The iron hooves of the three war horses flew over, and sand and dust were raised on the loess road.

One of them led the way, keeping his eyes fixed on the road ahead, always checking for various obstacles such as tripping horses, while the two people behind him drew their bows and shot backwards.

The enemy's horses were not as fast as theirs, and gradually widened the distance, until finally the pursuers gave up the pursuit, and the three scouts marched away.

Feng Feima, Zhao Feixiao, and Li Feiyu, the three elite scouts, evaded interception again and again, and the three of them were slightly injured.

Due to the speed of the horse, he set off in the early morning, and arrived at the Mache River in the afternoon of the same day, at this time Tang Yuan was lying on the ground, arguing with Nalan Xin. scolded Nalan Xin for being a dog-headed military advisor, blindly commanding, and tricking Captain Bendu into coming here to suffer alive.

Nalan Xin was also not polite, and sneered at each other: If you didn't want to fight this ambush in your heart, you would have withdrawn a long time ago. Who are the two of us who let whom suffer, don't you count it yourself?

At this time, the three scouts ran over, exhausted.

Feng Feima first told him about the situation of the first battle in the Bohai Sea, and then explained the order given by Tang Qi.

Tang Yuan, Zhang Nu, Nalan Xin and others listened carefully.

In the end, Feng Feima said: "The general told you to stop Du Shunnan, and you must not let them go." ”

Tang Yuan pouted his teeth and said in embarrassment: "Isn't this letting the eldest girl give birth?" How can we stop a thousand cavalry with only these five or six hundred people? Besides, there are 800 infantry behind. ”

"According to estimates, there are not so many, and after the post-war statistics, it is estimated that they can now have 850 cavalry, which is very good. In addition, there were quite a few wounded among them. "Zhao Feixiao knows the enemy situation better.

"Oh..."Tang Yuan nodded, but his expression was still bitter.

Zhang Nu patted Tang Yuan's shoulder and said, "No matter what, the general's order must be carried out." Besides, the general only let us hold off the enemy army, but did not let us destroy the enemy army. Since the order was given like this, they must have come soon. How about it, if you don't dare to fight, I, Zhang Nu, am willing to lead the troops against the enemy. ”

Zhang Nu's words, Tang Yuan was not very comfortable listening to them, this radical method was too blunt.

The old thing is still smiling, it's really a hidden knife.

Tang Yuan stood up suddenly and said, "Hey, with me, there is no need for the old general to take risks." ”

Tang Yuan took out the style of the first official and pressed Zhang Nu.

Zhang Nu saw Tang Yuan's thoughts and laughed.

Tang Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart, stood on the top of the mountain, and looked at the Mache River.

"If it's a delaying war, we have to change the tactics. You can't just stand in this place and ambush it. Even if we had eliminated more than 100 of them, and the large army had rushed through, then our mission would have failed. ”

"These days, I've got a good idea of this place, and it's two arrows downstream, and the river is the shallowest and can be easily crossed on horseback, and the bottom of the river is full of pebbles, and it won't sink when you step into it."

"I've decided, stretch our defenses. In addition, there are more barricades. Tang Hu, you take people to cut down trees, the more you cut, the better, and transport them to the middle of the road to block them. ”

"Chen Bao, you come with me, our cavalry will cross the river and harass the enemy along the road, and on the other side of the river, we must also set up roadblocks so that they can be blocked a few more times."

After Tang Yuan said these words, he began to discuss the details with everyone.

Zhang Nu said that he personally led the infantry, set up a three-way barricade defense line, and shot arrows when the distance was long.

Tang Yuan said: "That's definitely not good, the enemy army has a lot of cavalry, and most of them are heavy cavalry." When you shoot arrows, you won't hurt many enemies, but you will be easily killed. ”

Zhang Nu said: "I observed that on the other side of the river, there was a dense forest, and when the enemy rushed over, we broke into the dense forest. We brought more ropes over, because there were many trees, tripwires could be set up everywhere in the forest, and people could also be hidden in the trees, and when the time came, our archers, in all directions, would not dare to break in. And now that they are on their way to withdraw, they must be in a hurry to pass through here quickly, so they will not entangle with us. In fact, your 200 cavalry is the same, harassing many times, shooting arrows from a distance. You don't have to fight with them. ”

"Then you still need to say it?" Tang Yuan smiled: "I don't like the way to play directly as soon as my brain is hot, it is too much damage, and it is not a good general." ”

Tang Yuan bragged, and everyone laughed at him, and then everyone dispersed.

At the beginning, Tang Yuan's idea was rearranged after several changes.

Tang Hu didn't have a task, so he followed behind Tang Yuan, Chen Bao took a hundred cavalry, crossed the river, and ran south, the infantry and cavalry cooperated, cut down big trees, and threw them on the road.

I was busy for a while before I was free. Zhang Nu personally led a hundred infantry across the river, fifty people hid in the dense forest, and fifty people hid behind barricades.

There was also a team of 100 men, hidden in another wood. That team was completely composed of strong men, and the leader was a centurion temporarily appointed by Tang Yuan. The man was very prestigious among the strong men, and he was also very brave in battle.

Zhang Nu arranged it and hid behind the first roadblock. At this time, there were two roadblocks behind him, and the distance between each of them happened to be slightly shorter than a stone's throw away. This way, when the enemy starts destroying the barricades, they can deliver a second strike.

——

Natanhun rode on his horse, his face solemn, thinking about something all the way.

Urging the horse to come to Du Shunnan's side, several members of the general guard got out of the way, he didn't speak directly, but waved his hand at Du Shunnan, signaling to go to the side and say.

Du Shunnan did not go to the side, but signaled the servants to slow down and stay back.

Natanhun said: "The last general is willing to be the queen of the general's palace." ”

"Oh?" Du Shunnan was happy at first, and then frowned: "We don't have many soldiers, and the food is almost exhausted. ”

Natanhun said: "What I think about Natanhun is only the male Jia Guo." I am willing to sacrifice myself in order for you and all the cavalry to safely withdraw to Pyeongchang. ”

Du Shunnan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Very good, General Natan's words and deeds, I will record them word for word in the military merits, and I will personally present them to Wanyan Da Trout, and when the time comes, even if you die in battle, your parents and wives will also receive the highest glory and rich rewards." Your sons and daughters, I will take care of them for you. ”

Natanhun smiled bitterly and said, "Then it's hard general." ”

Natan Hun was just about to leave, Du Shunnan suddenly shouted: "Li Huai, Qin Feng, you two stay with General Natan, remember, you must take care of General Natan, if you really can't stand it, the three of you can withdraw." ”

"Yes!"

Du Shunnan didn't trust Natanhun, in fact, when they first set off, there was already a big disagreement between them.

But at that time, Natanhun did not insist on his opinion.

Now Natanhun suddenly asked for the queen of the palace, this kind of behavior is no different from looking for death in Du Shunnan's eyes.

That's why he left Li Huai and Qin Feng's two cronies behind, and secretly told them that if Natanhun was cheating, he could kill Natanhun and take away his military power. As for the big handsome, I'll explain.
