Section 5 Fight with all your might
South of Anmin Mountain, on the shore of Mata Lake.
The microwave rippling water of Mata Lake is like a huge mirror under the sunlight, reflecting the scenery of the lakeside in it, like a symmetrical picture.
At this time, a huge camp had been established on the shore of Mata Lake, and the Wenxiang Sect army led by Xu Hongru was encamping here. In the huge camp, 2,000 Guardian King Kong gathered tightly around Xu Hongru's big tent and set up dozens of tents in the center of the camp; The rest of the nearly 5,000 people in the sect were scattered around the Guardian King Kong to rest, and Xu Hongru and the Guardian King Kong were tightly surrounded in the middle. The whole camp is arranged in an orderly manner, and at first glance it is carefully planned.
On the north side of the Matao Lake, there is a pergola temporarily built on the slope of a small hill, at this time Xu Hongru is watching the entire camp with Shen Zhi, Xia Zhongjin, Zhang Cambodia, Hou Wu, Zhou Nian'an, Meng Xianhan, several helmsmen, and Chen Canyu, a think tank.
Chen Canyu pointed to the entire camp and explained for a while, and said to Xu Hongru with a smile: "Sect Master, please see, the entire camp was planned together with Lord Shen Helm, and completed with the assistance of the rest of the Helmsmen. The entire camp is extremely rigorously arranged, even if there is an enemy attacking, it can be immovable and calmly deal with it! ”
Under Chen Canyu's explanation, Xu Hongru watched it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Very good, it can be seen that you are all attentive, in the future, the people and horses in the sect will be arranged like this when marching outside, and the enemy must not be given any opportunity to take advantage of!" Everyone nodded yes.
Then, Chen Canyu said, "Sect Master, how long do we have to wait here?" It is reported that the Hanwei battalion has already pounced on An Min Mountain, and it is estimated that it has now become a mess with Wang Haoxian's department. ”
"Don't worry, it's not the time yet." The old god Xu Hongru said: "I have already sent spies to Anmin Mountain to check, and it is not too late to make a decision after receiving specific news." This battle is not trivial, we must plan and move, and we must not take the enemy lightly! ”
Chen Canyu nodded on the surface, but sighed in his heart: "The two sides have started to fight now, and now if you don't bet at this critical juncture, if you want to make a decision after the Hanwei camp and Wang Haoxian have divided the winners and losers, it will be too late!" At that time, if the Hanwei battalion had won a miserable victory, it would have been fine, if Wang Haoxian had won, or if the Hanwei battalion had not suffered much loss, then the people in the sect might have been unstable, or they would have been defeated! ”
However, Chen Canyu has always known how to advance and retreat, and at this time, seeing that Xu Hongru was full of ambition, he also knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he kept silent.
That night, after Xu Hongru inspected the camp again, he returned to his tent to rest. The spies sent by Xu Hongru did not come back to report the news that night, and this night was a little strangely calm. However, neither Xu Hongru, nor Chen Canyu, Shen Zhi and others noticed it, and everyone was waiting for the news that the spies were going to bring back.
The summer sun rises exceptionally early, and in the early morning, Mata Lake is covered with a layer of charming morning glow, which illuminates the clear lake water exceptionally beautifully.
Xu Hongru also finished freshening up early, and was sitting alone in the tent eating breakfast, and the excitement of leading the troops for the first time still lingered in his chest, which made Xu Hongru very excited and excited; At this time, while Xu Hongru was eating breakfast, he imagined in his mind the scene of leading the troops to the battle and dominating the situation, and couldn't help but laugh out loud at the corners of his mouth.
Suddenly, Xu Hongru felt a slight vibration, and when he was surprised, Xu Hongru saw that the water in the water bowl in front of him appeared in a circle of ripples; Then the sense of vibration became more and more obvious, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in Xu Hongru's heart.
Before Xu Hongru could react, he saw Shen Zhi rushing into the big tent in a panic and shouted, "The sect leader is not good!" It's the Hanwei battalion, thousands of iron horsemen have killed from the south! ”
"Impossible! Aren't they in the Anmin Mountains to the north? How did you run to the south! Wang Haoxian! Xu Hongru shouted in horror, he couldn't figure out how Hanwei Camp could run to the south, and directly caught himself off guard.
"Sect Master, what should we do now?"
Xu Hongru tried his best to stabilize his mind and said: "Order all departments to strictly guard the camp, if you go out now, you will be sent to death to the Shangguan Army!" ”
Shen Zhi said anxiously: "If we don't go out of the camp to fight, we will be blocked in the camp by the officers and soldiers!" We must defeat it, and we can't be afraid of the iron cavalry of the official army, otherwise it will be a death to trap the big camp and defend it, Sect Master! ”
Xu Hongru didn't pay attention to Shen Zhi, who was already crazy, but picked up a war knife and ran out of the big tent. At this time, the camp was already full of people, Xia Zhongjin, Zhang Cambodia, Hou Wu, Zhou Nian'an, and Meng Xianhan were commanding the men and horses of the post to strengthen the defense. Chen Canyu, who was anxiously jumping up and down on the side, saw Xu Hongru who came out with a knife, and immediately ran over and said: "Sect Master, how is this good, it seems that not only the bandits across the mountain, but also Wang Haoxian's subordinates must have been defeated, how can we meet the enemy!" ”
"Panic what!" Xu Hongru shouted and said: "The current situation is also something we expected, I also thought about it for a while, what Shen Zhi said is right, let's gather people and horses to go out of the camp to fight!" ”
Chen Canyu stomped his feet again and again when he heard this, and said: "Sect Master, the situation we considered before is that even if the Hanwei Battalion defeats Wang Haoxian, it will be a miserable victory, and then we can reap the benefits of the fisherman; But Sect Master, take a look, there are thousands of iron horsemen outside, and the Hanwei battalion obviously didn't suffer much loss, they fought a big victory! ”
After listening to Chen Canyu's words, Xu Hongru was also bruised, and his heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. At this time, Shen Zhi also hurriedly ran over and said, "Sect Master, even if we can't defeat the official army, we have to go out to meet the battle now!" There is still a slight chance of winning in the attack, and trapping the camp is a dead end! ”
Xu Hongru saw that the iron cavalry of the Hanwei battalion in the distance was slowly approaching the camp, and knew that there was not much time left to think about it slowly, so he gritted his teeth and made a decision, saying: "Pass the order, all the men and horses will immediately leave the camp, assemble in formation to the south of the camp, and fight to the death with the officers and soldiers!" ”
At the same time, Liu Yunwei led the Longxiang Division, the Changshui Division, the Yingyang Division, and more than 1,000 Ding Ce horses to the Wenxiang Sect camp, but the speed of the army was not very fast, but it only maintained the speed of the war horse trot, as if he didn't care that the Wenxiang Church was prepared.
Gao Hongguang was very puzzled in his heart, so he asked: "Big brother, why didn't we attack last night, in that case, a night battle can completely destroy these cult people, why do you have to fight them head-on in this blue sky and day." ”
Liu Yunwei said with a smile: "In order to hide the whereabouts of the army, so that Xu Hongru thought that all our troops had gone to Anmin Mountain, our more than 2,000 people first drove dozens of miles in the northwest direction, and then turned around and ran to the south. In such a state, if you want to attack an enemy camp with a large number of people at night, even if you win, the casualties of the soldiers will not be small, and I will not do anything to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 myself. That's why I let the soldiers have a good night's rest last night, and today I simply have a fair fight with Wenxiang Church! ”
Gao Hongguang suddenly realized, and then said: "I don't know what happened to General Lu and them now, whether they can successfully defeat Wang Haoxian's department and rush here in time to join us." ”
"Don't worry, Lu Ying and the others must have defeated Wang Haoxian's department, and they will definitely come to the meeting in time!" Liu Yunwei said confidently.
"There are dozens of miles from here to Anmin Mountain, how does the eldest brother know that Mr. Lu will definitely arrive in time?"
Liu Yunwei said: "Because they are like you, they are all my brothers, and they are all my life and death comrades, and they will definitely arrive in time!" ”
Gao Hongguang immediately felt his blood boiling when he heard this, following such a Shangguan who regarded himself as a brother in life and death was really a blessing from the third generation!
At this time, Wen Poyu on the side said: "Big brother, look, the people and horses of the Wenxiang Sect have come out of the camp, and they are forming a formation!" ”
"Haha, this Xu Hongru is still a bit of a brain, and he knows that he can't nest in the camp and wait for death." Liu Yunwei saw that thousands of people from the Wenxiang Sect had come out of the camp to face the battle, not only did he not have any worries, but laughed out loud. Then, Liu Yunwei roared energetically: "Pass the order, and the officers and soldiers of each department will stop the whole team one mile away from the enemy army and prepare for a decisive battle!" Brothers, it's time to go to war! ”
With Liu Yunwei's order, more than 2,000 iron cavalry soldiers suddenly let out a roar: "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! The morale of the soldiers of the Hanwei battalion rose sharply with the roar, and more than 2,000 iron cavalry soldiers faced the light of the morning glow and forced the Wenxiang Sect men and horses who had already completed the formation.
At this time, Xu Hongru was already standing in the middle of the formation with his helmet and armor, and several helmsmen such as Shen Zhi under his command had already gone to the front line to command. Looking at the iron cavalry army that was being formed a mile away, Xu Hongru's heart was full of worry, after all, it was the first time he was in battle, and it was the first time he was facing the elite iron cavalry army. For a moment, Xu Hongru even secretly regretted in his heart, was he a little hasty in this incident?
Suddenly, a thunderous sound of war drums resounded through the sky, and the sound of the marching army was accompanied by the sound of the marching armies. Xu Hongru was shocked at this moment, and suddenly turned his head to look at the north, and looked at the back of his own big array! Xu Hongru seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, his eyes were staring at the maximum, and his throat was full of bitterness: "Why did it become like this?" ”
