Liao Yun and Zhang Meng led the army to walk forward for several miles, the sky was already white, Zhang Meng was a little impatient, and said: "The march is so slow, when will we catch up." ”

Liao Yun looked at the hills that came this way, and said: "I'd rather not catch up with the enemy than take the risk, otherwise I will be ambushed by the enemy and regret it too late." ”

Zhang Meng squeezed forward and approached Liao Yun, and said with a smile: "Brother Liao, how about I discuss something with you?" ”

Liao Yun was stunned for a moment, when did Zhang Meng be so polite, and immediately said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Zhang Meng said: "I'll take 500 people first, and you will lead a large team of people to come, how about it?" But when you go back, you can't tell me about it, otherwise I'll turn my face and deny people. ”

Liao Yun chuckled: "Are you still so arrogant when you ask for someone?" Forbid! ”

"Hey, don't be embarrassed, you kid, I'm going to decide."

Liao Yun said: "Aren't you afraid that I will sue you in front of the lord?" ”

Zhang Meng cried with a sad face, but he immediately chuckled flatteringly, and said: "You see if this will work, if I go here, if I make a meritorious service, it will be yours, if I fail, even if it is mine, it has nothing to do with you, how about it?" ”

Liao Yun was also speechless, I don't know what Zhang Meng thought in his heart, is fighting just for fun? Don't you feel happy if you don't kill?

He couldn't understand that Zhang Meng didn't even want credit for fighting in order to fight, and he had to risk being punished.

Looking at the surrounding hills, Liao Yun was a little worried, according to the spies, there was an enemy army three miles ahead, but the enemy was getting closer and closer, and he was getting more and more uneasy.

Maybe there was really an ambush, but Liao Yun was not afraid, because there were spies along the way to explore the surrounding environment, and if there was really an ambush, he would definitely find it in advance.

Looking at the look of anticipation on Zhang Meng's face in front of him, Liao Yun had an idea in his heart, since Zhang Meng wanted to risk his life, then simply fulfill him, one can test the enemy's ambush for him, and the other can try the enemy's strength, even if he is ambushed, with Zhang Meng's martial arts, it will definitely be fine, at most, it is better to lose five hundred sergeants, than five thousand soldiers to go to death.

After paying attention, Liao Yun said: "Okay, I agreed, and you will lead five hundred soldiers to explore the way, but if you encounter an ambush, don't act rashly, and wait for my army to arrive before making plans." ”

"Haha, okay."

Zhang Meng said briskly: "You kid, it's interesting enough, when this battle is over, I will invite you to drink." ”

Zhang Meng laughed loudly, and then came to the Chinese army and ordered five hundred spear warriors, these five hundred people followed Zhang Meng and took a step forward, the speed was very fast, and they disappeared from Liao Yun's sight in a short time.

Liao Yun sighed: "Good luck." ”

Behind a hill, there are five hundred soldiers in ambush here, including two hundred archers, all arranged by Cai Wenzhuo, led by a general in Minglan County, who is mediocre in martial arts and rarely leads the army, and is a child of a family in Minglan County, named Li Lian.

Five hundred ambush soldiers waited quietly, and suddenly, seeing a large group of men and horses running in the distance, a soldier came to Li Lian and said, "General, they are here." ”

Li Lian was very nervous, because this was the first time he led his troops to fight, although he usually read military books, but there was still a gap between military books and reality.

"General, do you want to fight?" The soldier puffed.

Li Lian tightened his palms, looked down carefully, and only relieved when he saw that the enemy troops were only a few hundred, Li Lian said: "This must be the enemy's vanguard force, only a few hundred people, there is no threat to us, ignore them, their main force is still behind, let them go." ”

The soldier said, "But Mr. Wen Zhuo said that if he encounters the enemy, he will wave his flag and shout and attack. ”

Li Lian said: "Mr. Wen Zhuo didn't see that it was just a small force of the enemy, otherwise he would have dealt with it like this, and if he passed the order, no one was allowed to act rashly without my order." ”

"Yes." The soldier turned and left.

Zhang Meng led five hundred men to gallop all the way, without encountering any obstacles, the march was very fast, and after a while, he ran in front of the hill where Li Lian was ambushed.

After tea.

Zhu Huan was sitting on the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, when he suddenly heard the sound of slashing from the rear army, at this time, Cai Wenzhuo hurriedly drove his horse over: "Master Hou, it's not good, the enemy is coming." ”

"What, didn't you arrange for an ambush?" Zhu Huandao.

Cai Wenzhuo is not a fairy, he doesn't know what is wrong, it stands to reason that between the ambush of five hundred soldiers and the hills, after waving the flag and shouting, he can pretend to be two thousand soldiers, and the enemy will not dare to chase and kill when he sees it, because there are indeed two thousand soldiers in Minglan County, and Wang Xujun has to scruple.

But now that the enemy has slain, is it possible to say that all the ambush soldiers are dead? It's terrible.

Now is not the time to regret, Cai Wenzhuo said: "Master Hou, let's retreat quickly." ”

"Yes, retreat, retreat immediately." Zhu Huan stepped out of the carriage, unloaded the war horse on the carriage, and finally rode on the war horse, attracting hundreds of soldiers next to him: "Go, protect the retreat of the marquis." ”

"Yes."

Hundreds of people walked away, leaving Cai Wenzhuo standing in place, he couldn't help but sigh, such a Hou Ye will not be able to achieve a big deal after all.

At this moment, the distant shouts of killing gradually approached

Zhang Meng slashed all the way with a sledgehammer, regardless of whether there were unarmed civilians or enemy troops in front of him, anyway, as long as someone stood in the way, he would kill all the way, he never loved to fight, and drove the war horse to run forward, because he knew very well that the real officials and generals were in front, and those behind were all small minions, and it was not interesting to kill.

The five hundred spearmen he led followed closely behind Zhang Meng, but they couldn't catch up with Zhang Meng's footsteps no matter what, and finally they couldn't see Zhang Meng's figure.

There were five centurions of five hundreds, and after discussion, the five decided to deal with all the enemy troops with weapons in their hands first, and the people who did not have weapons in their hands were to control the place and send soldiers to guard along the road.

The battle was carried out in an orderly manner, Zhang Meng rushed forward and killed, but all the enemy troops who were blocked were smashed by a hammer, and there were as many as 200 enemy troops killed by Zhang Meng along the way, and the 500 spearmen who came from behind did not waste much strength at all, so to speak, there was no fighting, and the enemy obediently knelt down and surrendered.

Minglan army has a total of 2,000 soldiers, in addition to the five hundred soldiers sent by Cai Wenzhuo to ambush, there are still 1,005 left, Zhu Huan took some away, and was killed by Zhang Meng along the way, and there are less than 1,000 survivors.

Coupled with Zhang Meng's fierce killing in front, all the Minglan troops lost their fighting spirit.

Zhang Meng quickly rushed to the front of the enemy army, but he didn't see a big official, he was immediately angry, killed for a long time, rushed for a long time, and in the end it was too late, looking at the large number of kneeling people and soldiers behind him, he had to turn around, or clean up the battlefield first.

Two miles north of Zhang Meng's position, Zhu Huan hurriedly drove his horse and ran, and at this time, Cai Wenzhuo chased after him: "Master Hou, the enemy did not catch up." ”

Seeing that only Cai Wenzhuo came alone, Zhu Huan was moved, as the so-called family is poor and filial piety, and adversity sees loyal ministers, at this time Cai Wenzhuo can choose to take refuge in Wang Xu, and his talents will definitely be reused, but he did not do so, but chased after him without hesitation.

Restraining the horse, Zhu Huan said, "Mr. Wenzhuo, are you still willing to follow me?" ”

Cai Wenzhuo said: "Wenzhuo swears to follow Hou Ye to the death. ”

Zhu Huan's heart warmed, it was already dawn at this time, and looking into the distance, Zhu Huan said, "Where should we go now?" ”

Cai Wenzhuo thought for a while and said, "Master Hou, there is a city thirty miles to the north, which is the boundary of Beijun, we can discuss with the county commander there to live temporarily, I think they will not refuse." ”

"Okay, that's what Mr. said."

After some discussion, a group of hundreds of people hurried north.

The more Zhang Meng thought about it, the more itchy his heart became, and when he thought that there was an enemy fleeing not far away, he was uneasy, and after some thought, Zhang Meng rode south and chased ten miles, but he found nothing, and finally he had to return the same way.
