"No! After yesterday's fierce battle, our army lost nearly 1,000 people, and Xu Rongjun, who was already tired and chaotic, was still brave enough to get here, which shows the elite tenacity of his troops. If the two armies fight for their lives at this time, I am afraid that they will only end up losing both! Pound said in a condensed voice. Hu Che'er thought that Pang De was timid, but he was a little unhappy, so he shouted: "What if both sides lose!?" But if this Xu Rong is killed, then Dong Min will lose his strong reinforcements. At that time, the lord can take the opportunity to rescue the Son of Heaven, which is very helpful to the lord's great cause!! I'm waiting for the king to eat and fight for it, isn't it my duty!? ”

"Old Hu!! Don't you know, the lord attaches great importance to his subordinates, and he is never willing to let his subordinates fight with the enemy and die innocently!! As long as the plan is carried out now, then Xu Rong will definitely lose, so why should you act in a hurry!? When Pound heard this, he suddenly glared at the lion's eyes and hissed. Hu Che'er was surprised by his drinking, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, someone had drunk himself like this, and the two looked at each other with seven points, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha, it's amazing, it's really like~~!!"

Pound frowned, and couldn't help asking, "What is so similar?" ”

"You and the lord!" Hu Che'er stretched out a finger, pointed at Pang De, and clenched his fist to hammer the position of the heart, this is the ancient rite of the Qiang people, only when talking about Shengming, will do such a ritual, that is to say, in Hu Che'er's heart, Ma Zongheng is like Shengming.

Pang De couldn't help but be slightly stunned, Hu Che'er suddenly smiled and said: "The lord is right, smart people will always grow up with the people who have the most influence on him, red ghost, you have finally grown up!" ”

About half an hour later, at the place where Xu Rongjun stopped, another soldier from the rear came to report that Pang Dejun's army had also stopped. When Xu Rong heard this, he couldn't help but change color, and said secretly: "This Pang De is not in a hurry, it seems that it is exactly as I expected, and now that Chang'an is in the early peace, then Ma Xi does not dare to rush into the army, so it seems that there is only the Ma family army that entered from Chen Cang!" Judging from this time, on my way to Yicheng, the Ma family army will be able to kill, and then as long as its army intercepts and fights, then Pang De will lead troops from behind, and I will definitely be defeated! In addition, now that our army is at the end of its strength, even if it is forcibly stepped up, it will not help! ”

Thinking of this, Xu Rong couldn't help but sigh, and suddenly had a feeling of the end of a hero. Moreover, from the moment he learned that Dong Zhuo was dead, he already had it. He couldn't help but remember that when he was a child, someone who looked at him told him that his life was born to be a loyal martyr, and he could only serve one master in his life, as long as he followed the right master, he would definitely be able to shock the world, be rich and glorious, and gain fame and fortune. But the only fly in the ointment is that once his master is lost, he will die soon after.

Before leaving, the person who looked at the face said that this was fate, so he persuaded the young Xu Rong to be cautious when choosing a master in the future.

The one who looks at the face is like a thing, but Xu Rong didn't believe in fate since he was a child, so he laughed it off.

But now, Xu Rong suddenly began to believe it, so he sighed again, looked at a steep mountain not far away, and said: "Listen to my order, immediately send an order to the defenders of Yicheng, let them find out the movements of the Ma family's army, and then secretly send the elite to follow, in order to wait for the opportunity to attack behind." Our army will first set up a foothold in Gaobo Mountain, but if the Ma Jiajun and Na Pang De come to besiege it, as long as the elite soldiers of Yicheng can surprise the Ma Jiajun and succeed, our army will still have a slight turnaround! ”

"But General Xu, there is not much surplus food left in our army now. If you are trapped in the mountains, after a long time, I am afraid that our army will not attack itself, it is better to rush back to Yicheng all the way, but if the Ma family army kills, our army will first break through with the defenders of Yicheng, and then it is not too late to solve the Pang De. ”

Because Xu Rong was in a hurry to rush to the north to echo Dong Min's call to show his loyalty to the Dong family, he only brought ten days' rations.

"Our army has been fighting for many days, and it is already the end of the crossbow, if you have enough energy, you may still be able to fight like this. But there is no way to act rashly now. As for food, you don't have to worry too much, this battle will definitely be able to distinguish the winner from the defeat when our army runs out of food. Therefore, at present, our army only cares about resting on the Gaobo Mountain as soon as possible, recuperating and preparing to fight to the death with the enemy! As soon as Xu Rong said this, all the generals couldn't help but wake up, their eyes were hot, and they accepted the order. Xu Rong quickly sent people to the two thousand remnants in the rear, and the sect was ready to follow most of the men and horses to Gaobo Mountain.

"Newspaper~~!! Report~~!! But when Pang De was also resting, a scout suddenly came to report that Xu Rong's army had begun to hurry again, but instead of going in the direction of Yicheng, it was heading towards a steep mountain. Pang De was obedient, couldn't help but be surprised, frowned and said secretly: "This Xu Rong suddenly changed direction, but went to the deep mountains and dangerous places, could it be that he saw our army's strategy, and had the intention to take advantage of the dangers of the mountains, resist stubbornly, and fight to the death with our army!?" ”

Thinking of this, Pound secretly felt in his heart, and soon shook his spirits, and shouted: "Pass my order, still the speed of the march, follow behind!" The armies obey the order, without my order, they must not act without authorization, and those who violate it will be beheaded!! ”

So, that night, with Xu Rongjun stationed in Gaobo Mountain, Pang Dejun also came to a flat land more than ten miles outside Gaobo Mountain. In order to prevent Xu Rong's sneak attack, Pang De didn't dare to get too close, so he stopped far away. Hu Che'er was worried that the war would continue and that there would be not enough food, because according to the original plan, once Xu Rong was intercepted by Ma Jiajun, the war would be a foregone conclusion, so the whole army only brought ten days' rations. But coincidentally, Pound also believed that this battle would be over before the food ran out, and the most important thing now was to seize the time to rest and prepare for the big war.

But he said that a day later, Xu Rong was ambushed by a fierce army, and the news that he was repulsed and went to Gaobo Mountain to establish a foothold reached the Ma family's army. When Ma Teng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly taught Cheng Gongying to come to discuss.

"Strategist, do you think this move was done by Xi'er?" Ma Teng asked with an excited expression.

"Listen to the report, in that part of the soldiers and horses, the leader of the army will be a red-faced general, if I am correct, it should be a red ghost. It seems that the lord even expects the movements of our army. Cheng Gongying couldn't help but smile brightly.

"Oh? What did the military advisor say? When Ma Teng heard this, he couldn't help but look stunned, and hurriedly asked again. Cheng Gongying sank his face, and then replied: "I thought that the Lord Gong should have expected our army to pursue behind, so he sent ambushes to ambush and attack Xu Rong's troops, and once Xu Rong's troops were defeated, they retreated. Our army can be intercepted from behind, and when the two armies attack together, Xu Rong will definitely be defeated. However, Xu Rong is not an ordinary person, and it is likely that he sees the intention of the lord at the moment, so he is stuck on Gaobo Mountain, while recuperating, while waiting for the opportunity to turn the tide! ”

"Humph! At present, as long as our army quickly rushes to the foot of Gaobo Mountain and attacks together, then Xu Rong will definitely be defeated, I think he is stubborn and refuses to accept his fate!! But speaking of which, I didn't expect that I had been fighting against Xu Rong for many years, but in the end he was defeated in the hands of Xi'er!! For Xu Rong's old opponent for many years, Ma Teng was respectful and hateful, and couldn't help sighing.

"Having said that, but the current situation is undecided, Ma Gong still has to be careful, there are still a lot of soldiers and horses stationed in his city, I am afraid that Xu Rong has already prepared and secretly transferred, if our army is in a hurry and is attacked by it, then it is likely that we will be defeated in the end." Cheng Gongying suddenly reminded, which couldn't help but make Ma Teng's heart jump for a while, and he changed color again and again, and said: "Fortunately, I have your reminder, otherwise I would have almost missed a big thing!" ”

"I have a plan, but I can prevent it before it happens!" Cheng Gongying smiled, and then bowed respectfully.

"What's the solution! Come on!! When Ma Teng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked. Cheng Gongying then taught so and so. Ma Teng listened to the plan, ecstatic, and even said that he was endless.

So Ma Teng led his troops to Gaobo Mountain, and on the other hand, according to Cheng Gongying's strategy, he quickly made a transfer.

Three days later, the weather gradually entered autumn, and the coolness came, which made people feel a little melancholy. Xu Rong was on a high ground on Gaobo Mountain, looking at Pang De's deployment, when someone suddenly rushed to report that Ma Jiajun's army had arrived behind the mountain and had begun to settle down.

"It's finally coming." Xu Rong whispered, and then he was shocked, and ordered a soldier to continue to pay attention to the movements of Pang Dejun, and he took a few generals and a cadre of soldiers to quickly go to the back mountain to explore.

When Xu Rong came to the back of the mountain to explore, he saw that the Ma family army was rapidly establishing a camp, and a member of the army could not help but persuade: "This Ma family army is not prepared now, our army has rested for three days, and most of its body has been restored, why don't the general take the opportunity to lead his troops to attack and break it in one fell swoop!" What's more, the elite of Yicheng is on the way, if you are lucky, or you can meet on the way to chase and kill, and attack together to capture the horse barbarian!! At that time, this horse barbarian is in the hands of our army, I will look at the ghost Ma Xi, how arrogant he dares to be!! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Rong's subordinates all responded one after another. However, Xu Rong kept his face calm, pointed to Ma Jiajun under the mountain, and said coldly: "If this is the case, you will be the middle of the plan." Wait and see, on both wings of the Ma Jiajun camp, there are crossbowmen in ambush, and most of the soldiers of his army have not removed their armor, just to prepare for the attack of our army. Once our army rushes out, it will be defeated and killed, and Pang De's place, but listening to the sound of killing, you must know that our army wants to break through the encirclement, and it will be killed from behind. At that time, our army will face a catastrophe of annihilation! ”

When Xu Rong's words fell, everyone changed color, and they all secretly sighed that Xu Rong was meticulous and admired.

"Then, according to the general's view, what should our army do now!?"

"And don't rush things. Our army is besieged here, and presumably Lord Dong has also received news there. Now under the command of Lord Dong, there is no general who can lead the overall situation, so if Lord Dong wants to stabilize the situation, he must rescue me. Therefore, troops should have been sent to help by now. But if his army comes, it happens to be behind the red-faced ghost, and the red-faced ghost soldiers are small, and our army can also take the opportunity to go to the flank attack, and after killing the deployment of the red-faced ghost, our army can just meet with the deployment of Lord Dong, and then look back to the north together to stabilize the situation! As soon as Xu Rong said this, everyone couldn't help but cheer up, and they were full of hope all of a sudden. However, Xu Rong did not dare to take it lightly, the current situation is unpredictable and changeable, how will it develop in the end, Rao is has been fighting for many years, and he does not dare to make a conclusion lightly.
