Outside Huilong Bay, Peng Shanhua, the chief general of the Nanping reinforcements, looked at the site where the fierce battle had just taken place. He thought it would be an easy victory, but what he didn't expect was an inexplicable fiasco. Bi Weide was defeated so quickly, so fast that Peng Shanhua couldn't believe it.

According to Bi Weide's description, Peng Shanhua couldn't help but become more confused the more he listened. The opponent's 50,000 horses and horses were defeated in disguise, but 20,000 or 30,000 people rushed out to fight with them. What is unbelievable is that the defeated soldiers and horses of Yixiang City did not turn back to outflank Bi Weide's army? Not only that, but what made Peng Shanhua even more angry was that Bi Weide said that the other party's combat effectiveness was rare in the world. In Peng Shanhua's view, this is simply Bi Weide's excuse for his defeat. If it weren't for Bi Weide being his confidant, Peng Shanhua would really want to beat him with a hundred military sticks.

General Ying Shoushan searched carefully, returned to Peng Shanhua's chariot, and couldn't help but say strangely.

"Lord Baron, this battle is really a bit weird."

Peng Shanhua was sulking, and when he heard this, he immediately said angrily, "Losing is losing, what's weird." Don't you even have the courage to admit defeat? ”

"Lord Baron, the last general means that not a single enemy corpse has been found on the entire battlefield, which is also incredible. Even if the opponent wins, it is impossible not to even lose a single battle. ”

Peng Shanhua became even more angry when he heard this, "Do you blame our combat effectiveness for being too weak, or do you want to say that the soldiers and horses of the Hundred Million Elephant City are too strong?" How do you know that if there is no war damage, won't people take the war damage away? should guard the mountain, and then dare to bewitch the people and bewitch the army, don't blame Lord Ben for being polite. ”

"Lord Baron, the last general is just~ Alas, forget it!" Ying Shoushan sighed and no longer defended anything. He knew that Peng Shanhua had always been stubborn and self-serving, and no matter how much he explained, it would be superfluous. What Ying Shoushan admires in his heart is the army master Mokun, but not this vain Peng Shanhua. Anyway, it won't take long to join the army division, and I don't have to suffer from this wretched spirit anymore.

Peng Shanhua angrily reprimanded Ying Shoushan, looking at the generals with unkind eyes. The adjutant general, Bi Weide, drooped his head, without that kind of arrogant arrogance.

Peng Shanhua suppressed his anger and said, "Everyone, our army is heading all the way north, and this is the first battle we encounter. Great Xia has always been cunning, and he actually used such a trick to kill the soldiers of our army, and this kind of hatred must be returned to Yixiang City. General Bi, you don't have to be discouraged, Lord Ben will explain this matter to the lord of the country. War itself is a symbol of death and killing. Don't say it's General Bi, don't you even suffer defeat even if the army division suffers. What's more, even Marshal Yang Fakui died in Great Xia. ”

After Peng Shanhua finished speaking, Ying Shoushan was immediately dissatisfied, if it weren't for Peng Shanhua's power, he really wanted to refute a few words. The same defeat, but the situation on both sides is not the same. Peng Shanhua's words are obviously exonerating Bi Weide from responsibility.

Bi Weide hugged his fist gratefully, "Thank you Lord Baron for your kindness, this kind of hatred, I, Bi Weide, must let Yixiang City repay it." ”

Peng Shanhua nodded, "Okay, now that my army is going to send to the Elephant City, Lord Ben wants to see how powerful their soldiers and horses are." ”

Ying Shoushan frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Baron, Lord Strategist, I have ordered me to wait for the soldiers and horses to join him quickly." If Lord Baron were to attack the Elephant City, it would take a long time. What's more, if we lose our troops here in Yixiang City, we won't be able to explain to the military division at that time. ”

When Peng Shanhua heard this, he said angrily, "You should guard the mountain!" Don't forget who you are. How to explain to Mo Kun, that's Lord Ben's business, and you don't need to talk too much. ”

Peng Shanhua said in his heart that Mo Kun should be used to suppress Lao Tzu, the Nanping army was defeated in Daxia, and the coach Yang Fakui was damaged in battle, which was all Mo Kun's mistake. The lord of the country Song Yucheng did not accuse Mo Kun, which does not mean that the lord of the country is not angry. This time when reinforcements were sent, the lord of the country did not hand over the responsibility of the boss to him according to Mo Kun's request, which is enough to show the dissatisfaction of the lord Song Yucheng. Peng Shanhua took the initiative to ask for help in Daxia, and he came for this position as the coach.

Ying Shoushan was not frightened by Peng Shanhua's momentum, but said uprightly, "Lord Baron, as a staff general, it is my duty to give advice to the main general. Even if the Baron wants to attack Yixiang City, he thinks that according to the military system, he should also inform the military master. ”

Peng Shanhua snorted, "If you want to inform the Mokun military division, Lord Ben has no objection." However, whoever dares to disobey the military order will blame Lord Ben for turning his face and being ruthless. Come, send an order, send an army, and send a hundred million elephant cities. ”

Ying Shoushan looked at this second ancestor helplessly, as the chief general of the reinforcements, he should have quickly joined the main force of soldiers and horses. As for how to distribute this army and horses, it is the duty of the commander of the army. It's good that he just thinks of himself as the commander of the army, if Huo Huo is clean, Mo Kun can only withdraw his troops from Great Xia at that time. Ying Shoushan did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered one of his henchmen to report the matter to the Mokun army division.

However, it was said that Zhou Long led his soldiers and horses to a mountain forest on the northwest side of Yixiang City, and ordered the army to rest in place. There was indeed no battle damage in this battle, and Zhou Long brought all the veterans who had experienced the hard training of the desert, and they couldn't even sleep with one eye open, and the mutual defense was very strict. However, after the battle, hundreds of people were injured and had to be dealt with in a timely manner.

Zhou Long called the four thousand cavalry guards over and ordered, "Qian Chong, you take a small team of men and horses to the nearby county town to buy some grain." Now everyone is left with only three days of dry food, which must be prepared in advance. ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Qian Chong agreed.

Zhou Long continued, "Huo Deyang, immediately send scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the reinforcements in Nanping. Zhan Yimo immediately reported the matter to Mingyue Military Division. ”

After Zhou Long finished instructing the two of them, he looked at Hu Zhanchao, "You also work hard, take dozens of shrewd brothers and go hunting in the nearby mountains and forests." The brothers ate and slept in the open air, and some game to satisfy their hunger. ”

Hu Zhanchao smiled, "General Long, I'm hungry for what you say." Don't worry, I'll cook a delicious meal for my brothers tonight. ”

Zhou Long nodded, and the four capable generals under him were busy separately. The soldiers and horses led by Zhou Long are accustomed to this kind of wild life. Sometimes, even the horse only carries some salt in the bag, and directly uses local materials to eat the mountains and water. Although this situation is difficult, it can move quickly and fight without being dragged down by logistics and grass.

In Yixiang City, Deguang was also excited. Before the Nanping army could be killed, it was killed by Zhou Long's troops. This not only boosted the overall morale of the Mixc, but also made Deguang more at ease. Don't look at the fact that there are not many soldiers and horses in Yixiang City, but it is not a problem to defend the city. Now with Zhou Long's troops acting outside, maybe they can slowly consume this Nanping army of soldiers and horses.

What makes Deguang even happier is that these credits will be counted on the head of the Elephant City. Deguang will let the people of the world know that he, the emperor, is not like Delong, but really fights against foreign invaders. Deguang is following Prince Hong's suggestion before his death, striving for public opinion little by little, and Taoguang is waiting for the day when Dongshan will make a comeback.

Outside the city of Daxia Jingshan. Duan's army has been attacking the city for six or seven consecutive days, and Mingyue has adjusted the soldiers and horses of each battalion to take turns to rest, but there is no room for rest in the city. Moreover, the scouts and shadow people who entered the city were like hamsters, resting during the day and acting at night, which made Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun tired of coping.

Duan Lang observed the situation of each battalion, don't look at the fact that there will be battle losses reported every day, but seeing the changes that have taken place in those new armies, Duan Lang feels that it is very worthwhile. Use Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun as a whetstone, so that when his soldiers and horses face Mo Kun and Lu Mu, the war knives in their hands will be sharper.

Looking at the city walls that were rammed by catapults every day, she knew that the day when the battle would end was not far away. As long as the city wall is smashed open, the reserve soldiers and horses will be pressed all at once, and Jingshan City will be taken in one fell swoop.

In the face of the Duan family's non-stop attack day and night, Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun in the city were anxious. In particular, the frequency of the opponent's attacks fluctuated and slowed, sometimes attacking and sometimes feintting, so that Zhu Wenjun couldn't figure out the law at all. Feng Zhun and Zhu Wenjun had no other way, let alone rescuers to ask for help. The two could only pray that Mo Kun and Lu Mu would launch an offensive as soon as possible to force Duan Lang to withdraw his troops.

Outside Yixiang City, the Nanping reinforcements were analyzing to Zhou Long, and all their anger was vented on the head of Yixiang City. Peng Shanhua led the soldiers and horses and took the initiative to launch an offensive against Yixiang City. Peng Shanhua, who can only talk on paper, has no experience in big wars. However, he also wanted to take this opportunity to let himself experience the real war. What's more, Peng Shanhua very much wants to make military achievements, so that the lord of the country, Song Yucheng, can see his ability. However, Peng Shanhua underestimated the Elephant City too much. Don't say it's him, even if Mo Kun's soldiers were strong, he didn't take it. Although it was because Mo Kun didn't want to lose too much and didn't attack, it was enough to show that the defense of Yixiang City was very well done.

In the past few days, the Nanping reinforcements not only did not receive any results, but lost 30,000 or 40,000 horses in the battle. Peng Shanhua's eyes are red, he is now riding a tiger, and he can't make a difference without making some achievements.

Staff General Ying Shoushan lamented again and again, he felt that if the army continued like this, it would not be able to reach the main battalion and be ruined. Ying Shoushan counted the time, and if he stepped up from Yixiang City to the lower pass, the news should be delivered to Mo Kun's hands. Now the plan is that only the military master can come to suppress Peng Shanhua, the second ancestor.

Zhou Long watched the confrontation between the two armies from a distance every day, and he did not lead his soldiers and horses to take the opportunity to sneak attack. Zhou Long was afraid that his early participation would scare away the Nanping reinforcements, and he wanted Nanping's soldiers and horses to fight with Deguang for a few more days. First, this situation can temporarily restrain Mokun from taking other actions, and secondly, it can also knock on the mountain and warn the tiger to warn Delong in Kyoto. Zhou Long wants to let Delong know that even if you don't come out of Kyoto, people can still smash your turtle shell. In today's plan, only if everyone uses their own strength to completely drive the foreign invaders out of Great Xia is the real way out.

In the Nanping camp at the lower pass, Mo Kun has been waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Lu Mu was also a little anxious, and came to the Mokun camp again.

In the Chinese military tent, Lu Mu did not discuss tea with Mo Kun as usual, but said bluntly.

"Mr. Mo, you and I have rested for a while, if you don't take action, I'm afraid Duan Lang will return from Jingshan. It's better to take advantage of their soldiers and horses to loot a few cities first. ”

"Brother Lu, our reinforcements will arrive soon, and we can send troops in a few days. At present, our soldiers and horses must not be separated, and we must not allow Duan Lang to take advantage of it. You and I have suffered a big loss from Duan Lang, and neither of you and I is powerless to fight against the soldiers and horses of Lidu City alone. Only by joining forces can we end this war as soon as possible. Otherwise, neither of you nor I will be able to communicate with the country. Mo Kun persuaded tactfully.

Lu Mu sighed, although he really wanted to loot the wealth of those cities alone, but Lu Mu understood that if he couldn't bear it, he would make a big plan, and once the soldiers and horses of the two sides were separated, it would be a little difficult to join forces again. After all, everyone wants to possess this wealth, and it is impossible for Lu Mu to spit it out and share a sum of money in Nanping. The wealth of places like Melans is not a small amount, enough to create a huge rift between the two countries. In that case, if the troops are united, there will be a lack of absolute trust between them. Fortunately, Lu Mu and Mo Kun are both people who focus on the overall situation, and it is the best choice for Fang Shuang to share the wealth of Great Xia Forte equally. Otherwise, the two sides will be divided because of huge interests.

Seeing that Lu Mu was a little anxious, Mo Kun continued to persuade, "Brother Lu, you and I will go to Great Xia, and when the war reaches this situation, none of us can get out of Great Xia." To be honest, for you and me, the interests of the country are more important than everything, even if we can't swallow the entire Great Xia Kingdom, we have to bring wealth back to the country. If Brother Lu trusts me, after defeating Duan Lang, I can give you some of my wealth. In Mo's heart, I would prefer to cut off Duan Lang's head and avenge my dead soldiers. ”

"Mr. Mo, for Duan Lang's house, my hatred is greater than yours. Wealth is enough as long as you can give an account to the lord of the country. Being able to kill Duan Lang is Zaixia's greatest wish. ”

"In this case, then Brother Lu will wait a few more days, and we will still act according to the plan."

"Okay, Mr. Na Mo urges, I am also a little eager to fight Duan Lang head-on."

After Lu Mu finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave, he knew that if he wanted to fight Duan Lang head-on, he could only combine the two sides together. In order to defeat the Duan family's army, Lu Mu had to continue to wait. Mo Kun said that he wouldn't let Lu Mu go, and he had to stay and have a drink with the two of them.

Just as the two sides were polite to each other, a guard hurriedly entered the big tent, "Master Qiqi, a standard commander has come from the reinforcements, saying that there is an urgent matter to report to the Lord of the Military Division." ”

As soon as Lu Mu heard that there was military affairs in the family, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Mo, let's bother another day." ”

"Brother Lu doesn't have to be polite, it just so happens that the reinforcements are here, let's hear where they are." Mo Kun enthusiastically left Lu Mu behind.

After a while, a standard commander walked in, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said, "Standard commander Huang Sancheng, meet the military master." ”

"Get up, where are the reinforcements? What do you have to report to your advisor? Mo Kun asked.

"The military division, the small one should be under the command of General Shoushan, and at the order of the general, I have come to report on urgent military affairs." Huang Sancheng said, glancing at Lu Mu.

Mo Kun frowned and said, "Let's say, there are no outsiders here." ”

"No, General Ying asked the little one to report to the military division, and Peng Shanhua, the main general of the reinforcements, is privately in charge and is attacking Yixiang City. In response to the general's persuasion, to no avail, the special small horse was ordered to report to the military division. ”

"What? Attack on the Elephant City? Bastard thing, angry old man! Mo Kun suddenly stood up angrily.

Lu Mu frowned, and said in his heart that he was in a hurry to wait here, and the reinforcements actually went to attack Yixiang City. But this is someone's military affairs after all, and it is inconvenient for Lu Mu to intervene.

Mo Kun inquired in detail, and immediately ordered someone to call Fu Shuai Zhao Pingdu. When Zhao Pingdu learned that Peng Shanhua actually attacked Yixiang City, he also thought that this guy was crazy. You must know that they are reinforcements, and they actually use themselves as the main force.

"Pingdu, you immediately lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to Yixiang City to take over the reinforcements, and go directly to Jigang City to join me." Mo Kun ordered.

"Master Strategist, that Peng Shanhua is a hereditary lord, I'm afraid~!" Zhao Pingdu said worriedly.

Mo Kun's face turned angry, "If he dares not to obey, he will take it directly." If anything happens, this army will take it for you. ”

"The last general obeys!" As soon as he heard Mo Kun's responsibility, Zhao Pingdu suddenly had confidence.

As soon as Zhao Pingdu left, Mo Kun looked at Lu Mu and said, "Brother Lu, I made you laugh." Now that the reinforcements have arrived in Yixiang City, then you and I don't have to wait here. Let's go straight to Jigang City and join up with reinforcements there. ”

"Okay, then the governor of Pontus will return to the camp immediately, and immediately gather his troops and horses and prepare to leave."

Lu Mu hugged his fists and said goodbye, and Mo Kun was in no mood to have a drink with him. Thinking of Peng Shanhua doing such a foolish act, Mo Kun had the heart to kill him.

Zhao Pingdu led 10,000 soldiers and horses out of the camp, don't look at Zhao Pingdu, as the commander of the army, his status in the country is not high. Compared with a family like Peng Shanhua, Zhao Pingdu can only be regarded as a general who fights from the bottom. Without Mo Kun's support, he would not dare to confiscate Peng Shanhua's rights to soldiers and horses.

Mo Kun only thought about letting Zhao Pingdu collect his troops, but he didn't expect that Zhou Long's soldiers and horses were also wandering near Yixiang City. The standard commander didn't report the news, they always thought that Bi Weide's defeat was a trick to fall into the Yixiang City. This mistake made Zhao Pingdu fall into the tiger's mouth, and Zhou Long picked up a big bargain in vain.
