The two mountains face each other, sandwiched by a dilapidated cottage, but in the dilapidated village, there is a huge battle flag, although the flag surface is full of knife marks and arrows, but the fiery red color, the black word, standing in the hunting north wind, the snow bright spear head, the bright red tassel unyielding straight piercing the sky of the dark clouds, as if to poke the sky into a hole.

Under the banner, a majestic figure, holding the battlement, frowning and looking at the distant world with a sad face, standing beside him, a thin scribe was also full of anxiety and melancholy.

The sky was full of dark clouds, and the darkness was heavy and heavy on everyone's heads, hearts.

This is the weather that has not been seen in three years, is it going to snow heavily? It really snows heavily, which is really a great thing for the mountainous land that has been in drought for many years, but on the faces of everyone in this city, what they see is not only sorrow, but also sorrow.

"Mr. Chen, is there no news of King Chuang?" I don't know how many times I've asked this question.

"Nope." Chen Ce has answered this question countless times.

"King Chuang has been breaking through with the old camp for more than 20 days, so he should rush over anyway."

"I captured the prisoners of the officers and soldiers, and during the interrogation, it was said that although Zhao Dahai's bastard rebelled, King Chuang still rushed into the mountains with the brigade, and then the border army mutinied, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade also retreated to encircle and suppress, there should be no danger." Chen Ce comforted Tianxing Dao.

"I know, how can there be danger in Chuang Wang Fuda, that is, Zhao Dahai's bastard let 20,000 officials and soldiers enter Sichuan to participate in the war, and he can't help King Chuang, what else can help him?" Although he was full of confidence in Lu Shi, the worry on his face was still undiminished, but even worse.

Having said that, it is still a bit self-deceptive, although he killed and wounded and took away nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers, he did not know that there would be Zhao Dahai's accident at that time, and took these nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers into the mountains, although he turned over and killed back several times, seducing the officers and troops all the way to the south, so down, when he broke through the siege, 3,000 troops composed of spearmen, baggage soldiers and 100 cavalry, and less than half of them were killed in battle.

But when he arrived in Fuxian, he was ready to throw off the officers and troops behind him, kill Weinan in one go, and make peace with Mr., but suddenly found that the officers and troops of the guards from all over the country rushed to the north, and even the thousands of border troops who had been difficult to contain themselves went north regardless of themselves. Stubbornly entangled with the largest border army, hoping that he could relieve the pressure on Lu Shi.

At this time, the sergeant of the prison learned two news from the interrogation of the captured low-level officers of the official army, one good news is that the border army of the north is not to encircle and suppress Lu Shi, but the Guyuan mutiny within the official army, the mutinous border army attacked Yan'an, and swept Fuxian, and then roared westward, which made Yang He greatly shocked, the mutiny of the army here is more deadly than what is the king and thief, if the court knows, that is, many people fall to the ground, so on, desperately pursued westward. For a time, the strength of the officials and troops in this rich county and other places was empty.

Another bad news, that is, those officers and soldiers confessed, Zhao Dahai surrendered to the enemy, and let 20,000 fresh troops enter Sichuan, when he heard the news, Guo Tianxing vomited blood at that time, and Chen Ce fainted to the ground, if it weren't for Wang Xin, Jiang Liang and other brothers calling for help, Chen Ce would have passed.

But the good news is that in any case, Lu Shi fought back and forth in front of the battle, and even sacrificed the banner of the king to boost morale, although there were heavy casualties, one out of ten (official and military language) finally broke through the siege, so that the official army was encircled and suppressed.

But as soon as Lu Shi entered the deep mountains, there was no news.

What to do, this was the key question before the leaders at that time.

At that time, Guo Tianxing had three choices, first, according to the original plan, go straight to Weinan, make a foundation in Weinan, and wait for Lu Shi and others to break through.

Second, turn over and kill back, and avenge the villagers of Chuang Wang.

Third, in this rich county, on the edge of this mountain, a big banner was played, attracting enemies and reducing pressure on the team that might survive the king, and waiting for the king to appear here.

The safest, now there is no chasing soldiers, they can run to Weinan safely and steadily, no matter whether Lu Shi is there or not, they can survive, Weinan is rich, everyone knows that recruiting troops there can also make a comeback.

The most undesirable, not to mention the reckless mountains, looking for survivors who may have been broken is like looking for a needle in a haystack, you can only miss the opportunity that you have not encountered, then the rest of the 1,000 men and horses who have no food and grass to carry and need to rest urgently are either trapped to death by the officers and soldiers, and are eaten by these thousands of mountains.

The most dangerous and difficult, although here, you may encounter Lu Shi who broke through, but when you will encounter it is unknown, not to mention, the strong fortress here is tall, the township is strong, and the survival and fight here is not good is the total annihilation.

What to do?

"What to do, we have to find Mr. even if we die." Guo Tianxing, with red eyes and bloodshot lips, said with a resolute expression, "Without Mr. we will achieve nothing, what does it mean that we are still alive without Mr." ”

Chen Ce, who woke up, resolutely supported Guo Tianxing's opinion, he represented the third force in Woniu Mountain, Wang Xin and Jiang Liang, the two captains, took him Chen Ce as the leader.

So, everyone decided to camp here and wait for King Chuang to come out of the mountain to join the army.

So everyone worked together to attack the next small cottage as a base area, and got a little supplement, on the one hand, they would raise the wounded, and on the other hand, they would spread out the news of Lu Shi from various mountain passes.

After more than ten days, there was no result, which made Chen Ce frown.

At this time, Guo Tianxing proposed a stupid way, instead of looking for Lu Shi by himself, it was better to make his momentum bigger, play the banner of breaking the king, and turn him upside down in this rich county, as a fixed goal, let Lu Shi come to find him.

This is an almost crazy method, although now the main force of the official army is retreating, but the township is still there, the government is still there, when the Black Tiger Army is the weakest, the real government integrates the local attack to encircle and suppress, then the Black Tiger Army will enter a situation of no return.

However, as soon as this decision came out, it was unanimously supported by everyone, and everyone had already fought anyway.

So, on the land of this rich county, suddenly killed a strong pole, saying that they are poles is not correct, they not only really call the king, but also afraid that the world does not know, the war burned spotted banner held high, in this rich county territory roaring back and forth, especially look at their various armor and armor, but the vigorous combat power does not dare to underestimate, especially this king pole, the strict discipline of the people almost does not offend, every village, all sing what three disciplines and eight attention to the war song, Presently say that they have a set of big truths, recruit poor poles to join, and those small fortresses are not polite, raids, strong attacks, sneak attacks, kidnapping, that is really a new trick, endless, every time they capture a single one will not kill all the slaughter, rob the property, open the warehouse and release the grain, and then run away with a smoke, only to stir up the people of this rich county panic.

The opening of the warehouse and the release of grain, this time it is more popular, the homeless people who go up the mountain to take refuge are endless, and the grain and grass are piled up like a mountain, and the momentum is unmatched for a while.

At this moment, everyone should be happy about this thief, but all the scribes who saw this cottage claiming to be the commander and the weak can't help but be sad all day long, although the cottage has been full of wounded soldiers, but still keep attacking, so that those who have a heart shake their heads, the pole is still a pole, even if it is called the king, at this time it should be gathered strength, dedicated to recuperating the wounds, but should not be so greedy. But how do they know what these two leaders are thinking?

Today, there is no news of the results they want to get, which makes Guo Tianxing and Chen Ce even more anxious, they know that every day that passes, Lu Shi and the others who are staggering forward in the mountains will be more dangerous and injured, I don't know how many brothers have collapsed and died without eating, drinking, and lack of medical treatment.

Guo Tianxing stood under the banner of breaking the word, smashed his fist on the battlement with hatred, and said to Chen Ce: "It seems that our momentum is not enough, and we have not yet attracted the attention of Mr. ”

"yes." Chen Ce was also worried, coughing constantly, looking into the distance: "Tomorrow, the new Ding Zhuang will also be formed into a team, scattered, to the north, and recommended to the north again." Chen Ce whispered.

When Guo Tianxing heard this, he couldn't help but feel unbearable for a while.

The newcomer Ding Zhuang almost has no combat effectiveness, let alone dealing with Xiang Yong, and he can't even deal with small stocks.

Chen Ce glanced at Guo Tianxing, this man is becoming more and more like Lu Shi, a bodhisattva is hearted, and he is indecisive. How good is that?

"Don't hesitate, there are not many opportunities, there are five or ten days before you can lead King Chuang out, don't talk about the brave officers and soldiers of the Thief Township, it is this severe cold, and this shortage of materials will kill the remnants of King Chuang's army. Everything is based on finding news about the king, and everything is based on being able to lead to the king. ”

After Chen Ce coughed for a while, he took a breath and said with difficulty again: "This time, not only do you want to let these newcomers make a big noise, but also drive them into the mountain, the farther away the better, and build the momentum into the mountain." ”

Guo Tianxing hesitated.

"Make a decision, if you don't make a decision, it will be too late to wait for the heavy snow to close the mountain."

Guo Tianxing was speechless, looking at the dark clouds that were getting lower and lower, Guo Tianxing was anxious, if he didn't come sooner or later, how could this heavy snow that was about to fall come at this fateful time?

Guo Tianxing slammed his fist against the wall again, and made up his mind: "Okay, let it out, let it all out, this time I will personally lead a group, and I will never come back if I can't find Mr." ”

Chen Ce was shocked, but when he looked at Guo Tianxing's resolute expression, he was speechless, just coughing violently, as if he was about to cough out his lungs.

At this time, a fast horse galloped from afar, and there were faint cheers and shouts.

"What did he shout?" Chen Ce asked Tianxing with difficulty, and Guotianxing was also listening carefully.

Looming in the wind was: "King Chuang-King Chuang, King Chuang-"
