Chapter 1091 Victory and Return
Thirty miles northwest of Wuguan is a ravine. Hidden in the valley behind it is a mountain road large enough for four horses to run parallel.
Although the mountain roads are not wide and there are many narrow and difficult roads, this road is very important to the Liang army in the pass.
This mountain road is the entrance and exit where the crossbowmen of the Liang army often go to and from the pass. This is also the road that the Great Liang Dragon Riders took when they left the pass this time.
The mountain road twists and turns and has countless forks, but there are only one or two forks leading to the pass, so only Liangzhou hunters or crossbowmen who are familiar with the terrain know this hidden road.
Yan Jun often wandered around here before and even came to this valley, but he never found such a road hidden in it.
There are several mountain roads like this on the east and west sides of Wuguan. Some are known to both sides, and some are only known to Liang Jun.
The scouts on both sides will go deep into the enemy's rear through these paths to investigate the military situation.
These traffic arteries are often the focus of contention between the two sides, and small-scale encounters often break out among them.
The wind in late autumn is getting cooler and cooler, causing the big trees in the valley to shed their leaves one after another. A thick layer of fallen leaves has accumulated at the feet of the tree roots.
When the weather gets colder, it means winter is coming, and it also means a war is about to begin outside Beiliang Pass.
Today, the mountains are as quiet as ever, but there is an added layer of chilling air.
The birds that had been circling over the mountains and forests were all gone, and thin sounds occasionally came from the dense forests of the valley.
If you look carefully, you will see that there are countless white-armored soldiers hiding in twos and threes in the dense forests on both sides of the mountain road.
Here and there, there are a bunch of soldiers with resolute faces, mostly sitting cross-legged on the ground, occasionally chatting quietly and sometimes closing their eyes to meditate. Without exception, they try their best to use trees to hide their figures.
The snow-white Beiliang horses were tied to the side, and there were various weapons such as crossbows, feather arrows, and scimitars on their backs.
Yes, this is Bai Xuewei.
On the hillside not far away, Xue Tian and Yu Binyang stood side by side, looking towards the end of the horizon in the north.
They came out to assist the Daliang Dragon Cavalry in order to prevent the Yan army from sending out large troops to intercept and kill the Daliang Dragon Cavalry.
Although the eight thousand white snow guards in the valley look a little scattered, in fact they only need a horn to enter combat mode.
It has been a day since Bai Xuewei arrived here. Originally, Xue Tian and Yu Binyang were still a little worried about the war.
But early this morning, a team of crossbowmen who came back first had brought back good news, and the two of them were completely relieved.
"Hey, it's a pity that I couldn't go out with the prince this time, so Qian Zimo and the two guys had a good time." Yu Binyang muttered slightly unwillingly.
Since the battle a few months ago, the White Snow Guards and the Red Flame Army have not attacked for a long time.
Xue Tian rolled his eyes: "Come on, you have all the light cavalry, why are you planning to replace them with spears to charge into the battle?"
Yu Binyang patted his chest confidently: "General Xue, what you said is wrong. We Bai Xuewei can also shoot with spears, but we are not just cavalry archers."
"Make the best use of things, and use people to the best of their abilities." Xue Tian held his head high and said, "Let the prince take you to play head-on battle. He is reluctant to let it go."
Each of the main cavalry armies in the Liang Army has its own characteristics, and normal battle arrangements will be based on their characteristics.
Yu Binyang said miserably: "So I envy these two guys, alas~"
Xue Tian's face trembled. He was actually more unhappy than Yu Binyang, because he had never fought a serious battle and could only watch helplessly.
"Oh~ I'm envious, I'm envious~" Yu Binyang emphasized his tone.
"I'm so jealous!"
Xue Tian finally couldn't bear it any longer. He kicked Yu Binyang angrily:
"You, you, you, you have been fighting in Wuguan for a year, and you have fought a lot of battles. The Daliang Dragon Cavalry also went out to have a good time this time. I haven't been on the battlefield since the war started until today."
The deputy governor of Beiliang was like a resentful woman at this time, with a look of grievance on her face.
"Hahaha~"
Yu Binyang couldn't help laughing loudly when he saw him like this, causing the guards not far away to look over blankly.
"You're laughing!" Xue Tian cursed a few more times.
"Okay, okay, stop laughing." Yu Binyang covered his stomach and waved his hand.
"I'll beat you if you laugh again!" Xue Tian waved his fist a few times. He had absolute seniority in front of Yu Binyang.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's coming, it's coming!" Just as Yu Binyang was about to continue speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up and he reached out and pointed into the distance.
Xue Tian was startled, and turned around to look. Sure enough, a large black shadow had appeared at the end of the horizon, and it was rushing towards this direction.
Needless to say, it was those ten thousand Great Liang Dragon Riders.
"I'm finally back." Xue Tian smiled slightly.
"Boom~"
The sound of horse hooves gradually sounded, and the silvery cavalry was imposing, and countless military flags were fluttering in the wind.
The eight thousand white snow guards in the valley also quickly formed an array, and soon formed a long dragon on the mountain road.
Xue Tian and Yu Binyang rode out of the valley quickly and approached to greet them. Although the cavalry had not arrived yet, the murderous and bloody smell had already hit their faces.
The Daliang Dragon Riders had just defeated 20,000 Yan troops head-on yesterday. Most of the soldiers' armors had blood stains on them, and they had no time to clean them up, so they just marched all the way back.
Chen Yue, Qian Zimo and Xiao Shangwen took the lead in jumping out of the riding formation and came to the front of the two men.
Xue Tian and Xue Tian both clasped their fists and shouted:
"Your Majesty!"
"Hey, you two came in person, it's not bad. The deputy governor of Beiliang and the head coach of Baixuewei greeted you, so we are so proud." Chenyue chuckled.
After fighting a victorious battle, Chen Yue was obviously in a good mood.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty on your great victory!" Xue Tian said with a hearty smile.
Yu Binyang, on the other hand, greeted Qian Zimo very familiarly: "Good guy, well done!"
"Hahaha~"
After everyone chatted with each other, Xue Tian asked softly: "Your Majesty, why don't we go back to the city first? This is not the place to talk after all."
"Okay, let's go back." Chen Yue nodded naturally. The Great Liang Dragon Riders had been out for six full days and fought continuously, so they were indeed a little tired.
Xue Tian and Yu Binyang turned around on their horses, preparing to lead the way ahead.
"etc!"
The two of them were about to move their horses' hooves when they were stopped by Chen Yue.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Xue Tian turned his head in confusion.
Chenyue took two steps forward on his horse, looked towards the east in the direction of Wuguan and asked, seemingly casually: "Are the Yan army still attacking the city?"
"Yesterday we were still attacking the city when we set out." Xue Tian replied in a deep voice.
Chen Yue's lips curled up: "Then we won't go back to the city through the small road, but go back directly north of Wuguan Pass."
Several generals were stunned for a moment, and then chuckled.
This is undoubtedly an attempt to step on the Yan army's head after winning the battle.
