Han Ying has always wanted to make contributions, but now he is worried about whether he can return to Liaodong alive.

Although it was impossible to go to the other side of the river to count how many men and horses Chen Zhitai had under his command, from the tents, it could be judged that there were at least two thousand men there, which was at least twice the strength of his own men.

Ever since Chen Zhitai camped on the other side, Han Ying had not slept a wink for two consecutive days and nights.

It's not that he doesn't want to sleep, it's that he doesn't dare to sleep.

Chen Zhitai is like a knife.

With a knife at his throat, no matter how heartless or heartless he is, he can't sleep.

He sent people to Tianji Mountain to report Jiang Xiaochun and Chen Zhitai's actions to Song Shixin, but no news was sent back.

He only hoped that Song Shixin would realize the plight of Zhumapo and send more troops.

At dusk, he really couldn't hold it any longer. Just when he was about to squint for a while, he heard someone running over in a hurry. It was his subordinate Sun Ting. When he saw Sun Ting's expression, Han Ying's face changed suddenly and he asked anxiously: "Why?"

What's going on? Is Long Ruijun coming to kill you?"

Sun Ting cursed "coward" in his heart, but still said respectfully: "Wuqi Lieutenant, Chen Zhitai sent someone here to deliver the message."

"Pass a message?" Han Ying breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What message?"

"The man said that he would not speak until he saw the Wuqi Lieutenant."

"Bring him here!"

After Sun Ting went out, it didn't take long before he brought someone into the tent. Han Ying was already fighting two powerful warriors beside him, and he himself had his sword at hand.

Who knows if this person is an assassin sent by Chen Zhitai, so be careful.

"I've seen the Wuqi Lieutenant!" The visitor was very brave and bowed his hands.

"What does Chen Zhitai want you to say?" Han Ying was not interested in nagging him.

The man said: "The school captain said that Wu Qiwei doesn't look like a bad person, so he wants to give Wu Qiwei a way to survive. The school captain will give you an hour, and ask Wu Qiwei to prepare. After an hour, Wu Qiwei will take the

Your men and horses left Zhumapo overnight and returned to Shunjin City as soon as possible."

Han Ying was startled and looked straight at that person.

"In addition, all the horses and food must be left behind." The man said seriously: "It is less than two hundred miles from here to Shunjin City. We have to drive all night. If we go faster, we should be able to get back to Shunjin City at noon tomorrow to eat.

It’s lunch, so don’t bring any food. By the way, there are also weapons, all swords, guns, bows and arrows, you have to stay.”

Han Ying looked at the man, couldn't help it any longer, and laughed out loud: "Leave all the food and equipment and return to Shunjin City on foot overnight? Then did Chen Zhitai ask us to leave all our armor and clothes so that the thousand men can

People walking around naked?”

"Colonel Chen didn't explain this." The man took out an official letter from his arms and said, "This is the customs clearance document that Colonel Chen gave to Lieutenant Wuqi. On your way back, you will pass by Yushu Gang, where Jiang Lang will

The camp is over there. If there is no customs clearance document, Lieutenant Chen is worried that Jiang Lang will not let you pass." He handed it to Sun Ting who was beside him and said with a smile: "Please give it to Lieutenant Wuqi."

Sun Ting glanced at Han Ying and saw Han Ying nodding, then he took the official letter and handed it over.

Han Ying opened it, glanced at it, and said disdainfully: "Is Chen Zhitai literate? Is this asking someone to write for you? Customs clearance documents, huh...!" He actually tore the official letter in half and sneered: "Go back.

Tell Chen Zhitai that I have food and horses here, and my saber is still a precious sword. If he has the ability, he can use other axes to come and snatch it."

"Wu Qi Wei, Captain Chen said that the soldiers and horses from the pasture will arrive in more than an hour at the latest." The man said: "He is kind-hearted. If the soldiers and horses from the pasture arrive, he will let you go."

If you leave, you won’t be able to leave either.”

Han Ying's face changed slightly. Because of nervousness, he clenched a fist with one hand, but his momentum did not diminish. He said coldly: "Threatening me? Even if Qin Xiao comes in person, I...I won't be afraid."

"Does the Wuqi Lieutenant mean that he will not withdraw?" The man seemed to want to confirm Han Ying's final attitude. He looked at Han Ying and said, "Do you want to think about it again?"

Han Ying grabbed the tea cup on the table, smashed it at the man, and cursed: "Considering your mother's size, if you keep talking nonsense, I will chop you with a knife."

The man dodged sideways, turned around and walked away.

After the man left, Sun Ting came closer. He saw that Han Ying's face was red, and he didn't know whether it was because of anger or nervousness. He whispered: "Wuqi Lieutenant, he said that there will be soldiers and horses coming over the pasture. I don't know if it is true."

Fake."

"It's just a bluff." Han Ying said: "Sister... Well, Zhonglang will lead thousands of people in Tianji Mountain, and he can attack the grassland at any time. Jiang Xiaochun took thousands of people from the grassland, over there

There are not many troops left, and Gu Baiyi is now afraid that Zhonglang will attack the grassland, so how can he have the courage to mobilize troops from the grassland." He felt that what he said was very reasonable, and he felt more confident, and said: "If they really want to attack Zhuma

Poe, would Chen Zhitai tell us in advance?"

Sun Ting seemed to think it made sense, nodded and said: "What the Wuqi Lieutenant said makes sense, this is Chen Zhitai trying to make things up."

"Don't worry, General Zhonglang has given instructions to guard Zhumapo no matter what." Han Ying said: "Jiang Xiaochun is camping at Yushugang. General Huangfu must have known about it by now and will never turn a blind eye. If my guess is right, it will be very soon."

The war will begin soon. Jiang Xiaochun is not in the grassland, and the troops on the grassland are weak. General Zhonglang will lead his troops to attack the grassland, and Gu Baiyi will definitely not be able to resist it. General Huangfu will also send troops to attack Jiang Xiaochun. He is extremely brave and is one of the most famous generals in the Liaodong Army.

Jiang Xiaochun is by no means an opponent. What we have to do is to guard the Songshui Bridge. As long as Chen Zhitai and other Long Ruijun are not allowed to cross the bridge, it will be a great achievement."

Sun Ting praised: "Wuqiwei is indeed far-sighted. No wonder he is highly regarded by General Huangfu and Zhonglang. In the future, Wuqiwei will definitely be a famous general of our Liaodong Army!"

Han Ying felt comfortable. He thought of something and waved to Sun Ting to come closer. He whispered: "After dark, when people are not paying attention, people pour oil on the bridge. If you really want to start a fight, throw a fire on it and loosen it."

The water bridge will burn immediately, and it will be too late for Chen Zhitai to put out the fire."

"Wuqiwei, we...we didn't bring any kerosene."

"Confused." Han Ying said, "Just get a few buckets of vegetable oil from the cook."

There are marching cooks in the army who are responsible for the meals of the entire army. Naturally, there is a lot of vegetable oil stored.

Sun Ting understood and said: "I will make arrangements immediately."

"Also, transfer twenty archers to the bridge head, and rotate them day and night. There must always be twenty archers guarding the bridge head." Han Ying said: "If someone comes on the bridge on the other side, warn them to leave, otherwise they will be shot directly!"

Sun Ting bowed his hands and stepped back. Han Ying felt that his arrangements were very appropriate. He felt slightly relieved and yawned. He was really sleepy at this time and his eyelids were twitching. He was about to take a nap, but he thought of Chen Zhitai's claim that the soldiers and horses on the grassland would be there in an hour.

He could arrive in a matter of seconds. Although he felt that this was just Chen Zhitai's bluff, he still felt a little uneasy and uneasy in his heart.

Not long after, Sun Ting was seen running back in a hurry. Without waiting for Han Ying to ask, he had already said: "Wu Qiwei, what's wrong, Chen Zhitai just sent someone to put up a sign on the bridge...!"

"what brand?"

"It says that anyone who steps on the bridge will be shot immediately." Sun Ting gasped: "He has arranged archers on the other side of the river. Just now, a soldier sent by his subordinates to test the bridge was shot in the shoulder.

, that is a warning, they said if anyone is brave enough, they will be killed immediately. We can’t go to the bridge and pour oil on it.”

Han Ying said angrily: "They are lawless. Does the Songshui Bridge belong to them?" But he seemed to have forgotten that he had just given an order, and he would shoot anyone who stepped on the bridge on the opposite side.

"Report...!" A voice suddenly came from outside the tent, "Wuqi Lieutenant, a large group of people appeared in the north, coming towards Zhumapo."

Han Ying could no longer care about Songshui Bridge at this time. He was shocked and said in horror: "Could it be that...didn't Chen Zhitai lie? Gu Baiyi really...really brought troops here?"

At this time, he had lost all sleep. He took the saber and rushed out of the tent quickly. At this moment, many soldiers were already running towards the north gate.

"How many people are there?" Han Ying ran to the foot of the watchtower and asked loudly to the sentry above.

"Densely packed, at least two to three thousand people." The sentry replied: "A lot of cavalry."

The last time Jiang Xiaochun came, it had already made the soldiers stationed in Mapo nervous. Now another wave of people came, and the officers and soldiers in the camp could only gather to the north again.

Han Ying only felt that his hands and feet were cold.

He originally thought that Chen Zhitai was just bluffing before, but now he realized that what Chen Zhitai said was actually true, and Caochang really sent troops.

Aren't they worried about Song Shixin attacking the grassland?

Han Ying ran to the north gate. The sky had already darkened. Looking down from a high position, he could still vaguely see the dark crowd of people and horses sweeping towards them.

"Quickly, let the brothers at the bridge head back." Han Ying shouted.

He knew very well that the dozens of soldiers on the other side of the bridge could defend Chen Zhitai, who could not rush over easily. However, Gu Baiyi's soldiers and horses came from behind. It only took a hundred cavalry to rush to the bridge to defeat those dozens of soldiers.

The Liaodong soldiers killed them all.

If you continue to defend there at this time, you are waiting to die.

Suddenly, the sound of a horn was heard, coming from the group of people in the north.

Han Ying's face turned pale.

As soon as the horn sounded, he understood that this team of soldiers was completely different from Jiang Xiaochun.

Jiang Xiaochun just passed by last time and was not prepared to attack Zhumapo, but now the approaching troops and horses, with the sound of trumpets, were clearly boosting morale and preparing to attack Zhumapo.

Although the officers and soldiers of Liaodong were well-trained and had always regarded Long Rui's army as a mixed army, the enemy's army was now several times larger than his own. If he attacked Zhumapo with all his strength, Han Ying knew that the result would be disastrous.
