The grinding stone, which was slightly polished into a circle, was freed out of the pocket frame under the action of the lever, and with a strange roar of "whirring", it drew an arc in the air and smashed heavily into the neatly arranged ranks of the slasher team.

"Peng", "Bang", a knife cutter's head was smashed, red and white splashed on the ground, and the dead body fell down. The stone continued to gain momentum, and with a loud bang it hit the ground and then bounced up, turning in a direction and flying towards the soldier on the left, who was smashed in the chest before he could dodge, his breastplate shattered, and he was smashed into the air, and his mouth spurted blood. The stone continued to roll forward for a while, and the team panicked, and everyone rushed to dodge. Twenty thunderbolts made a loud noise, and the stones smashed into the slashing team with the grim smile of death, and immediately the neat formation became chaotic, and the soldiers scattered and fled, and the desert cavalry let out a cheer and pursued the scattered Zheng soldiers from the side.

Zheng Jun was all shocked, when did the desert people have such a powerful weapon. Miao Tieshan's face changed, and then he laughed loudly: "This is the last hole card of the Moren." The sound of this car is loud, but unfortunately the power is limited, even if it is allowed to smash, how many people can it hit? There are few stones in this desert, and the desert people should have torn down the walls of the royal city, hahaha. ”

The echoing laughter of the people around reached the ears of the soldiers, and the morale of the army quickly calmed down. Miao Tieshan ordered in a deep voice: "Order the knife team to move forward, quickly avoid the slings, and snatch those useless slings for me. ”

Don't look at Miao Tieshan's easy words, as the commander of the army, he clearly knows that if this catapult appears on the battlefield on a large scale, it will change the direction of the battle, if the stones can be launched like a rain of arrows, then what kind of strict formation is also like a fictitious, even the slashing team is just a fish belly. If the desert people use catapults to attack the city, then will the city wall that Zheng Guo relied on to defend collapse by the stone rain, and such a sharp weapon will have to be obtained at a great cost.

When the order came, the slashing team regrouped and advanced, and soon the throwing stone fell behind him, and the desert cavalry that blocked the advance of the slashing team was split by a knife, seeing that the slashing team was gradually approaching the thunderbolt car, Li Man hurriedly said: "Qu Master, quickly order the thunderbolt to retreat." ”

Qu retorted: "What are you panicking, the knife team is moving slowly, and it can't be reached without a pillar of incense." At present, the sword team broke away from the infantry army formation behind them, and it was the right time to order the thunderbolt to continue throwing stones, and the light cavalry bypassed the sword team and launched an attack on the infantry phalanx. ”

Miao Tieshan also found that the infantry phalanx did not keep up after the slashing team advanced forward, causing the slashing team to go deep alone. Hurriedly ordered: "Order the shields to line up and move forward, cover the infantry to keep up with the slashing team, and move forward!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw the desert cavalry bypassing the slashing team like flowing water, attacking the infantry phalanx from both flanks, the infantry was at a disadvantage against the cavalry, and it took five or six people to form a formation to resist a light horseman, and the light cavalry came and went like the wind, and could quickly break away and find an opportunity to attack again.

Miao Tieshan shouted: "Jiang Anyi can lead a light horse to come? ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, Miao Tieshan said: "Sound the horn, order the light cavalry to attack from the left and right sides, stumble the desert light cavalry, and the army will advance as a whole." The horn sounded, Jiang Anyi divided the 100,000 light cavalry into two and headed towards the desert cavalry, and the two armies were in one place.

Qu Zhidao looked coldly at the battlefield below, the soldiers on both sides fought like ant colonies, and the red color spread on the snow, expanding more and more. Qu Zhidao's eyes were fixed on the Daxu Banner that represented Miao Tieshan, and seeing the Qi Qi moving forward, Qu Guidao said excitedly: "Okay, let the blue wolf ride out and attack the Qi Qi, and the rest will depend on Zhang Shangtu." ”

With that, Qu turned around and bent down to sit in the car and lowered the curtain.

Li Man jumped out of the car, turned over on his horse, and led the wolf to ride towards the banner.

The battlefield was already a chaos, more than 400,000 people were fighting in a radius of more than ten miles, the sound of horns came and went, the flying flags were dazzling, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

Determined to surrender to the Northern Desert, Zhang Shangtu discussed a number of plans with Lu Le, one was to go straight to the desert camp with the soldiers, and then coerce the soldiers to announce their surrender, so that the most people could be brought over; the second is to disrupt the camp and create an opportunity for the desert army to take advantage of, resulting in the collapse of the rear army; The third is to seize Miao Tieshan and coerce him to surrender together. If you want to gamble, you will bet the biggest, Zhang Shangtu wants to seize Miao Tieshan and give Mo Ren a big gift, and the territory given to him will be bigger at that time.

To do such a big thing, it is definitely not enough to rely on him and Lu Le alone, Zhang Shangtu has been the deputy governor for many years, and he naturally has a few henchmen, luring him to benefit, coercing him, and moving him with affection, Zhang Shangtu has attracted more than 30 people, and the number of people who can directly and indirectly control these people has exceeded 100 people. Zhang Shangtu has been sitting on pins and needles for the past two days, restless and restless, just like all the gamblers waiting for the flop after betting, full of anticipation and anxiety, the closer he gets, the more nervous he is, his face is swollen and red, and he is about to lose his breath.

Lu Le disguised himself as his personal guard and reminded softly: "General Zhang, the banner of the great commander is moving forward, and we have to keep up." Zhang Shangtu took a long breath, nodded at his subordinate Hu Boguang and motioned for him to temporarily lead the army to listen to the order, Zhang Shangtu had saved Hu Boguang's life on the battlefield, Hu Boguang learned that he was ready to surrender and did not hesitate to follow.

Glancing at Lu Le, Zhang Shangtu took him to gallop towards the flag of the Chinese army, and the eight guards were all insiders, urging the war horse to follow behind. Without waiting for Zhang Shangtu to approach, the Chinese army guards stopped Zhang Shangtu, and someone said: "General Zhang, you must not approach the marshal if you have nothing to do, please return to the headquarters." ”

Zhang Shangtu shouted: "I have something urgent to report to the marshal." Miao Dashuai, Zhang has something to say, Miao Shuai, his subordinates are willing to make meritorious contributions. ”

Miao Tieshan frowned, his mood was a little complicated, Zhang Shangtu was his optimistic assistant, the two had worked together for more than ten years, it was not bad to say that they were brothers, they originally intended to train him as a successor, and after he left, the Anbei Protectorate could maintain the status quo, and he could leave with confidence, but Zhang Shangtu was unlucky, and first let go of the light cavalry of the Laena Badai Department, which was just a small mistake, and the marshal only reprimanded him. However, in order to make up for his mistakes, Zhang Shangtu disobeyed the order and wanted to attack the enemy with strange troops when the desert cavalry was besieging the Danuo Lake garrison, but the desert people seized the opportunity to lose their troops and lose their generals.

This defeat means that Zhang Shangtu has lost the opportunity to turn over, from the general of Guide from the third grade to the ranger general from the fifth grade, Miao Tieshan understands in his heart that if the Northern Expedition wins the Moren Royal Court, Zhang Shangtu still has a chance of life, but the army is forced to go south, there must be a scapegoat for the failure of this battle, and Zhang Shangtu who made mistakes in the war must bear the brunt, and whether he can save his life is two words.

Zhang Shangtu came to him many times, and Miao Tieshan ordered the flag and personal guards to block the car, and deliberately did not see him. It's not that Miao Tieshan is weak, it's just that he feels that he can't help when he sees Zhang Shangtu begging for help, but he is sad, it's better not to see it, and wait for the opportunity to talk about it. Today's outbreak of war, Miao Tieshan's heart moved, if Zhang Shangtu can make a great contribution, he can at least save his life on the basis of reason.

Thinking of this, Miao Tieshan ordered: "Let General Zhang come over." ”

Zhang Shangtu's heart was pounding, slowed down his horse and came to Miao Tieshan's horse, and said: "Miao Shuai, Zhang is willing to lead his troops to fight to the death of the wolf and fight for opportunities for the army." ”

Miao Tieshan sighed secretly, as he thought, Zhang Shangtu was fighting to the death in the end, and he wanted to exchange his life for a chance. After more than ten years of being together, this favor cannot but help, Miao Tieshan said: "Zhang Shangtu, the 5,000 men and horses you led are not the opponent of the blue wolf ride, I will give you another 30,000 people, you have to do it yourself." ”

Zhang Shangtu's heart trembled, Miao Shuai still regarded himself as a brother, and wanted to take this opportunity to give himself, but it was too late, and he had to send an arrow. stepped forward to receive the order, Zhang Shangtu deliberately distracted everyone's attention, and said gratefully: "Miao Shuai's kindness to Shangtu, Shangtu is difficult to ...... even if he is broken."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Le beside him flew up and grabbed Miao Tieshan in the air. Miao Tieshan had his own master guards beside him, although the incident happened suddenly, but the guards on the left and right beside him rose up and shouted: "There are assassins, protect Miao Shuai." ”

Zhang Shangtu saw that it was not good, pulled out the scimitar on his waist and cut down the guards who handed the order in front of him, and hit Miao Tieshan with a horse, Miao Tieshan was stunned, and immediately came to his senses, Zhang Shangtu reversed. Touching the knife with his backhand, Zhang Shangtu had already rushed to the horse and slashed at the back of the knife in his hand. Miao Tieshan was very old, and his skills were slow to react, and when he saw the knife, he tried his best to bow his head, and was swept in the shoulder by the knife, and his body fell under the horse.

Liao Jianhui swung his spear and stabbed Zhang Shangtu, Zhang Shangtu knew that life and death were on the line, and he didn't resist and went straight off the horse. The tip of the spear pierced into Zhang Shangtu's left shoulder, blood stained his armor red, and Zhang Shangtu's feet fell to the ground. The eight guards behind him rushed over, blocking Liao Jianhui and the others, buying Zhang Shangtu a moment's time.

Miao Tieshan fell off his horse, the old man was old, sitting on the ground with his eyes dazzled, struggling to get up, Zhang Shangtu's scimitar was already on his neck.

"Miao Shuai, I'm sorry." Zhang Shangtu pulled Miao Tieshan up, put the horizontal knife on his neck, and shouted: "Stop, otherwise I will kill Miao Tieshan." ”

The coach was captured, how to fight this battle, Lu Le shook back the two guards, floated down on the other side of Miao Tieshan, and his right palm was buckled on Miao Tieshan's left shoulder, and the Zheng Jun around him looked at each other and did not dare to step forward. Liao Jianhui hurriedly said: "Governor Zhang, what do you mean, Miao Shuai is not thin on you, you quickly let go of Miao Shuai, there is something to discuss." ”

Zhang Shangtu ignored him, signaled to the guards to take the war horse, helped Miao Tieshan onto the horse, and Lu Le sat behind him to control, Zhang Shangtu breathed a sigh of relief, with Miao Tieshan in hand, the matter was already half successful. Zhang Shangtu turned over on the war horse, and said to Miao Tieshan with a smile: "Miao Shuai, thank you, order the sword team to retreat, and the light cavalry will return to the rear of the formation." ”

Miao Tieshan glared angrily and said nothing.

Zhang Shangtu knew that there was no result, and said to Lu Le: "Master, while Miao Tieshan is in hand, hurry up and use him to open the way." Yuan Shifu, you go and call the brothers over, Liao Jianhui, get out of the way, or I will cut Miao Tieshan with one sword. ”

Miao Tieshan's eyes widened with anger, and he roared hoarsely: "Kill this thief, don't worry about me." Liao Jianhui, don't do it yet. ”

Liao Jianhui trembled with a steel spear in his hand, in his heart, Miao Tieshan was like a father, caring and caring for himself, how could he watch him die. Zhang Shangtu knew that there were many dreams at night, so he gently slashed his knife on Miao Tieshan's armor and said, "Master, rush forward, whoever dares to stop me will cut off Miao Tieshan's ears and cut off his arms." ”

Lu Le urged the horse forward, Zhang Shangtu and his men followed closely on the left and right, and the Chinese army was in chaos. Li Man was overjoyed when he saw the Da Qi Qi moving indiscriminately, and shouted: "Miao Tieshan is dead, everyone is killing the Qi Qi." ”

The Mo army was like a rainbow, and under the leadership of the blue wolf horse, they rushed towards the Chinese army.
