On the northern slope of Huayin Mountain, Wei Zhang's beard was skewed on the straw mat of the camp, biting on a stiff dough, and his face was full of tyranny.

He had been trapped here for half a month, and after failing to smuggle in water, he had to retreat to the northern slope.

Fortunately, Nangong Xun's army is not good at crossing mountains and mountains, and there is no way to drive him out.

He gathered the defeated army, and the Tongque battalion lost more than a thousand men, and he was wounded in the thigh by Lu Ping's hidden arrow.

He wanted to leave from Nanpo, but Nangong Sui's army was also stationed on Nanpo, so he had to retreat to the mountain.

When marching and fighting, naturally you can't take food with you, and you eat bread made of flour every day, and your mouth fades out of a bird's taste.

Not only that, but the two tigers in the mountains still wandered outside his camp from time to time, although they did not attack the camp, but they also made the soldiers of the entire Tongque Battalion worry every day.

The injury on his leg was actually healed three days ago.

The cliff on the southern side of the hill was steep, and if they broke through from that side, they would be killed by random arrows before they could descend the mountain.

So he could only try to go to the north slope to impact and see if he could break through and go down the mountain.

However, Yu Mao's arrangement was also very tight, and after leaving three hundred corpses, he could only retreat to the north slope again.

Li Chuan came over with a night of steaming chicken soup, handed it over, and said, "Childe, in the morning the soldiers went to hunt a pheasant, and I asked them to boil the chicken soup." Drink some soup to replenish your body. ”

Wei Zhang didn't take the chicken soup, but said very disappointed: "No need, you give it to those wounded soldiers, they need nutrition very much." ”

"The subordinates have already distributed the chicken and chicken soup to the wounded soldiers, and this is for you. You drink it, only if you have the spirit, can you take us to break out of the encirclement......" Li Chuan still held the chicken soup and persuaded him.

"Wait...... Don't talk yet! Li Chuan, did you hear any movement under the mountain? Wei Zhang suddenly remained motionless, and his ears leaned in the direction of the mountain.

Li Chuan showed a suspicious look, and he also leaned down the mountain to listen. At this time, he faintly heard some noisy collision of weapons and shouts of killing.

"There's a battle down the hill!" Wei Zhang stood up with a happy look on his face, looking for a good position and looking down the mountain.

"Could it be that the rescuers are coming?" Li Chuan was also very excited and followed.

There were also many generals and soldiers of the Tongque Battalion who also heard the movement below the mountain and came over one after another, holding their heads high, wanting to see the situation at the bottom of the mountain clearly.

They vaguely saw that there were troops fighting in Yu Mao's barracks at the foot of the mountain, and the grain, grass and tents in the barracks were ignited by fire, and flames soared into the sky.

"Li Chuan, you have sharp eyes, whose banner is it that can clearly see the army that is fighting with Yu Mao?" Wei Zhang asked.

Li Chuan looked at the two warring sides, searched for the location of the banner, and vaguely saw the word "ginger". Then he said: "Childe, the words on the banner seem to be ginger!" Could it be the army of the East China Sea royal family? ”

"Could it be Jiang Fu?" Wei Zhang guessed.

"Childe, Jiang Fu marches with us! If he had taken the sun and had come to our rescue, he wouldn't have waited until now, would he? Moreover, judging from the fact that Nangong Sui's army is still stationed on the southern slope, the East China Sea has not entered either! Could this be Yu Mao's trick to lure the enemy, pretending to rescue the royal family of the East China Sea to trick us down the northern slope and annihilate us in one fell swoop? Another well-mannered general said with some skepticism.

"My subordinates think so too."

"It is a little unusual for the flag of the East China Sea royal family to suddenly appear at this time."

The other generals also agreed with what the polite general guessed, and Wei Zhang's face sank.

Oh, yes! If Jiang Fu captured Yangyang, he would definitely know that they were besieged on the northern slope, and it would not be half a month later that they would come to rescue him.

And the army on the southern slope has not yet withdrawn, which proves that the army of the East China Sea has not yet broken through the defense line of Luping in Huayin Mountain, and it is impossible for the army of the East China Sea royal family to fight here.

Li Chuan's brows shrank into a Sichuan character, and he said, "Childe, my subordinates don't think so. ”

"Oh?" Wei Zhang looked at Li Chuan in surprise and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"Childe, take a closer look, the army that attacked Yu Mao is wearing the armor of Yulinwei, which can be described as extremely heroic. Their spears and swords almost pierced the entire body of Yu Mao's soldiers, and in this instant, Yu Mao had already lost almost five hundred people! In Yu Mao's eyes, we are already turtles in the urn, and sooner or later we will be trapped and die on Huayin Mountain! If it is a trick to lure the enemy, then is the price of four or five hundred people a bit too big? ”

Wei Zhang looked down the mountain carefully, the army that attacked Yu Mao was indeed very bloody, and the battle between the two sides was almost to the point of life and death.

If it was really Yu Mao's plan to lure the enemy, it would definitely not be like this.

"No matter! Anyway, we are trapped here, there is no way back! It's better to kill down the mountain and attack with the army below to reduce the casualties of friendly troops! Wei Zhang thought about it, stomped his foot and said.

"Pass my orders! The Bronze Sparrow Battalion is ready to go down the mountain to support the friendly forces immediately! ”

Jiang Fu looked at the fighting army, this time he attacked Yu Mao, he only sent 3,000 Yu Lin Wei, and the other 2,000 spies who went to the vicinity to clear the patrol, so as not to let the news of this place reach Hancheng.

Yu Linwei is the elite of the East China Sea, and Yu Mao's army is the defender of the previous Yang, and its combat effectiveness is not strong. In addition, they only woke up from their sleep early in the morning, they had just eaten breakfast, and they were still attacked by Yu Linwei, so they were defeated and retreated.

"Kill!"

"Kill Yu Mao's dog thief!"

At this time, he saw the dense soldiers on the mountain rushing down and joining the battle to annihilate Yu Mao.

Jiang Fu smiled slightly, "It seems that Wei Zhang knows that I came to save him!" ”

"That's all right, and he's a wise man. At least the total annihilation of Yu Mao's army can reduce the loss of troops. Now all of our troops are precious! Xu Xiang also nodded and said.

"Let's go! Go meet Wei Zhang. Jiang Fu got up and asked the soldiers to lead the horses that had captured Nangong Sui's scouts.

"Go see him! I'm not going. Xu Xiang shook his head and said.

The news that Jiang Xiang, Xu Xiang and Jiang Shenyu have not died yet, naturally cannot be known to others.

Except for a few of his henchmen, the current Yu Linwei didn't know that the people who saved them were Xu Xiang and Jiang Shenyu, who had died in Bangyue Tower, but Jiang Xiang's subordinates.

"Childe! It's ginger! And in the Tongque camp that rushed down, Li Chuan saw Jiang Fu riding towards them at a glance, and said to Wei Zhang excitedly.

When Wei Zhang heard this, he was overjoyed.

Besieged by Yu Linwei and the Tongque Battalion, Yu Mao's army was quickly defeated, and except for a few hundred people who dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees, the rest were beheaded.

Wei Zhang and Jiang Fu finally met.

"I didn't expect it to be Your Highness!" Wei Zhang saluted Jiang Fu.

"Master Chang doesn't have to be polite, this time it's too late!"

"Why! Wei is really ashamed, he failed to smuggle and draw water, so he can only retreat here and wait for rescue! Wei Zhang said with a look of shame.

"Now that we've come to this, let's stop being polite! Now, we can work together to turn this defeat around. ”

"What are your highness's plans? Wei listens! "Wei Zhang's soldiers and horses lost more than 1,000 people when they smuggled into the water, and three hundred people lost another 300 people when they tried to break through the mountain three days ago, Jiang Fu came to the rescue, he went down the mountain to join the battle and lost more than 100 people, and now there are only more than 3,000 soldiers under his hands.

And Jiang Fu's more than 5,000 people only lost more than 200.

In addition, now that the people of the Tongque Battalion have been besieged on the northern slope for a long time, their combat effectiveness has been reduced, and if they act alone, they will definitely lose more than they gain.

Therefore, it is better to focus on ginger jackets.

"Master Zhang, I'll tell you about what happened these days!"

Subsequently, Jiang Cheng told Wei Zhang about the three cities of Suiguo, the situation in the East China Sea, and the situation in Minzhou, and told him the plan to attack Hancheng next.

"Beimeng deceives people too much! I said how could my father not send troops to save me! Wei Zhang said angrily, and then his expression was very sad, "My third brother ......"

"Your Highness! I fully agree with your plan, and the Bronze Sparrow Battalion will all be at the disposal of His Highness! Wei Zhang clasped his fists with both hands, gave Jiang Fu a military salute, and then said: "End this war as soon as possible, I want to rush back to Minzhou as soon as possible, help my father, and drive Beimeng out of Minzhou!" ”

"The situation in Minzhou is okay now, and Gongzi Zhang doesn't have to worry. It's just that our plan has to be carried out carefully, and there can be no mistakes, and please cheer up! ”

"Li Chuan! Pass me on the order! In the future, the orders issued by His Royal Highness must be carried out unconditionally by the Tongque Battalion, and those who violate military law will be involved! ”

"Yes!"

The East China Sea royal family can't order the army in Minzhou, and Jiang Cheng is helpless about it, but now that Wei Zhang said so, it is much easier.

Jiang Fu smiled at him gratefully, "Thank you!" ”
