Chapter 52 The Battle of Maling

That night, less than 60 Qi soldiers died, and more than a hundred were wounded. The losses caused by this short battle were a bit painful.The death of a companion also affects the mood of the living, and the resulting fear of war is the most deadly.

But luckily they are not the only ones facing this problem.Wei Jun set up an ambush and took the initiative to attack, and the loss was more than [-] people, which is really not small.

In the early hours of the morning, the Wei army camp.

"Yo," Lu Ban greeted, "Why are you still here?"

Yan Lingfei found a place and sat next to them: "Isn't this captured?"

"Injured?" Robin asked.

"Injured." Yan Lingfei replied.

As expected tonight, the defense was loose, Zhao Zheng and Yan Lingfei sneaked in at the right time, they were in a meeting.

Chang Mingming briefly explained the current situation to Zhao Zheng: "Tonight's order is to chase another hundred miles and drive the Qi army out of the border completely. If they can't catch up, they will withdraw."

Zhao Zheng was a little surprised: "Pang Juan's order? When did he become enlightened?"

"He's not a freelancer either," Chang Mingming said with sarcasm, "somehow he knows how to lead troops to fight, and the King of Wei gave him an order, don't lose even if he runs away."

Zhao Zheng pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.Lu Ban said: "The Qi army retreated too quickly today, I always feel something is wrong."

Zhao Zheng also thought about this: "Indeed, they were too reckless when they entered the canyon. It stands to reason that this kind of terrain is also in the territory of Wei State. With Sun Bin's caution, it makes no sense not to be wary."

"And I didn't see Wen You on the battlefield. He said 'see you on the battlefield' that night, but he didn't show up today. I'm afraid there will be arrangements in the future."

Chang Mingming said: "Pang Juan has always thought that the Qi army is useless, but today he doesn't seem to suspect that there is a problem with the withdrawal of the army."

"Arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated," Xia Cheng said, "He underestimates the enemy too much."

"After all, Sun Bin also lost to him," Lu Ban said. "He broke both of Sun Bin's feet, and tricked Sun Bin to almost death. He won once, so he couldn't help but not relax his vigilance." Yan Lingfei kicked Yan Lingfei, and asked: "What is your plan?"

Yan Lingfei said: "Guess."

Lu Ban: "..."

"Sir, calm down!" Xia Cheng quickly hugged Lu Ban, "You can't beat him, he's injured now!"

Yan Lingfei was not afraid of death and said: "If you have the guts, come."

Lu Ban was so angry that Zhao Zheng slapped Yan Lingfei on the back of the head to warn him not to make trouble, and continued: "If you want Pang Juan to give up, you can't chase him any longer."

"The terrain ahead is empty for a hundred miles, so there is no need to worry about ambushes," Xu Daming was very clear about the road he walked on when he came back. "As long as Pang Juan doesn't repent on the way, there will be no problem."

Bailixi sneered: "That's not sure, our general is as free as the wind."

Yan Lingfei laughed loudly and said, "Why are you so unlucky."

Zhao Zheng couldn't stand him anymore, he winked at everyone, everyone sat up straight and was eager to try.

Yan Lingfei rubbed back warily: "What are you guys doing?! I'm hurt!"

Zhao Zheng said decisively: "Do it!"

Everyone rushed forward together, several people held his legs to keep him from moving, Lu Ban and Zhao Zheng held his arms, and pressed him firmly to the ground. Chang Mingming rolled up his sleeves and gave him the last One chance: "Are you going to tell me?"

Yan Lingfei said firmly: "You guys kill me!"

Chang Mingming's ten fingers stretched out to his armpit like eagle claws. Ah Jiu took off his shoes, picked a dog's tail grass from the ground, and scratched at the soles of his feet.

Yan Lingfei was pinned down so hard that he couldn't move, and he didn't dare to yell to wake people up. He was tickled in pain and humiliation and shed tears. Lu Ban asked again: "Tell me, what kind of conspiracy do you have?"

Yan Lingfei said: "I... really don't know, let me go hahaha... Ah, my chest hurts."

Lu Ban said: "Don't do this! Brothers, come on!"

Yan Lingfei: "You...wait for me...fuck me hahahaha."

Zhao Zheng lowered his head and reasoned with him: "We won't betray you, don't worry Yanzi."

Yan Lingfei closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fingers tightly, as if it was really tormented.

After all, he was injured, and seeing that he did not speak, everyone had no choice but to let him go.

Chang Mingming sneered, "You look like you've been spoiled."

Everyone let go, only Yan Lingfei was left behind for a long time, his eyes were blank, and he said for a long time: "You are too inhuman, I am already doing this."

"You are too inhuman," Xia Cheng said, "We are all so pitiful and we don't say anything."

Yan Lingfei agrees with this: "You are indeed pitiful."

Baili Xi was very upset, and said, "Let's all rebel against the enemy, and go to Sun Bin's side to take the blame and make meritorious deeds. It would be a pleasure to kill Pang Juan."

Zhao Zheng: "Calm down."

Everyone sat with each other, feeling a little worried for a while, Lu Ban said: "Why don't you kill Pang Juan and let Zhao Zheng pretend."

"..." Zhao Zheng said, "Calm down too."

Not to mention that their height difference is not 01:30, son Shen and Pang Juan are completely incomparable, son Shen faked his death and the court came to rescue him, if Pang Juan also did this trick, who could save him?Moreover, son Shen is the prince, and he has never led soldiers before, so the soldiers are not familiar with him, but the soldiers led by Pang Juan have been with him for several years. be found.

They discussed here for a while, but Pang Juan didn't give them a chance at all. Everyone felt very sad, and they all sat on the rocks, a little silent.

Zhao Zheng glanced at the sky and asked Yan Lingfei: "What are you going to do, follow me or stay here?"

"I'm free," Yan Lingfei spread her hands, "Come here whenever it's convenient for you."

"Let's stay," Ah Jiu said, "He can't hurry anymore, change his clothes and sneak in with the wounded soldier."

Zhao Zheng didn't object, but said: "Then let's keep an eye on him."

Yan Lingfei smiled and said: "What are you doing, don't worry about me."

"Don't worry," Zhao Zheng pointed at him and said, "Be honest, the inspectors are coming, I'm leaving."

Lu Ban also stood up: "What are you going to do?"

"I'll steal a horse and chase Qi's army to see what they are going to do," Zhao Zheng said.

Everyone said: "Be careful."

Zhao Zheng gave a low "hmm" and replied, "You also pay attention to safety."

They cared for each other like this, but they knew in their hearts that these words didn't even have any weight. It was hard to say whether they were safe or alive here.

At dawn, a ray of cold sunshine hit the earth. No one slept well that night. Tian Ying stood on a big rock to mobilize the soldiers before the battle, motivating them, letting them regain their courage and regain their anger. a feeling of.

Kang Tu let out a sigh of relief, and stood in the crowd, Jiang Liang stood on his right hand, shrinking his neck, looking very cold.

Kang Tu glanced at her quietly, thought for a while, but still didn't open his mouth to find trouble for himself.He is no longer interested in Tian Ying's speech, and he is full of thoughts about ending the war and going back to the dormitory to sleep.Everything here is too heavy, not only his body, but also his heart is very tired, this kind of intensity is really tormenting, it is hard to imagine how those people who have been living in the battle can persevere.

Today, according to the plan, they pretended to flee to the east, scattered old weapons everywhere, and traveled hundreds of miles a day.

"This is too tiring," Kang Tu asked Ouyang Gen during a short break at noon, "At this speed, everyone has already lost their strength before fighting."

Ouyang Gen said: "It doesn't matter, we don't need to go into battle anymore. On the surface, Wei Jun is chasing us, but in fact we are taking the initiative. We decide how many miles Wei Jun walks in a day, and where to fight. It's also what we say.

Wait until they are dragged down, take the initiative to disperse the troops, and then set up an ambush to take them all away in one wave. "

Kang Tu didn't fully understand, but he noticed a problem and said, "What if Pang Juan doesn't take the bait?"

"It's also possible," Ouyang Gen said, "If he listened to the advice of the group of [-] people opposite him, he probably wouldn't chase after him. At that time, we can only face him head-on, and we have already lured them out of Wei State. If we fight again, we may not lose."

When Kang Tu heard that there was going to be another war, he was terrified and said tiredly, "Okay."

"I heard that you are very worried about Yan Lingfei," Ouyang Gen said with a smile, "If I'm not wrong, he should be in the hands of the group opposite now. In fact, he is not the one waiting for you to go back to save him, and he didn't keep up with the team , should have been tripped."

Kang Tu's trust in Ouyang Gen was very high, Hua Yu said the same thing last night, he was actually still uneasy, but after listening to Ouyang Gen's words today, he felt much more at ease.Ouyang Gen is like a reliable elder, smart and wise, always calm, what he says makes people want to believe unconsciously.

"If he stays in Wei Jun," Kang Tu said worriedly, "will he be interrogated?"

Ouyang Gen said: "I don't think so, Yan Lingfei has a very strict mouth, and won't say things that shouldn't be said."

Kang Tu glanced at the way he came, and saw the footprints of different shades on the road: "Even if he doesn't tell us about our methods, the people on the other side will probably find out."

"Yes," Ouyang Gen said plainly, "It mainly depends on whether Pang Juan bets or not."

It rained just the day before yesterday, but at this time the ground was already parched, the sky was cloudless, and the scorching sun was overhead. The sound of majestic footsteps and iron hoofs came first, followed by an army galloping from a distance without seeing its tail Coming, they galloped out like this, disappearing behind the horizon.

"Report—" A cavalry came from a distance, then knelt at Tian Ji's feet, "Wei Jun is chasing you!"

Tian Ji laughed loudly and said, "Sir, you are really good at predicting things!"

Sun Bin sat on the chariot and said, "Today, another three hundred stoves will be reduced."

Wei Jun came after him the day before yesterday, and he also came after yesterday. He started to reduce the cooking stove yesterday evening, and it will continue to decrease today, and Wei Jun is still chasing.Pang Juan became more and more anxious, and he took the bait.

Tian Ying was worried, and said: "Sir, the soldiers are exhausted, and they can't walk anymore. In the past few days, more than a hundred horses have been exhausted, let alone people."

But Sun Bin said: "Excuse me, the general will send a thousand elite soldiers to go with me to Ma Ling tonight. My son and others will go south and choose a flat place to rest. There is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow."

Tian Ying was shocked and said, "1000 people?!"

"That's enough," Sun Bin said indifferently, "Choose some with good physical strength and rush to Maling before tomorrow morning."

Tian Ji asked tentatively, "Sir, do you want to?"

"Pang Juan can't wait any longer," said Sun Bin, "he must have figured out that there are less than 6 people left in our army, and he can't wait to make a sneak attack overnight. 150 miles, we will arrive at Maling tomorrow evening. We will wait for him at Maling."

Less than fifty miles away from the Qi army, another huge army was resting briefly.

"The Qi army is less than 6 people now!" Pang Juan sat on his horse and raised his voice after listening to the stove pit counted out, "Brothers, God bless Wei! We are here to wipe out the Qi army, and today is the day!"

All the soldiers were so emotional that their eyes turned red when they wanted to fight.

Lu Ban squatted beside a soldier, touched the soil in the stove pit, and sighed: "Cook every meal, the Qi army's food is pretty good."

The soldier said with a smile: "It's nothing more than cooking porridge. There's nothing to be envious of."

Lu Ban turned to be a little curious: "Tell me, how come their firewood isn't wet?"

"Dried it out," said the soldier, "the sun has dried up in the past two days."

"Traveling hundreds of miles a day, I still have the time to dry firewood. I really have a heart." Lu Ban said.

The soldier heard something else in his tone, turned his head to look at him, and asked, "Why?"

"No," Lu Ban laughed, "I just thought it was strange that the stove pit was buried so poorly when I had the time to dry firewood, it's really outrageous."

The soldier frowned when he heard the words, Lu Ban patted the dirt on his hands and said, "You rest, I'll go drink some water."

At this time, the sun was at its worst, and all the soldiers either lay down or sat on the ground to rest, cherishing this hard-won leisure time.Pang Juan was sitting in the chariot to escape the heat, when a soldier outside whispered, "General."

Pang Juan was looking at the marching map, and glanced at him: "Say."

"There is a first-class soldier asking to see you," said the soldier, "he said he has something important to discuss with you."

Pang Juan opened the curtain and took a look, and saw that he was hiding behind the soldiers with his head down, unable to discern his face.

"Speak." He said casually.

"General," the man still lowered his head, "this matter is extremely confidential."

As he spoke, he raised his hands to indicate that he was not carrying any weapons.

Pang Juan was not afraid of someone assassinating him at all. This person acted as if he thought he was timid and timid. He frowned slightly and said, "Bring him up."

The visitor stepped onto the chariot respectfully and raised his head, but it was Yan Lingfei.

Yan Lingfei half-kneeled at Pang Juan's feet and said, "The general is in danger!"

Pang Juan: "..."

Seeing that Pang Juan was about to kick him, Yan Lingfei immediately bowed and said, "General, do you still remember Zhao Zheng?"

Seeing that Pang Juan really stopped, Yan Lingfei hurriedly said: "Our army has infiltrated the enemy's spy!"

Pang Juan sat back again and ordered: "Say!"

The number of Wei Jun's wounded soldiers increased day by day. Ah Jiu was running back and forth carrying her huge box, and suddenly stopped, turned her head to look, and asked, "Where is that person lying here?"

"who?"

Without saying a word, Ah Jiu put down his things and went to Chang Mingming: "Did you see Yan Lingfei?"

Chang Mingming: "..."

"I didn't see him," Chang Mingming said blankly, "don't tell me he ran away."

Ah Jiu looked desperate: "It's over."

Chang Mingming pointed at her, burning with anger but unable to scold, he tore his hair violently and let out an irritable "ah".

It stands to reason that he couldn't run away. Pang Juan was guarded by Lu Ban, and she and Ah Jiu guarded the wounded soldier's side, and they tied his hands. When did he run away?

"Go to Mr. Gongshu," Chang Mingming said, "He is standing in front of Pang Juan. If Yan Lingfei wants to get close to Pang Juan, he must pass by him."

"I didn't see it," Lu Ban said while fanning the wind with his hand, "I chatted with Pang Juan's soldiers, and I wanted to call him and ask him to remind Pang Juan."

Chang Mingming was going to die of anger, but Lu Ban comforted her: "It's okay, Pang Juan doesn't believe anyone, neither us nor him."

"Why don't you believe it?" Chang Mingming looked at him, "Pang Juan has long suspected that Zhao Zheng is a secret agent and that he has accomplices in the army. Yan Lingfei just went downhill, and Pang Juan would believe him and not us!"

Lu Ban probed helplessly and said, "This is the end of the matter."

Ah Jiu said, "It's all my fault."

"It's okay," Lu Ban said casually, "It's a loss anyway, and I really can't move it."

"Pang Juan wants to win and wants to go crazy," Baili Xi said lazily, lying on the ground, covering his eyes with his hands, "There is no reason to talk to a madman. Yan Lingfei won't stop if he doesn't get ahead."

"Enjoy life, brothers."

Inside the general's chariot, Yan Lingfei lifted up his sleeves, Pang Juan was immediately alert, thinking that he was about to draw out his weapon, but saw Yan Lingfei showing two purple scars on his wrist.

"Yesterday I accidentally overheard their secret conversation, so I wanted to kill me," he said, taking off his shirt again, revealing the arrow wound inside, "seeing that I was shot by an arrow, I was thrown among the wounded soldiers in the middle of the night, and my subordinates died. I woke up again from death, and I happened to be treated by a military doctor. Who would have thought that they tied me up this morning when they saw this, and three people were watching me, not letting me get close to the general. Kill me again!"

Pang Juan looked at the wound on his body, but did not speak.

Yan Lingfei said: "Everything my subordinates say is true, if there is any falsehood, I will leave my subordinates' corpses in the wilderness and no one will collect them."

"As you said," Pang Juan said in silence for a moment, "Young Master Shen was also injured by them?"

Yan Lingfei said: "Exactly."

"Who are they?" Pang Juan said, "Can you identify them?"

Yan Lingfei cautiously said: "I can only recognize less than five people, the three guarding me today and the ones I remembered last night. But my subordinates are bold, I hope the general will not startle the snake."

Pang Juan was not stupid, and said: "Since you have escaped, they must already know that you have been exposed, so why bother to scare the snake away."

Yan Lingfei had already thought about how to deal with it, and said: "You can pretend not to trust your subordinates, dispose of them in public, and then pretend to believe them on the surface, and then act after the spy sends the information to the Qi army, and beat the Qi army one by one. Caught off guard."

It sounded quite bluffing, Yan Lingfei evaluated himself in his heart.

Pang Juan raised his eyebrows: "Are you willing to be dealt with by military law?"

"The subordinates are the people of Great Wei, and the parents at home are still waiting for me to win the battle and return home," Yan Lingfei said sincerely, "Of course they are willing."

Pang Juan was moody and extremely suspicious, and he was beating drums in his heart. He didn't know how much he believed in him, and he might be here today.

He was feeling uneasy, but when he heard an angry shout from above, Pang Juan slammed the table down and scolded: "Bold! You bastard, you are talking nonsense to confuse the public, and you have fooled the general!"

Yan Lingfei paused for a moment, then bent down and said, "General, please forgive me."

"Come here!" Pang Juan said, "Pull it down and hit the top ten boards!"

Yan Lingfei still felt pain in his heart, and clenched his fists, feeling very bitter in his heart.

His ten boards were for people like [-] in Wei Junzhong.If he didn't want to save the lives of these people, when Pang Juan asked him who Xi Zuo was, he would have said it directly, but in this way, Pang Juan would definitely kill them.

In order to save these people for the time being, he can only bear the pain of flesh and blood.

During the execution, except for the [-] people, all the other soldiers didn't know what happened. Bailixi looked at it nonchalantly and said coldly, "It's really touching."

"Will he be killed?" Lu Ban was a little worried, and asked Ah Jiu, "He still has injuries."

Ah Jiu said: "Let him die."

Lu Ban smiled: "This is just a game."

Ah Jiu didn't speak, turned around and left.

After playing ten boards, Yan Lingfei almost died. Two military doctors came up to carry him away. He felt that someone was taking care of him, and immediately fell asleep.

Bai Lixi didn't need to think about it, but he knew that this scene was made for their "elaborate productions". He was puzzled and said, "In this case, if we don't act and show our feet, will Pang Juan still believe him?"

"It's late," Lu Ban said while holding his forehead, "it's already late."

One of Pang Juan's personal soldiers climbed into the general's chariot and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Ban said: "Just now, I hinted at a personal soldier..."

Baili Xi: "..."

"Heaven will destroy Wei," Baili Xi said coolly, "We did our best."

"Zhao Zheng is still ahead," Lu Ban sighed, "If you know we screwed up, you might die of anger."

Baili Xi also felt a little uncomfortable thinking about Zhao Zheng. After all, Zhao Zheng could win as an undercover agent by himself, but he lost with them.

"Oh." The two sighed in unison.
