Ma Bo subconsciously glanced at the wound on his arm and said, "Dog cub, it is extremely hateful to let Ben be injured." ”

"General Ma, be careful, I'm going to go over and capture you alive now. Bao Guocai continued to provoke.

"Ahh

Seeing the shadow of the axe and gun, the two of you come and go, making people dizzy, Ma Bo knew that the other party was not easy to knock down after a few rounds of testing, so he simply left a defensive backhand in the attack, no matter how Bao Guocai lured with false tricks, he was not in a hurry, Bao Guocai's characteristic is to fake a shot, pretend to show flaws, and take advantage of the enemy's carelessness to wait for the opportunity to defend and counterattack. So in this way, the fight between the two entered the stage of stalemate.

After more than 20 rounds, he didn't even get the slightest bargain. Bao Guocai here is not in a hurry, as long as the other party does not attack in one fell swoop, it doesn't matter how he fights. Even if he can't win in a short time, once the battle continues, it's time for him to play, and he is quite confident in his physical fitness.

Ma Bo fought with him vigorously, seeing the emperor's yellow flag fluttering in the enemy's array, thinking in his heart: If I continue to be entangled like this, I am afraid that I will suffer a dark loss, although the current strength is only more than 10,000 people, but at least they are elite soldiers, and it is relatively easy to break through the northern suburbs of this projectile land, so why do I have to win?

Ma Bo made up his mind, let go of a shot, and pretended to swing an axe, Bao Guocai did not intend to retreat, and directly predicted the block, who expected that Ma Bo would take the opportunity to turn the horse's head and run back to his own formation. Bao Guocai was left aside, and he didn't dare to chase after him, for fear that Ma Bo would also have a powerful sneak attack and killing move, so he shouted loudly: "General Ma, is this defeat?"

These words were full of sarcasm, but Ma Bo turned a deaf ear at the moment, just came to the center of the front army, took the command flag held by the flag envoy next to him, and waved his army forward. Bao Guocai saw that the situation was not good, and he hurriedly slapped his horse back to the battle. Seeing that Ma Bo's 10,000 elite soldiers, like wild horses on the loose, were killing generals on a large scale and wave after wave, Bao Guocai only had 2,000 Imperial Forest troops at the moment, even if they were all well-trained, they couldn't really do one as ten.

Bao Guocai divided his troops into four routes, with 500 royal forest soldiers on each road, forming a four-elephant array to resist the enemy.

Ma Bo saw it in his eyes, and he didn't care about it, and directly ordered 10,000 elite soldiers to break through directly from one point, which was the most correct way. You must know that the array of the four elephants is endlessly changing, if the enemy army has the equivalent strength of our army, then remember not to be reckless, but now the strength of the Mabo army is five times that of the Royal Forest Army, why not a single point of impact?

The Imperial Forest Army all used spears as weapons, and Ma Bo's array had spears, long knives and even crossbowmen, so after such a set of battles, the Royal Forest Sergeants also suffered heavy casualties. Especially the crossbowmen who were plotted by countless people, Bao Guocai watched the little bit of strength he had being eaten by the enemy like this, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart, but there was no way to retreat at this moment, and he had to hold here for a while. Just as Ma Bo said, the northern suburbs of the school field is a place of projectiles, and even if there are more than 10,000 troops, if all of them are poured out in this battle, if the enemy still has backup, then why not be captured? Moreover, the terrain platform of the school in the northern suburbs has no extra geographical advantages that can be used except for the watchtowers built in the camp and the use of large tents to cover and set up ambushes.

Ma Bo calculated this point, so he dared to give up the Zhennan army and rush over directly, his idea was that as long as he killed the emperor here and obtained his head, he could more or less escape back to the capital with some remnants of the old army. At that time, even if Zhang Poyan comes to attack again, Liu Shichen will join forces with himself and fight back with all his might, and the Zhennan Army will definitely not be able to reap the benefits. What's more, there are still Zhendong and Zhenxi Second Road armies that have not yet appeared, Zhang Poyan is not a fool, and he will definitely not forcibly lose his troops to fight again. With confidence, he seems to have seen the scene when he sits in a high position and enjoys the glory and wealth.

Bao Guocai knew that if this continued, the Four Elephants Array could no longer resist, so he could only wave his division and retreat, and he was about to retreat outside the gate of the village. Ma Bo's thousands of troops rushed to prepare to cover up for a while, and at this time, the watchtower and the crossbowmen of the Royal Forest Army outside the gate began to release arrows in unison, so as to temporarily resist for a while.

Bao Guocai retreated to the camp, covered in blood, and the cover retreat just now, he bravely took the lead to reduce the casualties of the Royal Forest Army as much as possible. Lu Jianfei saw this scene not far from the gate of the village, and immediately flew forward with light skills and asked, "Master Bao, how is the situation?"

"Lord Lu, as you can see, it is very not optimistic, the Imperial Forest Army still has strength left, but if all of them are out of battle, they may be able to annihilate the enemy army, but our last trump card is gone. Bao Guocai's words highlighted his inner hesitation.

"Now is the moment of life and death, no longer hesitate, I will lead the imperial guards and the people of the Zhaoxian Pavilion to come forward to resist for a while, buy time for you, you immediately go to dispatch troops, be sure to block the enemy army out of the camp. Lu Jianfei said solemnly.

"Okay, since Lord Lu has said so, the cauldron is at this moment. Bao Guocai is not a tangled person, and immediately returned to the Chinese military camp to prepare for the deployment of the last troops.

Lu Jianfei said to the remaining imperial guards beside him: "Even if you give your own life now, you have to prevent the enemy from attacking, do you hear clearly?"

"We swear allegiance to the emperor to the death. All the imperial guards said in unison.

Lu Jianfei nodded with satisfaction, thinking back to Hong Shun, and sighed in his heart: Brother Hong, at this moment, I can more or less understand the determination you made to protect the emperor at that time.

He glanced at Yan Kuo again, Yan Kuo replied with a firm look, he didn't say anything more, and all the people of the Zhaoxian Pavilion gathered behind the imperial guards. At this time, Geng Ye, the imperial guard, suddenly asked: "Lord Lu, if we are all dispatched, in case the enemy has a rear move and breaks into the tent of the Chinese army, then who will protect the emperor's safety?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I've arranged the most suitable person. Lu Jianfei's eyes were like torches, and he said confidently.

"Didn't you personally protect you?" Geng Ye wondered.

"Now I am about to fulfill my promise to the emperor. Guarding for a while, there is someone more suitable than me. Lu Jianfei said.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan deliberately followed Yan Kuo's usual appearance, and snorted coldly and said softly: "With my master here, he is indeed more reliable than anyone else." ”

It turned out that Lu Jianfei had already asked Xu Qianlong's predecessors to personally protect the emperor, which was indeed more reliable than himself. Most of the time before, in order to protect the emperor, or to carry out the tasks assigned by the emperor, he was lagging behind others, this time, he didn't want to do this again, going into battle to kill the enemy, and defending on the front line was what he should do.

The cold wind hit, the snowflakes drifted by, Yan Kuo drank the cold wind, and couldn't help coughing a few times, Xu Yuan walked up to him with a smile and sneered: "Cold face, since you are injured, you have already fought for a while before, why don't you also guard Jiang Feng, let me show off this time." ”

"Do you think now is the time for fun?" Yan Kuo asked coldly.

"Of course not, but when you treat him as fun, wouldn't it be harder to kill the enemy later?" Xu Yuan also asked him rhetorically.

Yan Kuo snorted coldly, lifted his peerless sword, and said, "Later, if you don't kill as many enemies as I do, you will lose, do you dare to make this bet with me?"

"Ah, it's unprecedented, cold face, since you took the initiative to challenge me?" Xu Yuan was surprised.

"Don't be verbose, do you agree?" In fact, Yan Kuo had already regarded Xu Yuan as his closest brother, but he was reluctant to admit it in front of others, who had always been taciturn and a little arrogant.

"Okay, that's a deal. Look at it, the guards in front of the palace are all on board, how can the brothers of our Zhaoxian Pavilion be left behind?" Xu Yuan said happily.

"Let's go together, brothers!" Yan Kuo said in a loud voice.

"You know the name of your brother and brother, don't you take me as a girl?" Bi Xiaomeng said angrily.

"Miss Bi. Yan Kuo's tone was mixed with displeasure, but she didn't even look at it, and took the lead in the front.

Du Shaoyang looked at the actions of these people present, listened to the words of these people, couldn't help but rub his temples, and said in his heart: Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, it is really not easy for you to be the head of so many people with different tempers, this Brother Yan is already serious enough, I don't think there is anything I can do with these people.

He just smiled, subconsciously glanced back, and said in a very thin voice: "I hope I can see you again!"
