And on a small hill not far away from the city, a soldier in the armor of the Guiyang Army army was lying on the hill and looking at the distant city of Chenzhou. After watching for a while, the soldier shook the ground, rolling down the hill. Under the hill, there was a war horse tied up, and it was gnawing the few withered grass honestly.
The soldier got up from the ground, and he didn't care to pat off the dust on his body. He turned on his horse sharply, pulled the rein hard, and ran away in the direction opposite to Chenzhou City.
After running for about a hundred miles, a bamboo forest appeared in front of him. The soldier pulled the reins and stopped the horse. Then he turned over and jumped off the horse. He ran quickly without stopping. Into the bamboo forest. At the moment the soldier ran into the bamboo forest, a few cold rays suddenly appeared in the bamboo forest, but they disappeared soon.
Regarding the cold light, the soldier turned a blind eye and continued to rush towards the bamboo forest. Although the bamboo forest is very dense, the soldier's footsteps are very flexible. He turned left and right. The speed did not decrease at all, and he arrived at the bamboo forest in a blink of an eye. deep.
From the outside, no one thought that there would be a large open space inside this lush bamboo forest. It's just that this open space is now full of camps, and at least one or two thousand people are stationed here.
It seems to have known that the soldiers are coming, and a few generals in sophisticated armor walked out of the camp, among them a civilian in official robes. These people hurried over to meet the soldiers. When the soldier saw these people, he rushed to them and knelt down directly and shouted: "The little one has seen the general and the adults."
One of the bearded generals seemed to be impatient, and shouted in a bluff: "Okay, don't talk so much nonsense. Say! How is the situation in the city now? Are those Wugong mountain troops out of the city?"
"Return to the general." The soldier bowed his head and shouted, "The Wugong Mountain Army has been stationed in the city, and it seems that there is no sign of leaving the city."
Hearing what the soldiers said, the general's face was immediately full of disappointment, and he snorted coldly, but the civilian on the side smiled slightly and said to the general: "The general is not anxious. How can Shan Hongfei say that he is also a general of Wugongshan, how can it be? Will it be so easy to be fooled? Let's just follow the first plan."
"My lord is very true." Another general nodded. Although he was different from the general, he did not have a beard on his face, but he had a scar on his face, which looked terrifying. The general waved his hand to the soldier, and said: "You go back quickly and continue the investigation. If there is any situation, you can report it."
After receiving the military order, the soldier immediately retreated, and the General Scar turned his head and said to the Lord Hao: "Master Hao, now Shan Hongfei is stationed in Chenzhou City. Looking at this situation, he will definitely be there tomorrow morning. Will set off for the Guiyang Army. How should we respond?"
The Lord Hao smiled faintly and said: "The two generals are in no rush. Although we have accumulated a few cities now, it is obviously not enough to deal with Shan Hongfei. I have already sent someone to inform Linjiang Military City before. I must pass it through. Your lord will soon send Master Shi to send reinforcements. When the reinforcements of the Master and the Economic Envoy meet, we will come to deal with Shan Hongfei."
After hearing Master Hao's words, the scarred-faced General Lu couldn't wait for reinforcements to arrive immediately, so he could go to war with the enemy. But after thinking for a moment, the scarred General Lu calmed down. He frowned and asked: "Master Hao, can Master Shi really send reinforcements? As far as I know, the main force in Guiyang Army City is still To defend the city, it cannot be mobilized, and the garrison of the Guiyang Army Beiguan is only 5,000 people. At the same time, it is also necessary to guard against the main force of the Wugong Mountain Army. Does Master Shi dare to make a desperate move and send reinforcements to attack with us?" Although the five thousand people looked like a lot, there were six to seven thousand defenders in Yongxing City before, and it was not defeated by Shan Hongfei in one fell swoop. If you want to deal with Shan Hongfei, it's best to defend yourself.
Although he heard the meaning of the scarred face in General Lu’s words, Lord Hao did not get angry because of it. Instead, he replied with a smile: "General Lu, please rest assured. Master Shi is also very clear in his heart, even if It is the vanguard that can stop Shan Hongfei. With the five thousand soldiers and horses in the Beiguan city of Guiyang Army, it will definitely not be able to stop the Wugongshan army behind. For the present plan, we can only go all out, first general Shan Hong It is the best policy to completely eliminate the flying soldiers and horses. The vanguard is damaged, and the morale of the Wugongshan army behind will surely plummet. Only then will we be able to support the reinforcements sent by the ambassador."
In terms of official positions, the official position of Master Hao is higher than that of General Lu with the scarred face. In any case, the highest official position here is Master Hao. He has the authorization of Master Shi. Although General Lu of Scarface still distrusts him, he can only act according to Master Hao's orders.
One night later, as General Lu said before, after Shan Hongfei had rested in Chenzhou City for one night, early in the morning, he ordered his soldiers and horses together, left Chenzhou City, and marched towards Guiyang Army. After starting from Chenzhou, although Shan Hongfei did not lose his troops, he still left a lot of soldiers and horses in the several cities that he captured along the way. There are five thousand pioneers, and now there are only more than two thousand people left, but several times in succession. Shan Hongfei didn't need to worry about the vanguard's combat effectiveness declining, and led the vanguard to rush towards the Guiyang Army.
It takes three days to rush from Chenzhou to the Guiyang Army. As long as the Beiguan of the Guiyang Army is won, Shan Hongfei's mission as the vanguard general can be considered successfully completed. It's just that these two consecutive wins without a fight made Shan Hongfei feel very unhappy, and Shan Hongfei still didn't believe in this evil. Don't those Guiyang Army troops still dare to let the Guiyang Army Beiguan out
Thinking like this in his heart, Shan Hongfei didn't completely think about the reasons for it, and he was worried about whether there was fraud. But last night, Shan Hongfei thought about it for a long time, and asked the soldiers to arrest several people in the city for questioning, but he didn't ask about it. If he didn't understand the joints, it was impossible for Shan Hongfei to hesitate just because of this. Therefore, in Shan Hongfei's opinion, he only has to be more careful on this road.
After making this decision, Shan Hongfei also put a lot of effort into reconnaissance. At least he sent hundreds of scouts to explore the way ahead, and only if there were no problems, he would move on. After walking like this for a day, it seems that no accidents happened. Shan Hongfei was even a little surprised. Did he guess wrong. Are those enemy guards really so simple that they escaped just because they were timid
Shan Hongfei looked at the front nervously. The sky was dark. Shan Hongfei had already set up his soldiers on the spot and prepared to rest. Most of the scouts sent out before have come back and have not received any useful news. It seems that today There should be nothing at night. Feeling peaceful, Shan Hongfei turned around and prepared to return to the camp, but at this moment, a soldier who had been guarding behind Shan Hongfei suddenly widened his eyes, looked at the outside of the camp behind Shan Hongfei, and exclaimed: "General, look."
"Huh?" Shan Hongfei turned his head back when he heard the words, but his brows were deeply squeezed together. Several cavalrymen were rushing towards here in the distance before. Shan Hongfei's eyesight was not bad, and he could tell at a glance that those cavalry were the scouts sent out before. And those scouts were obviously wounded. Several arrows were stuck in one of them.
There is a situation! Shan Hongfei, who was a little slack just now, immediately tightened his face, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Through our military order, the whole army is on guard!"
Hearing Shan Hongfei's order, the soldier couldn't help but was taken aback, but he quickly followed Shan Hongfei's order to execute it. But Shan Hongfei himself went straight to the entrance of the camp, waiting for the scouts to arrive. After a while, the scouts rushed to Shan Hongfei. When they saw Shan Hongfei, the expressions of these scouts were obviously loosened. Among them, the scout with a few arrows stuck in his body was simply crooked. , Fell off the horse directly.
Seeing this, Shan Hongfei quickly pointed to the injured scout and shouted to the people behind him: "Quick! Quick! Take him to the military doctor for treatment. There are also some of you, who are not slightly injured, too. Hurry up and bandage it up." Shan Hongfei said the next few words to the scouts who jumped off their horses. They have more or less wounds on their bodies, and the blood has soaked the clothes next to the wounds. A, looking at their pale faces, I'm afraid they also shed a lot of blood.
Although Shan Hongfei's concern moved these scouts very much, it is not the time to bandage the wounds. One of the scouts hurriedly stepped forward and shouted at Shan Hongfei: "General, it's not good. There are a lot of soldiers and horses in front. Yes. The banner of the Guiyang Army. It’s coming here."
"Guiyang Army Corps." Shan Hongfei's face changed again. Although he saw the appearance of these scouts before, he knew that he had encountered an enemy army, but after learning the news from the scouts, Shan Hongfei Still couldn't help being surprised. Busily asked the scout, "How many are there in the enemy army? How far is it from here?"
The scout quickly replied: "The villain initially estimated that the enemy has at least five thousand or even more. When the villain encountered the enemy, it was half an hour ago. Based on the estimate of the distance, I am afraid that it will not be able to pass. With three sticks of incense, the enemy will arrive."
"Tsk!" Shan Hongfei's expression darkened, over five thousand? If the previous intelligence is correct, the defenders of the Guiyang Army's Beiguan will only have 5,000 men. Could it be that the guard at Beiguan of the Guiyang Army dared to go out of the city to fight with him? This is too ridiculous, right? Shan Hongfei arranged the scouts to rest, but he himself mobilized the soldiers in the camp to start the defense. Anyway, let's fight back those enemy troops first. Five thousand men and horses want to defeat me, Shan Hongfei? Humph. dream.
Today’s Shimen Army can be regarded as one of the most elite divisions in the world. Although Shan Hongfei’s orders were rushed, the Shimen Army’s soldiers were executed very well. Soon, more than two thousand soldiers held their weapons in order. The ground guarded in front of the camp. Although according to the scout's intelligence, the opponent may have more soldiers and horses than the Shimen Army, but Shan Hongfei has the confidence that he can repel the enemy even without relying on the camp.
As soon as the Shimen Army's army formation was set up, Shan Hongfei heard the sound of killing from the front. When he looked up, he saw that a soldier and horse were moving towards here, riding in the light of the setting sun. Rushed. At the forefront of this soldier and horse, several flags were fluttering in the wind. As a master, Shan Hongfei's eyesight is of course much better than that of ordinary people. He squinted his eyes and saw that most of those banners were written with a big "Hao" character.
"Hao? It should be under the command of Master Shi, the leader of the Guiyang Army? Unexpectedly, it is really a soldier and horse of the Guiyang Army." Shan Hongfei's eyes flashed a cold light, and the Qinglong sword in his hand became tighter and colder. Hummed: "Ready to fight."
Looking at the neat Shimen army in front, Master Shi, the leader of the Guiyang army in the middle of the Guiyang army, couldn't help but admire: "This is the No. 1 general on Jinghu Lake Road. It is indeed well-deserved. In such a short period of time, he can still organize a battle. No wonder I was able to break through the Yongxing City that was guarded by General Yan. If I were to defend against the city, I would say whether I could block his attack."
"My lord, why bother to praise that Shan Hongfei too much? Just let the final general step forward and capture the man alive." A fierce general behind Shi Daren shouted, apparently saying that he was very unwilling to praise Shan Hongfei just now. Convinced, he raised the gold hammer in his hand and wanted to shoot immediately.
"Naughty." Master Shi glared at the general and yelled: "That Shan Hongfei, as the number one general on North Jinghu Road, has extraordinary martial arts. Did you never hear that he was under the Yingshan Army Camp, and Zhao Yan and Lin Yuhu fought together. The Southern Song official army, Lei Bangbao, killed the Lei Bangbao and fled. How can this kind of martial arts be your opponent? Since our army has an advantage in numbers, it only needs to be suppressed by a large army. Just go up. No matter how powerful Shan Hongfei is, there is only one person. We only need to defeat his vanguard army. Come on! Pass our military order-charge!"
"Accomplished." The military order of Master Shi was passed on immediately. The Guiyang army team that received the military order of Master Shi also accelerated the pace of advance again. Most of the soldiers even showed their weapons, ready to fight the Shimen in front. The army killed a lot.
Although the Golden Hammer General was unwilling, he didn't dare to defy Master Shi's order, so he could only retreat back. As for General Shi, he did not rush forward with the soldiers under his hands. He stared at the proud figure ahead, with cold light flashing in his eyes, and hummed: "Shan Hongfei. You are indeed amazing, but you are here in Guiyang. Show off on the land of the army? First step on my corpse."
On the other side, Shan Hongfei coldly watched the Guiyang army rushing forward. Shan Hongfei sneered, but instead of putting down the Qinglong sword, he flipped his hand, but an iron bow appeared. , The other hand leaned into the arrow box on his back, and directly drew an arrow. The bow was bent and the arrow was thrown, and the arrow flew out from Shan Hongfei’s iron bow, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the front of a soldier of the Guiyang Army. He made any response, and the arrow went straight through his throat.
However, Shan Hongfei did not stop, holding the iron bow in one hand, and repeatedly taking out the arrows from the quiver in the other hand, and then placing them on the iron bow to shoot them. In a blink of an eye, an arrow was full of arrows. The arrow of the box was so shot by Shan Hongfei. This adds up to at least more than fifty arrows, but the arrows hit, which is not uncommon. Although the lives of these fifty-odd people were nothing among the thousands of people in the Guiyang Army, the shock to the soldiers of the Guiyang Army was enormous.
You know, at this moment, Shan Hongfei is still four to five hundred steps away from the Guiyang army. Ordinary people’s arrows can’t shoot that far. However, Shan Hongfei’s arrows can not only reach this range, but also every time. It can hit with one arrow, which shows that Shan Hongfei's archery skills are very good.
On the other hand, the Shimen generals behind Shan Hongfei, although they knew that their generals had such magic skills, they were so excited to see them again. They all held up their weapons and shouted in unison.
