中午，太陽當頭，已逐去晨日的清冷，此刻讓人感覺身上溫融融，只是方纔的敗仗讓人打從心底裡曖不起來。
齊少錦騎在馬上，感覺著一陣風撫過，望著哀嚎遍野的士兵，望著自己這些精兵。此時，已變成如此落魄，如此狼狽。他緊握著馬鞭，說不出任何話來。不得不說，齊少錦也是一個有傲骨的將領，在薛家之時，他也曾號令精英，叱吒軍場無數年。而今，是他吃過為數不多的敗仗。
兩隻隊伍都是殘潰不堪，誰也想不到，一隻幾千人的巴圖襲軍，把數萬人攆得團團轉。說到底，那些巴圖蠻兵不敢太過張揚暴露，也沒有再繼續追擊過來。
齊少錦羞於面對傅小蛙，在將士面前臉色黑一陣白一陣。他旁邊的副將也是滿面漆黑，不敢再作聲。
如果沒有傅小蛙埋伏斷後，他們還不知道要損失多少將士。
那副將騎馬默立在齊少錦身邊，也不敢作聲，也不知道說什麼。此時，他知道安慰的話語已經沒用，激勵的話語也不適時誼。
該下，是做決定的時候，他們都知道，這一隊超級可怕的蠻兵，是不能再碰到了。
面臨這樣的敗仗，副將還是要問詢齊少錦接下來的命令：「少將軍，您看，我們，我們是不是先撤回城裡，等城裡派大軍前來清剿？」
齊少錦默然，被追打得落荒而逃，他還這是第一次。失敗的滋味確實是讓人心裡苦楚。面對著下面眾士兵的目光，他是羞慚當前。不過，他也知道，那些蠻兵是不能再碰了，這回能逃出來，就已經非常不錯。
看下面的士兵都是心有餘悸，生怕再遇到那些蠻兵。
「好，我們先回城！」齊少錦同意道。
副將頓時欣喜，巴不得飛回城裡，在這外面還是讓人感覺不到安全。就像懸在刀尖上一樣。
「大家聽領。整裝回城！」副將喝聲傳令道。
這時，下面的士兵速度地集合著，有傷的，沒傷的。能掙扎的。都用最快的速度整裝。在這裡一刻都不想多呆。
卻見傅小蛙來到齊少錦面前道：「不行，我們不能回去！」
齊少錦是弄不明白這個傢伙，說不讓去的是他。現在不讓走的也是他，這傢伙到底要鬧哪樣。
說也是有愧對，他也壓著性子道：「沒有聽你的勸告，我覺得很羞愧，我們確實打不過，這一點我得承認，也非常感謝你半路出手相助，但這裡太危險，如今之計是回城搬兵為上策！」
傅小蛙嚴肅道：「少將軍可知他們前來有何意圖？」
這一折騰下來，這個問題齊少錦倒是還沒來得及多想，這傅小蛙問起，他才尋思起來。
傅小蛙幫著他快速整理思路，候大發知道，齊少錦就更不能不知道，他道：「他們是來毀掉樂平大橋，斷我軍後路與供給，這裡離樂平大橋不過十數里地，如果我們回去再來，那樂平大橋早毀在他們手中，介時我軍將大亂，浩城之戰更是汲汲可危，齊少將軍您可清楚事情的緊要？」
這一說，齊少錦眉關緊皺，這事情確實緊要，如橋被毀，那就跟傅小蛙說的一樣，後果不堪設想。
「那你說我們究竟要怎樣？」
「我已經派了人回去匯報情況，現在，我們要做的就是死守樂平大橋，等候支援！！！」傅小蛙的聲音字字落地有聲。
下面的士兵已經面面相望，議論聲四起。
齊少錦道：「可是，我們如何守得住樂平，這些蠻兵都是修行者，以一敵十都不為過，我們現在一共起來，也不到三萬人！」
算起來，這只精銳的蠻兵，相當於六七萬之眾的戰鬥力！
「打得過也要打，打不過也要打，我們是軍人，軍人的使命就是死在他應該死的地方，與其死在破後的浩城，不如死在這裡的長橋之上！」
傅小蛙的聲音震喝著齊少錦，齊少錦望著傅小蛙的眼睛，那是視死如歸的眼神。雖然他與這人接觸不久，卻已充分領略過此人的驚人事跡。如今，他正在經歷一個完整的故事。
那些土匪兵此時已是熱血沸騰，他們早已視死如歸，與其血戰，那便血戰。
齊少錦深吸一口氣，閉上眼睛，淡淡地下令道：「駐守，長橋！」
樂平大橋，這是通往皇城的唯一大橋，橋下樂平河滔滔滾滾川流不息。本地人都知道，樂平河之凶湧，就連最老熟的船夫都不敢經常往來。相傳，為在樂平河上建起此橋，總共花了十六年，才建起這一座石木結構的大橋。
站在大橋上，聽聞著腳下河水咆哮，縱有一種豪壯情懷。
因為傅小蛙等人走的是官道，而那些襲兵走的是山道，所以傅小蛙等人要早到一步。此時的士兵已經在大橋駐防。駐防又無法利用橋的狹小優勢，因為根本就不能讓襲兵靠近大橋，所以只有靠近浩城這一橋頭設防。
傅小蛙與匪兵都埋伏在官道兩邊，齊少錦的軍隊在橋頭駐防。
太陽，繼續炙烤著大地，官道上依然平靜如昔，地面，升起著裊裊熱氣。氣氛很緊張，一副山雨欲來之勢，人們，已經望忘記了烈日下的乾渴，一動不動地注視著官道的盡頭。
傅小蛙的額頭，已經流下一縷汗水，不知道是緊張，還是天氣的炎熱。
出現了，果真，在那官道的拐角，一隊蠻兵已經出現，從山道上而來的蠻兵在山下集合，直直的朝著這樂平大橋而來。
曲曲幾千人，竟然也讓人有如此威壓。身後揚起滿天塵土，這只奇襲部隊，完全無視三萬人的駐防直衝而來。
「射！」
傅小蛙見襲兵已進入埋伏圈，立即下令，只見滿天箭雨從天而降，那先頭的襲兵被射翻了好些人。卻見後面人的腳步依然，這些蠻兵凶狠無比，衝刺速度也非常驚人。
「殺！」齊少錦也揮起長槍，號令迎敵。
方纔他們才吃完敗仗，旗下士兵都十分恐懼這些蠻兵。士氣十分低落。傅小蛙的弓箭手在官道兩邊齊射。也面臨著衝擊而來的蠻兵。這些蠻兵有修為，速度快，閃躲也強，面對著箭雨也損失不多。很快就衝到傅小蛙面前。
傅小蛙跳出掩體。與前鋒撕殺在一起。
這是用生命與血肉換來的時間。不知道浩城的援兵什麼時候才會來，撕殺很慘烈，普通人面對修行者。就像是屠殺一樣，士兵正在損失。
弓箭手梯隊在官道兩旁邊設了一層又一層，傅小蛙邊打邊退，防禦一層又破一層。
（拖欠半章，一下補上！！！！！！）
