Ten miles out of the official road, there is a potholed dirt road in front of it, and there are large fields of wilderness on both sides. Leizhou is only an inferior military state, and the road conditions are naturally not good, and it is very good to have ten miles of official roads. With Liu Xiaozhong's order to march urgently, the army of 2,000 men and horses that entered the dirt road was slowly divided into three groups: the forward 500 men and horses opened the road, the Chinese army 800 men and horses were dispatched, and the rear of the palace was the baggage and guard battalion. The distance between the three groups of men and horses is more than ten miles, and from time to time there are sentinels galloping in the space between the three groups of people and horses, conveying instructions and maintaining close ties between the various groups of people and horses.

Leizhou in August, the degree of heat is almost the same as Qiongzhou across the sea, marching on a hot day, it is such a mud and wasteland, the army marches, the sand and dust are all over the sky, the eyes can not be opened, the mouth can not speak, that is called a sweat like rain, miserable.

Tu Laosan's battalion is the forward, under the scorching sun, marching all the way, tired as dogs, his beard is all gray and dusty, and a face has also turned into a gray face, sweat washes out black and yellow sweat stains on it, his two nostrils are stuffed with mud and dust, and with a hard blow, two lumps of mud and dirt are sprayed.

At this time, the forward flying horse galloped from the front of the team to the end of the team to convey the order: "Slow march, slow march." ”

One by one, the sergeants staggered as if they had been granted amnesty, panting like bellows.

Tu Laosan wiped off the muddy snot with his sleeves, didn't care whether it was on his beard or not, dragged his legs like lead, moved slowly, and shouted at the soldiers under his hands as he walked: "Walk up for Lao Tzu, don't let anyone fuck stop......"

Some soldiers lamented: "Brother Tu, I can't walk anymore......"

"If you can't walk, you have to go, are you a vegetarian when you are a military judge?" Tu Laosan gasped, "You have been able to fucking practice for nothing in the past few months, and you can't bear this little road?" ”

"No, it's too hot, it's going to kill you!" The soldier removed the water bladder from his waist, pulled out the soft plug, and poured it violently. I poured it too quickly, choked out, and coughed non-stop.

"Take it easy, you have to hurry later, everyone should replenish the water." Tu Laosan also took off the water bladder and poured it violently.

At a glance, this vanguard army is pouring water one after another from beginning to end. Everyone knew that changing the rapid march to a slow march was not to sympathize with them from above, but to routinely explore the road by the sentinels, and when the news of safety came from the front, they would be exhausted again.

Tie up the water bladder, Tu Laosan counted it, and three more soldiers in the team fell behind. From the time he left the city to this meeting, nearly ten of his soldiers had been left behind. Less than halfway through the trip, one-fifth of the troops were missing, how to fight this battle?

Tu Laosan's face was gloomy, full of resentment, and he missed the days when he guarded the city gate.

At this time, a fire chief put his hand on the pergola, squinted his eyes and looked ahead for a while, and said, "Brothers, be relieved, the road ahead is much easier." ”

"How does Brother Wang know?"

"I'm still Li ...... When his subordinates were subordinate, they had escorted a batch of military funds to Shilong, so it was right to take this road. ”

"Is the road ahead wider or is it a stone road? Not so much mud? ”

"No, the road is as wide and narrow, but it's a mountain road, and it's a mountain road with trees overhead."

When the soldiers heard this, they were immediately excited, if they could travel under such a scorching sun, if they could have a green shade above their heads, it would be a gift from God!

More than ten miles away, under the banner of the Chinese army, Liu Xiaozhong put on a helmet with a horsewhip, squinted his eyes a little dazzling, looked at the faint mountain peak in front of him, and exhaled: "It's almost time to reach the bullpen pass, where the shade is dense and the mountain breeze is cool, it is best to hurry, and the soldiers can finally take a breath." ”

The general next to him said: "Yes, turn over the bullpen pass, and walk more than 20 miles of mountain roads, you can enter Suixi." As long as we can catch up with the front and block the Huazhou army coming from Shilong, we will definitely let them bump into each other and break the bloodstream. ”

Shilong is the Huazhou Governor's Office, and Suixi is the only market town on the route from Shilong to Leizhou. Suixi belongs to Leizhou, if you can arrive one step ahead of the enemy, relying on the fortifications of Suixi City, and waiting for work, you will be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. The distance from Leizhou to Suixi and the Huazhou army from Shilong to Suixi is almost the same. In terms of time, the Huazhou army set off first, but in order to confuse the Leizhou Song army, they made a big detour and lost the opportunity. Although the Song army attacked late, it was very likely that the last strike would arrive first - provided that the march was fast enough. Therefore, Liu Xiaozhong did not hesitate to exhaust the troops, but also rushed to Suixi first. Suixi belongs to Leizhou, as long as the troops can enter the city smoothly, even if the soldiers' physical strength and combat power are damaged, they can take advantage of the home field to slowly recover and enter the battle.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Liu Xiaozhong did not rush to the road, but asked the troops to change the rapid march to a normal march, and then sent more sentry scouts to reconnoiter the Niupen Pass, showing the caution and thoroughness that a general should have. At the same time, he sent his personal guards to gallop straight to Suixi with a warrant to get in touch with the local guards to understand the situation.

Half an hour later, news came from the bullpen that no anomalies were found. Liu Xiaozhong then gave the order, and the whole army quickly passed through the bullpen pass.

When the forward troops of the Song army had just crossed the mountain col and descended, news came from Suixi that no trace of the enemy was found.

"God help me!" It was only at this time that Liu Xiaozhong's hanging heart finally let go, and he issued an order again, "Marching at full speed, at the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, the whole army will enter the city." ”

As the vanguard of the troops, Tu Laosan, as the battalion rushed into the city, the drawbridge in front of the moat rumbled and shook under the trampling of dozens of galloping horses and hundreds of feet, the iron chains trembled, and the mud and sand rushed down, causing the water in the moat to splash everywhere.

Before Tu Laosan stepped on the suspension bridge, he inadvertently looked up at the city, his face was first confused, then surprised, and finally turned white and stopped. Instead of moving forward, they were busy retreating.

"Tu Laosan, what are you doing?"

"Brother Tu, what's wrong?"

"Ouch, my feet...... Day you mother! Old Tu, you bastard, what are you trying to squeeze back! ”

Tu Laosan never expected that he just looked up and actually saw several comrades in the same battalion when he was in the battle of Yushan. If it was only one or two, he would only treat these people as either captured or surrendered, and change the court like him, but there were nearly ten of them. And two of them are the personal guards of the deputy thousand households, and they have been staying in Guangzhou well, and nothing happened at all. Such a situation can only illustrate......

At this time, Tu Laosan's heart was cold, his face was pale, and he suddenly screamed like a chicken pinched by the neck: "There is an ambush!" It's the Yuan Army! ”

As Tu Laosan screamed, there was a commotion in the forward of the Song army, and many people's footsteps were not only slow.

A gong sounded at the head of the city, and the figures poked out of the city, and bursts of piercing bowstrings rang out, and countless sharp arrows flashed cold light at the Song army under the city.

Another gong sounded, and the arrows were fired in unison, and the arrows were like locusts, and the Song army turned on their backs. Many sergeants fell from the not wide suspension bridge, and the water column on the moat rose into the sky, screaming and screaming.

A few miles away in the rear, Liu Xiaozhong, who had not yet entered the city, was so shocked that he hurriedly stopped his horse and shouted: "Go back!" Go back! ”

Liu Zi rolled the flag upside down, and the rear army became the front army, turned around in a hurry, and went straight to the baggage team behind the team.

Before he ran out of Erli, a sentry rider sweated like a waterfall, galloped over, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and his face was shocked: "Governor, the big thing is not good, a large force of Yuan troops appeared in the bullpen pass, cutting off our back road......"

Liu Xiaozhong's hands and feet were cold for a while, and he hissed: "With the little strength of the Huazhou Army, how can it be possible to do this step?!" Can you see the enemy's flag, which way is it? ”

Before the sentry could answer, the general next to him suddenly pointed to the head of Suixi City and shouted, "Take a look." ”

Liu Xiaozhong looked back, but saw a row of recognition flags erected at the head of Suixi City, and the gold-edged moire in the middle was particularly eye-catching: Marshal Zhang of the Mongolian and Han armies!

"Zhang Hongfan!" Liu Xiaozhong screamed and almost fell off the horse.
