Forty miles south of Hongnong, there is a dense forest here. Because it is not far 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 main road south of Sanxiao Forest, two people were riding leisurely. There is a man on the left horse, wearing a black robe, with a faint smile. At first glance, he seems to be in his twenties, but if you look closely, his eyes are like a deep pool of autumn water, and it seems that he has experienced eternity. The vicissitudes of life are general and unpredictable.
Next to the man in black robe is a handsome man wearing white robe and riding a white horse. This man's face looked good and there was no trace of joy or anger, as if in his eyes, only the man in black robe beside him was 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 faint air of heroism.
Hongnong and Sanxian Mountain have been fighting in succession for several years, and the soldiers are all overwhelming. 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 is setting in the west, and it is like a twilight scene 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 there. If you are captured, you won't have anywhere to cry." go."
"The army" The man in black robe saw the young man leaving in a hurry and didn't ask any more questions. 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 rode his horse towards the dense forest ahead. The man in the white robe was also refreshed and came with his war horses. Then go.
These two people are none other than His Majesty Qin Yang, the current emperor of the Ming Empire, and Zhao Yun, the commander of the Forbidden Army. Since Qin Yang retreated from Hanguguan, 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 was really fed up, so he simply closed the golden dome tent and declared seclusion to all the generals. No one is allowed to disturb.
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 of them moved like the 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 covered in 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, inside the arrow pot, the feathers of countless eagle feathers and arrow tails trembled gently with the breeze.
The most eye-catching thing is among this team. There were more than a hundred carriages pulled by four horses. In war, war horses are the most precious thing, and this army uses hundreds of war horses just to pull carts. The number of these horses is enough to form a cavalry squadron. Moreover, next to each carriage, there were at least two soldiers who looked extremely capable and armed with sharp blades to protect them. Look above the carriage. Huge sheets of black cloth tightly wrapped the contents of the car. Although it was unclear what was inside, the only thing that could be seen was that it was larger than an elephant and the deep ruts under the wheels. Then I knew that this thing was extremely heavy.
"Your Majesty, it's 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 to accompany me. "
Although Qin Yang's words were full of dissatisfaction, his eyes were shining brightly. He naturally knew that facing Lian Po, who was extremely cautious in using his troops, if he didn't place a heavy bet, he might not be fooled. Think about it, when you fought against Dong Zhuo on the bank of Luoshui, weren't you also regarded as a bait? The way of using troops is to use all possible means. It is good to obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost, but to use it at a huge cost It is reasonable to exchange 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 this voice, they couldn't help being surprised at the same time without any hesitation., the two bodies immediately jumped towards the branches in front. It wasn't until the two of them jumped 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 is it that they recognized who the speaker was. But you need to know that both of them are now the pinnacle masters in the world. Now the whole world is isolated by the Demon Lord. In this world, even beings like the Three Immortals no longer have much immortal power. Who can come behind them without anyone noticing?! If this person didn't say anything, it would not be impossible for Qin Yang and Zhao Yun to be severely injured even if they suddenly resorted to secret tactics.
Among the two, Qin Yang was particularly surprised. He knows 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 back then, he could clearly hear Shadow Guard Hongying whispering to Sun Shangxiang in the distant camp, but now he was touched behind her. Could it be that this person was 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 one hand was already pressed on the long package behind him. As long as the opponent makes the slightest movement, Zhao Yun will immediately stab him with a spear without hesitation.
The breeze blew by and the leaves rustled. After a long time, a faint voice came from where Qin Yang was looking. Said: "There is no need to apologize. I think you two don't know that I am here to watch the show. Since you know how to avoid it, I forgive you. Since you are also here to watch the show, then be nice Just watch, 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 just calmed down. At this moment, he suddenly mentioned it again. What fun can there be in this place? Could it be said that the people in the bushes have already expected that a sneak attack will take place here?! So, is this person an enemy or a friend?
Thinking of this, Qin Yang suddenly smiled 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. Your Majesty is so good at pretending to be confused. , but it¡¯s beyond my reach.¡±
"Do you know who I am?" Qin Yang reached out to hold down Zhao Yun who was about to rush over, and asked calmly. Since the other party dares to reveal his identity, he may not be afraid of a sudden attack. And at this moment. The most important thing is to distinguish whether the other party is a friend or an enemy from his 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, Your Majesty. 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, how about we 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 just a random guess. This person just called Sun Quan by his first name, so it is obvious that he cannot be from Soochow. Qin Yang believed that the people who could talk to him here should be Liu Bei or Cao Cao's subordinates. 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. Suddenly he chuckled and said: "King Wei? Uncle Liu Huang? Well, these two people are pretty good. They can be called the rare overlords and wise kings in today's world. But it's a pity that these two people have no ambition. But they are unable to win the world. That's it. How can a human being be worthy of being my master? Your Majesty, there is no need to guess. Even the Emperor of Han and Your Majesty, I don¡¯t take him seriously. I am just a wandering cloud and wild crane, a common man in the mountains."
When Qin Yang saw this person saying in front of him that he didn't take him seriously, 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. In this case, why don't you come out to see me? Is it possible that I am not worthy of being your master? Wouldn¡¯t it be such an honor to have a one-time relationship?¡±
Qin Yang said this with such humility that even Zhao Yun frowned slightly, thinking that Qin Yang was too tolerant of this person. The man didn't expect that a majestic emperor could speak like this. He couldn't help but be stunned. It seemed to bring back some past memories. After a while, he sighed and said: "That's all, I just sigh that fate has played a trick on people Since your majesty is like this Corporal Li Xian, I will not take part in today's events. I will leave this scene to Your Majesty for yourself, see you later."
After the words fell, there was no more sound among the trees. It wasn't until a few minutes later that Qin Yang's heart moved. Could it be that this personleft already?! Thinking of this, Qin Yang couldn't help but wink at Zhao Yun, but continued: "Your Excellency said that we will meet you later, but I don't know when the deadline is?"
And Zhao Yun, under Qin Yang's signal, had quietly arrived at the side of the bushes. 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 the slightest movement of anyone leaving. It can be seen that if this person is not a ghost, he is probably a peerless master. It's really a pity that we have never been able to meet such a talented person. Who could he be? Qin Yang couldn't help but think about all the famous generals from the Three Kingdoms period in his memory, and couldn't help but find that he 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 saw a line of small words on the trunk of the tree.
"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, looking at these four sentences that were not even jingle, but his heart felt awe-inspiring. In these four sentences, it is exactly about Pang Tong's tricks to lure the enemy. In other words, this person had already seen through Pang Tong's plan, and had also predicted that Lian Po would ambush Shenji Camp at Sanxiao Forest. If this person is an enemy rather than a friend. As long as he tells Lian Po about this, I am afraid that not only will Pang Tong be unable to win, but his two elite troops, Houtu Camp and 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" 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 two "could it be" 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 His Majesty actually knows this person?
After a few minutes, Qin Yang let out a long breath. He still didn't move his eyes from the tree trunk, but murmured: "I didn't expect that it would be him? How could he come to this place? Moreover, he ignored what was going on and walked away? Could it be that he really Will you just sit back and ignore it?"
And just when Qin Yang was frowning, thinking, and muttering to himself, suddenly a loud shout of death could be heard in the distance. Qin Yang and Zhao Yun's attention 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 has always said that he came here to watch a show and see 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 stared closely at the battlefield not far away, as if he was about to join the battle at any time. Could it be because of that person just now?
On the avenue next to Sanxiao Forest, there was already a loud killing sound. Countless demonic armies rushed out from the dense forest on the east side like a tide, and on the north road, smoke and dust rose, the sound of horse hooves shook the sky, and a cavalry team of tens of thousands of people was like a whirlwind. He quickly rushed towards the Shenji Battalion, which was hastily responding to the challenge. The cavalry galloping at the front had already fully drawn their bow strings, and the bright arrow tips pointed at the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.
On the other hand, the Shenji Camp seems 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 fled in the direction of the carriages covered with black cloth. Only close to a quarter of the crossbowmen took off their bows and arrows, and under the cover of the light infantry at the front, fired back.
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 fired arrows!
In an instant, arrows rained down, and in panic, the guard soldiers of the Shenji Battalion fell instantly. The sound of wailing and screaming continued, and blood spattered 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 as nervous as he was at first. His expression softened slightly, he breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head lightly and said, "There's no rush, we'll wait and see what the situation is."
And just when Qin Yang¡¯s words just fell,Suddenly, a black wave seemed to emerge from the center of the chaotic Shenji Camp. From the condescending position of Qin Yang and Zhao Yun, it is even more clear.
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 Battalion, black armor could be faintly seen, shining with a cold light under the setting sun!
"It's the Houtu Camp! They are not the 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 Houtu Camp soldiers, the heavy shield and spear! As Zhao Yun said, 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 Camp 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.
When 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 divine machine crossbows are like ferocious steel monsters at this moment, with thick and cold crossbow points pointing directly at the galloping cavalry.
"Magic crossbow! Fire!" At the command, fifty divine machine crossbows that can fire twenty arrows at the same time roared.
There was a huge wave 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! Yan Lingwei, withdraw our troops!"
And at this moment, an unwritten flag was suddenly raised on the hill on the other side of the mainland. The demon army that was originally ambushing there had already fallen silently at the foot of the hill.
Under the banner, there were not only fifty steel monsters with tight bowstrings, but also a robed scribe standing proudly, staring coldly at the Yanling Guards who began to be confused.
"General Lian Po, since you are already 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!"
