Great Military Division

Flutter.

The sound of leaves trembling sounded one after another.

From the lush forest, a head covered with green branches and leaves protruded. He turned his head and saw his army approaching. He breathed a sigh of relief and let out a faint smile:
"Lieutenant Tan, but the general is back?"

Deng Peng took a deep breath and hurriedly asked.

He has been hiding here for a whole day, and the cold and damp environment made him a little unbearable. If it wasn't for the military order, he would really be scolding his mother.

"came back."

Tan Xiong nodded affirmatively: "It's right behind."

Deng Peng was ecstatic in his heart: "I'm finally back, if I go down, I must die here."

Tan Xiong asked curiously, "Why, are you scared?"

"No."

Deng Peng shook his head and said softly: "It's a bit cold at night, and there are wolves howling, so I dare not start a fire at will. Let's finish the task quickly and find a place to rest. That's the right way."

Tan Xiong patted Deng Peng's shoulder: "General, you have worked hard, don't worry, the battle will start soon, oh yes, did that person leave from here?"

"kindness."

Deng Peng nodded: "These barbarians are indeed powerful. They are flying in the mountains and forests as fast as lightning. I believe they will come back soon, just in time for us to catch them all."

call-

Tan Xiong let out a long breath, and said in disbelief: "General Zhou really predicted things like a god, everything is as he expected."

Even Deng Peng himself could not help but nod in agreement: "Yes! The general is indeed powerful, and even the time is about the same. No wonder His Majesty appointed him as the chief general of the Mandarin Duck Army."

Tan Xiongdan smiled, and said half-jokingly: "Why, are you convinced this time?"

"you boy"

Deng Peng naturally knew what Tan Xiong meant, so he punched him in the chest: "I'm already convinced, okay?"

Tan Xiong covered his heart, and said softly: "This battle is our Yuanyang Army Xuezang's first battle in two years, we must show our prestige and let the Wuxi barbarians see that even in the mountains, they are definitely no match for you and me. "

"That must be of course."

Deng Peng was full of confidence and spoke with his head held high.

"What is necessary?"

At this moment, Zhou Yu's voice came from behind.

"General."

The two hurriedly stood up to salute.

"Don't be too polite."

Zhou Yu waved his hand to signal the two to hide, and then went straight to the topic: "Captain Deng, have you surveyed the terrain yet?"

Deng Peng nodded: "Don't worry, it has been investigated."

Say it.

Deng Peng took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Yu: "This is a sketch drawn by the last general, please have a look at it."

Since Tan Xiong and others are all generals who came in from the exam, Deng Peng and other old people can't help feeling a little stressed, so they are also studying the art of war every day. This drawing of maps is the basic operation of generals. Deng Peng is naturally proficient of.

Zhou Yu took the map of the terrain and opened it to browse. It not only showed the terrain, but also marked the deployment of Deng Peng's troops. It was simple and clear, and the layout was extremely appropriate.

Even though Deng Peng was a capable general of his predecessor and was also a member of the Deng family, Zhou Yu never used powerful means to suppress him, not only because of avoiding suspicion, but also because of Deng Peng's original ability, which was relatively outstanding.

Among the generals of all levels of the Yuanyang Army, he did not lose the slightest advantage, and because he had dozens of combat experience, compared with some generals, he had an extremely obvious advantage.

"Good job."

Zhou Yu was very satisfied with this, nodded slowly, turned around and said: "Captain Tan."

Tan Xiong bowed his body and cupped his hands: "The end is here."

"Lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters and ambush on the right wing. There must be no mistakes."

"Here."

Just when Tan Xiong was about to leave.

He stopped abruptly, bowed his body and cupped his hands: "General, are we fighting for real this time, or are we pretending to fight?"

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and pondered for a long time: "If the opponent's troops are small, and less than 500 people come back to help, then it will be a fake fight. If the enemy's total strength exceeds [-], then it will be a real fight."

Tan Xiong nodded: "The general will understand."

Since Zhou Yu had sneaked into the Wuling Mountains and lost contact with Sun Jian, he had no idea what was going on with the police, so he could only guess.

If the two sides were already at war, Samoco might not have too many troops to mobilize. Since the matter was urgent, the other party would come to support him without stopping, so there were very few troops.

But if the two sides have not yet entered the state of war, then Shamoke can lead his own troops back, and even Cai Mao may send troops to help him, so there will be no shortage of troops.

And at that time, if you want to maintain the tactics of not hurting the enemy, you are deceiving yourself and others. Therefore, Zhou Yu will definitely not limit himself, he must subdue the opponent.

After Tan Xiong led his troops away, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Lieutenant Deng, how do you feel about this ambush?"

Deng Peng sighed, but didn't take it seriously: "It's too cold. Fortunately, Zhuyu powder stays more and can drive out the cold. Otherwise, the brothers will definitely not be able to persist."

Zhou Yu saw that there was no trace of resentment on Deng Peng's face, so he didn't ask any further questions. This kid is a carefree and unrestrained Tie Hanhan, and he can be used with confidence in the future.

"it is good!"

Zhou Yu patted Deng Peng on the shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief: "The climate in Jingnan is different from that in Nanyang. After this battle is over, you should think about it and try to write something about it so that you can improve the system of ambush in the forest."

Deng Peng thought it was a good thing, and nodded quickly: "Thank you, General."

Zhou Yu nodded: "Continue to ambush. If the prediction is correct, they will come soon. Samoke is a general. It is not so easy to subdue this person."

"Humph!"

Deng Peng didn't take it seriously, snorted coldly and said: "What kind of bullshit fierce general, he is just a barbarian, not worth mentioning, the final general will definitely capture him alive and present him to the general."

Zhou Yu didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of his subordinates, so he nodded: "Yes! If you can really do it, this general will personally ask for credit for you and mention your rank online."

Deng Peng was ecstatic in his heart, clasping his fists together: "The last general will surely live up to his high expectations."

This is not Zhou Yu's abuse of power.

Actually.

Deng Peng's ability alone can indeed be promoted again. Zhou Yu's doing so can be regarded as making the best use of his talents and resources. Only in this way can the mandarin duck army explode to its greatest strength.

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, took out the jerky from the cloth bag, and took out the sauce made of Zhuyu powder, dipped it in and ate a few pieces. This food is not only for replenishing physical strength, but more importantly, it can dispel the cold.

Fortunately, the Mandarin Duck Army has daily training for survival in the wild, otherwise they might not be able to withstand such a sudden situation. Only now did Zhou Yu truly understand how prescient the imperial court was in setting up these courses.

About two hours passed.

Suddenly, a swift figure rushed forward.

Zhou Yu stared intently at it, but it was his own scout. Before he could speak, he waved his hand to interrupt, and asked directly: "But someone is here?"

The scout nodded affirmatively, with a look of admiration in his eyes: "That's right, it's already here, less than three miles away from here."

"Great."

Deng Peng was ecstatic in his heart, and he was so excited that he wanted to jump up: "Samoke really led the troops here. General, you are really good at predicting things. This time it is our turn to make contributions."

"This is the fastest way back to their camp. In a hurry, Shamoke will naturally take this way. This is actually nothing. The real credit is the court. Without the information provided by them, how could we be so familiar with it? terrain."

Zhou Yu knew very well that there is no such thing as a god in this world. It is because the imperial court provided them with enough information, which allowed Zhou Yu to draw a more accurate result.

"Hurry up and get ready."

Zhou Yu gave an order, lowered his body, hid himself in the lush forest, and peeked out through the gaps in the forest.

The entire forest seemed to quiet down in an instant, and even the sound of the breeze could be heard clearly. There were faint cries and chaotic and hurried footsteps in the air.

"coming!"

Zhou Yu sniffed lightly, and suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes.

as predicted.

In the next second, soldiers in the front row rushed into the narrow road.

They walked in a hurry, stepping on the rough road, but they were as fast as lightning. They carried spears and steel forks in their hands, longbows on their backs, and quivers hanging from their waists. They were the elite of the clan at a glance.

Deng Peng beside him suddenly entered the state, slowly raised his hand, and signaled to the brothers behind him to get ready in advance, the Shenyuan crossbow slowly raised, and sharp edges protruded from the dense forest, ready to pull at any time Trigger, launch a general attack.

at the same time.

Sha Moke, who was running fast, suddenly felt a dazzling light flashing past his eyes, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong. This kind of light is fundamentally different from the sun's light.

Although, even Sha Moke himself couldn't tell what the difference was for a while, but he subconsciously became nervous, and a pair of eyes quickly swept across the dense forest on both sides.

In an instant, more than a dozen dots shining with strange light flashed across the eyes. It was the light reflected from the metal. There must be ambushes here, and there must be a lot of troops.

"Damn!"

"It's hit."

Sha Moke was so angry that he rushed to his heart, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

Now that the brigade has more than half of its soldiers and horses, looking back now, I am afraid that it will not be able to fight, and it may even affect morale, but if it is forced to charge, there may be a glimmer of life.

"brothers!"

Without hesitation, Shamoke put his spear on his back, replaced it with a longbow, drew out a feathered arrow, put it on the string, and shouted sharply: "There are ambushes in the forest, let's pass quickly, and don't love to fight."

Whoosh!
A divine arrow roared out, heading straight for the forest like a shooting star.

There was a muffled sound, the arrow missed the rattan plate, cut off the wormwood hidden on it on the spot, revealing the original appearance of the rattan plate, and even surprised the soldiers hidden behind.

"Brothers, do it!"

"Fire arrows!"

Accompanied by Zhou Yu's order.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Like a torrential rain, a wave of arrows aimed at the barbarian army in the middle of the road and directly covered them.

They were all light and fast, without any defensive equipment at all. In addition, when they were caught off guard, they could only be passively beaten and suffered a lot of damage.

The sound of piercing flesh was heard one after another, and the barbarian soldiers fell to the ground one by one. Some of them were shot with seven or eight arrows and turned into hedgehogs, dying on the spot.

Immediately there was a wailing sound from the Wuxi barbarian army, and everyone began to dodge one after another, looking for shelters such as trees and stones, trying to calm themselves down as much as possible while protecting themselves.

Have to admit.

These guys are all warriors. Faced with such a powerful wave of arrows from the Mandarin Duck Army, not many people died in battle. Of course, this has something to do with the terrain conditions, but the attributes of their warriors are even more important.

"These barbarians are really powerful!"

Even Zhou Yu himself couldn't help but be amazed by it.

Without hesitation, he ordered sonorously: "Deng Peng, hurry up and lead people down, while they don't have any formation, let me fight hand-to-hand, fight quickly, and try to capture Shamoke alive!"

Deng Peng had already made preparations, heard the order, and responded loudly: "Here! Brothers, follow me to kill!"

The entire Mandarin Duck Army let out a roar of thunder: "Kill!"

Immediately.

Keep in line one by one, rush out bravely, and start a desperate fight with Wuxi Man!

Sha Moke was still worried about the current situation, but he was relieved when he saw that the opponent rushed out without taking advantage of the terrain and shot them from a long distance.

This is not here to kill the enemy, it is clearly here to die!
Without the slightest hesitation.

Sha Moke rushed up directly, whizzed an arrow, and was blocked by the rattan plate not far away.

However, Sha Moke just felt that the opponent was well-trained, and didn't feel how brave the opponent was, so he didn't question it. He abandoned the longbow and replaced it with a spear, and rushed over.

call-

The spear's edge was like lightning, and it rushed towards the man holding the spear in front of him.

However, before his spear reached the man, he was protected by a shield.

If it's just like this, it's fine, suddenly, a weapon in the shape of a branch came one after another, aimed at his cheek, and directly attacked him.

"This is Mr. Wolf?"

Samoko was amazed.

The attack surface of this kind of weapon is very large, and the branches are all specially made weapons, shining with a strange light, one can tell at a glance that it is very sharp, once it hits, it will either kill or injure.

As a last resort, Sha Moke suddenly jumped sideways to avoid the attack of the wolf first, but what followed was the aim of the two divine kite crossbows in front of him.

hiss-!
Samok was surprised and took a deep breath.

His eyes stared like copper bells, he subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, and assumed a defensive posture with a shovel blocking the river. When the arrow suddenly hit him, he quickly swung the spear, clanging twice, and knocked the arrow away. .

You know, the Shenyuan crossbow is within thirty steps, but it is a very powerful weapon. It not only has great lethality, but also has a very high rate of fire. How strong is the strength of a person.

"What a Shamoko, it's really amazing!"

Even Deng Peng himself could not help but brighten his eyes.

They had been hidden in the snow for a full two years, and when they met such a powerful opponent in the first battle this time, the fighting spirit in Deng Peng's heart burned like a raging fire.

He bent his knees slightly, kicked the ground violently, and his whole body shot out like a cannonball, and the spear in his palm rushed out like a spirit snake, heading straight for Shamoko's face.

"I'm going to be a mother!"

Shamoke just knocked off two arrows and missed, and his body was about to stand firm. Before he even had time to fight back, he ushered in such a powerful attack again.

At this moment, Sha Moke really felt the combat effectiveness of the Mandarin Duck Army. If the opponent didn't make a move, he would attack with a flashlight and flint. The rhythm of the attack was like a wave. One wave followed another. ferocious.

If it's just a strong offensive rhythm, it's fine, the most terrible thing is that the opponent's rattan player and wolf first are always on the left and right, and their defense is also amazing.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even if he is himself, he may not be able to get a little bit of cheap in front of such a powerful formation. It is true that at this moment, Samoko has already been scared into a cold sweat.

He stepped back slightly, using the strength of his thighs to drive the strength of his waist, causing his whole body to twist quickly and sharply.

Chi Leng Leng!
The spear rubbed against the shaft of the spear, and jumped forward for more than a chi.

Although Deng Peng had no intention of killing Sha Moke, he was indeed surprised that the other party was able to avoid his all-out attack.

"Fuck!"

"Twice!"

After a moment of suppression, Deng Peng hurriedly withdrew and retreated, maintaining the formation of the mandarin duck army.

And this attack did offend Sha Moke's Ni Lin, which immediately made him furious, and he raised his spear to launch a powerful attack on the mandarin duck formation.

He held the spear with both hands, with his left hand in front and his right hand behind him. The thin bowl-sized spear pierced Deng Peng's face without any fuss.

Unfortunately.
No matter how fast he moved, he was still detected by the wolves of the mandarin duck army first. The moment he launched an attack, two wolves on the left and right roared over from both sides, trying to protect Deng Peng.

"Humph!"

Sha Moke, who had already suffered a loss, how could he get the second trick.

Without hesitation, he turned a thorn into a sweep, and relying on the powerful strength of his arms, he faced the roaring wolf first, and slammed it head-on.

Although the wolf is a special weapon, it is fundamentally the same as the gun weapon, and there are traces of various moves.

The moment Shamoko's spear came up, there was a clanging sound, and the weapons on the branches and leaves were clanging non-stop, but it was a pity that they still couldn't stop the spear, and were directly knocked away by Shamoko. .

"Death to me!"

Shamoke let out a roar, swung his spear with his backhand, and slammed down on the mandarin duck army like a thunderbolt. At such a close distance, Shamoke believed that no one could withstand his attack.

but
An astonishing scene appeared.

The moment Shamoke raised his battle spear high, and it was still falling, behind the wolf's first move, the boring weapon pointed at Shamoke's battle spear, and directly attacked it.

His move to smash Huashan not only relies on the strength of his arms, but also relies on the momentum accumulated in the process of falling, and if he is stopped in the first half of the falling, the actual force that can be generated is not at all. How many.

clang-!
Where spears and palladium intersect, sparks burst out.

A deafening golden sound exploded.

Sha Moke's strength was strangled in the cradle before it even burst out.

The two of them stared at each other, apparently they had never seen such a defensive method, and they were able to control their own weapons before they attacked, it was amazing!

What surprised Sha Moke even more was that Deng Peng, the main general of the opponent, took this opportunity to attack him again, and the spear in his palm struck like a thunderbolt.

"Death to me!"

Hoarse, Deng Peng stabbed straight, the tip of the spear whirled like a dragon out of the sea, whizzed out, and rushed straight to Shamoko's weak defense.

If this move is successful, even if Sha Moke does not die, he may be disabled. This is an extremely fierce timing, and Deng Peng grasped it precisely.

It's too late to say, then soon!
Sha Moke exerted force with both hands, and at the same time, with the help of the reaction force on the boring palladium, he jumped back, allowing himself to quickly open the distance between himself and Deng Peng's spearhead.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, a black shadow in front of him quickly grew larger and rushed towards his face, but finally stopped less than half a foot away from his cheek.

sideways!

subconscious dodge.

Sha Moke evaded the attack again, and at the same time, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, so frightened that he lost three of his seven souls.

If one of the opponent's men was singled out, it would be impossible for him to be his opponent, but when they were combined together, he could make himself, a man who could fight tigers, almost lose his life.

Previously, Sha Moke had heard of the Central Plains people's art of war, but he always dismissed it. He thought that kind of thing was completely impractical and there was no need to learn it, because in the mountains and forests, the formation method could not be used at all.

Have to admit.

Shamoko's idea does have some truth.

However, he didn't understand that the smallest unit of the mandarin duck formation is only three people, and it has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and has a certain strategic depth. It is definitely not the formation he imagined.

Unfortunately!
Such a formation suitable for fighting in the jungle, was hit by Sha Moke, and he was helpless to fight back, only able to parry. For Sha Moke, it was a shame.

"attack!"

Deng Peng gave an order, and all the brothers under his command stepped forward.

The rattan player took the lead and rushed straight up, using the shield as a cover, and the Huan Shou knife as an attack, approaching directly, the wolf first followed closely behind, and the huge branch swept left and right, and directly swept away the barbarians who came to support Shamoko.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
In the rear, the god kite crossbow followed one after another, and a row of arrows fell like raindrops, covering the barbarians, constantly harvesting the lives of the Wuxi barbarians and compressing their living space.

Sha Moke saw that things were not going well, this group of Han soldiers was different from the officers and soldiers before, they fought bravely, were well-trained, and attacked very well, unexpectedly there were few loopholes.

The most terrible thing is that in this narrow mountain forest, their cooperation can be described as both offensive and defensive. Even if it is themselves, it is difficult to break their offense and defense, let alone others.

If it continues like this, not to mention that I may not be able to return to the territory, even if I can go back, I am afraid that there will not be many brothers. This is the first time that Sha Moke has experienced such a difficult battle since he was born, refreshing his confidence time and time again. Know.

Can't fight!

Absolutely can't love to fight!

Sha Moke was worried about his family, gritted his teeth, and shouted sonorously: "Brothers, hurry up, rush over, there are Cai Mao's soldiers and horses behind, this group of Han troops will be handed over to them!"
