The Tang Zhan army hid in the grass and rock mass for a moment, and the Mengyuan soldiers who were in ambush outside also stopped moving. Yan Jitai's troops were very cunning, they did not move the enemy, and only waited for Tang Zhan's troops to emerge before the Mengyuan army launched a sneak attack, so that even if they hid in a temporarily safe hiding place, they could not find the location of the Mengyuan ambush army.

And the security here is also temporary, Meng Yuan must have begun to outflank here from all the main roads in the mountains, if he is afraid of being ambushed by the enemy, he will not move for a long time in the hidden place of this rock mass, and in the end he can only wait for death......

"No, we have to rush out—" Tang Zhan said firmly, "stay here, and Meng Yuan's ambush army will soon surround you from all directions." It's a rough mountain road, and if it does, it's too late to escape—"

"But how to escape from here, the enemy army here knows much better than us, they will definitely predict our retreat route in advance and set up an ambush......" Lu Jing, who has always been in a critical moment, also seemed a little anxious.

"Time can't wait for a moment longer, and you have to break through the siege!" Tang Zhan made up his mind and suddenly shouted, "The whole army has an order, this general will use the pass rock as a cover, and the rest of the people will retreat along the same road!"

As soon as the words fell, Tang Zhan sprang out of the grass and dealt with the enemy's ambush head-on. Tang Zhan's speed was very decisive, and Lu Jing didn't have time to shout......

Sure enough, Tang Zhan jumped into the open ground with a light feat, and as soon as he appeared, there was a rain of arrows flying on all sides.

"Retreat!" Tang Zhan shouted behind him.

The order of the commander had to be ordered to descend the mountain from the main force behind him in the direction of the original road in an orderly manner. Although there are not many 500 men and horses, it is not easy to retreat one by one, and if Tang Zhan wants to cover it with the strength of one person, it will take a lot of effort, and he will have to face an increasingly dangerous ambush.

"Fool-" Lu Jing was the last to walk out of the army. Seeing Tang Zhan face the dangerous situation alone, he shouted out in a lost voice.

The rain of arrows came towards Tang Zhan, Tang Zhan held his breath and concentrated, his hands gathered his breath and came out, from the center of the mountain rock, a horizontal wind fell in the air. As sharp as a mad knife, it seemed to be able to cut through the mountainside - the "Splitting Empty Palm" soared into the sky, accompanied by the roar of the killing wind, and the arrows flying around were all broken, but they did not hurt Tang Zhan at all.

"Jing'er, take the troops away first, I'll arrive immediately!" Tang Zhan took the first wave, turned around and shouted at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing saw Tang Zhan's unwavering eyes, although she couldn't let go of it in her heart. But having been with Tang Zhan for so long, when and where Lu Jing trusted him, Lu Jing knew better than anyone else. So, Lu Jing cast a trusting gaze, nodded slightly at Tang Zhan, and then turned his head to keep up with the main force......

Tang Zhan fought alone, and what appeared on both sides of the mountainside was no longer flying arrows, but Mengyuan soldiers who were in ambush. Tang Zhan and Lu Jing guessed correctly before. Time passed, and the enemy forces were slowly surrounding from all sides.

"Kill-" The Meng Yuan troops shouted and killed in the array. Seeing that Tang Zhan was extraordinary, he knew that he must be an important general of the vanguard army, and he would be arrested immediately.

Tang Zhan also showed the pear flower gun without hesitation, and the barrel of the gun went upwards to block the weapons waved by the Mengyuan soldiers. Tang Zhan's internal force came out, and the purple light of the gun body flashed. The "Light Thunder Slash" broke through the air, and the purple light was like a whistling blade wind, accompanied by a strong internal force that made a "whoosh-" sound, only to see all the Mengyuan soldiers screaming, and they were all bounced away by the powerful internal force. Again, it's all cliffs. While their bodies were covered with blood marks due to gun marks, most of the soldiers were directly shocked back from the cliff by Tang Zhan's internal force, and fell directly to the bottom of the valley......

"Tang Family Overlord Gun-" On the side of the ambush of the Mengyuan army, Yan Jitai Bazaduo and Li Chengsheng, who arrived at some point, were observing all this, Yan Jitai showed an expected look in his eyes and said, "It won't be wrong, he is the descendant of the Tang family, Tang Zhan, the chief general of the left third vanguard army under Chang Yuchun...... In this way, the woman just now must be their military advisor Lu Jing......"

"The two people who made our army frightened......" Li Chengsheng smiled and responded softly, "But this time you really guessed it, your lordship, Tang Zhan and Lu Jing really didn't go out with their main force......

"This is thanks to your previous reminder ...... military advisor," Yan Jitai continued to laugh, "The Qiling Three-Way Road is divided into the middle, west and east, and the land of the Middle Road Plain is directly bordered by Xuzhou Chengguan for garrison...... Since General Ben has returned the battle letter to the military headquarters of Tang Zhan, he will definitely take the initiative to attack, and they know this. The middle road is the plain land where the cavalry is good at distant, and they must have thought that I will launch an offensive with the main army from it, so they will definitely deploy the main force in the middle of the road. Chang Yuchun and even in the battle of Qiling in person, our army has repeatedly circled behind, they must be worried that our army will repeat its old tricks, so the west road is also deployed; as for the east road, although it is difficult to use troops, but Lu Jing is quite scheming, she will definitely pay strict attention to this place, she and Tang Zhan have extraordinary courage, even if there is no main army to follow, they will definitely come to investigate in person......"

"So, my lord, you just target them one by one, right......" Li Chengsheng asked with a smile.

"Hmph, indeed...... In order to confuse the enemy, our army naturally used the 'sand cavalry formation' to distract the enemy's line of sight -- on this basis, the middle road set up a false formation, so that the enemy army mistakenly believed that the main force of our army would really attack from the middle road, which was good at cavalry combat. But in fact, our army wanted to let the enemy waste the energy of the main force in the middle of the road, and instead launched the main offensive on the western road that they could not have imagined. They would never have imagined until they died that I would make a move that violated the common sense of the art of war with the main force of the cavalry army and attacked the narrow pass of the West Road, which was not good at cavalry formation...... But this is indeed the case, the negligence of the Western Road, they will certainly not send heavy troops to defend, even if they are not good at cavalry, the main force of tens of thousands of strong charges, will not be invincible; although the losses are large, but they can basically eat the defenders of the Western Road, break the enemy army, not only shake the enemy's military morale, but also take the West Road into the bag...... The final host, since Tang Zhan and Lu Jing will come in person, General Ben will set up an ambush here and meet with him in person. I want to see, a descendant of the Tang family. What can a yellow-haired girl do to make my army tremble......"

As he spoke, Yan Jitai laid out his original plan one by one. His plan was perfect, and even Lu Jing calculated it, but the only omission was that he didn't notice it - Chang Yuchun's main reinforcements arrived in time at a critical moment. The military situation in the West Road was alleviated, and Yan Jitai's plan to seize it could only be temporarily ended because of this change, but Yan Jitai himself did not know the battle situation at this time......

Tang Zhan's side single-handedly blocked the siege of Mengyuan's enemy army wave after wave, and seeing that the total number of rounds of enemy troops was slightly suspended, Tang Zhan immediately turned around and left, and went to Lu Jing and his main force to meet......

Seeing that Tang Zhan was leaving, there was also a change on Yan Jitai's side, and he immediately said to Li Chengsheng: "Pass the order." The various passes of the host ambush army are blocking the necessary passage in all parts of Nanling -- these should be the only troops of the vanguard army lurking in the host road, and they must not be allowed to escape! I will personally capture Tang Zhan and Lu Jing alive-"

"Yes—" Li Chengsheng agreed, and then turned to give orders to the troops he was ambushing......

Tang Zhan's side didn't take much effort to make peace with his own troops, after all, this mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and it was difficult for the main force to go far in a short time. And Lu Jing saw Tang Zhan return safely, and half of the falling stone in her heart was also put down.

"How's it going, stupid. Are you alright?" Lu Jing asked with concern first.

"I'm fine—" Tang Zhan took back the pear flower gun for the time being, and said seriously. "But the enemy has just slowed down the siege in place, and I think that their main forces may have slowly circled to the rear, preparing to intercept our retreat route...... The enemy is well prepared, and if our army still acts according to the original plan, it will definitely fall into their trap, and we must hurry up with new countermeasures!"

Lu Jing ordered the main force to stop retreating. Then he held his chin and thought for a while. Lu Jing knew better than anyone else that Yan Jitai must have expected that he and Tang Zhan would come to the host in person, so the ambush was in place step by step. Lu Jing made a bold idea, and then said: "I have a plan to ensure the safe departure of the main force." But this plan is dangerous......"

"Just say what the plan is, there's no time left-" Tang Zhan also said anxiously.

Lu Jing turned his head to Tang Zhan and cast a serious gaze, and then said: "Just let me and you be fooled, the two of us will lead away Yan Jitai's troops, and the main force will find another way to rush back to the main camp from here, and spread the news to Lao Jiu and my brother and my brother......"

"Are the two of us?" Tang Zhan also felt a shock in his heart, but what Lu Jing said, Tang Zhan has always trusted him.

Lu Jing continued: "Because Yan Jitai's target is the two of us, the commander of the vanguard army and the military division of the vanguard army, it is much more cost-effective to capture the two of us alive than to capture five hundred troops alive. Moreover, our army will find another long way and will not return by the same route, and the troops of Yanzhijitai will only set up ambushes at the original passes, and will no longer ambush other places, and the main force of our army will basically be safe......"

Tang Zhan thought about it quietly, decisively agreed with Lu Jing's decision, and then said categorically: "Okay, according to what Jing'er said, the whole army has an order, break down the long road from the west side of Beiling, return to the main camp, and pass the news to the military headquarters." General Ben and the Army Division are here to divert the enemy troops!"

However, as soon as this order was issued, the soldiers present were a little stunned, they couldn't believe that Tang Zhan and Lu Jing, who were the main generals, actually abandoned their identity and status and protected the safety of the main army with their own lives. But it was precisely this decision that Tang Zhan and Lu Jing established a high and respectful position in the hearts of everyone, saying that they could not abandon the general who was born and died with them and run for their lives alone......

"What's the matter, why don't you act?" Tang Zhan saw that the soldiers were standing still and did not move, and reprimanded loudly, "What are you still delaying? The enemy army will arrive soon, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave!"

As he was speaking, one of the soldiers below responded loudly: "General, we can't leave you and the military advisor here to die, run for our lives alone, and die together if we want to die, we are not greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"Yes—" The soldiers below shouted indignantly.

"You dare to disobey military orders?" Tang Zhan's eyes froze, and he asked instead.

"Anyway, it's better to die in battle!" the soldier continued, "We take to heart what General Tang and the Army Division said today! But in a desperate situation, we must not abandon the General and the Army Division. Isn't it just a few Mengyuan Tartars, it's a big deal to fight with them!"

"Yes, fight with them!" the soldiers continued.

Lu Jing looked at these affectionate and righteous subordinates below, and couldn't help but feel a touch in her heart, because of her and Tang Zhan's righteous actions, she won the trust of everyone below like brothers in life and death, Lu Jing was full of emotion in her heart.

However, Tang Zhan's expression did not seem to be happy, and after being silent for a while, Tang Zhan walked up to the soldier who "refuted" him, and said righteously: "You are not afraid of death, I know! You regard me Tang Zhan as a brother in life and death, and I also understand! As a soldier, you can't abandon your brother and steal your life...... But have you ever thought that if you die with me here, even if you die in a vigorous battle, it will only win the backbone -- but in our barracks, there are thousands of brothers like us, and thousands of soldiers and brothers may die because of this error in intelligence! In this case, are you worthy of the so-called 'righteousness' in your hearts?"

As soon as Tang Zhan said this, there was a moment of silence below.

Tang Zhan slowed down, and then continued: "It is true that brothers are not abandoned on the battlefield -- but brothers all have the same fate, even if I am the general of the same army, there is no difference between me and the engineers who replenish the military supplies in the rear battalion, they are all brothers who live and die together on the battlefield! If you all die in battle here, and the main force of the rear battalion does not get the military information of the eastern mountain road, our army may make a big mistake because of this, causing more brothers to die in vain!" You are not only bearing the lives of my Tang Zhan, but also the lives of thousands of brothers in the battalion, do you want to ignore the lives of tens of millions of brothers in the whole army for the lives of my Tang Zhan and the military advisor?"

After Tang Zhan finished speaking, all the soldiers below bowed their heads and were silent, they knew the mistake they had made by disobeying the military order just now. But while everyone felt guilty, their hearts were more impassioned than they were left behind, Tang Zhan, as the master of the army, his words of encouragement aroused the fighting spirit of the whole army and condensed the morale of the army.

Finally, the soldier who had just "refuted" corrected and said, "I know, General, we will definitely send the news back to the main camp!" As he spoke, the soldier cast a firm look at Tang Zhan, his eyes like a life-and-death farewell between brothers.

The soldiers below also cast a trusting and firm gaze at Tang Zhan, facing upwards together, how tragic?

Lu Jing saw Tang Zhan's decisive words and deeds as the general of the first army, and was secretly surprised in his heart - today's Tang Zhan is no longer the stupid boy he used to be, because he has become more and more mature along the way, he has really fulfilled his promise and become a man who stands up to the sky......

So under the passionate words of Tang Zhan, the soldiers took over the military order, changed the route and went down the west side of the North Ridge, and turned back to the main camp of the Longhu position around the long road......

The rest of Tang Zhan and Lu Jing returned on a long detour according to the original plan, and Yan Jitai's ambush army also set up an ambush on the original road, and his target happened to be Tang Zhan and Lu Jing. All the way to this trip, it will be more dangerous......

"Jing'er ......" Tang Zhan and Lu Jing continued to turn back the same way, and along the way they had to constantly guard against the sneak attack of the enemy's ambush army, but at this time, Tang Zhan changed his tone and called softly.

"What's the matter, stupid?" Lu Jing's tone was very calm, as if she had guessed what Tang Zhan would say, but she still asked calmly.

Tang Zhan thought back and forth as he walked, and there was a sad smile in his eyes. Immediately, Tang Zhan continued: "If today, we are done here, are you scared Jing'er?"

Lu Jing was silent for a long time, but her expression didn't change much - she guessed that Tang Zhan would say such a thing.

"With you stupid, Jing'er has never been afraid of anything - Jing'er only knows that you are by Jing'er's side, and Jing'er is very happy......" Lu Jing showed a charming smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, and under the women's suit, Lu Jing showed the beautiful face of Bianliang in the past...... (To be continued......)
