The battle ahead was in full swing, and Xie Ze led the troops to the back of the palace so idle that it was almost moldy.

However, even if there is no situation, Xie Ze still has to cheer up and be vigilant with 120,000 points.

"Are the scouts back?"

Xie Ze paid attention to the battle situation ahead, and ordered the soldiers to be ready for battle at any time.

"Back to the general, there is no news yet. The adjutant general held the saber at his waist in his left hand, looked at the front line with a solemn gaze, and asked Xie Ze in a low voice, "General, why did the lord send a general...... Huang Song's soldiers and horses are not as good as our army, and there are already all the military strength in front of the battle, how can there be spare strength to sneak attack?"

For military generals, there is no future without military exploits, and how to get the military exploits is naturally piled up with the enemy's head.

Squatting in the relatively safe rear, they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, isn't it a waste of time?

Seeing that the lord has more and more futures, and after destroying Huang Song, she will be the master of the entire Dongqing, which can be regarded as a small peak of life.

They don't know what the future will be, the lord seeks to stabilize the country or continue to expand the territory?

If it's the latter, that's even better.

If it is the former, one less battle is one less chance of promotion, and when the world is peaceful, it will not be so easy for generals to be promoted.

This time, he was assigned to the rear hall, which was equivalent to making a cold bench, and the deputy general who assisted Xie Ze was naturally worried.

"This is the lord's order, and I will obey it, and she will naturally have a good intention in arranging it. Cheer up everywhere so that the enemy does not take advantage of it. Compared with the adjutant general's worries, Xie Ze was calm, he raised his hand and took out a handkerchief from his armor and wiped the shiny barrel of the gun, lowered his eyes and said, "If there is a mistake in the rear, you and I can't afford to ask the lord for the crime." ”

The adjutant general thought of his lord's temperament, and suddenly sweated like rain, he questioned who was not good to question the lord's orders?

"I'm going to do it!"

The adjutant general immediately patted his horse away, and Xie Ze recalled the adjutant general's words and frowned slightly. Although he is not a brain-dead fan of the lord, the lord judges things like a god, and rarely makes mistakes. The lord said that the enemy could sneak up on the rear, so this news is mostly true.

The only question is, when will the enemy appear?

The rear is too comfortable, and the soldiers have some signs of laxity, which is not a good sign.

Xie Ze could only send someone to remind the soldiers under his tent all the time not to be careless.

"Newspaper—"

The adjutant general was about to go back to Xie Ze, when he heard a shout in his ear.

"What happened?"

The man said, "I just found a bloody war horse—"

The adjutant general was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Go over and have a look!"

It was a jujube-red war horse, far less tall and strong than the heavy cavalry war horse, with a tubular body, narrow chest, long back, shallow ribs, narrow but strong rear area, muscles more developed than ordinary war horses, and shiny fur. Those who are familiar with the types of war horses know at a glance that this horse is produced in northern Xinjiang, and has a certain bloodline of the Khan and blood of the Shalan country, with fast speed, strong endurance, and comes and goes like the wind.

Of course, this kind of horse is also specially rationed to scouts, to ensure the mobility of scouts, and to be able to escape at the first time when they find the enemy.

The lieutenant general glanced at the war horse with a heavy expression, raised his hand to touch the blood stains, and sniffed a little to know that it was human blood and not horse blood.

The soldier said, "Adjutant General, this horse has a slight wound in the abdomen—"

The adjutant general followed the soldier's point, and sure enough, he saw a palm-length wound on the side of the horse's belly, and some of the blood had coagulated.

With years of experience, he could tell at a glance what kind of sharp object caused the wound.

"The horses are back, what about the people?" asked the lieutenant.

The soldier replied, "No, the horse did not see anyone when he came back." ”

The lieutenant's heart sank, and he vaguely guessed that the scout had been killed, and he asked, "Are there any other horses back besides this horse?"

The soldier shook his head.

The adjutant general hurriedly passed the news to Xie Ze.

The task of these scouts was not to probe the front line but to the rear, and now they had been poisoned, and if it weren't for the horses who knew the way and ran back with their wounds, they probably wouldn't have found it. It can be seen that the lord's guess is correct, and there is indeed an enemy army lurking in the shadows.

Xie Ze listened to the lieutenant's words, his eyebrows were twisted into knots, and there were faint folds in the center of his eyebrows.

"Order the whole army to be on alert—"

What kind of equipment his own scouts are, he knows very well in his heart, almost all of them are equipped with good horses that require speed, speed, endurance and endurance.

In this case, he was killed by the enemy, which shows that the enemy is not easy to deal with.

If it weren't for the war horse running back on its own, Xie would not have known that the enemy had appeared.

Not long after his order was issued, there was a rumbling movement from behind, and the ground trembled even more.

"Kill—"

With a thunderous killing shout, a dense group of enemies soon appeared in the field of vision, and the war horses under the adjutant general's crotch were frightened. He was shocked in his heart, shocked by the number of enemies, and shouted a thank you, "General, the enemy army is coming—"

Xie Ze glanced at it, and his face became gloomy.

The enemy was less than three miles away from them, so close, how did they do it?

If the lord did not warn, the enemy would attack coldly, and the army would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

"What's the panic, array!"

Xie Ze scolded, with a clear posture.

Three miles, this distance is nothing to the enemy cavalry.

These horsemen were not good at stubble, and they were very skilled in bows and arrows at once, and the arrows had already fallen before they could get close.

Xie was calm, directing his soldiers to use the shield wall to block the arrows, while ordering the archers to shoot at the enemy under the protection of the shield wall, trying to clear the nearest wave of enemies. However, the distance between the two sides was too short, and the archers couldn't shoot a few rounds.

The enemy cavalry opened the way, followed by the soldiers and horses at the back, and it was roughly estimated that there were tens of thousands of men.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry was approaching, Xie Ze ordered the soldiers to step forward side by side with spears of more than one zhang, and stabbed the sternum, abdomen, and eyes of the enemy war horse. However, the mobility of the cavalry is a headache for all arms, and the spear can only hinder it for a while.

Jiang Pengji was the first to notice that there was an abnormality in the rear, but she didn't show it, but focused on the frontline situation.

In order to deal with the sneak attack of the soldiers and horses, she gave Xie Ze a lot of manpower. If he is unable to stop the enemy's offensive and stabilize the situation in the rear despite being prepared, not only is Xie Ze's military ability questionable, but the combat strength and quality of his own soldiers and horses must also be put under a question mark.

When the news of the sneak attack in the rear came, everyone was shocked, but Jiang Pengji was still calm as usual.

She said, "Believe in Yuan Gui!"

She gave the other party a warning, which is equivalent to hanging up, and being overturned like this, Jiang Pengji definitely wants to cut him.

In the dark, Xie Ze's small (begging) universe (life) and universe (desire) broke out.

The enemy army that sneaked up on was not someone else, it was the manpower that Feng Jue brought from the front line in Maruzhou.

Feng Jue looked at the battle situation, his face full of solemnity.
