At night, the sky was even darker, and only the cries of the gnats remained. Yan Bao turned over slightly, and his body was covered with a burlap quilt with a thin layer of cotton stuffed inside. Yan Bao couldn't help but sigh, if Yanhai had been occupied by His Royal Highness the King of Qin earlier, then cotton should have been planted early, and cotton would not be in short supply now, and he would only get a thin quilt as a commander. However, it has to be said that the quilt is warmer than the simple cloth.

Waiting and waiting, what disappointed Yan Bao was that there was no movement in Surabaya County all night. Yan Bao himself had two dark circles under his eyes, and Yan Bao understood that it was estimated that General Liu Yan thought that this Huainan River fish was too small. Yesterday's soldiers and horses, although they were composed of all cavalry, were only seven or eight hundred. This is already considered a large cavalry in Huainan. After all, Huainan is different from the north. First, there is land mostly for farming, in Huainan, a fertile land, a mu yield of two stones, than Hebei Shangtian is eight buckets higher. There is not such a good income for raising horses.

The second is that it has always been a ship in the south and a horse in the north, even if Yang Xingmi has the heart to develop a large cavalry, it is not so easy, you have to find a horseman to take care of it. How many grooms are there in the South? How good is the groom horse breeding technique? Besides, although many displaced people in the north go south, but that is also to learn the art of raising horses in the north, the climate and environment are different, it is easy for good horses to become bad horses, or even dead horses, and there is no result of systematic research, which requires the accumulation of two or three generations.

Thirdly, there is no horse source in Huainan, and the war horses that Li Cunhuan sold to Yang Xingmi were all castrated. It is said that in the black market, an inferior steppe horse that has not been castrated can be sold for a high price after being castrated. But in the eyes of Liu Yan, who was accustomed to seeing Lu Long's many war horses, it was not worth wasting this opportunity.

Thinking about it, Yan Bao fell asleep, and before he knew it, he was already in the middle of the sky, and the sun was shining down, making people dizzy. Yan Bao, who was sleeping groggyly, pulled the curtain-shaped reeds on the quilt with straw ropes to catch the dazzling sun.

Suddenly, a sound of human voices and neighing sounded, waking Yan Bao up, Yan Bao hurriedly opened his eyes, and in an instant, he didn't know where to throw his pajamas. Just listening to that voice, Yan Bao didn't need to look at it to know that there must be a big fish coming, and it is estimated that he will not wait for a boring night tonight like last night. I couldn't help but feel excited, but the action was not exciting at all, I slowly turned over, gently picked up the straw hat with the reed pole on the side and put it on, and then slowly raised my head. This camouflage method Yan Bao still learned from Lu Long's life general, it is simple and effective. Looking at it from afar, I didn't know that there was a person peeping at all.

But at a glance, Yan Bao's heart almost scared and his throat jumped, and he saw that a person was under the protection of a group of generals and soldiers at this time, passing through the reeds by the side of the road, allowing the war horse to drink water in the leaky water. Although that person Yan Bao had only met once, Yan Bao was sure that it was definitely Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu and the envoy of Huainan Jiedu! But fortunately, the leak is a swamp, although many places are frozen in winter, but many places are very soft, and there are only more than ten war horses to drink, otherwise it is easy for the other party to find out about the ambush here.

Yan Bao secretly shrunk his neck, at this time, the distance between him and Yang Xingmi was about ten zhang, the distance was just thirty meters, in other words, thirty meters. Roughly equivalent to the length of a standard basketball court, how not to make Yan Bao frightened.

Yang Xingmi seemed to sense something, frowned slightly, and his eyes, which were originally slightly cloudy, shot out two sharp cold rays, and swept towards Yan Bao's hiding place. For a moment, Yan Bao only felt a cool breath spreading rapidly from the depths of his heart, the blood in his body seemed to freeze, and his heart stopped beating. A thought suddenly flashed in my heart: I was discovered! Come on! But as soon as Yan Bao's thought came to him, Yan Bao pressed it down. He knew he couldn't run.

Once they started running, the five hundred soldiers who were ambushed here must have instinctively run with their own commanders. In this way, let's not say that Yang Xingmi will not chase after him, the ambush in Surabaya County, Yang Xingmi can't figure it out, I'm afraid he won't have today's power. Yan Bao held his body very calmly.

"King, what's wrong?" Li Shenfu, a famous general who accompanied Yang Xingmi, saw that Yang Xingmi's face was a little abnormal, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts.

"Well, it feels like someone is snooping on our army!" Yang Xingmi observed for a while, but didn't find anything, so he replied indifferently. Xindao: It seems that this time my intuition was wrong again.

The black clouds around Yang Xingmi were all commanded by Ma Bao and said with a smile: "There are many reeds here, but it is a good place to ambush the scout and steal army." It is estimated that Liu Jun sent a scout here, does the king want to send someone to drive him away! ”

Yang Xingmi shook his head and said: "This is not necessary, the terrain here is complicated, and it is very troublesome to send people to search, not to mention that it will take an hour or two, and it will inevitably outweigh the losses for a few scouts." Besides, this king pressed up with a dignified and upright soldier, and lowered ten meetings with one force, are you still afraid that he Liu Cheng will not be able to play any tricks? ”

Li Shenfu touched the short beard on his lips, and suddenly said: "What the king said is reasonable, but it is quite important for the last general to observe this place, our army will definitely pass through this place when we go to Surabaya County, and some soldiers and horses should be stationed to guard it, and it is easy to deal with anything." It doesn't take too much, four or five hundred people in one battalion are enough! ”

When Ma Bao heard this, he frowned and objected: "This place is quite important, but a certain family thinks there is no need to make such a fuss, right?" A battalion of four or five hundred men was wasted here. ”

Ma Bao's words are not a fuss, although Huainan has 110,000 troops this time, this does not mean that there are 110,000 troops that can be used. First of all, in terms of grain and grass, since ancient times, the three armies of Youyun have not moved the grain and grass first, and Cao Ying was able to win more with less in the battle of Guandu by burning Yuan Shao's grain and grass. Fortunately, there were sailors in Huainan, and Yang Guang excavated the Grand Canal during the Sui Dynasty. Grain and grass can take the Grand Canal to Sizhou Xiapi, which Zhu Wen just ceded out, and then go north to Yishui to Linyi City, these distances are all waterways, plus the Huainan army is not weak, although the distance is not close, the number of people occupied is much less than that of the land route, but even so it occupies 10,000 soldiers and horses. Among the 10,000 people, there are auxiliary soldiers and half regular soldiers, and the impact on combat effectiveness is not very great.

However, after arriving in Linyi City, it was necessary to take land to send it to the Yanzhou front along the way, and a 500-hundred A porter can only carry half a stone, that is, sixty catties of grain, after all, this grain has to be picked for a day.

In other words, 800 stone of grain would require 1,600 porters, or 160 wagons drawn by a single horse. These people are naturally composed of auxiliaries and civilian men. The auxiliaries are okay, they have also been trained, and they have a spear in their hands. But if there is a large-scale attack, it will not be a problem, and it will have to be protected by troops. How many people do you think you have to send here?

And how much food has to be transported to the front line every day, during the battle, a soldier is generally a liter and a half of rice (about 1,800 grams) and a portion of miscellaneous vegetables, which adds up to almost two kilograms, don't look at a lot, the ancients basically had no meat to eat, nutrition could not keep up, and they had to eat. Mu Mu's father was only 16 years old when he fought in Vietnam, so he told Mu Mu that he had to eat more than a pound of rice to be full when he was fighting Vietnam. Not to mention that at that time, it was still fighting with cold weapons, and the strength consumed was greater.

As a result, how much food had to be transported to the front line every day, and how many people had to be sent to transport it by land. At least one carriage must be protected by one soldier, and ten porters and one soldier. So at first glance, it seems that 110,000 people are very powerful, but in fact, the use of troops is not as efficient as the use of the defense side.

When Yang Xingmi heard this, he also felt that Li Shenfu was making a fuss, and this move might be a waste of troops. However, Li Shenfu is the number one general under him, and it can be said that Yang Xingmi's rise is completely due to Li Shenfu's outside, the strategist Yuan Xian, and the assistance of the inner and outer exhaustion, so that Yang Xingmi, who was born as a small soldier in the rebel army, can have such great achievements.

Yang Xingmi found a compromise and said, "Well, what Shenfu said is reasonable, but now is the time to use soldiers, so leave a brigade of soldiers to camp here!" ”

The first battalion was divided into two brigades, and although Yang Xingmi's order made Li Shenfu feel inappropriate, the number was too small after all, but he was loyal to Yang Xingmi, and he also knew that he had to take into account Yang Xingmi's feelings, so he nodded slightly, and reluctantly agreed, so he stopped talking.

Li Shenfu has no opinions, and Ma Bao naturally has no opinions.

The three of them didn't know that their conversation made Yan Bao, who was not far away, hear it clearly, and almost scared Yan Bao to death. Yan Bao knew his role, and he didn't want to be hit by Li Shenfu if he didn't know if he was hit by mistake, or if he saw through a little bit of Liu Yan's plan, he placed a part of the soldiers and horses to be stationed in Leaky, which made Yan Bao quite upset.

Yan Bao pondered for a long time, but he didn't come up with any good solution. He asked the soldiers nearby to count the soldiers who stayed behind, and there were two hundred and sixteen people, which was not enough to make up, and they were even more inferior than a battalion of soldiers and horses that were full on their side. But Yan Bao was not sure that he swallowed one mouthful, and he didn't spit out the bones, and he had to make no big noise and be discovered by the nearby Huainan army.

I don't know if the brigade commander is naturally timid as a mouse, or if he is used to being cautious. Seeing that Yan Bao didn't know in his heart, he greeted the relatives of the first generation of the female surname of the brigade commander who didn't know the name. The brigade commander first did not set up a wooden fence, but collected firewood and hay and built a beacon tower about two meters high. made Yan Bao hate it with itchy teeth, but there was nothing to be done. The brigade commander set up the beacon tower, and then began to set up camp, and also set up a bonfire on the side of the beacon tower, afraid that it would be too late to light the beacon fire in case of attack, but he was not afraid that the bonfire was so close, so he lit the beacon tower and made a 'beacon fire show princes'.

Others, King Zhou You, has capital, and the princes can't help him for a while. But if you don't say anything, you will give an order from eighty military sticks, and you will lose half of your life, and it is not an exaggeration to cut you with a thousand knives.

In the face of such a speechless opponent, even if Yan Bao had the superior forces, he had to cry and watch the other party set up camp but was helpless. However, the only good thing was that the few small traps set by the brigade commander were all seen by Yan Bao. A sneak attack can also reduce the loss by a few points.

In Yan Bao's thoughts, the sun slowly sank into the West Mountain, and darkness once again shrouded the world, Yan Bao estimated that Liu Yan would definitely close the net this time.

…………

When Yang Xingmi came to the county seat of Surabaya County, it was only afternoon, but the days were short and the nights were long in winter. There are only two hours left before the night, although there is still some way to go. But there is still time to set up camp, and then there is only one hour left to march. A normal march is only a little more than ten miles in an hour, and when the time comes, it will be a little inconsiderate to the soldiers. Yang Xingmisuo's surname asked the army to rest in the county seat and have a good rest. It is estimated that there will be a siege battle tomorrow, and Qufu is a city with a certain status in both strategy and politics.

Defending Qufu can effectively suppress Yang Xingmi's grain route. Because after entering Surabaya County, he can transport grain and grass from Surabaya, and Qufu is on the edge of Surabaya, if Yang Xingmi does not capture Qufu, he will not want to use ships to transport grain and grass. Even if you attack Yanzhou City, you have to take a long detour. As long as Liu Jun is not an idiot, he will send someone to guard Qufu, which can effectively block Yang Xingmi for a period of time.

What's more, Qufu has a water gate, if you can't hold it, you can take a boat on the water, go down the river from Surabaya, and retreat to Yanzhou City. And Surabaya and Yishui are not connected. Yang Xingmi sent people to take advantage of Zhu Wen's Xuzhou and take the canal. So there was no way to stop the defenders from retreating for a while. For this kind of place that can be attacked and defended, Yang Xingmi does not have much way to do it, so he can only use troops to attack. However, fortunately, it is estimated that the defenders' will to resist is not strong, and they just want to delay themselves for three or four days.

In fact, Yang Xingmi is not without a way, he can find a suitable terrain in the Surabaya River from Qufu to Yanzhou to set up wooden piles, and if possible, he can even set up iron chains to engage in "iron lock across the river".

But don't think that finding some stakes and forging two chains will do the trick. First of all, you have to find a suitable section of the river, this depends on luck, good luck does not take a quarter of an hour to find, bad luck can find a day. Then test the current, cut the wood, and have to drive the floating stakes into the water, which can take as little as five or six days, and as much as ten days and half a month.

Although Yang Xingmi did not say this method at the beginning, some people still proposed this method. Li Shenfu was clearly opposed at that time. Because of this method, how much movement do you have to make? Wouldn't this be known to the defenders of Qufu? Qufu and they knew that the back road was cut off, so they either united as one, or the army was scattered, and the main general led the people to surrender. But the former may have a larger surname. After all, the Huainan Army has nothing worthy of surrender from the other party so far, and you can't compare to Li Cunhuan compared to the forces. Compared with the conditions, those who serve as soldiers can get a piece of land, and they are also exempted from taxes to different degrees according to the different types of troops, troops, and official positions, and the benefits are a few points better than those in Huainan. Wouldn't that be a shot in the foot?

The general who put forward the opinion disagreed, saying: "We can do it a little more secretly, and when they retreat, we can wipe them out, we can reduce the defensive force in Yanzhou City, not to mention the siege battle, it can be much easier." ”

Li Shenfu immediately retorted, "Hidden? It had to be done on the sly, and it would take at least twice as long as normal. Coupled with the siege, it is normal to spend a month in Qufu. For a small Qufu, it took a month, how long do you think Li Cunhuan will give us? ”

Li Shenfu said this, the general was speechless, indeed, they paid attention to the speed of this battle, and paid attention to occupying important cities and passes, so as to control the surface. Before Li Cunhuan returned to the division, at least the soldiers and horses of Yanhai and Pinglu were disabled, and then they confronted Li Cunhuan across the Yellow River, and the follow-up soldiers and horses were calmly wiped out of the remnants of Yanhai and Pinglu. The downside of planning is that it can't be delayed for too long.

Thinking about it, "Smack! The oil lamp made a soft sound, which woke Yang Xingmi up, Yang Xingmi straightened his waist, stretched his hands back, and stretched his waist. Twisting his neck and making a crackling sound.

"Who's on duty outside! What time has it been! Yang Xingmi asked, as he said he touched his stomach, estimating that he had thought about it for an hour, and he probably missed dinner. It stands to reason that it is impossible for Yang Xingmi to be hungry, and someone must deliver food or notify him when he arrives at the return point, but Yang Xingmi has an order, when he is thinking about things, unless there is a hundred thousand urgent, and he has to make a decision, don't wake him up. Therefore, Yang Xingmi's tooth soldiers did not disturb Yang Xingmi.

"It's a certain Ma Bao!" Ma Bao, who was on duty outside, answered, pushed open the door and walked in, holding a bowl of smoke-filled wonton in his hand. The person has just stepped into the threshold, and Yang Xingmi doesn't know if he is hungry or his nose is too smart. Yang Xingmi had already said with a greedy face: "Fragrant! It smells so good! It's a blessing to be your wife! ”

Ma Bao smiled: "The king is like this every time, and a certain family is forced by you, the king." The king must not starve to death at the hands of our tooth soldiers. When this word spreads, I am afraid that a certain family will have to kill itself to atone for their sins! But this time the king is really a coincidence, this wonton temperature is just right, just right to eat! ”

Yang Xingmi picked up the chopsticks, tapped Ma Bao with the chopsticks, and scolded with a smile: "You guy will talk tricks!" By the way, what time is it? ”

"It's just the second watch!" Ma Bao moved a stool to sit down and ordered, and spoke. It's cold outside, and when you have time, you can naturally be lazy in Yang Xingmi's warm nest.

"Hmm!" Yang Xingmi, who was eating wonton, responded a little vaguely, Ma Bao glanced at Yang Xingmi, and felt that he was a little rude, you can't sit here and watch the king eat, right?

Ma Bao stood up a little reluctantly and said, "Wang, a certain family has gone out!" ”

"Hmm!" Yang Xingmi was fighting hard, and ate a piece of meatloaf at noon, and now it has just arrived at the second watch, that is, around nine o'clock in the evening, he has already been so hungry that the Five Organs Temple rebelled, where to take care of Ma Bao, so he responded vaguely.

Ma Bao has long been accustomed to Yang Xingmi's informality, opened the door, and a cold wind blew in his face, so cold that Ma Bao couldn't help but shiver, and missed the warmth in the house very much! Ma Bao had no choice but to scold and vent: "This ghost weather! ”

Suddenly, a red light appeared at the east gate, and it didn't take long for a burst of human voices and horses to neigh, and when I listened to the faint shouts of the fire, Ma Bao couldn't help but change his face and scolded: "I told these rabbit cubs a long time ago, now the weather is dry and dry, be careful at night!" It's all going off. Speaking of this, Ma Bao casually ordered the ten generals to order: "You go and see how the situation is, don't bomb the camp at night!" ”

"What's wrong?" Yang Xingmi, who had just gobbled up the wonton, opened the door when he heard the movement, and couldn't help but shudder, and asked while reaching out to pull the cold-proof brocade robe on his body.

"The east side is on fire! A certain family will send someone to check, and the king will wait in the room with peace of mind! Ma Bao replied.

When Yang Xingmi heard this, he frowned and said: "This thing is a little strange, in this cold day, this king has gathered all the generals before to tell them not to go off, how can they be so careless." Ma Bao, you go and send someone to order, except for the defenders in the east of the city to put out the fire, in other places, generals at all levels restrain their subordinates and not leave the station, and at the same time strengthen the number of patrols. Hopefully it's just an ordinary misfire. ”

When Ma Bao heard this, he nodded, Yang Xingmi is not an ordinary person after all, he just thought it was a simple fire when he saw the fire, but he didn't expect Yang Xingmi to think of Liu Jun, although it may be a big fuss, but this kind of thing is still good for the sake of prudence.

Ma Bao was not at ease, and ordered his subordinates to give orders. But he felt uneasy, so he sent someone to inform Yang Xingmi, and he personally took a hundred soldiers of Heiyundu to the east of the city to investigate. However, as soon as he walked halfway with a hundred soldiers, the fire blackness in the east was not extinguished, and a red light suddenly appeared in the south, and the fire went off again! At this time, even if Ma Bao is stupid, he knows that tonight is definitely not simple, how can it happen twice in a row one night? And less than a quarter of an hour apart, you said that there is no human factor in this, and Ma Bao doesn't believe it.

Ma Bao hurriedly turned the horse's head and said, "Go!" Go back to the county office! ”

However, before Ma Bao returned to the county office, he saw another red light coming from the west. Ma Bao couldn't help but be surprised, looked around, and found that the north gate near Surabaya was not on fire, and there was a red light in other places, especially in the east where the fire first started, and I didn't know where it burned, only to see the firelight burning the east sky like the sunset at sunset.

At this moment, the generals at all levels could no longer restrain the soldiers under their command, and there were voices boiling everywhere, the sound of "crackling" fire burning, and the sound of buildings being burned and collapsed from time to time. The situation is very bad.

What made Ma Bao a little relieved was that he met Yang Xingmi, the king of Wu who had left the county government, on the way, and Yang Xingmi also looked a little embarrassed at this time. There were a little ashes on his cheeks, and he didn't know if he was in too much of a hurry, or he didn't pay attention, which made people look like Yang Xingmi was quite a clown.

"King, go to the west gate, although the west gate is on fire, but the reality is false, and the virtual is real! At the moment, there is nothing to do at the north gate, I'm afraid that there are soldiers in ambush where the enemy is! We go to the west gate, even if we encounter the enemy, we can quickly break away and retreat to Yizhou as quickly as possible! Ma Bao didn't care about Yang Xingmi's face, and rode his horse to Yang Xingmi and said loudly. Now the voice is boiling, and if you don't speak loudly, I'm afraid Yang Xingmi won't be able to hear it.

"Nope! At present, there are 20,000 soldiers and horses here, and if we don't thwart the enemy's tricks, we don't want to capture Pinglu and Yanhai before Li Cunhuan returns, and go to the north gate! Where Li Shenfu is guarded, there will definitely be no problem with the soldiers and horses at the North Gate, and we still have 5,000 yellow-headed troops available! It's not impossible to turn defeat into victory! Yang Xingmi said in a loud voice, and then led the troops to retreat to the north gate.

Ma Bao had no choice but to lead the Black Cloud Capital cavalry to follow. Before the people arrived at the north gate, they heard a shout of killing coming from all directions, as if countless soldiers and horses surrounded Surabaya County and surrounded Surabaya County.

Yang Xingmi's face couldn't help but change greatly, at this moment, he actually had a feeling that the world was so big that he had nowhere to stay. The most important thing is that he has a fear that he can't explain, why he fell for the trick. When he entered Surabaya County, he sent people to search for Surabaya County. On the one hand, they wanted to find the people and understand the situation, and on the other hand, they wanted to prevent the enemy from ambushing soldiers and horses in Surabaya County.

But Yang Xingmi never understood where the enemy was hiding and why he couldn't find it.

In fact, where did Yang Xingmi know that Liu Cheng asked people to put sulfur, saltpeter and other things on the beam, and they couldn't see it if they didn't climb up. If it is a small family, it will be left in the thatch on the roof, and you will not be able to see it without turning the thatch. The soldiers under Yang Xingmi were only searching for people, not for burning items, so naturally they would not search for places such as beams and roofs.

Liu Cheng also asked the soldiers to ambush in eight dry wells in Surabaya County, spread fine sand on top of the round shields, and put a rope hanging down from the wells. looks like no one is used. Although these are very simple, like magic, like a blank paper, but if you don't pierce this blank paper, this mystery is no less than a steel wall, and you can't find the secret behind it.

At the same time, each dry well ambushed two or three dead soldiers, and a large amount of oil. Shoot suddenly, where can you easily find out. As long as the speed is fast enough, you will hide in the dry well, and you don't need a round shield to disguise it, it's pitch black, who knows that there are people hiding inside.

The most important thing is that more than ninety percent of the buildings in the entire Surabaya County are mainly made of wood, which is a natural firestarter, otherwise it would be impossible for Liu Jun to turn a huge Surabaya County into a sea of fire with ten or twenty people. When Yang Xingmi came to the north gate. I saw that Li Shenfu calmly ordered the soldiers to overturn the building and build a fire barrier four or five zhang wide, and at the same time ordered all the defeated soldiers to gather in one place and temporarily reorganize.

Seeing this situation, Yang Xingmi couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Li Shenfu was cautious and calm enough, otherwise he would have fled in embarrassment after he really got the north, let alone pack up the remnants of the army, I am afraid that even taking a breath is a luxury.

Without waiting for Yang Xingmi to find Li Shenfu, Li Shenfu, who had been notified by the soldiers of the arrival of King Wu, had already ridden over. Seeing Li Shenfu, Yang Xingmi said excitedly: "With the blessing of God alone, this king is better than having an army of 100,000!" Today, I survived, thanks to God's blessing and command! ”

When Li Shenfu heard this, he was just about to say a few words of modesty, when suddenly there was chaos among the rout, and the soldiers exclaimed: "Go fire!" Fire! ”

Li Shenfu couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't care about replying, he quickly turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came, only to see that he didn't know when the houses at the north gate were on fire, and the fire was like the Yellow River lacking an embankment, and it was out of control. Immediately after that, a sudden rain of fire flew down, and the fire became even bigger. Many soldiers were shot to the ground, and the situation became even more chaotic.

Li Shenfu suddenly realized something, raised his head, and looked at the north gate city wall, only to see a row of archers standing on the city wall at some time, and the archers had fire plates under their feet, and under the light of the fire, it was obvious that they were putting arrows on the edge of the fire plate above, "Poof! Suddenly, the arrow wrapped around the tarpaulin ignited, and was about to shoot the next round of rockets.

Li Shenfu couldn't help but pat his thigh with regret and said, "I was found by the other party!" ”

Originally, there were soldiers patrolling the city wall, but suddenly there were fires in all directions, and Li Shenfu had to mobilize soldiers to guard the city gate as a back road, and he also had to demolish the houses and clear a fire barrier. There is also the reorganization of the rout troops who fled to the north, suppressing them and not disturbing other soldiers, these require a large number of people, just Li Shenfu's five thousand people, where is it possible to continue to guard the city wall.

I don't want to find a hole for the other party, I don't know how to slip up the city wall, and shoot rockets from the fire plate without everyone noticing. Let yourself capture and kill the dead, hold on to the good situation in the north, and suddenly lose more than half. But now is not the time to regret and ponder how the other party got up to the wall.

Li Shenfu immediately said decisively: "Retreat immediately, now the other party doesn't give us time at all to collect the rout." The last general led his troops and horses to kill the city wall, and he couldn't let the enemy shoot calmly when our army retreated, otherwise the army would have begun to kill each other before it left the city gate! ”

Yang Xingmi was shocked when he heard this, and said, "How can Shenfu do this!" For now, Shenfu should lead the soldiers, not be brave for a while! ”

When Ma Bao, who was on the side, heard this, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, and took over this task of nine deaths, and said: "King, you and General Li will go first, and a certain family will lead troops to kill the queen of the city tower!" ”

When Yang Xingmi heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed on his face. Ma Bao gritted his teeth and persuaded: "King, now is not the time for mother-in-law and mother-in-law!" Come on! ”

When Yang Xingmi heard this, a flash of resoluteness flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Okay! King Ma Bao left you five hundred soldiers of the Black Cloud Capital. Speaking of this, Yang Xingmi reached out and grabbed Ma Bao's arm and said with concern: "Remember! Come back safely! If the army is gone, you can re-recruit, and if the king's Ma Bao is gone, you can't recruit! ”

A flash of excitement flashed in Ma Bao's eyes, and he nodded vigorously and said, "A certain family naturally understands, king, let's go!" Otherwise, if it's too late, you won't be able to get out if you want to leave! ”

Although Yang Xingmi was reluctant in his heart, as a hero, he knew that he could not waste time at this moment, so he gritted his teeth, turned the horse's head, and galloped without looking back. Li Shenfu brought only a hundred cavalry to escort Yang Xingmi's retreat, and ordered the soldiers to suppress the rout who tried to seize the road and escape.

(To be continued)
