The sudden entry of the Daming Caves led to the complete collapse of the Qin army camp in the mountains and forests, the combat ability of the soldiers of Wohua Mountain is derived from the condensation of their spirit, and the strong combat ability of the Daming Caves is caused by the strict system, if the orders issued by the superiors, the subordinate soldiers did not comply or strictly abide by them, then they will face the same punishment as deserters. This is also the reason why in the Daming Grottoes, everyone calls the poisonous dragon an adult, rather than a commander or commander.

Pang Lu realized that his 40,000 soldiers and horses had been consumed by the soldiers and horses of Wohua Mountain and Daming Cave, even if there were still more than 10,000 remnants, but the army's morale was in chaos, the army was already in a state of rout, and it was no longer so easy to regroup. In this battle, he lost after all, whether it was because he was a bad move, or Daming Grotto became the biggest variable, he lost. The defeat was so complete that it could almost be regarded as the biggest defeat since he led the troops.

Jin Lin is not proficient in martial arts, so he has been guarding Pang Lu's side, at this time the whole army was defeated, this famous general in the Qin Dynasty finally showed imperceptible tiredness, which means that he has admitted his defeat, this battle will become an indelible stain in the history of Pang Lu's army.

"Governor, retreat, the poisonous dragon has already rushed over, General Sun Huan is fighting in front, but the bandit army is strong, I'm afraid it won't last long. ”

Hearing Jin Lin's advice, Pang Lu was still a little distracted, but the battle situation that could be seen in his eyes was in front of him, just like this situation that could not be reversed, and he had no way out.

Pang Lu sighed and said, "That's it, at such an age, I still can't see the success or failure of the soldiers, it seems that there is a reason why I really can't serve as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses." Inform them to retreat!"

A few gloom flashed in Jin Lin's eyes, and his voice choked up: "Governor ......"

Pang Lu said: "Needless to say, retreat quickly, the poisonous dragon son will definitely want to kill us all, we can't go his way." It's just that these people can save 10,000 people, which is already good. ”

"Governor!" Jin Lin sighed heavily, and finally left with the military order.

After that, the Qin army retreated westward, after entering the Jiaozhi Plain, it was once again pursued by the cavalry of the Daming Caves, and the losses along the way were numerous, and when they were about to reach the Jiaozhi City, the Daming Caves withdrew the pursuers.

The generals of the Qin army thought that they could take a break, but then another news came, but it was the last of their mentality.

The sentry knelt under Pang Lu's horse, Pang Lu couldn't believe his ears, and the pent-up anger made him unable to control his emotions anymore: "You, say it again!"

The sentry detective's face was frightened, and his body was already trembling, but he still said with Pang Lu's angry eyes: "Mu Yucheng, Luo Yaohua, and Kou Xiuyong The three generals were attacked and killed by the barbarians on the way to Sihai City with their troops, and later there was a man in black with extremely high martial arts, who killed Mu Yucheng and General Luo Yaohua standing in front of him, General Kou Xiuyong was nowhere to be found, and 10,000 soldiers and horses also suffered heavy losses in the chaotic battle. ”

"Bastard!" Pang Lu turned over and dismounted, kicked the sentry down, he was already furious at this time, he actually pulled out the sword at his waist, intending to kill the sentry with a sword, but was stopped by Jin Lin was stopped, although the life of a sentry is not very important, but at the time of this defeat, the army killed the soldiers, I am afraid it will have another impact on the morale of the army.

Pang Lu calmed down, his face was grim, and he said in a low voice: "Barbarians, how could barbarians appear in Sihai City? What other black-clothed man can actually kill Mu Yucheng and Luo Yaohua head-on, is this news confirmed? What about that sentry? Bring it to me." ”

Qiong Leshuang stepped forward at this time and said, " Governor, the sentinel has left timidly, I will almost ask the matter clearly, at that time, the man in black faced by Mu Yucheng and the three of them was masked, and the soldiers did not see their identities clearly, and the three of them who were fighting with Mu Yucheng fell into contact with them at the beginning, because of the participation of the barbarian soldiers, the entire battlefield was extremely chaotic, but many of them saw that Mu Yucheng and General Luo Yaohua were killed, and General Kou Xiuyong saw that he was unable to defeat the enemy, so he led the man in black to leave the army, in fact, it is not said whether he is dead or alive now. ”

Zhu Gai snorted coldly, Mu Yucheng and Kou Xiuyong were both his subordinate generals before, and now that they have suffered this catastrophe, he is also the most angry, he said: "To be able to fight head-on with three martial arts masters whose strength has reached the peak of the eighth stage, and still have the upper hand steadily, this cannot be an ordinary martial artist, can have this kind of ability, the opponent must be the ninth stage grandmaster, there is no such master among the barbarians, and the identity of the person who shot has been revealed." ”

Lu Xingyang sneered: "Does the vanguard mean that it was the three generalissimos of soldiers and horses who colluded with the barbarians to kill my Qin generals? I don't know very well who the vanguard refers to? Is it Yu Kongsang, the generalissimo of the western soldiers, or Meng Chengyan, the generalissimo of the eastern army?"

"You ......" Zhu Gai couldn't help but be furious when he heard Lu Xingyang's attitude being so unruly, and scolded: "Lu Xingyang, pay attention to your identity, I now have reason to suspect that you betrayed Kou Xiuyong's generals!"

Lu Xingyang shrugged his shoulders, as if he was not afraid of Zhu Gai's pressure with such an attitude, and said in a loud voice: "I just said one word, which caused the pioneer to be so suspicious, if I say a few more words, does the pioneer want to say it directly, and the man in black who shot is what I pretended?"

Zhu Gai shouted, "You...... Even if your father is the prince of the court, he can't be so arrogant......"

"That's enough!" Pang Lu broke Zhu Gai's words, his cold eyes scanned the two of them, and said, "Zhu Gai, stop, this is not a place for you to quarrel." Moreover, Lu Xingyang didn't rely on him as the son of Taifu, you just have to be more tolerant. ”

Zhu Gai caught a glimpse of Lu Xingyang still smiling, but Pang Lu's face was solemn, and it was clear that Pang Lu was afraid of something, Zhu Gai thought about it carefully, and closed his mouth helplessly.

Pang Lu said: "Kou Xiuyong still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and there should be not much left of the 10,000 horses, since the barbarians are going north, then the current belonging of Sihai City should also be them." The Barbarian Emperor has been in the Barbarian Land, except for the Barbarian Emperor and the Ten Barbarian Commander Gan Yaliu, there will be no masters who can crush Luo Yaohua and the others, so the identity of this black-clothed man has become extremely suspicious. ”

Jin Lin analyzed: "The barbarian army is heading north, which means that the barbarian emperor's strategy has begun to change, and it is very likely that this is the beginning of the barbarians' invasion of my Wohua Mountain, and after occupying Sihai City, their combat position will become extremely extensive." Although Sihai City is not a high-risk pass, but the location is extremely superior, to the east can form a containment of Jiaozhi City, to the south can rely on the Jiaozhi Mountains, to the north can march to the hinterland of our Qin Dynasty, if not stopped, I am afraid that the barbarians are likely to occupy more cities. ”

Qiong Le Shuangdao: "The barbarian soldiers are actually not terrible, the reason is that they did not occupy Sihai City through their own schemes, and the attack on Mu Yucheng's three generals was the second barbarian commander Jin Han's branch stationed south of the Jiaozhi Mountains, Jin Han and the six barbarian commander Chi Dun and the fourteen barbarian commander Nu Ergon do not have such vision and resourcefulness, they are naturally manipulated by a mysterious person behind them, or this game is arranged by that person." ”

When Pang Lu heard Qiong Leshuang's words, he suddenly seemed to understand something, and shouted: "The only person who can arrange this kind of scheme is only one person in this Jiaozhi region. ”

"Who?"

"Mu Ya, a staff officer in the Wohua Mountain Army. ”

Pang Lu waved his hand and ordered the whole army, and said: "The generals listen to the order, quickly integrate the soldiers and horses, and gallop to Jiaozhi City, fearing that Jiaozhi City will be lost." ”

The army marched at full speed again, and when they came to Xiaoyong City, the corpses of the dead Qin soldiers were already piled up in front of the city gate, and the battle flag of Wohua Mountain had been replaced on the head of the city, and the standing place on the head of the city was Meng Lang, the fifth commander of Wohua Mountain, and Chu Hong, the eighth commander.

Seeing Pang Lu leading the army coming, Chu Hong immediately ordered the archers to release arrows and force the Pang Lu army back for a distance, Meng Lang said on the city: "Governor Pang Lu, your Jiaozhi City has been taken by us, if you know the current affairs and come quickly, we will definitely treat each other with courtesy." ”

"This person is too arrogant, let me come forward and knock on the city and knock Xiao Yong down again!" Sun Huan took the lead, but before the long knife was waved, it had been stopped by Pang Lu.

"Sun Huan retreat!" Pang Lu Zhengse said: "Don't be reckless, we don't know the number of enemy troops yet, so as not to fall into the trap of mountain bandits." I had arranged 6,000 soldiers and horses in Xiaoyong City before, but now I am missing, and I am afraid that they have been killed by these people in Wohua Mountain. Our main task now is to explore Jiaozhi City, Jiaozhi City has Su Jie in charge, and there are close to 30,000 armor soldiers to guard, it will not be so easily captured by those remnants of Wohua Mountain, I am afraid that now Jiaozhi City is being attacked by Wohua Mountain, we should support as soon as possible. ”

The generals echoed and said yes, Pang Lu took a group of soldiers to look at the direction of Jiaozhi City again, although Chu Hong's archers have been shooting arrows, but they can't stop it.

"What should I do? Pang Lu seems to have seen through it, I don't know what happened to Jiaozhi City, what if they can't stop Lao Jin?"

Meng Lang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Mu Ya has already taken a countermeasure, they can't attack it, as long as Pang Lu finds that Jiaozhi City has been lost, he will definitely not stay here, continue to stay here, the situation is unfavorable for them." Pang Lu is a smart man, and he will be withdrawn soon. ”

Chu Hong also smiled and said, "To be honest, Mr. Mu Ya's strategy this time is a bit too profound, and I haven't figured it out until this time, how did he manage to take Jiaozhi City with this remnant army?"

Meng Lang said: "Is this...... Actually, I don't know very well, it seems that among the soldiers who defend the city are our people, otherwise I really can't tell the story. ”

Chu Hong waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, I can't say these clearly, I'll leave first, something will call me." Now that we have occupied a city, we don't have to stay in the mountains and forests. ”

Meng Lang didn't know what he was going to do, now Pang Lu has suffered a heavy blow, although they have lost a lot in Wohua Mountain, but they have successfully taken Jiaozhi City, under the protection of the deep walls of this high city, they can live a stable life, Chu Hong naturally wants to talk about life with her confidante, thinking of this, he is a little envious.

Under Jiaozhi City, Pang Lu looked at the battle flags on the high walls of Jiaozhi City, as well as the countless dead corpses in front of the city, and he knew that Jiaozhi City had changed hands, which made the last bit of hope instantly shattered.

Jin Lin said unwillingly: "How is it possible? Wohua Mountain obviously has only one army left, how can it be possible to knock on the door of Jiaozhi City? As soon as Jiaozhi City is lost, we will lose the foundation of the comeback, so where is our army going!"

Pang Lu was no longer angry at this time, and all that remained was his composure in a desperate situation, and he thought: "It is indeed difficult to knock on the pass with the strength of Wohua Mountain, but if there are people in Jiaozhi City who also want us to leave, it will be very easy. ”

Zhu Gai said: "What does the governor mean that there are spies in Wohua Mountain in Jiaozhi City?"

Jin Lin said: "There are spies who naturally can't do this step, in the past, we and the Jiaozhi City Lord Yang Ta Feng jointly governed Jiaozhi City, but the governor took us away just now, this kind of thing happened, and Yang Ta Feng is the biggest suspect." Even if it's not him, it's inseparable from his subordinates. ”

Pang Lu's eyes flashed with light, he glanced at several generals under him in turn, and said slowly: "It should be Yangtafeng, I still ignore this city lord, who can regain his authority under the coercion of the three overlord families, naturally it can't be a general, if I guess correctly, Yangtafeng should be resting drinking tea in the city lord's mansion at this time!"

"This Yangta Feng is really a scourge, I should have known that I should have wiped out all his forces as soon as possible!" Li Zhengxing said fiercely. The other generals were also indignant, fearing that they would have entered the city if it had not been forced by the situation.

Pang Lu said indifferently: "Let's go, now Jiaozhi City is no longer our Jiaozhi City, if we continue to stay, it is inevitable that these mountain bandits in Wohua Mountain will attack us, and in that situation, it will be difficult for us to get out." ”

Sun Huan said, "Governor, where are we going now?"

Pang Lu said: "I don't know, anyway, let's go out first." ”

At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared on the high wall of Jiaozhi City, but it was Liang Jin, Lin Han, Luo Hu, and Jiang Ming, Luo Hu shouted: "Governor Pang Lu has a little rest, we haven't done a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, how can we go in such a hurry?"

Sun Huan and the other generals had already tightened their grip on the weapons in their hands, and even these ordinary soldiers had already smelled the breath of war in the air, but Pang Lu waved his hand, just a movement, and the soldiers all settled down.

Pang Lu turned his back to Jiaozhi City and said, "I don't know if Mr. Mu Ya, the staff officer of your army, is here?"

Liang Jinhong said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Governor Panglu, Mr. Mu Ya is newly cold, I shouldn't be able to go out of the city to meet the governor, but if the governor has anything to convey to Mr. Mu Ya, I am extremely willing." ”

Pang Lu pondered for a moment and said, "Tell Mu Ya that his hand is very exciting, and I admire him." ”

Liang Jin smiled: "I don't know what Governor Pang Lu said?"

Pang Lu groaned: "Secretly pass the Daming Cave to control my troops, turn to attack Jiaozhi under the cauldron and sink the boat, privately cooperate with the sheep tower to deceive my Jiaozhi City, persuade the barbarians to go north to attack Sihai City, and hide a master to behead my general, although there is no direct evidence that these things are Mu Ya's scheme, but I can feel that this is all his handiwork." I have led the army for more than 30 years, and I don't feel ashamed to be able to lose to such an opponent. ”

After hearing this, Liang Jin's face changed suddenly, Pang Lu not only broke Mu Ya's plan with one word, but also showed this kind of bearing, which is enough to see the extraordinaryness of a real veteran, if Pang Lu can scold, it would be good, at least it would make Liang Jin feel that it was a normal person's reaction, but Pang Lu's look made him feel palpitations.

If Pang Lu is allowed to make a comeback, Wohua Mountain will once again face a huge crisis.

Liang Jin wanted to say something, but seeing that Pang Lu had already left with the army, Jiang Ming's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he said, "Liang Jin, do you want to make a move?"

Liang Jin sighed lightly and said: "Pang Lu is also extremely powerful, I am afraid that he has seen through the situation early, although we will now expel the Qin army in Jiaozhi City, but now we can only use Jiaozhi City as my fortress, with our current strength is simply not enough to fight with Pang Lu, even if he is only a remnant, it cannot be cleaned up by us." ”

Lin Han said: "Don't worry, Pang Lu's army has nowhere to go now, they are not like us can camp on the spot at any time, lost Jiaozhi City, maybe Emperor Qin will directly remove him from his position, and the threat of Pang Lu to us in the short term is almost minimized." ”

Jiang Ming also nodded in agreement, but for Pang Lu's posture, there was always a fear that he couldn't speak, and it seemed that this kind of lurking person was the most terrifying.

Liang Jin asked, "Jiang Ming, I don't know where Mr. Mu Ya is now?"

Jiang Ming said: "Mu Ya should be with his wife, but I don't know where it is. However, he told me not long ago that he wanted to take a walk around the city, and that he had not yet been to this very prosperous city, and that he might be traveling with a beautiful woman somewhere. ”

Liang Jin looked at everyone with a wry smile and said, "As long as he is safe, this time it all depends on Mr. Mu Ya's good plan, we can get out of danger, and we also captured Jiaozhi City as a barrier for our temporary protection, if there is no Mr. Mu Ya, maybe we will die on the battlefield at this moment." ”

Lin Han and the others also smiled casually, but Jiang Ming didn't laugh, and said with a serious face: "Liang Jin, you should have a great change in your opinion of Mu Ya after this time, right? Mu Ya is actually not easy, in the past, I didn't think I had the right to speak for Mu Ya, but now, I can say that Mu Ya is actually not easy." At the beginning, he kept his hand on the matter of left and right, and that was the greatest understanding for them, but you were indifferent to each other because of Mu Ya's attitude, and I hope you can be reconciled, no matter in which aspect. ”

Liang Jin, Lin Han, and Luo Hu all had complicated faces, and when they looked at Jiang Ming at this moment, they were a little apologetic, Liang Jin hesitated for a long time, and said, "We will apologize to Mr. Mu Ya in person." ”

Jiang Ming nodded lightly, as if he was a little distracted: "Mu Ya, you're leaving soon, right?"

Mu Ya once said that September 3rd was the time of his parting.

He remembers.
