"Little... Mr. Wang, why haven't you come yet? Fan Jun's patience was about to run out, so he walked under a big tree and looked up and asked.

Wang Xuan sat on the tree, gnawed on the wild fruit in his mouth, and stared at the official in the distance without blinking: "If you come, you will definitely come, Brother Fan, don't be impatient." You must know that we are now called waiting for work in the art of war, if we are impatient and waste ourselves first, then the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"I don't understand the art of war, I really can't wait!" The weather was hot, Fan Jun was anxious and dry, scratching his ears and cheeks and feeling itchy all over his body.

Zheng Kang dragged Fan Jun, the two have been familiar with each other since Donglu fell into bandits, Fan Jun is so impatient now, only Zheng Kang dares to stop and persuade him.

Qin Xiangqian didn't care about the restlessness of a few people, and he couldn't fight the enemy with Yi Xiaodao, and he was actually a little sulky in his heart. But since Yi Xiaodao entrusted Wang Xuan to him, now Wang Xuan's safety is the first priority, and Qin Xiangqian has no other thoughts.

"Hey, it looks like it's coming!" A soldier of the battalion had excellent eyesight, and he saw Chu Xiang's soldiers and horses on the official road from afar.

When Wang Xuan heard this, he didn't look at it, and immediately slowly climbed down from the tree, and Qin moved three steps and walked over in two steps, stepped on the tree, and took Wang Xuan down.

Wang Xuan nodded in greeting and said, "Everyone, listen to my orders and retreat three miles back into the forest!" ”

"It's finally here, and you still have to retreat three miles?" Fan Jun's eyes widened.

Wang Xuan explained: "If we fight with them now, then ambush here will not be of any use. They will definitely send spies to investigate the road, and we will retreat three miles first, and then come back quietly when they have passed. When the time comes, as long as they hold on to this important road, they will not be able to fly. ”

Fan Jun is a big old man, but he is not brainless, listening to what Wang Xuan said, he pulled Wang Xuan over, pulled him up on one leg and went deep into the woods. In the end, it was one leg, Wang Xuan was upturned twice and lost his breath: "Can't you change your legs..."

10,000 soldiers from the Shangwu battalion and 5,000 soldiers from the waving battalion quietly retreated to the depths of the dense forest. This is the extension of Tianzhu Mountain, and the road is extremely difficult. It's also thanks to them who have been here for nearly two years, and if they are an ordinary army, it will take an hour to travel a mile.

The soldiers and horses of the Chu Xiang army are getting closer, and there are indeed many spies who follow the route of the Chu Xiang army and investigate first. But the place where Wang Xuan and the others stayed was too difficult, the trees were dense, and in the hot summer, the spies didn't look closely, and walked straight by. If you look closely, the footprints of that place will inevitably be exposed, and the hot weather can be regarded as God's help.

Halfway through the march of Chu Xiang's army, he suddenly stopped, Xiang Liangyu was cautious, he was in the middle army, not in the forefront, and asked, "What's going on in front?" Why don't you go? ”

"General Shen said that the road ahead was steep, and he suspected that there was an ambush, so he ordered to report back to the general, suspend the march, and go to the sentry first." The herald ascertained the situation and returned to report it.

Xiang Liangyu nodded: "Well, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship." Can there be conditions on both sides of the road? ”

"The spies reported that no anomalies were found."

"Tell everyone to check it out, check it carefully! There must not be the slightest slip of the beat. Mountains, streams, valleys, cities, forests and other places are all places where soldiers can be ambushed, and they can't be let go! Xiang Liangyu reminded repeatedly.

"Obey the general's orders!" The herald was ordered to retreat.

A woman walked out of the military formation, her clothes were dirty, her shoulders, legs, and belly were all exposed, but there was an obvious scar on her white belly, which made people feel a little frightened. This person is none other than Chu Hong, one of the four beggar gang protector elders who surrounded and suppressed Li Yaoyang three years ago.

"I said to the general, you're too cautious, aren't you? It's only been three times in twenty miles, so when we arrive, I'm afraid we won't have anything to do, right? Chu Hong said lazily.

Xiang Liangyu glanced at Chu Hong, he looked down on these called Huazi from the bottom of his heart, but the prince was heavy, and he couldn't do anything: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, if you don't make all the plans, you can't regret it." ”

"General Xiang, you should follow His Royal Highness the Prince, he can't afford to lose. If I change my beggars to help my disciples here, let alone Wancheng now, even Wucheng has already been taken. Chu Hong's voice was a sarcasm that couldn't be hidden.

Xiang Liangyu didn't bother to pay attention to her, how could it be child's play to march and fight? Let her say that she is in a daze, and the military power is in her own hands, what can she do?

Chu Hong was bored with herself, so she had to wait patiently aside, and after a while, there was no movement in front of her, so she couldn't help but say, "Why don't you send me to explore the way to the general?" As soon as I got out of the horse, I would find out if there were any ambushes. ”

"You?" Xiang Liangyu looked at Chu Hong, smiled lightly, and did not respond.

Chu Hong's eyes widened, as if he was in a hurry: "General Xiang, don't look down on people, I'm the best protector elder in the beggar gang." Like what... There may be ambushes here, if the ambushes come out, they will cut off our army..."Chu Hong and Xiang Liangyu were just bored when they spoke, and at this time, they pointed at the woods next to the road at random.

Xiang Liangyu followed her fingers, and the grass under the forest was all lying down, and many of them were broken and flattened, as if there were signs of a large group of people and horses.

This is exactly where Wang Xuan and the others stayed just now!

Xiang Liangyu was about to turn his horse over to take a closer look, when suddenly the herald came: "Report!" The Feather Forest Army was found ahead! Lots of people, rambling! ”

Xiang Liangyu didn't care about looking at the grass, so he immediately turned his horse back and ordered: "Order Shen Jie to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to meet the enemy, and I will lead the army to come later!" ”

"Yes!" The herald left in a hurry and headed for the herald.

Chu Hong was excited when she heard this: "What are you waiting for?" Let's go. ”

Xiang Liangyu didn't leave immediately, but asked Chu Hong rhetorically: "Are they ready?" ”

Chu Hong patted his chest: "Don't worry, except for Elder Gu, the three Dharma Protector Elders who took me are all in the army, so it's foolproof!" ”

"I'm asking about the Kirin Bow." Xiang Liangyu didn't give her face at all.

Chu Hong's face was already red from the sun, and she didn't know if she blushed again when she heard this, and said lightly: "A hundred unicorn bows, the general just rest assured." ”

Ge Cifeng allocated a hundred Qilin Bow Dead Soldiers to the North Road, along with two Dharma Protector Elders, all of whom were dispatched by Chu Hong. There is no other reason than because she is a woman. On the battlefield, once the fight starts, the soldiers cannot find the generals, and the situation of not being able to find the soldiers abounds. Moreover, these Qilin bow dead soldiers are all strong in martial arts, and in their eyes, those wearing armor all look the same.

Chu Hong is a woman, and people who practice martial arts can find her at a glance in the crowded battlefield, which is why Ge Cifeng handed over the right to dispatch to Chu Hong.

Hearing Chu Hong's affirmative answer, Xiang Liangyu was relieved: "Let's go!" "Pat the horse and lead the team forward.

After walking a short distance, Xiang Liangyu glanced back at the compacted grass, and hurriedly summoned a general.

"Second uncle!" The person who came was Xiang Liangyu's nephew, Xiang Qi.

Xiang Liangyu frowned, he was quite unhappy to hear the title of "second uncle" in the army, but this is not the time to correct this: "Qi'er, 20,000 rear troops and horses will be commanded by you, and you will be able to distance yourself from the army." Don't deal with the army without my orders! I'm worried that there's an ambush in the rear, you need to be careful! ”

Xiang Qi nodded: "Second uncle, don't worry, nephew knows." ”

Xiang Liangyu nodded, among the many nephews and nephews, only this Xiang Qi is the most like himself, cautious by nature, but unfortunately he is a little bit of Mu Ne, he is honest for the general, and he is either bullied by soldiers or bullied by the enemy.

"Report! Xiang General, General Shen is under siege, please ask General Xiang for quick rescue! The herald hurried to herald again.

Xiang Liangyu was shocked when he heard this, and after carefully verifying the identity of the herald, he confirmed that the military situation was correct, and immediately patted his horse: "The three armies listen to the order and gallop to the aid of General Shen!" ”

This Shen Jie is no one else, if you talk about the seniority on the surface, Ge Cifeng has to call him a brother-in-law. He is the younger brother of Ge Cifeng's concubine, and after Ge Cifeng learned about the scandal in his family, he became estranged from the Shen family a lot, but only for this brother-in-law, the relationship is still as eager as ever. Not for anything else, because he can fight!

How capable is fighting, Chu Xiang once had a rumor that this General Shen once went into the mountains alone and killed more than a thousand bandits with his bare hands! Even the rumors of whether the bandits were strangled or beaten to death have noses and eyes. Chu Xiang went up and down, talking about Shen's color change, and what the people were most afraid of was this General Shen.

Xiang Liangyu is an ordinary general friend of this Shen Jie, and he can't talk about how good or bad the relationship is, but he has a headache for this Shen Jie. His Royal Highness's brother-in-law, but he can fight, is it appropriate for such a person to be a pioneer or to protect in the Chinese army? Later, it was Shen Jie who invited himself to be the pioneer, and Ge Cifeng personally agreed, which solved Xiang Liangyu's problem.

On Shen Jie's side, it was Zhang Yu's 30,000 Yulin army that surrounded him, as well as Xiao Kuan and his 3,000 soldiers and horses who were watching the battle.

Zhang Yu pressed the reins and ordered the Yulin army to besiege Shen Jie without attacking, erecting a strong shield and pointing a spear at the five thousand Chu Xiang troops in the array. Shen Jie also tried to lead troops to break through, but several breakthroughs were unsuccessful, if it weren't for the soldiers around him who sacrificed their lives to save him, Shen Jie would have died several times.

"Brother-in-law... Brother-in-law, where are you..."Shen Jie looked at the spears around him that were as dense as a forest, and his heart began to panic.

"Wait for Xiang Liangyu to bring someone here, I will definitely break the siege and save people, and when that time comes, you will lead the troops to bypass from the side, and I can only send you here." In the future, take care of yourself! Zhang Yu said to Xiao Kuan on the side.

Xiao Kuan was like a child who hadn't grown up, and grinned: "Such a good plan, General Zhang bothered, great kindness, Xiao Kuan and write it down!" He will repay him every day! ”

Zhang Yu waved his hand: "They all serve His Majesty, how can there be any great kindness." You... Shape up or ship out. ”

While the two were talking, Xiang Liangyu had already arrived with his troops, this was an open area, and the surroundings were unobstructed, and only reinforcements from behind the two sides could come, and there could be no ambush.

Xiang Liangyu was a little relieved, and waved his sword: "The whole army charges!" Save General Shen! ”
