The Simon Army in Monan was the main tent, "Reported to the commander-in-chief, Lord Liu, the governor of Yuzhou, and Commander-in-chief Yang, the Black Cavalry Army, arrived."

"Yeah, please bring them in."

...

He: "Commander Butte?"

Butte: "Mr. Liu, the governor of Yuzhou, Great Wei?"

When Old Butt saw him, a light flashed through his eyes and then said, "Mr. Liu, please sit down."

He didn't politely take Yang Chengyu and Chang Xiong to sit down together, looked up at the old man Bute, with his face full of Zou Wen, and his white hair seemed to be no different from an ordinary old man. But after meeting Old Bute's wolf-like eyes, he instantly realized that the old man was not ordinary, and his eyes were full of wisdom, confidence and domineeringness. But he would not be fooled by the old man's look and said, "Master Bute, I believe you know the purpose of my visit this time, right?"

Old Butt closed his eyes and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Is Commander Butter really confident of defeating the 800,000 Seroy regular army entrenched in the south of the desert?" he asked

"Yes," Old Butt answered affirmatively

Nodded, then said, "Okay, my Black Knight will drag anyone of Shayuan's 600,000 enemies, but..."

"But what?" Old Butt asked back

"I'll give you all the land in Mo Nansha, but I want half of the income in the safety line, including Jester." His tone was very firm.

When Old Butt heard him say he wanted half of the income within the safety line, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at him: "Young man, you have too much appetite and can easily support him. Do you - don't understand?"

"What? I'm holding down nearly half of the enemy's troops for you, Simon, are you not qualified to get half of the income?" He answered in a tough tone again.

"Yes, but these are things that should be discussed after the war. It's too early to talk about these things now?" Old Butt said in a low voice.

He shook his head, "It's really too early to talk at this time. I'm here to tell you this time. It's okay to lose the battle. If I win, I must have half of the income and my attitude remains unchanged. As for the specific attack date, I want to determine it so that the enemy will not notice that it will be bad if it sneaks away part of it."

"Dongchu, if there is no accident." After saying that, Old Butt closed his eyes again

After getting the exact time of war, Old Butt did not intend to stay here. Old Butt obviously did not want to give a formal reply to his half-income claim for the security line. It would be meaningless to stay there. Then he said, "Since that's the case, I'm waiting for good news from Commander Butt, say goodbye!" After that, he stood up and took Yang Chengyu and Chang Xiong out of the camp.

After the three of them left, a person came into Butte's tent again, "Is this person probably the boy in Yuzhou?"

"What? Has the little marquis never seen this person? I just heard that the commander of the Black Cavalry was very young, but I didn't expect that the governor of Yuzhou was even more young. I have never seen such a talented person in my 40 years since I led the army. The Great Wei is indeed full of talents. I, Simon Country, really don't accept it!" Old But said with emotion.

"Haha! The commander is too worried. If the young people of the Great Wei are like Liu Yi and Yang Chengyu, will the Great Wei still fall into such a situation?"

"Oh! Always better than me, Simon. Even though there are not many young people like these two, there are still many. I think Simon, a great country, has fallen to this kind of situation that is not in line with the world. I am very helpless!"

"Haha! If you don't mention that much, Dong Chu will let the commander see how powerful the 300,000 infantry soldiers in the Xihou Mansion of our town." Yue Zhongren said confidently.

"Well, if Zhenxihou can come to my country of Simon, I, Simon, will naturally not disappoint Zhenxihou..."

…………

On the road, the three of them were slowly walking back on horseback.

"Chengyu, what do you think of this old Butte? Neither admit or refuse."

"Well, I feel that this old man has a problem, but I can't think of any specific problem." Yang Chengyu replied

Chang Xiong was a little strange when he heard the conversation between him and Yang Chengyu: "Why don't this old man have to go back on his word after the war? Damn, if this old man dares to go back on his word, I will definitely twist his dog head off as a ball."

He also felt that old Bute had some problems. Like Yang Chengyu, he just couldn't figure out what was wrong. Anyway, he had to settle for 50% of his income. No matter whether Old Bute would regret it or not, he would not change his determination and would not want to go back so much before talking about it.

In the early winter of the 29th year of Tianyuan, the 800,000 troops of Simon Kingdom officially started war against Seroy. He had already brought 300,000 cavalry to block various intersections in the south of Shayuan. There were four main intersections from Shayuan to the south of the desert, with Simon occupying one and Seroy occupying three. At this time, he divided his troops to block all the three intersections controlled by Seroy.

Fortunately, he only needed to help Lao Bute to hold the enemy down, and there was no need to attack the city. But he also understood that once the enemy in Monan was in a crisis of defeat, the 600,000 enemies in Shayuan would definitely go to Monan to support him. His 360,000 cavalry left 50,000 new recruits to guard the supply at the No. 15 post, and all the rest drove to the three intersections of Shayuan. The east side road* gave Murong Wudi, and the west side road intersection was given to Shen Qiu and left Ji Hu and the 5,000 Golden Armor Army to Shen Qiu. The intersection in the middle was the most deadly, so he personally guarded it.

There was nothing wrong with the two countries in the early stage of the war. It was mainly in the later period. After stationing 100,000 black cavalry at the intersection, they played chess with Yang Chengyu every day, and asked Chang Xiong to send more spies to pay attention to the enemy's movements at any time, and there was nothing else.

...

———

"Quickly make a move, what are you thinking?"

"I'm wondering what trump card Old Butt has to win Sai Roy. According to spies, his old opponent, Leo, the ruling minister of Seroy, has also arrived in Monan. Old Butt has played with people for twenty years but has not really beat Leo. Why is he so confident this time?" He wondered.

"What do you do if you think so much? Anyway, we can just help him hold Shayuan. As for whether he can defeat Leo, it's his business. We can't control so much and have no ability to control it." Yang Chengyu replied

Looking at the chess piece in his hand, he sighed, "Oh! The war has been going on for a few days and I don't know how Mo Nan fought. The spy hasn't come back yet, which is really annoying."

Yang Chengyu looked at him with a look of despise, "You're so anxious? At least you have to fail the field battle before you retreat. The battle between the more than 1.5 million troops on both sides can be completed in a short while? Make a move quickly, I'm going to win."

...

He was indeed a little anxious, but what was the situation of Mo Nan’s battle?

———

"Mr. But, is there any situation in Modong?" Yue Zhongren asked.

"Don't worry about that. The 300,000 black cavalry of Yuzhou has blocked the three passages to the south of the desert. Chenos has to pass the 300,000 black cavalry to come and support. Now the 800,000 enemy troops are divided into five groups to fight our army in field. As long as I capture these five intersections, I can completely grasp the initiative in the war. At that time, the siege of the 25 countries in the future will depend on your little marquis's marquis's marquis's army," Butt replied.

...

At this time, how did the two sides fight at the five intersections leading to the inner circle in the south of the Mo River? One of the intersections, "General, the enemy is going to attack again."

"Transfer the order, the first team retreats and rests, and the second team takes over."

"Beat the drum, you must push half a mile to the intersection today." Dong... Dong... Dong... Dong... The rhythm of the war drum is getting faster and faster. The soldiers on the attacking side are all cheering up, staring at the front with concentration, waiting for the order to arrive... As the commander's horse arrives, the general in charge of the army knows that the time for the attack is coming. He draws out his command knife and yells, "Attack..." As soon as he finishes his words, countless soldiers in front of him immediately shouts "Ha... Ha... Ha..." He is lined up and slowly advances forward with neat steps. As the battlefield sounds like a staircase of soldiers, countless sandstorms are rolling up and flying at the soldiers' feet... "Bound soldiers are ready to... shoot", "shoot", "shoot again"... "Rise the shield... gunmen follow up".

The infantry fights crossbows and arrows. No matter whether the enemy has defensive measures or not, it is necessary to shoot several waves of crossbows. Then the shield soldiers are in front and the spear soldiers are behind. If there are cavalry, they will follow the last of the infantry. The infantry set up large military formations in most areas, and there is little difference between desert combat and plains. Both infantry and army are all fighting with military formations. The first thing they bear is the shield formation. As long as the opponent's shield formation is broken, it only takes half a quarter of an hour to completely disrupt the opponent's infantry formation. Once the opponent's formation is in chaos, it will be not far from defeat. The army of both sides will fight with the first goal...

The two soldiers of Seroy saw the overwhelming black dots in the sky opposite to shoot towards them. At this time, they heard the command of several generals from "raising shields, the shield soldiers followed in front of the spearmen." Seroy's army immediately supported countless shields above the heads of the heads of the army. The dense black dots in the sky instantly fell on the shield wall, and after hitting the shield, it made a "buzzing" vibratory sound. "Forward"... "Ha, hehe, hehe..." Seroy's army also lined up in neat formations and shouted and stepped forward. The two sides were less than ten meters apart, "Run! Crash them..." The shield walls of the two armies collided in an instant, and the shield soldiers pushed desperately in front, and the spearmen stabbed out from the gap between the shield formations behind, and each of the crossbow soldiers shot at the two ends.

One of the shield soldiers on both sides died, and one of them was added in an instant, and one of the gunmen was killed. The corpse that fell on the ground would be stepped on by the soldiers in less than an hour into a pool of blood mud mixed with soil! The shouts were earth-shaking. This was a morale competition, and it was also a great confrontation of combat power. Which side could not resist the first, and the other side would fail. The army of both sides combined exceeded 300,000, and they were all blocked at this intersection of less than two miles wide. The shield formation compared the shield formation with a power comparison. The strong side of the side was stronger, which side was closer to victory. Each shield soldier stood behind the shield soldiers to increase the strength of the shield soldiers. The two sides took a step forward and then took another step back. After a long time, the strength of the two sides gradually showed that the Simon army had weakened its strength and retreated more than ten steps in a row.

Yue Zhongren and Lao Bute were standing on a high sand dune at this time, watching the battle at this intersection.

"How many total troops are there in the other party at this intersection?" Yue Zhongren asked

"Yeah, it's about 250,000," Butt said.

"The other party has retained the reserve team, and the opponent's troops are stronger than you. Your Simon country's army has not only not pushed forward, but has been forced back more than ten steps by the enemy. What are you going to do?" Yue Zhongren asked.

"Haha! It's certain to retreat. The distance is too narrow. Since you can't push it, it's better to retreat half a minute. But you can't retreat blatantly. My old opponent is not stupid." But replied with a smile.

"Oh? So you have to ask me to support me in advance?" Yue Zhongren asked again

Old Butt smiled, "Haha! I'm very optimistic about this intersection. Compared with the other four, this intersection is big and wide enough, but the middle part is a bit narrow. If you retreat and cushion, you can also confuse Leo's eyes. Leo's calculations will never happen, but I would never have expected that I would have 300,000 support troops. In half a month, I'll see me breaking through the bottle mouth in one fell swoop!"

...

From a distance, the thrust war advantage of the two armies gradually tilted towards Seroy. The middle position of the Simon army's straight line formation has gradually been bent, while the Seroy formation is protruding towards the bent part. The Simon army formation is forced to retreat step by step by step by step by step by step, and wants to retaliate the Seroy army back unless a large number of reinforcements appear at this time, otherwise they will continue to retreat.

On the battlefield, Seroy's side, "passed the order and the reserve team supported it, and completely pushed the enemy out of the intersection."

As soon as the Seroy reserve team came up, the strength of both sides immediately opened up, and the Simon army retreated more than ten steps in an instant... The shield soldiers shouted, "General, the enemy reserve team is coming, we can't stand it."... "Well, send an order, the entire army keeps the formation slowly and retreat a hundred steps." As soon as the order was conveyed, the Simon army's formation remained unchanged and retreated slowly under the pressure of the enemy. General Seroy saw that the enemy was retreating, and immediately sent an order to "the entire army advance forward". The Simon army retreated a hundred steps in a row, maintaining the formation and continuing a big competition with Seroy...

"Hold on, hold on to me." A hundred-man from the Simon army pushed the shield and shouted, but as soon as he finished shouting, he was pierced through the calf by a spear that broke into the gap in the shield. A soldier immediately rushed up from behind and replaced him. The two spearmen held him up and squeezed out of the battlefield... "The enemy can't hold on." "The gunman, the gun is coming,"... A... a Seroy shield soldier was penetrated by the spear that the Simon army rushed into and fell to the ground. His position was immediately replaced by the soldiers behind. The entire battlefield was filled with shouts. The shouts of soldiers, the collision of shields, the thunder of war drums mixed with the wailings of soldiers stabbed by spearmen, all became the source of motivation for the battle between the two armies...

...The battle lasted for a whole day, and the sky gradually faded. On the battlefield, soldiers on both sides replaced batches of soldiers. The Simon army was forced to retreat half a mile by the enemy all day long. Old Butt saw that it was too late and it was not suitable for fighting at night and immediately ordered the retreat. Seroy completely pushed the Simon army out of the bottle mouth and ordered the retreat. The two sides confronted each other half a mile apart from the bottle mouth at the passage.

No one knows when the next battle will come, and the soldiers on both sides also want to know. Because it is a question whether they will still be alive after the next battle, but no one will tell them how long it will be before the next battle. They can only pray in their hearts that the battle will come later and allow themselves to live for a few more days.
Chapter completed!
