"Yes." Cheng Dalang nodded. "They were all forced... Your father should have something to say to you, right?"

"There...he is dedicated to being a rebel, just like he is dedicated to being an officer." Jia Runshi became more and more anxious. "One has to die, right? And life and death are not something we can decide ourselves?"

"Lao An can't hold it anymore." Cheng Dalang ignored the quick-responsive junior and pointed forward with his hand. "Seven wins and three losses will immediately become seven wins and four losses... It's almost time. The last game of the day.

If you go ahead and win this battle, three heroes will die less; if you can't win, I won't collect the bodies for you, let Fan Hu collect them and send them to your father, I guess your father is in Bo City."

Jia Runshi was startled, and turned to look at the battlefield by the river. Sure enough, after a few breaths, the knight of his own side was caught with an injured left arm and a weakness in lifting the shield. He suffered continuous blows and was forcefully killed by the knight on the opposite side.

He was knocked off his horse with a hammer wrapped in khaki infuriating energy. But the enemy knight was sure of victory and did not relax. He actually did not dismount. Instead, he lifted the horse's hoof and fell heavily.

This bloody scene triggered a weird uproar... The victorious knight rode his horse to show off his power in the riverside field, while Fan Hu's subordinates shouted and cheered.

It was in sharp contrast to the silence on Cheng Dalang's side.

After a while, the knight jumped on the stone bridge and returned to the other side. He received a glass of wine that only the winner could enjoy. As soon as the man drank the glass of wine, Jia Runshi did not hesitate, got on his horse, held a spear, and galloped

Cross the stone bridge, come to the opposite field, and then shout for battle.

Under the setting sun, Cheng Dalang, who was sitting firmly on the horse, squinted his eyes and leaned forward to take a closer look. And sure enough, Jia Runshi's appearance caused a slight commotion on the opposite side... A moment later, an enemy knight appeared, but ignored Jia Runshi.

Runshi came across the bridge with a white flag instead.

"What?"

Cheng Dalang asked him coldly.

"My captain said that it is too late, so I will send Mr. Jia on his way tomorrow." The knight glanced at Jia Runshi, who was still showing off his power in the field on the other side of the river, and told him calmly, "I, Zhangqiu Guo San, will send him off in person."

"good."

Cheng Dalang nodded, and actually stood up immediately, put away his horse, then got on his horse, led his subordinates, plus four corpses, and retreated to the west.

When Jia Runshi saw this scene, he was surprised for a moment, but soon realized what was going on. His face turned red, but he had no choice but to catch up in a hurry.

But after only a few miles, when the last ray of sunshine in the west disappeared, Cheng Dalang suddenly slowed down his horse and spoke to Jia Runshi who was following closely behind him: "Xiao Jia, you don't have to wonder, I did take the horse just now."

You do the testing... As I said before, I don't like this kind of thing, but it is actually the best way to delay the death of the least people nowadays. I have reason to do it, and Fan Hu has no reason to agree. We are at war.

, tens of thousands of people will die unless he..."

"It's also stalling for time." The young and powerful son of Qijun immediately put the previous events behind him. "Boss Cheng, what are you and Boss Shan's idea about?"

"We may have the same idea as our opponent. As for what the idea is, you will see it with your own eyes later." Cheng Zhili told him seriously. "However, no matter what, we can't lose anymore. If we lose again, or Zhang Xuguo

If you win again, you will have to cultivate the luck of the army! You go over immediately and inform Shan Dalang of what is going on here and let him know that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side may have the same strategy as ours. I will be there soon."

"Yes!" Jia Runshi responded sternly, patting his horse and leaving first.

Cheng Dalang immediately maintained the cavalry formation at the rear and continued to go west.

However, Jia Runshi was still a little late, or in other words, not early enough, because when he found Dantonghai, the main force of 20,000 rebels had already crossed over at dusk with the help of some wooden planks.

Nearly half of Wenshui River.

The temperature seems to be a little lower tonight, and the ice is thickening very quickly.

Correspondingly, after listening to Jia Runshi's report, Chief Shan did not have any superfluous reaction. He just asked his deputy Xia Houning to go away to greet the coming Cheng Dalang, and then asked people to light a fire, raise a flag, and wait for the next step.

arrival and rendezvous.

This seemed to hint at his thoughts.

"Single leader!"

Cheng Zhili's action of sending Jia Runshi in advance had an effect. In the dusk, he almost successfully led the crowd to Shan Tonghai, and made valuable exchanges and decisions immediately.

"Brother Cheng." Shan Tonghai looked at him with half-open eyes. "I listened to what your subordinates said, and I think what you think makes sense... At least 60% of the time, that Zhang Xuguo is planning to carry out a similar plan.

…There’s no reason why an old man can’t think of things that I can think of.”

"Then what do you want to do?"

Cheng Zhili glanced at the large army that continued to "cross" the river.

"I will continue to cross the river according to the original plan." Beside the fire, Dan Tonghai responded calmly and gave a brief explanation. "No matter what the opponent's strategy is, the army has already crossed half. If we call back at night, it will be

To separate the troops, it is better to continue to attack along the river at night as planned... If the opponent does not have this intention, our attack will still be successful. If the opponent has a similar plan, we will fight head on!"

Cheng Dalang was silent for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "If the leader has made up his mind, I will cross the river together. We can't spread our troops."

"Your troops have been very tired during the day, so you only follow the rear army. We will see the situation at the end of the battle before jumping into the battle." Shan Tonghai also nodded, and then gave instructions to dismount and walk up the ice. "I will only let the front troops go up.

The army puts on armor first."

"But...the two big leaders." At this moment, young Jia Runshi couldn't help but interrupt. "Could they have also guessed our actions...because of the previous advance of Chief Cheng?"

Shan Tonghai looked back at the young man, said nothing, and continued to dismount and head toward the river.

Cheng Dalang also continued to dismount calmly and followed closely behind, without any intention of explaining.

"You young man, are you confused?" Xia Houning, Shan Dalang's lieutenant, stretched out his riding whip and hit the other party on the back. "Even if the other party notices it, so what? They have no time to change it in such a short time.

Are you planning to set up an ambush late at night? It’s just a head-on battle. Moreover, what is your identity, are you asking randomly here? If it weren’t for Cheng Dalang’s face, I would cut off your sacrificial flag first!”

Jia Runshi woke up instantly, but without hesitation, he got off his horse and followed closely.

Facts have proved that Fan Hu is far less sophisticated than Cheng Dalang. It was almost an hour later that he finally got a taste of it because Cheng Dalang retreated too quickly and too hard. Moreover, he did not make a correct judgment directly, but crossed the river to the north in person.

We arrived at the official road north of Wenshui River and just waited here.

Then, around the second watch, I met my boss Zhang Xuguo who started the night raid.

"I underestimate Shan Tonghai."

After listening to Fan Hu's report, Zhang Xuguo, who was sitting on a pony by the river, asked about the details carefully. After thinking for a while, he came to a conclusion. "This person is not only decisive in his actions, but also has the third taste of strategy... so-called

The art of war is nothing more than falsehood and truth... Now as I expected, he should have used the same strategy as us. The so-called six-point victory through the art of war and clever conspiracies seems a bit deceptive."

Zhang Xuguo had already accumulated great power at this time. Although the generals gathered around him, no one spoke, because they knew that this old Ge would never delay the war.

"However, I have been in the army for many years, but I know that victory or defeat is not that simple." Zhang Xuguo paused for a moment, and suddenly sneered. "The right time, the right place, the people's luck, the logistics and the morale of the army, what is not the decisive factor in winning or losing? And this

In a battle, since our apparent chess moves are almost the same, there is only one thing that can determine the outcome..."

Having said this, Zhang Xuguo looked around and coldly shouted one word: "Courage!"

No one responded.

"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!" Zhang Xuguo stood up suddenly and pointed at someone. "Zhang Zhushou."

The masked Zhu Shou, who was Zhang Changgong, immediately bowed down.

"I know you are a guest general, but since you are in the army, you must obey military orders." Zhang Xuguo said sharply. "Tonight you are not allowed to fly freely, and you are not allowed to dismount. You must immediately put on a full suit of armor, hold a long soldier, and move at a slow speed.

, be the vanguard of my entire army! Later, I will assign two thousand troops to you!"

Zhang Changgong hesitated for a moment and then said, "Yes."

"Yu Baimei." Zhang Xuguo pointed to another person. "You lead the two thousand men in this unit and serve as the second vanguard!"

"Here!"

"Fan Bao, you are the third striker."

"Jia Wugen, you are the fourth forward."

"Fan Hu, you lead your troops out of the city immediately. We will also approach you diagonally. When we come back when the weather is cold, we will press behind the entire army and become the fifth frontline of our army."

"yes."

Finally, Zhang Xuguo looked around, looked around, stopped in front of Zhang Changgong, and pointed his finger at himself: "Tonight, all the generals will be the vanguard, and I, Lao Ge, shall be the first vanguard and lead the central army."

Two thousand, take the lead with armor, and serve as Zhang Zhushou's horse and the rest!"
