Chapter 106: Another sneak attack
Thousands of war horses galloped, the earth trembled, and the white horse was like a gust of wind, swept through the vast land of Youzhou. Their momentum fused into one, and their military qi turned into a white dragon. The white dragon soared in the air, its aggressive horns pointing north.
Mark has returned to Anping, and the broken army and others stationed in several other cities have also been recalled by him. By this time, Anping had gathered an army of 12,000 men. These armies are like a giant beast, quietly dormant, waiting for Gongsun Chan to arrive.
"Lord, our scouts have been dispatched, and if nothing else, we should be able to get news of Gongsun Chan today." Broken Jun walked in wearing heavy armor, and as soon as he moved, the armor made a metallic crashing sound, and the sound echoed in the temple, very clearly.
"Are our cavalry ready?" Mark asked.
Seven Kills said: "It's ready." Although our cavalry training time was short, stirrups and saddles almost made up for the gap between us and the white horse. Our war horses also have advantages, in terms of explosiveness and strength, even the good horses of the grassland can't compare! In this battle, I have enough confidence! ”
Mark nodded, the strength of the Seven Kills had reached the middle of the third level, and at the same time, his hair was half white. In terms of strength alone, Seven Kills is no longer inferior to Gongsun Zhan.
"When fighting, you have to pay special attention to avoid the young general from last time!" Thinking of Zhao Yun, Mark specially admonished, he had no doubt that even if his five subordinates broke out, they would definitely not be Zhao Yun's opponents.
Po Jun and the others thought of the young man who picked off five of them with one shot, and they were a little unconvinced. Still, they answered.
In the afternoon, the scouts did send back the news that Gongsun Zhan's cavalry had stopped on the other side of the Baishui River.
Mark made a quick decision and led his corporal out of Anping and headed towards the Baishui River. The Baishui River was fifty miles from Anping, and it took only a quarter of an hour for the Seven Kills and the cavalry to arrive. More than an hour later, Mark followed with a large army.
"Let's just use this as a battlefield." Mark ordered his men to camp along the river, while he himself climbed the hill to observe the situation of Gongsun Chan on the other side of the river. At this time, Gongsun Chan was also observing Mark. The two looked at each other more than ten miles apart, Gongsun Zhan's eyes were full of murderous energy, and Mark was sneering.
"My lord, Mark is camping in formation on the opposite side of the Baishui River, obviously wanting to wait for our army to cross the river and attack halfway, I suggest that the army retreat and make a detour to attack the belt side." Gongsun Zhan's subordinate general Yan Gang suggested.
Gongsun Zhan shook his head: "The Baishui River, the water surface is only a few tens of meters, how can I stop the white horse from obeying?" I sent troops this time to capture and kill the demon Dao Mark, kill him, and take Fang and other counties to pass the word can be determined. ”
Yan Gang listened to Gongsun Zhan's words and didn't say anything more.
"Lord, Gongsun Chan is not moving, what should we do?" Breaking the military road.
"Wait, Gongsun Chan will act soon." Mark Dao, he could already see that the blood color appeared on Gongsun Zhan's qi number, and this blood color was a sign of danger. Thinking of the history of his previous life, Gongsun Zhan's character has obvious flaws, he is stubborn and self-serving, and the more he loses, the more arrogant he becomes. I'm afraid that the last defeat in Anping not only did not teach Gongsun Chan a lesson, but made him more impatient.
As night fell, neither side moved, and the smoke of the barracks on Mark's side had risen. The fragrance of the wood giant fruit wafted to the other side of the river, making Gongsun Zhan's Bai Ma Yicong secretly swallow his saliva.
"It smells so good......"
"I heard that this is the divine fruit of the Supreme God Sect, which can grow from the ground, and one acre of land can grow 20,000 catties!"
"I have fellow villagers who came to Anping, they all divided the land, and ate the divine fruit at every meal, if I hadn't been a soldier, I would definitely have taken my family to Anping."
In the Gongsun Zhan camp, several soldiers whispered, compared to the coarse grains in their hands that were difficult to swallow, the wood giant fruit they ate was definitely delicious!
Gongsun Chan had heard of these discussions, but he didn't care. Gongsun Chan believed in the loyalty of his soldiers, and at the same time, he also had expectations in his heart that if he could capture Mark alive and take Anping, then Mu Juguo would be his own. With this, not to mention dominating the north, there is no problem in fighting for the Central Plains!
Night, quietly, Gongsun Chan was in the camp tent thinking about tomorrow's battle. He planned to cross the river early tomorrow morning, defeat Anping as soon as possible, and get the wood giant fruit.
Mark side.
"Are all the soldiers ready?" Mark looked at the soldiers lined up in the darkness, and his mood was stirred.
"Lord, everything is ready, you can give the order!" Po Jun and the others patted the armor on their chests and said.
"Good! Seven kills, you lead the cavalry to prepare, once you cross the river, immediately rush into the Gongsun Chan camp and disturb the other party! Mark Lang said, "If you meet Zhao Yun, avoid it immediately, don't entangle with him!" ”
Seven Kills was a little unconvinced: "Lord, no matter how powerful Zhao Yun is, can he still block my 1,000 cavalry?" ”
"Maybe he really could!" Mark said solemnly, "Do what I say!" Our goal is Gongsun Zhan, don't lose the big because of the small! ”
"Yes!"
With everything ready, Mark came to the Whitewater River. It's December, and the nights in the north are cold, and the ground is already frosty.
"Gongsun Zhan, I'm afraid you never thought that I would raid at this time!"
Mark smiled coldly, his powerful spiritual power dispersed, and white frost appeared in the river of white water. It didn't take long for the Baishui River to freeze, and the ice became thicker and thicker, and in a quarter of an hour, a solid ice bridge appeared on the surface of the river.
"That's it." Mark looked at the thickness of the ice and nodded, "Seven kills, go ahead!" ”
Seven Kills rode a black steed and stepped on the ice first. The Baishui River is only a few tens of meters wide, and the horses rise and fall in a few before reaching the other side of the river. After seven kills, the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded, and one cavalry after another crossed the river first.
"My lord, we're off too!" Breaking Jun clenched his fist at Mark and brandished his broadsword onto the ice.
"What sound?" When the Seven Kills led the cavalry to approach the Gongsun Zhan camp, the general in charge of the guard was shocked. At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the moonlight and starlight could not be penetrated at all, and it was pitch black all around.
"Could it be that the Anping army stole the camp?" The general suddenly got on his horse and sent people to check on the distance, but after waiting for a while, the people he sent did not come back at all. The general realizes that something must have changed.
"Hurry up and tell the general!" The partial general said to his own soldiers.
"Boom Boom ......" Seven Kills galloped with the cavalry, Gongsun Zhan's camp was already in sight, and it only took a dozen seconds for them to rush in.
"Enemy attack!" The general shouted loudly, the cymbals in the camp were loud, and the drums shook the sky!
Gongsun Chan hurriedly ran out of the tent and happened to run into Yan Gang.
"What happened?" Gongsun Chan asked.
Yan Gang said anxiously: "The Anping army has quietly crossed the Baishui River somehow, and has already entered our camp!" ”
Gongsun Zhan was anxious and angry: "Immediately send an order down and let the soldiers assemble." This time I'm going to have to keep Mark coming and going! ”
