Holding on the edge of the table covered with the battle map with both hands, listening to the marching staff analyzing the news that the waiters had just reported, Qiu Xin suddenly found that his brain was a little unable to turn, but there was one thing he reacted to at the first time, and he did it as soon as possible, that is, he sent a messenger to rush to Yaguan for help, he knew very well that if Hu Meng really invaded the south on a large scale, then no matter how high and thick the wall of Xie Ma Town was, only 2,000 soldiers and horses would never be able to stop the rolling torrent of Hu Meng's iron cavalry, and at the same time go out of the city scouts to search for the enemy's traces, Monitor the situation of the enemy, and report back at any time if you find it.

He waved his hand at Liu Zhilan, the marching staff officer who was still concentrating on his report, and interrupted: "Are these all accurate information reported by the scouts ahead?" ”

"Camp Marshal, at present, except for the scouts of Shui, Tian, and Huang Sanshi (1), there is no news from the other scouts." Liu Zhilan paused and saw that Qiu Xin did not answer, so he knew that he was signaling himself to continue, so he continued: "Huozi Shi reported, they went west for ten miles, and there was no trace of the enemy; They went fifteen miles eastward, but they did not see any trace of the enemy, and the Xuanzi Shi ......"

"Call me back those stupid pigs to the south, did the scouts of the three teams of water, sky, and yellow go in the three directions of due north, northwest, and northeast?" Qiu Xin interrupted Liu Zhilan's report again, and there was a faint anger in his heart, there had been no war for a long time, and the army was gradually mixed, and all the children of powerful people came to mingle, seeking a career in the army, and then transferred back to the capital, and turned into a famous general of the military defense division with great achievements.

"Going to the south to find the Humeng barbarians, this is simply the biggest joke from ancient times to the present." Qiu thought with disdain.

It is no wonder that Qiu Xin thinks so, since ancient times, the frontier of the country has been the fastest and simplest place for men to make achievements, and the struggles and frictions between countries are often accompanied by the termination of the lives of hundreds or even tens of thousands of people, and at the same time, they are also accompanied by a plate of military achievements, which are presented in front of the emperor in the cheers of the people of Beijing.

Since the eighteenth year of Emperor Jingyu of Yanjing, Hu Meng was completely defeated by the 400,000 Yanyun iron cavalry led by Jingu Feng, and the people fled to the Broken Sky Stream to survive, and there was no major war in the northern territory of the empire, but occasionally a small group of Hu Meng soldiers crossed the Broken Sky Stream to fight the autumn wind, and every time they heard the Great Yan army, they all fled from the wind, not to mention the initiative to provoke and attack the imperial army, so in the past few decades, there have been no big victories in the northern frontier, and small victories are frequent, and over time, the powerful people in the DPRK and China have gradually remembered this low-risk and high-return golden area in their hearts. If it weren't for the fact that the old handsome Yan Hu stepped forward at the critical moment and resolutely disagreed to replace the middle and high-level generals of the legion, otherwise the prestige of the Sixth Legion would probably be replaced by those powerful and related households.

"Battalion commander, the major general is in the water," a lieutenant general reminded.

The teacup in Qiu Xin's hand finally seized the moment when he was stunned, burst out of his tragedy, and then Qiu Xin's roar: "What are you all doing to eat, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"Zhu Ziming listened to the order, led two hundred elite light cavalry, and immediately went north to find the major general."

"The last general commanded" Zhu Ziming was the deputy general who reminded him just now, it was Qiu Xin's subordinate Zuo Wei Qian, Zhu Ziming took the order and turned away, and when he was about to leave the palace hall, Qiu Xin still couldn't help but add:

"At least you have to see people in life, and you have to see you in death...... No, it must be... Be sure to bring the Major General back safely. ”

The last sentence is not so much an order to Zhu Ziming, but rather Qiu Xin's self-comfort.

Zhu Ziming also understood that if the young general really had three longs and two shorts, he would not come back, thinking of this, Zhu Ziming turned around and solemnly hugged his fist to Qiu Xin, turned around and left.

Qiu Xin knew that Zhu Ziming was going away with a will to die, and he was reluctant to give up on his old subordinate, but he had to let him jump into this fire pit, after all, Shui Zishi was a scout team under Zuo Wei.

"General's Order"

With Qiu Xin's general order, all the remaining generals suddenly stood up solemnly, waiting for the battalion commander's upcoming military order like an iron pillar.

"Right Wei Qianzong Liu Debiao"

"The last general!" I saw a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist stepped out of the first position under Qiu Xin's right hand seat, walked to the middle of the hall, and replied with his hands in fists, his voice was as loud as a bell.

"Order you to lead two hundred elite light cavalry out of the city to patrol, if you encounter the enemy, you can fight, you can't fight, you must not be reckless, if you find a large number of enemy troops, report immediately."

"Commanded"

"Go ahead, remember that your mission this time is to explore the enemy's reality and reality, and you must not fall in love with war."

Seeing Liu Debiao taking the order, Qiu Xin then issued his second general order:

"The rest of the generals will listen to the order, immediately block the city gate, no more entry and exit, all departments return to their posts, and the affairs of the left and right thousand guards will be temporarily in charge of the deputy thousand generals, and prepare for defense."

"The last general commands!" The rest of the people were like a bell, the general was inevitably killed, and the troops who were placed at the forefront of the battle, in fact, everyone was ready to die at any time, so when this moment seemed to be coming, great courage rose in his heart.

As the two teams of men and horses came out one after another, the strong gate of Xiema Town slowly isolated the north wind from the hustle and bustle of the city, and in a poplar forest thirty miles away, two teams of men and horses were fighting each other, and one by one the fresh lives dissipated in the hoarse sword and sword shadow.

Anyone who meets here can easily see from the clothes of both sides that these two teams are fighting Humeng cavalry and Yanyun cavalry.

A knife split the Humont saber that slashed at him, his left foot was forceful, sideways like a running bull, hit it with his shoulder, and took advantage of the panic when the enemy staggered back, turned around and chopped it under the knife, and the momentum of sending and receiving was done in one go!

Yan Wuji shook off the blood trail hidden on the curly blade, looked up, and found that the battle had come to an end, and his own side had ten people against the enemy twenty, and in front of him, he besieged the only one of the opponents with five of his own people, which fully proved that his decision at that time was correct.

Yan Wuji's scout camp Shui Zishi received the order to go out of the north of the city, as the chief Yan Wuji knew that the Hu Meng south, is from the Jing Emperor Jingyu 18 years to the past 80 years of the south invasion again, even if Hu Meng was almost wiped out by the Great Yan, but after nearly a hundred years of recuperation, and even in the three years of Yan Zhiping, Hu Meng took advantage of the great civil strife in the Great Yan when the vitality was greatly injured, the Ju clan crossed the broken sky stream, recaptured Hu Meng's hometown, and obtained the vast and fertile natural pasture, which accelerated Hu Meng's recovery, it can be said that in the past 100 years, Hu Meng has been latent and cultivated, and his strength has returned to the peak of the year, and even surpassed, under such a premise, Hu Meng's southward movement without warning this time must be more than just fighting the autumn wind.

For those powerful sons who heard that it might be Hu Meng's big move south to fight against the two forces, Yan Wuji could not stop them from taking refuge in the south, which made him feel deeply humiliated, and he was also deeply worried about the current combat strength of the Yan army, he didn't know if the imperial army under the invasion of corruption could withstand the storm that was about to pour down.

Therefore, Yan Wuji could only do his best to increase the almost negligible chance of winning for his side.

"Whew..."With a sigh of relief, Yan Wuji didn't dare to think about it anymore, and saw that the last Humeng cavalry had been subdued by his subordinates, strode up and picked up the prisoners who were tied up like zongzi, turned over and rode on:

"Take all the brothers with us, two of them on a ride, we can't leave any of the brothers behind until we have to."

Quickly helped the wounded onto their horses, and the two soldiers were already lifeless, and the corpses were fixed on the horses by the living cavalry, and followed Yan Wuji south.

Not long after Yan Wuji and the others left, a group of hundreds of Humeng cavalry entered the poplar forest where the fierce battle had just begun, and the leader looked around with expressionless faces at several subordinates who were busy inspecting the battlefield, and the tall hooked nose set off the already conspicuous nasolabial folds deeper, and the bulging masseter muscles on the cheeks showed that this person was trying his best to suppress his anger.

"Chief, I didn't find Lord Zadu."

"Zadu, this bastard thing", slammed the dry water bag in his hand off the horse, licked his lips that had cracked, and gritted his teeth:

"It doesn't matter what price he pays for his arrogance by giving up our advantage on horseback and foolishly choosing to fight the enemy in close quarters, but if something bad happens for this, even if he dies a hundred times, it will be difficult to atone for his sins."

Uncovering the water bladder handed by his subordinates, he poured it on himself like a bloodthirsty hungry wolf drinking the blood of his prey, and the coolness of the water permeated the cracked riverbed, temporarily calming the restless explosive elements in Batogunayan's body.

It's okay if Zaduna's bastard is dead, but if he doesn't die, he can't be sure what means Yan Jun will use to extract a confession, Bato is not sure that he will not bow his head in the face of torture, if he leaks the leader's plan because of this, his entire clan will suffer, thinking of this, he turned his heart sideways, and drove his horse forward and shouted loudly:

"Keep chasing!"
