After the defeat of the forbidden army in the valley, Song Maha ordered all the officers and soldiers of the Zhennan Army in the camp to be gathered, plus the hundreds of soldiers who survived in the valley, and the soldiers of the sailor army who formed a single battalion were removed, and there were still no less than eighty or ninety thousand people under his command.

Looking at the vast crowd gathered in the camp, Song Majie temporarily settled down in his heart, but at the same time, he also secretly scolded for his bad luck, if it wasn't for the fact that he only brought a thousand horsemen with him in order to meet Jiang Kai, otherwise how could he be killed so miserably by Li Yuan, and even more in vain to fold his most trusted generals and strategists, this kind of defeat with a huge cost and falling flowers is simply a great shame.

I don't know if it's suspicious or if that's the case, from the faces of his generals and soldiers, Song Maha felt that they were all ridiculing him, but they just didn't say it, which made Song Maha hold back his anger in his heart but couldn't vent it.

The scouts sent to Taniguchi came back to report that the soldiers and horses of the forbidden army had disappeared, and the battlefield had not even been cleaned, and there seemed to be no sign of continuing the attack, and it should have withdrawn to the camp from the east. Since he has completely torn his face with the forbidden army, Song Maha immediately decided to fight against the water, in addition to surviving as a Jedi, but also to regain this face, otherwise even if he dies, he will die extremely wretchedly, leaving future generations to laugh at.

It must be known that his uncle Song Qiqiu gave him so much trust, and appointed himself with full command of the Zhennan Army where the Song family lived, if he didn't fight, how could he be worthy of his trust, he also knew that with Song Qiqiu's temper, today's recklessness and recklessness, even if he can get away with it, it is likely that he will not be able to get his trust, and the so-called broken can is not more than this.

Just after night, Song Maha gave the commander's order, the whole army moved east to seize the main road in the valley, and waited for dawn to fight to the death with the forbidden army, as soon as the words fell, the generals under him were naturally dumbfounded, and then a general jumped out to sing the opposite, that is the veteran Ma Wenmiao, who likes to point fingers with Song Maha and talk crookedly.

"Young marshal, it is naturally the best plan to seize the main road in the valley, but our army is weak, so we should stick to the location and find the opportunity, wouldn't it be self-defeating to take the initiative to attack? And look at the appearance of the brothers, after today's fiasco, the morale is low, everyone's hearts have not eased up, and they will fight again tomorrow, isn't it bad luck? ”

"Ma Wenmiao, you dare to say such words to destroy the morale of our army, increase the prestige of others, and bastard things." Song Mojie shouted angrily.

"Young marshal, what the last general said is the truth, if you do a big battle, at least let the soldiers be prepared, how can you be in such a hurry? Besides, the last general didn't destroy the morale of our army, you were the one who destroyed the morale of our army. Not only did the Jiang brothers die, but even Tian Changshi was killed in the valley, and the brothers were all panicked! It's the way it is, the young marshal is blaming others, it's really a joke. ”

Ma Wenmiao didn't care about this, and frowned and fought back.

The scar in Song Mojie's heart was ruthlessly torn apart by Ma Wenmiao, and he seemed to be able to hear the whispering laughter of his subordinates and soldiers around him, which was like a thorn piercing his heart, making him both painful and embarrassed.

"Ma Wenmiao, do you dare to talk to Ben Shuai like this?" Song Majie gritted his teeth word by word and said coldly.

Ma Wenmiao brushed his long hair and sneered: "What the last general said is the truth, the rules in the army in the south of my town are that the main general is incompetent when he loses the battle, is the last general wrong?" Not only is the last general here, even in Hongzhou Mansion, the last general in front of Wei Guogong also said the same. ”

"You...... Look for...... Die...... Is it? Song Majie's eyes had become fierce, if his eyes could be on fire, I am afraid that those eyes were already two fireballs that breathed fire at this moment.

Ma Wenmiao, who is over fifty years old, is still immersed in the pleasure of educating the younger generation, this is the rule set by Song Cheng, the father of Song Qiqiu, when he served as the deputy envoy of the Zhennan Army, the main general defeated the deputy general and the partial general can freely point out the failure, but strictly speaking, although Ma Wenmiao's words are with personal emotions, but there is nothing inappropriate, this is indeed the voice of many Zhennan Army soldiers, who were originally in a desperate situation, and today's defeat is to push everyone's hearts into the abyss.

It's a pity that Ma Wenmiao didn't take into account Song Majie's psychological state at the moment, Song Majie is now a powder keg, whoever provokes him will explode, now is an extraordinary time, and Song Mojie, as the commander, is no longer the junior who can be reprimanded at will in Hongzhou Mansion.

"Hehe, didn't the young marshal even deprive the general of the right to speak? The last general has followed Wei Guogong for more than 20 years, and although he is a deputy general, he also has the power to lead the army. These soldiers and horses are the soldiers and horses of Wei Guogong in the final analysis, young marshal, don't forget, you have not yet inherited the heir. Why threaten General Ben here? ”

"Yes, so what?!" Song Majie finally broke out completely.

With a broken drink, the long sword came out of its sheath, drawing a shining arc and slamming towards Ma Wenmiao, Ma Wenmiao didn't expect Song Maha to really make a move, a general of his level and seniority, even if he commits a capital crime, he generally has to be approved by the Duke of Wei before he can be executed, Song Maha can detain and tie him up, but he has no right to execute himself, but Song Maha has obviously forgotten these rules.

The long knife slashed, and Ma Wenmiao hurriedly turned his body sideways in an emergency, but he couldn't escape the sword. With a "poof", the long sword slashed at Ma Wenmiao's arm, unloading one of his arms straight from the shoulder socket, and falling to the ground with a click.

Ma Wenmiao screamed miserably, clutching his bleeding arms and body, and scolded loudly: "Song Mojie, you arrogant concubine, you dare to kill people seriously!" ”

Song Majie didn't say a word, the long sword swung again, there was a snap sound, Ma Wenmiao's head flew into the air, a puff of blood sprayed into a blood mist in the air, and he rolled a few times on the slope of the barren grass, facing the night sky, his eyes were wide open.

The soldiers were in an uproar, and the crowd was in a violent commotion. Song Maha raised his long sword and shouted: "Ma Wenmiao retreated from the battle, disobeyed the military order, and is now corrected. From now on, whoever dares to disobey the orders of the commander will be killed! ”

Everyone was silent, and no one dared to say more, and the original sarcastic smile turned into a look of horror.

"The generals will listen to the order and march tomorrow! Fight to the death against the Forbidden Army! Song Majie ordered in a deep voice, and the soldiers gathered into a team and immediately returned to the camp in an orderly manner under the leadership of their respective generals.

Just as Song Majie turned around and returned to the camp, a general hurried over and whispered that the entire camp of the navy army had suddenly withdrawn to the west, and the herald had not returned to the camp, as if something had happened.

Song Majie was angry in his heart, but he was already prepared in his heart, in this crisis, the Zhu family father and son were really unreliable, and I still remember that Tian Wenfeng had told him that the heart of the Zhu family father and son has always been tied to the imperial court, and it must be eradicated before the incident to prevent future troubles, but unfortunately the uncle did not listen to the advice, and insisted on winning over this famous general of the navy.

But even if the incident happened suddenly, Song Maha was not worried about losing the traces of the navy at all, when he heard that the other party was retreating all the way to the west, Song Maha was not worried about not finding them at all, because the camp of the Zhennan Army had already been clearly felt by the scouts, and the route of the retreat was very clear, and Song Maha was very familiar with the terrain in this area, and he knew that the frozen river in the west would be an insurmountable natural danger, and it was impossible for the other party to escape.

】

Therefore, Song Maha did not order to gather troops and horses to chase immediately, but gathered 10,000 elite soldiers, and waited patiently for them to eat and drink water and rest for a while.
