Li Yan straddled the horse in despair, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart.

The fire on the shore behind him was burning fiercely, and the boiling water in front of him had not yet been extinguished, and the screams of the officers and soldiers like pigs were filled, and the battle was lost. The cruel truth gave the young Li Yan a blow to the head! Now, if you want to talk about the meritorious service of the thief, and from now on the career is open, I am afraid that I will not even be able to keep the head of the Xiang.

Recalling that when he set out from Fuyang County on the fifth watch, he was still full of ambition and high spirits, and he never thought that he would end up like this.

"Ugh."

Li Yan let out a long sigh, his despair enveloped him deeply, and he pulled out his sword with his backhand, and closed his eyes to wipe it from his neck.

"Whew!"

"Ding!"

A sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, Li Yan only felt that his arm was numb, the sword in his hand had flown away, and it was inserted into the swamp with a bang, and only a slight wave on the water surface disappeared.

On the swamp shore, Guan Hai shot Li Yan's sword with an arrow, and then threw out a pair of rope nooses, strangled Li Yan's shoulders and dragged him to the shore like a dead pig, and then grinned, revealing Bai Sensen's steel teeth, and said hehe: "Hehe, catch an official." ”

The Lord was captured, and the last trace of resistance of the officers and soldiers also disappeared, and they threw away their weapons and surrendered.

An ambush battle without suspense has finally settled.

Eight hundred Liukou were unprepared, three hundred officers and soldiers were attacked by the destruction of the surname in an unsuspecting situation, the two armies had not even started a formal contact battle, and the 300 officers and troops brought by Li Yan were all wiped out, and none of them escaped. The Eight Hundred Liukou were a complete victory, and Ma Yue perfectly realized his strategic intentions.

When it was slightly dark, the battlefield was cleared.

Pei Yuanshao ran over and reported to Ma Yue: "Boqi, there are two brothers who have been smoked in this battle, one has been saved and the other is not alive. Of the 307 officers and soldiers, 21 were burned to death, 19 were scalded, 2 were trapped in the mud and could not be found, and the remaining 265 were captured by us. ”

Guan Hai said: "I also caught an officer." ”

"Bring the officer in." Ma Yue's eyebrows covered a shadow, and he said in a deep voice, "The rest of them strip naked, collect their weapons, and then tie them up and throw them in the snow, leaving them to fend for themselves." ”

Liu Yanxiu next to her frowned lightly, and couldn't bear to say: "They will freeze to death." ”

Ma Yue said: "I am the big leader of the eight hundred Liukou, not the big leader of the official army, and their life or death has nothing to do with me." ”

"Then you don't have to strip your clothes, just collect your weapons."

"I have a point, don't say more!"

Liu Yan pursed her lips and sighed faintly.

The sound of footsteps, Guan Hai had already escorted the disheveled Li Yan to Ma Yue, Ma Yue's gaze fell on Li Yan's face like a knife, Li Yan met Ma Yue's fierce gaze, his body was stiff for a moment, but soon a wave of arrogance surged in his heart, looked at the sky, and snorted from his nostrils.

Ma Yue was stunned in his heart, he didn't expect that the scholars of this era really had this moral surname, and they didn't have the consciousness of being a captive at all. Can putting on such a face cover up the fact that the army was defeated and captured? Can cocking your head and melon seeds show the demeanor of a national warrior who would rather die than give in? When you meet an unreasonable person, cut off your head with a knife, and see where you can buy regret medicine?

How many people can really bury themselves to death?

Ma Yue hates these pretend guys the most in his life.

"Guan Hai!"

Ma Yue let out a loud shout.

Guan Hai's wolf-like eyes turned to Ma Yue, and he replied sharply: "Yes." ”

"Drag this defeated general down and show the public!"

"Yes!"

Guan Hai agreed, his eyes were murderous, he grabbed Li Yan in two steps and dragged Li Yan up like a dead dog, and strode towards the swamp. Li Yan's face was also pale, and his body trembled slightly, but he finally gritted his teeth and didn't spit out half a word of begging for mercy from his mouth.

Guan Hai dragged Li Yan to the edge of the swamp and kicked at the crook of Li Yan's leg, Li Yan snorted in pain and knelt down on one knee, Guan Hai's eyes were sharp, the steel knife in his hand was raised high, and the sharp cold glow looked extremely cold in the twilight, and the teeth of many officers and soldiers had begun to fight.

Li Yan gritted his teeth, his steel teeth had bitten his lips and were bleeding, but he never said a word.

Guan Hai hesitated for a moment, looked back at Ma Yue, Ma Yue's dark eyes flashed a trace of awe, although he didn't know what the name of this young officer and army officer was, how old he was, but he already believed that this was a fierce man, such a man, if he died like this, it would be a pity.

Even if he will become an enemy in the future, even if he will pose a threat to himself in the future, Ma Yue still decided to let him go, not for anything else, just because he is a real man, a man who can die calmly, no matter what, is worthy of respect.

Seeing Ma Yue shaking his head, Guan Hai was relieved, and escorted Li Yan back to Ma Yue.

Li Yan asked in a deep voice: "Why don't you do it yet?" ”

Ma Yue said: "You are a man, I don't want to kill you, are you willing to serve me?" ”

Li Yan's eyes showed cold disdain, and he said in a deep voice: "You better kill me." ”

Ma Yue raised his head to the sky, laughed three times, and said loudly: "I knew that you couldn't work for me, but I still won't kill you, would you like to tell your name?" ”

Li Yan said proudly: "Nanyang Li Yan is." ”

"Li Yan!?" Ma Yue's eyes froze, his heart was relieved, and he said loudly, "It turns out that Your Excellency is Li Yan." ”

Li Yan was puzzled: "Do you know me? ”

Ma Yue said with a smile: "I have heard the name of the foot for a long time, but I have never seen each other, but now I see it, and it is indeed worthy of the name." ”

Li Yan's expression was indifferent, and he said indifferently: "The general of the defeated army." ”

Ma Yue smiled slightly, and suddenly said inexplicably: "Thank you Mr. Li Yan for your help, I will be grateful for entering Fuyang County." ”

Li Yan's face changed, and he lost his voice: "Help you...... Fuyang County ...... What do you mean? ”

Ma Yue no longer paid attention to Li Yan, and shouted: "Where is Guan Hai? ”

Guan Hai took a step forward, and Sen Ran responded: "In!" ”

"Immediately light up 200 brothers, change into official and military robes and weapons, and rush to Fuyang County overnight."

"Uh......" Guan Hai almost choked himself to death with a mouthful of saliva, and wondered, "That's it...... Just give 200 people? Go...... Go to Fuyang County? ”

Ma Yue awe-inspiring asked, "What?" ”

Guan Hai hissed a breath of cold air, his eyes sharpened, and he turned around and left.

"Come back!"

Ma Yue snorted, and Guan Hai obediently stopped.

Ma Yue said: "After rushing to the city, you can lead 50 people as outposts, falsely claiming to be Li Yan's official army, and now you have defeated the thief Kou and returned victoriously. ”

Li Yan's expression changed greatly when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "You ...... Shaft Ann Dare? ”

Ma Yue's face was expressionless, and he continued to instruct Guan Hai: "When the city gate is opened, then lead the troops to flock into the city, just guard the east gate, do not fight with the enemy, and do not go deep into the city. ”

"Yes."

Guan Hai let out a loud shout, turned around and went to count the people.

"Pei Yuanshao."

Seeing that he was called, Pei Yuanshao also took a step forward and held his head high to obey the order.

"Order you to lead 200 people, set off immediately after Guan Hai, and go to the west gate of Yuyang County to ambush, I expect that after Fuyang is attacked, the city officials and rich families will escape from the west gate. But when the west gate is opened, and the drawbridge falls, and no one is waiting for the people to go out of the city, you will immediately light torches and ambush them, and you will surely force them back into the city, and not one of them will escape. ”

"Yes!"

Pei Yuanshao yelled, and also turned around to count the manpower.

"The rest of the brothers seized the time to rest, and when they had enough spirits, they went to Yuyang County with me, and when they seized the county seat, they would drink wine and eat meat in large bowls!"

Liukou applauded, and had the audacity to ask, "Big boss, what about the beautiful girls you promised us?" ”

Ma Yue said solemnly: "If you want to find a woman, you can, I still say the same thing, if anyone dares to harm the poor people, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face and being ruthless!" ”

"What does the big boss mean, when we enter the city, as long as we don't harm the poor people, we can do anything?"

"That's what it means!" Ma Yue said sharply, "But Lao Tzu said ugly things ahead, if you kid really robbed ten or eight girls back, everyone can't catch up when they slip away, and you kid walks on his back!" ”

The rogues were speechless, and the rest of the rogues burst into laughter.

In the chaotic laughter of the rogues, Li Yan's face was pale and his expression was worried. Only now did Li Yan truly realize that this defeat at the hands of this "unknown" thief was actually not unjust at all! This man is not only shrewd and decisive, but also good at control, just by seeing how much these thieves are in awe of him.

According to the design of this thief, Fuyang County is unprepared, and there is a good chance that the city will be lost, and once the city is lost, the top will be held responsible...... Thinking of this, Li Yan shuddered excitedly, and didn't dare to think about it anymore, what made him even more frightened was that when the general He Jin's Ling Zun was still in the city, if there was an accident, Li Yan would not be able to cut off ten heads.

Catching up with the thick twilight, Li Yan sighed in his heart, now, he would rather cut off his head with a knife. This insidious and cunning leader of thieves is really not at ease, this is to charge him with fornicating with thieves and aiding and abetting, which is really a hundred times more vicious than killing him.
