Perhaps it was the vigilance he had learned from chasing wild animals in the jungle with Lu Bu. Zhang Mo suddenly felt a fierce force running towards him. A cold light flashed at the end of his eyes. His body had already reacted before his brain, and the blade quickly struck the cold light.

go.

There was a ding sound, and the huge momentum brought by the arrow made her wrist numb. She could not hold the machete, and it fell to the ground. The sharp arrow that was originally aimed at her heart also deflected and grazed her left upper arm.

The arrow cut a blood path one centimeter deep in the arm and then drove into the shoulder of a soldier behind him.

In the distance, Qu Yi's hand holding the bow paused slightly, his handsome face full of surprise. Today, there are only a handful of people who can escape from his magical arrows. The little thief is really powerful!

Looking at the machete that fell to the ground, not only Zhang Mo, Xu Chu, but also Guan Hai broke out in a cold sweat. Guan Hai bent down to pick up the machete for her, guarding her and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Mo took the knife and shook his head. His face remained calm, but his palms were actually sweaty. He had just passed death. It was definitely a lie to say that he had no fear.

Xu Chu glanced at her arm where blood was pouring out, and said to Zhang Feng, "Protect Amo and go back."

At this time, the morale of the moth thieves was greatly boosted, and there was no need for Zhang Mo to lead by example. Moreover, in her absence, Xu Chu and Guan Hai were able to let go of their hands and feet. Their arms were still bleeding, so she did not try to be brave and followed Zhang Feng slowly back to the village gate.

.

Xu Chu stared at Qu Yi who had just fired the cold arrow, took a bow from his horse, raised his hand and gave him an arrow. Qu Yi had been paying attention to the three leaders here, and there was no way that Xu Chu could make a sneak attack.

Easily dodged the arrow.

"hateful!"

Xu Chu's arrow missed, and the anger in his heart had no place to vent. He swung his sword and rushed into Qu Yi's Buqu, slashing randomly. In a short time, he killed more than a dozen of Qu Yi's men.

The instigation of rebellion failed and there is nothing to do today. Qu Yi had planned to retreat before and wanted to kill these surrendered soldiers before retreating. Unexpectedly, Xiaozhaizi came out to cause trouble, and the two strong men in the lead were even more skilled in martial arts. After a while, they

Killed twenty or thirty of his tribes.

This time the troops were not killed, but many of them were killed. Qu Yi felt extremely depressed, but he could only retreat.

Seeing that Qu Yi had fled, Sun Qing ordered the team to stop. After the crowd in front turned into the side road, he ordered the pursuit.

The remaining more than 8,000 old and weak people were finally rescued. Zhang Mo organized people who knew how to swim to go into the river to salvage those who had fallen into the water, and rescued another batch.

The nearest village of these people was two days' journey away from here. The weather was cold at this time and it was impossible for them to go back like this. Zhang Mo also ordered the women in the village to boil hot ginger soup and warm their winter clothes.

Qing Zhuang followed Guan Hai and others out to clean up the battlefield, and harvested more than a hundred sets of armor, thirty war horses, and several weapons from Qu Yi's beheaded tribe.

Because Qu Yi retreated in a hurry, he didn't take away many heavy items such as tents. They could barely accommodate the old and weak after squeezing them together. Now they just wait for the young men who went after them to come back and claim their relatives.

…………

Xi County, the agreed two-month period has arrived.

In the early morning, at dawn, three thousand people had gathered at the camp's west campus outside the city.

On the general point table, Peng Guan was holding a piece of cloth and was reading the rules of today's competition.

"Today's first round of marching speed competition ends at Qishan. There is someone at the foot of the mountain who is responsible for counting the number of people. If the whole team arrives on time, they will get a thousand coins. How much money will be deducted for how many people do not arrive on time. If the whole team is late, there will be no reward for this round.

Results. In addition, if all three teams arrive within the stipulated time and the number of people reaches more than 950, the first team will be awarded an additional 500 yuan, the second team will be awarded 200 yuan, and the last team will be awarded no reward."

"There may be an ambush on the way to Qishan. The weapons and arrows used by the ambush soldiers are not sharp, but they are stained with paint. Any clothes stained with paint will be considered casualties. Those who are injured or killed can no longer participate in the competition."

"As for the ambush, if you and others discover it in advance, the ambush will be invalid and no more attacks can be launched against you."

"There are three roads to Qishan. The number of ambushes is the same in batches. However, the distance and road conditions vary. You will draw lots to choose the route you want to take. No one will complain about whoever you choose."

There were three bamboo slips placed on the desk at the reception desk. After Peng Guan finished speaking, Lu Bu, Hu Zhen, and Niu Fu each stepped forward and took one. Lu Bu looked over it and frowned slightly. He seemed to have bad luck.

The one chosen turned out to be the one with the longest distance and the worst road conditions.

Recently, he has had a rough understanding of the terrain near Yi County. At normal speed, the cavalry will need to walk a full day on the shortest route to Qishan, and the farthest one will take two hours longer, which is almost half a day.

, if Hu Zhen and Niu Fu had known the inside story in advance, no matter how fast his team ran, they would definitely fall behind.

Hu Zhen and Niu Fu looked at their bamboo slips, looked at each other, and smiled.

The two of them had already received information from Dong Yue, and they knew exactly where the ambush arrangements were on the three roads. Now that they had chosen a shorter route, they were sure to win this round.

Dong Zhuo has hardly been to the military camp in the past two months. He just learned about the rules of the competition today, but he frowned slightly after hearing it, obviously not satisfied.

Don't think that because he has been busy making babies recently, he doesn't know about the dirty things among the generals in the army, especially Hu Zhen. Although he is loyal, he also likes to be opportunistic. If he just lets Dong Yue's people act as an ambush, he has no doubt that he will do it.

First, even if you draw the closest route, you will still lose.

He asked Lu Bu, "Which route did you win?"

Lu Bu replied, "Western Front!"

After hearing this, Dong Zhuo's frown deepened and he said to Peng Guan, "No, this rule is not about ability, but about luck. In my opinion, we need to add another rule."

Peng Guan was a little confused. Although route selection depends on luck, avoiding detection and ambushes depends on ability. Why did the Lord say this?

However, he is the lord, and whatever he says is what he says. Peng Guan handed over his hand and said, "Please tell me, lord!"

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said to Lu Bu and the others, "In this way, you can also arrange for people to ambush the opponent on the other side's road. If the main general is killed, the whole team will deduct five hundred coins, and the deputy general will be deducted three hundred coins. If one of the main and deputy generals is killed,

There are no additional rewards. If both the leader and deputy are killed, they will be disqualified from this round of competition."

They may have known about Dong Yue's ambush in advance, but whether the ambush troops sent out by each other can successfully ambush the enemy depends on the ability of each general.

After hearing this rule, Lu Bu's worried expression relaxed. He understood that Dong Zhuo was giving him a chance, and felt grateful to Dong Zhuo. However, Hu Zhen and Niu Fu were a little dissatisfied and were about to object, but heard Peng Guan start again.

Thinking about the two rounds of competition tomorrow, I have to hold it back for now.

"Tomorrow morning, there will be a second round of charge battles. Pairs of duels, limited to half an hour. Once the half hour is up, the casualties will be counted. The total money for this round will be one thousand, and two yuan will be deducted for each casualty."

"Tomorrow afternoon, there will be a third round of breaking the formation. There will be 500 people in each of the three military formations. The first place to break the enemy formation will get 1,000 coins, the second place will get 500 coins, and the third place will get no reward. Finally, the money earned from the three rounds will be calculated.

Ranking."

Peng Guan put away the cloth and looked at the generals below, "Do you understand everything?"

Hu Zhen immediately expressed his opinion, "Didn't I say that Fengxian couldn't participate, so why did he participate in the marching speed round?"

Niu Fu echoed, "No, if he leads a group of people to ambush us, with his archery skills, how can we survive?"

Dong Zhuo glanced at the two men's bearish looks and said, "General, you can't lead troops to ambush. Just don't worry."

"That's pretty much it!"
Chapter completed!
