A large shadow in the distant mountains moved up and down, and Niu Gao couldn't tell whether it was because of dizziness or the moving objects were rising and falling, so he had to send a sentry to check it.

In order to prevent the sentry from revealing his identity, Niu Gao brought a "dizziness" telescope to the sentry.

More than an hour later, Niu Gao received a report from the "dizzy" sentry that a large number of officers and soldiers were ambushed on the mountain, startling a large number of flying birds, presumably preparing to attack the Tianci army.

The strategy of encircling and sending reinforcements has been used too many times throughout the ages, and the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty was ambushed in advance on the only way for the Tianci Army, which shows that Tan Zhi has not only heard clearly about the relationship between Tian Shiyi and Lou Minzhong, but also the goal this time is the Tianci Army, not the Manichaean rebels.

Maybe in Tan Zhi's eyes, the Tianci Army is also a thief!

Tian Shiyi had no choice at this time, either to start a war with the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, or to sit back and watch Lou Minzhong and Liu's loss of life in Shezhou. At this time, Tian Shiyi was annoyed, I don't know why Tan Zhi was a fool who wanted to target him, didn't he know that it was Manichaean rebellion?

Since the official army of the Great Song Dynasty has come, it must be fought. If you want the officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty to give up the Tianci Army and go to fight Fangla, then you have to let them know that the Tianci Army is not easy to mess with and cannot be provoked. Blindly retreating will only make people gain an inch, and it is the same principle when it is applied to the two armies.

Niu Gao received the military order from the eleventh brother, and immediately ordered the sentry to shrink, so that the Western Army did not know that it had been discovered by the Tianci Army. At the same time, Lao Niu controlled the speed of the march, and when the Tianci army was seven miles away from the ambush of the Western Army, it was just evening. The Tianci army set up camp in an orderly manner, buried pots and cooked food, and did not even send out a sentry on the surface. Starting.. m..

The Western army ambushed in the mountains and forests was helpless when they saw the Tianci army close at hand, so they had to continue to squat in the forest to feed mosquitoes and eat dry cakes, and even most of the Western soldiers were starving. Because it is the norm for the Great Song Dynasty generals to withhold military rations and salaries, they will never be soft because they are the Western Army, nor will they be merciful because of the war.

Tian Shiyi has been named Dingtao Zhi County by Emperor Zhao Ji, Wu Jue, who led the troops to ambush here, did not know, and no one in the entire Western Army knew that the emperor had ordered Tian Shiyi to lead his headquarters to the south to quell the Manichaean rebellion. Tan Zhi knew about it, but Tong Guan had an order first, and Tan Zhi obediently chose to forget about it. In the eyes of Wu Jue and other Western soldiers, the Tianci Army in front of them is completely a rebel army, and taking the first rank will have military merits.

In a blink of an eye, on the second day, the smoke curled in the Tianci military camp, and the soldiers were silent after breakfast, that is, they did not pull out the camp or go to the village, and put on a plan to live here for a long time.

At noon, Wu Jue finally couldn't stand it anymore, although the Western Army was good at hard fighting, but it had been ambushed in the mountains and forests since yesterday, and the people who were beaten with iron without food or water were about to collapse. What's more, the Western Army is only the army of the Great Song Dynasty, the discipline is very poor, and many soldiers are quite resentful, if they don't think of a way, there will definitely be chaos.

I wanted to order the soldiers to quietly withdraw from the mountains and forests and gather from the north side of the mountains and forests to rest, but the Tianci army came out of the camp at this time.

More than 10,000 Tianci soldiers lined up outside the camp, divided into two formations, left and right, and then neither advanced nor returned to the camp, just like wooden men standing there motionless. Wu Jue watched for a long time, his mind was full of fog, and he didn't know what the enemy was doing there like a wooden stake.

After half an hour, the Western soldiers and soldiers were in a commotion again, but Wu Jue was in a dilemma. At this time, if the Western Army retreats, the Tianci Army will inevitably chase and kill, and it will be a great defeat without suspense. If you lead the troops to kill the generals, the tired soldiers who have been lying in the woods for nearly a day and a night to fight with people are equally pitifully low.

Seeing that it was about to be impossible to restrain the soldiers, the Tianci army, which was divided into two formations, finally moved.

I saw the Iron Bird Army flag flying, and the strange horn sound in the Tianci military camp sounded from time to time, and the Tianci Army, which was divided into two formations, actually shouted at the same time, and then fought with each other.

Wu Jue climbed onto a big tree and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and finally saw that the Tianci Army was actually practicing.

At this time, the Western Army was already very chaotic, and many soldiers stood up from the mountains and forests, looking at the Tianci Army that was holding actual combat exercises in a daze, not knowing what this "rebel army" that seemed to be more neatly equipped than the Western Army was doing.

At this time, trying to cover up his deeds is tantamount to covering his ears and stealing the bell, Wu Jue simply stopped hiding, and transferred a thousand western troops out of the mountain to prepare to block the Tianci army, and the rest of the soldiers continued to retreat north under the leadership of the general.

At this moment, the horn of the Heavenly Army slammed into a beating, and then became distant, as if with the sound of gold and iron killing.

The 10,000 Tianci Army immediately stopped the actual combat exercises, and rushed towards the Western Army without any hesitation.

Wu Jue ordered all the Western Army to prepare for battle, and his eyes were full of shock.

The 10,000 Tianci army had already been beaten into a mess, but after the strange sound of the horn, it was only a dozen breaths before it was divided into large groups and squads. Less than ten breaths later, the 10,000-strong army has become a strict military formation, what kind of strict discipline and terrible training is required to do this?

The Western Army was indeed the only army in the entire Great Song Dynasty that maintained its combat effectiveness, and the soldiers who had already retreated to the north immediately stopped the pace of going north under the order of Wu Jue, and began to assemble and line up under the orders of generals at all levels. Although the speed and efficiency are far inferior to the Heavenly Army, the ability to immediately stop the battle in retreat is indeed enough to be proud of all the forbidden armies in Bianliang City.

Under Wu Jue's orders, the teams of the Western Army continued to find their positions and prepared to meet the Tianci Army. Wu Jue carried a steel knife on his waist and a spear in his hand, loudly encouraging morale. The anger that had been held back for nearly a day and night also forced out the most ruthless side of the chest of the Western sergeant.

Wu Jue was secretly lucky in his heart, although the soldiers of the Western Army were tired at this time, their morale was high, and it was suitable for a desperate battle.
