"Ergou, where are we going now? The city was breached, and the brothers were scattered. ”

"How do I know?"

"You say how could there be such a powerful Xia people raiding our south? Isn't General Wang killing summer dogs in the southwest? How did they get there? Could it be that General Wang lost? ”

"How the fuck do I know?"

"I said before, don't join the army, don't join the army, you don't listen. Okay now, the donkey is dead, Ge Erdan is also dead, and the two of us are the brothers who play together. ”

"You're fucking annoying! I know that beep chatter, beep chatter, if you want to go, leave now, Lao Tzu will also be quiet. ”

……

On a small road in Nanli County, there are two figures walking leisurely, noisy as they walk.

These two people are Ge Ergou, who has newly joined the Nanli garrison, and his companion Ge Maozi.

After Li Yuanxu led his troops to break through Nanli County yesterday, their team was scattered, and they fled all the way outside the city to save their lives.

Although Ge Maozi was scolded, he still threw his face away in the end and left without anger.

The county seat of Nanli has been breached, the defenders have either been killed or fled, and the whole county has become a pot of porridge.

There are people everywhere, many people are fishing in troubled waters, burning, killing and looting in an endless stream.

Even if the two of them are officers and soldiers, they have to keep a low profile, one is that they are just two of them, and the other is that the situation has collapsed to this point, those fierce people who usually commit crimes don't care about their identities, as long as they dare to make a move, they will definitely be retaliated against.

"Ergou, you give me a good word, where are we going now? You can't just hang around here all the time, can you? "Ge Maozi is already very impatient.

Ge Ergou thought for a while and said, "Go back to the village!" ”

Ge Maozi's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Yes! Back to the village! Let's go back now! ”

Since they decided not to go back to the city to find the team, but to go back to the village, the speed of the two has become a lot faster.

Geba Village is a large village in Nanli County, with hundreds of households and a population of more than 1,000.

There is a river in front of the village, and a dam is built between the rivers, and more than eighty percent of the people in the village are of the same clan as Ge, and only a small number of foreign surnames are named, so it is called "Geba Village".

Ge Ergou and Ge Maozi came to the familiar dam, and after the dam was Geba Village.

Looking at the familiar village, Ge Maozi couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and said excitedly: "Hey! I'm back again! Whew......"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, Ge Ergou on the side reached out to cover his mouth and threw him to the ground.

Ge Maozi didn't know why, and let out a "woo woo" sound in his mouth, thinking that Ge Ergou was crazy.

"Don't scream!"

Ge Ergou glared at him fiercely, and said in a suppressed voice, "Look at the ground." ”

Ge Maozi glanced at the ground when he heard this, and he was a little dazed at first, until he saw the dense horseshoe prints on the ground, and his dark eyes suddenly straightened.

He had been in the army for a few days, so he could naturally see that these horseshoe prints must have been left by cavalry.

After all, this is a country where there are very few horses, let alone a large number of horses.

As soon as he thought of this, Ge Maozi's breathing suddenly became short, and a pair of eyes stared at Geba Village on the other side, and said, "Ergou, is it a Xia person?" ”

Ge Ergou said angrily: "How the hell do I know?" ”

He changed his words and continued: "The village can't be entered for the time being, let's go to other places to see if there is really a summer dog touching our village." ”

Ge Maozi nodded, and then the two changed places.

It's still on the riverbank, but I found a place on a higher level where I can see the village.

The two of them lay there, their eyes fixed on the situation in the village.

"Ergou, is there really a Xia person in the village?" Ge Maozi said worriedly.

Once the Xia people enter the village, the thousands of people in the entire village may not be spared.

Ge Ergou ignored him, staring at the village with his eyes, until Ge Maozi pushed him with his elbow, and then he said: "Maozi, I will give you a task, you can rush back to the city now to see if there are any defenders in the city." If there are defenders, let them come quickly. ”

"Is there really a Xia person?"

Ge Maozi hurriedly raised his head and looked at the opposite side, as if he was about to cross over.

"What are you doing?"

Ge Ergou pressed Ge Maozi down, glared at him and said, "Don't you want to live anymore?" ”

Ge Maozi hurriedly said: "Ergou, my father, my mother and my sister are still in the village!" I can't let those summer dogs kill them. ”

As he spoke, he was about to run out, and his strength almost overturned Ge Ergou.

"Smack!"

Ge Ergou slapped Ge Maozi in the face and directly slapped him.

He grabbed Ge Maozi by the collar, gritted his teeth and said, "You listen to Lao Tzu, even if you rush into the village now, not only will you not be able to save your father and mother, but you yourself will have to die here." ”

Afraid that Ge Maozi didn't listen to the words, he pinched Ge Maozi's chin with one hand and said coldly: "You go back to the city immediately now, only by finding the general, your father and your mother, and our entire village can be saved, do you hear clearly?" ”

Ge Maozi was beaten and pinched again, his heart was hairy, and his head was like a sleepy worm.

"Hurry up! If you don't find Lao Tzu when you come back, Lao Tzu will probably follow this group of people, and Lao Tzu will leave some marks on the way. Ge Ergou said solemnly.

Ge Maozi realized the seriousness of the matter and said, "Ergou, you have to be careful!" If you really can't do it, you don't want to follow them, it's important to run for your life. ”

Ge Ergou said with a smile: "Lao Tzu has a cheap life, and if he dies, he will die." If you can get lucky and make a big achievement, you will have everything in the future. ”

"You ......"

Ge Maozi was speechless for a while, it was time for him, and he was still thinking about being promoted and making a fortune.

"Get out of here!"

Ge Ergou let him go like a fly, unwilling to say anything more to him.

In fact, how could he stay simply to get promoted and make a fortune?

Which of the hundreds of families in the village has never given him food, how can he forget this kindness?

……

South away from the county seat.

When Wang Cheng arrived, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and he walked into the city step by step through the city gate.

The tall and sturdy gates were again violently destroyed, and it was only a few days after they were repaired.

There were signs of fighting everywhere in the streets, much of the blood on the ground had not yet dried, the houses on both sides were in tatters, and the area near the city gate was in ruins.

Looking at the ruined county town in front of him, Wang Cheng couldn't find a place to vent his anger.

In addition to hating Li Yuanxu, he also hated himself, he overestimated himself and underestimated Li Yuanxu's madness.

"General!"

At this moment, Zhang Han, who was dressed in red fish scale armor, walked over quickly, and when he was still a few steps away from Wang Cheng, he suddenly knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Nanli was broken by the enemy, it is a dereliction of duty and a capital crime!" ”

He smacked his head on the ground and did not dare to lift it.

Wang Cheng looked at Zhang Han, his expression changed, and after a long time, he spoke: "General Zhang has worked hard, and if you don't enter the city in time to clean up the mess, the situation in Nanli County will be even worse." ”

was praising in words, but Zhang Han listened to it extremely harshly, and cold sweat flowed down his back.

Zhangzhou is adjacent to Nanli County, Li Yuanxu led 3,000 men and horses to raid Nanli County, and there was no movement in Zhangzhou, so it was impossible to say.

He raised his head and said, "I don't dare to hide the general, this time the Xia army raided the south, which is very strange." The general set up a number of posts near Nanli, but our military did not find any trace of the enemy. ”

When Wang Cheng heard this, his brows tightened.

As Zhang Han said, he set up many outposts outside the city, especially in the Nanli Mountain Range, there are one every few hundred meters, and they are condescending, and the movement under the mountain is absolutely impossible to hide from their eyes.

With such a tight defense, how could it be impossible to find Li Yuanxu's traces in advance?

Even at night, the movement of 3,000 men and horses could not hide the ears of those dark whistles.

Wang Cheng looked at Zhang Han and said, "You mean, there are spies among us?" ”

"There must be!" Zhang Handao.

Wang Cheng said: "Who do you suspect?" ”

Zhang Han said: "The only people in the whole army who know and can mobilize our army's secret outpost are generals, biao and lieutenants, and it is impossible for the general to reveal the information of the secret outpost, so there is only ......."

At this point, he suddenly stopped talking.

"Do you doubt righteousness?" Wang Cheng said coldly.

"Please be clear, General!" Zhang Han said and smacked his head on the ground again.

Wang Cheng was silent, because he also suspected this person, not to mention anything else, last time Nanli County was breached, half of the Nanli defenders were gone, and Chengyi didn't have anything to do.

He asked, "Is there a whereabouts of Cheng Yi?" ”

"His Majesty has been sending people to look for it, but so far they have not been found." Zhang Handao.

"Could it be gone?" Wang Cheng asked.

Zhang Han shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, and then added: "I heard from the defenders who are still alive in the city that Captain Cheng is not defending the south. ”

Wang Cheng's expression was obscure, and he said in a deep voice: "Keep looking, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Han nodded in response.

"Get up!"

Wang Cheng asked Zhang Han to get up and said, "Do you know the movements of Li Yuanxu's gang?" ”

Zhang Han said: "Li Yuanxu led the army to raid Nanli County yesterday evening, according to the reaction of the surviving defenders in the city, they repaired for a period of time after entering the city, and then disappeared. ”

"Missing?"

Wang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "You mean, they didn't withdraw from Nanli County?" ”

"They have not been found to have withdrawn."

"So, they're still in Nanli County!"

Wang Cheng's face was full of murderous intent, it seems that this hussar general has a bigger appetite than he thought, and he has to be bold!

With only 3,000 men and horses under his command, he dared to go deep into the hinterland of the southwest, which must have a bigger plan.

That's right, too!

The four southeastern states of Xia are now all in the hands of the Great Zhou, and the Xia army has suffered heavy casualties, if Li Yuanxu doesn't do something, how can he explain to Li Yuanjie, the king of Xia?

It's just that Wang Cheng's pressure came, and more than 3,000 elites of the Xia army entered the hinterland of Southwest County, among which there were 500 Black Eagle Army, and no county in Southwest County could stop it.

"Report !!"

At this moment, a soldier ran over and said in a panic: "General, I have found the traces of the Xia people!" ”
