The sound of horses' hooves beat the ground like rumbling war drums.

General Lian Peng, who was bumping up and down on the galloping war horse, gently took the reins of his horse, turned his face and asked, "How many hours will it take to go to Yumen Pass?" ”。

An adjutant general followed closely behind the commander and also reined in his horse, clasped his fists and said: "General Yulian, at the current speed, our army will take about an hour. ”

General Lian stroked his cherished long black beard, nodded and said, "Order the whole army to camp and rest on the spot, bury the pot and make food." In addition, scouts were sent to the front to inquire about the news to see how the battle was going after the Yumen Pass, and at the same time inform the city defenders of the news of the arrival of our reinforcements. After our army is full of food and drink, we will stab the bandits from behind, and strive to annihilate the bandits! ”。

The two guards of Yumen Pass, He Yunlong and Cheng Liangchou, stood side by side on the city tower, watching the red turban army under the city slowly and orderly withdraw, and the two couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Cheng Liangchou turned around and hugged his fists and gave a deep salute and said: "Thank you General He for rushing to reinforcements in time to help me defend this Jade Gate Pass, otherwise I, Cheng Mou, am afraid that even if I repay the country with death, it will be difficult to look under Jiuquan!" ”

He Yunlong smiled and saluted: "Why should General Cheng be polite? You and I are a family, and you should thank General Ma Yu for judging the situation and sending our troops to support early, otherwise in the face of such a fierce attack by the thief army, the consequences will be unimaginable. Once the Yumen Pass is lost, our army will be completely passive. ”

Cheng Liangchou straightened up and sighed softly, and said, "Yes! But I have never figured it out, in the early stage, my hussar camp was like a broken bamboo, and the bandits were completely vulnerable, and they were defeated and retreated. But why did the thief army suddenly become so fierce like a chicken blood? Our army was completely caught off guard".

He Yunlong raised his head and looked out of the city, gritted his teeth and said: "This is the treacherous thief army, deliberately showing weakness in the early stage, and when our army is proud of the enemy and divides the troops to rush forward, he will suddenly kill a horse gun." In my opinion, the gang of thieves we encountered is no less treacherous and ruthless than the steppe barbarians, and we need to be careful to deal with it! ”。

Cheng Liangchou nodded slightly, and was silent thoughtfully. The two of them turned their heads at the same time, looking at the crowd that was gradually receding under the city.

He Yunlong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his head and said, "General Cheng, don't you think it's strange for the thief army to retreat?" The bandits are outnumbered and have the upper hand, but now they suddenly retreat without a fight, thinking that General Ma Yu must have received our military intelligence report and sent reinforcements, and the thieves are afraid of being attacked on their backs, so they will abandon the pass and flee. It's better for you and me to divide the troops, you lead your men and horses to hold the Yumen Pass, and I will lead my troops out of the city to give them a ride! If it is really our reinforcements that arrive, the inside and outside may be able to completely encircle and annihilate the thieves on this road! ”。

When Cheng Liangchou heard this, he shook his head desperately in surprise and said, "I can't help it, General He!" You have just said that the thieves are treacherous and abnormal, in case this is a trap set by the other party to lure our army out of the city, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack...... The most important thing for you and me at present is to ensure that this jade gate is foolproof, not to seek merit but to seek no fault! ”。

He Yunlong frowned and hesitated, pondering for a long time before he gritted his teeth and nodded unwillingly: "What General Cheng said is reasonable!" General Ma Yu also personally replaced: We must not be in a hurry to annihilate the bandits, but must be cautious. Let them go, the day will be long! ”。

Guan Yu, who was swaggering on a horse, nodded slightly after listening to the report of his scouts, turned around and glanced at his dusty and slightly tired soldiers, and whispered an order to the heralds to order the army to stop moving and reorganize the team to standby.

General Guan Yu energetically urged his horse to the front of the team and said loudly: "Soldiers, are you all hungry?" Anyway, General Ben's stomach is already growling! I just received a report from Tanma, and the reinforcements from the hussar camp dozens of miles away are burying a pot for us! Everyone worked hard to level them, and by the way, they tasted how the food they cooked tasted, and if it was not delicious, they even smashed the pot! Lao Tzu likes to eat other people's food and smash other people's pots, do you have the guts? ”。

The soldiers burst into laughter when they heard this. With Lang Lang's laughter, the exhaustion on everyone's body was like floating dust stuck to the armor, and they shook to the ground one after another.

As soon as the laughter stopped, Guan Yu commanded loudly with a serious expression: "Zhang Baiqian, Du Zhongnian, Yao Taihe and listen to the order: You and others led our cavalry to advance at full speed and attack the enemy, and Cui Dakui and the commander led the infantry of the Chinese army to follow. Nie Yunniang listened to the order: I ordered you to lead the people of the headquarters to break off. If the defenders of Yumen Pass get the news, they dare to chase them out and stretch out their hands to bargain, don't be polite to them! ”。

Several generals clasped their fists on their horses at the same time and saluted: "The last general has an order!" ”。

In the temporary garrison of the hussar battalion reinforcements, smoke curled from the cooking.

General Lim Peng sat cross-legged on a makeshift saddle with his armor untipped off, and he first lifted aside his long, well-groomed black beard, and then reached out to pick up the steaming bowl of the sea and blew on the hot air floating on it.

A soldier crawled and threw himself at the feet of General Lian in a panic, startling him.

General Lian frowned and bowed his head and reprimanded: "His grandmother's! Are you fucking panicked and rushed to reincarnate or are you hungry? ”。

The soldier didn't care to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he raised his hand breathlessly, pointed to the outside of the camp and said, "Huh...... General Yulian, it's not good, thief...... The Thieves ...... Cavalry is coming! ”。

Before the words fell, I could only hear a great chaos outside the camp, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

General Lian stood up suddenly, threw the steaming big bowl in his hand at his feet without hesitation, and shouted: "Don't panic, get on your horse quickly to meet the enemy!" ”。

With a "poof", Yao Taihe rode on the horse and shook his two fat little short legs, and slapped the skull of an enemy soldier who had just gotten up and put down his job and was about to copy the guy. scolded in his mouth: "Damn, Lao Tzu is still hungry, you should eat first!" Do you know how to be hospitable? It's really damned."

Du Zhongnian, who was wielding a long knife at his side, said in a loud voice: "General Yao, don't delay here, first kill the enemy's Chinese army and take the head of their commander!" ”。

Although the soldiers of the hussar battalion suffered a sudden blow, they quickly stabilized their positions, quickly took up their weapons with incredible speed, turned on their horses, and assembled in formation.

General Lian Peng brandished a broadsword on his horse, blushing and shouting desperately to command his men into battle. But to his surprise, his rear team was also suddenly in chaos. However, it turned out that Zhang Baiqian led the men and horses of his headquarters to the rear of the hussar camp and launched a fierce attack on the hussar camp almost at the same time.

In front of the hussar camp, Du Zhongnian and Yao Taihe's men and horses were killed, and Du Zhongnian was the first to take the lead, dancing with a long knife in his hand, and rampaging in the enemy camp like chopping melons and vegetables. The little fat man Yao Taihe puffed out his cheeks, and the sledgehammer in the wild wheel was chirping, without mercy, and seemed to be on a collision with Du Zhongnian. What happened to the fat man? Fat people can kill the enemy bravely, the ancients said: Fat people don't let shave eyebrows! Oh, it looks like something is wrong.

General Lian Peng clenched his steel teeth, and his big square face turned red. The hussar battalion has been in a hundred battles, how can it have suffered such humiliation? I don't want to eat a mouthful of hot rice, it's too bullying! Fight it! However, seeing that the thief army made the fierce general with the long knife like a tiger trampling on a flock of sheep, invincible, and several of his generals were cut down under the horse without humility, and no one could stop his edge, General Lian Peng couldn't help but be angry from his heart, and the evil was born to the side of the guts, and he burst into a loud shout, and personally patted the horse to meet him.

Du Zhongnian was on the rise of killing, and suddenly felt a gust of yin wind in his ears, and hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, and at the same time withdrew his sword to protect his body.

With a "snort", the blade of the long knife in Lian Peng's hand was slashing at the blade of Du Zhongnian. Du Zhongnian exerted his arms, pushed upward, and bounced it out. The horses circled, and both of them gritted their teeth and glared at each other, eager to split their opponents in half with a single sword.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first, and the enemy will eat me first!" Yao Taihe opened a bloody road, rushed up, and smashed down with a double hammer with a loud shout.

Lian Peng secretly complained in his heart, he had already used the strength to eat milk when he was the opponent Du Zhongnian, and he was able to fight to a draw. This suddenly killed a little fat man out of thin air, how can he bear it? In a panic, he opened the door unwillingly, attacked Du Zhongnian with two moves, took advantage of the gap between the opponent's withdrawal of the knife and the defense, gritted his teeth, and raised the knife shaft to hit the big copper hammer that fell above his head.

There was a loud bang, Lian Peng only felt that his arms were numb, his body shook twice, and he almost fell off the horse.

Several lieutenants behind Lian Peng found that the coach was in danger, shouted in unison, and rushed forward without hesitation, one of them was immediately flattened by Yao Taihe's big copper hammer, and became a veritable Ah Bian. The other two also enthusiastically raised their hands and became ghosts under Du Zhongnian's knife without hesitation.

Taking advantage of this short gap, General Lian Peng glanced at the entire battlefield, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: the hussar battalion that had been hastily assembled but had a neat lineup was rushed to pieces, and the thief army attacking from three directions at the same time was like three iron pincers, holding the hard walnut of the hussar battalion. At every moment, blood splatters out of the human body; At all times, the knights on both sides fell from their horses without a sound or screaming.

Although he had been in battle for a long time and was accustomed to seeing life and death, General Lian's heart and liver began to tremble and shake at this time, and a deep question arose in his heart: Are these desperate bandits still human? Is it really a little ghost who rushed up from the hell of Abi to ask for his life?

He couldn't think about it anymore, Du Zhongnian, who had cleared the obstacles in front of him and was still dripping with blood on his armor, let out a loud shout and swung his knife again.

Emperor Uncle Gao Quan successfully arrived at the front line, bringing the "Holy Decree" of the "Heavenly Father", the Tiger Talisman of the Commander of the Army, and the Monk Fang Sword. "Hundred steps through the mighty general of the Yang Divine Arrow" Wang Heming and "the great general of the world's great martial arts" Hu Lian came to meet together, this is the first time the two have met since the first battle, both of them have a lot of evil fire in their stomachs, and neither of them is too lazy to take care of each other.

"See Uncle Huang." The two generals knelt on the ground in unison and kowtowed deeply.

Gao Quan smiled and raised his hands, and said modestly: "The two generals have worked hard, so you don't have to be polite with me, let's be even." This time, I brought with me the Divine Father's Decree, the Tiger Talisman of the Commander of the Army, and the Sword of Shang Fang. Since the Heavenly Father can afford me, I will reluctantly make it difficult for me to be the commander of the three armies. But don't hide it from the two generals, Ben Shuai has never fought before, and the fight between this enemy depends on the courage of the two generals! Brothers are united, their profits are gold, and we shoulder the mission of protecting my heavenly kingdom, and any unpleasantness we once had with each other will be put aside for the time being. I wonder what the two generals think? ”。

Wang Heming and Hu Lian, who stood up, glared at each other, bowed and saluted: "The last general is willing to obey the orders of the imperial uncle, but the imperial uncle is the first to look forward." ”

Gao Quan nodded with satisfaction, and said affectionately and solemnly: "The two generals take the order. ”

The two who had just gotten up and had not had time to dust off their knees hurriedly fell to their knees again, and shouted in unison: "Heavenly Father's Holy Venerable Immortal Mang, Boundless Life, Light Covering the Sun and Moon, Wandering Eight Desolations, Thousands of Years, Blessings in All Directions!" The last will be the order. ”
