He Lanmin sighed quietly: "I really admire your ability to adapt and leave a way out. You can always escape at any time."
The black robe said calmly: "In everything, consider defeat before winning. This is true for intelligence, and so is the art of war. Although I am not sure that the Jin army is really coming for the water source, but no matter what, I have to assume that they are coming, otherwise
, I will lose you, my best subordinate now, the best apostle of the Divine Alliance."
He Lanmin gritted his teeth: "If you are worried about this, why don't you let the three thousand cavalry left outside the mountain by Gongsun Wulou also go to protect you? I feel that there will not be too many Jin troops rushing in, otherwise you can organize soldiers and horses to kill them now
go back?"
The black robe sighed: "The opportunity to fight has been lost. The reason why too many soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter the mountain is because the water source is poisoned, which is unethical and unreasonable. If too many people know about it, it will shake the morale of the army.
After all, the Jin army may not come, but the people within hundreds of miles around cannot escape. Even among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Linqu, many of their families are nearby. If they knew about this, they might mutiny."
"Now anyway, a lot of dead sheep and chickens have been thrown into the water source. It is somewhat useful. Even if it is useless, it cannot be done again. You should go back to Guanggu City as soon as possible to guard Murong Lan. There is no need for other things.
You worry too much."
He Lanmin frowned: "Don't you need me to do reconnaissance and spy on these things?"
The black robe shook his head: "No, you can't do these things. Liu Yu has two great espionage masters, Liu Muzhi and Wang Shen'ai, by his side this time. There must be so many secret guards in the camp that even I can't sneak in.
I don’t want to take the risk of losing you. All intelligence methods are of little use now. All you have to do is look at the frontal combat, which means it’s up to me.”
He Lanmin sighed: "If this is the case, then today's battle of Shuiyuan was defeated, and a small group of Beifu cavalry defeated hundreds of our cavalry. If this is spread, it will be a big blow to the morale of our army."
A cold light flashed in the black robe's eyes: "So, I have to find a way to recover this place. Fortunately, Meng Longfu, the vanguard of the Jin army, chased him out alone. The bravest is braver, but..."
An evil smile flashed in his eyes: "Not everyone is Liu Yu's."
As he spoke, He Lanmin felt his eyes dazzle. The black-robed figure rose into the air, and suddenly flew to a horse that had been prepared under the barren hill. The black cloak fell under the horse, and a swallow-clad figure
The armor of the national cavalry general was put on his body, and the horse rode away, followed by his vigorous voice: "Keep an eye on Murong Lan, wait for my news."
Five miles north of the Jumi River, more than a hundred horses were galloping on the plains. The first one rode, and the knight on the horse clung tightly to the horse's back, holding the reins with his hands and kicking his legs.
The spurs on the horse's belly and the toes of the boots were piercing the horse's belly one by one, and blood could be seen everywhere. This also caused the horse to vomit blood and fly with its hooves, which also allowed him to rush forward.
At the front of the entire team!
Suddenly, the maroon horse neighed, its hooves faltered, and fell to the ground. No matter how hard the knight whipped and kicked, he could no longer move a step.
Several accompanying cavalrymen exclaimed: "General Gongsun, General Gongsun!!" They all jumped off their mounts and ran up to help Gongsun Wulou, who had fallen into the dust and was in a miserable state. And Gongsun Wulou was in a state of despair.
The voice also sounded: "Head, my head, is my head still there?"
The hoarse and low voice of the black robe sounded from one side: "If your head is gone, who and what is talking now?"
Gongsun Wulou suddenly became energetic, jumped up from the ground, and looked in the direction of the sound: "National Master, National Master, are you here? Save me, save me!"
With a "pop" sound, Gongsun Wulou only felt a sting on his face, but a whip hit him hard in the face, leaving his mind blank, leaving only the roar of the black robe filling his ears: "
General Gongsun, look at your appearance now, what do the soldiers think and see?!"
Gongsun Wulou immediately reacted. When the smoke dispersed, he saw a tall and majestic knight sitting on a tall black horse. He was covered in animal-like armor. On both sides of the shoulder armor, there were flying eagles and horses, spreading their wings and hooves.
, and a fully enclosed helmet covered the entire face, leaving only a pair of stunning eyes. In the two eye holes, sparkling, an aura of death emanated from this man's body.
, even though the sun was in the sky, people still felt a shuddering fear even three feet away, wishing to stay as far away from this person as possible, so that the thousands of armored cavalry following him were only a few dozen steps away from him.
It was so densely packed that he was left alone outside the array.
Gongsun Wulou had never seen such a military uniform in black robe, and he didn't even recognize it. He murmured: "National Preceptor, you, are you really the National Preceptor? How..."
The black robe said coldly: "What, am I going to wear a black robe and a mask on the battlefield again? Let the Jin army recognize me at a glance?"
Gongsun Wulou jumped up from the ground in a hurry: "National Preceptor, subordinate, I am incompetent, I am ashamed of my trust in you, but, it's just that the Jin army came too much, we, we tried our best to resist, but..."
The black robe interrupted him impatiently: "Too many have come? How many have come?"
Gongsun Wulou was stunned for a moment, and murmured to himself: "A thousand are coming, oh, no, three thousand are coming, no, it's five thousand cavalry, all of them are fierce and fierce, and we are no match for them..."
With a "pop" sound, another whip hit the other half of his face. This time, he was frightened and angry, and instinctively wanted to yell, but before the words reached his throat, he saw the death-like pair of black robes.
His electric eyes were staring straight at him, and he suddenly lost the courage to look at him, so he could only cover his face: "National Master, we, we really tried our best!"
The black robe gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Try your best? You can't even count the number of enemy troops, and you dare to say you tried your best? You left hundreds of brothers behind to resist and die, to buy you time to escape, according to military law
, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration for me to kill you now!”
How could Gongsun Wulou dare to argue any more? He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "National Master, spare my life, National Master, spare your life!"
The black robe said coldly: "Go back to the city later and report to General Duan and General Helan so that they can get ready. Now, watch here to see how I fight and how I do things!"
Having said this, he stared intently at the man and horse, Meng Longfu, who was two miles away, riding straight towards the formation, brandishing a big halberd, and curled up the corner of his mouth: "Fight Gongsun."
The flag on the fifth floor, fake defeat and run away, lure him into the battle!"
