The blue sky, the fiery red sunset, the yellow sand is still hot, and the war horses easily raise a puff of smoke and dust when they step on it, covering the sky and the sun, like a dream.
With the rapid sound of horse hooves, a burst of yellow sand instantly rolled up around the military camp. When the yellow sand gradually fell, everyone only saw the back of a figure wearing a white robe and silver armor...
On the other side, in the commander's tent in the center of the military camp, Huo Wu, who was dressed in dusty clothes, knelt on one knee. Although his face was obviously tired, his eyes were full of excitement when he looked at the figure with his back to him and looking at the map.
He was delighted, "Your Highness! Fortunately, my subordinates have fulfilled their mission and have expelled the Qiudi traitors to the east of the Longxiang Mountains!"
As soon as he heard what he said, Feng Zhi's eyes lit up when he was standing next to Chu Lan, and he hurriedly took a step forward, "Really? That's great!"
The other people in the room were obviously excited when they heard the news, and their frowns unfurled like grass after a long drought.
Some soldiers even couldn't help crying with joy and tears streaming down their cheeks.
No wonder these tough men are so excited, they have been waiting for this news for too long!
Counting from the day of the expedition, this fierce battle has been going on for nearly seven months. From the white snow to the scorching sun, from the cotton-padded thick armor to the blue-shirted short fight, you advance and I retreat, you chase and I hide, you retreat and I attack, thirty
Six strategies, step by step.
No one thought that little Qiu Di would be able to show such strong fighting spirit this time!
Not to mention that a while ago, many soldiers began to feel war-weary because they had been away from home for too long. If His Royal Highness had not been a deterrent enough, I am afraid that the morale of these soldiers would have been weakened long ago!
Fortunately, in the past month, good news has come frequently, which once again boosted the morale of the army.
The battle of Longxiang Mountain, which lasted for half a month, was undoubtedly the most brutal one, and it was also the one that could determine the outcome——
The terrain of Longxiang Mountain is strange. It is close to the border of Qiu Di. It is obviously a desert with yellow sand, but it is surrounded by poisonous miasma. Qiu Di's thieves, as long as they hide back in Longxiang Mountain, Dahui will not want to set foot in it again.
But this time, it can be said that he is proud and proud. Not only has he avenged the humiliation of these decades, but it has also given the Dahui soldiers unprecedented confidence!
Since the dragon elephant can be defeated, why worry about not being able to capture Qiu Di?!
Huo Wu also had a face full of joy, looking at Chu Lan who slowly turned around, her eyes full of piety.
If he had seen the intellectual wisdom of the people in front of him when he was in Shangjing City in the past, then this time on the Qiudi battlefield, he had seen too many military strategies!
Taking a deep breath, Huo Wu spoke again: "Your Highness, Qiu Di's army has been confronting us for half a month and has already lost its horses and food. Our army only needs to reorganize for a day and a night before launching another offensive. By then, we will not be afraid of Qiu Di."
Not broken!”
Huo Wu, who returned to the battlefield, had a bit more fighting spirit and awe in his eyes that he didn't have in Shangjing City, and a bit more overwhelming momentum, but also lost a bit of the softness and delicacy of the past.
As a result, he didn't notice that His Highness spoke in a joyful scene, but his eyes never wavered, "Let's go back and rest first. In the battle at Longxiang Mountain, all those who have merit will be rewarded.
"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Huo Wu happily knelt down and thanked him.
He doesn't care about fame, but he can't let other soldiers feel cold.
No matter how much we talk about rewards for merit, they cannot compare to the brutality of war.
But this is the only thing that is fair in war.
After Huo Wu retreated, the other soldiers also bowed and retreated. Outside Chu Lan's camp, the voices of the soldiers congratulating Huo Wu were soon heard.
In the camp, Chu Lan squinted his eyes, turned around slowly, and looked at the huge map - it was a map that not only had a big emblem and the territory of Qiu Di, but also a vast ocean and many things in it.
Unmarked areas.
But if you look more closely, you find that it's not actually the case.
Although it can be seen that this is the territory of Da Hui, the words Da Hui are not marked on it.
Feng Zhi resisted the urge to go out and ask Huo Wu how he won this battle. He turned around and saluted Chu Lan, "Your Highness, you haven't slept for three days. Since the battle at Longxiang Mountain has been won, why don't you please
Your Highness, please take care of yourself and rest early."
At the end of his speech, Feng Zhi's tone couldn't help but become worried.
He didn't know why His Highness the Crown Prince hadn't slept for the past three days, and spent the whole night staring at the map that Mu Qing brought back a month ago.
But he knew that if His Highness continued to endure like this, his body would definitely not be able to bear it.
But who knows, this time it will be the same as in the past few days. Chu Lan still just replied to him lightly, "It's okay."
There is no further text.
Feng Zhi felt anxious, his eyes were red, and he subconsciously knelt down to plead. At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the camp.
Feng Zhi turned to look at the person who came and couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He hurried over and said, "Mu Qing, you came back just in time. Please help me persuade His Highness. He has already..."
"Feng Zhi, you talked a lot today." Chu Lan turned around calmly, her tone neither fast nor slow, but enough to block Feng Zhi's unfinished words in her throat.
Fortunately, these people were familiar with each other. As soon as Mu Qing saw his anxious and angry look, he knew what he was going to say, and there was a hint of sigh in his cold eyes.
How can they decide some things?
Mu Qing lowered his eyes: "Your Highness, Murong Chun has come to Longxiang Mountain."
Hearing the news, even Feng Zhi, who was anxious, couldn't help but feel happy, and quickly said, "Is he planning to die? He's just in time, let's see how Huo Wu takes his head tomorrow!"
Feng Zhi hated Murong Chunlai with all his teeth.
If it hadn't been for him, maybe none of this would have happened!
Mu Qing also said, "Feng Zhi is right, Huo Wu has laid a trap on Longxiang Mountain. Once he steps in, there will be no return!"
Feng Zhi nodded sharply, thinking that now His Highness could finally go to bed!
But unfortunately, despite the two of them singing and singing, the other person in the camp did not speak.
Mu Qing was slightly startled, inexplicably feeling that something was wrong, and subconsciously looked up.
I saw the figure who had been standing in front of the map for an unknown length of time, suddenly turned around and walked out, "Prepare a team of elite troops for me, enter the Dragon Elephant!"
"Your Highness?!" Feng Zhi suddenly froze, "What are you going to do at this time, Your Highness? Aren't you going to attack the mountain tomorrow night? Huo Wu and the others just rested..."
The wind at the border was very strong, and it was even more biting at night. Before he could finish speaking, he was blocked by the wind carrying sand that came in after someone opened the tent curtain.
"Bah, bah, bah -" Feng Zhi spit out sand and winked at Mu Qing. Although he was speechless, how could Mu Qing not know what he was going to say? It was just...
Sighing softly, Mu Qing's usually cold eyes were filled with a hint of unspeakable sadness, "Feng Zhi, there are some things that we should just leave alone."
Rather than saying that His Highness wanted to capture Qiu Di, it was better to say that he just wanted to find Murong Chunlai, who had been hiding from him for six months, to verify something.
This war epidemic is meant for one person.
His Royal Highness, the crown prince of their family, is an emotional lunatic.
But how dare he say this?
It was night, except for a few people in the Dahui camp, no one knew that Prince Chu Lan only led a small group of people out of the camp and headed straight for Longxiang Mountain.
