A fire blocked the way of the coalition forces, and the Western Vietnamese generals Huo Hai and Bai Shiqi could only watch and do it in a hurry. You must know that the consumables for these seven or eight hundred chariots, even if all the craftsmen of the coalition army are sent to cut them, it will take less than half a month. Zhou Long picked up a ready-made bargain, otherwise it would be impossible to stop the footsteps of the coalition forces.

Ying Shoushan looked at each other from the fire, although he did not directly fight with Zhou Long, but in Huilong Bay, this army did not lose a single soldier, and he defeated Bi Weide's vanguard soldiers and horses. It was precisely because of Zhou Long's resistance that Peng Shanhua was later beheaded by the military advisor. For Zhou Long's combat style of daring to go deep alone, Ying Shoushan is also very admired. What's more, as an important strategic material, any soldier or horse will cherish it after getting it. On the other hand, Zhou Long didn't frown, and lit a fire. It is enough to show that this person's killing decisiveness is different from ordinary people.

Seeing the huge fires in one piece, Huo Hai had no choice but to give the order to return in vain. Even if they waited until the fire was completely extinguished, it would be dusk. The coalition forces of the two sides themselves did not have a tacit understanding in terms of cooperation, and Huo Hai certainly did not dare to fight a night battle with Zhou Long. Especially for the side with a lot of soldiers and horses, the chaos of the night battle is more likely to injure their own people by mistake.

Zhou Long saw that the opponent's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were retreating like a tide, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses to retreat for more than ten miles and settle down in a not very dense jungle. Zhou Long had nothing else to think about now, but begged Duan Lang's main army to arrive as soon as possible. Otherwise, if this day goes on day by day, he knows that these more than 10,000 troops will be exhausted sooner or later. Originally, they relied on rapid blitzkrieg, so that the enemy army suffered losses and there was nothing they could do. But now, Zhou Long knew that he had to fight hard. In such a battle, even if the brothers fight tenaciously, they can't withstand the many people and horses of the other side, and they will be attacked again and again.

Zhou Long thought about tomorrow's battle and called Qian Chong and the others over. Due to the injuries of Huo Deyang and Hu Zhan Chao Zhan, Zhou Long temporarily appointed Li Buyang, Ji Zhaoliang and Liu Gucheng as the Qiancai guards to take over the position of Huo Deyang and the three.

Zhou Long looked at the four of them and said, "Ji Zhaoliang, the scout team is handed over to you, you have to arrange it, and you must keep an eye on Molan City for me." Our wounded brothers are all on the mountain, even if it is not for those people, we will never let the coalition army of Molan City approach Mibo Mountain before Duan Shuai arrives. Regardless of whether they will do anything unreasonable, they are not afraid of 10,000, we are afraid of what happens, we can't afford to gamble. ”

"Don't worry, General, I will immediately send someone to monitor day and night, as long as the other party's soldiers and horses leave the city, the news will be passed on immediately." Ji Zhaoliang said with his chest straight.

Zhou Long snorted and continued, "If tomorrow is still today's soldiers and horses, it seems that we are going to have a fierce battle." At present, we only have more than 12,000 people, so let's deal with the light cavalry of the coalition army first. As long as the light cavalry is scattered, the heavy armored cavalry is not a cause for concern. ”

Li Buyang said with great vigour, "Don't worry, General, our brothers are all people who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and one against three is definitely not a problem." ”

Qian Chong said, "General Long, what should they do if they take a detour tomorrow?" ”

Zhou Long shook his head, "Probably not, if you take a detour, you will have to take at least half a day's journey." Besides, even if it's a detour, we can quickly catch up. ”

"In that case, I think it's better to set up some ambushes in that narrow area first. With the help of burning ashes, it is difficult for the other party to find the mechanism arranged. Qian Chong said.

"Old Qian, our brothers don't carry tools to dig the soil, the ground is very strong after the burning there. Even if it is set up, it can only be a mechanism on the ground, and it will not have much effect. Zhou Long said.

Liu Gucheng hugged his fists, "General, leave it to me." I had been a hunter for a few years before I started at Rong, and although the scorched earth was hard, it was not difficult to dig some shallow traps with spear heads and knives. After digging, add the swamp on the other side and sprinkle it with floating ash, and the war horse will not think of coming out as long as it sinks in. In addition, there were so many arrows that I collected yesterday that I could remove some of the arrows and set up a horse nail after the tripping horse. Regardless of whether a person or a horse falls on a horse nail, if they don't die, they will be seriously injured. ”

Zhou Long was stunned for a moment, and said quite unexpectedly, ", you kid still has this kind of ability, well, this matter will be handed over to you." How many people are needed, you just say. ”

Liu Gucheng smiled innocently, "It's enough for me to lead the headquarters of 3,000 people, but you can give more arrows." ”

"No problem, our brothers are not good at using longbows, you can take half of the arrows with you. I'll give you 5,000 people, and everyone will work hard. ”

"Okay, I'll take my brothers with me when I'm full of food and drink. Tomorrow they dare to come and promise to surprise you. ”

After Liu Gucheng finished speaking, Zhou Long made arrangements for the others again, and after the order was completed, everyone got busy.

In Molan City, Mo Kun and Lu Mu were also surprised how Huo Hai and they came back so early. After asking the reason, Mo Kun and Lu Mu were distressed and angry in their hearts. Those chariots are rare strategic materials in the army, and they are even as important as war horses. Chariots are not ordinary civilian chariots and horses, and it can be said that the cost of building a chariot is very expensive. In particular, the tanks of Western Vietnam, after Lu Mu's transformation, were also equipped with defensive guards on both sides. Knowing that these chariots were burned, Lu Mu really wanted to scold.

"Damn Zhou Long, if I were Duan Lang, I would have to kill him if I burned so many chariots." Lu Mu said hatefully.

Mo Kun sighed regretfully, "It's okay to burn it, otherwise you can add at least three tank battalions of equipment to Duan Lang." ”

"Mr. Mo, I think that Zhou Long should know that he can't keep these chariots, so he set them on fire. Chariots are not swords, guns, swords, halberds, and can be transported to the mountains and hidden. Seven or eight hundred chariots, with their ability to protect them at all. ”

Lu Mu was distressed, he thought that today's battle would bring back those lost chariots. Therefore, Lu Mu was not bothered by the loss of the chariot last night. But now such a burn is tantamount to the complete loss of these tanks. Especially when he was about to start a battle with Duan Lang's main force, without the chariot battalion, many tactics and tactics could not be used. In particular, the bow and crossbow array and the infantry warrior shield array that break the opponent's defense, the chariot can be much more powerful than the heavy armored cavalry.

Zhou Long burned the chariot, which aroused the anger in Lu Mu's heart even more. He decided to continue to send troops and horses to encircle and suppress Zhou Long tomorrow, and he would never give up until he ate Zhou Long's subordinates. Even if you eat this army of soldiers and horses, you will burn Mibo Mountain with a fire. Only in this way can we solve the hatred in Lu Mu's heart.

On the avenue leading to Melan City, Duan Lang's army moved rapidly. Every time they went to a temporary station, Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue first listened to Azhu's report. These days, the scout camp led by Azhu is very hard. First, they had to advance ahead of the army to find out if there was any ambush ahead and the destruction of the city and county government, and secondly, they also wanted to clear out the scouts of the coalition army by the way.

In the military tent in the camp, Azhu, who was slightly tired, looked at Duan Lang Mingyue and said, "I just received news from Master today, according to Master Jiang Zhuming, Mibo Mountain has been attacked continuously. However, their city guards held back the enemy's onslaught. It seems that the Western Vietnamese coalition forces in Nanping have not yet launched a strong attack on Mi Bo Mountain. In addition, Uncle Seventh is not in Mibo Mountain, his old man has been collecting intelligence in Molan City, and there is no news yet. ”

Yutai Mingyue thought for a while and said, "This should be the news from a few days ago. Ordinary flying feathers don't have the speed of big and small whites, and Zhou Bo will be at least three or four days late when he receives the information and passes it on. But I don't know what's going on over there right now. I'm not worried about Master's side, hiding in the huge Molan City, it's not easy to find his old man. ”

Duan Lang said, "Don't worry, Da Fei will be able to return from Wuliang City tomorrow, so let Da Fei take a trip." Now it is not very far from Melan City, and Da Fei can go back and forth in just half a day. ”

"Yes, let's let Da Fei go to Mibo Mountain, without the master sitting in Mibo Mountain to command and dispatch, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the two bosses of Pang Gang and Fancheng to withstand each other's continuous attacks."

Ah Zhu smiled slightly, "There is no need for two bosses to go out, there are capable people on Mibo Mountain who are more proficient in fighting than them." ”

Duan Lang was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Jiang Zhuming is a Wenchen, and the seventh uncle is not here, who else can organize a counterattack force?" ”

Ah Zhu looked at Duan Lang and Mingyue, and said mysteriously, "This person used to be under your command. It is estimated that you would never have dreamed that the person who is currently organizing the resistance of the city defense guards on Mibo Mountain ~ is Chen Zhanxuan. ”

"Chen Zhanxuan?" Duan Lang and Yutai Mingyue were both stunned.

Chen Zhanxuan was an abandoned general in Lidu City, if it wasn't for Duan Langnian's military exploits, he would have almost killed him.

Seeing that the two of them were a little puzzled, Ah Zhu continued, "Lord Jiang and the two elders praised him well, and Chen Zhanxuan returned to his hometown of Molan City since he left Lidu City. In this crisis, Lord Jiang reused him, Chen Zhanxuan is now the commander of the city defense of Molan City, and the seventh uncle should also know about this matter. ”

Yutai Mingyue said, "At the beginning, Chen Zhanxuan was because he had an affair with the Jiantian Academy, but now that Kyoto's gas is exhausted, don't mention the previous mistakes." As long as this person can do his duty to protect the people of Melan City, he can be reused. ”

Duan Lang also said with emotion, "I almost killed him at the beginning, but I didn't think that when Molan City was in danger, Chen Zhanxuan was still a man. Okay, when he arrives in Melan City, let him return to the team. Geng Zhishan's loss is just right for Zhan Xuan to replace. ”

Tantai Mingyue nodded, and then said to Ah Zhu, "Ah Zhu, we still have two or three days to reach Melan City, and tomorrow you send scouts or shadow men to Melan City to contact Zhou Long." Let Zhou Long choose the location of the camp in advance, as well as the current situation of the Mokun and Lu Mu coalition forces. ”

Ah Zhu nodded, "Well, I'll arrange for someone to come over early tomorrow morning." ”

"Ah Zhu, you have worked hard these days, and after Da Fei arrives, there are some things that Da Fei can do to inspect, and he doesn't have to work in person. Otherwise, when I see Brother Zhang in the future, he will have to complain about me. Tantai Mingyue looked at Azhu, who was a little emaciated, and said unbearably.

"Mingyue, there are some situations that Da Fei can't accomplish. For example, if there is an ambush on the way, the number of soldiers and horses of the opponent and the allocation of troops must be completed by scouts and shadow people. Anyway, I'm used to it, and after this battle, I'll have a good rest. ”

Duan Lang smiled, "If I really tire you out, the dead fat man will definitely not be finished with me." Okay, it's not early, everyone rest early. The army still has to hurry tomorrow morning, and I can't let go of that side in my heart, so it's better to arrive early. ”

Ah Zhu said goodbye and left the big tent of the Chinese army, and Duan Lang and Mingyue began to talk about Chen Zhanxuan. Even the shrewd Yutai Mingyue didn't expect that due to the delay in the transmission of the message, Miboshan was in danger. And Lu Mu even broke what ordinary people thought, and was ready to use the scorched earth policy against Great Xia. Not only the army of soldiers and horses, but even ordinary people he is not ready to let go.

Early the next morning, the cavalry team was assembled again in the city of Molan, still led by Huohai, and the troops were sent to Mibo Mountain.

This night, Han Feng was also tired. He had planned to take advantage of the darkness to set fire to one or two places where the coalition army was stockpiling grain and grass. But after running around for most of the night, they were blocked back by strict patrol personnel. Don't look at the fact that there are no more people in the city, Mo Kun and Lu Mu still haven't let down their vigilance. For key areas, their defense forces are more rigorous than their marshals. Han Feng had no choice but to hide again, he planned to change his strategy tonight, since he couldn't get close to the place where the grain and grass were hoarded, then he would do something to the stables in the camp. Anyway, you can't just come in vain and go home empty-handed.

On the road to the direction of Mibo Mountain, Huo Hai did not change the road he was traveling, and still took the road of yesterday. He didn't believe that Zhou Long could still find so many chariots piled up on the way, Huo Hai wanted to see what else Zhou Long had the ability to stop their progress.

As soon as the soldiers and horses of the West Vietnamese Ping Coalition Army moved, Zhou Long soon got the news. Gathering his troops, Zhou Long once again came to the narrow land of yesterday. Liu Gucheng's eyes were bloodshot with exhaustion, but his face showed excitement. There are some burnt brackets left along the narrow stretch of road, and the entire section of the road is covered with soot.

Zhou Long observed it carefully, and couldn't help but praise, "Lao Liu, the brothers did a good job." At least visually, I didn't find any flaws. The horseshoe mark on the far side must have been left behind when our scouts returned. ”

Liu Gucheng said proudly, "General, just take a look." Although the trap is shallow, it is staggered according to the three-two-three formation. If I hadn't told Ji Zhaoliang in advance, even a scout wouldn't have thought of wading through so many traps. ”

"Okay, if today's battle is successful, those brothers who will go back to you will be counted as a battle merit."

"Your Excellency General Xie. By the way, our army will move forward thirty paces, and that position will be just right to shoot the opposing guards. Liu Gucheng said.

Zhou Long was stunned for a moment, "That position is on the edge of the narrow land, which is not conducive to the charge of our war horses." ”

Liu Gucheng said, "Then you will send me five hundred brothers who are good at archery, and I will take them to camp there." After the enemy soldiers have suffered losses, they will definitely send people to find and clean up the traps. When the time comes, it will be up to which brother can shoot the arrow. ”

Zhou Long immediately understood Liu Gucheng's intentions, "Okay, I'll go with you." Old money, the soldiers and horses behind you are handed over to you. As long as I give the order in front, you will charge and kill in an attack formation. ”

Zhou Long made some arrangements, led more than 500 soldiers and guards who were good at archery, and came to Liu Gucheng's designated position on horseback. Everyone waited for less than an hour, and Huo Hai's soldiers and horses came to the opposite side. Looking at the place where yesterday's fire burned out, Huo Hai waved his hand and the army stopped.

Looking at Zhou Long and the others not far away, Huo Hai couldn't help but feel a little strange. Ying Shoushan also felt that the other party was too calm, and hurriedly whispered.

"General Huo, be careful of deception."

When Bai Shiqi heard this, he snorted, "There's a, they're going to fight us." I said, let your heavy armor ride back a little bit, and save the fight from getting in the way. ”

Huo Hai frowned slightly, "Lao Bai, there is no need to say this, General Ying is also our colleague, and everyone must work together to fight." ”

Ying Shoushan didn't seem to hear Bai Shiqi's words, stared at Zhou Long, and then said, "General Huo, the other party's army is behind, and there are only a few hundred people standing there, don't you think it's strange." Why don't you send scouts to look left and right first, and don't fall into an ambush. ”

Bai Shiqi couldn't help but say angrily, "With your guts, you can still fight? How many people are there in him, Zhou Long, Lao Tzu doesn't know. We have died so many brothers under Mibo Mountain, and he Zhou Long is not an iron fighter, and the dead are not necessarily less than Lao Tzu's soldiers and horses. Lao Huo, our army rushed directly to kill him, and Lao Tzu didn't believe that he Zhou Long could still conjure up people. ”

Huo Hai looked at Ying Shoushan apologetically and said, "Old Bai, it's better to be careful." Otherwise, send 10,000 soldiers and horses to test it first. If it's really a fierce battle, it's not too late for me to lead someone to rush over. ”

"Good! My Lao Bai personally led the team, this General Ying, you Nanping heavy armor cavalry will stay behind and press the formation. Bai Shiqi said with mockery and disdain.

Ying Shoushan sneered, "Okay, then I wish General Bai to come and take down Zhou Long's head." ”

Ying Shoushan always felt that Zhou Longqi was too calm over there, and he would not be angered by Bai Shiqi's words. Since Shiraishi wants to ask for the first credit, then let it be better for him. Ying Shoushan doesn't care whether he fights for this merit or not.

Huo Hai looked at this narrow place again, looking at these chariots burned to ashes, Huo Hai couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"Lao Bai, Zhou Long, this loser really deserves to be killed. Go ahead and be cautious. Huo Hai said.

"Don't worry, even if there are ambushes, there will be only a few thousand people at most, and they will not pose a threat to us. The herald ordered the men and horses of the headquarters to follow the general and avenge the dead brothers. Kill me with me~! ”

Huo Haiping raised his spear, led his troops and horses to Zhou Long, and rushed over. Although there were still wrecks on the road that had not fallen, these skeletons could not withstand the collision of the horses, and Bai Shiqi did not pay attention to them at all.

Liu Gucheng saw Bai Shiqi leading his troops rushing over, and a cruel smile suddenly bloomed in his eyes.

"General Long, this bastard is dead. If he doesn't die, he will dare to press his head on you. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Long also had a smile on his face. He wanted to see what kind of courage Liu Gucheng had to gamble his head with Bai Shiqi's life.
