North, pass.

Zhao Dahai took his cavalry brothers and 500 new attached troops, and blocked the dangerous place of the pass, opposite them was 20,000 border troops who were waiting for them.

The officers and soldiers did not attack, but set up camp opposite him and held on to the Black Tiger Army.

Zhao Dahai's cavalry deputy looked at the appearance of the officers and soldiers for a long time, and couldn't help but be suspicious, this is not fighting, not leaving, just staring at it with such big eyes, what is the matter?

So he rubbed to Zhao Dahai's side, and asked with a tooth: "I said, deputy commander, what kind of madness did this officer and soldier commit, did they start to fear us, so they didn't move forward?" They are still afraid of their superiors' criticism and dare not back down. ”

Zhao Dahai was lying on a slope, basking in the newborn sun, snorted comfortably, buttoned the tattered official hat on his face, and said absentmindedly: "It's not good if he doesn't come to attack?" It will continue to be consumed like this until it is dark, and I think that my brother will also have a result with his men and horses, so let's talk about it at that time. ”

Listening to this, it made the deputy Zhao Xiaozi even more confused, but what the deputy commander said was right, everyone is consuming it like this, anyway, we need time the most, and we really need it until the brothers and elders in front of us enter the mountain, that is, everything is fine, what are you afraid of?

So Zhao Xiaozi stood up and shouted to the brothers who followed behind: "Cheer up, don't slack off, keep an eye on me." Then he once again shouted to the new annexed army and other brothers: "The officers and soldiers will not attack, this is an opportunity for us, don't be idle, everyone hurry up to find stones and trees, strengthen the bunker fortress, don't forget, when the officers and soldiers fought with us at the west entrance, they took out a lot of cannons and fire, and that thing has no fortifications to kill people." ”

The brothers behind him suddenly agreed, some of them clenched their knives and guns, stared at the movements of the officers and soldiers opposite with wide eyes, and most of them accelerated the speed of cutting wood and building bunkers in their hands.

"The brother of the new annex army took out a brother from the firearms battalion and set up the five elm sprays, don't give us a problem at the beginning of the war, it is our big killer, and we are counting on him to give us a boost at a critical time."

So, a Wu immediately ran out of the new attached army, and under the leadership of the captain of the military commander's squad, he helped the brothers of the Elm Flamethrower Battalion to strengthen their positions and lay a solid foundation.

The new attached army was originally very nervous, although it strengthened its mind to fight to the death for Woniu Mountain, but after all, 800 against 20,000 is not a level at all, as the so-called, people to 10,000 are boundless, people to 100,000 withdraw to the sky, and 20,000 officers and troops on the opposite side, that is really like an ocean, and you can't see the beginning and the end at all.

Now, seeing that the officers and troops do not come to attack, it is precisely because they can't ask for it, and if they can complete the task like this, of course they can't ask for it, so although they are nervous, their hearts have been relaxed.

In this way, everyone sat still until the sun was rising.

Zhang Dalang, as a member of Zhao Dahai's cavalry, was sent by Lu Shi to exercise, and he was Zhao Dahai's own nephew, so he was inevitably taken care of, so in the cavalry, walking back and forth, everyone rarely compared, so the restless Dalang would run to the front to observe the enemy situation, see if there was no movement, and then run to the back to listen to the movement in the direction of the brigade, and so on, Zhao Dahai couldn't help but take off the hat buckled on his face and scolded with a smile: "Is it enough to eat?" Going back and forth, can't you stop for a while? ”

Da Lang smiled and said in front of his uncle: "It's not the official army that makes trouble, if you don't fight, you won't leave, you will torture people, it is better to kill happily, and you can show the martial arts you learned from your uncle." ”

However, when it comes to learning martial arts, Da Lang is very disdainful of Zhao Dahai, Uncle Zhao's spear is really superb, but since Uncle Lu invented the saber, the spear is really a spear, go into battle to kill the enemy, he Uncle Zhao also grabbed the swords of his brothers, it seems that for the first time, his day and night learning spear is really in vain.

However, no matter how he objected, Uncle Zhao just didn't agree with him to give up the study of the spear, saying that he couldn't use it at this time, and when there was no saber array, the spear would be his capital to get ahead.

There is no great array of sabers, just with the power of Uncle Lu, there are more and more sabre powers, where can there be none? However, since my father is gone, the only people who care about his brother in the world are this Uncle Zhao and Uncle Lu, and I think that what he said will not give him a loss.

Just as he was pondering, suddenly, there were bursts of cannon fire in the distance to the south, like rolling thunder, continuously, and then there seemed to be a sound of killing when the wind stopped.

At first, Da Lang thought that there was a problem with his ears, but almost all the brothers jumped up and stretched their necks south nervously to see something, which was really fighting.

Da Lang ran to Zhao Dahai, who was also sitting up straight, Zhao Dahai was nervously frowning and listening carefully, without waiting for Da Lang to speak, he immediately jumped up and did not slap the dust on his body, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, our front army and the officers and soldiers who are blocking in Qingjian Valley are fighting, everyone is on guard to protect the back road for the brothers." ”

All the brothers lost their illusions at this moment, got up together, and nervously began to examine the piled up stones,

The five elm sprays were also constantly reinforced and reinforced by the gunners again, for fear that they would not be able to exert their full power when the war started.

The brothers of the new annexed army also began to rely on the backs of the fortifications that had been urgently built by the pass themselves, under the leadership of the captain and the commander, and put on guard against the border troops outside.

Now, the front has been in contact with the officers and soldiers, listening to the sound of artillery and shouting and killing, the battle must be very fierce, and now the back of the old battalion is guaranteed by some of its own men.

The sound of cannon shouting and killing in the south kept coming, in the north wind that was tense and stopped, listening to it looming, all the people listened nervously with their ears propped up, hoping that the shouting and killing could move south or west, or simply disappear, but no, until noon, it did not stop, the shouting and killing was still going back and forth in that section of the river valley, it seemed that the breakthrough of the old camp had no effect, which made people feel even more nervous.

When the shouts of killing came from the officers and soldiers on the opposite side, there seemed to be a commotion, and everyone became more nervous, but after a while, those officers and soldiers were quiet again, and they were still fighting with the Black Tiger Army without a fight.

Da Lang was anxious, ran to Zhao Dahai, and immediately asked: "Deputy Commander Zhao, please allow me to ride a horse to the river valley to see the battle situation." ”

Zhao Dahai made a big face at that time, and rebuked loudly: "Zhang Dalang, your task is to block the officers and soldiers from going south here, not to patrol the horses, you go back to the team for me, stay honest and don't move, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will cut you on the spot." ”

The first time Da Lang saw Uncle Zhao talking to him so harshly, he was too frightened to protest at the time, and ran back to the team in a gloomy manner.

The sergeant who had been sent out a long time ago came back in a short time, and whispered something in front of Zhao Dahai, but the voice was too small for everyone to hear, so they had to wait for Zhao Dahai to announce the results, but they saw Zhao Dahai gently wave his hand and say lukewarmly: "Explore again." He didn't speak again, but after the sergeant brother left, Zhao Dahai began to become irritable, and everyone's hearts became anxious.

At this time, it was already in the middle of the day, and a brother with pointed ears suddenly shouted: "Listen, listen, the sound of cannons and shouts of killing has stopped." When he said this, his face was already full of joy, which may indicate that his old camp had rushed out.

A sergeant patrol also galloped over, flew off the horse in front of Zhao Dahai, and said a few words to Zhao Dahai with a solemn face, but Zhao Dahai did not send people out to patrol the sentry this time, but sent more than a dozen close brothers to the southern pass place, not allowing anyone to come and go, and completely isolated his own group of men and horses from the outside world.

Time slowly disappeared in this anxious confrontation, pacing back and forth in Zhao Dahai's restless pacing, and the sky gradually darkened.

Just when everyone had just finished eating dry food and horse meat, and was on full alert, the south suddenly trumpeted again and shouted to kill the sky, which was very clear in this quiet night, and the entire south side illuminated by the fire in the sky was red, and even the border troops outside the pass could see it very clearly.

As the fire rose, the border army, which had been working with the Black Tiger Army brothers, suddenly began to form a team, row after row of officers and soldiers, lined up in a clear formation of troops in the large camp in a steady stream, as if there was no end, no head and tail.

Fortunately, the terrain outside the pass was narrow, and the officers and soldiers could not fully deploy when they came, so they could only form a long queue in the narrow valley, waiting for the upcoming battle.

All the people were nervous, this time, the officers and soldiers were really moving, this was to give their old camp a siege on all sides at the critical moment when the old camp broke through.

Now it depends on whether these brothers can withstand the attack of 20,000 officers and troops with less than 1,000 before the old camp breaks through.

Otherwise, your old battalion will be in danger of being wiped out, which is what military advisors often say about sacrificing one's life to fight to the death.

At this time, those brothers didn't know the battle situation in the old camp and were even more anxious, so they pushed Da Lang to come forward and ask the deputy commander about the situation, and in order to calm the army's heart, Da Lang ran to Zhao Dahai again and said to Zhao Dahai: "Deputy Commander Zhao, please inform the whole army of the battle situation in the south, so as to appease the army." ”

Zhao Dahai's eyes stood up, and he scolded loudly: "Military affairs, how can you hear about them?" Come on, tie up this bastard boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, and escort him to the back to wait for his fate. ”

Zhao Dahai suddenly made a difficulty, which made Da Lang inexplicable, Uncle Zhao would never treat him like this, and he rarely even scolded loudly, why did he suddenly change his face?

Just when his second monk couldn't figure his head, a group of men behind Zhao Dahai rushed out, tied up Dalang and dragged him to the back without saying a word.

Zhao Xiaozi looked at Zhao Dahai's actions in astonishment, not knowing what to say, at this time, Zhao Dahai suddenly asked, "Zhao Xiaozi, how do I treat you?" ”

Zhao Xiaozi was stunned by the question, but quickly replied: "Like his own nephew." ”

Zhao Dahai suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered, "Very good, then if I let you betray Woniu Mountain, are you willing?" ”
