In the evening, Liu Youzhu came to Qin Chuan dejectedly and said hesitantly that Bayala was accidentally killed by him.

Not all of them were done by him. Many Guandi Army soldiers had their share, and Batu tribes always went over to punch a few times while they were idle, and they were both easy or heavy.

Qin Chuan wanted to scold him, but after opening his mouth, he still couldn't scold him in the end. He just asked him to make the heads of the people and keep them for food.

Jiannu’s head level is easy to identify. His scalp, which has been shaved since childhood, is very different from his newly shaved scalp and can be recognized at a glance.

At the same time, Jiannu's head is also the most valuable. After being pulled back, many people are willing to exchange silver and grain for exchange, and they may even make a fortune.

Without the prisoners, Qin Chuan didn't know how many enemies there were in Guihua City, nor did he know how many troops the Later Jin Dynasty would send to join the Fan family.

He could only reduce unnecessary activities by his subordinates and try not to use horsepower. In addition to shift surveillance, the others slept in the ground nest after eating and drinking. The horses were tied up in the shelter of the ground nest and fed one pound of beans and two pounds of hay every two hours.

Among them, Qin Chuan, Jiujishan old bandits, and Zhao Wuliao's mounts were fed eggs to achieve the peak of their physical strength.

At the same time, Qin Chuan re-improved the retreat plan. If the Later Jin Dynasty came too many troops, he would retreat without hesitation.

Liao Sanqin and Batu both came back, but there were still more than a dozen people outside and continued to intercept and kill the Fan family's spies.

Luo Wentian had already led the two hundred old men and weak men from the Chier Mountain tribe of Mongolia out of the border wall and was heading towards the west as planned to cooperate with Qinchuan to attack the Fan family's grain transport team in that area.

Lao Huang also sent someone to report the message, saying that after the Zhang family and other large households delivered the grain to the Fan family at the lever head, they returned to Lan County. The grain team was taken over by the Fan family. They had already passed the lever head, and there were a thousand guards coming towards the Qingshui River.

Qin Chuan was in a serious mood after receiving the news.

In addition to the Mongolian Chiershan tribes such as Batu, he only had 680 cavalry, and the Fan family alone had only 1,000 people, and the Jiannu and the Mongolian tribes were not included.

This battle is very difficult to fight.

...

Early the next morning, Qin Chuan was awakened by the sound of rapid footsteps in his sleep. He subconsciously picked up the long knife beside his pillow and rushed out of the ground.

The old bandits in Jiuji Mountain in several surrounding areas also rushed out with their knives.

"It's me, the Bobcat."

In the morning light, a short figure hurriedly spoke.

Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief: "What's so urgent?"

"Jiannu is here, the boss is here, Jiannu is here." Bobcao ran over with excitement.

Qin Chuan frowned: "How many people have come? Where have they been?"

"When I came back to report the news, they were still ten miles away, and now they should be five miles away. It was too dark and I couldn't see how many of them were, but I guess there were hundreds, and it must be only a thousand. There were no mules and carriages, all light riders."

Hearing the words of the bobcat, Qin Chuan frowned slightly and began to think carefully.

The lack of mules and horse carriages means that this Jiannu was not here to trade.

If they have found out that they are fake, they should not only come, but they cannot rule out that the opponent's troops are insufficient or the troops are divided into attacks.

In short, plan for the worst.

If they just want to contact the Fan family in advance and check the food, things will be easier.

You can eat this group of people first and then plot against other enemies.

"Boss, why don't we set up an ambush in Jingai Mountain?" Liu Youzhu suddenly came over and said.

Qin Chuan shook his head: "It is probably too late to set up another ambush at this time. It is impossible for Jiannu to have no spies in the marching. It can't be hidden from the other party. We can only wait for the effort to trick them into taking the bait and then attack and kill them suddenly."

After thinking about it carefully, Qin Chuan ordered: "Divide people into two parts, one is 300 people on the gentle slope by the river. Don't get too close to the grain truck, be ready to rush down at any time. The other part is with me to greet the river. Don't bring so many javelins and hide behind the grain truck. When Jiannu is halfway through, follow my order to rush to rush at any time."

"Li Dingliang, you sent some people to demolish a few land nests and lay a road on the river beach to let Jiannu know that we are welcoming them."

"When the war begins, first use the javelin to break the opponent's forward. If you are sure of your head, you will aim for others. First, kill the opponent's Bayala. These people are the elites of Jiannu, and they are basically wearing double armor or even three armors. Some of them wear iron armor on the outside, which is easy to recognize. Even if you don't wear outside, your whole body will be very bloated."

"Liu Youzhu, you should first lead people to tear down a few nests and prepare the wood. After the war begins, you will immediately lay a bridge on the river beach two hundred steps to the west, and then lead 300 people to kill the river from there, encircle Jiannu, and force Jiannu into the narrow river beach at the foot of Jingai Mountain in the east."

"Zhao Wu, tell Batu that he would take his eighty tribe warriors and prepare the wood. Once Liu Youzhu crossed the river, he would immediately pave the way across the river. There was no need to fight against Jiannu, just restrain the other party."

"yes."

Zhao Wu turned his head and chatted with Batu next to him for a while.

After hearing this, Batu focused heavily at Qin Chuan and patted his thick chest.

Qin Chuan said again: "Zhao Wu, you can pick up twenty bows and arrows to make it good. Come with me to welcome Jiannu by the river. As soon as the war begins, shoot the opponent's general first. By the way, how is Jiannu's horse armor rate?"

Zhao Wu replied: "It's rare. Jiannu lacks iron, and the armored soldiers are only 30% to 40%. There are very few war horses in armor, but their generals are basically wearing two layers of armor. It is difficult to shoot through the armor-breaking arrows twenty steps away. When I go to the point where I shoot their horses first, and then use a javelin to break the armor."

"Okay, then you can adapt to the situation. Liao Sanqin followed me to attack the battlefield. You two are most familiar with Jiannu. Let me tell you about their tactics."

"yes."

Zhao Wu broke a branch from the side, smoothed the soil on the ground, and held a torch to draw and explain on the ground.

The Qingshui River began to get busy, and the Guandi army began to feed horses, tear down the ground nests, check weapons, etc.

...

At dawn, the figure of the spy from the Later Jin appeared on several ridges on the north bank.

Not long after, a cavalry appeared on the North Shore.

There were about five hundred people, and the leader was a burly man in iron armor. His exquisite armor shone in the rising sun, but the mount under his seat was not covered with armor.

On the south bank, Qin Chuan led the 300 Guandi army to stand on a horse fifty steps away from the river. Liu Youzhu led 300 people to stay on the hillside two hundred steps behind, either sitting or wading, or standing up to watch, pretending to be a groom and unloader, looking lazy, Batu and the eighty tribesmen were there.

"The great manager has a total of about 500 people, 300 Tartars, about 200 Jiannu, and about 80 armored men. It should be a Niulu's troops. Jiannu has seventeen or eighty Bayalas in each Niulu."

After Zhao Wu looked carefully for a while, he leaned into Qin Chuan's ear and whispered.

Qin Chuan nodded, then led Li Dingliang and Zhao Wu slowly approached the river.

When the water level of this section of Qingshui River rose, it was five feet wide. After it dried up, the riverbed next to it was so strong that it could be used for mules and carriages, leaving only the silt of the middle of the river, a few feet of streams and a hundred feet of mixed stones left.

They walked straight into the riverbed and stopped twenty steps away from Jiannu.

"Who is coming?"

A Jiannu from the other side asked loudly in skillful Chinese.

Qin Chuan bowed his fists and smiled politely: "My surname is Qin, and I am the manager of the Fan family in Zhangjiakou Fort. I came here to do business with the warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom."

After talking to the leader next to him, Jiannu asked again: "Didn't it be agreed to have 7,000 stones of grain? Why are there only 200 cars?"

Qin Chuan apologized: "I'm really sorry, our master encountered some trouble in the Ming court. There is a place called Loufan Town, just next to Taiyuan. There is a very capable thief who specifically opposes our master. Not long ago, he robbed our master of 5,000 stones of grain. A few days ago, he went to the area of ​​Kelanzhou to attack our Fan family's grain transport team."

"In order not to delay the transaction with the warriors of the Great Jin Kingdom, the master ordered me to bring two thousand stones of food first. After he defeated the thief from behind, he arrived within two days."

Jiannu from the opposite side chatted again and then asked: "Do you say you are from the Fan family, do you have any evidence?"

"this……"

Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed and smiled bitterly: "Dear Warriors, I have never heard from the master that I need to prove my identity by doing business with the Jin Dynasty Warriors, such as codes or tokens, so I have no preparations for this."

"But, Qin has transported two thousand stones of grain here, isn't it enough to be Qin's identity?"

This time, Jiannu quarreled for a while and did not ask any further, but shouted to Qin Chuan: "Since that's the case, why don't you let your people get off the horse and retreat quickly, and wait for us to cross the river to check the food."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Qin Chuan laughed with her, and then her face felt a little embarrassed, "But, Qin is here to trade with the Jin Warriors, why don't you see the warriors' goods?"

"Hmph! Well, you Nikan, how dare you negotiate terms with the Great Jin Warriors? Who gives you the courage?"

This time, the general in the middle spoke and cursed in stiff Chinese.

This general is Tulush.

"I dare not, I dare not."

Qin Chuan hurriedly laughed with him, then shouted to the back.

The three hundred cavalrymen behind dismounted, turned their horses and walked back twenty steps.

At this time, two riders came out of Jiannu's team, came over the bridge set up on the river beach, and walked towards the grain truck parked by the river with a knife.

Qin Chuan smiled all over his face and accompanied the two riders to check the food.

However, he was very distressed. Judging from the other party's situation, he didn't plan to cross the river. He would only cross the river and trade when the large troops behind arrived.

If the other party is just a river, it will be difficult for this group of people to attack. Even if they win, the results will not be too great.

But if we don’t fight, it will probably be even harder to fight once the opponent’s large troops arrive.

The opponent's forward has as many as 500 people, and there will be only more behind. If the total force reaches more than 1,55, even if it is unexpected, it will be difficult for him to have a chance of winning. After all, he only has 680 people, and his individual combat power is not as good as the opponent.

Do you want to fight?

While hesitating, the two Jiannu had stabbed several sacks with knives. After seeing the golden wheat and millet flowing out, they walked towards the grain truck behind them.

"Master, let's do it. If you don't do it, you will have no chance." Li Dingliang whispered from the side.
