Forty miles south of Hongnong, there is a dense forest here. Because it is not far away from Sanxiao Mountain, it is called Sanxiao Forest.
At this time, it was evening and the red sun was setting in the west. From the road south of Sanxiao Forest, two people were riding leisurely. On the left horse was a man, wearing a black robe and wearing a faint smile.
, at first glance, he seems to be in his twenties, but upon closer inspection, his eyes, which are as deep as autumn water, seem to have experienced eternity of vicissitudes, which is unpredictable.
Next to the man in black robe is a handsome man wearing a white robe and riding a white horse. This man's face looks good and there is no hint of anger or anger, as if in his eyes, only the man in black robe beside him is worthy of attention.
He was carrying a long baggage on his back, which was more than one foot or two in length. There was a vague aura of heroism in it.
There have been continuous wars in the vicinity of Hongnong and Sanyaoshan for several years, and the wars have been endless. It can be said that there are very few people strolling around like these two people. Moreover, it is getting late now, and the already very few pedestrians on the road are even more hurried now.
, the sun sets in the west, a scene of twilight in the world.
"Brother, may I ask why you are leaving in such a hurry? Is the demon army coming?" The black-robed man on the horse smiled and asked the common people who were trotting all the way and looking back.
The person he asked was a young man in coarse clothes. The young man didn't even raise his head, and said as he ran: "Who knows whose army it is? Anyway, it's a huge area, so don't go that way.
, if you are caught as a young man, I’m afraid there won’t be anywhere to cry.”
"Army..." Seeing the young man leaving in a hurry, the man in black robe didn't ask any more questions. He just raised his head and looked towards the north.
"Your Majesty, we..." Seeing that he was thoughtful, the man in white robe couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"Zilong, let's go over and have a look. This time, there will definitely be something good to watch." The man in black robe smiled slightly, and galloped towards the dense forest in front of him. The man in white robe was also refreshed, and the horses were all around him.
.gone with it.
These two people are none other than His Majesty Qin Yang, the emperor of the Ming Empire, and Zhao Yun, the commander of the Forbidden Army. Since Qin Yang retreated from Hangu Pass, he has been doing nothing in the military camp all day long, and the generals have continued to ask for battle. In the end, Qin Yang really
If you are annoyed, you simply close the golden-domed tent and announce to everyone that you are in seclusion. No one is allowed to disturb you.
Now, after receiving the battle report from Pang Tong, Qin Yang took Zhao Yun and the two of them left the military camp without anyone noticing and came to the vicinity of Hongnong.
The two moved like wind, and after a while, they entered a dense forest on the roadside one after another. Zhao Yun gathered his fighting spirit. The white dragon colt disappeared instantly and merged into his body, while Qin Yang's war horse was tied under a tree.
The two of them moved to a towering tree, found a place with a wide view, and looked quietly towards the northern road.
And just when the two of them had just finished all this, the road to the north was already filled with dust. A team of tens of thousands of people came over in a mighty manner.
This team is mainly composed of infantry. Except for the thousands of soldiers who are opening the way in front of them, who are all armed with light shields or spears, the rest of the soldiers are all carrying sabers on their waists, carrying crossbows on their backs, and huge quivers.
Hanging on the shoulder, in the arrow pot, the feathers of countless eagle feathers and arrow tails are gently trembling with the breeze.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are more than a hundred carriages pulled by four war horses in this team. In war, war horses are the most precious things, but this army only uses them to pull carriages.
There are hundreds of war horses. The number of these horses is enough to form a cavalry squadron. Moreover, next to each carriage, there are at least two soldiers who look very capable and armed with sharp blades to protect them. Go up to the carriage.
Look. Huge pieces of black cloth tightly wrapped the things on the car. Although you can't see clearly what is inside, you can only see that it is larger than an elephant and has deep ruts under the wheels.
.You will know that this thing is extremely heavy.
"Your Majesty, these are General Bai and the others from the Shenji Camp." Zhao Yun recognized the flag of this team at a glance.
Qin Yang nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Pang Tong would use my Shenji Battalion as bait. This is one of the trump cards of our Yellow Turban Army! If anything goes wrong, I'll see what Pang Tong will do with me.
"
Although Qin Yang's words were full of dissatisfaction, there was a bright light in his eyes. He naturally knew that facing Lian Po, who was extremely cautious in using troops, if he didn't place a heavy bet, he might not be fooled.
.Remember that when Dong Zhuo was fighting on the banks of the Luoshui River, wasn't he also used as a bait? The way of using troops is to use every possible means. It is good to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, but to use a huge amount of money is not bad.
It is reasonable to pay a price for victory in the war.
"Hey, are you two bothered by your mumbling? Go away and don't block me from watching the show!" Just as Qin Yang and Zhao Yun were talking, a voice suddenly sounded behind them.
A voice that seemed extremely dissatisfied.
After Qin Yang and Zhao Yun heard the sound, they couldn't help being startled at the same time. Without the slightest hesitation, their bodies immediately jumped towards the branches in front. It wasn't until they were several meters away from where they were that they looked back in surprise.
It's not that Qin Yang and Zhao Yun are timid, nor that they recognize who the speaker is. It's that they are both top masters in the world. Now that the whole world is isolated by the Demon Lord, the world
, even beings like the Three Immortals no longer have much immortal power. Who can come up behind them without anyone noticing?! If this person doesn't say anything, then even if he suddenly casts a secret hand and severely injures Qin Yang.
With Zhao Yun, it is not impossible.
Among the two, Qin Yang was particularly surprised. He knew his own strength very well. Since becoming possessed by the Xuanwu beast, Qin Yang's perception has been sharpened to an extremely terrifying level. Even at the beginning, Shadow Guard Hongying was there
He could clearly hear Sun Shangxiang's whispers in the distant camp, but now he was touched behind his back. Could this person be able to escape the detection of the Xuanwu beast?!
Thinking of this, Qin Yang calmed down and said to a place with dense branches and leaves on the big tree: "I'm really sorry. I don't know which friend the two of us have disturbed? I also asked my friend to show up and see him.
So that I can apologize in person."
While Qin Yang was speaking, Zhao Yun was also filled with fighting energy, and he had already placed one hand on the long package behind his back. As long as the opponent made the slightest movement, Zhao Yun would immediately stab him with a spear without hesitation.
The breeze blew and the leaves rustled. After a long time, a faint voice came from where Qin Yang was looking. He said: "There is no need to apologize. I understand that you two don't know that I am here to watch a show. Since
If you know how to avoid it, I will forgive you. Since you are also here to see the show, then watch carefully, the show is about to begin."
"What a show?!" Qin Yang's heart moved when he heard this. When he heard that this person was here, Qin Yang's heart that had just calmed down suddenly started to rise again at this moment. What could be happening in this place?
What a show? Could it be that the people in the bushes had already anticipated that a sneak attack would take place here?! So, is this person an enemy or a friend?
Thinking of this, Qin Yang suddenly smiled on his face and said: "I don't understand what your Excellency said. The war here is chaotic. What fun can there be? Are you talking in your sleep?"
"Talking in sleep? Haha..." The man in the bush laughed and said lightly: "No wonder some people say that His Majesty, the Emperor of the Ming Empire, is the best at pretending to be confused while pretending to understand. Now that I see it, it is indeed the case. His Majesty's ability to pretend to be confused.
, but it’s beyond my reach.”
"Do you know who I am?" Qin Yang stretched out his hand to hold down Zhao Yun who was about to rush over, and asked lightly. Since the other party dares to reveal his identity, he may not be afraid of a sudden attack. At this moment, the most important thing is that from the other party
Distinguish between friends and foes in their words.
The man in the bush said: "Today, the only overlords in the world who are in their twenties are His Majesty Emperor Ming and King Wu Sun Quan. And the one who can be followed by a strong man with a white horse and silver spear, the god of war, is probably you.
No matter how ignorant I am, can't you see something as trivial as this?"
Qin Yang smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Well, your Excellency is right. Since you already know my identity, why not come out and explain it? I wonder if you are the King of Wei or a member of Uncle Liu Huang?"
What Qin Yang said was not a random guess. The person who just called Sun Quan by his first name obviously couldn't be from Soochow. And the person who could talk to him here, Qin Yang believed, should be Liu Bei or Cao Cao.
Men. But Qin Yang was still very unsure about one thing. He knew most of the generals and counselors under Cao Cao and Liu Bei. When did such a master appear?!
The man was silent for a while. Then he suddenly chuckled and said: "King Wei? Uncle Liu Huang? Well, these two people are quite good. They can be called overlords and wise kings that are rare in the world today. But it is a pity that these two people have no ambition."
But he is unable to aspire to conquer the world. How can such a person be worthy of being my master? Your Majesty, there is no need to guess. Even the Emperor of Han and Your Majesty, I do not take him seriously. I am just a wandering cloud and wild crane, a commoner in the mountains."
Qin Yang saw this man saying in front of him that he didn't take him seriously, and his tone was extremely arrogant. Instead of getting angry, he smiled and said: "The Emperor of Han is just a puppet, and I have never thought that I am a hero.
Well, if that’s the case, then why don’t you come out to meet me? Don’t you think I’m worthy of being your master, and that I don’t have the honor of even meeting you once?”
Qin Yang's words were extremely humble. Even Zhao Yun frowned slightly, thinking that Qin Yang was too tolerant of this person. That person also didn't expect that a majestic emperor of the empire could speak like this.
He couldn't help but be stunned, as it seemed to bring back some memories from the past. After a while, he sighed and said: "That's all, I just sigh that fate plays tricks on people... Since your Majesty is so courteous to the virtuous corporal, I will not participate in today's events. This scene,
I’ll leave it to Your Majesty to see for yourself, see you later.”
After the words fell, there was no sound in the bushes. It was not until a few minutes later that Qin Yang's heart moved. Could it be that this person has left?! Thinking of this, Qin Yang couldn't help but wink at Zhao Yun, but continued: "Your Excellency
You said there will be a deadline later, but I don’t know when the deadline is?”
Zhao Yun, following Qin Yang's signal, had quietly arrived at the side of the trees. After he violently pushed aside the branches and leaves, he was shocked to find that there was no one under the branches and leaves.
At this moment, Qin Yang also quickly jumped forward. When he saw the empty branches, he couldn't help but feel horrified. Just now, his own mental power had been locked here, but he didn't notice anyone leaving at all.
There was no movement at all. It can be seen that if this person is not a ghost, he is probably a peerless master. It is really regrettable that he has never been able to meet such a talent. Who could he be? Qin Yang couldn't help remembering himself
The famous generals from the Three Kingdoms period thought about it all, and couldn't help but realize that they didn't have the slightest clue at all.
"Your Majesty, there are words on this tree trunk." Just when Qin Yang felt lost, Zhao Yun suddenly said after entering the bush.
"Is there a word?" Qin Yang hurriedly got into the bushes, and sure enough he saw a line of small words on the tree trunk nearby.
"Feng Chu's clever plan lures Lian Po. The sound of killing begins outside Sanxiao Forest. Xi Zai Yan Ling's 20,000 troops will die as soon as they encounter the divine crossbow."
Qin Yang squinted his eyes and looked at these four sentences that were not even jingle, but his heart was filled with awe. These four sentences were exactly about Pang Tong's plan to lure the enemy. In other words, this person had already
After seeing through Pang Tong's plan, he also predicted that Lian Po would ambush the Shenji Camp at Sanxiao Forest. If this person is an enemy rather than a friend, he only needs to tell Lian Po about this. I am afraid that not only Pang Tong will not be able to win, but also he himself
The two elite troops under his command, the Houtu Camp and the Shenji Camp, will definitely be destroyed!
Zhao Yun on the side also saw the clues and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, who is this person? Not only is he extraordinary in strength, but he is also able to see through Pang Sima's plan. Such a person will never be unknown."
"Who is it? Who is it..." Upon hearing Zhao Yun's question, Qin Yang also squinted his eyes and stared at the small characters on the tree trunk, racking his brains and thinking.
"Ah!? Could it be, could it be..." Suddenly, Qin Yang's eyes lit up and he stared straight at the tree trunk. He said "Could it be" two times in a row. It seemed as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
"Your Majesty? What's wrong?" Zhao Yun also noticed something strange about Qin Yang. Ever since Qin Yang returned from the Immortal Island, Zhao Yun had never seen him so shocked. Could it be that Your Majesty actually knows this person?
A few minutes later, Qin Yang let out a long breath. He still didn't move his eyes from the tree trunk, but murmured: "I didn't expect it to be him? How could he come to this place? Moreover,
Then he ignored the matter and walked away? Could he really just sit back and ignore it?"
And just when Qin Yang was frowning, thinking, and muttering to himself, suddenly a loud shouting of death could be heard in the distance. The attention of Qin Yang and Zhao Yun was immediately attracted.
Qin Yang even looked into the distance and said to Zhao Yun beside him: "Zilong, be ready to fight at any time!"
"Yes!" Zhao Yun nodded immediately. But then he was a little puzzled by Qin Yang's inexplicable words. Before coming here, Qin Yang was full of confidence. He had always said that he came here just to watch the show.
Look at how Pang Tong planned to kill Lian Po and the 20,000 Yanling Guards. But at this moment, Qin Yang's expression was solemn and his body was tense. He was staring at the battlefield not far away, as if he was about to join the battle at any time. Could it be that it was
Is it because of that person just now?
On the road next to Sanxiao Forest, the sound of killing was heard. Countless demonic armies rushed out from the dense forest on the east side like a tide. On the road to the north, smoke and dust rose, and the sound of horse hooves shook.
In the sky, a cavalry team of tens of thousands of people, like a whirlwind, rushed towards the Shenji Battalion that hastily responded to the battle. The cavalry galloping at the front had already fully drawn the bow strings, and the bright arrow tips were far away.
Pointing at the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.
On the other hand, the Shenji Battalion seemed to have fallen into chaos. Under the sudden charge of nearly 20,000 demonic troops in the woods, the soldiers carrying crossbows seemed to have forgotten that they were crossbowmen, and just started shouting.
They fled towards the carriages covered with black cloth. Only about a quarter of the crossbowmen took off their bows and arrows, and under the cover of the light infantry at the front, fired back arrows.
The cavalry from the north was getting closer. After seeing the Shenji Battalion in such a panic, their morale suddenly lifted. The leader, a veteran with white beard and hair and wearing a pale golden armor, whistled. The cavalry at the front immediately let go.
arrow!
In an instant, arrows rained down, and in the panic, the guard soldiers of the Shenji Battalion fell instantly. The sound of wailing and screaming continued, and blood splashed in the air.
"Your Majesty, we..." Seeing this, Zhao Yun couldn't help frowning and looking at Qin Yang.
At this time, Qin Yang didn't seem to be as nervous as he was at the beginning. His expression softened slightly, he took a breath, shook his head lightly and said, "No rush, let's wait and see what the situation is."
And just when Qin Yang finished speaking, suddenly, a black wave seemed to surge out of the center of the chaotic Shenji Camp. From the condescending position of Qin Yang and Zhao Yun, they could see it even more clearly.
I saw that those soldiers who had just been in chaos and had not even taken off their bows and arrows were now holding a thick black shield in their hands, and in the other hand, they were holding a spear that was more than three meters long.
!Under the armor of their Shenji camp, black armor can be faintly seen, shining with a cold light under the setting sun!
"It's Houtu Camp! They are not Shenji Camp!" Zhao Yun exclaimed.
At this moment, half of the black cloth on more than a hundred carts has been lifted. Under the black cloth, where is the magical crossbow? It is clearly the unique equipment of the soldiers of the Houtu Camp, a heavy shield and a spear! Just like Zhao Yun
It was said that among the more than 30,000 Shenji Camp soldiers, nearly one-third were disguised as Houtu Camp soldiers!
The rest of the soldiers from the Shenji Battalion hid behind the heavy shields of the Houtu Camp, firing their bows and arrows to kill the demonic army that rushed out of the dense forest.
After the cavalry on the Northern Avenue approached, the flags in the Shenji camp were waved, and the black cloth on the remaining fifty carriages was lifted almost at the same time! The huge Shenji crossbows, at this moment, were like
Each one looks like a ferocious steel monster, with thick and cold crossbow tips pointing directly at the galloping cavalry.
"God's crossbow! Fire!" With a command, fifty divine machine crossbows that can fire twenty arrows at the same time roared.
A huge wave suddenly appeared on the Yellow Turban Army's position, and more than a thousand huge crossbow arrows roared towards the galloping cavalry like lightning!
When the golden-armored veteran galloping at the front saw this, his pupils shrank sharply and he yelled: "No! We have fallen into a trap! Yanling Guards, withdraw your troops!"
But at this moment, an unwritten banner was suddenly raised on the hill on the other side of the continent. The demon army that was originally ambushing there had already fallen silently at the foot of the hill.
Under the banner, not only were there fifty steel monsters with tight bowstrings, but there was also a scribe in robes standing proudly, staring coldly at the Yanling Guards who started to become confused.
"General Lian Po, since you are here, please stay. I, Pang Tong, designed you, and the design was very hard..." The robed scribe smiled coldly, and suddenly issued an order: "Pass the order! General Tao Sheng on the north side,
All our officers and soldiers who are ambushing behind the dense forest on the east side will attack! Let's catch turtles in a jar!"
