Outside the Black Valley, the smoke of gunpowder had dissipated, the mountain breeze was blowing, the shadows of the trees were waving, and everything had returned to calm, as if the great battle an hour ago was just an illusion.

Wang Huan, together with Ma Xintian and Zu Bian, stood on a hillside slightly away from the valley mouth, where the blood was too heavy, and the smoke made people vomit, so they had to stay away.

A group of officers and soldiers were bound by long ropes, ten people were strung in a string, escorted by two people armed with bamboo guns and sticks, and walked down the hillside with their heads bowed.

"My lord, after cleaning up the battlefield, count the corpses, and kill a total of 492 enemy soldiers, a total of 769 good bird commanders, 507 medicine jars, 970 waist knives, and 518 soldiers captured, a great victory!" Zu Bian reported the number with a smile on his face, and even his eyebrows were smiling.

"In addition, I also caught Yang Zhan's pioneer Niu Sicheng, I heard that this person is still Yang Zhan's brother-in-law, and he has to be taken care of by Yang Zhan." Ma Xintian added lightly, barely moving his mouth when he spoke, Zu Bian blinked at him, trying to figure out how he made a sound.

Wang Huan looked at the group of captives at the bottom of the hillside, and saw from a distance a military general dressed in beautiful mountain armor and wearing an eight-petal iron helmet was also strung among a group of officers and soldiers, walking hobbly, and couldn't help frowning.

"This kind of thing, except for his identity as Yang Zhan's brother-in-law, is nothing, but the armor on his body is bright, pick it up." Wang Huan shook his head and said, "It's a pity that he wears it." ”

Malone clenched his fists in response and ran down the hill with flying steps.

Wang Huan watched a team of people walking past the side of the captive team with more than a dozen carts, loaded with bird knives and other things, and squeaked and pulled them in the direction of Wanshou Valley.

"In this battle, our army won a complete victory, with 150 soldiers and 4,000 people, defeated 1,000 Zeng Ying's army, and killed more than 400 people and captured more than 600 people, while our side only killed more than 10 people, which can be described as a great victory." Wang Huan said in a deep voice.

Zu Bian grinned happily: "Of the dozen or so who died in battle, there are five or six who were killed in the end, and I was hacked to death by not obeying the order, and those who really died at the hands of officers and soldiers, I am afraid that there are less than ten." ”

Wang Huan nodded, looked at the people who were huddled together, and smiled and said: "This is exactly what I am worried about, our soldiers are too few, the people can be emergency, but they can't rely on it, the order is not stopped, when they charge out, they are afraid of life and death, and they are greedy for life and death when they hold each other, and they get carried away when they win. ”

"If today's official army commander is not Niu Sicheng, replaced by Yang Zhan or Zeng Ying, I'm afraid that a few of us will not be standing here so easily chatting now, and in the end, the officers and soldiers of less than a hundred people, who are not afraid of death, almost made thousands of people turn around and escape, if it weren't for the ancestral side to stabilize the position, I'm afraid there would be a big mess."

Ma Xintian looked thoughtful, nodded with a complicated expression: "That's true, Niu Sicheng is cowardly and incompetent, and the officers and soldiers will surrender on their knees so easily without a leader, and if you change someone who is capable, today's battle is another result." We can win, but at great cost. ”

Wang Huan sighed, patted Zu Bian's shoulder heavily, and said sincerely: "Zu Bian, fortunately, you made a decision immediately, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." When you rushed into battle, you took the lead, and when you surrendered, you erected military discipline, and you deserved to be a fierce general of the Ming border army! You should be the first to do it today. ”

The square head of the ancestor was about to sway and become round, and the smug and pretending to pretend to excuse the crepe said: "Where and there, the adults praise falsely, the adults praise falsely, they are all adults strategizing and winning thousands of miles, and the end will just do some small things." ”

He said this, but he looked left and right, and kept squeezing his eyebrows at Ma Xintian and the others, and the look of showing off was written on his face, if there was a tail, it would be raised to the sky.

Ma Xintian just smiled faintly, he knew that Wang Huan was an omnipotent existence in Zubian's heart, and he could get Wang Huan's affirmation, of course, he was overjoyed, Ma Xintian had an indifferent personality, he didn't take it to heart, he turned a blind eye to his small actions, and Zubian's show-off was shown to the ghost.

Wang Huan redirected his gaze to the queue of captives strung into a sugar gourd, and said solemnly: "It seems that we still have to train our troops, no matter how busy we are, we have to draw Ding into the army and teach the array, otherwise Zeng Ying's next attack, we will not be able to have such good luck,"

He pressed the mountain-destroying crossbow hanging from his waist, and said to Ma Xintian and Zubian in a deep voice: "From tomorrow, every day after noon, three thousand households in Wanshou City will go to the school for training, rain or shine, and the training method will be carried out by the soldiers of the 100-person team of 30 people each, and they will be trained according to the method I taught, and the 100-person team will be trained by me personally in the morning!" ”

Ma Xintian and Zubian looked straight, and said in a loud voice at the same time: "Oh! ”

……

Outside Wanshou Valley, Yang Zhan's face has turned purple, the two thousand people who dug the mountain in the front army have been busy for a long time, in addition to digging out countless large and small stones, but they have not advanced half a distance, the pile of earth and stones that blocked the mountain road has not decreased and increased, and it is still tightly packed into the valley, in fact, it is not to blame the soldiers for not doing their best, there are too many rocks in this mountain, stacked layer upon layer, digging the next piece and rolling down a pile, how to finish digging?

And the person who was sent out to be good at mountain climbing, went for a long time, and did not come back, and there was an army of 9,000 standing in a daze under his command, but he could only stand stupidly outside the valley and watch the scenery, so aggrieved, how could he not be annoyed?

"Military Gate, Military Gate! The climbers are back! "There are thousands of people who hurriedly ran from the valley and shouted at the top of their voices.

Yang Zhan was in good spirits, got up and stood up in a hurry, took three steps and made two steps, ran towards the shouting Qianhu, and said uncontrollably: "What about people? Hurry up! ”

A soldier covered in mud was pulled by Mr. Qian, staggering all the way to Yang Zhan, Yang Zhan grabbed his shirt, almost pulled him to him, glared and asked, "How?" But do you see what's going on over there? ”

But the soldier cried out, crying silently: "The military gate, defeated, defeated!"

Yang Zhan only felt that his eyes were dark, and what he was worried about had happened, but he gritted his teeth, beat his spirit, tightened his hands, and asked in a hateful voice: "What the hell is going on?" ”

The soldier was almost strangled and angry, rolled his eyes and said: "The little one climbed the mountain, lying on the top of the mountain, and saw that General Niu's entire army was annihilated, the dead and wounded were all over the ground, and the blood flowed like a river, and there were thousands of barbarians carrying the bound officers and soldiers, and went in the direction of the stone pillar." ”

On the side, Yang Zhan's cronies saw that Yang Zhan's face was blue, and his teeth were almost bitten through his face, but he couldn't speak, and hurriedly asked for him, "Where is General Niu?" Did you see General Niu? ”

The soldier grabbed his neck, tried his best to hold Yang Zhan's hand, and said with great difficulty: "General Niu was captured by the barbarians, and the barbarians stripped General Niu of his clothes and armor in public, and drove him naked to the stone pillar. ”

When Yang Zhan heard this, he couldn't hold on any longer, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground, unconscious.

The generals were so frightened that chickens and dogs jumped up and rushed to the camp, shouting as they ran: "Langzhong, where is Langzhong?" The military gate is frightened! ”
