Ma Zhong has some thoughts for Zhu Ning, but it is nothing more than some instinctive admiration. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe two of them have a bizarre encounter, and in this chaotic environment, it is difficult to have any heart-opening interactions.

Zhu Ning looked at Ma Zhong and stopped, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what thoughts were turning in his mind. This is a girl with a lot of thoughts, and it is inevitable that she will think about it a few more times.

At this time, it is not appropriate to say anything, so you might as well be generous.

Ma Zhong smiled and nodded, reconfirming his decision.

Zhu Ning let out a soft "um" and lowered his head and got into the narrow tent.

The summer night was not cold, but in order to resist the humidity of the wilderness, Ma Zhong still moved the fire to the tent, and he sat not far away. I fell asleep for a while, simply looked at the stars, and lay down on the ground.

Early the next morning, Zhang Tang and Bailichuan came over.

Ma Zhong's idea is very simple, first solve the matter in front of him, and then consider the variables of the general situation, "We continue to follow Peng Cai, and it will be safer to control the danger within our vision." ”

Zhang Tang listened to it for a long time and was silent, and Bailichuan muttered in a low voice, "This is a gamble with your life." ”

Ma Zhong waited for a while, and saw that the two didn't say anything else.

Then he said lightly, "Then it's decided!" ”

It is not only his right to make decisions when they need to be made, but also their responsibility.

After experiencing a great battle in Bainiling, the Wandering Army was actually quite a bit more powerful. The only people who survived that battle were physically strong soldiers. Most of the women and children's families died in the old and weak, and the rest were strong women and half-grown children.

These people are already living in war, going from one battlefield to another. Therefore, they are always in combat readiness. With Ma Zhong's order, the newly erected camp was quickly dismantled, and some materials that could be reused were reloaded.

Zhang Tang took the initiative to set off with more than 100 of his soldiers to fight the front station. Bailichuan and Wang Lili each brought their subordinates to deal with each other. Li Sizheng now knows some simple construction skills, and he volunteered to lead the construction team independently to follow the Lin Ziying to open the way.

Ma Zhong rode slowly to the left and right, and from time to time scouts who also rode over came back to deliver news.

Peng Cai's march was indeed not slow, and according to these scouts, he was afraid that he had already left them behind the day's and night's journey.

This time, the three major Kou of Yuzhang only used the strong thieves in their hands, and did not bring their families. It can't be compared with the captain of Wu Meng's camp and dragging his children here.

Walking slowly like this, after walking for a day, seeing the sun setting in the west, Ma Zhong asked people to set up camp in the camp that had been selected a long time ago. Different from yesterday's hastily construction, this time the camp was built very solidly.

Now in the camp of Captain Wu Meng, whether it is the two military marquis, or the soldiers, women and children below, they all have a blind trust in Ma Zhong. As soon as he asked for this, he only thought that a big war was about to start, and he didn't dare to slack off.

Fortunately, there was nothing wrong all night, and when I continued on the road the next day, I finally noticed some abnormalities. Several villages encountered on the road were breached. Ma Zhong was spied out, and there was no one inside except for the corpses that were beginning to stink.

Ma Zhong ordered the army to stop, personally led people in to take a look, searched around, and found that all food and property had been looted.

"This should have been looted by Peng Cai and them when they passed by. However, this village is not big, and there will not be too many supplies for Peng Cai and them. ”

Ma Zhong comforted the two military marquis, but there was a trace of worry in his heart.

If it was so smooth all the way, Peng could grow as easily as a snowball.

Although Ma Zhong's step-by-step style of play is stable, the speed is too slow. Unless Peng Cai stops to fight a few tough battles, he may make a mistake.

Ma Zhong quickly made up his mind and ordered, "Later, mix the construction team with the people of the Lin Zi Battalion, and give me half of it, and I will lead them forward first and build the camp wall." After that, the two parts alternate to try to speed up. ”

The situation was so unfavorable that Zhang Tang could only accept such an expedient measure, and the previous wariness of these Shanyue battalion soldiers had now become insignificant. Ma Zhong's direct involvement in the command of the Lin Zi battalion is not a good sign, but thinking about Ma Zhong's previous handover of his subordinates to Bailichuan's command, he can't take care of it now.

Ma Zhong left behind the slow rear team and hurried forward with the people, and along the way, scouts on horseback kept coming and going to correct his direction.

Ma Zhong estimated the speed of the advance of the army behind, stopped more than an hour before dark, and stepped up the construction of the wall, the two walls were completed, and the sky was already dark. At this time, Bailichuan followed with the rear team panting. This time it took more than two hours longer than before.

Before dawn on the second day, Ma Zhong rushed forward with another rotating team, connecting and repairing two temporary stationed simple fences along the way, and then the team caught up yesterday to complete a replacement.

In this way, Ma Zhong's team walked for four or five days, and even threw down more than ten strong and strict camps along the way.

Although such an armed march made everyone tired, Ma Zhong was satisfied. Because the camp of Captain Wu Meng is becoming more and more proficient in building the camp, and it is becoming more and more disciplined. Even if there is no way to take Peng in the end, this marching training is enough to return to the basics.

On this day, Ma Zhong was urging the construction of the camp before the camp, and a scout came nervously, "My lord, I met the soldiers and horses after Peng Cai's break!" It was only half a day away from us. ”

Ma Zhong finally became a little excited, "Have you been discovered?" ”

The scout was a little embarrassed, but after all, he didn't dare to lie about the military situation, "I was discovered." ”

"Hmm. Go down. Ma Zhonghun waved his hand absently.

There is still a lot of fighting power on their side, if the opponent is only a small force, it can be eaten by surprise, and if the opponent has a large number of people, it also serves the purpose of containing the circumference.

Ma Zhonglei couldn't move to build the camp, and when it was about to be completed, the thieves who were spying finally appeared.

Ma Zhong's heart moved, and he hurriedly ordered, "Pass the order to go down and dig more stoves." ”

When he got close to the enemy, Ma Zhong was no longer careless, and while urging the improvement of the camp, he waited for the follow-up troops.

When they received Bailichuan Zhang Tang and others into the camp, the troops who had broken off the thieves also rushed over one after another.

Ma Zhong stood on the watchtower and looked, "More than two hundred." ”

Zhang Tang sighed with an unsightly face, "It's not easy to fight more than two hundred people." "I was depressed in my heart, what is this called, if Cen Wolf's fire word camp is there, how can these small bands of thieves be rampant.

Ma Zhong thought for a while and said with a smile, "It's okay, I don't know how many of us are on the other side." We opened the camp gate and continued to improve the camp. ”

Since Peng Cai misjudged the situation, it was naturally impossible to expect more than 200 people to stop Captain Wu Meng's battalion.

This small army can only be regarded as a vigilance, and now that it has detected its whereabouts, the other party has been slow to leave, and it is obvious that the large army of thieves will soon be able to rush over.

Ma Zhong's expression became a little cold, "It's not good to say, maybe there will be another fight." You two get ready. ”

Zhang Tang and Bailichuan agreed together.

War is like this, and once it comes, it is no longer avoidable if you want to.
