Wu Zhiyan and his pioneer battalion had already prepared, and as soon as Zhuo Xuanxin's military order arrived, the vanguard battalion had already completed the whole team and set off for troops in less than half a moment. Unlike the two phalanxes of temporary armies composed of people from the rivers and lakes, the military discipline of the pioneer battalion was strict and every soldier was well-trained.

However, General Wu Zhiyan was not a person who was happy about his achievements, and what he was thinking about was how to coordinate the pace with the armies on the left and right flanks, so that he could form a joint attack on the army in the Central Plains at that time.

At such a fast pace, it didn't take long for the troops of the vanguard battalion to march past the camp where the enemy's former army had been stationed.

"It can be seen that they are in a hurry, and many tents have not yet been collected," Wu Zhiyan said, "Let the whole army speed up the march again." ”

At the sound of the order, the whole army was like a body, and the pace gradually increased and moved forward.

It didn't take much time, and the fires were already sporadically visible hundreds of miles away, and the front army of the Central Plains was not far from ten.

Wu Zhiyan summoned a deputy general and asked, "Where are our two wings of troops now?"

"General Hui, I just came to report that the left army is two miles in front of me, and the right army is one mile ahead. ”

"Okay, so we can arrive together, and we will be able to see the ...... tonight" Wu Zhiyan had just finished speaking, when he suddenly felt that his vision was blurred, and the light and fire that could have been glimpsed with the naked eye seemed to be covered with a thick fog and became looming.

"General!

In an instant, Wu Zhiyan felt countless grains of sand passing across his face, and his army was submerged in the yellow sand in the blink of an eye.

"Damn! How can you catch up with this time!" Wu Zhiyan is not the first time to face a sandstorm, he knows that if he marches like this, it will do more harm than good, "The whole army stopped, put on masks, hid behind horses, and waited for the sandstorm to retreat!"

However, even though Wu Zhiyan has lived here for most of his life, he has never seen such a large and violent sandstorm, and it is without warning.

A whole group of military horses formed a group of seven or eight to avoid behind the horses, quietly waiting for the sandstorm to recede.

A herald squatted all the way to the front of the army and found Wu Zhiyan: "General, the adults who are with the army in the Star Tower have asked to see the general." ”

Wu Zhiyan nodded, opened his eyes slightly and saw the woman behind the herald: "Girl, what's the matter?"

"Master Wu..."The woman wore a windbreaker, covering only two eyes, but because the wind and sand were too strong, she kept her eyelids open, "This sandstorm is not normal, and there is a lot of derivation in it. ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhiyan felt a stirring in his heart, "Artificial?"

"Yes, and in terms of scope, it is only looming over our army. ”

"I guess it's a ploy by the enemy to retreat," the adjutant general covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and said, "It's a pity that there is no one in our army who can set up the barrier, so we have to watch the group of dogs escape." ”

Wu Zhiyan didn't regret that he couldn't catch up with the enemy at this time, he turned his eyes to look at the woman in the Star Tower: "Ben will ask you, what you said is only to envelop us, have the armies on the left and right flanks suffered from this sandstorm?"

The woman shook her head: "No, their strength is still moving forward." ”

Wu Zhiyan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What about the enemy army?"

"We're almost at the border. ”

"General don't worry, there are also people in these two wings who have the ability to perceive derivation," the adjutant general knew what Wu Zhiyan was worried about, and hurriedly persuaded, "They must have known what we have encountered here, and the generals who lead the army will also garrison the army to wait for our situation to improve." ”

"Expect so, otherwise it will be disconnected, and the consequences will be unimaginable......" Wu Zhiyan had no other way at the moment.

**

Wu Zhiyan's adjutant general was half right, and the people in the two wings of the army who sensed the strength of Yan were indeed aware of the situation on their side.

However, they invariably did not report to the generals of their own camp.

Because they are full of confidence in their own abilities, and the people in this pioneer camp are only guys who come to steal merit and add to their talents.

"This is the will of God, the previous exploits are our achievements, God is not letting the group of guys in the pioneer battalion wait for work, pinch this soft persimmon," one of the left wing army laughed, "Now our opponent is only the group of guys on the right!"

"Those guys didn't stop either, and it seems that they were on the same page as us. ”

"I don't say this, will the general blame him in the future?" The person with the perceptual derivation force suddenly felt a little weak.

"What are you afraid of, as long as you win, who the will have time to hold you accountable," the other man said with relief, "Besides, you don't mean that the group on the right hasn't stopped, it's because we're afraid that we'll have a good time first, and they'll have no meat to eat later!"

"Yes, yes, yes, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again!" The people around him quickly chimed in, "Let's fight this battle first!"

As the minutes passed, they were getting closer and closer to the army in the Central Plains.

Just when everyone was holding their breath and preparing to make a big move, the person with perceptual power suddenly panicked: "It's wrong!

He roared loudly as he ran towards the leading general: "Your Excellency, General! A large wave of derivative forces suddenly appeared behind us!

"How many are there, and how far?" asked the leading general, unhurriedly.

"Four or five hundred people, about ten miles!"

"Lao Tzu also said how many people, only four or five hundred, afraid of a request," the person standing next to him mocked, "If you come to die, we will beat them first!"

"The whole army turns around, with the tail as the head, and the head as the tail," the general ordered, "Do a good job of defense and be ready for battle!"

As soon as he finished saying this, the person who sensed the force shouted again: "General, the two sides of the opposing army's front army are also attacking us!"

At this moment, the surrounding people felt a little nervous, and they all looked at the generals who led the army.

"Don't panic, we are advancing in three directions, and the other party is trying to counter and encircle us," the general soothed, "Chuan Ben will order, the whole army will retreat to the center and join the vanguard battalion!"

Far from the battle line.

Xufeng Zhuofeng left the country of Ma Si with his two followers.

Along the way, the two followers didn't dare to speak, Xufeng Zhuofeng didn't speak, and the three of them buried their heads in the road, wanting to quickly get out of this place of right and wrong.

It wasn't until he entered the border of the Central Plains, dozens of miles away from the border, that the eldest prince decided to stop and rest.

"This scares me..."For the sake of prudence, the eldest prince didn't even go to the official station, but found a mountain and wilderness to live temporarily, "Xufeng Chenhui still dares to look down on me, wants to punish my heart, I'm not so fragile, when I return to Beijing to regain my strength, I will kill him!"

"There is a saying that open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, we are above board, we are afraid of the sinister villain of the third prince who is making trouble behind his back," a follower slandered him, "The prince is right, we can't let this kind of villain succeed, the more he feels that the prince has lost, we have to make a comeback to show him." ”

"Well said!" Xufeng Zhuofeng was very happy to hear this, "He doesn't take me seriously, I have to let him know that he is actually not a serious matter!

Xufeng Zhuofeng spoke vigorously in the room, but he didn't know that in the room across his wall, there was a person who had been listening quietly. From the time they left the barracks to the point here, this man had been watching the three of them from behind.
