At the time of the third watch, the battalions began to retreat one after another. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In order not to be discovered by the enemy, Shangguan Jinpeng ordered that torches should not be lit, and the whole army walked through the darkness. Because the north was a strong official army, the Moth Army had to retreat to the southwest, surrounded by mountains, rugged and difficult to walk. It is also quite risky to march in this terrain.

The Moth Army had a large number of family members, women and children, and marched very slowly. Shangguan Jinpeng, Duan Hongyu, Lin Zhongxiao, and Shangguan Hongying rode horses to follow the Chinese army slowly, all worried.

The brigade of men and horses marching in the mountains can only put out a long snake formation, stretching for several miles before and after, the forward has passed several mountains, and the tail army is still in the camp.

Duan Hongyu looked back at the wriggling "long snake" and said secretly: "If the official army kills from both sides at this time and divides this 'long snake' into several sections, the moth army can only sit and wait to die." ”

Shangguan Jinpeng was also well aware of the danger at this moment, and on the one hand ordered to speed up the march, and on the other hand, he deployed troops to deploy troops on both sides of the "long snake" to avoid being attacked by the official army.

After traveling less than ten miles, there was a sudden chaos ahead.

Shangguan Jinpeng ordered Lin Zhongxiao to sit in the Chinese army, and led Duan Hongyu and Shangguan Hongying to rush forward.

The three of them ran not far away, and they saw a famous soldier running towards this side with a panicked expression.

The three of them reined in their mounts. Shangguan Jinpeng asked, "What's going on ahead?"

The herald said: "A large group of people suddenly appeared in the mountain pass ahead, all of them are from the Seven Peerless Mountains!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Jinpeng couldn't help but secretly complain.

The three of them rushed to the front on horseback, and met Yuan Tianhua and Niu Taoce leading the crowd to retreat. Shangguan Jinpeng split his head and asked, "Who is the leader of the army, and how many are there?"

Yuan Tianhua said: "It's Huang Tianluo, he gathered the 'Eight Monsters of the Heavenly Remnants' and blocked the mountain pass in front, and our army couldn't pass through it at all." ”

Shangguan Jinpeng still seemed very calm, dismounted and quietly came to the front of the front, only to see the torches in front of the mountain pass, Huang Tianluo led the eight monsters in the sky to line up, and the minions behind him pressed a large area, if you want to pass, it is really overwhelming!

Niu Taoce waved the Mixed Yuan Open Heaven Axe and said loudly: "Lord, what are you hesitating about?

Shangguan Hongying drew his sword in his hand and said, "Yes! Dad!

Shangguan Jinpeng didn't expect that Xia Qianxun and Huang Tianluo had already noticed his movements, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, but at this moment, he could only fight to the death! He ordered the Moth Army to move forward. In a short time, tens of thousands of horses had gathered in the small valley.

Shangguan Jinpeng stood on a huge rock, his clothes fluttering, and the red firelight couldn't stop jumping and flashing on his resolute cheeks. He pondered for a long time before he said loudly: "Brothers of the Moth Army, now our army is in an unprecedented situation. Only by fighting hard and rushing out of the mountain pass in front of you can there be a glimmer of life. I hope that all brothers will not be intimidated by difficulties, and give up their lives to move forward, and there will definitely be a turnaround. ”

The Moth Army has always regarded Shangguan Jinpeng as their god, and when they heard the commander's order, they all cheered loudly and asked to fight!

Shangguan Jinpeng divided the moth army present into a phalanx for every 5,000 people, and divided it into six phalanxes in total. With his order, the moth army rushed towards the mountain pass like a tide, and in an instant, it was killed by the minions of the Seven Peerless Mountains, and the two sides fought in front of this narrow mountain pass.

Although the combat ability of the minions of the Seven Peerless Mountains is far inferior to that of the Moth Army, they are condescending and occupy the advantage of the terrain, plus Huang Tianluo personally holds the position, no one dares to spare their lives.

Duan Hongyu saw that the moth army was really extremely brave, and he really had the courage of a moth throwing fire. Even if they are defeated, they can be crushed without chaos, and they will gather together to form a new legion. Its high degree of discipline and loyalty, not to mention the ordinary green forest armament, even the elite of the official army is much inferior, and he can't help but sigh with emotion, and secretly said: "Shangguan Jinpeng can train his subordinates to be so brave and disciplined, but he also has some ability!"

The fierce fighting lasted from night to dawn, and the Moth Army launched more than a dozen waves of attacks one after another, but still failed to break through the mountain pass. In front of the two armies, corpses were everywhere, and rivers of blood flowed everywhere.

Duan Hongyu saw that Shangguan Jinpeng was packing up his men and horses, and was about to launch an attack, so he stepped forward to stop him and said: "Sir, now that our army's spirit has weakened, such a forcible rush will not work at all, I think it is better to secretly send people to find a path, as long as a surprise army goes around the back of the enemy, the enemy army will be chaotic." ”

Shangguan Jinpeng said: "No need, with the courage of my moth army, I will be able to destroy the enemy army!" and then ordered another strong attack. Those moth troops knew that they could not break through the enemy's position, but they still charged forward regardless of life and death.

Duan Hongyu didn't expect Shangguan Jinpeng to be so stubborn and ruthless. Faced with the fall of his carefully trained soldiers in rows, he was indifferent, as if these soldiers were just lifeless wooden people. In fact, he didn't know Shangguan Jinpeng's method of governing the army, and the tactics of the Moth Army had always been to use death to deter the opponent, and in repeated battles, the opponent would completely collapse mentally with huge sacrifices, so as to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy. This kind of face-to-face battle is exactly what the Moth Army does best.

After all, the minions of the Seven Peerless Mountains were people in the green forest, and they had never encountered such a tragic battle, and they gradually couldn't support it anymore, and began to retreat.

Huang Tianluo was afraid that the whole army would collapse, so he personally killed several minions to stabilize the front.

Shangguan Jin Peng saw that there was chaos in front of the Seven Peerless Ridge Formation, and a smile finally appeared on his steel-plate-like face, and he was about to give the order to launch the final blow! Suddenly, a herald hurriedly hit his horse and hurried over.

Shangguan Jinpeng knew that there was an urgent military situation, so he temporarily stopped the attack and waited for the news of the herald.

The herald came closer, jumped down from his horse and said, "Lord, there are a large number of officers and soldiers in the rear of our army, Peng Tianwang and they are almost unable to stand it, so they sent a villain to ask for help from the lord!"

Shangguan Jinpeng's heart sank after hearing this, and he secretly said: "It's not good! In this way, our army will really suffer from the enemy!"

Yuan Tianhua said: "Lord, the situation is critical, our army should immediately turn back to deal with the official army, so as not to be copied by the official army!"

Duan Hongyu said: "No! If we turn back now, it is tantamount to giving up all the previous achievements." If Huang Tian was allowed to breathe a little easier, it would be difficult to defeat him again. Now we should go all out to defeat Huang Tianluo, and turn back to fight the official army. ”

Shangguan Jinpeng decided that Huang Tianluo had been defeated, and he was afraid that the rear army would lose too much, so he ordered: "Niu Taoce and Yuan Tianhua led 5,000 men and horses to guard this place, and they must not let the people of the Seven Peerless Mountains pass here, I will go back to rescue them!"

Duan Hongyu saw that Shangguan Jinpeng had made up his mind, and he no longer insisted.

After Shangguan Jinpeng finished explaining the task, he led the crowd to rush to reinforce Peng Xianguo and Chang Baiwei. Along the way, his face was gloomy, and he seemed to have sensed that today's battle would be more than auspicious.
