"Tomorrow is a new day, and the battle situation may be even more difficult!" Meng Ge thought quietly, although the strategy after the northern crossing was formulated, it may not be so easy to implement it smoothly.

The enemy is not a fool, no matter how it changes, it must be right to beat Meng Ge out of Jizhou, as long as Meng Ge does not make trouble in Jizhou, presumably the Yuan brothers will not do anything, but once they cross the Yellow River, they will face the direct threat of Meng Ge, and it is strange not to fight back.

The minutes passed, and after a short time Mongo fell asleep, perhaps because of the sweep, the enemy did not attack, and the night passed exceptionally peacefully, and Mongo had a good night's sleep, and when he opened his eyes, it was the next morning, but the hour was not early.

Looking at the sunlight shining in through the window, Mongo rubbed his temples and said secretly, "Presumably they should be here!" ”

Mungo moved his body, immediately jumped down from the bed, put on his armor in three or two, and immediately walked towards the outside of the big tent, at this time the camp was already noisy, and the morning exercise had already begun, and not far from the camp, a group of soldiers ran quickly.

Xiahou Lan, who was yawning, ran over, looking a little tired, this is also something that can't be helped, who let him have to be on duty, it's natural to sleep late, it's not that Meng Ge is unreasonable, it's just that someone has to do the things of this guard, as the commander of the pro-military battalion, Xia Houlan has no shirk.

Meng Ge glanced at the camp and said while washing his face: "Morning, Xiahou, was there anything wrong with last night?" ”

"Ahh Xia Houlan stretched her waist and said with a lack of sleep: "There is no situation, last night was very peaceful, nothing happened!" ”

As expected, Meng Ge wiped his face, and said in his heart that nothing happened, otherwise today would be troublesome, and the next thing is the time to deploy it, if the enemy reacts at this time, it will not be easy to do, it seems that yesterday's sweep is somewhat useful!

Meng Ge shook his head and sobered up for a moment before saying, "That's good, you hurry up and wash up, there will be tasks later, time waits for no one!" ”

"Yes!" Xia Houlan's face was straight, his appearance at the moment is not a good phenomenon, if he looks like this when he is on a mission, I am afraid that he will not come back with his life, and the battlefield does not matter whether you wake up or not, the enemy's knife is not soft.

Not to mention that Xiahou Lan hurriedly prepared to go, Meng Ge had just finished washing his face, and someone brought food after a while, and the room was prepared very early, just when Meng Ge was eating, a figure hurriedly ran over.

Knowing that the person who came was Yang Dingfang, the personal soldiers outside the tent did not stop him, Yang Dingfang quickly ran over, saluted and said: "General, no, the enemy army has appeared sixty miles away!" ”

"Oh, here it is!" Meng Ge raised his eyebrows, and the steamed bun in his hand couldn't help but put down.

Yang Dingfang settled down and asked calmly: "Yes, they came quickly, it is estimated that it is less than fifty miles now, what should we do now?" ”

The enemy's speed is not slow at all, this is just out of the sun, the enemy is already almost there, the speed is really good, according to Dian Wei's reconnaissance, the nearest enemy camp is Makino, nearly a hundred and ten miles away from here, and Liyang is a little farther away, about one hundred and twenty miles.

Is it a hundred miles coming, Meng Ge estimated in his heart, this enemy army is coming, it will take more than a hundred miles, even if they arrive, I am afraid they will not have much combat power, after all, marching is not an easy job.

Thinking through the joints everywhere, Meng Ge said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, they can't come yet, just strengthen the investigation a little!" ”

Yang Dingfang nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, the last general will go down to prepare and strengthen the investigation in the direction of Muye and Liyang, so as to ensure that if there is any trouble, we can know it as soon as possible." ”

"Yes! Go ahead! Meng Ge waved his hand and motioned for Yang Dingfang to go down, but he ate the steamed bun comfortably, with a little side dish, but he ate it with relish.

In a blink of an eye, Xiahou Lan ran over again, this guy's face was much better, and his spirit was quite passable, Meng Ge immediately beckoned: "You kid hurry up, we have something to do!" ”

Xiahou Lan, who had just finished washing, secretly said bitterly, but said with a bitter face: "General, what's the big deal, I didn't come back until midnight last night, and I still have to go on a mission today?" ”

Meng Ge finished nibbling on the steamed bun in two bites, and said with a smile: "Of course, our task is not to let the enemy have a good time, since they are here, no matter what, they have to be polite, hurry up and prepare, don't grind!" ”

After saying that, Meng Ge also patted Xiahoulan, Xiahoulan, who was tired enough to choke last night, was helpless for a while, picked up a steamed bun casually, and took a bite of it, this meal can only be eaten while walking, it is really not good, just gnaw some dried meat.

The enemy's attack was very fast, running a hundred miles a day, according to Mongo's estimate, they should set up camp, and at the same time set up a joint camp in Liyang and Makino, as a barrier, but the confrontation between the two armies began, of course, Mongo could not make the enemy comfortable, so he planned to take a look.

The two of them quickly came to the cavalry camp, yesterday's continuous combat mission, the cavalry battalion was the most tired, and Mongo was not sure whether the cavalry battalion could attack today, if it really could not act, then this idea could only be abandoned.

At this moment, Zhang Liao was on patrol, and happened to see Meng Ge enter the camp, Zhang Liao on the school stage looked stunned, hurriedly ran to Meng Ge, and arched his hand: "General, you are here, is there anything wrong?" ”

Mongo put his hands behind his back, glanced at it and said slowly, "Yes! How are the brethren, will you be able to fight today? ”

Zhang Liao frowned suddenly, and said in a low voice: "The soldiers are nothing, just a little tired, and it is not a big problem to go out again today, but the horses are probably not good, and they have to rest for a day, after all, they ran a lot of roads yesterday, and crossed the river again, Meng Qi's side is even more difficult, and it is expected that he can fully recover tomorrow!" ”

Sure enough, Meng Ge muttered for a while, and when he came, he thought that yesterday's task was too heavy, even if the best war horse experienced high-intensity combat, it had to recuperate for a day or a half, so that it could recover its best combat effectiveness, which was also a helpless thing.

After pondering for a while, Meng Ge touched his temple and said, "Then is there a way to send some troops, it doesn't need too much, just send four or five hundred horsemen!" ”

Zhang Liao looked puzzled: "General Mingjian, soldiers can be sent, or the problem of war horses, if the last general is not bad, today the enemy should be camped forty to fifty miles away, that is to say, today's combat diameter is at least 100 miles, after yesterday's battle, it is bound to be difficult to exert combat power today, and the war horse has to run away, unless the horse is changed, otherwise it will not be able to carry out the operation." ”

"Change horses! Good idea! Meng Ge immediately turned his head and said to Xiahou Lan: "Xiahou, immediately go to the logistics office to see if there are any other war horses, if there are any, come and report immediately!" ”

"No need!" Zhang Liao smiled and stopped Xia Houlan, looking like he was in the chest.

Meng Ge was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and then smiled evilly: "Wen Yuan is not honest, you should have known it a long time ago, and you didn't say it earlier!" ”

Zhang Liao touched his nose and explained unhurriedly: "General, we are not you, but the last general has paid attention to the war horse, after all, sometimes the war horse is old, no, it has to be changed, the war horse is a comrade-in-arms who fights together, without a good war horse, the combat ability is bound to weaken, and the last general has to pay attention!" ”

"Okay! Yes! Just change it for you! Meng Ge shook his head speechlessly, he really convinced Zhang Liao, but after thinking about it, he was always thinking about improving his combat power, which was also a good thing.

Zhang Liao hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you general, let's take care of it!" ”

"You, you!" Meng Ge pointed at Zhang Liao and said with a rhetorical smile: "When Meng Qi knows, maybe he will score some of him, you can just do it, but I want to ask, how do you know that there is a war horse!" ”

Zhang Liao rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "The new good horse sent by Manager Li, I heard about it yesterday, there are a total of eight hundred horses, enough to change a stubble!" ”

"Li Gan!" Meng Ge was a little surprised, he was busy for a day yesterday, Meng Ge really didn't know about this, he didn't expect Li Gan's business to do well, and the ranch had already opened, which means that the supply of war horses in the future is finally not to worry about, which is good news.

Just when he was stunned, Zhang Liao asked again: "General, when will we leave?" ”

Meng Ge did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Hurry up, you prepare the manpower, let the brothers bring food, fruit and the like, let's go to the enemy camp for a walk!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Liao hurriedly took the order and left, this has the benefit to take, he is naturally happy, this task seems to him to be very easy, just to go shopping, it should not be a big problem.

What's more, judging from the general situation, the enemy should not attack, can't he run away if he can't fight, those new war horses, Zhang Liao has heard of them, not only has good endurance, but also has a very fast speed, as long as there are no problems, it is not a big problem to go around.

The matter of ordering the soldiers went very smoothly, the eight hundred soldiers were quickly ordered, and the new war horses also arrived, just waiting for Meng Ge's order, Meng Ge did not let them wait too long, and half an hour later, Meng Ge appeared in the school field with a phantom cloud halberd in his hand, and a calm face.

Zhang Liao said solemnly: "General, it's ready!" ”

Mongo nodded and said lightly, "Well, let's go!" ”

Meng Ge was about to get on the horse, but Zhang Liao shook his head and stopped Meng Ge and said: "No, general, you should stay here, there are only eight hundred war horses, and there is no general your mount!" ”

Meng Ge immediately looked angry and said loudly: "Is there a mistake! ”

Zhang Liao did not back down at all, and said resolutely: "General, you can understand our difficulties, let you go out to fight, I am always worried, this time there are only eight hundred cavalry, although the danger is not big, but it is inevitable that there will be an eventuality, so this time you will go by yourself, general, you can stay in peace!" ”

As soon as he saw this, Meng Ge knew that it would not work, and in desperation, Meng Ge scolded with a smile: "You can do it, Wen Yuan, you remember it for me, you must come back safely, understand!" ”

"Yes! Be sure to complete the mission! Zhang Liao saluted solemnly, turned around and jumped on horseback.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Liao raised his spear and shouted angrily: "Sons, follow me to attack!" ”

"No!" An earth-shattering roar, as if a person shouted out, as if he had the ability to pierce the clouds and crack the silk, at this moment the eight hundred cavalry were one.

Zhang Liao set off alone, and Meng Ge, who was ready, was left behind, as the commander of the first army, he must not easily get into danger until the last resort, Zhang Liao understood this very well, so no matter what, Zhang Liao would not let Meng Ge go with him.

They will face tens of thousands of enemies, if they are not absolutely sure, Meng Ge should not be easily involved, it is based on this that Zhang Liao did not let Meng Ge go with him, and Meng Ge could not help it.

This operation is limited to harassment, but the road is a little long, which shows that the enemy is very cautious, in this case, the enemy's protection of the surroundings is not bad, and this time must not be messed around.

On the wide road, Zhang Liao led his troops to attack the enemy, and at the same time constantly sent out scouts, not daring to be careless, because if he was not careful, he was likely to fall into the trap, and Zhang Liao did not want to capsize in the gutter.

Zhang Liao marched step by step, and finally arrived forty miles away an hour later, at this time Tanma hurriedly came to report: "General, there is an enemy army ten miles away!" ”

Zhang Liao was not in a hurry, and said calmly: "How many enemy troops are there!" ”

Tanma didn't dare to be careless, and immediately arched his hand: "Conservative estimates, the total number is more than five thousand!" ”

"Five thousand, you really look up to me!" Zhang Liao smiled, Zhang Liao was flattered by the enemy's labor, and it was the first time he had encountered such a big battle.

Eight hundred against five thousand, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning, of course, it means hard fighting, if it is a real head-on confrontation, the enemy is also an elite army, it is not easy to win.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Liao immediately ordered: "They are here, let's go, the herald begins to leave!" ”

"Yes!" The herald immediately gave the order, and the army immediately began to turn back, and the small cavalry was extremely powerful, so that the advantage was evident at this moment.

In just an instant, Zhang Liao turned his troops, and the cavalry galloping in the distance was rapidly approaching, and in the blink of an eye, he could already see the enemy.

"Rush, Wuhuan warriors, kill with me!" He personally led the cavalry and rushed towards Zhang Liao, the distance of ten miles was not too far, but at this moment it seemed unreachable.

In the face of the enemy's pursuit, Zhang Liao was not in a hurry, calmly retreated, if this situation is still hard fighting, unless you have absolute confidence in your own combat strength, but this quantitative advantage is irreparable, the purpose of this trip is to achieve it, you can't fight hard.

Seeing that the enemy had no intention of responding to the battle, he looked angry and shouted: "Coward, stop me!" ”

"There's a kind of dignified fight!" There was constant scolding from behind, but unfortunately Zhang Liao turned a deaf ear, or didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Chase, chase, the deeper you go, the greater the danger!" Zhang Liao's face was full of smiles, the two armies were always three or five miles apart, and the enemy was helpless at such a safe distance.

A chase with thunder and rain, the Wuhuan people never caught up, and at the same time, they were afraid of the enemy's ambush, so they had to withdraw first, but Zhang Liao didn't want to leave.
