You chased and fled, and both sides quickly entered the depths of the forest.

The further in, the more difficult the march became, and Mu Qianmei couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw that most of the soldiers were ragged and exhausted.

But when I thought of the pursuers behind me, they might be caught up at any time, and I had to cheer up and support me hard.

And the pursuers in the back are actually very uncomfortable, the people in front are haunted, and they set some traps or obstacles for them anytime and anywhere, such as falling stones from trees, trees crossing the road, poisonous snakes in the grass, and poisonous bees in the holes.

These obstacles greatly affected the speed of their catch-up.

They were also helpless and terrified in pursuit, but because the military order was like a mountain, they had to obey.

Finally, the sun slowly set.

In the sunset, the woods suddenly became extremely dark, and the trees were dense and did not dare to light a fire for fear of causing a fire.

Mu Qianmei immediately gathered the personnel of the other teams together through secret contact.

The pursuers came to a relatively wide flat ground, and after a little tidying up, they stopped and began to set up their tents, apparently preparing to rest on this place as a camp.

After Mu Qianmei inquired, she continued to walk seven or eight miles before giving the order to stop and rest the troops.

In this way, they were separated from the enemy by more than 20 miles, and they were much more relieved to set up camp.

Fortunately, they all had enough dry food and water, everyone set up simple tents, ate some dry food with water, and arranged for people to take turns to stand guard, and then hurriedly rested in their clothes.

However, there were so many mosquitoes in the mountains that the soldiers could not sleep at all.

A man-mosquito war is inevitable.

The mosquitoes in the mountains are better than the outside, and the place where they bite is a red and swollen bag for a while.

Mu Qianmei recalled some common sense in the past, and remembered that some people said that when camping in the wild, burning mugwort leaves, artemisia annua, cypress leaves, wild chrysanthemums, etc. can repel mosquitoes.

So they ordered people to look around, and except for the wild chrysanthemum, which was not available in this season, the other three really let them all find it.

They found some dry firewood, carefully cleaned the ground to prevent it from spreading, and then began to burn the fire, and then put the mugwort leaves, artemisia annua and cypress leaves they found on the fire.

Suddenly, a unique fragrance wafted through the mountains.

It is said that it is a fragrance, but in fact, the smell is still a little weird, it doesn't smell good, and some people are not used to it, so they can't help frowning.

However, the effect is still obvious, and after only a while, the mosquitoes disappeared without a trace.

Therefore, people who don't like this burning smell would rather get used to it slowly than fight mosquitoes again.

Except for the soldiers who took turns to stand guard, the other soldiers all fell asleep peacefully.

The exhausted body finally got a good rest and recovery.

And the pursuers who followed closely behind them, that is, Zhang Xiaoting's troops, were not so lucky.

The enemy did not catch up, but on this night, in the battle with the mosquitoes in the mountains, all the big bags covered with red and swollen were not lost to the enemy, but first lost to these large numbers of small lives.

Persisted until the early hours of the morning, everyone really couldn't hold on, so they wrapped almost the whole body with clothes, but the effect was not good, and mosquitoes could bite the skin through clothes.

The mosquitoes in this mountain are too bad.

Finally, the leader of the troops gave an order:

"Keep going, you won't be able to sleep well anyway, it's better to go forward, take advantage of the middle of the night, sneak attack them, and have a good fight."

So, the soldiers cheered up again, and kept swatting the mosquitoes and yawning, and continued to walk listlessly.

With the sound of "crackling", the soldiers walked forward tiredly.

This look, not like going to a sneak attack and fighting, but like a group of starving ghosts from hell, looking weird and sluggish, as if even the weapons in their hands will drop at any time

Target.

It made the chief's heart feel depressed.

How can you sneak up on this? In case you encounter an enemy, it is not the end of being slaughtered?

However, the military order had already been issued, and it could not be changed at will, so we had no choice but to move forward.

"Maybe when they come to the battlefield and their lives are at stake, they will inspire a strong spirit in order to live!"

The leader thought to himself.

On the other side, Mu Qianmei's camp.

Just after the ugly hour, a soldier went to Chaolu's tent to report:

"Report to the general that the enemy is approaching where we are stationed, and it is only about five miles away from us."

"So early! Don't they rest at night? ”

Chaolu woke up from his sleep in a daze and asked strangely.

Then he laughed and said:

"They must have no way to get rid of mosquitoes, they can't sleep at all, that's why they rushed to chase them overnight."

"A group of tired divisions, what's the use of having more people, everyone hurry up, let's prepare and ambush the enemy!"

Chaolu's laughter also woke up Mu Qianmei, Tana, Liu Tingfeng and the military advisor not far from his tent.

They all got up and rushed over immediately, and after hearing the report, Mu Qianmei said cautiously:

"Although it is a tired division, but after all, there are many people, and their army of nearly 100,000 is still something we can't contend with, I suggest, let's continue to move forward for a while!"

"Yes, it's still the princess who is thoughtful, it's me who underestimated the enemy and was reckless."

Chaolu immediately said apologetically.

"Uncle Chao's analysis is actually correct, it's just that we can't afford to be injured, if the reinforcements can arrive in time, we have to fight back, and we also have a great advantage."

When the team was assembled and ready to leave, another soldier came to report:

"The enemy is already rapidly withdrawing."

"What? A quick evacuation? What a trick they're playing! ”

Chaolu was confused again.

Everyone habitually looked at Mu Qianmei, as if even if everyone didn't understand, she must understand.

Mu Qianmei was also very strange for a while, how could an army of nearly 100,000 retreat when she said to retreat?

Unless something unexpected happens outside.

What accidents will happen out there?

Unless our reinforcements arrive in advance.

Thinking of this, Mu Qianmei said excitedly:

"I guess it should have been our reinforcements who arrived in advance, and the battle situation outside was critical, so we ordered to withdraw to the rescue."

Everyone was excited when they heard this conjecture, and after a night of recuperation, everyone's spirits recovered very well, and when they heard that reinforcements had arrived, it was even more exciting.

"Kill back!"

Chao Lu said fiercely.

Hearing Chaolu's voice, the soldiers immediately echoed and said loudly:

"Kill back! Kill back! ”

The 15,000 people shouted in unison, which was also very imposing.

Although some soldiers accidentally touched the redness and swelling on their faces that were bitten by mosquitoes during the shouting, they still gritted their teeth and insisted on shouting.

Full of excitement, full of murderous energy, full of confidence.

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Mu Qianmei finally nodded slowly and said:

"Okay, let's go back and give them a terrible kill from behind. However, we still adhere to the principle of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and we advance; once they are ready to strike back in an all-round way, we must avoid their sharp edge and refrain from fighting hard. ”

Chaolu's chubby face finally showed a happy smile at this time, and he ordered loudly:

"Queue, go!"

This time it was reversed, and the pursuer became the one being chased.

At the foot of the Yunlong Mountain Range, a fierce battle was raging at this time, and it was indeed Zhuang Shujun's 100,000 troops who arrived in time.

As soon as they arrived, they saw that the enemy troops stationed at the foot of the Yunlong Mountain Range had already lit torches and stood in a neat formation, looking like they were ready to fight.

Zhuang Shujun saw that there were only about 100,000 people on the other side, and knew that Mu Qianmei's situation must be very dangerous.

Half of the army must have gone to the forest to pursue Mu Qianmei and them.

Because Zhuang Shujun's troops were marching in a hurry overnight, they arrived in advance.

Zhang Xiaoting only knew an hour ago that the other party's reinforcements were about to arrive, so he hurriedly made some preparations.

While transferring the soldiers from the mountain down the mountain, he sent someone to inform the troops who had pursued into the mountain to withdraw immediately.

As soon as this side was ready, the other party's 100,000 army arrived in a mighty manner.

The two armies faced each other.

Both sides were 100,000 troops.

Both are young and handsome genius generals.

Who is better?

The two looked at each other for a while, and suddenly waved their hands in unison and ordered:

"Kill!"

The cavalry on both sides was at the front, and they rushed forward with their horses.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.

However, both sides were evenly matched.

At the moment of the confrontation, the battle was evenly matched.

Zhang Xiaoting and Zhuang Shujun both rode horses in the rear of the army, watching the battle from a distance.

Wherever there is any change in the battle situation, he will command and adjust it at any time.

Orders kept on coming.

After an hour of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

This is a frontal war, and there is no half-trickery.

One side is in a hurry to save people.

One side was determined to stop it.

There is no one to give into, only one battle.

The two generals looked at the war in front of them coldly, their expressions were calm, and with the development of the battle situation, the two of them were equally calm and calm in adjusting and scheduling personnel, and they were very orderly.

No one dared to be careless.

The names of the people and the shadows of the trees, although they are facing each other for the first time, they have been friends for a long time.

Occasionally, they would look at each other's location, no hatred, no anger, and some of them turned out to be a kind of sympathetic appreciation.

Yes, they are strikingly similar to the adjustments and responses that the other side makes at any time in the war as if they have rehearsed them in advance.

Just like two chess players, although it is the first time to play chess, but the move and the move are very fast, you attack and I block, I attack you block, back and forth scheduling, attack and defense are the best plan.

Every head-to-head fight is a tragic fight, without fancy or falsehood.

No one took advantage of it.

If we continue to fight like this, we will inevitably lose both sides.

Both of them frowned at the same time.

Who wants to fight a war without victory?

However, in this way, there is no winner in the end, because in the battle, it is like playing chess, changing, changing horses for horses, and so on, and in the end, there are only two main generals left.

They're all trying to figure it out.

But they all showed a disappointed look helplessly.

In this case, it is impossible to withdraw, and the party that orders the withdrawal first is bound to be at a disadvantage.

There is only one solution, and that is to see whose reinforcements arrive first.

Whoever arrives first will win the battle.
