Northwest of Shunzhou Prefecture, Changling County, the northernmost part of Shunzhou Prefecture. The most central part of the city is the mansion of Ma Kui, the commander of the Black Snake Army.

In the past, people came and went, and the lively Mafu was as quiet as now. Outside the mansion are sturdy war horses, and the guards who come and go back and forth are cold-faced and constantly patrolling.

Not only Mafu, but now the entire county seat of Changling County is in a strange state. On the whole street, there seemed to be a lot fewer pedestrians, some with a faint smile on their faces, and some with a little sadness on their faces.

Ma Kui is in his forties this year and is slightly fat, but he is not as weak as he looks from the outside. At this moment, his face no longer had the businessman-like smile on his face, and his face was full of gloomy air, which made more than ten people in the room involuntarily lower their heads.

The dozen or so people on both sides are the existing subordinates of the Black Snake Army, seven of whom are the army's thousand-strong generals, and five are those in charge of local governance, finance, taxation and logistics. Ma Kui originally had nearly 10,000 direct subordinates, but unfortunately lost 3,000 people in Zhenbei Fort, and now there are 4,000 cavalry and nearly 3,000 foot soldiers.

"The right army was defeated, and the whole territory of Dingbei County fell! Fuxian was besieged, send people for help! Zhenbei Fort has fallen, and it is said that it was the Huolin Army! In other words, it is now rumored outside that the commander of the Shunzhou Army is Zhao Xun, the commander of the Huolin Army, and nine times out of ten it is true. Now the northern exit is blocked, and Fuxian in the west has been besieged. As for the south side, there is no way out either. In other words, we are now the turtle in the urn. You say, "What shall we do now?" Ma Kui said slowly.

Everyone looked at each other, but did not speak.

"What? Don't have an idea? ”

The middle-aged scribe on Ma Kui's right side spoke: "My subordinates think that Fuxian is only besieged by the Shunzhou army and has not yet been breached. What we need to do most now is to lead the army to support, as long as the danger of Fuxian County is relieved, there will be no longer a threat to our Changling County. As for the towns and villages around Fu County, they will also be recaptured later. ”

"But...... But the Shunzhou Army and the Huolin Army are a whole, and we ...... Can we relieve the danger of Fuxian? Tan Daowen, the thousand-man general of the infantry army, said hesitantly. It's not that he's afraid of death, it's that he's really not sure about the battle between the Black Snake Army and the Fire Lin Army.

As soon as Tan Daowen said this, several other generals also nodded slightly, even Ma Kui was also a little lonely, but it was absolutely impossible to let him succumb at that time. As the lord of an army, the hero of a party, and the freedom of life, how can he submit to others again.

Another scribe beside Ma Kui said: "It's not okay not to support now, as for Fu County, relieving the predicament of Fu County is the only way to save the current situation of the Black Snake Army." I know that everyone is afraid of the Fire Lin Army, and speaking of which, this is not a shame thing, the Fire Lin Army is very strong, and it is well known. However, we are rescuing our own troops, and it is the Shunzhou army that is attacking. The Huolin army attacked the Yan army, and no one in the world could blame it, but it was too much to attack the rebel army of another government privately. Don't forget, Zhao Xun, the commander of his Huolin Army, is also the leader of a local private army, just like us, and has no right to cross the mansion to attack his own army. Besides, the people who are fighting with us now are all the Shunzhou army, even if they are part of the Huolin army, but they are still the Shunzhou army, not the Huolin army on the Yanzhou Mansion, and they are not as strong as the Huolin army! ”

When Ma Kui and the others heard this, they were stunned, right. The Huolin Army now occupies a part of Yanzhou Mansion, Yingzhou Mansion and Weizhou Mansion, which is already jealous and dissatisfied, but it was taken from the hands of the Yan Army, and others are not good to say. But now if the Huolin Army wantonly attacks the righteous army, it will be criticized by the imperial court and others, and some prominent families who are persecuted by the Huolin Army's new policy will also agitate, so that the imperial court will take action against Zhao Xun, and there will be no bad influence at that time.

"Yes, my lord, we have lost territory one after another, lost troops and lost generals, and we don't even know what's going on, this must be the Shunzhou army knowing that the front is not our army's opponent, so they secretly raided, taking advantage of our army's carelessness, this is the success."

"That's it! There is no need to discuss it, this time the commander personally rescued Fuxian, and all the cavalry set off with me, and the infantry army was stationed here. Li Ze, Changling County here is our old nest, there must be no accidents here, this place will be handed over to you, Tan Daowen, you wait for the infantry army, cooperate with Mr. Li to defend the city, and there must be no accidents. ”

"Obey!" The generals said in unison.

Subsequently, outside Changling County, Ma Kui personally commanded 4,000 cavalry to kill Fu County and rescue Fu County. Fu County is the gateway of Changling County and the guardian wall of Changling County, which must not be lost. In addition, Ma Kui can't sit back and watch Fuxian County be taken away by the Shunzhou army, otherwise, the Black Snake Army will really be finished, let alone resist the Shunzhou army at that time, even the people in the city will also sacrifice the city under the instigation of some people. Besides, most of his subordinates are cavalry, and cavalry defending the city is not a strong point.

Between Changling County and Fu County, the terrain is bumpy, the road is rugged, and the march of the four thousand army is gradually pulled into a long snake, if you look at it from above, it is like a giant python cruising on the ground.

"Lord Commander, the Black Snake Army has entered the canyon!" On the top of the steep mountain, a junior colonel rushed to Zhao Xun, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice.

Zhao Xun nodded, did not speak, stood quietly on the mountain peak, watching from a distance as the long dragon-like team rushed mightily, but there seemed to be a flame burning in his chest.

"I'll leave it to you here, I'll go down and have a look!" Zhao Xun said to Luo Yi beside him.

"Don't worry, sir! The subordinates must solve them. Luo Yi said in a steady voice.

"Xiaoyu, you stay here with Miss Qian and Miss Su."

Ruyu also knew that she shouldn't mess with Zhao Xun at this time, so she nodded lightly in response, and Qian Bing also shrugged her shoulders and responded. But Su Ziyan shook the long sword in his hand and followed Zhao Xun down the mountain.

Luo Yi's knife-like face revealed an indescribable hideousness, looking at the approaching army of the Black Snake Army, the palm holding the carved bow tightened slightly, and at his feet, dozens of feather arrows were inserted upside down, and he asked without looking back: "Are all the battalions ready?" And the Tartar cavalry under the mountain, are they ready? ”

A herald stood behind Luo Yi, nodded when he heard this, and said, "Captain Luo, rest assured, all battalions are ready, as long as we burn wolf smoke here, we will never let Namakui's cavalry escape!" ”

As he spoke, Ma Kui's vanguard was about to reach their feet, Luo Yi did not order an attack, this canyon is not too long, but there is no suitable ambush location around, there is a better one than this, but it is too conspicuous and easy to be discovered by the other party's scouts. The purpose of this ambush is to completely cripple the cavalry units of the Black Snake Army, as long as these cavalry troops are defeated, the Black Snake Army is basically finished.

"Lord Captain, at that time, Ma Kui! Ma Kui actually led the army himself! The officer beside Luo Yi pointed to the general who was riding a horse below and said.

"Are you sure he's Ma Kui?" Luo Yi was also taken aback, he didn't expect that Ma Kui would personally lead the army.

"It can't be wrong, my lord, I swear that it's Ma Kui!"

"Okay, today, we will leave him, and the end of the Black Snake Army should also come." Luo Yi said with a sneer.

Ma Kui, who entered this valley, was not without worry, and in the previous few sections of the road, Ma Kui sent scout detectives to those steep places many times, but he did not find anything unusual. In the end, not only Ma Kui, but also the scouts were a little impatient, there were mountains around here, and anyone who was tossing back and forth in the slightly hot weather of June couldn't stand it. After learning that this valley was not long, he casually sent scout detectives to get nothing out of the ordinary, and after getting nothing unusual from the mouth of the lazy scouts, the army drove directly in.

After a while, Ma Kui's Chinese army appeared in sight, and under the drumming green handsomeness, the slightly chubby Ma Kui rode on a white horse, holding a big knife, with a fierce murderous aura on his face, and more than a dozen generals around him were tightly protected.

A scorching light flashed in Luo Yi's eyes, and he twisted a feather arrow in his left hand and put it on the bowstring, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare for the arrow formation, play the flag!" Wolf smoke! ”

Ma Kui rode on a horse, watching Fu County get closer and closer, and the evil fire in his heart continued to rise, first the left army was defeated, then the right army was defeated, and then Fu County was trapped. Since the formation of the Black Snake Army, Ma Kui, who has been smooth sailing, has almost gone crazy. Even he felt that he was jealous, why things had not gone well recently, and he had been defeated repeatedly.

As for the defeat of the left and right armies, so far Ma Kui has not figured out what is going on? Why did the Shunzhou Army suddenly appear outside Fu County, and Dingbei County was quietly occupied by the Shunzhou Army? Seriously, Ma Kui was a little jealous and envious of Zhao Xun, the same private army made a fortune, Zhao Xun was not as good as himself when he started, and his age was younger than himself, but as a result, the other party defeated the Jing Army, won many battles, and became famous, unrivaled, and even famous in the world. Ma Kui is really unwilling, why is he inferior to the other party? He is ready, when he arrives in Fuxian, he must give the Shunzhou army a color to see, so that they know that he knows how powerful he is.

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden pain in his eyebrows, and a cold chill rose from the bottom of his heart, this is a kind of qi induction generated by him who has been a horse thief for more than ten years and has lived between life and death for a long time.

"Enemy attack!" Ma Kui was startled, hissed and roared, and at the same time grabbed the back armor of a soldier beside him, and lifted it violently, not to mention the military generals who were nearly two hundred pounds, and he was raised in front of him with one hand. It can be seen that judging from his appearance, it is obviously wrong.

"Puff ......" There was a muffled sound, Ma Kui only felt a shock in his arm, accompanied by the screams of the soldiers, and the sharp arrow clusters that had been sharp rushed out from the back of the soldiers, and the remaining momentum was not stopped, revealing the cold arrow clusters, the cold arrow clusters were less than half a foot away from his face, and Ma Kui's heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Shoot the arrows!" Without waiting for Ma Kui to react, a loud voice suddenly came from the top of his head, and through the corpse of the soldier, Ma Kui looked at the top of his head, and at first glance, he only felt that his scalp was numb.

In this valley less than fifty meters wide, I don't know how many arrows gathered in the air, covering the sky and the sun, and then, the body of the soldier in his hand trembled, and for a moment, I don't know how many arrows were nailed to his body.

A continuous scream sounded from behind him, and the unsuspecting cavalry of the Black Snake Army wailed to the end under the baptism of arrows, accompanied by the roar of war horses. Some were shot through the head and died on the spot, some were shot through the chest and were dying and could not live when they saw it, and others were shot through the limbs and thighs and rolled on the ground.

Ma Kui can be a horse bandit, a county, with the war to grow stronger, and finally reached the current point, one after another defeated the Shunzhou army, the Shunzhou army was almost wiped out, there is indeed his extraordinary. Seeing that the rain of arrows stopped, Ma Kui threw away the corpse of the soldier in his hand, held the knife in his left hand, and roared sharply: "Rush over, rush out of the canyon!" ”

On the top of the mountain, looking at Ma Kui, who was roaring and reorganizing the troops, Luo Yi Lengjun's face showed a disdainful smile, and he ordered to continue to release arrows, while he bent his bow and arrows again, and locked the target on the other party.

"Sigh Sigh ......" arrows rained down, people wailed and horses wailed, accompanied by the sound of arrows entering human flesh, and suddenly sounded a strange music. Of course, come to think of it, these Black Snake soldiers are very reluctant to hear this kind of music, because this is the symphony of death, the reminder of death. As for the four thousand Shunzhou troops on the cliffs on both sides, at this moment, they are eager to be the archers, and shoot all these bastards of the Black Snake Army to death with one arrow and one life.

"Here we go again!" Ma Kui, who was gathering the falling tribes, sensed Lisheng, and didn't care about continuing to gather the troops, so he turned his horse around him and rushed towards the outside of the canyon with hundreds of soldiers around him.

"Whew......"

The piercing sound of breaking the air, the sharp arrows of the wolf's teeth and arrows tore through the air, on Ma Kui's back, the hair was upside down, and he didn't care about the horse, and the big knife in his left hand frantically knocked the horse's buttocks, and the war horse neighed in pain, and the speed increased sharply.

"Whew......"

The wolf's tooth arrow went straight into the body of one of the soldiers behind him, pierced directly, and then penetrated the body of another person, killing one of them with him. Seeing the power of Luo Yi's arrow, Ma Kui couldn't help but speed up and rushed towards the outside of the valley.

When Luo Yi took a wolf's tooth arrow again, Ma Kui had already rushed out of the canyon, and with a bad curse, Luo Yi targeted the other officers.
