As the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people pulling the ground, all the people and horses in the Woniu Mountain Cottage, young and old, with hundreds of carts, thousands of donkeys and oxen carrying heavy materials, winding all the way south, really not seeing the head and the tail.

Due to his decisive decision and quick action, he caught the government and the villagers off guard, and the road was quite smooth when he first set off.

First of all, the people and soldiers have been greatly restored under the support of a month and a half of full food, and everyone has the strength to hurry, although the speed of the march of fifty or sixty miles on this day still makes Lu Shi feel outrageous, but according to Guo Tianxing and others, this is very rare fast.

According to their understanding, this group of poles not only has thousands of cavalry roaring back and forth, but the entire pole has tens of thousands, and they simply do not dare to take layers of defense and blockade according to the arrangement of the adults above, so they can only gather the people outside into the fortress, trembling and defending strictly, hoping to wait for some time to wait for the border army to rescue, but fortunately, the pole of Woniu Mountain does not have the meaning of breaking the fort at all. Just station a warrior or a team of cavalry in front of the fortress gate along the way, line up the formation, block their gate to show off your might, as long as you don't come out, everyone will be fine.

The cottage along the way is closed at all, and they don't dare to come out to harass, and some of the cottages send people to ask the reason, when they heard that it is the army that moved south from Woniu Mountain, they were dumbfounded and didn't know why.

The last time in Woniu Mountain, Zhangjiabao and Mizhi two wars, not only earned the reputation of the boss's benevolence and righteousness, but also got countless money and food, it is the time to strengthen the strength of the hundred responses, how to put such a good opportunity but to be chased by a dog to flee away?

Lu Shi received these confused and short-sighted pole heads, and just smiled and explained that this operation did not have any hostility towards everyone, and just wanted to borrow a way under Guizhai, as for why he took his family and his mouth away from home, it was a haha and passed by.

So, the first few days were quite smooth, and the army marched forward for four hundred miles.

It was almost midnight that day, and Lu Shiguo Tianxing was stationed on a small hillside on the side of the road, looking at the team at the foot of the mountain that could not see the head and the tail, and talked to each other. At the same time, he kept waving to the sergeants and people who saw the cheering of the commander at the foot of the mountain.

"Great Commander, the speed of the march must be accelerated, this will not work."

"Sir, I'm afraid this won't work." Guo Tianxing said at that time.

Now that Guo Tianxing has raised an objection to the march, Lu Shi doesn't want to refute it in person anyway, for fear that the impact will not be good, and the prestige of the leader will still be supported.

"This is already a rare speed, if it weren't for the fact that I have fed the villagers for a month and a half, so that everyone has strengthened their physical strength, it would have been wishful thinking at this speed that day, or Mr. had foresight."

Lu Shi could only smile bitterly.

Lu Shi thought about it, looked at the sun setting in the west, then looked at the surrounding barren mountains and mountains, and then looked at the villagers who were already tired, Lu Shi whispered: "Now that we have been acting for a few days, we have been alarmed to come to the government, and the government should also make a move, so the time left for us is getting tighter and tighter, we must seize this rare opportunity, rush more, and try to get rid of the possible pursuers behind us, so how about we rush for two more hours today and then set up camp?" ”

Guo Tianxing frowned, pouted his teeth and expressed embarrassment, continuous marching, and dragging countless baggage, which is very physically exhausting, especially sleeping in the wilderness every day, and not being able to dig the ground and rest well in a step-by-step manner, the overdraft of physical strength is greater, and the spirit of the previous departure has now been replaced by exhaustion, and even the active children's group in the old camp, which has always been stimulated by new things, is now drooping its head. Just now, I discussed with my husband that I should set up camp and rest in advance, so that everyone could rest, but my husband proposed to rush for two more hours, didn't that cost these people their lives?

"Sir, this, let's rest first, after recuperating your spirits, you will be able to walk a few more miles tomorrow, and you will be able to recover these delayed times."

Lu Shi shook his head helplessly, and looked at the tired team with a worried expression, but, time.

I wondered, I came to this world and worried about this time all day long, when can I really make my time free?

When it was difficult to make a decision, a fast horse came behind the north team, and the dark blue military uniform was particularly conspicuous in the variegated team, Lu Shi and Guo Tianxing were immediately attracted by this prison sergeant brother, this is the prison sergeant who was on patrol, seeing him so urgent, there must be a major military intelligence report.

Guo Tianxing was a little excited, and he was about to hit his horse to catch up, but Lu Shi grabbed it, at this time, in front of everyone's eyes, your great commander was anxious to let doubts and fears spread, and the current situation is that stability is overpowering.

When the sergeant ran to him, reined in his horse, and reported loudly on the war horse that was spouting white air from his mouth and nose: "Report to the Great Commander of the King." ”

Lu Shi stopped at the time: "I have something to say." ”

The sergeant immediately understood that he was reckless, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and saluted Lu Shiguo Tianxing again: "Chuang - military advisor, I am ordered by Captain Geng Kui to rush here to convey the emergency military situation. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Shiguo Tianxing and Chen Ce Cao Meng beside him became nervous at that time.

"I just got a report from the sergeant of the broken superintendent, the border army of Yulin Town has dispatched 1,000 cavalry, 10,000 foot soldiers, and pursued in the starry night, and now it has crossed our cottage, and it is less than 100 miles away from our army's rearguard, according to the current speed of their pursuit, it is expected that it will encounter our rearguard in two more days, please ask the commander of the military division to decide."

As soon as these words came out, in the valley that was gradually darkening, everyone's faces immediately turned heavy.

The officers and soldiers really dispatched in advance as the military advisor expected, and those who were forced by hunger and stimulated by hundreds of thousands of silver actually exerted their unexpected ability to pursue so quickly.

Now it seems that the decision of the military advisor is just right, if he waits for more than ten days of comfort, then he will face more than 10,000 hungry wolf-like border troops, and his current strength and the official army will be self-defeating.

So everyone's eyes converged on Lu Shi again, quietly waiting for Lu Shi's decision.

The time has finally come, this is all within everyone's hearts, hearing this exact news, Lu Shi actually felt a sense of relief.

Everything is like this, the unknown and waiting are the most painful, and now that the bottom line is known, it is good to deal with the matter according to reality.

"Grand Commander, what do you think of it?" Lu Shi still habitually asked Tianxing for advice.

But no one has ever looked at Tianxing's statement, and everyone knows that Guotianxing's answer must be that everything will be decided by Mr.

Sure enough, Guo Tianxing said nonchalantly: "It's coming, it's coming, it's not a fight?" The arrangement of the operation is decided by the words of the military advisor. ”

"Now, according to the original plan, the third guard team will find a suitable terrain on the spot to block the attack, with spearmen as the mainstay, cavalry as the auxiliary, and all command and dispatch are at the disposal of Deputy Commander Zhao Dahai."

"Very well, that's it." Guo Tianxing nodded in agreement.

"Come to think of it, the official army is pursuing us so urgently this time, first, they have the heart to despise us, second, they are also greedy, and third, they also want to go back to deal with the New Year quickly." Chen Ce lowered his head and analyzed after groaning.

"What should Brother Chen Ce do?" Lu Shi raised his head and asked with a smile.

"There is no corresponding strategy, but, judging from the above performance, the officers and troops will definitely be greedy for merit, and they will definitely rush to the army with some cavalry and some of the elite foot soldiers, I suggest that the military division, please instruct Deputy Commander Zhao Dahai, if the officers and troops come with a group, then do not hold on, but take the initiative to attack and fight."

When Lu Shi heard this, he clapped his hands and praised loudly: "Brother Chen Ce's words are reasonable. ”

Guo Tianxing was a little confused, but he took the initiative to attack and his appetite and agreed loudly.

Looking at the confusion of the other people around him, Chen Ce first smiled and said: "The enemy is arrogant and despises us, then we will use the spear array created by the military division, and the cavalry under the command of Deputy Zhao to give them a head-on blow and defeat their arrogance, these people will definitely fall to the bottom of the suspicious fear valley on the peak of pride, and they will immediately become hesitant and hesitant, so as to slow down their pursuit of us." ”

Lu Shi said with a smile: "With the spear combat method I trained, although we can all see its strong combat power, it has not been tested, and we don't know the shortcomings. ”

"This military advisor is modest, I think this gun array can definitely be invincible with one enemy and one hundred." Guo Tianxing is full of confidence.

"This brother." Lu Shi turned back to the sergeant and said: "You have to work hard, hurry back, and inform Deputy Commander Zhao of our decision, if the officers and troops divide their troops and resolutely attack, if the whole army comes, you must not be reckless, choose favorable terrain and rely on the terrain to block the attack, how to operate, and ask Deputy Commander Zhao to decide according to the situation, but the condition is one, no matter what method is used, we must hold on to the place where we are twenty miles now for three days, even if it is fought to the last man, we must not take half a step back, this is a death order, Others do not need to consult the Grand Commander. ”

"Yes. King Chuang. ”

Lu Shi frowned and waved his hand, and the sergeant immediately got on his horse and flew away.

For the title of King Chuang, Lu Shi objected in his heart, but everyone just didn't change it, and Lu Shi was helpless, but fortunately, Guo Tianxing was not disgusted or unhappy at all, but was happy to see it.

Looking at the rapid disappearance of the sergeant's back, Lu Shi then said to Guo Tianxing: "Time is pressing, I hope the commander will make up his mind, order the old battalion to light torches to speed up the march, and tell the father and fellow villagers that if you go out for one more mile, you will sacrifice one less of our brothers." Guo Tianxing immediately arched his hand and said loudly: "Yes, resolutely carry out the military order of King Chuang." ”

"You-" Before Lu Shi could refute, Guo Tianxing had already flown on his horse, beating his horse and shouting while running along the line: "King Chuang has an order, light torches, and march overnight." ”

The sound faded away, and in a moment, the already hesitant and slow team began to have sporadic torches raised, slowly extending into a fire dragon connecting heaven and earth, and people shouted and galloped towards the sky in the neighing of horses.

Lu Shi looked at the fire dragon rolling in front of him, and couldn't help but feel excited.

A battle of life and death has begun.
