According to Li Yanyi's original idea, it was necessary to let the officers and soldiers cross the bridge to 100 people and then cut them off, so that due to the constraints of their own strength, the action was undoubtedly much more difficult. Who thinks that Guo Qizhu is "cautious", and the act of sending 100 people to cross the bridge first solves this difficulty for him.

When the vanguard of the official army was besieged, it was already more than 20 steps away from the bridgehead, and such a large gap was enough for a surprise army prepared by Li Yanyi in advance to break through. I saw a flash of blue light at the bridge, someone jumped and took off to board the stone bridge, and looked at it again, the person was covered in light blue plain armor, and the scarf was flying, although the body was not strong, but there was a heroic temperament. Dozens of sturdy soldiers of the Zhao Battalion then rushed up in unison, and the group gathered the man and crossed the bridge quickly.

Li Yanyi looked at the direction of the stone bridge and secretly couldn't help but sigh a few times. The mission of this strange army is to break through the bridge while there is chaos, so there is no need for many people, and everyone must be brave. Especially the person who commands the leader, if he doesn't have a lot of sharpness, how can he lead this strange team into a sharp blade?

However, looking at the 500 soldiers of the Zhao Battalion who stayed in Yankou Town, it was not easy to select a strange army of 50 people, and it was undoubtedly more difficult to select a fierce general with unique skills and courage than to ascend to the sky, and the task of besieging 100 officers and soldiers on the west side of Yantan Creek was not something that Li Yanyi could not personally take charge of. Who should be sent to lead this strange team?

A few hours ago, the arrow was on the bow, but Li Yanyi was troubled by this matter.

"I'll go."

After a long silence, Li Yanyi suddenly heard this weak but firm sound. He was immediately shocked, and raised his eyes to look at Ru Pingyang, who was speaking.

"Yi'er......" Li Yanyi's mouth opened slightly, and he was speechless in surprise.

"The war is imminent, but there is Ru Pingyang in Yankou Town, and there is no Ru memory!" Ru Pingyang cut the railway. "Yi" is her real name, but she thinks this name is too weak, so she has long abandoned it, and prefers to use the self-starting "Pingyang". Li Yanyi worked under his father Ru Jinsheng for a while, and in order to show his intimacy, he preferred to call her by her original name. Ru Pingyang Pingsu didn't care, when he heard the name when the fire burned his eyebrows, the anger came up.

Li Yanyi's face was embarrassed: "How can I let you risk the rain?" ”

Ru Pingyang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "When is it, do you still care about this?" Say, "Of these five hundred, who is better than me?" ”

Li Yanyi was speechless for a while, and Ru Pingyang glared and said again: "If you can't stop the official army, you and I can't escape to death." What will you protect me at that time? ”

The sound of a horn came from the enemy tower not far away, and Li Yanyi knew that this was a message that the enemy was approaching. He is not an indecisive person, and he has always respected Ru Pingyang's opinions, and he has always been very respectful, and after a moment of judging the situation, he chose to listen to Ru Pingyang.

Li Yanyi was in charge of the rear camp quartermaster, and a month ago, he selected a piece of chain mail for Ru Pingyang that fit extremely well among the trophies. This piece of chain mail is very well-made, and the iron rings of the layers of buckles are as small as fingernails, which not only has outstanding defensive capabilities, but also is extremely lightweight. Ru Pingyang can't put down this chain mail, and he has close internal protection almost every day, so there is no need to change into armor at this moment of urgency.

Back to the present, Li Yanyi watched the swift Ru Pingyang and others crossing the bridge, and his heart was horizontal. Although he was inevitably frightened by Ru Pingyang at this time, he also knew very well that if Ru Pingyang's operation on the other side unfortunately failed, then the city gate would be ruined, and he would not be able to escape defeat. But thinking about today's battle, even if the two can't live together, they can die together, Li Yanyi was excited, and the courage in his heart immediately surged.

On the east side of Yantan Creek, Guo Qizhu's troops, which were originally all stationed in Changgou, immediately mobilized after receiving the emergency report. At the moment, Guo Qizhu was not too worried, because according to his expectations, the bandits entrenched in Yankou Town must have wanted to carry out the strategy of "half-crossing and attacking" to do the dying struggle, the long ditch is only a bridge away from the west bank, the footsteps are fast, it is just a blink of an eye, the vanguard can hold on no matter what, and when the six hundred people join forces, the thieves will be defeated.

The horn sounded three times, Guo Qizhu organized the soldiers to set off in an orderly manner, and the long and narrow ditch was soon crowded. Guo Qizhu had a knife in his hand, and was just about to speak, when a sudden report suddenly came from the front, saying that a group of thieves had suddenly attacked from the west bank.

"How many thieves are there?" Guo Qizhu couldn't believe his ears, the Zhao thief remnants of Yankou Town were so bold, with only hundreds of people, not only daring to fight with the elite of his battalion on the west bank, but now they were killing his own head with great momentum.

"Less than a hundred!"

"Less than a hundred?" Guo Qizhu was stunned for a moment, first shocked, and then couldn't cry or laugh. It seems that the leader of the Zhao thief is really poor in donkey skills, and he actually made such a strategy, in a vain attempt to kill himself by decapitation, in order to reverse the disadvantage in one fell swoop.

Thieves with less than 100 people are not enough to stuff their teeth. After Guo Qizhu understood the situation, he didn't pay attention to this sudden situation, and sneered: "Ignorant rats, kill yourself!" After that, the herald said, "Let the front resist first, and the rear will continue to advance......"

The word "enter" was not finished, and the afterglow flashed brightly, Guo Qizhu's eyes were quick, and he turned his head sideways to avoid a firelight from the breaking wind.

Before he could settle down, an arrow was stuck at his feet, and flames were dancing on it.

"Thieves shoot rockets!"

Out of nowhere, there was a heart-rending howl, Guo Qizhu was furious in his heart, and just wanted to reprimand "But a few rockets are nothing to be afraid of", but when the words came to his mouth, he immediately stopped talking. Because he found that the rockets that kept crossing the sky and shot into the long ditch landed on the sacks and carts scattered all over the ground, which had caused a lot of fire.

"Ge Laozi's ......" Guo Qizhu reacted quickly and secretly cried out bitterly. This long ditch is already long and narrow, and with the accumulation of many cars blocking the road, it is even more cramped. This is not the most fatal, the most fatal thing is that in order to seek the maximum use of troops, 500 people stationed the long ditch to the full, and the widest part of the long ditch is only for whirling horses.

He was shocked, the west first crossing was already on fire, a gust of wind blew, bringing extremely thick black smoke, Guo Qizhu and the soldiers around him were all dry eyes, coughing uncontrollably. In the flow of tears, a general crawled over and said with a crying voice: "The west first crossing has become a sea of fire, and it is difficult to pass!" ”

Guo Qizhu closed his eyes and scolded angrily: "Waste, just a few thieves, you can't hold it anymore?" ”

The general coughed several times and said: "Our department has not yet come out of the ditch, the thieves arrived first, and the first one was really fierce, stabbing two athletes to death, and our department was a little weaker, and the troops could not be deployed smoothly." And the rear of the thieves salvo rockets, and fire oil and other things beckoned up, our department did not go out of the long ditch one step, and the road was already blazing! ”

Guo Qizhu wiped his eyes, opened them slightly, and squinted to the west, the dense black smoke over there was as thick as a cloud, and he could only see Mingyue's fire through the gaps, and there was no way to know what it was. From time to time, random arrows broke through the smoke and shot coldly to his side, in addition to shooting and killing a few unsuspecting soldiers, the surrounding fire also continued to spread.

"Get out!" Guo Qizhu was furious, he could accept a frontal defeat, but he couldn't accept being plotted.

"There are already more than ten people clashes ahead, but the fire is too fierce, and those more than ten people have already become charred!" The family will be raining down tears, crying and telling about what lies ahead.

Guo Qizhu looked at the smoke that continued to spread eastward, and said hatefully: "The west wind is blowing very strongly, and God won't help me!" ”

The general said earnestly: "After the fire started, the front retreated at full speed, and now except for the more than ten people who died first and more than ten people who died in the fire, the casualties are not too heavy, and the rest are on the way." Please give the order for the whole army to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise when the front arrives here, the front and rear will be congested so that we can't move, and we will all be coking! ”

"If I withdraw, where will I put the robe on the west bank?" Guo Qizhu was shocked when he thought of the 100 elites.

The general advised: "The fire is blocking the way, non-human beings can be stronger, and now the west wind is coming with fire, if you can't get out as soon as possible, the casualties will be even greater!" ”

Guo Qizhu coughed twice, his eyes widened angrily, and he was especially unconvinced, at this moment, with a strong wind, a tongue of fire suddenly burst out black smoke and hit the head of the general, burning people with scorched ashes. The house was going to roll to the ground, screaming in dismay, almost chilling. Guo Qizhu opened his eyes and looked at the long groove that had filled the entire space with black smoke, and his clenched teeth finally slowly loosened.

On the other side, on the east bank of the Salt Flat Creek, looking at the black pillars that soared into the sky, the Zhao Ying's strange army burst into huge cheers.

There were constantly officers and soldiers rushing outside from the sea of fire, they were either covered in fire, or they had already lost their minds to the smoke, in short, they were scattered one by one to the Zhao Yingqi team who were waiting for the rabbit to capture and kill one by one. Ru Pingyang stood by the stream, took off his helmet, shook off his long wet hair, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Shicai, if it weren't for her desperate rush to the mouth of the long ditch to assassinate the brave and strong two officers and soldiers, and hit the sharp spirit of the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers who rushed out of the long ditch were afraid that they would immediately be able to defeat Zhao Ying's strange army. And it was such a short moment of hesitation that allowed Zhao Ying to seize the opportunity and seize the victory forever.

"One husband is invincible", such an ancient saying is actually used on a woman like herself today, and the corners of Ru Pingyang's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

The fire in the long ditch was raging, and it was difficult to burn out for half a day, so Ru Pingyang took a short rest, leaving a small part of the troops to continue to squat and guard the mouth, and rushed back to the west bank with the rest of the people.

The vanguard of the officers and troops on the west bank had already seen the strange situation on the east bank, and they were full of suspicion, and their fighting spirit plummeted. Li Yanyi knew that he couldn't trap him with his own troops, and he didn't want to waste time in vain, so he opened an opening and let the vanguard of the official army go. In fact, the fierce fighting has been fierce so far, and on the west side of the salt flat stream, the casualties on both sides are only about a dozen.

The strong man's broken wrist was the strategy proposed by Ru Pingyang before.

What's broken? Naturally, it was the burned hay and grain in the long ditch. Things are dead, people are alive, and it is not more cost-effective to exchange the price of part of the grain and grass for most of the booty and the retention of troops in Yankou Town.

The soldiers made dangerous moves, and suddenly won a complete victory, as soon as he saw his face, Li Yanyi's heart fluttered, and he could no longer care about the image and majesty in front of the soldiers, and hugged Ru Pingyang tightly in his arms.

"It worked!" Li Yanyi almost burst into tears. I thought that the two of them would turn into a pair of Lianli branches today, but who knows, the world is impermanent, and he and Ru Pingyang can still continue to walk.

It was surprising that the spicy Ru Pingyang did not push Li Yanyi away as usual. Under everyone's gaze, she seems to have forgotten everything, and enjoys embracing her beloved with her eyes closed.

I don't know how long they hugged each other, Li Yanyi gradually calmed down, heard the conversation of the soldiers, and had to let go of Ru Pingyang in embarrassment, and said softly: "The matter is not over yet." ”

At this time, the four eyes met, and Li Yanyi realized that Ru Pingyang was also in tears. However, after listening to his words, Ru Pingyang still understood and smiled: "Yes, if we don't leave, we really won't be able to leave." ”

Li Yanyi also smiled, looking at Ru Pingyang, who was safe and sound, he only felt that he had never been so down-to-earth in his life.

According to Ru Pingyang's estimate, the fire in the long ditch burned for two hours at most, considering that the officers and troops did not actually suffer much losses, so since they had gained time, they had to withdraw before the officers and troops returned, otherwise, half a day's hard work and blood would be in vain.

Two hours, that's enough.

When the red-eyed Guo Qizhu came back again and drove straight into Yankou Town, all he saw was the empty town and the shadow of the lonely sailing ship far away on the river.
