In the early morning, the rising sun faded the sky in front of it into a golden yellow, and the soft light spread out from the thick clouds.

Xia Man got up early in the morning, and after changing the medicine for Xiao Mo, he went to the second room to get food.

"Brother Xia, get up so early." Zhang Dajiang shook the big spoon in his hand and greeted Xia Man with a smile.

"The early bird has worms." Xia Man looked around and found a bowl of black beans, and grabbed a handful of beans and put them in his mouth, crispy and fragrant.

Glimpsing Xia Man eating beans, Master Zhang instructed: "You can't eat too much of that thing, you can fart if you eat too much." ”

Xia Man swallowed the last mouthful of beans and asked a little embarrassedly: "Then you still fry beans in the second room, you are not afraid that the soldiers will eat flatulence." ”

"That's for the horses."

Zhang Dajiang's fluttering words made Xia Man's stomach churn, and he said angrily: "Then you didn't say it earlier." ”

"You didn't ask."

On the way, I saw the war horses lined up in a row, eating grass and black beans leisurely, and couldn't help muttering, "My treatment is the same as yours." ”

The war horse seemed to understand Xia Man's words, and raised his head one by one and spat at her a few times.

"Too much deception!" Xia left the stable angrily, complaining non-stop, "What a broken place!" It's okay to be a laborer to serve that master for no reason, and now even the horse bullies me. ”

When he arrived at the camp, Xiao Mo was already waiting, and Xia Man put the porridge in front of the desk and sat on the chair opposite.

Xiao Mo picked up the porridge and was about to drink it, when he saw Xia Man pulling his face, he asked, "Why do you do this?"

"It's nothing, I just feel like my life is not good." The haze above Xia Man's head has not dissipated for a long time, and he finally took advantage of today to vent the boredom in his heart once.

"How can a person with a bad life have such a good jade pendant." Xiao Mo took a sip of porridge and looked at Xia Man inquiringly.

"It's not mine."

"Whose is that?"

"Who knows!"

The more Xia Man thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, so he simply buried his face in the back of the chair, the death of his past relatives, his bitterness, and the fear after crossing hit her together, overwhelming her, and tears quietly overflowed, dripping down the back of the chair.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo didn't ask anymore, but just drank the porridge in his hand.

Time passed little by little, and Xia Man calmed down and began to meditate.

The rhythmic drum sound of 'dong dong dong' reached the camp tent, pulling Xia Man back to reality from meditation, turning around, looking at Xiao Mo, and asking, "What is this sound?"

"The sound of war drums." Xiao Mo sat up from the couch with a serious expression.

The sound of drums continued to break into Xia Man's ears, making her heart panic, although she had also read the cruelty of the ancient battlefield in ancient texts, and also felt the white bones of the battlefield in the poems, but now that she was here, she really felt the fear.

"Third brother." Xiao Xun hurriedly entered the account and reported the situation outside, "The two armies have already exchanged hands in front of the battle, and we are not strong enough, so I am afraid that we will not be able to hold out for too long." ”

"Then don't fight, you lead all the soldiers in front of you to retreat from the side to the valley ten miles away, and if you are chased, do not fight, and get out of the way; Those who are still in the camp are all gathered, and I will take him by surprise. Xiao Mo returned to his original coldness, and this look fell on Xia Man's eyes, and there was a sense of relief.

The main force has withdrawn to the valley, how can the remaining men and horses resist the menacing enemy army, Xiao Xun didn't dare to imagine, he was anxious, and said: "The army is withdrawn, what should you do?"

"I have my own countermeasures, what you have to do is to reduce the losses, and when the enemy withdraws, you can lead the army to fight back, and the crisis can be solved."

Xiao Xun was still worried, but what the third brother said was so sure, he could only make up his mind and hurriedly go out to deploy.

Xia Manjing walked up to Xiao Mo and asked worriedly, "Do you really have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Xiao Mo raised his eyes and saw a pair of red and swollen eyes, only to know that she was crying just now, so he used a ridiculous tone to give her a relaxed mood, "Rabbit gall? It scares you out of tears. ”

Xia Man rubbed his eyes and followed his words: "I'm going to die, don't let me cry yet." ”

Xiao Mo couldn't cry or laugh, he couldn't comfort him and was robbed, he wanted to teach him a lesson, but when he saw her panicked look again, he was angry, "You can't die, you just watch." ”

Xia Man had no intention of talking to him anymore, so he simply squatted in the corner of the table, hugging each other, trying to search for all the information about the ancient battlefield in his mind to see if he could find a glimmer of life.

Seeing this, Xiao Mo only let her meditate silently alone.

The drums showed signs of abating, accompanied by a cacophony of sounds, and with it, the news of the retreat of the army into the valley.

"Lord Qi, King Qi has led the army to retreat to the nearby valley, how can we resist?" Zhou Chang is armored and holds a sword, showing the demeanor of a general.

Xiao Mo rhythmically knocked on the table, thought for a moment and said: "The enemy army has not yet returned, so let the elite soldiers on the left flank lie in ambush on both sides of the road, relying on the favorable terrain, disturbing and blocking it; The elite soldiers on the right flank prepared food, entered the fortifications, and met the enemy head-on. ”

Zhou Chang pondered slightly and raised his worries, "There are only 200 elite soldiers on the right wing, even if there are fortifications, but in the face of the iron cavalry of the heavenly wolf, I am afraid that I will hit the stone with an egg." ”

"I'll think about it again, you go down and get ready first."

"Command!"

Xiao Mo pinched his eyebrows, the troubles came one after another, and his brain hurt, his strategy against the enemy was only a three-point chance of winning, but it was imperative, whether he could escape this catastrophe or not, it depended on his fate.

Xia Man thought about it for a long time, but he didn't find useful information, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Mo's sad face, so he stepped forward and rubbed his head, wanting to give him ideas, but he had no choice but to do nothing, and he couldn't even remember the famous "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies", so he could only comfort, "Things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and the advantages and disadvantages can also be converted into each other, and before the last moment, there is vitality." ”

"I don't know a few big characters, but the truth is a basket." Xiao Mo temporarily hid his depressed mood and re-examined the woman in front of him, with red lips and white teeth, jade skin and cream, she can be regarded as a beauty, but there are many people who have such a thing, and no matter how beautiful it is, it will be tired, and this Xia Man, although there are many doubts on his body, can be touched, which makes Xiao Mo feel a little good.

Xia Man wanted to confess a few words, but the current situation did not allow her to say more, Zhou Chang had already entered the account in a hurry, his hair was messy, his armor was broken, a cut was made on his arm, blood continued to ooze, and his face was full of exhaustion and worry.

"Lord Wang, the elite soldiers on the right wing are fighting with the Heavenly Wolf Department, and they have suffered heavy losses, I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand it." Zhou Chang clenched the sword in his hand, and his arm trembled constantly due to injury.

Xiao Mo stood up with a solemn expression, "The fortifications are so strong, why can't you withstand them?"

"Our fortifications were dug for land warfare, but that day the wolves were fierce, fighting on horses, and never dismounted, so the fortifications were useless."

"How are the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasties? How is King Qi's army?" Xiao Mo's heart was suddenly full of dark clouds, and the three-point chance he expected was only half a point left.

"Most of the army of King Qi has retreated to the valley, and the enemy army of the Northern Dynasty is not entangled when they see this, they have already rushed back, fortunately the army on the left flank has been delayed for a while, I think, it will not take a while, the enemy army of the Northern Dynasty will get out, if the two enemy forces converge......" Zhou Chang couldn't bear to speak, only imagined the dry bones everywhere, and couldn't help but shiver.

"Then destroy the Celestial Wolf Army before the enemy army of the Northern Dynasty arrives." Xiao Mo had another plan in his heart.

Zhou Chang shook his head, his eyes were full of helplessness, "The Heavenly Wolf Army is riding on a war horse, our spears can't pierce them, they don't dismount, and our fortifications are useless."

"Then cut the war horse first!"

"The war horse is wearing armor, and our swords will not work against it."

Xiao Mo clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Animals are afraid of fire, do you use torches to drive the war horses?"

"Everything that can be used has been used, but none of them will work against that beast."

The sword split and stabbed, and the water and fire were together, but instead of hurting the war horse, his own soldiers fell into it a lot. Zhou Chang has fought for many years, and he has never been so helpless and so cowardly.

Rao is Xiao Mo, the Southern Dynasty is invincible, and King Heng, who can resist the enemy thousands of miles away, is also helpless when facing horses that do not understand human nature.

There was silence in the account, and the sound of fighting outside the account had already been heard, which inevitably added a bit of sadness to the scene at this time.

Xia Man stepped forward with trepidation and suggested to Xiao Mo: "You might as well tempt him with food." ”

"Bold! The affairs of the army do not allow a little woman to put her beak in her beak. Zhou Chang struggled to get up, his eyes wide with anger.

Xiao Mo raised his hand, stopped Zhou Chang, looked at Xia Man, and said with a serious face: "How to tempt?" Let's hear it. ”

"The black beans used to feed the war horses in the second room are crispy and dense, and the quantity is extremely large, if they are sprinkled in the fortifications, the horses will definitely eat a few bites, and on the contrary, so many beans are on the ground, and it is difficult for people to move an inch."

There was a strange light in Xiao Mo's eyes, and he turned to Zhou Chang and said: "Hurry up and ask the second room to take out all the black beans, and then ask the military doctor to bring a few bags of croton, mix them, and scatter them all into the fortifications. ”

Zhou Chang hurriedly went to arrange, Xiao Mo's left-wing elite soldiers were also very competitive, and hundreds of people were able to drag down the Northern Dynasty army, giving the upcoming battle of life and death a precedence.

Xia Man paced to the root of the wall, pointed his ears and listened to the sound outside the camp tent, as if there was a tendency to die down, and his heart couldn't help but ignite hope, just turned his head, Xiao Mo's face was in front of him, Xia Man was startled, took a half step back, patted his chest, calmed down, and said, "What are you doing, scare me." ”

Xiao Mo looked Xia Man up and down, and said playfully, "How do you know that the black beans that feed the horses are crispy and dense?"

Xia Man swallowed, "I...... I guess. ”

"Oh." Xiao Mo suddenly approached Xia Man, pressed to her ear, and whispered, "Good guess." ”

Xia Man looked at Xiao Mo puzzled, and just as he was about to ask, he heard a sharp flute sound, which swept through the sky and drifted away. Xiao Mo immediately became serious, "Quickly clean up and pull out the camp immediately." ”

Xia Man sensed danger from Xiao Mo's expression, so he no longer hesitated and hurriedly began to pack his things.
