A large number of refugees from the northern mountains and forests were wrapped in pedestrians and mixed into the city of the four seas, although the Daming Grottoes had controlled his troops to block the city gate, but in order not to arouse the anger of the people, it was decided to put these people into the city, only after the refugees entered the city, the poisonous dragon received the news of the northern mountains and forests, and a new panic rose in the heart of the poisonous dragon.

Daming Cave is not better than Wohua Mountain, many veterans of Daming Cave have experienced the disaster of the real epidemic, wandering on the edge of death all day long, worried about whether they will be infected with the epidemic tomorrow, fortunately that disaster did not kill all the people in Daming Cave, under the command of the master of Daming Cave, the use of harsh measures to bury countless sick people alive, after the cremation of the dead infected people, the epidemic disease was slowly controlled.

It was at this time that the power of Daming Cave was greatly reduced, the original strength was almost reduced by more than half, and a large number of generals with outstanding martial arts strength also died in the spread of the epidemic, and Wohua Mountain took the opportunity to develop. If it weren't for the catastrophe of the epidemic, I'm afraid that Wohua Mountain would not be able to become the first mountain bandit organization in the Qin Dynasty for another five years.

Having experienced the disaster firsthand, the poisonous dragon naturally knew what the epidemic meant, and the Daming Caves were no less afraid of the epidemic than those villagers in the northern mountains and forests. At the beginning, in the battle of the northern mountains and forests, the Qin army besieged and killed Meng Lang and others in Yunying Mountain, and the poisonous dragon son also considered these factors, so he did not send troops to disturb the situation, but only waited for an opportunity to ambush and attack the forces of Wohua Mountain in the area of Duanhuabi, but Jiao Pingwen was discovered by Jiang Ming, who was suddenly killed, and the ambush plan was also ruined.

Even if he was as witty and cunning as a poisonous dragon, he still had a little fear of the epidemic, and when he heard that the epidemic in the northern mountains and forests broke out again, he unnaturally felt a chill in his back, of course, he didn't show it when he faced his generals, even if he learned that a large number of refugees had broken into the city, he tried his best to hide his panic under a calm face. If the master of the Daming Cave is not there, he is the supreme commander.

"Lord Poison Dragon, now the news of the northern mountains and forests is only known to a few of our generals, with this group of refugees entering the city, the city of the four seas has been covered with epidemic transmission routes, if you don't want to deal with it, this is likely to be swallowed by that nightmarish epidemic. ”

Speaking is Guan Yi, one of the three eight-rank martial arts masters brought by the poisonous dragon son to the Four Seas City, in addition to him, there are also two eight-stage generals Yue Dian and Xiangchi, who have arranged more than seven thousand people in the Four Seas City on the bright side, if there is any problem in the current Four Seas City, these soldiers will be in a great crisis.

The poisonous dragon was silent, his hands were turned away, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, he pondered the discovery of these things, although he was frightened, but he couldn't make any movement, he was now imprisoned in the four seas city, if he couldn't choose to persevere, then there was no way out.

Yue Dian looked at the poisonous dragon with a cold face, although he felt the inner struggle of this character second only to the cave master, but he didn't know what made the poisonous dragon lord who had always acted decisively entangled, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly said: "Lord Poison Longzi, Qiu Wenmink hasn't come back yet, and I don't know what he did, and now the brothers don't quite understand why they want to capture this Four Seas City, if they continue like this, I'm afraid that the people of these Four Seas City will probably rebel against us." ”

Poisonous Dragon Zi Zhengse said: "The people of Sihai City, if you want to make trouble, then kill some people to deter you, although we will not be stationed in Sihai City for too long, but these people will definitely not be allowed to affect our army." As for Qiu Wenmink, I gave him other arrangements, so you don't have to worry. All we have to face is the plague and the army of Panglu, and you are ready to meet the enemy. ”

Guan Yi said: "My lord, since my lord has already given an order, we will naturally follow, but the refugees in the northern mountains and forests mixed with the people are afraid that they are carrying the source of the epidemic, if they are left alone, I am afraid that it will harm us." ”

Poison Longzi said: "Then let's do it, arrest those refugees, kill them if they can, and they would rather kill them by mistake than let them go, but you must be careful, you can't let our army get contaminated with that thing, understand?"

"The last general obeys!"

After the three generals left, the poisonous dragon sighed heavily, his brows tightened, he had never been so worried, since he met Mu Ya, the military staff officer in Wohua Mountain, it seemed that everything had changed.

"Mu Ya, although I know very well that cooperating with Wohua Mountain is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, but you promised me conditions that I can't refuse, Cave Master, I can only act like this now, even if I will be defeated in the mountains and forests in the near future, I have no other choice, as long as I can wake you up, everything is worth it. ”

"That Nine-Rank Grandmaster should be hiding in Jiaozhi City, I don't know his identity, I don't know his intentions, even if he chooses to cooperate with us, but I always feel that that person is very dangerous, and the oppression he brings to me is second only to Mu Ya. Although Mu Ya persuaded me, most of the means were my actions in Daming Grottoes, which had no impact on Wohua Mountain, and I was gambling with the strength of Daming Grottoes. ”

"Mu Ya is a hero, he can intervene in the dynasty war as a strategist, not only can he advance and retreat freely, but I also conclude that he has other means, Pang Lu will definitely return in vain at this time, but I have no confidence, facing Mu Ya is like facing the unstoppable epidemic of the storm, even if I am already half a step and nine stages, but I don't have the courage to kill him. After this matter is over, it will be the time of the decisive battle between Wohua Mountain and Daming Cave!"

In the city of the four seas, an old man in ragged clothes with mud stains on his face begging along the street, he only came to the city of the four seas in the early hours of this morning, running hundreds of miles of mountains and forests, starving along the way, and even facing the risk of contracting the epidemic at all times, he finally came to a city that could accommodate him, although it is rumored that this city has been occupied by the mountain bandit Daming Grotto, but these did not have much impact on him. The Qin Dynasty has been in chaos for many years, and the villages in the northern mountains and forests are not under the jurisdiction of anyone, so it is better to say that he is just an ordinary person without a camp than to classify himself as a subject of the Qin Dynasty.

Thinking of this, a delicate smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled face, he had not smiled so reassuringly in these days of escape. He has no family, or his family has fled with the other refugees a few days ago, and he doesn't know if he's dead or alive, and he can't care about it now. It is only after experiencing true death that one becomes selfishly valuing one's life.

He stretched out his hand, and a scholar, who seemed to be neatly dressed, stopped, glanced at the old man with some hesitation, but took another step, and he passed the old beggar, but just as he thought he had let go of his compassion, the old man began to speak.

"Have mercy on me, give me something to eat!"

The scholar turned his head again, his face was a little hesitant, but there was a trace of unbearability hidden in his eyebrows, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, but the hand stretched out to his arms was a little stagnant. After hesitating for a few seconds, he drew his free hand and walked forward again, but before he had taken a few steps, he turned back again, took out a chip of money and stuffed it into the old man's hand, and without saying anything, he turned around and left as if he had fled.

"Thank you...... Thank you......" The old man felt the beauty of the world from the kindness of this fundraising, and he may only be able to buy half a bowl of rice and only a few steamed buns, but for him, this is already a treasure that can save his life. He looked at the scholar's departure from afar, and he was a little lucky, maybe the scholar was not rich, but he was willing to give this money, there is not a lot of kindness in this world.

Just when the old man wanted to use this money to buy steamed buns, he heard the sound of guns and halberds, a team of armor soldiers poured out of the city, the old man immediately shrank in a group, and before he could escape, those armor soldiers had already stared at him, one of the armor soldiers shouted, and then rushed to kill with a halberd, the old man crawled back in horror, but after all, he did not escape the edge of the halberd, the halberd blade stabbed into the old man's back, and the old figure fell in a pool of blood.

"Although this person is a refugee, but I Daming Grottoes think that this is a conspiracy of Wohua Mountain, they will definitely hide the secret spies among these refugees, I hope that the people of Sihai City will not be alarmed, we only target these refugees, and will not embarrass the people of Sihai City, and I hope that you can keep to yourself, do not follow these people to make trouble, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

After the first soldier killed, the people were all frightened, and the captain loudly proclaimed the general's orders for the sake of the people, and as soon as these words came out, the people on the street dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, although they were guarding against the secret spies of Wohua Mountain, but rashly killed an old man who had no power to fight back, where is this what a benevolent and righteous army can do? The impression of the people of Sihai City on the Daming Grottoes was once again covered with dust, and the assassination of the city lord was the first time, and this was the second time.

On this day, the soldiers of Daming Cave hunted and killed hundreds of refugees, and even a few beggars from Sihai City were killed by mistake on the spot, and the people were all embarrassed.

For the chaos of Sihai City, Jiaozhi City seems to be facing a general situation, but because Pang Lu ordered in time, after the entire city was closed, it was almost impossible for refugees to enter Jiaozhi City, which also put an end to the crisis of Jiaozhi City facing a flood of epidemics. A day later, two armies of soldiers and horses set out from Jiaozhi City at the same time, one rushing east towards Sihai City, and the other south deep into the Jiaozhi Mountains, and the war was about to break out. 186 Chinese Network

Wohua Mountain Barracks.

"Tell the commander, the sentry has detected that Pang Lu is leading about 40,000 horses to attack, and I am afraid that it will not take three hours to come to the mountains and forests. ”

Waved off the sentry, the people of Liangjin fell into deep worry again, the epidemic had just surfaced, Pang Lu led the armor to kill again, which means that this will be the strongest war sent by Pang Lu to the Wohua Mountain military camp, the Wohua Mountain military camp has experienced two battles not long ago, the loss of troops is serious, and there is a threat of epidemic in the back, this battle, they will have no chance of winning.

Liang Jin shouted: "Count our soldiers and horses, and fight to the death with the Qin army!"

"Wait!" Luo Hu waved his hand to stop, looking at Liang Jin's sad and angry look, knowing that he had no choice, instead of passively attacking, it was better to take the initiative to attack, maybe he could save more troops, but this is not what Luo Hu wanted, he said: "You calm down first, I have already checked the number of combatants in the army, excluding the firehead army and the garrison soldiers of about 1,000 people, our combat strength is about 9,000 people, after many previous wars, because there is no soldier to replenish, this is our final number." There is no natural danger to follow, no military formation is reliable, and the heavy cavalry has no role in the mountains and forests, if we fight with the Panglu army at this time, we will inevitably be defeated. ”

Liang Jin sighed heavily and said: "At the beginning, the mountain lord just asked me to guard here for two months, but now the two months have arrived, we did not achieve the expected goal and repelled the Qin soldiers, but we did not live up to the mountain lord's entrustment, if we retreat at this time, the mountain lord will not have any reason to blame us." ”

"But, but ......" Chu Hong's words stopped in his mouth, he rarely expressed his opinions, but today it is very important to know, a little carelessness, the entire Wohua Mountain military camp will be destroyed, he said loudly: " Lao Jin, we have not reached that point, we must win this battle, if we can't expel the Qin soldiers, even if the mountain lord will not blame, but let a Qin army go deep into the hinterland of Wohua Mountain, you understand what this means, our goal from the beginning has never been to attack the city and plunder the land, we are just to guard the hundreds of thousands of people in Wohua Mountain. ”

Lin Han said: "The eldest son is right, the withdrawal of the army at this time, or the defeat of the war, means that we have completely given up the hundreds of thousands of people in Wohua Mountain, they live in the last pure land of the Qin Dynasty, we once swore to guard, this reason is not because the mountain lord gave us the right to lead the army, but we are willing to believe in those people." I support the eldest son, this battle cannot be treated casually, we cannot avoid the war, we cannot lose the war, we can only win, until the Qin army is scared, so that they admit the existence of Wohua Mountain, and dare not start another war. ”

Liang Jin's mood was a little low, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not that I have lost my will to fight and confidence, but the means we can use have indeed been exhausted, with 9,000 men and horses to resist 40,000 soldiers and horses on Pang Lu, even if the soldiers of Wohua Mountain are well-trained, it is impossible to stop it." In the past, we had heavy cavalry, but we were in the mountains and forests, and the heavy cavalry was no different from ordinary armored soldiers, so how easy would it be for us to defeat?"

Meng Lang said coldly: "It seems that even God is helping the Qin soldiers, the hot climate and the increasingly serious fever urge us to move the camp, and then we fell into Pang Lu's scheme, the barbarians attacked, Pang Lu took the opportunity to explore our military aircraft in three ways, and consumed the strength of our army, and at this time we were ready for a decisive battle." For us, this is a decisive battle, but for Pang Lu, defeating us and opening the Jiaozhi Mountains is just the beginning, if we don't stop it, the Qin army will drive straight to invade and kill Wohua Mountain, these situations are not what we want. ”

Just when everyone sighed and couldn't make a decision, Jiang Ming on the side got up and stood with Liang Jin, everyone saw Jiang Ming's behavior, and they all turned their eyes to him, only to hear him say: "In this situation, why don't you ask Mu Ya? He is your military staff officer." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Long.

Everyone was relieved.

Lin suddenly laughed and said: "Your words have woken us up, we were just afraid of troublesome Mr. Mu Ya, but now there is no other way out of this situation, if we still have to be silent, we are afraid that we will be in the hands of the enemy." I would also like to ask Mr. Ji Muya. ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

When they came to Mu Ya's tent, they found that Mu Ya had just walked out of the tent, wearing a plain robe full of patches, although his posture was still dignified and magnificent, but there seemed to be a touch of dust in his eyebrows.

Lin Han was puzzled, and stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Mu Ya, where have you been?"

Mu Ya shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't mention it, I went out for a walk outside last night, and I just came back at this time, and I ate a stomach full of dirt, and I was going to wash my body." ”

Liang Jin saw that Mu Ya intended to hide it, so he didn't want to ask too much, so he changed the topic and asked: "Mr. Mu Ya, a few of us have come to inquire about important matters, about the matter of Pang Lu sending 40,000 troops and personally commanding the attack of the army, we have nothing to do, isn't Mr. Mu Ya any good strategy to resist the Qin army?"

Mu Ya muttered: "Now the Qin army is 40,000 people, and they are all elite soldiers, and those who stay in Jiaozhi City are selected from the army, our army has less than 10,000 capable fighters, and the heavy cavalry can no longer fight in the mountains and forests. It was designed to be before the war, and since the war began, in the face of strong strength, any intrigue and trickery were useless. Although I know a few formations, we are now in the mountains and forests, and we have never been trained, and it is impossible for a soldier to learn it in a short time, so you can only choose to meet it head-on. ”

After hearing this, everyone's hearts sank, listening to Mu Ya's tone, if they could have come to ask Mu Ya's strategy earlier, maybe they still had a certain chance of winning, but now they can only face the enemy head-on like this, which is not only the decision-making mistakes of several of their commanders, but also caused by the contradictions in their army. Mu Ya has no way to recover, which means that they can only choose to fight to the death.

Just when everyone was annoyed, Jiang Ming looked at Mu Ya blankly, and said, "You said so much, but you still didn't say what you did at night, I guess what you did had something to do with this war, right?"

Mu Yawan smiled, and couldn't help but put away his serious expression in the face of everyone, and said: "Or do you believe me, if I say that I have helped you solve the trouble, do you believe it or not?"

Luo Hu had doubts in his ears, and said, "Mr. Mu Ya, you mean that you have already leveled the Qin army?"

Mu Ya smiled: "I don't have the ability to annihilate them in one fell swoop, even if I am a strong person, I just help you pave the way, and the rest, as long as you follow the normal battle." Normal fighting, it's all effort, I can't control the casualties, but I can control the overall situation. ”

"I can say responsibly that you have won this war. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
