In the vast and vast Qingliang Mountain, only scattered wild flowers have not faded away, and many branches are hung with heavy fruits, pressing the branches to the ground. An adult can easily catch the fruits on the branches as long as they stand on the ground. . On a secluded mountain road, a group of cavalry was rushing northward, and because of the rough road, they were not much faster than the infantry.
An officer wearing a bright light armor urged the soldiers loudly: "Quick, quick, speed up."
"General Man, the road is uneven, and the curve is big, it's not easy to walk!" His soldier grumbled.
"The road is uneven?" Man Gui was furious. "You didn't see His Royal Highness picking up Wang Er's bandits like cutting leeks? Do you want them to be cut by others?"
The soldier didn't know what speed up had to do with cutting the leeks, but Man Gui was angry, and he had to obey: "Yes, General Man, we will speed up."
Another officer wearing a bright light armor urged the horse a few steps to catch up with Man Gui in front of him: "General Man, why is there no bandit?" It was Liu Yushuan, commander of the Fenwuying Cavalry Guard, who spoke.
"These bandits are all tofu. Hearing that the imperial army is coming, they hid in his mother's crotch a long time ago. Don't worry, throw out the wandering horses, and see where the bandits go out of the city first." Man Gui slowed down. , Glanced back and forth, looking very unwilling.
"The Ranger has been released a long time ago, and there has been no response yet." Liu Yushuan replied immediately.
"It doesn't matter, go to the designated place first, and pay attention to the horses not to raise dust." Man Gui beat the horses fiercely, and came to the forefront of the team. He couldn't find the bandits. He was more anxious than anyone.
These three thousand cavalry stopped in the valley ahead.
"Except for the soldiers on guard, everyone dismounts and rests. Time is a stick of incense. After a stick of incense, regardless of whether there is a message to return, they must mount and be ready to attack at any time." Man Gui sullenly, and took the lead to dismount. He folded a small branch and held it in his hand, and kept beating the small stone under the seat.
"General Man, the soldiers rushed all the way, very tired, let them rest for a while! It won't be too late to get on the horse after the ranger sends back the message." Liu Yushuan begged.
"Now they are all Lao Tzu's soldiers, accepting Lao Tzu's command, don't be long-winded!" Man Gui's mouth was open, and his Adam's apple was swimming violently. "If there is no message to return, no matter how good I rest in the evening, I am still hungry and late, and I don't even have to drink any soup."
Liu Yushuan shrank his neck, never daring to speak again.
In the valley of the open space, soldiers lay arrogantly. In order to save time, they did not untie their armor. Instead, they slept with their clothes on the grass, rocks, or leaning against the tree trunks on the side of the road. Anyway, how comfortable they were.
The soldiers serving as logisticians cannot rest yet. They have to take buckets to the mountains to find spring water.
When the time for a stick of incense was up, the soldiers climbed onto the horses, Man Gui was at the forefront of the team, and Liu Yushuan was right behind him.
"Da, da, da." The monotonous sound of horses' hoofs quickly broke the silence of Konggu, and Liu Yushuan's heart tightened.
"General Man, the bandits are out of the city." To the northwest, a ranger finally returned.
"Where's the bandit?" Man Gui rode his horse and rushed to the front of the ranger. Who trained this ranger, why couldn't he finish it all at once? When the battle is over, the boss must withdraw your qualifications as a Ranger.
"Anzhai, the bandit soldiers have left the city and are facing General Yuan in the south of the city." The Ranger bowed on his horse, already out of breath, and pointed his finger in the direction of Anzhai City.
"Anzhai?" Man Gui muttered to himself. He suddenly pushed away the wandering horse in front of him and galloped. "Zhang Heng and Wang Qiang will follow me. Commander Liu took Wang Huan and detoured to the north gate. Anzhai broke through. , The bandits must flee from the north gate."
To the south of Anzhai City, Yuan Chonghuan and Li Bie are arguing, and when they see a disagreement, they will use their swords. Suddenly, horseshoes in the northeast corner, thick smoke billowing, a team of cavalry straight into Libie's rear team.
"It's not good, it's a hit." Don't be surprised, Li, why are there so many cavalry in the army? Before he could think about it, he turned his horse's head and rushed towards the southern city gate.
Man Gui personally took the big head, more than two thousand cavalry directly chased the city gate.
Li Bie is the main general of Anzhai second only to Wang Zuohuan, and the defenders at the head of the city dare not open the city gate. But as soon as the city gate opened, the defeated soldiers ran into the city desperately, blocking the narrow gate. Regardless of the bandits who were alone, Man Gui rushed directly to the city gate.
"Quickly close the city gate, quickly close the city gate." The defending leader shouted loudly, but it was no longer effective. The bandits squeezed at the city gate like a snail, and the city gate couldn't close.
Man Gui's cavalry had chased the city gate hole, and they kept reaping the lives of the bandits. In order to escape, the bandits desperately squeezed into the city, hoping to squeeze out a living passage.
The passage was squeezed out, but the city gate was completely opened.
Man Gui was not willing to let go of this excellent opportunity, and the two thousand cavalry marched forward bravely. Some of the bandits outside the city gate were killed by Man Gui's cavalry, and some fled into the city. Man Gui followed the escape channel of the bandits into the city. He killed the defenders in front of the city gate and completely occupied the southern city gate.
It took only a few minutes from Mangui to the gate of the city until he seized the gate. Only then did Yuan Chonghuan react, and he shouted at the soldiers: "What are you still doing in a daze? Enter the city."
Yuan Chonghuan’s soldiers defended the South City Gate, and Man Gui was free. He took the cavalry and chased the bandits in the city frantically. Man Gui who is hungry, how can he let go of this excellent opportunity? He wants to eat all at once, as long as there are no bandits who kneel to surrender, Man Gui will be killed.
The streets are full of chickens and dogs, and the bandits are running around, but how can the speed of the infantry be comparable to that of the cavalry? The bandits found that they could not escape the pursuit, so they hid themselves into the houses and escaped for their lives.
When Wang Zuohuan heard that the Nancheng Gate had been lost, he was so shocked that he couldn't even hold weapons with his hands.
"General, hurry up, the officers and soldiers have entered the city." The soldiers dragged Wang Zuo on the horse and fled from the northern city gate.
"This is full of gui, the meat is eaten by him, but I can't drink the soup." Liu Yushuan shook his head and smiled bitterly when he came to the outside of Beicheng.
Suddenly a small group of cavalry came out of the city and galloped north. "How come there are cavalry in the city? Is it Wang Zuohuan?" Liu Yushuan yelled excitedly, and he personally led people to chase the cavalry.
Seeing getting closer, but the cavalry in front did not stop.
"Li Pan, archery, shoot the leader." Liu Yushuan yelled anxiously.
Li Pan was originally a subordinate of Li Hongjun. He was transferred to the Cavalry Guard because he won the championship in the Fenwuying archery competition. When he won the championship, he shot the copper coin thrown in the air. Now he is facing a man and a horse. If he misses the shot, he will have no face to stay in the cavalry guard.
With a "swish", an arrow hit the back of the heart, showing through the chest. The man fell from the horse with an "ah" sound, and rolled on the ground, and there was no sound.
When the guards around him were about to come to rescue, Liu Yushuan brought the cavalry to kill him early, and then cut four more, before the other few bandits flee north.
Yuan Chonghuan had completely occupied Anzhai County. In addition to those killed and surrendered, more than two thousand bandits fled.
Liu Yushuan took out the cut off head, took it back to the city, and asked the bandits to identify it as Wang Zuohuan. Liu Yushuan was overjoyed. Although he did not break the city, beheading the bandits and soldiers is also a great achievement.
Yuan Chonghuan blamed Man Gui for robbing him, and was about to scold him, but Man Gui hugged him: "Brother, you have to eat meat, you have to let me have some soup, don't you?"
Yuan Chonghuan was frustrated, could not laugh, could not be annoyed, could not curse, so he had to grab his right hand and punch Man Gui's shoulder three times, which was regarded as venting his dissatisfaction, "Next, I want to settle the people in the city. Do you still want to fight with me? grab?"
"Never, brother, how can I grab my brother's job?" Man Gui quipped four fingers, and pointed his thumb out of the door, "Brother, how far I can go, will never delay your business, brother." Then he turned to Liu Yushuan. Bolt waved his hand: "Go, let's go back to the forest."
Liu Yushuan saluted Yuan Chonghuan and was about to leave with Man Gui.
"No, you have to go and keep the head of Wang Zuo." Yuan Chonghuan quit, the battle of Anzhai, he was the supreme commander, and all the merits of this battle belonged to him. If Liu Yusu directly handed the head of Wang Zuohang to Zhu Youjian, then there would be nothing of him, Yuan Chonghuan.
Liu Yusuo looked at Man Gui but hesitated. Man Gui's big mouth opened: "Brother, I have to let my elder brother do a good job in front of King Xin, right? Besides, it is indeed our cavalry who killed the people." After that, he slapped Liu Yusab.
Liu Yuzha knew how to say goodbye to Yuan Chonghuan, and quietly withdrew from the two of them while he was arguing with Man Gui. After leaving the camp, he immediately mounted his horse, hung the head of Wang Zuo on the horse, and flew east with his cavalry.
Man Gui and Yuan Chonghuan grumbled, and it was estimated that Liu Yushu had already gone far, and only then gave their hands to Yuan Chonghuan.
In the northeast of Anzhai, Man Gui caught up with Liu Yushe.
"General Man, what's the use of Wang Zuohang's head? Why didn't the general give it to General Yuan?" Liu Yusu is Man Gui's subordinate, and Man Gui's qualifications are too far apart. Of course he dare not fight Yuan Chonghuan. .
"Boy, I study hard with the general. You haven't fought any battles. Following the general with me, not only can you drink the soup, but the meat will not lose you." If it wasn't right away, Man Gui would definitely touch Liu Yu. Bolt the children's heads. However, this Liu Yuzha was still clever, as long as he winked, he knew that he would run away with Wang Zuohang's head.
"General Man, I really don't know what the first level is. I don't know what the use of this first level is. Is it true that His Royal Highness will write down the great merits for us?" Liu Yusu still admired Man Gui's decisiveness very much, stupefied to grab Yuan Chonghuan's hands. After the great feat of capturing the city, Man Gui did not regard the cavalry as an auxiliary to the infantry at all.
"Don't worry, there will be meat to eat at that time, this general can't do without you." Man Gui also pretended to sink deeply.
"That is, General Man is a role model for the whole army, how can he lose his subordinates." Liu Yushuan put on the top hat in time, he knew that it would be sooner or later to follow Man Gui and make meritorious service.
