Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 239 The First Counterattack

On the hillside, the prince was lying in the snow, silently watching the path below him.

Beside him were more than [-] sergeants, who had been lying in the snow for a whole day.

The servant Lu Yunxi was very distressed: "Your Highness, I told that onmyoji surnamed Tao that she will set up a magic circle and send His Highness to a warmer place to rest!"

The prince glanced at Lu Yunxi, lowered his voice and said, "Say one more word, and I'll cut your tongue off."

Lu Yunxi was about to cry, he was really distressed: "I don't say much, I don't say a word, Your Highness, what do you think you came here with them?"

This is a big mountain in the north of Yongzhou, and also the northernmost boundary of the entire Daxuan Kingdom, called Xuyu Mountain.

Huanyu means to walk slowly. On this mountain, both carriages, horses and pedestrians walk very slowly.

Because the mountain is steep, the mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and the snow is wet and slippery, if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff.

But this mountain is the only way for Tunu to enter Yongzhou. Chu Xin has received a secret report from the spies that Tunu will have a batch of grain passing through here today.

In the past, secret reports like this were of no value. Chu Xin had no choice but to send as much food and grass as Tunu wanted.

But it is different now, there are more than one hundred Onmyoji in the barracks, as long as one is sent to leave a mark on Mount Xuyu, the Onmyoji will have a way to send five hundred elite soldiers over.

All countries have onmyojis, but only Daxuan has Onmyoji, and only Daxuan can gather onmyojis together to form a powerful combat force. Regardless of Taibu's character, this contribution cannot be doubted.

The heavy snow had just stopped and the weather was very cold. A soldier opened his wine bag, took a sip, and gave it to the next sergeant.

The next sergeant takes another sip and passes it to the next person.

This is the rule in the military camp, fellow robes are siblings, and precious things should be shared.

When the jug was passed to the crown prince, Lu Yunxi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Highness, don't drink this pickled thing. This servant has prepared wine for you."

Lu Yunxi was about to look for wine, the prince took the wine bag from the sergeant, took a big sip, and handed it to Lu Yunxi.

Lu Yunxi had no choice but to take a sip and handed it to Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong took a sip and gave it to Tao Huayuan, but Tao Huayuan refused to drink it.

It's not that she thinks it's dirty, a daughter's lips shouldn't touch a man's wine bag.

Xu Zhiqiong whispered: "How about I take another sip and feed you mouth to mouth?"

Tao Huayuan kicked Xu Zhiqiong, her cheeks were slightly red.

This place is not suitable, Tao Huayuan really agreed to change to another place.

It's really too cold here, even if you can touch Xu Zhiqiong's lips, your body will be warmer.

Yu Shan took a sip and gave it to Bai Zihe, Bai Zihe took a sip and smiled at Yu Shan.

The two of them are not too cold, because the two of them are very tight.

Bai Zihe was Chu Xin's general, even Xu Zhiqiong didn't know she was a woman, seeing her and Yu Shan being so close all day long, Xu Zhiqiong felt a lot of emotion.

Ever since she broke up with Han Di, she never expected Yu Shan to change so much.

Back in front of the Canglong Palace, he was willing to fight side by side with me, he must have taken a fancy to my beauty.

I don't have this hobby!
I'll have to be on guard against him in the future.

A group of people loomed on the snow-covered road.

Yu Shan looked at the prince, and the prince pointed to the mountain road, indicating that Yu Shan could order an attack at any time.

The prince knows some military affairs, but he is a layman in front of Yu Shan. In this battle, the prince is only the commander in name. His purpose of coming to the battlefield is to boost morale.

This is the first counterattack since Chu Xin retreated to the dangerous pass, a counterattack that can hurt Tu Nu, the outcome of this battle is very crucial.

More than a hundred soldiers walked on the mountain road with more than a dozen carriages.

That's it, this is the food delivery team?

Of course not.

These people are scouts responsible for exploring the road, firstly to check whether the mountain road is clear, and secondly to test whether there are bandits on the road.

Bai Zihe looked at Yu Shan, she wanted to see the judgment of this mighty general.

Yu Shan didn't let her down, he lay down in the snowdrift and watched quietly, not thinking of attacking at all.

Coming from a famous family and familiar with military books, this little trick can't fool Yu Shan.

More than a dozen carriages passed by, and after waiting for nearly half an hour, the real grain transport convoy arrived.

Tunu's motorcade was very long, with more than [-] carriages, forming a long queue on the mountain road.

Yu Shan was not in a hurry to make a move, he was looking for the most suitable time to attack.

There are quite a few Tu Nus. Counting the servants who drive the carts, there are almost two thousand people. It is somewhat difficult to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Tunu, who is the leader, is a fat general, riding a war horse, walking in the middle of the convoy.

His name is Tarutu, he is a fifth-grade bear god, and he is a difficult opponent. At the beginning of the battle, Yu Shan should try to avoid confronting him head-on.

When all the food transportation team entered the ambush range, Yu Shan ordered to beat the drums, and the soldiers pushed down the rolling stones and logs from the snowdrifts, launching the first round of attack.

Dozens of carriages were directly crashed to the bottom of the cliff, and the unsuspecting Tu Nu was thrown into chaos.

Talutu was still calm, commanding Tunu soldiers to advance at full speed, trying to cross this mountain road.

This is an experienced general. If he stops to fight back at this moment, there is a cliff on one side and a hillside on the other. In this kind of terrain, the only thing waiting for him is the annihilation of his entire army.

But Yu Shan was already prepared for this. He raised a red battle flag to send a signal to Wu Shanxing.

Wu Shanxing lay in ambush in front of the mountain road. When he saw the battle flag, he immediately led more than a hundred soldiers and rushed down the hillside.

Chu He followed Wu Shanxing with a long knife in his hand. As a lantern bearer, he should be by Xu Zhiqiong's side. Somehow he was bewitched these days, and he and Wu Shanxing walked closer.

"You can follow me closely, this is a tough battle!"

This is indeed a tough battle. If more than one hundred people want to block a convoy of two thousand people, it requires not only courage, but also tactics.

According to common sense, Wu Shanxing should rush directly into the enemy's formation and hold the enemy back in the melee.

But he didn't do this. Once he rushed into the enemy's formation, the enemy would rely on their numerical superiority to partially encircle Wu Sam Sing.

Of course, the goal of delaying the enemy was achieved, but Wu Shanxing was bound to face serious battle damage. These hundred people undoubtedly became the most tragic human shields, and only a few survived.

But Wu Shanxing did not rush into the enemy's formation. He ordered the soldiers to use shields as sleds and quickly slide down the hillside to get ahead of the enemy and form a formation on the mountain road first.

The mountain road was not too wide, and could only accommodate two side-by-side carriages. Wu Shanxing formed a shield formation first, occupying the mountain road, maximizing the advantage of the terrain, minimizing the contact area with the enemy, and preventing the enemy from encircling him.

The only problem is that his army will face the impact of the carriage.

The soldiers in the first row raised their shields, the soldiers in the second row pressed against the backs of the soldiers in the third row, and the soldiers in the third row pressed against the soldiers in the second row.

With these three rows of soldiers, Wu Shanxing firmly believed that he could block the impact of the carriage. After all, the carriage carrying grain was not a war horse. After being frightened, there was a high probability that it would rush down the cliff and would not continue to attack.

The carriage quickly ran into the first row of soldiers, and the soldiers slid a few feet on the snow. Some soldiers even had their arms broken, but they quickly stood firm.

Wu Shanxing gave an order, and the soldiers in the fourth row raised their spears and stabbed the horses through the gaps in the shields.

The horses were injured, neighing and kicking, blood flowed all over the ground, the horses behind them were frightened and made a mess, and many carriages rushed down the cliff immediately.

The tactics worked, even Yu Shan was surprised, Wu Shanxing is really a genius.

The road ahead was blocked, and the Tunu people crowded on the mountain road, and the density suddenly increased, becoming a living target for bows and arrows.

Yu Shan ordered to shoot the arrows, as long as the range is enough, no need to aim, they can be shot.

The enemy general Tarutu was also trapped in the chariot and horses, and he had nowhere to display his cultivation.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Talu Tushe put on his horse, pushed away the crowd, came to the front of the formation on foot, knocked away two shield soldiers with the power of the bear god, and led a group of Tunu people directly into Wu Shanxing's army formation.

This is something Wu Shanxing did not expect, there are very few such brave generals in the Tunu army.

Talutu grabbed a soldier, broke his neck, turned around and slapped a soldier on the face, and pulled the entire face off.

What a fierce monster!

This strength does not seem to be inferior to that of the same product Shadao.

Seeing that Tarutu was approaching, Chu He raised his saber and stepped forward to fight, while Wu Shanxing attacked from the side with his long spear.

These two people only have the cultivation base of the ninth rank of the Dao of Killing, which is really not enough in front of Talutu.

Talutu didn't bother to look at it, and raised his scimitar to block Chu He's saber. When the blades collided, Chu He's saber flew away.

Wu Shanxing's spear pierced Tarutu's left rib, but Tarutu's armor was thick and his skin was also thick. The shot did not hurt him. He grabbed the barrel of the gun and twisted it casually. The spear broke and Wu Shanxing also fell to the ground. .

Talutu stood among the crowd, took a deep breath, and was about to activate the fifth-grade skill—Sound Shock Qiongyu.

If he yelled out this voice, at least half of Wu Shanxing's soldiers would die, and even he and Chu He might not survive.

Just as Talutu opened his mouth, Xu Zhiqiong suddenly appeared in front of him and slashed at Talutu's throat.

The knife was cut so fast that Talutu didn't shout out, almost dying.

He didn't have time to dodge, nor did he have time to parry, so he simply used the eighth-grade skill copper skin and iron bone to carry it hard. Xu Zhiqiong concentrated his energy on one point, and chopped down with one move.

Wu Xu once said that when Xu Zhiqiong was promoted to the sixth rank, he was full of energy, and this move was enough to compete with high-ranking and powerful enemies.

This statement is true, when the knife was cut, Talutu felt his neck go cold, and blood gushed out immediately.

The copper skin and iron bones were broken!
What kind of cultivation is this guy?
Both Chu He and Wu Shanxing were dumbfounded, Yu Shan on the hillside was dumbfounded, and a wave of jealousy welled up in his heart.

Could it be that Xu Zhiqiong's cultivation is already higher than mine?
Now is not the time to think about these things, Xu Zhiqiong is entangled with Talutu, it is a perfect opportunity, Yu Shan ordered the whole army to charge.

Xuan's army was condescending, while Tunu huddled together. After a charge, the winner was already divided. Tunu's army failed to form an effective resistance and was directly defeated.

In such a situation, Tarutu didn't like to fight, and just wanted to lead a few elites to fight for a way out.

Want to run?It's not that easy!

The peach blossom rain fell, and Tao Huayuan set up the magic circle!

Talutu became extremely slow in the magic circle, and Xu Zhiqiong hacked him more than a dozen times.

No matter how rough and thick the flesh is, it can't stand piecemeal cutting. Tarutu, who was seriously injured, was exhausted. Tao Huayuan pierced his heart with a peach blossom branch, and Xu Zhiqiong cut off his head again. .

Tao Huayuan approached, and quietly hooked Xu Zhiqiong's nose, and Xu Zhiqiong secretly squeezed Fat Peach while no one was paying attention.

Yu Shan and Bai Zihe led the soldiers to kill the remnants of the enemy, and it took only two quarters (less than half an hour) to kill Tu Nu.

An ambush battle was well prepared, well-tacticed, well-directed, and fought heartily.

This victory is not only important to the battle situation, but also very important to the prince himself.

Liang Jixiong asked the prince to come to Yongzhou in order to save the foundation for the prince.

In the past few days since he came to Yongzhou, the prince has won many battles and victories. Counting this big victory, he has already accumulated enough foundation.

Tunu had been killed, and there were still hundreds of carts of grain left, the prince gritted his teeth in pain.

These grains are very precious, as are the chariots and horses, but the Onmyoji cannot take them back, and the carrying capacity of the magic circle is limited.

No matter how distressed he was, the food could not be left to Tu Nu. The prince had no choice but to order a fire to burn the food and the chariots and horses together.

Yu Shan was about to lead the soldiers to set fire, when suddenly he saw a group of people rushing up from the bottom of the mountain.

The leading woman, riding a white horse, galloped up the mountain road and shouted loudly: "The food is left, so I spare you!"

The prince shouted angrily: "Who is here?"

The woman replied: "The master of Moli Village, Liu Jiaqi! If you don't want to die, get out of here immediately!"

Xu Zhiqiong was startled.

Jasmine Village?Bandits?
