On the second day, the wind and snow stopped, and the sun came out after breakfast. This sunny day made everyone in Yan Chi feel more at ease. After noon, they rode a fast horse into the Sunset Ridge camp. The soldiers took Chu Feicheng's handwriting and entered the agenda without hindrance.
"Your Highness, this is General Chu's handwriting. Lin Xugui had already started to organize his army last night, and he had already taken the bait. When the villain left, the two sides had not yet fought. However, General Chu was very sure that Lin Xugui would not let General Chu take him with him. The soldiers and horses went outside the main camp. In addition, Lin Xugui seems to know that you have returned to Shuoxi, but he doesn't know when you will appear. General Chu said, just let you send troops according to the original plan, and this battle will surely be won!"
After reading Chu Feicheng's handwriting, Yan Chi narrowed his eyes, "Understood, let's go down and receive the reward!"
The soldiers nodded in response, and Yan Chi immediately called Yu Qi and the others into the discussion tent, read Chu Feicheng's handwriting with them, and then ordered, "I'll give you two hours to order troops, and set off in the evening , before the first watch, we must ambush."
The three generals heard the sound and went out to order troops one after another. Soon, there were footsteps coming and going in the camp.
On the temporarily opened school field, Yu Qi and the others each ordered two thousand soldiers and horses, while Yan Chi sat for a while before heading to the Chinese army tent.
Qin Wan also heard the news of Chu Feicheng's arrival at this moment, and when he saw that soldiers were being ordered, he knew that he was going to leave. Seeing Yan Chi's return, he hurriedly asked, "Do you want to go with me?"
Yan Chi nodded, "We want to go together, but this battle must be won, so you don't have to worry."
Naturally, Qin Wan would not interfere with Yan Chi's decision on the battle. Hearing this, he just nodded and went to pack the armor Yan Chi was going to wear. Seeing that she was worried, Yan Chi suddenly said, "Do you want to go with me?"
Qin Wan never thought that Yan Chi would let her go to the battlefield, so she couldn't help being surprised, "You really want me to go with you?"
Yan Chi came over and held her hand and said, "Wars are extremely cruel. I didn't want you to see them at all, but...but you will always see wounded soldiers and captives, even in our In my camp, there will always be cruel things happening, so I changed my mind again, do you want to go and see for yourself?"
Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat. She is a person who does not want to kill, and human life is extremely precious in her eyes, but these are insignificant on the battlefield. Qin Wan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I think Go see."
The corners of Yan Chi's lips curved slightly, "Okay, I'll ask someone to prepare the armor right now."
Qin Wan didn't refuse this time. After Yan Chi ordered to go on, someone brought a pair of armor suitable for a slender figure. Qin Wan hadn't worn the armor yet, so he was quite excited when he saw it, but Yan Chi looked at it worriedly. Qin Wan, although the Shuoxi army is full of elites, many new recruits are afraid that they can't even hold a knife when they go to the battlefield for the first time. After returning from the battlefield, they will have nightmares again and again, and even more, they will even die because of fear. under the knife of the enemy.
Although Qin Wan didn't need to go into battle to kill the enemy, he was a girl's family after all, and Yan Chi didn't want her to have nightmares because of it.
Qin Wan seemed to know Yan Chi's worry, so he didn't dare to be careless. Before setting off, he put on the armor neatly. Bai Ying, who was traveling with her, was also wearing armor. Both of them were tall and slender. Now Wearing armor, even Qin Wan showed a bit of heroism.
At sunset, the team of more than 6,000 people set off towards their destination!
Qin Wan walked out of the big tent, and saw an extra white horse in front of the camp gate!
The horse's fur was bright, and Qin Wan fell in love with it when she saw it. When she stepped forward, the horse was not afraid of snorting from strangers. Qin Wan smiled, and when she turned her eyes, Yan Chi came from the direction of the meeting tent. , and asked when we got to him, "Do you like her? Her name is Haoyue."
Qin Wan's eyes lit up slightly, "Of course I like it! Haoyue... the name is also nice!"
Yan Chi said quickly, "I picked it just for you. It has a very good temperament. It will be yours from now on."
Today I'm going to follow Yan Chi to the battlefield, so it's not good for the two to ride together, and Yan Chi obviously thought about it, Qin Wan really likes this horse, thinking that he will have a mount that belongs only to her in the future, he can't help laughing , "Then thank you, Your Highness!"
After saying this, Qin Wan got on the horse's back. Her armor was a bit heavy, but her riding posture was neat and neat, and she was very skilled in reining in the reins and raising the whip. In the next minute, Yan Chi got on his own horse and said in a low voice, "Just follow me closely today."
Qin Wan solemnly agreed, and galloped out of the camp after Yan Chi.
Going northeast from Sunset Ridge all the way, crossing two Henglings is the designated place. The col has no name. After Qin Guan followed Yan Chi from the east side of the mountain all the way to the top of the mountain, Yu Qi on the opposite side also took people up the Hengling. On the top of the ridge, the night had already fallen heavily. Yan Chi led Qin Wan along the mountain ridge, leaving the planned ambush site, and turned to the highest place on the mountain ridge, which was halfway from the scheduled ambush site. Li Lu, but you can have a panoramic view of the mountain ridges and valleys on both sides. It can be said that it is the best place to watch the battle, and there will not be much danger. Qin Wan and Yan Chi only have a guard of dozens of people, and Bai Ying is also following. Beside Qin Wan, seeing that this place is so safe, Qin Wan just knew why Yan Chi brought her here...
When they arrived at the place, all the torches were extinguished, and there was no light around Qin Wan and Yan Chi. The cold wind on the top of the mountain became more and more bitter, and the chill seemed to penetrate Qin Wan's armor and the cotton robe under the armor and penetrated into her. Her whole body is cold, but her heart is hot. Standing in the wind like this, Yan Chi stands beside her, and she clearly knows that there will be a war in the future. For a person like her who has never experienced war , It was indeed something that made her nervous but excited.
Yan Chi clamped the horse's belly, and the horse immediately took two steps forward after sitting down. In this way, the cold wind from Qin Wan's upper wind was blocked. During a bright moon, Qin Wan touched the horse's mane, thinking that Yan Chi's name was very suitable for the occasion.
The mountain was covered by heavy snow, and the entire mountain range was covered with a bright white. The bright moon shone on the snowy field, which made the vision of people standing on the high place much clearer. If Lin Xugui's people were standing here at this time, they would definitely be able to Seeing how many murderous intentions were lurking above the mountains on both sides, Qin Wan raised his heart slightly.
"Do you feel scared?" Yan Chi suddenly asked in a low voice.
Qin Wan came back to his senses and shook his head, "Don't be afraid, the God of War who is the best at fighting in Da Zhou is standing next to me, how can you be afraid?"
The corners of Yan Chi's lips curled up slightly, he leaned over and grabbed Qin Wan's hand, and squeezed hard before letting go.
Qin Wan's heart suddenly became completely quiet.
The bright moon was in the sky, although it was cold and threatening, but because of the high position, Qin Wan had a feeling of seeing all the small mountains at a glance, especially when Yan Chi was standing beside him, this feeling of standing side by side with him and seeing the mountains was too much Wonderful, if I didn't follow tonight, I'm afraid it would be difficult to have such an opportunity.
Qin Wan suddenly remembered what Yan Chi had said. He said that he wanted her to stand side by side with him. No matter what height he stood, she would have the same honor.
Qin Wan was full of thoughts for a while, and slowly, the tension in his heart disappeared without a trace, but the calm did not last long, because after only two cups of tea, there was a sudden wave of mountain shaking from the east of the col. With the sound of moving horseshoes, Qin Guan suddenly turned his eyes to look. With this glance, he could only see dense shadows moving fast, and occasionally some torches illuminated them, but it was hard to see clearly...
Qin Wan frowned, and his eyes became serious.
"It's Chu Feicheng." Yan Chi whispered, and at the same time, Qin Wan saw the wolf-patterned battle flag of the Shuoxi Army!
The team that came was exactly Chu Feicheng's team. The closer they got, the more Qin Wan could feel their panic. Although the whole team was running fast, their formation was already in chaos. The soldiers galloped away, and the soldiers behind raised their whips in a hurry, and no one let anyone overtake the front... Such a situation only made Qin Wan think of the word "run for life", but Qin Wan knew that this was Yan Chi and Chu Fei. Sheng's plan!
The team of thousands of people entered the col in such a mess and haste, and soon they reached Qin Wan's feet. When they got close, she saw that the chaos was orderly, although the formation looked loose and disorderly. However, every few hundred people have a standard bearer. These standard bearers wave the battle flag. When their movements change, the team behind them also changes. Seeing everyone scrambling for each other, it’s all because of the previous military order, Qin Wan squinted. Squinting his eyes, his heart was also agitated by the sound of horseshoes shaking the ground.
There were layers of plain snow on the mountain depression, and the team that came suddenly was startled and the snow fell rapidly. But Chu Feisheng's team hadn't walked out of the mountain depression yet, soldiers and horses appeared at the entrance of the mountain depression on the east side, and the new soldiers and horses appeared more than Chu Fei. When Sheng came, the noise was even louder, and the sound of hooves came through the mountains. Qin Wan felt that the mountain ridge he was standing on was trembling slightly, which showed that there were many more soldiers and horses than Chu Feicheng. Wan glanced over, and there were more shadows of people, brighter torches and magnificent battle flags.
It was a big "Swallow" flag one after another, and the dragon pattern on the battle flag was painted in gold, representing the emperor's supreme honor, and it was the pursuers led by Lin Xugui.
The distance between the two parties was less than one mile, and among the pursuers there was the most aggressive one, who could even stick to Chu Feicheng's team and kept firing cold arrows. Qin Wan watched helplessly as the last few people in the team were shot by the pursuers. Qin Wan couldn't hear the soldiers' cries of pain, nor could she smell the blood flowing out, but watching the soldiers fall from their horses, her heart couldn't help but tugged.
She knew that the next scene was what Yan Chi wanted her to see.
Even though he watched his brother fall off the horse, the people who "fleeed" in front did not dare to come back to rescue him. At the same time, the mountains were very quiet, as if there was really no one there. Qin Wan sat on the horse with his back straight. On the back, the unbearable feeling in my heart was about to overflow, but she was firmly suppressed.
No one cared about the soldiers who fell from the horse, but because someone fell from the horse, there were bursts of exclamations in the team, Chu Feicheng's team seemed to be even more frightened, and the pursuers heard this movement, and their murderous intentions became even more serious. , Seeing that he was about to enter the mountain depression, he didn't slow down at all. The only thing that was still quiet on the mountain was the sound of the wind!
Chu Feisheng had already left the mountain depression in front, but the vanguard of the pursuers had all entered the valley. Slowly, more and more pursuers entered the valley. Seeing that the team was getting longer and longer, the vanguard of the troops in front had all entered the valley. When it seemed that they were about to leave the col, Qin Wan saw a faint light of fire on the opposite mountain ridge, and at the same time, Chu Feicheng came back from the direction of the col exit—
The sound of shouting and killing suddenly appeared with the light of the fire, and the sprinting team in the startled mountain suddenly slowed down, and even many war horses were startled, and they ran wildly among the team. It was chaotic first, but Chu Feicheng turned back and blocked the way of the pursuers first!
"There's an ambush! There's an ambush—"
"General! General Lin! We've been tricked—"
The soldiers who came to consciousness began to shout loudly, but at this moment, the rain of arrows like locusts had already fallen towards the chaotic crowd below. Those who set the command flag, soon, the light in the valley dimmed by three points, and the screams became more and more. The bloody smell was finally so strong that it inevitably reached the position of Qin Wan on the top of the mountain. She frowned, and finally knew why Yan Chi can leisurely take her to watch the battle.
Lin Xugui was too careless, and Lin Xie was too careless. Before entering the col, they didn't even have the slightest hesitation. They had been in the capital for a long time and forgot that this was Shuoxi, and Shuoxi was originally the territory of the Shuoxi army. They thought that there were many people and powerful forces. Crowd is an excellent advantage, but it never occurred to him that murderous intentions can be hidden everywhere in the snowy night.
After the rain of arrows, it was still rain of arrows, but the people below couldn't even see the shadows of trees and the shadows of people on the mountain ridge. He was shot down by an arrow before taking two steps.
The situation was almost one-sided, and Lin Xugui, the leader of the army, saw this after all, and immediately shouted "retreat"!
Lin Xie who followed at the side swung away the random arrows shot down from the mountain with his sword from time to time, and said, "General! Why retreat! We have twice as many as them!"
Lin Xugui said angrily, "So what if it's twice as many? The right time and the right place are elsewhere? If we don't leave, we will be wiped out!"
Lin Xie didn't dare to talk nonsense, and looked up, but he really couldn't see where the enemy was, and he didn't know how many enemies there were. Looking around him, there were fewer and fewer people sitting safe and sound on horseback. Lin Xie's hand holding the long sword trembled, and great fear spread over him!
"General Lin! The road behind is also blocked! Someone cut off their rear!"
"General Lin! Chu Feicheng came back from the front!"
"General Lin, our casualties are increasing, where should we retreat?"
Lin Xugui was escorted by himself, and also retreated to the place next to the mountain ridge. This place is temporarily a blind spot to avoid the rain of arrows, but he knows that when more than half of their people are shot, the people on the mountain ridge will be killed. Down, and with enemies in front and behind, they have nowhere to retreat!
"Get back from... from behind! Make a bloody path!"
Lin Xugui waved the sword in his hand, "Did you hear that? Get back! Everyone, kill the people behind! Let's go back the same way! Don't try to escape, there is no way to escape anyway! Do you understand, kill! Kill! go out-"
Lin Xugui was anxious and flustered, his voice was trembling, but when everyone retreated one after another, the people led by Chu Feicheng rushed into the mountain depression like killing gods, and after a while, the front pursuers fell down After covering a large area, Lin Xugui's heart beat violently, and he shouted indiscriminately, but no matter how many times he shouted "kill", it could not boost the morale of the defeated army at the moment. More and more soldiers couldn't even hold their swords. Even the arrows he clearly saw couldn't hide, the casualties accelerated, blood flowed like rivers, Lin Xugui was sweating like rain, he had been in Shuoxi for many days, and he had never been so desperate like this moment—
Just when Lin Xugui's heart and soul were shaking, the rain of arrows like locusts suddenly disappeared.
Lin Xugui was stunned for a moment, and the people around were also stunned, raising their swords and looking around in panic. At this moment, on the mountain ridge, Yu Qi suddenly laughed loudly.
"Servant Lin! General Lin! How about it? My sons of the Shuoxi Army, are you still satisfied with the general?"
Yu Qi's voice was like a bell, with a bit of contempt and contempt, and the voice spread far along the mountain, Lin Xugui quickly blushed!
Yu Qi continued, "In the past six months, Lin Shilang has been occupying the magpie's nest in the main camp for many days. I'm afraid he never thought that there would be a day when he would bring his brother to die today. But Lin Shilang wants to leave his life here?"
Lin Xugui hid tremblingly under a protruding rock wall, and shouted, "Who are you?! Is the traitor Yan Chi here too?! You, you group of traitors who conspired against each other! And... Are you going to catch him without a fight?!"
"Hahahahaha—"
Yu Qi suddenly laughed out loud, "Lin Shilang, since you are so brave, why don't you hide under the mountain wall and watch your soldiers die? Come out and let us see how fearless Lin Shilang is—"
Lin Xugui's heart was beating wildly. How could he dare to show the slightest bit? Seeing this, Yu Qi sneered and said, "You useless boy, how dare you call our Highness by the name directly! The old prince has devoted all his life to Shuoxi! His Highness is even more loyal to defending his family and the country." Wuer! But your emperor’s master, the old man, is stupid! He killed our old prince, and now he still wants us to continue to protect the country for him?! You really deserve to be an emperor! , What are the lives of us people worth to him?"
Lin Xugui was so angry that he couldn't say a word, and Yu Qi snorted coldly when he saw this, "The emperor doesn't care about the lives of soldiers and generals. I don't know if you, Lin Shilang, are still a person? Now our Highness is benevolent and magnanimous. It's not that I don't give you a chance, let me ask you a question, will you surrender or not? If you forget about your old son and master in the future, treat our highness as your respect, and be loyal to our highness, today, our son of Shuoxi army will forgive you You are a dog!"
