The old camp has gone away, the sun has reached the middle of the sky, those displaced people have also dispersed, the original camp is only a mess, and the stars are anxiously waiting for the officers and soldiers to dispatch in the ambush.

In order to hide his whereabouts, the sergeant of the prison had to wait here after a night of reconnaissance.

Just as he was waiting anxiously, he suddenly saw countless displaced people running from the north along the river valley like a flood in a panic, and people kept falling along the way, and there was no one to help them, so they ran south crying and screaming.

"Here we are." Guo Tianxing and several other leaders glanced at each other and looked nervously to the north.

Sure enough, in a moment, a few war horses rushed out of the northern river valley, and immediately they were all red-clothed officers and soldiers, running for a while, stopping to observe for a while, and hesitantly approaching the ambush place of the Black Tiger Army.

Fortunately, the Black Tiger Army was well hidden and was not discovered by those official outpost rangers, and then, those official army rangers split up one person to fight and turn around, thinking that they were going back to report the news, and the other rangers continued to follow those outcasts south.

After waiting for about an hour, there was the sound of loud footsteps and dust rising from the valley to the north.

Countless figures, knives and guns slowly appeared in the river valley, and in this boundless crowd, a big pole hunted and flew, and the word "Guo" on it was particularly conspicuous. This is exactly Guo Weiquan's Chinese army.

Guo Tianxing saw the border army surging like a flood, and excitedly spit on the ground with thick phlegm, "Good boy, I finally waited for you, today you have to fight, and if you don't fight, you have to fight, let's have an endless life." ”

Zhao Dahai looked at the rolling border army, and tightened the spear in his hand, staring closely at the official army formation without saying a word.

"That's not right." Geng Kui, who was carefully observing the formation of the border army, suddenly changed color and said: "Grand commander, deputy commander, the situation is not right." ”

Guo Tianxing and Zhao Dahai turned their heads together, and asked Geng Kui inexplicably: "Brother Geng Kui, what's wrong?" ”

Geng Kui stretched his neck again and observed for a while before saying: "The number of border troops is wrong, it is not the more than 5,000 horses we originally expected, looking at the current situation, there are definitely more than 20,000." ”

"What? Twenty thousand? "Guo Tianxing and Zhao Dahai were both startled, why are there so many?" You're not mistaken, there were originally 10,000 border troops, but more than 2,000 were killed and wounded by us in the first battle, close to 3,000, and more than 1,000 were annihilated in the Xikou blocking battle, and nearly 2,000 were annihilated, so there should be more than 5,000 officers and soldiers left, why did 20,000 suddenly come out. Zhao Dahai looked at Geng Kui in disbelief.

"The Grand Commander, the Deputy Commander, you see, there are more than 5,000 people in front of the Chinese army, according to the normal arrangement, this is only the front army, the Chinese army is the brigade, and there is a rear army behind the brigade."

Zhao Dahai and Guo Tianxing hurriedly climbed to a higher place, and observed carefully, although the two of them were not familiar with the Ming army, but the black pressure of the human head could still be seen approximately, the front of the official army rolled forward, and the back did not see the tail of the team, it was really not five thousand, this is indeed more than 20,000, at this time Zhao Dahai and Guo Tianxing glanced at each other, and couldn't help but gasp.

The military situation has changed, and the officers and troops have been reinforced.

The three of them met again, and they didn't talk to each other with bitter faces, it seems that the premonition of the military advisor is correct, the officers and soldiers really want to destroy themselves, and they also set a big trap for themselves.

What to do, to fight or not to fight?

Now it's not the time when Guo Tianxingzhi said to the officials and soldiers complacently, today you have to fight, you have to fight if you don't fight, and people will fight to the death with you today.

The other party is 20,000, and it is also a new border army, and there are only 4,000 of them here, and half of them are new annexes, so there is no way to fight with others.

At this time, Zhao Xing, Chen Ce, and Lu Shi, who have some wisdom, are not here, and the three of them are really helpless.

"Hurry up and send someone to catch up with Mr. and ask for a plan." Guo Tianxing rubbed his hands and said blankly.

The other two could only smile wryly.

I also have to send someone to ask the military division, when is this, and send people to go back and forth that the daylily is cold.

"Withdraw." Geng Kui said with a firm expression: "We will withdraw now, find a pass in front to defend it to the death, and then notify the military division that the enemy situation has changed, and let the military division carry out light equipment, throw away all the baggage and materials that can be lost, light equipment, and change the route." ”

Guo Tianxing and Geng Kui were silent, it was indeed too late to retreat now, but could there still be a pass like the West Exit in front of them for themselves to keep? And once it retreats and lets the officers and soldiers pursue it, it will have a great crisis for the old battalion.

But what else can be done here without retreating? Fight? 2,000 versus 20,000, then the whole army may be wiped out, and it is really a dilemma to decide where to go.

"Two commanders, hurry up and decide, or it will be too late." Geng Kui anxiously urged the two.

In the end, Guo Tianxing gritted his teeth and stomped his feet: "Withdraw, let's find a place to fight again." ”

"However, we can't retreat like this." Geng Kui hurriedly suggested.

"What do you say?" The dispatch of the army, as long as Geng Kui is familiar with it, Guo Tianxing and Zhao Dahai are really not as good as Geng Kui.

"Please ask the commander to press the new annex army to withdraw first, the spearmen to hold back, and the cavalry to break off."

"Okay, just do what you do."

"Since we are here, we can't come in vain, the bow and arrow battalion first gave the officers and soldiers a rain of arrows, so that they don't know our reality and reality."

"Okay, that's it." Guo Tianxing is now almost obedient to Geng Kuiyan.

At the sound of an order, the army immediately moved.

As soon as the order was issued, the bow battalion immediately stood up in the ambush, poured a rain of arrows at the officers and soldiers under the mountain, and put down a piece in the walking officer and army column, and the originally strict officer and army brigade immediately came with a miserable howl, and then the officers and soldiers immediately became chaotic, and all the officers and soldiers shouted in a panic for the enemy attack, looking for the location of the sneak attacker.

At this moment, another black rain of arrows was thrown into the air, and then with a terrifying scream, it once again pounced on the panicked military formation.

"Shield, shield." The junior officers and soldiers screamed and began to command the sword and shield soldiers to step forward.

The first time they saw such a long arrow, the huge arrow body with a huge kinetic energy, hit the shield, the shield was like a paper paste, instantly penetrated, and suddenly pierced the body of the officers and soldiers who hoped that the shield would shelter, piercing one by two, piercing the enemy who was not yet dead on the ground, tossing and wailing.

This kind of suffering is not over, it has just begun, and bursts of feather arrows with the grim smile of death continue to harvest the lives of officers and soldiers in the long array. For a while, the array of officers and soldiers fell one by one, and the wailing continued to intensify.

At this time, the officers and soldiers waved urgently, waving flags, and when the junior officers saw it, they immediately shouted loudly and gave the order: "Quick, quickly retreat to the river, and the whole team will meet the enemy." ”

The panicked officers and soldiers received the order and immediately ran to the frozen river, avoiding the range of their bows and arrows. Start your team on the ice and prepare to meet the thieves who are about to be killed.

Guo Weiquan's last battle, not only lost the soldiers, but also because of the light enemy, in the strong attack of the head broke blood, had to cut the feathers and returned, originally expected the soldiers to eat and drink enough to attack again to regain face, but did not think that there was a story of slaughtering the soldiers, this time it was in the hands of the Mizhi County Order, not only no longer supply grain and grass but also sued him, but the second grade of the senior was a small seven-grade county commander to make a fussy face.

Without food and drink, let alone attack, even the retreat has become a big problem, so I have to set up food and make a living, but this surrounding area has been scraped by the county several times, and it has long become a blank land, or secretly made a small landlord to temporarily solve the urgent need, and when he was in a dilemma, the governor Yang He suddenly issued an urgent proclamation of six hundred miles, ordering him to stand by and wait for follow-up reinforcements. The grain and grass in the army were also transferred from rice fat again.

A day later, the border army brigade came to reinforce it, and there were 15,000 men and horses, which was much more than Guo Weiquan expected, and now he also knew that the governor and governor began to value this group of thieves, and also discovered the difference of this group of thieves, and now they want to nip this group of thieves who may be corrupting the place in the bud.

The general who came with the unified army was also his old subordinate who stayed behind, the deputy commander-in-chief Yangzi, and at the same time brought the governor's new strategy for marching into the army, seeing this strategy, Guo Weiquan couldn't help but sigh, he was still not as good as others in terms of strategy.

So according to the instructions of the strategy, Guo Weiquan took a large group of men and horses, and waited until the people who were blocking the west entrance of the Woniu Mountain thieves retreated, and then followed slowly, keeping a certain distance from the Woniu Mountain, as if he really wanted to send the Woniu Mountain thieves out of the country.

When he arrived in Suide, Zhou Ji, the county respecter, was a sincere person, he did not make things difficult for himself like other ministers, the supply of grain and grass was considerate, and he strictly restrained his subordinates, and there was no harm.

Yesterday, the officers and soldiers were still moving forward at the normal marching speed of the thieves, but they didn't want to go ahead to probe the horses, and the thieves brigade actually reflexively attacked.

Seeing that the thieves did not stupidly attack their 20,000 horses with a few thousand men and horses, everyone rested for a day.

Today I slowly pursued again, but put on a decisive battle posture, the army forward is simply the method of battle formation, once and the thief counterattack army encountered, then a fight, a duel between male and female, unexpectedly, this time the thief simply gave himself an ambush, for a while, the official army has not seen the long arrow to the official army brought huge losses.

Since the thieves appeared, let's fight, so Guo Weiquan ordered the three armies, in the valley, to form three square formations, line up the fire commanders, archers, swords, shields, and spearmen, and wait for the thieves to rush out of the fight.

But when he set up his own formation, the thief roared away again, and he didn't fight with him at all, which was beyond his expectations.

was wondering, the henchman deputy chief soldier Yangzi hit a horse and ran to Guo Weiquan's Chinese army and asked loudly: "General Town, the thieves have retreated repeatedly, is our army pursuing?" ”

Guo Weiquan stood up on the horse, looked at the thief from afar for a moment, shook his head with a smile and said: "Look at the formation of the thieves when they retreat, and the cavalry is broken and pressed, forget it, just let them meet with the brigade, anyway, they won't be able to run far, let's reorganize the formation and follow up, I'll see how long this thief can jump." ”
