On April 15 of the second year, the sky was clear. The drums and horns sounded in the south of the city finally calmed down completely as the sun set. The besiegers retreated in an orderly manner, and the defenders at the head of the city struck their shields with their swords, celebrating and sending off as if they were farewell. When Wang Feng walked out of the tower in the south of the city, a bright moon in the sky had already released a bright white light, and he remembered a poem by Li Yi when he touched the scene:

"The sand is like snow in front of Huile Feng, and the moon in the city is like frost. I don't know where to blow the reed pipe, and I recruit people to look at the hometown overnight. ”

Ma Yue's defeat has been decided, and Wang Feng can see this from the spirit of the siege soldiers. The former soldiers were obviously tired of fighting their own people, and even if Ma Yue personally supervised the battle on the riverbank with a knife, the soldiers seemed absent-minded. The attackers and defenders even reached a tacit understanding, and the arrows fired by the soldiers were not aimed at each other, but at the thick earthen wall, or into the air, and while shooting, they had to take care of the sentence: "Get out of the way, let go of the arrows." "After the ladder for the siege was erected, no one climbed up for half a day, and then it was calmly pushed down by the defenders at the head of the city.

The broken ladder was carried to repair, and the craftsmen grinded as if they hadn't eaten for eight days, and seven or eight people had to toss for half a day to complete a ladder.

Ma Yue also saw this, and halfway through the battle, he hid in a boat parked on the river. Maka snorted angrily, "Is this a fucking war? The drill is more casual than usual, and if they continue to fight like this, they are afraid that as soon as it gets dark, they will raise a bonfire to barbecue meat and drink. Ma Yue smiled bitterly: "In your opinion, what should I do?" Marca thought for a while, sighed and said, "Let's retreat." Let's retreat, it's time for them to fight. Ma Yue understood that the "they" that Marca said meant Wang Feng and the White Water Fox, and possibly Wang Lin.

"It's hard to ride a tiger now." Ma Yue sighed. He was full of confidence that as long as he concentrated his forces to attack from the south of the city, it would not be difficult to open a gap, but when the first round of attacks failed, he realized that he was wrong. The army in his own hands has completely lost its fighting spirit. The human heart is so hard to fathom. Just now, he was still high-spirited and regarded death as home, but in the blink of an eye, it fell apart. After leading the army for many years, Ma Yue knew very well what it meant for the army's morale to collapse, and he knew how terrible the consequences of a defeat would be.

He had to stop this from happening.

"Mingjin retreats." Ma Yue finally made up his mind, and without waiting for the lieutenant to ask, he added, "Order the retreating teams to immediately set up villages along the river." ”

"But this ......" camping under the fortified city is undoubtedly a taboo for soldiers, and the captain of the military academy feels that he needs to remind the main general.

"Hugh more! Ben will have his own opinions. Ma Yue rudely interrupted the lieutenant. The concerns of the lieutenant were not superfluous, not to mention that it was easy for the enemy to take advantage of the camp, even if the camp was set up, Wang Feng would be able to crush them with just one charge. But at this point, if you want to withdraw the main force, you can only sacrifice part of your interests.

At the head of the city, Wang Feng, who had finished chanting the poem, took a deep breath, called Wang Yun and Wang Bi in front of him, and said with a smile: "Take out all the wine and meat you have hidden, let everyone eat and drink enough, and rest for another hour." I'm going to let you out and kill tonight. Wang Yun looked at the former sergeants who were camping by the river, and was overjoyed: "Ma Yue is really in vain, isn't it self-defeating to camp against the water?" Wang Bi said: "I don't think he's stupid, he wants to run away." Wang Yun was puzzled: "What do you want to run and camp?" Burners with a lot of money and food? ”

Wang Bi said with a smile: "This is called Ming Xiu Plank Road, and Darkness Chen Cang." He was afraid that he would not be able to get out of the retreat because he would be bitten by us, so he deliberately put on this posture. Don't you see that the soldiers who are besieging the city during the day are all listless, and if he retreats, let's chase after him, and the brothers over there may be the opposite. ”

After listening to this, Wang Yun pondered for a long time and couldn't think of a reason, so he asked Wang Feng: "Second brother, is he right?" Wang Feng glanced at Wang Bi, who looked childish, and then at Wang Yun, who was confused, and scolded with a smile: "Rotten wood cannot be carved, but children can be taught." Let's go and prepare. ”

At two o'clock that night, the south gate of Zhongshou City was quietly opened, and Wang Yun and Wang Bi brothers led 800 elite tooth troops to raid the Tiande former military camp on the river beach. The camp was empty, only a few guards of the village, and when they saw the Ya army coming in, they surrendered without much resistance, and when they asked the prisoners, they learned that Ma Yue and the main force of the front army had already quietly withdrawn to the south bank of the river. Wang Yun clapped his hands and laughed: "Thirteen is so insightful." Jumping on his feet and scolding at Nan'an: "Ma'er, the master is here, there is a kind of coming over to fight with the master for three hundred rounds." ”

Wang Bi reminded him: "Take a look at what is written in the bag that the second brother gave you." Before the two of them left the city, Wang Feng personally handed Wang Yun a bag and asked him to open his eyes with Wang Bi after the victory. In the bag was a warrant from Wang Feng, and the two of them looked at it together, and they were both surprised and delighted. Wang Yun yelled at the soldiers who were searching for utensils in the camp: "I lost the pots and pots!" Go with Lao Tzu to kill the fox! ”

The white water fox set up three camps in the north of the Zhongshou City, and the three corners were facing Huyan Valley, Huile Village and Zhongshou City. They are more than twenty miles away from each other, and the white water fox is stationed in Beizhai to deal with the horse crossbows in Huyan Valley. He had been defeated by Ma Crossbow three times before, but he believed that as long as the Wang brothers could abide by the covenant and relieve him of his worries, he would still have enough confidence to turn defeat into victory.

After Wang Feng won a great victory in the south of the city, he concluded that Ma Yue was no longer his main opponent. He silently raised his sword, and suddenly turned and stabbed the back of the white water fox's heart. Just when Wang Yun and Wang Bi brothers led the army to attack the former military camp, Wang Feng personally led the main force of the tooth army out of the city to attack the south village of Baishui Fox. Prior to this, Wang Feng asked 80 soldiers to drive 50 oxen, 100 sheep and 15 carts of wine to Nanying to offer condolences, and the people of Murowei happily accepted the goods, and left these 80 soldiers to drink in the camp.

Wang Feng used the Trojan horse to win by surprise, at the beginning of the sea from the north gate out of the city, at the end of the time to capture the south village of the white water fox, in addition to the time to attack the camp only half an hour. What surprised him a little was that all the people in Nanzhai were old, weak, sick and disabled. After interrogating the prisoners, it was learned that at the end of the day, the white water fox issued a military order to transfer the elite in the village.

At the same time that Wang Feng captured Nanzhai, Wang Lin was also ordered to capture the West Village of the White Water Fox, and the strategy used was almost the same as Wang Feng's, and what he got was almost an empty village. Wang Lin only received Wang Feng's warrant ordering him to send troops at the beginning of the day, and at this time he had no time to argue with Wang Feng. Wang Feng's intention is very clear, you, Wang Lin, must choose someone between your brother and the white water fox. Although Wang Lin strongly disapproved of Wang Feng's practice of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, he had no way back but to send troops to capture Xizhai.

When Wang Yun and Wang Bi brothers rushed to Nanzhai as promised, when they found that Nanzhai had been captured, the belligerent Wang Yun was very annoyed when he arrived, complaining that Wang Feng was too fast, and blamed Wang Bi for walking too slowly. Wang Bi smiled and said, "Are you still afraid that there will be no war?" The white fox is still alive, can we let him leave the Tiande Army alive? Wang Yun clapped his hands and said, "Yes, second brother, why don't we take advantage of the victory to kill the past?" ”

Wang Feng muttered: "The White Water Fox has transferred all the elites to the North Camp, maybe he is preparing to capture Huyan Valley, if so, we can wait." ”

Wang Bi hurriedly persuaded: "No, let's copy his back road, it won't be long before he knows." If he abandons the village in a fit of rage, the north gate of the surrendered city will be wide open. In this way, the white water fox is gone, but Ma Yue is alive again. Now he can only take advantage of his unpreparedness to send surprise troops to capture Beizhai, which can not only remove the fox but also deter the horse crossbow. Ma Yuefang is already in chaos, and if he is frightened by us again, he may be slumped. ”

Wang Yun said: "Yes, second brother, we are all here, what are you waiting for?" If you don't kill it in one go, when you get angry, maybe let him kill us and destroy us. ”

Wang Feng thought of this and made up his mind, and at that moment, the three of them joined forces to attack the White Water Fox in the north, and at the same time, they quickly ordered Wang Lin to move to the south of Huyan Valley to contain the horse crossbow. There are about forty miles from Nanzhai to Beizhai, and everyone gallops on horseback, but they see the watchtower of Beizhai in half an hour. At this time, Wang Feng received a shocking news: Wu Guihao, the deputy envoy of Tiande, and Wu Guiyuan, the commander of the rear army, launched a mutiny and occupied the surrendered city, and Wu Guihao claimed to be the queen.

When Wang Feng heard this, he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", and immediately fell off the horse.

Wang Yun and Wang Bi hurriedly hugged him, pinched him and pressed his chest, and it took a long time for Wang Feng to wake up. cried to the two of them: "The foolish brother is really stupid, harming others and himself." Wang Yun smashed the ground with his fist and scolded: "Wu Guihao, this old man is really damned." Second brother, let's go back to kill the general, forgive those few people under his account, how can they be our opponents? Wang Feng smiled bitterly: "Now that you and my family are in his hands, how can we fight him?" Wives and children are not enough, but should the parents who are born and raised also be abandoned? When Wang Yun heard this, he gritted his teeth with hatred and was helpless.

The three of them were in a hurry, and someone sent a letter. The letter was written by Wang Feng's biological mother Lou Yuan'er, Lou Yuan'er said in the letter that there were riots in the city, and it was rumored that Wang Feng was dead. He and the descendants of the Wang family have been admitted to Yacheng to live in a centralized manner, so Wang Feng must not worry about it. After reading the letter, Wang Feng immediately burst into tears.

At this time, a troop of soldiers and horses came from the south, numbering about thirty or fifty men. The first person is Wu Guihao's subordinate general Mei Bao, he held the token and shouted from afar: "The handsome man has an order, Wang Feng will pick it up!" ”

Wang Yun was furious when he heard this, and he drew his bow and shot an arrow "whoosh", and Mei Bao suddenly fell off his horse, and his nose and eyes were swollen. Wang Yun drew his sword and went to chop him. The panicked Wang Bi hugged him and shouted, "Ninth brother Hugh wants to make a mistake!" ”

Wang Yun shouted: "Get out of the way!" This old man has ridden on our heads, can you still tolerate him? Wang Bi said: "The two countries are fighting each other, and they will not be killed." Let's all listen to the second brother. ”

Wang Feng stepped forward to help Mei Bao up, and said with relief. Mei Bao lost all his vigor at this time, and knelt down to present a letter and said, "General Wu has a letter to Gongzi." Wang Feng opened the letter, took a deep breath, and said: "General, rest the horse, I will explain the two things and go back with you." After speaking, let Mei Bao go down to rest.

called Wang Yun and Wang Bi aside again, and Wang Bi asked, "Does the second brother really want to go back?" Wang Feng said: "Wu Guihao took our family, I can't go back." Wang Yun said: "When the second brother goes back, I will go back too." I will follow you in the mountains of swords and the sea of fire. Seeing that Wang Bi bowed his head and was silent, he pushed him and said, "Thirteen, don't you want to go back?" Wang Bi said categorically: "I won't go back!" I'm going to Sango's. Only if the third brother is safe and sound, Wu Guihao will have scruples and dare not harm the second brother and our family. Wang Yun shouted: "In this case, we simply don't go back." ”

Wang Feng said: "What the thirteenth brother said is reasonable, Wu Guihao has many cronies in the Ya Army. If I don't go back, I can't guarantee that there will be chaos. You all go to the third brother and help him stabilize his position. The life, death, honor and disgrace of the Wang family depend on you. At that moment, the three brothers said goodbye in tears.
