In a mountain recess in Mamaiya City, Duan Lang's department has been hidden here for a while. Although the weather was already cold, the guards were not as thin and miserable as they had imagined. The surrounding counties and towns were plundered by them, although it was a bit cruel to the common people, but it was out of desperation.

On this day, Duan Lang finally waited for the news of Da Fei. After reading the letter from Tantai Mingyue, Duan Lang's face was cloudy and uncertain, with joy and worry. He was glad that Vupor Khan had finally seen through the situation and the peace talks between the two sides, but he was worried that Nanping Ying Shoushan had actually planted so many spies into them. It is even said that there is currently Nanping undercover by Duan Lang's side. Another worry is that the martial arts cultivator will not really join forces with him.

Duan Lang summoned Zhou Long and the others over, and looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Duan Lang said firmly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final battle is coming. After Lu Mu is destroyed, let's go back to the capital city and celebrate. ”

Hearing the news, everyone couldn't help but shout. Especially Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others, the cold weather was so cold that they couldn't even hold the long knife. Unlike the other people's wax spears, their long knives and Duan Lang's halberds were made of stainless steel. As soon as the weather changed, the long knife was piercing like cold iron.

Zhou Long couldn't help but ask, "Duan Shuai, when will you start?" ”

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait a few more days." Duan Lang said.

"Wait? It's going to snow sometimes. I really don't know if these brothers under my command can withstand this kind of cold. "Zhou Wudao.

"If the military advisor doesn't come, of course we have to wait. Otherwise, with our current soldiers and horses, how can we kill Lu Muna's kid. Zhang Qifeng looked at Zhou Wu and teased.

Duan Lang looked at everyone and said solemnly, "Don't worry, listen to me finish speaking." The military division has already held peace talks with Vupor Khan, and it can be said that it has been very successful. However, in order to prevent accidents, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Ming Dynasty under the military division could only stay in the area of Qiyang Mountain. ”

"What?" Zhou Long was anxious when he heard this, "Duan Shuai, the soldiers and horses of the military division can't come, and with only more than 30,000 of us, we can't complete the last battle." Unless, eat part of Lu Mu's troops and then evacuate. ”

Zhang Qifeng also said, "Yes, there are many soldiers and horses in Mamaiya City, and at present, Lu Mu's kid seems to be waiting for the snowy weather." If we really fight in the ice and snow, I'm afraid our combat effectiveness will be weakened a lot. ”

Duan Lang raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be calm and calm, "Brothers, of course, this battle can't only be fought with our troops. According to the secret agreement of Vupor Khan, the Martial Law Order secretly led its troops to join forces with us to kill Lu Mu. ”

"Martial Law Cultivation? Generalissimo Moro actually joined forces with us? Duan Shuai, the last general feels that there may be fraud in this. Zhou Wu said worriedly.

"General Zhou Wu is right, even if the Moro army can come, I'm afraid it won't really fight. When the time comes, it is likely that we will be pitted into it. Chen Qi also said.

Duan Lang hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, Ben Shuai, like you, is also worried about this aspect. But Yue'er made it clear in the letter, and he made me believe this person. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Zhou Long asked strangely, "Why, Master Military Master thinks he will fight hard with Lu Mu?" ”

Duan Lang nodded, "Mingyue said in the letter that this person is trustworthy. ”

Duan Lang said, and simply took out the letter written by Mingyue and asked everyone to pass it on and read it. When everyone looked at it, everyone's face showed surprise. No one expected that this letter would contain so much content.

Duan Lang said, "Everyone, as for what kind of person this martial arts cultivator is, I will know when Ben Shuai meets him." Let's talk about another thing. ”

Zhou Long and the others understood another thing that Duan Lang was referring to, which was the undercover agents hidden in their army.

Zhou Long looked at everyone and said to Duan Lang, "Duan Shuai, if you check it now, I'm afraid~." ”

Duan Lang interrupted, "Of course I can't check it, the brothers are fighting outside, and as the commander-in-chief, I must trust them." Otherwise, the instability of the military spirit will be extremely harmful. However, it is also necessary to prevent these people from causing big things. After the martial arts are cultivated, this battle must be a battle of ambush. So, from now on, all the plans of action will only be communicated to you. When it is implemented, it can be communicated to the personnel above the commander. Until the last minute, the final intention will never be revealed. As for the inventory, we will talk about it after returning home. ”

Zhang Qifeng said, "Duan Shuai, although the 20,000 new troops I brought were mixed into various camps, the last general also made statistics. After several battles, they still have more than 10,000 people left. The last general felt that when the war was over, all the new armies would be reassigned to our department. I have left all of them in the camps in China, and it is more convenient to find out. ”

Duan Lang nodded, "Well, when the war is over, let's see how many of these new armies are left." When the time comes, rejoin your camp. But everyone remember, this matter is only known to those of us, and we are not allowed to discuss it again before the big war. ”

"No!" The generals agreed in a low voice, but there were waves in their hearts. As a general in the army, no one wants to have undercover agents from other countries around him. In particular, once the plan to annihilate the enemy is leaked, it is likely to lead to the annihilation of the battle array to which they belong.

At this time, in Mamaiya City, Lu Mu and the others were also anxiously waiting for news. Since Long Mu released the family sparrowhawk, there has been no news of it. And the normal fast horse intelligence transmission of the military department, there is no major news. It was even said that Shangguan Xuanwu did not even mention the matter of going to the peace talks. But Long Mu was still lucky, he thought that it might be the weather, which caused the family to be unable to let Sparrowhawk deliver the news.

In the palace, Long Mu walked back and forth anxiously. He also thought that there might be an abnormality on the side of the family, but Long Mu didn't believe that the court dared to touch his family when he had a heavy army. Even if he wants to move, Long Mu will probably wait until this battle is over to settle down.

In the hall of the backyard, Lu Mu put his hands on the brazier to keep warm. Seeing Long Mu walking back and forth restlessly, Lu Mu didn't raise his head and said softly.

"Don't think about it, there's probably something going on over there in Yaks City. Otherwise, your Dragon Clan shouldn't have been without news for so long. ”

Long Mu's face changed, but he shook his head firmly, "Lu Dudu, I think it's very likely that His Majesty hasn't reached a deal with Shangguan Xuanwu yet, and the people of my Long family are still waiting for the opportunity to do it." In addition, the weather is cold and windy, and the sparrowhawk is not a falcon, so it is easy to fly in the wrong direction. Even the Ministry of War is currently passing news from station to station. In this cold and changeable climate, domesticated flight feathers are difficult to use. ”

Lu Mu was slightly stunned, and it made sense to think about it carefully. After all, Lu Mu didn't know how strong the sparrowhawk's teleportation ability was, and it was rare for birds to return to their nests in this kind of weather. Even the flying carrier pigeons used by them in Nanping will be changed to fast horses in the harsh winter.

Lu Mu straightened up and said, "If Wupol Khan's side can delay, it would be better, as long as the heavy snow comes, we will immediately launch a large-scale attack on Duan Lang." The snow is long and can make their quick transfer worthless. Losing the advantage of fast movement, even a war of attrition can exhaust them. On the other hand, our Moros Xiyue soldiers are adapted to the severe cold, and their combat effectiveness will be reduced for a long time, and they will definitely be able to kill that section of Lang in the Mamaia City war zone. ”

"Lu Dudu, do you think that Duan Lang will take the initiative to evacuate?" Long Mu suddenly asked.

Lu Mu thought for a while, "There is such a possibility, but with my understanding of Duan Lang, this person is extremely competitive, even if he leaves, he will fight with us before evacuating." Therefore, we must be vigilant these days. ”

Long Mu nodded, "I hope this thief doesn't leave, even if he wants to leave, the local division will chase and kill all the way." This thief is not dead, and the local division cannot explain it to His Majesty. ”

Lu Mu smiled, "Don't worry, that Duan Lang hates me to the core, as long as I am still in Mamaiya City, it is estimated that he will not leave easily." It is even said that this kid would rather survive the harsh winter than let me Lu Mu go so easily. ”

Long Muxin said that it was better, Duan Lang was his only chance to turn the tables. Only by taking down or killing Duan Lang can Long Mu be exempted from his guilt. Otherwise, I am afraid that what awaits him will be a tragic end.

Within the city of Mamaia, although it has become a war zone, there are still merchants in the past who ventured to earn the money of the war. Due to the sacking of Zhou Long's department, there are no decent freight yards and inns in the city. In the past, most of the merchants stayed in the forage yard on the side of the barracks. In the rows of dilapidated houses, several of Long Mu's generals quietly gathered together, plotting with a man who seemed to be a trader.

The structure of Moro soldiers and horses is different from that of the Northern Ming Dynasty, although Moro is also a tribal system, but the barracks are scattered. Under the command of the clan generals, it is never allowed to exceed a certain percentage of their own guards. In this regard, the original Emperor of Moro was more far-sighted than the Northern Ming. It was precisely because of this that Wu Fa Xiu dared to be sure that Long Mu's subordinates would never dare to rebel against Wu Pol Khan. I thought that these generals did not dare to tie the fate of the tribe to Long Mu's body.

The north wind was howling, and the weather in the city of Mamaia was getting colder by the day. The night before the arrival of the martial arts cultivators, a heavy snow covered the vast land. It was snowy, but it made Lu Mu and Long Mu excited. Lu Mu was going to send scouts tomorrow afternoon, looking for traces of Duan Lang's army in the surrounding area. As long as he found traces, Lu Mu would immediately command his troops and horses to encircle and suppress. The fire couldn't kill Duan Lang, Lu Mu didn't believe that this harsh ice and snow could still allow Duan Lang to escape from his encirclement.

Duan Lang was hiding in the recess of the mountain, looking at the snow-covered mountain forest, and his heart was also very anxious. Da Fei kept patrolling around in the air, and once he found the situation, he immediately alerted and chirped. Duan Lang was not worried about these scouts, but he was worried that the heavy snow would block the road, which would delay the arrival of the martial arts cultivation army.

Tweeted~! Dafei in the air let out a few chirps. Duan Lang's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and responded a few times in the air. After receiving Da Fei's response, Duan Lang was convinced that Wu Faxiu's soldiers and horses had arrived at the location negotiated by Mingyue.

"Summon, gather the generals."

Duan Lang gave an order, and after a while, Zhou Long, Zhou Wu and others all arrived. Duan Lang informed everyone that the martial arts cultivators had arrived, and he would go to see them immediately. Duan Lang ordered Zhou Long, Zhou Wu and others to closely guard the camp to prevent it from being discovered by enemy scouts. After the arrangement, Duan Lang took Gu Fan Xiangtian and other eighteen personal guards, walked through the snow and ran to the camp where the martial arts were hidden.

In a sparse jungle nearly forty miles away from Mamaia City, the martial arts cultivators set up camp and sent a large number of scouts to closely monitor the direction of Mamaia City. As soon as a scout is spotted, kill it immediately. Moreover, before the heavy snow fell, Duan Lang also made some countermeasures, specially sending troops on the other side of Mamaiya City. Therefore, most of Lu Mu's scouts were sent to the other side, and Wu Faxiu's side was far away, and secondly, it was not the focus of exploration.

The sun sets, but it doesn't look dark in the snowy night. Wu Faxiu was sitting in the car wrapped in a blanket of animal skin, and he was waiting for Duan Lang's arrival. Wu Fa Xiu didn't doubt that Duan Lang couldn't find him, this place must have been chosen by Yutai Mingyue, and he felt that Duan Lang should have arranged scouts here in advance. Although Wu Faxiu's scout camp found no trace of anyone, the old prince firmly believed that Duan Lang had received the news.

Rubbing, the sound of stepping on snow sounded, and then, someone outside the car whispered, "Your Highness Qiqi, I scout brought a person, he said that he had something important to see His Royal Highness." ”

Wu Faxiu was stunned for a moment, "Just one person?" ”

"Yes, bring only one person."

Wu Faxiu frowned, "Bring him over." ”

After a while, several pro-soldiers came to the front of Wu Faxiu's car with a man. Wu Faxiu watched from the window and didn't speak.

The man clenched his fists and said, "Presumably this is the prince of martial arts cultivation." Under the command of the commander of the lower Dali country, Gu Fan is also, on the order of my lord, I specially came to invite the prince to see. ”

Gu Fan said, took out the token in his bag and handed it to the soldier beside him. Wu Faxiu took the token presented by his own soldiers, looked at it, nodded and said.

"General Gu Fan is famous, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today. But I don't know, where did you meet the Emperor of the Mountain? ”

"Three miles away, on the road leading to the city of Mamaia. My family Duan Shuai, with me and other eighteen personal guards, waiting for the prince. ”

Wu Fa Xiu thought for a while, "Okay, this king will go with you." When someone came, thirty personal soldiers were ordered to follow, and the others waited in place. Inform Lord Taifu, and say that this king will meet Emperor Jishan for a while, so don't worry. ”

Wu Faxiu made arrangements and followed Gu Fan with thirty personal soldiers. This meeting is different from the last time with Tantai Mingyue. At that time, both of them were still hostile, after all, there was no real relief. But now, Wu Faxiu didn't worry about anything, and even his life and death had been handed over to Tantai Mingyue in advance.

On the official road three miles away from the martial arts cultivation camp, Duan Lang stood in the middle of the road facing the wind. Xiang Tian and the others were distributed around, and there was also the corpse of a Xiyue scout lying not far away.

Duan Lang's angular face had a hint of murder. From the traces of horses' hooves left along the way, Duan Lang thought of their hidden army. It seems that it is very difficult to hide so many people from being discovered in the middle of the ice and snow. Based on his past experience, Duan Lang knew that Lu Mu would analyze their hiding place within two days. Once the soldiers and horses move, it is easier to be chased by the opponent's trail. After all, such a large team can't hide the traces of walking at all. Duan Lang decided that he must reach a plan with Wu Fa Xiu tonight, otherwise they would become a passive party.

"Duan Shuai, they're here." Xiang Tian reminded softly.

Duan Lang didn't get on the horse, and looked into the distance with a majestic gaze. Xiang Tian and the others also dismounted, holding long knives and lining up on both sides. In the cold wind, Duan Lang and the others stood on top of the ice and snow. Don't look at the fact that there are only a dozen people, but there is a majesty that cannot be offended.
