Zhang Xinyi ignored the service staff, walked directly through the hall, reached the atrium, turned left into a long corridor, passed through a wooden pavilion, and beside a small garden, Zhang Xuli was lying on an armchair, basking in the sun and snuggling. Melon seeds.
"Zhang Xuli, get up."
This voice was so familiar that Zhang Xuli jumped up from his chair, spilling the melon seeds in his hand all over the floor.
"Can you be gentler? This yelling doesn't match your appearance."
Hearing this, she felt like she was saying that she was very beautiful. Zhang Xinyi suddenly felt better and said, "That's okay. Anyway, the city lord asked you to bring a battalion of troops to the eastmost village to cut off the retreat of the Angke army. I Let’s go.”
"Wait, wait." Zhang Xuli immediately ran forward, stopped Zhang Xinyi and said, "What do you mean, Angke City is coming to attack us?"
"Yes, loot the villages and towns to the east of us."
"Okay, grab my melon seeds and eat them, and see if I don't deal with you. Come, come with me to the military camp to lead the troops on the expedition."
Zhang Xinyi looked at Zhang Xuli in surprise: "Did you make a mistake? I asked you to go, but I didn't ask you to go. I won't go."
Zhang Xuli said with a playful smile, "I have to have a deputy."
"You can either look for Ding Xu or Sima Hongyi. I'm late and Murong Yi has picked them all."
"It makes sense." Zhang Xuli suddenly realized and ran out directly.
Jiutian Village is the easternmost village of Sesha City. It is called Jiutian Village because rivers, lakes and other terrain divide the village into nine areas.
Outside the village, Meng Yichang ordered the army to seal the village road, and he entered the village with three regiments of troops.
In the village, Meng Yi often walked on the streets and looked at the closed doors of the surrounding shops and houses. There was not a single pedestrian on the road, and the whole village was as quiet as an uninhabited village.
"What's going on?" Meng Yichang became confused.
Under normal circumstances, this robbery was very concealed. When Sesha City received the news and then sent out troops, the robbery was completed.
Now the village was strange. Meng Yichang couldn't believe it and shouted: "You guys, search the nearby houses to check the situation."
"yes."
After receiving the order, several soldiers ran out of the army and arrived at a house. They kicked open the door and rushed in.
Those houses are closest to the village entrance, and the villagers inside have been evacuated. Now a large number of swordsmen and spearmen are ambushing them, preparing to wait for Meng Yichang to come in to seal the village entrance and cut off Meng Yichang's retreat.
Murong Yi led a company of archers to ambush in a deep alley in the distance.
Seeing Meng Yichang stop and send people to search the nearby houses, Murong Yi tightened the Po Ming Bow in his hand and said softly: "Send the order, don't attack, just wait for my order."
"yes."
After a few minutes, no one came out. Meng Yi often panicked and knew something was wrong, so he immediately shouted: "Quickly retreat."
The entire army, under Meng Yichang's order, rushed to the entrance of the village.
Knowing that Meng Yichang was about to run away and it would be too late if he didn't fight, Murong Yi shouted, rushed out of the alley, and shot an arrow at Meng Yichang's army with his Po Ming Bow.
"Murong Yi is here, kill him, don't run away, Meng Yichang."
Before Murong Yi's shout could finish, three or four arrows had already flown out of Murong Yi's Po Ming Bow and shot into Meng Yichang's army.
After several Meng Yichang soldiers fell to the ground, the surrounding soldiers began to shout: "We are ambushed, run quickly."
The army panicked and ran towards the village entrance as hard as they could. Meng Yi, who was often in the middle of the army, also quickened his pace and ran towards the entrance of the village with the army.
"Kill..."
Murong Yi's troops fought out from all the alleys, streets and houses and rushed in towards Meng Yichang's army. Arrows flew from all directions and fell into the crowd.
Meng Yichang rushed out of the village entrance and shouted: "Send an order to the three commanders to block the village entrance and stop Murong Yi's pursuit. The others will follow me back to the city."
"Yes." A soldier beside Meng Yichang quickly ran out to deliver the order.
Two thousand meters outside the village, Zhang Xuli was swinging leisurely and muttering incessantly.
"Damn Meng Yichang, you're wasting my time hugging my wife, wait and see how I torture you."
After saying that, Zhang Xuli went to the ground, put his hands behind his head, and looked at the sky: "Let's get some sleep first."
"Flag Chief." Liu Zhen walked to Zhang Xuli and said, "Look over there."
Zhang Xuli had just closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep, when he heard Liu Zhen's voice and said impatiently: "Can you save me some trouble? What's there to see?"
"Then I'll go. The flag commander will go to sleep slowly. It's probably a few minutes before Meng Yichang comes running from the front."
When Zhang Xuli heard Meng Yichang, he opened his eyes suddenly, jumped up from the ground, and saw an army running in front of him.
"Liu Zhen, don't want any more military glory today."
Meng Yichang ran out of the village and finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the army in front of him, his heart sank suddenly.
Thinking that there were still pursuers behind him, Meng Yichang stepped forward and shouted: "Who is it? Blocking my way."
Zhang Xuli stood in front of the army, playing with the magic stick in his hand: "I'm in a bad mood, I don't want to tell you."
When the two armies are fighting, their names are usually reported, firstly so as not to hit the wrong person, and secondly, so that military achievements can be remembered easily.
Now Zhang Xuli doesn't say anything, there is only one situation where he already knows who the other party is.
The troops that had already been ambushing Meng Yichang made a few drops of cold sweat break out on his face, and said angrily: "Good boy, go to hell." After saying that, he raised his silver knife and rushed towards Zhang Xuli.
"Wait, wait." Zhang Xuli stretched out his hand to signal Meng Yichang to wait, and quickly stepped back.
Meng Yichang was halfway through the rush, but he didn't expect Zhang Xuli to come out like this. He stopped and was about to ask questions when he heard Zhang Xuli shout again: "Liu Zhen, get on here."
Liu Zhen usually hangs out with Zhang Xuli, and they have a good relationship in private and often make jokes.
Now facing Meng Yichang's army, Liu Zhen heard Zhang Xuli's order and did not dare to neglect, shouting: "Okay, I will deal with him."
Seeing someone coming out to fight again, Meng Yichang raised his silver knife again and went forward to kill: "Who is it? Tell me your name."
Liu Zhen rushed to Meng Yichang and slashed him with his sword: "Liu Zhen, commander of the Second Battalion of One Flag."
Meng Yichang swung his sword to block Liu Zhen's attack, quickly moved to Liu Zhen's side and began to attack Liu Zhen.
Unexpectedly, Meng Yichang was very good at fighting. Liu Zhen was suppressed and beaten by Meng Yichang for a while. He could only parry and had no time to fight back.
After seven or eight minutes, Liu Zhen could not withstand Meng Yichang's attack and retreated to the front of the army.
"Flag Chief, Meng Yichang is very powerful in battle."
"Then I'll do it. You go and eat some melon seeds first." Zhang Xuli staggered forward.
Seeing Zhang Xuli approaching, Meng Yichang shouted: "Why, you won't run away again this time? Hahaha." After speaking, he laughed.
A contemptuous smile appeared on Zhang Xuli's lips: "Hahaha, you think too highly of yourself. Come on, come on, let's see how I beat you."
