The place where the water was taken was in Zheli Ridge, and An Siqing first occupied Zheli Ridge and changed the flow direction of the original water source on the ridge.

When Cai Guishan led thirteen doctors to fetch water, he was falling into the ambush of the Wei army in the "water source".

The Wei army took the lead and threw arrows and guns for a while, and most of the dozens of dead soldiers and doctors who rushed to the water's edge first were shot into hedgehogs.

The medicine box on Lan Datou's back blocked a few arrows for him, and he was lucky not to die, Yuan Xin walked at the end and hid behind a big tree when he saw that the situation was not good. The thirteen doctors were left with these two in the blink of an eye.

The commander of the Wei army ambushed here was Geng Youde, and when Geng Youde saw that dozens of people were killed at once, he beckoned to prepare to clean up the battlefield.

As soon as Geng Youde stood up, he realized that the situation was not right, and a group of enemies were rushing from both sides, and they were all running around in the woods.

Cai Guishan is cautious and sincere, and it was enough to send dozens of people to take doctors to explore the way to get water. But Cai Guishan brought more than half of the people in the camp.

The people in front encountered an ambush, Cai Guishan saw it really from behind, the enemy was not more than them, but the ambush in advance caught them off guard.

Dozens of people died, and the general battalion retreated. But for the battalion of dead soldiers, even if hundreds more people die, they will not retreat.

However, Cai Guishan also had a follow-up move, commanding the rest of the people to outflank him from both sides, and sending five people back to report back to ask for reinforcements.

Geng Youde's first reaction was to run, and he clearly saw Cai Guishan rushing over with a knife with red eyes.

As soon as Geng Youde ran, the Wei army in ambush also ran, and the previous slaughterer was also slaughtered in a moment.

The men of the dead battalion threw short knives and halberds while shooting, and the Wei army left corpses all over the mountain.

"Help! These few are still saved! Lan Datou shouted, but only Yuan Xin crawled over to help him, and the rest of the people just ran past them and didn't pay attention to them at all.

Yuan Xin grabbed a person's hand and "took a hand and helped carry them down the mountain"

The man immediately broke free, "It's all ejaculated, it's hopeless, you're not a god!" ”

Cai Guishan only cared about chasing and killing the Wei army, and he rushed to kill, completely ignoring that he had already gone to the ridge with dozens of people.

Geng Youde took off his armor as he ran, and the dead soldiers behind him couldn't catch up with him at all.

Geng Youde rushed all the way to the Wei army camp halfway up the mountainside, and when he saw Shang Duzhong, the commander of the village, the first thing he said was "Run, the enemy is stealing the camp!" ”

Shang Duzhong didn't know what was going on, and when he was hesitating, a few more routs ran in and shouted, "It's coming, it's coming, run!" ”

Seeing that there were many black-clothed people behind the rout, Shang Duzhong immediately picked up his knife and ran away with Geng Youde.

The two commanders ran away one after another, and the soldiers under their command didn't have time to think about it, so they lost their guys and fled in all directions.

After seizing the camp halfway up the mountain, Cai Guishan and the dead battalion stopped to repair and wait for reinforcements from the rear team.

After Li Xiaofei learned of the situation ahead, he immediately rushed over with his fifty personal soldiers, and at this time, Deng Liang's rear team had also arrived halfway up the mountain, but Cai Guishan was gone.

The people who stayed behind told Deng Liang that Cai Guishan led people to continue to the top of the mountain, saying that they wanted to find out the truth of the Wei army.

"Don't fool me, Cai Guishan, this guy is a ghost, he is afraid that we will rob him of his credit, and he will take someone up the mountain to do a big vote!" Deng Liang knew that Cai Guishan would never just inquire, why did he bring a hundred people to investigate.

Deng Liang is not worried about the safety of Cai Guishan and his party, after all, he is a dead soldier, and it is not a problem to retreat with his whole body.

When Li Xiaofei arrived, Deng Liang had already deployed the camp, and he was a little proud, "Lord Li, we will defend this camp, even if the Wei army is condescending, it will be difficult to take it!" ”

Li Xiaofei shook his head, "We are here to seize the water source, is there a water source in this camp?" ”

Deng Liang was stunned for a while and patted his head, "Master Li, oops, I forgot to find water!" I'll find it right away! ”

"Hurry up and find it, there is no water source, and it is useless for us to take this camp! Where did Cai Guishan go? Li Xiaofei found that Cai Guishan was not there, and he became worried

Deng Liang pointed to the mountain: "Lao Cai, go and investigate."

The hostility is gone."

Li Xiaofei flew up the mountain and looked at it, "Quickly send someone to answer, the more you go to the top of the mountain, the more enemies there are, even if you probe, I'm afraid you will fall into a heavy siege!" ”

Deng Liang's team was about to set off, but Cai Guishan came back with the people from the Dead Soldier Battalion.

It turned out that Cai Guishan walked not far up, and found that the Wei army was reinforcing the fence and patrolling around, and it was already very difficult to go up the mountain at this moment, so he brought someone to touch it back.

Seeing Cai Guishan coming back, Li Xiaofei asked Deng Liang to send a team of men and horses to disturb the Wei army in various places after nightfall, and Cai Guishan led people to wait for an opportunity to find a breakthrough and go up the mountain.

This Geng Youde and Shang faithfully reported that An Siqing eliminated hundreds of Southern Navy at the foot of the mountain, and the Southern Navy Brigade attacked the mountain and had to retreat up the mountain.

An Siqing was taken aback: "How many are there in the Southern Navy?" Have they ever taken the water away? ”

Geng Youde stretched out his right hand, "There were 500 people at the head of the mountain, and then there were thousands of people halfway up the mountain!" ”

An Siqing asked Geng Youde to go out, and then asked Shang Duzhong, "How are you fighting halfway up the mountain?" How many people have we lost? ”

"Our army was defeated in battle, and more than 200 people were lost! Please also ask General An to forgive your sins! ”

An Siqing glanced at Shang Quanzhong, not like he was lying, so he asked the two to continue to lead their troops to Ertailing to resist the Southern Navy.

After the two left, An Siqing's adviser Ouyang Ning suggested that he take someone to take a look, "I know these two people, they have done a lot of killing and risking in the past, and they escaped from the battle, if it weren't for someone in the court, they would have been cut down a long time ago." Today, he is invincible, but he is invincible, but I think there is something strange in this, General An is in danger of Jiangnan safety, and he must be investigated! ”

An Siqing immediately understood, and took his own soldiers to Ertailing Village to sit in person in person.

Geng Youde and Shang Duzhong originally pointed to the Southern Navy and continued to flee after attacking again, but now An Siqing personally commanded it, and it was a little difficult to escape.

After nightfall, Deng Liang led people to set fires everywhere below Ertai Ridge and shouted. The Wei army really beat drums and sounded the horn to be on guard, and An Siqing drew his sword and went out of the village to watch the places where the fires broke out everywhere.

"Don't panic, the brothers guarding the village also set fire around the stockade to prevent the enemy from mixing in!" An Siqing immediately thought that the frontal enemy was just to attract their attention, and he would not be stupid enough to attack head-on. However, there are some steep cliffs around the stockade that need to be aware of.

Originally, An Siqing shouted this sentence to remind the Wei army in the stockade to be prepared.

As a result, someone immediately shouted, "Oh no, the general said that an enemy has mixed in!" ”

"The general said that he set fire to the stockade!"

The Wei military camp in Ertailing suddenly caught fire and was in chaos, and when Geng Youde and Shangzhong saw this, he immediately led people to continue to run, and actually left An Siqing in the stockade.

Cai Guishan was leading people to climb the rock at this time, and he could see it clearly in the firelight, so he went to An Siqing.

An Siqing drew his sword to stop everyone from staying and resisting, and only one chief, Wang Yiyang, brought nine people around him to protect him. Wang Yiyang pulled An Siqing and ran into the dark, putting An Siqing's helmet on the head of a soldier as he ran.

An Siqing and the others didn't run far before they were intercepted by Cai Guishan and the Dead Soldiers' Battalion.

Seeing that he was about to become a ghost under the sword, the soldier wearing the general's helmet stood up, "The person you are looking for is me, don't embarrass my brothers!" ”

Cai Guishan looked at this helmet and immediately smiled, "Okay, there is a kind, I admire it, okay, you go with us, the others lose their weapons and go!" I'm the one who speaks! ”

Wang Yiyang grabbed the soldier at this moment, "We want to go together, we want to die together, general, we won't leave if we die!" ”

Cai Guishan felt that it was in the way, "It's a lot of comradeship, blow them away, catch a general and go back, no one can compare with our credit this time!" ”

Cai Guishan and his entourage escorted the soldier back, and Wang Yiyang and An Siqing quickly disappeared into the night.

didn't go far when An Siqing bumped into a group of people head-on, secretly screaming that he would die here tonight.

I didn't want Ouyang Ning to bring people here, Ouyang Ning saw the fire in Ertailing on the top of the mountain, so he took everyone and rushed down.

Ouyang Ning did not directly rescue Ertailing, but rushed halfway up the mountain to kill, Deng Liang and Li Xiaofei almost failed to resist, and hurriedly struck a gong, Lin Changsheng arrived with a bow and crossbow battalion to barely suppress Ouyang Ning

Offensive.

Ouyang Ning's purpose was to use offense instead of defense to block the momentum of the Southern Navy's ascent of the mountain. Seeing that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, he retreated to Ertailing in an orderly manner, and only then did he meet An Siqing.

Cai Guishan escorted the so-called "general" back to the stockade halfway up the mountain for interrogation, only to learn that he had been fooled, and Cai Guishan drew his sword to stab the soldier who replaced An Siqing to death.

Li Xiaofei stopped, "Forget it, each for his own master, such a person is also a righteous man, you give a favor, I will also send a favor, let him go!" ”

"In the end, I will go to chase An Siqing again, and I will make a contribution, it is all my kindness!" Cai Guishan wants to lead people to continue up the mountain

Li Xiaofei was actually a little annoyed, but he had no choice but to wave his hand, "It's okay, don't let An Siqing go next time!" It's too late to chase now, General Cai and his brothers will rest for the night."

Deng Liang also joked on the side, "Lao Cai, the fish around the big fish are not small, remember to catch them all next time."

Although Li Xiaofei did not blame Cai Guishan, Cai Guishan and his subordinates felt that they couldn't hold their face, so they secretly went up the mountain overnight to continue chasing An Siqing.

An Siqing escaped death, returned to the camp on the top of the mountain, and immediately took the guards to cut down Geng Youde and Shang Duzhong, who fled first.

Everyone was shocked, these two people had backers in the Luoyang Dynasty, and now An Siqing said that he would kill him, in order to save this head, the remaining commanders all knelt on the ground to show their loyalty.

"And there are those who escape! Take these two as an example! Wang Yiyang, the head of the Zhongzi Battalion, temporarily took the position of the commander of the Zhongzi Battalion! The Changsheng Battalion is temporarily in charge of Wei Wuji, the commander of the Zhichong Battalion! An Si swept around the people who were kneeling on the ground, and felt more and more that these people were unreliable, but they had already killed two and could not be killed again. Those who should be punished have been punished, and those who should be rewarded have been rewarded, and what we want now is to inspire the morale of the army.

"Today, our army lost more than 300 brothers in the Changsheng Battalion of the Zhongzi Battalion, and the other side also suffered one or two hundred casualties, and the opponent's combat strength was equal to that of our army! The first battle during the day shows that the Southern Navy is nothing more than that! If you were each other's commanders, I wouldn't be able to come back today! It can be seen that they have not fought any battles! As long as you work together with me, we will be able to defeat the enemy! ”

The kneeling crowd also knew that now saying that retreating from the army was definitely a dead end, so they had to echo An Siqing.

"General An is mighty, we will definitely follow the general to defeat the enemy army!"

"The general is mighty, and it has only been a few days since he broke the enemy! We must take Geng Youde and Shang as a precept, and we will not retreat from the battle! ”

Seeing that the goal was achieved, An Siqing asked the battalions to strengthen their vigilance and let out all the hunting dogs brought with the army to prevent Li Xiaofei's people from mixing in.

Li Xiaofei was also on guard in the camp tent at the bottom of the mountain, the original plan was all disrupted, the siege battle turned into an encounter, and the water source was still controlled by the enemy, and a water source that was captured had already been soaked in the Wei army's fecal corpses.

In this way, the only way to fight is to retreat dozens of miles to find a water source, but they are afraid that the Wei army will pursue.

Chen Jingyi saw Li Xiaofei walking around in the camp tent, and the figure was shaking, so he broke in and took the initiative to ask for a break, and asked Li Xiaofei to withdraw with the other three battalions one after another.

"Master Li, although I don't have much experience in fighting, you can completely trust my martial arts, you can rest assured that you will leave the matter to me after the break, and I will definitely bring back all the brothers in the White Horse Camp!"

"General Chen, I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about such a stalemate, our army's purpose is to reinforce Sanjiangkou, this goal will not be completed, even if our army is unscathed, it will be defeated!"

In the daytime encounter, Chen Jingyi also knew the battle situation, this Wei army killed more than 100 people in the dead battalion and the spear battalion, if it wasn't for the bow and crossbow battalion to suppress the position in time, the loss would have been even greater.

Chen Jingyi couldn't say anything about breaking the enemy and seizing the road at this time, and the White Horse Battalion was inferior to the other three battalions in terms of climbing mountains and mountains.

Li Xiaofei looked at Chen Jingyi, "It's not too early, I'll take people to retreat overnight, after I leave, you take people to beat drums and set fire to smoke as cover and then retreat, move quickly!" ”

Chen Jingyi took the order and left, and Li Xiaofei ordered Lin Changsheng, Deng Liang, and Cai Guishan to retreat.

The pro-soldiers who gave the order reported that "General Deng and General Lin have gathered their brothers, just waiting for Lord Li to give the order, General Cai's camp is empty, and the camp of dead soldiers is also less than 200 people, and only more than 200 people are left in the camp!" ”

Li Xiaofei's scalp was a little numb, this Cai Guishan actually disobeyed the order and led people out without permission.

The soldier quietly asked, "Could it be?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, there is no problem with General Cai's loyalty! I'm afraid that he took the brothers of the camp of the dead up the mountain! ”
