Chapter 9 is heart-wrenching

After picking his mount and receiving a set of bows and arrows, Xu Mengmeng devoted himself to the great cause of cutting trees. Soon the team that went to Rongcheng came back, and they not only brought back several carts of wine, but also several carts of steamed buns.

After enduring hunger for a day's work, and receiving a white and a gray steamed bun, Xu Mengmeng ate deliciously, and sure enough, he used to think that the food in the military camp was not easy to eat, or because he was too full!

The enemy's re-attack came quickly, and as Xu Mengmeng expected, it was a large group of infantry, estimated to be twice as many as his own. Sitting on the high-headed horses beside several generals, looking at the large area of black water that was getting closer and closer, Xu Mengmeng's calves and stomach still couldn't help but tremble, and his hands holding the bow and arrow tightened.

Seeing that the enemy had entered the range of our army's layout, General Li threw a look at the drummers in the ranks, and the war drums sounded, and although the enemy held their shields tightly to protect the perimeter, the brothers who were lying in ambush on the high ground poured a jar of wine on the wood they had cut down earlier and threw it towards the middle of the enemy.

Arrows with fire were shot out, and the screams of the enemy army sounded, and the scorching smell of barbecue came from a burst, Xu Mengmeng felt like he was falling into an ice cellar, his stomach was overturned, and his whole body was even more terrifyingly cold.

It's a bunch of living people!

I don't know when the top has stopped throwing wood, the general gave an order, Xu Mengmeng rushed up with everyone like a puppet, and stabbed the knife in his hand to the enemy's throat while crying, warm blood splashed on his hand, Xu Mengmeng resisted the urge to throw the knife out, looking sad and numb. The two armies had already been killed, and the battle was unprecedentedly tragic.

By the time the battle was over for more than an hour, Xu Mengmeng's carefully selected mount was no longer known for its head, and there were only pieces of fallen corpses around him, among which were from his own side, but more of them were unrecognizable enemy troops.

At this time, there were less than 2,000 people still standing on his side, and most of them were scarred, and the enemy's 25,000-strong team except for a few hundred people fled, and all the others were confessed to this place called Baishipo, and the rivers of blood did not know where to go.

Although the battle was won, no one had a smile on the faces of the rest of the people, and a group of men silently lifted the corpses of their companions into the dug pit with red eyes, while the fallen enemy soldiers did not even have a single person to collect the corpses.

Because it was a cavalry, although he lost his war horse later, but fortunately, Xu Mengmeng's body was petite and his movements were flexible, except for a slight injury to his left hand and shoulder, it was not a big deal, and the rest of the twelve horsemen were also injured a little by Mu Feng and Fuguang, among which Mu Feng was injured to help Qingli block the knife, and the injury was a little more serious.

After placing the corpses of their companions and dealing with their injuries, the rest of the team packed up and prepared to return to the city.

Xu Mengmeng walked at the back of the team, and finally looked back at the corpses all over the ground, the choice in his heart became firmer, and he turned around and left with the team back to the city!

Because of his meritorious work twice and his courage when killing the enemy, Xu Mengmeng was directly promoted to a partial general, in charge of a team of 3,000 people, and with his first army, he was still quite proud in his heart, and his previous sadness was also diluted.

Several of the twelve horses showed outstanding performance, and they were also promoted to hundreds of households and thousands of households, and those who were not promoted also received some rewards, Daniel Zhang was also promoted from the head of a thousand households to a general, and he was in charge of these three thousand people together, and what made Xu Mengmeng secretly happy was that although Zhao Motou became Zhao Qianhu, but he became a soldier in his own hands, not only this, but the three thousand troops under his command accounted for more than half of those who came back from Baishipo, that is to say, the twelve horses became their own team openly.

"Hey, what are you kid doing here?" Xu Mengmeng took care of his wounds and was fantasizing about how to abuse Zhao Da Devil in the future, and those who had bullied him with his small size, but he was slapped on the back of the head by someone, and his body staggered, and he almost didn't fall to the ground.

"General Li! What's the matter with me? Xu Mengmeng looked at the hand of the man in front of him wrapped in a thick bandage, touched the back of his head with a faint pain, and stiffly hooked the corners of his mouth, forget it, we are excellent sons and daughters of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and we don't care about the old, weak, sick and disabled people for the time being, and when we make great contributions in the future and become his boss, then hehehe......

"General Wu asked me to call you to the council hall to discuss the next plan to defend the city!"

"Let's go!" When it came to business, Xu Mengmeng's attitude also became serious.

"Subordinate Ning Jun, see the generals!" It's still a simple and neat bow.

"Bold, why didn't you kneel when you saw General Ben? Don't you think you are great just because you have made a little contribution, so you can not take General Ben in your eyes? ”

Before General Wu could speak, he jumped out to find fault, Xu Mengmeng recognized this person as Sun Zhihua, the former deputy general of Rongcheng, not so much that he wanted to find fault, but that Chen Ming, the guard of Rongcheng behind him, was unhappy with himself, but he just didn't know why, he was here to help!

I was willing to endure bullying before, that was because I didn't have the capital that people could value at that time, and now that people have seen their strength, it's a little too much to say if you are low and small!

"Although I also think I am amazing, why do you say it in front of everyone, Vice General Sun, it's embarrassing!

You don't know, at that time, when I saw the enemy's mighty team of more than 20,000 people rushing over like that, I was so frightened that my legs and stomach trembled on the spot, and I wanted to run back directly, but I thought no, if we all ran away, then the enemy army would have to go directly to the city. ”

"At that time, Vice General Sun, the 20,000 soldiers and horses who originally defended the city, will not be able to go out of the city as the main force to meet the battle, after all, our Yuncheng army is only here to assist, isn't it?

But if that's the case, Vice General Sun's 20,000 men with wide bodies and four or five months' stomachs against the enemy's group of 25,000 hungry red-eyed people, that is the difference between meat and hungry wolves, we can still leave a whole corpse in the battle against the enemy, you estimate that it would be good if you can have a pair of bones left! ”

Although Xu Mengmeng's slightly childish words are funny, they are undoubtedly not stating a fact: the Rongcheng army is used to enjoying life in ordinary times, and they are all abandoned one by one, if it is not for the Yuncheng army to come to support, I am afraid that the enemy army has broken through Rongcheng, and the enemy army is prepared and well-equipped, if it were not for his Ning Jun's strategy to defeat the enemy army, reduce part of the enemy's strength, and delay the enemy's offensive pace, it is estimated that the army of Western Chu will be in the city at this moment.

"Okay, Vice General Sun, now is a special period, don't waste any more time on those red tapes, and hurry up to discuss strategies to deal with the enemy!"

Wu Yi was actually not very happy in his heart, it was true that his army was only here to assist as Ning Jun said, but his own army rushed to come day and night, and before he could catch his breath, he was used as a vanguard to kill the enemy, and he lost more than 8,000 people at once, but their teams that should go out of the city to meet the battle ate well and slept soundly every day.

But now is not the time to worry about these, these are the ones that solve Rong Cheng's urgency, and then he will return to the top.

"Just that's it"

"It will take four days for reinforcements to arrive at the earliest, and if the enemy army is fast, it will be in the city tomorrow!"

Although the people present were all a group of martial artists who didn't have much culture, they were really fools who didn't understand anything, and they didn't need to think much to understand the meaning of Ning Jun's words, so they naturally ignored Sun Zhihua's words.

was scolded by a subordinate who still didn't have any hair, how ugly Sun Zhihua's face was! Xu Mengmeng just wants to hehe, I'm not a soldier under you, I'm afraid of you!

Dare to find me unhappy, don't you know that a woman's quarrel kung fu is first-class? Send it to the door to find a scold, you say I don't humiliate you humiliate anyone!

After scolding Sun Zhihua, who was looking for faults, and seeing Chen Ming's old horseman's black face comparable to pig's liver, Xu Mengmeng's mood was so good that he flew. Sure enough, only by making others unhappy can you be happy! As soon as she is in a good mood, Xu Mengmeng wants to do something to make her mood better, isn't it?
