Volume 5 War and Peace Chapter 19 Meeting on a narrow road

"Why?"

I said, "Do you really think that just these more than 20,000 people can catch the other party's coach?"

Stilwell said: "Even if it doesn't work, we can cover up and kill for a while. At least we can avenge the third uncle!"

I continued to shake my head and said, "20,000 people are in the army of 600,000. It is a blessing that I can escape unscathed. If you want to die, I won't stop you, but don't implicate others. Heijis is just temporarily distracted. If you want to take advantage of the situation, it's a whim."

"Mom-in-law!" Stilwell stood on the horse again and shouted, "Are there any brothers who are willing to make achievements with me?"

Seeing that he was already crazy, I shook my head secretly and said to Zhang Shilei: "Let our people follow me to retreat."

Zhang Shilei shouted: "The Sword God has an order, retreat!"

The soldiers of the Hong Lie Empire dared to counterattack and relied on the sword god in front of him, relying on temporary courage, but neither the number nor the formation were suitable for long-term battle strategies. At this time, I gave the order, the entire army turned and went back to the original route. The Heijis army did not know our details. The troops of Wu Sizhong were gathering at this moment, preparing to deal with the enemy's largest counterattack, so they did not pursue. The enemy who was left behind us was in a daze, restless and hesitant mood. Seeing that we were returning on the same route, no one tried to intercept us. More than 20,000 people returned to the open space smoothly. Stilwell knew that the morale of the army was all about me, so he had to sigh and retreat with the army.

When we arrived at the safe area, it was already dawn and all the soldiers were exhausted. Thinking of the crazy actions of the night, it was like a dream. In this battle, we used 20,000 remaining soldiers to penetrate into the heart of the Heiges Army. Not only did we say that we could rescue Stilwell, but we also made the other party suspicious, and we achieved incredible results. Someone shouted "Long Live the Sword God", and then all the soldiers shouted, and in the empty Gobi Desert, the cry of "Long Live the Sword God" was deafening. Through this battle, the soldiers were proud and washed away the shame of defeated soldiers, and felt deeply glorious. In everyone's heart, the courage to move forward also returned to their bodies with the experience of fighting side by side with the Sword God.

Stilwell sighed, "If I were you, I would have achieved greater success than I am now."

I glanced at him and didn't say anything. Actually, I understand that winning this battle is really a waste of luck. The speculation accounted for 99%. Wu Sizhong heard that the Sword God led people to fight back, and he must have thought that our troops gathered all the elites in Hong Lie's army, so he did not act rashly. The more than 20,000 of us were just like the donkey of Qian. If it weren't for Wu Sizhong's taking it for granted, the consequences would be unimaginable. When I thought of this, I was scared, and all this was for the young general who thought he was reckless and reckless. Of course, perhaps Stilwell could really become a famous general after his experience. He was not lacking in adventurous spirit and bold ideas. If such a person could survive, he would probably grow into a commander with both wisdom and courage and tricks...

We walked slowly. Less than 20 miles ahead was the city of Lizhou in the Honglie Empire. Shi Cundao had led all the troops to retreat safely. Now the three armies are stationed in the three prefectures of Li Xinfu.

At this time, the soldier responsible for the temporary exploration suddenly rushed back and reported: "General Sword God, a large number of Heigis cavalry were found in front of him, with about 30,000 people, which cut off our retreat."

I took a breath and said, "How come there are ambushers here? Is Wu Sizhong really using troops like a god? I thought that we would pass by here after the camp robbery, so I arranged for troops here?" As soon as I finished speaking, I felt something was wrong. If Wu Sizhong really wanted to wipe out all of us, we would have sent people to kill from behind.

The soldier who reported the news said, "It seems that the other party is also rushing to the road. They are blocking our way, and we are just on the place they must pass."

Zhang Shilei said: "I understand. After the defeat of the right-road army, Heijis's cavalry have been chasing behind him. These people are pursuers. Now that our people have returned to the city, they are also on the way back to the camp."

I said, "What should I do?"

Zhang Shilei frowned and said, "We have to make a quick decision, otherwise if Wu Sizhong's pursuers arrive and the enemy in front of us, we will be attacked from both sides."

I looked at the sleepy and scarred troops behind me and said, "Do you think our people can still withstand a tough battle?"

Zhang Shilei also worriedly: "There is no other way to do this today. The brave ones will win when they meet on a narrow road. I hope they will not be much better than us - but the other party is only responsible for chasing, and the damage will be less, unlike when we fight all night." Zhang Shilei said: "Fifth Master, you have to make an idea, should you fight or retreat?"

I smiled bitterly and said, "I will definitely not be able to fight. Where can I retreat?"

At this time, Stilwell suddenly said, "We are attacked from both sides, why are they?"

I think it is true that now both of us are in the same situation - behind us is the enemy's base camp, and in front of us are enemy troops of the same number as ourselves, like the cream in a sandwich cookie, but from the moment we look more awkward, as Zhang Shilei said, we have been in a hard work all night and have few horses, and we have all kinds of troops, and the other side is a cavalry with better configuration and physical strength than us. If we fight hard, we will not have a chance of winning.

Before we knew it, we had slowed down the marching speed, and according to reports, the other party was hesitant, obviously hesitating. I thought for a while and said, "I'll talk to the other party's chief general. If we can fight two times and go our separate ways, it would be best."

Stilwell said in surprise: "You want to make peace with the enemy?"

I glared at him and said, "It's not about making peace, it's about negotiations! Otherwise, will you have any better solutions?"

Stilwell said: "Lizhou City is closer to us. Judging from the situation, we have a good territory."

I waved my hand and said, "Don't tell me this. We had a good position from the beginning. How about now? It's useless to be close."

Stilwell: "You..."

I ignored him and still took Zhang Shilei and his men to the Heijis army directly. I saw black armor on the opposite side with swords and guns flashing. After a night of battle, Heijis was still in a state of purging his army. When the other party saw a small group of people coming forward, they whirled the distance and were ready to charge at any time.

I was more than ten meters away from them and stopped and whispered: "I'm not here to fight, I'll ask you commander to come out and talk to me."

A team leader opposite said, "Register if you come!"

"Styzai."

With my voice, a small commotion immediately broke out in the Hegis army. The team leader looked at me with caution and said, "What do you... want to do?"

I waved my hand and said, "I told you general to tell me that you are not qualified."

The captain didn't think it was offended. On the contrary, he said respectfully: "Please wait, I'll go to Tongbing's general." After he went, he returned one by one. I was displeased: "Where is your general?"

The captain bowed and said, "My general asked me to say hello to Mr. Sword God on his behalf. He is in military affairs and is not convenient to come out to meet with the teacher. If you have anything to say, you can tell me first. If I can't decide, I will report to him."

I wondered: "Military Affairs? Isn't the biggest military affairs in front of me?"

Zhang Shilei laughed and said, "This guy is obviously afraid of repeating Chen Zhiyuan's mistakes, and he is afraid that the fifth young master will capture the king first."

I suddenly realized, and couldn't help but look at the captain with a squint, and said, "I think you'd better invite him out, you can't make the decision."

The team leader said, "Sir, please tell me, but if it is a matter of using the truth, our general has already given orders."

I said unexpectedly: "What did you general say?"

"Our general said that he and Mr. Sword God were destined to meet here. Unfortunately, it was temporarily inconvenient. Both sides met on a narrow road. Although they were their own masters, there was no need to fight to the death. It would be better to fight two times to get their own advantages. How about we go back to the camp separately?"

I smiled and said, "So that's what your general meant. It seems that he is not a stubborn person. Can you tell me the name of your general?"

The captain said, "Our general said, if the sir asks, we cannot hide it from each other, our general's surname is Qin and Yiwu."

"Qin Yiwu?" I said in surprise.

Zhang Shilei suddenly said excitedly: "Qin Yiwu is right opposite, Fifth Young Master, you have the opportunity to make contributions again!"

I understand what he meant. Heijis's three coaches - Dan Tai Lang and Wu Sizhong Qin Yiwu. No matter which of these three people eliminated, it would mean a fatal blow to the enemy. After the assassination of Dan Tai Lang, this is another great opportunity! But now I am facing the same problem as last time, and the sword energy is insufficient. Moreover, even if he can break into the siege with his sword skills and Buddha Light Puzhao, his 30,000 cavalry will definitely fight back desperately, and we will definitely not be able to bear it at that time.

Seeing me silent, the captain said, "General Qin said that he knew that under the power of his master, he had concerns about his life, but he told the truth that we hope that we can be open and honest with each other. If you and I know in our hearts that if we talk about combat power, the master's command is already at the end of his strength. He will not take the lead in contacting us, so please do not be impulsive, 'I am a life and death alone, don't kill the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers from two families.' This is the original words of our general."

I was secretly shocked. Qin Yiwu could guess my thoughts completely. He revealed his identity because he was fearless, and he seemed open and murderous intent. I have to say that this was a very clever move. After a moment of thinking, I made a decision and smiled and said, "Since General Qin is so understanding, I will accept his affection. Anyway, there are still some fighting, so there is no hurry to do this." I asked, "Then according to General Qin's intention, which of our two families will give way to each other first?"

The captain said, "General, he said everything is right."

I thought for a while and said, "Then let's send your army a journey." I immediately said to Zhang Shilei, "Let our people make way for General Qin to go."

Zhang Shilei kept winking at me, probably thinking that I had something to say, so I laughed and said, "Stop being fucked, tell the soldiers, no one is allowed to do it without hesitation, and send General Qin away with me."

My son always couldn't sleep well tonight, and what my mother and I were most afraid of was his troubles. My wife hugged her shoulders and coaxed me for a while and asked me, "What's the movement?" I saw the little guy laughing at me, and couldn't help but say sadly: "He woke up..." The tone was very similar to Ge You in "Big Stars"... (To be continued.
