"Tigers? Dozens?! ”

Not only was it released, but even Wang Zhutou, who was helping to carry the grain, was shocked.

Where did the warlock find in this Yan Country, who was able to mobilize dozens of fierce tigers into the battlefield to fight.

General Xiao's martial arts were praised by everyone in Fengcheng, and if he could only kill two tigers with the help of his soldiers, then the remaining dozens could indeed besiege the Xiao family army to death.

Wang Zhutou's face was pale, and as the head of the county government, in addition to maintaining local law and order, he was naturally also concerned about the border war.

If General Xiao was really seriously injured or died on the battlefield, then Fengcheng would immediately fall into the pocket of the Yan State.

In the next step, the Yan Kingdom followed the teared opening of Fengcheng and let its army drive straight in, constantly invading other parts of the Mexican Kingdom.

"Boss, the situation is not right, should we go back first?" Zhukuai, who was following Wang Zhutou's side, asked.

If Xiao Jiajun misses, then the county commander Liu Zifeng will immediately make a decision to protect the city.

It is a way out for the people to survive.

It was still a battle, swearing to defend Fengcheng until reinforcements from the capital arrived.

"Xiao Ding's legs are fast, let him report to Lord Liu." After thinking about it, Wang Zhutou continued, "Don't say those alarmist words, just say that the war is tight, please Lord Liu be prepared to deal with it." ”

"The rest of the people stay, if General Xiao dies in battle, we will immediately return to the county government to prepare for defending the city."

"Yes!"

made a decision, Xiao Ding Fei walked out of the barracks, took a horse from the carriage and headed towards Fengcheng.

"General Meng, please quickly lead the troops to rescue the general!"

The soldier who reported the news was pale with excessive blood loss, and he was half-kneeling on the ground with his hands clenched into fists, and with the last of his strength he begged Meng to be released.

"How many troops are left in the army?"

Meng Fang frowned tightly, and asked the familiar lieutenant general beside him, "Is there 30,000 people?" ”

The other shook his head.

"Yan Guo brought an army of 300,000 to suddenly press the border this time, and the general counted all the soldiers who could go to the battlefield before setting off, and now there are only the firehead army, wounded soldiers, and Yuan Baihu's men and horses left in the camp."

This news made everyone's faces even worse, and Meng Fang was stunned when he heard it, and hurriedly asked, "Yuan Baihu Chief, but Yuan Tian?" ”

"Exactly."

This time Meng Fang has even more headaches.

This Yuan Tian was originally a person from Beijing, and after joining the army, he was transferred to the border for some reason to join the Xiao family's army, but he relied on his backers in Beijing and was a slick and sophisticated person, and he was soon promoted to the head of a hundred households.

The general and Meng Fang didn't care about Yuan Tian's background and personality, but in a battle two years ago, he suddenly led his men to withdraw from the battlefield without a military order.

This also led to dozens of serious injuries for no reason in a situation that should have been a big win.

The general was furious, but there was nothing he could do about Yuan Tian.

had to put him, the head of a hundred households, in the army and let him fish and have fun, and he would never be used from now on.

At that time, Meng Fang thought that Yuan Tian would be dissatisfied with the general's differential treatment, and looked for an opportunity to complain to the nobles in Beijing.

But I never thought that this guy would be content with the status quo, and he still mixed up in the barracks every day, either fishing and catching birds or finding an excuse to hang out in the nearby county town.

He looks like a slick prodigal son.

The general released him and did not do military affairs, thinking about incorporating the hundred people under his command into the other hundred households.

But who would have thought that this group of people would be extremely supportive of Yuan Tian and extremely loyal, and they would not want to go elsewhere at all.

In desperation, the general acquiesced to Yuan Tian and his subordinates operating in the army semi-freely, and over time they also became dispensable marginal people in the army.

Since then, the general has never taken him or his men into battle on any of his expeditions over the years.

Thinking of the past, the face of the mask revealed this embarrassment.

"General Meng, maybe ......"

Wang Zhutou heard that there was no one in the army, and he couldn't help but become anxious, he lowered his voice and said in Mengfang's ear, "Why don't we find the little lady, maybe she can help." ”

The warlock of the Yan Kingdom controlled the tiger, and the little lady of our Xiao Mansion also commanded the wolves.

A dozen tigers may not be able to fight dozens of wolves and the Xiao family's army.

At the very least, there are enough of them, and there may be a way for the generals and the army to retreat to Fengcheng smoothly.

This reminder made Meng Fang immediately set his eyes on the little girl who was weaving the horsehair for Yinxue on the side.

And Nie Chen, who was beside her, looked at the sweet little gray wolf sleeping in his arms with a confused expression.

"Why doesn't Uncle Meng use Yuan Baihu?"

Sensing Meng Fang's gaze, Su Qingtian's bright and beautiful big eyes looked at the other party.

"Although he seems to be unruly, he is actually a talent."

"Besides, he does have a sincere heart in his bones, not as many bad intentions as you and grandpa think."

Meng Fang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Su Qingtian to directly mention Yuan Tian.

Thinking that the little girl could pinch and calculate, it was estimated that Yuan Tian's experience and relationship with the army were calculated in three or two clicks.

"As long as Uncle Meng goes to talk to him, he will not embarrass you, and he will definitely bring someone to the battlefield to rescue Grandpa."

Meng Fang, who was still a little unable to let go, immediately made up his mind when he heard Su Qingtian say this.

Compared with the life and death of General Xiao and the future of the Mexican country, what is important about his own face.

"Where is Yuan Baihu now?"

Meng Fang looked at the soldier on the side and asked.

"At this time, I should go to the small river to the west to catch fish."

Seeing the slight change in Meng Fang's face, Xiao Bing hurriedly explained, "Actually, the big guy knows in his heart that the imperial court has not given military rations to our Xiao family army for a long time. ”

"What we eat every day is the grain that General Xiao bought with his own money, and the third son of the Xiao family is running around all year round, in order to earn more silver money for us to fill our stomachs."

"A few days ago, the general ordered the officers and men in the army to save food and not eat meat on the grounds that you were killed, and we naturally have no complaints."

"But in the long run, it will be a big problem for the physical fitness of the brothers, and if the enemy army attacks, it will simply be a mantis arm as a car."

Meng Fang thought that he and the general had concealed the matter of military rations very well, who thought that this was a secret that everyone in the army knew.

Thinking of his brothers starving because of their own inability, he blamed himself for a while.

"Every day, Yuan Baihu would take his men to the river to catch fish, or go to the mountains and forests to hunt and dig wild vegetables."

"The food brought back was privately distributed to everyone and never kept in the hands of their team."

"Therefore, the little one thinks that Yuan Baihu will definitely help General Meng and you rescue the general!"

Saying this, Xiao Bing realized that what he said violated his rank, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, bowed and kowtowed.

These words made Meng Fang have mixed tastes and was very uncomfortable.
