Until the remaining horse bandits in Yingzui Rock disappeared on the horizon for a long time, the mood of the Lucheng frontier army was still shaken and could not be recovered for a long time. However, after more than three hundred people had experienced a hard battle, the exhausted opponents easily broke through the first

The three military formations built by the 3,000 soldiers of the second battalion. If the opponent's more than 2,000 cavalry surged forward in their heyday, can the more than 10,000 Lu city frontier troops now withstand the opponent's powerful attack?

Sima Rui stared at the place where Yun Zhao and others disappeared. After a long time, he sighed and said: "Fortunately, fortunately!" He did not say what he was lucky about.

Qiao Zifang was ashamed. After gathering the scattered Second Battalion, he was shocked to find that the Second Battalion, which had more than 3,000 people, had killed more than 800 people in this short but thrilling battle.

, more than a quarter, already severely damaged.

"General Sima, the last general, the last general has no place to be ashamed." Qiao Zifang knelt down on one knee. Qiao Zifang himself was not a completely incompetent person, otherwise he would not have sat in the position of the second battalion general, but today he

One battle completely knocked him out of his wits.

Sima Rui looked down at him, feeling the urge to kick him over and then step on him, but a smile appeared on his face, "It doesn't matter, General Qiao, know your shame and then be brave. I hope the second battalion

After today’s battle, there has been a radical change.”

"Thank you, General, for your kindness." Qiao Zifang kowtowed heavily.

"Get up and gather the second battalion as the rear army!" Sima Rui said calmly.

Qu Lu walked over, glanced at Shen Feng hanging on the flagpole, and said in a low voice: "General Sima, Shen Feng's words are conclusive. Do the Mongolian army really have this plan? Should we return to Lucheng immediately?"

Sima Rui looked at Qu Lu with a half-smile, "Why, General Qu, do you believe this old guy's nonsense?"

Qu Lu paused and said: "General Sima, although Shen Feng is a horse bandit, but, but..." He hesitated, gritted his teeth and said: "If the Mongolian army hadn't really made any big move against Lucheng, he

Why did he throw himself into a trap? He could actually escape."

Sima Rui pointed at the thousands of family members of the horse bandits who were tied up in the rear army, "For them, he just wanted to deceive us and rescue these bandit families. Hum, I'm not that stupid. Dai Viet signed a contract with the Mongolians

The non-aggression pact has only been signed for a few years, so how can we break it and make the Mongolians really have the guts to go to war with Vietnam?"

"Even so, it's better for us to be more cautious." Qu Lu said.

Sima Rui was displeased, "General Qu, do you not believe in my judgment?"

"I don't dare." Qu Lu lowered his head.

The ground suddenly trembled, and Shen Feng on the flagpole suddenly shouted again, "The Mongols are coming, the Mongolian army is coming, Sima Rui, you are not ready to fight, do you want the entire army to be destroyed? Do you want to call

Is this bit of seed in Lucheng completely ruined? Get ready for battle!"

Qu Lu, Wang Zhuang, Ding Jian and others suddenly raised their heads and looked at Shen Feng who was shouting crazily on the flagpole. Then they looked at the horizon in the distance, dust was flying, and the cavalry of the brigade had appeared in the field of vision.

"General Sima, no matter whether the other party has malicious intentions or not, we must be prepared for battle, just in case!" Wang Qiang said loudly.

Ding Jian and Qu Lu also nodded in agreement, "General Sima, give the order. If the other party has evil intentions and we don't take precautions, we will suffer big losses."

Sima Rui's face was gloomy, and his three generals said in unison, obviously unsure of their own judgment. Looking at the anxious eyes of the three men, they nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, prepare to fight! Third battalion, fourth battalion, fifth battalion." The finished battalion is deployed in a zigzag formation, and the second battalion is in reserve."

"yes!"

Four battalions will leave quickly.

"Come here!" Sima Rui shouted.

A soldier stepped forward in response, "General, what are your orders?"

"Take a few people and ask the Mongolian general on the opposite side. The Yingzuiyan horse bandits have been completely killed. Why are they not retreating and still approaching our border with Vietnam?"

"yes!"

Several cavalrymen quickly met the Mongolian cavalry in the distance.

"Sima Rui, you can't set up the formation like this." Shen Feng on the flagpole shouted loudly as he watched the Lucheng border troops mobilize their formations and the three battalions were arranged in a zigzag formation.

"Shut up, you're just a horse bandit. Does he know what fighting with a large army is? I don't need you to teach me. If you dare to talk, I will shoot you into a hedgehog."

Shen Feng was unmoved, "Sima Rui, have you forgotten just now that your battalion was defeated by less than 300 of us? They are not the first battalion that has experienced battles for a long time. These are new recruits. New soldiers. There are large tent soldiers on the opposite side. If you set up the formation like this, they will only attack them one by one."

Sima Rui's heart skipped a beat.

"Gather together, gather all the troops together, form a large phalanx, gather all the crossbows together, don't scatter them, give them a surprise blow when the opponent launches their first attack, give them a It's so cruel." Shen Feng shouted hoarsely. "Everyone must gather together and form a ball, so that the opponent will not defeat them one by one."

Seeing Sima Rui lowering his head and thinking silently, Shen Feng became anxious and shouted: "Sima Rui, hurry up, hurry up, otherwise it will be too late!"

Raising his head, Sima Rui said to the messenger, "Send the order to Qu Lu, Wang Zhuang, and Ding Jian. The three battalions will be combined into one. Qu Lu will be the commander. Gather all the crossbows and prepare for battle!"

The herald glanced at Sima Rui in surprise, turned around and ran away.

"Put this old dog down for me." Sima Rui shouted, "Drag it over here!"

Shen Feng was hit by arrows in both legs and could not stand. He was dragged by two soldiers to Sima Rui. Looking at Shen Feng, Sima Rui said with a ferocious smile: "Old dog, if it wasn't what you said today, I would have killed you right away. Use your head as a ball!"

Shen Feng looked calm, "Sima Rui, you're not too stupid. Just wait and see. When the attack starts here, I'm afraid that Lucheng has already started. The first battalion hasn't come. I don't know if they can withstand it." .Sima Rui, you have been deceived. You have been deceived by others. If you lose Lucheng, just wait for someone from the court to chop your head off! Lucheng has never fallen since it was built."

Sima Rui snorted and slapped Shen Feng on the face with his backhand, "The old dog really can't spit out ivory from its mouth."

At the front of the position, although they were a little surprised by Sima Rui's sudden change of formation, the three battalion generals immediately gathered nearly 10,000 soldiers from the third battalion into a large and dense square formation, and nearly a hundred crossbows from the entire army were also gathered. Together.

Qu Lu let out a long breath. Although it was not enough to win now, there was no problem in protecting himself. Looking at the Mongolian army getting closer and closer, Qu Lu's heart was in his throat. Come on.

Is Shen Feng really right? If the Mongolian army here launches an attack on our own army, then there will definitely be more enemies attacking Lucheng in the direction of Lucheng. Only the first battalion of Lu Can the city be blocked?

I hope this is all Shen Feng's nonsense.

Three miles away from the frontier army in Lucheng, the Mongolian army stopped advancing. Looking at the dense military formation on the opposite side, Sihan smiled and said to Jamuhe: "Sir, this Sima Rui is very cautious, and he is actually on guard against us. Extremely strict.”

Jamuka snorted, "Where are the horse bandits from Yingzui Rock? Did they run away?"

Sihan pointed to the center of the battlefield, "Look, sir, there are corpses everywhere in those places, and the blood has not yet dried. It seems that although the horse bandits encountered Sima Rui, they broke through and left. Sima Rui did not stay." them."

Jamukha shook his head, "It's really useless. You calculated with your heart but not your heart, and you actually let your opponent run away."

"Sir, there are people coming from the other side!" Sihan pointed to the opposite side. Three cavalrymen were holding the flag of the Lucheng border army and were galloping towards this side.

Zhamuquan chuckled lightly and said to Sihan: "Sihan, do you want to show off your archery skills in front of your subordinates? I am too lazy to say anything more to them. At this time, Lucheng is about to start. Come on!"

Sihan laughed and said: "Playing with bows and arrows in front of Lord Jamuka is like a special skill. It's good that Lord Jamukha can give guidance to the generals."

He took off the iron bow, twisted three feather arrows in his right hand, strung the arrows, and aimed at the three cavalrymen running in the distance.

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, ninety steps, three swish, swish, and three arrows shot out from the string. The three cavalrymen coming from the opposite side were unprepared. The three arrows shot out like lightning, killing the three of them immediately. Falling, the body turned over and fell to the ground. The three empty horses neighed, turned a corner, and ran back.

"Good archery skills!" Jamukha clapped his hands and said with a smile: "General Sihan, how about I leave the first mission to you?"

"It's an honor!" Sihan laughed, "Please let Master Jamuka raid the formation and see how I deal with these large Vietnamese soft-legged crabs."

As the three cavalrymen fell off their horses, the blood in the minds of Qu Lu, Wang Zhuang, and Ding Jian at the forefront rushed to their heads. "Get ready to fight!" Qu Lu shouted loudly.

"Get ready to fight!" Wang Zhuang and Ding Jian responded loudly.

The soldiers on the front line shouted and took a step forward. A mountain of guns was immediately set up.

Like a ladle of cold water poured down from the top of his head, his head was cold all the way to his heart. Sima Rui grabbed the saddle with his hand, and the veins on his hand were exposed. As expected, Shen Feng was right. He had bad intentions. Someone was here to deal with him. Then Where is Lu Cheng? Looking back at Lu Cheng, his body trembled involuntarily.

"Calm down!" Shen Feng, who was tied behind his back and sitting on the ground, looked at Sima Rui. "You are the commander of an army. You can't show any cowardice. You can't control what happens to Lucheng now. Defeat the enemy in front of you first. Jamuhe The big tent troops suffered heavy losses in the battle with me at Yingbiyan. The first one to attack must be the Gorgos tribe. Seize this opportunity and give them a show of strength first. If we don’t defeat the current enemy, we can’t talk about anything else. Never do two things at once."

Sima Rui looked at Shen Feng with a complicated expression. Only then did he truly believe Shen Feng, "Although we are enemies and we are incompatible, I still admire you. It's a pity." Sima Rui knew that if Shen Feng refused to force the horse bandits to leave, and when the two sides were fighting fiercely, the Mongolian army arrived, and it was completely over. He was a hero, but he had to kill him. No matter whether he wins or loses this battle, he will kill him.

"For your sake, I won't embarrass the family members of your horse bandits. Come and let those people go. Whether they can escape depends on their luck!" Sima Rui ordered.
