Chapter 204
I heard that the one who came was the eighth prince of Wu Chu. There was a dispute between that boy and the daughter of Marquis Dingyuan about the fate of a general. I also heard that the winner had been decided between the two. Some said that the eighth prince won, while others said that the victorious general was the winner.
The daughter of Marquis Dingyuan is the general.
There are different opinions, but in the end there is still no answer.
Now when they arrived in front of the formation, the soldiers who had inquired about the news came back and reported that it was indeed the Eighth Prince who was leading the troops. Everyone was overjoyed.
The fate that the monarchs and ministers of Da Qi have been waiting for has finally arrived!
First, Marquis Dingyuan died in the camp in western Shanxi, and now he has been besieged by Duke Lu for several days; secondly, Marquis Dingyuan's son, Bei Yueli, was trapped in Duanling for more than ten days and was still struggling to his death, but the defense was gradually weakening.
Probably starving to death.
By the way, Bei Yueli was a special figure. He was trapped in Broken Ridge with little food and clothing, and Lu Tu sent people to attack the mountain from time to time. If ordinary people had surrendered early in the morning, he was still holding on there.
Finally, the reinforcements arrived, but it was a rookie prince who was fighting for the first time. Haha, God helps us all!
"Stick to this way and capture Prince Wu Chu alive!" A guard general was extremely excited.
"Do you want to inform General Lu?" Xiao Bing asked.
"No need!" The guard waved his hand with great satisfaction, "Why should a mere young man alarm the general? If we can't even catch a boy who is not even a young man, how can we have the dignity to come back together? Go and order people.
Step up your precautions and lure the enemy deeper..."
Haha, what the heck, here comes the opportunity to be promoted to a higher position!
The Lu family and his son were determined to capture the Marquis of Dingyuan and his son. When a general eats meat, he must give soup to his subordinates, right? The merit of capturing the prince is not worse than that of the Marquis of Dingyuan and his son. At least he can be promoted to the commander-in-chief of an army.
"Go down and relax the sneak attack on the mountain road, let the vanguard pass smoothly, lure the opponent's general into the mountain road, and then ambush!"
In addition, those who ambush at the peaks on both sides of the mountain road should be more careful about being attacked at night by people who climb to the top.
The guard stood on the high ground near the exit of the mountain road, looking towards the entrance in the distance, wishing he could see the figure of the eighth prince immediately. He knew that the other party was here to save people, and he would definitely send a vanguard tonight to clear the obstacles on the mountain road.
Young people, young and energetic, eager for success, always have to endure some hardships before they realize the difficulties and dangers of establishing a successful career.
It's a pity that when meeting him, the eighth prince might not have a chance to learn his lesson and make a comeback...
The Xishan Mountains, under the dark moon and high winds, seemed extremely quiet tonight. Apart from the howling wind, there was no sound in the huge forest.
In the vast night sky, the bright moon hangs high and the stars are densely covered.
The clear and soft silver light falls on the world, illuminating the outline of the Western Mountain shrouded in the dark night clearly, and the shadows of the trees. Even if you look down on the earth from a high altitude, it is difficult to detect which are trees, which are rocks, and which are people...
Unless they move around from time to time and reveal their location.
But at the same time, passing by from high altitude will also leave a shadow. If it is just a flying bird, it may not attract people's attention, but if the flying bird is huge, it will be another matter.
"People! There are people, there are people in the sky -" A soldier standing on the edge of the mountain to relieve himself pointed to the sky and shouted in horror.
Before everyone could react, a shower of arrows mixed with the smell of kerosene fell from the sky. Soon, bunches of flames lit up on the peaks on both sides of the mountain road. They danced with the wind, causing the nearby woods to burn.
Flames shot into the sky on both sides of the mountain road, and the ambush soldiers were caught off guard by howling like ghosts and wolves, achieving the purpose of alerting the enemy.
For example, the guards who were ambushing at the end of the mountain road didn't know what was going on. After a commotion, they sent people to the front to get information, but at the same time their positions were exposed.
In the blink of an eye, the mountain road and the nearby woods at the end burst into flames. The fire was so fierce that it was like a disaster coming from the sky, shaking the earth and the mountains.
Some soldiers who fell down the mountain were lucky to be alive. They panicked and ran into the dark mountain path, because that was the only place without fire. But before they could reach the entrance of the mountain path, several rays of cold light passed by.
They were unable to dodge and were thrown into the air by the impact of the sword energy. When they landed, they were originally alive and turned into several corpses.
At the same time, several figures swept out of the mountain road like lightning. Some intercepted the enemy's deserters, some tested traps in the middle of the road, and some walked around on both sides of the mountain road, quickly destroying traps and roadblocks.
tear down.
Because behind them, the sound of heavy horse hooves was gradually approaching.
In the strong fire, the sounds of fighting broke out one after another, and blood spattered everywhere, dyeing the desolate forest of the Western Mountains red. As the firelight flickered, flags were flying, and a group of heavy iron cavalry finally appeared at the end of the mountain road intersection.
A silver-armored general in the vanguard was extremely eye-catching. He captured the thief first and captured the king first. Several arrows shot through the air.
After a few clicks, the arrows were knocked down by the guards around him with their swords. Two of them jumped up on horseback, like eagles spreading their wings and flying straight towards the direction where the arrows came from.
Faced with this scene, General Shining Armor remained unmoved and continued to lead his cavalry forward.
…
Eagle Guards, as the name suggests, are guards flying in the sky like eagles.
Over the years, her Twenty-Eight Star Guards have become very skilled in light skills. They were the first to try out wing gear equipment. They learned from their failed experiences and completed the difficult moves of the Eagle Guards before passing them on to the soldiers to minimize the casualties of the soldiers.
It's a pity that a traitor has appeared, and there are only twenty-seven star guards left.
During this expedition, only seventeen people accompanied the army. The rest were scattered among the people and were not recalled.
Fortunately, there are many brave and fearless young people in the army who dare to try flying in the sky, so they became Eagle Guards.
Back then, when Bei Yueli went to Dantai Mountain to train with Yuan Zhao, Eagle Guard's training had just begun. Although he appreciated his sister's whimsical ideas, he also thought she was fanciful. How could a person fly in the sky?
If he fell to his death, as a general, he would be so distressed!
Not to mention that he didn't agree to try it. Even if he agreed and reported it to the court, the court would think he was crazy! Isn't this a joke with the lives of the soldiers?!
Now he is trapped in Duanling, without food for two days, and the water is about to be cut off. He sees his entire army being wiped out... Under the night, Bei Yueli's face is pale, and his eyes are dull as he looks around at the soldiers who are following him wholeheartedly, feeling deeply guilty.
.
If they could save their lives if he were captured alone, they would probably carry off their heads. But the opponent was Lu Tu, who was ruthless and had no habit of treating prisoners well.
He may not die if he falls into Lu Tu's hands, but these men will definitely die.
Rather than just surviving alone, it is better to fight to the death, or to fight a bloody path for them. He has arranged to wait until the beginning of Yin Dynasty, when people are most sleepy, to launch the last battle down the mountain.
Whether it's life or death, it's all decided in one fell swoop.
This may be the last night of his life. Bei Yueli, his lieutenants, and generals gathered together to chat about plans for the early morning, while sighing:
"Oh, if I can go back alive this time, I will definitely train you all to become Eagle Guards! From now on, you will never be afraid of being trapped in the mountains and waiting to die!"
"Eagle Guard?" A lieutenant general's eyes lit up and he said in amusement, "I remember that it was the idea first proposed by the little princess. I wonder how her Star Guard training is going."
"It should be done, right?" Bei Yueli said with great hope.
Once people have expectations, they will have the motivation and fighting spirit to live. They need this vision and fighting spirit now.
"Hey?! General, there's a fire over there!" Everyone was trying to laugh heartily. Someone suddenly saw the flames rising into the sky. He couldn't help but stood up and took a closer look, "It's over the pass!"
What? Reinforcements are coming?!
When they thought of this, the originally listless soldiers suddenly became energetic and stood up to watch.
At this moment, several long and short sharp bird calls suddenly came from above everyone's heads——
Huh, Bei Yueli looked up in shock, and was shocked to find several black shadows flying around high in the sky, seemingly searching everywhere, and he couldn't help but yelled subconsciously:
"Torch!"
The sound would alert the ambushing troops at the foot of the mountain, and the flag-flower signal might be fake, but the silent code he discussed with his sister-in-law could not be faked.
He was the only one holding the torch and swung it a few times to the left and a few times to the right. Soon, a long roar came from the sky again, and several black shadows separated into several directions and went away.
The direction in which one of the black shadows flew was exactly the direction where the fire was blazing.
Bei Yueli: "..."
Chapter completed!
