Just after noon, the scouts reported the appearance of hundreds of soldiers in front of them, enveloping the people towards their formation. Zhang Xiaowu had no intention of preventing the people from fleeing south, but the army that appeared out of thin air made Zhang Xiaowu have to be cautious. Is it the army desertion, or the alien dog Yi disguised himself and mixed in with the people, maybe they Qiao Zhuang entered the Two Wolves Pass for the Han army and tried to conquer the Two Wolves Pass.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaowu immediately shouted that the Yanling array was ready to outflank, and the three hundred cavalry immediately lined up in a "human" formation, with the two wings convex, Xiao Kai and Zu Gongmao respectively, and Zhang Xiaowu personally sat in the center. The sergeants raised their spears and spears in their right hands and held their swords upside down in their left hands, and shouted in unison: "Holy Han! Years! ”

Then, the cavalry on both wings quickened their pace, the formation gradually opened, and the cavalry soldiers of the Dead Battalion shouted again: "Holy Han! Years! ”

The people and the routs who came in front of them squatted on the ground in fright when they heard the roar, and some even knelt on the ground, threw down their swords and raised their hands in surrender, and some soldiers stood up and shouted: "My own people, my own people, my own people!" ”

"We are from the first regiment."

"Brother, they're all your own people."

"Don't do it, I'm from Hunzhou, do you have a fellow countryman from Hunzhou?"

"I'm from Yongzhou."

"Our state."

When the people saw the cavalry in front of them appear, they hurriedly crowded together in fright, trembling and kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Zhang Xiaowu looked carefully when he heard the voice, raised his hand and ordered the dead soldier battalion to stop and wait for the battle, and the soldiers were ordered to strangle the war horse and stop advancing.

Wang Yijin stepped forward immediately, saw a man in the armor of a lieutenant, and saw that he was an officer, so he took him to the camp of dead soldiers.

Zhang Xiaowu sat on the black tiger, grabbed the reins of the horse and looked down, the officer in front of him was disheveled, but from the armor, he was actually a captain. The wound on his back was festering and had not healed, and he looked at Zhang Xiaowu panting, and it took a long time to calm down, and he said dejectedly: "You are a school leader, there are not many colonels in the army, what can you teach?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked, "Who are you?" Why here? ”

The man said: "Captain of the third formation of the second regiment formation, Pei Xiang." ”

It turned out to be the people of the second regiment, but the second regiment was far away in the camp of Yashan, and the army guarding the prince actually ran to the two wolf passes? Zhang Xiaowuan endured the shock in his heart and asked carefully: "Since Captain Pei is a sergeant of the Second Regiment, why is he leading the troops here?" Could it be that he is a deserter? ”

Pei Xiang looked at the group of soldiers behind him who were in tattered clothes and had no morale, and said in despair: "These people ...... It's not my soldiers, my soldiers are dead. ”

"All dead?"

Pei Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, wanted to cry without tears: "We are defeated, defeated!" The camp of Raven Mountain is broken! The Blue Dragon Army is finished......"

"The Blue Dragon Army is finished?!"

The eyes of the soldiers widened, perhaps the word of mouth of the people can be understood as rumors, after all, most people have a herd mentality, and they don't even distinguish between right and wrong. But the group of routs in front of them are really the Shenghan soldiers, and even they have become this rout, it seems that the defeat of Yashan is inseparable.

Zhang Xiaowu held back the uneasiness in his heart and continued to ask: "You said you are from Yashan? Did you come back? It takes half a month to travel from Raven Mountain to Mucheng, could it be that Raven Mountain was broken half a month ago? Why don't we hear the news of defeat? ”

Pei Xiang said helplessly: "This school leader, the camp of Yashan was broken too quickly, I only saw more than 100,000 dogs rushing into the camp of Yashan, so I had to escape with the others, but I don't know how to defeat it." Later, I met another fleeing marching secretary who said that it was probably because the Inuyi sent a large army around the back of Yashan before the Jialan River dried up, and hundreds of thousands of Inuyi raided Yashan, and the Yashan camp was immediately broken. Our second regiment was stationed on the eastern side of Yashan, and it was able to organize a resistance when it was attacked by the enemy, but the moon was dark and the wind was high, and everyone was disrupted when they were fighting. The others and I penetrated Inui and found that we were behind Inui. Because someone took the opportunity to escape, I was also caught in it. Later, Inuyi sent an army to chase and kill, and we fled all the way to resist until we reached Mucheng. Later, when we saw that some people had gathered the rout in the wooden city, and saw the people fleeing, we fled with the people. ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked: "How many dogs are chasing and killing you?" ”

That Pei Xiang's old face turned red and said, "I can't see clearly." ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked again: "Is it cavalry or infantry?" ”

Pei Xiang said: "Yes." ”

Zhang Xiaowu sneered, knowing that this person was so frightened that he didn't even have the courage to look back, so he waved his hand and let them go.

The Yanling array of the dead soldiers' battalion spread out a gap, and the defeated soldiers and civilians walked through this opening, not even having the courage to raise their heads and look at their comrades' robes. The generals of the Dead Battalion are not good people, so naturally there are sharp-toothed people who take the opportunity to mock them. The defeated soldiers did not have the courage to turn around and resist, so they could only bow their heads and silently endure the insults, perhaps scolding these people in their hearts for dying early, but no one turned back.

"These people are no longer soldiers." Zhang Xiaowu sighed and said.

"My lord, they're all gone." Xiao Kaidao.

Zhang Xiaowu smiled helplessly, and suddenly said: "Put up the banner of the dead soldiers' battalion, they have lost the glory of the soldiers, we can't." ”

"Whoa."

The military flag of the dead soldier battalion is a big flag with a red background embroidered with the word "yellow" in yellow, after all, the commander of the dead soldier battalion is Huang Sheng, not Zhang Xiaowu, although the soldiers feel that this military flag is a little awkward. Guan Cheng was a little unhappy, and muttered: "Our Dead Soldier Camp only knows that there is Lord Zhang, who knows that there is Lord Huang, what is this Lord Huang?" The flag was changed early, so as not to lose morale when I saw Lord Huang's words. Everyone laughed but there was nothing they could do, after all, the military regulations of the Holy Han were located, and the battalion flags were all yellow and red flags, and the words were the surnames of the battalion commanders, so everyone was used to it.

As we moved on, the temperature gradually rose, and the soldiers did not care about desertion for the time being.

In the hearts of everyone, the saint Han has always been invincible, but also proud, the myth of the invincible saint Han is deeply ingrained in everyone's heart, a little rout can not shake everyone. An hour later, the Dead Battalion suddenly saw a black crowd appear on the horizon in the distance, and everyone widened their eyes as the black in the distance grew bigger and bigger, like a black flood surging towards them.

"Yes—the Inuyi Army?" Xiao Kai was surprised.

Zu Gongmao pulled out his waist knife and said, "My lord, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Wait! Chen Guanxi, with five scouts, stepped forward to investigate, and if it was a dog, he would return immediately. ”

"Whoa."

Chen Guanxi rushed forward with the scouts, and the camp of the dead continued to wait, and soon after, a scout returned to report that the crowd ahead was not Inuyi, but the Sixth Regiment with a total of tens of thousands of people from Mucheng coming south.

Closer, Zhang Xiaowu and the others really saw clearly, thousands of people with their families and soldiers fleeing in a panic, and in the distance, the army flag that could be seen closer was indeed the "Cheng" character banner of the Sixth Regiment floating high.
