Zhu Lingyue was in a better mood when he heard Hou Jingang's battle report, but seeing the rocket that appeared in the night sky in front of him made him feel puzzled, and he quickly lifted his heart.

Although Sheng Xuantong guessed that the Xiguan Army used rockets as a signal to issue orders, but when it was surrounded on three sides, it was difficult for Zhu Lingyue to think of any new tricks that the Xiguan Army could have.

Although he was not good at military affairs, he was cunning, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "No, rockets will never be so simple...... The signal is good, this signal is ......! ”

"Zhu Du, what's wrong?" Seeing that Zhu Lingyue's face was already a little ugly, Sheng Xuantong also faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Could it be that the Xiguan Army still has reinforcements? There is also an ambush on the periphery? Zhu Lingyue muttered to himself, but shook his head: "It's impossible, the soldiers and horses here are already Chu Huan's main force, and he himself is a reinforcement, so how can he get other reinforcements?" ”

Sheng Xuantong hurriedly said: "Zhu Du, Chu Huan has no reinforcements, the strength in his hands, we are clear, the Jinzhou soldiers have been blocked in Hechuan, and now I am afraid that they have been wiped out by Chang Huan's troops under Ganhou, in addition, there are only Jiazhou soldiers and horses, but ...... Don't they care about Koshu, and there aren't many soldiers and horses over there, even if they come, it won't help...... ”

"Hechuan...... Always happy ......! Zhu Lingyue frowned, thoughtfully, suddenly turned the horse's head and looked at the rear, behind him, there were more than 10,000 infantry under the black pressure.

In order to strengthen the offensive of the north and south wings, Zhu Lingyue transferred 3,000 people, including shrimp toad soldiers, to the north and south wings, and there were six or seven thousand infantry deployed to the north and south wings.

The black crowd blocked Zhu Lingyue's sight, and although Zhu Lingyue was on a horse, he still couldn't see far.

"Xuantong, Ganhou is behind us?" The corners of Zhu Lingyue's eyes twitched.

Sheng Xuantong was a little puzzled, secretly thinking that Zhu Lingyue knew the position of each department well, and Ganhou's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses were deployed in the rear, why did Zhu Lingyue ask knowingly?

But his body shook suddenly, as if he thought of something, and said in surprise: "Zhu Du, do you mean?" ”

Zhu Lingyue had already shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible, no reason...... There is no reason for this, unless...... Unless he's crazy......! ”

Sheng Xuantong of course understood what Zhu Lingyue meant, and immediately said: "Zhu Du, it is absolutely impossible, as you said, it is unreasonable, and ...... And his sister is in our hands, does he want to kill his own sister...... ”

"Xuantong, ordered the whole army to turn around, and the rear team became the front team, just in case." Zhu Lingyue felt a little chill on the soles of his feet, although he also knew that Ganhou would never sneak attack from behind, but once such a situation really occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable, at this moment, he already felt that he was really negligent, in the face of absolute superiority, he still had negligence, no matter whether Ganhou would be in trouble or not, how could he let tens of thousands of elite Northwest Army who could fight well be deployed in his rear.

He was already feeling a chill down his spine.

"Zhu Du, do you really want to do this?" Sheng Xuantong didn't immediately give the order, but worried: "If the back team becomes the front team, and the blade faces Ganhou, what will Ganhou think?" Will he ...... because of this! ”

Although he didn't say it, of course Zhu Lingyue understood what Sheng Xuantong meant.

If Ganhou had no other intentions, but at this time let the Tianshan Army aim the blade at Ganhou behind, it would definitely be a great shame for Ganhou and the Northwest Army, not only would it make Ganhou and the Northwest Army feel that Zhu Lingyue did not trust them and was watching out for them, but it was also easy to lead other things to happen.

Zhu Lingyue and Ganhou have always been very sincere, at least on the surface, they attach great importance to Ganhou, and even obey their words, which also makes the alliance between the two sides solid on the surface.

And Zhu Lingyue's efforts were to make Gan Hou trust the Tianshan Army, believing that the Tianshan Mountains had treated the Northwest Army as his own family, which was also the basis of the alliance between the Tianshan Mountains and the Northwest Army.

However, once the blades are opposed, all the previous qiē will collapse in an instant, and this move directly and obviously tells Zhu Lingyue how distrustful he is of the Northwest Army.

Don't say that it is two armies, it is just two ordinary people, if they point at each other with blades, it will also make people feel full of hostility.

Zhu Lingyue was stunned for a moment, although he was cautious and cautious, just in case, but if just because of the rockets that appeared in the racecourse, he judged that Ganhou's troops were threatening, and then turned to beware, in case Ganhou and the Northwest Army did not have that kind of mind at all, it would be equivalent to forcing Ganhou and the Northwest Army to become enemies. Who can guarantee that when Ganhou sees the Tianshan Army turn around and cross the knife, he will not be angered by him, since the Tianshan Army is so wary of the Northwest Army, the foundation of cooperation between the two sides has been severely tested, and Ganhou is from the army, hot-tempered, and it is not impossible to do impulsive things in anger.

Zhu Lingyue was really in a dilemma at this time, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Why did you let Gan Hou set up a formation in the rear of our army?" ”

Sheng Xuantong saw that Zhu Lingyue was already annoyed, and he was a little worried, so he could only say: "When pursuing the Xiguan Army from Hezhou, the Northwest Army left behind the soldiers and horses to garrison in Hezhou City, and Ganhou personally deployed, so he set off later than us, and then followed from behind, and has been marching behind us....... But he didn't continue, thinking that you already knew about it, and there was no reaction at the time, so why is it suddenly annoyed now.

Zhu Lingyue tightened his brows, thoughtful, and uneasy, and said: "Send someone to find Ganhou, see their movements, if Ganhou asks, directly send an order, let the Northwest Army move to the northern flank, and assist Gu Liangchen to attack the northern defense line of the Xiguan Army with all his might." ”

Sheng Xuantong hurriedly said: "Obey the order, Zhu Du, the last general will go in person!" ”

"It's good!" Zhu Lingyue nodded, Sheng Xuan shook the reins of the horse and rode away.

As soon as Sheng Xuantong left, Zhu Lingyue heard a roar coming from the rear of the infantry in the rear, and then heard continuous screams.

"It's not ......!" Zhu Lingyue's face turned pale instantly, his body shook, and he almost fell off the horse, his eyes were angry, his eyes showed anger, and he had a look of disbelief, "Ganhou...... Gan Hou is really the opposite, this ...... How is this possible, how is it possible ......! The soldiers in front of the array were taken aback when they saw Zhu Lingyue staggering on horseback, as if he was about to fall off the horse, and someone had already rushed forward and exclaimed: "Zhu Du, you ......!" ”

Zhu Lingyue barely stabilized his body and said sharply: "Back...... Ganhou raided from behind, and ...... behind! "I raised my finger to the back, but I felt weak and dizzy.

The general who grabbed it was another infantry general under Zhu Lingyue, Ming Ji, who was low-key and had always been taciturn, and was called a "dumb general" in Tianshan in private, never speaking lightly, every meeting, when other generals expressed their opinions, Ming Ji did not spit out half a word, unless Zhu Lingyue asked automatically, Ming Ji would say a few words like gold.

This person was originally a Lang general of the Tianshan Praetorian Guard, in the early years under Zhu Lingyue, Dongfang Xin was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and the two Lang generals were Sheng Xuantong and Ming Ji, Dongfang Xin later presided over the Pingxi Army, and was recommended by Zhu Lingyue as the general of Pingxi, Sheng Xuantong succeeded Zhu Lingyue and became the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Ming Ji was still a Lang general.

But no one dares to underestimate this dumb general of the Tianshan Mountains, because of the lack of materials, there have been natural disasters for several years, and the bandits are numerous, and the Praetorian Guards are sent to suppress the bandits in the Ming Mountains, and the bandits in the Tianshan Mountains are the Ming Ji single-handedly pacified, so this person has a great reputation in the Tianshan Mountains, just because he is low-key, and the connections are not as good as Sheng Xuantong, and Sheng Xuantong's family belongs to the Hao family in the Tianshan Mountains, so he was stepped on by Sheng Xuantong.

After the contradiction between the cavalry and infantry, Sheng Xuantong led the infantry group to fight against Hou Jingang and other rising cavalry stars everywhere, and the cavalry group once wanted to use Sheng Xuantong to become the commander of the Praetorian Guard to provoke his relationship with Ming Ji, but he did not succeed, so although Ming Ji was extremely low-key, he was deeply respected by the infantry group, and he was the generals of the cavalry group, and he was also courteous to this person.

At this moment, Ming Ji already knew that the rear team was attacked, but he did not show a look of panic, and said sharply: "Fang Can, you lead the troops and horses of your department to defend Zhu Du, and the whole army will immediately turn around to meet the Northwest Army!" As he spoke, he had already turned over his horse, pulled out his sword, and shouted: "Soldiers listen to orders, don't panic, General Hou's cavalry is about to break through the horse farm, the Xiguan Army is no longer in trouble, you don't have to be afraid of the Northwest Army, they are not more numerous than us, keep a good formation, the archers retreat, the shield bearers rush up, and the pikemen are ...... behind!" ”

Although the rear team of the Tianshan infantry has been chaotic, many soldiers have shown a panicked color, but Ming Ji shouted loudly, the infantry revitalization did not immediately disperse, hearing Ming Ji's order, the archers immediately retreated from the queue, and the shield hand has quickly rushed to the rear, these infantry is based on the Praetorian Guard, supplemented by the Tianshan two state armies as the team, expanded, although most of the time to recruit recruits, but there are thousands of soldiers who originally belonged to the Tianshan Praetorian Guard.

The combat quality of the Tianshan Praetorian Guard was not weak, and at the critical moment, the infantry originally subordinate to the Tianshan Praetorian Guard maintained their composure and, under the command of Ming Ji, responded quickly.

It's just that the archers retreated, the shield soldiers moved to the rear, the formation was reorganized, and there was still a chaotic situation, on the battlefield, it was not easy to change the original formation, and between the changes, there would inevitably be chaos, and even there would be a flaw in the rear, Ming Ji was already trying his best to react, but the Northwest Army deliberately deployed the formation in the rear of the Tianshan Infantry Army at the beginning, and it was quietly killed on the whole line, and the rear screams were connected, Before many of the Tianshan infantry could react to what was going on, they had already been killed by swords and spears.
