On the edge of a small lake thirty-five miles northwest of Zhao Junsheng's campsite, the fleeing Rouran people returned here one after another.

Mo sat on a rock, bare-chested and asked an attendant to clean and bandage his wounds.

He wore a cloth belt on his forehead, his eyes flashed with a fierce light from time to time, and the exposed half of his arms showed strong muscles, and the subcutaneous blood vessels were rough, and he looked like a powerful force.

A general Rouran came over and reported: "Qu Shuai, those who can come back are back, and those who haven't come back are afraid that they won't be able to come back!" Until now, we have only one and a half thousand left! ”

Mo Gu Zhengxiong listened to the report of his generals and was a little lucky, just last night's battle, it was also thanks to the Wei army that he was worried about being ambushed at night and did not chase after him, otherwise he was only afraid that the whole army would be wiped out, and it was already a blessing in misfortune to lose only 500 people.

However, Mo Gu Zhengxiong was not grateful to Wei Jun for this, but even more hateful!

"This revenge is not avenged for the prairie eagle!"

Mo Gu Zhengxiong snorted coldly in his heart, seeing that his entourage had already cleaned and bandaged his wounds, got up and put on animal skins, and asked his generals: "We lost the battle last night very suddenly, if the Wei army had been prepared, why did we only lose so many men?" What the hell do you think they're up to? ”

General Rou Ran said: "Qu Shuai, I don't think they were prepared in advance, if they set a trap waiting for us to drill, we can't have so many people flee back." I think it should be a coincidence that we suddenly broke into the vicinity of their campsite and their guard post spotted it in time! ”

"So I'm not alone, I'm unlucky?"

The general sneered: "It can only be said that it is bad luck!" ”

At this time, a Rouran ranger galloped over and reported: "Qu Shuai, the rangers we sent to track and monitor the Wei army, those Wei people, and livestock have all been killed, and none of them have escaped back!" The scout cavalry that monitored the main force of the Wei army was also killed, and the main force of the Wei army disappeared from our sight! ”

"What?" Mo Gu Zhengxiong was furious when he heard this, "This must be a good thing done by Wei Jun!" Their main force is gone, are those Wei people and hundreds of thousands of livestock also gone? Send me someone to find out and track down, and I must find their main force! ”

"Yes, Qu Shuai!"

After the ranger who reported the news left, General Rouran asked Mo Gu Zhengxiong: "Qu Shuai, what are you going to do?" We don't have a large population, and if we lose some, it will be difficult to replenish it in a short period of time."

Mo Gu Zhengxiong turned his head to stare at the general: "Not only did we not catch anything on this trip, but we lost five or six hundred men and horses, did you let me just take my sons and daughters back?" How do I account for the relatives of my dead sons? ”

General Rouran bent over and said uneasily: "The subordinates are only from the order of the commander!" ”

"Tell me to go down, and everyone will set off with me after they have eaten and drunk!" Mo Gu Zhengxiong thought about it for a while and gave the order.

Soon, Mo Gu Zhengxiong led a large group of people to the camp where Zhao Junsheng's main force was located last night, and there were hundreds of corpses of Rouran people who were killed last night lying scattered near the camp.

Mo Gu Zhengxiong looked at the corpses lying on the ground, the hatred in his heart was greater, and the mood for revenge was more urgent.

The battlefield was cleaned, leaving nothing but corpses, and Mo Gu Zhengxiong couldn't find some clues left by the Wei army.

Soon, a scout came back and reported to Mo Guzhengxiong: "Qu Shuai, we have found the main force of the Wei army, and they are protecting those Wei herdsmen who are retreating south along the river bank!" ”

"How many people are there?"

"There are about 2,000 people in total, and their main general is under the banner of Wuchuan Town General!"

Mo Gu Zhengxiong was puzzled: "The detective and detective posts we sent out before have been killed, how did you get close to investigate?" Didn't they find out? ”

"We found it on a hill near where they must pass, and their scouts just circled around the bottom of the hill and left!"

Mo Gu Zhengxiong sent someone to call his two generals over and said: "During the day, we will take a detour to hide in front of them, and at night, we will attack their camp in turn like a pack of wolves!" ”

The Rouran people rested for an hour and set off, and they made a detour to the southwest to wait for Zhao Junsheng's army in front.

There were a large number of people with them, but although they could ride horses, there were hundreds of thousands of cattle to drive behind them, and the march speed was really not fast, and they could only walk fifty or sixty miles a day at most.

Today seems to be a good day, with the sun shining high to dispel some of the chill in the air.

Falling down the war horse and walking, Zhao Junsheng took the map and looked at it for a while, and shouted to Li Bao: "Send someone to pass the order down, let everyone speed up!" ”

"Yes, General!"

Zhao Junsheng had already chosen the campsite for tonight, but the location of this campsite would not be able to catch up with it if it was at the current marching speed, so he had to speed up a little.

At dusk, the team finally arrived at the scheduled location, and Zhao Junsheng felt a little relieved.

This triangular area protrudes towards the center of the river, with the tip close to the center of the river, flanked by the river, and only the land to the west.

Under Zhao Junsheng's orders, some herdsmen and soldiers dug a large number of horse traps on the outskirts of the camp according to his requirements, and pulled up small tripwires as fast as possible, leaving only one passage.

The generals took advantage of the last period before dark to pick up the general's dry horse manure, dry firewood, branches, and hay and piled up several firewood piles around the camp.

When night fell, the cold rose, and many people felt cold, so Zhao Junsheng had to have a few fires in the camp for the people to keep warm.

After the mutton was cooked, Zhao Junsheng took two soldiers to bring the mutton and broth to his mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

Hua Yuan took the mutton and mutton soup and asked, "Junsheng, are Rouran people still not dead?" Still haunted? ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't want to tell Hua Yuan's news about the Rouran people, but if he didn't tell her, he was worried that the Rouran people would cause her panic after the attack, and he was worried that she would be frightened, so it was better to tell her some news so that she could be mentally prepared.

"Our spies have detected that the Rouran people don't seem to have gone far, their spies have been following us, we chose this place as the camp for the purpose of luring them over and catching them all, if they attack the camp tonight, mother-in-law, you have to take care of Xiaoxiong, don't let him run around, as long as you stay in the camp, you will be fine, we have more than 2,000 soldiers, and the Rouran people are not as many as us!"

Hua Yuan nodded and agreed.

The brother-in-law, Hua Xiong, asked: "Brother-in-law, I remember that two years ago, you were still a weak scholar, how did you become so strong and powerful now?" I remember that you have always been very bold, why are you bolder now? ”

Zhao Junsheng touched his head: "Body and guts can be practiced, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is nothing that cannot be done!" Xiaoxiong, you are a man, you must learn your skills, protect your mother-in-law when you grow up, and when you marry a wife, you must protect your wife and children, this is what a man should do! ”

"Hmm!"

"General!" Bai Jinguang clasped his fists and shouted not far away, as if he had something to report.

Zhao Junsheng said goodbye to Hua Yuan, got up and walked over to Bai Jinguang, "What happened?" ”

Bai Jinguang reported: "General, there have been several fights between the guard post near Fang Cai and the detective post of the Rouran people, it seems that the Rouran people have touched it, and they want to clear the guard posts we have arranged on the periphery before attacking us!" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, pass my order, withdraw all the outlying sentinels, and leave only the dark sentinels, if the dark sentinels find that the Rouran people are approaching, they will send the news to warn with the sound of insects and birds!" ”

"Yes!" Bai Jinguang hugged his fists and turned to leave.

Under a hill twenty miles southwest of this place, Mo Gu Zhengxiong and his 1,500 Rouran cavalry were sleeping at this time.

"Qu Shuai, Qu Shuai!"

Mo Gu Zhengxiong was woken up by his general, and he turned over and got up: "It's dark? Where did the Wei people go? ”

"The river to the northeast is only twenty miles from us! The subordinates have sent people to clear the guard posts they have deployed on the perimeter, but the camp they chose to camp in is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with rivers on both sides, and we can only attack from the front! ”

Mo Gu Zhengxiong was puzzled: "How fast are they marching?" It's only twenty miles from us? ”

"Yes! The subordinates thought that the purpose of their march was to camp in that position, because it was easy to defend, and they might as well want to get rid of us as soon as possible! ”

"Let's go, take me to check out the Wei people's camp!"

"Yes!"

Under the guidance of his generals, Mo Gu Zhengxiong soon came to the vicinity of the Wei people's camp.

They stood on a high place and observed the situation in the Wei camp, at this time there were more than a dozen bonfires burning in the Wei camp, and the bonfires lit up the camp.

Mo Gu Zhengxiong saw that the camp was protruding towards the center of the river, with river water on both sides, and it was indeed an easy position to defend and difficult to attack.

The situation seemed to be a little wrong, the Wei people seemed to have no cover, Mo Gu Zhengxiong asked: "When the Wei people were camping, was our outpost nearby?" Did you watch them set up camp? ”

"That's not true, when they stopped camping, they sent a large number of small groups of cavalry to search around, our outposts did not dare to approach, and they were worried about being besieged by the Wei cavalry, so they had to withdraw temporarily, and only after dark did they retreat, and our spies could return to monitor them!"

Mo Gu Zhengxiong frowned and said: "There seems to be something wrong with this camp, you see that there are not as many soldiers and horses in the camp as we actually detected, most of the people who are active in the camp are herdsmen and people, they must have a group of people and horses hidden nearby, they are just waiting for us to send them to the door tonight!" ”

The generals saw that the camp was indeed a little unorthodox, and the Wei people behaved too openly, and it should not be this kind of performance when they were surrounded by strong enemies.

"Qu Shuai, what should we do? Don't fight tonight? ”

Mo Gu Zhengxiong sneered and said, "The Wei people treat us as fools, why should I crash into their trap like a fool?" Go back, we'll hold on! ”
