Battle of the Other Worlds: Summon the Traveler Wu Song at the Beginning

The battle was won, and the battle was won.

The border of Xiazhou, where the three legions of the imperial court were stationed, was a hilly area composed of a large amount of loess, with no grass growing. On the left side of the imperial court army was a vast expanse of red rock Gobi that stretched for more than 200 miles.

It was a bloody sight, with no human habitation.

Since arriving at the border of Xiazhou, Qian Zhen ordered his troops to dig trenches and build earthen forts in the hills overnight.

The so-called earthen fort is a traditional building of the Xiazhou Tu people. The loess hills of appropriate size were hollowed out, and then a layer of rammed earth was added on top, and iron juice was poured, making the earthen fort extremely strong and difficult to break.

The earthen forts were continuous and spread throughout the frontier positions of the imperial army. There were a large number of archers and crossbow carts hidden in the earthen forts, which could continuously release crossbow arrows through the shooting holes.

Similar to the bunkers of later generations, the hills and gullies on the border of Xiazhou, together with the earthen forts built by the imperial army, formed an indestructible line of defense.

In this terrain, the cavalry troops almost lost all their advantages. If they wanted to take over this border area, they needed a large number of infantry to charge at the risk of their lives.

In the Qin army camp, all the generals gathered together. Su Dingfang said to Gao Changgong on his left: "General Gao, have our scouts found out the enemy's defense line?"

Gao Changgong nodded and said: "Now there are a lot of earthen forts standing in the front position of the imperial army. If our army forcibly conquers it, I am afraid we will suffer heavy losses."

Li Siye said: "Today I led a small number of Modao troops to launch a charge. This earthen fort is extremely strong. Ordinary catapults cannot destroy it. There are a lot of crossbow carts and crossbow soldiers in the earthen fort. As long as our army approaches, we will be constantly attacked. It is really a hard nut to crack."

Su Dingfang pondered and said: "What is the situation of the Chiyan Gobi in the north?"

Xin Qiji stood up and bowed Said: "Reporting to the Marshal, the temperature in the Chiyan Gobi is extremely high, and there are sandstorms for most of the day. It is very easy to get lost in the sandstorm. The Chiyan Gobi is very vast. The imperial army has not deployed any troops in the Chiyan Gobi. It is obvious that they are confident."

Li Jilong also frowned and said: "The terrain here is full of hills and gullies, and there are a lot of earthen forts. The cavalry has no impact at all, which is extremely unfavorable to our army."

"The lord has sent an order, ordering our army to find the right time to defeat the imperial army in one fell swoop. Even if they are an iron barrel formation made of fine steel, our army will find a way to dig a hole in it."

The Qin army generals were blocked by the earthen fort formation and were helpless for a while.

In Yuquan City, in the hazy night, Leng Yuexin hid on a roof, looking at the Li Mansion from a distance. Her black clothes seemed to blend into the night, and her aura was completely hidden in the night, barely detectable.

Leng Yuexin observed for several days, but Li Yichen stayed in the mansion quietly and had no intention of showing up.

There were no maids or servants in Li's mansion. They were all guarded by Li Yichen's personal soldiers. Except for Jia Xu and others who often went in and out, there was no loophole to be found.

Leng Yuexin frowned and thought about countermeasures in her heart. She was confused about the layout and guard division of Li's mansion. If she rushed in rashly, she would easily fall into it.

Through the understanding of the past few days, Leng Yuexin analyzed that the most powerful guard under Li Yichen should be Dian Wei, who was in the realm of martial emperor. However, before confirming how many martial emperor masters were hidden around Li Yichen, Leng Yuexin was very calm and did not take action.

As a professional killer, the first thing to do is to be able to retreat safely and leave after the matter is done.

Leng Yuexin resisted the impulse in her heart, jumped down from the roof without a sound, and returned to her residence.

Similarly, Li Yichen, who lived in seclusion in the mansion, was also waiting for his opponent to make a move. After seven or eight days, there was no movement.

Li Yichen called Li Chunfeng and frowned, saying, "Sir, when you looked at my face last time, you said that someone was going to harm me. These days have passed, but there is nothing unusual. It seems that the person who is going to attack me is quite patient."

Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "The Xuanji formation once captured a trace of almost imperceptible killing intent, which means that the people sent by the opponent are hiding not far from this mansion. This person must be looking for flaws in the mansion in order to succeed in one blow."

Li Yichen nodded and said, "This person is patient. Jinyiwei has been secretly investigating in the city for so long. Have you found anything?"

Dian Wei said:

"My lord, the Jinyiwei found someone suspected to be from the Xuanyue Dynasty after investigation in Tenglong Inn, but before the Jinyiwei took any action, they left Yuquan City and disappeared."

As the saying goes, you are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Li Yichen was very uncomfortable with the cautious vigilance in recent days.

"In this case, we might as well take the initiative to attack, scare the snake, put pressure on it first, and then deliberately reveal a flaw to lure it into action."

Li Chunfeng waved his hand hurriedly to stop him and said, "My lord, you can't do that. How can a son of a rich man easily take risks if he doesn't stand under a dangerous wall?"

"This is not a solution. There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. We must act with thunder to deter these villains."

Early the next morning, the Jinyiwei of the brigade, led by Liu Huaiyuan, began to conduct a large-scale search of the houses and inns around Li Yichen's mansion. As long as they were not native residents of Yuquan City, they were all detained and closely guarded.

When the Jinyiwei was about to search her location, Leng Yuexin found the clue and evacuated the danger zone in time.

In a temple west of Yuquan City, Leng Yuexin hid behind a huge Buddha statue, frowning.

Before she made a move, the Qin army began a large-scale search. Could it be that she was exposed?

Leng Yuexin shook her head. She had always been very careful, and with her rich experience, she would not be exposed.

It seemed that the three people from the Xuanyue Dynasty had exposed their flaws, which made Li Yichen prepared. They were more likely to fail than to succeed. In this way, her chance of taking action was very small.

Since becoming a killer, Leng Yuexin has never failed. The Qin army's actions not only did not make him retreat, but he felt a faint sense of excitement in his heart.

Leng Yuexin has not encountered such a difficult target for a long time. He made up his mind to complete this mission.

Soon, Liu Huaiyuan led the Jinyiwei to find the place where Leng Yuexin had rented. Liu Huaiyuan instinctively felt that this matter was unusual. When Leng Yuexin rented a house, she claimed that she came to Yuquan City to seek refuge with her relatives, but she stayed here for so long.

Based on the traces left in the room, Liu Huaiyuan estimated that the other party had just left not long ago, and hurriedly reported the matter to Li Yichen.

"My lord, this person is most likely coming for you. Now that he has quietly left, there are only two possibilities, either he has given up the action, or he has hidden himself and is looking for a good opportunity."

"In this case, let's take the initiative, lure the snake out of the hole, and then hold him at his weak spot. I want to see who dares to attack me in Yuquan City."
