In the vast cool mountains, only scattered wildflowers have not faded, and many branches are hung with fruits, pressing the branches to the ground, and an adult, as long as he stands on the ground, can easily catch the fruits on the branches. On a secluded mountain path, a squad of cavalry was galloping north, and because of the ruggedness of the road, they were not much faster than the infantry.

An officer wearing bright light armor urged the soldiers loudly: "Hurry, hurry, speed up." ”

"General Man, the road is uneven, the curvature is very large, it's not easy to walk!" His own soldiers had bitter faces.

"The road is uneven?" Man Gui was furious, "Didn't you see His Highness cleaning up Wang Er's bandits, like cutting leeks?" Do you want to be cut by someone else? ”

The soldiers didn't know what the speed had to do with cutting leeks, but Man Gui was angry, so he had to listen: "Yes, General Man, we will speed up." ”

Another officer wearing Mingguang armor urged the horse to take a few steps and catch up with Man Gui in front: "General Man, why don't there be any bandits?" "It was Liu Yuxuan, the commander of the cavalry guard of the Fenwu Battalion, who spoke.

"These bandits are all tofu, and when they heard that the imperial army was coming, they had already hid in his mother's crotch. Don't be in a hurry, cast out the rangers, and see where the bandits go out of the city first. Man Gui slowed down his pace and glanced back and forth, looking very unwilling.

"The Ranger has been released a long time ago, and there has been no response yet." Liu Yuxuan replied immediately.

"It's okay, go to the designated place first, and be careful not to raise dust for the horses." Man Gui whipped the horses fiercely, and came to the front of the team again, but he couldn't find the bandits, he was more anxious than anyone else.

The more than three thousand cavalry stopped in the valley ahead.

"Except for the soldiers on guard, everyone dismounted and rested, and the time was a pillar of incense. After a pillar of incense, whether there is a message or not, you must get on your horse and be ready to attack at any time. With a gloomy face, Man Gui took the lead in dismounting, he broke a small branch and held it in his hand, and kept beating the small stone under the seat.

"General Man, the soldiers are running wildly all the way, very tired, let them rest for a while! Wait for the ranger to send back the message, and then get on the horse, it's not too late. Liu Yuxuan pleaded.

"Now they are all Lao Tzu's soldiers, under Lao Tzu's command, you are less verbose!" Man Gui's big mouth was open, and his Adam's apple was swimming violently. "If there is no message back, rest well at night, Lao Tzu is still hungry, late, and he doesn't even have soup to drink."

Liu Yuxuan shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak anymore.

In the open space of the valley, there were soldiers lying all over the place, and in order to save time, they did not unbuckle their armor, but slept on the grass or stones, or leaned against the trunks of trees by the roadside.

The soldiers who were in charge of logistics could not rest yet, and they had to carry buckets to the mountains in search of springs.

When the time for a pillar of incense came, the soldiers all climbed onto their horses, Man Gui was at the front of the line, and Liu Yuzhuan was close behind him.

"Da, da, da." The monotonous sound of horses' hooves quickly broke the silence of the empty valley, and Liu Yushuan's heart tightened.

"General Man, the bandits are out of the city." To the northwest, a ranger has finally returned.

"Where's the bandits?" Man Gui rode his horse and rushed to the front of the ranger, who trained the ranger, why can't he finish the words at one time? When the battle is over, the boss will have to withdraw your Ranger qualification.

"Anzhai, the bandits have left the city and are confronting General Yuan in the south of the city." The ranger bowed on the horse's back, out of breath, and pointed his finger in the direction of the walled city.

"Anzhai?" Man Gui muttered to himself, he suddenly pushed away the ranger in front of him, and galloped wildly, "Zhang Heng and Wang Qiang follow me, Commander Liu takes Wang Huan and makes a detour to the north gate. ”

In the south of Anzhai City, Yuan Chonghuan was arguing with Li Bei, and when he saw that he didn't agree with each other, he was about to use his sword. Suddenly, the horse's hooves clattered in the northeast corner, thick smoke billowed out, and a group of cavalry went straight into Li Bei's rear team.

"Oh no, I've been tricked." Don't be surprised, where did the officers and soldiers get so many cavalry? He didn't have time to think about it, turned his horse's head, and rushed towards the south gate.

Man Gui personally took the lead, and more than 2,000 cavalry chased directly to the city gate.

Li Bei is the main general of Anzhai second only to Wang Zuohang, and the defenders at the head of the city dare not open the city gate. But as soon as the gates opened, the defeated soldiers ran desperately into the city, blocking the narrow gates. Man Gui didn't care about the lone bandits, he rushed directly to the city gate.

"Close the gates, close the gates." The small leader of the defenders shouted loudly, but it was no longer effective, and the bandits were crowded like snails at the gates, and the gates could not be closed.

Man Gui's cavalry had already chased to the city gate, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds continued to harvest the lives of the bandits. In order to escape for their lives, the bandits desperately squeezed into the city, hoping to squeeze out a passage to live.

The passage was squeezed out, but the gates were completely open.

Man Gui was willing to let go of this excellent opportunity, and two thousand cavalry marched forward bravely. Some of the bandits outside the city gate were killed by Man Gui's cavalry, and some fled to the city, and Man Gui chased into the city along the passage where the bandits fled. He killed the defenders in front of the city gate and completely occupied the south gate.

From Mangui to the city gate, until the city gate was captured, it was only a few minutes. Yuan Chonghuan reacted at this time, and he shouted at the soldiers: "What are you still doing? Town. ”

Yuan Chonghuan's soldiers took over the southern city gate, and Man Gui was free, and he led the cavalry to chase and kill bandits in the city. Hungry Man Gui, how could he let go of this great opportunity? He wants to eat a full meal, as long as there are no bandits who surrender on their knees, Man Gui will be killed.

The streets were full of chickens and dogs, and bandits were scattered, but how could the speed of the infantry be as fast as that of the cavalry? The bandits found that they could not escape the pursuit, so they hid in private houses and fled for their lives.

When Wang Zuohang heard that the South City Gate was lost, he was so shocked that he couldn't even hold a weapon in his hands.

"General, let's go, the officers and soldiers have entered the city." The soldiers dragged Wang Zuo to hang up the war horse and fled from the north city gate.

"This Mangui, the meat has been eaten by him, but I don't have any soup to drink." Coming to the outside of the northern city, Liu Yuxuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Suddenly, a small group of cavalry came out of the city and galloped north. "How can there be cavalry in the city? Could it be Wang Zuohang? Liu Yuxuan shouted excitedly, and he personally led people to chase this group of cavalry.

Look closer and closer, but the cavalry in front did not stop.

"Li Pan, archery, shooting the leader." Liu Yuzhuan shouted in a hurry.

Li Pan turned out to be a subordinate of Li Hongjun, who was transferred to the cavalry guard because he won the championship in the Fenwu Battalion archery competition. He shot a copper coin thrown in the air when he won the championship, but now he is facing men and horses, and if he misses, he will not have the face to stay in the cavalry guard.

With a "whoosh", an arrow hit the back of the heart, revealing from the chest. With an "ahh

The guards around him were about to come to the rescue, Liu Yuxuan had already killed him with the cavalry, and beheaded four more people, and the rest of the bandits fled north.

Yuan Chonghuan had completely occupied the county seat of Anzhai, and in addition to the killed and surrendered bandits, about 2,000 people fled.

Liu Yuxuan took out the severed head, brought it back to the city, and asked the bandits to identify it, and sure enough, it was Wang Zuohang. Liu Yuxuan was overjoyed, although he did not break the city, but beheading the chief general of the bandits was also a great achievement.

Yuan Chonghuan blamed Man Gui for robbing him of his credit, and was about to scold him, but Man Gui hugged him: "Brother, you eat a lot of meat, you have to let my brother and me drink some soup, right?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't be angry, couldn't laugh, couldn't be annoyed, couldn't scold, so he had to clench his right hand and punch Man Gui's shoulder three times, which was considered to vent his dissatisfaction, "Next, I want to settle the people in the city, do you want to rob me?" ”

"Never, brother, how can I rob my brother of his job?" Man Gui curled his four fingers and pointed his thumb out of the door, "Brother, how far I go, never delay your business, brother." Then he turned around and waved his hand to Liu Yushuo: "Let's go, let's go back to the mountains and forests." ”

Liu Yuxuan saluted Yuan Chonghuan and was about to leave with Man Gui.

"No, you have to go, leave Wang Zuo's head behind." Yuan Chonghuan quit, the Battle of Anzhai, he was the supreme commander, and all the credit for this battle had his share. If Liu Yuyan handed over Wang Zuo's head directly to Zhu Youzhen, then there would be no matter of him Yuan Chonghuan at all.

Liu Yuyan looked at Man Gui and hesitated. Man Gui's big mouth opened: "Brother, you have to let my brother show his merit in front of King Xin, right?" Besides, it is true that our cavalry killed people. After speaking, he pouted to Liu Yu.

Liu Yuyan understood, but he didn't care about resigning to Yuan Chonghuan, and quietly withdrew from the sight of the two while he was theorizing with Man Gui. After leaving the camp, he immediately mounted his horse, hung Wang Zuo's head on his horse, and flew east with his cavalry.

Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan grinded for a while, and it was estimated that Liu Yuyan had already gone away, so he gave up his hand and said goodbye to Yuan Chonghuan.

In the northeast of Anzhai, Man Gui caught up with Liu Yulian.

"General Man, what's the use of Wang Zuo's head? Why didn't the general give it to General Yuan? "Liu Yuyan is Man Gui's subordinate, and his qualifications are too far from Man Gui's, of course he doesn't dare to be tough with Yuan Chonghuan.

"Boy, I'll learn from the general. You haven't fought any battles, and with the general, not only will you have to drink the soup, but even the meat will not be missing you. If it weren't for the horse, Man Gui would definitely stroke Liu Yuyan's child's head. However, this Liu Yuyan is still clever, as long as he makes a look, he knows that he will run away with Wang Zuohang's head.

"General Man, the last general really doesn't know what this head is for, do you believe that His Royal Highness will give us a great credit?" Liu Yuyan still admired Man Gui's decisiveness, and was stunned to snatch the great achievement of seizing the city from Yuan Chonghuan's hands, it seems that Man Gui did not regard the cavalry as an auxiliary soldier of the infantry at all.

"Don't worry about it, when the time comes, there will be meat to eat, and General Ben will be indispensable to you." Man Gui also pretended to be deep.

"That is, General Man is a model for the whole army, how can he lose his subordinates." Liu Yuxuan sent a high hat in time, he knew that with Man Gui, it would be a matter of time before he made meritorious contributions.
