Outside the Royal Court of Southern Xinjiang, a shadow squirmed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the Royal Court of Southern Xinjiang.
Under the shining of the moonlight and stars, the true face of the shadow was revealed.
It turned out that it was not a shadow at all, but a group of soldiers.
Those soldiers wore black masks and black soft armor, with short blades and hands (crossbows) hanging from their waists. They all had extraordinary aura, but when they ran, they didn't leak any of their aura. They ran like the wind, treading the ground silently, almost wanting to compete with others. The night merges into one.
Although the soft armor worn by those soldiers cannot be compared with the heavy armor, and the swords they carry are quite simple, if you look closely, you will find that the soft armor and boots are shining with faint light, and the short blades and hands (crossbows) are shining with light. Also smells fierce.
Obviously, these things are all tricks. Every thing placed on the rivers and lakes is something that can cause competition.
If soft armor, short blades, etc. are just external objects, then the soldiers themselves are also extremely extraordinary, with strong aura, perfect spirit, and good realm.
These people are naturally the famous and feared king-killing army of Chu State.
The King's Killing Army is good at hiding and plundering, and mainly focuses on assassinations and raids. Therefore, everyone wears soft armor, carries short blades, and holds hands (crossbows) to facilitate the penetration of enemy lines and carry out assassinations.
When they arrived in front of the Moon God Lake, the Killing King's Army suddenly stopped, like a black tide, suddenly stagnant, moving like thunder, and still as quiet as a virgin.
"military adviser?"
"Really a military advisor?"
How can it be?
At this time, everyone noticed the Xuanling Taoist on the city wall, and the crowd rippled slightly.
At this time, a man was seen waving his hand in front of the King Killer's army, and all the discussions and exclamations in the army disappeared.
The man was thin, unattractive, and had a vague aura. If he hadn't waved his hand, no one would have noticed him.
This man is Jin Wujiu, the general who killed the king's army.
Despite Jin Wujiu's humble appearance, he was a well-known person in General Ping and even in the Chu State.
"General, is that a military advisor?"
Next to Jin Wujiu, Nian Fu, the commander of the left brigade of the King's Killing Army, asked in a deep voice.
"You're right, he's a military advisor."
Jin Wujiu said, Jin Wujiu's voice was cold and sharp, like a sharp knife being drawn out of its sheath: "When the military advisor sent the message earlier, he said that he could hold on for at least an hour. However, before the hour came, the military advisor was captured. The King of Southern Xinjiang There must have been huge changes in the court.”
"Either the remnants of the Meng clan have something comparable to the Eight God Armor, or they have other reinforcements. No matter what the reason is, it is not good news for us."
"Then what should we do now, should we save him or not?" Nian Fu asked in silence after hearing the affirmative answer.
"Now the enemy is hidden and we are clear, it is not appropriate to act rashly."
Jin Wujiu analyzed: "There is no one on the city wall, but the remnants of the Meng family dare to hang their generals on the city gate. They must have something to rely on."
"As I expected, they must be ambushing us in the city, intending to humiliate us as military advisors, and then take the opportunity to attack us when we become angry and attack the city to save people."
"Of course, there is another possibility, that they are bluffing."
"Should I send someone to test it out?" Nian Fu asked.
Jin Wujiu thought for a moment and shook his head: "There is no need to risk our lives, we just need to wait."
"They are the ones who should be anxious now, not us. The Zhuman and Dingyi armies are already on the way, and they will arrive in a moment. When the three armies join forces, no matter what conspiracy the remnants of the Meng family have, it will be in vain."
"The general is wise." Nian Fu said sincerely.
"Pass the order, the entire army will take a short rest. No movement is allowed without orders." Jin Wujiu ordered.
"General, take your orders." Nian Fu clasped his fists and turned to leave.
"The remnants of the Meng family, huh, you don't overestimate your own capabilities." Jin Wujiu looked at Taoist Xuanling on the city gate, with a trace of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"You... do you think they will attack?" Inside the city, Xie Shan licked his dry lips and said nervously.
"have no idea."
Xie Rong shook his head, with a solemn expression: "No matter what, remember the girl's order. If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move."
"If the enemy moves, then fight to the death."
"Don't worry, even if I fight to the death, I will never let those evil people step into the royal court of Southern Xinjiang." Xie Shan said fiercely.
"They stopped and seemed to be taking a rest." Suddenly, Xie Rong's eyes lit up.
"I'm really taking a break. The girl guessed it right."
Xie Shan was also overjoyed: "The girl is really a goddess!"
"But still don't be careless. Pass on the order to make the brothers stay vigilant and don't be careless." Xie Rong ordered.
"Okay." Xie Shan responded, turned and left.
"I hope things go well for the girl."
Looking at Xie Shan's leaving figure, Xie Rong said softly, his eyes full of anticipation and hope.
…
"Is this the Dingyi Army? It really deserves its name."
On a cliff, Ye Qing looked at a group of soldiers wearing black armor and long swords and riding exotic horses from a distance, his eyes filled with wonder.
I saw those soldiers riding strange horses, running through the mountains and forests as fast as the wind, as fast as lightning, as if they were walking on flat ground, with extremely fast speeds.
Logically speaking, southern Xinjiang has high mountains and dense forests, making it unsuitable for cavalry and horse fighting. Therefore, there are basically no cavalry in the Pingjiang army, except for the Dingyi army.
The Dingyi Army is the only cavalry in the Pingjiang Army, and it happens to be this only cavalry. It is also famous in the Chu State and even the Four Kingdoms.
More than ten years ago, 10,000 Dingyi troops galloped thousands of miles through the mountains in just one night, inserted directly into the rear of the southern Xinjiang army, and cut off the food and fodder supplies for the hundreds of thousands of southern Xinjiang troops. This shocked the world. This battle also marked Guo Ximian's death. The horse set foot on the southern frontier and laid the foundation.
The main reason why the Dingyi Army was able to travel thousands of miles overnight was naturally because of the strange beasts they rode.
The name of this exotic horse is Wufeng, which is strange and resentful. It looks like a horse, but is shorter than ordinary horses. It is covered with scales and the scales are black and gray. It is best at climbing over mountains and ridges, flying through forests and streams, and running like the wind. Named Wufeng.
It is precisely because of the black wind that the Dingyi army can travel thousands of miles at night through mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground.
Of course, Wufeng also has its own shortcomings. Wufeng was originally a strange monster unique to southern Xinjiang. After being domesticated, it can be artificially cultivated and reproduced. However, the reproduction rate is low and its lifespan is extremely short. Adult Wufeng only has a lifespan of one year, so It is difficult to reproduce and cultivate on a large scale. There are only more than 10,000 animals in the Pingjiang Army, so it is difficult to promote it on a large scale.
Standing on the cliff, Ye Qing observed the Dingyi Army in the distance for a while, estimated the speed of the Dingyi Army, and jumped off the cliff.
Under the cliff is a river valley. The river valley is long and narrow, with towering cliffs on both sides, which is quite steep.
Ye Qing had previously observed that this river valley was the only way for the Dingyi Army to rush to rescue the Zhuman Army. It was not impossible to take a detour, but it would waste at least half an hour. Therefore, if the Dingyi Army wanted to rush to help, it was not impossible. The Zhuman Army will definitely choose to go through this river valley.
And this river valley is undoubtedly the best place for him to stop the Dingyi Army.
After walking around the river valley, observing the terrain, and then placing some prepared things around, Ye Qing jumped up, and when he ran out of energy, he used his right hand like a hook to grab the protruding rock on the cliff. The sharp stone took advantage of the breath and leaped up again, like a spiritual ape, leaping onto the cliff in the blink of an eye.
"call……"
Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face: "Now, it's up to Qingyou."
