After Qin Yu blocked more than a dozen arrows with the sword in his hand, he quickly led Li Luo and Liu Ruoyan back more than ten meters. The defenders at the rear quickly ran to the front and built a shield wall as tall as a man, blocking most of the arrows that were rushing towards them. The archers in the Xiangbei Army also quickly counterattacked towards the enemy's ambush between the gaps in the shield wall.
Although the response was timely, dozens of soldiers were still injured by arrows to varying degrees.
The enemy archers who were counterattacked did not persist after losing dozens of people. They all retreated into the woods and disappeared after a while.
Afterwards, Qin Yu did not relax his vigilance, and sent a few scouts to carefully observe the situation ahead. After confirming that there was no danger, he ordered the team to continue walking forward.
Through this sneak attack, the soldiers who had relaxed their vigilance all lifted their spirits and no longer took chances. Therefore, several sneak attacks were encountered after that, and there were not many casualties.
Because of the carefulness along the way, the journey was originally only two or three days away, but it took almost six days to arrive.
And this time, the Xiangbei Army led by Qin Yu finally encountered the first hard bone that was difficult to gnaw during the journey of this campaign.

Black dark clouds densely covered the entire sky, constantly tumbling and surging, the rumbling thunder was muffled, and it was about to rain heavily.
Inside the huge tent, all the commanders of the Xiangbei Army were sitting.
Although there were more than a dozen people sitting, it was extremely quiet inside, and nothing could be heard except the muffled thunder coming from outside. Everyone's hearts were like the sky outside, shrouded in a dark cloud that could not be dispelled.
They have been stationed outside Jingcheng for three months, tried storms, night raids, and wars, but Jingcheng's defense is like an iron barrel, oil and salt will not enter.
Qin Yu, who was sitting at the top, exuded a terrifying chill all over his body. For him, the speed of capture not only meant getting back what belonged to him, but also the person he had always wanted. . One day later means that he has to endure another day of pain that he can't ask for.
There was no expression on Qin Yu's face, but his black eyes were like the deepest night, capable of engulfing everything, making the commanders sitting below dare not breathe out.
Qin Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his sharp eyes swept over the commanders below who all lowered their heads slightly. His voice seemed to have been soaked in a cold pool that had been frozen for thousands of years, making all the people below even more silent. , "Don't all the commanders have any reliable opinions for me?"
As a commander, Qin Yu is very good at winning people's hearts, so even if he speaks to the commander below in such a tone, no one below complains to Qin Yu at all. Instead, they all feel very ashamed and lower their heads. lower.
Just when the whole room fell into such a silent silence, a slender figure opened the tent and walked in.
His face is very fair and handsome, with a pair of long and narrow peach eyes looking forward to shine, and there seems to be a three-point smile when he doesn't speak. The shoulders were thinner, narrower than that of ordinary men, holding an unopened letter with white jade-like fingertips, and hurried in.
Seeing this scene inside, he seemed to be taken aback for a moment, his light red lips pursed unconsciously, and he looked at Qin Yu who was sitting in the main seat.
As soon as Qin Yu saw the person coming, the look on his face softened a lot, and there was a trace of warmth in his eyes, "Mu Cheng, what's the matter?"
Only then did Li Luo walk forward holding the envelope, and handed the letter to Qin Yu, "This is sent by General Nangong, please take a look."
Without any shyness, Qin Yu opened the envelope in front of Li Luo, took out a few thin sheets of letter paper and began to read.
Although Li Luo didn't read the letter, he still knew a little about its contents. In order to know more about Qi Sheng, Qin Yu specially sent a letter to Nangong Ao, asking him about Qi Sheng's situation. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles. By understanding a person's habits and usual methods, it is possible to predict the person's next movement and current motivation and thoughts in a directional way.
Although Qi Cheng has retired for more than ten years, it is still difficult to get used to these things.
After Qin Yu read the letter, he handed the letter in his hand to the commander next to him and asked him to pass it on.
As Qin Yu's adjutant, Li Luo only needs to help Qin Yu handle some of his affairs. Compared with other people, his position is very easy. But this kind of occasion is not suitable for him to stay here. Just as Li Luo wanted to say hello to Qin Yu and turned to leave, Qin Yu stood up, obviously wanting to leave with him.
The following commanders breathed a sigh of relief after Li Luo came in. Seeing that Qin Yu was about to leave, they almost raised their hands and cheered. Under the pressure of Qin Yu's low pressure, they almost felt that their life span Let's shorten ten years!
Some commanders who have a good relationship with Li Luo signaled Li Luo with their eyes to take away Qin Yu, who has now turned into a moving iceberg, at least to give them some space to catch their breath first, QAQ.
