The Sword Dynasty

Chapter 566: night fire

Views:

These white figures are all wearing white cotton gowns. The cotton gowns are very rough, and the white is mixed with natural dots of light gray, but they are very similar to the color of this snow valley at this time.

The most important thing is that the white of these white robes set against the black scabbard below. These figures marched in an orderly manner, with that silent and stern temperament, Song Wei could tell at a glance that this could only be Qin Jun.

The duty of guarding the outpost at night is to warn the enemy at the fastest speed when the enemy situation is discovered at the first time. However, Song Wei looked at these white figures walking silently at this moment, and the thought in his mind was that even if the enemy was warned, would it still be useful?

In just this moment, the number of white figures appearing in his line of sight has far exceeded two thousand, which is already double the number of defenders in Xuegu Pass, and the white figures in Xuegu Pass are still emerging.

Song Wei couldn't understand why such a large number of Qin troops made a breakthrough here, but he was sure that this Qin army must have a more important mission, and the purpose was not to take Xuegu Pass at night.

That useless thought only hovered in his mind for a few breaths. In the next moment, he exhausted all his strength and smashed the porcelain bottle that was already tightly held in his hand out of the hidden camp. .

The mouth of this porcelain bottle is sealed with wax, and what is inside is red phosphorus cinnabar that has been made by special means. As long as the bottle is broken and exposed to air, no matter it is in any cold place, it will immediately ignite a bright flame.

However, Song Wei just made this gesture of throwing fiercely, but the porcelain bottle did not fly out of his hand.

An extremely cold wind came from outside the tent, blowing into the tent, and penetrated into the depths of Song Wei's body along Song Wei's hands.

Song Wei opened his mouth in horror, but he couldn't make a sound. It wasn't just him. From the corner of his eyes, the five people who were crowded next to him were also instantly "frozen" by this gust of cold wind.

He watched helplessly as the white ghostly Qin army passed silently on the road below until no new white figures appeared at the end of the army. The total number of this Qin army had exceeded 5,000!

What surprised him even more was that the several checkpoints behind him also did not make any sound, and this Qin army pressed down on the sleeping Xuegu Pass extremely smoothly.

"Don't warn the police, the people in Xuegu Pass already know about it."

When the last few soldiers of the Qin army passed the road below for tens of breaths, a strange and young voice suddenly came from Song Wei's ears.

Deeper fear and shock spread in the cramped space of the camp.

A few feet outside the tent, a young man appeared at unknown time.

The young man was wearing an ordinary black cotton robe, and his face was covered with a black cloth.

He stood calmly, completely opposite to the oppressive atmosphere that Qin Jun was pressing towards Xuegu Pass at this time, giving off a very weird feeling.

"What's the meaning?"

"who are you?"

Song Wei inexplicably found that he was able to make a sound. He lowered his voice, suppressed the shock in his heart, and drank a few words. Just based on the other party's accent, he can be sure that the other party is definitely not from Chu.

"Don't be nervous, if I were with Qin Jun below, you would be dead by now."

The young man turned around slowly, glanced at Song Wei, and said.

This is by no means a matter of personal life or death. Song Wei took a deep breath and said in a slightly trembling voice: "The people inside really already know?"

"Before coming here, I have notified the inside."

The young man didn't make riddles, and said: "The more the Qin army thinks that your Xuegu Pass is unprepared, the more they will attack freely, and you will be able to defend Xuegu Pass."

Five times as many enemies, no matter how lax the tactics are, how can they defend it

This was the first thought that came to Song Wei's mind.

But for some reason, the extremely calm eyes of this young man made him not say such words directly at the first time, but asked subconsciously: "So many Qin troops are going to pass here, and such The number is here, and you still use this method of sneak attack in the dark, what exactly are you going to do?"

"Dayong Pass."

The young man simply spit out three words, and then knew that Song Wei couldn't understand, so he explained directly and quickly: "This Qin army will raid Dayongguan with the fastest speed, as long as it can burn your forage field in Dayongguan , after more than ten days, the 40,000 to 50,000 troops in your area will be extremely disadvantaged."

Song Wei is not a general, but he is a veteran who has served here for many years, and he reacted almost immediately.

During the war, the forage field at Dayongguan would provide fodder to the two border towns of Juyong and Zhushan, and those two border towns were extremely important transit border towns for transporting grain and grass on the border of the Chu army.

If the large number of troops and horses in these two border towns cannot get enough fodder, even if these two border towns are not lost and there is enough army food, it will be extremely difficult to transport them out effectively.

At this moment, even Song Wei realized that if the Xuegu pass is broken and the Qin army succeeds in quickly attacking Dayongguan, then the loss of several seemingly inconspicuous checkpoints along the way may cause serious damage to the entire battle situation in an instant. big impact.

This is definitely a terrible loophole.

Prior to this, the general Shangfeng of the Chu army should not have noticed the movement of the Qin army, and had no time to plug this loophole.

Thinking of these scary things, Song Wei was in a cold sweat.

"You can burn cinnabar now."

At this moment, the young man turned to look at him and said something calmly.

Song Wei was dumbfounded again, and then realized that the young man wanted him to throw the porcelain bottle in his hand.

"quick!"

The young man uttered a word hastily, with a palpitating force.

Song Wei saw that the Qin army was no more than ten feet away from the wall of Xuegu Pass. He gritted his teeth and threw the porcelain bottle in his hand.

With a bang, a flame burst out on the hillside.

This fire glowed purple, like a long candle flame, when it was blown by the wind, it spread out like countless purple fireflies, flying up and flying all over the sky.

The dots of purple fireworks set off the white snow below, which is very beautiful. If it is usually romantic, but at this time, it only gives people the feeling of suffocation and death.

On the high wall of Xuegu Pass, dozens of generals of the Chu army stood like stones, and their moods were extremely tense.

In front of them stood a female cultivator.

This female cultivator stared coldly at the Qin army rushing forward. When the flames surged on the hillside in the distance behind, she didn't even glance there from the corner of her eyes. All her perception and attention were concentrated On Qin Jun below.

Many people in the ghostly Qin army turned their heads at this moment.

But she was the only one who captured the difference at this moment. Among these people, she found the person with the fastest physical intuition, the first person to notice the abnormality on the hillside behind, and the first person to turn his head.

Her perception fell on the man.

Even if this person is not the chief general of this Qin army, he is at least the most cultivated existence in this Qin army.
