Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

When Zhao Yunjun heard this, he nodded slightly, feeling that his worries just now were indeed unnecessary.

Zhao Defang added: "Besides, the Jinwu Guard's large army is still behind. If we return now, we will run into them. When the two armies attack us, we will not be able to resist it."

"I will finally understand!"

Ever since, the Song army began to return towards the way they came.

Master Nagarjuna laughed loudly when he saw this, "These people from the Song Dynasty are indeed timid young people. They were scared away by us, but they actually chose to turn back. It seems that sooner or later they will be defeated by Lao Na."

"Master is wise and powerful, the people of Song Dynasty are destined to fail." The disciple next to him said flatteringly.

Master Nagarjuna waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't flatter me, send an order to the brothers to have extra food tonight."

"As ordered!"

"Master, the Song people are so timid, should we send scouts to keep an eye on their movements to prevent them from sneak attacks at night." A monk behind him suggested.

Master Nagarjuna shook his head and said: "There is no need! Although the Song people's cavalry is powerful, they cannot break through the obstacles we have set up, let alone threaten our camp. So there is no need to waste energy staring at them."

Although Master Nagarjuna said this modestly, he actually said it with a strong sense of confidence.

There are more than a thousand Jinwu Guard scouts stationed around Dragon Bone Canyon. There are hundreds of cavalry among them.

With this power, even if the Song Army cavalry charges with all their strength, it is impossible to break through the obstruction, and they can kill dozens of Jinwu guards at most.

Not to mention, there were hundreds of scouts guarding the north and south ends of Dragon Bone Canyon. It was impossible to capture Dragon Bone Canyon even if the Song Army's cavalry charged.

This is why Master Nagarjuna is so calm.

"Master, your judgment is indeed correct. The Song army does not dare to attack our camp."

At the north and south ends of Dragon Bone Canyon, on the top of two towering mountains, Zu Zande, the commander of the Jinwu Guards, was hiding on the edge of the cliff, staring closely at the dense Song cavalry below.

The terrain of Dragon Bone Canyon is very unfavorable for the cavalry, especially the Song Army's cavalry, which is still the best among the cavalry, and is even more at home.

As long as the Jinwu Guard scouts are slightly negligent or slow down a little, they can easily be discovered by the Song army.

This also makes the scouting efficiency of Jinwuwei scouts very poor.

But for Zu Zande, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, his responsibility was to keep an eye on the Song Army's coach and find an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Defang as soon as possible.

"Sir, procrastinating like this is not the way to go. I estimate that the Song Army will find us soon, and we should take measures." The soldier beside him whispered.

Zu Zande pondered for a moment and said: "Brothers, be prepared. If the head coach of the Song Army appears, be sure to kill him!"

"Yes!"

Afterwards, the Jinwu guards on both sides of Dragon Bone Canyon immediately began to get busy, setting up their bows and arrows, and getting ready to meet the enemy.

At the same time, Zhao Defang and others had returned to the military camp.

"How's it going? Have you found out about the enemy?" Zhao Defang asked hurriedly as soon as he returned to the military tent.

The deputy general in charge of scouting and reconnaissance shook his head and said: "Commander, no enemy troops have been found. They seem to have retreated."

Zhao Defang frowned slightly, he always felt that things were not that simple.

Master Nagarjuna's strategy is not so easy to see through.

"Commander, do we want to continue the attack?"

Zhao Defang thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "No need!"

He did not think that the Jinwu Guards would give up the terrain of Dragon Bone Canyon. This dangerous terrain would definitely become the best place for their ambush.

"Then what do we do?"

All the generals asked.

Zhao Defang said: "Send the order, everyone be on guard and guard to the death."

All the generals said "hey" together.

……

The Jinwu Guard scouts at the north and south ends of Dragon Bone Canyon still maintained a high degree of vigilance, staring at the dense Song army below.

But at this moment, they were surprised to see three Song soldiers slowly walking out of the grass in front of them, holding spears in their hands and looking at them with cold eyes.

"What is going on?" The Jinwu Guard's scouts were all confused.

What is Song Jun doing? Could it be that he discovered their existence and was preparing to fight them?
But they soon knew the answer.

Three Song soldiers ran straight towards them, getting closer and closer, and their momentum gradually became fierce.

The spears in the hands of the three Song soldiers thrust forward suddenly.

"what!"

The Jinwu Guard's scouts were caught off guard, and five or six of them were pierced by spears on the spot and fell off their horses screaming.

The expressions of the remaining scouts changed wildly, and they immediately turned around and ran back.

"call out!"

Then they heard the sound of bow strings trembling from behind, followed by severe pain spreading throughout their bodies.

"what……"

"boom!"

The scouts of Jinwu Guard fell to the ground one after another.

"Sir, the Jinwu Guard's scouts have been dealt with, please give instructions!"

"Pack up the loot and clean up the traces!"

"Here!"

After Zhao Defang finished his instructions, he picked up the arrow that had just been shot from the ground, looked at the blood stained on it, and murmured: "I didn't expect that the Jinwu Guards really didn't dare to fight with us in the wild. It seems that my guess was right, that Master Nagarjuna really wants to use this method to attract us to attack, but he is too naive and really thinks that we will be stupid enough to confront them head-on."

In the western section of Dragon Bone Canyon, the Jinwu Guards scout camp.

"Sir, the scouts in the east, south, north and south sides of Dragon Bone Canyon were all ambushed and suffered heavy damage."

"What? What did you say?"

The face of the scout leader Hols suddenly turned gloomy and shouted: "How is this possible? Our scouts are divided into four groups, each group has at least dozens of people. How is it possible that all of them were lost in the hands of the enemy in just half a day. Unless... …”

"Unless the enemy is hiding in the dark and suddenly appears to ambush us when we are relaxed. But is this possible?"

"But this is the fact. Of the four groups of scouts, only three groups escaped. The remaining three groups of scouts were completely destroyed." The scout leader said bitterly.

"asshole!"

The scout leader Hols roared: "The Song army must have discovered our position, so they deliberately ambush near Dragon Bone Canyon."

"But sir, according to the Song Army's marching habits, they can't hide so far away, unless they already knew that we would ambush here and sent scouts to lurk here in advance."

Hols frowned and said: "But this is impossible. The information we hide here is a secret, and the Song Army cannot know it. Besides, the Dragon Bone Canyon is so big, how can the Song Army be sure that we will choose the Dragon Bone Canyon as our ambush location."

He really couldn't figure out what went wrong.

No matter what, since the Song Army was able to kill three groups of their scouts quietly, it proved that the Song Army had a large number of scouts arranged in Dragon Bone Canyon and even knew their specific locations.

If they hadn't ambushed in the Dragon Bone Canyon in advance, how could they have easily killed three groups of their scouts?
"wrong!"

Suddenly, Hols thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he said: "It's possible that the Song army had expected that we would ambush, so they deliberately set up a trap to lure us into the bait, and then surrounded and annihilated us."

When the other scouts heard this, they all gasped and cursed in their hearts, damn, this Song army is so cunning, they actually know how to set traps to harm us.

"Sir, what should we do now? The Song army has clearly blocked up its chariots and horses outside the Dragon Bone Canyon. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to fight through!" the scout leader said worriedly.

"If you can't beat me, you have to beat me!"

Hols snorted coldly: "You should go to Commander Zuzander for support. Remember, this matter must be kept secret and must not be leaked."

"I obey my orders!"

"Go!"

The scout leader hurriedly left with several scouts.

After they left, Halls immediately took the saber at his waist, turned over and mounted his horse, and said to the confidant next to him: "Let's go, follow me to find Master Zuzander!"

"Sir, let's go find Master Zuzander now?" The confidant asked in shock: "Have you forgotten the general's order and not allowed us to expose our whereabouts?" Hols sneered: "Although we are scouts, we are not fools. , No need to be led by Song Jun like an idiot."

"Now that Master Nagarjuna is in Dragon Bone Canyon, we can report this matter to Lord Zu Zander, and then use Lord Zu Zander's power to seize the entire Dragon Bone Canyon."

The confidant suddenly realized it and said excitedly: "Your Excellency is wise!"

……

The eastern section of Dragon Bone Canyon.

Song army scouts are clearing the battlefield.

Their movements are skillful.

Because the Song army and the Tubo soldiers fought many times over the years, they were basically familiar with the Jinwu Guard's various routines.

They had fought this kind of small-scale encounter more than ten times.

Soon, all the bodies were cleared away.

"Commander, all traces left by the enemy have been cleaned up, and we can continue to attack Dragon Bone Canyon." The scout commander came to Zhao Defang and said.

Zhao Defang nodded and issued the order: "Attack with the entire army!"

"Come on!"

The Song Army cavalry roared and poured into the Dragon Bone Canyon like a tide.

In the Dragon Bone Canyon, Jinwu Guards, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately greeted them.

The two sides fought fiercely in the narrow part of Dragon Bone Canyon.

The Song army's infantry cooperated with the cavalry and quickly took advantage and suppressed the Jinwu guards.

"Damn it!"

When the scout leader saw this, his eyes widened and he roared angrily: "The terrain of Dragon Bone Canyon is complex and is extremely unfavorable to the cavalry. The Song Army deployed a large number of infantry here, which is simply despicable."

The scout leader gritted his teeth and said: "We cannot let the Song army continue to be arrogant. We must find ways to stop them and delay their progress."

The other scouts also expressed their opinions.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, a sound like rolling thunder sounded in the Dragon Bone Canyon.

"what is this?"

Many scouts looked at the source of the sound in confusion.

Soon they saw a dark figure appearing in the distance.

Looking carefully, it turned out to be Tubo's cavalry.

"Sir, these are the troops under the command. They are here to support us." The scout leader said in surprise.

Halls also relaxed and shouted loudly: "Brothers, hold on, the general is here to support us."

"Hahaha, the Jinwu Guard army has arrived and finally came to save us."

The Jinwu Guard scouts, who had been originally defeated, suddenly burst out with strong fighting spirit and desperately resisted the attack of the Song army.

"Sir, the enemy's commander-in-chief Zuzande has come to support us. What should we do now?"

In the Dragon Bone Canyon, the general responsible for commanding the attack looked nervous when he saw the Jinwu Guards' cavalry arriving, and hurriedly asked for instructions.

Zhao Defang frowned slightly. He did not expect Zu Zande to come to support Dragon Bone Canyon, nor did he expect that the other party would come in person.

This was something he had never thought of before.

After all, Dragon Bone Canyon is too far away from Zuzande’s camp, so Zuzande can sit in the main camp and wait for their victory.

But now, Zu Zander actually came to support him personally, which made him feel bad.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Defang said calmly: "Send the order and ask all the crossbowmen to stop shooting arrows and use spear formations instead. The cavalry will follow me to break through the enemy's defense line."

The terrain of Keel Canyon is narrow, and the cavalry is easily restricted.

Only the spear formation can minimize cavalry casualties.

The general agreed and immediately went to deliver the order.

After a moment, the ground of Dragon Bone Canyon trembled.

Densely packed soldiers of the Song Army surrounded them from both sides and forced them towards the Jinwu Guards cavalry.

At the same time, the sky was full of feather arrows shooting at the Jinwu Guards cavalry.

Intense collisions resounded in the canyon, and the Jinwu Guards' cavalry raised their shields to block the arrows.

Then, under the leadership of the commander of the Jinwu Guards, they violently accelerated their charge in an attempt to tear apart the enemy's defense.

The spear pierced Jin Wuwei's chest, blood spattered, and screams continued.

But it was still unable to contain the enemy's attack.

"kill!"

The generals of Jinwu Guard were filled with resentment and roared to kill him.

However, when he had just made it a few meters away, he was stabbed through the throat by several spears and died on the spot.

The body fell to the ground.

When the other Jinwu Guards saw this, they were even more angry.

Their general was killed, which made them even more afraid to fight and fled frantically.

"Want to run? No way!"

When Zu Zande saw it, his eyes were cold and he shouted: "Jinwu Guards, listen to the order and pursue us!"

"Da da da!"

Suddenly thousands of cavalry chased after him.

The war in Dragon Bone Canyon is getting more and more intense.

……

In the Song Army camp, Zhao Defang sat on a chair with a face as heavy as water.

He knew that he had miscalculated again and underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Jinwu Guards' cavalry.

I thought that relying on the scouts' detection and cooperating with the cavalry would be enough to deal with the Jinwu Guards' cavalry.

But unexpectedly, the results of the scout's investigation were completely different from the scout's description.

"Damn it, what's going on with this Zuzander?"

"The Jinwu Guards cavalry under his command are actually so powerful?"

"Could it be said that the cavalry under Zu Zander's command are all elite cavalry?"

Zhao Defang frowned and murmured: "Impossible. If the Jinwu Guard's cavalry are all elite cavalry, how could they be willing to be driven by Zu Zande?"

"No matter what, let's kill these five hundred cavalry first."

Zhao Defang made up his mind and ordered: "Send the order and send five hundred crossbowmen to sneak attack the west side of the Jinwu Guard camp and take the opportunity to consume the Jinwu Guard's cavalry."

"Here!" the adjutant promised, turned and left.

Zhao Defang was staring at the map and thinking, trying to find the key to breaking the situation.

At this moment, another scout hurriedly broke in.

"What happened again?" Zhao Defang asked with a gloomy face.

"Commander Qi, the main force of the Jinwu Guards has retreated, and a large number of scouts have also been sent into Dragon Bone Canyon."

The scout sounded anxious and said: "My subordinates are worried that Jin Wuwei is deliberately luring our cavalry." (End of Chapter)
