Meng Lie sat on a stone by the roadside. If he didn't have the clothes that could barely tell his identity, his lonely appearance would be no different from an ordinary person who fled. However, this clothes were already dirty and not decent. A general of the royal court was still a bit desolate to this point.

Before the scout sent out came back, he could only sit here and wait.

Yashan has water sources, but as a hunter for many years, Meng Lie knew a truth deeply. The safer the place it looks, it might be an illusion. After escaping thousands of miles apart, Meng Lie was never at ease.

He was not an idiot, so he had long guessed how the rumor about Mengge's death spread. Since the Han people could come up with such a tactic of rumoring to defeat the enemy, it would be impossible for him to use it without subsequent tricks. The reason why he kept avoiding other generals of the royal court was not because he was afraid of those people, but because he was always worried that once the Mongols themselves were fighting in a hot battle, the Han people suddenly came out, which would undoubtedly be a disaster.

Meng Lie was actually waiting for the Han army to appear.

However, it has been almost a year since the initial rumors appeared. Even since he and other royal generals fell out, it has been nearly half a year since the Han army has not appeared. Every time a large number of refugees rushed out to rob their food and grass at the risk of death, Meng Lie would be worried that it was the Han brigade of troops coming.

But not every time.

In order to avoid the expected crisis, he deliberately slowed down the team's retreat and let other generals of the royal court walk in front of him. He always kept a distance of about a hundred miles from the other party. Or because he was about to reach Langru Mountain, the soldiers were a little excited. The speed of the march these days was a little uncontrollable, so the distance from the Mongolian Yuan team in front was sixty or seventy miles short.

"Secret Service, you seem to have something to worry about?"

His guard asked tentatively, and then handed over the last half bag of water. Meng Lie subconsciously took it to drink, and happened to see the guard licking his chapped lips with his tongue. Meng Lie hesitated for a moment and handed the water bag to the guard again: "Drink it, otherwise I will deal with you according to the military law."

The guard opened his mouth and finally chose to take a small sip.

"I was just wondering whether to send someone to remind the people in front of me that the actions of the Han people were a little weird. So far, this is obviously abnormal. According to the truth, the Han army should take advantage of the situation to attack after the chaos. But it is almost at Langru Mountain... What I am worried about now is that the danger is hidden when people are most relaxed."

"When is the most relaxed?"

The personal guard doesn't understand.

"Now, it's only one step away from returning to the grassland. The Langru Mountain Canyon is more than 300 miles ahead. When we pass through it, we are familiar with the grassland and our familiar hometown. At this time, the soldiers are the most excited and excited, and their vigilance against danger is also the most relaxed... If there is a person among the Han people who are extremely calm, he will wait until this moment to launch a fatal blow."

The personal guard thought for a while and said, "Maybe you are too worried. I heard that the Han people's Dongjiang is invading by foreign tribes. Maybe the reason why they did not come to pursue is that they could not be recruited in Dongjiang."

"If so, that would be great..."

The guard advised: "Secret Service, don't pay attention to those people. Those people in front may not appreciate your affection, nor may they think you have good intentions. You send someone to remind them that Yashan may be in danger, and people may think that you are afraid that they will rob the water source...or maybe, they will also worry that you control the water source and not let them drink it."

"Maybe..."

It was only at this moment that Meng Lie realized that there seemed to be no trust between him and several other royal generals. Even if he really sent someone to remind him, those people really wouldn't care.

"I am worried..."

The guard said worriedly: "Those people first arrived at Yashan and then caused the water source to harm. When we arrived, we wouldn't even have to drink water."

"After all, they are all Mongols, so they are not like this, right?"

Meng Lie said to himself, but there was no confidence in saying this in his tone.

"It seems to me that either we will wait for them to go first and then go back. Or we don't care about the water source of Yashan and rush over directly. If we pass the Langru Mountain Canyon first, it will be of great benefit to the special service after you go back. Just leave a team of people to seal the canyon, it will not be so easy for those people to go back."

"Let's forget it."

Meng Lie shook his head: "I have seen too many warriors of the same clan die in a foreign land. The position of the Meng Yuan has been severely damaged. One more person is a disaster for our tribe. I know you all hope that I will go back to compete for the throne of the Khan, but I am really tired. Moreover, I always have a feeling... the Khan is not dead."

"But, some people say that Fang Jie of the Black Flag Army had defeated the Khan in the south."

"The rumors are not credible."

As he was speaking, a few horses suddenly came over in the distance. The scout in the lead jumped down from the horse's back and ran a few steps to kneel down in front of Meng Lie: "Secret Service, the cliffs in front of us have started fighting! The people walking in front of us have been ambushed by the Han people, and they have suffered heavy casualties!"

Meng Lie stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically.

"I knew I wouldn't go back so easily!"

He paced back and forth, with the expression in his eyes particularly complicated.

"Come on, let's go out!"

Meng Lie said: "Let's rush to help!"

"But the Secret Service, those people once thought about killing you!"

The guard advised: "Why take risks for them?"

"I just said... After all, they are all Mongols, after all, they are descendants of the Wolf God. After all, they are all uncles and brothers of my Kuk Taimeng family."

He sorted out his iron helmet and turned over his horse: "You can't wait to die and refuse to save me!"

......

......

Cliff Mountain

The Mongols who were ambushed did not expect that this time the Han people came to be a regular army. When the first wave of Han people rushed out, looking at the tattered clothes on them and the size of only a few thousand people, almost all the Mongols didn't care.

Since the return of Yishui west, they have encountered too many refugees from Han people. These people have turned into wild animals for a bite of food. They dare to launch suicide attacks when facing wolf cavalry armed to their teeth. But no matter how desperate they are, their combat effectiveness is really not enough to be praised.

Although the poor but well-trained wolf cavalry had almost no effort to deal with these refugees in the past. Those refugees who seemed to be screaming and rushing forward could be defeated with just one counterattack. Thousands of refugees do not pose a threat to the number of wolf cavalry.

However, when the Han infantry soldiers shouted and rushed out of the woods, things seemed to be getting worse and worse.

About seven or eight thousand Han people came out of the dense forest and then launched an attack on the moving wolf cavalry. Because the woods were very close to the official road, the wolf cavalry's feather arrow blocking was greatly reduced than the power it could have been used in the past. What was most shocking was that the seven or eight thousand Han people were holding not wooden sticks, but bright horizontal swords.

Just as the counter-storm cavalry array formed by the wolf cavalry was about to take shape, dozens of shells were sprayed out of the woods and fell into the wolf cavalry team. The moment the huge fire ball exploded, the wolf cavalry realized that the refugees in tattered clothes were not refugees at all, but elite soldiers of the Han people.

The sudden attack of artillery disrupted the counter-charge formation of the wolf cavalry.

Then the seven or eight thousand Han people rushed in like wolves and headed straight for the central army's baggage camp. They brought a strange-looking package, tied with long ropes on it. When they were about to rush forward, the Han people swung the package over. Although the success rate of the thing explosion was very low, and there were not necessarily four or five of the ten that could explode, they really scared the wolf's horses.

The war horses were most afraid of the violent and sudden explosions, and soon the team's establishment was in chaos.

And those Han soldiers who looked pale and thin could withstand hunger and start igniting the carriages of the baggage camp.

General Wang Ting of the central army immediately ordered that the team at the beginning and end shrink to the central army, trying to rush the speed with the cavalry at both ends, and then defeat the Han people. However, the vanguard team turned around and prepared to come back for rescue, and put down a feather arrow from the hillside, densely as if it was raining rain.

I don’t know how many Han people rushed down from the mountain, and the team in front of the wolf cavalry had to retreat while fighting.

Then the team also saw a large number of Han soldiers appearing on the hillside.

Especially the rear team, because the distance was too long and the central army, they didn't know what happened to the central army. When they saw that the Han people who appeared did not hold flags, they thought they were just bandit refugees, and they didn't care at first.

When the news of the central army's emergency came, the wolf cavalry in the rear team became anxious.

"Half an hour!"

The powerful general Chu Feiyun murmured four words and wiped away the blood on the corner of his mouth.

Song Zihui told him that he would last for at least half an hour!

Although he didn't know why Song Zihui made such a arrangement, he knew that the outcome of this battle was all about him. General Song said that as long as he could hold on for half an hour, reinforcements would arrive!

He had already succeeded in raiding the enemy's central army's baggage battalion with six Zhechong battalions. Now, they are defending this official road. The soldiers of these six Zhechong battalions must resist the wolf cavalry who rushed over from all directions to try to encircle and annihilate their wolves.

"General!"

On the hillside, a general saw Chu Feiyun's troops being surrounded by a group of people, his eyes turned red: "Give an order to send troops quickly. If he doesn't send troops, Chu Feiyun's people will not be able to rescue him!"

"Wait a little longer!"

Song Zihui bit his cracked lips and bite the bloodshots out.

"Wait a little longer!"

He stopped others from admonition.

"I know you feel sorry for the brothers below. I am their general. I feel even more distressed than you! But now the wolf cavalry is not all concentrated there, and the enemies at the beginning and end are not completely restrained. I have to wait a little longer! Only when the wolf cavalry in the central army is concentrated and their forces are crowded together can the speed of the cavalry be truly curbed! That's right, many brothers will die now, but I'm waiting like this so that more brothers don't have to die in battle in the future!"

His eyes were gradually red, and his voice seemed to be torn.

"It's all born to my mother, all flesh and blood, all my brothers, Song Zihui's brothers... How could I not feel sorry for me? They persisted for a while, so that more brothers could survive."

He slowly knelt down and bowed deeply to the place where Chu Feiyun's troops fought fiercely.

"I'm sorry to you to win this battle!"

In his eyes, turbid tears appeared.
