The 10,000 Guiyi army sailed along the waterway for more than ten days, and finally arrived at Yixian, the base camp of the imperial army's crusade against the southwest rebellion.

The original Yixian County, the river extends in all directions, and there is an endless stream of merchants. And now, in Mo Feng's eyes, it is a ruined city that has experienced the war.

On the city wall, there are still uncleaned arrows and blood stains, and the fierceness of the battle can be imagined.

After the Guiyi army found a vacant place outside the city and camped, Zhao Wutang took Mo Feng and a few of his own soldiers into the city to meet the general Wei Kai.

Walking into the city, looking at the dilapidated and depressed streets, scattered people, and soldiers patrolling back and forth with halberds, Mo Feng couldn't help but shake his head, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There are eggs under the nest.

The county government of Yixian County has now been requisitioned as a general. A few ironclad soldiers stood with halberds in front of the Xingyuan Gate, and they were the only bright spots in this dilapidated city.

Zhao Wutang walked up, clasped his fists at the guards at the door and said, "General Fenwei Zhao Wutang has been ordered to lead the army to arrive, and I am here to report to the general. ”

As soon as the guard at the door heard that reinforcements were coming, one of the soldiers said "wait a minute" and ran in.

Soon, with hearty laughter, a bearded man walked out.

Seeing the bearded man, Zhao Wutang wanted to salute, but was stopped by him.

"Brother Zhao, I said not to be like this. If it weren't for your promotion back then, I Wei Kai wouldn't be where I am today, and if I want to salute, I will salute you. Wei Kai held Zhao Wutang's hand and said quite kindly.

"Let him pass the past. Now you are a general, I am just a general of Fenwei, according to military regulations, of course, subordinates salute their superiors. ”

"You!" Seeing that Zhao Wutang was so stubborn, Wei Kai did not continue to dissuade him, "Since this is the case, let me in!" ”

"No!" With that, he walked in with Mo Feng, and the other guards were left outside by him to wait for them to come out.

While walking, Wei Kai said to Zhao Wutang: "Yixian has just been pacified, if you want to advance further, with my current strength, I am a little stretched, but I have no troops to adjust in other places in Yizhou."

As soon as I learned that the war in Hanzhong was over, I asked Your Majesty to urgently transfer you from Hanzhong for 300 miles. I believe that after the war, Hanzhong will be able to deploy the troops of King Chengyang and Wuye, so ah, I will transfer you brother over to help me. ”

Hearing Wei Kai elevate himself like this, even if Zhao Wutang had been fighting for many years, this old face couldn't help but turn red, and said, "The general has been raised!" Fighting for the country is the duty of our generals. What is the battle on the front line, I have to explain it to the general for me! ”

"There's no hurry about this, I'll follow me to the inner hall to see the map later, and I'll tell you slowly. You might as well introduce this heroic little brother behind you. ”

Wei Kai looked at Mo Feng, who was following Zhao Wutang, and sighed in his heart: I originally thought that there were few beautiful men like Bai Wuye in the world, but I had never seen another one today.

Zhao Wutang glanced at Mo Feng, Mo Feng immediately understood, and then said: "The last general, Mo Feng, is the captain of the military academy under General Zhao!" ”

"Captain Zan Cadet? What an official position! Wei Kai asked suspiciously.

Seeing Wei Kai like this, Zhao Wutang told him Mo Feng's identity and what happened in Yangping Pass.

After listening to Zhao Wutang's words, Wei Kai hammered his hand excitedly and said, "Hey, it turns out to be the son of the Ink Thorn History!" I heard that the son of the Ink Thorn was a coward before, but when I look at it today, sure enough, the previous ones were all hearsay! Brother Zhao, you dug up a treasure from Wuye! ”

"Alas, don't praise him so much, young people don't praise him!" Zhao Wutang said with a smile.

Hearing Zhao Wutang say this, Mo Feng also said: "Thank you for the general's praise!" Mo Feng didn't dare to be! ”

Well! He is not arrogant, modest and not complacent, he is really a young talent! Wei Kai made a conclusion about Mo Feng in his heart.

Before they knew it, they were already in front of the map.

Pointing to the map, Wei Kai said slowly: "The rebels are now mainly entrenched in the three counties of Yuewang County, Qike County, and Yizhou County, with Meng Bao, the barbarian king of Yizhou County, the strongest in Yizhou County, followed by the Gaomai and Kaohsiung brothers in Yuewang County, and the weakest in Yongya County. I intend that the troops will be divided into two routes, with the East Route Army as the main force, storming Yuewang County and attracting Meng Bao to rescue; The Western Route Army was a partial division and advanced towards the county of Qike. After the Eastern Route Army captured Yuewang County, it divided its troops, selected a partial division to pass through Zhuti County, joined the troops of Zhuti County, captured Yizhou County, Mengbao's old nest, and then encircled and annihilated Mengbao's main force.

Originally, my 30,000 troops were enough, but this time the clans in the deep mountains were also encouraged by them to garrison Yixian, resulting in the loss of 5,000 soldiers and horses when our army captured Yixian. Therefore, he had no choice but to transfer Brother Zhao's Guiyi Army to come. ”

Zhao Wutang nodded: "What does the general need me to do in the righteous army, do you want to be a teacher?" ”

"Definitely!" Wei Kai shook his head and said, "There are only more than a thousand rebels in Qike County, and my lieutenant general will bring three thousand people to clean them up." Brother Zhao's 10,000 Guiyi Army is the vanguard of the Eastern Route Army and leads our army! ”

"No! The last general commands! "After taking this task, Zhao Wutang is very happy, although the vanguard task is dangerous and heavy, but he returned to the righteous army from Youzhou all the way to Hanzhong, and the number of times he fought with the orcs is unknown, just a rebel, he Zhao Wutang has not taken it seriously.

"Okay, then the Guiyi Army will take a little rest in Yixian County, and in two days, as soon as the grain and grass arrive, they will enter Yuewang County!"

As soon as the order was given, Zhao Wutang took the token and went back to arrange it.

Two days later, the grain and grass arrived on time from the waterway, and after receiving the grain and grass, Zhao Wutang bid farewell to the general Wei Kai and led the Guiyi Army to set off as the vanguard.

Soon after the departure of the Guiyi Army, the rebels entrenched in Qiongdu, the administrative seat of Yuewang County, also received news from the spies that the vanguard of the Celestial Star Empire had set out.

Looking at the news sent by the spies, the brothers Gao Mai and Kaohsiung showed a hideous smile.

"Big brother, this group of clansmen is really useless, they were defeated by the group of wine bags and rice bags of the Heavenly Star Empire in three or two clicks, and they even lost Yixian. It's fucking infuriating! Gao Mai was very annoyed, originally thinking that the clansmen they had invited from the deep mountains at a great cost would be able to stop the imperial army in Yixian, but unfortunately it was against people's wishes.

"Maddy, don't say that. Anyway, they also consumed thousands of Wei Kai's reckless men. It's just that the reckless man actually moved in reinforcements, and he really didn't have the guts. Kaohsiung comforted him.

Hearing this, Gao Mai showed a grim smile, and then pointed to the map: "Judging from the news of the spies, the reinforcements have been appointed by the reckless man as the vanguard to call us. Big brother, look here, the geese return to the forest. Calculating the time, they should also arrive at the wild goose return forest in two days. Hehe, this is the only way to come to Qiongdu, the trees are high and dense, and it is easy to ambush, if they are ambushed here, they will definitely have no way back. ”

"That's a good idea! Brother, you will take 5,000 brothers to ambush, and here I await your good news. ”

"Command!" After receiving Kaohsiung's order, Gao Mai took 5,000 soldiers to Yanguilin to ambush.

In three days, the Guiyi army marched forward with great triumph, and everywhere they went, they did not encounter any resistance, and they arrived outside the Yangui Forest very smoothly.

Looking at this tall and dense forest, Mo Feng always had an ominous feeling in his heart.

"Uncle Zhao, I don't think something is right here, it's better for us to send scouts in to investigate."

"No, the scouts just returned, everything is normal, we are still marching normally. They didn't encounter any enemy troops along the way, they were afraid of us, and they were ready to fight in the city of Qiongdu. Zhao Wutang touched his beard and made a decision.

"Uncle Zhao, let's let Captain Li send a scout to take a look!"

"Feng'er, I said I didn't need to. I have already received a message from the general, and the letter makes it very clear that the 20,000 rebels of the Gao brothers are entrenched in Qiongdu, and there will be no ambush soldiers in these two places. Zhao Wutang said in a somewhat scolding tone.

"No!" Seeing Zhao Wutang insisting like this, Mo Feng couldn't refute it anymore.

One by one, the Guiyi army entered the forest, and when the front battalion was about to enter the forest, a large flock of birds suddenly flew out.

Seeing those flying birds, Mo Feng knew that there must be ambushes in this forest, and shouted: "It's not good, there is an ambush!" ”

It's just that he said it too late, and the rain of arrows under the black pressure has already been shooting at them in patches, and there is a scream from Lu Ding's vanguard army.

Seeing this, Mo Feng ignored Luo Shixin's obstruction, and rode towards the forest, shouting as he ran: "Raise the shield, raise the shield!" Raise your shield! ”

But in the panicked army, only a few people could hear Mo Feng's voice and do it. Seeing that the soldiers didn't listen to what he said, Mo Feng simply turned his horse's head and shouted, "Run!" ”

People are like this, even in the most dangerous moments, they still pay more attention to the voice they are interested in.

The sound of "running" was heard much more clearly by the soldiers than "raising their shields". So, the soldiers ran out of the forest in a panic.

After a while, all the rebels withdrew from the forest.

Seeing that the Guiyi army had left only one corpse and fled in a hurry, the rebels hiding in the forest burst into laughter. An adjutant general asked Gao Mai, who was laughing: "General, these dog-day Celestial Star Dogs have suffered heavy losses, should we chase them out and beat the water dogs." ”

"No, we were originally using this forest to fight a surprise attack, and going out was not good for us. Heralds, brethren, let's go back! Gao Mai smiled.

"Huh? Go back, we're no more ambushes! The adjutant asked, puzzled.

"Jump", Gao Mai kicked on the adjutant general's buttocks, and scolded angrily: "You are stupid, Lao Tzu said that what we fought was a surprise attack, this time it worked, and the second time it didn't work." You grew up eating fucking pig food, you don't have a brain! ”

After being kicked by his own general, the adjutant general, even though his buttocks hurt, still licked his face and said with a smile: "Oh! Oh! The last general knows, the general is wise, and I will give the order to withdraw the army. ”

On the side of the Guiyi Army, because the Chinese army and the rear battalion had not yet entered the forest, they raised their shields to block arrows outside the forest in time, so although there were losses, they were not big. It's just that the forward battalion all went into the forest, and the losses were very heavy.

After the Angelica rebels retreated to a safe place and made sure that there were no pursuing soldiers, Mo Feng immediately ordered the soldiers to count the number of soldiers while bandaging their wounds.

When the number of people was counted, Mo Feng was stunned, and the Chinese army and the rear battalion lost 23 and 25 people respectively. It's just that the losses of the forward are huge, almost all the troops are annihilated, and even the commander of the forward battalion, Lu Ding, was killed in battle. Not counting the wounded, more than 2,300 people were killed in battle alone.

After hearing the casualty figures, Zhao Wutang immediately fainted and died. Mo Feng and a few guards could only hurriedly carry Zhao Wutang to the military doctor for treatment.

Seeing the wounded soldiers wailing in pain, Zhao Wutang fainted to death, Mo Feng instantly felt a little powerless, he called the herald and ordered the Guiyi army to camp on the spot and wait for the main army.
