Wang Xuan's expression slowed slightly, nodded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something, stopped, turned his head to look at Wang Huaqiang, and said, "Wait a minute, Huaqiang, didn't you hurt Brother Liu and Ma Laosan by arranging it like this?" Throwing them here doesn't send them to death? ”

A trace of coldness flashed on Wang Huaqiang's face, he knew that if he didn't make his words clear, Wang Xu, a nerd, would probably die and not leave.

So Wang Huaqiang sighed and said hurriedly: "I can't care so much now, Ma Laosan has been dealing with the government for so many years, once he realizes the arrival of the southerners' brigade of soldiers and horses, he will definitely protect himself, we have seen the terrain near here, there is a small hill in front of the left, our people have passed, and Ma Laosan will definitely pass."

As for Liu Changshan's croppers, just a few arrows frightened them into scattering and fleeing, and it is impossible to leave their lives here for people to kill, Ci is not a general, now is a very moment, we can't take care of everyone's safety, we must make a trade-off! ”

Wang Xuan gritted his teeth, and his feet seemed to have taken root on the ground: "No, these people are here to defect to my Wang Xuan, Hua Qiang, although you have a point, I can't leave them alone." Now I give you full command of the command, you will arrange the war, and I will accompany you here. ”

Wang Huaqiang was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Jing Yan, don't you understand now that the most terrible thing is that Yang Xiang and Pei Yun are against the water?"

If we stay here stupidly, in case we really fall into the ambush of Chen's army, not to mention that we people, even General Wang's troops may be wiped out, so we must go to the high ground now, see the situation clearly, and then say, if something goes wrong here, then we will have to fight to extinguish the fire. ”

Wang Xuan came to his senses and nodded: "Hua Qiang, what you said makes sense, let's go quickly." ”

The group hurriedly ran towards the small high ground in front of the left, although the uncles and uncles behind were all old, but at this moment they formed a battle formation, covering each other Wang Xuan and the others. Mai Tie Staff took an iron crescent cane more than one person high, and took the lead in opening the way.

The iron guy weighing dozens of pounds is like a light weight in his hands, this is the first time Wang Huaqiang has seen him use weapons, and his heart can't help but move, secretly saying that this guy not only has good legs, but the strength in his hands seems to be above his two brothers.

After a small half-pillar of incense, the group walked to the high ground in front of the left, only to see more than 600 strong men in Guanzhong who were all in darkness, lying here, hundreds of pairs of blazing eyes, staring motionlessly at the foggy riverbank, and in front of these people were more than 100 archers, who had already been wound up at this time, and once there was any wind and grass, they would immediately launch a fierce rain of arrows.

Walking here, Wang Huaqiang breathed a sigh of relief, although the riverside was still foggy, but from the uninterrupted footsteps in the distance, Wang Huaqiang knew that Liu Changshan was still using branches to pile firewood.

There was a sound of footsteps from below, as if one or two hundred people were rushing towards it.

Everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats again, Wang Huaqiang lay on the ground, and suddenly laughed, the footsteps of these people are not heavy, they are not wearing armor, they will definitely not be the regular army of the Chen Dynasty, he waved his hand around, and said: "It's okay, it's Ma Laosan and them." ”

Sure enough, Ma Laosan's tall and thin figure was the first to come out of the fog of the night, and as soon as he saw Wang Huaqiang and Wang Xuan, he said: "What this little brother said is really good, it is thirty or forty Chen Jun's Jiangfang patrols, all of them were killed by us, and one was captured alive, but it is a pity that the leading governor ran away!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the people in black behind him pushed a little soldier who was tied up with five flowers and covered in blood, and Ma Laosan kicked him hard in the ass, and the little soldier immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "A good man spares his life, a good man spares his life!"

Wang Huaqiang picked up the little soldier from the ground, even if there was no torch, he could see his face clearly face to face, this was a young man of about twenty, with a frightened face, stared at by Wang Huaqiang like this, he didn't even dare to roll his eyes.

Wang Huaqiang's words sprayed on Xiao Bing's face with heavy white gas: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, if I answer a wrong word, I will be beheaded immediately, and if I am half a minute late in replying, I will immediately chop off a finger, do you hear clearly?" ”

The little soldier nodded hurriedly.

As soon as Wang Huaqiang's hand was released, the little soldier knelt on the ground again, and he also squatted down in front of the little soldier: "What is your name and what position do you hold?" ”

The little soldier's voice was trembling: "The little name is Song Erxi, and he is on an errand in the patrol battalion." Today I followed Governor Li out to patrol the riverbank. ”

Wang Huaqiang continued to ask: "You patrol the riverbank, why don't you light torches today?" ”

Song Erxi said: "Originally, I made a torch, but Team Li saw a large number of torches rising here all of a sudden, and felt that there was a problem, so I asked me to wait for the torch to be extinguished and quietly come over to check." ”

Wang Huaqiang asked sharply: "Then what did you hear later, did anyone go back to report the news?" Say it! He was anxious in his heart, this time it can be said that his voice was full of color, and the green light in his eyes was shining, which was really terrifying.

Song Erxi was startled by Wang Huaqiang's sudden and murderous words, and he couldn't speak with his mouth open.

Wang Huaqiang raised his head and said to Ma Laosan: "Third Master Ma, cut off one of his little fingers." ”

Ma Laosan sneered, the knife flashed, and with Song Erxi's scream, one of the little fingers of his left hand was broken, and the person rolled on the ground in pain.

Wang Xuan looked a little unbearable on the side, and quietly stepped forward and said to Wang Huaqiang: "Huaqiang, do you really want to kill like this?" ”

Wang Huaqiang turned his head and looked at Wang Xuan coldly: "Jing Yan, now is the battlefield, I am the commander, the life and death of thousands of people are tied to my thoughts, and the words I say are military orders, everything is accommodating, so I can't lead the troops." ”

Wang Xuan looked at Wang Huaqiang's cold expression, sighed, and retreated.

At this moment of speaking, Ma Laosan had already medicated and bandaged Song Erxi's wound, and Song Erxi was sweating profusely in pain and kept screaming.

Wang Huaqiang said in a deep voice: "If you dare to howl again, you will cut off a hand!" Song Erxi was so frightened that he didn't dare to scream like just now.

Wang Huaqiang continued to squat in front of him, his face sinking like water: "I'll ask again, if you answer slowly this time, you know what the result will be." What did you hear later, and did anyone go back to report it? ”

As soon as the words fell, Song Erxi hurriedly said: "We heard that you are from Jiangbei, and there are other second sons or something, and I can't hear it clearly from a distance." Then Li Dudu said to release the arrows first, shoot a few thieves to death, and the fog is so thick that you must not dare to rush over, and let us fight Bangzi to strengthen our momentum.

Later, a group of thieves rushed over in the fog, no, no, no, a group of heavenly soldiers and generals rushed over, we couldn't stop it at all, Li Dudu was also injured, and ran away on horseback. ”

Wang Huaqiang asked in a deep voice: "One team is fifty people, and one is the governor, why do you only come out with thirty or forty people?" What time is it, and are your barracks still understaffed? Can't you see the thousands of troops on the other side? ”

Song Erxi hurriedly said: "Over the years, the north has been engaged in these famous halls every day, and at the beginning, General Xiao took it seriously, gathered all the soldiers to return to the camp to defend, but after doing this several times, everyone was tired, not to mention the wrong farming time, and there were no young people in the village to defend it."

In the past few years, we have run out of surplus food in the village, and even the army has not enough rations, so after joining the army, we can only drink gruel, so no one wants to be a soldier.

Therefore, there are only about seventy percent of the soldiers in the camp now, and Li Dudu is the leader of our village, and if you hadn't been beating gongs and drums in the north for the past few months, we wouldn't have recruited them as soldiers, and today is almost the end of the year, and none of the brothers want to come out on patrol. ”

Song Erxi has also suffered a lot of sins these days, and at this time, he simply poured beans from the bamboo tube and said it all, because there was a lot of valuable information in his words, Wang Huaqiang never interrupted.
