"Surrender and you will die!"

"Delusional!"

During the fight with the sword in his hand, Meng Zhong shouted at Bai Qi, but he was scolded by Bai Qi.

I have to say that this is because Meng Zhong didn't know the details of Bai Qi and the others, thinking that the other party was just an ordinary Qin State spy, how did he know that what he caught was a big fish who was the commander of the Qin army.

And although Bai Qi immediately opened his mouth to stop, it could not be denied that the more he fought, the more frightened he became.

He originally thought that the other party's age was not as good as his own, and his martial arts should not be as good as his own, but he didn't expect that the commander of the Wei army on the other side was quite proficient in martial arts, and more importantly, the other party's swordsmanship did not seem to be able to be practiced simply by practicing swordsmanship on weekdays, but it seemed to be practiced by fighting with others, which made two Qin soldiers want to sneak attack Meng Zhong from behind to relieve the siege for Bai Qi, but instead they were cut off by Meng Zhong's backhand sword, and then killed by another sword.

"Are the young generals of Wei so brave?"

The more Bai Qi fought, the more frightened he became.

"Bell!"

With a crisp sound, the sharp sword in Meng Zhong's hand that stabbed Bai Qi's throat was blocked by the latter with a sword, but even so, the blade of the sword in Meng Zhong's hand still cut Bai Qi's neck, making the latter feel palpitations for a while.

"Good chance!"

Seeing this, Bai Qi was overjoyed, and immediately raised his sword to stab Meng Zhong's chest, but he didn't expect that Meng Zhong had no panic on his face, and the whole person twisted sideways, so he easily avoided Bai Qi's sharp sword, and even shaved off a few strands of white hair with his backhand.

"It's ...... It's simply impeccable.'"

Bai Qi's face finally showed a shocked expression, he couldn't imagine that the young commander of the Wei army in front of him was so brave - from the appearance and appearance of the other party, it was simply impossible to see it.

But it is true that Meng Zhong has studied art under Zhuangzi for nearly ten years, in addition to learning Taoist thought, he naturally also learned Zhuangzi's method of self-cultivation, so that when he takes off his armor and puts on a robe, some people may think that he is just a weak Confucian who has no power to restrain the chicken, but don't forget, Meng Zhong is a warrior who fought his way out of the siege from the Dune Palace after all, and his hands are also stained with the blood of countless enemy soldiers.

"Be careful! Give me...... I don't care about you! ”

With a heavy drink, Xiang Shou appeared beside Bai Qi in time, blocked Meng Zhong's sword for Bai Qi, and immediately protected Bai Qi to retreat.

This young man named Bai Qi, who was entrusted to him by the Marquis Wei Ran, was the leader of the descendants of the Chu people surnamed Qi in the Qin State, how could Xiang Shou allow someone to kill this young man in front of him.

But......

"These Wei pawns are really fierce."

Protecting Bai Qi behind him, Xiang Shou glanced around in horror.

At first, there were more than 20 people on both sides of each other, and even the number of people on Bai Qi Xiangshou's side was one or two more than the other party, but in the blink of an eye, four or five people were killed on their side, while only two people were wounded on the other side.

It's simply ...... It's incredible!

"Could it be that the other party is all Wei Wushu?!"

Xiang Shou thought in horror.

However, in fact, there were only a few Wei soldiers on Meng Zhong's side, that is, two or three soldiers each brought by Wei Xu and Yu Ying, and the rest except for Meng Sui, Le Yi, Wu Ying, Le Jin, and Meng Ao, there were only a dozen Song soldiers under the leadership of Rong Yan.

But don't forget, Meng Sui, Le Yi, Wu Ying, Le Jin and others were also the companions who followed Meng Zhong to fight their way out of the siege in the Zhao State Dune Palace Rebellion, even if the force was not as good as a Wei Wu pawn, but it was not far behind, as for Rong Yi and the dozen or so Song soldiers under his leadership, it was the elite sent by Dai Wu, the crown prince of the Song State to protect Meng Zhong, and it was also stronger than ordinary soldiers.

As for Wei Xu and Yu Ying, not to mention, both of them turned out to be brigade commanders in the establishment of Wei Wushu, to put it bluntly, they are warriors who specialize in charging into battle, where can ordinary soldiers parry.

No, as soon as the fight started, Wei Xu was very powerful, lightly injured two people, seriously injured one person, and directly killed two Qin pawns, as if it was an invincible existence, and although Yu Ying was not as brave as Wei Xu, he also restrained three Qin pawns by himself, and injured two of them in a short period of time, and he was unharmed.

The records of these two people cannot be compared even with Meng Zhong and others.

If you want to say that Meng Zhong is the only one who is weak, it is only Meng Zhong's clan brother Meng Ao, this clan brother who is a few years younger than Meng Zhong has encountered this kind of fierce fight for the first time, his face is full of horror and helplessness, if it weren't for Meng Sui and the two Song soldiers who protect Meng Ao all the time, I am afraid that Meng Ao has been killed by the Qin soldiers on the opposite side at this moment.

But even with this little burden, Meng Zhong and his party still gained the upper hand in a short period of time, so that Bai Qi and Xiang Shou became more and more frightened the more they fought.

"There are 300,000 Wei and Han allied troops in this place, if we alarm the Wei and Han soldiers in this vicinity, then we will definitely die! …… Don't fall in love, retreat quickly! ”

Grabbed Bai Qi's arm and whispered to Shou.

Bai Qi is not a high-spirited person, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded and motioned for everyone to break through.

Thinking about it, there is obviously a numerical advantage of two or three people, but they are suppressed by the other party, not to mention that there are nearly 300,000 accomplices of the other party in this area, how can Bai Qi joke with the lives of himself and others?

"Want to go? Let's stay! ”

Seeing that Bai Qi and the others seemed to want to retreat, Meng Zhong and Wu Ying, Le Jin, Wei Xu, and Yu Ying struggled forward, trying to hold each other back.

Seeing this, five or six Qin soldiers volunteered to stay behind the palace to resist Meng Zhong and the others.

In fact, it was not voluntary, but the military discipline of the Qin army had relevant regulations, that is, if the main general died in battle, even if his guards and subordinates escaped by chance, they would also suffer severe punishment when they returned to the army - the punishment depended on the number of enemies killed.

However, if this rule is placed on Bai Qi, the commander of the Qin army, if he unfortunately dies here, I am afraid that all the Qin soldiers here will be executed, and probably only Xiang Shou can avoid punishment - if he can return to the army alive.

Because of this provision, when Meng Zhong and his party were holding on to it, the five or six Qin soldiers volunteered to stay behind in order to help Bai Qi escape.

As for their fate, it is naturally not difficult to guess that they were besieged to death by Meng Zhong and his party after just a dozen breaths.

"Chase!"

Shaking off the blood on the sword in his hand, Meng Zhong looked at the fleeing backs of Bai Qi, Xiang Shou and the others with a solemn expression, and ordered in a deep voice.

At this time, he has gradually realized that the other party may not be as simple as "meticulous work".

If ordinary meticulous works are intercepted and killed to that extent by Fang Cai, most of them will run in all directions, and how many can escape are counted, after all, these meticulous works have a heavy responsibility to send the collected information back to the barracks.

But what about those Qin army spies?

What does it mean that they put up a desperate resistance, risking their lives to protect a young-looking team leader? This means that the other party is not an ordinary Qin army spy at all, but a regular soldier of the Qin army!

The regular sergeants of the Qin army personally ran to the side of Yique Mountain to spy on the enemy camp, which showed that the team leader who looked quite young was definitely the general level of the Qin army.

『…… It's probably a Qin general at the level of a military horse!'

Meng Zhong secretly guessed.

I have to say that Meng Zhong still underestimated Bai Qi's position in the Qin army, but this did not prevent him from taking Meng Sui, Le Yi, Le Jin, Wei Xu, Yu Ying and others to chase and kill Bai Qi and others all the way.

"Let's go! Fast! ”

"Chase! Catch up! ”

A group of people fled, a group of people chased, and the two sides launched a pursuit battle on Mount Yique.

During this period, in order to delay the pursuit of Meng Zhong and others, one after another Qin soldiers spontaneously left behind the broken queen, but even so, Bai Qi still could not completely get rid of the pursuit of Meng Zhong and his party.

After escaping for half a moment, Bai Qi, Xiang Shou, and the rest of the nearly ten Qin soldiers finally fled to the bottom of the mountain, and they were anxious to find the raft and boat in the reeds on the bank of the Yishui River.

"Found it! Over here! ”

A Qin pawn shouted with joy.

"Okay, get on it!"

Glancing behind him, he saw that Meng Zhong and his party had also chased to the bottom of the mountain, and Xiang Shou immediately pulled Bai Qi and fled to a small boat.

"They're going to run!"

"Don't let them run!"

Glimpsing Bai Qi and the others trying to escape to the other side of Yishui in a small boat from a distance, Meng Zhong and his party accelerated their pursuit and caught up with a sword in hand.

Seeing this, Xiang Shou was shocked, and while urging the Qin pawns around him to resist Meng Zhong and the others, he pushed Bai Qi onto the boat, and immediately pushed the boat hard, trying to push it away.

"Want to go?!"

Wei Xu chased after him with a hideous face, and went straight to Bai Qi, Xiang Shou and others, seeing this, the Qin pawns from the side left two people to help Xiang Shou push the boat into the river, and the rest of the Qin pawns turned around and killed Meng Zhong and the others, intending to delay time, so that Bai Qi and Xiang Shou could escape - after all, no matter who these two died here, they couldn't escape to death.

"Xiang Jiang...... Xiang Shou, hurry up and get on the raft! ”

Even if it is white, it is inevitable to panic at this time.

Xiang Shou Yiyan wanted to jump on the raft, but suddenly caught a glimpse of two or three rafts hidden when he came, and he thought to himself: Don't keep these!

So, he swung his sword and cut the rope, and together with the other two or three Qin soldiers, he struggled to push the remaining rafts into the river.

However, at this moment, Meng Zhong rushed forward with Yu Ying to kill and retreat from the Qin soldiers, and slashed at Xiang Shou's back with a sword.

"In that case, you can leave it for me!"

"Protect the General!"

The two Qin soldiers beside Xiang Shou immediately stepped forward to protect Xiang Shou, and took this opportunity to jump into the river and swim towards Bai Qi on the raft.

At this time, the other three or four Qin pawns who were lucky enough not to die also jumped into Yishui and swam towards Bai Qi's raft.

"General?"

Meng Zhong frowned slightly, standing by the riverbank and watching Xiang Shou who was struggling to swim in the river.

"If that man in his forties is a general of the Qin State, then who is the young man he is protecting? What is the status of the Qin army?'

Watching Bai Qi pull Xiang Shou onto the raft from afar, Meng Zhong frowned slightly.

"Here comes the crossbow!" He said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, one of the Wei warriors handed the crossbow he was carrying behind him to Meng Zhong, while the other three or four Wei warriors immediately shot arrows at Bai Qi and Xiang Shou in the middle of the river, but unfortunately there were too few crossbows, and Bai Qi, Xiang Shou and the others immediately leaned over the raft after realizing that the other party was going to shoot arrows, so that the arrows that were shot out were basically ineffective.

Meng Zhong was the only one who didn't move, aiming at Bai Qi on the raft in the distance, and after estimating it in his heart, he pulled the trigger.

"Are you done shooting?"

In the distance, Bai Qi heard a few arrows whizzing through his head, and raised his head slightly to glance at the riverbank.

There was only a muffled sound, and a crossbow bolt hit him right in the left shoulder, and the thin armor could not resist the powerful crossbow bolt.

"Bai Qi!"

Seeing Bai Qi hit the arrow, Xiang Shou whispered nervously.

"General rest assured, Bai can't die yet." Bai Qi relieved Xiang Shou, and immediately raised his head again to look at the other side of the river, just in time to see Meng Zhong slowly put down the crossbow in his hand, casually handed it to Wei Shu beside him, and immediately stood by the river bank and stared at this side.

"Heh, hehehehe......"

For some reason, Bai Qi suddenly laughed.

Xiang Shou was shocked and angry, and reprimanded angrily: "It's hard to escape death, and you can still laugh?" ”

"I'm just laughing at myself......"

Bai Qi looked at the Wei army commander standing on the river bank in the distance, and laughed at himself: "It's ridiculous that I said to myself that I want to make a meritorious service in the Qin country, so that my prestige is even higher than that of the old Zhang Yi, but I never thought that I would almost die at the hands of a Wei army commander this time...... General Xiang, that division commander is not simple. ”

"Of course I do!"

Glancing at Bai Qi, Xiang Shou said angrily: "At a glance, I saw through our disguise, and falsely claimed that Han Shu made us expose ourselves...... Wait, why is he so sure that we are fake? Whether it's that guy or those Wei pawns under his command, it feels too decisive......"

"I'm afraid it's because he's the general who was appointed by the Xiwu to inspect Mount Yique, otherwise those people wouldn't have all realized our details...... From beginning to end, I didn't see anything hinted at by the commander. Glancing at the only three remaining Qin soldiers floating on the raft at this time, Bai Qi said with a slightly wry smile.

I remember that when he came, there were more than 20 Qin soldiers around him and Xiang Shou, but when he fled back to Xiangshan at this moment, there were only three people left around him, I have to say that this is something Bai Qi had never thought of before.

He thought that he could fool the past with his wit and intelligence, but he never thought that he would almost die at the hands of the Wei army commander this time.

"I see."

Xiang Shou nodded suddenly: "It seems that we were unlucky this time, and we just happened to bump into the hands of the main owner......"

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and said with a straight face: "Bai Qi, next time you will never allow such an adventure!" ”

“……”

Bai Qi reached out and touched the wound on the back of Mo's right neck that was cut by Meng Zhong, and then looked down at the crossbow bolt on his left shoulder.

"No, the experience of escaping death once is enough to remember it for a lifetime."

With a long breath, Bai Qi looked intently at the Wei army commander who was still standing on the bank of the river looking at them in the distance, and firmly remembered that face in his heart.

At this time, on the bank of the Yishui River, Wei Xu angrily slashed the sword in his hand on a stone by the river, and scolded angrily: "I was still escaped by those guys!" Damn it! ”

At this time, Meng Zhong also secretly said in his heart that it was a pity, because he knew that they had let go of a big fish.

No, it's two!

The man in his forties is a big fish, after all, some Qin pawns subconsciously call him "general" - once Tian Zhang talked to Meng Zhong about the Qin State, the title of "general" on the Qin side is actually the title of the "general" on the Central Plains side, and the meaning of the two is the same, at least a general above the level of military Sima.

And in addition to the fact that the man in his forties is a big fish, the young man who is not a few years older than him is also a big fish, after all, even the middle-aged man is trying his best to protect him, and always puts the safety of this young man first.

It can be seen that the young man must at least be above the rank of military commander.

"Isn't he the son of the Qin Kingdom?"

Meng Zhong secretly guessed.

In view of the fact that the news of the change of commander of the Qin army has not yet spread, he can only guess so.

However, although he escaped with two big fish, considering that he and the others had done their best, Meng Zhong naturally did not show regret, which made his subordinates feel more and more depressed because of this, so he chuckled and said: "Run, let's run, we have also killed more than a dozen Qin soldiers......

As he spoke, Meng Zhong turned back and asked, "What about the casualties on our side?" ”

Le Yi glanced at everyone, lowered his voice and said, "There are three Song soldiers who are seriously injured, and the rest, only Meng Sui is the most seriously injured......"

"Ah Sui?"

Meng Zhong immediately turned his head to look at Meng Sui, but saw that Meng Sui's entire left arm was covered with blood, and when he looked closely, it seemed that he had been injured by a sharp blade on his arm.

"Brother Mengsui is ...... to protect me," Meng Proud bowed his head in shame.

I have to say that as the clan brothers of Meng Zhong, Meng Hu, and Meng Sui, today's fight is Meng Ao's first battle, but it is obvious that Meng Ao's first battle is not optimistic.

"It's just a little skin trauma, and I'm wearing armor again, so it's not in the way, just rest for a few days."

Meng Sui gently patted Meng Ao's head with his right hand, which was the only one that could move at the moment, and smiled and said with relief.

However, just looking at the blood flowing from his low-hanging left hand, and his left hand twitching from time to time, it didn't look like a small injury.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong gave up his original plan for today, and immediately ordered Rong Yi and ten Song soldiers to protect Meng Sui and the three seriously injured Song soldiers to return to the Wei camp to bandage their wounds first, while Meng Zhong himself, together with Le Yi, Wu Ying, Wei Xu, and Yu Ying, checked the corpses of those Qin soldiers, hoping to find some clues from the corpses of those Qin soldiers.

Of course, during this period, Meng Zhong did not forget to praise Wei Xu and Yu Ying for their bravery, especially Wei Xu, at least seven or eight of the more than 20 Qin soldiers Wei Xu was seriously injured or directly killed, quite brave, worthy of being a warrior who originally served as a brigade commander in the establishment of Wei Wu, Meng Zhong had no doubt that even if it was two of them, he might not be able to defeat Wei Xu.

Once upon a time, Wei Xu and Yu Ying might not have cared about Meng Zhong's praise, but now, they have already gradually trusted the new commander, so they are also happy in their hearts for Meng Zhong's praise.

So much so that Wei Xu swore on the way: If it weren't for the fast escape of those Qin soldiers, otherwise, he and Yu Ying alone would be able to kill all of each other.

Of course, this is an exaggeration, but Meng Zhong, Le Yi and others will not debunk him, after all, it cannot be denied that this Wei Xu is indeed brave, and he is not under Meng Zhong's late clan uncle Meng Qing at all.

"Shi Shuai, what did you say those Qin State spies came to Yique Mountain for?"

After boasting, Wei Xu chatted with Meng Zhong with satisfaction about the origin of Fang Cai's Qin State spies.

"Spies?" Meng Zhong shook his head when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "I suspect that it is not an ordinary spy, but a standing soldier of the Qin State...... Didn't you hear a Qin pawn shouting 'Protect General'? This general, that is, the general, is at least the military commander......"

"Did the commander mean the old man who looked to be in his forties?" Yu Ying's face was full of surprise: "That old soldier is actually a military general?" This...... It's a pity, I knew that I would have gone to him! ”

"I didn't pay attention to ...... either," Wei Xu was also full of regret.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong smiled and persuaded: "If you miss it, you two are so brave, are you still afraid that there will be no chance to make meritorious contributions?" In contrast, I'm curious about where these people came from......"

On the side, Le Yi frowned and said, "These people are here to spy on the deployment of my Wei camp, right?" …… Obviously, I can peep at the situation of my camp on the side of Xiangshan, but I have to run to the side of Yique Mountain...... I think it's a bit of a strange thing. ”

"I think so too."

Meng Zhong was not surprised, and Le Yi thought of a place with him.

After that, it was a pity that Meng Zhong and the others could not find any useful information on the corpses of those Qin soldiers.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong took Le Yi, Wu Ying, Wei Xu, Yu Ying and others to the top of the mountain along the original road, standing in the position of Bai Qi, Xiang Shou and others peeping at the Wei camp, and condescendingly looked down at the Wei camp in the distance.

As Meng Zhong previously thought, looking at the Wei camp under the mountain from here, you can clearly see the whole picture of the Wei camp of the 180,000 Wei army that stretches for more than ten miles, the question is, what does this mean? Is it worth it for the Qin army to send two generals above the rank of military Sima to sneak to the side of Yique Mountain to spy on the Wei camp?

Taking a step back, even if the Qin army wanted to understand the deployment of his Wei army, wouldn't it be enough to climb and peek from the Xiangshan side on the other side of Yishui? Why take the risk?

Or is it ......

Climbing up from Xiangshan to peep at the Wei camp, can't you clearly see the whole picture of this Wei camp?

“……”

Turning his head and looking at Xiangshan on the other side of Yishui a few times, and then glanced at the Wei camp under the mountain, Meng Zhong thought about it in his heart, and then frowned and said: "That group of people deliberately came to Yique Mountain, it must be because they can't see our military camp on Xiangshan, according to my estimate, Xiangshan can't really see it, it should only be the west of this military camp...... The Qin army wanted to know about the deployment of our army on the western flank. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the west and asked, "Where is it from here to the west?" ”

Wei Xu and Yu Ying turned their heads and looked at them, and said not very confidently: "Probably...... Probably the water......"

"Isn't there a city?" Meng Zhong frowned and asked, "Especially the city occupied by the Qin State. ”

Wei Xu and Yu Ying looked at each other, how did they know this?

Seeing this, Meng Zhong sent Yu Ying to the camp of the Han army, invited Han Zu, a Han general who had been in contact twice, and asked the latter the same question.

Han Zu still mistakenly thought that Meng Zhong was Gongsun Xi's confidant, so he naturally had no reservations about Meng Zhong's question, and after thinking about it, he said, "That direction...... There is no city, but a hundred miles west of the location pointed out by Meng Shishuai, there is "Yiyang", the former capital of our Korea, which was unfortunately occupied by the Qin State ten years ago. ”

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh.

It turned out that South Korea's border was originally in Luoshui, but after the loss of Yiyang, Luoshui could not be defended, so that South Korea could only retreat to Yishui, which meant that South Korea lost the vast and fertile land between Luoshui and Yishui.

"Yishui, Yiyang, Xincheng ......"

After Han Zu said goodbye and left, Meng Zhong thought hard about the march map drawn by Han Zu in mud on the mountain before leaving.

"Could it be that the Qin army wants to sneak attack our army from the west?"

Meng Zhong secretly guessed.
