As the first rays of morning light fell in the east, a new day began, and the heavens and the earth suddenly became bright, but Huang Fayan's face was terrifyingly dark.

Overnight, he lost another 1,000 soldiers, which is not a large number. But everyone stayed awake all night, and at this time the mental state was extremely poor and the morale was extremely low. Huang Fayan originally wanted to attack Yangping City frantically, but when he looked at those soldiers with bloodshot eyes and a depressed and tired face, his heart was cold, and the anger in his chest could not be excreted. It's both anger and remorse.

There are many hills, rivers and lakes in the south, which are not suitable for large-scale cavalry battles, so the defense against cavalry is not very strong. The enemy cavalry who robbed and killed his own grain transporters, Huang Fayan didn't expect it. They thought of the sharpness of the enemy's weapons, the strength of their range, and the accuracy of their judgments.

In Huang Fayan's view, the 20,000 Chen* troops who were vigilant could not be curried to by the enemy. But the opposite is true, the enemy has always taken the initiative, harassing them with powerful bows that far exceed the range of their own bows.

Compared with Huang Fayan's frowning and fidgeting, he was happy but excited. After finally harassing Chen's army with this, he led everyone to retreat fifty miles at night, and had already stayed away from Yangping City.

The task of harassment is completed, and the next thing to see is Wang Lin's performance. Wang Lin has been in battle for a long time, and Chen*'s military camp has been in chaos overnight, how can he not understand what happened? In the past few days, the reason why the soldiers and civilians of Yangping City have been reborn and have broken out with a strong will to fight is entirely because he told everyone that the wise and martial King Lanling has sent reinforcements and has destroyed the enemy's grain route.

It is a lush forest, more than seventy miles away from Yangping City in a straight line. At this time, Happy and his party were resting in it.

"General, what are we going to do next?" Yao Zhong, the dog baby, approached the happy face and asked excitedly.

After a few days of fighting, although he still looks a little naïve, his facial lines are a lot stiffer, his eyes are a little more fierce, and his body is full of fierceness.

Instead of answering, he asked with concern, "Does the wound still hurt?" ”

Yao Zhong was stunned for a moment, a flash of gratitude flashed in his eyes, he shook his head, and said nonchalantly: "It's just a small injury, why worry about it!" It's just that I am angry that I have a knife wound on my body, and they have taken all the credit from me! ”

There was a big boo around them, and everyone turned their heads with disdain. Yao Zhong was anxious, his face was flushed, and he said angrily: "Are you not convinced? In terms of strength, apart from Commander Shang and our generals, who of you is my opponent? ”

"Brute force only!"

"That's it, when did you learn the skills of a general and then come to show off in front of us!"

"You guys, huh!" Yao Zhong had a look of wistfulness.

To say that the Chen * army sent by Huang Fayan for the third time is indeed elite, not to mention its strong combat effectiveness, it still has a desperate ruthlessness in its bones. Under the suppression of powerful weapons such as bows and crossbows of the happy people, they still fought stubbornly. In the final hand-to-hand combat, many cavalrymen were injured, and Yao Zhong's abdomen was almost pierced by Chen *jun's spear. Fortunately, Xing Xing's eyes were quick, and he threw out the spear in his hand and knocked the spear in the hand of Chen *jun's soldier out, even so, Yao Zhong's abdomen was cut open with a big hole that was more than half a foot long.

Happy Wan Er smiled and said solemnly: "Okay, hurry up and eat and rest, there will be tasks in a while!" If anyone is injured because he hasn't rested well, I will definitely train him well when I go back! ”

Everyone immediately shut down, consciously fulfilled their duties, and everything was in order.

"General, do you think Chen's army will retreat?" Shang Buqi sat next to Xing Xing and asked.

He smiled happily: "Whether Chen *jun retreats or not, the initiative is not in their hands, but in ours." Happy paused, and then said: "We made trouble for Huang Fayan all night, and Chen *jun is estimated not to attack the city today, unless he wants the remaining 20,000 people to be buried here." However, Huang Fayan will definitely not be willing to retreat, and he is afraid that he will be desperate! ”

"Then what to do, the defenders of Yangping City are less than three thousand, and after months of war, the soldiers and civilians have been extremely exhausted, and the materials in the city are also scarce, and the city walls are also dilapidated and crumbling, I am afraid that they will not be able to support it for long!" The tone of the non-abandonment was a little heavy.

Happy smile: "You can relax, General Wang Lin has been fighting in the south and north for decades, he can stop Huang Fayan alone for three months, and now foreign aid is coming, Chen * army morale is low, only three days, Chen * army will be cut off because of military food, no attack will collapse!" What's more, have you forgotten that there are still us? We are the straw that breaks the camel's back! ”

Before he gave up, the melancholy on his face dissipated, and he returned to that calm appearance. After eating, except for the necessary guards, the rest of the people rested quietly, and in just a few breaths, there was a burst of snoring in the forest.

Regardless of the occasion, the thousand cavalrymen were able to quickly fall asleep and immediately wake up into battle when needed. Three months of high-intensity training, as well as the actual combat of running around in the past few days, have already made everyone understand that maintaining a good physical condition at all times is an important capital for survival.

Suddenly, the joy of closing the cultivation cross-legged opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and after a short time, I saw a scruffy beggar striding into the woods, walking towards happiness.

"General."

"Come on, let's drink some water first, and then sit down." With a warm smile on his face, he handed the water bladder beside him to the sloppy beggar, that is, Zhang Shunzhi.

Zhang Shunzhi thanked him, drank most of the water in one go, and then breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said: "General, there are three thousand Chen* troops escorting a batch of baggage to Yangping City, and there are still two hours away from here. His words were very hurried, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, which kept falling downward.

happily smiled and patted Zhang Shunzhi's shoulder, and praised: "Thank you for your hard work, Shunzhi, go down and rest!" ”

Zhang Shunzhi shook his head, answered the call and went down to rest. happily looked at the direction of the pipeline outside the forest, and his eyes flashed with a fierce and helpless light.

"General, is the operation about to begin?" Shang Buqi came behind Happy and asked respectfully.

Nodding happily, he stood up from the ground and gently spat out two words in his mouth, "Assemble!" ”

Although the head has been tilted to the west, the air is still very hot, making people groggy and unable to lift their spirits.

A grain convoy of about 3,000 people walked slowly on the silent and somewhat desolate official road in the afterglow. Although the sweat had crawled all over their faces and soaked their clothes, they did not dare to take off their clothes, wiped a handful of sweat, and looked around vigilantly.

"Stop!"

Xu Feng raised his hand, and the three thousand soldiers behind him immediately stopped, tightened the blades in their hands, and looked around vigilantly.

Xu Feng is a man in his forties, with a thin face, somewhat dark skin, a lock of goatee on his chin, and a pair of eyes that are shining, and his momentum is calm.

Just looking at the forest a hundred meters away in front of him, Xu Feng's brows couldn't help frowning tightly. It's so quiet, it's weirdly quiet. With such a big movement of his group, there was not a single bird in the forest, which is simply abnormal, and it can only show one problem, there is an ambush in the forest.

Walking all the way from Shiliang City, Xu Feng's mind never relaxed for a moment. Before coming, Wu Mingche's advice was still echoing in his ears, "Xu Feng, the grain transport soldiers sent to Yangping have not returned yet, I'm afraid that something has happened." General Ben expects that General Huang's grain and grass are already insufficient, and whether Yangping can take it depends on whether the grain and grass you escort can arrive safely. You are the most stable person under this general, and this trip must be yours, but you must be careful and not live up to the expectations of this general!

Xu Feng stared at the forest for a full quarter of an hour, his brows furrowed tightly, the expected enemy did not appear, but he was in a dilemma.

If it was only 3,000 foot soldiers, it would be too easy, just take a detour, but the hundreds of trucks behind him were heavy, and the heavy vehicles did not have the ability to cross mountains and mountains, and the front line urgently needed grain and grass, and there was no difference between sending it late and not sending it yourself.

Finally, Xu Feng made up his mind, and after sending five hundred foot soldiers with shields to explore the way, he lined up the baggage carts on the periphery, and all the soldiers formed a dense formation, moving forward step by step.

"Phew!" When Xu Feng and his party first walked to the middle of the woods, they had to stop, and dozens of meters away, large rocks and trees blocked the way, forcing them to stop. Xu Feng's heart sank, and he was about to give an order, when he heard a rough shout.

"Defense!" Xu Feng was shocked and shouted. All the Chen *jun quickly stopped and moved. With a sonorous sound, the shield soldier in the front line immediately formed a shield wall with the shield in his hand, and stood in lunges, the spear in his hand sticking out from the gap between the shields, looking like a big hedgehog from a distance.

"I planted this tree, I opened this road, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road wealth!" The rough and arrogant voice rang out.

Xu Feng rode on horseback and looked around, only to see dozens of people coming out of the woods, led by a sturdy man with a simple face, wearing black clothes, but he was a little pickled, and his sleeves and trousers were still pulled up high, revealing his limbs covered with thick hair. He seemed to sit lazily on horseback, his eyes wide with rage, and he pretended to be vicious, but a closer look revealed that he was trembling as he grasped the reins and his arm with a shiny steel knife.

Behind the big man, there was a losing man, all dressed in similar clothes, tattered, but half of them were riding horses, half of them were standing on the ground, but the weapons in their hands were not flattering, and there were even wooden sticks and branches.

The horses on which these men rode were all extraordinary at first glance, all tall and strong, but if you looked closely, you could find that at the joints of the limbs of the door, they were wrapped in thick rags, and the slightest rainbow soaked through.

Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it is always a good thing not to be ambushed by the regular army, but it is just a small thief who robs, and it is not even a dish for three thousand well-trained soldiers.

A few steps forward on the horse, Xu Feng pointed forward with a whip, and shouted angrily: "Who is the rat, dare to stop my army from moving forward, could it be that he is afraid of his life?" If you don't get out of the way with me, I'll wait for the dog's life! ”

The leader of the big man trembled, and almost fell off the horse, if it wasn't for the support of a person behind him, I am afraid that he would have fallen off the horse to eat the soil.

"What are you doing with your shouting? Scared the king! Have you ever heard of the name of Yao Zhong, the Demon King of the Mixed World? The big man's eyes widened, and he shouted back in a louder voice, but he secretly asked the person behind him: "Second brother, it's broken, they are regular soldiers, what should we do!" Damn, I rushed out without even thinking about it? It's just that his voice was rough and rough, not much lower, and all Chen *jun heard it clearly.

"Your Majesty, at this point, we have no choice but to surrender." The man behind him said pretending to be calm.
