On the road from Xiaojian Mountain to the canyon camp, Man Zhan led the army to gallop quickly. Don't look at it, it didn't take much time to solve Zhou Long's department, but Man Zhan knew that attacking the canyon camp must be fast. Otherwise, once Duan Lang and his troops returned, they would be the ones who were unlucky.

"General, turn right in the front direction and you will reach the canyon camp, do you want to divide your troops and block the other side of the canyon." In the middle of the rush, a thousand general manager asked for instructions.

"No, the army continues to move forward and make a detour to attack the camp of the canyon from the direction of the city of Mamaia."

Man Zhan was worthy of being an experienced veteran, and he was worried that with such an attack, Shangguan Xuanwu would flee to Mamaiya City with his chariot. This place is only a dozen miles away from Mamaia City, and if it encounters Duan Lang's troops, the full battle will be wasted. As long as this side is blocked, no matter where Shangguan Xuanwu flees, no war horse will run fast after all.

In the place of the canyon camp, Zhang Ruming lay lazily under the shade of the trees, bored and gnawed on jerky. Chen Qi patrolled around the camp, but set up a cordon around the camp, and he never dreamed that someone would attack the camp. After all, there was Zhou Long's department in the west, and Duan Shuai in the east personally led the troops, and even Mingyue felt that the canyon camp was very safe.

Chen Qi inspected the camp and was about to talk to Zhang Ruming, when suddenly, a sharp whistle came from the guard post on the east side.

Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "Master Heaven, I found that there were soldiers and horses coming over at the sentry post. ”

Zhang Ruming raised his eyelids, "Do you still need to ask, it must be Duan Lang's kid who came over there." ”

As soon as Zhang Ruming's words fell, a series of short and urgent sounds sounded at the guard post. Chen Qi's face changed, and he hurriedly shouted, "Quick, everyone get on the chariot, there is an enemy attack." ”

Zhang Ruming also got up in a panic, following the camp all these years, Zhang Ruming is also very familiar with these sentinels. As soon as he got up, he saw a sentry running up.

"Report to Lord Qian, there is a Moro cavalry, the number is unknown, and it is estimated that there are no less than 10,000 troops."

"The Moro army?" When Chen Qiyi heard this, he hurriedly ordered, "Quickly, protect the Heavenly Master to get on the crossbow car." The ballista went first, and all the chariot battalions followed the total pressure of Ben Qian. ”

After Chen Qi finished speaking, he shouted at Zhang Ruming, "My lord, hurry up and get on the ballista and take the ballista away." ”

"Where to take ~ bring?" Zhang Ruming asked in a panic.

"Run as far as you can, and then find a way to contact Duan Shuai when you get back. Fast~! ”

Several guards didn't care about 3721, and drove Zhang Ruming to a ballista in a hurry. These ballistas are treasures of the army, and they have not been used so far. Even if Chen Qi risked his life, he couldn't let these ballistas be damaged, let alone let the ballista be captured by the enemy.

The dust was flying in the distance, and Chen Qi quickly gathered his soldiers and horses. Looking at the rolling army, Chen Qi waved his spear, "Everyone obeys the order and retreats to the canyon." ”

Chen Qi knew that it was very disadvantageous for the chariot to engage the cavalry in the open area, and although the canyon had a small mouth and a big belly, it could at least block the opposing cavalry. In any case, he also has to give Zhang Ruming a stick of incense time to escape.

Zhang Ruming stood on top of the ballista and shouted, "Chen Qi, you kid listen, go out of the canyon all the way to the north, Lao Tzu is waiting for you over there." Remember, if you can't do it, cut the cable and flee on horseback. ”

"Master Celestial, let's go!" Chen Qi waved his hand and urged.

At this moment, the Manchu army had already reached the entrance of the canyon, and seeing that the opposing chariots in the valley were lined up and ready to fight, Manzhan immediately ordered to attack directly with firearms.

Whoosh~ Rows of arrows with fiery snakes shot at the chariot. The guards on the chariot also raised their shields to fend off the arrows.

After the full battle gave the order, he regretted it, and quickly ordered to stop archery. This is the canyon, and once the chariots are ignited, it is equivalent to blocking their way. Unless you go around the canyon and block it from behind, it will take a lot of time.

"Stop~! Swap for crossbow arrows and shoot horses. "Man Zhan ordered the guards to replace them with ordinary arrows and aimed them at the horses pulling the carts.

Chen Qi looked at Man Zhan with a mask and immediately understood the other party's concerns. Since the other party was worried that the canyon would catch fire, he simply didn't do anything, and he took the initiative to ignite it.

"Brothers, cut the reins, set fires, and evacuate on horseback." Chen Qi shouted loudly.

The order of the full battle reminded Chen Qi that even if he gave up these hundreds of chariots, as long as he could block the pursuit of the enemy army, it would be worth it. Chen Qi's task is to protect Zhang Ruming and those ballistas, once the chariots are on fire, they can prevent the enemy from pursuing, and secondly, the billowing smoke can also warn Duan Lang. Although Chen Qi didn't know why this army appeared, he believed that Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue would never be defeated by the enemy so easily. What's more, Chen Qi's thousands of men and horses are also veterans who have experienced the hard training of the desert, even if they give up the chariot, their combat effectiveness is still not to be underestimated. In the face of the enemy's surprise attack, only by preserving the living force can the enemy pay the price, which is also the words that Duan Lang has always warned them.

Seeing that Chen Qi's department took the initiative to give up the chariot and ignite the road, those who regretted the war wanted to slap themselves. Chen Qi not only took the initiative to set fire, but also threw wolf smoke in the fire. The jet-black plume of smoke shot straight into the sky, and Chen Qi believed that Duan Lang would soon find out that something had happened here.

"Quick, get out of the valley and go around in pursuit." In desperation, he could only order a detour.

The Manchurian War also understands that this bypass, I am afraid that the distance between the two sides has widened a lot. But Man Zhan knew that Shangguan Xuanwu was not good at riding horses, and he would definitely not be able to run far if he rode in a chariot. As long as you keep chasing it, you will definitely be able to capture Shangguan Xuanwu alive. The Manchu War sent his men and horses back to report it, and he led the army around the canyon and chased it hard.

Outside Mamaiya City, Duan Lang led Zhou Wu's subordinates, and he made a bold statement, and Wu Batu's face on the city wall turned purple. But in the face of Duan Lang's pressure, Long Mu only ordered to defend the city wall and not fight. Because Long Mu knew that Lu Mu's army was coming, in addition to the soldiers and horses of Western Vietnam, the lord of the country, Wu Poer Khan, ordered the conscription of various city defenses to support Long Mu's department. Now the most important task of Long Mu is to protect the crown prince Wubatu and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Mingyue and Long Mu fought with each other on the city wall, and seeing that the goal was achieved, Duan Lang ordered the troops to be withdrawn. The reason why Yutai Mingyue did not have troops to besiege Mamaia City was that she deliberately asked Long Mu to pass on the news. Only in this way will they be able to complete the plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements, until all of Čalčink's forces are drawn.

Duan Lang's army had just returned less than three miles when he saw a scout hurrying in front of Duan Lang.

"Qi Yu Duan Shuai, no, I found that billowing smoke came out of the direction of the canyon camp."

Tantai Mingyue was shocked when she heard this, but Duan Lang said indifferently, "It's nothing, maybe our Lord Shangguan is bored and has prepared a barbecue feast." ”

Not only did the scout not retreat, but said solemnly, "Duan Shuai, this smoke is unusual, it is thick and dark from a distance, it should be joined by wolf smoke." ”

Speaking of wolf smoke, Duan Lang's face changed. Although Duan Lang's army rarely uses wolf smoke as a warning, the basic things in the army are also taboo. Even if it was Zhang Ruming's bonfire barbecue, Chen Qi would not join the wolf smoke so ignorantly. It is important to know that such behavior is not only easy to expose the target of the camp, but also more likely to cause misunderstanding. In any military camp, the innocent release of wolf smoke is taboo.

"Order Zhou Wu's department to hurry to the canyon camp." Duan Lang gave an order with a serious face.

The army, which was originally moving slowly, suddenly raised its speed and quickly rushed to the canyon camp. Although Duan Lang didn't know what was going on over there, Duan Lang believed that no matter how ignorant Zhang Ruming was, he wouldn't be so ignorant as to let the camp smoke billowing out.

As he walked forward, Duan Lang was already able to visually detect the floating smoke clouds. At this moment, he and Tantai Mingyue understood that something must have happened. Such a cloud of smoke is not something that can be formed by a bonfire. After a distance of more than ten miles, the army quickly arrived at the camp of the canyon.

The camp outside the canyon was trampled and broken, and the canyon was still smoking smoke and fire. Duan Lang's eyes widened in shock, and Yutai Mingyue hurriedly ordered.

"Quick, check if there are any corpses in the canyon. Zhou Wu immediately sent scouts to track all the way around the canyon. In addition, send a small group of men and horses to trace Zhou Long's march route and check where his soldiers and horses are. ”

Yutai Mingyue was uneasy, but she just felt that the canyon camp had been attacked, and there should be no problem on Zhou Long's side. Zhou Long led 20,000 elite men and horses of the Great Calendar Kingdom, even in the face of 100,000 troops, Tangtai Mingyue did not think that the other party would be able to eat Zhou Long's troops at once. What's more, the Beiming Detective has already figured out the situation of the soldiers and horses of the Moro Kingdom, and there should be no army in the Moro country that can confront Zhou Long at present.

Duan Lang jumped off the war horse in shock, but fortunately, the corpses of his brothers were not found at the camp in the canyon, which made Duan Lang's heart feel a little calm. But Duan Lang walked into the canyon and saw those chariots that had not yet burned out, and he was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. He knew that Chen Qi would never give up burning these chariots unless he had to. You must know that in some chariots, there are still rations for their tens of thousands of troops. It seems that Zhang Ruming and they are in trouble. But what the specific situation is, Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue are not at all confused.

"Lang, I'm afraid we have to evacuate this place as soon as possible. I had a bad feeling that we were missing something. Yutai Mingyue looked at the wreckage of the chariot in the canyon and said worriedly.

"No, the bodies of a large number of Chen Qisuo's soldiers have not been found here, and I believe they should be evacuated temporarily. Let's just wait here, I'll see what kind of divine handiwork this is. ”

Looking at Duan Lang's angry eyes, Tantai Mingyue nodded, "Okay, if Chen Qi is only temporarily evacuated, he should be back soon." I don't know what the situation is on Zhou Long's side, why is it delayed for so long? ”

Mingyuexin said that Zhou Long's troops should have returned to the camp of the canyon long ago to deal with the 30,000 soldiers and horses temporarily combined. If Zhou Long was here, Shentai Mingyue couldn't think of anyone else who could make Zhou Long unable to even protect the chariot.

The guards were cleaning the canyon passage, and just as Duan Lang, Tantai Mingyue and the others were discussing why Zhang Ruming had suddenly evacuated, another piece of news made them completely panicked.

The small group of men and horses sent by Zhou Wu not only did not find Zhou Long's department, but actually encountered an enemy attack near Xiaojian Mountain. Although there is only a small group of 100 people, these people are veterans of the battlefield after all. It's just that Duan Lang didn't expect that there were less than twenty people coming back.

Yutai Mingyue's face was serious, and she kept asking the guards who came back, "Let's talk about details, the more detailed the better." ”

When he learned that he did not encounter Zhou Long's troops along the way, but that there were a large number of enemy troops in the land of Xiaojian Mountain, Duan Lang's heart suddenly chilled. Judging from the marching map left behind by Chalcinke, which they captured, if Zhou Long pursued the enemy soldiers, he would definitely cross Xiaojian Mountain. Now Zhou Long has no news, but Xiaojianshan has ambushed the enemy soldiers. Even if Duan Lang believed in Zhou Long's ability, he couldn't help but tremble.

Tantai Mingyue gently held Duan Lang's hand and said with relief, "Lang, don't be nervous, General Zhou Long's combat power is obvious to everyone, I don't believe that there are no soldiers and horses that can eat Zhou Long's troops in one bite." Perhaps, Zhou Long crossed Xiaojian Mountain and was blocked by the enemy on the other side of the mountain. ”

Duan Lang's eyes were cold, and he shook his head, "I know Zhou Long, even if he is blocked by the enemy on the other side of the mountain, he will lead his men and horses up the mountain and kill him." It seems that Zhou Long and Lao Zhang have had an accident. ”

"No, no, Duan Shuai, I believe that the eldest brother will not have an accident. I implore Duan Shuai to give an order, and I, Zhou Wu, immediately lead my troops to Xiaojian Mountain to destroy these bastards. Zhou Wu said anxiously.

Tantai Mingyue hurriedly said, "Absolutely not, we still don't know the number of people and horses of the other party and their strength, don't attack rashly." ”

After speaking, Yutai Mingyue asked the soldiers who came back, "Are you sure they are Moro soldiers and horses?" ”

One of the guards clenched his fists and said, "Master Commander, the banner in the mountains is the Moro Battle Banner. But there are no commanders and generals, and the little ones don't know who is leading the troops. But the little ones can confirm that the other party is definitely Moro soldiers. ”

Tantai Mingyue nodded, and looked at Duan Lang, "Lang, you must not attack rashly." I suggest that scouts be sent out immediately to conduct a close reconnaissance. In addition, whether it is Zhou Long or Brother Zhang, I believe they will always send someone over. If you don't transfer, then raise your combat readiness and wait where you are. ”

Duan Lang thought for a moment and said, "I agree with your opinion, however, I have to go to Xiaojian Mountain in person." I don't know why, but I always think this army is a little strange. ”

Tantai Mingyue wanted to stop it, but when she saw Duan Lang's murderous gaze, she had to nod in agreement.

"Lang, if you go, take the forbidden military camp with you." Mingyue said.

"No need, I'm just going to see the situation, if there is a war, I will take Zhou Wu's troops and even them as a whole. With Gu Fan Xiangtian and others following, you don't have to worry. ”

Duan Lang couldn't sit still anymore, he wanted to follow Zhou Long's route to check it out for himself. Since the establishment of the Lidu City Army, nothing like this has ever been encountered. What's more, now that Da Fei is not here, Duan Lang can't check the news of Zhou Long and Zhang Ruming from the air.

Duan Lang took Gu Fan to the sky and waited for the eighteen guards, and quickly ran in the direction of Xiaojian Mountain. As soon as Duan Lang left, Tangtai Mingyue immediately summoned all the scouts and secretly ordered them to search carefully along the perimeter, as long as they found anyone alive, they must bring them back alive. Yutai Mingyue believed that the other party would definitely send scouts, and only by finding out the details of the other party could she make action arrangements.

When the sun set, Duan Lang turned back with a cold face. It was confirmed that Xiaojian Mountain was indeed stationed in Moro soldiers and horses. But who led the troops, Duan Lang couldn't know. But at this moment, Zhou Long and Zhang Ruming's two troops still had no news, and Duan Lang and Tangtai Mingyue really panicked. It is said that Zhou Long and Chen Qi should understand that even if something happens, they will send someone to send a message back. The two teams seemed to have disappeared, which made Tai Mingyue feel too incredible.

Duan Lang didn't know that Zhou Long's army was almost wiped out, and the remnants of the army were already a hundred miles away from them. At this time, in order to divert the enemy soldiers, Chen Qi deliberately lured the Manchurian army to chase in another direction. Zhang Ruming led a team of ballistas, like headless flies, and even he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.
