Ma Kongming smiled bitterly: "It's really not so easy to march and fight. ”

He suddenly realized that he was just a recruit on the battlefield.

In the rivers and lakes, he is the top figure, with his martial arts, he saved Lu Yuan's life, and it is very easy to occupy a place in the officialdom of Hui'an Mansion, and he is deeply trusted by Lu Yuan.

He originally thought that he had the experience of being the leader of the Yellow River Gang, and that he could also use his martial arts and experience to become an excellent general on the battlefield, but it was not until he saw this note today that he realized how naïve his previous thoughts were.

There are many people in Hui'an Mansion who are better at leading troops than themselves, and they are only qualified to lead an army by relying on the trust of the landing adults.

"General, is something wrong?" Wei Chidan looked at the note in Ma Kongming's hand and asked.

"Nothing." Ma Kongming put the note in his arms and said loudly: "The whole army immediately repairs on the spot and prepares for battle." ”

"General, do you still want to fight?" Qi Zhen smiled bitterly, even he couldn't hold it anymore.

Ma Kongming smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's easy this time." ”

……

Xie Yuchen listened to the cavalry report on the situation along the way, and knew that the enemy army was not numerous, but he had made an ambush in advance, coupled with a very powerful giant crossbow, and only then did he lure his siege troops into the city to besiege them.

He thought to himself that the best way to deal with such a powerful long-range weapon was to flank the front and back, so he decided to wait for the siege to waste more time and attack with another city gate, so that after breaking the city, he could flank the enemy from behind.

At this moment, he suddenly waved his hand: "Stop!" ”

The herald quickly passed his orders to the rear army.

"General, what's wrong?" Vice Admiral Wang asked.

General Xie looked at the towering cliffs on the left and right, and felt a little uneasy in his heart, Hui'an Mansion is mountainous, and it is easiest to form this kind of terrain suitable for ambushes, so he has to be careful.

After a moment of silence, he was about to speak, when a rain of arrows suddenly poured down on the hillside, and General Xie used his long sword to open a few arrows, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn! I was too careless when I fell into the rebels' plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements. ”

"General, since we have been tricked, let's withdraw quickly!" Vice General Wang urged urgently while pushing away the arrow.

Xie Yuchen raised his eyes to look at the hillside, but in addition to the missing arrow, where could he see the enemy generals, he said coldly: "The whole army obeys the order, the rear team changes to the front team, retreats in an orderly manner, do not be confused, and those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Hearing the military order, the herald quickly passed the order, Xie Yuchen faced the rain of arrows, led the troops to retreat, and when he reached the exit of the front, he saw a team of men and horses in a semicircle, blocking the front, which was almost no different from the situation when he ambushed Ma Kongming before.

Xie Yuchen hadn't felt this kind of grievance for a long time, he clenched his fists tightly and said loudly: "Break through!" ”

Due to the favorable terrain occupied by the other party, Xie Yuchen fought very passively in this battle, but fortunately, the enemy's combat strength was not as good as his own, and the number was not too many, so he was finally able to break through.

On the official road, Xie Yuchen's troops were a little embarrassed, and under this battle, seven or eight hundred people were lost, and even Xie Yuchen's face and hair were covered with dust.

"General, what are we going to do next?" Adjutant Wang asked.

"Returning to the state." Xie Yuchen said coldly.

Vice General Wang hesitated again and again, and did not ask what to do with the troops trapped in Wuyuan City, the matter had come to this point, and they were no longer able to rescue them.

When the troops passed through the Nanshan Valley, Xie Yuchen was even more depressed in his heart, it was originally a very easy victory, who knew that the other party suddenly came with such a powerful reinforcement, after he went back, he must investigate who the main general of this army is, and he will take revenge for this arrow in the future.

At this moment, there was another sound of breaking the air in the air, Xie Yuchen was taken aback, could they not be able to fly, and they could even rush here to set up an ambush?

"General, let's withdraw quickly!" Vice General Wang said urgently, as long as he encountered an ambush, his first thought was to withdraw.

"It's useless." Xie Yuchen shook his head and said, "The enemy army must still have heavy troops at the exit, and we don't have the strength to break through again." ”

His only wish at the moment was to see the general who had defeated him before he died, and to see who he was sacred.

Although he had given up in his heart, Xie Yuchen still led his troops to face the rain of arrows and ran to the exit of the canyon, but when he arrived at the exit, he was surprised and delighted that the enemy army did not block it here.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, the ambush just now is the three hundred men and horses we let go before, no wonder I don't think the other party's attack is fierce." ”

"General, let's go." Vice General Wang doesn't care so much, and he is thankful that he can escape.

Xie Yuchen turned his head and glanced at the canyon, and walked away, making up his mind that he would take revenge for today's revenge in the future.

On the slopes of the canyon.

Ma Kongming looked at the other party leaving, his face was dissatisfied, and Wei Chidan smiled: "General, it's good that we can leave more than 200 of their corpses." ”

"When I get back, I think I'm going to practice my bows." Ma Kongming said lightly.

There were several broken bowstrings at his feet, and although he was a high martial artist, he was not good at bowing, not only breaking several bows, but also his head.

He fired more than a dozen arrows in a row, but he didn't hit the enemy's haired general.

"Thanks to General Meng this time, if he hadn't come to his aid in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable." Qi Zhen sighed.

The person who besieged the enemy army in Wuyuan City, ambushed Xie Yuchen, and then asked Ma Kongming to ambush the enemy in Nanshan Gorge was Meng Xiao.

As a guerrilla general, he is responsible for support, since he was appointed to this position, he has analyzed for a long time, and feels that Yu Xun on the East Road and Qin Youyu on the North Road do not have to worry, only the West Route Army and the South Route Army are prone to problems.

So he took the troops to be stationed in the southwest direction, sent many sentry horses to inquire about the military situation, when he learned that Qin Quan had won the battle, he understood Qin Quan's ability, and went to the south, just when the sentry horse came to report, there was an Anhua army near Wuyuan City in the south.

Later, after he learned that Ma Kongming led the army in ambush, he led the army to take over Wuyuan City, and skillfully used strategies to not only defeat the Anhua army, but also save Ma Kongming.

When Ma Kongming returned to Wuyuan City with his army, he saw Luo Tai, who was assigned to Mengxiao's guerrilla army.

"Captain Luo, where is General Meng, I want to thank him in person." Ma Kongming said in a deep voice.

"There are also some troubles on the Kaihua side, General Meng has already rushed over, and he asked me to take 500 brothers to assist General Ma in defending the city."

"Is it okay over there?" Ma Kongming exclaimed.

"I don't know the specific situation, but since General Meng has passed, I think it will be fine." Luo Tai showed great trust in Meng Xiao in his words.

Back in time, the city of civilization.

When Ma Kongming had not yet gone out of the city to meet the Anhua army, in Kaihua City, Jin Yuanwu and his subordinates were already discussing how to resist the Anhua army outside the city.

The Anhua army they faced came faster than Xie Yuchen's army.

"The enemy army has reached fifty miles outside the city, how to resist the enemy, let's talk about it." Jin Yuanwu asked.

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice: "General, the last general thinks that our city has thick walls and very good weapons to defend the city, so we should not be able to hold out, and wait for the enemy to show flaws before attacking with thunder." ”

"I... I also think the city should be defended. Chen Mo swallowed his saliva and said, it was the first time he participated in the war, and he was still a little unsuitable for the role.

Jin Yuanwu looked at several of his commanders and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Han Lin, the commander of the first battalion, said: "I'll listen to the general." ”

"Yes, we are all willing to obey the general's orders." Several other conductors followed.

Jin Yuanwu nodded and said slowly: "Then we can't hold on, and then we will make a calculation." ”

So in this way, Jin Yuanwu's troops chose to stay in the city.

A day later, Jin Yuanwu stood on the city wall, and the enemy troops were not far from the city.

The enemy rode out of the ranks, walked not far from the city wall, and was about to shout, when Jin Yuanwu saw the flaw, raised an arrow in his hand, and shot him to death with an arrow.

The soldiers of the Anhua Army suddenly became angry, and the main general Chen Shu said angrily: "What a group of barbarian soldiers, even shouting before the battle, I don't understand the rules of not letting go of cold arrows, brothers, give it to me, as long as you take Kaihua City, I will allow you to loot for three days." ”

The soldiers' emotions were immediately ignited, and they rushed towards the city.

Jin Yuanwu saw that after he shot one person to death, the enemy army looked angry, and frowned: "What's wrong with them?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and no one could tell.

"General, according to the rules, that person just now shouted before the battle, you shouldn't shoot him."

It was Jiang Yun who answered, but he felt in his heart that Jin Yuanwu was doing the right thing, this is a very old rule, and it can be seen that the enemy's main general is very traditional, in his opinion, the most important thing is to win the battle between the two armies, there is no need to pay too much attention to the rules.
