Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 71 Fight against Po Wuji again!
On the upper reaches of Lu River, the Chu army formed a large formation.

The cold wind blew the Wu Yangyang flag. Under the flag, a Chu soldier wearing a strong sword stepped forward, making Lushui turbulent.

The rumble of footsteps covered up all sounds.

On a low hill, the flag of Huang Xie's army was flying ferociously. As long as everyone looked up, they could see Huang Xie under the flag and the Chu army's scout cavalry who kept reporting on the hillside.

At this moment, when Huang Xie heard the scout's report, he frowned slightly on his originally solemn face. He clenched the sword at his waist tightly and turned to look in the direction to the west, with worry in his eyes.

"Yingjun will never give up such an excellent opportunity for a surprise attack. There shouldn't be any movement at this time. Even if he leads an army of infantry and heavy equipment, etc., which slows down the speed, the Qin army's scouts should have calculated the time. Just show up.”

Huang Xie's fingers holding the hilt of the sword loosened and then tightened again, his eyes fixed on the end of the sky upstream of Lushui in his field of vision:
"If our army marches into the mountains, the mountains to the north are steep and the Lushui River is close to the right. The narrow terrain restricts the deployment of the army's formation. Once Yingjun leads the cavalry in a surprise attack, it will be difficult to take care of the head and tail. It is only a matter of time before the army is destroyed."

"Yingjun's 30 troops are approaching Handan. It is difficult to resist with only 10 horses in our hands. If it were not for the cold weather and slippery roads, General Li Mu's front army would have arrived in Handan by now. However, the news has been very slow in recent days. , I’m worried that if the distance between our three-pronged armies is too large, Yingjun may seize the opportunity.”

Speaking of this, Huang Xie suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. Although it passed away briefly, Huang Xie's expression still changed. He turned around and told Xiang Yan beside him:
"Hurry up and send someone to contact Lord Xinling's Wei army to ask him to slow down and keep a safe distance from my army for immediate rescue. In addition, notify the grain and grass camp behind and ask them to speed up and join our central army."

Xiang Yan clasped his fists in agreement and immediately got on his horse. Just as he was about to leave, Huang Xie turned around and came to his horse, and Xiang Yan immediately leaned down.

Huang Xie whispered in his ear: "Lead a few of your confidants and immediately explore the surrounding mountain roads as a retreat for the army. Don't make this matter public, lest the news leaks out and the morale of the army is damaged."

Xiang Yan's heart suddenly tightened, she clasped her fists heavily at Huang Xie, and then immediately rode away.

But Huang Xie was fighting on the hill, staring at the end of the distant sky, pursed his lips, tightened his face, and while he was concentrating, he always felt that he had overlooked something.

"where?"

"Where exactly was it missed?"

"Where will Yingjun appear?"

In the voice of muttering to himself, Huang Xie's eyes unconsciously turned around the towering Taihang Mountains on both sides, and when he looked downstream along the flowing Lu River towards the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains, his heart skipped a beat.

Immediately, dozens of Chu army elites dispatched from the army formation quietly ran out of the army and started running wildly in both directions...

The cold wind howled.

Fifty miles southeast along the Lu River, the cold light of weapons was reflected in the rippling Lu River. The soldiers of the Wei army patrolling the camp occasionally looked to the other side of the camp.

Among the crowds of figures, noisy and busy voices kept coming from that side. After taking a look, the Wei soldiers were relieved, turned their heads and continued to stare at Lushui, leaning against the simple wooden wall to recuperate their strength.

They had been traveling for several days. The Qin army behind them was very aggressive. Even though the Chu army was behind them, the Wei army still did not dare to take it lightly.

Three battles and three defeats.

The Qin army caused too many casualties to them.

In particular, the fear caused by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry cannot be eliminated in a short time. It may not be eliminated in a lifetime.

However, fear is fear, but most of the Wei army still feel a little relaxed. They are always in the middle of the three armies. If the armies in front and behind are not broken, it will not be their Wei army's turn to go into battle anyway.

But even so, Wei Wuji still ordered the army to set up camp. Outside the camp, there were also posts every ten steps. The few cavalrymen all dispersed at this moment, exploring the front and rear of the army from time to time.

Although such a camp seemed to all the soldiers to be more effective in preventing wild beasts than in preventing enemies, they still felt a little relaxed in their hearts.

Inside the tent, Lord Xinling Wei Wuji was a little uneasy. The armor that was supposed to be removed was now still in full military uniform without any slack. He stood in the tent and paced back and forth, his brows knitted into a ball, and he repeatedly confirmed road:
"Have you contacted General Li Mu? Have they responded to your letter?"

Below him, all the generals were also dressed in military uniforms. Although everyone had answered many times, one general still stood up and said:
"Back to Junhou, I have contacted General Li three hours ago. When they sent the message, they had already arrived at the intersection of Lushui and Zhangshui, which is fifty miles away from us."

"Yes!" Wei Wuji nodded, then turned to ask another person: "How is the situation of the Chu army?"

"Jun Chunshen has sent word that the Chu army is accelerating its march, but the main force of the Qin army is aggressive behind them. They need to be prepared for a surprise attack by Yingjun's cavalry. They will not march until nightfall. They are expected to meet us in the middle of the night."

When Wei Wuji heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath, stretched out his hand to rub his swollen eyebrows, and said with emotion: "The descendants are terrible! If there is no chance of victory, how can the army be like this!"

……

at the same time.

Outside the Wei army camp, groups of patrolling scouts stepped across Lushui, splashing mud.

"The horrible weather in Zhao country!"

As he spoke, the leading scout tightened his armor, looked up at the sky that had darkened for some time, frowned and spat: "Pay attention to the ground, it's foggy, be careful of falling off your horse."

While he was talking, thick fog filled both sides of Lushui at a speed visible to the naked eye. Looking up, it seemed that even the sky was a bit gloomier, making people's vision blurred and their mood depressed.

There were birds chirping and flying into the sky on the distant mountains, causing the scouts to look up in surprise. However, unlike the birds, they saw thousands of troops rising up the Shuo River downstream of the Lu River. Traveling from the east to the west, countless horse hooves galloped and pounded the ground.

White waves gradually rose up in Lushui, and the swimming fish that originally lived under the water jumped out of the water crazily, and swam crazily upstream as if they were boiling.

Whoa whoa whoa!
Whoa whoa whoa!
On the shore, someone in the scouting cavalry team twitched their noses and turned to look in the direction of Lushui: "It smells like fish..."

"Quiet!"

The leader of the captain suddenly shouted loudly, raised his hand to stop everyone under his command, and listened at the same place with their ears tilted.

As they spoke, the team of more than a dozen riders gradually stopped their horses' hooves and tightened their reins. The mist on the ground rolled and swayed like running water.

There was a huge roar in the distance, and the earth seemed to suddenly come to life at this moment. The water surface shook crazily, and the fish flew desperately across the water. The fishy smell became even greater.

But at this moment, all the scouts didn't care at all. They all suddenly raised their heads and stared ahead with wide eyes.

"It's cavalry!!"

"Is it Zhao Jun?"

"Shoot the arrow quickly——"

The captain's face changed wildly and he roared. The cavalrymen who reacted quickly dismounted, took out their bows and arrows, and shot towards the sky.

shhhhhh! !

The roar stirred up the clouds and mist, and the screams instantly exploded in the clouds and mist.

But the next moment, the hundreds of leopard riders in the lead were already carrying the roaring wind, blowing and breaking through the clouds and mist, and rushed into the sight of the Wei army scouts.

"Qin Jun?"

"Qin Jun."

"It's the Qin Army!!!"

The dozens of Wei army scouts and cavalry widened their eyes, and with sharp roars, all of them immediately pulled the reins, turned their horses' heads, and rushed toward the Wei army camp behind them.

However, the Leopard Riders are more elite horse archers. All Leopard Riders are selected by warriors with superb riding skills and good bow skills.

When the roar of the thunder ripped through the sky, the hundreds of leopard cavalry led by them also drew their bows at the same time, and fired fiercely at the Wei army scouts in front.

Whoosh whoosh.

The bowstring trembled and the mist rolled.

Black arrows flew to him in an instant and stuck into the man's body. As blood blossomed, Wei Jun fell from his horse.

But there were also people who whipped their mounts fiercely and screamed at the top of their lungs: "The enemy is attacking! The Qin army is coming..."

Before he finished speaking, the scout cavalry who shouted was already hit by an arrow in the neck, and blood flowed down everywhere.

Behind, at the head of hundreds of thousands of leopard cavalry, Li Cunxiao put down his bow and arrows, drew out King Yu's divine weapon, and roared: "Blow the trumpet, light the rockets, and charge with me!!!"

Command delivery.

The horn is low.

The galloping cavalry immediately took out fire arrows and bit them in their mouths. In an instant, dots of fire sources lit up in the dark army. As they rushed forward, special rockets were drawn out of their quivers and set on the ground. On the bowstring.

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The sound of thunder exploded in the sky.

The soldiers who were resting in the Wei army camp looked around vigilantly, and the uproar and roar suddenly spread throughout the camp.

In the big tent, Wei Wuji, who was discussing the military situation, heard the commotion and rushed out of the tent. He turned to look outside and heard the roar of horse hooves, and his expression changed instantly.

At this moment, a soldier broke through the fog, ran in front of him, and roared: "Your Majesty. Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy cavalry is coming from the east..." Wei Wuji's pupils shrank when he heard this, and he felt in his heart Already secretly shouting something bad.

It's Qin Jun!
It must be the Qin army.

While talking, all the generals in the tent rushed out of the tent and gathered around Wei Wuji. It was now very clear who the enemy was.

Wei Wuji didn't hesitate at all, and immediately shouted: "Gather your troops and fight!"

At this moment, the thick fog hinders the vision, but it can also restrain the fear in the hearts of the soldiers to a great extent.

woohoo-

The low and continuous sound of the horn undulated and echoed in the mist.

Wei Wuji suddenly raised his head and looked to the east where the voice came from, his pupils narrowing in vain.

In the sky, dots of light suddenly broke through the thick fog.

Ten, hundred, thousand...

Dense lights instantly rose into the sky, like fireworks, beautiful, shocking, but deadly.

Seeing this, countless Wei soldiers screamed in horror, watching helplessly as the little flames crossed an arc and fell violently towards the military camp.

Like a shower of meteors and fire.

Whoosh whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh!
When the flaming arrows landed on the ground, military tents, camp walls, and people, the flames burned instantly. The dead winter grass on the ground burned even more quickly, and the fire instantly began to rush toward the interior of the camp.

In an instant, the entire camp began to panic, and panicked roars boiled up like a tidal wave.

"Your Majesty, be careful..." Zhu Hai raised his sword fiercely and cut off a stray arrow, then stepped forward and stamped out the flames.

The strong wind blew by, but Wei Wuji stood there blankly. In the view to the east, outside the camp, illuminated by countless firelights, the silhouettes of thousands of cavalry rushed into the field of vision.

A black black bird flag fluttered ferociously against the cold wind, getting closer and closer to here.

"Win Jun!!!"

In the distance, under the black bird flag.

"Send the order and ask Cunxiao and Mengwu to speed up..." Yingjun looked at the chaotic military camp that was gradually burning, with fierceness in his eyes: "...crush this place."

A famous tiger cavalry guarded him, and all the people and horses were seizing the time to build up their strength crazily.

They must recover as soon as possible and attack the Chu army at the rear.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Qi took out his horn and put it to his mouth and started playing.

Woohoo! ! !
Amidst the rapid sound of the horn, Li Cunxiao had already led the Leopard Riders to the front of the camp.

Horse hooves broke the muddy ground.

"Fire arrows!"

The Wei soldiers who were still standing on the camp wall immediately shot the arrows in their hands.

With a crackling sound, arrows hit the armor, and were immediately bounced away. Some people were hit by the arrows and fell off their horses, but no one turned around to pay attention. Everyone still followed Li Cunxiao and charged.

They didn't seem to care at all about the camp wall erected in front of them and the closed camp gate.

Li Cunxiao kicked the flame horse fiercely, and it flew forward like a meteor sweeping over the ground. The closed gate of the camp was very close at hand.

"Open to me!!"

Li Cunxiao roared loudly, and the King Yu Divine Spear in his hand was like a battering ram, slamming into the gate of the camp in front.

bang——

The camp gate shook, and with the loud noise, the simple camp gate more than three meters suddenly exploded, and the Wei soldiers behind the gate fell to the ground howling miserably.

Among the broken wood chips, the flame horse hissed and led Li Cunxiao to open the camp gate like lightning and stepped into the camp.

"kill!"

The next second, the dark mass of Leopard Riders behind him turned into a torrent and poured in. Countless iron hooves trampled on the camp gate, and the surrounding collapsed wooden fences and corpses pressed underneath rushed into the camp.

Go straight ahead!

There were only over [-] soldiers and horses in the Wei army's camp.

The troops and horses that were originally gathered together after being defeated in several battles, even after a period of rest, generally did not recover at all.

Their combat effectiveness at this moment has not returned to its peak state at all.

The futile battle, the camp that exploded in the blink of an eye, and the thick fog that filled the camp completely frightened all the Wei troops in the camp.

Before the organized troops had time to assemble, they were run over one by one by rockets and the charging Li Cunxiao Leopard Cavalry.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Along the way, miserable howls were accompanied by countless corpses.

Li Cunxiao, on the other hand, just led the army forward, forward, and forward regardless. As he waved the King Yu's Divine Sword in his hand, layers of blood mist rolled up.

"Whoever stops me will die!!!"

"Hahaha!!!"

Looking at Li Cunxiao, who was looking around in the camp, the fear that he had felt for a while suddenly came to mind again, and his eyes narrowed sharply.

The Leopard Riders behind saw how brave Li Cunxiao was, and their original morale suddenly increased by three points. They killed the surrounding Wei troops and screamed again and again. The plasma spattered and everyone was stained with blood.

The horses' hooves crushed the soldiers blocking the road and flooded the tents along the way.

"It's him!! Let's go!!" Wei Wuji's pupils shrank, he had already recognized Li Cunxiao, and immediately mounted his horse and ran away without any hesitation.

He didn't want to get entangled with Li Cunxiao at all.

He was deeply touched by Li Cunxiao's strength.

If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave again.

"go!"

Behind him, Zhu Hai and others, with all the following diners, immediately mounted their horses and fled around Wei Wuji.

The same was true for the surrounding generals. They had no intention of fighting to the death. After three defeats in three battles, they had already lost the confidence to continue fighting the moment the camp was shattered.

"Escape!!!"

In an instant, the entire Wei army was defeated, and countless Wei soldiers cried for their fathers and mothers and began to flee.

Soon after.

The Wei army camp that stretched for ten miles was still burning, black smoke rolled into the sky, and in the firelight of the ruined walls, the dark cavalrymen waved flags and swept past like the wind.

Rumble!
Rumble!
All the cavalry rolled in an overwhelming wave, destroying all the scouts and messengers that could be seen along the road.

Countless corpses were trampled into the mud by the war horses, and they spread unbridled towards the Chu army camp.

fifty miles.

It's here in the blink of an eye.
