(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) )

Ning Baoguan didn't bring back the good news, he saw with his own eyes that the cavalry of the righteous army was running in all directions, some of them even ran in the wrong direction, there were obviously no officers and soldiers behind him, but he was panicked like a lost dog, he didn't see King Jin and Tan Wufu, but it was certain that these two people were helpless about it.

Ning Baoguan did not intend to hide it, and as soon as he returned to the camp, he told the soldiers truthfully, causing a wail, and then he said: "Can two legs run over four legs?" They have horses, and they can run away if they want, but you can't. Born with two legs, it is used to stand, and it is better to face officers and soldiers than to give up their backs. ”

Ning Baoguan jumped off the horse, slapped it hard, drove away his mount, and let it run around at will, "Today, I'm standing here, no one wants me to take half a step back." Aren't they just officers and soldiers? Lao Tzu has seen and fought, if you are weak, he will be strong, never give you a way to live, if you are strong, he will be weak, and he will run faster than a rabbit. What big generals, small generals, what buildings are high and low, they are all like goods, and they will be broken when they are poked. In Qinzhou, Lao Tzu beat the general and fled in a hurry, this time Lao Tzu wants to take someone else's head! ”

The 1,000 cavalry left by Wu Yuejun did the same, all dismounted, drove their mounts out of the camp, and lined up around King Wu Yue, and it was this move that made the officers and men of the Chinese army quickly calm down.

Ning Baoguan didn't care about the arrangement of troops, walked to the front of the team, and was the first to go out of the camp, not planning to rely on the fence to protect himself, but to directly confront the officers and soldiers.

The generals each summoned their own soldiers and found a place to set up a formation, which looked a little chaotic, at least no one retreated.

Before the officers and soldiers arrived, Ning Baoguan beckoned to the king of Shu: "You go to see Xu Ji and Ma Wei, don't let these two chicks spoil my big things, if anyone can't hold their breath, bring me immediately and replace them in charge of the army." ”

Although Gan Zhao had already claimed the king, he was still as respectful to Ning Baoguan as before, and took the order to go, and met Chang Shunzhi, the general in the Wu military camp, halfway.

"When will the officers and soldiers call? How many people are there? Does King Wu want to ...... Do you prepare? Changshun asked when he met.

"No need, King Ning has his own arrangements." Having said that, Gan Zhao's heart sank, thinking that Xu Ji was cowardly and wanted to escape.

The scene he saw in the Wu military camp made Gan Zhao's doubts disappear, and he surrendered his hand, crossed the Chinese army, and went to the Liang army camp.

Ma Wei was another scene here, he had already prepared the tablets of the emperors of Liang, Jin, Shu, Jing, Wu and other countries, placed them together with his royal flags, and ordered his subordinates to worship in turn, and each swore an oath to avenge his homeland.

The soldiers did not have much nostalgia for the dead emperor, but the worship ceremony was supervised by Ma Wei himself, and the whole process was solemn and solemn, and those who worshipped couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, feeling that this battle really wanted to avenge some very important person.

Gan Zhao conveyed the news from the front, asked Liang Jun to prepare, and led people back to restore their lives.

The number of Chinese troops is the largest, Ning Baoguan is encouraging the generals to lead the troops one by one, he knows everyone, understands their preferences, even if they only know each other for two or three days, they can also say what is on the other side's mind, and they are generally the same as the word "benefit".

"The officers and soldiers killed your wife, and after entering the Eastern Capital, I will return you ten beauties, princesses, ladies, and young ladies, you can choose whatever you like."

"The treasure house in the palace, if you bring twenty people in, you can take as much as you want, depending on how strong you are."

……

Ning Baoguan returned to the front, standing with a lance in his hand, behind him were thousands of dismounted cavalry, all of whom were the elite of his own choice, and then there were groups of rebels.

"How?" Ning Baoguan asked.

Gan Zhao stepped forward and whispered back: "There is no problem on King Wu's side, King Liang's side can be used to take advantage of the victory to pursue, not to face the officers and soldiers directly." ”

"Hey, just don't run away with his troops."

"As long as the front can support him, he won't escape."

"Well, you go to the back and guard the camp, and whoever dares to retreat will kill whoever you want."

Gan Zhao led hundreds of henchmen in his headquarters to line up at the gate of the camp to supervise the battle.

Soon after the rebels formed a formation, scattered cavalry appeared in the distance, desperately fleeing, they should have run to the descending army, but the square inch was already chaotic, and when they saw the army, they met it, thinking that this was the camp of the descendant army, and they forgot that they had just left here two days ago.

"Shoot them." Ning Baoguan ordered that there were not many archers in the rebel army, only a few hundred, scattered in different teams.

"That's one of ours." The general next to him said in surprise.

Ning Baoguan scolded fiercely, "If you want to shoot, you will shoot, even if it is your mother in front and the King of Jin himself, you will shine on me." ”

The general hurried to give the order.

The archers fired in a haphazard manner, neither a salvo nor an accurate head, but it was enough to frighten the fleeing cavalry to turn around and run, and this time they finally found their way and ran towards the camp of the descendants.

There were more and more cavalrymen who were defeated and fled, and gradually showed a little formation, and they did not run around, and they did not stop when they passed through the Ningbaoguan army formation.

Officers and soldiers appeared, all cavalry, the ranks were more neat, and in order to maintain the formation, they preferred to slow down.

Some bold rebel cavalry often turned back to provoke the officers and soldiers, and a few people who were too bold fell into the ranks of the officers and soldiers and never came out again.

The officers and soldiers continued in a continuous stream, and it seemed to reach the horizon.

Ning Baoguan's deliberately selected position, roughly facing away from the setting sun, he didn't need to look back to know that the soldiers behind him had fallen into a panic, so he held the lance in both hands, roared, and was the first to walk towards the officers and soldiers.

The rebels have cymbals and drums, there are not many people who can understand the meaning, and even fewer people can use them, Ning Baoguan simply abandons it, he roars, and thousands of elites respond in unison, and the teams behind him also roar constantly.

The officers and men had already noticed the contingent on this side, and immediately divided into two groups, one group continued to chase the fleeing cavalry, and the other group met the "ambush soldiers".

The snow on the ground was thick, and the roads were better, and the cavalry and pedestrians trampled back and forth, and the snow was hard enough, but in the wasteland there was a pit that people could not walk fast, and the horses could not gallop.

The officers and men were a little disorganized, thinking that the rebels were still the same as before, and they were defeated by the wind, so they did not reorganize the formation, did not wait for the large army in the rear, and did not have enough bows and arrows.

The two armies clashed, Ning Baoguan had long forgotten his identity as the king of Wuyue, and stabbed at the nearest horse with a lance, and before he saw blood, he was already red-eyed.

The Wu army had also walked out of the camp, and the formation was not in order, at least it was no longer mixed together, and no one left its position without permission.

The sunset was falling rapidly, the sky was getting darker and darker, the sound of fighting in front was getting louder and louder, and the people who heard it were terrified.

Xu Ji noticed that Ning Baoguan had given up all the cavalry, and he also dismounted and led the whole army to the battlefield.

Although the rebel army has a commander, there is no clear commander's order, and Xu Ji can make his own decisions.

He felt that he could go to war, and the longer he waited, the more timid the soldiers became.

Although King Wu said that the soldiers of the headquarters only need to defend the camp, at this time, no one raised any objections, and the scene of the two generals being killed is still firmly imprinted in the hearts of everyone.

Xu Ji led his army into the battlefield from the flank, and he arrived just in time for the arrival of a large group of officers and soldiers, many of whom were infantry, and the two sides quickly fell into a melee.

When he attacked the camp of officers and soldiers in Runan City before, Xu Ji had scattered with his subordinates and almost died because of it, Tang Weitian remembered the lesson, and this time he followed very tightly, still with a stick pinned to his waist, holding a double knife, and cut down all those who dared to approach, and almost hit his own people several times.

The Liang army on the other flank did not enter the battle.

The main general Pan Kailai asked a few times, and Ma Wei's answer was only one sentence, "Wait for the order of King Wu Yue, don't move without permission." ”

"The sky is about to dark, and the fierce battle is in full swing, and King Wu Yue is afraid that he will not be able to pass the order."

"Don't worry." Ma Wei smiled, "When it comes to leading troops, I'm not as good as you, and when it comes to the art of war, I know everything. King Wu Yue is more than brave, but his strategy is not enough......"

"I heard that the Wu army has also joined the war." Pan Kai reminded that this is the news he just reported not long ago.

Ma Wei snorted, "King Wu is strategic, he is in a hurry, he often can't bear his temperament, and he takes risks in person, which is not only the style of a strategist, but also has no appearance of a king." He rashly entered the battle, causing the rebels to lose one wing, and if the officers and soldiers broke the rebels, they would dig a passage from him. ”

Pan Kai turned his head and looked, there was only a trace of afterglow left in the sunset, the rebels had been stationed here for many days, he still couldn't tell the direction, let alone where the Chinese army was, where was the flank, and it was estimated that the officers and soldiers also couldn't distinguish things.

"Do you want to ask the King of Shu? He's ......"

"The incompetent man of the King of Shu, what do you ask him?" Ma Wei said dissatisfiedly.

Guo Shifeng stayed by King Liang's side and interjected: "General Pan, don't be in a hurry, King Liang is right, the two armies are fighting, don't use too much force too quickly and too violently, there is a steady stream of officers and soldiers, but our army only has this one left, and we have to leave some reserves." ”

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Pan Kai retired and ordered the soldiers to wait on the spot.

When the cold air hit, the soldiers stomped their feet on the spot, secretly glad that they did not need to participate in the battle, and at the same time hoped that the battle ahead would end soon, so that they could return to the camp to light a fire to keep warm.

Guo Shifeng whispered to Ma Wei: "There has been no movement for a long time, the army is suspicious, it is right that King Liang does not participate in the war, but something should be done to avoid demoralization." ”

"I have a claim." The more anxious the others, the more calm and relaxed Ma Wei was, and waited for another quarter of an hour, after the sky was completely dark, he ordered the whole army to move forward, out of a stone's throw away, he ordered to stop, and ordered people to come forward to watch the battle, "If you see King Wu Yue, immediately ask for your life, saying that the Liang army is ready to fight, just give an order, and immediately participate in the battle." ”

The dispatcher came back quickly, and he only saw that the melee was still going on, and he couldn't tell the winner from the loser, let alone find the figure of King Wu Yue.

The Liang army was not too far from the battlefield, and the sound of killing was in the ears, so there was no need to watch, and he knew that the war was not over.

Ma Wei continued to send people to check, stayed where he was, and commanded the Liang army to advance some distance.

A spy hurried back, "Our army retreats!" Our army retreats! ”

Ma Wei was shocked, and was about to order the army to retreat back to the camp immediately, Guo Shifeng reminded: "Listening to the voice in front doesn't look like a defeat and retreating, King Liang waits." ”

When the defeat was defeated, the shouts were chaotic, but although the shouts on the battlefield were loud this time, they didn't sound very chaotic.

Ma Wei calmed himself down, and after a while, the second spy really brought back another piece of news, "The officers and soldiers will withdraw first, and our army will also withdraw, saying that it will fight again tomorrow." ”

"Who wins and who loses?" Mavi asked.

The spy looked dazed, he only came into contact with a few rebel soldiers, he didn't dare to go deep into the battlefield, and he had no way to understand the victory or defeat, "It should be...... It should be the officers and soldiers who won, right? ”

Guo Shifeng reminded in time, "Probably regardless of victory or defeat, both sides retreated, so they did not break up." ”

Ma Wei nodded and ordered the whole army to move forward, still holding back the speed, unwilling to go too fast.

A large number of people approached him, Pan Kai rode forward and said loudly: "King Liang is here, who is in front of him?" ”

"King Wu Yue." Someone replied.

Ma Wei hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and hurried to meet him.

Ning Baoguan was covered in blood, still holding a lance in his hand, followed by a large number of soldiers, all covered with blood, only his eyes were still clean, and he looked aggressive in the night.

Ma Wei stepped forward, his heart was weak, and he couldn't help but kneel.

Ning Baoguan reversed the long lance and gently supported it with the end, "You come to guard the camp tonight." After a pause, he said again: "Are you studying in the same place as Wu Wangzhen?" What was learned was different. ”

Ma Wei's face flushed, and it was not Ning Baoguan who complained, but Xu Ji, who he hadn't seen yet.
