Erhu looked at Wang Xiaolai's broken mouth and hated his teeth, and said to Zhao Sui: "Lord Wang, I'll kill that guy." ”

Zhao Sui glared: "Don't be impulsive, withdraw quickly." ”

After saying that, don't give it a chance, and go back.

As soon as he moved, he retreated with a large army.

Wang Xiaolai looked at it from the top of the mountain, and said: "Such a good opportunity, can I let you run, how did you Zhao Sui deal with Lu Houye at the beginning, I will deal with you today." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Ready." ”

As the words fell, countless people stood up from his side, like a spreading tide, and in an instant, there were tens of thousands of people with torches on the cliffs on both sides of the valley.

In an instant, the entire valley was illuminated.

Wang Xiaolai pursed his lips: "Light the fire." ”

As soon as the words fell, more than 10,000 torches were thrown into the valley, and countless firewood piles of sulfur and hay saltpeter were thrown into the valley.

In just a short moment, the valley was filled with thick smoke, and the war horses were choked and couldn't find their way.

Zhao Sui covered his face with a cloak, raised his head and gritted his teeth to look at the wound in the valley: "Wang Xiaolai, you are so ruthless." ”

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, no, our retreat has been cut off!"

At this time, Xu Ying rushed in and shouted.

Zhao Sui was stunned when he heard this, and Xu Ying said: "The enemy is those guys who use strange bows and crossbows, and under the continuous shooting, the brothers can't rush out at all." ”

Li Tianxing frowned: "Don't talk nonsense, the suppressive power of the crossbow is strong, but its power is not very powerful, as long as you rush, how can you not rush out." ”

Xu Ying looked back at Li Tianxing: "No, Lord Li, the enemy doesn't know where he got a giant crossbow like a house, and he can shoot through people and horses from two or three hundred steps, and Taniguchi is just a little bit, and he can't get out at all." ”

Zhao Sui felt cool in his heart for a moment: "It's over, a moment of negligence, light into danger, is God going to kill me Zhao Sui!" ”

Li Tianxing shook his head: "No, Lord Wang, we still have a glimmer of life." ”

Zhao Sui was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what was going on, so he saw Li Tianxing and said: "Have you forgotten that there are two generals Dong Kuang and Xue Tong outside the valley." ”

"Even so, the fire in the valley can't allow us to hold out until they rescue us."

"No, I just looked, there aren't too many weeds and trees in the valley, this fire won't burn for long, as long as we survive it, we will be able to escape."

Li Tianxing said this, which really gave Zhao Sui a lot of anger, and when he saw it, his face rekindled his fighting spirit, and he turned around and shouted: "Everyone obeys orders, strictly guards to the death, and must not give the enemy the slightest opportunity to take advantage of." ”

Wang Xiaolai, who came down from the hillside, returned to the direction of the valley mouth, saw the soldiers surrounding the valley mouth, and turned back to Xian Jingyu and said: "How far are the two troops separated by Zhao Sui from the Long Snake Valley?" ”

"That's about an hour." Xian Jingyu replied.

Wang Xiaolai lowered his head and pondered: "An hour, some are too short, you have to take advantage of this kung fu to do some practical things." ”

Shen Xiping and Liu Mianyi looked at each other, walked up and said, "My lord, how about we lead the team to rush in at this time?" ”

Wang Xiaolai looked up at the two of them and smiled: "No, the two of you have been working hard for so long, just watch this battle." ”

Xian Jingyu said: "My lord, there is something I want to remind you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Our army in the Long Snake Valley is only about 10,000, if Zhao Sui's reinforcements really arrive, we have no chance of winning."

Wang Xiaolai lowered his head when he heard this, and pondered for a while: "Who would have thought that Zhao Sui's chicken thief would leave a hand when he entered the valley." ”

The second stunned snorted: "If you want me to say, you should have put the large army in the Long Snake Valley at the beginning, instead of letting Jin Shichang and Ning Shiguang attack the states and counties of Yuzhou." ”

Wang Xiaolai said directly: "Go, go, you little kid know something." ”

The second stunned man was very angry at that time.

"In this way, let Ning Xi lead an army to stop Zhao Sui's reinforcements, and don't ask him to kill many people, as long as he can confuse the rebels." Wang Xiaolai thought for a while.

Xian Jingyu hesitated: "My lord, is this okay?" ”

Wang Xiaolai glanced at Xian Jingyu: "Of course it can be done, this battle, I am in line with the purpose of recovering Yuzhou, as long as there is enough delay here, I will stay in Yuzhou Those stinky fish and rotten shrimp, what kind of climate can it become, Jin Shichang and Ning Shiguang are veterans of the battlefield, if they can't even clean up these ointment children, they will live in vain, and the order will be to drag Zhao Sui's main force for at least one day, and buy enough time for the two generals of Jin Ning." ”

When Wang Xiao finished speaking, he ordered everyone to go.

···

Jin Shichang looked back at the 50,000 troops under his hand, then looked up at Zhumaguan not far away, spat into the palm of his hand, and smiled: "King Qi, I'm sorry, Zhumaguan, I'll accept it." ”

Zuo Jia, the general who was traveling with him, said: "General, the marshal said before leaving, let us fight quickly, the Long Snake Valley will not last long." ”

Hearing Jia Kang mention Wang Xiaolai, Jin Shichang was a little displeased: "I don't need you to say this, I know." ”

Jia Kang continued: "Zhumaguan is the gateway to Yuzhou, and if we are defeated, we will be able to enter the sea, toss around in Yuzhou at will, and seize more territory when the rebels do not react." ”

"Why are you talking so much nonsense, Lao Tzu has been in the army for so many years, and you still need to teach me?" Kim Shichang asked rhetorically.

Jia Kang: "···"

"Okay, inform Lao Ning and let him get ready, and in an hour, prepare to cross Zhuma Pass and enter the second county of Nanyang in Wancheng."

"Yes."

When the words fell, Jin Shichang directly turned over and jumped up on the horse, shouting again and again: "Brothers, rush!" ”

Jia Kang was stunned when he saw this, and said in his heart that the sneak attack was not this sneak attack method.

But he wanted to remind that Jin Shichang had already rushed out, and the large army was far away from the garrison at Maguan, so he let out a shout, which alarmed the defenders on the city wall.

Jin Shichang looked at all this, snorted, and sneered in his heart: "Wang Xiaolai, today, I'll let you see it, just rely on lip service, you can't win the battle." ”

He led the team to rush under the city wall, directly crossed the drawbridge, flew up and slashed the rope, and wanted to rush to the city gate.

But how could he have imagined that from the moment the rebels were alarmed, the city gate officer guarding the city wall had already ordered the city gate to be blocked, provoking Jin Shichang to hit his head all over and couldn't help it.

Comparatively speaking, the soldiers who participated in the siege could only brave the rain of arrows and rolling stones, and launched a bold attack on the city wall.

···

Far away in a dense forest behind Zhumaguan, Ning Shiguang, who looked like a Confucian general, frowned and looked at the moonlight in the sky, and couldn't help but say: "What is Lao Jin doing, why has it been so long, and I haven't seen any news that he has taken Zhumaguan." ”

Deputy General Lei Chong gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go and investigate." ”

Ning Shiguang nodded and rushed away with thunder.

For a quarter of an hour, Lei Chong turned back, and there was something wrong with the expression on his face.

Seeing this, Ning Shiguang asked him what was wrong.

Lei Chong sighed and said, "General Jin did not raid according to the plan, but attacked from the front, which caused the defenders in the pass to have time to react, and until now, they have not captured the city." ”

Ning Shiguang stomped his feet when he heard this: "Jin Shichang! You've done a great job! ”

After speaking, he hurriedly summoned the troops to leave, and Lei Chong asked what was wrong.

Ning Shiguang put on his horse and said: "Over there in the Long Snake Valley, the time given by the marshal is one day, if we can't take Wancheng and Nanyang Second County before Zhao Sui's main force returns, this battle, even if we lose, hurry, go and help Jin Shichang take Zhuma Pass and speed up." ”

Lei Chong didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly agreed, and got on the horse as well.

When he led the 50,000 troops out of the forest, Ning Shiguang went straight to Zhumaguan.

The rebels in the city only had more than 10,000 people in the headquarters led by the King of Qi, and it was a little difficult to carry Jin Shichang's attack, but now, Ning Shiguang was replaced to join in, but in two hours, under the frontal attack, Zhumaguan was declared lost, and Zhao Ren, the king of Qi, fled.

When he boarded the Marshal Mansion, Jin Shichang laughed: "What is a useless waste, sitting on such a dangerous pass for only three hours, I think the combat effectiveness of the rebels is nothing more than that." ”

Ning Shiguang didn't say a word, he hit him with a fist, and Jin Shichang, who hit him directly, vomited blood.

The latter was knocked to the ground, and looked up at Ning Shiguang in astonishment: "Old Ning, what are you doing?" ”

Ning Shiguang was furious: "You still have the face to ask me what I am doing?" The marshal ordered a quick battle, but you attacked head-on, losing nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention, are you worthy of the marshal to take risks alone and deal with the main force of the rebels! ”
