On July 5, Pang Luqin led a large army to attack, gathering 30,000 troops to surround and annihilate the Wohuashan military camp, Liang Jin ordered to hold out, a whole day and a night of siege, heavy cavalry and heavy armor shield soldiers blocked in front, making it difficult for the 30,000 army to go further. Pang Lu sent a sergeant to insult, but was shot and killed on the spot by the longbowmen in the enemy camp, and even sent a six-rank warrior several times, but he still did not avoid the doom of being shot down by an arrow. Pang Lu had to give up the idea of luring the enemy out of the camp, and sent several generals to launch a surprise attack on each camp at the same time, but the defensive ability of the heavy cavalry and heavy armored shield soldiers was too strong, and the physical strength of the soldiers was consumed in vain, and it did not have much effect.

In the early morning of July 6, Lin Han led a light cavalry out of the camp gate in the east, broke through the Panglu array, killed hundreds of enemies, encountered Li Zhengxing's greedy wolf cavalry blocking the way, and turned back to the barracks. At noon, Luo Hu led the armor soldiers to set up a long snake formation, breaking the barrier of the besieging army, the silver spear tiger Lou finally faced the battle, was attacked by the long snake head and tail, a team of nearly 1,000 people was almost wiped out, Jiang Ming suddenly led the army to kill, almost took Lou Zhong's head. An army of longbowmen was secretly moving at the same time, and when Jiang Ming led the troops out of the camp, they shot indiscriminately at a group of armor soldiers who were not protected by shield soldiers, and countless people fled in a hurry everywhere with a rain of arrows. Lin Han and Liang Jin took the opportunity to kill, and completely broke through the encirclement of the soldiers, in the chaos of the army, the enemy generals Sun Huan, Luo Yaohua, and Deng Zhun led troops to rush and kill, but they were scattered by Liang Jin's heavy cavalry.

In the evening, the Wohuashan army launched a full-scale counteroffensive, and defeated 30,000 Panglu's armored soldiers with more than twice its own strength. The battle between the two armies continued in the drums of war, even if the previous defeat was disastrous, but the number of soldiers and horses that Pang Lu had was enough to make up for the losses, but when the war became more and more intense, a cavalry actually rushed out of Jiaozhi City, but it was Mu Ya's earlier arrangement of cloth clothes ambush soldiers, from the rear Pang Lu army smashed to pieces, Pang Lu had to temporarily lead the army back to Jiaozhi City, with Xiao Yong as a horn, in order to Yu Wohua. Since then, the Battle of the Cochin Plain has come to an end.

Yang Tafeng took the initiative to withdraw all the city defense soldiers, and really handed over the garrison of Jiaozhi City to Pang Lu, but at this time Pang Lu was already impatient, in the face of this war with more enemies and fewer enemies, he was defeated without a little temper, and he couldn't even take out the bearing as the governor of the bandits, and the other generals were also demoralized, and it was difficult to speak eloquently.

A sentry rushed in to report: "Back to the governor, my subordinates have found out that all the deployment of military forces in the Wohua Mountain military camp is all in charge of one person, he is the second commander of Wohua Mountain, Liang Jin's personal military staff is named Mu Ya, Liang Jin only manages the military source ordnance, but Mu Ya is in charge of all the tactics of war. According to reliable sources, the long snake formation arranged by Luohu was set up by Mu Ya, and it was also Mu Ya's plan for the longbowmen to break the siege, and even the hiding of troops in Jiaozhi City was also completed by Mu Ya himself. ”

Pang Lu drew his sword, split the case with a sword, and shouted angrily: "The news came that Mu Ya is less than twenty-five years old, and his tactics are so ruthless, the commanders in the Wohua Mountain camp are all so old, and their combat power is also very strong, all the troops they bring out have their own characteristics, not only the ordinary soldiers under my command are difficult to compete with them, but even the generals are not as good as their generals." If Bian Daocheng of the Bian family is here, why did the battle of Bendu lose so badly!"

Pang Lu's implication is to scold the generals for their incompetence, in the face of this ridicule Li Zhengxing, Luo Yaohua, and Lu Xingyang lowered their heads one after another, Deng Zhun and Zhao were most ashamed and kneeling in front of Pang Lu, the most aggrieved was Sun Huan, he had not yet used his ability to play his due momentum, he was retreated by thousands of heavy cavalry, and in the subsequent battle, he had no chance to turn the tide, and even in terms of merit, he was not as good as the injured Lou Zhong.

Sun Huan said: "Uncle, the disciple Sun Huan is willing to lead another army of soldiers and horses to smash the enemy camp with Lou Zhong and Di Lang, if there is no merit, he is willing to accept military law." ”

Before Pang Lu could speak, Lu Xingyang on the side sneered: "I was defeated all the way, and I didn't even dare to turn my head, since I was the general of the defeated army, I still dare to speak out, I really don't know what to say." ”

"You...... You have the courage to say it again!" Sun Huan's eyes widened angrily, he was known as the bloody hand Shura, how could he have suffered such humiliation, he immediately stood up, pulled out the sword at his waist, and pointed directly at Lu Xingyang, if it weren't for Pang Lu sitting here, he was afraid that he would have burst out and kill Lu Xingyang.

Di Lang stood up, looked directly at Sun Huan, and said: "Now that our army is newly defeated, the army's spirit is unstable, where is there an army for you to go straight to the enemy camp? Senior Brother Sun Huan, Senior Brother Lou Zhong is seriously injured, you don't seem to be able to see it? I am a fast swordsman, how can I charge with you? Are you going to give away my and Senior Brother Lou Zhong's lives?"

Sun Huan was furious, although he knew that Di Lang had always been unconvinced of him, but he didn't expect Di Lang to dare to refute him in front of Pang Lu, you must know that when he left the Jinshui Sect, the elder of the sect had specially told him to obey Sun Huan's orders in all actions, how could Di Lang dare to act like this?

"That's enough!" Pang Lu frowned, and scolded: "The general of infighting, there is no good end, I am here, you all have to fight to win or lose, if I am not here, are you going to fight?"

"Di Lang knows his mistake, and Uncle Wangshi is angry!" Di Lang bowed his head for the first time, expressing his image of strictly obeying military orders, Sun Huan scolded secretly, and then saluted to admit his mistake, but obviously there was a different contrast in Pang Lu's eyes.

Pang Lu said: "The urgent need at the moment is to rectify the three armies and rearrange the city defenses, and now we have entered the city of Jiaozhi, with hundreds of thousands of people on our backs, if we are defeated again, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will no longer trust us." Generals, tell me how I should arrange my troops next?"

Deng Zhun said: "The last general thinks that we should first establish a good relationship with the city lord of Jiaozhi, and organize and stabilize the people of Jiaozhi, and our grain and grass are also because of Luohu."

Most of the camp was burned down, so now I can only entrust this responsibility to the Sheep Tower Wind City Lord to help. ”

Pang Lu nodded and said, "What Brigadier General Deng said is very true, do you have any suggestions in other aspects?"

Lu Xingyang said: "Since Yangtafeng has transferred all the tasks of city defense to the governor, we should also give Yangtafeng enough trust, and divide half of the deployment power of the defending army to him to control, and as for the matter of defending the city, now the mountain bandits of Wohua Mountain have completely occupied the Jiaozhi Plain, and they already have the ability to fight a decisive battle with us. ”

Pang Lu said: "It makes sense, General Lu Xingyang's idea is very much in line with my opinion, if the generals have no objections, they will follow this strategy to repair first, and then fight the bandit army in a few days." ”

Sun Huan and the three of them are just ordinary warriors, although they don't know much about things in the army, so they don't dare to say anything else, Zhao Shi, Li Zhengxing, and Luo Yaohua seconded the proposal, so Pang Lu announced: "The generals listen to the order, from now on, the whole army will rest in Jiaozhi City, General Zhao Shi and General Di Lang are guarding in Xiaoyong City, and they are not allowed to go out of the city to meet the enemy without a military order." ”

Compared with the malaise in the Panglu military camp, the Wohuashan military camp was cheering for this hard-won victory, which was suppressed by the tens of thousands of troops of Panglu for a long time, and finally relied on a big victory to turn the situation around, and the day when the Qin soldiers were driven away is no longer far away.

It's late at night, but Jiang Ming hasn't rested yet, tomorrow he will go to the city of Xia Dye, and he will have an appointment in autumn. He still remembered that a few months ago, Qiu Jue had inexplicably bowed to him, and then threatened Mei Yuqi and the five major families of Jiangcheng, so that he had to agree to that promise. At the time of life and death, Jiang Ming needed to save Qiu Jue once. Jiang Ming would not think that this invitation was just a tea drink to catch up with the past, and in the calm, there was a bloody wind storm.

At this time, Lin Han didn't say hello and went into the camp tent, saw Jiang Ming wiping the halberd, and asked, "Tomorrow, are you really going to the invitation of the Fourth Prince?" Jiang Ming smiled indifferently and said, "Do you think I will go to the Qinglou tomorrow to have fun?"

Lin Han said: "It's not impossible?"

Jiang Ming was stunned and said, "Your joke is a proposition, although it is unlikely that I will do it." ”

Lin Han said: "I heard you say before that when you were in Jiangcheng, Qiu Jue and you bowed, so what is the purpose of inviting you this time, do you know?"

Jiang Ming said: "How do you know? Qiu Jue's actions are extremely profound, at that time, when I was talking and laughing in Jiangcheng, I could be constrained everywhere, how could the prince who was known as 'peerless wisdom' not have some extraordinary means? And Chu Hong also once said that the strong man was also looking for someone, according to the direction he was looking for, it must be Qiu Jue." But what is the connection between Qiu Jue and the strong status, no one knows at all, maybe Qiu Jue is planning to kill the strong status. ”

Regarding Jiang Ming's joke, Lin Han just ignored it, any force that has not reached the status wants to confront the strong with the status, it is basically the result of hitting the stone with an egg, Jiang Ming is just a joke, and he only treats it as a joke. Lin Han said: "That person with a strong status may not have left Xia Dye City yet, and the danger still exists. ”

Jiang Ming stood on the weapon shelf, poured himself half a cup of tea, and his voice suddenly became very serious, and said, "Why don't you go with me, but I'm not sure, and I have a feeling that Qiu Jue is far more terrifying than those two powerful people." ”

Lin Han said: "In the past two days, the military affairs in the military camp have been busy, and I am afraid that I can't handle it by relying on Laojin and Luohu alone, so I can't leave." ”

Jiang Ming said with a smile: "Then forget it, I asked Chu Hong to accompany me, his injuries have also healed a little, and he can take care of him a little when he goes." ”

Lin Han paused slightly, and said: "Be careful in everything, run if you can't fight, there is no need to fight with people who are not enemies to win or lose, although Qiu Jue has a great plan, but it has nothing to do with us, we just want to hold the three-point territory of Wohua Mountain, and there is no big conflict with him in terms of interests." ”

Jiang Ming said: "Okay, then you go, I also have to rest early, otherwise if I really encounter a situation where I have to fight tomorrow, it will be bad if I have no strength." ”

Lin Han nodded and withdrew from the tent.

Lin Han noticed the worry between Jiang Ming's eyebrows, what he was going to face was a person who was going to be in charge of the mountains and rivers, whether it was the pattern or the hard ability, he couldn't compare to the autumn, but this time he didn't want to go with him.

Will she come?

Lin Han quietly returned to the camp, but his heart was not at peace.

Jiang Ming then went to see Mu Ya, he hadn't chatted with him for many days, Mu Ya drank two glasses of wine, but Jiang Ming suddenly seemed very restrained.

Jiang Ming said: "Mu Ya, do you think I should take Yi Wei over?"

Mu Ya took a sip of wine and said, "What, think about it?"

Jiang Ming said: "I promised her that she would not leave, but because of the war in Wohua Mountain, I couldn't watch Lin Han and them fight the enemy on the battlefield alone, I believe that this is a war that I have to participate in, and I must charge for the sake of my brothers." It's just that I've always felt that this war is more difficult than I imagined, and since the last time I was nearly assassinated by the mysterious man in black, I've been more sure of this prediction, so I don't dare to let her go to the danger. Although it is lonely in the Wohua Mountain, at least it is safe. ”

Mu Ya took another sip of wine and said, "Who knows if your induction will happen, if it's just the current situation, I can still handle it, and it is indeed a wise choice to let Miss Shen stay by your side." It's just that I'm also selfish, and my wife is also in Wohua Mountain, so on the surface, it seems that staying in Wohua Mountain is a lot more convenient for me

, but I really can't figure out Miss Shen's thoughts. ”

"Do you have something on your mind?" Jiang Ming stared at Mu Ya's hesitant eyes, looked at it for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "I still have time to take care of your business, I am really drunk and blind my eyes, you better not talk to me." Then tomorrow I will meet in autumn, do you have any other suggestions? ”

Mu Ya took another sip of wine, threw the wine jar to the ground, and said, "I don't know, where do I have so much resourcefulness? If you ask about good luck and evil, you have to find a gossip Taoist priest, and if you ask about Xingzhi, you have to find Mr. Feng Shui." I can't give you an answer, and in the end, you still have to do it yourself. ”

Jiang Ming felt the strangeness in Mu Ya's mood, and groaned for a long time, "What's wrong with you?"

Mu Ya said: "Three sips of wine, there will be no return date, this should be a curse." He stood up, walked out with an empty wine jar, turned his back to Jiang Ming and said, "I could have found a place to live in the world, but I could only live in one city. And you, Jiang Ming, are the ones who are going to travel all over the three walls and nine fields, but I really want to know, can you let go of the rivers and lakes and the beauties in your heart?"

Mu Ya walked out, Jiang Ming was left alone in the tent, he fell to the ground with his head up, he didn't listen to a word of what Mu Ya said, so he began to think about all kinds of experiences with Shen Yi, and even recalled the road from Huangshi, like a scene in a painting, strange and familiar. At some point, he closed his eyes.

In the evening, when the flag died down, Jiang Ming looked for Chu Hong and described the arrangements for July 7, Chu Hong didn't say anything, only nodded and expressed his decision. Even if they were going to Xiazhi City, even if the powerful person who had detained him might still be in that place, it was worth it to go this way in order to accompany Jiang Ming.

The only thing that worried Chu Hong was the Huanziyu lying on the couch, and while the military camps were being prepared, he took the bone broth he personally cooked from the cooker and slowly walked into the camp of Huanziyu.

"Who?"

Huanziyu threw out a tea cup and smashed it in front of the tent door, Chu Hong panicked to dodge, almost spilled the bone broth, but stabilized his body, and said: "I know that this military camp is heavily guarded, and it is impossible for anyone else to come in, do you need to be so vigilant?"

From behind the inner curtain came the voice of the ring fish: "Look at your thief's eyebrows, it's almost time to rest, but you want to break into my residence, and you don't have any good intentions when you see it." ”

Chu Hong shouted that he was wronged, and said with a wry smile: "I also went to the cooking room to stew a bowl of bone broth for you, but I ended up like this, why don't I have a good retribution for my good deeds?"

Huanziyu half sat up and said: "Come in, if you want to get a good retribution, you also have to be a gentleman, and you have to be a scoundrel all the time, I don't think you can do it even if you conceive your image better." ”

Chu Hong lifted the inner curtain, but saw that Huanziyu was only wearing a pure white underwear, so he immediately turned his head and explained, "It's none of my business this time, you let me in." ”

Huanziyu was amused by Chu Hong's action, and said, "Help me take the short shirt next to the couch, and I'll put it on and talk to you again." ”

Chu Hong tried not to glance at Huanziyu, hurriedly carried her shirt and handed it over, and when he heard Huanziyu say okay, he turned around and said, "Are you teasing me?"

"Don't be so pretentious, because it's you, I'm more casual. As soon as he said this, Huanziyu felt that his words were rude, so he said: "Anyway, just don't think about it, men don't have a good thing, and I don't want you to become a hate." ”

Chu Hong smiled slightly, didn't continue to dwell on this topic, sat on the edge of the couch, slowly brought the bone broth over, and said, "How about it?" The battle does not stop during the day, it is estimated that you have no way to rest, and no one can take care of what you eat, so hurry up and drink some bone broth to warm up your body at this time." ”

Huanziyu took it, picked up the spoon and took a few sips, and said, "The military camp will be quiet now, don't you have to deal with military affairs?"

Chu Hong said: "I'll leave it to my lieutenant general to deal with, after all, I'm not very good at doing these things, and I'm injured, so it's not suitable for wandering around the barracks at night." ”

Huanziyu looked at Chu Hong's arm, his eyes were stunned, and said, "You participated in the battle again today and drew a bow?" There is blood oozing out of your arms. ”

Chu Hong smiled and said: "Those Qin soldiers are really hateful, besieging our barracks and not entering, so they sent people to provoke, several deputy generals couldn't help but kill them, so I pulled my bow and shot the provocateur, which can be regarded as doing something for the barracks." ”

Huanziyu said: "My injuries are better, but your injuries are getting worse again, I have some bandages and wound medicine left by doctors here, if you can trust me, I will help you change the dressing and bandage it." ”

Chu Hong hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Then it's troublesome, being able to change the medicine for me with a beauty like you can be regarded as a joy in life." ”

Huanziyu slapped Chu Hong on the back and said, "If you want me to help you talk less, if I don't get used to your scoundrel tone, maybe I will strangle you to death while changing the dressing, so that you don't have any good words in your mouth." ”

Chu Hong said: "I'm a very casual person, what to say, if the girl doesn't like it, I won't say it." Still, in front of you, I'd love to say that for a long time. ”

Huanziyu blushed slightly, and scolded lightly: "Take off your clothes yourself, I just helped you with medicine and bandage, but I didn't have the leisure to serve you with wide clothes and tea." ”

It's just that the red cheeks of the ring fish exposed a little something, and Chu Hong saw it in his eyes, enjoying a rare physical and mental leisure.
