Zhong Niangzi Wanfu

Chapter 76: Coming to Help
一
"Bunji!" A roar came, followed by the sound of sonorous war drums getting closer and closer.

Zhang Zhuo came with his troops, and behind him was a flag with the word "Zhang" written on it.

Like a divine soldier descending from heaven, Zhang Meng drew his arrow, bent his bow, and fired three shots from the bow, all of which penetrated the chest of the enemy closest to Wen Yi.

Wen Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Zhang Tong wearing black iron armor, with a heroic figure: "Brother Zhang?"

"I am here to help you with the Southwest Army under the orders of the King of Capital City!" Zhang Zhuo swept his silver spear, went straight into the enemy's formation, and rushed towards Wen Yi.

Wen Yi immediately regained hope, took off the sword from his neck, and tied it to his hand with a loop: "I have not abandoned the Danzhou Army today. The reinforcements have arrived. The Danzhou Army has obeyed the order and followed our orders." Charge handsomely! Drive the barbarians out of Danzhou!"

Seeing that the reinforcements had arrived, all the soldiers were determined to die. The flag with the word "文" written on it was raised again, and the remaining soldiers took up their weapons one after another: "Oath to drive the barbarians out of Danzhou! "

"kill!"

Gao Fuxun saw more and more Southwest troops coming for reinforcements, and things became difficult for a while: "Prepare for war, prepare for war!"

The Nan'an soldiers who had just relaxed rushed to fight in a hurry, but they were exhausted physically and mentally and were no match for the elite Southwest Army.

Zhang Zhuo brought [-] elite soldiers of the Southwest Army to help Wen Yi and turned the tide of the battle. Gao Fu was beaten and retreated steadily, and had no choice but to retreat to Nanguan.

Gao Fu was unwilling to lose. When he was still twenty miles away from Nanguan, he led his remaining soldiers into the dense forest to the east.

Zhang Yan and Wen Yi reined in their horses and looked at the vast dense forest, becoming solemn for a moment.

"This forest is vast and vast, and there are many wild beasts in and out. It may be difficult to chase the enemy in there." Zhang Zhu frowned.

"General, why don't we force them out." He Ming suggested from the side.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhuo asked.

"Maybe we can use fire attack?" He Ming reminded carefully.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu and Wen Yi looked at each other, and both of them fell silent.

"General, now that the army in Xiliang has failed, we don't have much time left. If we don't take the overall situation into consideration, who would do such a thing as setting fire to the forest to destroy our ancestors' virtues? We have no choice but to do so." He Ming advised softly. road.

"This forest is vast, and many mountain people make a living in the forest. Wild animals, insects and birds live in it. If we set fire to the forest, it will only relieve the temporary hardship, but it will do no harm to future generations." Zhang Zhu frowned and hesitated.

"In the battle of Danzhou, we destroyed dams to release floods, and set fire to mountains. We have done too many wrong things." Wen Yi also couldn't bear it.

"Having done many wrong things, let's not miss this one." A light voice came from behind the two of them.

The two of them turned around suspiciously, and it turned out to be You Hanting.

There was a cold look in Wen Yi's eyes: "Master You is finally willing to come back. If it weren't for General Zhang, I'm afraid that Wen Yi's life would have been in the hands of the southern thief."

You Hanting was choked, but he was not angry. He just smiled and handed over his hands to apologize: "It's all my fault that I came back too late to help. I hope the deputy commander will atone for his sins. I really have to avenge the murder of my wife and father."

"Killing his wife and killing his father?" Wen Yi was confused for a moment.

Zhang Meng leaned into Wen Yi's ear and whispered: "I heard that the southern thieves who escaped from Xiqiu attacked Wuding, burned, killed, looted, and wiped out the entire Lu family."

Wen Yi was stunned: "Wu Ding? What about the Zhong family?"

"Except for the Lu family, all the other county residents are fine." Zhang Zhuo said softly, "This is also the strangest thing to me."

Wen Yi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Could it be him..."

"Deputy Commander, it is better to make a decision early so as not to delay the military aircraft and cause any trouble." You Hanting reminded with a smile.

"I've heard about the fact that the supervisors set fire to Xiqiu. Most of the trees in Xiqiu were century-old trees, but half of them were destroyed in the hands of the supervisors. There were complaints and the gains outweighed the losses. Now we can't do this even more." Zhang Zhuo objected. .

"This place is not far from Nanguan. I have sent people to report to the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief will send troops to help. Then the troops will search the forest." Wen Yi looked as before and decided.

You Hanting chuckled: "The coach is a sensible person, and he should also know that setting fire to the forest is the easiest way and the least loss of troops. Instead of the two of you being hesitant when the time comes, it is better to let the subordinates do it now. After all, time does not wait for us. Ah, you two."

Zhang Zhuo naturally looked down on You Hanting's unscrupulous appearance for profit: "If the situation is urgent, then I will lead the troops into the forest to encircle and suppress them." "I will go with you." Wen Yi was worried about Zhang Zhuo going in alone. Forest.

"The deputy commander has to leave the camp before the coach arrives. If something happens in the camp..." You Hanting murmured to himself, more like he was telling Wen Yi.

"Isn't the supervisor here?" Wen Yi smiled slightly, "If anything happens in the camp, I will only ask the supervisor when I return to the camp."

You Hanting calmly nodded with a smile: "I will accept your order."

The jungle was dense and it was impossible to ride horses. Zhang Zhuo and Wen Yi led their troops into the forest on foot, carefully searching for traces of the enemy.

"Wen Er, there is something I have always suspected." Zhang Zhu ordered the people to disperse and spoke hesitantly.

"What's the matter?" Wen Yi poked at the weeds with his sword, carefully searching for traces of Nan'an's army.

"When I came here, I took the road from Wuding. I heard that when the Southern bandits attacked Wuding, they sent people to support them, but when they arrived, they had been completely surrounded by You Hanting. The spy who reported back said that the Southern bandits were dead and wounded. There are only about a hundred people in total, and You Hanting arrived in time, which is not enough to wipe out the whole Lu family, which has servants guarding the courtyard."

Wen Yi was startled when he heard this, stopped his hand, raised his head and guessed: "Then according to Brother Zhang, it was You Hanting who shouted to catch the thief and killed his own Yue family with his own hands?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Zhang Zhu looked solemn and nodded in acquiescence.

"General!" He Ming suddenly pointed anxiously not far away.

The two of them hurriedly followed He Ming's hand and saw a few figures flashing past, wearing clothes that looked like they were from Nan'an.

"Chase!" Wen Yi drew his sword and stepped forward.

"Wen Er! Don't underestimate the enemy!" Zhang Zhuo has been on the battlefield longer than Wen Yi. He naturally understands some unspeakable things, and he feels that it is not simple when he sees this.

And in normal times, Wen Yi would not be like this. He just saw that Nan'an was about to be defeated, and he was unwilling to give up any chance of victory.

Deep in the jungle, a strange look glanced at Wen Yi and Zhang Yu, waved quietly, and several archers behind them set up their sleeve arrows, aiming at Wen Yi.

"Stop!" Wen Yifei stepped forward. Seeing those people getting closer and closer, he threw his sword and blocked the way of those people.

"you……"

"Whoosh -" Before Wen Yi could finish his words, a long arrow came through the air and shot straight into Wen Yi's chest.

Zhang Zhuo, who followed closely behind, hurriedly shouted: "Wen Er, be careful!"

Wen Yi felt there was a wind behind his ears and narrowly avoided it: "I've fallen into a trap!"

"嗖—嗖——" A few more long arrows shot straight at Wen Yi's vitals.

Wen Yi no longer had the weapon in his hand, so he could only pick up a hard dead branch and avoid it with his more agile skills.

Zhang Meng stepped forward to help Wen Yi block the rain of arrows, and ordered He Ming to call for support quickly.

"Master, that is the young master of Zhang's family." There was a hint of hesitation in the archer's voice.

"It doesn't matter." The man in the forest said irritably, "They don't know who we are. Since Zhang Zhuo is here too, let's bury Wen Yi with us."

The archer heard the words and had no choice but to obey, and the arrows he shot became more and more fierce.

Not far away, Wen Yi and Zhang Zhu were standing back to back, always on guard against cold arrows coming through the air.

However, a long arrow shot straight towards Wen Yi.

"Wen Er!" Zhang Zhu flew forward, hugged Wen Yi, and the two of them rolled down the steep slope together.

The man in the forest stopped the archers and said, "The arrows are poisonous. They are more likely to be in danger than others. Let's retreat."
