The three of them sat around a bonfire and roasted the cans of iron with them in the fire for a while. They took them out and took them out. They took the knife and pried open the lid. They filled the cooked beef and beans. At this time, they were slightly steaming. Compared with Qi Jun's logistics supply, the Ming Jun was no longer on the same level as them.

Ma Hou and Xu Sanmei's troops, who had been fighting for most of the day, were resting and having dinner. The military doctors were busy treating the wounded, and the matter of cleaning the battlefield was handed over to Jiang Shangyan's subordinates. At this moment, they were busy cleaning up the bodies on the battlefield. Bian Wenzhong's army was still very well equipped, so of course they could not be wasted. These soldiers were struggling to peel off the armor of these people, and then threw the bodies of these people into the dug pit one by one, covering the soil and stones, and then trampling on the horse for a while, and it was over.

"Have you started fighting?" Ma Hou used a knife to cut the iron can, licking the remaining soup with his tongue, and asked Jiang Shangyan in a confused manner. Not wasting a drop of food was a habit he had developed since childhood. He was only fourteen years old when he followed Qin Feng. At that time, in the Luoying Mountains, he was mostly not full. Sometimes he had to take three days to eat at a meal. Wasting even a piece of food could not tolerate it in the death camp of the year. Even if Ma Hou was already rich later, this habit still had not been changed. Another female general, Xu Sanmei, was born as a hero in the martial arts world, was used to eating big bowls of meat and drinking big bowls, and was even more generous than ordinary men. His eating attitude was two extremes compared to Ma Hou.

Looking at the two generals opposite, Jiang Shangyan felt a little funny. Ma Hou's habit caused a lot of trouble at home. The wife he married was a beautiful girl from a wealthy family. Naturally, he couldn't stand Ma Hou's habits. However, Ma Hou is not the kind of guy who is merciful and cares about jade, and is completely different from a wild dog.

"Yes, the fight started, and it's not a small fight, it's a big fight!" Jiang Shangyan smiled and said, "It seems that the bombing of Chang'an has poked the pain of Qi people. Guo Xiancheng's elite troops came out together, and the 200,000 troops attacked us at the same time on the battlefield more than a hundred miles wide."

"Twenty-hundred thousand?" Ma Hou and Xu Sanmei frowned at the same time.

"Cao Yun is worthy of being a master of military strategy, and Guo Xiancheng is also amazing. Our intelligence has made mistakes in this. Minister Tian of the Ministry of State Security has apologized to His Majesty. We have always believed that Guo Xiancheng's troops were between 100,000 and 150,000, but this time Guo Xiancheng suddenly showed his might and mobilized 200,000 people without any effort. If he included his reserve force, in Luzhou, the Qi people would have at least 300,000 people." Jiang Shangyan ate a bowl of beef and threw the jar down.

"How could there be such a big gap?" Xu Sanmei said dissatisfied.

"From the beginning, Cao Yun determined the main target of attack was our direction." Jiang Shangyan chuckled: "So he kept increasing troops to Luzhou through various methods. Guo Xiancheng was very smart. He was the first battalion. Do you understand what he is? It was nominally a battalion, but in fact it was a combined force of two battalions. Our spies could not go deep into their barracks. Just relying on counting their barracks and spying on their corpses, they were blinded by them. After Guo Xiancheng showed his true strength this time, Tian Kang was very angry. Several capable generals from the Ministry of State Security were severely punished, and two of the main responsible persons were sent overseas."

"After such a big mistake, it would be a good deal for them like this." Ma Hou said: "Minister Tian is still a protector. If someone else is afraid that these few people will not survive."

"These people have made great contributions, and have been roaming on the verge of death over the years. Although they have made mistakes, they will not die." Jiang Shangyan waved her hand and said.

"We have such a big error in the preparation of the enemy's troops. I'm afraid it's very tight on the battlefield now, right?" Ma Hou asked.

"There are many troops, but you don't necessarily have much advantage." Jiang Shangyan said: "But as you said, at the beginning, we suffered a few losses, but now we have stabilized the front line."

"That's the time for us to fight back?" Ma Hou asked.

Jiang Shangyan carried a scabbard and drew a few strokes on the ground to draw the situation on the border. "The current situation is that one of Guo Xiancheng attacked Wanzhou, and the Tongfang was blocked by Wulin. Another attacked Xuzhou. After hitting Lu Long, Guan Ning and Yu Hong blocked it. Their main force was attacking Xiaoshi City wildly, and General Zhou's main force had already advanced there."

"That means we have stabilized the situation on the front line." Ma Hou stared at the ground and said.

"No, the crisis has not been resolved." Jiang Shangyan said: "Guo Xiancheng's left and right wings have 50,000 troops. Whether it is Wulin or Guanning, it is okay for them to defend their city, but when they go out of the city to fight, they will be invincible. Guo Xiancheng cannot take these two cities, so he will inevitably order his left and right wings to leave a part of the troops to restrain these two troops, and then the other troops march towards Kun Ling, hoping to surround the main force of the generals."

"What is our mission?"

"Xiangzhou is close to Wanzhou, let's deal with the enemies of Wanzhou."

"What about Xuzhou?"

"General Yang Zhi led a mobilization of reserve troops to rescue." Jiang Shangyan said.

"I'm afraid that the distance water cannot save the near fire." Xu Sanmei said with some concern, "The reserve troops in Chu are not as fast as those in the Ming Dynasty, and their mobilization capabilities are far faster than those in the Ming Dynasty."

"It's okay." Jiang Shangyan Road" At this moment, Cao Yun's strategy has been roughly completely exposed. We just need to stabilize the situation and wait for the situation to change!"

Ma Hou thought about it, "Will there be a new situation in Cangzhou?"

Jiang Shangyan laughed: "He Weiping is waiting for the battle. After holding on for a month, Guo Xiancheng will be finished. To the next spring, Guo Xiancheng will not only win over us, but even whether his lair can be kept or not."

"Then after we kill the enemy of Wanzhou, will we have to follow the trend and enter Luzhou?" asked Ma Hou.

"That's certainly, but the enemies we face are not good at slapping them, so we can't underestimate them."

"I know this, Your Majesty said, "Don't despise the enemy in strategy and attach importance to the enemy in tactics!"

Jiang Shangyan laughed loudly, turned to look at Xu Sanmei and said, "General Xu, I'm sorry this time. You may not be able to go back for a while. Your child is still young, but you have to work hard for your husband. When you win this battle, I will apologize to your husband."

"Business is the most important thing, and he will not even understand this principle." Xu Sanmei said: "I will send a personal soldier back and tell him."

Jiang Shangyan and Ma Hou looked at each other, but they both held back their smiles. It was strange that Xu Sanmei, a tigress like that, was a famous gangster in the past, and finally found a man who was a very famous literati from Xiangzhou. He had a profound academic attainment. When Jiang Shang Yan Ma Hou and others were invited to attend the wedding, they couldn't believe their ears. Xu Sanmei's man's skinny and weak look was afraid that Xu Sanmei could poke him to death with one finger. However, after the marriage, the strong Xu Sanmei was ruled by this literati. I heard that at home, it was the standard three obediences and four virtues, and everything was centered on men.

The two of them couldn't understand it. There was another standard tiger in the Ming army, Yu Xiu'e, but what the monk's identity was, he was still suppressed by Yu Xiu'e and couldn't look up. He really couldn't understand what Xu Sanmei was thinking? Or this was the turtle who looked at mung beans and looked at her.

In Yang Zhi's words, this is Zi Feiyu, how can you know the joy of fish? Or does Xu Sanmei like this tone? Anyway, Ma Hou can't imagine Xu Sanmei wearing women's clothes at home and pretending to his husband.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Xu Sanmei again. This glance was too obvious. Xu Sanmei immediately glared at Ma Hou and looked at Ma Hou with a fierce look. Ma Hou laughed dryly and stood up and left. This woman didn't look at the bird-responsive look in front of his man. If she provoked her, she would definitely be furious. If she really fought, she was no match for her. I was afraid that Jiang Shangyan would not be able to beat her. Fighting alone, they could not compare with someone like Xu Sanmei.

Three cavalry teams set up camps on the edge of Jinghe River. After resting for a night, more than 10,000 cavalrymen set up camps and headed towards Wanzhou. At this time, the general of the garrison in Xiangzhou, Zhang Xing, also gathered all his troops again. It was his turn to attack. It was similar to the terrain of Xiangzhou. After they stepped out of the land of Xiangzhou, they would also encounter the mountainous areas of Luzhou. Of course, Zhang Xing's troops were mainly infantry. They would enter Luzhou as a restraining army to launch an attack to attract Guo Xiancheng's troops and influence Guo Xiancheng to send more troops to the other three battlefields.

In Niushou Town, almost every family hung white banners and wore filial pies. In that disaster, almost every household had people died, and most of them could escape were young men and women. Chen Xiong of the watchtower also stood on his post in fear, until he saw the Ming army's flag appearing in his sight, and he completely relaxed. The disaster finally passed and he survived.

But what he never expected was that when the soldier he sent to inquire about the enemy appeared in front of him again, he was tied up in all directions.

The soldier ran away after leaving the watchtower. At this moment, he was wearing civilian clothes and knelt in front of the watchtower under the gaze of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Tan Zhou, who died in battle, received extremely high honors. He heard that the court would erect a statue for him here. Chen Xiong, who insisted on the watchtower and fought to the death, finally became a captain in one fell swoop. Although he was the lowest-level captain, for him, it was equivalent to crossing a big step. Looking at the crying subordinate, Chen Xiong suddenly regretted that he was the youngest under his command. At that time, he thought he would die and let him go out, which might be a way out, but he never expected that the ending would be like this.
