At the end of the thirteenth day of March in the first year of heaven, thousands of enemy troops with steel swords and spears broke out of the camps, grass, and woods, and surrounded them in all directions, as if the river that had burst the embankment was raging and unstoppable. In the shouts one after another, the enemy's light cavalry had already broken into the Liang army's formation first, and countless Liang soldiers had fallen to the ground in the middle of the sword, and blood was sprayed on this dry Gobi desert.

The enemy's flag fluttered in the wind, and the main general Arandor was under it, and his face could not be seen clearly in the night, and his burly silhouette could only be seen through the torches beside him.

Kong Xiaoxian ordered Dian to be loyal and Chen Mu to lead the troops to charge.

The Liang army, armed with standard weapons, set up a square formation of 100 people, shouting slogans to counter-charge the enemy. Shining blades, cold spears, and sharp arrows rushed out of a bloody path with the square formation, heading straight for the enemy's main general, Arlando.

The arrogance of the enemy cavalry also became cowardly in front of the square formation, and they did not dare to fight head-on, so they began to detour to both sides of the road and flank the square formation from both sides. The spearmen in the square formation responded immediately, keeping their flanks open at all times. But at this time, the second wave of the enemy's attack had come, and the square formation of the Liang army of 100 people was immediately engulfed in the wave of Hu people's swords and axes.

A bloody hand-to-hand combat immediately began, Chen Mu rode on a horse, the long-handled Mo knife in his hand flew up and down, and from time to time he had to dodge the opponent's cold arrows. Zhang Cripple and Zhang Han followed closely around Chen Mu, they were Chen Mu's other two pairs of eyes, they protected Chen Mu, and Chen Mu would come to help them at any time. Three people form a combat group.

Arlandor found out that Chen Mu was brave and ordered the archers to concentrate their shots, but Chen Mu could only jump off the war horse and hide behind the horse, and the war horse was set up as a hedgehog. Losing his horse, Chen Mu blended into the crowd, and the enemy no longer shot cold arrows, for fear of shooting his own people, but at this time, several cavalrymen rushed over with spears in hand.

"Behind!" Cripple Zhang slashed over an enemy and shouted loudly.

As soon as Chen Mu turned around, a horse had already arrived in front of him, Chen Mu cut out the Mo knife in his hand from the bottom to the top, the horse's neck was immediately broken, and the person on the horse overturned to the ground, Chen Mu stepped forward and made up a knife, and the cavalry died without saying a word.

"Behind!" Zhang crippled and shouted again.

"Bow down!" Zhang Han hugged the crossbow and shouted.

Chen Mu squatted down, looked back at the moon, and the knife in his hand also went straight behind his back.

However, he found that the enemy cavalry had been hit by an arrow in the head and rolled off his horse, Chen Mu snatched the war horse and turned over.

Dian Xiaozhong and Chen Mu led a hundred people to resist stubbornly, but the enemy was outnumbered, and it was impossible to hold out for too long, Kong Xiaoxian saw that the enemy army was still surging, and immediately ordered: "According to the original plan, break through to the north and go straight to the Horsehair Valley!" ”

In this state of hand-to-hand combat, the so-called breakthrough is no different from defeat.

When the team began to retreat, it showed a rout, the crowd was crowded, Zhang Cripple was short and his legs were inconvenient, Chen Mu held a knife in his right hand, stretched out his left hand to scoop it up, and picked up Zhang Cripple. Just run with the cripple in their hands. A horse carries two people, and it still runs faster than the average person. Chen Mu turned his head to look at Zhang Han, Zhang Han waved his hand at Chen Mu, signaling that he didn't have to worry about me. Zhang Han relied on his three-grade combat power, even if he was wearing iron armor, he was faster than ordinary soldiers and had good endurance, so Chen Mu didn't have to worry too much.

At the moment of life and death, people can always burst out with amazing strength, even if the enemy army set a trap in advance, but under the leadership of Kong Xiaoxian, Li Tonghai, and Kuang Fusheng, a hole was still opened, and the Liang army gushed out from this opening, and finally when Chen Mu and Dian Xiaozhong also ran through the mouth, Kong Xiaoxian fled with people.

Nearly 500 men came when they came, and less than 200 were left when they escaped from the encirclement.

Most of the people who failed to break out had already fallen to the ground, and all this happened in only two quarters of an hour.

In just two quarters of an hour, how many young lives have been left forever on the Gobi Desert on the border of the motherland.

The Gobi shows white bones, recalling when the dream is, how many years of vicissitudes, and how many people know. There are only the tombstones of the martyrs who do not fall, swearing that they have been here before, hoping that the tombstones will always be cleaned.

The defeated army ran in front, and the Huns behind them were like tigers and wolves, and the enemy army was shocking, and the team of torches quickly approached the valley of horsehair.

At this time, there were seven hundred Liang troops hidden in the valley, and they had already prepared bows, crossbows, arrows, and even rolling logs and stones, as long as the enemy got into the trap, a rain of arrows shot down, and three or five hundred people were not left to lie down, it was considered an ambush failure. After the rain of arrows, Tang Hong led the people to kill, at that time the enemy army was already in chaos, and the only thing left was to kill the enemy, grab prisoners, chase the enemy army, and seize the camp. A big win is just around the corner.

However, when the enemy commander Arandor approached the Valley of Horsehair, he suddenly stopped the team.

Soon after, Arlando returned with his troops.

The enemy army was not fooled.

"Damn!" Tang Hong was angry: "What about him! This Arrando has seen through my plan! ”

In fact, at this time, Chen Mu also felt a fever on his face, because this strategy was originally dedicated to Tang Hong by Chen Mu, but now the plan has failed, and more than 300 people have died, and the price is too great.

However, everything is subject to change.

When the enemy won a small battle, they actually packed up the camp and withdrew as a whole, and it is said that they withdrew to Dunhuang. It wasn't until the next morning that the scouts brought the news to Jiuquan City.

When Tang Hong heard the news, he immediately revised the battle strategy, tore up the original defeat book, and changed it to read: From March 13 to Hai in the first year of Tianci, the 3rd Brigade of the 15th Division of Shence, under the leadership of Tang Hong, attacked the enemy camp.

"Hahaha!"

After writing it, Tang Hong was very satisfied, and originally planned to have a morning meeting to scold people, but now he changed his mind and wanted to praise the soldiers at the morning meeting.

Sure enough, at the meeting, Tang Hong praised the generals by name, which naturally wrapped Chen Mu, saying that Chen Mu fought bravely and was a model for the younger generation.

——

"This time it was a fluke."

After the meeting, Chen Mu returned to his hut and said to the lame man: "If the enemy army had not withdrawn, today's morning meeting would definitely be a different scene. ”

The cripple smiled bitterly and nodded: "People are not as good as heaven." However, the enemy's main general, Arando, is indeed a smart man. This person is not easy to deal with. It is not easy for him to see through our strategy. If it had been a reckless man leading the troops, we would have won a big battle last night. In fact, your strategy is not bad, it is just a matter of meeting a master. ”

Chen Mu nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Han was puzzled: "But why did he lead the troops and run away?" ”

Chen Mu guessed: "I think he may have misjudged the strength of our army." We dared to take the initiative to kill this time, and we also set up an ambush in Horsehair Mountain, he thought that we would have more than a thousand men under him. If there is such a judgment, he is right to take advantage of the victory and withdraw his troops. ”

Zhang lame smiled: "Although Alandor is smart, he is too cautious, a bit like ...... Kind of like a fox. Without the certainty of victory, he will not rush to send troops. ”

Chen Mu glanced at Zhang Cripple: "I have a worry. ”

"Worried about what?"

"I'm afraid he'll come back."
