"Master Wei, there is a fire in the direction of Pingyang!" Liang Shiyan slowed down, looked in the direction of Pingyang City, and said in a somewhat low voice. Looking at the red half of the sky, Liang Shiyan's heart was both shocked and heavy and tragic.

Although the distance was too far for Liang Shiyan to know the specific situation in Pingyang City, he could guess from the amazing fire that the battle in Pingyang City must be very fierce. Thinking of Yang Jian's fearless and resolute look, and thinking of the danger that the 10,000 soldiers left behind would face, Liang Shiyan's heart couldn't help but heavily.

Liang Shiyan saw the fire in Pingyang, and Wei Xiaokuan naturally took it in his sights. The light of the fire came thirty miles away, but thinking of the magnitude of the fire, Wei Xiaokuan's brows couldn't help frowning tightly, "What happened in Pingyang, how could such a fire be ignited, I'm afraid that half of Pingyang is in the sea of fire!" ”

After being reminded by Wei Xiaokuan, Liang Shiyan couldn't help but show surprise on his face, and then his face changed suddenly, his eyes were full of shock, and he whispered: "Could it be ......?"

"It's possible!" Even though Wei Xiaokuan has been through ups and downs for a long time and is accustomed to seeing the world, thinking of that possibility, his face couldn't help but completely change color, and he trembled with some disbelief: "Could it be that Yang Jian really uses his body as bait and wants to die with the Qi army?" ”

Liang Shiyan's breathing was obviously stagnant, and he pondered for a moment before he calmed down and said: "Look at the fire, this is the only way to explain it!" Although his tone was much calmer, his heart was overturned, and his back was cold.

Arson means slaughtering the city, and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people are burned to the ground, how much determination and ruthlessness does it take to give such an order, Liang Shiyan asked himself if he could do it, and Wei Xiaokuan also did not have the courage to do it.

"General Wei, for some reason, the enemy's front army has slowed down, and he is glad to have led the Chinese army to Pingyang City." At this moment, the scout of the Qi army, who was in charge of monitoring the pursuit behind him, suddenly came to report.

Wei Xiaokuan was stunned, and glanced at Liang Shiyan, both of them saw the strange brilliance in each other's eyes, which was excitement, excitement.

"Master Wei, this is our last chance." Liang Shiyan took a deep breath, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and although his tone tried his best to remain calm and calm, it still revealed the excitement in his heart.

Wei Xiaokuan pursed his lips tightly, his turbid and vicissitudes of life eyes stared closely at the direction of Pingyang City, and his brows were furrowed tightly, like a strong and powerful word "Sichuan".

"Master Wei, judging from the current situation, General Yang has achieved his goal, he has successfully dragged down the happiness, and the opportunity to turn defeat into victory is right in front of him, we should make a decision and kill back!" Liang Shiyan couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Wei Xiaokuan silent. The fighter plane is fleeting, and if you can't grasp it, you will regret it afterwards.

"If we retreat this time, it will not only damage Your Majesty's prestige, but also a blow to the morale of the whole army. The enemy's army in front of him was only 20,000 men, but our side was twice as large, so we had a great chance of winning if we were prepared and unprepared. ”

Liang Shiyan, as the core general of this Eastern Crusade, was naturally unwilling to return to the dynasty in such a disgraced manner, and now that the opportunity was in front of him, he naturally did not want to miss it. What's more, if he returns from such a big defeat, it is inevitable that the political enemies of the DPRK and China will not use this as a lever to attack him.

Since the beginning of the existence of government and politics, there has been no shortage of strife in the land of China, and although there is no blood, political struggle is the most bloody and cruel, and the slightest carelessness will fall into a situation from which there will be no return. Throughout the ages, this kind of fighting has never stopped, and it has never been possible.

"What Lord Liang said is extremely true." Liang Shiyan thought of Wei Xiaokuan naturally thought of it, but he was a little hesitant because of several failures. The cunning of happiness and the strength of the combat effectiveness of the Qi army made him unable to be optimistic, and he could not be uncautious.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Xiaokuan finally made up his mind: "Assemble the army and fight back!" Although his words were very low, they were sonorous and powerful, and his cloudy eyes became extraordinarily bright and hot, and his body once again exuded a compelling domineering aura.

……

"Stop!"

"General Xiao, why did you order the march to stop?" Cheng Yanjin was holding an extra-large Mo knife in his arms, with a big grin, and his steel needle-like beard was covered with frost shavings, but he didn't feel the cold at all.

"It's not good!" Xiao Maha glanced at Cheng Yanjin, twisted his eyebrows and looked around, under the flickering firelight, his face was a little dark and gloomy. For some reason, Xiao Maha felt uneasy for no reason, and even the war horse under his crotch seemed to feel something, and neighed a little restlessly.

"What's wrong? The Zhou army is right in front of us, we should rush up and kill them without leaving a piece of armor behind! Cheng bit Jin's eyebrows raised, and the bronze bell-sized eyes turned around, but he didn't find the slightest abnormality.

This place is an official road, because it is winter, the ground is frozen and hard, but it is more conducive to walking than in summer. Both sides of the official road are dense forests, the fallen leaves are scattered, bare and not desolate, and the whining sound is made under the raging cold wind, which is a little infiltrating.

"It's not a big mistake to be careful, have you forgotten the instructions of the major general when he came?" Xiao Maha observed for a long time and saw nothing different, but he still trusted his instincts and did not dare to venture easily. The fire broke out in Pingyang, this matter was by no means unusual, and the herald had already told him the news that he was happy to lead people to Pingyang, and Xiao Maha did not dare to be careless.

As he grew older, Xiao Maha also became more and more calm. The task of this happy delivery is mainly to surprise the enemy rather than kill the enemy, and Xiao Maha naturally unswervingly implements it.

Cheng Yanjin's expression froze, smiled wryly, scratched his head and said, "I haven't forgotten, it's just that the enemy is right in front of us, should we let them escape?" Maybe Yu Wenyong is among them, and catching him is not only a great achievement, but also a complete defeat of the Zhou army, making them collapse. ”

After a pause, Cheng Yanjin said with a confident face: "General Xiao, which of the brothers is not a battle-hardened elite, even if the Zhou people are ambushed, what can they do to me?" Let's say that there are only 50,000 people, even if it is 100,000 people, why are we afraid? ”

Xiao Maha glanced at Cheng Biting Jin, who was murderous and stood tall and high, but he didn't feel that the latter was a big talk. Happy to train the troops, keep improving, these years have been tempered in the war, and the strength of the combat power is one of the few in the entire Central Plains.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Maha said solemnly: "Send someone to Pingyang to find out what happened, and the others stay vigilant and move on!" ”

Seeing Xiao Maha say this, Cheng Yanjin suddenly showed an excited look. He was already an over-energetic and militant, and he hadn't experienced a decent war since the formation of the Modao Army. Seeing that Qin Qiong and the others were fighting in the south and the north, Cheng Yanjin was already impatient, and he couldn't wait for a big battle with the Zhou army.

After walking forward for a while, the ambush of the Zhou army never appeared, and Xiao Maha couldn't help but relax a little. At this moment, there was a sudden rumbling of footsteps ahead.

"The warriors of the Great Zhou, the time has come to be loyal to the emperor, avenge the dead brothers, and kill all the dogs! Kill! ”

With this earth-shattering roar, Xiao Maha saw a black torrent suddenly appear hundreds of meters in front of him, and he was murderously moving towards him. Looking at the dense black shadow, the number of people is probably no less than 20,000.

Xiao Maha's face changed drastically, his heart sank, and he shouted: "Enemy attack, meet the enemy!" As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out the halberd behind his back, staring at the enemy in front of him with his eyes cold and solemn.

"Kill!"

For the bitter and bitter Zhou Qi parties, all words are hypocritical and superfluous.

Although the appearance of the Zhou army was very sudden, which made Xiao Maha a little passive, the good military quality of the Qi army was reflected at this time. They were already very vigilant, and they did not panic in the face of the Zhou army's surprise attack, and with Xiao Maha's order, five thousand crossbowmen immediately bent their bows and arrows and launched an attack on the Zhou army in a projectile manner.

"Woohoo!"

Glad to improve the bow and crossbow, both the range and lethality are not the same as before, which also makes the Qi army take the lead. Although the bow and arrow lost its accuracy in the dark night, the dense rain of arrows still caused a lot of damage to the tightly formed Zhou army. With the muffled sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh, Zhou Junzhong suddenly heard one after another screams.

"Rush over and kill them without leaving a piece of armor behind!"

"The reward for capturing the happy alive is 10,000 taels, and the official is promoted to the third level!"

"Kill—"

The rain of arrows roared, but the Zhou army could not retreat, and only by advancing could it achieve the final victory, so that the bows and crossbows of the Qi army would lose their lethality. There must be brave men under the heavy reward, as the veteran Wei Xiaokuan rushed towards Xiao Maha first, the Zhou army, which had long been holding its breath, suddenly boiled, and they roared wildly, like a mad beast rushing towards the Qi army.

"Expel the enemy, protect the family and defend the country! Kill! ”

After a rain of arrows, the distance between the two sides had shortened a lot, and Xiao Maha suddenly shouted. As soon as the words fell, he jumped out of his horse and rushed towards the Zhou army that rushed like an arrow from the string.

"Kill!"

Behind Xiao Maha, 10,000 sword and shield hands roared in unison, with a shield in their left hand and a knife in their right hand, they rushed towards the Zhou army with a firm and powerful step, and as the distance got closer and closer, the evil qi on their bodies became more and more vigorous.

Xiao Mahama was fast, and it only took a few breaths to meet Zhou Jun. Without the slightest hesitation, he scolded lightly, and the halberd poked out like a spirit snake, piercing deep into the throat of Sergeant Zhou before he could react, leaving a terrifying hole.

Xiao Maha was unforgiving with a move, let go of the horse's reins with his left hand, and pulled out a short halberd from his back.

Xiao Maha has the courage to crown the three armies, and he almost single-handedly defeated the 100,000 army of the Qi State, although this is because of the incompetence of the Qi generals, but Xiao Maha's martial arts are comparable to Guan Zhang's undoubted.

Over the years, he has stood under the account of Gao Changgong, although he is in a high position, but because of his background, he has not established many meritorious achievements. Happy father and son did not blame him for this, but Xiao Maha felt guilty in his heart, and always wanted to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, so as to repay Happy for his kindness.

A few years have passed, Xiao Maha's martial arts have become more exquisite, and he has become more and more fierce in killing people, just a few breaths, and the Zhou army that fell under his double halberd has reached ten. At this time, 10,000 Qi saber and shield men also met the Zhou army, and a fierce encounter began.
