wooden car might be the wooden cattle that Cao Ren had reminded him again. It is said that the Cheng attached importance to this wooden cattle and ordered that a batch of wooden cattle be captured.

This made Jiao Huang's heart start to shake. Huang Zhong's army headed north to the west city and the sky had passed. The east road of Qishan was completely quiet. No Han army passed by here anymore, and even the Han army's patrol scouts could not see it.

At the same time, Jiao Huang also received an order from Cao Ren yesterday, allowing him to act according to the situation, that is, when ensuring safety, he could send troops to attack the Han army's rations road, and he would make the decision himself.

Moreover, Jiao Huang realized that Cao Ren was already in the West City at this time and was less than inside, which made Jiao Huang feel embarrassed. He asked him to make his own decisions, and the consequences of the failure would be borne by him. Jiao Huang paced back and forth in the room, and both of his subordinates agreed to attack the Han army ration team.

"General, we can ambush the enemy's ration team in the north. Whether they go on the east or west roads, they will eventually join the north. Then we will ambush the enemy at the north junction point, and it is not far from us, only more than ten miles."

Another general also advised: "The key is that the other party is using a wooden cow. The Prime Minister does not have an order. Will those who can seize the wooden cow in the Han army be given a heavy reward? This is our opportunity. If we let it go in vain, we will be really stupid."

The key is that the Muniu is also moved. He does not want to give a generous reward, but a Muniu. If he can seize it, the Prime Minister will definitely be very happy. He will have hope of being a marquis. Thinking of this, Jiao Huang finally made up his mind.

"Okay, let's send troops to ambush the enemy's ration team."

He said to a general: "You can lead the five troops to guard the camp. I will lead the army to ambush myself. I will also give you a reward from the Prime Minister and will not treat you badly."

Ya Jiang was overjoyed and bowed: "Abide by the orders of humble duties"

A quarter of an hour later, Jiao Huang led 1,008 Cao army soldiers to leave Qishan Fort and quickly headed north. He had to cut off the enemy's troops before the opponent's grain team.

The east road of Qishan is about fifty miles long, while the west road of eighty miles is eighty miles long. Not only does it take ten miles of curves, but the ground is also uneven and narrow, which is much harder than the east road. It was not until the next morning that the Han army ration team completed this difficult journey, and the soldiers were really tired.

Wang Ping immediately looked at the map and walked five or six miles to the intersection of the east and west roads. The road would become flat and wide, leading to the west city.

He pondered for a moment, then looked around at the terrain. They had already walked out of a section of valley, and the terrain became wider, with large forests spreading in the distance, extending all the way to the north.

Wang Ping looked back at the soldiers. Seeing that each soldier was sweating profusely and panting with exhaustion, he couldn't bear it and ordered, "Stop and rest for an hour."

With the order, the soldiers didn't bother to push the wooden cow to the side and sat down and leaned on the wooden cow to rest. Wang Ping did not rest. He climbed up a big tree and looked around. He knew very well that if Cao's army wanted to ambush them, this area would be the best terrain.

Especially the forest ahead is dense and deep, which is very suitable for ambushing. He cannot move forward any further. If he moves forward, he will enter the range of enemy crossbow arrows. Wang Ping is cautious and has a good mind. He knows the tasks he is carrying on this trip, but he also cherishes soldiers and is unwilling to let soldiers sacrifice unnecessary.

So the rest place he chose was very clever. The enemy could not ambush with crossbow arrows, so he could only rush out of the forest to raid. At this time, a frightened bird suddenly flew over the distant forest. Wang Ping suddenly became alert. He jumped off the tree and shouted: "If there is an enemy situation, prepare for battle."

The barbarian soldiers who were sitting on the ground resting all got up one after another. They had experienced countless emergency training and immediately moved quickly to straighten the wooden ox. At the same time, they took the bows and arrows from the wooden ox and hid behind the ox cart.

Before they could prepare, there were shouts of killing on both sides of the forest. Nearly two thousand Cao soldiers came out from both sides and rushed towards the dock of the wooden bull. It was the nearly two thousand Cao troops led by Jiao Huang. They wanted to ambush the other party with crossbow arrows, but the other party was resting outside the range. In addition, the number of the other party was not large, only about five people. Jiao Huang was worried that the night was long and dreamed, so he ordered a surprise attack.

Two thousand Cao troops rushed to the Han soldiers resting on the side of the official road like a tide. At this time, the Han soldiers fired arrows behind the wooden ox together, and the arrows flew in the air. The Cao soldiers screamed and fell to the ground. These Han soldiers were all from barbarians, and their archery skills were accurate. Moreover, the Han soldiers' bows and arrows were much sharper than their earth bows. Even though Cao's army raised their shields to greet them, the more Cao's army was shot down.

But after all, the number of Han soldiers was small and could not stop Cao's army from swarming. Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer to the Muniu convoy, Wang Ping stared at the enemy who was coming up. The enemy had entered within ten steps. Wang Ping gave the order and "release the crossbow"

The front of the wooden ox is nine-hole crossbow arrows, and the hanging knife is located behind the chariot. The crossbow arrows are usually not stringed, but today they have prepared in advance. The famous Han soldiers pulled the hanging knife together, and only a sound of a crossbow machine was heard. The two thousand seven short arrows shot out by the wooden ox were shot at the Cao army soldiers like a storm.

The powerful short arrow shot through the shield, and the Cao army soldiers screamed loudly. The two people running in front were shot to the ground one after another. Each of them was shot several arrows. A Cao army general also got five arrows and died tragically on the spot. The Cao army soldiers were in chaos, their positions were unstable, and the impact quickly subsided. The soldiers who were lucky enough to have not been shot in the arrow rushed to turn around and flee.

At this time, the second round of bows and arrows of the Han soldiers were shot out, and many Cao soldiers running back were shot over. Jiao Huang was stunned. He did not expect that the wooden ox could shoot arrows, and it was so powerful that in just one round of shooting, Yu's subordinates fell to the ground by arrows.

Although the Han army attacked sharply, it did not cause a fatal blow to Cao's army. Jiao Huang quickly calmed down his mind and shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, the enemy has only five people, keep the position."

The Cao army escaped fifty steps away. After repeated shouts from the main general Jiao Huang, they finally stabilized and began to reorganize the team. They held their shields high, held spears in their hands, and formed a dense shield formation. They no longer ran, but approached the Han army step by step in an orderly manner.

In this way, the bows and arrows of Han soldiers lost their killing effect, and the second round of arrows in wooden cows took time and there was no time to prepare. Wang Ping gave the order and "retreat"

The Han soldiers left the Muniu and followed Wang Ping to retreat south quickly. The Cao army did not pursue them. Their target was a Muniu. Jiao Huang was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to push all the Muniu away, but soon discovered the problem. The wheel was stuck in the mechanism and could not be pushed at all. No one would operate the complex mechanism below.

"General, the wheel is stuck, I don't know where the problem lies."

Jiao Huang stamped his feet in anger and ordered: "Let me find the reason immediately. Those who find the reason will reward you with five taels of gold."

The Cao army soldiers were all lying under the wooden ox to look for the switch. At this moment, there were loud drums around, and countless Han soldiers came from all directions. For a veteran, they held a golden-backed tiger-toothed sword. It was the main general Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong pointed the Cao army soldiers with a long sword and shouted: "I am Huang Zhong, you are surrounded and you will not surrender quickly."

More than a thousand Cao army soldiers were so scared that they were at a loss. Jiao Huang knew that he had been trapped and shouted, "Brothers, go out with me."

He turned his horse's head and ran south, and ran less than a step. A Han army came out of the forest. It was the five barbarian soldiers led by Wang Ping. Wang Ping fought quickly and rushed to Jiao Huang's eyes in an instant, "The enemy general was killed."

He shouted loudly, and slashed away like lightning. Jiao Huang was caught off guard and was killed by Wang Ping on his horse. The dead body fell to the ground. Seeing that the chief general was dead, Cao's soldiers fled around and knelt down and surrendered.

Huang Zhong comforted him in his heart, raised his head and laughed, "What a long line to catch big fish, the military advisor is indeed a clever plan."

At dusk, five thousand Han troops appeared again at the Qishan Fort. Huang Zhong ordered people to send Jiao Huang's head up the mountain, and the Cao army soldiers were limited to surrender within one hour, otherwise the camp would be set on fire and no one would survive.
