Zhang Yanwu patted Lan Ziyi when he heard this, and said with a smile:

"Okay, you are Lan Ziyi, your skills are not as good as others, but your courage is much greater than others."

Lan Ziyi was patted by Zhang Yanwu, and after standing firm, he said to Zhang Yanwu with a smile:

"Zhang joins the army, you use so much strength to be careful that your arm is broken again!"

The surrounding soldiers were all frightened when they saw Lan Ziyi being shot and falling off the horse, and now they saw Lan Ziyi standing up from the ground safe and sound, and finally put the hanging heart back into their stomachs, and after hearing Lan Ziyi's words ridiculing Zhang Yanwu, the soldiers all laughed.

The heavy cavalry of the Royal Forest Army had dismounted and regrouped under Lan Ziyi's orders, and the demon thieves began to retreat deeper into the woods under the double blow of the failed surprise attack and the counterattack of the peach chasing tiger.

But the demon thief did not simply retreat, after the sergeants dismounted and shrank back, the horses on the periphery of the team were actually abandoned by the soldiers. While the demon thief was attacking just now, he had been busy fighting with the officers and soldiers for horses, and when he retreated, he took dozens of horses with his hands.

Sensing the ebb of the offensive around them, the officers and soldiers poked their heads out and saw the figure of the demon thief looming in the woods and gradually disappearing. The soldiers were angry after being attacked by someone just now, and now that the thieves have retreated, they have also taken the war horses, and the soldiers are not allowed to set fire to the forest. So one of them raised his arms and shouted that he would go into the forest to kill the thief, and the other soldiers all shouted in response.

But at this time, Lan Ziyi, who sat back on the horse, scolded sharply:

"Stand still and don't move! No one is allowed to go into the woods with the thieves without my orders! ”

The sergeant who took the lead just now and said that he was going to kill the thief had already taken steps, and after hearing Lan Ziyi's order, he stopped unwillingly, and his face burned red with anger. He turned around and asked Lan Ziyi:

"Why didn't Wei Hou let us go over and chase after us? The thieves have already retreated! ”

Lan Ziyi scolded:

"Just seeing the demon thief retreating, don't you have long eyes, see if there is a back hand behind the demon thief? The forest is so dense, who knows how many thieves are hidden behind it? What if you chase after it now and then get ambushed? ”

The sergeant did not relent, pointed to the forest and said anxiously:

"But the horse was taken away! My war horse is among them! The tall horses of the Royal Forest Army were all bought from the sea and the Hongmaoyi people, just a few horses, how could they be willing to let the demon thieves take them away and spoil them?! ”

Lan Ziyi was furious when he heard this, and scolded even more fiercely, he said:

"Just now, you were the ones who thought that the iron armor on your body was too heavy to stand up, and it was you who even crushed the horse with armor, and it was still you who said that the iron armor on the ship couldn't bend over. Now that a few horses have been taken away by the demon thief and are about to rush into the forest to use their lives to get through the trap of the demon thief, are you tired or not tired of wearing this armor?

Stand the for me to stand still, with or without horses, stand for me, and no one is allowed to chase and kill the thief! If the horse is gone, buy it again, and recruit it again when the people are gone, but if the morale of today's battle collapses, you and I can't pay for it. “

As soon as Lan Ziyi scolded, the sergeants who were still howling and wanted to pursue just now all stood back in disgrace. Zhang Yanwu, who was holding the horse and standing beside Lan Ziyi, waited for Lan Ziyi to finish scolding and asked:

"Wei Hou, you just got shot, don't you have a long memory, and now you still have to sit on the horse? And didn't you say you were going to get off the horse and save the horsepower? Why haven't you come down? ”

Lan Ziyi bowed his head and replied:

"A shot is a shot, a command is a command, how can I see the surrounding situation clearly if I don't get on the horse? As for the preservation of the horse's strength, now is not the time to do that. ”

Zhang Yanwu smiled and said:

"The demon thieves are newly defeated, and they can't form an army, and the demon thieves who ambushed us in the first round just now are obviously insufficient. Now that the demon thief can't attack it, he will flee again, and I think it is not impossible to pursue the past. ”

Lan Ziyi asked from a sergeant under the horse to put the helmet he had just fallen off and put it back on his head, and he looked at the swaying figure in the depths of the dense forest, his eyes narrowed.

Lan Ziyi raised the horsewhip in his hand and pointed to the forest, and said loudly:

"Big brother! Can you see the movement of the demon thief in the forest? ”

Tao Zhuhu, who was still submerged in the crowd of officials and soldiers just now, heard Lan Ziyi's order and immediately stepped on the horse, Tao Zhuhu put his hand on his eyebrows, stood up straight and looked at the forest, only to hear Tao Zhuhu say slowly:

"The forest was indeed retreating, and there was no sign of an ambush. But the retreat of the demon thieves is to cover each other, and the whole team is quite orderly, although the number is not large, but it cannot be underestimated. ”

Lan Ziyi nodded, and had already decided to lead the team out of the forest and no longer pursue the demon thieves in the forest. However, since Tao Zhuhu has been allowed to investigate, then simply investigate more things, so Lan Ziyi asked:

"Is there anything else the thief is doing?"

Tao Zhuhu squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and then he said:

"I see what seems to be a thief waving a flag in the woods."

Lan Ziyi was a little puzzled and asked:

"Waving a flag? What flags? Who's waving? Is it the new exiles or the elite under Lei Youde? ”

Tao Zhuhu put his hand in the distance and looked into the distance, and then said:

"I couldn't see the flag, but I could barely see the reflection of the armor on the person dancing the flag. The thieves who retreated into the forest seemed to have been summoned under the banner, all veterans in armor. ”

Lan Ziyi's brows furrowed even more when he heard this, his eyes rolled several times, and then ordered:

"All dismounted, led the horses to the east, and walked around to the back of the fighting line out of the forest! All soldiers should be vigilant, don't be ambushed again! ”

Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhuhu, who were only on the horse, all dismounted after Lan Ziyi said goodbye, and then the whole team led the war horse silently along the woods to the east and continued to advance.

Zhang Yanwu, who was walking next to Lan Ziyi, led the horse and walked forward with difficulty, and he asked Lan Ziyi:

"Why didn't Wei Hou rush into the forest with people and knock out the flag-waving thief? Wouldn't that break up the regrouped team of the thieves? ”

Lan Ziyi shook his head and said:

"If this were on flat ground, of course I would have led the soldiers to rush over, but in the forest we couldn't rush at all. Moreover, the demon thieves didn't just assemble there, and they must have accumulated a lot of strength over there, and they rashly attacked the enemy's strength with my shortness, for fear that they would suffer. ”

张遃武 says:

"Lei Youde is now assembled, and it is behind our army, this is not a small threat, is Wei Hou going to let Lei Youde accumulate strength in the forest?"

Lan Ziyi turned his head and looked at the open space outside the woods not far to the left, the official army had already backlogged the demon thieves to the west, and there were corpses of demon thieves all over the ground, but now the speed of the official army's advance was obviously much slower than when the demon thieves had just retreated. The official army was not pushed back by the demon thief, but the demon thief's retreat was not smooth, and he had been squeezed by the official army to the limit.

At this time, if the demon thief feels that there is no way to retreat, he will turn over and attack the official army, it will not be easy to bear, if Lei Youde inserts a knife from the side back woods at this time, the official army will be defeated today.

Lan Ziyi frowned and didn't speak, he led the horse and quickened the pace of the soles of his feet, and the other soldiers also followed silently.

Lan Ziyi led his sergeants to the west of the expected forest location, not far from their left was the infantry line of the officers and soldiers chasing and killing the demon thief, and some distance away from Lan Ziyi's right front, the circle formation that had just taken the first attack of the demon thief was being repaired in place. The pursuing soldiers slashed all the way and were already drenched in the blood of the demon thieves, but the demon thieves in front of them were still retreating, and the soldiers were still waving knives and guns to continue to kill.

Zhang Yanwu glanced at the front on the left and said:

"The array is already a little scattered, and although the soldiers are killing hard, the strength in their hands has obviously softened. If today's war cannot be resolved, the advantage is likely to be reversed. ”

Lan Ziyi led the horse and continued to move forward, he said:

"We don't have any advantage in the first place, but thanks to the Taiwei's good form, we can limit the numerical advantage of the demon thieves. If we want to win, we must completely break the military heart of the demon thief, so that the demon thief who is still fleeing completely loses his mind. ”

Zhang Yanwu snorted and said:

"Wei Hou said it very well, is it? But you're telling me how we can completely break the hearts of the demon thieves? ”

Lan Ziyi glanced back at the woods that he had just walked out of, and said to Zhang Yanwu:

"It won't be long before Lei Youde will send his military heart over, and it depends on whether we are tough enough."

Zhang Yanwu turned back with Lan Ziyi's eyes, he looked at it and said:

"Could it be that Wei Hou wants to ......?"

Lan Ziyi interrupted Zhang Yanwudao:

"I don't want to think about it, but will Lei Youde let us go easily? You also see the thieves gathered in the woods, Lei Youde will inevitably stab us from the side and back, and then it will be the final decisive moment of today's battle. ”

Zhang Yanwu retracted his eyes and looked at the infantry line that was still fighting on the side, and sighed:

"If the demon thieves really come out of the woods, the left flank of our infantry will bear the brunt of it, and now the soldiers are like this, I am afraid that they will collapse by then."

Lan Ziyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said:

"In that case, then we won't let him collapse."

Hearing this, Zhang Yanwu turned his head and glanced at Lan Ziyi, and after thinking about it, he said:

"You're going to line up right behind the infantry?"

Lan Ziyi nodded in response:

"Exactly!"

Then Lan Ziyi pointed to the middle of the entire front and said:

"We led the horses over, and they lined up behind the infantry there, and the thieves dared to come out of the woods to attack the left flank of our army, then we will rush back to the front, and I will scare Lei Youde back into the woods!"

Zhang Yanwu smiled when he heard this:

"If Lei Youde is really as wise and martial as you say, I think you will capsize the boat with such an arrangement today."

Lan Ziyi laughed twice and responded:

"If it does, that's something to be done, and I have a few other things to do right now."
