Looking at these people in front of him who can be called subordinates for the time being, Yang Fanhai's heart was inexplicably heavy.

It was his first time leading troops, and he knew there would be shortcomings. But at the moment when he didn't even see people clearly, nearly half of them died, and this result still made him feel remorseful.

Is this how it feels to be a general? I secretly asked myself in my heart that the moment I stepped on the battlefield, I had to bear not only my own life and death, but also the lives of those who obeyed my orders.

The land of high grass and forests is suitable for concealment, and he should have thought about it before, how could he rush directly into it with more than 300 people so recklessly.

Personal force aside, if you come over as a veteran, you will definitely be able to do better than yourself.

These days, he has been trained hard by the beard, although he doesn't care, but he still vaguely minds in his heart that the other party lets him start his military life as a recruit.

But this moment was different, he felt that what the beard said that day was completely correct. The rank of a general should be exchanged for military merits, although those who have military merits are not necessarily more experienced, but those who do not have military merits are almost a battlefield idiot.

It's a shame that he only brought 300 people today, and if he directly became a partial general and brought 4,000 or 5,000 people, how many people would have lost their lives in vain because of their own mistakes.

Sighing slightly, Yang Fanhai was helpless, he still had too much to learn, as Xu Fan said, three hundred people was already the limit of the immortal clan's own command.

"Captain Yang!"

Seeing that Yang Fanhai had been distracted and silent, someone finally couldn't help but shout and wait for instructions.

Yang Fanhai came back to his senses, glanced at the woods in the distance, thought for a while, and then shouted someone to order: "You go back quickly and tell the general, there is no one here, but Changguo is playing tricks." ”

Suddenly, I felt that this was not safe enough, and I called out to the four of them again, and also ordered them to move separately and quickly go back to report the news.

There was no need to look into the woods at this point, and I knew that there must be no one inside, otherwise I would never have watched myself slaughter the scouts. The cost of a well-trained scout is much higher than that of other soldiers, and no one will die in vain.

"Others, follow me!"

Roll over and get on your horse and move forward again. Looking at the corpses of his colleagues along the way, Yang Fanhai felt uncomfortable and wanted to bury them, but he also knew that the battle situation was vague and not clear enough to know what would happen in the next moment.

A delay may lead to more serious consequences, and now is not the time to do such a thing, but to put it aside and ride the horse at a gallop.

After passing the woods, we walked for an hour and entered an open plain. It is said that it is the land of the thistle country, but there is no city to garrison, and it is extremely conducive to marching, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is shared by the two countries.

In the past, the cavalry of Changguo often rushed into this area, invading the rear, coming and going like the wind. However, the same is true of the opponent's proximity to the territory, and the cavalry of the Ji Kingdom can also be intruded.

More than a hundred cavalry returned to Mengcheng, which did not have much effect, and it was the most suitable to come here.

A rapid march, a fierce battle, and here again, it was already approaching evening. I found a suitable place, dismounted, rested and waited. After all, there are only more than 100 people on his side, and it is not a good choice to fight hard, so it is good to wait for the opportunity at night.

waited for a long time, and it was not until nightfall that Yang Fanhai led more than 100 people to re-act.

Outside the city of Meng.

The 30,000 Changguo army surrounded the city, and only more than 2,000 people on the city wall barely supported it with bows and crossbows. The disparity in numbers is not enough to defend at all, and it has been able to hold on until now entirely because the Changguo army has strangely not attacked with all its might.

When night falls, the torches shine brightly on the battlefield.

The camp of the thistle country.

Standing on a makeshift wooden platform looking ahead, Xu Fan stood aside and carefully observed the battle situation. Although the night obstructed their vision, it did not affect the two of them to estimate the battlefield situation.

His 10,000 soldiers and horses, divided into two places, confronted the Changguo army in front and dispersed the siege efforts. 5,000 Chinese troops were waiting at the camp, and another 5,000 men and horses were defending in the south in the direction of Changguo to deal with the enemy who might appear at any time.

"Do you think Meng Cheng will be able to hold out until dawn?" asked the bearded man, worried.

After communicating with Xu Fan for a day, he found that this seemingly hip-hop kid had an analysis of the battlefield beyond his imagination, and if he could cultivate it well, he would definitely be a handsome talent in the future of Ji Guo.

Xu Fan shook his head: "Now it's not whether they can hold out until dawn, but whether the Changguo army is willing to let them hold out until dawn!"

After a pause, he said, "Actually, I have more things to worry about than that. ”

"What?" asked the bearded man. There were only two people on the high platform at the moment, so there was no need to whisper.

Xu Fan pointed ahead: "Everything here is what we see, what we see is not dangerous, what I'm worried about is what we don't see." What would it be, where it was hidden, and when it would be activated. ”

The beard nodded: "I'm still waiting for Yang Fanhai's news, and there is about half an hour." If there is no news coming back in half an hour, something must have happened to him. ”

Xu Fan shook his head: "I'm not only worried about this, in fact, if my guess is right, that direction must be tricky and wants to attract our attention." ”

"But that's what worries me. 30,000 people, besieging the city, and dealing with us who are killed from behind, idiots know that this is not possible, it is tantamount to looking for their own death. But the Changguo army did that, why? Who gave them the confidence? Just because we were recruits? But why would he know that you brought new soldiers and not veterans?"

The beard frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Fan's brows jumped, and he said with a serious face: "If my guess is right, the enemy commander should not have thought about it, or should he say that he doesn't care whether we are new soldiers or veterans, he dares to fight like this, just because he is sure of success in a battle." ”

"It's not a simple siege, he's definitely still thinking about calculating more. Since the other party has not taken Mengcheng for a long time, there is no doubt that their real purpose must be to set the city. ”

"If we want to do this, 30,000 horses will definitely not be enough, but where are the rest of the men and horses hidden? Our spies have searched a radius of hundreds of miles, and except for the direction in which Yang Fanhai is going, we have not seen a single person at all. ”

"Maybe we all guessed wrong, there are really people there where Yang Fanhai went!" said the bearded man.

In fact, he was also confused by the other party's actions at the moment, 30,000 horses besieged the city, and his own army arrived, but he had no intention of withdrawing, and he had no fear.

Although he is a military general, he is only a personal bravery, leading with experience, and he is good at head-on combat. Once the other party used thaumaturgy, his personal coping ability was even inferior to Xu Fan.

"Report!"

Someone rode a horse and galloped, and did not stop until under the wooden platform, turned over and dismounted, and said loudly on his knees: "Tell General Cai, Captain Yang Fanhai asked his subordinates to reply: There are no horses, it is Changguo who is playing tricks." ”

The beard raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask, Xu Fan shook his head: "Don't worry, if it's really okay, Yang Fanhai shouldn't let just one person deliver the letter." ”

Within a few moments, four more returned, all with the same message.

Looking at the battlefield ahead, the beard took a deep breath, finally made a decision, and said in a deep voice: "Stalemate is not the way, since there are no enemy reinforcements around, then attack!"

The herald was immediately called, and the orders were passed down one by one to start the battle.

"Kill!"

With a shout, the two legions in front of each approached and killed the back of the Changguo army, and the legions in the southeast that were originally on guard also began to approach in the direction of Mengcheng.

The Changguo army left 5,000 men and horses to defend the direction of Mengcheng, and the other horses turned back to fight, and they became a mess with the Jiguo army in an instant.

One side is both veterans, the other side is a new soldier, and after the confrontation, it can be seen that the Changguo army has the advantage.

However, Mengcheng was open in all directions, which was conducive to attacking. Worried that the stalemate in the battle would be unfavorable to his side, he also led the Chinese army out to kill him. Then echoing with the other three legions, they formed an encirclement to besiege the Changguo army.

"Kill!"

The gate of Mengcheng opened, and some defenders rushed out, wanting to receive reinforcements. But the strength was limited, and the Changguo army had already prepared, and they killed those men and horses in an instant.

It's just that once the encirclement is closed, no one dares to bear the consequences. Although the Changguo army was not inferior, it had to start fighting and retreating.

The army attacked, and the brave won. Even though there are many veterans in Changguo, this is by no means a good time to retreat, and for a while, the formation is scattered, and it is difficult to respond to the front and back, resulting in countless casualties.

In just a moment, the siege of Mengcheng was lifted, and the beard led the army to force the Changguo people and horses to five miles away from Mengcheng.

Xu Fan looked at the direction of Meng Cheng at the tail of the army and was a little distracted, and after a long time, his face changed greatly, as if he had thought of something, and shouted loudly: "Quick, come quickly, block the city gate for me." ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, puzzled, but they knew it immediately.

"Bang", the city gate opened, a large number of people rushed out of Mengcheng, the flag was flying, it was the Changguo people, the leader was a big man, holding a big knife, a scar on his face, from the left side of the face to the right face, as if the whole head was cut off. At first glance, it is extremely hideous.

"Guillotine Liu Wei!"

Someone exclaimed, looking afraid.

Among the rising stars of Changguo, there are three murderers. One of them is the violent slaughter of the thunder leopard, which is now dead. The second is the guillotine Liu Wei, who was first named because of a scar on his face that seemed to cut off his head, and then because this person likes to decapitate the most when he kills.

I thought that this place was just a random group of people in Changguo, but I never thought that he was the leader of the army, let alone that the other party actually hid all the men and horses in Mengcheng.

The guillotine Liu Wei led the army to rush out of Mengcheng, slashed down a soldier of the Ji Kingdom with one sword, pointed the big knife in his hand to the front, and shouted loudly.

"Old man Cai, the revenge of the past is here to avenge it today!

Outside the city of Mengcheng, it turned into a purgatory on earth in an instant.
