Ye Feng looked in the direction of his finger, and in the dense mountains and forests on the side of Lanzhou City, many military flags faintly appeared.

These military flags were moving rapidly, and it seemed that this army was marching towards Lanzhou City. Judging by the number of flags, this force should have numbered tens of thousands.

Although these flags are large and small, they are colorful and have different flags, but they are all embroidered with the word "Su" in Douda, they are the troops of King Su!

Reinforcements, reinforcements have finally arrived!

Ye Feng's heart suddenly felt full of joy, it seemed that Lanzhou City was finally saved, and his delaying tactics had finally succeeded.

Song Hu also saw these flags, and the number of these Suwang guards and the speed of gathering and arriving were obviously much more than he expected, and his face changed slightly.

However, he still proudly refused to stand up, and sneered: "Do you think that if you gather this group of farmers who have been in battle for a long time and can only fiddle with farm tools every day, you can turn defeat into victory?"

He pointed to the murderous military formation behind him and said, "These are all steel divisions that have survived a hundred battles, and only three thousand elite soldiers are needed to deal with these farmers. In front of them, the rabble of your peasants did not even want to get close to Lanzhou City. ”

He said it with confidence, and Ye Feng also believed that what he said was the truth, to deal with such a well-trained and ruthless tiger and wolf army in front of him, it was far from enough to rely on the long-term guards of His Royal Highness King Su.

But reinforcements finally came, and I also had the capital for World War I.

Ye Feng raised his neck and said loudly: "The fighters on the battlefield are changing rapidly, how can you know if you don't try?"

Hearing this, Song Hu smiled dumbly and said: "You still want to talk about the battlefield with Ben Hou? Don't think that you know what the battlefield is after watching the slaughter of a few untouchables just now, the two armies are facing each other, if you don't advance, you will die, after an order, the cruelty of tens of millions of lives disappearing in front of you in front of your fingers, you will never understand!"

Ye Feng couldn't help but be silent, yes, although Song Hu has been stubborn since he was a child, has no one in his eyes, and bullies others, but he has often followed his father, the old marquis Song Sheng, since he was a child, grew up in the military camp, and has been exposed to it, not only has a deep understanding of the way of unifying the army, but also has much more knowledge and experience than his peers like Ye Feng for the cruelty of the battlefield.

The ridicule on Song Hu's face had not yet dissipated, but at this time, there was a sudden uneasy commotion in these murderous military formations behind him.

Song Hu frowned, turned around and asked sharply, "What's the matter?"

An adjutant general in front of the army formation behind him immediately turned his horse out of the formation, galloped away to inspect the circle, and galloped back to Song Hu and replied: "Hou Qi, the 10,000 black-armored guards under Ma Jing have left the station, and now they have moved to the rear of our army's formation, forming a flanking attack on our army!"

When Ye Feng heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, Zhang Fatzi he succeeded!

Song Hu's face changed drastically, and he scolded: "Impossible! What about the five thousand elite horsemen who went to monitor the Black Armor Guard?

Why didn't they stop it? Why didn't they report it in time?"

The adjutant general said with some cringe: "The last general heard that the general who commanded the five thousand elite cavalry received a secret letter from the flying pigeon last night, and after reading the secret letter, he withdrew the siege of the black armor guard camp without authorization, and retreated thirty miles. ”

Song Hu was extremely shocked, and was stunned for a moment before asking, "Whose secret letter did he receive?"

The adjutant general hung his head and said, "I heard that it's Zhang Xin, the Marquis of Longping!"

Song Hu didn't speak, and his heart began to feel a little flustered.

Zhang Xin, the Marquis of Longping, the most trusted general in front of the emperor, had a very high reputation in the army, and his personal relationship with his father was also excellent.

But why did he suddenly write to sabotage his plan, and how did he know about it?

Thinking of this, he remembered Ye Feng's question to him just now, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

Could it be that these are all the emperor's intentions?

He unconsciously looked up at Ye Feng in front of him.

Ye Feng didn't actually know Zhang Xin, Marquis of Longping, and naturally he wouldn't know why he would write a secret letter to sabotage Song Hu's plan. However, when he heard that the black armor guard had acted as planned, proving that his righteous brother Zhang Fatzi should also be safe and sound, he couldn't help but be a little overjoyed.

Song Hu saw the joy on his face at the moment, and his heart suddenly became angry, and he felt as if Ye Feng was laughing at him.

He almost roared angrily: "Don't be complacent yet! The army is still in Ben Hou's hands, and the 10,000 black armor guards are just some foot soldiers, and they are definitely no match for the iron cavalry led by Ben Hou. It's a big deal, Ben Hou will give you a bloody battle under the city today, and fight to the death!"

Before his words fell, the adjutant general suddenly said a little timidly: "The last general, the last general also heard that the commanders and generals of the major military formations received a secret letter from the Marquis of Longping last night, I am afraid that they all have different intentions at this moment, and they will no longer obey the dispatch of the Hou Ye." ”

Song Hu's face changed color and said: "What! nonsense, they are all subordinates of the old marquis for many years, and they are loyal, how can they oppose me?"

The lieutenant general whispered, "But the last general heard that before they followed the old marquis to the northwest town, they were all subordinates of the Marquis of Longping. ”

Song Hu's heart was already in turmoil, he jumped up and stood on horseback, looking from a distance, the surrounding military formations were really moving in all directions at this moment, gradually moving away from the central military formation behind him, if once the fight started, I am afraid they would not follow his orders, they would only watch from the wall.

His central army formation has been completely isolated!

Song Hu sat on the horse a little dejectedly, he didn't understand, just a moment ago, this was still a sure win, and he was still proudly mocking the helpless Ye Feng in front of him.

Why did all this change in a blink of an eye, and he actually fell to such a point where everyone betrayed his relatives and was in a desperate situation.

But why is all this?

It is often said that if you make a mistake, you will lose the whole game, but which one of you is wrong

Got it?

Ye Feng quietly looked at Song Hu who was in a daze in front of him, sighed and said: "Little Marquis, the matter has come to this, you can't be obsessed anymore, for the sake of the people in the city, and for the lives of the soldiers under your command, it is better to rein in the precipice, hurry up and turn back!"

Song Hu raised his eyes and roared loudly as if he was crazy: "No, I will never admit defeat! I want to enter Lanzhou City, I want to kill all of you, and no one can stop me!"

He no longer calls himself "Ben Hou", he has forgotten his identity, and his heart is completely messed up.

Ye Feng sighed, it seemed that in order to prevent Song Hu from resisting stubbornly and causing unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice, the best way now was to let Mo Qizhong restrain Song Hu first.

He turned his head to look at Mo Qichong who was standing aside, but Mo Qizhong still just smiled at him, shook his head, and signaled him not to worry.

Ye Feng was stunned, could there be any other way?

Just as he was in doubt, he saw a fast horse from behind, hurrying towards the central army formation.

This fast horse has been galloping to Song Hu's side, the person on the horse rolled the saddle and dismounted, leaned over in front of Song Amber's horse and reported loudly: "Qi Hou Ye, the border pass came from the flying pigeon to expedite the military situation, last night, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Tatar Department suddenly raised 30,000 troops, towards our Ganliang border overnight, now it is less than a day and night away from the Ganliang defense line, the border guard will ask Hou Ye to immediately lead the troops back to defense!"

Except for Mo Qizhong, the people present all felt shocked when they heard this military report, but Mo Qizhong lowered his head, as if he was not surprised.

Tatar offense?

Since the Northern Yuan Dynasty was destroyed by the great general Lan Yu, the remnants of the forces were divided, among which the strongest were the Tatars and Warats.

Since Ugqi killed Kun Timur two years ago and established himself as the Great Khan, because of the contradictions between him and other remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty such as Warat, he has been repairing books and sending envoys to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty, so in the past two years, the border has been relatively calm and there have been no major conflicts.

At this time, why did the Tatars suddenly change their faces, raise 30,000 troops, and attack my Ganliang border pass day and night?

Although the Ganliang border pass has been high under the leadership of the old marquis Song Sheng, the city wall has been strong, but now Song Hu suddenly took away 20,000 elite cavalry to Lanzhou, these elite cavalry are all the elite of the elite, is one of the most important combat forces in the border pass, and now suddenly left, so that the Ganliang defense line inevitably feels a little empty.

In addition, the Tatar cavalry crisscrossed the grassland, all of them were brave and good at fighting, and they were the main force in the Northern Yuan army at the beginning.

Song Hu lowered his head and did not squeak, the sweet and cool defense line is his father's old marquis Song Sheng's life's work, and it is also his father's greatest glory, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

But if he wants to withdraw his troops and return to help now, give up everything in front of him, and give up this opportunity to take revenge, he is really a little unwilling.

The messenger soldier lying on the ground, the lieutenant generals behind him, and the soldiers of the whole army were quietly waiting for his decision, to fight or not to fight,

Now it's all in his hands.

He was hesitating.

Ye Feng pulled the reins of the horse and said to him with some eagerness: "Little Hou Ye, do you still want to be obsessed with it? Do you want to ignore the interests of the country and the heavy responsibilities of the border passes, and you want to ignore the old Hou Ye's life's work and insist on fighting this battle that you can't win? Do you have to do such a thing that makes your relatives painful and your enemies happy?"

Song Hu's whole body was shocked, and he seemed to be touched by Ye Feng's words.

Ye Feng suddenly turned over and dismounted, and walked straight towards Song Hu, this move, along with Mo Qizhong, who was standing aside, couldn't help but be stunned.

He came to Song Hu's horse, leaned down, and wrote four big characters on the ground with his fingers.

At first, Song Hu was stunned for a moment, but when he looked at these four words, his expression changed, and when he raised his eyes to look at Ye Feng, there was also a trace of admiration and appreciation in his eyes.

He cleared his throat, then suddenly turned around and shouted: "Order! The whole army will retreat, and the rear team will be changed to the front team, and immediately return to help Ganliang and resist foreign aggression!"

The generals behind him immediately all looked happy and immediately waved the command flag.

The herald who was lying on the ground also jumped up in high spirits, jumped on horseback, and galloped to the orders of the army, shouting loudly along the way: "Return to Gan Liang, resist foreign aggression!"

A moment later, all the military formations erupted in a deafening chorus: "Return to the aid of Gan Liang, resist foreign aggression!"

This army, which looked like it was about to fall apart just now, suddenly became high morale again, and it turned back into the invincible tiger and wolf army!

As these military formations slowly retreated, Ye Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he looked at Song Hu, who was riding on a horse and felt a little lost, and said, "Little Marquis, take care all the way!"

Song Hu glanced at him with some surprise, then turned his horse's head and followed the army and retreated.

At the moment when he turned the horse away, he whispered to Ye Feng: "The captain of the guard who poisoned Ma Jing was really not instructed by Ben Hou. ”

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Song Hu had already patted the horse away, leaving only his loud sentence in his ears: "There will be a period later!"

(According to historical records, Song Hu attacked the Marquis of Xining after the death of his father Song Sheng, and wore the seal of the former general in the eighth year of Yongle, went to the town of Gansu, and was recalled to Nanjing two years later, relieved of the military power, and only took charge of the sacrifice of filial piety as an imperial prince.) It wasn't until after 12 years of idleness that he had the opportunity to serve as an idle post as the garrison of Nanjing. ）
