It is said that whenever it is cloudy and rainy and the moon is full in the middle of the night, there will often be faint cries from Luowuling. Even during the day, people avoid it. At night, no one dares to approach Luowuling.
Under Yan Yingyuan's scolding, everyone had no choice but to walk into the woods. Just a few dozen feet into the woods, Zhai Fu suddenly exclaimed: "Look... what is that!"
Everyone quickly looked towards the tree and saw a group of will-o'-the-wisps slowly fluttering by the forest in the dark night. It was scary and scary. "Ah!" For a moment, everyone's scalp was numb and they felt panicked;
Xiaoshuang and the other girls screamed and hid in the arms of Guo Shaohan and the others.
"Light the torch!" Yan Yingyuan shouted. When everyone hurriedly lit the torch, he jumped off the horse, strode towards the will-o'-the-wisp with a big knife, and shouted, "Yan Yingyuan is here, why don't you come soon?" Go back to the underworld quickly..."
Perhaps it was a coincidence that the will-o'-the-wisp actually slowly fell down and then extinguished under Yan Yingyuan's loud shout.
If Qin Mu were here, he would know that phosphorus is easily produced in places with many dead people. Generally, phosphorus fires that spontaneously ignite do not burn for a long time. This phenomenon has nothing to do with Yan Yingyuan's two loud shouts.
But these days, people still don't know what the phosphorus fire is, and they all regard it as a ghost. Just when Yan Yingyuan shouted twice, the will-o'-the-wisp disappeared. Everyone naturally thought that Yan Yingyuan scared the ghost away.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Yan Yingyuan with strange eyes, but his surname was Yan, and the Qing army called him King Yama...
"Hahaha!" Yan Yingyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed a few times, which made the mountain birds fly away and echoed throughout the forest. "Don't be afraid, no matter whether he is a lonely ghost or not. We are very murderous, even if he is alone. Even ghosts have to stay away. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
"Yes, with General Yan here, there is nothing to be afraid of." Guo Shaohan seemed to have something else in mind.
Well, with King Yama on our side, do we still need to be afraid of lonely ghosts? Everyone laughed dryly, probably more to vent their fears.
After Yan Yingyuan led everyone to settle down in the forest, they had nothing to do all night. Early the next morning, Yan Yingyuan immediately assigned tasks. The first was to get in touch with Ye Bushuang in Shangqiu. At the same time, we must maintain coordination with Meng Ke's army. On the other hand, we must immediately start making arrangements and strive to completely annihilate the target.
Zhai Fu was sent to Shangqiu City to contact Ye Bushou's spies;
Within a radius of twenty miles of Shangqiu, Qing army sentries were all over the place, and the inspections were extremely strict;
Fortunately, Zhai Fu was from near Shangqiu, and his Henan dialect was very "intermediate", so he managed to get out of the city without any danger. Got in contact with Ye Bushou's spy.
There are dozens of dilapidated thatched huts in Zhoujia Village outside the city, but Zhai Fu unexpectedly received a surprise gift from a man here;
According to Wu Laosi who was hiding here at night, they successfully brought back an important figure in Shangqiu City. Gushan'e Zhenye Chenlue.
After receiving the news, Zhai Fu was overjoyed and conspired with Wu Laosi a lot before leaving in a hurry.

now. On the land of China, it can be said that the situation is turbulent and the world is turned upside down.
Thousands of miles away in the northwest. Li Dingguo's 60,000-strong army divided into four groups and swept across Guanzhong, northern Shaanxi, and Hetao. The soldiers pointed to the right of Longxi, and the beacon smoke was billowing, and their momentum was like broken bamboo, covering all directions.
Two thousand years later, the "Qin" banner, which was so dark, so solemn, and full of power and strength, once again covered the sky and flew over the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan River.
The roar of "Jiujiao Lao Qin, restore our rivers and mountains; until the blood is shed, there will be a truce to the death" once again shook the Qinling Mountains that had been sleeping for thousands of years, and the mountains responded in harmony, like the roar of a dragon!
In Heluo, Ling Zhan and Gao Yigong's soldiers and horses were also advanced by Gao Ge. Wherever the battle flag passed, smoke and dust filled the air, iron hooves were like rain, and they roared like thunder. All the prefectures and counties looked at the wind, and the dragon gate waves rolled over Han. The wind, the towering Tongguan Pass has been low for a long time, the three armies roared, and the people cheered, sweeping away the smelly smell all over the ground.
In the northeast of Xuzhou, Ma Yongzhen rode with 40,000 paces. He was as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, and invaded like fire. He flowed to the Cai River in Kaifeng. The Han wind rose again, blowing green waves in the river;
On the green waves, Su Dongpo's chant seemed to be echoing again: The wine is drunk, the chest is still open, and the temples are slightly frosted, so what's the problem? In the cloud of holding the knot, when will Feng Tang be sent? He can hold the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, and shoot at the wolf!
How could the great China, the ancestral land of the Central Plains, be reduced to the humiliation of Hu Chen? The imperial capital of Song Dynasty, the Han family's couch, could not allow others to sleep soundly.
Ma Yongzhen leaped on his horse and raised his spear, and the three armies rolled like a roaring sea, rolling directly into the ancient city of Kaifeng. Thousands of horses neighed, and the wind blew thousands of miles of dust.
In Huaibei, Meng Ke's 100,000-strong army left Xia Yi and the former capital of the Xia Dynasty. They raised smoke and dust straight into the sky. In the fields, wild beasts fled and birds flew away in fright.
The mighty men in black armor sang loudly, "How can I say that I have no clothes? I share the same robe with you. When the king raised his army, I repaired my sword and spear. I share the same hatred with you." The blood debt owed by Jiannu is too numerous to be recorded. On the 10th day of Yangzhou, Jiading Three massacres, the land of China was filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and ten rooms were empty.
The King of Qin raised his army and vowed to avenge blood. The officers and soldiers of the three armies looked north to the Central Plains.
Along the way, the people listened to the war songs of the Qin army, looked at the banners covering the sky, and reflected the light of the swords, and cried hoarsely. From now on, everyone will no longer wander around in the middle of the night and sigh sadly, "The tears of the remaining people are all in the dust, and the king's division is looking south again." one Year.
The King of Qin’s banners cover the sky! The King of Qin’s banners cover the sky! No matter men, women, old or young, who can hold back his voice and not burst into tears without bursting into tears.

Tan Tai was ordered to lead 10,000 cavalry out of Shangqiu to greet Meng Ke. He had so many horses that the Qin army's cavalry could do nothing to him. They could only watch from a distance like a pack of wolves, but there were exceptions.
That night, Tan Tai set up camp in Yanghuapu, a hundred miles south of Shangqiu. After sending out a sentinel, the soldiers ate some black buns and just fell asleep when the daring Qi Yan team arrived. And it was done openly.
Just like Guo Shaohan claimed that he was a descendant of Guo Ziyi, Qi Yan also claimed that he was a descendant of Wei Jiguang. Guo Shaohan's ancestor has been through thousands of times, and it is impossible to verify the authenticity; Qi Yan is really a descendant of the Qi family, although he is only Qi Jiguang's. A close branch, but indeed a descendant of the Qi family in Dingyuan County.
It was just the first watch, and usually no one would choose this time to attack the camp. It was too early, and they were not yet asleep. The descendants of famous generals are different, but Qi Yan chose this time. He and his subordinates Shen Daqian, Ye Guigen, Qiu Sanzhang, Yan Xiaoman, Yan Xi, etc., totaled thirty people, including one.
Thirty people carrying torches brazenly attacked a camp of 10,000 enemy troops. You probably wouldn't believe it if you told them about it, but Qi Yan and the others did just that.
They first contacted another group of troops led by General Banner Li Huan. Qi Yan and the others still pretended to be Qing troops. The first step was to set fire to a forest ten miles away to create a huge momentum, and then from here, let Li Huan lead his troops to chase him all the way.
As Qi Yan and the others fled to Tan Tai's camp, they shouted in Manchu, "Meng Ke's army is coming! Meng Ke's army is coming!" Just like that, they kept shouting in panic. Behind them, Li Huan's Fifty people desperately pursued him.
The Qing army police sentries scattered outside the camp were all shocked when they heard the screams of "Meng Ke's army is coming" and saw the flames soaring into the sky ten miles away.
Qi Yan and the others abandoned their helmets and fled "back" to the camp desperately. Seeing how frightened they were, the Qing army's rangers responsible for peripheral security were so frightened that they forgot to stop Li Huan, let alone Qi Yan and the others.
In this way of being "hunted", Qi Yan's thirty people miraculously "escaped" into Tan Tai's camp.
If it was an army with high morale and tight defense, Qi Yan and the others would never be able to rush into the camp so smoothly.
However, the morale of the Qing army was already low. Even the commander-in-chief Tan Tai was just forced to go to the shelf. Ten thousand people came to meet Meng Ke's 100,000 army. Everyone was already frightened. When they saw the fire in the distance, everyone believed that it was true. What happened was that the Qin army came to kill him.
Then Qi Yan and others rushed into the camp and shouted "fear", and the whole camp suddenly exploded. The Qing soldiers who had just slept rushed out of the tent in a panic, "You call me shouting."
"what happened?"
"The Qin army is coming to kill, the Qin army is coming to kill."
"No, we are surrounded..."
"Where is the Qin army? Where is it?"
"Look over there, there's a big fire, there's a big fire..."
"ah!"
Qi Yan and others held torches, and no one in the panic of the Qing army noticed. Each of them held not one torch, but several. In the night, they screamed and rushed in panic. With a snap, another A torch fell under the tent and quickly ignited the tent. With the fire, the camp became more chaotic. This was a trivial matter. Gu Yan and the others' target was the stable where the Qing army kept their horses.
"No, Meng Ke's army is coming, run!" Qi Yan shouted hoarsely, leading twenty-nine brothers and running towards the Qing army's horse ring...

ps: "Fish against the current is a destiny. It's not that I don't want to bow my head, it's the tears that make people sting." I particularly like this lyric. I can be considered a fish against the current. My education level is so low that I even gave up on graduating. Writing novels is a joke to others. I have been working hard for several years, many days and nights, even though I received a thousand yuan in manuscript fees every month, plus the perfect attendance bonus, I only made up two thousand yuan, and I had to deduct 20% of the tax, but... Unwilling to bow, unwilling to give up. I was in a bad state the past two days, so I just watched the movie "Old Man: The Dragon Crosses the River". After watching it, I was filled with emotions. I am also an older person. I have accomplished nothing, but I am still obsessed with a misty dream. Hold on. I know that maybe I will never become a great god, but I don’t know what else I can do if I give up on my dream.
I will stick to it. Continue to be a fish against the current, although it is very bitter.
What I want to tell the brothers is that since July, with the support of the brothers, the results have been much better, and the number of subscriptions has also increased. I really hope that such results can be maintained, although I know that this hope is a bit extravagant. Anyway, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I can buy two boxes of decent mooncakes for my elderly parents.
Eating the mooncakes given by his brothers, his heart was full of gratitude and thanked everyone for their support. Haozi bowed his head and wished everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
Finally, I would like to express my special thanks to friends such as Shuangrufeng, Huaxia~Huangdi, Qiuzhi Shenguang, etc. Thank you! I also wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
.(To be continued...)
