After Zhang Shicheng comforted Ye Wenju with kind words for a while, his face suddenly changed, and he asked Yan Zaixing where the army was at this time and where it was about to go. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yan Zaixing hurriedly told Zhang Shicheng that the army was near Tiefo Town, which was under the jurisdiction of Xuyi County, and it was only less than a mile away from Tiefo Town.

Tiefo Town is one of the seven towns that Zhang Shicheng previously attacked, and it is being defended by a thousand soldiers under the command of Zhao Dahu, a general.

After Zhang Shicheng pondered for a while, he asked Yan Zaixing about the mastermind Ye Dexin and the casualties last night, and Yan Zaixing did not hide it at all, and answered them one by one.

When Zhang Shicheng heard that the mastermind Ye Dexin was missing, his life and death were uncertain, and his 24,000 army was even more than 13,000 people left under the two waves of ambushes last night, his face couldn't help twitching, and finally he sighed sadly: "Weizhang has never lost this king, it is this king who has lost Weizhang, and Jiang Zuoerlang, who has more than 10,000 people, all lost their lives in vain because of the pride of this king!" ”

"Victory or defeat is a common thing for soldiers, King Cheng doesn't need to care too much, the current weight, or quickly do a good job of layout, our army still has seven towns in Xuyi, ten Lingbao, as long as you stick to the ground, and at the same time send a fast horse back to Gaoyou, General Shide led a large army to help, as long as the reinforcements arrive, last night's blood feud, you can repay tenfold!"

Yan Zaixing clenched his fists, and at the end of his words, he almost gritted his teeth and burst out of his mouth, and his voice was full of strong murderous aura.

Zhang Shicheng also looked condensed, and his thoughts were spinning in his mind, he still had an army of 20,000 in Gaoyou, led by his most powerful brother Zhang Shide, who was responsible for guarding the old nest, and the opponent Deng Yu had a force of at most 20,000, and in the case of needing to divide troops to defend Dingyuan, Sizhou, and Xuyi, Xuyi arranged at most 15,000 men and horses.

In last night's battle, although the Zhou army lost more than 10,000 soldiers, he Zhang Shicheng still had nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Xuyi, which was enough to confront Xuyi's broken army.

"Good! According to Guoping's strategy, first hold Xuyi's 'Seven Cities and Ten Forts', wait for Shidetong to lead reinforcements to arrive, and then fight with Deng Yu!! ”

Zhang Shicheng made a decision, his ambition rose again, and a group of Zhou soldiers were excited, and they gave orders in unison, and then, Zhang Shicheng saw that the soldiers were tired, so he ordered the army to rush to Tiefo Town to rest and then make a layout.

At the same time, five miles south of the Gudao ambush site, a small group of dozens of people was rushing through a forest in the direction of Dantu County.

In the team, Zhang Heng, the captain of the pro-soldiers, wanted to speak several times, but in the end, he couldn't resist the apprehension in his heart, and asked Ye Dexin: "Master Ye, where are we going?" ”

Ye Dexin's face was deep, he glanced at Zhang Heng, and then replied lightly: "Let's go back to Dantu!" ”

"What? In this way, we will not become deserters! ”

Hearing Ye Dexin's answer, Zhang Heng suddenly exclaimed, and the dozens of soldiers behind him were all shocked, and they couldn't help but stop.

Seeing this, Ye Dexin also stopped his pace, turned around, sighed and said, "Hey, if we don't run away now, then we can only accompany King Cheng to die together!" ”

Ye Dexin's words were like another bombshell, which made these dozens of people tremble, and Zhang Heng was shocked when he heard it, but he knew that Ye Dexin was resourceful and profound, and he would definitely not talk nonsense, and Ye Dexin was in a high position in Dazhou, if even he wanted to escape from Zhang Shicheng, then Zhang Shicheng was really likely to be defeated.

"Master Ye Junshi, King Cheng is really going to be defeated?"

"The war is ever-changing, I don't dare to make a categorical judgment, but, judging from the current situation of breaking the military cloth, it is difficult for King Cheng to escape this catastrophe, if King Cheng had adopted my advice before, maybe the situation would not have collapsed so much!"

Speaking of this, Ye Dexin sighed and said: "You and I are both fellow villagers, and we have your relatives in Dantu, whether you go back with me, or go to join King Cheng, you decide for yourself, I will never force you!" ”

Although Ye Dexin was saying this, his tone seemed to have a temptation, and after Zhang Heng and the dozens of soldiers made eye contact for a while, Qi Qi decided to follow Ye Dexin back to Dantu together.

And Ye Dexin seemed to have guessed that they would return to Dantu with him, nodded indifferently, and planned to continue on his way.

"Dada! Dada! Dada! ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind them, Ye Dexin's face changed greatly, and he was about to find a cover to hide, when he heard a vicious shout.

"Stop! Who are you? ”

Zhang Heng and dozens of Zhou soldiers subconsciously wanted to pull out the weapons on their waists, but at the moment when their hands were about to reach the hilt of their swords, countless arrows flew suddenly and stuck around them, making them tremble for a while.

????“ Don't let go of the arrows! We are deserters from the Zhou army, Zhang Shicheng has done a lot of evil, we don't want to sell his life anymore, we just want to go home, and please show mercy to your military masters and let us live! ”

The light in Ye Dexin's eyes flowed quickly, and then he pretended to be frightened and begged for mercy from an officer of the Broken Army who was galloping on his horse.

This officer of the Broken Army is named Wang Chengze, and he has been following Deng Yu since he became the leader of the Xuyi Righteous Army, and his current military position is Du Lieutenant.

Wang Chengze's eyes narrowed slightly, he saw that Ye Dexin was polite, but he was so timid, and a trace of disdain rose in his heart.

"Hmph, since it is Zhang Shicheng's soldiers, then you don't need to be polite, brothers, release the arrows!"

"Wait, I heard that Deng Dashuai is kind-hearted and never kills innocents indiscriminately, but I didn't expect his subordinates to be so murderous, we are already deserters, and there is no threat to you, why do you want to kill us, we don't accept it!"

"Not convinced? Do you know how many of our brothers died at the hands of you lackeys of the Zhou army, and if you are released, how will I explain to the brothers under Jiuquan! ”

"We are just pawns, we will die if we don't obey the general's orders, we all joined the army for a full meal, for some meager food to feed our families, we kill people, just for our families, in order to survive, you have brothers who died at the hands of the Zhou army, and we have many brothers who died at the hands of your broken army, you want to kill people for this reason, I still don't accept it!"

Ye Dexin pretended to be trembling and angry, looking directly at Wang Chengze, Wang Chengze frowned, and the cavalry of the Broken Army next to him were also a little unbearable, feeling that what Ye Dexin said was reasonable, so he opened his mouth to plead with Wang Chengze and persuaded Wang Zecheng to let them go.

Wang Chengze squinted, he felt that the person in front of him was not as simple as it seemed, just because this person spoke with the Tao and his words were sharp, it seemed that this person was extremely good.

Ye Dexin saw that Wang Zecheng was deep in thought, and immediately his face froze, and secretly said that something bad was wrong, but he didn't expect this officer of the Broken Army to be so thoughtful.
