It was noon, the scorching sun was high, the dry earth raised bursts of squinting smoke and dust, and on the winding official road, more than 10,000 imperial soldiers lined up in a long snake formation to march forward against the scorching sun.

In order to leave this place where birds do not lay eggs as soon as possible, and in order to go back to the business as soon as possible, Ma Ying did not allow the army to stop for a moment, and insisted on letting everyone hurry up.

He was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and everyone in the army criticized him very much, but no one dared to say it. The fierce reputation of Jinyiwei is enough to deter the regular army of such a court!

The soldiers braved the scorching heat, one by one sweating, and many of the water bottles they had brought before leaving in the morning were empty.

Thirsty lips were parched by the heat, and the entire army was completely immersed in a listless mood. But because he was afraid of Jinyiwei, he had to continue to move forward.

Ma Ying looked at the army that was getting slower and slower, the expression on his face was terrifying, and he had already urged him to speed up more than once. But the truth is always getting slower and slower, especially when the soldiers of the entire army are outrageously scattered.

It is estimated that if a group of thieves suddenly come out, these people in front of them will only be slaughtered, and they probably don't even have the heart to resist.

A trace of hesitation flashed on the faces of Ma Ying's two personal guards, and finally he persuaded him: "Commander, why don't we let them all rest for a while, otherwise if they continue like this, it is estimated that most of them will die of heat stroke." ”

The expression on Ma Ying's face was cloudy, and it was a long time before he heard him say angrily: "Damn, a bunch of rubbish!" No wonder the civil unrest in Shaanxi has not calmed down for so long, it turns out that such a group of wastes are in control! ”

The generals of the imperial army rode horses and walked with Ma Ying at this moment, and when they heard Ma Ying actually scolding them like this, a trace of displeasure flashed on the faces of the two generals at the same time, but they quickly hid it.

The defenders of Luoyang City, the commander of the army, is the deputy general who led the troops. The other is to garrison Sima Yu, who is the main general of the army this time.

Both of them are among the more outstanding generals of the defenders of Luoyang City, and this time it was also because of the urgency of Jinyiwei that they hurriedly dispatched this 10,000-strong army to support.

But I never expected that when I retired, I would get such treatment from Jinyiwei. was even scolded as a waste directly by the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Yun Luo and Sima Yu glanced at each other, and from each other's eyes, they both saw anger. It's just that as generals with troops, they are more afraid of these brocade guards, once they offend these people, sometimes they are more aggrieved than dying on the battlefield, and if they don't do it well, their families will be ruined.

Enduring the bitterness in his chest, Sima Yu, as the highest commander of the whole army, had to stand up and say a few words for his subordinates. So he hesitated, organized the language, and then respectfully said to Ma Yingjin: "Commander, this weather is too hot, the soldiers have not eaten a grain of rice since the morning, and if they continue like this, I am afraid that there will be an accident, so it is better to rest for a while, let the soldiers take a breath and eat something before going on the road." ”

Sima Yu's posture was very low, and he didn't dare to have the slightest anger in his tone, and he looked like he was angry. Yun Luo, who was connected to the side, frowned when he saw it!

Yunluo was born in the military, and he has gone all the way from an ordinary soldier to the current Qianzong, completely killing with real skills. He has a bold personality and likes to go straight, if he hadn't been afraid of the identity of the other party's commander, he would have drawn his sword to face each other.

Ma Ying, who had been gloomy and had a bad tone, suddenly smiled at Sima Yu, and then said, "Since General Sima has spoken, let's stop and rest for an hour." But after an hour, the whole army must speed up and reach Luoyang City before dark! ”

Sima Yu hesitated for a moment, and firmly promised: "I will not live up to the command's orders, if the whole army cannot reach Luoyang City before dark, Sima Yu will sacrifice his head to apologize to the commander." ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

After the two made a verbal agreement, Sima Yu immediately communicated the whole army, and hurried to the open place in front of him to rest for an hour.

When the imperial army heard the news, they were in high spirits and hurried to an open space less than a mile ahead. Then they began to scatter, each looking for a cooler place to lie down and rest.

On the hill three miles away, Xu Fuju and Adou looked carefully, and the two found that the imperial army suddenly stopped to rest and no longer continued to hurry.

In this way, the ambush they had already arranged was useless, and now whether to continue to wait or quietly lean up to kill has become a difficult problem for the two of them.

Adou proposed viciously: "Why don't we take people to kill them now, they seem to be very tired, this is a good time for us to sneak attack." ”

Xu Fuzuo's eyes were still observing those imperial soldiers, and he said without looking back: "Now is indeed the best time for a sneak attack, but the location is not very ideal. The general soldier's intention is that we must kill the commander of the brocade guard, and in such an open place, we only have 20,000 soldiers and horses to surround it, and it is easy for him to escape. ”

Adou was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said uncertainly: "Big brother means to continue to wait, no matter how many enemies he kills, but mainly to kill the commander of the brocade guard, right?" ”

When Xu Fuzuo heard this, he turned to look at Adou in surprise, with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect you kid to be quite smart." Yes, the main purpose of this time is to kill those brocade guards, and none of them are allowed to run away. As for those imperial armies, they don't pose any threat to us at all, at least not for now! ”

Adou suddenly got Xu Fuzhuo's approval, a hint of joy flashed on his immature face, nodded and said, "I know, I heard that those brocade guards are all extraordinary, and I will meet them later." ”

Xu Fuzuo smiled and didn't say much, and then the two retreated from the hill bag, let the herald pass the order, and continue to ambush without any chaos.

The time in waiting is the most difficult, and an hour is not long or short. For the imperial army, it seems to pass in the blink of an eye, but for the waiting Dongjiang army, it is extremely long.

Finally, an hour passed, and the imperial army began to reassemble and then hit the road under the order of Jinyiwei.

Seeing the imperial army that continued to hurry, Xu Fuzuo and Adou both breathed a sigh of relief, and the wait for an hour was as long as a year, which made people suffer a lot!

"Pass the order, let everyone prepare for the attack immediately, and in half an hour, the imperial army will enter the ambush site." Xu Fuyu whispered to the heralds around him.

The Dongjiang army ambushed on both sides of the official road soon received the news, and everyone was shocked, and they all sharpened their knives and prepared to kill!
