Competing

chapter 369

On the north bank of the Oujiang River, [-] miles away from Yandang Mountain, Yin Xu took a temporary rest here with a thousand guards.

After running non-stop for two consecutive days, the guards finally rushed back to the vicinity of Yandang Mountain.All the soldiers of the Guards knew that this emergency return was related to the safety of the country of Yue, and even more to the safety of Mrs. Luluo, so they hurried on their way without any complaints.

After running around for two consecutive days, the Guards soldiers may still be able to hold on, but the horses are already exhausted.Although Yin Xu was concerned about Lu Luo's safety and was very anxious, he also knew not to rush for quick success.So he took more than a thousand cavalry into the dense forest to rest, waited for the soldiers and horses to recover, and at the same time sent scouts to investigate the military situation!
The horses did not take off their saddles, and the soldiers did not take off their armor. The soldiers let go of their horses and grazed grass in the woods. One by one, they took dry food and water from the horses to replenish their strength.I cherish this rare rest time very much. Of course, the Vietnamese army has strict military discipline, especially the Guards.The sergeant on guard had already arrived at his post without any orders.

Yin Xu got off his horse and walked under a tree, the Duan Shui sword still did not leave his hand.There is a feeling in the dark, as if holding the Duan Shui sword in his hand, he can feel the existence of Luluo, it can be regarded as a thought or a spiritual sustenance!Yin Xu slowly closed his eyes, it has almost become a habit to close his eyes before the battle.

But today is an exception, as soon as he closes his eyes, what appears in his mind is the beautiful image of Luluo and the flames of war in the Yandang Mountain camp.I don't know what happened to the camp at this time?Luluo, is she okay?The scouts had already been sent out, but there was no reply yet, and his heart was always disturbed.It's really unimaginable, if something happened to Luluo, he should...

On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, so dangerous, and let a woman accompany him.If he stayed by his side all the time, it would be fine if he had his own protection. How could he be allowed to go to Yandang Mountain?Falling into such a dangerous situation, Yin Xu blamed himself deeply, he felt that he had made too many mistakes!Yin Xu leaned on the tree trunk, turned his eyes to Yandang Mountain twenty miles away, and said silently in his heart: Luluo, wait for me!
Footsteps sounded, Yin Xu turned his head and saw that the scouts he had sent out had returned, and turned over hastily from the ground, which showed the anxiety and concern in his heart.

"How is it?" Yin Xu stopped the scouts from saluting without waving his hands, and hurriedly asked.

The scout reported: "Your Majesty, the Yandang Mountain camp has not yet fallen!"

In a word, let Yin Xu have a reassurance first.The camp has not yet fallen, which means that Lu Luo is safe for the time being, at least God gave him a chance to try his best to rescue, so Yin Xu feels a little relieved.

The scout continued: "The Eastern Ou army is already storming the main camp, and only the last fortress is left, which is already dilapidated. The casualties of the defenders are unknown. Seeing the Eastern Ou army gather again, there should be a new attack at noon , the camp may not be able to support it, the situation is very critical!"

Yin Xu said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, we have already arrived, and the Dongou people will not succeed..."

"My lord, look at this thing!"

As he spoke, the scout presented a weapon with both hands, which was similar to a long sword, but slightly curved.Yin Xu didn't take it seriously at first, but when he turned around and saw it, his heart skipped a beat and he reached out to take it.Immediately, the edge of the knife came out of its sheath, revealing a gleaming cold light, it was exactly the ring-head knife he had dreamed of.

"What's going on? Where did this thing come from!" Yin Xu was very surprised. Although the ring head knife has been designed, Mr. Zhu has already started to preside over the construction, how could it suddenly appear here.

The scout reported back: "When we were patrolling, we happened to meet a group of our own people, and we only found out after contacting..." Immediately, a general came over, greeted Yin Xu, and at the same time told the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that after Yin Xu's army set off, Mr. Zhu immediately started to build the ring head knife. With the bellows designed by Carbon Charcoal and Yin Xu, the temperature of the furnace was greatly increased.Coupled with the fact that Zhu Qing, a master of sword smelting and casting, personally operated the sword, the prototype of the ring sword was soon released.Zhu Qing knew that Yin Xu's battle in the south was difficult, if he had sharp weapons to help him, he would naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Especially for Yin Xuna's former guard cavalry, the role of the ring-shoudao was even more important, so Mr. Zhu urged the craftsmen to rush to work day and night, and sent them to make a thousand ring-shoudao in an emergency.Gao Yi immediately sent troops to transport weapons to the south, hoping to help Yin Xu achieve a better record.At that time, Gao Yi thought that the main battlefield would be in Fanyi, so General Pi took his weapons and marched southwest.

As a result, news was received on the road that the Vietnamese army had won a great victory in Fanyi, and then the Minyue army was defeated and then surrendered.General Pi can be regarded as a quick-witted person, so it is difficult to change his course, not wanting to encounter Si Yao's feigned surrender, and Yandang Mountain is in a hurry.General Pi was worried that he would be blocked by Dongou on the road, and at the same time he also thought that reinforcements would come, so he stationed nearby.

It was a perfect coincidence to meet Yin Xu Guards now.Holding the ring head knife, Yin Xu felt more confident.With this thing in hand, the Guards can be said to be even more powerful.

"Very good, I didn't expect Mr. Zhu to be so fast!"

General Pi said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zhu said that these knives are not of the highest quality. After all, they were made in a short period of time. They were sent for your emergency and experimentation. The ones that will be baked later will be top-grade, harder and sharper. "

Yin Xu nodded and said: "Okay, it doesn't matter, now this knife is exactly what I need!"

General Pi felt very lucky. He already knew that Mr. Zhu's beloved daughter was trapped in Yandang Mountain, and King Yue hurried back just to rescue her.Mr. Zhu also contributed to the rescue of his daughter in the integration matter sent by the knife.

Half an hour later, the guards of the Yue Kingdom were all equipped with ring-shoulders. Yin Xu immediately rode his horse and led everyone to Yandang Mountain...

……

At the foot of Yandang Mountain, Si Yao frowned. She didn't expect that this small first-level camp could not be conquered after three days of heavy casualties.If it is said that Yandang Mountain can be taken within one day, and the army can be led northward immediately, there is still a possibility of successfully attacking Shanyin.But now, there is no hope at all.

In two days at most, Yin Xu's main force may rush back, and Si Yao suddenly felt unprecedented pressure.Now he has no other thoughts, the only thought is to take down Yandang Mountain as soon as possible, and catch that woman named Luluo.He really wanted to see, did Yin Xu love the country or the beauties?

Ou Yong came in a hurry, he was also disheartened, he vowed to take down the Vietnamese army's camp in one day, he didn't want to attack three days in a row, but still failed.As a result, he lost face in front of Si Yao and the generals. Although no one had time or thought to blame him, it still deeply ashamed him who loves face.Now Ou Yong is already a little crazy, he has the same thoughts as Si Yao, that is to completely conquer the camp and capture that woman named Lu Luo.They all thought that these camps designed by her had no effect for him to pay such a large number of casualties and efforts.

"Your Majesty, the army has been assembled. The Yue army camp is already riddled with holes, and their casualties are even more serious. This time, they can already be taken down."

Si shook her head and said, "Okay, launch an attack immediately, no matter what, we must win today and capture that woman named Lu Luo."

Ou Yong took the order to leave immediately, Si Yao stood where he was, looked up at the dilapidated hillside and the pass, and went to the still strong camp, showing a bitter smile.

"Brother, stop, we have already failed!" Si Yao didn't notice that his younger brother Si Ming had already stood behind him.

"Failure? Stop?" Si Yao sneered, and sighed: "Stop? How to stop? The arrow has already left the string, how can I get it back? Maybe it has failed, no, just conquer the camp and capture that woman , it is not considered a complete failure!"

"Brother, don't be obsessed with your obsession anymore!" Si Ming remonstrated in a deep voice when no outsiders were around.

Si Yao sneered and said, "If you are obsessed with obsession, it may be me, or it may be you. After paying such a large number of casualties, the soldiers of the three armies fought here for three days. How can you say that you can stop if you stop? What can we do? Without that woman as a bargaining chip, how can we negotiate terms with Yin Xu?"

"That woman is our bargaining chip, but did you ever think that Yin Xu also has a bargaining chip? Our hometown is empty, and Yin Xu can easily take over the old hometown of Oujiang by going north. What should we give in exchange for our clansmen? Do you think Have you ever passed?" Si Ming was also emotional at this meeting, and some understanding problems were estimated to be less than so many, so his voice was a little louder, and his attitude was a little firm.

Si Yao asked back: "If we hold back, Yin Xu can let us go? Will we let our clansmen go? Stop dreaming!"

"Brother..." Si Ming was very helpless, even a little heartbroken.

Si Yao asked again: "Okay, then tell me, what should I do now?"

Si Ming replied: "Give up the attack, and surrender to the King of Yue sincerely... If the eldest brother still insists, he should at least withdraw to the Oujiang River, guard the homeland, and defend the tribe!"

Si Yao sneered coldly, Yandang Mountain is so important to him now, it is within easy reach, and he is asked to give up now... Si Yao ignored the brothers behind him and walked forward with big strides, going to supervise the battle in person, hoping Being able to conquer the Vietnamese army camp as soon as possible will satisfy my heart sooner.

The Eastern Ou army launched a fierce attack. The dilapidated camps and fortresses had lost their defensive functions. The soldiers kept falling, and there were fewer and fewer people left.

Zhou Da and Lu Ming shouted hoarsely for the soldiers to resist desperately, insist on whatever they say, and must protect the safety of Mrs. Luluo.It's a pity... A corner of the camp was finally breached by the Eastern Ou Army. Zhou Da and Lu Ming were a little stunned as they watched the enemy army pouring in like a tide, already desperate!

Seeing this situation, Luluo in military uniform glanced at the southern horizon, her eyes full of affection and regret.I just heard her murmur: "I'm sorry, I owe you a kiss, I'll pay you back in the next life..." As the Chengying sword was unsheathed, a ray of elegant sword shadow flashed, and when it was about to touch the elegant pink neck, it suddenly froze. Staring blankly into the distance, his eyes were a little blurred.

Dust was flying in the distance, and then the sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded...

Standing tall and looking far, the Yue army on the Dingzhai was the first to discover this. After being slightly dazed, they immediately came to their senses.War horses... cavalry... In the land of Jiangdong, the only cavalry with such momentum is the Yue Kingdom Guards.Guards...the personal guards of King Yue...

Kuang became a doctor, Chengying sword fell to the ground, Luluo stared blankly into the distance, tears welled up in her eyes, and murmured: "You finally came..."

Zhou Da yelled, and shouted: "Fight hard, the king's reinforcements have arrived, everyone hold on..."

"Everyone hold on, protect Madam, as soon as the king's reinforcements come in..." Lu Ming immediately woke up and shouted.

The soldiers of the Vietnamese army, who were already in despair, were shocked when they saw the flying dust and war horses in the distance, and they were shocked by the news of the arrival of the King of Yue.Hope was rekindled in his heart, and his morale was greatly shaken. He immediately waved his long sword and fought with the Eastern Ou army.

Si Yao already had the chance to win, watching the soldiers break through the Vietnamese army camp, a smug smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.But at this moment, rumbling vibrations sounded, and he couldn't help being startled.

"What's going on?" Si Yao immediately yelled and asked around, trying to figure out what was going on.

For a moment, everyone didn't know what happened, and after a while, a person stumbled over and said stammeringly, "Your Majesty...cavalry...cavalry...has the Vietnamese army killed?"

"Vietnamese cavalry?" Si Yao's heart was shocked. What's going on?Reinforcements from Vietnam have arrived?How could it come so fast?In his impression, the reinforcements from the Yue Kingdom would arrive after two days, and it was too weird to see the reinforcements from the Yue Kingdom behind him at this time.

Not having time to think about it, Si Yao immediately shouted, "Block them, and immediately find out how many reinforcements have come in total?"

But a moment later, a shocking, or rather frightening news came.The cavalry of the Yue Kingdom stopped and rushed directly into the formation of the Eastern Ou army, easily broke through the line of defense, and brought about the most tragic fight.

Si Yao couldn't figure it out, even if the cavalry ran faster, how could they have such a big effect on the battlefield?The Vietnamese army's ass has not been turned upside down?They don't fall off the horse?One question after another came to mind.

"What's the matter?" Si Yao commanded the army to intercept the Yue cavalry, but also wanted to understand why the people in the army turned their backs on their backs?
Then some generals crawled over and reported: "Your Majesty, I can't stop it. There are many things on the horse's back and belly of the horses of the Yue Kingdom. They seem to be fixed on the horse's back. They can't fall off at all. And their weapons It's also very powerful, it doesn't seem like an ordinary long sword, we can't resist it at all..."

"How many people are there?" Si Yao was terrified, and hurriedly asked about the number, which might be another information of great reference value.

The general replied: "It seems that there are only more than a thousand people, but they are unstoppable. I heard that the king of Yue has a guard army, all of which are cavalry, and they are the elite of the Yue army. I also heard that the Fujian and Yue army were defeated by them. Yes, Your Majesty, what should we do..."

Si Yao was disturbed by what people said, and when she heard about the Yue King's guards, she couldn't help being taken aback. Did Yin Xu come back in person?For that woman?What a love interest!After calming down a little, Si Yao immediately calculated the cause and effect of the incident.The reason why these Vietnamese cavalry are so powerful is that they are equipped with new equipment. As for what Si Yao is, they don't have so much control over it.

In his opinion, there were only 1000 people anyway, so it wasn't that scary.He also understood why the Vietnamese army arrived so quickly, so unexpectedly, the distance from the Minjiang River to here is so long, and the only way to rush back is by riding a fast horse.There are also only cavalry who can rush back, which means that only a thousand Vietnamese troops are coming now.

1000 people can still be dealt with with all their strength, and...if Yue Wang Yinxu himself is really among them, then this matter... Si Yao couldn't help showing a sneer of complacency.If this is the case, as long as Yin Xu can be taken down, no matter how much price and sacrifice one pays, it will be worth it.

Once Yin Xu died, the Vietnamese army would have no leader, and there would be chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity... Si Yao suddenly felt that the success that was far away from him seemed to have returned.God really treats me well.Hope comes again, so you must take good care of it!

Si Yao sneered and said, "Quickly find out if Yue King Yin Xu is among them? Order Ou Yong to restrain the Yandang Yue army, and divide the troops to encircle and suppress the Yue cavalry. One man and one cavalry cannot escape!"

"Yes!"

Si Yao sneered, as if he was a bit complacent, but he didn't notice the embarrassment on the faces of his generals, there was obviously a bit of fear and helplessness in it.

In his opinion, Si Yao hadn't personally gone to experience the Yue cavalry's offensive, so ordering or making such a plan was a bit foolish and whimsical.

They quickly determined that Yue King Yin Xu was among the guards, but it was impossible to capture or shoot Yin Xu.Knowing this, Si Yao realized that it was not she who was besieging and suppressing Yin Xu, but Yin Xu was chasing and killing her after committing a foul.

Yin Xu rode his horse and waved his Duan Shui sword. The well-trained Yue Kingdom guards immediately surrounded them from two thousand soldiers, forming a sharp wedge and mercilessly plunged into the Eastern Ou army.As a commander, Yin Xu didn't use the Huan Shou Dao, because he was used to cutting off the water, and it seemed like he was commanding the saber.And the broken water is extremely hard and sharp, even above the ring head knife.At the same time, holding the Duan Shui sword in his hand seemed to give him a kind of psychological comfort. Yin Xu always felt that he was closer to Luluo and more at ease.

The cavalrymen of the Vietnamese army swung the ring-shoudao in their hands and kept chopping. Then the horses rushed rapidly, and with the huge force borrowed from Takahashi's saddle and stirrups, the chopping power of the ring-shoudao doubled.It can really be said that he is invincible, and he has never encountered any strong resistance among the Eastern Ou Army.

The streamlined knife edge design and the back of the knife are more later generations. The Dongou army swung their long swords and spears with difficulty, and they were no opponents at all.Soon, the cavalry of the Yue Army fought a bloody path in it, which brought the strongest shock to the Eastern Ou Army.

It wasn't until this moment that Si Yao realized that he was wrong, but it was a pity that he regretted it too late!Now Yin Xu may not give himself
